1 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. The battle to reopen 2 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,959 Speaker 1: America is underway. South Carolina has got its stores and 3 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: beaches coming back into action soon. Florida has opened some 4 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: of its beaches. Meanwhile, New Jersey cops are using drones 5 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: to spy on you in your backyard. Was the NYC 6 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: subway the super spreader of COVID nineteen Sweden says its 7 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: approaches working. Paycheck protection, however, is failing an oral hated 8 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: journals too. That and more coming up. This is the 9 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: Buck Sexon Show, where the mission or mission is to 10 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: decode what really matters with passionable intelligence. Make no mistake 11 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: a great here, a great American Again, the Buck Sexon 12 00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: Show begins. He's a great guy. No, We've already built 13 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: sufficient testing capacity nationwide for states to begin their reopenings, 14 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: and I think you'll be hearing a lot about reopenings 15 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: in the coming weeks and months. Most excitingly, in the 16 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: coming weeks, I think you're going to see some very 17 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: dramatic steps taken and very safely. We're putting safety first. 18 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: We may be opening, but we're putting safety first. Welcome 19 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: the Buck sac and share everybody. Hope you had a 20 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: good weekend. Thank you so much for being here. All Right, 21 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: this is where we are now as a country, the 22 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: single most important issue for all of us to decide, 23 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: and we all must have a voice in this one. 24 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: We all have to have an opinion. We should share 25 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: our opinions, we should have our voices heard. When do 26 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: we get to start living our lives again, at least 27 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: in part. I'm not saying we get to go back 28 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: to normal tomorrow or next month, or at this rate 29 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: even next year. I'm just saying we have to start 30 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: pushing for normalcy, start moving in that direction, start deciding 31 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: that this is something that we're going to do, even if, yes, 32 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: it is imperfect and there are risks attached to it. 33 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: I've been saying all along. People need to understand life 34 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: has risk. You leave, you leave your apartment, bad things 35 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: or your house Bess sor I'm in New York's always 36 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: think of apartments. Bad things can happen to you. I'm 37 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: reminded of the scene in the movie Heat, which I 38 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: think just had its twentieth anniversary in the last couple 39 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: of weeks, where al Pacino tells a would be informant 40 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: a snitch. In fact, either he had killed walking your doggie. 41 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: And he bangs on the table because in the classic 42 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: Pacino moment, he overacts a little bit. I like Pecito, 43 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: but sometimes a little too far. But it is true. 44 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: You can, in fact, it killed walking your doggie, which 45 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm reminded of every time I go outside walking too. Lula. 46 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: Here in the midst of what we're seeing as a 47 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: pandemic worse in New York than anywhere else in the 48 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: country and perhaps even the world, I want to break 49 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: down for you. I finally saw a paper that looks 50 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: at how the subway system may very well have been 51 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: the huge negative factor here for New York. Many of 52 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: us have thought that all along. I've been telling my 53 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: family members that, And there's a lot to unpack there. 54 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: It means a lot for you. If you live in Nebraska, 55 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: what's up kfab Omaha. If you live in Austin, what's 56 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: up KLBJ Austin. If you live in San Diego or Denver, 57 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: or you name it, and you hear about the New 58 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: York City subway research that's been done now on the 59 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: spread of this virus, you might say, Okay, that makes sense, 60 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: and we don't have four million people a day getting 61 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: on the subway, so or four million subway rides, I 62 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: should say, So maybe we're in a very different situation 63 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: than New York. So that's important. Even if you're not 64 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: in the Tri state area, it's important for you to 65 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: hear that analysis. I really dug into it over the weekend. 66 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: Lines up with what I've thought all along. It all 67 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: makes to those of us who know the city, it 68 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: all makes sense, and it will be I think encouraging 69 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: for you in other parts of the country who are saying, 70 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: hold on a second, why can't we open of be 71 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: encouraging for you to hear that if you don't have 72 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: a mass transportation system that the city is completely reliant 73 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: on you are in that that is why you are 74 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,559 Speaker 1: in and will continue to be in much better shape 75 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: than we are here in New York. So, as I 76 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: was saying, we have a lot to dig into today, 77 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: but my biggest, my biggest initial takeaway for all of 78 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: you is that we are getting a reminder here that 79 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: we are seeing something that many of us have known 80 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: all along was going to be a reality. But we're 81 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: only one month into this lockdown and we're getting constant 82 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: reminders that even during a crisis or perhaps especially during one. 83 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: Allowing the government to determine the extent of its own 84 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: powers is a very bad idea. This is a lesson 85 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: we have seen countless times throughout history. But we always 86 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: we always forget it when we're scared, don't we. We 87 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: forget at the moment that it seems we need the 88 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: government to keep us safe and warm, we need the 89 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: government to protect us. The government is always going to 90 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: disappoint you, and I need you to remember, folks, this 91 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: is not about Trump right now, meaning that this analysis 92 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: that I'm giving you on the ineptitude of government, Trump 93 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: is better at what he is doing at his position 94 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: in government than other presidents. True, but there are still 95 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: limitations of government. I think even the President himself would 96 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: admit that, although you know he has a very high 97 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: opinion of his ability, still there are going to be 98 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: shortcomings for the government. The paycheck protection program. I spoke 99 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: to a very good friend of mine over the weekend 100 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: who walked me through in detail what his company is 101 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: going through right now. One hundred thousand dollars of payroll 102 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: they can't meet for the next couple of months. Do 103 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: you think they're and any money from paycheck protection zero dollars, 104 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: no money left in a piggybank. Harvard got to think 105 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: it was nine million, and they've got a forty billion 106 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: dollar endowment. And the government turns around and tell us 107 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: people who are getting who are having to lay off 108 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: their employees, lay off there the people that have built 109 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: these companies, Oh no, sorry, there's no money left for you. 110 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: How is there no money left? And then we're talking 111 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: about a five hundred billion dollars bailout fund for state 112 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: and local governments. My friends, here's really where we are 113 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: on this. The government has shown us exactly why we 114 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: need limitations on its authority, limitations on its power, why 115 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: we have a bill of rights. We've been reminded of 116 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: all this and just the last four to six weeks, 117 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: because you see, the tradeoff isn't give away your rights 118 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: and we'll make everything better. That's not the tradeoff that 119 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: government makes. The tradeoff, especially during a crisis, is give 120 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: away or we will take away your rights, and then 121 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: the thing that we promise you in return will be 122 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: delivered as a half measure and won't be nearly as good, 123 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: or as safe or as helpful as we claim it 124 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: will be. And the moment you have a problem with it, 125 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: We'll tell you. Shut up, peasant, it's a crisis. Go 126 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: back inside. Go look at your empty bank account and 127 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: your children, and your wife and your husband, and your 128 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: aunts and uncles and whoever else you're supporting, your grandkids. 129 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: Go back and look them in the eye and say sorry, 130 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: can't do anything about this. The government told me no work, 131 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: stay indoors. It's getting worse and worse here in New York. 132 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: The situation with the virus is getting better, but the 133 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: overreach and the insanity of the liberal mentality is unfortunately 134 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: growing with every day. Oh wow, you mean that we 135 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: can tell people do as I say or else with 136 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: any aspect of their life. Anything. You can't go outside 137 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: and things unless we say you can. You can't leave 138 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: your home unless we tell you can. We can put 139 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: you under virtual house arrest while you're healthy and have 140 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: done nothing wrong because we say so. You ever have 141 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: the experience that I've had this in in DC many times. 142 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: I've had it in New York too, where there will 143 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: be some motorcade for any president doesn't matter. And the sometimes, 144 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: and I will say it, I have friends who are 145 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: in the Secret Service. I do, but sometimes a Secret 146 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: Service can be deeply imperious and jerks when it comes 147 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: to things like this. I've I've had it happened to 148 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: me a few times where they're unnecessarily snippy when you 149 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: ask Sarah, you know, can I can I cross this? 150 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: You know, I'm always very polite to anybody who's doing 151 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: their job, trust me. But you know you've had that moment, 152 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: you know, can I can I cross the street? I've 153 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: got to get to work or how long will it be? 154 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 1: Or I'm gonna call my boss? You know, quiet stay 155 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: here till we say so. I mean, I've had that 156 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: interaction with secrets there. I remember once one of them 157 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: told me to move to the left and I moved 158 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: to the left and he said your other left, And 159 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: I said, well, brilliant man, you said left, and that's 160 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: my left if you wanted your left. You know, but 161 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: this is the stuff you deal with the Secret Service. 162 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: Sometimes some of them are great. I'm not. I'm not 163 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: I'm saying, but I've had a few. But it's a 164 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: little bit like the Praetorian Guard telling you this is 165 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: the way it is. Can't get home too bad. We 166 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: need a six block perimeter for the president. You know, 167 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: we need to have a battalion's worth of agents and 168 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: police and everybody else around with machine guns and everything, 169 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: just in case it's absurd. What I mean really is 170 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: is are the North Koreans para dropping into Central Park 171 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: right now? Get out of here. It's out of control. 172 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: Anyone who's living in DC knows. And you sit there 173 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: and you realize, wow, so this is what really are 174 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: my rights here? Can the Secret Service tell me that 175 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: I can't cross the street, that I have to stand 176 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: on this corner for six hours, can't go to the bathroom, 177 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: can't do anything. I'm stuck here, I can't can I'm 178 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: I'm effectively under arrest because they say so. Now, some 179 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: of you may have had this experience before I have, 180 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: And you say, what really are the limitations of the 181 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: government's authority here? And you start to realize that there's 182 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: that part of you, that deeply human yearning for autonomy 183 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: and freedom and respect, And you say, hold on a second, 184 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: what is really the justification for this? Oh? Because you know, 185 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: the presidential the vice president or whoever it is, is 186 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: less safe by what me The former CIA officer who's 187 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: trying to get home through his apartment, who has no backpack, 188 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: no weapon, no nothing on him whatsoever. Like, what are 189 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: we really doing here? You got to ask yourself. But 190 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: we're all getting a little taste of that feeling right 191 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: now of stay where we tell you you didn't do 192 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: anything wrong, shut up and do what you're told. This 193 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: is this is now the argument that you're getting, especially 194 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: when oh the data, my friends, and I'm I'm not 195 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: going to forget all the journals running around. You just 196 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: want grandma to die. No, the data shows that social 197 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: distancing and basic precautions, of course helpful for preventing the 198 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: spread of COVID nineteen or any respiratory disease. Locking down, 199 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: staying at home, can't go to work, even with mask 200 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: and gloves on, even if you're young and healthy and 201 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: at low risk, school shut down. The data does not 202 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: show these to be good ideas. And you know what's 203 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: going to happen. The government is going to want to 204 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: just move past this as quickly as possible in some places, 205 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: and other places are going to double down even more 206 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: because the longer they extend the lockdown, the harder will 207 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: be to look at the data as we have it 208 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: right now and say, hold on a second, you guys 209 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: are doing exactly the right You're doing the wrong thing here. 210 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: We start to loosen, we start to open up a 211 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: little bit, and we see that there's no big spike 212 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: in cases. Well, why have we been doing this for 213 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: over a month? And I mean in New York, it's 214 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: really six weeks. You've been on de facto lockdown. But 215 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: if you ever have a question about what the government's 216 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: really like, just remember right now in New Jersey there's 217 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: law enforcement that are they're using drones, drones that I 218 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: believe are manufactured in China. So just put that in 219 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: your pipe and smoke it. You got drones being manufactured 220 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: and they're being used to spy on people in their 221 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: own backyards to see if they're engaging in sufficient social distancing. 222 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: If you had written this in some kind of dystopian 223 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: novel about the transition to an authoritarian technocratic society or 224 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: technology based society, if you had written that, people say, oh, 225 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 1: come on, an, we're already there. They're doing it, and 226 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,719 Speaker 1: then they're proud of it. Producer Mark, do we even 227 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: have the Do we have that clip? I sent it 228 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: to you last minute. It's all right if we don't 229 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: have it. No, Yeah, whatever. There's a clip of a 230 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: local newscaster in New Jersey here. I'll tell you I'm 231 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: just as good at it as a newscaster. Oh, look 232 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: at these drones that they're using to enforce social distancing. 233 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: Guess what that should put all of us on edge. 234 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: They're gonna send drones to spy on you in your 235 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: backyard to make sure you're not hanging out with what 236 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: too many family members? You've got twelve people in the backyard. 237 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: This is what they're really doing. We don't even know 238 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: how many people in New York and New Jersey have 239 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: been infected psyology testing. Here's what I can tell you 240 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: about zerology testing. We don't know the real numbers yet. 241 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: It's very hard, and you're trying to extrapolate out to 242 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: a much broader sample, a much broader size population than 243 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: what you're dealing with in the sample. But guess what 244 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: all serology testing, and I'll give you some of the 245 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: numbers on all of its shows that there are vast 246 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: numbers of people beyond the established cases who have been 247 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: exposed to and have COVID nineteen eighty bodies. It's at 248 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: least ten x, maybe more like fifty to seventy five 249 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: x the actual established cases in some places. So there 250 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: are a lot of people that are being told stay 251 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: home who have effectively they don't know it, yet have 252 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: effectively zero risk of getting or spreading this disease, unless 253 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: it turns out you can't be immune from it even 254 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: if you get it. And if that's the case, my friends, 255 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: we got big problems. But I don't think that's that 256 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: would be specific to this respiratory infection, and why would 257 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: that be Why would that be the case, unless, of 258 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: course somebody was tinkering with us somewhere in the lab. 259 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: But that's a conversation for another time, and I do 260 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: mean that we will have that conversation another time. We 261 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: limit government authority, regardless of how benevolent they think their 262 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: intentions are. We maintain individual autonomy, We maintain our freedoms 263 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: on our right to choose how we live our day 264 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: to day lives, not you know, infringing on other people, 265 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: not stealing their stuff, not hurting them. But what we 266 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: see here is that the government that's not sufficient do 267 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: as we say, based on faulty data, based on panic 268 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: because the liberal journal establishment, the Democratic Party, and yes, 269 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: much of the Republican Party got dragged into a moment 270 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: of political panic, and so all the rest of us 271 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: were told stay home, do as we say, or else. Sorry, 272 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: you don't have a paycheck, We'll get you a paycheck. Oh, 273 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: we can't get you the paycheck because we're too stupid 274 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: to shovel as the government. We're too stupid to shovel 275 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: your own money out of a helicopter fast enough to 276 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: you after we've told you you can't work. Welcome to government, 277 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: my friends. It's always been this way. We're just seeing 278 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: once again why this will never change. It's a lesson 279 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: that we keep forgetting, and we are learning it once again. 280 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex 281 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: and Show Podcast. New Yorkers. You have been extraordinary at 282 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: social distancing, and let me tell you, it has taken 283 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: every fiber of our beings to figure out how to 284 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: do this. Because we're warm, emotional people. We're used to 285 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: being close to each other, we're used to being packed 286 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: into subway cars, and we've had to do the exact 287 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: opposite and figure out how to keep distance. It's not 288 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: natural for us, it's not normal for us, but done it. 289 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: You've done an amazing job. Now, look, thank you everyone 290 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: who's done it the right way, but we still know 291 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: there's some people need to get the message, and that 292 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: means sometimes making sure the enforcement is there to educate 293 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: people and make clear we've got to have social distancing. 294 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: So now it is easier than ever. When you see 295 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: a crowd, when you see a line that's not distanced, 296 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: when you see a supermarket that's too crowded, anything, you 297 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: can report it right away so we can get help 298 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: there to fix the problem. And now it's as simple 299 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: as taking a photo. The Stazi. We're famous in East 300 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: Germany for having informants everywhere. In fact, this was also 301 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: true in the Soviet Union. But the Stasi really applied 302 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: German Prussian efficiency to the process of miking up, putting 303 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: a microphone in every room in every home in society, 304 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: and turning everyone into an informant. And in fact, there 305 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: was a hero within the Soviet Union. I forget his name. 306 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: Now some of you will be tweeting an app or 307 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: texting me I'm sure, or sending me messages in a 308 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: moment about it. But who was a hero held up 309 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: as a boy who ranted on his parents to the 310 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: secret police in the Soviet Union. You know what a 311 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: great hero that was. Now I understand that this is 312 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: unlike the Stazi and the secret police and the KGB 313 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: and all the rest of it, in that no one's 314 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: going to get a photo taken of them social distance, 315 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: lacking the proper social distance outside of a grocery store, 316 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: and be locked up for a long time. But businesses 317 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: are already under tremendous pressure. People are under a lot 318 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: of pressure right now, and we're gonna encourage one another 319 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: to take photos and snitch. Here's the problem. You know 320 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: Garcetti in La you know there's that whole Snitches get 321 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: Stitches a campaign which was bad, which was about people 322 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,959 Speaker 1: not speaking out and telling the cops when someone commits 323 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: a crime. Well, Garcetti has a sort of snitches get 324 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: riches campaign where if you snitch on somebody for not 325 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: social distance or for a business being open, you get money, 326 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: you get a reward, a bounty system in place. There 327 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: are so many problems I have with this, my friends. 328 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: And as I was saying before, it's a reminder that 329 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: government always overreaches if you let it, that government always 330 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: wants more power and more authority. The people in charge 331 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: think they're smarter and wiser and better than they are. 332 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: That's just the nature of government. That's why our government 333 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: is built on restraining power. But the things that we're 334 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: being told to do, now, some of them, I'm seeing 335 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: people running all over New York jogging, I mean running, 336 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: jogging with faces masks on. This is crazy. You don't 337 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: need to jog with a face mask on. You're not 338 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: going to infect anyone when you're jogging because you can 339 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: maintain more than six feet of distance if you're jogging 340 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: and they're all walking.

This is 344 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: about a thing that hit our country, the likes of 345 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: which has never happened to us before. It shouldn't be 346 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: about democrat a Republican, but we know that the left 347 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: has already made it. So we know that they are 348 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: already doing everything they can to make sure that Donald 349 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: Trump is not president again because of this crisis that 350 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: he has blamed for, this crisis that it's viewed as 351 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: being his fault. It's on him Nancy Pelosi. I mean, 352 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: if you're wondering, am I am I exaggerating us? And 353 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: oh we'll get to Pelosi. Let them eat cake Pelosi, 354 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: or let them eat artisan ice cream. We'll get to her. 355 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: And just a little bit later on in the show 356 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: again on how little she seems to care about the 357 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: destruction that the delay, that she is the she is 358 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 1: the person, she is responsible for what that's doing to people. 359 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: But here she is saying that this is really that 360 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: the virus is. You know, you hear people say stuff 361 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: like this, and then when I'll say, you know, on 362 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: Twitter or somewhere, I'll be like, hey, you know, Democrats, 363 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: stop saying it's Trump's fault. Is it who says it's 364 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: Trump's fault? I mean, basically the gay facto ahead of 365 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party Nancy Pelosi, play clip nineteen. The second 366 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: bill was mask, Mask, Mask, and trying to facilitate the 367 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: personal protective equipment that we don't really have as much 368 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: as we need it when we needed it because the 369 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: President wouldn't do Defense Production Act. So the situation we're 370 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: in is largely of his making calling it a hoax, 371 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: saying would magically disappear, not calling upon the Defense Production 372 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: Act to protect the workers who are trying to save 373 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: lives as they risk their own lives in doing so. 374 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: Pelosi doesn't give a crap about workers. She doesn't. If 375 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: she did, how could she explain what she's doing right now, 376 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: holding up money to get people able to pay to 377 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: pay their workers so that payroll can continue to be 378 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: a source of support for millions of workers and their 379 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: families and the businesses that depend on them spending money. 380 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: You know, no one's really thinking about the second and 381 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,959 Speaker 1: third order effects of this shutdown right now. I mean, 382 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: a few people that I come across are, but for 383 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: the most part, my friends, good gosh, do you realize 384 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: how many businesses that exist that employ tens of thousands, 385 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people are They're not coming back 386 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: for perhaps years, if ever, I'm not just talking about 387 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: small businesses. What does anyone really think that the tourism 388 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: industry and the Caribbean is going to be in good shape? 389 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: Think of how many islands. I know this is that 390 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: we're not talking about generally American American territory here, but 391 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: think of how many people in the Caribbean, or how 392 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: many people on US soil that work in tourism industry 393 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: places down and you know South Beach in Miami and Etta, 394 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: what's going to happen to them? The hotels are empty. 395 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: That means that means that there's no money to pay, 396 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: you know, the maids, the servers, the staff, the chefs, 397 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: the bellhops, you name it, nobody no money. But but 398 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: Pelosi thinks the problem is that is Donald Trump. He's 399 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: trying to get money to them as fast as possible. Look, 400 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: I think the problem is and I know that would 401 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 1: have it would have been the pressure they created on 402 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: this one. Now they finally had it. They finally had 403 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: the moment where they were able to get Trump to 404 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: go against his instincts. It's the truth. Trump wanted to 405 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: open start. I should say Trump wanted to allow the country. 406 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: Let's be very specific here so that people can't twist 407 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Oh they'll do it anyway, jerks. But 408 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: Trump wanted to allow states to start moving toward greater 409 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: economic normalcy on Easter Sunday, remember that's what he said, 410 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: they were moving. That he should have that was the 411 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: right move. That would have been the right move. But 412 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you know, he would have been you know, 413 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: throwing Grahama off the rooftop. If he had done that, 414 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: I mean people would have just the media and the 415 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: Democrats and look, his own experts, his own public health experts, 416 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: who have just have been just wrong, wrong and wrong 417 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: again on this one. Gee, thanks so much. You know, 418 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: this is a bit a bit like when I was 419 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: in the CIA and we had to deal with the 420 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: reality of you know, we missed, we missed nine to eleven, 421 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: and then afterwards, I mean I wasn't there when that happens. 422 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: I can't blame me, but you know, we missed nine eleven, 423 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: and then afterwards we're being asked to make all these 424 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: assessments and calls about things like WMD we missed that 425 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: one too. At what point? At what point do people 426 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: have a right to say, I'm not sure that you 427 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: guys really know what you're doing. I'm not sure you're 428 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: really good at judgment or making calls. Maybe you're good 429 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: at providing basic information. Great, we've gotten that from our 430 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: healthcare the healthcare policy people. Remember I'm always separating out 431 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: frontline healthcare workers who are who are saving lives and 432 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: against the disease for individuals who desperately needed and that's fantastic, 433 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: and that's why I'm screaming and cheering out my window 434 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: every day. And then that the healthcare policy people who 435 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: are the ones making determinations that affect the economy, that 436 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: affect our lives, that affect the Bill of Rights and 437 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: individual freedom and rights and federalism, and you know, those 438 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: people at dad level not impressed. Folks not impressed. And 439 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: I've seen so many conservatives that have just been like, 440 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: it's not the flu. Thanks, that's really helpful. We know 441 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: it's not the flu. What do we do about it? 442 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,959 Speaker 1: Hiding under the bed until the vaccine, which really for 443 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people started to feel like that that 444 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: was what they wanted. That's insane. We can't do that. 445 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: The country's falling apart. Trump recognizes that Democrats. I look, 446 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: there are there are a high level Democrats, Pelosi among them. 447 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter how much pain the country goes through, as 448 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: long as Trump doesn't economic pain, as long as Trump 449 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: doesn't win, they'll just come in and say, see what 450 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,479 Speaker 1: he did you, we'll fix it all. We'll fix it all. 451 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. We'll make everything better. Just put 452 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: I mean, really, you know, here's the problem. With talking 453 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: about Biden, They're they're forcing us into some form of 454 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: rhetorical elder abuse here. You know, I've I've been around 455 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: relatives who have started to have dementia and have one case, 456 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: my great grandmother had really serious to mention. I remember, 457 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: I remember her being really scared when I'd be a 458 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: little kid to go visit her. I remember she didn't 459 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: know who I was. And I've seen all that, and 460 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: that's that's heartbreaking for anybody who's been around that and 461 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: seen that with any family member. But we're also in 462 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: this position where we're being told that somebody who clearly 463 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: fades in and out of that kind of you know, 464 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: he lacks a certain mental precision these days with Joe 465 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: Biden is supposed to be the person who is leading 466 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: this country at a very we'll be leading this country 467 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: relatively student at a very difficult time and making decisions 468 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: that impact all of our lives, and we're not allowed 469 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: to talk about that right where, you know that they're 470 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: putting us in a position where you have someone who 471 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: seems to be in the early stages of senility and 472 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: I really mean this, he really seems that way. But 473 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: you know, we don't want to we don't want to 474 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: be dismissive. We're rude about anybody who's dealing with that 475 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: actual problem the broader society. So it's almost like he 476 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: becomes a He's going to have the same victim protection 477 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: the Democrats use for so many other people. Right, he 478 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: gets to go out and talk about how great he 479 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: be in the government, how the lecture all of us 480 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: about Trump is horrible. And if you say, hold on 481 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: a second, this guy seems like he's in the early 482 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: stages of having one too many senior moments, we could 483 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: call it. Then then a lot of other people are 484 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: gonna the Democrats are gonna trun and say to us, 485 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: how dare you look at what you're saying? Do you 486 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: not respect our seniors? Said no, I just you know. 487 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: I mean, if it's amazing people will get up into 488 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: their nineties and have led these incredibly full and amazing lives, 489 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: that's great, and we should honor them and cherish them. 490 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: I don't think we should make somebody who's ninety five president, 491 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: for example, and I know Biden's not ninety five, but 492 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna be basically eighty. I don't think we should 493 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: make somebody who's eighty the president. I even think Trump 494 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: is bored aline on the age thing, but he's just 495 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: he's some kind of I don't know. I mean, the 496 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: guy's got an inhuman level of energy and vitality and 497 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 1: health for someone his age. I've never I've never never 498 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: seen Trump once, you know, Okay, I know I feel 499 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: like it's too tire, he's out of it, or he 500 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: gets unbelievable. I mean I feel that way sometimes I'm 501 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: thirty Oh gosh, thirty eight almost forgot. But all right now, 502 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: the Pelosi politicization effect here and what we're all going 503 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: through as a result of this, my friends, The claims 504 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: the Democrats are making here, they're gonna run out pretty 505 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: soon of excuses that people can believe in good faith, 506 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: and it will just become clear that they want to 507 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: pile everything they can on the president, even though the 508 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: states are primarily going to be making these decisions. This 509 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 1: is where you're going to hear a lot about testing, 510 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: the lines about testing, you know, Nancy Pelosi at a 511 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: test test testing, You're gonna keep hearing people talk about this, well, 512 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: what's an acceptable level of testing? And understand this too, 513 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: that that whole system and this was coming from doctor Burkes, 514 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: who's a long time public health policy person whom I've 515 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: got to say, based in the briefings, I have more 516 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: confidence in her than I do in Fauci at this point. 517 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm sure they would say they agree on everything, 518 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: but she just seems a little bit more squared away, 519 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: they mean, than Faucci. Sometimes. She said that, look, we've 520 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: completely changed the Trump administration has completely changed the ability 521 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: to look for look for disease through the mechanisms in 522 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: the testing system that we have. And here's what she's 523 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: saying about that play fifteen. So first, I just want 524 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: to remind everyone that four weeks ago we were working 525 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: off of the pandemic platform that had been developed for 526 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: pandemic FLUS, and we realized, and the President realized, that 527 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: we had to change completely how we were doing testing. 528 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: And that's why we brought in the diagnostic companies that 529 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: really work on novel tests, and brought in the large 530 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: commercial labs. And I think you could see from the 531 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: diagrams yesterday that almost sixty percent of the test to 532 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: date have been done by these large commercial labs. But 533 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: we've also put out an additional seven platforms for additional 534 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: tests to make it possible for hospitals to tests and 535 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: clinics to test. So they've done a lot on this front, 536 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: and I understand that there's this focus now on we 537 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: can't really reopen until we have all the testing in place, 538 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: to which I just say, we're talking about we don't 539 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: know how far this has already spread, and we don't 540 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: know how really how long the incubation period is, especially 541 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: for people who are asymptomatic entirely. I'll get into the 542 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: purology test that I've already been done that show there 543 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: are a lot of people that have this disease or 544 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: have had this disease, have no idea, they feel fine. 545 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you right now, if you were 546 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: to ask me, if you were to say, Buck, do 547 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: you think you have antibodies to this? And I'm going 548 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: to get the test as soon as I can, do 549 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: you think you have antibodies to this? Would I would 550 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: bet money that I do at this point, given how 551 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: much time I've spent on the subway and been around 552 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: people and been in places where I know there have 553 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: been people who are one or two individuals removed from 554 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: my immediate vicinity who had COVID nineteen. So yes, I 555 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: think I probably Now I don't know. I'm just I'm 556 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: taking a guess here, but my gut tells me that 557 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: I think I've probably had this. We're being told that 558 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: testing is the key, but keep in mind they don't 559 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: testing to what degree the numbers. The details here matters, 560 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: and that's why you've got Governor Ralph. I'm not sure 561 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: if I was the one in the clan robe or 562 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: in the black face Northam. Remember Democrat, folks. His excuse 563 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: here is, I don't know if it was me in 564 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: the clan robe or me in the black face. But 565 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: you know, I get to still be governor of Virginia, 566 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: a state that certainly has a history that would you'd 567 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: understand there'd be a bit of elevated sensitivity about issues 568 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: of race. But if you're a Democrat, you get a pass. 569 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: Get a pass. He certainly got well. But here's what 570 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: he says about testing plate too. The President and Vice 571 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: President is saying over the past few days that the 572 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: US has enough testing capacity for states to begin opening 573 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: back up. If you feel you're ready to go into 574 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,719 Speaker 1: Phase one. Is at the case in Virginia, do you 575 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: have enough tests to do the tests you need to do. Jack, 576 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: that's just delusional to be making statements like that. We 577 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: have been fighting every day for PPE and we've got 578 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: some supplies now coming in. We've been fighting for testing. 579 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: It's a it's not a straightforward test. We don't even 580 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: have enough swabs, believe it or not, and we're ramping 581 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: that up. But for the national level to say that 582 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: we have what we need and to have no guidance 583 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: to the state levels, it's just irresponsible because we're not 584 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: there yet. Now. This guy, you know, he is an MD, 585 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: which is also noteworthy, especially given what he says about 586 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: what happens to a baby that survives an abortion, which 587 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: we all heard him on radio, but we'll talk about 588 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: that some other time. There's no such thing as enough 589 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: testing for the Democrats, because this is going to be. 590 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: What they're claiming now is that it's impossible for states, 591 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: because a supply chain and other issues, to handle testing 592 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: on their own. So any shortfall in testing is the 593 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: federal government's fault, which means that it's Trump's fault, which 594 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: means that in any state that there's any continuation not 595 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: even have to be a spike, a continuation of COVID 596 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: nineteen infections and deaths. It's Trump's fault because of the 597 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: lack of testing that states couldn't handle, and they were 598 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: begging the federal government for it. That is the political attack. 599 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: That's what they're going to do, even though what's enough testing? 600 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: Nobody has the answer. You're in the freedom hunt. This 601 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: is the Sexton Show podcast right now. Donald Trump is 602 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: not doing anything to help my city back on its feet. 603 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: How am I going to pay for basic services? How 604 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: am I going to pay for first responders? How am 605 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: I going to have a restart of my economy if 606 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: my city's going broke? And I know it's happening all 607 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: over the country. You're hearing mayors Republican and Democrat, talked 608 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: to them saying, we're not going to be able to 609 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: make it if we don't get help from the federal 610 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: government because we've just seen a hit on our budgets, 611 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: a hit on our cities, a hit on our people 612 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: that was unestimable, and Donald Trump is silent. Wait a second, 613 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,719 Speaker 1: you mean that last week it was governors and mayors 614 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: to some extent, But governors have all the power. Trump 615 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: has none of the power. Now it's oh my gosh, 616 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: we're all in a sinking ship. We need the federal 617 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: government to give us lots of money. Well, I've got 618 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: to say, you know, maybe it would be useful for 619 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: the states to actually have to live within their budgets 620 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: and live with the realities of what they decided to 621 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: do in different places. I'm not saying there shouldn't be 622 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: any rescue funds, there shouldn't be any help from the 623 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: federal government, but it is worth taking a step back 624 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: to say, well, why why wouldn't a state continue the 625 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: lockdown as long as possible, keeping them keep the lockdown 626 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: for ninety days, one hundred and twenty days the federal 627 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 1: and then just turn around into the federal government. You know, money, please, 628 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: we want money. We're gonna pay all the people. Well, 629 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,879 Speaker 1: the problem this is, and we're gonna talk about the 630 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: paycheck Protection program, which so far, my friends, I know, 631 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: you know, look, I'm going to always tell you the truth. 632 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,240 Speaker 1: I know the Trump administrations running the paycheck protection program 633 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 1: with Congress. Remember Congress appropriates the fund that Trump is 634 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: the Trump Administration's putting it out there. So far, it's 635 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: a massive it's a it's a massively insufficient it's not 636 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: a failure. It is a massively insufficient program, which is 637 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: clear because they need two hundred fifty billion more dollars 638 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty billion more. To Deblasio's point, you 639 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: know what states in localities one now a five hundred 640 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: billion dollar bailout fund. My friends, we are going to 641 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: spend six trillion, eight trillion who knows, to try to 642 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: get us out of this hole. We can't do this, 643 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't work. We are putting. By doing this stuff, 644 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: you're pushing closer and closer to that cliff, at which 645 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: point there is a collapse of our financial system because 646 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: the debt that we've accrued is completely unsustainable and people panic. 647 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: So we have a virus panic that could be followed 648 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: by the financial panic unless we start getting a handle 649 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: and all this stuff, and we can't just have the 650 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: federal government writing endless checks for everything. Thanks for listening 651 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 1: to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts.

Well, 653 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: what it would do is something that we've been requesting 654 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: for the last two weeks, more funding for the small 655 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: business program. This business program has worked very well, more 656 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: than one point six million businesses requested the money to 657 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,320 Speaker 1: pay their employees to pay their rent. Unfortunately, Nancy Pelosi 658 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: has held that up for the last two weeks. We 659 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: have watched and the one question I have watching her 660 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 1: on Sunday Show named me one productive thing speaker Pelosi 661 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: has accomplished in this pandemic. When President Trump in January 662 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: thirty first put in the band from China, February twenty fourth, 663 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: she asked people to gather together in San Francisco, she 664 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: actually fought the band. When we wanted to put the 665 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: Cares Act together, she came in held it up. Now 666 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: we had a small business program working, She's now held 667 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,879 Speaker 1: up the money. There's seven hundred thousand small business applications 668 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: in right now trying to keep their doors open. Last 669 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 1: week we watch five million people new numbers for unemployment. 670 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: How many more millions of Pelosi's layoffs will we have 671 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: to endure before She'll put people before politics even at 672 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: this moment to get this agreement. We could have been 673 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,959 Speaker 1: done yesterday, but the Democrats continue to hold up even 674 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: though we have agreed to all the numbers. Okay, let's 675 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 1: keep it real. Nancy Pelosi is a disaster. We know 676 00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: that unethical, disgraceful, a liar, you know, just just your 677 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 1: adjective that it's all true. Nancy Pelosi is the worst. 678 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 1: She's the worst. I don't say that that every Democrat. 679 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: There's some Democrats that aren't the worst. Nancy Pelosi is 680 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,280 Speaker 1: the worst, all right. Now, she has made this whole 681 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: process of getting money to people who remember, this is 682 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,479 Speaker 1: not a free market thing. This is the government says 683 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: you are not allowed to work anymore. You are not 684 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: allowed to and we and the government then is stepping 685 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 1: in to say we will essentially float your money because 686 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: it's the money of we, the American people to you. 687 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: You know, this is like getting an advance from your 688 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 1: employer almost, right, Well, we'll put money in your hands 689 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,479 Speaker 1: because we're the ones telling you can't work. Right, that's 690 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: on them. There are millions of people who would have 691 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,879 Speaker 1: continued to do their jobs in states that have very 692 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: small COVID nineteen problems if it weren't for the lockdown order. Right, 693 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:50,800 Speaker 1: so we've already established that Pelosi is a disaster. Pelosi 694 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: cannot be trusted on any of this, even when people 695 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: are really suffering enormously. You know, she's too busy talking 696 00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: about you know, test t test take testing. This is 697 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 1: a big thing, play eleven. So we're way late on it, 698 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 1: and that is a failure. The president gets an f 699 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: a failure on the testing, but fauci, if it is 700 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: done profitly, it hasn't been And I think when they 701 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: puts it in if it's done, is an admission that 702 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: it hasn't been done. You know where the big failure 703 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: was in testing the CDC, That's where the failure was. 704 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: Initially they had a crap test that didn't work that 705 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: they sent out all over the place. That really hurt 706 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: getting you know, early information about how fast of our spreading. 707 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: But you know, Pelosi's going to blame the president. Of 708 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: course she does. She always does. That's that's really herr. 709 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: Her goals are just to undermine what is all that 710 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: is good and decent and worthwhile in the Republic at 711 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: every opportunity, and she excels at that. Oh she also 712 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: wants to tell you that she didn't give you bad advice, 713 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: you the American people bad advice by saying, yeah, if're 714 00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: in the San Francisco area, make sure you go to 715 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: that Chinese These lunar new year's celebration. A great place 716 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 1: to hang out, right, and let's say early February, great stuff, 717 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: great place to be. Why did Pelosi do that? Play ten? 718 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 1: If the President underplayed the threat in the early days, 719 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,399 Speaker 1: Speaker Pelosi, didn't you as well? Know what we're trying 720 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: to do is to end the discrimination, the stigma that 721 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: was going out against the Asian American community. And in fact, 722 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: if you will look the recordable show that our Chinatown 723 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: has been a model of containing and presenting the virus. 724 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: So I'm confidence in our folks there and thought it 725 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,360 Speaker 1: was necessary to offset some of the things that the 726 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: President and others were saying about Asian Americans and making 727 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 1: them a target, a target of violence across the country. 728 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: And Seid, that's forgive me, don't you think. Don't you 729 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: think that when you're out walking without any mass I 730 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: understand this is February, not April when this happened, and 731 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: saying that there's no threat, it's perfectly safe there. Weren't 732 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: you also adding to this perception that there wasn't such 733 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,320 Speaker 1: a threat generally, No, I was saying that you should 734 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: not discriminate against, discriminate against Chinese Americans, as some in 735 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: our administration. We're doing by the way they were labeling 736 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,879 Speaker 1: the flu and that no. Indeed, and again I think 737 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: you if you check the record and as current, you 738 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,879 Speaker 1: will see that Chinatown has been a model in all 739 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:34,240 Speaker 1: of this. Huh interesting, isn't it? Nancy Pelos just blather? 740 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:42,439 Speaker 1: But what he did pace you know it? Yeah? Look, Hey, 741 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: credit works due Chris Wallace asking asking a real question 742 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: and pushing on it. I know sometimes he annoys conservatives, 743 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: but he does ask real questions. And you know, Pelosi's 744 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 1: response here is just blather. It's because of the discrimination, okay, 745 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: because you were worrying about discrimination. You basically were the 746 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: mayor in Jaws ringing the dinner bell at the beach. 747 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,280 Speaker 1: Remember that, you know, Oh we'll be open fourth of July. 748 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: That was Nancy Pelosi. Yeah, go to Chinatown. It's great. 749 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,319 Speaker 1: Hang out there during lunar New Year's celebration. Don't worry 750 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: about all the people that have come in from Wuhan, 751 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 1: No concern there. Who Democrat leader third in line for 752 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,839 Speaker 1: the presidency. Just remember that most powerful Democrat in our 753 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,439 Speaker 1: elected system in the country right now, Nancy Pelosi. Oh, 754 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,399 Speaker 1: but they do a better job running things, Okay, Now 755 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: that I've established that, Nancy Pelosi just still work. Clear, 756 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi is making this worse for people. She is 757 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: hurting workers, she is hurting the people that need the 758 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: money the most. And that's beyond any doubt, any dispute. 759 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 1: Now that we've established that, we can also talk about 760 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: how this paycheck protection program not enough, not even close, 761 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: and it look I understand right another sensitivity. I don't 762 00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 1: you know this. I'm a supporter of the administration. I'm 763 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 1: open about it. Isn't nice that I get to be 764 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: honest about this. I'm a supporter of President Trump and 765 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: his agenda, but I also have to be honest where 766 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: when there's criticism, that's necessary. And I know that we're 767 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: an extremist right now and things are tough. But the 768 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: program that they designed is being abused, it's being exploited, 769 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: and it's not enough money, not even close, and it's 770 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 1: not confidence inspiring. When by some estimates, I'm seeing five 771 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 1: percent of businesses got money, ninety five percent of those 772 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 1: that applied did not get money. How is it that 773 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: a program that's supposed to last ten weeks, within the 774 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: first two weeks has a two hundred and fifty billion 775 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: dollars shortfall. Do they have absolutely no My friends, look, 776 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 1: these are the numbers. This is reality. Did they have 777 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: no idea how many people were really going to be 778 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,760 Speaker 1: unemployed and also how expensive that labor would be, because 779 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: this is all meant to keep people at their previous 780 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: level of pay by giving different You show your payroll, 781 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,359 Speaker 1: and I spoke to a friend over the weekend who's 782 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 1: going through this exact process. You show your payroll the government. 783 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 1: The government says, here's a check for your payroll for 784 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: the next ten weeks. Company after company did not get 785 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 1: that money, and that's not something that you can just 786 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: keep delaying. They're going to let people go, and those 787 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,799 Speaker 1: individuals then will be at they'll be off payroll. There 788 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 1: are investors, there are owners that could pull their money 789 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,400 Speaker 1: from these ventures. You know, if you're trying to do 790 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: a startup, if you're trying to raise money, what happens 791 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: now you're missing payroll? Do you think investors are going 792 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: to say, yeah, we know times are tough, let's throw 793 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 1: more cash to you. While you're running running in the 794 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,919 Speaker 1: red here can't buy product either. Businesses that don't don't 795 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: have money, they if they're giving the money to their payroll. 796 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,240 Speaker 1: For example, they can't buy product even if they could 797 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 1: stay in business at some level. So what are you? 798 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: What are you left with here? How the government have 799 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: gotten this so wrong? I think we need to ask 800 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 1: the question. I think we need to understand. The numbers 801 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 1: on this are are not good. The way that this 802 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: has worked out so far is not confidence inspiring at all. 803 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you know shake Shack, which does make a 804 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: great burger, but it's a big chain. Now they've got 805 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: him in Vegas and New York. I think they got 806 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 1: them all over the country. They got him in d C. 807 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: I think all over the place. Shake Shack got ten 808 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 1: million dollars from the coronavirus stimulus funding. This is supposed 809 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,880 Speaker 1: to be for payroll, right, shake Shack got ten million dollars. 810 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:45,319 Speaker 1: They had to return it. You know why because two 811 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 1: days two days after rather two days after they got 812 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:49,920 Speaker 1: that money, they had to return it. Because they raised 813 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million dollars in equity Harvard University. 814 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:58,720 Speaker 1: This one's particularly well known right now, forty billion dollar endowment. 815 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,799 Speaker 1: Harvard University got nine million dollars. And now people say buck, 816 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 1: they've employees too, Yeah, don't you think that they should 817 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: probably be able to weather the storm with their forty 818 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,520 Speaker 1: billion with a b dollar endowmin they really need nine 819 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:16,439 Speaker 1: million dollars in emergency cash funding. No, because the whole, look, 820 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: the whole higher education system has largely become these universities 821 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,240 Speaker 1: are hedge funds and influenced peddling schemes where people also 822 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 1: take classes. It's really not about making people the leaders 823 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 1: of the future and educated them in the way that 824 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 1: you know, we'll make for a better society, that's all. 825 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 1: It's just all branding and money and access the elite 826 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:42,279 Speaker 1: institutions in this country. Now, that's really the whole thing 827 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 1: is a house of cards. It's beginning to fall apart too. 828 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 1: You know how many dumbasses I know who went to 829 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 1: Harvard and Yale, More more than I could even say. 830 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 1: I could just start naming people, be like this guy 831 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 1: dumbass didn't do any of his life, This guy jerk 832 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 1: didn't do anything. Tons of them, Now, a lot of 833 00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 1: them had, you know, Mommy and Daddy gave money or 834 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 1: went there. You know, legacy stuff is a big part 835 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 1: of all this. But this this notion that you know, 836 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 1: if you go to one of these schools, like Harvard 837 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 1: in particular, and somehow I know people say to be 838 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 1: oh bunk, you know, but you know this is this 839 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,279 Speaker 1: is a sour grapes thing. I mean, I could have 840 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 1: gone an ivy League business school. I didn't go because 841 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,919 Speaker 1: I didn't think it was worth it. So them's the facts. 842 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,880 Speaker 1: Actually could have gone a couple of IV League business schools. 843 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 1: Humble bregg who cares doesn't mean anything. All in them 844 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 1: was I figured out how to play that system one 845 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: enough to be one of the people chosen to take 846 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: out a quarter of a million dollars in education loans 847 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,760 Speaker 1: beyond college. Right, But Harvard's got a forty billion dollar 848 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 1: endowment and they want money. The small business, I mean, 849 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 1: the numbers on this are staggering. The Small Business Administration 850 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,800 Speaker 1: gave one point six million dollar one point six million loans, 851 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,880 Speaker 1: rather not dollars one point six million loans through the 852 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 1: paycheck Protection Program. There are thirty point seven million small 853 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: businesses in America, according to the Small Business Association, so 854 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,839 Speaker 1: five point four percent received funds before the program ran 855 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 1: out of money last week, ninety five percent ninety four 856 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: point six percent received nothing. This is what a government 857 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:17,239 Speaker 1: rescue looks like. The connected the big fish, they eat 858 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 1: all the fish food before it gets down to the 859 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 1: bottom of the tank. The little fish that you're trying 860 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 1: to help, No fish food for them. That's what's happened. 861 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 1: And Nancy Pelosi is saying, no more food for anybody 862 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,400 Speaker 1: right now until I get what I want. That's what 863 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:35,560 Speaker 1: she's doing. The numbers don't lie, my friends. Ruth's Chris 864 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 1: has eighty six million dollars. Now, look, their stakes are excellent. 865 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 1: And then I understand the employee people, but this is 866 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:46,360 Speaker 1: emergency funding. Eighty six million dollars in the bank and 867 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 1: they receive twenty million dollars in the PPP fund intended 868 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 1: to help small businesses. It's a publicly traded company that 869 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 1: has almost one hundred million dollars in the bank and 870 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 1: they get twenty million dollars. I know people who have 871 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 1: zero in the bank, none, and they're businesses that are 872 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,280 Speaker 1: making money, but they're they're turned off. All their businesses 873 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,360 Speaker 1: have been crushed in the last two months. No money 874 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 1: in the bank for payroll. You know what happens to them. Sorry, 875 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,319 Speaker 1: government doesn't have any checks for you, my friends. It's 876 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 1: not acceptable, it's not okay, and it's a reminder of 877 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 1: what I started out the show with, which is that 878 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,320 Speaker 1: the government is not your friend. It's not going to 879 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: keep you safe and warm at night. That's what the 880 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:29,239 Speaker 1: freedom hund is for. You're in the freedom hunt. This 881 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right. To continue 882 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 1: our conversation about how small businesses are getting the short 883 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: end of the stick right now, we have Will Ricardella 884 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,320 Speaker 1: with us right now. He is from the Washington Examiner, 885 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,360 Speaker 1: where he's an editor. He's following this very closely, and 886 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:49,960 Speaker 1: we're going back and forth all the time trying to 887 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 1: update each other. Will. Great to have you on the 888 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 1: show first time. Thanks for having me on book. All right, man, 889 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,120 Speaker 1: So I was telling everybody that five percent of small 890 00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,120 Speaker 1: businesses so far i've gotten cash. What are you seeing 891 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:01,680 Speaker 1: at the national level? And also then I want you 892 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,080 Speaker 1: to tell us about businesses that you just know personally. 893 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 1: What are they dealing with right now? Well, at the 894 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,720 Speaker 1: national level, people aren't getting the PPP, they're not getting 895 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: the stop gap. They ran out of money pretty quickly. 896 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 1: Most a lot of the money was deferred towards unemployment insurance. 897 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,480 Speaker 1: People are guaranteed six hundred dollars a week. Employees who 898 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,479 Speaker 1: are laid off, and it's the wealth creators who seem 899 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,600 Speaker 1: to be getting the short end of this stick. I 900 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 1: know this. My family has businesses in New York, their restaurants. 901 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,400 Speaker 1: My uncle was unable to get any of the funds 902 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,640 Speaker 1: for the PPP. Most of his workers have left and 903 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,920 Speaker 1: unemployment insurance because they get into extra six hundred dollars. 904 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: They don't even want to stay in the payroll anyway. Well, 905 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 1: that's remarkable. Explain that, like, why why would they rather? 906 00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,200 Speaker 1: How is the incentive structure set up so that they'd 907 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:48,239 Speaker 1: rather not be on payroll? Because if you sign up 908 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,560 Speaker 1: for unemployment insurance, not only do you get the unemployment 909 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 1: insurance that the state gives you from the federal bill, 910 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,680 Speaker 1: you get an extra six hundred dollar bonus. This is 911 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 1: per week. So why would you stay on the payrolls? 912 00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,280 Speaker 1: It's now you know this is for a four month extension. 913 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:02,960 Speaker 1: So let's say you know, you try to open up. 914 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 1: Now you're not going to get your workers back for 915 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 1: four months. How do you even open How do you 916 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,920 Speaker 1: transition into a period where you can give people service. 917 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 1: That's not to mention that people are already terrified. They're 918 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,400 Speaker 1: not going to go into a restaurant. What are we 919 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 1: to tell me this? What are you the family business here? 920 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 1: The restaurants you're talking about, Do they think they're going 921 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,839 Speaker 1: to be able to reopen this year? Oh boy, I don't. 922 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,120 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a discussion I don't think anybody wants 923 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,200 Speaker 1: to have at this point. That's certainly in the back 924 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,400 Speaker 1: of people's minds. It's terrifying. I mean, this is a business, 925 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,719 Speaker 1: you know. Look, you can extrapolate this into millions Americans. 926 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,320 Speaker 1: My family has been in business now for fifty six years. 927 00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 1: They're worried about losing them. This is a This is 928 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,359 Speaker 1: a biggest employer in the town and the area. It's 929 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,279 Speaker 1: outside of New York City. It serves people who come 930 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,239 Speaker 1: up from New York City or commute, you know, and 931 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,360 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of other jobs in the area. 932 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: So this is shifting a lot of people from payrolls 933 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,319 Speaker 1: onto government unemployment insurance. And when that runs out, what 934 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:57,719 Speaker 1: are people going to do if a lot of these 935 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 1: vaut creators are closed, where do people work? They're gonna 936 00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 1: have to stay on unemployment insurance? And what happens to 937 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,839 Speaker 1: the other expenses that for example, the restaurants. I mean 938 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,360 Speaker 1: to drill down to this for a second. What what 939 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,520 Speaker 1: happens to the other expenses, rent, and so on and 940 00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 1: so forth. Right, So if you have this, you know, 941 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 1: if you have the Cares Act and this PPP and 942 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:18,960 Speaker 1: that helps business owners stop the gap. It may not 943 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 1: do it entirely. It's not going to do it long enough, 944 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,759 Speaker 1: and you're not creating any wealth. The reason you have 945 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 1: this business is so you could pay yourself a salary too. 946 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 1: You know, if you're just making your utilities your rent, 947 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 1: what's the point of keeping it open if you have 948 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,319 Speaker 1: to dip into your own savings? What investments can you 949 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,120 Speaker 1: make in the future. So, look, this is killing businesses 950 00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,400 Speaker 1: in particular service industry. In a restaurant, who's gonna I 951 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:40,960 Speaker 1: don't know. You know, you're in New York City. I'm 952 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. I'm watching people dive off sidewalks 953 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:45,839 Speaker 1: when I walk past them. Do you think they're gonna 954 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:47,279 Speaker 1: want to go sit at a counter at a bar? 955 00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:52,239 Speaker 1: I see people jogging on empty streets, jogging like going 956 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,800 Speaker 1: pretty fast, you know, maybe like seven eight minute miles 957 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:59,399 Speaker 1: with or eight minute miles with face masks on. Right, 958 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, do you guys think it's gonna happen 959 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,640 Speaker 1: here if everyone else is walking, you know, you're like, 960 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:07,240 Speaker 1: you're like the speedboat. You can go around the cruise ships. 961 00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,800 Speaker 1: You're exactly right. So look, before they even had the 962 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,359 Speaker 1: institute of government lockdowns, people were already moving away from 963 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 1: going to restaurants. We had a lot less reservations. There's 964 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,400 Speaker 1: a lot less people coming in. It's going to be 965 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 1: a huge transition to get this to happen again. You're 966 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: gonna have to open up in phases or all at 967 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,080 Speaker 1: once now in order for people in order for this 968 00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,920 Speaker 1: to be over, perhaps by fall or winter. You'll have 969 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,399 Speaker 1: to open now before people feel confident to go out again. 970 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 1: There's been so much misinformation spread about this, and the 971 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,360 Speaker 1: government's kind of one size fits all approach helps the 972 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,120 Speaker 1: rich people, the people who have money who work from home, 973 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,120 Speaker 1: work remotely, but it doesn't help working class Americans who 974 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: can't afford to socially distance for two years, who can't 975 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,719 Speaker 1: afford to wear masks and stay away from everybody for 976 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,560 Speaker 1: a year. It just doesn't work for them. So that's 977 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,360 Speaker 1: why you have people protesting. They can't accept those costs. 978 00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,600 Speaker 1: Where you have the hoyty toyty folks in Manhattan and Washington, DC. 979 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,759 Speaker 1: They can where a mask and run off the sidewalk 980 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,239 Speaker 1: all day. But a majority of Americans can't do that. 981 00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,799 Speaker 1: They can't afford to. And how worried are you? Just 982 00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,919 Speaker 1: at that the macro level, we got about thirty forty 983 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 1: seconds left, but they're talking about now a five hundred 984 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 1: I think it's five hundred billion dollars bailout fund for 985 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,160 Speaker 1: states and cities. I'm getting the sense that people really 986 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 1: believe that the government can just write blank checks for everything. 987 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:24,839 Speaker 1: And it's fine. Well, yeah, so I have an economics background, right, 988 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,720 Speaker 1: you're writing out all this money, you're giving unemployment insurance 989 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 1: to people that aren't working, and you don't have wealth 990 00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,600 Speaker 1: creators creating wealth. I mean, so what happens. You'll have 991 00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,640 Speaker 1: massive inflation. People are spending money, it's not backed up 992 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,800 Speaker 1: by any discernible production, and you'll get somewhat of inflation 993 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 1: even on consumption spending. And look, you have some people 994 00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,239 Speaker 1: who are laid off or cutting into their savings. You're 995 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,520 Speaker 1: gonna will well, hold on, I want to actually let's 996 00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:46,960 Speaker 1: continue as the other side of the break for a minute. 997 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 1: Stay with me. We'll come back and get back into this. 998 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,920 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember 999 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple Podcasts. The iHeart range your past Ricardella, 1000 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 1: who is at the Washington Examiner. He's an editor there. 1001 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,640 Speaker 1: He's also a buddy of mine, and his family owns 1002 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,520 Speaker 1: businesses here in the New York area, and they're in 1003 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:10,160 Speaker 1: really tough shape right now, as any restaurant business would be, 1004 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 1: given that they're shut down because of government mandates. So well, 1005 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,520 Speaker 1: you're talking about the inflationary pressure. I mean, I just 1006 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:20,000 Speaker 1: feel like, you know, we undershot with PPP, undershot within 1007 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,520 Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks by at least two hundred 1008 00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,600 Speaker 1: and fifty billion, and I think they're just asking for 1009 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:26,680 Speaker 1: that with the idea that in another three or four 1010 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,279 Speaker 1: weeks they're gonna say we in another two hundred and 1011 00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:31,879 Speaker 1: fifty billion. We're on track here to spend at least 1012 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,760 Speaker 1: four feels like it's going to be six, maybe seven 1013 00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,279 Speaker 1: or eight trillion dollars really quickly, right, I mean in 1014 00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:38,920 Speaker 1: a matter of a few months. Yeah, I think I 1015 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:42,120 Speaker 1: think that's optimistic. I think it's more like ten trillion. Look, 1016 00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,759 Speaker 1: how you look, the government shut down these businesses, so 1017 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,920 Speaker 1: therefore they owe them some responsibility to stop the gap. 1018 00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,080 Speaker 1: And you know a lot of these businesses are going 1019 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:52,839 Speaker 1: to take it pay off their bills, but it doesn't 1020 00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,080 Speaker 1: leave much for them. A lot of their employees are 1021 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,759 Speaker 1: going on to unemployment insurance because it's more money they're 1022 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,439 Speaker 1: these people are dipping into their savings as well. They're 1023 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,799 Speaker 1: not gonna have any money to invest when things open up. 1024 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 1: They're not gonna my families outside of New York City. 1025 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 1: They depend on people who come up from New York City. 1026 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,000 Speaker 1: That's not going to happen for a long time. So 1027 00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,480 Speaker 1: there's going to be less savings, less investment. We're not 1028 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 1: going to hire everybody back. You can't raise your prices 1029 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 1: because there's not as much money out there. And let's 1030 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,520 Speaker 1: hope that inflations stays low, that you know, you don't 1031 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,400 Speaker 1: have these menu costs and so on where they have 1032 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,360 Speaker 1: to change their prices constantly. I don't look, there's so 1033 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 1: much uncertainty that businesses aren't going to invest like they 1034 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 1: used to. I don't see the economy coming back for 1035 00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,840 Speaker 1: a very long time. Twenty twenty one is optimistic. What 1036 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,279 Speaker 1: do you think should be done here? I mean the administration, 1037 00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,720 Speaker 1: I was telling everybody, Look, Pelosi is just a she's 1038 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 1: just what she's doing is monstrous here by by stopping 1039 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,319 Speaker 1: people from getting money that they need right now. And 1040 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,280 Speaker 1: it's all politics with her, and she's she's a disgusting 1041 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:52,440 Speaker 1: plutocrat and people should know that. But the administration, you know, 1042 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 1: they're they're not really able to do what they've said 1043 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,399 Speaker 1: they're able to do, which is a key people more 1044 00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,520 Speaker 1: or less with money in their pockets who were employed 1045 00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,200 Speaker 1: going for word, even though they've opened the money gun 1046 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,080 Speaker 1: in a way like we've never seen it before. So 1047 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:05,840 Speaker 1: what do you think they should be doing? Well? I 1048 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 1: think what happened first the problem was uncertainty. Right in 1049 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,719 Speaker 1: New York. It was you know, we're going to stem 1050 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:12,800 Speaker 1: the tide for thirty days. We'll open back up in 1051 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:16,239 Speaker 1: April fifteenth. Uncertainty hurt business. Now I think it's the certainty. 1052 00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,239 Speaker 1: At first you had a government saying, oh, we're gonna 1053 00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 1: flatten the curve, and then once that's over, you know 1054 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,600 Speaker 1: what I mean, we can reopen businesses. Now it's we're 1055 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:25,799 Speaker 1: gonna flatten the curve. The curve is flattened. Now we're 1056 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,600 Speaker 1: gonna have to do this until there's a vaccine or indefinitely, 1057 00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,920 Speaker 1: or you're gonna have to wear a mask for two years, 1058 00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 1: or they're not giving any option for people that're like, 1059 00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,040 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of epidemiologists saying, look, they're 1060 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,319 Speaker 1: only options hurt immunity. They're not saying, hey, let's let 1061 00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,520 Speaker 1: kids who have zero risk of this disease go back 1062 00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,799 Speaker 1: to school. Let's try, you know, let's try to go 1063 00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 1: back to regular life. Here, they're saying to businesses in general, 1064 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,000 Speaker 1: especially service industry, you can't have more than ten people 1065 00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,560 Speaker 1: in your business, and you know you're gonna have to 1066 00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,680 Speaker 1: stay six feet apart, and you're gonna have to wear 1067 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,920 Speaker 1: masks and so on. There's no way. Restaurants, well, I 1068 00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:57,279 Speaker 1: was about to say, I mean, when people say this, 1069 00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,360 Speaker 1: they obviously don't know any but the restaurant business, because 1070 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,920 Speaker 1: it's all it's all about turning tables relatively quickly, right, 1071 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,680 Speaker 1: and the more tables the better. How many people you 1072 00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,759 Speaker 1: can fit in your restaurant is paramount. For restaurants. Every 1073 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:10,919 Speaker 1: time you put somebody, every you put a button a seat, 1074 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,520 Speaker 1: that's money. If you're taking butts out of seats, you're 1075 00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,280 Speaker 1: taking money away from restaurants. They just can't stay open. 1076 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,160 Speaker 1: The bigger the restaurant, the less chance they have of 1077 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 1: staying open. So you know, these are things I don't 1078 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:22,960 Speaker 1: think people thought about it at first. It's much easier 1079 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,640 Speaker 1: to flip the switch off than it is to turn 1080 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 1: it back on. And I don't think any of that 1081 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:28,600 Speaker 1: what was given. I don't think they had any appropriate 1082 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,280 Speaker 1: data to begin with to justify this. And I think 1083 00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna see it's gonna be I hope I'm wrong, Buck, 1084 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:35,800 Speaker 1: I really do, but I don't think it's going to 1085 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,680 Speaker 1: be very good moving forward here the next six months 1086 00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,120 Speaker 1: to a year at least at least, Yeah, it just 1087 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 1: feels like the spending it either has negative ramifications for 1088 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,560 Speaker 1: the government to go deeper in debt than it has 1089 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:49,840 Speaker 1: ever been in a way that no one could have 1090 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,479 Speaker 1: ever even anticipated. Right, this is not even with a war. 1091 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,160 Speaker 1: You figure, well, at some point this thing will end, 1092 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:56,560 Speaker 1: and you know, there's a little bit of it. And 1093 00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,560 Speaker 1: also there's a lot of production that goes into a war, 1094 00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:00,480 Speaker 1: so you may go into depth. There's all so tremendous 1095 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,680 Speaker 1: amount of production and that's going on, and within your society, 1096 00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 1: we're going into debt with shutdown production, right, and but 1097 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,000 Speaker 1: people don't understand from an economic standpoint, as we have 1098 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 1: a four trillion dollar budget deficit this year, that's taxes. 1099 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 1: People understand, you know. I think I've saw Alexandria custumer 1100 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,080 Speaker 1: tests say, oh, the money you get from the PPP 1101 00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,040 Speaker 1: and the and you know, the stimulus checks, the twelve 1102 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,200 Speaker 1: hundred dollars, you don't have to pay back. Well, that's 1103 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,840 Speaker 1: not true. It's debt. You have to pay that back 1104 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,240 Speaker 1: in taxes. And that's how businesses and people see it. 1105 00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,160 Speaker 1: Our taxes are going to have to go up, right, 1106 00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,760 Speaker 1: you know, So that is money that has to be 1107 00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 1: paid back. I think people understand that, and that's going 1108 00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 1: to hurt long term investing. People aren't going to want 1109 00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,160 Speaker 1: to invest when they're unsure about how high tax rates 1110 00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,080 Speaker 1: will go. Government spending is with astronomical before any of 1111 00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,480 Speaker 1: this happened, and it leaves a lot of uncertainty in 1112 00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,440 Speaker 1: the economy and it's going to be very hard to 1113 00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,160 Speaker 1: come back. And I don't think anybody's talking about it. 1114 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,560 Speaker 1: I don't think politicians want to talk about it because 1115 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,920 Speaker 1: they want to justify the severe draconian lockdowns that they instituted, 1116 00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,520 Speaker 1: and they don't want any blowback for it. I agree Rocardell. 1117 00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,400 Speaker 1: Everybody follow him on Twitter. His last name is very 1118 00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 1: hard to spell, so I will say it's not an 1119 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,040 Speaker 1: easy thing. But if you kind of think about it 1120 00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 1: and you do it phonetically and then you think like Italian, 1121 00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,040 Speaker 1: you'll figure it out, right. Yeah, And you know, just 1122 00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 1: google that you can find the restaurants. Google Rocodella, You'll 1123 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,120 Speaker 1: find them easily. There we go, will Thanks so much 1124 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 1: for your insights, my friend. We'll have you back soon 1125 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:27,200 Speaker 1: and you take care. Thank you, Buck, But you're in 1126 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:34,800 Speaker 1: the freedom. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. These 1127 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,000 Speaker 1: folks are, Let's be honest about what they are. They 1128 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,680 Speaker 1: are the Fox News Nazi Confederate death cult rump of 1129 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 1: the Republican Party, and their very existence is a slap 1130 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,000 Speaker 1: in the face not only to the healthcare workers on 1131 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,640 Speaker 1: the front lines risking their lives every single day, but 1132 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,320 Speaker 1: it's also a slap into the face of the people 1133 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:55,080 Speaker 1: who are actually dying from this virus and disproportionate numbers 1134 00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:59,320 Speaker 1: black and brown people. These aren't economically disenfranchised folks. These 1135 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 1: are small disowners. These are retirees. These are people who 1136 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 1: want their workers to be sent back to work, not themselves. 1137 01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,480 Speaker 1: It's a complete nutter farce. It's an astroidturf farce. And also, 1138 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,880 Speaker 1: I think it needs to be said, it's also unrepresentative 1139 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party as a whole. I just saw 1140 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,800 Speaker 1: a poll that said seventy percent of Republicans want a 1141 01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:23,200 Speaker 1: national stay at home order. This person's appalling, utterly appalling. 1142 01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 1: But is he writes for The Nation, which is perhaps 1143 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,200 Speaker 1: the most disgusting comy rag in any circulation in the 1144 01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,680 Speaker 1: United United States. So he's a sports writer for it. 1145 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,120 Speaker 1: But so he's a sports writer for a commie paper. 1146 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 1: Good job. Everything that he says there is a is 1147 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 1: a vicious and stupid slander. And remember he's talking about 1148 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,400 Speaker 1: people who are trying to have their voices raised peacefully 1149 01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:54,480 Speaker 1: about government policies that increasingly the data does not support 1150 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:59,040 Speaker 1: the lockdown order. If you really look what's going on 1151 01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,760 Speaker 1: in Germany, if you really look what has happened Sweden, 1152 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,000 Speaker 1: for example, is saying that the model that they've done, 1153 01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,520 Speaker 1: that they were all we were told Sweden's heading for catastrophe. False. 1154 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,360 Speaker 1: Sweden is not in a catastrophe. It's doing better than 1155 01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,280 Speaker 1: most of the other major European countries. That have been 1156 01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,440 Speaker 1: hit hard by COVID nineteen not doing as well as Finland. 1157 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,120 Speaker 1: But Finland is like Lichtenstein, It's barely a country. It's 1158 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,520 Speaker 1: got like two million people that live there. If that okay, fine, 1159 01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,000 Speaker 1: I gotta find out. It's just saying, because I know 1160 01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,680 Speaker 1: someone's gonna yell at me, what's the population of Finland? 1161 01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:33,240 Speaker 1: Five million? Sorry, okay, it's got five million people. But 1162 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:35,720 Speaker 1: the truth is that Sweden, we were told was going 1163 01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 1: to run for it was going to have disaster because 1164 01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,600 Speaker 1: they were just doing more common sense, be careful, no 1165 01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,080 Speaker 1: huge gatherings. But businesses can still operate washer hints the 1166 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:47,280 Speaker 1: things that I've wanted us to do all along. Act 1167 01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,840 Speaker 1: like we're in a really really bad flu season, take 1168 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 1: those kinds of precautions, and not act like everybody's about 1169 01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,439 Speaker 1: to die from bubonic plague. If they leave their house, 1170 01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,800 Speaker 1: everyone has to be on lockdown. So the people that 1171 01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,320 Speaker 1: are upset about this, I mean he's now slandering them, 1172 01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,000 Speaker 1: saying that they want their workers to go. No. I 1173 01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,760 Speaker 1: know people who are small business owners here in New 1174 01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:10,160 Speaker 1: York and employees who want to go back to their jobs, 1175 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,720 Speaker 1: who want to be able to function again, and earn 1176 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:17,400 Speaker 1: a living again, and for the attitude from these some 1177 01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,120 Speaker 1: of these media elites to be and they're not elite 1178 01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:21,480 Speaker 1: as and they're good, but you know they think of 1179 01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,160 Speaker 1: themselves as better than other people. I just want to 1180 01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,840 Speaker 1: know what Dave's zeron would say to the four thousand 1181 01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:30,600 Speaker 1: cars that showed up and waited in line four hours 1182 01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:35,000 Speaker 1: in Houston, Texas over the weekend for food bank assistance 1183 01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 1: because they don't have any food and don't have any money. 1184 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,919 Speaker 1: Four thousand cars, probably some of them have at least 1185 01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 1: a few people in them, right, Probably folks might have 1186 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,320 Speaker 1: shown up with their family members. What are those or 1187 01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:47,920 Speaker 1: even if they're the families at home, how many individuals 1188 01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:52,280 Speaker 1: you think those four thousand cars are representing? And that's 1189 01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:57,640 Speaker 1: just one day in Houston, Texas? Right, You've got at 1190 01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:01,640 Speaker 1: least an average, let's say, three or four people that 1191 01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:05,560 Speaker 1: need food. What are we to make of all of this? 1192 01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,240 Speaker 1: I mean, when you're telling people that they have to 1193 01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,600 Speaker 1: wait in line for food because their business has been 1194 01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,720 Speaker 1: shut down by order the state, and then you have 1195 01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:15,560 Speaker 1: smug libs telling them shut up, peasant, go home, watch Netflix. 1196 01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:19,280 Speaker 1: Accept it. You can't risk other people by having any 1197 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:21,760 Speaker 1: individual freedom you're not allowed to leave your home and 1198 01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:23,240 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to operate your business. I mean the 1199 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:24,960 Speaker 1: whole thing about it. These are people that want their 1200 01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:26,959 Speaker 1: workers to go. This guy doesn't it doesn't know anything. 1201 01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:28,800 Speaker 1: I mean, people are right for the nation are a 1202 01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,480 Speaker 1: joke and they're atrocious. So that's they're not they're not 1203 01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,959 Speaker 1: intellectually worthwhile, they're not nice people, they're not decent people, 1204 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,640 Speaker 1: and the Nation is a trash heap. It's like Media 1205 01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,840 Speaker 1: Matters trash heap. If you work for Media Matters, you're 1206 01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,320 Speaker 1: part of a trash organization. You're probably a trash human being. 1207 01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,720 Speaker 1: If you work for the Nation, ninety percent chance you're 1208 01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,320 Speaker 1: trash human being. But me and meaning you know, you're 1209 01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,959 Speaker 1: you're smarmie, you don't care about people. You're not nice, 1210 01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:58,960 Speaker 1: you're not decent, You're a sanctimonious, smug, worthless lib. It 1211 01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:00,880 Speaker 1: just like a look down And everybody with all of 1212 01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:04,000 Speaker 1: the condescension because you went to some second or third 1213 01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:09,120 Speaker 1: tier liberal arts college in the Northeast, woo fantastic. We're 1214 01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:12,960 Speaker 1: all supposed to be so impressed. It's gross. That's gross. 1215 01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 1: You know what else is going on the narrative while 1216 01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:18,160 Speaker 1: we're being told that if you have a problem with this, 1217 01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:20,280 Speaker 1: Remember that guy was talking about the protesters. How dare 1218 01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,840 Speaker 1: they protest? People don't have food, they don't have jobs, 1219 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,360 Speaker 1: they don't have a future right now, And the government's 1220 01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,160 Speaker 1: acting like a bunch of morons in a lot of places, 1221 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 1: telling us beaches can't be open. Why can't beaches be open? 1222 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,400 Speaker 1: Can't operate a store? You know the chances if somebody 1223 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,640 Speaker 1: comes into your store for five minutes, And first of all, 1224 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:38,080 Speaker 1: anyone who thinks they're sick should stay home. I mean, 1225 01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,360 Speaker 1: we have to. We have to operate in society assuming 1226 01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,480 Speaker 1: that not everyone's acting like a moron. Right. If you 1227 01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:44,600 Speaker 1: have a shallow cough and you think you might have 1228 01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:49,439 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, quarantine yourself straight up for two weeks. Get 1229 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,000 Speaker 1: the test obviously as soon as you can, But quarantine yourself. 1230 01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,280 Speaker 1: We all know that there are the things that are 1231 01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,320 Speaker 1: that we're going to do, no matter what the government says. 1232 01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:01,280 Speaker 1: It's the government action here that maybe exacerbating the problem, 1233 01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:04,760 Speaker 1: making things much much worse. Not then brings me to 1234 01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,600 Speaker 1: the case study of the subway here in New York City. 1235 01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:11,240 Speaker 1: It's a paper out of MIT that looks at the subway. 1236 01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,720 Speaker 1: This is a working paper by Jeffrey Harris. The subway 1237 01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:19,680 Speaker 1: seeded the massive coronavirus epidemic in New York City. Now 1238 01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:22,920 Speaker 1: it's an academic paper. Here's what it says. Here's the abstract. 1239 01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,480 Speaker 1: New York City's multi tentacled subway system was a major disseminator, 1240 01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:30,439 Speaker 1: if not the principal transmission vehicle, of coronavirus infection during 1241 01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,760 Speaker 1: the initial initial takeoff of the massive epidemic that became 1242 01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:36,720 Speaker 1: evident throughout the city during March twenty twenty. The near 1243 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:40,040 Speaker 1: shutdown of subway ridership in Manhattan down by over ninety 1244 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:42,120 Speaker 1: percent at the end of March, correlates strongly with the 1245 01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:45,200 Speaker 1: substantial rise in doubling time of new cases in this burrow. 1246 01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:47,720 Speaker 1: Increase in the doubling time of new cases in the 1247 01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:52,479 Speaker 1: burrow maps of subway station turnstile entries superimposed upon zip 1248 01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:56,320 Speaker 1: code level maps of reported coronavirus incidents are strongly consistent 1249 01:05:56,360 --> 01:06:00,760 Speaker 1: with subway facilitated disease propagation. Local train lines appear to 1250 01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,880 Speaker 1: have a higher propensity to transmit infection than express lines. 1251 01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:07,040 Speaker 1: Reciprocal seating of infection appears to be the best explanation 1252 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,160 Speaker 1: for the emergence of a single hot spot in midtown 1253 01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,160 Speaker 1: West Manhattan's right where I live, by the way, bus 1254 01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:16,000 Speaker 1: hubs may have served as a secondary transmission. Why has 1255 01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,600 Speaker 1: New York been hit so hard? Because we have a 1256 01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:21,800 Speaker 1: subway system with millions of people crowded into enclosed areas 1257 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,680 Speaker 1: and in some cases for long periods of time. I 1258 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:27,960 Speaker 1: read through this whole study of the weekend. It's exactly 1259 01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:29,880 Speaker 1: what I've been telling family and friends for weeks in 1260 01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,720 Speaker 1: the city. This is what happened. New York had the 1261 01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,200 Speaker 1: spread of this because it's an international transit hub from 1262 01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,520 Speaker 1: Europe and from China both. We got it from both, 1263 01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:42,080 Speaker 1: and it started to spread rapidly here in the city. 1264 01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:46,920 Speaker 1: And it's spread far and wide along the same route 1265 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:50,600 Speaker 1: that the subway goes. And the worst cases were further 1266 01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:54,400 Speaker 1: out on the subway line places and far out Queens 1267 01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,880 Speaker 1: and far out Brooklyn. And it's because the longer you're 1268 01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,360 Speaker 1: on the train, the more people come on and off 1269 01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,120 Speaker 1: the train, the more prolonged your exposure, and there are 1270 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:06,360 Speaker 1: more people to expose you too. That's what happened. I mean, 1271 01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:08,920 Speaker 1: I've been looking at this for a long time. Someone 1272 01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:11,120 Speaker 1: like me I'm on the subway during the month of 1273 01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:13,840 Speaker 1: the highest spread of the desire, I should say the yeah, 1274 01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:18,120 Speaker 1: February when it was spreading effectively, completely unregulated, and no 1275 01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 1: one really even knew about it, and then into March 1276 01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,120 Speaker 1: when everyone realized, oh my gosh, we got a monster 1277 01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,160 Speaker 1: on our hands here. I was on the subway four 1278 01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:27,280 Speaker 1: times a day, two subway rides to do my first 1279 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,760 Speaker 1: radio show, two subway rides to do my second radio show, 1280 01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:33,640 Speaker 1: every single day. But my subway rides last about ten 1281 01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,680 Speaker 1: to fifteen minutes because I'm only going on the island 1282 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:40,320 Speaker 1: of Manhattan. I'm not traveling to the outer boroughs, so 1283 01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,040 Speaker 1: I spent less time. It still is at high risk 1284 01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 1: for this disease, by the way, but I spent less 1285 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:48,120 Speaker 1: time on the subway than someone who's coming forty five 1286 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,400 Speaker 1: minutes an hour, an hour and fifteen minutes from far 1287 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:54,280 Speaker 1: out in Queens. Guests where you've had the worst pockets 1288 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:59,600 Speaker 1: of worst pockets of disease, you know, the biggest outbreaks 1289 01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:03,200 Speaker 1: have been and far out on the subway line, though 1290 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,280 Speaker 1: not away from the subway, far out on the subway line. 1291 01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,480 Speaker 1: And this all makes sense from everything we know about 1292 01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:11,920 Speaker 1: this disease. That it first of all, likes dark. It 1293 01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:16,280 Speaker 1: likes you know, dark and cool climate. It likes enclosed spaces, 1294 01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:19,080 Speaker 1: just like the flute. It likes people being close and 1295 01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:22,639 Speaker 1: packed into each other. So you would come on the subway, 1296 01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,240 Speaker 1: be exposed this virus, and then go home to your community, 1297 01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:28,519 Speaker 1: and then spread it to more people in your community. 1298 01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,240 Speaker 1: And that kept happening and happening and happening all along 1299 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:34,519 Speaker 1: the subway lines. It also explains why Manhattan has had 1300 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:39,120 Speaker 1: far less exposure to this virus so far, understands exposure 1301 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:42,360 Speaker 1: far and less cases of this virus so far than 1302 01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:45,880 Speaker 1: other places further from the center of the city and 1303 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:50,320 Speaker 1: commercial activity. And then you know what happened the city 1304 01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:54,280 Speaker 1: authorities after the subway had been the primary transmission mechanism, 1305 01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:56,320 Speaker 1: which I believe it was, Which is why why are 1306 01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,160 Speaker 1: we so much worse off than Los Angeles? Here? Los 1307 01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:01,479 Speaker 1: Angeles a huge city, millions of millions of people. We've got, 1308 01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,920 Speaker 1: we've got you know, I can't even do the math, 1309 01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:08,000 Speaker 1: but we've got such a worse situation here than Los 1310 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:11,479 Speaker 1: Angeles does. It's not even close. Why would that be 1311 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:13,559 Speaker 1: the case, Well, because Los Angeles doesn't have a mass 1312 01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:17,479 Speaker 1: transportation system, and other cities. Yeah, they've had some bad outbreaks, 1313 01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:20,240 Speaker 1: but it's not spiraling out of control. They don't have 1314 01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:23,320 Speaker 1: a mass transportation system, the New York City subway, which 1315 01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:25,800 Speaker 1: is the transportation heart. You can't get anywhere here unless 1316 01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:27,200 Speaker 1: you're on the subway. Really, I mean, you can't go 1317 01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,719 Speaker 1: to work, you can't do it. You'll wait in traffic forever. 1318 01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:31,680 Speaker 1: I mean, driving in and out of this city at 1319 01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 1: the wrong time is almost impond People do it, but 1320 01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:37,080 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a really difficult, really difficult thing 1321 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,920 Speaker 1: to do every day. The subway is the heart of 1322 01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:43,799 Speaker 1: the city for commercial purposes, for transit purposes. Subway workers 1323 01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:48,760 Speaker 1: more subway workers per capita infected with coronavirus than the 1324 01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:52,160 Speaker 1: worst zip codes of the five boroughs. So of course 1325 01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:55,200 Speaker 1: subway workers were particularly high risk of getting this because 1326 01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,479 Speaker 1: the subway was the main mechanism for transmission and they're 1327 01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:01,040 Speaker 1: on the subway all the time. So this is what happened. 1328 01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:03,439 Speaker 1: And you know what they told us to do once 1329 01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:07,000 Speaker 1: that had already spread far and wide on the subway lockdown, 1330 01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:09,800 Speaker 1: at home school shut down. Do you know what one 1331 01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,400 Speaker 1: of the worst things you can possibly do when you 1332 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:15,519 Speaker 1: already have very widespread transmission of this virus is without 1333 01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:19,120 Speaker 1: making any distinctions. Tell people who are younger and healthier, now, 1334 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,479 Speaker 1: you can't even leave the house. You must stay at 1335 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:26,479 Speaker 1: home all day coughing, touching things, coughing, touching things with you. 1336 01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,840 Speaker 1: You know, your grandma, your grandpa there, elderly relatives or 1337 01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:34,960 Speaker 1: your parents there. Who are you over sixty five? Yeah, 1338 01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,760 Speaker 1: that's what the city authorities. That was their plan. Lock 1339 01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:40,120 Speaker 1: everybody down at home. The disease had already spread all 1340 01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:42,320 Speaker 1: over the city. You're here, They're going to find that 1341 01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:44,360 Speaker 1: at least a million people who are exposed to this 1342 01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 1: at some level. To get anybody and have anybodies from it, 1343 01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,599 Speaker 1: that's my guests. We know over one hundred and fifty 1344 01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:52,960 Speaker 1: thousand cases confirmed, might have been two or three million 1345 01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:54,760 Speaker 1: people that have antibodies to this at this point or 1346 01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,640 Speaker 1: have been have at some level of exposure. And then 1347 01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:59,400 Speaker 1: they shut it down. They told everybody to go home. 1348 01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,120 Speaker 1: You know what I did made it worse. But listen 1349 01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,920 Speaker 1: to the experts they tell you. Thanks for listening to 1350 01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:09,240 Speaker 1: the Bus Sesson Show podcast.

Okay. 1361 01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:41,479 Speaker 1: People are losing their minds in this city and it's 1362 01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:44,599 Speaker 1: starting to freak me out. Yeah, but then I might 1363 01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:48,640 Speaker 1: get reported by the squeal squaded by don't wear a 1364 01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,360 Speaker 1: face maskball jogging? Aren't you? Aren't you a little bit 1365 01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:55,799 Speaker 1: taken aback by? Just how how overt the the nanny 1366 01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:59,960 Speaker 1: stadism and then the hall the hall monitorization of America 1367 01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,560 Speaker 1: has to become In some of these big cities Deblasio Garcetti, 1368 01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:06,439 Speaker 1: They're like, hey, if you see somebody I'm lder, we're 1369 01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:09,599 Speaker 1: gonna take out, like you know, rulers, or how are 1370 01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:12,200 Speaker 1: we gonna do these measurements? Oh, somebody was three feet 1371 01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,160 Speaker 1: away from somebody else in the grocery store. This is 1372 01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:16,559 Speaker 1: just a it's absurd, beyond belief. But I think it 1373 01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:19,880 Speaker 1: really does show that unfortunately, this has become it's not 1374 01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:23,200 Speaker 1: even that it's just political. Political philosophy has has gotten 1375 01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:25,200 Speaker 1: involved in this now where the people that believe the 1376 01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:28,040 Speaker 1: state is competent think that the state should be able 1377 01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:30,439 Speaker 1: to do all these things right exactly. You know, I 1378 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,880 Speaker 1: keep thinking of that Ralph Wigham, meaning like, look, I'm 1379 01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:38,000 Speaker 1: helping every time Deblasio tries to pretend like he's doing 1380 01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 1: as much as Andrew Cuomo or Eric Garcetti. Look, just 1381 01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,679 Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, the big story about these mayors, 1382 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:48,759 Speaker 1: especially Eric Garcetti, was the absolute state of their cities 1383 01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:52,320 Speaker 1: in terms of the homeless crisis, the death the disease 1384 01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:55,200 Speaker 1: type point fever, bubonic plague on the streets of these 1385 01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:59,960 Speaker 1: homeless agamment. They were health department disasters these cities. These 1386 01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,720 Speaker 1: public health worker, city officials, cops, people work in city hall, 1387 01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:07,320 Speaker 1: especially in Los Angeles, We're getting diseases that we thought 1388 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:09,639 Speaker 1: were wiped out in the Middle Ages. Now suddenly they 1389 01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,800 Speaker 1: think that they can control this. It's almost like, you know, 1390 01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:16,240 Speaker 1: I guess that they feel they have to iwas ever 1391 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:19,960 Speaker 1: increasing Dracconian measures just to pretend like they're doing something, 1392 01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,280 Speaker 1: to pretend like they're helping, when by a large what 1393 01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,360 Speaker 1: are these things actually doing. Nobody usually acknowledge the fact 1394 01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:28,479 Speaker 1: that the whole reason why people get sick more often 1395 01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:31,640 Speaker 1: in the wintertime is because they're indoors. There's nothing to 1396 01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:35,160 Speaker 1: do with the cold making breeding viruses. I mean, they 1397 01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:36,639 Speaker 1: do tend to die off for and it's warmer out, 1398 01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,280 Speaker 1: but it's people being indoors and in close proximity to 1399 01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:43,200 Speaker 1: each other, being outdoors and maybe not not large gatherings, 1400 01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:45,639 Speaker 1: but these are helping things to do if you're staying 1401 01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:48,160 Speaker 1: a way for other people. And also the you know, 1402 01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:51,679 Speaker 1: I mentioned the Nanni statism, but we're seeing something that's 1403 01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:55,519 Speaker 1: that some conservatives and I will admit some libertarians have 1404 01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,160 Speaker 1: been have been worried about for a while, and that 1405 01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:02,440 Speaker 1: is the the leveraging of the biggest social media platforms 1406 01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:06,400 Speaker 1: as really a tool of the state to shut down 1407 01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:09,360 Speaker 1: I mean, now you know, Nebraska has had this. A 1408 01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:11,360 Speaker 1: bunch of other states I can't think of the top 1409 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:13,160 Speaker 1: I think New Jersey was one of them, but a 1410 01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:16,960 Speaker 1: bunch of these states have had social media platforms say no, 1411 01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:21,600 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to organize a protest against the lockdown 1412 01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:25,400 Speaker 1: measures on our program on Facebook being the case in point, 1413 01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:29,840 Speaker 1: because the government says you can't, that any journalists would 1414 01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,320 Speaker 1: view that as anything other than a huge First Amendment 1415 01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:34,680 Speaker 1: red flag. I mean, I know you could say it's 1416 01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:36,880 Speaker 1: not the state, it's it's but at the First Amendment, 1417 01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:38,800 Speaker 1: I mean, your free speech perhaps a better way to 1418 01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:41,240 Speaker 1: put it. This is mind boggling. I mean, now you 1419 01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:43,559 Speaker 1: can't even use your you can't even use social media 1420 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:48,200 Speaker 1: platforms to redress, to gather together to redress your government 1421 01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:52,360 Speaker 1: for grievances. Exactly. Yeah, it's right now. It's been California, Nebraska, 1422 01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:56,639 Speaker 1: and New Jersey. Mark Zuckerberg, the most trustworthy man in America, 1423 01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:00,800 Speaker 1: whoever would just loves cud league. Mark said to George Stefanopolus, 1424 01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:02,600 Speaker 1: I believe it was just today, or maybe it was 1425 01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:06,200 Speaker 1: over the weekend, so that we are removing pages of 1426 01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:09,880 Speaker 1: these groups that try to protest now these issues of 1427 01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:11,760 Speaker 1: this government overreach. I mean, this is a stuff that 1428 01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:14,800 Speaker 1: that really gets people were into political philosophy on the right, 1429 01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:17,160 Speaker 1: very fired up and very excited about it. I mean, 1430 01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:20,559 Speaker 1: this is the definition of these govern overreach measures. Look 1431 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:24,040 Speaker 1: at Michigan, where you can't go fishing by yourself in 1432 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:27,760 Speaker 1: the isolated Upper Peninsula, but you know, and you can't 1433 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:29,960 Speaker 1: buy your own seeds from the hardware store to grow 1434 01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:32,519 Speaker 1: your own food, but you can still buy lottery tickets. 1435 01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:36,000 Speaker 1: The governor can still have her hair and make up 1436 01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:39,160 Speaker 1: done professionally and before she goes on TV for thirteen 1437 01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:42,400 Speaker 1: hours a day. But you can't go fishing. It's absolute 1438 01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:45,800 Speaker 1: government overreach. These you can't even buy furniture, doesn't want 1439 01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:48,920 Speaker 1: you decorating your homes. You can't visit your neighbors or 1440 01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:53,679 Speaker 1: family members. So just imagine if something the left really 1441 01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:56,320 Speaker 1: cares about saying these social media platforms started saying that 1442 01:15:56,360 --> 01:16:00,920 Speaker 1: Antifa couldn't hold their imaginary anti white suprema rallies whatever, 1443 01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:03,880 Speaker 1: How would the media be reacting, How would the left 1444 01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:05,560 Speaker 1: be reacting. I mean, it just goes to show that 1445 01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:07,720 Speaker 1: we know, all along as these double standards that the 1446 01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:10,920 Speaker 1: left is certainly the media is in the pocket of 1447 01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:14,120 Speaker 1: the government of the left is certainly on their side. Uh. 1448 01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:18,599 Speaker 1: And it's it's so egregious. These social media companies, obviously 1449 01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:21,639 Speaker 1: they're doing nothing different than they've been doing forever. Which 1450 01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:24,640 Speaker 1: is silencing voices on the right that they do not like. 1451 01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:29,280 Speaker 1: It used to be individual characters, individual individuals, the individual 1452 01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:31,840 Speaker 1: posts from people. Now it's these groups that just want 1453 01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:36,680 Speaker 1: to organize to speak their minds, and they now that 1454 01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:40,400 Speaker 1: we have this crisis and everyone is freaked out that 1455 01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:45,719 Speaker 1: these these giant tech companies are increasingly shameless and admitting 1456 01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:47,960 Speaker 1: how much control they have and how much centership they have. 1457 01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:50,680 Speaker 1: Google just the other day it was probably admitted that 1458 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:53,880 Speaker 1: they're tracking people's movements by their cell phones in one 1459 01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:56,400 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one countries to make sure that they're 1460 01:16:56,640 --> 01:17:01,200 Speaker 1: social distancing and staying at home. Clearly that they're being 1461 01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:04,360 Speaker 1: they're being enlisted, and it's willing by these companies. All 1462 01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:05,800 Speaker 1: of the companies, I'm sure would say that they can 1463 01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:07,479 Speaker 1: be regulated by the state. If they didn't, you know, 1464 01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,800 Speaker 1: there'd be some executive order right that that Facebook or 1465 01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:12,559 Speaker 1: Google has to share this data. They are being enlisted 1466 01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:15,840 Speaker 1: by the state to control what we can say, to 1467 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:20,280 Speaker 1: prohibit gatherings for specifically for political issues and redress of government, 1468 01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:24,320 Speaker 1: and to share our movements with the government. That's that 1469 01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:26,160 Speaker 1: seems like this is the stuff that people have been 1470 01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:29,720 Speaker 1: talking about for a long time. Yeah, and anyone who 1471 01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:32,519 Speaker 1: ever made those comments about well, these are private companies, 1472 01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,040 Speaker 1: they can do whatever they want. That that I Roll 1473 01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:38,559 Speaker 1: and company. This just goes to show how how entwined 1474 01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:41,000 Speaker 1: they are with the governments in our states and our 1475 01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:44,160 Speaker 1: federal government because they also are building our websites. You know, 1476 01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,680 Speaker 1: the state governors and the medal governments are happy to 1477 01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,960 Speaker 1: say that Google is helping them with their unemployment websites, 1478 01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:52,960 Speaker 1: with their COVID nineteen websites. So these companies have been 1479 01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:56,280 Speaker 1: for a long time entrenched in the state and uh 1480 01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,640 Speaker 1: and now they you know they can. They are just 1481 01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:02,800 Speaker 1: waving in our faces. Because who's really going to get 1482 01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:05,920 Speaker 1: upset if a bunch of right wingers in Michigan wanted 1483 01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:11,720 Speaker 1: to get together and express their agrievances against the government. Uh. 1484 01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:13,240 Speaker 1: You may have also saw that tweet. I think it 1485 01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:16,759 Speaker 1: was last week North Carolina. A group in Raleigh wanted 1486 01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:20,280 Speaker 1: to organize in the police. The Raleigh Police Department tweeted 1487 01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:23,720 Speaker 1: that protesting is a non essential activity. Well, you want 1488 01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:27,200 Speaker 1: to get the blood boiling of any constitution, lover, then 1489 01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,680 Speaker 1: there you have it. And now there's one there's one 1490 01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,160 Speaker 1: topic that we're just we're switching gears here a little bit. 1491 01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:33,960 Speaker 1: But this this comes from you, Chadwick. So I wanted 1492 01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,519 Speaker 1: to give you an opportunity to explain what this is 1493 01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:40,600 Speaker 1: you want to discuss today. How quote Joe Exotic is 1494 01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:46,200 Speaker 1: the greatest living gay role model end quote, Please explain? Well, 1495 01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:48,360 Speaker 1: that came from a calm I wrote in the Spectator. 1496 01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:50,639 Speaker 1: Joe Exotic is, of course the star of Tiger King. 1497 01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:54,200 Speaker 1: That that I'm sure most your audience now you know 1498 01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:56,840 Speaker 1: you've been talking about it. Yeah, yeah, Who who would 1499 01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:00,240 Speaker 1: have thought that a gay, a gay man in heard 1500 01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:03,160 Speaker 1: print glitter who ran a private zoo in Oklahoma would 1501 01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:05,560 Speaker 1: have brought the nation together during the biggest crisis in 1502 01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:08,720 Speaker 1: our lifetimes. But he seems to have. Uh. Well, it's 1503 01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:10,880 Speaker 1: interesting because I love. What I love about him is 1504 01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,839 Speaker 1: he's the I Sir compared him to. He's the chaotic 1505 01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:18,080 Speaker 1: libertine right, and his arch nemesis, the Carol Baskin is 1506 01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:23,160 Speaker 1: so perfectly this authoritarian uptight. She's so Hillary Clinton in 1507 01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:25,160 Speaker 1: a way, he's so Donald Trump. I think that's why 1508 01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:28,160 Speaker 1: a lot a lot of what one of the reasons 1509 01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:31,240 Speaker 1: why this show is resonated, because we're still reliving those 1510 01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:34,880 Speaker 1: two forces in our society and these two in this 1511 01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:38,760 Speaker 1: in this weird microcosm of private zookeeping, so perfectly put 1512 01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,120 Speaker 1: it together. But one thing that's interesting too is you 1513 01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:46,479 Speaker 1: might know, sure, he's got very sordid and grim life. 1514 01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 1: You know, there's drugs around him all the time. He 1515 01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:52,280 Speaker 1: seduces men constantly, but he's also he throws a wrench 1516 01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:56,479 Speaker 1: into the whole gay lobbies narrative that that and this 1517 01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:58,599 Speaker 1: is something I've known for a long time, being from 1518 01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:01,559 Speaker 1: a rural part of Tennis. See that you know that 1519 01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,400 Speaker 1: the Red State America, places like Oklahoma are filled with 1520 01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:08,120 Speaker 1: these homo hunting bigots, right when actually it's more of 1521 01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:10,360 Speaker 1: this sort of in group mentality. It always has been 1522 01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,400 Speaker 1: that like, yeah, you know, there's gonna be differences, but 1523 01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:16,400 Speaker 1: someone like him, he celebrated his community and he's wildly 1524 01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:20,719 Speaker 1: homosexual and out there. Um and as it really destroys 1525 01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:25,439 Speaker 1: that narrative about about the blanket bigotry of Trump Country 1526 01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,000 Speaker 1: and Red America. And uh, I just have to ask, 1527 01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:30,880 Speaker 1: do you think he's guilty or you think he got 1528 01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:33,880 Speaker 1: set up? I think he got set up. I think 1529 01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:36,920 Speaker 1: he's another one of these examples I do now I 1530 01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:41,360 Speaker 1: think that he um excuse me not covid um. I 1531 01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:44,639 Speaker 1: think that he It seems like and we and we've 1532 01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:50,920 Speaker 1: seen this with lots of high profile trials lately, like, um, 1533 01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:52,479 Speaker 1: you're gonna get some letters when I say this, But 1534 01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:54,600 Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein, and I'm happy to go into why I 1535 01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:57,400 Speaker 1: feel that way, and with Roger Stone with a much 1536 01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:01,920 Speaker 1: better of these high profile trials where and where government 1537 01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:04,400 Speaker 1: resources are poured into investigate something and they got to 1538 01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:07,760 Speaker 1: come up with something. They've got to something like over 1539 01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:11,040 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of fedbroal cases end up in a 1540 01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:13,519 Speaker 1: guilty verdict or plea. I mean in the better vermic car. 1541 01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:16,880 Speaker 1: I think it's ninety seven, but yeah, ninety seven. This 1542 01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:18,960 Speaker 1: is a fedbroal case. So the fish and wildlife came 1543 01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,760 Speaker 1: in the FBI. So I don't think it was a 1544 01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:24,040 Speaker 1: murderer higher plot against Susan Baskin. I mean that if 1545 01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 1: you watch the film, it's extremely flimsy evidence, but with 1546 01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:32,599 Speaker 1: the abusing animals, probably seems like he had some tigers 1547 01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,920 Speaker 1: that he owned were maybe sick or too aggressive, and 1548 01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:38,000 Speaker 1: he just took out himself, killed them and buried him. 1549 01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:40,280 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this thing the one of the 1550 01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:43,160 Speaker 1: only things one of the only things that the American 1551 01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:47,400 Speaker 1: people in general will not abide. I mean, you know, murderer. 1552 01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:50,080 Speaker 1: Higher people might be able to say, you know, we 1553 01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:53,519 Speaker 1: all make mistakes. You know, you serve your time. You 1554 01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:57,680 Speaker 1: you abuse and or kill animals like you know, you know, 1555 01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:01,479 Speaker 1: in an abusive and abusive way. People are out for you. Man, 1556 01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,280 Speaker 1: They're coming for you. It is especially I mean especially 1557 01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:08,120 Speaker 1: dogs or cats, but tigers, cool animals like that too. 1558 01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:11,040 Speaker 1: M The American people will not abide that at all. 1559 01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,760 Speaker 1: So I think you're right in that the opinion of 1560 01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,200 Speaker 1: the jury and everything, it wasn't the murder for higher thing. 1561 01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:18,160 Speaker 1: That's a little more like, well maybe he did, maybe 1562 01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:20,400 Speaker 1: he didn't. It's oh, I'm sorry you were abusing. You 1563 01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:23,000 Speaker 1: were abusing these beautiful big cats that you were entrusted with. 1564 01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:25,960 Speaker 1: Unacceptable way. But but but hold on a second. There's one 1565 01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:29,479 Speaker 1: other thing. What do you have? Oh gosh, I'm like, 1566 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:31,400 Speaker 1: how much trouble do I feel like? Really starting her? 1567 01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,639 Speaker 1: Do you have a little bit of a counter counter 1568 01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:37,879 Speaker 1: the narrative, a counter consensus, I should say, on Harvey Weinstein, 1569 01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:41,200 Speaker 1: are you one of those? I do? Yeah? I wrote 1570 01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:44,000 Speaker 1: about it too, because I mean, look, he's disgusting, he's 1571 01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:46,519 Speaker 1: a scumbag. But if you actually look at what he 1572 01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:48,800 Speaker 1: was convicted of, and you look at the charges, so 1573 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:52,120 Speaker 1: you had, you know, something like one hundred women accused 1574 01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:56,360 Speaker 1: him of various levels of appropriate sexual behavior, sexual assault 1575 01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:59,160 Speaker 1: or whatever that range from lots of different things. It's 1576 01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:01,679 Speaker 1: a trial in New York. Only two women, right, they 1577 01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:05,160 Speaker 1: were several years old accusations. There were women that after 1578 01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:08,000 Speaker 1: they were together, you know, sent him loving text messages. 1579 01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:10,400 Speaker 1: I know they had continued relationships. I talked about this 1580 01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:12,160 Speaker 1: on my show, So I'm not I'm not about to, 1581 01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, slam this down and say, oh, we can't 1582 01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:16,680 Speaker 1: have his discussion. Yeah. Well, the thing that gets me 1583 01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:18,400 Speaker 1: about him is nobody with doubt that he's not a 1584 01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:21,920 Speaker 1: disgusting person. But but look at the culture behind that 1585 01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,880 Speaker 1: sent waynian that was another thing that was a jury 1586 01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:26,160 Speaker 1: of public opinion he had. He got twenty three years 1587 01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:29,080 Speaker 1: where he said, she said, And when you look at 1588 01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:33,080 Speaker 1: the actual charges, it's so of course the media ran 1589 01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:35,960 Speaker 1: with convicted of rap in all the headlines New York Times, 1590 01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,920 Speaker 1: blah blah. Well yeah, but not really. I mean, when 1591 01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:41,879 Speaker 1: you think of rape, you think of violent first degree felonies, 1592 01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:44,639 Speaker 1: sexual assault. He was actually convicted of like third degree 1593 01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:48,920 Speaker 1: statutory rate, but when you read it, it's actually the 1594 01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:53,280 Speaker 1: victim felt that they were unable to consent because of 1595 01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:57,200 Speaker 1: circumstance or physical the person, the other person's you know, 1596 01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,680 Speaker 1: physical problems. So basically like she felt she couldn't say 1597 01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:01,519 Speaker 1: no because he was fat, because he was powerful, so 1598 01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:03,240 Speaker 1: she never said yes. She never said no. You know, 1599 01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:05,599 Speaker 1: this is all this is kind of like nippicky stuff. 1600 01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:08,120 Speaker 1: But the reason why and I have still remain interested 1601 01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:11,360 Speaker 1: in this case is this culture is coming for everyone. 1602 01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:13,320 Speaker 1: He just happened to be the worst one. Everyone knew 1603 01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:15,880 Speaker 1: this was happening in Hollywood. But every man out there 1604 01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:19,200 Speaker 1: if Harvey Weinstein get twenty three years or he said 1605 01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:22,839 Speaker 1: she said from several years ago, and the charges are basically, 1606 01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:26,120 Speaker 1: he had some grim sexual encounter with someone and she 1607 01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:29,599 Speaker 1: didn't say yes, but she didn't say no. And where 1608 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,160 Speaker 1: is that needing our culture? You know? I mean, at 1609 01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:34,639 Speaker 1: least he did get due process. I've been saying, look 1610 01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:37,000 Speaker 1: look at what they've done or whoever. Yeah, and I've 1611 01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:38,400 Speaker 1: been starting to cut you off. We have a delay, 1612 01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:41,080 Speaker 1: but look at what they've done with with Kavanaugh, and 1613 01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:43,120 Speaker 1: now what they've tried to do with Biden. By the 1614 01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,480 Speaker 1: standard will be weaponized to the utmost when it's politically, 1615 01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 1: you know, useful, and it will also be discarded the 1616 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,880 Speaker 1: moment that it's it's problematic. And as I've said, the 1617 01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:53,920 Speaker 1: standard that they have said with Yancy and I by 1618 01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:56,200 Speaker 1: the way, I actually completely I hadn't heard your analysis. 1619 01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:58,320 Speaker 1: I completely agree with you. Okay, I think that this 1620 01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:00,680 Speaker 1: is I think that this is an and so and 1621 01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:02,479 Speaker 1: you and I would get yelled at for this by 1622 01:25:02,479 --> 01:25:04,120 Speaker 1: a whole lot of people, but I think we're right. 1623 01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:09,160 Speaker 1: I continue to have to say that someone is guilty 1624 01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:12,439 Speaker 1: of rape in a circumstance like this, with so little 1625 01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:14,960 Speaker 1: evidence to say it's beyond a reasonable doubt. And a 1626 01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:20,599 Speaker 1: continuing relationship does not cast sexual relationship willful. Sexual relation 1627 01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:24,719 Speaker 1: does not cast any doubt on the allegation that's setting 1628 01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:29,040 Speaker 1: up people for down the line. Anybody can, as they say, 1629 01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:31,519 Speaker 1: get got by this one. Anybody could be in a 1630 01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:33,200 Speaker 1: whole lot of trouble. There's really no way to how 1631 01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:35,080 Speaker 1: do you defend yourself someone says, oh that one night, 1632 01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:37,840 Speaker 1: you know of the hundreds of times.

The American people are tired of it. 1688 01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:27,280 Speaker 1: It shows in the polling, and people are watching every 1689 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:31,320 Speaker 1: day because they want information about saving lives.

When everyone knows there's not enough testing, people 1693 01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:41,240 Speaker 1: don't want to go back to work if there's not 1694 01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:43,679 Speaker 1: enough testing. People are reticined to go back to work 1695 01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:47,240 Speaker 1: if there aren't tests if they don't know, if they 1696 01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:50,479 Speaker 1: have antibodies, if that's actually going to protect them from 1697 01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:54,120 Speaker 1: getting this virus. Is there a disconnect in the White 1698 01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:57,479 Speaker 1: House with this president?

The federal government is forcing hospitals in 1775 01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:46,919 Speaker 1: the name of in the name of expanding and protecting 1776 01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:52,640 Speaker 1: our healthcare capacity, the federal government is forcing some hospitals 1777 01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:54,880 Speaker 1: to go bankrupt. That's what's gonna happen here. That's why 1778 01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:56,680 Speaker 1: they're they're gonna need to have a huge bailout for 1779 01:32:56,680 --> 01:33:00,280 Speaker 1: the hospitals. Everyone's gonna be asking for bailouts. There's no business. 1780 01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:03,960 Speaker 1: Hospitals are furloughing employees all over the place. They have 1781 01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:08,240 Speaker 1: no money coming in. And most hospitals don't have a 1782 01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,479 Speaker 1: huge COVID problem. Vast majority of them don't have a 1783 01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:13,920 Speaker 1: huge COVID problem. So what are we doing? This is 1784 01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:16,479 Speaker 1: the world we're living in right now. Government says we do, 1785 01:33:16,640 --> 01:33:21,120 Speaker 1: We don't question Greg. Greetings, Buck, thanks so much for 1786 01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:23,640 Speaker 1: having Devin Newness on the show yesterday. I was so 1787 01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:27,599 Speaker 1: relieved to hear the pressure continue to run the Russia scam. 1788 01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:30,920 Speaker 1: That the pressure continues to run the Russia scam to ground. 1789 01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:34,120 Speaker 1: I'm hopeful this effort will eventually to prison time for 1790 01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:37,160 Speaker 1: deserving miscrey and such as Brennan, Clapper and Hillary. I 1791 01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:40,240 Speaker 1: would also like to see the investigation expanded. How many 1792 01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:42,640 Speaker 1: years ago did Shift learn the Russia hoax was just 1793 01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:46,720 Speaker 1: a Hillary dream? Yet he pursued character assassination, slander, and 1794 01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:50,800 Speaker 1: impeachment under false pretenses with his claims that the Shift 1795 01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:55,439 Speaker 1: fabricated phone call content demonstrated a continuing pattern of Trump's 1796 01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:58,880 Speaker 1: seeking alliances with other countries to interfere in US elections. 1797 01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:00,760 Speaker 1: Thanks for all the great research and guests. Pass my 1798 01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:04,599 Speaker 1: regards to Lulah and Producer Mark. She'll tie well. Producer 1799 01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:06,240 Speaker 1: Mark will certainly get it to Lula. Right now is 1800 01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:08,360 Speaker 1: passed out on the couch in the sunlight. That's her 1801 01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,160 Speaker 1: favorite thing. She has a good setup. I gotta say, 1802 01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:15,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's uh. She rejected. I made her two 1803 01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:17,640 Speaker 1: different I cooked for her two different meals over the 1804 01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:20,040 Speaker 1: weekend for her dog food, because we don't give her 1805 01:34:20,040 --> 01:34:22,240 Speaker 1: dog food. We give her like human food that's men 1806 01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:24,439 Speaker 1: for dogs, so not men for dogs, but that dogs 1807 01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:26,960 Speaker 1: can eat, you know, chicken and ground beef and things 1808 01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:29,439 Speaker 1: like that. She rejected two bowls. Producer Mark. I had 1809 01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:31,200 Speaker 1: to make her a third meal before she would actually 1810 01:34:31,240 --> 01:34:33,639 Speaker 1: eat it. She she swats the bowl away with her 1811 01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:36,719 Speaker 1: nose when she it's like, get this out of my face, peasant, 1812 01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:39,640 Speaker 1: bring me real food. Now. What do you do with 1813 01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:44,120 Speaker 1: the food that she doesn't eat? Well, Usually she's kind 1814 01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:45,360 Speaker 1: of like licked it and sniffed it and it's a 1815 01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:48,160 Speaker 1: little gross, so we kind of toss it. Okay, that's 1816 01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:50,679 Speaker 1: where I was hoping. Oh okay. I was like, dude, 1817 01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:53,200 Speaker 1: I mean, are you trying to be wasteful or anything, 1818 01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:55,000 Speaker 1: But usually if the dog is already sniffed it and 1819 01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:56,800 Speaker 1: licked at it and everything else. And also yes, I 1820 01:34:56,880 --> 01:34:58,920 Speaker 1: mix in, I do have dry food for the dog 1821 01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:01,240 Speaker 1: that does not smell particularly good that you put in 1822 01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:04,040 Speaker 1: with the chicken and stuff. So like I'm not eating 1823 01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:06,120 Speaker 1: that stuff. Well, then I understand why she wouldn't want 1824 01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:09,439 Speaker 1: to eat it that stuff scross. Yeah, yeah, that's true. 1825 01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:15,320 Speaker 1: So she's very she's very snooty or snouty perhaps, as 1826 01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:19,040 Speaker 1: the case may be, Adam Buck. Here in Michigan, we're 1827 01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:22,920 Speaker 1: seeing the beginnings of we will not comply. Seeing lots 1828 01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:25,000 Speaker 1: of fights on social media. Have been involved in a few. 1829 01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:27,400 Speaker 1: As you say, the argument always evolves into you want 1830 01:35:27,400 --> 01:35:31,599 Speaker 1: to kill Grandma, keep up the swoop and shields eye, yeah, Adam. 1831 01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:33,760 Speaker 1: And people are dug in out to their trenches on this. 1832 01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:35,519 Speaker 1: They don't want to look at facts and logic. They 1833 01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:37,080 Speaker 1: just want to they want to be right, and they 1834 01:35:37,080 --> 01:35:38,880 Speaker 1: want other people to do what they tell them to do, 1835 01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:41,519 Speaker 1: which is a you know, I think there's a really 1836 01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:46,639 Speaker 1: deep philosophical separation between those of us who want want 1837 01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:49,040 Speaker 1: personal freedom and want others to have the same and 1838 01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:52,679 Speaker 1: those who for whom freedom is a constant threat. Individual 1839 01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:55,920 Speaker 1: freedom is a constant threat to their perception of a 1840 01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:58,519 Speaker 1: good and ordered society, and they really think that the smarter, 1841 01:35:58,640 --> 01:36:00,680 Speaker 1: better people should be telling the other people what to 1842 01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:02,680 Speaker 1: do all the time. They're known as liberals, which is 1843 01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:05,280 Speaker 1: a bad name for them because they oppose liberty but 1844 01:36:05,400 --> 01:36:09,880 Speaker 1: the left. But it's more than just the designation as 1845 01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:12,240 Speaker 1: political left. It's really a mindset. I think this is 1846 01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:16,360 Speaker 1: a deep, deep separation in the brain between those who 1847 01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:19,200 Speaker 1: think that human beings should be able to pursue their 1848 01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:21,960 Speaker 1: own destiny and you know, within some limits. Obviously, I'm 1849 01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:23,920 Speaker 1: not I'm not an anarchist who's saying that we should 1850 01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:25,960 Speaker 1: have no government and nothing, but that we should have 1851 01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:28,240 Speaker 1: day to day choices and freedom, and the other people 1852 01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:33,240 Speaker 1: out there who think that anyone's real freedom is a 1853 01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:39,479 Speaker 1: threat to their sense of order and safety and safety 1854 01:36:39,560 --> 01:36:42,599 Speaker 1: not just meaning physical safety, but their emotional safety, their 1855 01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:47,000 Speaker 1: psychological safety. This is, like I've told you the line 1856 01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:50,599 Speaker 1: about a Puritan is someone who worries that someone somewhere 1857 01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:53,439 Speaker 1: might actually be having a good time. In America today, 1858 01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:58,439 Speaker 1: a liberal is a person who someone somewhere is very 1859 01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:01,840 Speaker 1: concerned that someone might actually be living a free and 1860 01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:06,559 Speaker 1: prosperous life without being told what to do all the time. Also, 1861 01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:07,880 Speaker 1: I mentioned this at the top of the show. I 1862 01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:09,400 Speaker 1: wanted to get to get back to it. If you're 1863 01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:12,840 Speaker 1: looking for books to read, a Homage to Catalonia is 1864 01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:18,280 Speaker 1: Orwell's third best work in my opinion, or most perhaps 1865 01:37:18,360 --> 01:37:20,680 Speaker 1: most powerful work. It's act. You could argue, I mean 1866 01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:24,120 Speaker 1: it's better. Well, no, Animal Farm is amazing for what 1867 01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:25,639 Speaker 1: it is. I was gonna say, you can maybe argue 1868 01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:30,120 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four is the best, but Homage Homage 1869 01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:34,559 Speaker 1: to Catalonia is nonfiction. It's about George Orwell's time. By 1870 01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:37,000 Speaker 1: the way, you asked me for book recommendations. If you 1871 01:37:37,040 --> 01:37:40,679 Speaker 1: have not read nineteen eighty four, Animal Farm, and Homage 1872 01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:45,200 Speaker 1: to Catalonia one, two, all three, those should be top 1873 01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:48,559 Speaker 1: of your read pile right now. To everybody listening, if 1874 01:37:48,600 --> 01:37:51,360 Speaker 1: you have not read those books, please read at least 1875 01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:54,320 Speaker 1: one while we're all in lockdown. The first one, I 1876 01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:57,160 Speaker 1: would say as nineteen eighty four for the adults, maybe 1877 01:37:57,160 --> 01:37:59,360 Speaker 1: then how Mage to Catalonia, and then maybe Animal Farm. 1878 01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:01,360 Speaker 1: But you should read all of them and they won't 1879 01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:03,320 Speaker 1: take you long. Those are books you should all read. 1880 01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:07,439 Speaker 1: And but I just noted this, that Orwell. This was 1881 01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:09,799 Speaker 1: making the rounds on social media the weekend that Orwell 1882 01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:14,880 Speaker 1: had this quote because he hated journalists, because journalists are 1883 01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:19,799 Speaker 1: generally very often very bad and self interested in gross people. Quote, 1884 01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:21,559 Speaker 1: it was the first time I had seen a person 1885 01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:25,559 Speaker 1: this is referring, I think, to communist communist agit prop 1886 01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:28,600 Speaker 1: inside of the Spanish Civil War. Oh that's what how 1887 01:38:28,680 --> 01:38:30,800 Speaker 1: much the Catalonian is about? Is that Orwell was fighting 1888 01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:34,599 Speaker 1: on the side of the Well, fighting on the side 1889 01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:37,439 Speaker 1: of the communist against the fascists in the Spanish Civil War, 1890 01:38:38,240 --> 01:38:39,760 Speaker 1: And he said it was the first time that I 1891 01:38:39,800 --> 01:38:42,360 Speaker 1: had seen a person whose profession was telling lies. Unless 1892 01:38:42,400 --> 01:38:46,120 Speaker 1: one counts the journalists, I do not suppose I should 1893 01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:49,080 Speaker 1: exaggerate if I said that nine tenths of it is untruthful. 1894 01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:52,439 Speaker 1: Nearly all the newspaper accounts published at the time were 1895 01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:55,200 Speaker 1: manufactured by journalists at a distance, and we're not only 1896 01:38:55,240 --> 01:39:04,120 Speaker 1: inaccurate in their facts but intentionally misleading. So yeah, journalists, 1897 01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:09,360 Speaker 1: bad bad, not I do not have a good record 1898 01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:11,680 Speaker 1: for truth telling. Just look up Walter Duranti if you 1899 01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:13,559 Speaker 1: want to know how much you know they're really there, 1900 01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:17,280 Speaker 1: really elite journos. What what kind of ethics they often display? 1901 01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:20,439 Speaker 1: So we're we're in roll call. I'm sorry I got 1902 01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:23,960 Speaker 1: a little distracted. Um, but as for the swoop, the 1903 01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:25,639 Speaker 1: swoop is out of control. I don't know. I might 1904 01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:27,760 Speaker 1: have to go. The producer Mark has a has a 1905 01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:29,760 Speaker 1: buzz cut, and I might be heading. I might be 1906 01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:33,120 Speaker 1: following in his footsteps. Yeah, my wife just cut my hair. Like, 1907 01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:35,960 Speaker 1: I'm pretty much balled right now. There we go. Hey, 1908 01:39:36,080 --> 01:39:37,080 Speaker 1: how long did it take you when you get to 1909 01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:39,080 Speaker 1: the shower to dry that dry that bad boy? Like 1910 01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:41,920 Speaker 1: half a second? Yeah, that's where I thought. You need 1911 01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:45,360 Speaker 1: a blow dryer and all those tools, don't you. Oh yeah, 1912 01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:49,800 Speaker 1: all the king's horses and all the king's men. You're in. 1913 01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:57,679 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I will say 1914 01:39:57,720 --> 01:40:00,360 Speaker 1: I did cook a lot over the weekend, and we're 1915 01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:05,679 Speaker 1: now going to uh, we'll start referring to my special 1916 01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:10,040 Speaker 1: the executive chef of all things Buck and Quarantine is 1917 01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:14,200 Speaker 1: my girlfriend, current lady lady friend, who we can refer 1918 01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:17,120 Speaker 1: to now and code name as snow Princess because that 1919 01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:18,720 Speaker 1: is in fact what I call her. Because she's from 1920 01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:22,000 Speaker 1: a very snowy, very cold part of the country and 1921 01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:27,400 Speaker 1: snow Princess and I made amazing food this weekend and 1922 01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:30,800 Speaker 1: we made so I'm always in charge of the red 1923 01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:33,240 Speaker 1: meat and the and the protein. At least I shouldn't 1924 01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:34,920 Speaker 1: say always in charge, but that's my favorite thing to 1925 01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:37,080 Speaker 1: be She's gonna yell me for saying that. I'm just kidding, honey, 1926 01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:39,080 Speaker 1: but that's my favorite thing to be in charge of. 1927 01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:42,400 Speaker 1: She's in charge of all the fancy. I mean, she 1928 01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:45,280 Speaker 1: made chocolate chip cookies from scratch, the best choco hip 1929 01:40:45,320 --> 01:40:48,320 Speaker 1: cookies I've ever had. She made burnette sauce for the burgers. 1930 01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:51,800 Speaker 1: She made risotto with shrimp. I mean I helped a 1931 01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:53,800 Speaker 1: little bit chopping some onions, but she made risotto with 1932 01:40:53,840 --> 01:40:56,519 Speaker 1: shrimp and calamari. And I'm just gonna say this. Producer Mark, 1933 01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:59,360 Speaker 1: I posted some photos of this for Team Buck to see, 1934 01:40:59,680 --> 01:41:02,800 Speaker 1: and the food was all delicious. A lot of Team 1935 01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:05,400 Speaker 1: Buck talking smack about calamari. Where do you fall on 1936 01:41:05,400 --> 01:41:09,840 Speaker 1: the scale about liking it? Yes, so a funny story 1937 01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:12,000 Speaker 1: about calamari When I was a child. You know those 1938 01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:13,960 Speaker 1: buffets in New York City where you just get like 1939 01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:16,479 Speaker 1: a container, you put a bunch in and then your 1940 01:41:16,479 --> 01:41:19,240 Speaker 1: way if you pay that much money. I got a 1941 01:41:19,240 --> 01:41:21,040 Speaker 1: bunch when I was a child and thought it was 1942 01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:24,040 Speaker 1: onion rings. So then I eat it and I was disgusted. 1943 01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:27,639 Speaker 1: But then later on in life I try calamari. It's 1944 01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:31,120 Speaker 1: not bad. It's not bad on calamari, like it's not something. 1945 01:41:31,200 --> 01:41:34,200 Speaker 1: If it's made, well, fine, I will eat it. I 1946 01:41:34,280 --> 01:41:36,880 Speaker 1: like it. If it's made portally, you know that you're 1947 01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:39,559 Speaker 1: eating octopus. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna call out 1948 01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:42,120 Speaker 1: team Buck right now. A lot of calamari haters out 1949 01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:44,639 Speaker 1: there in this audience across the country. I was surprised 1950 01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:48,320 Speaker 1: to see all that shrimp. They're cool. What they're cool? Shrimp, calamari, 1951 01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:50,960 Speaker 1: no dice, unaccepted. There are some people I know that 1952 01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:53,040 Speaker 1: if it was in the water, they don't want it. 1953 01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:56,280 Speaker 1: It's disgusting to them. Really Yeah, well that to me, 1954 01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:59,519 Speaker 1: I've never come across that. That's that's crazy. What is 1955 01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:03,160 Speaker 1: by the way, with with the kosher, it's just no shellfish, 1956 01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:06,080 Speaker 1: right yeah, no other fish okay, but no shellfish yet 1957 01:42:06,080 --> 01:42:08,240 Speaker 1: that's what I thought. I do not keep kosher. I 1958 01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:12,640 Speaker 1: love shrimp, yeah, shrimp plot I mean, shellfish is my 1959 01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:17,040 Speaker 1: favorite of the fish. So I'm one of those, Andy, 1960 01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:18,760 Speaker 1: but I like to share it because I don't want 1961 01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:22,920 Speaker 1: to be shellfish. Oh yeah, I deserve that. Hey, I 1962 01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:25,200 Speaker 1: was a load for the for the well, actually I 1963 01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:28,040 Speaker 1: wasn't alone this week. Let's let's a lie. Uh. I 1964 01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:31,400 Speaker 1: was gonna say, I have no I have no I 1965 01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:35,400 Speaker 1: have no justification for that bad joke, Andy, Hey buck, 1966 01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:39,360 Speaker 1: I have an opinion on meats. There we go, perfect timing. 1967 01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:41,479 Speaker 1: You always talk about the best steaks, but I think 1968 01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:44,000 Speaker 1: lamb chops are where it's really at. They're like tiny 1969 01:42:44,040 --> 01:42:47,880 Speaker 1: tea bones, but twice the meaty succulents. Also, mustache with 1970 01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:50,680 Speaker 1: no beard is definitely a bad call. Unless you can 1971 01:42:50,760 --> 01:42:55,719 Speaker 1: grow a huge, bushy, old timey mustache, She'll tie from Ohio. Well, 1972 01:42:55,800 --> 01:42:57,680 Speaker 1: I can tell you Andy, that is very unlikely. I 1973 01:42:57,720 --> 01:43:03,360 Speaker 1: can grow a bushy, old timey mustash. And as for lamb, 1974 01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:07,880 Speaker 1: I love lambchops. I love lampshops. I'm I don't know. 1975 01:43:07,920 --> 01:43:10,320 Speaker 1: I've actually never made them for myself. I feel like 1976 01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:13,720 Speaker 1: there's always some frenching or something you have to do. 1977 01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:15,800 Speaker 1: You have to like cut the fat off, and I 1978 01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:18,599 Speaker 1: guess the butcher can do that for you. But where 1979 01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:21,240 Speaker 1: are you on Lamb chops producer Mark? I love Lamb chops, 1980 01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:23,280 Speaker 1: but like you, I've never made them myself. But I 1981 01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:27,000 Speaker 1: love Greek cuisine. So I did make veal shop recently 1982 01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:29,680 Speaker 1: for the Snow Princess and myself, and it was phenomenal. 1983 01:43:29,880 --> 01:43:31,519 Speaker 1: I did do that. But you're gonna get some people 1984 01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:37,040 Speaker 1: not liking that. Buck. Oh, I didn't mean veal. I'man 1985 01:43:37,520 --> 01:43:44,320 Speaker 1: adult cow because don't eat veal. My bad. Just yeah, 1986 01:43:44,439 --> 01:43:49,120 Speaker 1: let's move on, shall we.
