1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart Act or wherever you get

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: your podcasts. I try not to watch this silly stuff

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: about the British Royals. In fact, the Daily Mail, which

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite websites for a lot of things.

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: I wish I could pay them a subscription just so

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: I didn't have to see all this stuff about what's

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: going on with Meghan and Harry. I could care less,

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: But now they have overtaken our culture. Now, all of

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: a sudden, we're supposed to be paying attention to this,

12
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: at least for the next day or so, so I'll

13
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 1: do some of that. Also, we've got to get into

14
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: Cuomo and how this guy is just constantly shifting the goalposts.

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: He's trying to now pretend that he just wants an investigation.

16
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: Send it past at one point nine trillion dollars spending boat.

17
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: We've got a lot to get to today. But you know,

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: the Internet never forgets, and it's never been a more

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: important time to understand that than right now, because given

20
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: how much what you'd look for online can be tracked

21
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: and stored and put into an algorithm. Now more than ever,

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: you really need to be aware of the fact that

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: your data is out there, it's being mined, it's being farmed,

24
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: and it could even be used against you. And this

25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: cancel culture world we're in, you never know if going

26
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: to certain sites that look at politics in a particular

27
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: way could become a problem for you down the line.

28
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: You also have the possibility that people out there are

29
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: going to sell your data in a way that would

30
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: really infringe upon your privacy. Everything you search for, watch,

31
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: or click online can be tracked by big tech companies. Okay,

32
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: that's why I switch on Express VPN and you should too,

33
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: because with Express VPN on my computer on my phone,

34
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: my IP address is masked by a secure VPN server,

35
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: which makes it harder for websites to identify me. The

36
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: Express VPN app also encrypts my network data to protect

37
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: my sensitive information from being compromised. You really need this

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: on your stuff. Okay. Think of this the same way

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: we all used to have anti virus back of the day.

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: Because you don't want your computer to crash. You want

41
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: your data and what your activities are on your computer

42
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: to be protected and secure. This is so straightforward. Use

43
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: Express VPN on up to five devices simultaneously. Okay, Express VPN,

44
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: so stop heading over your data to big tech companies.

52
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: a war a couple of hundred years ago so that

53
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: we'd never have to pay attention to the British monarchy

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: ever again, and the American people wouldn't have to ever

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: give a crap, if you will, what the monarchs think

56
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: about anything. But here we are now, with the complete

57
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: saturation and domination of media today, with this interview. I

58
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: saw some of it last I couldn't stomach watching the

59
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: whole thing. I just don't care enough, but I watched

60
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: enough of it to get it to get the gist.

61
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: And here's what we know. Harry and Meghan are part

62
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: of the British royal family. I don't even know what

63
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 1: their official titles are or anything. I don't really care.

64
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: But they sat down with Oprah, who is a multibillionaire,

65
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: to whine about how their lives are so hard and

66
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: the British Royal Family is being mean to them. And

67
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: for a lot of people they view this as, I

68
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: don't know, a fairytale story gone awry. There's a fascination

69
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: for certainly Americans and definitely for everybody in the UK

70
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: about the Royal Family that they either they hate them

71
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: they love them. But for a lot of us here

72
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: you think of a case like this and you say,

73
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: how could it be possible to find people who are

74
00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: more privileged than ultra rich celebrities like the Royal family.

75
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: How could you find anybody who's more more privilege than this?

76
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: And yet they want to be victims. Harry and Meggan.

77
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't know them, I don't care. But now the

78
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: whole world this is the biggest news story in the world.

79
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: Right now You've got two incredibly lucky, I mean lucky

80
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: beyond a normal person's wildest dreams, human beings who want

81
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: to go on TV and want about Look, I'm not

82
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: saying they don't have challenges. I know that every human being.

83
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: You know, you see people, you don't see the full

84
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: truth of their situation. You see what people have to

85
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: deal with, and you don't recognize all the challenges they've

86
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: gone through. I get that, of course. You know, you

87
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: see some of your greatest heroes throughout history have you know,

88
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: substance abuse problems, or terrible personal issues in their marriage

89
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: or you know what, you know, have demons have extreme

90
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: depression of things that they have to handle. I'm not

91
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: in any way negating any of that, but this is

92
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: a move that is beneficial. You see, for Harry and Megan,

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: this is something that really just elevates their brand, their

94
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 1: power in their career, and it's indicative of this sickness

95
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: of victimology chasing that has come to dominate Western civilization

96
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: and Western culture. Now. You know, the entire Western world

97
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: seems completely obsessed with this idea that if you can,

98
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: if you can claim righteous victimhood status, everybody has to

99
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: feel sorry for you and give you what you want

100
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: and do so because of the moral obligation you've imposed

101
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: on them. And it's just it absolves, you know, the

102
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: victim mentality absolves people of their own mistakes. It means

103
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: they're no longer responsible for their shortcomings. It means that

104
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: there is always an out right why hasn't something worked

105
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: out the way that you thought it showed or you

106
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: wanted it to? What? It's not your fault. You're a victim.

107
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: Why aren't you a better person? Why don't you treat

108
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: people better? Why don't you work harder? Why don't you

109
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: get more done? Why aren't you more disciplined? Why aren't

110
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: you more eggs emplary when it comes to character and

111
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: courage and kindness, none of that matters. If you're a victim,

112
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: it's not your fault. You see, there's other people that

113
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: are doing all these things to you. There's other people

114
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: who have made your life so much harder. And even if,

115
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: as Harry and Meghan are, you are globally recognized celebrities

116
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: for no real reason. I mean, in the case of

117
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: Harry because he was born he's famous, and in the

118
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: case of Megan because she's an attractive female who married him.

119
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: Now everybody has to care who they are and pretend

120
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: that somehow what they say matters. It's absurd, the whole thing.

121
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: But in a way, the royal family is starting the

122
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: mid twentieth century were the original ultra celebrities before the

123
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: Kardashians came along and really proved out the celebrity because

124
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: you're a celebrity model. The closest thing we had too

125
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: was being born into the British royal family, and there

126
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: has always been this this fascination with them for some people. I,

127
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: as I've said, I think the whole thing is absurd.

128
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: I think monarchy should be abolished. I don't understand why

129
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: anybody doesn't see that. But I'm also an American, so

130
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: I know a lot of us is sitting here, but

131
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: America's embracing this couple now too. You see, they were

132
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: on with Oprah, the ultimate media powerbroker. I mean, if

133
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: you're talking about a media brand that is of course

134
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: worth billions of dollars, but that has tremendous sway in

135
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: pop culture. I don't know if you could find somebody

136
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: more powerful than Oprah. She sits down with them, spends

137
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: three hours with them, and they get to complain. Of course,

138
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: if you want to be a real victim, they go

139
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: with with some of the the victimology greatest hits, namely

140
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Megan makes some insinuations about racism. Well that because that's

141
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: all you have to do is say something or someone

142
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: is racist, and now all of a sudden, you're you're

143
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: you're one of the good people. You're you're righteous, You

144
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: have been you have been wronged, and society must pay

145
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,119
Speaker 1: you some debt of some kind to make everything better.

146
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: What does that even mean? How do we do that?

147
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: Don't worry about the details. People bathe in, they luxuriate in.

148
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: And this is true all across our society. It's true

149
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: with cancel culture. All right, we just had Peppi Lapew

150
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: has now gone from the Space Jam movies and I'm

151
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: not kidding because of rape culture. They also got rid

152
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: of Speedy Gonzalez. They've gotten rid of six of the

153
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: Doctor SEUs books, as you know, now that's the choice

154
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: of the Doctor seue Is publishing company. But still it's

155
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: showing you where the mentality is right now. But it's

156
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: because there are people that are afraid of being accused

157
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: of being a victimizer, and there are a whole lot

158
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: more people out there who just walk around trying to

159
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: find a way to view themselves as victims. It's really

160
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: an obsession. It's a deep seated mindset because think about

161
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: what it does. It absolves you from all of your transgressions.

162
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: It absolves you from all of your guilt. It removes

163
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: any need for you to have introspection, for you to

164
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: be honest with yourself about what's gone right and wrong

165
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: in your own decisions, in your own life. You're a victim.

166
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: It's somebody else's fault. It takes agency away from you.

167
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: And in a sense the same way I tell you

168
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: that a lot of people like to be controlled, a

169
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: lot of people like to be victims, because it means

170
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: that now they have a purpose. They just exist to

171
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: be emblems of how others have wronged them. And you

172
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: can monetize this. You can use this to grow your brand.

173
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: You can use this to grow your power, which is

174
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: really the dynamics that we see at play now all

175
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: across cancel culture in America. But that's right, Harry and began.

176
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: They live in what looks like a palace that one

177
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: of the Medici family would have lived in in Renaissance

178
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: era Florence. But our lives are really hard because people

179
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: in the royal family weren't always super nice to them,

180
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: or didn't treat them with all of the pomp and

181
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: circumstances They wanted or something. It's not even really clear,

182
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: but just some some insinuations about racism, and we have

183
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: things really hard. Feel sorry for us while we have

184
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: our multimillion dollar Netflix deal living in a mansion that

185
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: looks like it's out of a fairytale in California. Oh gosh,

186
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: things are so hard for us. This goes to show you,

187
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: no matter, no matter who we're talking about here in society, now,

188
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: it seems that there's an opportunity should they choose, there's

189
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: an opportunity to claim victim victim's status. I mean the

190
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: case of Harry. You have a white male monarch, but

191
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: he's married to somebody who is a quarter a quarter minority.

192
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: She's one of her parents is bi racial and is black,

193
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: And so we have to hear about how hard it's

194
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: been for Harry too. You sit around and you wonder,

195
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: when is this too, When is this all just too absurd?

196
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: When are people no longer in a position to claim

197
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: at they're victims? But then again, look at some of

198
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: the most powerful people in our society. Look at you know,

199
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. Why did she lose the twenty sixteen election

200
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: because she's a woman, she says Lebron James globally recognize

201
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: celebrity probably worth close to a billion dollars now himself

202
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: certainly half a billion dollars. But you know he's got

203
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: to do protests in hoodies and it's so hard and

204
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: talk about how the challenges of the streets, what it

205
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: is to be a poor minority in American inner cities today,

206
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: because you know, he's had to overcome that challenge. To Jim,

207
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: the guy's been I think he was on the cover

208
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: of Sports Illustrated when he was sixteen. But yeah, it's

209
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: been a really tough road. You know, this is what

210
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: we see now. Everyone's angling this. Everybody wants this because,

211
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: in a sense, it's the ultimate power. It's invulnerability from

212
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: your own failings, your own poor decisions, and it gives

213
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: you power over other people. You can make demands from them.

214
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: And it also brings you sympathy. People are like, oh,

215
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: you're so great. Look what you've achieved, Look what you've done,

216
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: because you've overcome the victims status. People are looking for

217
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: this all over the place. In so many ways, it

218
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: undermines what we know is good and true and worthwhile

219
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: in America and Western societies, which is that every individual

220
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: regardless of race, creed, color, gender. Every individual is equal

221
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: in the eyes of God, but also is responsible for

222
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: his or her own life and decisions, and there needs

223
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: to be honesty about this. You know, we all are

224
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: failed individuals in our own way. We all have our shortcomings,

225
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: and it's really a form of malignant narcissism to think

226
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: that whatever hasn't gone right in your life is because

227
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: of what somebody else has done. Wherever you've come up short,

228
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: it's because the system has oppressed you or held you down,

229
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: even when you're at the very top of the system.

230
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: Think about the think about the confusion here, that the

231
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: cognitive dissonance. You can be an ultra famous, elite billionaire

232
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: and go on TV and cry about how hard everything is,

233
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: and people are supposed to feel sorry for you. I'd say, oh, well,

234
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: this isn't America, this is the UK, this is their

235
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: royal family. And people have a fascination with this, like

236
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: we're all reading some story book about you know, kings

237
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: and queens back in the Middle Ages or something. But

238
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: it's a problem here in America too, which is why

239
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: we've also why our culture has latched onto this. Everybody

240
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: wants to be a victim these days. Why is that, Well,

241
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: it's because it means that they get all of the

242
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: benefits and none of the responsibilities of their position, and

243
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: they can get even more. This is a part of

244
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: the cancel culture wave in this country. It's also a

245
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: part of the leftism that seeks to tear down and

246
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: destroy everything that we view as objective, everything that we

247
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: view as an issue of merit, truth or falsehood. It

248
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: can all be changed, it can all be moved around,

249
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: depending on what one's narrative of victim status may be.

250
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: You know, you didn't build that, you didn't achieve that,

251
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: and whatever I did. If I'm a victim, well there's

252
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: always a way to turn that around and make it

253
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: somebody else's problem. Well, we have to acknowledge that what

254
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: is the public likely to do with any guidance that

255
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: we give them. And if we just tell people that

256
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: they've got to stay cocooned, that they've got to stay

257
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: in their homes, that they've got to continue to wear

258
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: their mask even though they're fully vaccinated, they're not going

259
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: to do that. They're going to disregard the public health recommendations.

260
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: So we have to get real. We have to say

261
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: you know what, what does it mean if I've not

262
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: seen my grandchildren for the last year and I'm now vaccinated,

263
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: my spouse is vaccinated, you know, can I see those

264
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: kids are not They're not likely to have vaccine through

265
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: next fall or next winter. We have to be practical,

266
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: and I worry a little bit that we will basically

267
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: stay with this idea that we've had all along do

268
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: this or else. And so I hope that the CDC

269
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: guidance acknowledges that people are not going to do the

270
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: extreme of staying master twenty twenty two. That's just not

271
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: going to happen. So what can we provide them reasonable

272
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: information that gives them the best case for protecting themselves,

273
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: Like you know what, you wouldn't catch me tonight in

274
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: a crowded restaurant somewhere, even with my vaccination. I think

275
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: that's what we have to concentrate on and let them

276
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: do the kinds of things that are really much safer.

277
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: That's Ouster home. It was a Biden COVID advisor right

278
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: giving the Biden administration when it was coming in during

279
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: the transition advice on COVID nineteen. And what he's saying

280
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: is we need to start to understand what reality is

281
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: your guys. If we tell everybody to mask up for

282
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: another year, a lot of people just aren't going to

283
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: do it. And if we're only people, they have to

284
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: keep doing all the same things they're doing even after vaccination.

285
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: All of this is based on risk profile, risk mitigation,

286
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: balancing different things. Out Right, we could say, if you

287
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: wanted to save a whole lot of lives from COVID nineteen,

288
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: you cannot leave your home for a year. Sorry, food

289
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: will have to be delivered to you by somebody else.

290
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to leave your home. But that's too extreme,

291
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: even though it would save live no question, that would

292
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: save lives from COVID nineteen. It's too extreme. People won't

293
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: do it. It's not okay, it's not worth it. Now

294
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: we're at a point where, let's remember lockdowns until vaccine

295
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: at the start of this was considered insane. Now we

296
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: have public health officials who are telling us that masking

297
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: and mitigation and maybe some lockdown, some social distancing mandates

298
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: are necessary post vaccination for individuals. I mean, look at

299
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: how much this moves over time. Here's the CDC on

300
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: December or twenty third, until every person in the US

301
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: can get a COVID nineteen vaccine, continue to wear a mask,

302
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 1: keep at least six feet between yourself and others, avoid crowds,

303
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: and wash your hands often. Learn more about who can

304
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: get vaccinate and well supplies limited. Yeah, they're still doing

305
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: the wash your hands thing, by the way. Yeah, that's

306
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: that's really gonna that's gonna save us. That's gonna make

307
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: a big difference. That was great. That was in December.

308
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: But the point is they've been advocating for this for

309
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: a while that until everybody is vaccinated, you've got to

310
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: do all the things you've been doing all along. This

311
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: is madness. And if you're wondering, and I found this

312
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: to be a particularly interesting study. Over the weekend, people

313
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: were sharing this thing saying that that masking works. Study

314
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: CDC report that mask mandates lower COVID cases. So it works,

315
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: that's what we're told. I actually read the study. I

316
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: actually pulled from the study for you here, and this

317
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: is fascinating. Here's what it says. This is the latest

318
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: CDC study that they put out. CDC report on mask

319
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: mandates during March first to December thirty one, twenty twenty,

320
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: state issued mask mandates applied in seventy three percent of

321
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: three one hundred and forty two US counties. Mask mandates

322
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: were associated with a point five percentage decrease in daily

323
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: COVID cases one to twenty days after implementation, and decreases

324
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: of one percent, one point five, one point seven and

325
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: one point eight percent twenty to forty, forty one to sixty,

326
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: sixty one to eighty, and eighty to one hundred days, respectively. Friends,

327
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: they're telling you here that mask mandates are basically bringing

328
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: down COVID cases over a period of months one percent.

329
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: But understand that that one percent is when the margin

330
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: of error for the study so could be zero. That's

331
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,239
Speaker 1: how effective they are. Now, Now, I want us all

332
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: be very clear about this. Were you told at the

333
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: beginning that your mask wearing might have a roughly one

334
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: percent effect on the reduced Trand how long have I

335
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: been saying it's about how effective this is more than

336
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: whether it's effective, because making us go through this absurdity.

337
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: When you add into it the changes in behavior as

338
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: well that come from mask wearing. People think they're pretty protected,

339
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: and then they are much closer to each other, more

340
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: willing to be around each other, than they probably would

341
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: be otherwise thinking that these masks are doing a great

342
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: job of protecting them. I will never forget that imbecile

343
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: Redfield that ran the CDC. The quote was, this is

344
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: back in September. More guaranteed a mask is more guaranteed

345
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: to protect me against COVID nineteen than when I take

346
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: a vaccine. That's what CDC director Redfield said in September.

347
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: And now we're seeing that mask mandates have about a

348
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: one percent effectiveness in rejection the case one percent, friends,

349
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: so we all wear masks. What this is telling you

350
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: is that you know we're all wearing masks under ammand it. Now.

351
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: I know they're going to say, oh, but Buck, it's

352
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: not perfect implementation of the matt Well, okay, but we're

353
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: all wearing more masks. Shouldn't we see a substantial drop?

354
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: Why are we wasting our time with this idiocy if

355
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: it's only one percent? Oh no, one percent is effective.

356
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: If it saves one life, friends, that's what we're back to.

357
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't know why this makes me laugh so hard,

358
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: but he did say neander Neanderthal, thinking not, you're all Neanderthals,

359
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: which she owned. She can ditch the present tense because,

360
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, they are extinct, and she's also someone

361
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: that's been very vocal about denying evolution, so I found

362
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: it fitting that she used that. But I just feel

363
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: like that this is an example. It shows there's not

364
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: much to pick on. If this is the words we're parsing.

365
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: They spend a lot of time talking about how old

366
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: Biden is. Well, you're going to get words like slacks

367
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: and ornery and neanderthal. It's kind of an uncivilized choice

368
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: to not wear a mask when this science speaks loud

369
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: and clear. And I think that it's you know again,

370
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: as Sunny mentioned on the heels of someone who could

371
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: offend you know people four times in a sentence, picking

372
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: on an extinct Homo sapien seems like pretty safe ground

373
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: for me as someone who has two percent Neanderthal. I

374
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: represent my community. I'm not offended. Yeah, Like, let's have

375
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: people on the view talk about the science and like

376
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: the science speaks like really clearly on all this stuff. Yeah,

377
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: so clearly that a year ago the scientific community, as

378
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: as evidence by doctor Fauci himself, had a completely different view.

379
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: But but we've we've been told except the one eighty

380
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: switch in viewpoint and do so because the science says so,

381
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: even though no, sorry, this is a very straightforward thing.

382
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: If you believe the Earth is flat a year ago

383
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: and now you're telling me the Earth is round, I

384
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: want to know why you've changed changed you're thinking. I'm

385
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: not just gonna say, hmm, you must have switched it

386
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: around because the science speaks to you. No, explain to

387
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: me why you change your thinking, because if you were

388
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: that wrong a year ago, shouldn't it matter as to

389
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: whether I believe you now shouldn't shouldn't it make it different?

390
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: Or if you thought the world was round and now

391
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: you think it's flat. Whatever. The point is a one

392
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: eighty switch on something so fundamental, so straightforward. But now

393
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: this has become such a giant virtue signaling opportunity for people.

394
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: Double mask. I mean I know that people now that

395
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: are saying things like if it only works one This

396
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: is what the news reports are trying to say for

397
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: the weekend, A one percent reduction, which is effectively zero

398
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: by the way, because of masks. It's effectively zero because

399
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: it's within the margin of error. You don't even know,

400
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: so the science doesn't even say that it's reducing it

401
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: but okay, officially the numbers are a tiny, tiny tiny decrease,

402
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: a tiny, tiny tiny decrease. The speed limit really should

403
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: be fifteen miles an hour in this country. And if

404
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: you don't believe that, you're a monster who thinks people

405
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: should die. This was the argument I was making a

406
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: year ago, almost to the day. You either believe in

407
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: a fifteen million hour speed limit or you believe that

408
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: people should die in fiery correct by the thousands every year.

409
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: There is no difference between the thinking here on a

410
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: one percent mask mandate effectiveness and a fifteen million hour

411
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: speed limit. By the way, better get ready to wear

412
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: that mask during flu season because we're told that flu

413
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: is essentially eradicated by this that is the official word.

414
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I'm very curious to see, really the

415
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: flu virus is so much better contained by our measures then,

416
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean, COVID was basically not really contained at all

417
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: over this winter. We can all see that. That's quite obvious. Okay,

418
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: we didn't stop it, we didn't contain it, but the

419
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: flu was eradicated ninety eight percent decrease in cases. That's interesting,

420
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: isn't it. That won't be the case going forward. If

421
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: we go back to normal life and thousands of people

422
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: die every year, particularly older people die every year from

423
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: the flu. So when I was arguing at the beginning,

424
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: we should have a fifteen mile an hour speed limit,

425
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: we should have been wearing masks all along, and we're

426
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: monsters during flu season for not doing so based on

427
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: this new logic, people said no, and they got all

428
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 1: emotional and they got all friendzy. I listened to science,

429
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: and I'm really smart. No, my argument is sound. What

430
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: I'm saying is true, was true, is true, and now

431
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: they don't want to hear it. Now they want to

432
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: pretend that what some of us saw all along is

433
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: not the case because it makes them feel like they've

434
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: been essentially fooled, or that they've been believing something along

435
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: that's not true, and their belief in that thing made

436
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: them feel like they were smart, good people, and folks

437
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: don't like to give up thinking they're smart and good.

438
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: They want to hold on to that no matter what.

439
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: But I read this study out of the ZDC mask

440
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: man dates decreased death rates as well, by around one

441
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: percent over a couple of months. This is from breaking

442
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: nine one one unbelievable. That's what we were promised. Huh, really,

443
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: we're all gonna wear masks all the time. Maybe there'll

444
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: be a one percent decreasing one percent, folks, that means

445
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: ninety nine out of one hundred. You're walking around with

446
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: your mask on, thinking, oh, look, we're all wearing our

447
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: masks in public. Because that's what this really is. There's

448
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: no mask mandate in your home. We're all wearing our

449
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: masks in public, huge amounts of compliance all across the country,

450
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: and you might reduce cases by one percent. That's we're

451
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: really gonna pretend that that's what we were, that's what

452
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: we're led to believe was the case here. No, no Ah,

453
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I remember the mannequin studies with the spray

454
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: and they were saying, you know, seventy percent of particles,

455
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: ninety percent of particles. Somehow it blocks seventy or eighty

456
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: percent of all particles out of your mouth, even though

457
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: viral particles are so small that they would go right

458
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: through the mesh of a mask. They say it it

459
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: is clinging to the you know, to the the spittle

460
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: or to the the vapor that comes out of your mouth. Anyway,

461
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: they're they're claiming that seventy percent of everything coming out

462
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: of your mouth is blocked by these masks, and yet

463
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: it's a one percent reduction in cases and a one

464
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: percent reduction in depth at best? At best? Is that

465
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: what we were I mean, who here? Who he really

466
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: thinks that that's that they're being honest at this point?

467
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: Who really thinks that what they're saying in any way

468
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: lines up? It was wear a mask save lives. So

469
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: we've been wearing a mask for a year. And maybe

470
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: maybe they're maybe there's been a you know, I don't know.

471
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: They would say a few thousand people, A few that's

472
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: what we're really talking about, right, four or five thousand

473
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: people that they think might have been saved by a

474
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: year of mask mania. And out on top of that

475
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: all the distress, the dehumanizing effects, the psychological disorders, the

476
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: constant comfort. Like I said, if you believe in masking,

477
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: you need to believe if you're going to be morally consistent,

478
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: you need to believe in a fifteen mile an hour

479
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: speed limit. It's effectively impossible to die in a car

480
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: crash if you're going fifteen miles an hour. I mean

481
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: almost impossible, right, meaning if you're in a car and

482
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: someone else is a car. You're going fifteen miles an hour.

483
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: Modern cars today, you're going to survive that. I mean,

484
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: unless there's a freak accident. But you know, then again,

485
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: a car could just explode for no reason. You know

486
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: who knows, right. But you see, we've established a more

487
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: principle if it saves one life. Look at the liquid

488
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: you're seeing now, the authoritarian left mentality and that you've

489
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: been aware of for so many other things. You know,

490
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: if they have to take every ten round magazine out

491
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: of the hands of every American in the country, and

492
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: it plays it with a five round or a seven round,

493
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: which I know they didn't really make, but whatever, you know,

494
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: the plays it with some other magazine size for a firearm.

495
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: If that slows down one mass shooter in one shooting

496
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: by one or two seconds, it's worth it. This is

497
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: this is a gateway to authoritarianism. We all understand that, right.

498
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: I mean, there's really there's no justification for you to

499
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: have ever gone out into crowded places because you could

500
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: have always been infecting people with fluid's around you. Around

501
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: you don't know, you could always give somebody just a

502
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: standard cold virus and folks that have a weakened immune system.

503
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: They could end up getting pneumonia from it. Now, I

504
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: know you said, Buck, but this is we're taking it

505
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: into absurd territory, right exactly. We've been an absurd territory

506
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: with this for a year. They told you things were

507
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: true that we're not true, and they keep doing it

508
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: and the social medium, you know, oligarchs and the morons

509
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: who run user experience and all this other stuff at

510
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: these places, who aren't even like the tech engineers. They're

511
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: the people that are on the on the softer side

512
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: of these businesses, who are just a little left wing

513
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: activists coming out of schools or they didn't actually learn

514
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: anything other than how to be woke and how to

515
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: be grievance collectors about all the oppression that they feel.

516
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: They told you things that we're not true, and you

517
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 1: should be aware of that. Now. You should understand that

518
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: is what happened, because they're going to keep telling you

519
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 1: things that are untrue about all of this. I mean,

520
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: the CDC is an abomination. That much should be clear

521
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: at this point. It's a it's a politicized organization that

522
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: has failed at every major stage of this pandemic. To

523
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: do anything useful, and now we're going to be gas

524
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: lit in a way that it had is just mind blowing.

525
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: We're going to be gas lit by people telling us yeah,

526
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: that's right. You know, the psychosis of people running around

527
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: screaming and other people in some cases getting into you know,

528
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: lethal exchanges. They're people have been shot, people have been

529
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: beaten to death because they weren't wearing a mask. And

530
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: yet here we are being told that maybe it reduces

531
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: cases one percent, and that's max. And trust me, the

532
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: CDC had to find something. You think the CDC was

533
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: ever going to come up with a study. It turns

534
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: out mask mandates don't do anything. But the problem is

535
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: they can only fudge the data is so much what

536
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: they told us is so incorrect and so ineffective that

537
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: it's becoming really hard. So now they're retreating into yeah,

538
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't work that well, but it works a tiny, tiny,

539
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: tiny bit. M Okay. Now the state can say that

540
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: any level of infringement upon your day to day life

541
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: and on your basic liberties, including your ability to just

542
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: breathe normally, any infringement that they can claim might save

543
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: some small percentage of human beings from getting sick and

544
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: or dying is justified. So you better mask up forever.

545
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: If you think a one percent mask mandate is just

546
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: you know, one percent of cases being reduced by a

547
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: mask mandate justifies the inconvenience. Mask up forever, because that's

548
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: what you've established. Mask up forever. Oh though COVID will

549
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: go away, Yeah, there's still the flu, there's still other

550
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: things out there. Better wear your mask forever. You're a monster.

551
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: They were wrong all along, and I know that, you know,

552
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: I focused it on this one, and I've been very

553
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: just because people have been so vicious, so nasty, so stupid.

554
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: People think they're so smart on this one, and they've

555
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: been wrong. Yeah, I'll take the buck position on this

556
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: over The one percent is really effective when it's actually

557
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: within the margin of error, which means that I can

558
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: also make the case that it is entirely ineffective based

559
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: on the CDC zone data. And you could say, oh, buck,

560
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: but mandates aren't aren't the same as individa Okay, Well,

561
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: then why have a mandate? If a mandate doesn't work,

562
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: what's the point of a mandate? If individuals should just

563
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: do this on their own, why do we have the

564
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: government enforcing this, finding people threatening to lock people up

565
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: over this, ask yourself these questions. Remember, there's a strong

566
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: case to be made that thousands of businesses, tens of thousands,

567
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: perhaps hundreds of thousands, and millions of lives. We're devastated

568
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: during this pandemic in part because social media companies employed

569
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: moronic parties in third party fact checkers to stifle any

570
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: criticism of lockdowns. And they did this while Twitter, Facebook,

571
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: and Google got a lot richer That's what was happening

572
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: during this. You know, even the Wall Street Journal had

573
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: to put out an editorial over the last week where

574
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: they they point out what I've been telling this is

575
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal fact checking Facebook's fact checkers. The

576
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: media giant is employing left wing vetters to limit scientific debate.

577
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: They the Wall Street Journal points out that they have

578
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: a entirely mainstream, highly credentialed scientist right and op ed

579
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: crunching the numbers and making a projection about herd immunity

580
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: being in the US basically being here by the end

581
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: of April. And the women's in gender studies majors out

582
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: of Wellesley who work at PolitiFact, and they probably even

583
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: went to crappier schools than that. But the women's in

584
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: gender studies majors that work at PolitiFact in general, they're

585
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: deciding that the science that the scientist is projecting here

586
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: is unsound, and therefore they limit the reach of it.

587
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: On Facebook, they are laundering their censorship and they're using

588
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: morons to do it. But their left wing activists morons,

589
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: so they feel good about this. They've done this to me.

590
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: They've done this to me. They took one line out

591
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: of context. They try. By the way, go to Bucksexen

592
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: dot com. You want to show the sensors where to

593
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: stuff it. Go to buckxxton dot com. Check out our

594
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: ed my editorials there. I'm gonna have another one up tomorrow.

595
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: You can listen to podcasts there. It's it's a website

596
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: where you can also give us your email because we're

597
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: building out a newsletter. I need direct, direct reach with

598
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: all of you because the social platforms you can't trust

599
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: them anymore. You can't trust them. And some people that

600
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: have built really big social followings. Look at the thing,

601
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: so this person somehow never gets throttled on, This person

602
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: somehow never gets banned or suspended. That's interesting, m anyway,

603
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very frustrated by this, and it's really damn

604
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: into society. It's damaging to free speech and free a

605
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: free inquiry. But you know, Facebook is run by cowards

606
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: now who don't appreciate liberty and freedom and the free

607
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: exchange of ideas. They don't appreciate these things anymore. And

608
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: remember they set their business up with that promise. In

609
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: a sense, they're defrauding the public based upon the initial

610
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: promise that they were going to be platforms for free

611
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: speech and communication. I mean, this is really not all

612
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: that different. I know, we've made the phone companies of utility,

613
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: but it would be like if the phone companies were private,

614
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they started saying, well,

615
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: you know, right before the election, where we don't want

616
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: this one candidate to win, so we're going to shut

617
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: down all of his phone banks and we're going to

618
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: decide that the person can't communicate. It's really not any

619
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: different than that in principle, and this is what the

620
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: social media companies are doing. But they will even stop

621
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: a Johns Hopkins MD scientists from looking at the numbers

622
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: and making a project. They will say a projection is

623
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: false and therefore cannot be shared. You can't make a prediction.

624
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: That's what they'll tell you. You know, I wrote on

625
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: bucksx and dot com a few weeks ago schools should

626
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: be open, and they said, no, that's false, because schools

627
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: should only be open if they reached the following criterion.

628
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: Guess what New York City out today. Lockdown Central just

629
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: said schools are opening March twenty second. So who is

630
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: right and who is wrong? PolitiFact? You morons and these like.

631
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine that you go work at

632
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: one of these places. You're you're like a little hall

633
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: monitor of free speech on the internet doing the left's bidding.

634
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, the only the only thing that is,

635
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, more intellectually degrading than being a third party

636
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: fact checker would be if you're one of these people

637
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: that works at Media Matters. And the only thing more

638
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: intellectually and emotionally and psychologically degrading than that would be

639
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: you know, I can't even say the kind of job

640
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: it would be on radio because it's not family not

641
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: family friendly. But it's just it's degrading, it's disgusting, and

642
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: these people are shameful who do this stuff and they're

643
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: hurting the country. And that's my bigger point here, is

644
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: that we were never allowed to have a real discussion

645
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: about masks and effectiveness and the trade offs because they

646
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: just kept lying and saying this is the consensus. They

647
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: kept they kept changing the goalposts around and saying, no,

648
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 1: we didn't shut up. You're not allowed to ask any questions.

649
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: And I have to ask you if they did this,

650
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: And since we know they can do this for COVID,

651
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: for the lockdowns, do you really believe that they won't

652
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: do this for climate change? You think that all this

653
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: power they've acquired, all this power they've brought together, they're

654
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: just going to give it all back and decide they're

655
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: not going to do this again when something else that

656
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: they view is really important comes up. I don't think so.

657
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: I think we're all quite aware of the fact that

658
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: their plan going forward is going to be to use

659
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: states of emergency for a similar shutdown of free speech

660
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: and inquiry, using the most powerful platforms for communication in

661
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: the world to decide what you can and cannot say.

662
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 1: This is now the Democrat Party, this is what we're

663
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: up against. The authoritarian left has seized the most powerful

664
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: institutions in the country, and we need to understand what

665
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: that means for us going forward and how we can

666
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: fight back against it. I said, We're going to get

667
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: the government out of the business from battling on Twitter

668
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 1: and back in the business of delivering for the American people.

669
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: But making a difference in their lives can mean everyone

670
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,479
Speaker 1: a chance of fighting, chance of showing the American people

671
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 1: that their government can work for them. And passing the

672
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: American Rescue Plan will do that. Yeah, passing the passing

673
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: the American Rescue Plan, That's that's all we need to do. Amazing,

674
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: isn't it. There were some there were some Washington Post

675
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: headline that was along the lines of, you know, Biden

676
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: defeats poverty basic by passing the American Rescue Player. You know,

677
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: it defeats poverty for the American people. Places such the places.

678
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: Such a joke. It's so outrageous, so ridiculous. Anyway, here

679
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: we are looking at the realities of the one point

680
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: nine trillion dollars spend, and I just say, Unfortunately, elections

681
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: have consequences, and we're seeing some of those consequences right

682
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 1: now with this. Unfortunately, Republicans are not in a position

683
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: to really stop this from happening, and we are just

684
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna keep spending and spending and go deeper

685
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: and deeper to dead as a nation until everyone starts

686
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 1: to realize how bad it is and what this really

687
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: means for our currency, for our economy, and then it's

688
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: too late. Then it's essentially all over. But we're supposed

689
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: to celebrate this. Now, we're supposed to decide that this

690
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: is a great moment for the American people. Why did

691
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: it take this long? They could have passed rescue stuff

692
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: about COVID many months ago. Well, Democrats wanted it their way.

693
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: Here's what the legislation has in it. This is from

694
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal. Quote. Provides a direct payment of

695
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred dollars for a single taxpayer or twenty eight

696
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: hundred dollars for a married couple that files jointly, plus

697
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred dollars per dependent. Individuals earning up to seventy

698
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: five thousand would get the full amount, and married couples

699
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: with incomes up to one hundred and fifty thousand. The

700
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: size of the check would shrink for those making slightly more,

701
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: with a hard cut off at eighty thousand dollars for

702
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: individuals and one hundred and sixty thousand dollars for married couples.

703
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: Most Americans will be getting the full amount. The median

704
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: household income was sixty eight thousand, seven hundred and three

705
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty nineteen. The bill provides forty six billion to

706
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: expand federal, state, and local testing for COVID nineteen and

707
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: to enhance contract tracing capabilities with new investments to expand

708
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: laboratory capacity and set up mobile testing units. It also

709
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 1: contains about fourteen billion dollars to speed up the distribution

710
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: or administration of COVID nineteen vaccines. Look money for vaccines, great,

711
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: they could have done this a long time ago. Testing

712
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: as a means of getting us past this pandemic is

713
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: also this is now just a talking point that they

714
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: won't let go of. I mean, yeah, you need to

715
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: have some ability to test, obviously, but look at the

716
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: huge ramp up and testing we've done, and you still

717
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: had a tremendous amount of cases and debts and hospitalizations

718
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: all throughout the winter test and trace. By the time

719
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: they're really at a place where they think they can

720
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: test and trace this thing, the pandemic will have essentially passed.

721
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: What we're going to look back and see is that

722
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: one day at least we'll look back and see that

723
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:39,959
Speaker 1: we really just were dragged to herd immunity with people

724
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: saying they were going to stop this thing. But by

725
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: the time we got to herd immunity, we had suffered

726
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: through the maximum amount of anxiety, tranny, economic destruction, psychological

727
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: devastation possible to get us to a point that we

728
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: were inevitably heading to anyway, which is a huge amount

729
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: of infections, unfortunately, a terrible amount of death despite all

730
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: these intervention to interventions as Fauchi calls them, And yeah,

731
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: we're getting to hurt immunity with a maximum amount of

732
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: damage done along the way. That was unnecessary damage. I mean,

733
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: we were gonna have a lot of infections and a

734
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: lot of bad stuff happen here no matter what. But

735
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: you look at all the things that have been done.

736
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean, just look at a side by side comparison.

737
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 1: They're out there right now of states with mask mandates

738
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: and states without them, and you will see a remarkable

739
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: thing here. You'll see the same rise and fall on

740
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: the same timeline, irrespective of whether there was a mask

741
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: mandate in place or not. And we're talking about dozens

742
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: of states. I mean, you line them all up, mask

743
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 1: mandate yes, mask mandate no, and you'll see a rise

744
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: and a fall and they're right in line with each

745
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: other with no real discernible difference whatsoever. But we all

746
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 1: had to go through a year of people going where

747
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: you double masks. You're putting me at rasby, you know,

748
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: freaking out all the time. Yeah, I know. I believe

749
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: in science. People that haven't read on their own about

750
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: anything in the world of science for the last twenty

751
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: years of their lives, all of a sudden, it's like

752
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,479
Speaker 1: they have been reading, you know, the New England Journal

753
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: of Medicine every day for fun. It's absurd. You know

754
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: what the science tells you? What's a bigger? What's a

755
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,720
Speaker 1: You know, should is dietary stodium an issue for heart disease?

756
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: Yes or no? Should he eat red meat? Yes or no?

757
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: Is being a vegan healthy? Yes or no? You know

758
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: our antibiotics and the food supply negatively affecting immunity? Yes

759
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,720
Speaker 1: or no? You want me to just keep going. Where's

760
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: the science on all these things? Well, there is science,

761
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: there's data, but there are arguments that are being made

762
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: because it's not clear you were if you were like me,

763
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: at least I know many of you were browbeaten, you

764
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: were shamed, You were forced to accept that the science

765
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: was settled when it wasn't. And when I say the

766
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: science is settled again, do I think that masks? Sometimes?

767
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: Will a mask stop somebody from getting COVID? Yeah? Of

768
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: course I think it works sometimes. Is it worth the

769
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: mass panic and dehumanization and discomfort and absurdity of all this?

770
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: Now they're double masking for a negligible benefit of less

771
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: than one percent or one percent? No, And if you're

772
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: going to argue with that, then you have to explain

773
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: to me why we don't have a fifteen dollars minimum wage,

774
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: why we don't ban alcohol illegal, make it illegal? Kill

775
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: so many people so bad? Right? People believe that there's freedom,

776
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: including the freedom to make bad decisions. And you know,

777
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: you could say, oh, but that's your own decision against yourself.

778
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 1: A lot of drunk driving deaths where people are killed

779
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: who had nothing to do with it. Ban alcohol, you

780
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: get rid of those, right. So I'm just saying, you know,

781
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: this is this is a question, do you want to

782
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: live in a society or not. Do you want to

783
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: live in a free country or do you want to

784
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 1: live in a fauci country. That's been really the central

785
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: debate of the last year, and the left and the

786
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: Democrats that media have been on the wrong side of it.

787
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: Doctor Lena. When this woman was she was an MD

788
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,280
Speaker 1: at Planned parenthood, just you understand what her moral compass

789
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: is like. So she understands fully the procedure, although she

790
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: was not extreme enough for planned parenthood, which is the

791
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: really one of the most odious and immoral organizations, not

792
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: just in America today but in all of America and

793
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: all of modern history. Here she is, though, talking on

794
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,720
Speaker 1: CNN about how they're really the CDC is really messing

795
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: up this whole vaccination post vaccination behavior guidance situation. Play

796
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: a team. So we have what thirty million people who

797
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: are already fully vaccinated, that's almost ten percent of the population,

798
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: and we have not been giving guidance to these individuals

799
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: who want to know, what is it that I can

800
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: do now? And in the absence of information, they're making

801
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: decisions anyway. Some people are throwing away their masks, which

802
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: is not a good idea. Others just really want to

803
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: visit their grandchildren, which is something that we should be

804
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: able to tell people please do that. I'm also very

805
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: concerned that we're squandering an opportunity to specifically tie these

806
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: reopening that's already happening in various states with vaccination status.

807
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: This is the time now to be saying, as an example,

808
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: maybe you can reopen a one hundred percent for people

809
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: who are vaccinated, but maybe people who are not vaccinated.

810
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 1: If you're not checking vaccination status, you can only open

811
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: at twenty five percent. Keep masks on, but continue. But

812
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,280
Speaker 1: we really need to be looking at how vaccination status

813
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: is tied to reopening and every day that goes by

814
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: without that kind of specific guidance from the city. See again,

815
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: the governors, as you were just discussing, and Michael, we're

816
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: just discussing. Governors are making these decisions anyway, so let's

817
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: give them the tools to do so. Go Fauci yourself,

818
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: give me a break. Notice micro management as well. Some

819
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: places could open up to a certain capacity and other

820
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: places could open up to another capacity, depending on vaccination. Said,

821
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: how are they going to check any of this? Is?

822
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: You know the difference in me and these these little

823
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: authoritarian tyrants is that I live in the real world.

824
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: How are they gonna check? How are they gonna know?

825
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: The reason the CDC won't put out guidance is they

826
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: know that they can't. If they release their grip a little,

827
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: people are just gonna say, yeah, you know what, this

828
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: is nonsense, I'm done. So they're just they'd rather just

829
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: have total control, or at least believe they have total

830
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: control over people's behaviors. I know not everyone's listening to

831
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: them anyway, but this is this is ridiculous. But what

832
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: they really don't want to say is yeh, if you're vaccinated,

833
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: you can start living a normal life again. They won't

834
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 1: say that. Why because there's still a risk. There's always

835
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: still a risk. What is it gonna take for people

836
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: to understand this. There's always still a risk. There's no

837
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: such thing as zero risk. But what they're doing is

838
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: pushing a risk parameters into the the into absurdity, and

839
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: they're destroying freedom and they're destroying liberty in the process.

840
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: And for what for what They didn't even they didn't

841
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 1: even make everything better. Let's the other It's not like

842
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: they they saved all these lives and stopped all the

843
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: cases that ever didn't happen. It didn't happen. We saw

844
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: they fail. They were wrong. How much more obvious does

845
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: it have to get? Oh, but people weren't listening and

846
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: they weren't doing their masks. I'm here in New York City.

847
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: We had a second wave. We had a second shutdown.

848
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: You everyone outside is wearing masks, and there's not even

849
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: any data to indicate that mask wearing outside is a

850
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 1: necessary precaution against the virus. That's how much we're masking.

851
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: You know, Switzerland just voted to ban face coverings. They

852
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: did it really in the context of more extreme adherents

853
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: of Islam. You'll have women who will wear either an

854
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: abaya or a burka or you know, than they wear

855
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: the nikab, which is the face fail, and or burker.

856
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: Obviously burker always has a face covering face fail. Actually

857
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: that burker is full. It's just a slit for the eyes.

858
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 1: And they voted just by a narrow margin. But the

859
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: Swiss voted. Sorry, now you have to show your face

860
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: in public. You're not allowed to cover your face in public.

861
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter that you think this is a religious freedom issue.

862
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: You know, you have to show your face because not

863
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: showing your face is dehumanizing and breaks down public trust,

864
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: and it has psychological impacts on society that are really deliterious.

865
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: We all knew that in this country until twelve months ago,

866
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: and now they want us to forget that. There are

867
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 1: costs to this. This, This was not something we could

868
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: just do. Oh, it's not a big deal. No, it

869
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: is a big deal. The government thinks it can tell

870
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: me to wear a mask. What else is the government

871
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: think it can do for my benefit? Where else is

872
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: the government able to just say you can't live life

873
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: anymore until you do things my way. You don't think

874
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: the people that are claiming that climate changes in existential

875
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: threat will abuse this. If you don't think so, you're

876
00:48:58,120 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: not paying attention.
