1 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Democrats are terrified of 2 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: an economic rebound. Are COVID deaths overcounted? We're undercounted in states. 3 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 1: The District of Columbia has a reopened checklist. How the 4 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: media is only going to get more partisan? The Ultimate 5 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: Karen video goes viral and a frisky Canadian gets on 6 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: TV and gets into hot water. Coming up, this is 7 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexon Show, where the mission or mission is 8 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, 9 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: you're great American Again. The Buck Sexon Show begins analyst, 10 00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: he's a great guy. Now, welcome everybody to the Buck 11 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. I trust you had a good holiday weekend, 12 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: time with friends, family, time to reflect a bit on 13 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: what the weekend really means. Hopefully you're at least able 14 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: to zoom call with loved ones if you weren't able 15 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: to be with them. I'm increasingly intolerant of the insanity 16 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: out there. I increasingly find myself unable to excuse the 17 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: extreme fearmongering that's still going on, especially as I walk 18 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: around and see people who are as I did yesterday 19 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: here in New York City, I took a stroll down 20 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: the Hudson River, once the most important waterway in America 21 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: and the early years of our republic, and now a 22 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: river that feels like doesn't get much attention. But I 23 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: took a walk along it beautiful day, and there are 24 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: people bicycling, jogging with masks on, jogging and bicycling with 25 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: masks on. This has become absurd beyond words. There's no 26 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: reason for this. And if it were just people making 27 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: this decision, if it were people who decided for themselves 28 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: that they were they were going to take this step, 29 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: that's fine. But you are expected to do this as well. 30 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: You're expected to do this. There's a video that went 31 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: viral over the weekend of people in Staten Island, New 32 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,839 Speaker 1: York who saw someone in a grocery store who did 33 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: not have a mask on, and instead of just going 34 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: up to management, instead of saying, hey, would you mind 35 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: putting on a mask? Which I also think, let's remember 36 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: the chance that this person happens to be this person 37 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: happens to have a viral load that is transmissible is 38 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: about one less than one percent by the numbers, So 39 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: you've got a person who is ninety nine percent likely 40 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: to be entirely healthy, no risk to anyone who doesn't 41 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: have a mask indoors. I understand businesses can request that 42 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: people wear a mask, but remember it's also a state mandate, 43 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: so it's not really just private businesses. This is a 44 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: government mandate that private businesses have now adopted because they've 45 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: been told to. So it's a little more complicated than 46 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: just the free market is speaking. No, this is Cuomo. 47 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: This is various governors, various officials in cities across the country. 48 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: This is their decision. And this is still happening here 49 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: while God bless you. Down in Texas, down in Georgia, 50 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: down in Florida, people are living their lives again. Wow, 51 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: what a thing that is. But there was this gathering 52 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: in Stein Island, a lot of cursing, a lot of nastiness. 53 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: They gathered together in a mob. They were just missing 54 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: the torches and the pitchforks, screaming at this person, you know, 55 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: to get out of you know, get the bleep out 56 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 1: of here, and bleep this and bleep that. And look, 57 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: it was stann Island, so people are going to have 58 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: the salty language. But they were yelling and saying you 59 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: must leave right away. And that was the gentle way 60 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: of saying it. And I see this, and I just 61 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: I'm angry because of this mob mentality that has shown up. 62 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: And it's also a reminder that this is this is 63 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: not voluntary, right, this is now all being driven by fear, 64 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: by paranoia, by government mandate. Cases are going down dramatically. 65 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: They have gone down. I mean the point now in 66 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: New York, the worst place in the whole country for 67 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, we're at APLE a couple of hundred new 68 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 1: hospital admissions a day. We were at a few thousand, 69 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: so we're at a tiny fraction of where we were. 70 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: And yet somehow people are more terrified than ever because 71 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, if we reopen, then we're all gonna die. No, 72 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: it turns out we're not all going to die from this, 73 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: well we are, I mean, as I am find of 74 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: pointing out, we are in fact all going to die, 75 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: which those of us on the right, and I will 76 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: just say it, people that tend to have a connection 77 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: to the religious and the spiritual, I think perhaps are 78 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: more accepting of this end state that we are all 79 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: going to at least when it comes to how it 80 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: affects their perception of public policy. You know, a lot 81 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: a lot of left wing socialist atheist types like, oh 82 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: my gosh, the state, we'll protect us. Nope, no, we're 83 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: actually all going to die. But we're not all going 84 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: to die from COVID nineteen. In fact, a very small 85 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: percentage of us will. And it is a manageable public 86 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: health problem now, the same way that other diseases out 87 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: there that have killed in the aggregate far more people. 88 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: You know, if we only end up having one season 89 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen, let's remember, then our yearly toll for 90 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: the last ten years or for the next ten years 91 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: from flu will will dwarf, the will far exceed the 92 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: number of people that have died from this, assuming that 93 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: it's a one year count. But we'll have to see, 94 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: we'll have to see. But this is now going to 95 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: be a debate that stretches into not just the fall, 96 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: but how many how many times our public health authorities 97 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: going to make these kinds of proclamations, even when they've 98 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: been wrong, wrong, and wrong again. I see that Texas, 99 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: for example, I mentioned Texas before they had on I 100 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: believe it was Memorial Day, the governor tweeted out they've 101 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: had the fewest fatality since the end of March, the 102 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: fewest COVID hospitalization since the middle of April, and the 103 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: second most recoveries from COVID in America, and yet in 104 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: other places in Blue States, people are still even more 105 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: scared now than they were a few weeks ago. Numbers 106 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: are going down, cases are going down. It's clear from 107 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: serology testing that you have probably thirty million people in 108 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,559 Speaker 1: this country have been infected with this. That's the best 109 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: that's the best estimate they have now, but it's based 110 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: on real data. So you know, close to ten percent 111 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: of the US population has either been in or head 112 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: antibodies to this, and it could be more. But that 113 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: doesn't somehow affect the Democrat perception that this is in 114 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: fact much less horrific. It's still terrible. We've lost so 115 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: many people. I saw the New York Times front page 116 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: a few days ago over one hundred thousand dead from this. 117 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: And I know that there's some back and forth on 118 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: the count, but whether it's eighty thousand or one hundred 119 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: and twenty thousand, it's far too many people who have 120 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: died from this. It's a horrible tragedy, but we do 121 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: suffer tragedies as a society. This can whether it's war 122 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: or disease. We're lucky we haven't suffered famine. Although keep 123 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: shutting down the economy indefinitely and keep doing this, and 124 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: who knows what will happen to the food supply in time. 125 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's going to be a problem right now, 126 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: but you can't keep doing this shutdown thing. This has 127 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: been this look. The shutdown was the universal shutdown was 128 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: the wrong move. It was the wrong choice, and you're 129 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: going to have a fight about this that stretches not 130 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: just through this election, but stretches on for years, for 131 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: decades to come, because this is not the last time 132 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: we will be faced with this situation of a rapidly 133 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: spreading and fatal question of how fatal disease? Right? We 134 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: thought it was much more fatal in the early stages 135 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: of this, but somehow we've made it through the gauntlet. 136 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: We're trying to take our lives back. The President is 137 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: calling it a transition to greatness that we are about 138 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: to have as long as we can all go forward 139 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: as a country. And there are still people who are 140 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: holding back and certainly seem to be rooting for failure. 141 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: I don't know how else one could describe it. And 142 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: there is a piece in Politico, left wing site, but 143 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: occasionally some smart writing a piece and Politico called the 144 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: general action scenario that Democrats are dreading. And this is 145 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: putting into writing, This is letting us know what many 146 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: of us have been saying all along. We used to 147 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: be shoutowed down for this, even though it's obvious. And 148 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: that is the Democrats through a combination of their belief 149 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: in the overweening, overwhelming state, their desire to use this 150 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: as an opportunity to push us further closer to socialism, 151 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: and their sense that the state will protect you, and 152 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: their unwillingness to accept personal risk, and the fear mentality 153 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: that grips the left more than the right, not entirely, 154 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: but more than the right when it comes to matters 155 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: like this, and of course what the economy means for 156 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: the election. All these things are intertwined. But we know 157 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: that there is a large segment of the political and 158 00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: ideological left that recognizes that if there's a recovery, if 159 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: there's even the beginning of a real recovery, a return 160 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: to optimism and a return to normalcy, things are going 161 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: to be much harder for Joe Biden. So this is 162 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: what we've been saying. We've known this right that Democrats 163 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: have been slow rolling this that behind closed doors, you know, 164 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: top strategists, this one being a top economist in the 165 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: Obama administration. They're now coming forward with this not because 166 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: they want to be honest about it, that's see, this 167 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: is why this is why you know there's some truth 168 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: to it, but because they want the Democrat messaging to 169 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: reflect this possibility. They're trying to get ahead of this, 170 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: which is that if we reopen and if the virus 171 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: is not nearly as bad in the rebound as people 172 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: have been assuming for the last few months, which looks 173 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: very It looks like we're going to have a strong summer, 174 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: my friends. The only thing that will prevent it, it's 175 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: not the virus. It's the stupidity of our public officials. 176 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: And I tell you, when the President promised me last 177 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: week in the Oval office was a real moment. You know, 178 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: he went out in Michigan. I don't think he had 179 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: made this promise to anybody before he told me, and 180 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: then he went out. Now I could be wrong on that, 181 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: but I this is the one thing I wanted to 182 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: use my opportunity. Well, we talked about a few things, 183 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: but those were off the record, the important stuff. But 184 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: the one thing that I knew i could say that 185 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to get him on the record was that 186 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: they'll never do this lockdown, that the federal level will 187 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: never do this lockdown again. And people say, oh, but 188 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: it's not up to him. Well, if states think that 189 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: they're going to just trample on the constitutional rights and individuals, 190 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: guess what. The DOJ has a lot of lawyers and 191 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: endless resources. You know, it's a very different environment for 192 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: some of these governors if they're going to get dragged 193 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: into federal court right away. Now, I'm not saying we're 194 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: always gonna win. All you need is an Obama or 195 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: a Clinton judge, and sometimes even a Bush or a 196 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: Trump's judges are the best. Actually Trump's judges are the best. 197 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: But you know, a Bush judge even will let you 198 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: down on this stuff and decide to rule with the 199 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: leftist mob instead of the rule of law. But it's 200 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: a different situation. The federal government is committed to preventing 201 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: a second shutdown, and the President promised me that, and 202 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: then he went out in Michigan the next day said 203 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: it to the national press, and I probably should have 204 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: made a bigger deal out of it when he told me, 205 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: But I wanted to tell all of you first, no 206 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: second shutdown. Here's the problem for Democrats. There's no second shutdown. Well, 207 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: then what does the economy start to look like in 208 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: in August, September, October. It's definitely going to be better 209 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: than it is right now if we reopened and we 210 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: don't go back into the shutdown turtle in the shell 211 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: posture that we've had recently, which I think is not 212 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: supported by the facts in the day. At this point, 213 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: it was not the right move we've had. We've had 214 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: a horrific sacrifice here of our elderly in nursing homes, 215 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: elderly care facilities, the single most important thing for the government. 216 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: And to get right here in terms of protecting life 217 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: at the state level, they got wrong. This is a 218 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: state thing, it's not really a federal thing. They got 219 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: it wrong in New York, in New Jersey, place after place. 220 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,599 Speaker 1: But remember, the Democrats are first and foremost power obsessed. 221 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: The left is power obsessed more than any principle, more 222 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: than any specific outcome. They want to be in charge. 223 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: They want to be in charge of you. And with that, 224 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: I now look at how this plays out for them. 225 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: And you have this piece in Politico that's saying, if 226 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: there's the beginning of an economic recovery, we are going 227 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: to be in really bad shape because it's going to 228 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: look like Trump can just tell the American people give 229 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: you more time, guys, we're back in action. That economy 230 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: you had in twenty nineteen, it's coming back in twenty 231 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: twenty one. Why do a big shift to Joe Biden 232 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: when we're in the right direction. Now we all know 233 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: that this was in external virus. We all know, so 234 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: they're going to have to prepare for that. But now 235 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: this gets us into which path to the Democrats push 236 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: for to extend the pain of the lockdowns we have. 237 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: We have breadlines, food lines here in New York City, 238 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: still thousands of people in them day in and day out, thousands. 239 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: Democrats don't care. They care so much about the poor, 240 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: not the people who can't feed themselves because of the 241 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: moronic continuation of these lockdowns. But oh, they care about 242 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: the poor so much. No, what they care about right 243 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: now is defeating Trump and the economy going poorly for 244 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: as long as possible. Being suppressed and stifled as long 245 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: as possible is clearly in the Democrat Party's interests, and 246 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: they are taking action based upon it. The numbers no 247 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: longer justify the economic shutdowns we have in these states. 248 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: You might say, well, buck, what about the governors. Don't 249 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: they want don't they want things to come back? No? No No, 250 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: no no. They're holding their economy's hostage to a federal 251 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: ail out. At this point, they feel like they can 252 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: just blame their federal government and all the shortfalls in 253 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: their budgets for the few months we've had here, and 254 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: then a few months ahead, federal government, Uncle Sam's going 255 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: to write them a check and they get to be 256 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: heroes and they get to say they saved lives, even 257 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: in places like New York, which has been a textbookcase 258 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: of bureaucratic and elected political leaders ineptitude, stupidity, and covering 259 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: their butts when things get really bad. That's what's happened here. 260 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: We need to reopen this country, but we need to 261 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: do it with an urgency that recognizes not only the 262 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: pain and suffering that people across this country have because 263 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: of the shutdown, but also understands the political dynamics, the 264 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: implications here of what the Democrats, what the left are 265 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: really rooting for, and what's in their interest. They have 266 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: to keep this suppressed as long as they can because 267 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: they know that even a minimal a minimal v recovery 268 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: or just the beginnings of what is clear economic strength. 269 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: I mean here, they're saying that there's the possibility that quote, 270 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: we are about to see the best economic data we've 271 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: seen in the history of the country in the third 272 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: quarter of this year. This is a former Obama administration 273 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: economist now professor at Harvard. He's saying, watch out, guys, 274 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: the Trump economy may come back, which we all know 275 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: would be fabulous for this country, including the idiot libs 276 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: who hate Trump, amazing for this country, and they don't 277 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: want that to happen. They'd rather be in power than 278 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: have all of us prosper. You're in the Freedom Hunt. 279 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. There's only 280 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: one set of numbers, right. This is not pick your 281 00:16:54,560 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: numbers here. We have statewide criteria. They are the same 282 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: all across the state, and we know where we are 283 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: on each of those criterion on any given day, and 284 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: they're posted on the website. So we all there's one 285 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: set of numbers. We all know the numbers. The question 286 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: is at what point do the numbers drop to the 287 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: reopening threshold. Now people can speculate, people can guess. I 288 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: think next week, I think two weeks, I think a month. 289 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm out of that business because we all failed at 290 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: that business. Right, all the early national experts, here's my 291 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: projection model, here's my projection model. They were all wrong. 292 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: They're all wrong, indeed. But notice what happens here. Projections 293 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: were universally, it seems, shouted at all of us as 294 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: the justification for locking us down. But now when it 295 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: comes to projections to get as unlocked we let's not 296 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: make any projections here. Let's not use the numbers. Let's 297 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: not commit to two weeks from now. Let's see where 298 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: we are. Let's see where we are. That wasn't what 299 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: we were told at the beginning of this. Now you 300 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: could say, buckle, don't we want to learn from our mistakes? No, 301 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: I think it's more than that. I don't think they 302 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: want to learn from their mistakes, particularly in this regard. 303 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: They were happy to use the fearmongering models to get 304 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: what they wanted, which was this lockdown across the country, 305 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: because it keeps the public officials from having to bear 306 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: the responsibility in their minds, Oh, it's been taken out 307 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: of my hands. We'll just do this. But now that 308 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: it comes to reopening, drag their feet can't look at 309 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: the projections. Drag their feet can't look at the projections. 310 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: Quite a coincidence.

Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, 312 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Why you wouldn't use 313 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: it it there's no legitimate rational explanation. Well, I don't 314 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: like the way it looks. You know what, paint something 315 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: on the mask, right, get a new color. You know, 316 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: you can get a designer mask. It's such a the opposition, 317 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: it's so trivial and nonsensical relative to the risk you 318 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: could get sick. You could make somebody else sick. Even 319 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: if you think you're a superman or superwoman, you could 320 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: bring the virus home and get someone sick and it 321 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: winds up killing them. So it's just it's not smart. 322 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: It's not smart. My colleague Melissa the Rosa I said 323 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: yesterday it was stupid. That's another way of saying not smart, 324 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 1: sort of the hyper New York way of saying that 325 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: takes less words, not smart, stupid. Well, look, let me explain, Hey, 326 00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: wear a mask. If you're not wearing a mask, you're 327 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: being dumb. But we don't want to say dumb, so 328 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: we'll call it less than smart. Why would you not 329 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: wear a mask? Let me explain, if you don't wear 330 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: a mask, you may be a mask murderer because you're 331 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: not wearing a mask. Oh my gosh, you guys. Are 332 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: all those of you who are not in New York, 333 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: which I know as a vast majority of you are, 334 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: you are so lucky. But you know, I'm not trying 335 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: to focus this on New York today for any reason 336 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: other than just we're we're the worst case, the worst holdout. 337 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: This shitty is in a coma right now, and you 338 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: have these morons in charge with stupid metrics. We're now 339 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: we're now supposed to be all clapping. Yet they've got 340 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: the tracers in place, the tracing teams. If you're near 341 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: someone for more than ten minutes who has COVID, they're 342 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: gonna tell you you have to quarantine for two weeks. 343 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: Guess what. People are gonna say, No, Then what happens. 344 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: They're gonna say, I feel fine, I don't think i've 345 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: got Oh, you mean, the voluntary will become compulsory. That's 346 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: that's where we remember. Look at masks. The voluntary will 347 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: become compulsory. The people making these decisions will say, if 348 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: you're not willing to listen, you're killing people. So I'm 349 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna take it out of your hands. I'm 350 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: gonna make sure that you cannot kill people by not 351 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: wearing a mask. Healthcare provide us wear masks for ten 352 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: hours at the time. Why could you wear a mask 353 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: for an hour? Why could you wear a mask for 354 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: an hour? Someone tell me this, Well, the reason we 355 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: can't do it is because it's dumb. The reason I'm 356 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: not wearing a mask when I go outside all the 357 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: time is that I'm not going to live my life 358 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: with a stupid face covering that is uncomfortable because of 359 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: the infinitesimal possibility that somebody may come near me, even 360 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: though I've already had a COVID test last week. Whatever, 361 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, at what point is it too silly? 362 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: Is it too dumb? What about if I was willing 363 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: to get a COVID test every week for the next 364 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, two months, which I would. It's not that hard. 365 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: I would do it if they were going to pay 366 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: for it. Do I still have to wear a mask 367 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: all the time? Oh well, maybe you get infected, even 368 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: when you're not really supposed to get infected, you'll get 369 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: in This is this is absurd, but it's political. It's political, 370 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: and it's it's frustrating beyond words. And I have friends 371 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: who have had their careers right now shattered by this. 372 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: I know people personally very well who no longer you know. Yeah, 373 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna get the they're gonna get the temporary unemployment 374 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: at hand. But that doesn't I mean in New York 375 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: City unemployment. This doesn't. This doesn't pay anybody's bills if 376 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: you live in this, if you live in any high 377 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: rent the biggest problem most people have his rent to 378 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: the mortgage. Right, if you live in any high rent, 379 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: high mortgage place, I mean unemployment, you're not even you're 380 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: not even covering your never mind you know, buying a 381 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: sandwich or like downloading something off the internet, you know 382 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: internet to watch on TV. You can't do any of 383 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: this stuff. So what they don't understand is the restructuring 384 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: of businesses that's happened, that's occurring right now means there's 385 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: going to be a lot fewer jobs in some of 386 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: these industries. And it's not based on anything other than 387 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: trying to prepare for the possibility of more government action 388 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: like this. You know, they don't want to you know that. 389 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: This is why the President promising me no second shutdown 390 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: last week was so important, because otherwise you're going to 391 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: have You're gonna have economic pandemonium. I mean, what business 392 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: could ever come back, could ever run itself effectively with 393 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: this hanging over its head? Here, you know, here's doctor 394 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: Burke's famous for her pronouncements from the Coronavirus Task Force 395 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: briefings and her colorful scarves, which I believe are generally Ermes. 396 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: Those scarves are very pricey. But here she is the 397 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: man up be Airmes. I don't know, that's just the 398 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,959 Speaker 1: fanciest scarf company I could think of. Here she is 399 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: telling us about what they're doing to get ready for 400 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: the potential wave of this fall play twelve. Also, I 401 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: want to be very clear to the American people, we 402 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: are preparing for that potential fall issue both in PPE, 403 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: which is protective devices, both in ventilators, stockpiles, and ensuring 404 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: that we're really pushing on therapeutics and vaccine development so 405 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: we can be ready if the virus does come back 406 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: in a significant way. This I think is more than 407 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: anything else that we see right now, more than any 408 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: political ad or any specific set of economic numbers. This 409 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: is really going to determine assuming that we can get 410 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: to effectively a full reopen. And the good news is 411 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: that for all the people out there we're like, oh, 412 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: my gosh, they're not wearing a mask in public and 413 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: open air. Oh, for all the people that are doing that, 414 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: there are far more people who are saying, you know what, 415 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: it's summertime. Respiratory viruses are far less of a problem 416 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: in summertime. And have that's been the case, oh for 417 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: the last one hundred years or so. We all know that. 418 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: And so when they have a little bit of freedom, 419 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,239 Speaker 1: they start to operate with even greater freedom. I mean, 420 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: I have friends, I have friends in some of the 421 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: most open states Georgia, Texas, Florida who are saying that, 422 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: you know what, the restaurants, oh, they have a capacity 423 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: people are just going to restaurants now, and God, God 424 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: bless them. Okay, this this is not what's the alternative, 425 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: We're just gonna live in fear. Oh let's let them 426 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: set up the stupid rules forever. Oh no, no, this 427 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: is this is really popularized, this notion, and we'll return 428 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: to it later on the show because there's this viral 429 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 1: video of a woman who, in a sense, is being 430 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: called at least the ultimate Karen. And I feel bad 431 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: for a lady's name lady's named Karen right now, because 432 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: it has become this term that is considered interchangeable with 433 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: a person who is kind of a busybody, a snoop. 434 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: You know, I want to talk to the manager. You know, 435 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: that's kind of the Karen attitude out there, and it's 436 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: not you people named Karen. Look, they're a I've known 437 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: some very nice Karen's and any Karen's listening to this. 438 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm sorry your name has been appropriated culturally for this purpose, 439 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: but it is. But then again, I mean, I'm gonna 440 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: be an uncle in the fall WHOA, which is exciting, 441 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: but you know it's not going to be as exciting. 442 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be Uncle Buck, No way, around it, no 443 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: way around it. Those though that that wonderful child will 444 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: grow up and at some point we'll say, hey, you're 445 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: a really great uncle. Have you ever heard of this movie? 446 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: Uncle Buck? And I'm just gonna have to take that 447 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: one on the chin. Yep. John Candy's like the you know, 448 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: the loutish, you know, immature failure launch family member anyway. 449 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: But you know, so we all got we all got 450 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: our cross to bear with our names. What can I 451 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: tell you? So Karen's out there, I'm sorry, but your 452 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: name has become this cultural touchdown now people are always 453 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: talking about Karen's but this mentality that everybody, if someone's 454 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: not wearing a mask, you need to act like they're 455 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: You need to act like that you've caught them drunk driving. 456 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: I mean, that's really what it turns and do for people. 457 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: You need to act like if not for interceding, how 458 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: are you not wearing a mask? Five people could die, 459 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: you know, because the car spins out and smashes into 460 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 1: people on the sidewalk or something horrible like that. No, 461 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: that's not that's not reality. That's not indicative of what 462 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: the real risks are at all. And I'm also very 463 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: frustrated that people who are supposed to be experts about 464 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: this disaster management area are just proving themselves to be 465 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: completely absurd and wrong over and over again. Michael Chertoff, 466 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: some of you may remember, he now runs the Chertoff Group, 467 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: all these guys that get these big government jobs, then 468 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: starts some consulting agency where they're really just selling their 469 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: rolodex if you want another truth. For the most part, 470 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: that's generally what happens. But here's Chertoff, who is advising 471 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: DC's Mayor Bowser on the opening of schools. And they remember, 472 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: I was just in DC last week. D C is 473 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: less open than New York City right now, at least 474 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: from what I could see. I was shocked. Nothing was 475 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: open there. No school not schools, of course those are 476 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: locked down, but no stores, restaurants. And I know that 477 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: city well, so I kind of knew who might be 478 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: not in business. Here's Turdoff. They're talking about where we 479 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: should be with schools in DC and by association or 480 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: by just the transitive property of policy which I just 481 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: made up, but that's a thing now that this is 482 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: the way it should be across the country for schools. 483 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: Play clip producer Mark play clip one. One of the 484 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: recommendations that you put forward, whether or not the mayor 485 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: takes it, is not to fully reopen schools for in 486 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: person learning until there is a vaccine. How would that work? 487 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? Well, the idea is 488 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: at least in stage one to have distance learning, have 489 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: it been done remotely, but then over the next two stages, 490 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: which mean that we would have basically reduced the outbreak 491 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: too isolated outbreaks. During the next period of time, we 492 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: would slowly begin to bring students in those entering transitional 493 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: grades or needing extra instruction would come in. First, we'd 494 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: make sure to maintain distancing in classrooms, to keep the 495 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: collection of people in a particular classroom below a certain 496 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: number like ten, to make sure the same youngsters were 497 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: together throughout the day so you don't have a lot 498 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: of people mixing with other groups. And then to have 499 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: a present on staff people with health background and experience 500 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: in case someone displays symptoms or some issue arises. And 501 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: the idea would be eventually during the course of this 502 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: time to basically reopen but in a very measured and 503 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: deliberate way. While why we have to do it in 504 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: such a measured and deliberate way. Why can't we just 505 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: reopen schools after Labor Day? Kids are at almost no 506 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: risk from this. They are at more risk from the 507 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: flu every year. That's right. For those of you who 508 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: have children, your child is at greater risk of mortality, 509 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: and it's a very small risk. So I'm not trying 510 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: to pray on anyone's fears here, but your child is 511 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,479 Speaker 1: at greater risk from the seasonal flu than they are 512 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: from COVID nineteen. That's a fact. And yet we're not 513 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,239 Speaker 1: able to open up schools because of COVID nineteen. Now 514 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: you might say, oh, what about the teachers. I mean, 515 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, first of all, we should be doing prology 516 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: testing on teachers to see who may have already been exposed, 517 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: and then they won't have to worry. All of the 518 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: recent studies are showing that there are antibodies to this 519 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: if you are exposed or if you have a low 520 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: level infection. The big study out now on healthcare workers. Yes, 521 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: the ones who had low grade infections, they do have antibodies. 522 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: So there's going to be some percentage of teachers who 523 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: are able to go back because there are at no 524 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: real risk from infection. There's going to be some percentage 525 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: of teachers who are young enough. A lot of particularly 526 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: primary school teachers are young enough that they're you know, 527 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: if someone told me that my job was to teach 528 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: what I go back to school in the fall. Absolutely, 529 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: US producer Mark wants to go back to the studio 530 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: because he likes the studio. So I sit here and 531 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm saying, okay, well, you know, at some point we'll 532 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: go back to the studio. He's not scared, he's not 533 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: worried about what's going to happen in the fall. And 534 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: you know this is this is the mentor people want 535 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: to go about their lives. They want to engage in 536 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: their careers and their professions and understand that, within reason, 537 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: there are risks that they should be willing to take. 538 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: So I just think this is wrong. Here's what Mike 539 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: Pence and I understand, Like parents are very understanding, be 540 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: very cautious about their kids. It's not the kids where 541 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: we should be even a little bit worried about with 542 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen as an infection issue, as a they can't 543 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: go to school issue, it's a big problem. But for 544 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: the adults it should be manageable. And you know, maybe 545 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: a lot of these administrators and people that are getting 546 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: paid to be in the school system for reasons that 547 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: have nothing to do with teaching. Maybe they work remotely, 548 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: maybe they stay home. Maybe you know, we ask teachers, 549 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: maybe teachers get a little additional pay for you need 550 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: in person instruction for these kids. Okay, you can't have 551 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: everybody just zooming from home. We're not set up for it. 552 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: It's not real homeschooling, as we've discussed. It's like triage homeschooling. 553 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,239 Speaker 1: And here's what Vice President Pence as saying about how 554 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: we're going to get kids back to school. Plicklipate to 555 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: produce useful information about about how we can bring back 556 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: our schools, how we can bring back summer camps, how 557 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: we can go back to churches and synagogues and mosques 558 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: and enjoy in a safe and responsible way our freedoms 559 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: of religion. So we're working very closely with university presidents 560 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: around the country over the last several weeks. We'll be 561 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: welcoming them to the White House soon. And we have 562 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: every confidence. So whether it be our universities around the country, 563 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: or whether it be a primary and secondary education that 564 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: we're in most areas of the country, we're going to 565 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: be able to get kids back to school in a 566 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: safe and responsible way. Yeah, we need to get kids 567 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: back into school. They're at very little risk from this disease, 568 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: and anybody who's paying attention to the numbers knows that. 569 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,479 Speaker 1: And children need to be able to see their peers 570 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: and to learn and to be out in the world. 571 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: It is. It is horrible what we've done to kids. Here. 572 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: The real risk and we'll return to this, The real 573 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: risk from this disease all along was to the elderly 574 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: and to people in nursing homes, and that is the 575 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: single area where there has been the least amount of 576 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: preventative measures taken commensurate with the threat. They've they've fallen 577 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: down on this in ways that are just it's just appalling. 578 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: And now they're going to try to find all these 579 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: other people to blame. Reopen this country now, send kids 580 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: to school in the fall. I think they should be 581 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: talking about opening up summer prone. Look, we're writing trillion 582 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: dollars checks like it's going out of style, you know. 583 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: I think some school districts that we should consider, and 584 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: maybe if you need some federal funds for it. I 585 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: don't know whatever, but let kids. Let kids go to 586 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: summer camp. And if you're not going to go to 587 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: summer camp, open up schools and let kids do some 588 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: additional learning in person. Give them a place to go 589 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 1: that's not locked down in their homes in sweltering apartments 590 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: in major cities. You're in the freedom hunt. This is 591 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Yeah, the governor has discriminated 592 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: against churches and mosque and against synagogues because we as 593 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: a church have a First Amendment right, and he has 594 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: chosen to say Walmart, grocery stores, liquor stores, they can 595 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,359 Speaker 1: be open the whole entire time, and very directly, they're 596 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: not doing it nearly as safe as our churches doing it, 597 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: and so he has decided it according to whatever his 598 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: guidelines are. That no one really knows for what is 599 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: essential or not church is essential. Our people are New 600 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: Jersey citizens. You're a Jersey girl. You know all about 601 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: people loving their state, and here it is, as Jersey 602 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: citizens they're being told their church is not essential. Yeah. 603 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: I understand a lot of people don't understand why it's 604 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: so important to us, But as believers, we assemble together. 605 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: And these people have discouragement and depression and problems, including 606 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: economic problems. They want to be with their pastors and 607 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: they are doing it as best we possibly can. Yeah, 608 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: this is a critical point here from Pastor Charles Clark 609 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 1: the Third in New Jersey. First of all, the hostility 610 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: that the left wing lockdowners have had to religion from 611 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: the beginning of this, it's just appalling, right, Oh, you 612 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: can't do outdoor church. Oh you can't do drive in church. Oh, 613 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: you know, and taking people's license plate numbers down because 614 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: they're gathering for church. I mean, they forget, like, you know, 615 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: I just I'm more familiar with the early history of Christianity, 616 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 1: for example, than any other religion. People are willing to 617 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: take a lot of risk for their faith. People are 618 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: willing to do a lot to celebrate the Eucharist. You know, 619 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: someone coughing on them is not going to stop a 620 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: lot of people from deciding that they're going to go 621 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: and do that. But also at this point, to lock 622 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: people in their homes, to ruin millions and millions, tens 623 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: of millions of jobs, and bar them from their religious community, 624 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: it's just cruel that it's wrong. Thanks for listening to 625 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,280 Speaker 1: The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, 626 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. There's 627 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 1: no politics here. I can say that, but was still 628 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: in an election year and people are still playing politics, 629 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: and this is a hyperpartisan environment to the extent people 630 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 1: want to politicize this issue, and Republicans are saying, well, 631 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: new York did this. New York followed the president's agencies guidance, 632 00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: so that the politicizes it. What New York did was 633 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: follow what the Republican administration said to do. That's not 634 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 1: my attempt to politicize it. It's my attempt to depoliticize it. 635 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: So don't criticize the state for following the president's policy. 636 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: This is very political, and again this is true in 637 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: many states across the country. But the disaster of the 638 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: COVID response when it comes to our nursing homes is 639 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: not something that anyone can ignore, is not something that 640 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 1: anyone can just assume was somehow inevitable. It's horrific. It's 641 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: really horrific beyond words. And as we look at the 642 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: decisions that were made, they can now blame the federal government, 643 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 1: which of course they are doing, and that's what Cuomo 644 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: is doing here. But let's remember that the governors have 645 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: claimed all along that they don't have to that this 646 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: is up to them, that they don't have to do 647 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 1: what the federal government tells them to about this, that 648 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: this is under their own police and quarantine powers. So 649 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: when they want the authority to do what they want, 650 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 1: they claim it. And when they want an escape patch 651 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: for poor decision making that has had terrible consequences, then 652 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: they also just make that claim. You may be familiar 653 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: with the term to decimate. Decimate is to take a 654 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: tenth of and there is a well, there's a course. 655 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: To take a tenth of is something that you might 656 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,720 Speaker 1: think of in the context of tithing, and the word 657 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 1: decimatis taking a tenth of Latin medieval Latin. But it 658 00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: was also a punishment that was instituted in Rome. It 659 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 1: was a punishment for mutiny, for cowardice, and what they 660 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: would do is take one out of ten soldiers, and 661 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: in front of the other soldiers, one out of ten 662 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: would be usually bastinadoed, beaten to death. Horrible, but Roman, 663 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: the Roman legions were a very intense and brutal place, 664 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: and we have this word decimation that is used much 665 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: more freely put aside decimatis and the punishment of taking 666 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 1: one out of ten in a unit. In Roman, it 667 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 1: wasn't usually the whole legion, but it would have been 668 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 1: a smaller military grouping and they would kill one out 669 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 1: of ten people. We often use, you know, to decimate 670 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: just means to destroy or hurt really badly. But the 671 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: the usual or the traditional meaning is to take a 672 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 1: tenth of and it has been used throughout history. And 673 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,320 Speaker 1: I bring this up just because this moment in time 674 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: is one of those is one of those rare instances 675 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:10,800 Speaker 1: where the original usage of the term decimate is correct. 676 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: In New Jersey, the disaster in the nursing homes has 677 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: been so terrible that they that almost a tenth of 678 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: the entire nursing home population has died from COVID nineteen 679 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: it's over nine percent. So just if you round it 680 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: up a bit, you get to a true decimation of 681 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: the nursing home population in New Jersey. These aren't people 682 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: who are our moms and dads, grandmas and grandpa's brothers, sisters, 683 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,959 Speaker 1: loved ones. These are people who are veterans. Are people 684 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: who spend decades working in this country for this country, 685 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: you know, paying their taxes, obeying the law. I mean, 686 00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: there are people that they they all along have been 687 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 1: engaged in this social compact with America, you know, as 688 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: as citizens, people who have been doing their part and 689 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 1: now in their in their golden years, and they were 690 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: entrusted into our care collectively speaking, meaning the care of 691 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 1: these facilities, but also the state regulators and um and 692 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: the various officials and people who are involved in making 693 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 1: sure that these facilities are safe and that we're doing 694 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: everything we can to protect our seniors. Remember the seniors, 695 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 1: a lot of them there is they're not able to 696 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 1: go flee there, you know, they're they're not able to 697 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: go to some second home somewhere like a lot of 698 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,959 Speaker 1: people in some of these blue state enclaves did when 699 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: when things got badly, they're stuck in this nursing home 700 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 1: and they entrusted their their safety and their security to 701 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: us as a nation. And it is very clear at 702 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 1: this point that we failed them. And I just bring 703 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: I bring this up for many is one is just 704 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: we should be aware of this death toll. And as 705 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,319 Speaker 1: because you're being told to trust the government are being 706 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 1: told the government knows what it's doing, and listen to 707 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: the experts. How many, really prominent How many times did 708 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: you hear doctor Fauci stand up in front of America 709 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:19,240 Speaker 1: and say, hey, everybody, we got a five alarm fire 710 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 1: that's about to break out with this virus in our 711 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: nursing homes, and you know we should have you know, 712 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, the two priorities for PPE and for all 713 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,760 Speaker 1: the things that we've got need to be frontline medical 714 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 1: workers and anyone involved at a nursing home facility. That's 715 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: where we should be focused. Did you ever, I never, 716 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 1: I cannot remember once hearing with any urgency. You know, 717 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 1: we hear all this stuff about to put on a 718 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: mask or else do what we say flatten the curve. 719 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: Social distancing saves lives. Did you hear anyone say, hey, 720 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: we have to have and all out effort, especially as 721 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 1: this thing was really ramping up and getting towards the peak. 722 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,000 Speaker 1: We've long since passed the peak. We are through the 723 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: worst of this virus. And some people just they don't 724 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 1: want to look wrong and dumb, so they want to 725 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: admit that. But did you hear any of these experts 726 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,840 Speaker 1: raising the alarm about this. I watched so many hours 727 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: of press conferences, so many hours of people that all 728 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,240 Speaker 1: they're supposed to do is give us the best advice 729 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: on this. What do they have to share? What do 730 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:33,240 Speaker 1: they say about nursing homes? If in fact the federal 731 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: guidance was as stupid as what Cuomo was claiming it was, 732 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 1: and then the governors were dumb enough to go along 733 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 1: with it instead of objecting to it and doing what 734 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,399 Speaker 1: was necessary to save them. They care so much about 735 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,960 Speaker 1: saving lives, and you know, if it saves one life. 736 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: Cuomo used to always say, what about the five thousand 737 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 1: plus people who died in nursing homes on his watch? 738 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: Not talking about him as a presidential candidate anymore, are we? 739 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: But they if it was as bad as they say 740 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,799 Speaker 1: it is, Let's remember that it's because of the projections 741 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: that the so called experts were making the IHM models 742 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 1: out of Washington University from the Institute for Health Metrics 743 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 1: and Evaluation, supported by funded by the Bill and Melinda 744 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:20,800 Speaker 1: Gates Foundation. That became the principal set of numbers that 745 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,359 Speaker 1: we were using here. And what did we learn from 746 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 1: that principal set of numbers? We're going to have overwhelmed hospitals. 747 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: We came nowhere close in ninety nine percent of the 748 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 1: country to overwhelmed hospitals, and here in New York, quite honestly, 749 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: and never really got that close either. Right. We were 750 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 1: told that it would, but those models, those projections were 751 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,840 Speaker 1: so wrong, and if you question them, you were a 752 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: bad person. Maybe if we had been allowed to question 753 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 1: the numbers without being shouted down and told, oh, you know, 754 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 1: you're not you're not a scientists, you're not a doctor. 755 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,479 Speaker 1: You don't know, really, well, what are the assumptions built 756 00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: into this model? Are these models as fantastic? Is the say, 757 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 1: climate change models, which are laughable in their inaccuracy in 758 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 1: the scope of what is an acceptable margin of error? Laughable? No, No, 759 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 1: honest person who's not ideologically invested would see them and 760 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 1: say anything else. But we couldn't have that conversation. We 761 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: were told, shut up, peasant, go inside or else. You 762 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,800 Speaker 1: don't care about people dying. And meanwhile a lot of 763 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,760 Speaker 1: people were dying. But they were dying because the models 764 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: told us the hospitals were going to be overwhelmed, and 765 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 1: so in nursing homes the decision was made, Hey, we 766 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 1: got to get people out of the hospital and into 767 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,400 Speaker 1: the nursing home as quickly as possible to free up 768 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 1: hospital beds. So you see the shutdown of debate and 769 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,439 Speaker 1: discussion around this that occurred, let's say six seven weeks ago, 770 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 1: the shutdown of free expression around this issue, the shouts, 771 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 1: the squeals and screams from the people in the media. 772 00:45:55,040 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 1: You're not an expert, Really, what did the experts do 773 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: about this? What should have been done about this? I mean, 774 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 1: we should have had no one to bring to seed 775 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 1: the virus into nursing homes. Was the single most reckless 776 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 1: thing that you could do. Because here's the number you 777 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 1: need to know. And I give a hat tip to 778 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,760 Speaker 1: my friend O vic Roy for pulling this data together. 779 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,439 Speaker 1: He says, COVID nineteen nursing home fatalities, the latest data. 780 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 1: This was as a Friday. Nursing homes and assisted living 781 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:37,360 Speaker 1: facilities now represent forty two percent of all deaths from coronavirus, 782 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:44,719 Speaker 1: fifty two percent outside of New York State. And he 783 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 1: has a map, and the map is stunning. In New Hampshire, 784 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:57,360 Speaker 1: sixty nine sixty nine percent of deaths in nursing homes 785 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:03,840 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania seventy percent of deaths in nursing homes, seventy 786 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,800 Speaker 1: percent of overall deaths from the virus in nursing homes 787 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:13,960 Speaker 1: in Minnesota eighty one percent, in Washington State sixty one percent, 788 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 1: in Oregon fifty nine percent, in Idaho fifty six percent, 789 00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:24,840 Speaker 1: Kentucky fifty six percent, Virginia sixty two percent, Rhode Island 790 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 1: seventy seven percent, Massachusetts sixty one percent. That's of all faytuities. 791 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 1: And remember that's not including people who are seniors who 792 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 1: are at higher risk who this is just people in 793 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:45,320 Speaker 1: nursing homes. And where was this focus. Oh, the experts, 794 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 1: they know so much. Oh, listen to them, wash your hand, 795 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 1: social distance, put out a mask. Me doing all that 796 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 1: stuff was a waste of time while they were yelling 797 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,879 Speaker 1: at me and you to do that and shutting down 798 00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,319 Speaker 1: our businesses and telling us to lock indoors. It was 799 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:04,319 Speaker 1: policy pushed by experts at the state and perhaps even 800 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 1: at the federal level to take people who had symptoms 801 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,720 Speaker 1: and still were believed to be positive for COVID nineteen 802 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 1: and put them into nursing homes where they were certain 803 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 1: to infect their fellow residents and kill a large number 804 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 1: of them. Can't blame the seniors, and they're just coming 805 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,319 Speaker 1: out of the hospital. They're going where they're told they 806 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 1: have to go. It was on us, It was on 807 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 1: us to defend them, on us to protect them. And 808 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 1: in America we failed on this. We failed. But remember this, 809 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 1: the experts, the people that are telling you when you 810 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,280 Speaker 1: can and can't do this, and the ridiculous guidance sets 811 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 1: out there about all this different stuff with the businesses reopening. 812 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,760 Speaker 1: These people don't know what the heck they're talking about. 813 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,560 Speaker 1: They've been wrong on everything and on the single most 814 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,359 Speaker 1: important vulnerability we had from this virus, and we should 815 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 1: have known based on the fatalities and the median fatality 816 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: from COVID nineteen in Italy, which is that was the 817 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: big alarm bell for us, was what was going on 818 00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:02,319 Speaker 1: in northern Italy was over eighty. We knew that. And 819 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 1: where did they focus. They focused on emptying the schools 820 00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 1: of children because oh gosh, you know that, they just 821 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 1: they wanted to shut down schools right away as soon 822 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 1: as they could. And they focused on telling younger, healthier, 823 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,120 Speaker 1: lower risk people, wear a mask or else you're killing people, 824 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,480 Speaker 1: which was insane and then large numbers of people were 825 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,520 Speaker 1: dying in nursing homes. Don't let these don't let these 826 00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: lockdown clowns, these maniacs, these imbeciles like Cuomo and Deblasio 827 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,920 Speaker 1: and knew some and all these people. Now, look, California, 828 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,759 Speaker 1: we got to be fair to the numbers. California has 829 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,319 Speaker 1: not been hit badly by this. But they're the statism 830 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,719 Speaker 1: and the overwhelming impulse. They have to drag this out 831 00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,960 Speaker 1: even longer, despite the fact that California got pretty lucky here. 832 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,240 Speaker 1: But these people that are pushing these lockdowns, they didn't 833 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 1: do the single most important thing they could have done 834 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 1: to keep people alive during this. And they're gonna tell 835 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,400 Speaker 1: you that, oh, we saved so many we saved so 836 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,320 Speaker 1: many lives. As with the lockdown, Show me that data, 837 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 1: show me that data. It's not there yet. I don't think. 838 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 1: I don't think it's ever going to be there. I 839 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,880 Speaker 1: think the lockdown, I think the disease had already reached 840 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: a degree of spread where the lockdowns you will be 841 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: able to make a case the lockdowns might have infected 842 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 1: and killed even more people who are at high risk. 843 00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 1: You're in the freedom hunt. This is the buck Sexton 844 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: Show podcast. Well, what am I doing. I'm fighting the 845 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 1: deep state. I'm fighting I'm fighting the swamp. And I 846 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,400 Speaker 1: said I was doing it, and I'm exposing the swamp. 847 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,959 Speaker 1: I think if it keeps going the way I'm going, 848 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,799 Speaker 1: and Ratcliffe is fantastic, if it keeps going the way 849 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,360 Speaker 1: it's going, I have a chance to break the deep state. 850 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:49,360 Speaker 1: It's a vicious group of people. It's very bad for 851 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,440 Speaker 1: our country. And that's never happened before. You happened to 852 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 1: be a victim of the deep state. I hate to 853 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 1: tell you, whether you know it or not, but they've 854 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,360 Speaker 1: treated you horribly over the years, and so have they 855 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,239 Speaker 1: treated many other people. They never thought I was going 856 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,879 Speaker 1: to win, and then I won, and then they tried 857 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 1: to get me out. That was the insurance policy. She's 858 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,640 Speaker 1: going to win, but just in case she doesn't win, 859 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 1: we have an insurance policy. And now I beat him 860 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: in the insurance policy. And now they're being exposed. So 861 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:24,000 Speaker 1: the President is right and has been right about the 862 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:28,920 Speaker 1: existence of a deep state. Now that's important. I know. 863 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,359 Speaker 1: Right now it feels a bit like, oh, well, don't 864 00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,279 Speaker 1: we all know that? But the answer is no, we 865 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,239 Speaker 1: don't all know that. We don't all know that there 866 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,759 Speaker 1: has been this revelation because there are people who all 867 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,759 Speaker 1: along have been saying that there was no such thing, 868 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,959 Speaker 1: and they've been mocking those of us who have brought 869 00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 1: this up. And now they say that, well, it's not 870 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,840 Speaker 1: really a deep state. They're trying to redefine her, to 871 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,359 Speaker 1: call it something else, or just avoid all the revelations 872 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,480 Speaker 1: that we've had, avoid dealing with all the truth that 873 00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 1: has now come out about what at the DOJ, what 874 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 1: happened at the FBI, And it's stunning. It should be 875 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:11,160 Speaker 1: stunning to anybody to see how much would effort was put, 876 00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,880 Speaker 1: how much time was put by the most powerful law 877 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,839 Speaker 1: enforcement officials in the country into a case that, even 878 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,440 Speaker 1: before we were looking at it and going over it, 879 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:25,080 Speaker 1: in a case that was preposterous. It was just flatly observed. 880 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,120 Speaker 1: The whole Russia collusion thing. The fact that the FBI 881 00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,879 Speaker 1: and the dj were spending resources in time on this 882 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,080 Speaker 1: just goes to show you. I mean, are they are 883 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:38,719 Speaker 1: they that lacking not just in judgment but in real 884 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,480 Speaker 1: work to do well? As we know, this was all 885 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,719 Speaker 1: about destroying Trump, and so I guess they felt like 886 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 1: this was real work. This is what they felt they 887 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,640 Speaker 1: should do. In fact, I do believe that that Comy 888 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:53,640 Speaker 1: and mckaye, they're so sanctimonious and self righteous and delusional 889 00:52:54,400 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 1: that they would if given the opportunity they well, no, 890 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 1: they really have been. I don't even think this is 891 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,279 Speaker 1: a This is supposition on my part. They believe that 892 00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 1: what they did was patriotic, that that undermining the president 893 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,400 Speaker 1: in the way that they did attacking Really, the soft 894 00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,759 Speaker 1: coup effort against the President of the United States that 895 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,719 Speaker 1: they led was because they're such good people. And the 896 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,359 Speaker 1: journ does the journalism Do the journalism folks out there 897 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,400 Speaker 1: have any sense of remorse for their role in this 898 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,319 Speaker 1: whole thing? And Trump has been exposed in the deep state. 899 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,160 Speaker 1: Remember he promised me in the oval last week, President 900 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 1: Trump told me just wait till what's coming. So I'm 901 00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 1: expecting big things. The journalists feel, oh no, this is 902 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:37,799 Speaker 1: what they say play thirteen. This is what they say 903 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 1: about Trump. But Joe, is it really shocking? And he 904 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:45,440 Speaker 1: did this is this is a cool, damaged human being 905 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,759 Speaker 1: who goes out of his way to harm people, and 906 00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 1: he goes out of his way without seeing these people. 907 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,640 Speaker 1: He would never utter a single negative response to any 908 00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:01,520 Speaker 1: of the people that he attacked on Twitter over the weekend, 909 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:05,560 Speaker 1: if it were eye to eye contact. He is afraid 910 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 1: of that. He is afraid of the repudiation, but he's 911 00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,840 Speaker 1: afraid of the physicality of it. He's afraid of looking 912 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,640 Speaker 1: at someone in the eye and saying what he says 913 00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 1: on Twitter to them. He would never ever do that. 914 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean, this is just absurd. This president stood on 915 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,319 Speaker 1: stage against Hillary Clinton and was exactly who he always is, 916 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,240 Speaker 1: mocked her and all the journal supporting her to their faces. 917 00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,960 Speaker 1: I mean what, but until they apologize for Russia Gate, 918 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,680 Speaker 1: none of these journalists have any credibility, any ethics, any honesty. 919 00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,840 Speaker 1: Just remember that thanks for listening to the Bus Sesson 920 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:42,680 Speaker 1: Show podcasts.

How are things in 938 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,200 Speaker 1: your your neck of the woods in Pennsylvania these days? Um, 939 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,799 Speaker 1: you know, tell us what's going on? Yeah, well, I 940 00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,759 Speaker 1: mean Pennsylvanians are are resilient and Pennsylvanians are strong, but 941 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:52,120 Speaker 1: that that doesn't mean that people aren't struggling right now. 942 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,680 Speaker 1: You know, in the state of Pennsylvania, we have two 943 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:58,440 Speaker 1: point two million people unemployed. We've got the most unemployment 944 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,320 Speaker 1: claims any other state in the country. Over thirty percent 945 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:06,280 Speaker 1: of our work course is unemployed. We've got food lines 946 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:10,040 Speaker 1: in my district every single week, thousands of people and 947 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,960 Speaker 1: food lines. I never thought i'd see that before ever 948 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:16,919 Speaker 1: in America. I led alone in my hometown. So this 949 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,160 Speaker 1: pandemic has been rough on everybody. And I feel like 950 00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:25,239 Speaker 1: that's why, you know, I, along with Republicans and Democrats 951 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,120 Speaker 1: right in Pennsylvania, are putting all sorts of pressure on 952 00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,839 Speaker 1: the governor to allow us to reopen safety because, I mean, 953 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,600 Speaker 1: people's lives and livelihoods are on the line here, buck, 954 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,640 Speaker 1: and I mean we can't I mean, the governor just 955 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 1: said last week that we can't read. You know, he 956 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,279 Speaker 1: can't see us reopening until we have a full up, 957 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:47,160 Speaker 1: full proof vaccine, and that to me is just it's 958 00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,799 Speaker 1: just crazy and flies in the face of all the 959 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:53,120 Speaker 1: scientific data that's coming out about this virus. We don't 960 00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 1: have a choice. We have to reopen. We got to 961 00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,080 Speaker 1: do it safely. People's lives and livelihoods are on the 962 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 1: line here and are used to supposed to be then 963 00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,239 Speaker 1: at the state level in a in the zone by 964 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:07,359 Speaker 1: zone or is it mostly top down just from from 965 00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,440 Speaker 1: the capitol in Pennsylvania for you guys, you know, how 966 00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,400 Speaker 1: how is this supposed to work? I mean, the comment 967 00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,719 Speaker 1: that we have to wait till a vaccine is insane. 968 00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:17,720 Speaker 1: But he's not the only one who said it, I know, 969 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 1: I know. Well, so the governor on his plan is 970 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:25,880 Speaker 1: sort of a phased reopening right red being full lockdown 971 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,600 Speaker 1: yellow somewhere in the middle green reopening with you know, 972 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:33,120 Speaker 1: following city guidelines right now. You know, in and around 973 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,680 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia area is red. Most of the other areas 974 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,080 Speaker 1: of the state, other counties in the state are are yellow. 975 00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:43,480 Speaker 1: But my issue with this color coded plan is that 976 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:47,880 Speaker 1: there's really no functional difference between red and yellow. Um, 977 00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 1: you know, salons, restaurants, uh, you know those those are 978 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,600 Speaker 1: all still closed, you know, So it's really the restaurant 979 00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:00,439 Speaker 1: hairstyle of saland owners, uh you know, nail place, is 980 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 1: that most of these businesses are really the truth is 981 00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,680 Speaker 1: at risk of closing forever. And you know, if you 982 00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 1: look at the science right and what some of the 983 00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,200 Speaker 1: UPMC University of Pittsburgh Medical Center doctors, some of the 984 00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 1: most world renowned epidemiologists are in and around the Pittsburgh area, 985 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,800 Speaker 1: they've all said straight up that, you know, the surge 986 00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,800 Speaker 1: that we expected in the wake of COVID nineteen didn't happen. 987 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:26,720 Speaker 1: And most of these doctors now who again specialized and 988 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,920 Speaker 1: infectious disease are saying we've got to start reopening because 989 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 1: that casualty is from an economic fallout will be far 990 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,280 Speaker 1: greater than the casualties and this virus could ever inflict 991 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 1: on us. And in my worry is that we really 992 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:46,640 Speaker 1: truly are doing a generation or two's worth of economic 993 00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,240 Speaker 1: harm to the state of Pennsylvania. You know, these people. 994 00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,440 Speaker 1: The whole point of a lockdown, as you know, is 995 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,800 Speaker 1: supposed to be short lived, right to make sure to 996 00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,560 Speaker 1: buy our healthcare systems sometime give it a level of 997 00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:01,160 Speaker 1: resiliency prep or maybe overflow of the virus. But the 998 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 1: fact is a lockdown was never meant to happen in perpetuity. 999 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 1: And I think again, I can't stress this enough. Democrats 1000 00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,840 Speaker 1: and Republicans vote in the state of Pennsylvania are starting 1001 00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,360 Speaker 1: to push back against against this. The Governor Wolf is 1002 00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:22,880 Speaker 1: facing bipartisan resistance on lockdown in perpetuity and so worth 1003 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,080 Speaker 1: fighting every day just to make sure that people in 1004 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,200 Speaker 1: western Pennsylvania has a voice. At the end of the day, 1005 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:31,720 Speaker 1: running for Congress isn't about political party. It's about representative people, right, 1006 00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:33,880 Speaker 1: and that's what we're trying to do. We're speaking of 1007 00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:38,040 Speaker 1: Sean Parnell, Buddy amine, but also importantly decorated combat veteran 1008 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,840 Speaker 1: New York Times bestselling author and candy for the seventeenth 1009 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:47,120 Speaker 1: the mighty seventeenth congressionand District of Pennsylvania. And we're certainly 1010 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:49,640 Speaker 1: hoping that that's going to be something we can celebrate 1011 00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,360 Speaker 1: with him after the election occurs in November. So Sean 1012 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:57,800 Speaker 1: the President stepped in to his sixty plus million Twitter 1013 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:01,800 Speaker 1: followers and said, Sean Parnell, the men vote for Sean Parnell. 1014 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,920 Speaker 1: What And I know that that now has gotten you 1015 01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 1: even higher up. I'm sure on your candidate, you're rather 1016 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 1: the opposing candidate Connor Lamb's radar boo. So tell us 1017 01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,960 Speaker 1: about some of the aftermath of this and what it's 1018 01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,160 Speaker 1: been like to get not just that that that shout 1019 01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,000 Speaker 1: out from the President, but how the left is maneuvering 1020 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:24,920 Speaker 1: against you. Now they must realize you're gonna be a 1021 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,720 Speaker 1: force to be reckoned with. I mean, I already knew 1022 01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:32,320 Speaker 1: that obviously, but now they learn it. Buck. I gotta 1023 01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:35,440 Speaker 1: tell you, you know, I've known you for a long time. 1024 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,440 Speaker 1: You know how I feel about this country, right, and 1025 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,160 Speaker 1: I respect the office of the president, whether a Democrat 1026 01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,280 Speaker 1: sits in that office or Republican and to have the 1027 01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 1: endorsement of the President or the president focused on you 1028 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:53,320 Speaker 1: in any way, and the President Trump's case recognizing you know, 1029 01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,800 Speaker 1: my service and Michael Tuon service in Afghanistan. It's an 1030 01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 1: unbelievable honor to have that endorsement from the commander in chief, 1031 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 1: you know Buck. Ten years ago I was I carried 1032 01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:09,200 Speaker 1: a rifle in Afghanistan. My platoon got shot up pretty badly. 1033 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,880 Speaker 1: We took an eighty five percent casualty rate. I was 1034 01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 1: wounded myself and was medically retired. Before my time, I 1035 01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,800 Speaker 1: intended to come into the military, lead an infantry platoon, 1036 01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 1: joined the Special Forces, and try out for Delta. That 1037 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 1: was what I wanted. That was that was my dream, 1038 01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:27,640 Speaker 1: and it was all cut short because I got blown 1039 01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,720 Speaker 1: up in Afghanistan. I was medically retired from the military 1040 01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 1: in two thousand and ten. Hey on behalf of a 1041 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:37,480 Speaker 1: greatful nation seal later with next to nothing, and again 1042 01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,280 Speaker 1: a decade after that, I'm getting shout outs from the 1043 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,880 Speaker 1: President of the United States. If that doesn't tell you 1044 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,720 Speaker 1: how amazing this country is and that that we really 1045 01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:51,240 Speaker 1: truly are the land of opportunity and with hard work 1046 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:55,880 Speaker 1: and perseverance. You can accomplish anything that you want. I mean, 1047 01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,840 Speaker 1: it's just my gun. It's just so cool, you know. 1048 01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:05,600 Speaker 1: All that said, Uh, I spent most of the Memorial 1049 01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:10,919 Speaker 1: Day upending off the far left and the radical left 1050 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,840 Speaker 1: who did nothing but attack me. And do you know 1051 01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,520 Speaker 1: whether they're calling me a baby killer or a Trump 1052 01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:20,720 Speaker 1: boot liquor all because I said it's an honor to 1053 01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:25,479 Speaker 1: receive the President's endorsement. You know, Um, that's been tough. 1054 01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 1: But I've I've always known that that politics, Hey, it's 1055 01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:32,040 Speaker 1: a contact sport. I've always said that politics's war, just 1056 01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:35,320 Speaker 1: without the bullets. And you know, I've taken real life 1057 01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:39,040 Speaker 1: black in Afghanistan and I can take this too. So Sean, 1058 01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,560 Speaker 1: what do you have to do to win against against 1059 01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 1: Connor Lamb? I mean, who who? There's just I think 1060 01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,360 Speaker 1: it's interesting for folks to hear because, as you said, 1061 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,040 Speaker 1: we've known each other now almost almost a decade. Uh 1062 01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,200 Speaker 1: And and just going going back here a bit, I'm wondering, 1063 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,760 Speaker 1: you know where we're folk. We're going to be following 1064 01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 1: your your election very closely because you're a friend of 1065 01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:01,280 Speaker 1: the show. What has to happen for you to be 1066 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:04,440 Speaker 1: in a position to be the next Congressman from Pennsylvania seventeenth. Like, 1067 01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:05,720 Speaker 1: who do you have to win? Who do you have 1068 01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,800 Speaker 1: to reach out to? Yeah, it's a great question. Let 1069 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,080 Speaker 1: me first answer it by giving some context on this district. So, 1070 01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania seventeen is the biggest swing district in the country. 1071 01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:19,600 Speaker 1: It's in western Pennsylvania. It's a district that President Trump 1072 01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,760 Speaker 1: won in two thousand and sixteen. It's a district that 1073 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,480 Speaker 1: Pat two me also won. My Republican senator here in 1074 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,160 Speaker 1: the state of Pennsylvania also won. So two very different 1075 01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:32,120 Speaker 1: Republicans have both been victorious in this district, and now 1076 01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:34,800 Speaker 1: we have a Democrat in this seat. So what it 1077 01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:38,160 Speaker 1: boils down to is this that President Trump wins Pennsylvania 1078 01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:41,240 Speaker 1: seventeen like he did in two thousand and sixteen. President 1079 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,440 Speaker 1: Trump will win the state of Pennsylvania, and that is 1080 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,800 Speaker 1: the fastest, most expeditious way to get him back into 1081 01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:51,440 Speaker 1: the White House. Right, if wins PA seventeen, he wins Pennsylvania. 1082 01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,880 Speaker 1: President Trump's back in the White House. If I win 1083 01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:57,800 Speaker 1: PA seventeen, the likelihood of Republican taking back the House 1084 01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:02,080 Speaker 1: of Representatives is extraordinarily high, and so so many I've 1085 01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:05,160 Speaker 1: had the vice president a month after I've gotten this 1086 01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,600 Speaker 1: in this race, come to PA seventeen and tell me 1087 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the battleground for twenty twenty will be waged 1088 01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,640 Speaker 1: for the war for twenty twenty will be waged here 1089 01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:16,200 Speaker 1: in PA seventeen. Ted Cruz also came and spoke at 1090 01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,880 Speaker 1: the Allianting County dinner and said the exact same thing. 1091 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 1: So in order for me to win this district, my 1092 01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:27,360 Speaker 1: strategy is just to tell the truth. You know, Connor 1093 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,880 Speaker 1: Lamb is the kind of guy my opponent is the 1094 01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,120 Speaker 1: kind of politician that says one thing in district that 1095 01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,600 Speaker 1: he thinks everybody will want to hear, that he thinks 1096 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,680 Speaker 1: will earn or whatever he says get some votes. He 1097 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:42,120 Speaker 1: says one thing in district and does something very very 1098 01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:45,040 Speaker 1: different from Washington. You know, his thing is I'm a 1099 01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,920 Speaker 1: moderate independent person. Oh you know, I'm going to support 1100 01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:50,040 Speaker 1: the president. But the reality is he voted doing piece 1101 01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,080 Speaker 1: the president on both accounts. His first ad was carrying 1102 01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,560 Speaker 1: an AAR fifteen and said, I love the Second Amendment. 1103 01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm a Marine, I'm always going to protect your Second Amendment. Right. Well, 1104 01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,560 Speaker 1: guess what Buck is f rating from the NRA. This 1105 01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,720 Speaker 1: is a guy that traveled all around the district and 1106 01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:05,800 Speaker 1: said that he was pro life. In fact, I still 1107 01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:07,760 Speaker 1: talk to Democrats and Republicans to say, what you know, 1108 01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,600 Speaker 1: Connor Lamb's pro life. No, he voted against the Burn 1109 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,760 Speaker 1: Alive Act twice, right, which is the most radical piece 1110 01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,520 Speaker 1: of pro pro choice legislation ever. I don't even think 1111 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,240 Speaker 1: that's a debate between pro life and pro choice. That's 1112 01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:22,640 Speaker 1: a pro murder vote. You know. This is a guy 1113 01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,200 Speaker 1: that said he was going to oppose Nancy Pelosi, and 1114 01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:29,720 Speaker 1: while Pelosi did give him permission to not vote for 1115 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,600 Speaker 1: her as speaker, since that vote, he's voted with her 1116 01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:34,640 Speaker 1: over ninety percent at the time, but at lockstep with 1117 01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:36,240 Speaker 1: her ever since. So in order for me to be 1118 01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:39,800 Speaker 1: a victorious I'm just trying to show the people that 1119 01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,400 Speaker 1: he said one thing to you to your face to 1120 01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,800 Speaker 1: win and does another thing. In Washington. He represents the 1121 01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,000 Speaker 1: most radical elements of his party. He even votes with 1122 01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,520 Speaker 1: people like Ilhan Omar over ninety percent at the time. 1123 01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,400 Speaker 1: You can't say that you're moderate and have a voting 1124 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:56,360 Speaker 1: record like that. So in order for me to win, 1125 01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,560 Speaker 1: I've got to get that message out. And so that means, 1126 01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:01,560 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people don't understand Buck. It's 1127 01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:04,360 Speaker 1: like fundraising. You know, you you've always heard the cliche, 1128 01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,480 Speaker 1: you know, campaigns and when the money runs out, Well 1129 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:11,360 Speaker 1: that's that's because the lifeblood of campaign is money raised 1130 01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:14,600 Speaker 1: and contributed from the great citizens of this country and 1131 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:16,720 Speaker 1: in the state of Pennsylvania. And right now we are 1132 01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:20,880 Speaker 1: solely focused on fundraising in Q two. And look, man, 1133 01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,200 Speaker 1: we are we are. We are about to seize the 1134 01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 1: initiative on the political battlefield of our speaking of battlefield terms, 1135 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:30,600 Speaker 1: so we're really optimistic about it.

Play clip two. I'm 1163 01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:06,320 Speaker 1: try to say that I have a record. I'm over 1164 01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:10,880 Speaker 1: forty years and that I'm going to beat Joe Biden. 1165 01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:16,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna beat Joe Biden. Yeah he is. Hey, look 1166 01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,920 Speaker 1: Biden versus Biden. Biden can't lose. The guy's brilliant. When 1167 01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:24,000 Speaker 1: you think about the strategy, brilliant strategy from Joe Biden, 1168 01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,800 Speaker 1: and this is the same guy who wants stared down. 1169 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:32,280 Speaker 1: Cornpop made it clear that Cornpop wasn't going to interfere 1170 01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:35,000 Speaker 1: with the sun getting on Biden's leg and tearing the 1171 01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:39,519 Speaker 1: hair blonde on his legs because you know, yeah, man Biden, 1172 01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,720 Speaker 1: it's now he does things, and now he's just say, hey, 1173 01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:44,559 Speaker 1: the kids want to touch the hair on my legs. 1174 01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,920 Speaker 1: It sounds creepy, but it's not because I'm Joe Biden. 1175 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:52,559 Speaker 1: It's weird. He also had this. He had this. He 1176 01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:57,000 Speaker 1: had dark sunglasses on over the weekend and of course 1177 01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:58,680 Speaker 1: wearing his face mask because now we know this has 1178 01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,959 Speaker 1: all become very political. Dark glasses on and then all black, 1179 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,439 Speaker 1: and I understand he was I think it was, you know, 1180 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:06,920 Speaker 1: at a Memorial Day situations. Perhaps he's wearing black for 1181 01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,439 Speaker 1: the color of mourning. But I'm just the optics of it. 1182 01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:12,439 Speaker 1: This photo going around to Biden where he's got these 1183 01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,400 Speaker 1: dark glasses and this totally black face mask covering on. 1184 01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:17,479 Speaker 1: I mean it looks like he used to be chasing 1185 01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:21,200 Speaker 1: Froto around Middle Earth on horseback in his maniacal search 1186 01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:24,040 Speaker 1: for the one ring to rule them all. You know, 1187 01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:26,280 Speaker 1: it's not a not a good look. Was not a 1188 01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:29,599 Speaker 1: good look for for Biden. But that's not that's not 1189 01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,200 Speaker 1: surprising at all. Um and and Trump, I think, is 1190 01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:35,880 Speaker 1: you look, Trump's gonna have a field day with the 1191 01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,600 Speaker 1: whole Biden situation. Is it really gonna matter all? How much? Know? 1192 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,960 Speaker 1: It's gonna entertain those of us who already think that 1193 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:45,000 Speaker 1: Biden's a buffoon, and the notion that he would do 1194 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,439 Speaker 1: such a better job than Trump is rooted in nothing 1195 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:52,200 Speaker 1: other than the the wishes of the left. But I 1196 01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:57,000 Speaker 1: would say that it's gonna it's gonna be fun for us, 1197 01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:59,200 Speaker 1: those of us who already know this about Biden. What 1198 01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,840 Speaker 1: Trump has a say about Here's Trump talking about Biden 1199 01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:05,879 Speaker 1: play clip twenty. What do you think is Joe Biden's 1200 01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:10,800 Speaker 1: strongest feature as a competitor in politics? Well? I would 1201 01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,679 Speaker 1: have said experience, but he doesn't really have experienced because 1202 01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,920 Speaker 1: I don't think he remembers what he did yesterday. So 1203 01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:18,639 Speaker 1: how is that experience? He's been there a long time. 1204 01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:28,479 Speaker 1: He was never known as a smart person. Okay, what 1205 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:30,559 Speaker 1: is his weakest point? I can't tell you. I mean, 1206 01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,040 Speaker 1: I'm really serious, He's got many. I could talk about 1207 01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:37,920 Speaker 1: weak points all day long. I never like this. Oh 1208 01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,439 Speaker 1: you'd say something nice about your opponent. I don't. I 1209 01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:41,880 Speaker 1: don't know, I don't. I don't feel like this is 1210 01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,240 Speaker 1: something that journalists need to do. But people do it. 1211 01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:48,720 Speaker 1: But he's his point about how Biden's experience seems less 1212 01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:51,840 Speaker 1: relevant considering it's not clear that Biden would even be 1213 01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:56,160 Speaker 1: able to draw upon his experience because he can't remember stuff. 1214 01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:59,360 Speaker 1: I can't remember what he did yesterday that I think 1215 01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:03,559 Speaker 1: is gonna that might land even beyond Trump voters. That 1216 01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:05,880 Speaker 1: might land with people that are thinking, we're really going 1217 01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:07,680 Speaker 1: to put this guy in charge. This is why the 1218 01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:11,400 Speaker 1: I think the savvy Democrats recognize that they may need 1219 01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:15,080 Speaker 1: a messaging strategy beyond look at how bad the economy is, 1220 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,639 Speaker 1: look at how many people died from COVID. It's all 1221 01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,200 Speaker 1: Trump's fault. They need They may need something more than that, 1222 01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:23,320 Speaker 1: because if COVID receides and the economy is on the upswing. 1223 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,840 Speaker 1: Why would people that are seeing that have experienced three 1224 01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:30,280 Speaker 1: great years with Trump and are already seeing the change 1225 01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,080 Speaker 1: back to those great years, those who you know vote 1226 01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,599 Speaker 1: on real economic issues, for example, why would they want 1227 01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:39,679 Speaker 1: to trust this this Biden buffoon? Oh because the media says, 1228 01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:42,400 Speaker 1: so that's not going to be good enough.

I think the answer, unfortunately, is yes. And 1234 01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:09,400 Speaker 1: we have some incidents that would certainly go in the 1235 01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:13,800 Speaker 1: in the evidence pile for that thesis. But to walk 1236 01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:15,400 Speaker 1: us through some of this and to talk to us 1237 01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:20,479 Speaker 1: what he sees going on.

He 1240 01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:32,120 Speaker 1: is a writer for Spectator USA. Chadwick, good sir, good 1241 01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:36,639 Speaker 1: to have you, hey, mister Sexton. How you doing. I'm good, Chadwick, 1242 01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,080 Speaker 1: So tell me this, my friend. Well, actually, let's first 1243 01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:41,960 Speaker 1: story I want people to hear no, no, you, you 1244 01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:48,000 Speaker 1: tell us the background story to the incident in Central 1245 01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:49,920 Speaker 1: Park here in Manhattan, not far at all from where 1246 01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,720 Speaker 1: I am right now, and then and then I'll play 1247 01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,519 Speaker 1: the audio so everybody can hear it. But what happened? 1248 01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,040 Speaker 1: What's with this viral video that everyone's calling kind of 1249 01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 1: the the ultimate Karen and in fact saying much uglier 1250 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,800 Speaker 1: stuff than that too, But what happened? It is the 1251 01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,559 Speaker 1: alternate Karen. It's not just one Karen. It's a story 1252 01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,760 Speaker 1: of a collision, a collision of Karen's and it just 1253 01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:13,519 Speaker 1: gets even deeper and uglier. So what happened is there 1254 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:16,519 Speaker 1: is this woman apparently with her dog off the leash 1255 01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,519 Speaker 1: in Central Park in an area called the Rambles, which 1256 01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,000 Speaker 1: is sort of a kind of bucolic wooded area of 1257 01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:26,040 Speaker 1: Central Park. And man comes up who says he's a 1258 01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:28,920 Speaker 1: birdwatcher and tells her to put her dog on a leash, 1259 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:33,080 Speaker 1: and some sort of confrontation ensues, and then he pulls 1260 01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:36,439 Speaker 1: out his camera and starts recording her reaction. So this 1261 01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:39,040 Speaker 1: man also then put on Facebook he sort of described 1262 01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:42,280 Speaker 1: what happened before he took his camera out, in which 1263 01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:44,360 Speaker 1: they got into a fight over the dog not being 1264 01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,439 Speaker 1: into on a leash, and then he said something like, well, 1265 01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:49,320 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna have to do take things into my 1266 01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:52,160 Speaker 1: own hands, and called the dog over to him and 1267 01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:55,360 Speaker 1: reached into his pocket for dog treats, which he said 1268 01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:58,519 Speaker 1: that he carries around with him for just this reason. 1269 01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:02,280 Speaker 1: And then she is gets on the phone to call 1270 01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,920 Speaker 1: the police, and she's really unhinged and shaking, and she 1271 01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:07,720 Speaker 1: grabs her dog, who's now on the leash, and the 1272 01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:11,120 Speaker 1: dog looks like it's choking, and then she says, I'm 1273 01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:13,599 Speaker 1: gonna tell the police that an African American man just 1274 01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:16,160 Speaker 1: threatened me, which she says twice. She made it racial 1275 01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:18,880 Speaker 1: for some reason, which is the main which is the 1276 01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:22,519 Speaker 1: main reason why this has now gone viral. And she 1277 01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:24,880 Speaker 1: has now since been UM. I don't know if she's 1278 01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,639 Speaker 1: fired yet, but she was put on leave from her job. 1279 01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:31,000 Speaker 1: She worked in finance, I believe, and she had and 1280 01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:34,559 Speaker 1: she had to voluntarily give up her dog to the home, 1281 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:36,679 Speaker 1: to the to the shelter where she rescued it from 1282 01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,960 Speaker 1: uh and UM. And then, of course, well all that 1283 01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:43,240 Speaker 1: happened because a bunch of Karen's on Twitter found out 1284 01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:46,080 Speaker 1: her identity. They mobbed her employer and then they had 1285 01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:51,240 Speaker 1: to respond. So it's really just a this sort of shaming, 1286 01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:54,360 Speaker 1: this public shaming, this cancel culture, this this pull out 1287 01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:57,360 Speaker 1: your cell phone and start recording a stranger every time 1288 01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,600 Speaker 1: you you get to get into a bad interaction with 1289 01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,760 Speaker 1: them and hope that it ruins their life. Is uh, 1290 01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,519 Speaker 1: we've been this in this um in this state as 1291 01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,920 Speaker 1: a country for many many years now. Um. You know 1292 01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:13,639 Speaker 1: there was a woman named Justine Sako. Do you recall 1293 01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,800 Speaker 1: that case? Was I do? That was on the plane? Right? 1294 01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:18,519 Speaker 1: That was that was a tweet that ruined her life. Right, 1295 01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 1: that was the woman who was flying to South Africa 1296 01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:24,000 Speaker 1: and had a layover in London and said on Twitter 1297 01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,280 Speaker 1: going to South Africa, I hope I don't get AIDS, 1298 01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:30,120 Speaker 1: just kidding, I'm white. And then she waits, she lands 1299 01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:31,960 Speaker 1: eight hours later or whatever, and she's the number one 1300 01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,799 Speaker 1: trending topic in the world, and you know, her excuse 1301 01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,599 Speaker 1: was she's making a joke about like her white privilege 1302 01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:39,240 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. But of course, you know this 1303 01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:42,439 Speaker 1: mob had had jumped on her. Um. That was really 1304 01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,360 Speaker 1: kind of the first big case of this culture. And 1305 01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,720 Speaker 1: it hasn't disappeared. Yeah, so so let's let's play for 1306 01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:52,360 Speaker 1: the audience the audio and those who're watching on Pluto 1307 01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:56,439 Speaker 1: TV can see the video of this incident in the park. 1308 01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,439 Speaker 1: Woman had her dog off. This is what we're told. 1309 01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:00,760 Speaker 1: At least woman had her dog off the league in 1310 01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:04,719 Speaker 1: advance of the video being made. So she she freaks out. 1311 01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:07,519 Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I called that. She freaks out, and 1312 01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:12,400 Speaker 1: she says, hey, you know I you know, she calls 1313 01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:14,880 Speaker 1: the police. She mentions, you know, an African American man 1314 01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:20,600 Speaker 1: is threatening me twice. Now, I'm gonna say this clearly, Chadwick, bizarre, 1315 01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:25,520 Speaker 1: weirdly racist thing for her to say under the circumstances unacceptable, 1316 01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 1: fair enough. I also would say, as somebody who has 1317 01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,439 Speaker 1: been entrusted with my family dog for two months, that 1318 01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,760 Speaker 1: if a stranger of any kind, any background, doesn't matter, 1319 01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:38,360 Speaker 1: a stranger called my dog over in any kind of 1320 01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,000 Speaker 1: a threatening fashion and was reaching into his pocket to 1321 01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:45,160 Speaker 1: feed it without my permission or consent, I would have 1322 01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,800 Speaker 1: things would actually escalate and get very ugly, very quickly. 1323 01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:49,479 Speaker 1: I don't know who this person. I don't know what 1324 01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:51,920 Speaker 1: they're feed. Maybe they're feeding my dog rat poison, right, 1325 01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:54,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, especially when you've had a tense encounter 1326 01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:59,120 Speaker 1: to your point about how you know that's a weird 1327 01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:02,799 Speaker 1: that's a weird move. Not does not justify her weird 1328 01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,639 Speaker 1: moves after it. But I feel like that hasn't gotten 1329 01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,800 Speaker 1: any as as somebody who's got a dog and as 1330 01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,080 Speaker 1: a dog, as someone who loves dogs. I don't think 1331 01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 1: you call over someone else's dog and say, just wait 1332 01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:14,960 Speaker 1: till you see what I'm gonna do to it. That's 1333 01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:18,759 Speaker 1: very weird. Yeah, it was really strange, really really threatening, 1334 01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:20,720 Speaker 1: and you're right that the back she brought race into 1335 01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:23,479 Speaker 1: it was just bizarre. But she, I mean, what did 1336 01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,800 Speaker 1: she expect it? If she says African American, then a 1337 01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:29,880 Speaker 1: swat team's gonna parachute in, you know that that's this 1338 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,080 Speaker 1: is This is where where it gets ugly. Where it 1339 01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:34,880 Speaker 1: gets ugly on her part as it seems like she's saying, oh, 1340 01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,800 Speaker 1: I'm being threatened by an African American man, you know, 1341 01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:40,479 Speaker 1: as if the NYPD then it's gonna you know, deploy 1342 01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:43,559 Speaker 1: you know, smoke grenades and the swat team right away. 1343 01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:46,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it was ugly. That's ugly. What that 1344 01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:48,920 Speaker 1: was the part of it where she or the public. 1345 01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:50,840 Speaker 1: But I gotta say the part before that, I like, 1346 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:52,880 Speaker 1: it's not like this guy was mining his own business 1347 01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:55,280 Speaker 1: and being normal. Like what he did was weird too. 1348 01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 1: But then to your point also about the cancel culture 1349 01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,320 Speaker 1: part of this, this woman is now I mean, at 1350 01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,760 Speaker 1: least across the United States famous. I mean, she will 1351 01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:05,439 Speaker 1: be known on the internet probably forever for this one 1352 01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:09,240 Speaker 1: incident and not a good plight is ruined and she Yeah, 1353 01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:12,479 Speaker 1: the weirdly racist stuff is so uncomfortable an awful way. 1354 01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:14,120 Speaker 1: I mean. And also I mean, I'm gonna go out 1355 01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:15,920 Speaker 1: on a limb here. I don't know for sure, but 1356 01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna imagine that maybe she cried an election night 1357 01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:21,160 Speaker 1: when Hillary lost. You know, I'm gonna like think that 1358 01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:23,720 Speaker 1: maybe she's not like a big Republican yep. You know, 1359 01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:26,840 Speaker 1: it's like I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna guess that, 1360 01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:29,960 Speaker 1: you know, Manhattan woman, career woman out with their dog, 1361 01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:33,800 Speaker 1: you know. Um, So it's it's really strange. But the 1362 01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:37,600 Speaker 1: bigger pictures, I'm she's who knows what she meant by that? 1363 01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:40,240 Speaker 1: If she was maybe I don't know, but it's almost 1364 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:43,439 Speaker 1: I think the bigger story is still this cancel culture 1365 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:45,479 Speaker 1: and this this is shame. There there are no good 1366 01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,640 Speaker 1: people in this story, you know. And it's like, but 1367 01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:51,120 Speaker 1: one person's life has been ruined, I imagine another one 1368 01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:53,280 Speaker 1: is getting all sorts of sympathy because of the racist 1369 01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:56,599 Speaker 1: attack from a white woman and uh it's um it's 1370 01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:58,599 Speaker 1: just such an ugly culture. And just when you think 1371 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:00,720 Speaker 1: that it might kind of be going way, something like 1372 01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,479 Speaker 1: this happens and we're reminded that this is so very 1373 01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:06,160 Speaker 1: much where we live. You know. Um, I imagine that 1374 01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:09,280 Speaker 1: that journalism professors across the country or telling their students, 1375 01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:12,240 Speaker 1: you know, that that that that they should be recording everything. 1376 01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:14,200 Speaker 1: Always have your phone out, always be trying to catch 1377 01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:16,200 Speaker 1: someone doing something. You know, you've got this device in 1378 01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:18,760 Speaker 1: your pocket, that it's very powerful, and indeed it is 1379 01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:21,840 Speaker 1: very powerful. I mean, this woman's life is now destroyed 1380 01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:25,080 Speaker 1: all because of this encounter, which which we didn't even 1381 01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:29,120 Speaker 1: see the entire uh interaction and um yeah, the man 1382 01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:32,160 Speaker 1: saying that he carries dog treats around just for this 1383 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,120 Speaker 1: specific kind of like what did he plan to do? 1384 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,040 Speaker 1: I don't I don't understand. And so you're in the 1385 01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:41,040 Speaker 1: park just to um what catch people who don't have 1386 01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:44,679 Speaker 1: their dogs on leashes. It's just someone walks around people 1387 01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,040 Speaker 1: looking for people that have their dog off the leash 1388 01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:49,080 Speaker 1: so they can call them away from you with a 1389 01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:52,839 Speaker 1: dog treat. Um that that would on that's a weirdo 1390 01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,599 Speaker 1: move and that would unnerve me. That's that's a strange 1391 01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:57,760 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, this way, I feel like if your 1392 01:19:57,840 --> 01:19:59,760 Speaker 1: kid ran too far ahead of you in the park 1393 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,600 Speaker 1: and someone was standing there with an ice cream sandwich saying, oh, like, 1394 01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:04,400 Speaker 1: it looks like I'm in charge of the kid now, 1395 01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:07,280 Speaker 1: everybody would understandably completely freak out. I know this is 1396 01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:09,559 Speaker 1: a dog, not a human being we're talking about, but 1397 01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:11,720 Speaker 1: it's kind of a It's still a weird move, right 1398 01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:14,680 Speaker 1: Like you wouldn't give someone's kid something because they got 1399 01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:16,519 Speaker 1: too far ahead of them of the mom or the dad. 1400 01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,800 Speaker 1: You wouldn't give them like a treat without asking the parent. 1401 01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,280 Speaker 1: You don't. You don't feed someone's dog and bring them 1402 01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,559 Speaker 1: away from the owner. That's not cool at all. So 1403 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:25,920 Speaker 1: I I mean, I'm just saying, but again, yeah, you know, 1404 01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:27,679 Speaker 1: the moment, the moment you started acting like a racist 1405 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:29,720 Speaker 1: weirdo as a woman did now and now you're now 1406 01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,920 Speaker 1: you know your life is basically in a very tough, 1407 01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:34,800 Speaker 1: very tough spot. But I want to get to the 1408 01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:37,519 Speaker 1: other and this got less attention. But I thought, in 1409 01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:40,360 Speaker 1: some ways, you know, there's a whole there's a whole 1410 01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:43,200 Speaker 1: other layer of speaking of Chadwick more. He is a 1411 01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:45,559 Speaker 1: commiss respect the or USA. He lives in Brooklyn. He's 1412 01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:48,400 Speaker 1: like me, he's here in New York. But Chadwick. This 1413 01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:52,680 Speaker 1: this Canadian broadcast television on the news, they're doing some 1414 01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:56,920 Speaker 1: interviews about mask wearing. And here's what ended up happening. 1415 01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,840 Speaker 1: A young guy goes up to a woman who's being 1416 01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:02,360 Speaker 1: interviewed and you know, gives her up, gives her a 1417 01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:06,040 Speaker 1: big kiss on Canadian broadcast TV as they're talking about 1418 01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:09,040 Speaker 1: mask wearing and COVID. Here's here's how that went place. Sixteen. 1419 01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:14,800 Speaker 1: I feel as if mass are not one hundred percent important. Um. 1420 01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:21,479 Speaker 1: I feel as if a spontaneous kiss from someone that 1421 01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 1: she doesn't know. Oh my god, no, I met him 1422 01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:33,639 Speaker 1: for a second with my dog. That's insane. All right, Yeah, 1423 01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:39,400 Speaker 1: he's having milk just minutes earlier. Okay, I mean that 1424 01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:42,439 Speaker 1: that's all he really so so Chadwick. I love this 1425 01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:47,439 Speaker 1: because any normal person would go, hey, they had talked 1426 01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:50,040 Speaker 1: a little bit before she's in this interview. This guy, 1427 01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:53,120 Speaker 1: this guy makes a move and in case it's not 1428 01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,559 Speaker 1: clear enough, I mean, look, you know, if a woman 1429 01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,080 Speaker 1: doesn't want to give you, there's a whole lot of 1430 01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,240 Speaker 1: ways that you know, she can she can make that 1431 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:02,920 Speaker 1: clear m But you know she she's like blushing and 1432 01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:06,160 Speaker 1: goes ooh he's hot. Okay, that is that is not 1433 01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:09,960 Speaker 1: the response of somebody who feels violated or all. This 1434 01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:14,280 Speaker 1: is terrible and immediately because God Canada that all, oh yeah, 1435 01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:16,439 Speaker 1: we're all like male feminists, like the Prime minister, at 1436 01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:18,759 Speaker 1: least the Libs in Canada. I love my conservative Canadians, 1437 01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,400 Speaker 1: but the Libs in Canada have lost their minds with Trudeau. 1438 01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:24,200 Speaker 1: The male feminist, a male feminist with a history of 1439 01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:27,880 Speaker 1: wearing black face. I would note, but you know, here 1440 01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:30,280 Speaker 1: in and we're just like okay with this. For some reason, 1441 01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:31,600 Speaker 1: we're not okay with it. But they, you know, they 1442 01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,080 Speaker 1: move past it so quickly. Uh and here it is, 1443 01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,519 Speaker 1: and you know what, they start talking about sexual assault 1444 01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,160 Speaker 1: Chadwick right away, right that that's the that's the leap 1445 01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:44,240 Speaker 1: they make because it drives them insane. How incredibly charming 1446 01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:47,520 Speaker 1: and sweet it was, and the girl is so smitten afterwards, 1447 01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,479 Speaker 1: and um, I mean, wow, it's And it's also political 1448 01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,639 Speaker 1: right now, isn't it, because you know, masks have become 1449 01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:55,320 Speaker 1: such a political hot button issue. This this whole idea 1450 01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:57,800 Speaker 1: of you know, being afraid of your neighbor and staying 1451 01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,760 Speaker 1: away from strangers and everyone's gonna get you say, And 1452 01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,599 Speaker 1: here you have a guy coming up and just kissing 1453 01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:08,120 Speaker 1: a relative stranger and it was really sweet and charming. 1454 01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,040 Speaker 1: I think that people really needed to see that. I 1455 01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,599 Speaker 1: think that's why it's also gone viral. We're so sick 1456 01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:15,320 Speaker 1: of being isolated and being told that our neighbors are 1457 01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:18,080 Speaker 1: going to kill us with some invisible bug. And yet 1458 01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:21,839 Speaker 1: of course the left has to jump on this idea 1459 01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:25,040 Speaker 1: about consent, and well, you know, maybe this just proved 1460 01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:28,320 Speaker 1: this woman appears to be completely swept off her feet 1461 01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:31,160 Speaker 1: and utterly charmed, and maybe that just proves us an 1462 01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:35,519 Speaker 1: entire puritanical consent culture where you need a six page 1463 01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:40,280 Speaker 1: signed document before you hold someone's hand. Is people are 1464 01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:43,040 Speaker 1: over it, and people like these kind of more traditional, 1465 01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:47,000 Speaker 1: sort of valiant acts, these very a very sort of 1466 01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:51,840 Speaker 1: romantic spur of the moment act. And you know, that's 1467 01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:55,400 Speaker 1: makes it a nicer place for all. I just I 1468 01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:59,679 Speaker 1: also the ver very serious broadcaster who came up later 1469 01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:02,040 Speaker 1: on can know the doing the whole sort of broadcaster 1470 01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:06,599 Speaker 1: being super intense thing on CTV. Not only I mean 1471 01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:09,519 Speaker 1: not only were there was there immediately, Oh are you okay? Good? Heavens, 1472 01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:11,240 Speaker 1: a guy you think is hot just gave you a 1473 01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:14,240 Speaker 1: kiss and you're like swooning. She was like swooning. I 1474 01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:16,320 Speaker 1: mean she was gonna, oh, you know, yeah, it was 1475 01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,240 Speaker 1: really cute. Obviously, any normal person understands. And also any 1476 01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:22,080 Speaker 1: normal person knows that somebody who's been flirting with someone, 1477 01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,559 Speaker 1: you know, and then that person that they think is 1478 01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:28,160 Speaker 1: really attractive comes up and kisses them. This is like 1479 01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:30,759 Speaker 1: not a people dream about this. Guys, there's not a problem. 1480 01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:35,320 Speaker 1: But but CTV then goes you Canadian TV then has 1481 01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:37,200 Speaker 1: to do this. Oh, not only are they worried about 1482 01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:40,799 Speaker 1: the consent aspect of it, they're sorry even for airing 1483 01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:44,880 Speaker 1: it on TV. Play seventeen follow up on a story 1484 01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,439 Speaker 1: that aired last night on CTV News at eleven thirty 1485 01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:50,439 Speaker 1: and a story on social distancing. We included an interview 1486 01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:52,880 Speaker 1: with a woman in a park. During the interview, a 1487 01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:55,200 Speaker 1: stranger came up to the woman and kissed her directly 1488 01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:58,000 Speaker 1: on the lips. Our story then focused on the dangers 1489 01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,560 Speaker 1: of kissing a stranger on the lips during a pandemic. 1490 01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,880 Speaker 1: It was wrong to air this video. The video demonstrated 1491 01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:07,439 Speaker 1: non constantual behavior and downplay the fact that what occurred 1492 01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:10,960 Speaker 1: was simply unacceptable and offensive. It does not meet CTV 1493 01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:15,679 Speaker 1: News editorial standards, and we apologize. I mean, Chadwick, this 1494 01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:19,720 Speaker 1: guy is saying it didn't meet our editorial standards. It 1495 01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:25,320 Speaker 1: was unacceptable to air this kiss, clearly airing unacceptable behavior. 1496 01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:29,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they're like, what is wrong with these people? 1497 01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:31,840 Speaker 1: Were none of them ever like in high school or 1498 01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:35,280 Speaker 1: college dating? Have none of them ever like actually enjoyed 1499 01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:38,160 Speaker 1: a moment in life without wondering what the skulls the 1500 01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:41,880 Speaker 1: Karens on Twitter are going to say? Exactly, Yeah, And 1501 01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:44,080 Speaker 1: you know, Twitter is such an outside Twitter is not 1502 01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:46,280 Speaker 1: real life. This is what, especially if these companies need 1503 01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,080 Speaker 1: to realize, is that if you have a mob of 1504 01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:50,400 Speaker 1: Karen's coming after you on Twitter, that's not real life. 1505 01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:52,439 Speaker 1: The vast majority of people who just watched that probably 1506 01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:55,160 Speaker 1: at home on their television. We're probably really delighted by it, 1507 01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:57,760 Speaker 1: but then you know you've got the most. This is 1508 01:25:57,760 --> 01:25:59,880 Speaker 1: always the case, right, you know, the sort of the 1509 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,240 Speaker 1: very tiny percent of the most unhinged and outraged and 1510 01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:06,760 Speaker 1: and unstable people who are typically tend to be left 1511 01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:11,360 Speaker 1: wing activists grab the microphone and they bully and intimidate, 1512 01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:14,680 Speaker 1: and these companies and in this case a news organization 1513 01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:18,000 Speaker 1: into um, you know, being clutching their pearls and have 1514 01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,639 Speaker 1: to issue an apology or you know, maybe people inside 1515 01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:23,519 Speaker 1: the news organization, some miserable person and human resources or 1516 01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,400 Speaker 1: what have you, some miserable, lonely person who wishes that 1517 01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,400 Speaker 1: she was that girl, but you know he can't have it, 1518 01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:32,360 Speaker 1: so UM has to to try to ruin everyone else 1519 01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:35,040 Speaker 1: as a joy and delight in that sweet little moment. 1520 01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:37,840 Speaker 1: You know, we wek You know a lot of people 1521 01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:39,960 Speaker 1: could use just a little more levity these days, but 1522 01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:43,840 Speaker 1: not on Canadian TV. There are news editorial state anyway, 1523 01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:47,400 Speaker 1: Chadwick who are making making the nonsensical make sense.

Thanks again, you're in the Freedom Hid. 1528 01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:08,720 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. What's going to 1529 01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:11,679 Speaker 1: happen in New Jersey if you can't get more federal dollars. Yeah. 1530 01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:13,880 Speaker 1: I haven't taken my cues ever from Rick Scott, so 1531 01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:16,160 Speaker 1: I won't start now. But I thought Kevin was reasonable. 1532 01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:18,400 Speaker 1: But on this one, I have to say I'm gonna 1533 01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:21,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say time out. This is not abstract. We 1534 01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:23,760 Speaker 1: don't need to do a data crunch. We don't do 1535 01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:26,720 Speaker 1: an analysis. We announced a budget on Friday for the 1536 01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:29,759 Speaker 1: next four months and we had to cut or defer 1537 01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:35,000 Speaker 1: over five billion dollars of expenditures. And this includes potentially 1538 01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:40,280 Speaker 1: laying off educators, firefighters, police ems, healthcare workers. This is 1539 01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:43,200 Speaker 1: not abstract. This is real. It's not a Blue state issue. 1540 01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:47,040 Speaker 1: It's an American issue. It's not a legacy. You guys 1541 01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:50,400 Speaker 1: didn't manage yourselves in the past. Better That has nothing 1542 01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:52,840 Speaker 1: to do with this. This is about keeping those front 1543 01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:58,000 Speaker 1: those varying frontline workers in their jobs, doing the heroic 1544 01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:01,599 Speaker 1: work they're doing at our of need in the biggest 1545 01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:04,439 Speaker 1: healthcare crisis in the history of our country, the biggest 1546 01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:07,040 Speaker 1: economic crisis of the history of our country. The last 1547 01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:09,120 Speaker 1: thing we need to do is to lay any of 1548 01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:12,440 Speaker 1: those folks off and increase the unemployment rate and underserve 1549 01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:15,240 Speaker 1: our residents. So we need it. And it's not just 1550 01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:18,559 Speaker 1: New Jersey. It's not just blue states. It's American states 1551 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:21,559 Speaker 1: up and down the country. Government New Jersey, they're saying, 1552 01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:23,439 Speaker 1: you got to have a federal bailout for the states, 1553 01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:27,800 Speaker 1: for all these different states. Okay, well guess what here 1554 01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:30,879 Speaker 1: is the opening. Here is what we need to establish. 1555 01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:32,880 Speaker 1: As I've been telling you that the politics of this 1556 01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,320 Speaker 1: need to be taken into account because the left is 1557 01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:38,320 Speaker 1: playing politics with these shutdowns. They're taking too long, they're 1558 01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:40,400 Speaker 1: not looking at the data and the science as much 1559 01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,000 Speaker 1: as they pretend to. If you're going to get federal 1560 01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:45,240 Speaker 1: bailout dollars for your state, I think the federal government 1561 01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:48,240 Speaker 1: should say we expect that, you know, everyone will. And 1562 01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:49,680 Speaker 1: now I don't know if they're willing to do this. 1563 01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:52,240 Speaker 1: I know the CDC still has a little too much 1564 01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:54,320 Speaker 1: of a grip even on this White House. It worries 1565 01:28:54,360 --> 01:29:00,880 Speaker 1: me sometimes doctor Fauci. Everybody's listening to Fauci. Hey, you know, 1566 01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:03,080 Speaker 1: I think that we got to make sure the mitigation 1567 01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:07,120 Speaker 1: efforts are gonna be clear going forward. All right, you 1568 01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:09,559 Speaker 1: know we've we've heard it. We've heard enough of fauci, 1569 01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:11,560 Speaker 1: I gotta wash my hands. And other than that, we 1570 01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:13,760 Speaker 1: don't really know anything great or wear a mask now 1571 01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:17,160 Speaker 1: they weren't sure originally. Social distance. That's all we really know. Okay, 1572 01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:22,040 Speaker 1: maybe if you're gonna demand these bailouts from the federal government, 1573 01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:24,680 Speaker 1: federal government should should I'm not saying will step in 1574 01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:27,320 Speaker 1: and say everyone's open by fourth of July weekend, come 1575 01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:30,280 Speaker 1: hell or high water, that's what should happen. Everyone open 1576 01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:35,000 Speaker 1: back to normal. How about that? I think federal government's 1577 01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:37,280 Speaker 1: got a lot of leverage here, folks might as well 1578 01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:40,559 Speaker 1: use it somehow.

So that that 1604 01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:24,519 Speaker 1: was pretty much the highlight of the weekend. Other than that, 1605 01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:26,280 Speaker 1: I don't even think what did I watch this weekend? 1606 01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:28,519 Speaker 1: We're watching a lot of billions these days.

So that was that was pretty 1615 01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:50,720 Speaker 1: much it, and went for some long walks.

Yes, and uh no, Dice cannot go. 1620 01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:10,519 Speaker 1: No luck lockdown because of too many people. They wouldn't 1621 01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:13,280 Speaker 1: let cars in because they were so packed. It's not 1622 01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:14,840 Speaker 1: exactly what you think of when you're talking about a 1623 01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:16,720 Speaker 1: trail walk, right, but no, there too many people on 1624 01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:19,080 Speaker 1: the trail. Yeah, they were doing that at beaches too, 1625 01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:21,679 Speaker 1: but I think that happens just even if they weren't 1626 01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:25,040 Speaker 1: doing reduced capacity. That would happen on Memorial Day weekend. Anyway. 1627 01:32:25,720 --> 01:32:27,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it beaches, but I feel like fair Mountain will, 1628 01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:30,400 Speaker 1: I guess anyway. Also, I don't like I don't like 1629 01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:31,640 Speaker 1: to be in places like that when there are too 1630 01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:35,400 Speaker 1: many people. So anyway, it is what it is. So 1631 01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:37,439 Speaker 1: I'm glad. You're glad you're ready and back in the fight. 1632 01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:39,599 Speaker 1: We got a busy week this week, Producer Mark, So 1633 01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:42,280 Speaker 1: bring your a game.

Well, I'm just saying there's a good 1644 01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:19,519 Speaker 1: good shot it gets in the pile. Brad kicks us 1645 01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:22,120 Speaker 1: off here, Dear Buck. I wrote about a month ago 1646 01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:24,360 Speaker 1: on the status of Alaska during this pandemic, so I 1647 01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:26,920 Speaker 1: thought i'd write back with an update. As of this 1648 01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:30,400 Speaker 1: coming Friday, the state of Alaska is open for business. 1649 01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:32,840 Speaker 1: The Mayor of Anchorage has decided to take a little 1650 01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:37,240 Speaker 1: more conservative approach, but bars, restaurants, churches, libraries, and museums 1651 01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:40,240 Speaker 1: are allowed to operate at one hundred percent per the 1652 01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:44,519 Speaker 1: Governor's office. As for COVID nineteen status, Alaska just went 1653 01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:47,519 Speaker 1: over the four hundred mark for positive cases and has 1654 01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:50,639 Speaker 1: held at ten fatality since May sixth. It's not hard 1655 01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:52,879 Speaker 1: to tell that things are getting back to some semblance 1656 01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:56,759 Speaker 1: of normalcy just by viewing the traffic on the highways shields. Ye. Well, Brad, 1657 01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:01,080 Speaker 1: God bless and I'm so glad that I'll Alaska a 1658 01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:03,679 Speaker 1: beautiful state. I mean really one of the most parts 1659 01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:06,400 Speaker 1: of Alaska, some of the most gorgeous places I've ever seen. 1660 01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:09,240 Speaker 1: The natural beauty in Alaska is up there with anything 1661 01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:12,679 Speaker 1: you can find anywhere in the world. But I'm glad 1662 01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:14,680 Speaker 1: that Alaska's back in action. You can get yourself a 1663 01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:17,160 Speaker 1: good steak or burger, you know, and not have to 1664 01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:19,120 Speaker 1: go through all this nonsense. It's amazing when you think 1665 01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:21,800 Speaker 1: about that the whole state was shut down and only 1666 01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:26,679 Speaker 1: ten fatalities since May sixth. You know, I don't say 1667 01:34:26,720 --> 01:34:29,320 Speaker 1: this to be to be glib, but I'd be willing 1668 01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:32,360 Speaker 1: to bet that more people have died from falling downstairs 1669 01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:35,559 Speaker 1: or falling in the you know, falling in the shower 1670 01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:40,120 Speaker 1: since May sixth than have died from COVID nineteen. In fact, 1671 01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:43,519 Speaker 1: I think that's probably a pretty safe from accidents. I've 1672 01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:45,120 Speaker 1: got more people have died in the month of May 1673 01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:49,599 Speaker 1: in Alaska from accidents than have died from COVID nineteen. 1674 01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:52,599 Speaker 1: Although maybe we could not include some of the deep 1675 01:34:52,640 --> 01:34:55,080 Speaker 1: sea fishing stuff like from that show, because that stuff 1676 01:34:55,120 --> 01:34:59,200 Speaker 1: looks terrifying. I don't know how people do that. Yeah, 1677 01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:01,599 Speaker 1: you know, you know, the like the crab fisherman guys 1678 01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:04,080 Speaker 1: and all that stuff that they do. I've seen that 1679 01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:06,439 Speaker 1: that looks dangerous, how Yeah, because that's what I mean. 1680 01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:09,400 Speaker 1: That stuff does look dangerous. That does look looks intense. 1681 01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:13,280 Speaker 1: How much money producer Mark I have to pay you 1682 01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:15,280 Speaker 1: to spend I think they spend like six to eight 1683 01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:17,880 Speaker 1: weeks on some of those some of those ships, let's 1684 01:35:17,880 --> 01:35:21,200 Speaker 1: say eight weeks on a crab boat off the you know, 1685 01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 1: in the Bearing Sea. How much money really? Am I 1686 01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:28,439 Speaker 1: just on the boat or am I know you're on 1687 01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:31,599 Speaker 1: the deck, You're you're you're you're you're hocking crabs over 1688 01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:33,720 Speaker 1: the side, you're doing the whole thing. Oh, there's got 1689 01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:36,160 Speaker 1: to be at least seven figures in that bo that's right. 1690 01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:39,919 Speaker 1: Seven Except for me, it's a solid seven figures, solid 1691 01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:44,479 Speaker 1: probably we're talking like like MLP NBA player for a 1692 01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:46,160 Speaker 1: season kind of money for me to do that. No, 1693 01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:47,720 Speaker 1: So the guys who do it, I know, they get 1694 01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:50,360 Speaker 1: well paid. They make six figures, some of them, I believe, 1695 01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:52,479 Speaker 1: for that eight week hall, which is obviously really really 1696 01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:55,680 Speaker 1: good money. But they are in every they are in 1697 01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:57,479 Speaker 1: every petty man. I watched those shows and I'm like, 1698 01:35:57,520 --> 01:36:00,479 Speaker 1: oh gosh, you know, I sit there, I'm like eating 1699 01:36:00,479 --> 01:36:03,879 Speaker 1: my my warm chicken nuggets and and you know, drinking 1700 01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:06,080 Speaker 1: my ginger ale or whatever, and I'm watching these guy 1701 01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:09,479 Speaker 1: in my cupboard, in my snuggie, and I'm watching these 1702 01:36:09,520 --> 01:36:11,679 Speaker 1: guys out there in Alaska, you know, with these big 1703 01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:16,240 Speaker 1: crab pots or whatever, like, oh, looks cold, guys, looks cold. 1704 01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:18,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, it looks like we actually have a snuggie. 1705 01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:22,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I've got a I've got a blanket that 1706 01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:25,920 Speaker 1: functions like a snuggie. So you have a snuggie. No, no, no, 1707 01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:28,160 Speaker 1: it's it's not technically a snuggie, but it looks like 1708 01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:31,120 Speaker 1: a snugget. I mean, doesn't have armholes. No, no, I 1709 01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:32,519 Speaker 1: have to make the arm hole. So I guess it's 1710 01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:35,000 Speaker 1: just a blanket. But you know what I mean, Yeah, 1711 01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:39,280 Speaker 1: a normal thing, Sheldon Buck, Is it possibly for your 1712 01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:41,200 Speaker 1: Is it possible for your head to get any bigger? 1713 01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:43,400 Speaker 1: Asked to have a personal meeting with the leader of 1714 01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:46,439 Speaker 1: the free world? All joking aside, congratulations, I'm glad to 1715 01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:48,640 Speaker 1: see the President recognizes one of the bright minds in 1716 01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:52,240 Speaker 1: all of media, a well earned recognition. So when you're 1717 01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:54,759 Speaker 1: getting so, when are you getting your Presidential Medal of Freedom? 1718 01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:57,600 Speaker 1: Quick change of subject. I see all these protests and 1719 01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:01,000 Speaker 1: lawsuits in blue states to open up the account. Where 1720 01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:03,320 Speaker 1: are all the protests and lawsuits in red states to 1721 01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:06,479 Speaker 1: maintain the lockdown? If they think it's so important. Only 1722 01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:08,599 Speaker 1: places I see that argument is in the media, not 1723 01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:12,720 Speaker 1: from the citizens in these red states. Thanks. Uh, yeah, well, 1724 01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:14,720 Speaker 1: I think that they also would figure that in red 1725 01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:19,559 Speaker 1: states the judiciary is less likely to be activist with, 1726 01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:23,880 Speaker 1: you know, toward left wing ends. So that's what that's 1727 01:37:23,880 --> 01:37:26,479 Speaker 1: what I think you're that's probably a part of the 1728 01:37:26,560 --> 01:37:30,599 Speaker 1: dynamic that you're establishing here that you're you're talking about. Yeah, 1729 01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:32,559 Speaker 1: I mean blue states, Look, they should be open. This 1730 01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:36,000 Speaker 1: is wrong, very interesting you know today. Maybe I'll get 1731 01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:38,800 Speaker 1: into more of this tomorrow. But there was all this 1732 01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:41,519 Speaker 1: debate over oh Sweden, did Sweden do the right thing? 1733 01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:44,200 Speaker 1: That Sweden do the wrong thing? And people argue about 1734 01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:45,960 Speaker 1: this still. I mean, I think Sweden definitely did the 1735 01:37:46,040 --> 01:37:48,960 Speaker 1: right thing, even though there's been even as of last week, 1736 01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:51,599 Speaker 1: people are saying, oh, but they're per capita deaths. The 1737 01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:56,080 Speaker 1: health chief of Norway has said they could have can 1738 01:37:56,160 --> 01:38:01,680 Speaker 1: quote control infection without lockdown. This scientific backing for lockdown 1739 01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:05,040 Speaker 1: was not good enough, and Norway we went into lockdown. 1740 01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:07,000 Speaker 1: But the health chief is now saying, yeah, and we 1741 01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:10,759 Speaker 1: didn't have to do that. Someone someone paying her off? 1742 01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:13,840 Speaker 1: Is that a right wing conspiracy in Norway? The Health 1743 01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:15,880 Speaker 1: chief of Norway is now saying, and they had very 1744 01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:20,559 Speaker 1: very very few debts you know per capita from COVID nineteen, 1745 01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:23,320 Speaker 1: but they're saying that, you know, lockdown was not the 1746 01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:26,720 Speaker 1: way to go. Oh you mean that people now looking 1747 01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:29,120 Speaker 1: at the evidence who are experts, are coming to that conclusion. 1748 01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:32,080 Speaker 1: You'll never how think about what Fauci would have to say, 1749 01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:35,400 Speaker 1: what he'd have to admit. Yeah, we push for lockdowns 1750 01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:39,960 Speaker 1: which weren't necessary, which through thirty million plus people on 1751 01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:44,120 Speaker 1: out of their jobs, cost the economy trillions of dollars, 1752 01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:47,720 Speaker 1: and also put us all through hell being locked in 1753 01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:50,800 Speaker 1: our homes, not you know, wondering when we're able to 1754 01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:53,120 Speaker 1: see our relatives again, wondering what our future looks like. 1755 01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:54,880 Speaker 1: Are we going to have a future as a country, 1756 01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:59,000 Speaker 1: as an individual? Put us through all that, and now 1757 01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:03,599 Speaker 1: it seems like with very very weak backing and week 1758 01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:07,640 Speaker 1: maybe generous, he's never gonna no one whatever. Look, I 1759 01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:10,040 Speaker 1: actually don't blame him for this, no one whatever. Who's 1760 01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:12,439 Speaker 1: in that position that say, you know, we we took 1761 01:39:12,479 --> 01:39:16,320 Speaker 1: the mitigation, we had to do in the mitigation, so 1762 01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:21,280 Speaker 1: you know, this is the virus. It's spread, so we 1763 01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:27,719 Speaker 1: wanted to undo the spread. That's what you got, Michael Buck. 1764 01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:30,519 Speaker 1: So cool to hear you got called in by the 1765 01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:33,519 Speaker 1: big man. Feels like a close friend being recognized for 1766 01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:35,519 Speaker 1: his talents in the midst of tough times. It feels 1767 01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:36,760 Speaker 1: good to hear some of the big wins for the 1768 01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:40,040 Speaker 1: freedom hut shields high. Well, Michael, thank you so much. Yeah, 1769 01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:42,360 Speaker 1: I look, it was. It was really appreciated by me. 1770 01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:44,320 Speaker 1: I was great to get a chance to sit down 1771 01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:47,439 Speaker 1: to the present for that long and really enjoyed talking 1772 01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:52,639 Speaker 1: to him. John, one of my local supermarkets doesn't carry 1773 01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:55,479 Speaker 1: strawberry ice cream, so I need to travel further to 1774 01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:58,559 Speaker 1: get it, or during the pandemic switching another brand. Is 1775 01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:02,000 Speaker 1: this a conspiracy between in the illuminati? No, John, this 1776 01:40:02,080 --> 01:40:04,720 Speaker 1: is just the free market telling you that strawberry ice 1777 01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:10,840 Speaker 1: cream is the ice cream flavor that does not need 1778 01:40:10,880 --> 01:40:15,439 Speaker 1: to exist. Okay, you know, strawberry ice cream is like 1779 01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:18,400 Speaker 1: the Rhode Island of ice creams. Why isn't Rhode Island 1780 01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:20,800 Speaker 1: just a part of Connecticut or Massachusetts? I ask you. 1781 01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:23,200 Speaker 1: No one has a really good answer for that, do they. 1782 01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:28,080 Speaker 1: You know, maybe a strawberry swirl in chocolate or vanilla 1783 01:40:28,280 --> 01:40:33,400 Speaker 1: would make sense, but entirely strawberry flavored ice cream. We're 1784 01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:36,400 Speaker 1: civilized people. We don't need such things. So I'm sorry, John, 1785 01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:40,600 Speaker 1: you're on your own with this one. You're in the 1786 01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:44,160 Speaker 1: freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. 1787 01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:51,640 Speaker 1: All right, roll call continuing here, we have Dave or 1788 01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:54,200 Speaker 1: rights in.

Keep up the good work as usual. 1797 01:41:17,479 --> 01:41:19,600 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Dave. I really do appreciate that. 1798 01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:21,599 Speaker 1: That's very kind.

She is a witch. She said she 1819 01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:29,000 Speaker 1: is going to find the foreign plant in her state 1820 01:42:29,040 --> 01:42:32,360 Speaker 1: for social distancing violation when the president was there for 1821 01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:34,479 Speaker 1: not wearing his face mask the whole time.

Yes, that 1829 01:42:55,200 --> 01:42:58,360 Speaker 1: would be a professor Umbridge from I believe Harry Potter 1830 01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:01,680 Speaker 1: book number five, The Chamber of Secret. There we go. 1831 01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:04,559 Speaker 1: He's ready to go with it. Yeah. I still have 1832 01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:06,080 Speaker 1: people who try to convince me that I should read 1833 01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:07,960 Speaker 1: the Harry Potter books, even at this point in life. 1834 01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:11,000 Speaker 1: That's so good you should. Yeah. See, Producer Mark is 1835 01:43:11,040 --> 01:43:13,880 Speaker 1: one of them. Maybe I'll have to do it. Brad 1836 01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:17,759 Speaker 1: Hey Buck, I'm behind enemy lines in California and thinking 1837 01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:21,120 Speaker 1: about moving. They have shut down all state parks, no 1838 01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:24,240 Speaker 1: camping or beaches until late June, and it keeps getting 1839 01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:28,240 Speaker 1: pushed out. Also, our schools have been out since this 1840 01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:31,160 Speaker 1: all started, and my third grader has had minimal contact 1841 01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:33,599 Speaker 1: with her teacher. As a school fears they will lose 1842 01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:37,120 Speaker 1: funding if they teach outside of the guidelines. Now, with 1843 01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:39,800 Speaker 1: all the new CDC policies, the return in the fall 1844 01:43:39,920 --> 01:43:42,280 Speaker 1: is proposed to have two days a week at school 1845 01:43:42,640 --> 01:43:46,800 Speaker 1: and three days at home remote learning. Huh. My wife 1846 01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:48,439 Speaker 1: and I both work, and I've been out of work 1847 01:43:48,439 --> 01:43:51,160 Speaker 1: since March twelfth. If our kids don't go to school 1848 01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:53,439 Speaker 1: five days a week, we will be forced to pay 1849 01:43:53,479 --> 01:43:55,639 Speaker 1: for daycare of some sort, and we'll have to do 1850 01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:58,559 Speaker 1: the teacher's job after we get off work. Red States 1851 01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:01,640 Speaker 1: are looking more attractive by the day. Brad. Look, I 1852 01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:06,759 Speaker 1: was taking a peek over the weekend at just just 1853 01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:09,559 Speaker 1: just curious, just checking it out. I was looking at, Uh, 1854 01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:13,280 Speaker 1: what does what does a nice little you know, start 1855 01:44:13,280 --> 01:44:15,920 Speaker 1: our home go for in Austin, Texas these days? What 1856 01:44:16,040 --> 01:44:20,400 Speaker 1: does a nice little little place with some land in Charleston, 1857 01:44:20,760 --> 01:44:24,040 Speaker 1: South Carolina, or in Savannah, Georgia. What does it look 1858 01:44:24,080 --> 01:44:26,000 Speaker 1: like right now? Well? What kind of costs were talking 1859 01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:28,280 Speaker 1: about here? So I don't think you're alone, my friend. 1860 01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:31,559 Speaker 1: I'm here in New York, a lifelong New Yorker, and 1861 01:44:31,720 --> 01:44:34,439 Speaker 1: I've loved this place, even for all of its challenges 1862 01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:37,640 Speaker 1: and expense. But I think that this has pushed a 1863 01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:41,240 Speaker 1: lot of people too far in New York and in California, 1864 01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:42,720 Speaker 1: and now I always have to throw in Florida too, 1865 01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:45,000 Speaker 1: because I promised Producer Mark to Florida will be something 1866 01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:47,439 Speaker 1: we consider, you know. I just some of the Florida 1867 01:44:47,560 --> 01:44:49,840 Speaker 1: architecture is not as much my thing. That's that's the 1868 01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:52,640 Speaker 1: problem I have, Producer Mark. I get it. I just 1869 01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:56,240 Speaker 1: I like nice weather and no income tax. I can't 1870 01:44:56,280 --> 01:44:58,920 Speaker 1: argue with that. I can't argue with that. But you 1871 01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:01,479 Speaker 1: know a lot of red tiled loors in Florida, which 1872 01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:05,280 Speaker 1: is okay, I mean nothing you can change. Fuck, that's 1873 01:45:05,320 --> 01:45:09,840 Speaker 1: that's probably yeah, yeah, that's probably fair. I have to 1874 01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:12,000 Speaker 1: also become like a if I was close enough to 1875 01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:13,960 Speaker 1: the water. I like swimming at the beach, but I 1876 01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:17,160 Speaker 1: might have to become a boat guy too. That doesn't 1877 01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:19,519 Speaker 1: sound like a bad thing, Yeah no, but it would 1878 01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:21,280 Speaker 1: be fun. I always remember when when they went out 1879 01:45:21,280 --> 01:45:24,360 Speaker 1: the Marco Rubio from you know, for his boat. That 1880 01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:26,800 Speaker 1: was like he was living some lavish lifestyle or whatever, 1881 01:45:26,840 --> 01:45:28,600 Speaker 1: and I was just like, you're in Florida, man, you 1882 01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:31,040 Speaker 1: might as well get a boat of some kind. Even 1883 01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:33,200 Speaker 1: if it's a canoe or a kayak. You gotta get 1884 01:45:33,240 --> 01:45:37,080 Speaker 1: a boat. Bobby Buck, I got a question for you. 1885 01:45:37,320 --> 01:45:39,760 Speaker 1: Did your brothers start the gluten free Bread Company as 1886 01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:41,679 Speaker 1: a result of you having to deal with gluten free 1887 01:45:41,680 --> 01:45:43,920 Speaker 1: products or is it just a coincidence? That would be 1888 01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:46,439 Speaker 1: good brotherly love. Anyway. I listened to the show daily. 1889 01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:48,759 Speaker 1: I consider myself a team member, Bobby. You most certainly 1890 01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:50,880 Speaker 1: are a part of Team Buck. Tell producer Mark to 1891 01:45:50,920 --> 01:45:53,920 Speaker 1: smile for us. Oh, he smiles. Don't worry he's fine. 1892 01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:56,240 Speaker 1: He's having fees, having fun, don't du non't never worry 1893 01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:59,240 Speaker 1: about producer Mark. He's good. Um. As for my brother, 1894 01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:03,679 Speaker 1: he know he was gluten free before I was, so 1895 01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:06,519 Speaker 1: I thought that gluten free, quite honestly, was kind of 1896 01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:11,120 Speaker 1: a fad, a trend, and then he was a believer 1897 01:46:11,240 --> 01:46:14,320 Speaker 1: in it for just health purposes. And I'm not gonna 1898 01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:15,600 Speaker 1: lie to you, guys, I kind of made fun of 1899 01:46:15,640 --> 01:46:17,280 Speaker 1: him a little bit sometimes for it. I was like, oh, 1900 01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:20,000 Speaker 1: gluten free, why don't you move to la and get 1901 01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:22,639 Speaker 1: a pet therapist and drink wheat grass shots all day? 1902 01:46:23,200 --> 01:46:26,280 Speaker 1: And then I got diagnosed with Celiac disease maybe about 1903 01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:32,280 Speaker 1: two years later. So coincidence or cosmic fade or something. 1904 01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:34,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, you guys tell me, but yeah, I 1905 01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:36,479 Speaker 1: know he was gluten free first. And the product line 1906 01:46:36,520 --> 01:46:39,160 Speaker 1: is called Suzies. It's s O o z y and 1907 01:46:39,240 --> 01:46:41,120 Speaker 1: the stuff is I mean, they've got bread now and 1908 01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:43,360 Speaker 1: whole foods of foods. It's amazing. I mean, the donuts, 1909 01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:45,760 Speaker 1: the muffins, really high quality stuff. I love it. I 1910 01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:47,280 Speaker 1: mean I eat it every morning. And again it's my 1911 01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:49,880 Speaker 1: brother's company, so it's delicious and I get to support 1912 01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:52,519 Speaker 1: a family member that's gonna be the show for today.
