WEBVTT - Was NYC's Subway The Covid Super-spreader? 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:15.640 You are entering the freedom hunt. The battle to reopen 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.959 America is underway. South Carolina has got its stores and 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.239 beaches coming back into action soon. Florida has opened some 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.000 of its beaches. Meanwhile, New Jersey cops are using drones 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:28.080 to spy on you in your backyard. Was the NYC 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:32.400 subway the super spreader of COVID nineteen Sweden says its 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:37.360 approaches working. Paycheck protection, however, is failing an oral hated 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:41.000 journals too. That and more coming up. This is the 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.199 Buck Sexon Show, where the mission or mission is to 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:50.400 decode what really matters with passionable intelligence. Make no mistake 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.080 a great here, a great American Again, the Buck Sexon 0:00:54.160 --> 0:01:03.960 Show begins. He's a great guy. No, We've already built 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:09.240 sufficient testing capacity nationwide for states to begin their reopenings, 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.280 and I think you'll be hearing a lot about reopenings 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.160 in the coming weeks and months. Most excitingly, in the 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.479 coming weeks, I think you're going to see some very 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:24.440 dramatic steps taken and very safely. We're putting safety first. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.640 We may be opening, but we're putting safety first. Welcome 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.400 the Buck sac and share everybody. Hope you had a 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.640 good weekend. Thank you so much for being here. All Right, 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:35.040 this is where we are now as a country, the 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:39.479 single most important issue for all of us to decide, 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.160 and we all must have a voice in this one. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.200 We all have to have an opinion. We should share 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:48.160 our opinions, we should have our voices heard. When do 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.880 we get to start living our lives again, at least 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.400 in part. I'm not saying we get to go back 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.880 to normal tomorrow or next month, or at this rate 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.680 even next year. I'm just saying we have to start 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:06.320 pushing for normalcy, start moving in that direction, start deciding 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.679 that this is something that we're going to do, even if, yes, 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.360 it is imperfect and there are risks attached to it. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.880 I've been saying all along. People need to understand life 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:20.080 has risk. You leave, you leave your apartment, bad things 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:21.840 or your house Bess sor I'm in New York's always 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.560 think of apartments. Bad things can happen to you. I'm 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:29.160 reminded of the scene in the movie Heat, which I 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:33.440 think just had its twentieth anniversary in the last couple 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:37.760 of weeks, where al Pacino tells a would be informant 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:41.240 a snitch. In fact, either he had killed walking your doggie. 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.520 And he bangs on the table because in the classic 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.919 Pacino moment, he overacts a little bit. I like Pecito, 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.720 but sometimes a little too far. But it is true. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.639 You can, in fact, it killed walking your doggie, which 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.160 I'm reminded of every time I go outside walking too. Lula. 0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:00.519 Here in the midst of what we're seeing as a 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.480 pandemic worse in New York than anywhere else in the 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.640 country and perhaps even the world, I want to break 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:09.120 down for you. I finally saw a paper that looks 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.760 at how the subway system may very well have been 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:17.080 the huge negative factor here for New York. Many of 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:18.680 us have thought that all along. I've been telling my 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.440 family members that, And there's a lot to unpack there. 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.200 It means a lot for you. If you live in Nebraska, 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.359 what's up kfab Omaha. If you live in Austin, what's 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.880 up KLBJ Austin. If you live in San Diego or Denver, 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:36.720 or you name it, and you hear about the New 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.240 York City subway research that's been done now on the 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.400 spread of this virus, you might say, Okay, that makes sense, 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.240 and we don't have four million people a day getting 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.960 on the subway, so or four million subway rides, I 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.240 should say, So maybe we're in a very different situation 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.720 than New York. So that's important. Even if you're not 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.560 in the Tri state area, it's important for you to 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.760 hear that analysis. I really dug into it over the weekend. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.920 Lines up with what I've thought all along. It all 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:03.520 makes to those of us who know the city, it 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.720 all makes sense, and it will be I think encouraging 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.520 for you in other parts of the country who are saying, 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.800 hold on a second, why can't we open of be 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.120 encouraging for you to hear that if you don't have 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.159 a mass transportation system that the city is completely reliant 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.120 on you are in that that is why you are 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.559 in and will continue to be in much better shape 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.839 than we are here in New York. So, as I 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:29.039 was saying, we have a lot to dig into today, 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:33.320 but my biggest, my biggest initial takeaway for all of 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:37.240 you is that we are getting a reminder here that 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.320 we are seeing something that many of us have known 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.640 all along was going to be a reality. But we're 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:48.040 only one month into this lockdown and we're getting constant 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.920 reminders that even during a crisis or perhaps especially during one. 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.200 Allowing the government to determine the extent of its own 0:04:56.360 --> 0:05:02.960 powers is a very bad idea. This is a lesson 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.520 we have seen countless times throughout history. But we always 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.440 we always forget it when we're scared, don't we. We 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.560 forget at the moment that it seems we need the 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.520 government to keep us safe and warm, we need the 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.240 government to protect us. The government is always going to 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.880 disappoint you, and I need you to remember, folks, this 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.520 is not about Trump right now, meaning that this analysis 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.520 that I'm giving you on the ineptitude of government, Trump 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.440 is better at what he is doing at his position 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:36.520 in government than other presidents. True, but there are still 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.520 limitations of government. I think even the President himself would 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.400 admit that, although you know he has a very high 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.520 opinion of his ability, still there are going to be 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.280 shortcomings for the government. The paycheck protection program. I spoke 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.000 to a very good friend of mine over the weekend 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.080 who walked me through in detail what his company is 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.960 going through right now. One hundred thousand dollars of payroll 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.000 they can't meet for the next couple of months. Do 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:03.839 you think they're and any money from paycheck protection zero dollars, 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.600 no money left in a piggybank. Harvard got to think 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.960 it was nine million, and they've got a forty billion 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.159 dollar endowment. And the government turns around and tell us 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.800 people who are getting who are having to lay off 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.440 their employees, lay off there the people that have built 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.800 these companies, Oh no, sorry, there's no money left for you. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.640 How is there no money left? And then we're talking 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.120 about a five hundred billion dollars bailout fund for state 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.400 and local governments. My friends, here's really where we are 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:34.640 on this. The government has shown us exactly why we 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.760 need limitations on its authority, limitations on its power, why 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.719 we have a bill of rights. We've been reminded of 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.800 all this and just the last four to six weeks, 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.960 because you see, the tradeoff isn't give away your rights 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.680 and we'll make everything better. That's not the tradeoff that 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:55.880 government makes. The tradeoff, especially during a crisis, is give 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.839 away or we will take away your rights, and then 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.800 the thing that we promise you in return will be 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:07.400 delivered as a half measure and won't be nearly as good, 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.400 or as safe or as helpful as we claim it 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.960 will be. And the moment you have a problem with it, 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.360 We'll tell you. Shut up, peasant, it's a crisis. Go 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.480 back inside. Go look at your empty bank account and 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.880 your children, and your wife and your husband, and your 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.760 aunts and uncles and whoever else you're supporting, your grandkids. 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.000 Go back and look them in the eye and say sorry, 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.400 can't do anything about this. The government told me no work, 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:41.680 stay indoors. It's getting worse and worse here in New York. 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.960 The situation with the virus is getting better, but the 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.520 overreach and the insanity of the liberal mentality is unfortunately 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.200 growing with every day. Oh wow, you mean that we 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.400 can tell people do as I say or else with 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:59.560 any aspect of their life. Anything. You can't go outside 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.600 and things unless we say you can. You can't leave 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.200 your home unless we tell you can. We can put 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:09.560 you under virtual house arrest while you're healthy and have 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:13.480 done nothing wrong because we say so. You ever have 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.600 the experience that I've had this in in DC many times. 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.520 I've had it in New York too, where there will 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:26.680 be some motorcade for any president doesn't matter. And the sometimes, 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:27.960 and I will say it, I have friends who are 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.720 in the Secret Service. I do, but sometimes a Secret 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:38.360 Service can be deeply imperious and jerks when it comes 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.280 to things like this. I've I've had it happened to 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.640 me a few times where they're unnecessarily snippy when you 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.480 ask Sarah, you know, can I can I cross this? 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.800 You know, I'm always very polite to anybody who's doing 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.840 their job, trust me. But you know you've had that moment, 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.360 you know, can I can I cross the street? I've 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:54.800 got to get to work or how long will it be? 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.839 Or I'm gonna call my boss? You know, quiet stay 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:00.800 here till we say so. I mean, I've had that 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.240 interaction with secrets there. I remember once one of them 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.839 told me to move to the left and I moved 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.720 to the left and he said your other left, And 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.760 I said, well, brilliant man, you said left, and that's 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:14.720 my left if you wanted your left. You know, but 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:16.440 this is the stuff you deal with the Secret Service. 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.040 Sometimes some of them are great. I'm not. I'm not 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.839 I'm saying, but I've had a few. But it's a 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.559 little bit like the Praetorian Guard telling you this is 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.840 the way it is. Can't get home too bad. We 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.840 need a six block perimeter for the president. You know, 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.280 we need to have a battalion's worth of agents and 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.920 police and everybody else around with machine guns and everything, 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.040 just in case it's absurd. What I mean really is 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.840 is are the North Koreans para dropping into Central Park 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.240 right now? Get out of here. It's out of control. 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.200 Anyone who's living in DC knows. And you sit there 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.360 and you realize, wow, so this is what really are 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.880 my rights here? Can the Secret Service tell me that 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:53.760 I can't cross the street, that I have to stand 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.760 on this corner for six hours, can't go to the bathroom, 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.880 can't do anything. I'm stuck here, I can't can I'm 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.600 I'm effectively under arrest because they say so. Now, some 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.360 of you may have had this experience before I have, 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:08.880 And you say, what really are the limitations of the 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.160 government's authority here? And you start to realize that there's 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:15.200 that part of you, that deeply human yearning for autonomy 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.520 and freedom and respect, And you say, hold on a second, 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.480 what is really the justification for this? Oh? Because you know, 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.920 the presidential the vice president or whoever it is, is 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.959 less safe by what me The former CIA officer who's 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.240 trying to get home through his apartment, who has no backpack, 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.760 no weapon, no nothing on him whatsoever. Like, what are 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.840 we really doing here? You got to ask yourself. But 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.040 we're all getting a little taste of that feeling right 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.000 now of stay where we tell you you didn't do 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.959 anything wrong, shut up and do what you're told. This 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.360 is this is now the argument that you're getting, especially 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:54.200 when oh the data, my friends, and I'm I'm not 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.600 going to forget all the journals running around. You just 0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.560 want grandma to die. No, the data shows that social 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.839 distancing and basic precautions, of course helpful for preventing the 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:08.920 spread of COVID nineteen or any respiratory disease. Locking down, 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.040 staying at home, can't go to work, even with mask 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.080 and gloves on, even if you're young and healthy and 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:20.040 at low risk, school shut down. The data does not 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.640 show these to be good ideas. And you know what's 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.280 going to happen. The government is going to want to 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.959 just move past this as quickly as possible in some places, 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:28.920 and other places are going to double down even more 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.720 because the longer they extend the lockdown, the harder will 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.200 be to look at the data as we have it 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.400 right now and say, hold on a second, you guys 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.720 are doing exactly the right You're doing the wrong thing here. 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.760 We start to loosen, we start to open up a 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.760 little bit, and we see that there's no big spike 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.480 in cases. Well, why have we been doing this for 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.679 over a month? And I mean in New York, it's 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:55.280 really six weeks. You've been on de facto lockdown. But 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.760 if you ever have a question about what the government's 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.240 really like, just remember right now in New Jersey there's 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.480 law enforcement that are they're using drones, drones that I 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.280 believe are manufactured in China. So just put that in 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.800 your pipe and smoke it. You got drones being manufactured 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:18.319 and they're being used to spy on people in their 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:23.040 own backyards to see if they're engaging in sufficient social distancing. 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.760 If you had written this in some kind of dystopian 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:34.880 novel about the transition to an authoritarian technocratic society or 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.640 technology based society, if you had written that, people say, oh, 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.319 come on, an, we're already there. They're doing it, and 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.719 then they're proud of it. Producer Mark, do we even 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:46.320 have the Do we have that clip? I sent it 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:47.680 to you last minute. It's all right if we don't 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.240 have it. No, Yeah, whatever. There's a clip of a 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.199 local newscaster in New Jersey here. I'll tell you I'm 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.320 just as good at it as a newscaster. Oh, look 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.880 at these drones that they're using to enforce social distancing. 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.640 Guess what that should put all of us on edge. 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.000 They're gonna send drones to spy on you in your 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.760 backyard to make sure you're not hanging out with what 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.320 too many family members? You've got twelve people in the backyard. 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.200 This is what they're really doing. We don't even know 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.320 how many people in New York and New Jersey have 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.040 been infected psyology testing. Here's what I can tell you 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.320 about zerology testing. We don't know the real numbers yet. 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.959 It's very hard, and you're trying to extrapolate out to 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.360 a much broader sample, a much broader size population than 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:25.960 what you're dealing with in the sample. But guess what 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.240 all serology testing, and I'll give you some of the 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.800 numbers on all of its shows that there are vast 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.800 numbers of people beyond the established cases who have been 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.360 exposed to and have COVID nineteen eighty bodies. It's at 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.080 least ten x, maybe more like fifty to seventy five 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.920 x the actual established cases in some places. So there 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:47.360 are a lot of people that are being told stay 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.680 home who have effectively they don't know it, yet have 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.839 effectively zero risk of getting or spreading this disease, unless 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:56.480 it turns out you can't be immune from it even 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.200 if you get it. And if that's the case, my friends, 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.960 we got big problems. But I don't think that's that 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:05.480 would be specific to this respiratory infection, and why would 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.440 that be Why would that be the case, unless, of 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.360 course somebody was tinkering with us somewhere in the lab. 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.320 But that's a conversation for another time, and I do 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.520 mean that we will have that conversation another time. We 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.760 limit government authority, regardless of how benevolent they think their 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:25.920 intentions are. We maintain individual autonomy, We maintain our freedoms 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.680 on our right to choose how we live our day 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.800 to day lives, not you know, infringing on other people, 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:35.960 not stealing their stuff, not hurting them. But what we 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.600 see here is that the government that's not sufficient do 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:44.560 as we say, based on faulty data, based on panic 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:50.000 because the liberal journal establishment, the Democratic Party, and yes, 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:54.040 much of the Republican Party got dragged into a moment 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.600 of political panic, and so all the rest of us 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.640 were told stay home, do as we say, or else. Sorry, 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.600 you don't have a paycheck, We'll get you a paycheck. Oh, 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.960 we can't get you the paycheck because we're too stupid 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.920 to shovel as the government. We're too stupid to shovel 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.120 your own money out of a helicopter fast enough to 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:15.600 you after we've told you you can't work. Welcome to government, 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:19.560 my friends. It's always been this way. We're just seeing 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.680 once again why this will never change. It's a lesson 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.880 that we keep forgetting, and we are learning it once again. 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.480 You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:40.760 and Show Podcast. New Yorkers. You have been extraordinary at 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.560 social distancing, and let me tell you, it has taken 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.200 every fiber of our beings to figure out how to 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:50.160 do this. Because we're warm, emotional people. We're used to 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.800 being close to each other, we're used to being packed 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.080 into subway cars, and we've had to do the exact 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.960 opposite and figure out how to keep distance. It's not 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.440 natural for us, it's not normal for us, but done it. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.920 You've done an amazing job. Now, look, thank you everyone 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:05.560 who's done it the right way, but we still know 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.000 there's some people need to get the message, and that 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.880 means sometimes making sure the enforcement is there to educate 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.200 people and make clear we've got to have social distancing. 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.400 So now it is easier than ever. When you see 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.000 a crowd, when you see a line that's not distanced, 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.360 when you see a supermarket that's too crowded, anything, you 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.280 can report it right away so we can get help 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.600 there to fix the problem. And now it's as simple 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:34.200 as taking a photo. The Stazi. We're famous in East 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:38.560 Germany for having informants everywhere. In fact, this was also 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:43.680 true in the Soviet Union. But the Stasi really applied 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:50.880 German Prussian efficiency to the process of miking up, putting 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.920 a microphone in every room in every home in society, 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.360 and turning everyone into an informant. And in fact, there 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.240 was a hero within the Soviet Union. I forget his name. 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:02.960 Now some of you will be tweeting an app or 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.000 texting me I'm sure, or sending me messages in a 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.879 moment about it. But who was a hero held up 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:13.480 as a boy who ranted on his parents to the 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.080 secret police in the Soviet Union. You know what a 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.280 great hero that was. Now I understand that this is 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.840 unlike the Stazi and the secret police and the KGB 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.639 and all the rest of it, in that no one's 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.520 going to get a photo taken of them social distance, 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:31.520 lacking the proper social distance outside of a grocery store, 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.560 and be locked up for a long time. But businesses 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.760 are already under tremendous pressure. People are under a lot 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:40.439 of pressure right now, and we're gonna encourage one another 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:44.439 to take photos and snitch. Here's the problem. You know 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.680 Garcetti in La you know there's that whole Snitches get 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.840 Stitches a campaign which was bad, which was about people 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.959 not speaking out and telling the cops when someone commits 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.880 a crime. Well, Garcetti has a sort of snitches get 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.280 riches campaign where if you snitch on somebody for not 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.399 social distance or for a business being open, you get money, 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.680 you get a reward, a bounty system in place. There 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:07.840 are so many problems I have with this, my friends. 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.320 And as I was saying before, it's a reminder that 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.920 government always overreaches if you let it, that government always 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.560 wants more power and more authority. The people in charge 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:18.639 think they're smarter and wiser and better than they are. 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:20.520 That's just the nature of government. That's why our government 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:25.560 is built on restraining power. But the things that we're 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.320 being told to do, now, some of them, I'm seeing 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:32.000 people running all over New York jogging, I mean running, 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:37.520 jogging with faces masks on. This is crazy. You don't 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.359 need to jog with a face mask on. You're not 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.440 going to infect anyone when you're jogging because you can 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:47.040 maintain more than six feet of distance if you're jogging 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.440 and they're all walking. Thanks for listening to the bus 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:54.359 sts and show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.640 at the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:03.240 You know, this is not about Democrats Republicans. This is 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:06.480 about a thing that hit our country, the likes of 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:10.560 which has never happened to us before. It shouldn't be 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.280 about democrat a Republican, but we know that the left 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.679 has already made it. So we know that they are 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:20.320 already doing everything they can to make sure that Donald 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.600 Trump is not president again because of this crisis that 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.840 he has blamed for, this crisis that it's viewed as 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:33.159 being his fault. It's on him Nancy Pelosi. I mean, 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.720 if you're wondering, am I am I exaggerating us? And 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.800 oh we'll get to Pelosi. Let them eat cake Pelosi, 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:43.120 or let them eat artisan ice cream. We'll get to her. 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.359 And just a little bit later on in the show 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:48.600 again on how little she seems to care about the 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:52.439 destruction that the delay, that she is the she is 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:56.679 the person, she is responsible for what that's doing to people. 0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:58.800 But here she is saying that this is really that 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:02.119 the virus is. You know, you hear people say stuff 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.600 like this, and then when I'll say, you know, on 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.920 Twitter or somewhere, I'll be like, hey, you know, Democrats, 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:08.880 stop saying it's Trump's fault. Is it who says it's 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:12.800 Trump's fault? I mean, basically the gay facto ahead of 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:16.639 the Democratic Party Nancy Pelosi, play clip nineteen. The second 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:23.000 bill was mask, Mask, Mask, and trying to facilitate the 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:28.640 personal protective equipment that we don't really have as much 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.960 as we need it when we needed it because the 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:35.000 President wouldn't do Defense Production Act. So the situation we're 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:38.440 in is largely of his making calling it a hoax, 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:42.200 saying would magically disappear, not calling upon the Defense Production 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:46.560 Act to protect the workers who are trying to save 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.520 lives as they risk their own lives in doing so. 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:54.040 Pelosi doesn't give a crap about workers. She doesn't. If 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:56.560 she did, how could she explain what she's doing right now, 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.679 holding up money to get people able to pay to 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:02.000 pay their workers so that payroll can continue to be 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:04.920 a source of support for millions of workers and their 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:08.679 families and the businesses that depend on them spending money. 0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:11.480 You know, no one's really thinking about the second and 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:13.959 third order effects of this shutdown right now. I mean, 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.080 a few people that I come across are, but for 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.679 the most part, my friends, good gosh, do you realize 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:23.600 how many businesses that exist that employ tens of thousands, 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:27.560 hundreds of thousands of people are They're not coming back 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:32.920 for perhaps years, if ever, I'm not just talking about 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:36.240 small businesses. What does anyone really think that the tourism 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:38.560 industry and the Caribbean is going to be in good shape? 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:40.960 Think of how many islands. I know this is that 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:44.879 we're not talking about generally American American territory here, but 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:47.720 think of how many people in the Caribbean, or how 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:51.000 many people on US soil that work in tourism industry 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:55.159 places down and you know South Beach in Miami and Etta, 0:21:55.920 --> 0:22:00.080 what's going to happen to them? The hotels are empty. 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:02.480 That means that means that there's no money to pay, 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.280 you know, the maids, the servers, the staff, the chefs, 0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:13.200 the bellhops, you name it, nobody no money. But but 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:16.640 Pelosi thinks the problem is that is Donald Trump. He's 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:18.520 trying to get money to them as fast as possible. Look, 0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:22.040 I think the problem is and I know that would 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.679 have it would have been the pressure they created on 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.880 this one. Now they finally had it. They finally had 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:29.520 the moment where they were able to get Trump to 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:34.159 go against his instincts. It's the truth. Trump wanted to 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:37.760 open start. I should say Trump wanted to allow the country. 0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:40.600 Let's be very specific here so that people can't twist 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:44.040 what I'm saying. Oh they'll do it anyway, jerks. But 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:48.960 Trump wanted to allow states to start moving toward greater 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:53.480 economic normalcy on Easter Sunday, remember that's what he said, 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:57.159 they were moving. That he should have that was the 0:22:57.240 --> 0:22:58.919 right move. That would have been the right move. But 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.840 oh my gosh, you know, he would have been you know, 0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:04.240 throwing Grahama off the rooftop. If he had done that, 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:06.280 I mean people would have just the media and the 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:10.639 Democrats and look, his own experts, his own public health experts, 0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:14.159 who have just have been just wrong, wrong and wrong 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:17.359 again on this one. Gee, thanks so much. You know, 0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:19.760 this is a bit a bit like when I was 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:21.520 in the CIA and we had to deal with the 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.800 reality of you know, we missed, we missed nine to eleven, 0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:28.159 and then afterwards, I mean I wasn't there when that happens. 0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:31.040 I can't blame me, but you know, we missed nine eleven, 0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:33.399 and then afterwards we're being asked to make all these 0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:36.840 assessments and calls about things like WMD we missed that 0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:39.800 one too. At what point? At what point do people 0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:41.359 have a right to say, I'm not sure that you 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:45.160 guys really know what you're doing. I'm not sure you're 0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:47.640 really good at judgment or making calls. Maybe you're good 0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:51.560 at providing basic information. Great, we've gotten that from our 0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:55.240 healthcare the healthcare policy people. Remember I'm always separating out 0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:59.359 frontline healthcare workers who are who are saving lives and 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.879 against the disease for individuals who desperately needed and that's fantastic, 0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:05.840 and that's why I'm screaming and cheering out my window 0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:10.800 every day. And then that the healthcare policy people who 0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:13.399 are the ones making determinations that affect the economy, that 0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:15.720 affect our lives, that affect the Bill of Rights and 0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:20.040 individual freedom and rights and federalism, and you know, those 0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:26.200 people at dad level not impressed. Folks not impressed. And 0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:28.760 I've seen so many conservatives that have just been like, 0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:32.720 it's not the flu. Thanks, that's really helpful. We know 0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:35.280 it's not the flu. What do we do about it? 0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:38.959 Hiding under the bed until the vaccine, which really for 0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:41.600 a lot of people started to feel like that that 0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:45.000 was what they wanted. That's insane. We can't do that. 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:50.120 The country's falling apart. Trump recognizes that Democrats. I look, 0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:52.480 there are there are a high level Democrats, Pelosi among them. 0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:54.399 Doesn't matter how much pain the country goes through, as 0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:56.920 long as Trump doesn't economic pain, as long as Trump 0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:59.359 doesn't win, they'll just come in and say, see what 0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:02.479 he did you, we'll fix it all. We'll fix it all. 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:05.040 Don't worry about it. We'll make everything better. Just put 0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:09.760 I mean, really, you know, here's the problem. With talking 0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:14.560 about Biden, They're they're forcing us into some form of 0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:19.480 rhetorical elder abuse here. You know, I've I've been around 0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:25.600 relatives who have started to have dementia and have one case, 0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:28.679 my great grandmother had really serious to mention. I remember, 0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:30.600 I remember her being really scared when I'd be a 0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:32.320 little kid to go visit her. I remember she didn't 0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:34.840 know who I was. And I've seen all that, and 0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:37.159 that's that's heartbreaking for anybody who's been around that and 0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:39.919 seen that with any family member. But we're also in 0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:43.760 this position where we're being told that somebody who clearly 0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:46.879 fades in and out of that kind of you know, 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:51.320 he lacks a certain mental precision these days with Joe 0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:55.560 Biden is supposed to be the person who is leading 0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:57.760 this country at a very we'll be leading this country 0:25:57.840 --> 0:26:01.200 relatively student at a very difficult time and making decisions 0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:03.440 that impact all of our lives, and we're not allowed 0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:06.440 to talk about that right where, you know that they're 0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:09.840 putting us in a position where you have someone who 0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:13.359 seems to be in the early stages of senility and 0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:15.640 I really mean this, he really seems that way. But 0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:18.280 you know, we don't want to we don't want to 0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:21.879 be dismissive. We're rude about anybody who's dealing with that 0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:25.399 actual problem the broader society. So it's almost like he 0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:28.720 becomes a He's going to have the same victim protection 0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:31.040 the Democrats use for so many other people. Right, he 0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:32.920 gets to go out and talk about how great he 0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:34.720 be in the government, how the lecture all of us 0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:37.119 about Trump is horrible. And if you say, hold on 0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:38.840 a second, this guy seems like he's in the early 0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:43.480 stages of having one too many senior moments, we could 0:26:43.520 --> 0:26:46.080 call it. Then then a lot of other people are 0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:48.560 gonna the Democrats are gonna trun and say to us, 0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:52.399 how dare you look at what you're saying? Do you 0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:55.000 not respect our seniors? Said no, I just you know. 0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:57.520 I mean, if it's amazing people will get up into 0:26:57.560 --> 0:27:01.080 their nineties and have led these incredibly full and amazing lives, 0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:04.080 that's great, and we should honor them and cherish them. 0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:06.800 I don't think we should make somebody who's ninety five president, 0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:08.960 for example, and I know Biden's not ninety five, but 0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:12.000 he's gonna be basically eighty. I don't think we should 0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:14.879 make somebody who's eighty the president. I even think Trump 0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:16.760 is bored aline on the age thing, but he's just 0:27:17.400 --> 0:27:20.639 he's some kind of I don't know. I mean, the 0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:24.800 guy's got an inhuman level of energy and vitality and 0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:28.640 health for someone his age. I've never I've never never 0:27:28.680 --> 0:27:31.680 seen Trump once, you know, Okay, I know I feel 0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:33.159 like it's too tire, he's out of it, or he 0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:36.040 gets unbelievable. I mean I feel that way sometimes I'm 0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:41.840 thirty Oh gosh, thirty eight almost forgot. But all right now, 0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:46.120 the Pelosi politicization effect here and what we're all going 0:27:46.160 --> 0:27:52.240 through as a result of this, my friends, The claims 0:27:52.280 --> 0:27:55.280 the Democrats are making here, they're gonna run out pretty 0:27:55.280 --> 0:27:57.960 soon of excuses that people can believe in good faith, 0:27:58.320 --> 0:28:00.960 and it will just become clear that they want to 0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.240 pile everything they can on the president, even though the 0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:06.600 states are primarily going to be making these decisions. This 0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:09.400 is where you're going to hear a lot about testing, 0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:12.600 the lines about testing, you know, Nancy Pelosi at a 0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:17.159 test test testing, You're gonna keep hearing people talk about this, well, 0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:20.280 what's an acceptable level of testing? And understand this too, 0:28:20.359 --> 0:28:23.800 that that whole system and this was coming from doctor Burkes, 0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:28.520 who's a long time public health policy person whom I've 0:28:28.560 --> 0:28:30.080 got to say, based in the briefings, I have more 0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:32.800 confidence in her than I do in Fauci at this point. 0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:36.119 But yeah, I'm sure they would say they agree on everything, 0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:37.840 but she just seems a little bit more squared away, 0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:42.120 they mean, than Faucci. Sometimes. She said that, look, we've 0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:45.240 completely changed the Trump administration has completely changed the ability 0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:48.640 to look for look for disease through the mechanisms in 0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:52.880 the testing system that we have. And here's what she's 0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:57.800 saying about that play fifteen. So first, I just want 0:28:57.800 --> 0:29:00.880 to remind everyone that four weeks ago we were working 0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:03.960 off of the pandemic platform that had been developed for 0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:07.920 pandemic FLUS, and we realized, and the President realized, that 0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:10.720 we had to change completely how we were doing testing. 0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:13.160 And that's why we brought in the diagnostic companies that 0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:16.080 really work on novel tests, and brought in the large 0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:18.080 commercial labs. And I think you could see from the 0:29:18.160 --> 0:29:21.520 diagrams yesterday that almost sixty percent of the test to 0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:24.040 date have been done by these large commercial labs. But 0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:28.240 we've also put out an additional seven platforms for additional 0:29:28.280 --> 0:29:31.480 tests to make it possible for hospitals to tests and 0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:35.440 clinics to test. So they've done a lot on this front, 0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:39.280 and I understand that there's this focus now on we 0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:41.920 can't really reopen until we have all the testing in place, 0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:44.200 to which I just say, we're talking about we don't 0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:46.160 know how far this has already spread, and we don't 0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:50.120 know how really how long the incubation period is, especially 0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:53.320 for people who are asymptomatic entirely. I'll get into the 0:29:53.320 --> 0:29:55.320 purology test that I've already been done that show there 0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:57.520 are a lot of people that have this disease or 0:29:57.600 --> 0:30:00.160 have had this disease, have no idea, they feel fine. 0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:03.240 I'm just gonna tell you right now, if you were 0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:04.640 to ask me, if you were to say, Buck, do 0:30:04.720 --> 0:30:07.640 you think you have antibodies to this? And I'm going 0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:09.760 to get the test as soon as I can, do 0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:12.960 you think you have antibodies to this? Would I would 0:30:13.000 --> 0:30:16.320 bet money that I do at this point, given how 0:30:16.400 --> 0:30:19.400 much time I've spent on the subway and been around 0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:21.400 people and been in places where I know there have 0:30:21.520 --> 0:30:25.560 been people who are one or two individuals removed from 0:30:25.600 --> 0:30:29.680 my immediate vicinity who had COVID nineteen. So yes, I 0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:31.760 think I probably Now I don't know. I'm just I'm 0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:34.560 taking a guess here, but my gut tells me that 0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:36.880 I think I've probably had this. We're being told that 0:30:36.960 --> 0:30:39.920 testing is the key, but keep in mind they don't 0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:43.880 testing to what degree the numbers. The details here matters, 0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:47.520 and that's why you've got Governor Ralph. I'm not sure 0:30:47.560 --> 0:30:49.800 if I was the one in the clan robe or 0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:55.040 in the black face Northam. Remember Democrat, folks. His excuse 0:30:55.120 --> 0:30:56.240 here is, I don't know if it was me in 0:30:56.280 --> 0:30:58.000 the clan robe or me in the black face. But 0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:02.600 you know, I get to still be governor of Virginia, 0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:07.560 a state that certainly has a history that would you'd 0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:12.200 understand there'd be a bit of elevated sensitivity about issues 0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:16.640 of race. But if you're a Democrat, you get a pass. 0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:20.040 Get a pass. He certainly got well. But here's what 0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:22.280 he says about testing plate too. The President and Vice 0:31:22.320 --> 0:31:24.800 President is saying over the past few days that the 0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:28.360 US has enough testing capacity for states to begin opening 0:31:28.360 --> 0:31:30.600 back up. If you feel you're ready to go into 0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:33.719 Phase one. Is at the case in Virginia, do you 0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:37.280 have enough tests to do the tests you need to do. Jack, 0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:40.680 that's just delusional to be making statements like that. We 0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:45.160 have been fighting every day for PPE and we've got 0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:48.960 some supplies now coming in. We've been fighting for testing. 0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:52.840 It's a it's not a straightforward test. We don't even 0:31:52.880 --> 0:31:55.520 have enough swabs, believe it or not, and we're ramping 0:31:55.520 --> 0:31:58.200 that up. But for the national level to say that 0:31:58.240 --> 0:32:01.680 we have what we need and to have no guidance 0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:05.640 to the state levels, it's just irresponsible because we're not 0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:09.200 there yet. Now. This guy, you know, he is an MD, 0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:12.160 which is also noteworthy, especially given what he says about 0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:14.840 what happens to a baby that survives an abortion, which 0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:16.640 we all heard him on radio, but we'll talk about 0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:20.960 that some other time. There's no such thing as enough 0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:23.920 testing for the Democrats, because this is going to be. 0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:26.240 What they're claiming now is that it's impossible for states, 0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:28.800 because a supply chain and other issues, to handle testing 0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:31.680 on their own. So any shortfall in testing is the 0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:34.480 federal government's fault, which means that it's Trump's fault, which 0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:37.240 means that in any state that there's any continuation not 0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:39.760 even have to be a spike, a continuation of COVID 0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:43.160 nineteen infections and deaths. It's Trump's fault because of the 0:32:43.240 --> 0:32:45.640 lack of testing that states couldn't handle, and they were 0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:49.440 begging the federal government for it. That is the political attack. 0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:53.400 That's what they're going to do, even though what's enough testing? 0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:59.320 Nobody has the answer. You're in the freedom hunt. This 0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:06.280 is the Sexton Show podcast right now. Donald Trump is 0:33:06.320 --> 0:33:09.320 not doing anything to help my city back on its feet. 0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:11.200 How am I going to pay for basic services? How 0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:13.440 am I going to pay for first responders? How am 0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:16.400 I going to have a restart of my economy if 0:33:16.440 --> 0:33:19.360 my city's going broke? And I know it's happening all 0:33:19.360 --> 0:33:23.760 over the country. You're hearing mayors Republican and Democrat, talked 0:33:23.760 --> 0:33:26.080 to them saying, we're not going to be able to 0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:28.080 make it if we don't get help from the federal 0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:31.840 government because we've just seen a hit on our budgets, 0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:33.720 a hit on our cities, a hit on our people 0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:39.040 that was unestimable, and Donald Trump is silent. Wait a second, 0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:42.719 you mean that last week it was governors and mayors 0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:45.800 to some extent, But governors have all the power. Trump 0:33:45.800 --> 0:33:48.800 has none of the power. Now it's oh my gosh, 0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:50.560 we're all in a sinking ship. We need the federal 0:33:50.600 --> 0:33:53.320 government to give us lots of money. Well, I've got 0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:55.560 to say, you know, maybe it would be useful for 0:33:55.600 --> 0:33:58.600 the states to actually have to live within their budgets 0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:00.560 and live with the realities of what they decided to 0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:02.200 do in different places. I'm not saying there shouldn't be 0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:03.880 any rescue funds, there shouldn't be any help from the 0:34:03.880 --> 0:34:06.320 federal government, but it is worth taking a step back 0:34:06.360 --> 0:34:10.000 to say, well, why why wouldn't a state continue the 0:34:10.040 --> 0:34:13.360 lockdown as long as possible, keeping them keep the lockdown 0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:15.840 for ninety days, one hundred and twenty days the federal 0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:18.280 and then just turn around into the federal government. You know, money, please, 0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:20.640 we want money. We're gonna pay all the people. Well, 0:34:20.920 --> 0:34:22.879 the problem this is, and we're gonna talk about the 0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.920 paycheck Protection program, which so far, my friends, I know, 0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:28.040 you know, look, I'm going to always tell you the truth. 0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.240 I know the Trump administrations running the paycheck protection program 0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:34.320 with Congress. Remember Congress appropriates the fund that Trump is 0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:37.239 the Trump Administration's putting it out there. So far, it's 0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:40.279 a massive it's a it's a massively insufficient it's not 0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:43.680 a failure. It is a massively insufficient program, which is 0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:46.120 clear because they need two hundred fifty billion more dollars 0:34:46.440 --> 0:34:49.520 two hundred and fifty billion more. To Deblasio's point, you 0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:53.200 know what states in localities one now a five hundred 0:34:53.560 --> 0:34:56.759 billion dollar bailout fund. My friends, we are going to 0:34:56.800 --> 0:35:01.080 spend six trillion, eight trillion who knows, to try to 0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:03.600 get us out of this hole. We can't do this, 0:35:04.480 --> 0:35:07.960 it doesn't work. We are putting. By doing this stuff, 0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:11.640 you're pushing closer and closer to that cliff, at which 0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:16.480 point there is a collapse of our financial system because 0:35:16.480 --> 0:35:20.160 the debt that we've accrued is completely unsustainable and people panic. 0:35:20.320 --> 0:35:22.360 So we have a virus panic that could be followed 0:35:22.360 --> 0:35:25.560 by the financial panic unless we start getting a handle 0:35:25.560 --> 0:35:27.560 and all this stuff, and we can't just have the 0:35:27.600 --> 0:35:31.440 federal government writing endless checks for everything. Thanks for listening 0:35:31.440 --> 0:35:34.880 to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on 0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:40.920 Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, 0:35:40.920 --> 0:35:43.160 what it would do is something that we've been requesting 0:35:43.200 --> 0:35:46.160 for the last two weeks, more funding for the small 0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:49.200 business program. This business program has worked very well, more 0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:53.360 than one point six million businesses requested the money to 0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:57.320 pay their employees to pay their rent. Unfortunately, Nancy Pelosi 0:35:57.400 --> 0:36:00.200 has held that up for the last two weeks. We 0:36:00.239 --> 0:36:02.279 have watched and the one question I have watching her 0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:06.240 on Sunday Show named me one productive thing speaker Pelosi 0:36:06.280 --> 0:36:09.920 has accomplished in this pandemic. When President Trump in January 0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:13.600 thirty first put in the band from China, February twenty fourth, 0:36:13.880 --> 0:36:16.640 she asked people to gather together in San Francisco, she 0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:18.960 actually fought the band. When we wanted to put the 0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:22.279 Cares Act together, she came in held it up. Now 0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:25.200 we had a small business program working, She's now held 0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:28.879 up the money. There's seven hundred thousand small business applications 0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:31.799 in right now trying to keep their doors open. Last 0:36:31.800 --> 0:36:35.399 week we watch five million people new numbers for unemployment. 0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:38.440 How many more millions of Pelosi's layoffs will we have 0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:42.080 to endure before She'll put people before politics even at 0:36:42.080 --> 0:36:44.200 this moment to get this agreement. We could have been 0:36:44.200 --> 0:36:47.959 done yesterday, but the Democrats continue to hold up even 0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:51.799 though we have agreed to all the numbers. Okay, let's 0:36:51.880 --> 0:36:54.840 keep it real. Nancy Pelosi is a disaster. We know 0:36:54.960 --> 0:37:00.200 that unethical, disgraceful, a liar, you know, just just your 0:37:00.239 --> 0:37:02.880 adjective that it's all true. Nancy Pelosi is the worst. 0:37:02.920 --> 0:37:05.280 She's the worst. I don't say that that every Democrat. 0:37:05.320 --> 0:37:07.840 There's some Democrats that aren't the worst. Nancy Pelosi is 0:37:07.880 --> 0:37:12.280 the worst, all right. Now, she has made this whole 0:37:12.320 --> 0:37:15.200 process of getting money to people who remember, this is 0:37:15.239 --> 0:37:17.479 not a free market thing. This is the government says 0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:19.719 you are not allowed to work anymore. You are not 0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:23.160 allowed to and we and the government then is stepping 0:37:23.200 --> 0:37:26.399 in to say we will essentially float your money because 0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:29.160 it's the money of we, the American people to you. 0:37:29.160 --> 0:37:30.920 You know, this is like getting an advance from your 0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:33.480 employer almost, right, Well, we'll put money in your hands 0:37:33.760 --> 0:37:36.479 because we're the ones telling you can't work. Right, that's 0:37:36.520 --> 0:37:39.080 on them. There are millions of people who would have 0:37:39.080 --> 0:37:41.879 continued to do their jobs in states that have very 0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:46.000 small COVID nineteen problems if it weren't for the lockdown order. Right, 0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:50.800 so we've already established that Pelosi is a disaster. Pelosi 0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:53.520 cannot be trusted on any of this, even when people 0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:58.000 are really suffering enormously. You know, she's too busy talking 0:37:58.000 --> 0:37:59.960 about you know, test t test take testing. This is 0:38:00.160 --> 0:38:02.879 a big thing, play eleven. So we're way late on it, 0:38:02.960 --> 0:38:05.360 and that is a failure. The president gets an f 0:38:05.800 --> 0:38:10.400 a failure on the testing, but fauci, if it is 0:38:10.440 --> 0:38:13.319 done profitly, it hasn't been And I think when they 0:38:13.440 --> 0:38:16.759 puts it in if it's done, is an admission that 0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:20.080 it hasn't been done. You know where the big failure 0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:24.759 was in testing the CDC, That's where the failure was. 0:38:24.800 --> 0:38:27.880 Initially they had a crap test that didn't work that 0:38:27.960 --> 0:38:31.000 they sent out all over the place. That really hurt 0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:34.200 getting you know, early information about how fast of our spreading. 0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:36.080 But you know, Pelosi's going to blame the president. Of 0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:38.640 course she does. She always does. That's that's really herr. 0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:42.719 Her goals are just to undermine what is all that 0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:45.080 is good and decent and worthwhile in the Republic at 0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:49.040 every opportunity, and she excels at that. Oh she also 0:38:49.080 --> 0:38:55.000 wants to tell you that she didn't give you bad advice, 0:38:55.080 --> 0:38:57.080 you the American people bad advice by saying, yeah, if're 0:38:57.120 --> 0:38:59.279 in the San Francisco area, make sure you go to 0:38:59.360 --> 0:39:03.160 that Chinese These lunar new year's celebration. A great place 0:39:03.200 --> 0:39:07.320 to hang out, right, and let's say early February, great stuff, 0:39:07.480 --> 0:39:10.560 great place to be. Why did Pelosi do that? Play ten? 0:39:10.920 --> 0:39:14.440 If the President underplayed the threat in the early days, 0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:18.399 Speaker Pelosi, didn't you as well? Know what we're trying 0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:21.120 to do is to end the discrimination, the stigma that 0:39:21.239 --> 0:39:26.000 was going out against the Asian American community. And in fact, 0:39:26.040 --> 0:39:29.360 if you will look the recordable show that our Chinatown 0:39:29.400 --> 0:39:34.600 has been a model of containing and presenting the virus. 0:39:34.640 --> 0:39:37.279 So I'm confidence in our folks there and thought it 0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:40.360 was necessary to offset some of the things that the 0:39:40.400 --> 0:39:43.960 President and others were saying about Asian Americans and making 0:39:44.000 --> 0:39:48.360 them a target, a target of violence across the country. 0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:51.920 And Seid, that's forgive me, don't you think. Don't you 0:39:52.040 --> 0:39:56.000 think that when you're out walking without any mass I 0:39:56.120 --> 0:39:59.480 understand this is February, not April when this happened, and 0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:03.080 saying that there's no threat, it's perfectly safe there. Weren't 0:40:03.080 --> 0:40:06.560 you also adding to this perception that there wasn't such 0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:10.320 a threat generally, No, I was saying that you should 0:40:10.360 --> 0:40:14.920 not discriminate against, discriminate against Chinese Americans, as some in 0:40:14.960 --> 0:40:18.400 our administration. We're doing by the way they were labeling 0:40:18.440 --> 0:40:21.879 the flu and that no. Indeed, and again I think 0:40:21.880 --> 0:40:25.960 you if you check the record and as current, you 0:40:26.000 --> 0:40:29.879 will see that Chinatown has been a model in all 0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:34.240 of this. Huh interesting, isn't it? Nancy Pelos just blather? 0:40:36.800 --> 0:40:42.439 But what he did pace you know it? Yeah? Look, Hey, 0:40:42.560 --> 0:40:45.160 credit works due Chris Wallace asking asking a real question 0:40:45.200 --> 0:40:48.120 and pushing on it. I know sometimes he annoys conservatives, 0:40:48.120 --> 0:40:51.719 but he does ask real questions. And you know, Pelosi's 0:40:51.719 --> 0:40:55.400 response here is just blather. It's because of the discrimination, okay, 0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:57.960 because you were worrying about discrimination. You basically were the 0:40:58.000 --> 0:41:01.640 mayor in Jaws ringing the dinner bell at the beach. 0:41:01.760 --> 0:41:04.280 Remember that, you know, Oh we'll be open fourth of July. 0:41:05.040 --> 0:41:08.480 That was Nancy Pelosi. Yeah, go to Chinatown. It's great. 0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:11.319 Hang out there during lunar New Year's celebration. Don't worry 0:41:11.360 --> 0:41:13.080 about all the people that have come in from Wuhan, 0:41:13.760 --> 0:41:18.799 No concern there. Who Democrat leader third in line for 0:41:18.800 --> 0:41:22.839 the presidency. Just remember that most powerful Democrat in our 0:41:22.960 --> 0:41:27.439 elected system in the country right now, Nancy Pelosi. Oh, 0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:30.399 but they do a better job running things, Okay, Now 0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:32.960 that I've established that, Nancy Pelosi just still work. Clear, 0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:36.680 Nancy Pelosi is making this worse for people. She is 0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:39.440 hurting workers, she is hurting the people that need the 0:41:39.480 --> 0:41:43.200 money the most. And that's beyond any doubt, any dispute. 0:41:43.200 --> 0:41:46.319 Now that we've established that, we can also talk about 0:41:46.360 --> 0:41:53.160 how this paycheck protection program not enough, not even close, 0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:58.000 and it look I understand right another sensitivity. I don't 0:41:58.040 --> 0:41:59.960 you know this. I'm a supporter of the administration. I'm 0:42:00.000 --> 0:42:01.400 open about it. Isn't nice that I get to be 0:42:01.440 --> 0:42:04.680 honest about this. I'm a supporter of President Trump and 0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:08.600 his agenda, but I also have to be honest where 0:42:08.600 --> 0:42:11.480 when there's criticism, that's necessary. And I know that we're 0:42:11.520 --> 0:42:14.920 an extremist right now and things are tough. But the 0:42:14.960 --> 0:42:19.160 program that they designed is being abused, it's being exploited, 0:42:19.800 --> 0:42:22.680 and it's not enough money, not even close, and it's 0:42:22.719 --> 0:42:27.280 not confidence inspiring. When by some estimates, I'm seeing five 0:42:27.400 --> 0:42:32.560 percent of businesses got money, ninety five percent of those 0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:35.880 that applied did not get money. How is it that 0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:39.120 a program that's supposed to last ten weeks, within the 0:42:39.160 --> 0:42:44.360 first two weeks has a two hundred and fifty billion 0:42:44.520 --> 0:42:49.160 dollars shortfall. Do they have absolutely no My friends, look, 0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:51.920 these are the numbers. This is reality. Did they have 0:42:52.000 --> 0:42:55.000 no idea how many people were really going to be 0:42:55.120 --> 0:42:58.760 unemployed and also how expensive that labor would be, because 0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:02.680 this is all meant to keep people at their previous 0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:07.200 level of pay by giving different You show your payroll, 0:43:07.600 --> 0:43:09.359 and I spoke to a friend over the weekend who's 0:43:09.400 --> 0:43:12.000 going through this exact process. You show your payroll the government. 0:43:12.080 --> 0:43:14.000 The government says, here's a check for your payroll for 0:43:14.040 --> 0:43:19.560 the next ten weeks. Company after company did not get 0:43:19.600 --> 0:43:22.719 that money, and that's not something that you can just 0:43:22.800 --> 0:43:26.120 keep delaying. They're going to let people go, and those 0:43:26.160 --> 0:43:29.799 individuals then will be at they'll be off payroll. There 0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:32.759 are investors, there are owners that could pull their money 0:43:32.840 --> 0:43:35.400 from these ventures. You know, if you're trying to do 0:43:35.400 --> 0:43:37.680 a startup, if you're trying to raise money, what happens 0:43:37.719 --> 0:43:40.080 now you're missing payroll? Do you think investors are going 0:43:40.120 --> 0:43:42.040 to say, yeah, we know times are tough, let's throw 0:43:42.120 --> 0:43:45.400 more cash to you. While you're running running in the 0:43:45.400 --> 0:43:49.919 red here can't buy product either. Businesses that don't don't 0:43:49.920 --> 0:43:52.680 have money, they if they're giving the money to their payroll. 0:43:52.719 --> 0:43:55.240 For example, they can't buy product even if they could 0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:57.279 stay in business at some level. So what are you? 0:43:57.680 --> 0:44:00.520 What are you left with here? How the government have 0:44:00.640 --> 0:44:04.600 gotten this so wrong? I think we need to ask 0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:08.800 the question. I think we need to understand. The numbers 0:44:08.880 --> 0:44:12.759 on this are are not good. The way that this 0:44:12.800 --> 0:44:17.600 has worked out so far is not confidence inspiring at all. 0:44:17.640 --> 0:44:21.160 I mean, you know shake Shack, which does make a 0:44:21.160 --> 0:44:24.080 great burger, but it's a big chain. Now they've got 0:44:24.160 --> 0:44:26.160 him in Vegas and New York. I think they got 0:44:26.200 --> 0:44:28.160 them all over the country. They got him in d C. 0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:31.640 I think all over the place. Shake Shack got ten 0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:37.160 million dollars from the coronavirus stimulus funding. This is supposed 0:44:37.160 --> 0:44:39.880 to be for payroll, right, shake Shack got ten million dollars. 0:44:41.080 --> 0:44:45.319 They had to return it. You know why because two 0:44:45.400 --> 0:44:48.480 days two days after rather two days after they got 0:44:48.520 --> 0:44:49.920 that money, they had to return it. Because they raised 0:44:49.920 --> 0:44:54.080 one hundred and fifty million dollars in equity Harvard University. 0:44:54.239 --> 0:44:58.720 This one's particularly well known right now, forty billion dollar endowment. 0:44:58.920 --> 0:45:01.799 Harvard University got nine million dollars. And now people say buck, 0:45:01.800 --> 0:45:05.480 they've employees too, Yeah, don't you think that they should 0:45:05.480 --> 0:45:08.080 probably be able to weather the storm with their forty 0:45:08.320 --> 0:45:11.520 billion with a b dollar endowmin they really need nine 0:45:11.560 --> 0:45:16.439 million dollars in emergency cash funding. No, because the whole, look, 0:45:16.440 --> 0:45:21.120 the whole higher education system has largely become these universities 0:45:21.560 --> 0:45:25.240 are hedge funds and influenced peddling schemes where people also 0:45:25.320 --> 0:45:29.520 take classes. It's really not about making people the leaders 0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:31.120 of the future and educated them in the way that 0:45:31.400 --> 0:45:33.480 you know, we'll make for a better society, that's all. 0:45:33.520 --> 0:45:37.600 It's just all branding and money and access the elite 0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:42.279 institutions in this country. Now, that's really the whole thing 0:45:42.320 --> 0:45:44.279 is a house of cards. It's beginning to fall apart too. 0:45:44.840 --> 0:45:46.520 You know how many dumbasses I know who went to 0:45:46.600 --> 0:45:49.680 Harvard and Yale, More more than I could even say. 0:45:49.680 --> 0:45:51.560 I could just start naming people, be like this guy 0:45:51.800 --> 0:45:54.960 dumbass didn't do any of his life, This guy jerk 0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:57.880 didn't do anything. Tons of them, Now, a lot of 0:45:57.880 --> 0:45:59.680 them had, you know, Mommy and Daddy gave money or 0:45:59.719 --> 0:46:02.279 went there. You know, legacy stuff is a big part 0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:05.120 of all this. But this this notion that you know, 0:46:05.160 --> 0:46:06.920 if you go to one of these schools, like Harvard 0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:09.400 in particular, and somehow I know people say to be 0:46:09.400 --> 0:46:10.920 oh bunk, you know, but you know this is this 0:46:11.000 --> 0:46:13.279 is a sour grapes thing. I mean, I could have 0:46:13.280 --> 0:46:15.400 gone an ivy League business school. I didn't go because 0:46:15.640 --> 0:46:18.919 I didn't think it was worth it. So them's the facts. 0:46:18.920 --> 0:46:20.880 Actually could have gone a couple of IV League business schools. 0:46:21.400 --> 0:46:25.040 Humble bregg who cares doesn't mean anything. All in them 0:46:25.080 --> 0:46:26.640 was I figured out how to play that system one 0:46:26.719 --> 0:46:28.560 enough to be one of the people chosen to take 0:46:28.600 --> 0:46:32.560 out a quarter of a million dollars in education loans 0:46:32.640 --> 0:46:35.760 beyond college. Right, But Harvard's got a forty billion dollar 0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:40.160 endowment and they want money. The small business, I mean, 0:46:40.160 --> 0:46:43.239 the numbers on this are staggering. The Small Business Administration 0:46:43.640 --> 0:46:46.800 gave one point six million dollar one point six million loans, 0:46:46.920 --> 0:46:49.880 rather not dollars one point six million loans through the 0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:55.000 paycheck Protection Program. There are thirty point seven million small 0:46:55.080 --> 0:46:59.160 businesses in America, according to the Small Business Association, so 0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:02.839 five point four percent received funds before the program ran 0:47:02.880 --> 0:47:06.279 out of money last week, ninety five percent ninety four 0:47:06.320 --> 0:47:12.080 point six percent received nothing. This is what a government 0:47:12.239 --> 0:47:17.239 rescue looks like. The connected the big fish, they eat 0:47:17.280 --> 0:47:19.080 all the fish food before it gets down to the 0:47:19.120 --> 0:47:21.040 bottom of the tank. The little fish that you're trying 0:47:21.040 --> 0:47:25.120 to help, No fish food for them. That's what's happened. 0:47:25.120 --> 0:47:28.160 And Nancy Pelosi is saying, no more food for anybody 0:47:28.239 --> 0:47:30.400 right now until I get what I want. That's what 0:47:30.520 --> 0:47:35.560 she's doing. The numbers don't lie, my friends. Ruth's Chris 0:47:36.320 --> 0:47:39.600 has eighty six million dollars. Now, look, their stakes are excellent. 0:47:39.680 --> 0:47:42.239 And then I understand the employee people, but this is 0:47:42.280 --> 0:47:46.360 emergency funding. Eighty six million dollars in the bank and 0:47:46.480 --> 0:47:51.200 they receive twenty million dollars in the PPP fund intended 0:47:51.200 --> 0:47:54.560 to help small businesses. It's a publicly traded company that 0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:56.759 has almost one hundred million dollars in the bank and 0:47:56.800 --> 0:47:59.560 they get twenty million dollars. I know people who have 0:48:00.680 --> 0:48:03.480 zero in the bank, none, and they're businesses that are 0:48:03.520 --> 0:48:06.280 making money, but they're they're turned off. All their businesses 0:48:06.280 --> 0:48:08.360 have been crushed in the last two months. No money 0:48:08.360 --> 0:48:11.160 in the bank for payroll. You know what happens to them. Sorry, 0:48:11.560 --> 0:48:14.319 government doesn't have any checks for you, my friends. It's 0:48:14.320 --> 0:48:18.120 not acceptable, it's not okay, and it's a reminder of 0:48:18.120 --> 0:48:19.759 what I started out the show with, which is that 0:48:20.000 --> 0:48:22.320 the government is not your friend. It's not going to 0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:24.120 keep you safe and warm at night. That's what the 0:48:24.120 --> 0:48:29.239 freedom hund is for. You're in the freedom hunt. This 0:48:29.320 --> 0:48:35.920 is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right. To continue 0:48:35.920 --> 0:48:39.600 our conversation about how small businesses are getting the short 0:48:39.760 --> 0:48:43.160 end of the stick right now, we have Will Ricardella 0:48:43.280 --> 0:48:46.320 with us right now. He is from the Washington Examiner, 0:48:46.320 --> 0:48:48.360 where he's an editor. He's following this very closely, and 0:48:48.400 --> 0:48:49.960 we're going back and forth all the time trying to 0:48:50.040 --> 0:48:51.560 update each other. Will. Great to have you on the 0:48:51.560 --> 0:48:54.600 show first time. Thanks for having me on book. All right, man, 0:48:54.600 --> 0:48:57.120 So I was telling everybody that five percent of small 0:48:57.160 --> 0:49:00.120 businesses so far i've gotten cash. What are you seeing 0:49:00.120 --> 0:49:01.680 at the national level? And also then I want you 0:49:01.760 --> 0:49:04.080 to tell us about businesses that you just know personally. 0:49:04.080 --> 0:49:06.480 What are they dealing with right now? Well, at the 0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:09.720 national level, people aren't getting the PPP, they're not getting 0:49:09.760 --> 0:49:12.960 the stop gap. They ran out of money pretty quickly. 0:49:13.000 --> 0:49:16.480 Most a lot of the money was deferred towards unemployment insurance. 0:49:16.560 --> 0:49:19.480 People are guaranteed six hundred dollars a week. Employees who 0:49:19.480 --> 0:49:21.479 are laid off, and it's the wealth creators who seem 0:49:21.520 --> 0:49:24.600 to be getting the short end of this stick. I 0:49:24.680 --> 0:49:27.719 know this. My family has businesses in New York, their restaurants. 0:49:28.600 --> 0:49:30.400 My uncle was unable to get any of the funds 0:49:30.400 --> 0:49:32.640 for the PPP. Most of his workers have left and 0:49:33.080 --> 0:49:35.920 unemployment insurance because they get into extra six hundred dollars. 0:49:35.920 --> 0:49:38.560 They don't even want to stay in the payroll anyway. Well, 0:49:38.560 --> 0:49:41.640 that's remarkable. Explain that, like, why why would they rather? 0:49:41.920 --> 0:49:44.200 How is the incentive structure set up so that they'd 0:49:44.280 --> 0:49:48.239 rather not be on payroll? Because if you sign up 0:49:48.239 --> 0:49:50.560 for unemployment insurance, not only do you get the unemployment 0:49:50.640 --> 0:49:53.279 insurance that the state gives you from the federal bill, 0:49:53.360 --> 0:49:55.680 you get an extra six hundred dollar bonus. This is 0:49:55.719 --> 0:49:58.640 per week. So why would you stay on the payrolls? 0:49:58.640 --> 0:50:01.280 It's now you know this is for a four month extension. 0:50:01.320 --> 0:50:02.960 So let's say you know, you try to open up. 0:50:03.000 --> 0:50:04.960 Now you're not going to get your workers back for 0:50:04.960 --> 0:50:07.239 four months. How do you even open How do you 0:50:07.280 --> 0:50:09.920 transition into a period where you can give people service. 0:50:10.160 --> 0:50:12.680 That's not to mention that people are already terrified. They're 0:50:12.680 --> 0:50:14.400 not going to go into a restaurant. What are we 0:50:14.560 --> 0:50:16.880 to tell me this? What are you the family business here? 0:50:16.960 --> 0:50:19.360 The restaurants you're talking about, Do they think they're going 0:50:19.440 --> 0:50:22.839 to be able to reopen this year? Oh boy, I don't. 0:50:22.920 --> 0:50:25.120 I mean, that's a discussion I don't think anybody wants 0:50:25.160 --> 0:50:28.200 to have at this point. That's certainly in the back 0:50:28.200 --> 0:50:31.400 of people's minds. It's terrifying. I mean, this is a business, 0:50:31.440 --> 0:50:34.719 you know. Look, you can extrapolate this into millions Americans. 0:50:34.719 --> 0:50:37.320 My family has been in business now for fifty six years. 0:50:37.680 --> 0:50:40.480 They're worried about losing them. This is a This is 0:50:40.560 --> 0:50:43.359 a biggest employer in the town and the area. It's 0:50:43.360 --> 0:50:46.279 outside of New York City. It serves people who come 0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:49.239 up from New York City or commute, you know, and 0:50:49.280 --> 0:50:51.360 there's not a lot of other jobs in the area. 0:50:51.440 --> 0:50:53.640 So this is shifting a lot of people from payrolls 0:50:53.640 --> 0:50:56.319 onto government unemployment insurance. And when that runs out, what 0:50:56.320 --> 0:50:57.719 are people going to do if a lot of these 0:50:57.800 --> 0:51:01.040 vaut creators are closed, where do people work? They're gonna 0:51:01.080 --> 0:51:03.600 have to stay on unemployment insurance? And what happens to 0:51:03.680 --> 0:51:06.839 the other expenses that for example, the restaurants. I mean 0:51:06.840 --> 0:51:08.360 to drill down to this for a second. What what 0:51:08.400 --> 0:51:11.520 happens to the other expenses, rent, and so on and 0:51:11.560 --> 0:51:14.520 so forth. Right, So if you have this, you know, 0:51:14.600 --> 0:51:16.680 if you have the Cares Act and this PPP and 0:51:16.719 --> 0:51:18.960 that helps business owners stop the gap. It may not 0:51:19.080 --> 0:51:21.799 do it entirely. It's not going to do it long enough, 0:51:21.840 --> 0:51:23.759 and you're not creating any wealth. The reason you have 0:51:23.840 --> 0:51:26.520 this business is so you could pay yourself a salary too. 0:51:26.920 --> 0:51:28.960 You know, if you're just making your utilities your rent, 0:51:29.000 --> 0:51:30.960 what's the point of keeping it open if you have 0:51:30.960 --> 0:51:33.319 to dip into your own savings? What investments can you 0:51:33.360 --> 0:51:36.120 make in the future. So, look, this is killing businesses 0:51:36.200 --> 0:51:39.400 in particular service industry. In a restaurant, who's gonna I 0:51:39.440 --> 0:51:40.960 don't know. You know, you're in New York City. I'm 0:51:40.960 --> 0:51:43.960 in Washington, d C. I'm watching people dive off sidewalks 0:51:43.960 --> 0:51:45.839 when I walk past them. Do you think they're gonna 0:51:45.840 --> 0:51:47.279 want to go sit at a counter at a bar? 0:51:47.520 --> 0:51:52.239 I see people jogging on empty streets, jogging like going 0:51:52.280 --> 0:51:54.800 pretty fast, you know, maybe like seven eight minute miles 0:51:55.320 --> 0:51:59.399 with or eight minute miles with face masks on. Right, 0:51:59.440 --> 0:52:01.080 I'm like, well, do you guys think it's gonna happen 0:52:01.120 --> 0:52:03.640 here if everyone else is walking, you know, you're like, 0:52:03.960 --> 0:52:07.240 you're like the speedboat. You can go around the cruise ships. 0:52:08.680 --> 0:52:11.800 You're exactly right. So look, before they even had the 0:52:11.880 --> 0:52:15.359 institute of government lockdowns, people were already moving away from 0:52:15.360 --> 0:52:18.200 going to restaurants. We had a lot less reservations. There's 0:52:18.239 --> 0:52:20.400 a lot less people coming in. It's going to be 0:52:20.440 --> 0:52:22.680 a huge transition to get this to happen again. You're 0:52:22.680 --> 0:52:25.640 gonna have to open up in phases or all at 0:52:25.680 --> 0:52:28.080 once now in order for people in order for this 0:52:28.160 --> 0:52:30.920 to be over, perhaps by fall or winter. You'll have 0:52:30.960 --> 0:52:33.399 to open now before people feel confident to go out again. 0:52:33.440 --> 0:52:36.799 There's been so much misinformation spread about this, and the 0:52:36.880 --> 0:52:39.360 government's kind of one size fits all approach helps the 0:52:39.440 --> 0:52:42.120 rich people, the people who have money who work from home, 0:52:42.120 --> 0:52:45.120 work remotely, but it doesn't help working class Americans who 0:52:45.120 --> 0:52:48.160 can't afford to socially distance for two years, who can't 0:52:48.160 --> 0:52:50.719 afford to wear masks and stay away from everybody for 0:52:50.760 --> 0:52:53.560 a year. It just doesn't work for them. So that's 0:52:53.560 --> 0:52:56.360 why you have people protesting. They can't accept those costs. 0:52:56.600 --> 0:52:59.600 Where you have the hoyty toyty folks in Manhattan and Washington, DC. 0:52:59.760 --> 0:53:01.759 They can where a mask and run off the sidewalk 0:53:01.760 --> 0:53:04.239 all day. But a majority of Americans can't do that. 0:53:04.280 --> 0:53:06.799 They can't afford to. And how worried are you? Just 0:53:06.840 --> 0:53:08.919 at that the macro level, we got about thirty forty 0:53:08.920 --> 0:53:11.920 seconds left, but they're talking about now a five hundred 0:53:12.239 --> 0:53:15.200 I think it's five hundred billion dollars bailout fund for 0:53:15.239 --> 0:53:18.160 states and cities. I'm getting the sense that people really 0:53:18.160 --> 0:53:20.960 believe that the government can just write blank checks for everything. 0:53:20.960 --> 0:53:24.839 And it's fine. Well, yeah, so I have an economics background, right, 0:53:25.080 --> 0:53:27.720 you're writing out all this money, you're giving unemployment insurance 0:53:27.719 --> 0:53:29.600 to people that aren't working, and you don't have wealth 0:53:29.600 --> 0:53:32.600 creators creating wealth. I mean, so what happens. You'll have 0:53:32.680 --> 0:53:35.640 massive inflation. People are spending money, it's not backed up 0:53:35.640 --> 0:53:38.800 by any discernible production, and you'll get somewhat of inflation 0:53:38.840 --> 0:53:41.120 even on consumption spending. And look, you have some people 0:53:41.120 --> 0:53:43.239 who are laid off or cutting into their savings. You're 0:53:43.280 --> 0:53:45.520 gonna will well, hold on, I want to actually let's 0:53:45.520 --> 0:53:46.960 continue as the other side of the break for a minute. 0:53:47.000 --> 0:53:48.640 Stay with me. We'll come back and get back into this. 0:53:49.480 --> 0:53:52.920 Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember 0:53:53.000 --> 0:53:58.759 to subscribe on Apple Podcasts. The iHeart range your past Ricardella, 0:53:58.840 --> 0:54:01.239 who is at the Washington Examiner. He's an editor there. 0:54:01.280 --> 0:54:03.640 He's also a buddy of mine, and his family owns 0:54:03.680 --> 0:54:06.520 businesses here in the New York area, and they're in 0:54:06.640 --> 0:54:10.160 really tough shape right now, as any restaurant business would be, 0:54:10.200 --> 0:54:13.600 given that they're shut down because of government mandates. So well, 0:54:13.600 --> 0:54:15.520 you're talking about the inflationary pressure. I mean, I just 0:54:15.560 --> 0:54:20.000 feel like, you know, we undershot with PPP, undershot within 0:54:20.040 --> 0:54:22.520 the first couple of weeks by at least two hundred 0:54:22.560 --> 0:54:24.600 and fifty billion, and I think they're just asking for 0:54:24.640 --> 0:54:26.680 that with the idea that in another three or four 0:54:26.719 --> 0:54:28.279 weeks they're gonna say we in another two hundred and 0:54:28.280 --> 0:54:31.879 fifty billion. We're on track here to spend at least 0:54:32.040 --> 0:54:34.760 four feels like it's going to be six, maybe seven 0:54:34.840 --> 0:54:37.279 or eight trillion dollars really quickly, right, I mean in 0:54:37.320 --> 0:54:38.920 a matter of a few months. Yeah, I think I 0:54:38.960 --> 0:54:42.120 think that's optimistic. I think it's more like ten trillion. Look, 0:54:42.680 --> 0:54:45.759 how you look, the government shut down these businesses, so 0:54:45.800 --> 0:54:48.920 therefore they owe them some responsibility to stop the gap. 0:54:48.960 --> 0:54:51.080 And you know a lot of these businesses are going 0:54:51.160 --> 0:54:52.839 to take it pay off their bills, but it doesn't 0:54:52.920 --> 0:54:55.080 leave much for them. A lot of their employees are 0:54:55.120 --> 0:54:58.759 going on to unemployment insurance because it's more money they're 0:54:59.120 --> 0:55:01.439 these people are dipping into their savings as well. They're 0:55:01.440 --> 0:55:03.799 not gonna have any money to invest when things open up. 0:55:03.800 --> 0:55:06.040 They're not gonna my families outside of New York City. 0:55:06.080 --> 0:55:08.520 They depend on people who come up from New York City. 0:55:08.800 --> 0:55:11.000 That's not going to happen for a long time. So 0:55:11.040 --> 0:55:13.480 there's going to be less savings, less investment. We're not 0:55:13.520 --> 0:55:16.440 going to hire everybody back. You can't raise your prices 0:55:16.480 --> 0:55:19.080 because there's not as much money out there. And let's 0:55:19.080 --> 0:55:22.520 hope that inflations stays low, that you know, you don't 0:55:22.520 --> 0:55:24.400 have these menu costs and so on where they have 0:55:24.440 --> 0:55:27.360 to change their prices constantly. I don't look, there's so 0:55:27.400 --> 0:55:29.600 much uncertainty that businesses aren't going to invest like they 0:55:29.680 --> 0:55:32.560 used to. I don't see the economy coming back for 0:55:32.880 --> 0:55:35.840 a very long time. Twenty twenty one is optimistic. What 0:55:35.880 --> 0:55:38.279 do you think should be done here? I mean the administration, 0:55:38.360 --> 0:55:40.720 I was telling everybody, Look, Pelosi is just a she's 0:55:40.760 --> 0:55:43.480 just what she's doing is monstrous here by by stopping 0:55:43.480 --> 0:55:45.319 people from getting money that they need right now. And 0:55:45.320 --> 0:55:48.280 it's all politics with her, and she's she's a disgusting 0:55:48.320 --> 0:55:52.440 plutocrat and people should know that. But the administration, you know, 0:55:52.800 --> 0:55:55.080 they're they're not really able to do what they've said 0:55:55.120 --> 0:55:57.399 they're able to do, which is a key people more 0:55:57.440 --> 0:55:59.520 or less with money in their pockets who were employed 0:55:59.560 --> 0:56:02.200 going for word, even though they've opened the money gun 0:56:02.320 --> 0:56:04.080 in a way like we've never seen it before. So 0:56:04.120 --> 0:56:05.840 what do you think they should be doing? Well? I 0:56:05.880 --> 0:56:08.520 think what happened first the problem was uncertainty. Right in 0:56:08.520 --> 0:56:10.719 New York. It was you know, we're going to stem 0:56:10.760 --> 0:56:12.800 the tide for thirty days. We'll open back up in 0:56:12.840 --> 0:56:16.239 April fifteenth. Uncertainty hurt business. Now I think it's the certainty. 0:56:16.600 --> 0:56:19.239 At first you had a government saying, oh, we're gonna 0:56:19.239 --> 0:56:21.600 flatten the curve, and then once that's over, you know 0:56:21.640 --> 0:56:23.600 what I mean, we can reopen businesses. Now it's we're 0:56:23.600 --> 0:56:25.799 gonna flatten the curve. The curve is flattened. Now we're 0:56:25.800 --> 0:56:28.600 gonna have to do this until there's a vaccine or indefinitely, 0:56:28.760 --> 0:56:30.920 or you're gonna have to wear a mask for two years, 0:56:31.040 --> 0:56:33.440 or they're not giving any option for people that're like, 0:56:33.480 --> 0:56:36.040 you know, there's a lot of epidemiologists saying, look, they're 0:56:36.080 --> 0:56:38.319 only options hurt immunity. They're not saying, hey, let's let 0:56:38.440 --> 0:56:40.520 kids who have zero risk of this disease go back 0:56:40.560 --> 0:56:42.799 to school. Let's try, you know, let's try to go 0:56:42.880 --> 0:56:46.120 back to regular life. Here, they're saying to businesses in general, 0:56:46.440 --> 0:56:49.000 especially service industry, you can't have more than ten people 0:56:49.040 --> 0:56:51.560 in your business, and you know you're gonna have to 0:56:51.600 --> 0:56:53.680 stay six feet apart, and you're gonna have to wear 0:56:53.760 --> 0:56:55.920 masks and so on. There's no way. Restaurants, well, I 0:56:55.960 --> 0:56:57.279 was about to say, I mean, when people say this, 0:56:57.280 --> 0:56:59.360 they obviously don't know any but the restaurant business, because 0:56:59.360 --> 0:57:02.920 it's all it's all about turning tables relatively quickly, right, 0:57:02.960 --> 0:57:05.680 and the more tables the better. How many people you 0:57:05.680 --> 0:57:08.759 can fit in your restaurant is paramount. For restaurants. Every 0:57:08.800 --> 0:57:10.919 time you put somebody, every you put a button a seat, 0:57:10.960 --> 0:57:13.520 that's money. If you're taking butts out of seats, you're 0:57:13.560 --> 0:57:16.280 taking money away from restaurants. They just can't stay open. 0:57:16.280 --> 0:57:18.160 The bigger the restaurant, the less chance they have of 0:57:18.240 --> 0:57:21.000 staying open. So you know, these are things I don't 0:57:21.040 --> 0:57:22.960 think people thought about it at first. It's much easier 0:57:23.000 --> 0:57:24.640 to flip the switch off than it is to turn 0:57:24.680 --> 0:57:26.280 it back on. And I don't think any of that 0:57:26.440 --> 0:57:28.600 what was given. I don't think they had any appropriate 0:57:28.680 --> 0:57:31.280 data to begin with to justify this. And I think 0:57:31.320 --> 0:57:34.200 you're gonna see it's gonna be I hope I'm wrong, Buck, 0:57:34.240 --> 0:57:35.800 I really do, but I don't think it's going to 0:57:35.880 --> 0:57:38.680 be very good moving forward here the next six months 0:57:38.680 --> 0:57:41.120 to a year at least at least, Yeah, it just 0:57:41.160 --> 0:57:45.720 feels like the spending it either has negative ramifications for 0:57:45.760 --> 0:57:47.560 the government to go deeper in debt than it has 0:57:47.560 --> 0:57:49.840 ever been in a way that no one could have 0:57:49.920 --> 0:57:52.479 ever even anticipated. Right, this is not even with a war. 0:57:52.640 --> 0:57:55.160 You figure, well, at some point this thing will end, 0:57:55.200 --> 0:57:56.560 and you know, there's a little bit of it. And 0:57:56.600 --> 0:57:58.560 also there's a lot of production that goes into a war, 0:57:58.640 --> 0:58:00.480 so you may go into depth. There's all so tremendous 0:58:00.480 --> 0:58:02.680 amount of production and that's going on, and within your society, 0:58:03.040 --> 0:58:07.200 we're going into debt with shutdown production, right, and but 0:58:07.280 --> 0:58:10.000 people don't understand from an economic standpoint, as we have 0:58:10.000 --> 0:58:13.480 a four trillion dollar budget deficit this year, that's taxes. 0:58:13.960 --> 0:58:16.760 People understand, you know. I think I've saw Alexandria custumer 0:58:16.800 --> 0:58:19.080 tests say, oh, the money you get from the PPP 0:58:19.280 --> 0:58:22.040 and the and you know, the stimulus checks, the twelve 0:58:22.120 --> 0:58:24.200 hundred dollars, you don't have to pay back. Well, that's 0:58:24.240 --> 0:58:26.840 not true. It's debt. You have to pay that back 0:58:26.840 --> 0:58:29.240 in taxes. And that's how businesses and people see it. 0:58:29.240 --> 0:58:31.160 Our taxes are going to have to go up, right, 0:58:31.720 --> 0:58:33.760 you know, So that is money that has to be 0:58:33.800 --> 0:58:36.000 paid back. I think people understand that, and that's going 0:58:36.080 --> 0:58:38.600 to hurt long term investing. People aren't going to want 0:58:38.600 --> 0:58:41.160 to invest when they're unsure about how high tax rates 0:58:41.160 --> 0:58:44.080 will go. Government spending is with astronomical before any of 0:58:44.120 --> 0:58:46.480 this happened, and it leaves a lot of uncertainty in 0:58:46.520 --> 0:58:48.440 the economy and it's going to be very hard to 0:58:48.480 --> 0:58:51.160 come back. And I don't think anybody's talking about it. 0:58:51.400 --> 0:58:53.560 I don't think politicians want to talk about it because 0:58:53.600 --> 0:58:56.920 they want to justify the severe draconian lockdowns that they instituted, 0:58:57.080 --> 0:59:00.520 and they don't want any blowback for it. I agree Rocardell. 0:59:00.600 --> 0:59:03.400 Everybody follow him on Twitter. His last name is very 0:59:03.400 --> 0:59:05.400 hard to spell, so I will say it's not an 0:59:05.400 --> 0:59:08.040 easy thing. But if you kind of think about it 0:59:08.400 --> 0:59:11.880 and you do it phonetically and then you think like Italian, 0:59:12.120 --> 0:59:15.040 you'll figure it out, right. Yeah, And you know, just 0:59:15.120 --> 0:59:17.760 google that you can find the restaurants. Google Rocodella, You'll 0:59:17.800 --> 0:59:20.120 find them easily. There we go, will Thanks so much 0:59:20.160 --> 0:59:21.880 for your insights, my friend. We'll have you back soon 0:59:21.920 --> 0:59:27.200 and you take care. Thank you, Buck, But you're in 0:59:27.280 --> 0:59:34.800 the freedom. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. These 0:59:34.800 --> 0:59:37.000 folks are, Let's be honest about what they are. They 0:59:37.040 --> 0:59:40.680 are the Fox News Nazi Confederate death cult rump of 0:59:40.720 --> 0:59:43.840 the Republican Party, and their very existence is a slap 0:59:43.880 --> 0:59:46.000 in the face not only to the healthcare workers on 0:59:46.000 --> 0:59:49.640 the front lines risking their lives every single day, but 0:59:49.680 --> 0:59:51.320 it's also a slap into the face of the people 0:59:51.320 --> 0:59:55.080 who are actually dying from this virus and disproportionate numbers 0:59:55.120 --> 0:59:59.320 black and brown people. These aren't economically disenfranchised folks. These 0:59:59.320 --> 1:00:02.840 are small disowners. These are retirees. These are people who 1:00:02.880 --> 1:00:06.600 want their workers to be sent back to work, not themselves. 1:00:06.960 --> 1:00:10.480 It's a complete nutter farce. It's an astroidturf farce. And also, 1:00:10.560 --> 1:00:12.880 I think it needs to be said, it's also unrepresentative 1:00:12.880 --> 1:00:14.840 of the Republican Party as a whole. I just saw 1:00:14.880 --> 1:00:17.800 a poll that said seventy percent of Republicans want a 1:00:17.960 --> 1:00:23.200 national stay at home order. This person's appalling, utterly appalling. 1:00:23.520 --> 1:00:27.520 But is he writes for The Nation, which is perhaps 1:00:27.600 --> 1:00:31.200 the most disgusting comy rag in any circulation in the 1:00:31.280 --> 1:00:34.680 United United States. So he's a sports writer for it. 1:00:35.400 --> 1:00:38.120 But so he's a sports writer for a commie paper. 1:00:38.520 --> 1:00:43.200 Good job. Everything that he says there is a is 1:00:43.240 --> 1:00:47.200 a vicious and stupid slander. And remember he's talking about 1:00:47.240 --> 1:00:50.400 people who are trying to have their voices raised peacefully 1:00:50.880 --> 1:00:54.480 about government policies that increasingly the data does not support 1:00:55.560 --> 1:00:59.040 the lockdown order. If you really look what's going on 1:00:59.080 --> 1:01:01.760 in Germany, if you really look what has happened Sweden, 1:01:01.840 --> 1:01:04.000 for example, is saying that the model that they've done, 1:01:04.160 --> 1:01:07.520 that they were all we were told Sweden's heading for catastrophe. False. 1:01:08.240 --> 1:01:11.360 Sweden is not in a catastrophe. It's doing better than 1:01:11.400 --> 1:01:14.280 most of the other major European countries. That have been 1:01:14.360 --> 1:01:17.440 hit hard by COVID nineteen not doing as well as Finland. 1:01:17.480 --> 1:01:20.120 But Finland is like Lichtenstein, It's barely a country. It's 1:01:20.120 --> 1:01:23.520 got like two million people that live there. If that okay, fine, 1:01:23.520 --> 1:01:25.000 I gotta find out. It's just saying, because I know 1:01:25.040 --> 1:01:27.680 someone's gonna yell at me, what's the population of Finland? 1:01:28.680 --> 1:01:33.240 Five million? Sorry, okay, it's got five million people. But 1:01:33.920 --> 1:01:35.720 the truth is that Sweden, we were told was going 1:01:35.760 --> 1:01:37.560 to run for it was going to have disaster because 1:01:37.560 --> 1:01:40.600 they were just doing more common sense, be careful, no 1:01:40.760 --> 1:01:44.080 huge gatherings. But businesses can still operate washer hints the 1:01:44.160 --> 1:01:47.280 things that I've wanted us to do all along. Act 1:01:47.360 --> 1:01:49.840 like we're in a really really bad flu season, take 1:01:49.880 --> 1:01:53.360 those kinds of precautions, and not act like everybody's about 1:01:53.360 --> 1:01:55.439 to die from bubonic plague. If they leave their house, 1:01:55.560 --> 1:01:58.800 everyone has to be on lockdown. So the people that 1:01:58.840 --> 1:02:01.320 are upset about this, I mean he's now slandering them, 1:02:01.360 --> 1:02:04.000 saying that they want their workers to go. No. I 1:02:04.480 --> 1:02:06.760 know people who are small business owners here in New 1:02:06.800 --> 1:02:10.160 York and employees who want to go back to their jobs, 1:02:10.920 --> 1:02:13.720 who want to be able to function again, and earn 1:02:13.760 --> 1:02:17.400 a living again, and for the attitude from these some 1:02:17.440 --> 1:02:20.120 of these media elites to be and they're not elite 1:02:20.120 --> 1:02:21.480 as and they're good, but you know they think of 1:02:21.520 --> 1:02:24.160 themselves as better than other people. I just want to 1:02:24.160 --> 1:02:26.840 know what Dave's zeron would say to the four thousand 1:02:26.880 --> 1:02:30.600 cars that showed up and waited in line four hours 1:02:30.640 --> 1:02:35.000 in Houston, Texas over the weekend for food bank assistance 1:02:35.000 --> 1:02:36.920 because they don't have any food and don't have any money. 1:02:37.640 --> 1:02:39.919 Four thousand cars, probably some of them have at least 1:02:39.920 --> 1:02:43.400 a few people in them, right, Probably folks might have 1:02:43.400 --> 1:02:45.320 shown up with their family members. What are those or 1:02:45.360 --> 1:02:47.920 even if they're the families at home, how many individuals 1:02:48.000 --> 1:02:52.280 you think those four thousand cars are representing? And that's 1:02:52.320 --> 1:02:57.640 just one day in Houston, Texas? Right, You've got at 1:02:57.680 --> 1:03:01.640 least an average, let's say, three or four people that 1:03:02.160 --> 1:03:05.560 need food. What are we to make of all of this? 1:03:05.760 --> 1:03:07.240 I mean, when you're telling people that they have to 1:03:07.280 --> 1:03:09.600 wait in line for food because their business has been 1:03:09.600 --> 1:03:11.720 shut down by order the state, and then you have 1:03:11.880 --> 1:03:15.560 smug libs telling them shut up, peasant, go home, watch Netflix. 1:03:15.680 --> 1:03:19.280 Accept it. You can't risk other people by having any 1:03:19.280 --> 1:03:21.760 individual freedom you're not allowed to leave your home and 1:03:21.720 --> 1:03:23.240 you're not allowed to operate your business. I mean the 1:03:23.240 --> 1:03:24.960 whole thing about it. These are people that want their 1:03:24.960 --> 1:03:26.959 workers to go. This guy doesn't it doesn't know anything. 1:03:27.000 --> 1:03:28.800 I mean, people are right for the nation are a 1:03:28.880 --> 1:03:31.480 joke and they're atrocious. So that's they're not they're not 1:03:31.560 --> 1:03:34.959 intellectually worthwhile, they're not nice people, they're not decent people, 1:03:35.000 --> 1:03:37.640 and the Nation is a trash heap. It's like Media 1:03:37.720 --> 1:03:40.840 Matters trash heap. If you work for Media Matters, you're 1:03:40.880 --> 1:03:43.320 part of a trash organization. You're probably a trash human being. 1:03:43.360 --> 1:03:46.720 If you work for the Nation, ninety percent chance you're 1:03:46.760 --> 1:03:49.320 trash human being. But me and meaning you know, you're 1:03:49.400 --> 1:03:51.959 you're smarmie, you don't care about people. You're not nice, 1:03:52.000 --> 1:03:58.960 you're not decent, You're a sanctimonious, smug, worthless lib. It 1:03:59.040 --> 1:04:00.880 just like a look down And everybody with all of 1:04:00.920 --> 1:04:04.000 the condescension because you went to some second or third 1:04:04.080 --> 1:04:09.120 tier liberal arts college in the Northeast, woo fantastic. We're 1:04:09.120 --> 1:04:12.960 all supposed to be so impressed. It's gross. That's gross. 1:04:13.880 --> 1:04:16.600 You know what else is going on the narrative while 1:04:16.640 --> 1:04:18.160 we're being told that if you have a problem with this, 1:04:18.200 --> 1:04:20.280 Remember that guy was talking about the protesters. How dare 1:04:20.320 --> 1:04:22.840 they protest? People don't have food, they don't have jobs, 1:04:23.120 --> 1:04:25.360 they don't have a future right now, And the government's 1:04:25.360 --> 1:04:27.160 acting like a bunch of morons in a lot of places, 1:04:27.200 --> 1:04:29.800 telling us beaches can't be open. Why can't beaches be open? 1:04:30.840 --> 1:04:33.400 Can't operate a store? You know the chances if somebody 1:04:33.400 --> 1:04:35.640 comes into your store for five minutes, And first of all, 1:04:35.720 --> 1:04:38.080 anyone who thinks they're sick should stay home. I mean, 1:04:38.080 --> 1:04:40.360 we have to. We have to operate in society assuming 1:04:40.400 --> 1:04:42.480 that not everyone's acting like a moron. Right. If you 1:04:42.520 --> 1:04:44.600 have a shallow cough and you think you might have 1:04:44.640 --> 1:04:49.439 COVID nineteen, quarantine yourself straight up for two weeks. Get 1:04:49.440 --> 1:04:52.000 the test obviously as soon as you can, But quarantine yourself. 1:04:53.120 --> 1:04:55.280 We all know that there are the things that are 1:04:55.040 --> 1:04:57.320 that we're going to do, no matter what the government says. 1:04:58.200 --> 1:05:01.280 It's the government action here that maybe exacerbating the problem, 1:05:01.280 --> 1:05:04.760 making things much much worse. Not then brings me to 1:05:05.200 --> 1:05:07.600 the case study of the subway here in New York City. 1:05:08.080 --> 1:05:11.240 It's a paper out of MIT that looks at the subway. 1:05:11.960 --> 1:05:14.720 This is a working paper by Jeffrey Harris. The subway 1:05:14.760 --> 1:05:19.680 seeded the massive coronavirus epidemic in New York City. Now 1:05:19.680 --> 1:05:22.920 it's an academic paper. Here's what it says. Here's the abstract. 1:05:23.480 --> 1:05:26.480 New York City's multi tentacled subway system was a major disseminator, 1:05:26.520 --> 1:05:30.439 if not the principal transmission vehicle, of coronavirus infection during 1:05:30.440 --> 1:05:33.760 the initial initial takeoff of the massive epidemic that became 1:05:33.760 --> 1:05:36.720 evident throughout the city during March twenty twenty. The near 1:05:36.800 --> 1:05:40.040 shutdown of subway ridership in Manhattan down by over ninety 1:05:40.120 --> 1:05:42.120 percent at the end of March, correlates strongly with the 1:05:42.160 --> 1:05:45.200 substantial rise in doubling time of new cases in this burrow. 1:05:45.840 --> 1:05:47.720 Increase in the doubling time of new cases in the 1:05:47.800 --> 1:05:52.479 burrow maps of subway station turnstile entries superimposed upon zip 1:05:52.480 --> 1:05:56.320 code level maps of reported coronavirus incidents are strongly consistent 1:05:56.360 --> 1:06:00.760 with subway facilitated disease propagation. Local train lines appear to 1:06:00.880 --> 1:06:03.880 have a higher propensity to transmit infection than express lines. 1:06:04.320 --> 1:06:07.040 Reciprocal seating of infection appears to be the best explanation 1:06:07.080 --> 1:06:09.160 for the emergence of a single hot spot in midtown 1:06:09.200 --> 1:06:12.160 West Manhattan's right where I live, by the way, bus 1:06:12.200 --> 1:06:16.000 hubs may have served as a secondary transmission. Why has 1:06:16.000 --> 1:06:18.600 New York been hit so hard? Because we have a 1:06:18.600 --> 1:06:21.800 subway system with millions of people crowded into enclosed areas 1:06:22.240 --> 1:06:25.680 and in some cases for long periods of time. I 1:06:25.760 --> 1:06:27.960 read through this whole study of the weekend. It's exactly 1:06:28.040 --> 1:06:29.880 what I've been telling family and friends for weeks in 1:06:29.880 --> 1:06:32.720 the city. This is what happened. New York had the 1:06:32.720 --> 1:06:35.200 spread of this because it's an international transit hub from 1:06:35.200 --> 1:06:38.520 Europe and from China both. We got it from both, 1:06:39.560 --> 1:06:42.080 and it started to spread rapidly here in the city. 1:06:42.800 --> 1:06:46.920 And it's spread far and wide along the same route 1:06:46.920 --> 1:06:50.600 that the subway goes. And the worst cases were further 1:06:50.720 --> 1:06:54.400 out on the subway line places and far out Queens 1:06:54.400 --> 1:06:57.880 and far out Brooklyn. And it's because the longer you're 1:06:57.920 --> 1:07:00.360 on the train, the more people come on and off 1:07:00.400 --> 1:07:03.120 the train, the more prolonged your exposure, and there are 1:07:03.160 --> 1:07:06.360 more people to expose you too. That's what happened. I mean, 1:07:06.360 --> 1:07:08.920 I've been looking at this for a long time. Someone 1:07:08.960 --> 1:07:11.120 like me I'm on the subway during the month of 1:07:11.160 --> 1:07:13.840 the highest spread of the desire, I should say the yeah, 1:07:13.880 --> 1:07:18.120 February when it was spreading effectively, completely unregulated, and no 1:07:18.160 --> 1:07:20.120 one really even knew about it, and then into March 1:07:20.160 --> 1:07:22.120 when everyone realized, oh my gosh, we got a monster 1:07:22.160 --> 1:07:24.160 on our hands here. I was on the subway four 1:07:24.160 --> 1:07:27.280 times a day, two subway rides to do my first 1:07:27.360 --> 1:07:29.760 radio show, two subway rides to do my second radio show, 1:07:29.880 --> 1:07:33.640 every single day. But my subway rides last about ten 1:07:33.640 --> 1:07:36.680 to fifteen minutes because I'm only going on the island 1:07:36.720 --> 1:07:40.320 of Manhattan. I'm not traveling to the outer boroughs, so 1:07:40.440 --> 1:07:43.040 I spent less time. It still is at high risk 1:07:43.080 --> 1:07:44.760 for this disease, by the way, but I spent less 1:07:44.800 --> 1:07:48.120 time on the subway than someone who's coming forty five 1:07:48.160 --> 1:07:50.400 minutes an hour, an hour and fifteen minutes from far 1:07:50.440 --> 1:07:54.280 out in Queens. Guests where you've had the worst pockets 1:07:54.400 --> 1:07:59.600 of worst pockets of disease, you know, the biggest outbreaks 1:07:59.600 --> 1:08:03.200 have been and far out on the subway line, though 1:08:03.280 --> 1:08:06.280 not away from the subway, far out on the subway line. 1:08:07.200 --> 1:08:09.480 And this all makes sense from everything we know about 1:08:09.520 --> 1:08:11.920 this disease. That it first of all, likes dark. It 1:08:12.080 --> 1:08:16.280 likes you know, dark and cool climate. It likes enclosed spaces, 1:08:16.400 --> 1:08:19.080 just like the flute. It likes people being close and 1:08:19.120 --> 1:08:22.639 packed into each other. So you would come on the subway, 1:08:23.479 --> 1:08:26.240 be exposed this virus, and then go home to your community, 1:08:26.320 --> 1:08:28.519 and then spread it to more people in your community. 1:08:28.800 --> 1:08:31.240 And that kept happening and happening and happening all along 1:08:31.240 --> 1:08:34.519 the subway lines. It also explains why Manhattan has had 1:08:34.680 --> 1:08:39.120 far less exposure to this virus so far, understands exposure 1:08:39.160 --> 1:08:42.360 far and less cases of this virus so far than 1:08:42.640 --> 1:08:45.880 other places further from the center of the city and 1:08:46.920 --> 1:08:50.320 commercial activity. And then you know what happened the city 1:08:50.320 --> 1:08:54.280 authorities after the subway had been the primary transmission mechanism, 1:08:54.320 --> 1:08:56.320 which I believe it was, Which is why why are 1:08:56.320 --> 1:08:58.160 we so much worse off than Los Angeles? Here? Los 1:08:58.200 --> 1:09:01.479 Angeles a huge city, millions of millions of people. We've got, 1:09:02.200 --> 1:09:04.920 we've got you know, I can't even do the math, 1:09:05.000 --> 1:09:08.000 but we've got such a worse situation here than Los 1:09:08.040 --> 1:09:11.479 Angeles does. It's not even close. Why would that be 1:09:11.520 --> 1:09:13.559 the case, Well, because Los Angeles doesn't have a mass 1:09:13.600 --> 1:09:17.479 transportation system, and other cities. Yeah, they've had some bad outbreaks, 1:09:17.479 --> 1:09:20.240 but it's not spiraling out of control. They don't have 1:09:20.280 --> 1:09:23.320 a mass transportation system, the New York City subway, which 1:09:23.360 --> 1:09:25.800 is the transportation heart. You can't get anywhere here unless 1:09:25.800 --> 1:09:27.200 you're on the subway. Really, I mean, you can't go 1:09:27.240 --> 1:09:29.719 to work, you can't do it. You'll wait in traffic forever. 1:09:29.760 --> 1:09:31.680 I mean, driving in and out of this city at 1:09:31.680 --> 1:09:34.240 the wrong time is almost impond People do it, but 1:09:34.240 --> 1:09:37.080 it's you know, it's a really difficult, really difficult thing 1:09:37.080 --> 1:09:39.920 to do every day. The subway is the heart of 1:09:39.920 --> 1:09:43.799 the city for commercial purposes, for transit purposes. Subway workers 1:09:44.320 --> 1:09:48.760 more subway workers per capita infected with coronavirus than the 1:09:48.800 --> 1:09:52.160 worst zip codes of the five boroughs. So of course 1:09:52.160 --> 1:09:55.200 subway workers were particularly high risk of getting this because 1:09:55.200 --> 1:09:57.479 the subway was the main mechanism for transmission and they're 1:09:57.520 --> 1:10:01.040 on the subway all the time. So this is what happened. 1:10:01.880 --> 1:10:03.439 And you know what they told us to do once 1:10:03.479 --> 1:10:07.000 that had already spread far and wide on the subway lockdown, 1:10:07.040 --> 1:10:09.800 at home school shut down. Do you know what one 1:10:09.800 --> 1:10:11.400 of the worst things you can possibly do when you 1:10:11.479 --> 1:10:15.519 already have very widespread transmission of this virus is without 1:10:15.560 --> 1:10:19.120 making any distinctions. Tell people who are younger and healthier, now, 1:10:19.200 --> 1:10:21.479 you can't even leave the house. You must stay at 1:10:21.560 --> 1:10:26.479 home all day coughing, touching things, coughing, touching things with you. 1:10:27.160 --> 1:10:29.840 You know, your grandma, your grandpa there, elderly relatives or 1:10:29.880 --> 1:10:34.960 your parents there. Who are you over sixty five? Yeah, 1:10:35.120 --> 1:10:37.760 that's what the city authorities. That was their plan. Lock 1:10:37.840 --> 1:10:40.120 everybody down at home. The disease had already spread all 1:10:40.160 --> 1:10:42.320 over the city. You're here, They're going to find that 1:10:42.360 --> 1:10:44.360 at least a million people who are exposed to this 1:10:44.479 --> 1:10:47.160 at some level. To get anybody and have anybodies from it, 1:10:47.200 --> 1:10:49.599 that's my guests. We know over one hundred and fifty 1:10:49.640 --> 1:10:52.960 thousand cases confirmed, might have been two or three million 1:10:52.960 --> 1:10:54.760 people that have antibodies to this at this point or 1:10:54.800 --> 1:10:57.640 have been have at some level of exposure. And then 1:10:57.680 --> 1:10:59.400 they shut it down. They told everybody to go home. 1:10:59.600 --> 1:11:02.120 You know what I did made it worse. But listen 1:11:02.160 --> 1:11:04.920 to the experts they tell you. Thanks for listening to 1:11:04.960 --> 1:11:09.240 the Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, 1:11:09.439 --> 1:11:12.640 the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. 1:11:13.680 --> 1:11:15.760 All right, Team I also wanted to check in on 1:11:15.840 --> 1:11:19.000 our friend in Brooklyn, mister Chadwick Moore. He is with 1:11:19.080 --> 1:11:22.800 us now. He is a commist for Spectator USA, and 1:11:23.000 --> 1:11:25.519 he is like me on Lockdown and also has a 1:11:25.560 --> 1:11:27.360 better beard, which makes me a little bit jealous. But 1:11:27.360 --> 1:11:31.040 good to see you, my friend. Hey, Buck, how's it going. 1:11:31.360 --> 1:11:33.840 Nice to see you. Yeah, I'm you know, I'm hanging 1:11:33.880 --> 1:11:36.000 in there. Just promise me, if you're gonna go jogging, 1:11:36.360 --> 1:11:39.439 you're not going to wear a face mask during the jog. Okay. 1:11:39.479 --> 1:11:41.479 People are losing their minds in this city and it's 1:11:41.520 --> 1:11:44.599 starting to freak me out. Yeah, but then I might 1:11:44.600 --> 1:11:48.640 get reported by the squeal squaded by don't wear a 1:11:48.640 --> 1:11:51.360 face maskball jogging? Aren't you? Aren't you a little bit 1:11:51.360 --> 1:11:55.799 taken aback by? Just how how overt the the nanny 1:11:55.960 --> 1:11:59.960 stadism and then the hall the hall monitorization of America 1:12:00.280 --> 1:12:03.560 has to become In some of these big cities Deblasio Garcetti, 1:12:03.760 --> 1:12:06.439 They're like, hey, if you see somebody I'm lder, we're 1:12:06.439 --> 1:12:09.599 gonna take out, like you know, rulers, or how are 1:12:09.600 --> 1:12:12.200 we gonna do these measurements? Oh, somebody was three feet 1:12:12.240 --> 1:12:14.160 away from somebody else in the grocery store. This is 1:12:14.200 --> 1:12:16.559 just a it's absurd, beyond belief. But I think it 1:12:16.600 --> 1:12:19.880 really does show that unfortunately, this has become it's not 1:12:19.960 --> 1:12:23.200 even that it's just political. Political philosophy has has gotten 1:12:23.200 --> 1:12:25.200 involved in this now where the people that believe the 1:12:25.320 --> 1:12:28.040 state is competent think that the state should be able 1:12:28.080 --> 1:12:30.439 to do all these things right exactly. You know, I 1:12:30.520 --> 1:12:33.880 keep thinking of that Ralph Wigham, meaning like, look, I'm 1:12:33.880 --> 1:12:38.000 helping every time Deblasio tries to pretend like he's doing 1:12:38.000 --> 1:12:41.120 as much as Andrew Cuomo or Eric Garcetti. Look, just 1:12:41.160 --> 1:12:43.679 a couple of months ago, the big story about these mayors, 1:12:43.800 --> 1:12:48.759 especially Eric Garcetti, was the absolute state of their cities 1:12:48.880 --> 1:12:52.320 in terms of the homeless crisis, the death the disease 1:12:52.439 --> 1:12:55.200 type point fever, bubonic plague on the streets of these 1:12:55.240 --> 1:12:59.960 homeless agamment. They were health department disasters these cities. These 1:13:00.560 --> 1:13:03.720 public health worker, city officials, cops, people work in city hall, 1:13:03.800 --> 1:13:07.320 especially in Los Angeles, We're getting diseases that we thought 1:13:07.320 --> 1:13:09.639 were wiped out in the Middle Ages. Now suddenly they 1:13:09.720 --> 1:13:12.800 think that they can control this. It's almost like, you know, 1:13:12.800 --> 1:13:16.240 I guess that they feel they have to iwas ever 1:13:16.320 --> 1:13:19.960 increasing Dracconian measures just to pretend like they're doing something, 1:13:20.000 --> 1:13:23.280 to pretend like they're helping, when by a large what 1:13:23.400 --> 1:13:26.360 are these things actually doing. Nobody usually acknowledge the fact 1:13:26.360 --> 1:13:28.479 that the whole reason why people get sick more often 1:13:28.520 --> 1:13:31.640 in the wintertime is because they're indoors. There's nothing to 1:13:31.760 --> 1:13:35.160 do with the cold making breeding viruses. I mean, they 1:13:35.160 --> 1:13:36.639 do tend to die off for and it's warmer out, 1:13:36.680 --> 1:13:39.280 but it's people being indoors and in close proximity to 1:13:39.320 --> 1:13:43.200 each other, being outdoors and maybe not not large gatherings, 1:13:43.240 --> 1:13:45.639 but these are helping things to do if you're staying 1:13:45.640 --> 1:13:48.160 a way for other people. And also the you know, 1:13:48.280 --> 1:13:51.679 I mentioned the Nanni statism, but we're seeing something that's 1:13:51.720 --> 1:13:55.519 that some conservatives and I will admit some libertarians have 1:13:55.600 --> 1:13:58.160 been have been worried about for a while, and that 1:13:58.479 --> 1:14:02.440 is the the leveraging of the biggest social media platforms 1:14:02.720 --> 1:14:06.400 as really a tool of the state to shut down 1:14:06.439 --> 1:14:09.360 I mean, now you know, Nebraska has had this. A 1:14:09.439 --> 1:14:11.360 bunch of other states I can't think of the top 1:14:11.439 --> 1:14:13.160 I think New Jersey was one of them, but a 1:14:13.160 --> 1:14:16.960 bunch of these states have had social media platforms say no, 1:14:17.560 --> 1:14:21.600 you're not allowed to organize a protest against the lockdown 1:14:21.640 --> 1:14:25.400 measures on our program on Facebook being the case in point, 1:14:25.680 --> 1:14:29.840 because the government says you can't, that any journalists would 1:14:29.880 --> 1:14:32.320 view that as anything other than a huge First Amendment 1:14:32.680 --> 1:14:34.680 red flag. I mean, I know you could say it's 1:14:34.720 --> 1:14:36.880 not the state, it's it's but at the First Amendment, 1:14:36.920 --> 1:14:38.800 I mean, your free speech perhaps a better way to 1:14:38.840 --> 1:14:41.240 put it. This is mind boggling. I mean, now you 1:14:41.280 --> 1:14:43.559 can't even use your you can't even use social media 1:14:43.560 --> 1:14:48.200 platforms to redress, to gather together to redress your government 1:14:48.240 --> 1:14:52.360 for grievances. Exactly. Yeah, it's right now. It's been California, Nebraska, 1:14:52.400 --> 1:14:56.639 and New Jersey. Mark Zuckerberg, the most trustworthy man in America, 1:14:56.680 --> 1:15:00.800 whoever would just loves cud league. Mark said to George Stefanopolus, 1:15:00.840 --> 1:15:02.600 I believe it was just today, or maybe it was 1:15:02.960 --> 1:15:06.200 over the weekend, so that we are removing pages of 1:15:06.280 --> 1:15:09.880 these groups that try to protest now these issues of 1:15:09.960 --> 1:15:11.760 this government overreach. I mean, this is a stuff that 1:15:11.840 --> 1:15:14.800 that really gets people were into political philosophy on the right, 1:15:15.320 --> 1:15:17.160 very fired up and very excited about it. I mean, 1:15:17.200 --> 1:15:20.559 this is the definition of these govern overreach measures. Look 1:15:20.560 --> 1:15:24.040 at Michigan, where you can't go fishing by yourself in 1:15:24.080 --> 1:15:27.760 the isolated Upper Peninsula, but you know, and you can't 1:15:27.960 --> 1:15:29.960 buy your own seeds from the hardware store to grow 1:15:29.960 --> 1:15:32.519 your own food, but you can still buy lottery tickets. 1:15:33.080 --> 1:15:36.000 The governor can still have her hair and make up 1:15:36.080 --> 1:15:39.160 done professionally and before she goes on TV for thirteen 1:15:39.200 --> 1:15:42.400 hours a day. But you can't go fishing. It's absolute 1:15:42.439 --> 1:15:45.800 government overreach. These you can't even buy furniture, doesn't want 1:15:45.840 --> 1:15:48.920 you decorating your homes. You can't visit your neighbors or 1:15:49.240 --> 1:15:53.679 family members. So just imagine if something the left really 1:15:53.720 --> 1:15:56.320 cares about saying these social media platforms started saying that 1:15:56.360 --> 1:16:00.920 Antifa couldn't hold their imaginary anti white suprema rallies whatever, 1:16:01.040 --> 1:16:03.880 How would the media be reacting, How would the left 1:16:03.960 --> 1:16:05.560 be reacting. I mean, it just goes to show that 1:16:05.640 --> 1:16:07.720 we know, all along as these double standards that the 1:16:07.840 --> 1:16:10.920 left is certainly the media is in the pocket of 1:16:10.960 --> 1:16:14.120 the government of the left is certainly on their side. Uh. 1:16:14.200 --> 1:16:18.599 And it's it's so egregious. These social media companies, obviously 1:16:18.640 --> 1:16:21.639 they're doing nothing different than they've been doing forever. Which 1:16:21.680 --> 1:16:24.640 is silencing voices on the right that they do not like. 1:16:25.360 --> 1:16:29.280 It used to be individual characters, individual individuals, the individual 1:16:29.320 --> 1:16:31.840 posts from people. Now it's these groups that just want 1:16:31.840 --> 1:16:36.680 to organize to speak their minds, and they now that 1:16:36.720 --> 1:16:40.400 we have this crisis and everyone is freaked out that 1:16:40.560 --> 1:16:45.719 these these giant tech companies are increasingly shameless and admitting 1:16:45.720 --> 1:16:47.960 how much control they have and how much centership they have. 1:16:48.080 --> 1:16:50.680 Google just the other day it was probably admitted that 1:16:50.720 --> 1:16:53.880 they're tracking people's movements by their cell phones in one 1:16:53.960 --> 1:16:56.400 hundred and thirty one countries to make sure that they're 1:16:56.640 --> 1:17:01.200 social distancing and staying at home. Clearly that they're being 1:17:01.240 --> 1:17:04.360 they're being enlisted, and it's willing by these companies. All 1:17:04.360 --> 1:17:05.800 of the companies, I'm sure would say that they can 1:17:05.840 --> 1:17:07.479 be regulated by the state. If they didn't, you know, 1:17:07.520 --> 1:17:09.800 there'd be some executive order right that that Facebook or 1:17:09.840 --> 1:17:12.559 Google has to share this data. They are being enlisted 1:17:12.600 --> 1:17:15.840 by the state to control what we can say, to 1:17:16.280 --> 1:17:20.280 prohibit gatherings for specifically for political issues and redress of government, 1:17:20.520 --> 1:17:24.320 and to share our movements with the government. That's that 1:17:24.600 --> 1:17:26.160 seems like this is the stuff that people have been 1:17:26.160 --> 1:17:29.720 talking about for a long time. Yeah, and anyone who 1:17:29.720 --> 1:17:32.519 ever made those comments about well, these are private companies, 1:17:32.520 --> 1:17:35.040 they can do whatever they want. That that I Roll 1:17:35.080 --> 1:17:38.559 and company. This just goes to show how how entwined 1:17:38.600 --> 1:17:41.000 they are with the governments in our states and our 1:17:41.000 --> 1:17:44.160 federal government because they also are building our websites. You know, 1:17:44.240 --> 1:17:46.680 the state governors and the medal governments are happy to 1:17:46.680 --> 1:17:49.960 say that Google is helping them with their unemployment websites, 1:17:50.000 --> 1:17:52.960 with their COVID nineteen websites. So these companies have been 1:17:53.000 --> 1:17:56.280 for a long time entrenched in the state and uh 1:17:56.360 --> 1:17:59.640 and now they you know they can. They are just 1:18:00.160 --> 1:18:02.800 waving in our faces. Because who's really going to get 1:18:02.880 --> 1:18:05.920 upset if a bunch of right wingers in Michigan wanted 1:18:05.960 --> 1:18:11.720 to get together and express their agrievances against the government. Uh. 1:18:11.760 --> 1:18:13.240 You may have also saw that tweet. I think it 1:18:13.280 --> 1:18:16.759 was last week North Carolina. A group in Raleigh wanted 1:18:16.800 --> 1:18:20.280 to organize in the police. The Raleigh Police Department tweeted 1:18:20.320 --> 1:18:23.720 that protesting is a non essential activity. Well, you want 1:18:23.720 --> 1:18:27.200 to get the blood boiling of any constitution, lover, then 1:18:27.320 --> 1:18:29.680 there you have it. And now there's one there's one 1:18:29.720 --> 1:18:32.160 topic that we're just we're switching gears here a little bit. 1:18:32.160 --> 1:18:33.960 But this this comes from you, Chadwick. So I wanted 1:18:33.960 --> 1:18:36.519 to give you an opportunity to explain what this is 1:18:36.760 --> 1:18:40.600 you want to discuss today. How quote Joe Exotic is 1:18:40.640 --> 1:18:46.200 the greatest living gay role model end quote, Please explain? Well, 1:18:46.240 --> 1:18:48.360 that came from a calm I wrote in the Spectator. 1:18:48.400 --> 1:18:50.639 Joe Exotic is, of course the star of Tiger King. 1:18:50.720 --> 1:18:54.200 That that I'm sure most your audience now you know 1:18:54.280 --> 1:18:56.840 you've been talking about it. Yeah, yeah, Who who would 1:18:56.840 --> 1:19:00.240 have thought that a gay, a gay man in heard 1:19:00.240 --> 1:19:03.160 print glitter who ran a private zoo in Oklahoma would 1:19:03.160 --> 1:19:05.560 have brought the nation together during the biggest crisis in 1:19:05.600 --> 1:19:08.720 our lifetimes. But he seems to have. Uh. Well, it's 1:19:08.760 --> 1:19:10.880 interesting because I love. What I love about him is 1:19:10.920 --> 1:19:13.839 he's the I Sir compared him to. He's the chaotic 1:19:13.880 --> 1:19:18.080 libertine right, and his arch nemesis, the Carol Baskin is 1:19:18.280 --> 1:19:23.160 so perfectly this authoritarian uptight. She's so Hillary Clinton in 1:19:23.160 --> 1:19:25.160 a way, he's so Donald Trump. I think that's why 1:19:25.320 --> 1:19:28.160 a lot a lot of what one of the reasons 1:19:28.160 --> 1:19:31.240 why this show is resonated, because we're still reliving those 1:19:31.920 --> 1:19:34.880 two forces in our society and these two in this 1:19:35.160 --> 1:19:38.760 in this weird microcosm of private zookeeping, so perfectly put 1:19:38.760 --> 1:19:41.120 it together. But one thing that's interesting too is you 1:19:41.439 --> 1:19:46.479 might know, sure, he's got very sordid and grim life. 1:19:46.520 --> 1:19:48.280 You know, there's drugs around him all the time. He 1:19:48.360 --> 1:19:52.280 seduces men constantly, but he's also he throws a wrench 1:19:52.360 --> 1:19:56.479 into the whole gay lobbies narrative that that and this 1:19:56.560 --> 1:19:58.599 is something I've known for a long time, being from 1:19:58.880 --> 1:20:01.559 a rural part of Tennis. See that you know that 1:20:01.640 --> 1:20:04.400 the Red State America, places like Oklahoma are filled with 1:20:04.439 --> 1:20:08.120 these homo hunting bigots, right when actually it's more of 1:20:08.120 --> 1:20:10.360 this sort of in group mentality. It always has been 1:20:10.400 --> 1:20:12.400 that like, yeah, you know, there's gonna be differences, but 1:20:12.439 --> 1:20:16.400 someone like him, he celebrated his community and he's wildly 1:20:16.439 --> 1:20:20.719 homosexual and out there. Um and as it really destroys 1:20:20.720 --> 1:20:25.439 that narrative about about the blanket bigotry of Trump Country 1:20:25.439 --> 1:20:28.000 and Red America. And uh, I just have to ask, 1:20:28.320 --> 1:20:30.880 do you think he's guilty or you think he got 1:20:30.880 --> 1:20:33.880 set up? I think he got set up. I think 1:20:33.920 --> 1:20:36.920 he's another one of these examples I do now I 1:20:37.040 --> 1:20:41.360 think that he um excuse me not covid um. I 1:20:41.400 --> 1:20:44.639 think that he It seems like and we and we've 1:20:44.680 --> 1:20:50.920 seen this with lots of high profile trials lately, like, um, 1:20:50.960 --> 1:20:52.479 you're gonna get some letters when I say this, But 1:20:52.600 --> 1:20:54.600 Harvey Weinstein, and I'm happy to go into why I 1:20:54.600 --> 1:20:57.400 feel that way, and with Roger Stone with a much 1:20:57.479 --> 1:21:01.920 better of these high profile trials where and where government 1:21:01.960 --> 1:21:04.400 resources are poured into investigate something and they got to 1:21:04.400 --> 1:21:07.760 come up with something. They've got to something like over 1:21:07.960 --> 1:21:11.040 ninety nine percent of fedbroal cases end up in a 1:21:11.040 --> 1:21:13.519 guilty verdict or plea. I mean in the better vermic car. 1:21:13.560 --> 1:21:16.880 I think it's ninety seven, but yeah, ninety seven. This 1:21:16.920 --> 1:21:18.960 is a fedbroal case. So the fish and wildlife came 1:21:19.000 --> 1:21:20.760 in the FBI. So I don't think it was a 1:21:20.840 --> 1:21:24.040 murderer higher plot against Susan Baskin. I mean that if 1:21:24.040 --> 1:21:28.400 you watch the film, it's extremely flimsy evidence, but with 1:21:28.439 --> 1:21:32.599 the abusing animals, probably seems like he had some tigers 1:21:32.600 --> 1:21:35.920 that he owned were maybe sick or too aggressive, and 1:21:35.920 --> 1:21:38.000 he just took out himself, killed them and buried him. 1:21:38.040 --> 1:21:40.280 I'm just gonna say this thing the one of the 1:21:40.320 --> 1:21:43.160 only things one of the only things that the American 1:21:43.240 --> 1:21:47.400 people in general will not abide. I mean, you know, murderer. 1:21:47.479 --> 1:21:50.080 Higher people might be able to say, you know, we 1:21:50.160 --> 1:21:53.519 all make mistakes. You know, you serve your time. You 1:21:53.520 --> 1:21:57.680 you abuse and or kill animals like you know, you know, 1:21:57.800 --> 1:22:01.479 in an abusive and abusive way. People are out for you. Man, 1:22:01.560 --> 1:22:04.280 They're coming for you. It is especially I mean especially 1:22:04.360 --> 1:22:08.120 dogs or cats, but tigers, cool animals like that too. 1:22:08.320 --> 1:22:11.040 M The American people will not abide that at all. 1:22:11.080 --> 1:22:13.760 So I think you're right in that the opinion of 1:22:13.760 --> 1:22:16.200 the jury and everything, it wasn't the murder for higher thing. 1:22:16.240 --> 1:22:18.160 That's a little more like, well maybe he did, maybe 1:22:18.160 --> 1:22:20.400 he didn't. It's oh, I'm sorry you were abusing. You 1:22:20.439 --> 1:22:23.000 were abusing these beautiful big cats that you were entrusted with. 1:22:23.560 --> 1:22:25.960 Unacceptable way. But but but hold on a second. There's one 1:22:25.960 --> 1:22:29.479 other thing. What do you have? Oh gosh, I'm like, 1:22:29.520 --> 1:22:31.400 how much trouble do I feel like? Really starting her? 1:22:31.880 --> 1:22:34.639 Do you have a little bit of a counter counter 1:22:34.720 --> 1:22:37.879 the narrative, a counter consensus, I should say, on Harvey Weinstein, 1:22:37.920 --> 1:22:41.200 are you one of those? I do? Yeah? I wrote 1:22:41.200 --> 1:22:44.000 about it too, because I mean, look, he's disgusting, he's 1:22:44.000 --> 1:22:46.519 a scumbag. But if you actually look at what he 1:22:46.560 --> 1:22:48.800 was convicted of, and you look at the charges, so 1:22:48.920 --> 1:22:52.120 you had, you know, something like one hundred women accused 1:22:52.240 --> 1:22:56.360 him of various levels of appropriate sexual behavior, sexual assault 1:22:56.400 --> 1:22:59.160 or whatever that range from lots of different things. It's 1:22:59.160 --> 1:23:01.679 a trial in New York. Only two women, right, they 1:23:01.720 --> 1:23:05.160 were several years old accusations. There were women that after 1:23:05.240 --> 1:23:08.000 they were together, you know, sent him loving text messages. 1:23:08.080 --> 1:23:10.400 I know they had continued relationships. I talked about this 1:23:10.439 --> 1:23:12.160 on my show, So I'm not I'm not about to, 1:23:12.439 --> 1:23:14.320 you know, slam this down and say, oh, we can't 1:23:14.320 --> 1:23:16.680 have his discussion. Yeah. Well, the thing that gets me 1:23:16.680 --> 1:23:18.400 about him is nobody with doubt that he's not a 1:23:18.400 --> 1:23:21.920 disgusting person. But but look at the culture behind that 1:23:22.000 --> 1:23:23.880 sent waynian that was another thing that was a jury 1:23:23.880 --> 1:23:26.160 of public opinion he had. He got twenty three years 1:23:26.400 --> 1:23:29.080 where he said, she said, And when you look at 1:23:29.120 --> 1:23:33.080 the actual charges, it's so of course the media ran 1:23:33.160 --> 1:23:35.960 with convicted of rap in all the headlines New York Times, 1:23:35.960 --> 1:23:38.920 blah blah. Well yeah, but not really. I mean, when 1:23:38.960 --> 1:23:41.879 you think of rape, you think of violent first degree felonies, 1:23:41.920 --> 1:23:44.639 sexual assault. He was actually convicted of like third degree 1:23:44.760 --> 1:23:48.920 statutory rate, but when you read it, it's actually the 1:23:49.120 --> 1:23:53.280 victim felt that they were unable to consent because of 1:23:53.400 --> 1:23:57.200 circumstance or physical the person, the other person's you know, 1:23:57.240 --> 1:23:59.680 physical problems. So basically like she felt she couldn't say 1:23:59.720 --> 1:24:01.519 no because he was fat, because he was powerful, so 1:24:01.520 --> 1:24:03.240 she never said yes. She never said no. You know, 1:24:03.320 --> 1:24:05.599 this is all this is kind of like nippicky stuff. 1:24:05.600 --> 1:24:08.120 But the reason why and I have still remain interested 1:24:08.160 --> 1:24:11.360 in this case is this culture is coming for everyone. 1:24:11.520 --> 1:24:13.320 He just happened to be the worst one. Everyone knew 1:24:13.400 --> 1:24:15.880 this was happening in Hollywood. But every man out there 1:24:16.160 --> 1:24:19.200 if Harvey Weinstein get twenty three years or he said 1:24:19.280 --> 1:24:22.839 she said from several years ago, and the charges are basically, 1:24:23.120 --> 1:24:26.120 he had some grim sexual encounter with someone and she 1:24:26.160 --> 1:24:29.599 didn't say yes, but she didn't say no. And where 1:24:29.640 --> 1:24:32.160 is that needing our culture? You know? I mean, at 1:24:32.200 --> 1:24:34.639 least he did get due process. I've been saying, look 1:24:34.680 --> 1:24:37.000 look at what they've done or whoever. Yeah, and I've 1:24:37.000 --> 1:24:38.400 been starting to cut you off. We have a delay, 1:24:38.439 --> 1:24:41.080 but look at what they've done with with Kavanaugh, and 1:24:41.120 --> 1:24:43.120 now what they've tried to do with Biden. By the 1:24:43.320 --> 1:24:46.480 standard will be weaponized to the utmost when it's politically, 1:24:47.000 --> 1:24:49.439 you know, useful, and it will also be discarded the 1:24:49.439 --> 1:24:51.880 moment that it's it's problematic. And as I've said, the 1:24:51.960 --> 1:24:53.920 standard that they have said with Yancy and I by 1:24:53.920 --> 1:24:56.200 the way, I actually completely I hadn't heard your analysis. 1:24:56.240 --> 1:24:58.320 I completely agree with you. Okay, I think that this 1:24:58.400 --> 1:25:00.680 is I think that this is an and so and 1:25:00.800 --> 1:25:02.479 you and I would get yelled at for this by 1:25:02.479 --> 1:25:04.120 a whole lot of people, but I think we're right. 1:25:05.680 --> 1:25:09.160 I continue to have to say that someone is guilty 1:25:09.240 --> 1:25:12.439 of rape in a circumstance like this, with so little 1:25:12.479 --> 1:25:14.960 evidence to say it's beyond a reasonable doubt. And a 1:25:15.040 --> 1:25:20.599 continuing relationship does not cast sexual relationship willful. Sexual relation 1:25:20.760 --> 1:25:24.719 does not cast any doubt on the allegation that's setting 1:25:24.800 --> 1:25:29.040 up people for down the line. Anybody can, as they say, 1:25:29.120 --> 1:25:31.519 get got by this one. Anybody could be in a 1:25:31.520 --> 1:25:33.200 whole lot of trouble. There's really no way to how 1:25:33.240 --> 1:25:35.080 do you defend yourself someone says, oh that one night, 1:25:35.160 --> 1:25:37.840 you know of the hundreds of times. But anyway, Chadwick, 1:25:37.880 --> 1:25:39.720 I think we've caused enough trouble for today. My friend, 1:25:39.720 --> 1:25:41.759 how are you doing out in Brooklyn? You staying safe 1:25:41.800 --> 1:25:45.200 and staying indoors? I am, you know, yeah, you know, 1:25:45.240 --> 1:25:47.640 I've worked from homes and not just chains. And you 1:25:47.640 --> 1:25:50.320 know my house looks great. I've been gardening and anything. 1:25:50.400 --> 1:25:52.800 And I'll tell you what I've noticed as Brooklyn nights 1:25:52.800 --> 1:25:55.479 in my neighborhood are not I'm not gonna snitch by 1:25:55.520 --> 1:25:58.439 any means, but I've noticed they're a little defiance. They're 1:25:58.479 --> 1:26:01.200 not wearing the masks, They're ye out, They're out and 1:26:01.240 --> 1:26:05.880 about the big you are people in Manhattan. The big 1:26:05.920 --> 1:26:08.040 pushback is coming, my friend. We'll have you back on 1:26:08.080 --> 1:26:10.680 to talk about that and more. Chadwick more everyone. Check 1:26:10.760 --> 1:26:13.080 him out at the Spectator USA, follow him on the 1:26:13.120 --> 1:26:18.479 social media chatbock. Thanks so much, you're in the Freedom Hunt. 1:26:18.920 --> 1:26:25.080 This is the buck Sexton Show podcast.

Okay, Now, my friends, let's oh 1:28:11.320 --> 1:28:15.120 Don Lemon had some thoughts play sixteen. Does a president 1:28:15.200 --> 1:28:17.840 not understand that him coming out there every day and 1:28:17.880 --> 1:28:21.360 acting like a jerk is not going to help him 1:28:21.360 --> 1:28:24.040 with the American people. The American people are tired of it. 1:28:24.520 --> 1:28:27.280 It shows in the polling, and people are watching every 1:28:27.400 --> 1:28:31.320 day because they want information about saving lives. They want 1:28:31.320 --> 1:28:33.120 to know where they are when they can actually go 1:28:33.160 --> 1:28:35.439 back to work, and not about what a great job 1:28:35.520 --> 1:28:39.400 he's doing. When everyone knows there's not enough testing, people 1:28:39.560 --> 1:28:41.240 don't want to go back to work if there's not 1:28:41.360 --> 1:28:43.679 enough testing. People are reticined to go back to work 1:28:43.760 --> 1:28:47.240 if there aren't tests if they don't know, if they 1:28:47.280 --> 1:28:50.479 have antibodies, if that's actually going to protect them from 1:28:50.520 --> 1:28:54.120 getting this virus. Is there a disconnect in the White 1:28:54.120 --> 1:28:57.479 House with this president? Does anybody talk to him about that? 1:28:58.160 --> 1:29:00.799 Does anyone have the courage to stand up to this person, 1:29:01.000 --> 1:29:03.080 to this bully as we see him in this briefing 1:29:03.160 --> 1:29:07.280 room every day, to give him a real talk and say, hey, listen, 1:29:07.520 --> 1:29:09.000 you need to get out there and tell the American 1:29:09.040 --> 1:29:13.000 people the truth and stop acting like a big bully. Now. 1:29:13.000 --> 1:29:14.599 I know that was really stupid, right, but I made 1:29:14.600 --> 1:29:17.280 you listen to it because just remember, folks, CNN claims 1:29:17.320 --> 1:29:21.200 that that individual is not an opinion commentator, but that 1:29:21.280 --> 1:29:26.559 Don Lemon is a journalist, a news anchor, journalist. Thanks 1:29:26.560 --> 1:29:30.440 for listening to the Bust Show podcast. Remember to subscribe 1:29:30.479 --> 1:29:33.960 on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get 1:29:34.000 --> 1:29:38.720 your podcasts. Roll Call and today at the Roll Call, 1:29:38.760 --> 1:29:41.280 I say go to Bucksexton dot com and we should 1:29:41.320 --> 1:29:44.519 also put producer Mark. Let's make a note. Let's make 1:29:44.520 --> 1:29:47.680 it so that people can send us comments at bucksexton 1:29:48.080 --> 1:29:50.559 dot com. Somehow can we put up like a comment 1:29:50.640 --> 1:29:53.680 board or something, you know, the technological things all right, 1:29:53.760 --> 1:29:56.639 We'll reach out to our website people because we now 1:29:56.680 --> 1:29:59.960 have website people. Yeah, so, yes, we have a team. 1:30:00.120 --> 1:30:02.040 We're all working together on this. So so we're gonna 1:30:02.040 --> 1:30:04.040 try to set up so you can also maybe we 1:30:04.120 --> 1:30:06.680 even set up some kind of a you know, a 1:30:06.680 --> 1:30:09.599 comment boarded people they can they can post comments. There 1:30:09.800 --> 1:30:11.320 may be great to have one place for all of 1:30:11.360 --> 1:30:13.599 Team Buck to be able to converse with each other. 1:30:14.479 --> 1:30:17.240 And yeah, there we go. So let's let's keep it. 1:30:17.320 --> 1:30:19.599 Let's keep it going, folks. That's the plan. That's how 1:30:19.600 --> 1:30:21.880 we roll. That is what we are going for here. 1:30:22.760 --> 1:30:24.719 It is for twenty today. But I don't think anyone's 1:30:24.720 --> 1:30:26.559 gonna be making a lot of weed jokes. No one's 1:30:26.560 --> 1:30:29.200 really feeling that right now. Although I bet, I bet 1:30:29.280 --> 1:30:33.160 weed sales in places where it's quasi legal. Remember it's 1:30:33.200 --> 1:30:35.000 never legal in the federal sense, but it's legal in 1:30:35.000 --> 1:30:39.679 the states sense. I bet weed sales have gone very high, 1:30:40.000 --> 1:30:44.720 very high in this whole process, unintended. See what I 1:30:44.720 --> 1:30:47.400 did there, I don't even mean to, but the jokes 1:30:47.439 --> 1:30:51.960 they still happen. Roll call let's do it, hey, Buck, 1:30:52.200 --> 1:30:54.800 this is don I'm one of the essential workers that 1:30:54.880 --> 1:30:58.760 rarely gets to mention delivering grub Hub and door Dash 1:30:58.800 --> 1:31:01.959 out here and right now. But I'm a displaced islander 1:31:02.600 --> 1:31:04.799 escape New York in nineteen ninety nine do the shooting 1:31:04.800 --> 1:31:07.400 on the Long Island Railroad and the First Trade Center bombing. 1:31:07.880 --> 1:31:09.840 I'm almost in the age danger zone for this, but 1:31:09.840 --> 1:31:11.559 I wanted to get out and help the restaurants stay 1:31:11.560 --> 1:31:13.559 alive out here. I felt it was my mission to 1:31:13.560 --> 1:31:15.200 help out keep up the good work and shield time. 1:31:15.200 --> 1:31:18.479 I Man love the show. Well, don thank you for 1:31:18.520 --> 1:31:20.439 doing what you're doing. Man, you are you're helping. You're 1:31:20.479 --> 1:31:22.680 providing a lifeline to these restaurants and the people who 1:31:22.680 --> 1:31:25.160 work in them, and also people in the community. You know. 1:31:25.200 --> 1:31:27.880 The only thing right now that it allows me to 1:31:27.880 --> 1:31:31.360 have really have human contact in my day to day 1:31:31.439 --> 1:31:35.640 other than getting to get to get some chat with 1:31:35.680 --> 1:31:38.720 producer Mark going here is I see somebody. Actually I 1:31:38.720 --> 1:31:40.680 don't even really see them anymore. That's true that they 1:31:40.680 --> 1:31:43.040 do that they drop it at the door. So but 1:31:43.200 --> 1:31:47.000 at least it's a nice little surprise like oh Thai food. Yeah, 1:31:47.240 --> 1:31:49.400 you know, it's it's look, we all meet our little things, 1:31:49.439 --> 1:31:52.800 our a little moment of things are not normal. But 1:31:52.880 --> 1:31:54.920 at least they're still ways you can have something to 1:31:54.920 --> 1:31:56.479 look forward to day in and day out. So don 1:31:56.520 --> 1:31:58.680 thank you for doing what you're doing and out there 1:31:58.680 --> 1:32:03.360 in Colorado. Huh hm, Freedom ninety three seven in Denver. 1:32:04.000 --> 1:32:05.840 We love you, guys. Thank you for continuing to listen 1:32:05.840 --> 1:32:10.000 to the show. Mike write saying, hey, bucking producer Mark. 1:32:10.080 --> 1:32:12.720 I work in a large Fort Worth hospital. It is 1:32:12.760 --> 1:32:16.280 a ghost town right now. We have almost nine hundred 1:32:16.320 --> 1:32:20.560 beds and currently have about four hundred patients. Our emergency 1:32:20.600 --> 1:32:23.160 department normally has one hundred and fifty at any one time. 1:32:23.640 --> 1:32:26.280 Now usually has about twenty to twenty five at any 1:32:26.360 --> 1:32:30.160 given time, down sixty five percent in patient volume with 1:32:30.360 --> 1:32:33.040 nearly four thousand employees. I don't see how this hospital 1:32:33.080 --> 1:32:34.800 is going to make it without the Feds paying for 1:32:34.880 --> 1:32:38.200 the service that they shut down. Mike, thank you for 1:32:38.280 --> 1:32:40.639 reaching out. I've been talking about this. I'm gonna continue 1:32:40.640 --> 1:32:43.479 to follow it. The federal government is forcing hospitals in 1:32:43.479 --> 1:32:46.919 the name of in the name of expanding and protecting 1:32:46.920 --> 1:32:52.640 our healthcare capacity, the federal government is forcing some hospitals 1:32:52.680 --> 1:32:54.880 to go bankrupt. That's what's gonna happen here. That's why 1:32:54.880 --> 1:32:56.680 they're they're gonna need to have a huge bailout for 1:32:56.680 --> 1:33:00.280 the hospitals. Everyone's gonna be asking for bailouts. There's no business. 1:33:01.320 --> 1:33:03.960 Hospitals are furloughing employees all over the place. They have 1:33:04.000 --> 1:33:08.240 no money coming in. And most hospitals don't have a 1:33:08.320 --> 1:33:10.479 huge COVID problem. Vast majority of them don't have a 1:33:10.520 --> 1:33:13.920 huge COVID problem. So what are we doing? This is 1:33:13.920 --> 1:33:16.479 the world we're living in right now. Government says we do, 1:33:16.640 --> 1:33:21.120 We don't question Greg. Greetings, Buck, thanks so much for 1:33:21.160 --> 1:33:23.640 having Devin Newness on the show yesterday. I was so 1:33:23.720 --> 1:33:27.599 relieved to hear the pressure continue to run the Russia scam. 1:33:28.479 --> 1:33:30.920 That the pressure continues to run the Russia scam to ground. 1:33:31.640 --> 1:33:34.120 I'm hopeful this effort will eventually to prison time for 1:33:34.240 --> 1:33:37.160 deserving miscrey and such as Brennan, Clapper and Hillary. I 1:33:37.200 --> 1:33:40.240 would also like to see the investigation expanded. How many 1:33:40.280 --> 1:33:42.640 years ago did Shift learn the Russia hoax was just 1:33:42.680 --> 1:33:46.720 a Hillary dream? Yet he pursued character assassination, slander, and 1:33:46.840 --> 1:33:50.800 impeachment under false pretenses with his claims that the Shift 1:33:50.800 --> 1:33:55.439 fabricated phone call content demonstrated a continuing pattern of Trump's 1:33:55.439 --> 1:33:58.880 seeking alliances with other countries to interfere in US elections. 1:33:58.880 --> 1:34:00.760 Thanks for all the great research and guests. Pass my 1:34:00.840 --> 1:34:04.599 regards to Lulah and Producer Mark. She'll tie well. Producer 1:34:04.600 --> 1:34:06.240 Mark will certainly get it to Lula. Right now is 1:34:06.240 --> 1:34:08.360 passed out on the couch in the sunlight. That's her 1:34:08.360 --> 1:34:11.160 favorite thing. She has a good setup. I gotta say, 1:34:11.600 --> 1:34:15.080 you know, it's uh. She rejected. I made her two 1:34:15.120 --> 1:34:17.640 different I cooked for her two different meals over the 1:34:17.680 --> 1:34:20.040 weekend for her dog food, because we don't give her 1:34:20.040 --> 1:34:22.240 dog food. We give her like human food that's men 1:34:22.320 --> 1:34:24.439 for dogs, so not men for dogs, but that dogs 1:34:24.439 --> 1:34:26.960 can eat, you know, chicken and ground beef and things 1:34:26.960 --> 1:34:29.439 like that. She rejected two bowls. Producer Mark. I had 1:34:29.479 --> 1:34:31.200 to make her a third meal before she would actually 1:34:31.240 --> 1:34:33.639 eat it. She she swats the bowl away with her 1:34:33.640 --> 1:34:36.719 nose when she it's like, get this out of my face, peasant, 1:34:36.920 --> 1:34:39.640 bring me real food. Now. What do you do with 1:34:39.680 --> 1:34:44.120 the food that she doesn't eat? Well, Usually she's kind 1:34:44.120 --> 1:34:45.360 of like licked it and sniffed it and it's a 1:34:45.400 --> 1:34:48.160 little gross, so we kind of toss it. Okay, that's 1:34:48.160 --> 1:34:50.679 where I was hoping. Oh okay. I was like, dude, 1:34:50.720 --> 1:34:53.200 I mean, are you trying to be wasteful or anything, 1:34:53.240 --> 1:34:55.000 But usually if the dog is already sniffed it and 1:34:55.000 --> 1:34:56.800 licked at it and everything else. And also yes, I 1:34:56.880 --> 1:34:58.920 mix in, I do have dry food for the dog 1:34:59.400 --> 1:35:01.240 that does not smell particularly good that you put in 1:35:01.280 --> 1:35:04.040 with the chicken and stuff. So like I'm not eating 1:35:04.040 --> 1:35:06.120 that stuff. Well, then I understand why she wouldn't want 1:35:06.120 --> 1:35:09.439 to eat it that stuff scross. Yeah, yeah, that's true. 1:35:09.560 --> 1:35:15.320 So she's very she's very snooty or snouty perhaps, as 1:35:15.360 --> 1:35:19.040 the case may be, Adam Buck. Here in Michigan, we're 1:35:19.080 --> 1:35:22.920 seeing the beginnings of we will not comply. Seeing lots 1:35:22.920 --> 1:35:25.000 of fights on social media. Have been involved in a few. 1:35:25.040 --> 1:35:27.400 As you say, the argument always evolves into you want 1:35:27.400 --> 1:35:31.599 to kill Grandma, keep up the swoop and shields eye, yeah, Adam. 1:35:31.600 --> 1:35:33.760 And people are dug in out to their trenches on this. 1:35:33.840 --> 1:35:35.519 They don't want to look at facts and logic. They 1:35:35.600 --> 1:35:37.080 just want to they want to be right, and they 1:35:37.080 --> 1:35:38.880 want other people to do what they tell them to do, 1:35:39.760 --> 1:35:41.519 which is a you know, I think there's a really 1:35:41.560 --> 1:35:46.639 deep philosophical separation between those of us who want want 1:35:46.680 --> 1:35:49.040 personal freedom and want others to have the same and 1:35:49.120 --> 1:35:52.679 those who for whom freedom is a constant threat. Individual 1:35:52.680 --> 1:35:55.920 freedom is a constant threat to their perception of a 1:35:56.000 --> 1:35:58.519 good and ordered society, and they really think that the smarter, 1:35:58.640 --> 1:36:00.680 better people should be telling the other people what to 1:36:00.720 --> 1:36:02.680 do all the time. They're known as liberals, which is 1:36:02.720 --> 1:36:05.280 a bad name for them because they oppose liberty but 1:36:05.400 --> 1:36:09.880 the left. But it's more than just the designation as 1:36:09.960 --> 1:36:12.240 political left. It's really a mindset. I think this is 1:36:12.280 --> 1:36:16.360 a deep, deep separation in the brain between those who 1:36:17.000 --> 1:36:19.200 think that human beings should be able to pursue their 1:36:19.200 --> 1:36:21.960 own destiny and you know, within some limits. Obviously, I'm 1:36:21.960 --> 1:36:23.920 not I'm not an anarchist who's saying that we should 1:36:23.920 --> 1:36:25.960 have no government and nothing, but that we should have 1:36:26.040 --> 1:36:28.240 day to day choices and freedom, and the other people 1:36:28.240 --> 1:36:33.240 out there who think that anyone's real freedom is a 1:36:33.960 --> 1:36:39.479 threat to their sense of order and safety and safety 1:36:39.560 --> 1:36:42.599 not just meaning physical safety, but their emotional safety, their 1:36:42.640 --> 1:36:47.000 psychological safety. This is, like I've told you the line 1:36:47.040 --> 1:36:50.599 about a Puritan is someone who worries that someone somewhere 1:36:50.680 --> 1:36:53.439 might actually be having a good time. In America today, 1:36:53.560 --> 1:36:58.439 a liberal is a person who someone somewhere is very 1:36:58.520 --> 1:37:01.840 concerned that someone might actually be living a free and 1:37:01.960 --> 1:37:06.559 prosperous life without being told what to do all the time. Also, 1:37:06.760 --> 1:37:07.880 I mentioned this at the top of the show. I 1:37:07.880 --> 1:37:09.400 wanted to get to get back to it. If you're 1:37:09.400 --> 1:37:12.840 looking for books to read, a Homage to Catalonia is 1:37:13.600 --> 1:37:18.280 Orwell's third best work in my opinion, or most perhaps 1:37:18.360 --> 1:37:20.680 most powerful work. It's act. You could argue, I mean 1:37:20.720 --> 1:37:24.120 it's better. Well, no, Animal Farm is amazing for what 1:37:24.160 --> 1:37:25.639 it is. I was gonna say, you can maybe argue 1:37:25.680 --> 1:37:30.120 in nineteen eighty four is the best, but Homage Homage 1:37:30.120 --> 1:37:34.559 to Catalonia is nonfiction. It's about George Orwell's time. By 1:37:34.600 --> 1:37:37.000 the way, you asked me for book recommendations. If you 1:37:37.040 --> 1:37:40.679 have not read nineteen eighty four, Animal Farm, and Homage 1:37:40.720 --> 1:37:45.200 to Catalonia one, two, all three, those should be top 1:37:45.240 --> 1:37:48.559 of your read pile right now. To everybody listening, if 1:37:48.600 --> 1:37:51.360 you have not read those books, please read at least 1:37:51.439 --> 1:37:54.320 one while we're all in lockdown. The first one, I 1:37:54.320 --> 1:37:57.160 would say as nineteen eighty four for the adults, maybe 1:37:57.160 --> 1:37:59.360 then how Mage to Catalonia, and then maybe Animal Farm. 1:37:59.400 --> 1:38:01.360 But you should read all of them and they won't 1:38:01.400 --> 1:38:03.320 take you long. Those are books you should all read. 1:38:03.800 --> 1:38:07.439 And but I just noted this, that Orwell. This was 1:38:07.520 --> 1:38:09.799 making the rounds on social media the weekend that Orwell 1:38:09.840 --> 1:38:14.880 had this quote because he hated journalists, because journalists are 1:38:14.960 --> 1:38:19.799 generally very often very bad and self interested in gross people. Quote, 1:38:19.800 --> 1:38:21.559 it was the first time I had seen a person 1:38:21.680 --> 1:38:25.559 this is referring, I think, to communist communist agit prop 1:38:25.760 --> 1:38:28.600 inside of the Spanish Civil War. Oh that's what how 1:38:28.680 --> 1:38:30.800 much the Catalonian is about? Is that Orwell was fighting 1:38:30.840 --> 1:38:34.599 on the side of the Well, fighting on the side 1:38:34.600 --> 1:38:37.439 of the communist against the fascists in the Spanish Civil War, 1:38:38.240 --> 1:38:39.760 And he said it was the first time that I 1:38:39.800 --> 1:38:42.360 had seen a person whose profession was telling lies. Unless 1:38:42.400 --> 1:38:46.120 one counts the journalists, I do not suppose I should 1:38:46.120 --> 1:38:49.080 exaggerate if I said that nine tenths of it is untruthful. 1:38:49.520 --> 1:38:52.439 Nearly all the newspaper accounts published at the time were 1:38:52.439 --> 1:38:55.200 manufactured by journalists at a distance, and we're not only 1:38:55.240 --> 1:39:04.120 inaccurate in their facts but intentionally misleading. So yeah, journalists, 1:39:04.400 --> 1:39:09.360 bad bad, not I do not have a good record 1:39:09.360 --> 1:39:11.680 for truth telling. Just look up Walter Duranti if you 1:39:11.680 --> 1:39:13.559 want to know how much you know they're really there, 1:39:13.560 --> 1:39:17.280 really elite journos. What what kind of ethics they often display? 1:39:18.040 --> 1:39:20.439 So we're we're in roll call. I'm sorry I got 1:39:20.479 --> 1:39:23.960 a little distracted. Um, but as for the swoop, the 1:39:24.000 --> 1:39:25.639 swoop is out of control. I don't know. I might 1:39:25.640 --> 1:39:27.760 have to go. The producer Mark has a has a 1:39:27.800 --> 1:39:29.760 buzz cut, and I might be heading. I might be 1:39:29.800 --> 1:39:33.120 following in his footsteps. Yeah, my wife just cut my hair. Like, 1:39:33.160 --> 1:39:35.960 I'm pretty much balled right now. There we go. Hey, 1:39:36.080 --> 1:39:37.080 how long did it take you when you get to 1:39:37.160 --> 1:39:39.080 the shower to dry that dry that bad boy? Like 1:39:39.320 --> 1:39:41.920 half a second? Yeah, that's where I thought. You need 1:39:41.960 --> 1:39:45.360 a blow dryer and all those tools, don't you. Oh yeah, 1:39:45.400 --> 1:39:49.800 all the king's horses and all the king's men. You're in. 1:39:51.120 --> 1:39:57.679 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I will say 1:39:57.720 --> 1:40:00.360 I did cook a lot over the weekend, and we're 1:40:00.680 --> 1:40:05.679 now going to uh, we'll start referring to my special 1:40:05.840 --> 1:40:10.040 the executive chef of all things Buck and Quarantine is 1:40:10.439 --> 1:40:14.200 my girlfriend, current lady lady friend, who we can refer 1:40:14.280 --> 1:40:17.120 to now and code name as snow Princess because that 1:40:17.200 --> 1:40:18.720 is in fact what I call her. Because she's from 1:40:18.720 --> 1:40:22.000 a very snowy, very cold part of the country and 1:40:22.120 --> 1:40:27.400 snow Princess and I made amazing food this weekend and 1:40:27.479 --> 1:40:30.800 we made so I'm always in charge of the red 1:40:30.800 --> 1:40:33.240 meat and the and the protein. At least I shouldn't 1:40:33.240 --> 1:40:34.920 say always in charge, but that's my favorite thing to 1:40:34.960 --> 1:40:37.080 be She's gonna yell me for saying that. I'm just kidding, honey, 1:40:37.320 --> 1:40:39.080 but that's my favorite thing to be in charge of. 1:40:39.920 --> 1:40:42.400 She's in charge of all the fancy. I mean, she 1:40:42.520 --> 1:40:45.280 made chocolate chip cookies from scratch, the best choco hip 1:40:45.320 --> 1:40:48.320 cookies I've ever had. She made burnette sauce for the burgers. 1:40:48.840 --> 1:40:51.800 She made risotto with shrimp. I mean I helped a 1:40:51.840 --> 1:40:53.800 little bit chopping some onions, but she made risotto with 1:40:53.840 --> 1:40:56.519 shrimp and calamari. And I'm just gonna say this. Producer Mark, 1:40:56.920 --> 1:40:59.360 I posted some photos of this for Team Buck to see, 1:40:59.680 --> 1:41:02.800 and the food was all delicious. A lot of Team 1:41:02.800 --> 1:41:05.400 Buck talking smack about calamari. Where do you fall on 1:41:05.400 --> 1:41:09.840 the scale about liking it? Yes, so a funny story 1:41:09.840 --> 1:41:12.000 about calamari When I was a child. You know those 1:41:12.040 --> 1:41:13.960 buffets in New York City where you just get like 1:41:14.000 --> 1:41:16.479 a container, you put a bunch in and then your 1:41:16.479 --> 1:41:19.240 way if you pay that much money. I got a 1:41:19.240 --> 1:41:21.040 bunch when I was a child and thought it was 1:41:21.080 --> 1:41:24.040 onion rings. So then I eat it and I was disgusted. 1:41:24.840 --> 1:41:27.639 But then later on in life I try calamari. It's 1:41:27.680 --> 1:41:31.120 not bad. It's not bad on calamari, like it's not something. 1:41:31.200 --> 1:41:34.200 If it's made, well, fine, I will eat it. I 1:41:34.280 --> 1:41:36.880 like it. If it's made portally, you know that you're 1:41:36.920 --> 1:41:39.559 eating octopus. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna call out 1:41:39.600 --> 1:41:42.120 team Buck right now. A lot of calamari haters out 1:41:42.120 --> 1:41:44.639 there in this audience across the country. I was surprised 1:41:44.640 --> 1:41:48.320 to see all that shrimp. They're cool. What they're cool? Shrimp, calamari, 1:41:48.400 --> 1:41:50.960 no dice, unaccepted. There are some people I know that 1:41:51.040 --> 1:41:53.040 if it was in the water, they don't want it. 1:41:53.040 --> 1:41:56.280 It's disgusting to them. Really Yeah, well that to me, 1:41:56.320 --> 1:41:59.519 I've never come across that. That's that's crazy. What is 1:41:59.560 --> 1:42:03.160 by the way, with with the kosher, it's just no shellfish, 1:42:03.240 --> 1:42:06.080 right yeah, no other fish okay, but no shellfish yet 1:42:06.080 --> 1:42:08.240 that's what I thought. I do not keep kosher. I 1:42:08.280 --> 1:42:12.640 love shrimp, yeah, shrimp plot I mean, shellfish is my 1:42:12.680 --> 1:42:17.040 favorite of the fish. So I'm one of those, Andy, 1:42:17.280 --> 1:42:18.760 but I like to share it because I don't want 1:42:18.760 --> 1:42:22.920 to be shellfish. Oh yeah, I deserve that. Hey, I 1:42:23.040 --> 1:42:25.200 was a load for the for the well, actually I 1:42:25.200 --> 1:42:28.040 wasn't alone this week. Let's let's a lie. Uh. I 1:42:28.080 --> 1:42:31.400 was gonna say, I have no I have no I 1:42:31.520 --> 1:42:35.400 have no justification for that bad joke, Andy, Hey buck, 1:42:35.479 --> 1:42:39.360 I have an opinion on meats. There we go, perfect timing. 1:42:39.640 --> 1:42:41.479 You always talk about the best steaks, but I think 1:42:41.600 --> 1:42:44.000 lamb chops are where it's really at. They're like tiny 1:42:44.040 --> 1:42:47.880 tea bones, but twice the meaty succulents. Also, mustache with 1:42:47.960 --> 1:42:50.680 no beard is definitely a bad call. Unless you can 1:42:50.760 --> 1:42:55.719 grow a huge, bushy, old timey mustache, She'll tie from Ohio. Well, 1:42:55.800 --> 1:42:57.680 I can tell you Andy, that is very unlikely. I 1:42:57.720 --> 1:43:03.360 can grow a bushy, old timey mustash. And as for lamb, 1:43:03.840 --> 1:43:07.880 I love lambchops. I love lampshops. I'm I don't know. 1:43:07.920 --> 1:43:10.320 I've actually never made them for myself. I feel like 1:43:10.760 --> 1:43:13.720 there's always some frenching or something you have to do. 1:43:13.720 --> 1:43:15.800 You have to like cut the fat off, and I 1:43:15.840 --> 1:43:18.599 guess the butcher can do that for you. But where 1:43:18.600 --> 1:43:21.240 are you on Lamb chops producer Mark? I love Lamb chops, 1:43:21.280 --> 1:43:23.280 but like you, I've never made them myself. But I 1:43:23.320 --> 1:43:27.000 love Greek cuisine. So I did make veal shop recently 1:43:27.040 --> 1:43:29.680 for the Snow Princess and myself, and it was phenomenal. 1:43:29.880 --> 1:43:31.519 I did do that. But you're gonna get some people 1:43:31.520 --> 1:43:37.040 not liking that. Buck. Oh, I didn't mean veal. I'man 1:43:37.520 --> 1:43:44.320 adult cow because don't eat veal. My bad. Just yeah, 1:43:44.439 --> 1:43:49.120 let's move on, shall we. Virginia, your Biden impersonation is 1:43:49.160 --> 1:43:52.439 the funniest thing I've heard in days. Thank you for 1:43:52.600 --> 1:43:56.160 the laugh. Wait, I just wait. First of all, hold 1:43:56.160 --> 1:43:58.240 on a second. Why No, I'm not gonna get into 1:43:58.240 --> 1:44:00.240 the Veal versus Lamb debate. I'm gonna get going to 1:44:00.240 --> 1:44:03.160 get lit up on social media. Virginia. I'm glad that 1:44:03.280 --> 1:44:06.160 you I'm glad that you enjoy the buying impersonation. Thank 1:44:06.200 --> 1:44:07.760 you so much. I don't even know what I did 1:44:07.760 --> 1:44:09.280 to do it, but I just sort of got stuck 1:44:09.320 --> 1:44:14.360 in my head. And you're sure of her World War 1:44:14.439 --> 1:44:17.360 two and the boom, you know, he just starts talking 1:44:17.400 --> 1:44:23.240 about stuff. We'll come together and we'll make it into Yeah, 1:44:23.479 --> 1:44:26.559 David writes in good interview with Jack Carr, I just 1:44:26.640 --> 1:44:29.280 saw that he has Ray Porter doing the audio versions 1:44:29.320 --> 1:44:32.560 of his books. That's a fantastic choice because Ray is 1:44:32.600 --> 1:44:34.760 one of the elite in the business, one of my favorites. 1:44:34.880 --> 1:44:37.120 Now to download all three books. Hey, that's great, man. 1:44:37.160 --> 1:44:39.320 I told Jack Carr, I'm reading right now. I mean 1:44:39.320 --> 1:44:42.599 I'm reading slowly, but I'm reading Savage Son. And Jack's 1:44:42.640 --> 1:44:46.240 a great guy, really strong reputation. For everyone I've talked 1:44:46.240 --> 1:44:49.720 to in the media, military commune, media, military community. I 1:44:49.800 --> 1:44:52.320 think he's a great dude, and he's the real deal 1:44:52.479 --> 1:44:54.680 and such a nice guy. And like so many of 1:44:54.720 --> 1:44:57.960 the true operators that I have known, and even some 1:44:58.120 --> 1:45:00.759 that I was able to work alongside as a little civilian, 1:45:01.040 --> 1:45:06.360 you know, analyst person. UM, very humble about all that stuff. 1:45:07.200 --> 1:45:10.760 Whenever whenever I've come across for you know, with with 1:45:11.120 --> 1:45:13.000 very few I can't even think of an exception. I'm 1:45:13.040 --> 1:45:16.400 sure there are exceptions, but all the Rangers and Delta 1:45:16.479 --> 1:45:19.439 and Seals and pjs that I've come across who have 1:45:19.479 --> 1:45:24.000 been in real combat, um, they're not They're not rocking around, 1:45:24.000 --> 1:45:26.439 flexing all the time. I just that's just that's been 1:45:26.479 --> 1:45:32.160 my experience. They're they're professionals who are silent about their exploits, 1:45:32.200 --> 1:45:33.960 not I shouldn't say silent about it, but who are 1:45:34.680 --> 1:45:39.080 humble about their exploits. There we go Stephen. Um. Oh wait, no, 1:45:39.160 --> 1:45:42.519 hold on, Diane. First, we got to hold Stephen for tomorrow. Remember, everyone, 1:45:42.560 --> 1:45:44.320 go to bucksex and dot com. Check out the website. 1:45:44.360 --> 1:45:45.760 I've got a story there on the New York City 1:45:45.800 --> 1:45:47.760 subway situation that I will I want you to read. 1:45:48.280 --> 1:45:51.240 Diane Buck, what's up with Nancy Pelosi's disconnection with the 1:45:51.240 --> 1:45:54.120 needs of the people currently under duress? She has this 1:45:54.280 --> 1:45:57.160 let them meet kake, apparently with gourmet ice cream attitude. 1:45:57.520 --> 1:45:59.400 My guess is she didn't do well in European history 1:45:59.439 --> 1:46:02.040 to know that approach did not serve public figures well 1:46:02.120 --> 1:46:06.559 in the past. Shields High and Diane, Nancy Pelosi is 1:46:06.960 --> 1:46:12.160 a smug elite lib and that's never gonna change. And 1:46:12.240 --> 1:46:15.280 she doesn't care how disconnected from people's pain she is. 1:46:15.320 --> 1:46:18.000 She's just about Nancy Pelosi and the left wing cause. 1:46:18.160 --> 1:46:20.800 So and look, I don't I don't hate an art 1:46:20.840 --> 1:46:22.720 as an ice cream. I like fancy ice cream and 1:46:22.760 --> 1:46:25.240 I admit it. Okay, I like I like all ice 1:46:25.280 --> 1:46:29.000 cream too much, job of the buck, but fancy ice 1:46:29.000 --> 1:46:32.559 cream I'm good with. But I'm also in tune with 1:46:32.560 --> 1:46:35.640 how people have real challenges. All right, everybody, thank you 1:46:35.680 --> 1:46:38.200 so much for being here. Fantastic to have the team 1:46:38.200 --> 1:46:40.160 with me. We're getting through this team. You noticing that 1:46:40.200 --> 1:46:41.960 we're gonna get through this together. We're getting through it. 1:46:42.000 --> 1:46:43.320 We'll be there, we'll be on the other side of 1:46:43.320 --> 1:46:45.640 this before you know it. Until then, Shields Hi
