WEBVTT - Biden Vows To Beat Joe Biden 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:15.040 You are entering the freedom hunt. Democrats are terrified of 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:21.160 an economic rebound. Are COVID deaths overcounted? We're undercounted in states. 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:25.799 The District of Columbia has a reopened checklist. How the 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.560 media is only going to get more partisan? The Ultimate 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:33.680 Karen video goes viral and a frisky Canadian gets on 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.440 TV and gets into hot water. Coming up, this is 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.760 the Buck Sexon Show, where the mission or mission is 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:47.080 to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:53.760 you're great American Again. The Buck Sexon Show begins analyst, 0:00:55.040 --> 0:01:01.120 he's a great guy. Now, welcome everybody to the Buck 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:06.000 Sexton Show. I trust you had a good holiday weekend, 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.800 time with friends, family, time to reflect a bit on 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.400 what the weekend really means. Hopefully you're at least able 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.840 to zoom call with loved ones if you weren't able 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:22.360 to be with them. I'm increasingly intolerant of the insanity 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:26.840 out there. I increasingly find myself unable to excuse the 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.560 extreme fearmongering that's still going on, especially as I walk 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.560 around and see people who are as I did yesterday 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.880 here in New York City, I took a stroll down 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.880 the Hudson River, once the most important waterway in America 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.360 and the early years of our republic, and now a 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.959 river that feels like doesn't get much attention. But I 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.640 took a walk along it beautiful day, and there are 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:55.080 people bicycling, jogging with masks on, jogging and bicycling with 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:59.800 masks on. This has become absurd beyond words. There's no 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:04.160 reason for this. And if it were just people making 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:08.840 this decision, if it were people who decided for themselves 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.639 that they were they were going to take this step, 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.280 that's fine. But you are expected to do this as well. 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.560 You're expected to do this. There's a video that went 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:25.239 viral over the weekend of people in Staten Island, New 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:29.839 York who saw someone in a grocery store who did 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.400 not have a mask on, and instead of just going 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:37.919 up to management, instead of saying, hey, would you mind 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.960 putting on a mask? Which I also think, let's remember 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:45.680 the chance that this person happens to be this person 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:52.959 happens to have a viral load that is transmissible is 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.800 about one less than one percent by the numbers, So 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.200 you've got a person who is ninety nine percent likely 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:02.000 to be entirely healthy, no risk to anyone who doesn't 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.720 have a mask indoors. I understand businesses can request that 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.040 people wear a mask, but remember it's also a state mandate, 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.240 so it's not really just private businesses. This is a 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.440 government mandate that private businesses have now adopted because they've 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.079 been told to. So it's a little more complicated than 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.160 just the free market is speaking. No, this is Cuomo. 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:24.680 This is various governors, various officials in cities across the country. 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.800 This is their decision. And this is still happening here 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.840 while God bless you. Down in Texas, down in Georgia, 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:37.240 down in Florida, people are living their lives again. Wow, 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.840 what a thing that is. But there was this gathering 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.240 in Stein Island, a lot of cursing, a lot of nastiness. 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.480 They gathered together in a mob. They were just missing 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:51.240 the torches and the pitchforks, screaming at this person, you know, 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.120 to get out of you know, get the bleep out 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.119 of here, and bleep this and bleep that. And look, 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:56.680 it was stann Island, so people are going to have 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.360 the salty language. But they were yelling and saying you 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.840 must leave right away. And that was the gentle way 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.320 of saying it. And I see this, and I just 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:12.640 I'm angry because of this mob mentality that has shown up. 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.760 And it's also a reminder that this is this is 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.719 not voluntary, right, this is now all being driven by fear, 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:24.280 by paranoia, by government mandate. Cases are going down dramatically. 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.000 They have gone down. I mean the point now in 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.919 New York, the worst place in the whole country for 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:34.120 COVID nineteen, we're at APLE a couple of hundred new 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.919 hospital admissions a day. We were at a few thousand, 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.120 so we're at a tiny fraction of where we were. 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:46.640 And yet somehow people are more terrified than ever because 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.120 oh my gosh, if we reopen, then we're all gonna die. No, 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:53.280 it turns out we're not all going to die from this, 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.159 well we are, I mean, as I am find of 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:56.839 pointing out, we are in fact all going to die, 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.200 which those of us on the right, and I will 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.640 just say it, people that tend to have a connection 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.520 to the religious and the spiritual, I think perhaps are 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.600 more accepting of this end state that we are all 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.599 going to at least when it comes to how it 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.840 affects their perception of public policy. You know, a lot 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.960 a lot of left wing socialist atheist types like, oh 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.520 my gosh, the state, we'll protect us. Nope, no, we're 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.920 actually all going to die. But we're not all going 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.000 to die from COVID nineteen. In fact, a very small 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:31.719 percentage of us will. And it is a manageable public 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.400 health problem now, the same way that other diseases out 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.279 there that have killed in the aggregate far more people. 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.520 You know, if we only end up having one season 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:44.160 of COVID nineteen, let's remember, then our yearly toll for 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.120 the last ten years or for the next ten years 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:50.000 from flu will will dwarf, the will far exceed the 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.719 number of people that have died from this, assuming that 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.560 it's a one year count. But we'll have to see, 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.479 we'll have to see. But this is now going to 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.960 be a debate that stretches into not just the fall, 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.120 but how many how many times our public health authorities 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.680 going to make these kinds of proclamations, even when they've 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:13.960 been wrong, wrong, and wrong again. I see that Texas, 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.560 for example, I mentioned Texas before they had on I 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:22.479 believe it was Memorial Day, the governor tweeted out they've 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.360 had the fewest fatality since the end of March, the 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:29.560 fewest COVID hospitalization since the middle of April, and the 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:33.240 second most recoveries from COVID in America, and yet in 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:38.640 other places in Blue States, people are still even more 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.840 scared now than they were a few weeks ago. Numbers 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.200 are going down, cases are going down. It's clear from 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:50.120 serology testing that you have probably thirty million people in 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.559 this country have been infected with this. That's the best 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.400 that's the best estimate they have now, but it's based 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.000 on real data. So you know, close to ten percent 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.520 of the US population has either been in or head 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:06.800 antibodies to this, and it could be more. But that 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:12.280 doesn't somehow affect the Democrat perception that this is in 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:16.600 fact much less horrific. It's still terrible. We've lost so 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.520 many people. I saw the New York Times front page 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.400 a few days ago over one hundred thousand dead from this. 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.720 And I know that there's some back and forth on 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.280 the count, but whether it's eighty thousand or one hundred 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.880 and twenty thousand, it's far too many people who have 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.400 died from this. It's a horrible tragedy, but we do 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:37.320 suffer tragedies as a society. This can whether it's war 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.320 or disease. We're lucky we haven't suffered famine. Although keep 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.120 shutting down the economy indefinitely and keep doing this, and 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.480 who knows what will happen to the food supply in time. 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.360 I'm not saying it's going to be a problem right now, 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.160 but you can't keep doing this shutdown thing. This has 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:56.200 been this look. The shutdown was the universal shutdown was 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.680 the wrong move. It was the wrong choice, and you're 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.960 going to have a fight about this that stretches not 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.160 just through this election, but stretches on for years, for 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.240 decades to come, because this is not the last time 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:13.520 we will be faced with this situation of a rapidly 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:18.640 spreading and fatal question of how fatal disease? Right? We 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:20.800 thought it was much more fatal in the early stages 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.920 of this, but somehow we've made it through the gauntlet. 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.320 We're trying to take our lives back. The President is 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.840 calling it a transition to greatness that we are about 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:33.600 to have as long as we can all go forward 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.960 as a country. And there are still people who are 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:43.920 holding back and certainly seem to be rooting for failure. 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:49.360 I don't know how else one could describe it. And 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:54.720 there is a piece in Politico, left wing site, but 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.920 occasionally some smart writing a piece and Politico called the 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:05.040 general action scenario that Democrats are dreading. And this is 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.760 putting into writing, This is letting us know what many 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.000 of us have been saying all along. We used to 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.720 be shoutowed down for this, even though it's obvious. And 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:18.240 that is the Democrats through a combination of their belief 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:25.120 in the overweening, overwhelming state, their desire to use this 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:30.560 as an opportunity to push us further closer to socialism, 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.360 and their sense that the state will protect you, and 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:37.120 their unwillingness to accept personal risk, and the fear mentality 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.400 that grips the left more than the right, not entirely, 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.120 but more than the right when it comes to matters 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:46.320 like this, and of course what the economy means for 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.840 the election. All these things are intertwined. But we know 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:54.800 that there is a large segment of the political and 0:09:54.840 --> 0:10:00.920 ideological left that recognizes that if there's a recovery, if 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:05.160 there's even the beginning of a real recovery, a return 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.200 to optimism and a return to normalcy, things are going 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.240 to be much harder for Joe Biden. So this is 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.800 what we've been saying. We've known this right that Democrats 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:18.160 have been slow rolling this that behind closed doors, you know, 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:22.000 top strategists, this one being a top economist in the 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:26.199 Obama administration. They're now coming forward with this not because 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.600 they want to be honest about it, that's see, this 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.320 is why this is why you know there's some truth 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:34.000 to it, but because they want the Democrat messaging to 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:38.400 reflect this possibility. They're trying to get ahead of this, 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.000 which is that if we reopen and if the virus 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.280 is not nearly as bad in the rebound as people 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.120 have been assuming for the last few months, which looks 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.960 very It looks like we're going to have a strong summer, 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.920 my friends. The only thing that will prevent it, it's 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.640 not the virus. It's the stupidity of our public officials. 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.640 And I tell you, when the President promised me last 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.080 week in the Oval office was a real moment. You know, 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.439 he went out in Michigan. I don't think he had 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.679 made this promise to anybody before he told me, and 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.520 then he went out. Now I could be wrong on that, 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.640 but I this is the one thing I wanted to 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.439 use my opportunity. Well, we talked about a few things, 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.480 but those were off the record, the important stuff. But 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.120 the one thing that I knew i could say that 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.120 I wanted to get him on the record was that 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.320 they'll never do this lockdown, that the federal level will 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.680 never do this lockdown again. And people say, oh, but 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.000 it's not up to him. Well, if states think that 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.000 they're going to just trample on the constitutional rights and individuals, 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.800 guess what. The DOJ has a lot of lawyers and 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:39.000 endless resources. You know, it's a very different environment for 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.199 some of these governors if they're going to get dragged 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.000 into federal court right away. Now, I'm not saying we're 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:44.840 always gonna win. All you need is an Obama or 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.960 a Clinton judge, and sometimes even a Bush or a 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.720 Trump's judges are the best. Actually Trump's judges are the best. 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.040 But you know, a Bush judge even will let you 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.480 down on this stuff and decide to rule with the 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:01.160 leftist mob instead of the rule of law. But it's 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:05.520 a different situation. The federal government is committed to preventing 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.319 a second shutdown, and the President promised me that, and 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.400 then he went out in Michigan the next day said 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.680 it to the national press, and I probably should have 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.200 made a bigger deal out of it when he told me, 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.000 But I wanted to tell all of you first, no 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:23.679 second shutdown. Here's the problem for Democrats. There's no second shutdown. Well, 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:28.319 then what does the economy start to look like in 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:32.000 in August, September, October. It's definitely going to be better 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.760 than it is right now if we reopened and we 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:40.720 don't go back into the shutdown turtle in the shell 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.839 posture that we've had recently, which I think is not 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:45.800 supported by the facts in the day. At this point, 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.319 it was not the right move we've had. We've had 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:55.800 a horrific sacrifice here of our elderly in nursing homes, 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.959 elderly care facilities, the single most important thing for the government. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.280 And to get right here in terms of protecting life 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.040 at the state level, they got wrong. This is a 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:06.880 state thing, it's not really a federal thing. They got 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:10.800 it wrong in New York, in New Jersey, place after place. 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:16.599 But remember, the Democrats are first and foremost power obsessed. 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.640 The left is power obsessed more than any principle, more 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:23.360 than any specific outcome. They want to be in charge. 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.960 They want to be in charge of you. And with that, 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.080 I now look at how this plays out for them. 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.800 And you have this piece in Politico that's saying, if 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:38.080 there's the beginning of an economic recovery, we are going 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.240 to be in really bad shape because it's going to 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.839 look like Trump can just tell the American people give 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.720 you more time, guys, we're back in action. That economy 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.000 you had in twenty nineteen, it's coming back in twenty 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.520 twenty one. Why do a big shift to Joe Biden 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.080 when we're in the right direction. Now we all know 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.080 that this was in external virus. We all know, so 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.679 they're going to have to prepare for that. But now 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.440 this gets us into which path to the Democrats push 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:10.120 for to extend the pain of the lockdowns we have. 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:14.280 We have breadlines, food lines here in New York City, 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:18.160 still thousands of people in them day in and day out, thousands. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.880 Democrats don't care. They care so much about the poor, 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.200 not the people who can't feed themselves because of the 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.520 moronic continuation of these lockdowns. But oh, they care about 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.680 the poor so much. No, what they care about right 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:34.800 now is defeating Trump and the economy going poorly for 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.240 as long as possible. Being suppressed and stifled as long 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:44.080 as possible is clearly in the Democrat Party's interests, and 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:48.040 they are taking action based upon it. The numbers no 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.800 longer justify the economic shutdowns we have in these states. 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:53.720 You might say, well, buck, what about the governors. Don't 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.600 they want don't they want things to come back? No? No No, 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:59.800 no no. They're holding their economy's hostage to a federal 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.800 ail out. At this point, they feel like they can 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.400 just blame their federal government and all the shortfalls in 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.080 their budgets for the few months we've had here, and 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.000 then a few months ahead, federal government, Uncle Sam's going 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:12.600 to write them a check and they get to be 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.080 heroes and they get to say they saved lives, even 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:19.840 in places like New York, which has been a textbookcase 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:28.560 of bureaucratic and elected political leaders ineptitude, stupidity, and covering 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.400 their butts when things get really bad. That's what's happened here. 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.640 We need to reopen this country, but we need to 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.240 do it with an urgency that recognizes not only the 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.400 pain and suffering that people across this country have because 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.880 of the shutdown, but also understands the political dynamics, the 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:49.640 implications here of what the Democrats, what the left are 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.600 really rooting for, and what's in their interest. They have 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.160 to keep this suppressed as long as they can because 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:02.400 they know that even a minimal a minimal v recovery 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.400 or just the beginnings of what is clear economic strength. 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:10.920 I mean here, they're saying that there's the possibility that quote, 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.040 we are about to see the best economic data we've 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.760 seen in the history of the country in the third 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.840 quarter of this year. This is a former Obama administration 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:25.920 economist now professor at Harvard. He's saying, watch out, guys, 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.040 the Trump economy may come back, which we all know 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.840 would be fabulous for this country, including the idiot libs 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.440 who hate Trump, amazing for this country, and they don't 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.520 want that to happen. They'd rather be in power than 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:43.920 have all of us prosper. You're in the Freedom Hunt. 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:51.120 This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. There's only 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.440 one set of numbers, right. This is not pick your 0:16:54.560 --> 0:17:00.440 numbers here. We have statewide criteria. They are the same 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:05.040 all across the state, and we know where we are 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.879 on each of those criterion on any given day, and 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.520 they're posted on the website. So we all there's one 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:15.520 set of numbers. We all know the numbers. The question 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:20.480 is at what point do the numbers drop to the 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:25.639 reopening threshold. Now people can speculate, people can guess. I 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.200 think next week, I think two weeks, I think a month. 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.520 I'm out of that business because we all failed at 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:37.560 that business. Right, all the early national experts, here's my 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.600 projection model, here's my projection model. They were all wrong. 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:48.680 They're all wrong, indeed. But notice what happens here. Projections 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:54.160 were universally, it seems, shouted at all of us as 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:58.080 the justification for locking us down. But now when it 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:02.800 comes to projections to get as unlocked we let's not 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:06.800 make any projections here. Let's not use the numbers. Let's 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.000 not commit to two weeks from now. Let's see where 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.800 we are. Let's see where we are. That wasn't what 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:13.359 we were told at the beginning of this. Now you 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.520 could say, buckle, don't we want to learn from our mistakes? No, 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.119 I think it's more than that. I don't think they 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.520 want to learn from their mistakes, particularly in this regard. 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:26.200 They were happy to use the fearmongering models to get 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.720 what they wanted, which was this lockdown across the country, 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.520 because it keeps the public officials from having to bear 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.720 the responsibility in their minds, Oh, it's been taken out 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:39.000 of my hands. We'll just do this. But now that 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.280 it comes to reopening, drag their feet can't look at 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.919 the projections. Drag their feet can't look at the projections. 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.520 Quite a coincidence. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:54.359 Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:59.200 or wherever you get your podcasts. Why you wouldn't use 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:05.840 it it there's no legitimate rational explanation. Well, I don't 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:09.359 like the way it looks. You know what, paint something 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:13.080 on the mask, right, get a new color. You know, 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:17.800 you can get a designer mask. It's such a the opposition, 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:23.200 it's so trivial and nonsensical relative to the risk you 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.600 could get sick. You could make somebody else sick. Even 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.960 if you think you're a superman or superwoman, you could 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.520 bring the virus home and get someone sick and it 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:35.640 winds up killing them. So it's just it's not smart. 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:40.680 It's not smart. My colleague Melissa the Rosa I said 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:44.920 yesterday it was stupid. That's another way of saying not smart, 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.439 sort of the hyper New York way of saying that 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:55.120 takes less words, not smart, stupid. Well, look, let me explain, Hey, 0:19:55.400 --> 0:20:00.960 wear a mask. If you're not wearing a mask, you're 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:05.000 being dumb. But we don't want to say dumb, so 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:09.919 we'll call it less than smart. Why would you not 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.280 wear a mask? Let me explain, if you don't wear 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:19.440 a mask, you may be a mask murderer because you're 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:23.879 not wearing a mask. Oh my gosh, you guys. Are 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:25.280 all those of you who are not in New York, 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:28.000 which I know as a vast majority of you are, 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:30.280 you are so lucky. But you know, I'm not trying 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.120 to focus this on New York today for any reason 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:36.399 other than just we're we're the worst case, the worst holdout. 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:40.480 This shitty is in a coma right now, and you 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.919 have these morons in charge with stupid metrics. We're now 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.160 we're now supposed to be all clapping. Yet they've got 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:49.680 the tracers in place, the tracing teams. If you're near 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:52.400 someone for more than ten minutes who has COVID, they're 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:54.520 gonna tell you you have to quarantine for two weeks. 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.720 Guess what. People are gonna say, No, Then what happens. 0:20:57.760 --> 0:20:59.639 They're gonna say, I feel fine, I don't think i've 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:05.120 got Oh, you mean, the voluntary will become compulsory. That's 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:08.280 that's where we remember. Look at masks. The voluntary will 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:10.840 become compulsory. The people making these decisions will say, if 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:15.080 you're not willing to listen, you're killing people. So I'm 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:16.439 gonna I'm gonna take it out of your hands. I'm 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:19.800 gonna make sure that you cannot kill people by not 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:25.360 wearing a mask. Healthcare provide us wear masks for ten 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:26.720 hours at the time. Why could you wear a mask 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:28.280 for an hour? Why could you wear a mask for 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:33.040 an hour? Someone tell me this, Well, the reason we 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:37.360 can't do it is because it's dumb. The reason I'm 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.199 not wearing a mask when I go outside all the 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.360 time is that I'm not going to live my life 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:45.040 with a stupid face covering that is uncomfortable because of 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:49.880 the infinitesimal possibility that somebody may come near me, even 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.280 though I've already had a COVID test last week. Whatever, 0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:55.399 I mean, you know, at what point is it too silly? 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:57.320 Is it too dumb? What about if I was willing 0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.040 to get a COVID test every week for the next 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:02.000 you know, two months, which I would. It's not that hard. 0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:03.400 I would do it if they were going to pay 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:05.040 for it. Do I still have to wear a mask 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:08.520 all the time? Oh well, maybe you get infected, even 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:11.240 when you're not really supposed to get infected, you'll get 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:15.840 in This is this is absurd, but it's political. It's political, 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:22.680 and it's it's frustrating beyond words. And I have friends 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:26.639 who have had their careers right now shattered by this. 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:32.320 I know people personally very well who no longer you know. Yeah, 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:37.240 they're gonna get the they're gonna get the temporary unemployment 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:38.720 at hand. But that doesn't I mean in New York 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:42.840 City unemployment. This doesn't. This doesn't pay anybody's bills if 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:44.760 you live in this, if you live in any high 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:46.639 rent the biggest problem most people have his rent to 0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:48.440 the mortgage. Right, if you live in any high rent, 0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:51.840 high mortgage place, I mean unemployment, you're not even you're 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.359 not even covering your never mind you know, buying a 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:57.480 sandwich or like downloading something off the internet, you know 0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:59.560 internet to watch on TV. You can't do any of 0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:03.520 this stuff. So what they don't understand is the restructuring 0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:06.440 of businesses that's happened, that's occurring right now means there's 0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:08.159 going to be a lot fewer jobs in some of 0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:11.600 these industries. And it's not based on anything other than 0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:15.679 trying to prepare for the possibility of more government action 0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:18.439 like this. You know, they don't want to you know that. 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:21.960 This is why the President promising me no second shutdown 0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:25.560 last week was so important, because otherwise you're going to 0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:29.199 have You're gonna have economic pandemonium. I mean, what business 0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:32.560 could ever come back, could ever run itself effectively with 0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:35.240 this hanging over its head? Here, you know, here's doctor 0:23:35.320 --> 0:23:39.880 Burke's famous for her pronouncements from the Coronavirus Task Force 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:43.800 briefings and her colorful scarves, which I believe are generally Ermes. 0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:47.840 Those scarves are very pricey. But here she is the 0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:49.199 man up be Airmes. I don't know, that's just the 0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:51.959 fanciest scarf company I could think of. Here she is 0:23:52.320 --> 0:23:55.159 telling us about what they're doing to get ready for 0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:58.800 the potential wave of this fall play twelve. Also, I 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:01.560
