The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 541 - The Scientist Has No Clothes

00:00:00.000 The scientist whose disproven doomsday model destroyed the global economy has resigned from his position after it came out that he broke his own lockdown order to sleep with his married mistress.

00:00:12.100 All of which brings up one question.

00:00:14.460 Why should we be expected to listen to scientists when the scientists don't even listen to themselves?

00:00:19.760 Chris Cuomo goes on an unhinged rant.

00:00:22.160 A salon owner in Texas tells a power-hungry judge to pound sand.

00:00:25.980 And President Trump vows revenge on China.

00:00:28.640 All that and more. I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:38.400 Oh, the scientists, how they reveal themselves, sometimes metaphorically, sometimes literally, apparently, to their married mistresses.

00:00:47.380 All of this as governors around the country are urging more caution, more heed, more fear.

00:00:56.400 Even as some of the states are reopening, we'll see the effects of some of that in a little bit.

00:01:01.180 Even as they're saying that, they're saying you have to follow the rules, you have to do exactly what we say.

00:01:05.140 The governor of West Virginia came out and used even more colorful language than that.

00:01:10.360 Again, I encourage all businesses that are allowed to open to do so only if they f***ing follow the guidelines to keep West Virginia safe.

00:01:19.820 So, I don't know that we actually even had to bleep that, because at first I couldn't tell, look, West Virginia, that's a pretty serious place.

00:01:31.140 You know, that's a pretty direct, tell you like I see it, you know, kind of American state.

00:01:37.140 I think what he was actually trying to say was, on his sheet of paper, it said, if you follow the guidelines.

00:01:45.320 But then he saw the word can, so it was if you can follow the guidelines, and the way it came out, obviously, we have to bleep it if we're going to play it on this show.

00:01:55.600 But I like that attitude.

00:01:56.900 We're going to open up if you follow the guidelines.

00:02:00.660 Okay, yes, sir.

00:02:01.900 Unfortunately, most of the people who are urging us to do exactly what they say are not doing it in this tongue-in-cheek or accidental sort of way.

00:02:12.280 And the chief among them, the chief offender of this, is Neil Ferguson.

00:02:16.840 This name, it probably isn't going to go in the history books, because he's probably going to be written out of the history, but he should.

00:02:22.680 Because this is the guy, more than anybody, responsible for the global economic shutdown.

00:02:29.540 This is the guy who came up with the infamous Imperial College model that predicted 2.2 million deaths or more, you know, in the United States from coronavirus.

00:02:43.120 So, Neil Ferguson says, if you guys pursue herd immunity, if you guys let the virus run rampant, you don't shut down your businesses, then you're going to have millions and millions of deaths on your hands.

00:02:54.380 You've got to stay in your apartment.

00:02:56.040 Okay, fine.

00:02:56.960 All the governments of the world, including the UK, where he lives, shut down.

00:03:04.500 Then, turns out, Neil Ferguson didn't follow his own lockdown order.

00:03:09.180 Why am I surprised?

00:03:10.100 Neil Ferguson, on at least two separate occasions, this is a 51-year-old scientist, broke the lockdown order so that his 38-year-old married lover could leave her home,

00:03:23.440 travel all the way across London, travel all the way across London, and have a fun time, have a little lockdown and chill with the government scientist.

00:03:32.260 This is right after Neil Ferguson got finished self-isolating for two weeks for testing positive for coronavirus.

00:03:41.720 So, it wasn't even out of an abundance of caution.

00:03:44.520 You know, I met a guy who met a guy who met a guy who had coronavirus and so I'm going to stay home.

00:03:48.280 The guy was self-isolating after testing positive.

00:03:51.780 And yet, people are breaking these orders.

00:03:57.960 Neil Ferguson sort of accepted responsibility.

00:04:00.220 He has resigned from his government position.

00:04:02.380 It's not enough.

00:04:03.760 Okay, and as we're seeing more and more scientists and the politicians who are using the scientists being exposed for getting this virus so wrong,

00:04:14.480 you're going to see the excuses pile up.

00:04:17.020 I love Neil Ferguson's excuse, which we'll get to in a second, but it's not just Neil Ferguson, it's other scientists, it's media personalities, it's governors, it's everybody colluding together to try to cover up for this terrible damage that they've brought.

00:04:34.380 We'll get to that in a second.

00:04:35.240 First, I've got to thank a new sponsor.

00:04:36.520 You know I've got to thank all of our sponsors these days for sticking with us in difficult times.

00:04:41.280 And I'm very excited for this new sponsor, Rad Power Bikes.

00:04:44.780 You know, you've seen them around if you haven't ridden them yourself.

00:04:48.100 These electric bikes that are becoming so popular, they're great for getting out, especially since we've had to spend so much time indoors.

00:04:56.500 Whether you want a new way to commute or to get around the city or out in nature, even with the kids in tow, you've got to try a Rad Power bike.

00:05:05.180 A Rad Power bike is a cross between a traditional bike and a moped.

00:05:08.640 But, here's the key, it doesn't require a special driver's license like a moped would.

00:05:12.840 You can go up to 20 miles per hour without pedaling, so you can get out and about without getting sweaty.

00:05:18.600 They're great for commuting, they're great for getting out on the trail, hauling groceries, or transporting the kids on your back.

00:05:23.940 And unlike other e-bikes, they're actually affordable.

00:05:26.480 Plus, to show appreciation for those that serve us, Rad Power Bikes is offering $100 off all e-bike purchases for active and ex-military first responders, teachers, and students.

00:05:36.340 Do you know someone who loves being active outdoors?

00:05:38.540 Tell them about Rad Power Bikes.

00:05:39.760 Right now, they offer flexible financing for as low as 0% APR.

00:05:43.540 Right now is a limited-time offer.

00:05:45.100 Get a free accessory with the purchase of a bike.

00:05:47.940 That is right.

00:05:48.680 Get a free gift of up to $100 in value and free shipping to the lower 48 states to get this special offer.

00:05:54.700 Text the word Knolls right now to 64000.

00:05:57.600 That is K-N-O-W-L-E-S to 64000.

00:06:01.400 K-N-O-W-L-E-S to 64000.

00:06:04.780 All right.

00:06:07.320 Neil Ferguson accepts responsibility for violating his own order.

00:06:10.820 He says,

00:06:11.060 I accept I made an error of judgment and took the wrong course of action.

00:06:14.880 I have therefore stepped back from my involvement in the government's scientific advisory group for emergencies.

00:06:19.880 I acted in the belief that I was immune, having tested positive for coronavirus,

00:06:23.720 and completely isolated myself for almost two weeks after developing symptoms.

00:06:27.840 You see, it's not a full apology because he's making excuses.

00:06:31.200 Look, I thought I was fine, okay?

00:06:33.820 It's not actually a big deal, but it's a political issue.

00:06:36.600 And you pesky people with your politics keep getting involved in my science. 1.00

00:06:40.960 And so anyway, I guess I'll step down.

00:06:43.000 I deeply regret any undermining of the clear messages around the continued need for social distancing to control this devastating epidemic.

00:06:51.040 The government guidance is unequivocal and is there to protect all of us.

00:06:54.300 Oh, okay.

00:06:54.720 Then why didn't you follow it?

00:06:55.640 Oh, if I have to hear the phrase social distancing again, once this pandemic is over,

00:07:02.800 I never want those two words to be next to each other.

00:07:04.780 It's social distancing.

00:07:06.220 We're just, we're all repeating these phrases like we're robots.

00:07:09.860 We're all mindlessly repeating phrases.

00:07:12.160 The government's guidance is unequivocal.

00:07:14.260 The government is there to protect us.

00:07:16.260 Beep, boop, beep, boop. 1.00

00:07:17.440 Well, clearly Neil Ferguson doesn't believe that because he violated it, which is fine.

00:07:21.880 Okay, admit that you don't think the government guidance is mandatory, necessary for everybody.

00:07:27.640 Admit that much of the science behind this whole response, this whole government reaction, was bunk, was bogus.

00:07:35.720 Admit that your study was wrong.

00:07:37.880 Okay?

00:07:40.080 I'll forgive.

00:07:41.440 I don't mind that some scientific expert got things wrong.

00:07:45.400 I don't mind that the government got things wrong.

00:07:46.980 What I really mind is being gaslit about this whole thing and being told to repeat platitudes

00:07:52.980 and being told to repeat scientific certainties that turn out to be not so certain.

00:07:59.700 Another hypocrite on all of this, another guy who clearly doesn't believe what he's saying

00:08:03.120 in another sector of the economy is on CNN.

00:08:07.360 Chris Cuomo, brother of Andy Cuomo, governor of New York,

00:08:10.400 one of the most famous politicians during the pandemic telling people to lock down.

00:08:13.920 Chris Cuomo goes on CNN.

00:08:16.900 Now that finally people are starting to push back a little bit, starting to open up,

00:08:20.820 he doubles down in a largely incoherent rant.

00:08:24.040 I pulled out the most coherent parts to try to get to his argument.

00:08:27.720 But you can see increasingly desperate telling people to stay at home.

00:08:33.960 Personally, the lesson for me is obvious.

00:08:36.380 My lesson is gratitude.

00:08:37.800 It's my first day back in the office in more than a month.

00:08:40.940 So many of you were so good to me, both in my family and to my family.

00:08:45.900 I'll just say thank you.

00:08:47.900 I will spend my time in this capacity trying to justify the faith that so many of you have put in me.

00:08:54.060 But while my own COVID battle is mostly over,

00:08:56.500 I'm worried that so many seem to think it's mostly over for all of us.

00:09:00.580 And that is just dead wrong.

00:09:03.420 Facts.

00:09:04.600 Case numbers climbing pretty much everywhere.

00:09:07.160 68,000 plus deaths now.

00:09:09.740 Two weeks ago, the president said we would have 60,000 deaths, period.

00:09:14.520 Now, his administration is reportedly privately projecting there are going to be 9-11-like death tolls on a daily basis by early June.

00:09:25.900 And yet they want to push reopening?

00:09:28.500 Now, look, no one has accused this president of being fact-focused or even read in on any of this.

00:09:33.700 But you don't need him to mislead you.

00:09:36.380 In fact, don't put this on Trump.

00:09:38.640 We are deceiving ourselves.

00:09:41.320 No, you're deceiving us.

00:09:43.580 You, Chris Cuomo specifically, not even just CNN.

00:09:46.340 You don't need Donald Trump to deceive you because I, Chris Cuomo, will deceive you.

00:09:50.240 Do you remember, what was it, a week ago, two weeks ago?

00:09:53.440 Chris Cuomo pretended for a month to be isolated and quarantined in his basement of his house because he was diagnosed with coronavirus.

00:10:01.440 And then they filmed this big segment on CNN where Chris was walking up the stairs for the first time and he sees his wife and his kids.

00:10:09.600 He said, oh, this is what I've been waiting for.

00:10:12.660 Oh, I've just been waiting for this to see my beloved family for the first time in a month.

00:10:17.100 And then it turns out he had been violating the order the whole time because he got into an altercation on the street, outside, walking with his family with a 65-year-old guy on a bicycle who said, wait a second, you're the CNN guy.

00:10:30.580 You said you're being quarantined.

00:10:32.420 Your brother is ordering all of the quarantines.

00:10:34.540 What are you doing outside?

00:10:35.560 And they got into an altercation.

00:10:38.100 This guy was not taking the advice that he was giving you because there's one set of rules for the scientists.

00:10:47.140 There's one set of rules for the media personalities.

00:10:50.100 There's one set of rules for political elites. 0.79

00:10:53.360 And then there's another set of rules for you peasants. 0.85

00:10:56.120 Okay, look, it doesn't really matter if Chris Cuomo stays in his basement for four weeks.

00:11:00.860 Who cares?

00:11:01.700 Look, his family probably already was exposed to it anyway.

00:11:03.740 It's not that big a deal in their age group.

00:11:05.480 So, you know, he can go out.

00:11:07.380 But you, you peasant, you dirty person, you nothing, you pleb, you can't go outside because then that might threaten public health. 1.00

00:11:17.040 But everyone else, all the elites get to do it because, like, look, they're really clean and meticulous.

00:11:21.460 So just don't worry about that.

00:11:23.660 Don't pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

00:11:27.760 I love the numbers he gives.

00:11:28.860 He goes, this is not over.

00:11:30.260 Cases are rising every day.

00:11:32.080 Duh.

00:11:34.020 Yeah.

00:11:34.880 Unless the virus just completely stops, unless all time comes to a standstill, there will be more cases tomorrow than the day before, right?

00:11:43.220 Unless, unless nobody gets infected anymore.

00:11:46.080 That's not how viruses work.

00:11:47.880 But that's not the number that we're looking at.

00:11:50.420 We want to look at how, first of all, deaths obviously lag infection rates, but how deaths are moving, how infection rates are moving.

00:11:57.920 Then we can see how this virus is going.

00:11:59.720 That's why even some liberal governors are beginning to reopen because we have no other choice.

00:12:04.160 But Cuomo says, no, don't do it.

00:12:06.360 He gets more desperate the more the rant goes on.

00:12:09.440 Those are the facts.

00:12:10.380 But there's also feel.

00:12:12.500 Fatigue.

00:12:13.500 I've had it.

00:12:14.720 Season's changing.

00:12:15.460 It's getting warm.

00:12:16.800 Want to get back to it.

00:12:18.220 Look at these fools.

00:12:19.380 Fools.

00:12:20.280 I know they want to be out there.

00:12:22.000 Fools.

00:12:22.400 It's not about you.

00:12:23.860 What about the other people?

00:12:25.560 And look, I'm not going to castigate you.

00:12:27.460 That's not my job.

00:12:28.400 I'm not your daddy.

00:12:29.660 But we have to think about this.

00:12:32.360 We are rushing to get back out of want, not just out of need.

00:12:38.280 All right.

00:12:38.720 Beautiful weather does not make for a beautiful reality.

00:12:42.840 Yes.

00:12:43.120 We're tired of bad news.

00:12:44.900 Yes.

00:12:45.140 The government is not doing things it should be.

00:12:48.720 And there's no question that this is all real.

00:12:51.080 But so are the numbers.

00:12:52.600 The relaxing of stay home orders doesn't mean COVID isn't a problem anymore.

00:12:56.940 In fact, the opposite is the truth.

00:12:59.040 I know I said that already.

00:13:00.080 I'm going to repeat a lot of things because it's not getting through.

00:13:03.420 Things will get worse.

00:13:04.620 I don't care how you reopen.

00:13:06.440 OK, Chris, things will get worse.

00:13:08.220 OK, you bet, buddy.

00:13:10.120 That's why you're castigating all of those fools who are going outside.

00:13:15.140 He has the audacity to call them fools, even though he himself did the very same thing.

00:13:20.000 By the way, when the pandemic was far worse, when it was raging far more than it is right now.

00:13:26.020 Did any of you succeed at deciphering exactly what he was saying?

00:13:32.220 Because I couldn't really.

00:13:33.900 He just has these snippets of ideas and then they kind of go away.

00:13:37.660 And then he realizes he's kind of retreading old ground, but maybe not quite.

00:13:41.620 He says, I know I'm repeating myself.

00:13:43.140 But the reason he's repeating himself is because his argument is very confused.

00:13:46.840 And his argument is very confused because he doesn't know what he's talking about.

00:13:51.220 He tried to make the argument for weeks that we all have to lock down.

00:13:55.000 We all have to quarantine.

00:13:56.600 This is the end of the world.

00:13:58.360 We're going to have two million people dead.

00:14:00.220 And then that didn't happen.

00:14:03.640 And then more evidence that that didn't happen beyond just the numbers is Chris Cuomo wasn't

00:14:09.440 believing it himself at the time and he went outside.

00:14:11.620 But still, for some reason, he doesn't want anything to reopen.

00:14:16.900 Maybe political advantage.

00:14:18.720 Maybe that's why some of these Democratic politicians are so keen on keeping the economy depressed.

00:14:25.420 And then he's got to keep making that argument.

00:14:27.840 But he can't keep making that argument because the evidence is all around us.

00:14:31.320 The rant that he goes on gets even weirder.

00:14:35.840 But I just, we can't, we can't play anymore.

00:14:37.760 Chris Cuomo, I'm not giving him any more of my show time.

00:14:39.740 But he gets more desperate.

00:14:42.320 And he tries to convince people, by the end of the argument, he tries to convince people

00:14:45.000 that going outside isn't that great.

00:14:46.920 He says at the end, he goes, think about, look, if you, if we reopen, think about what

00:14:50.460 you're giving up.

00:14:51.680 What do you, what are you going back to?

00:14:53.320 What, you want to, you want to go back to like restaurants and seeing your loved ones

00:14:56.760 and walking outside in the park and on the beach and going to work and earning a paycheck

00:15:01.100 for you?

00:15:01.320 Who wants that? 1.00

00:15:02.860 Who, nobody wants that.

00:15:03.780 Because now you get to spend time with family.

00:15:05.700 Your family's going to starve, but you get to spend time with them.

00:15:08.280 And that's, they've gotten so desperate that now they're making the argument, what, you

00:15:12.640 want to work and go outside?

00:15:14.040 Why, why not just live in your little pod for the rest of your life and plug Tiger King into

00:15:19.300 your head and just consume trash media, including CNN until, until the end of your days?

00:15:27.520 That's the argument they're making.

00:15:28.520 Why do you have to go outside?

00:15:29.660 This is the argument the left has been making for years now.

00:15:32.500 They say, why do you have to fly?

00:15:34.980 Why do you have to go on airplanes?

00:15:37.460 Why, why do you have to drive?

00:15:39.320 Why do you have to work and travel and move?

00:15:43.360 Why do you have to consume products?

00:15:45.100 Why do you have to do any of that stuff?

00:15:46.320 Can't you just work and go to sleep and not, not really bother anything and let me enjoy

00:15:52.400 nature?

00:15:53.520 And the irony, of course, whether it's, it's often the environmental left making this, whether

00:15:57.820 it's Leonardo DiCaprio or, or anyone else, it's people who fly on private jets.

00:16:04.140 It's people who go on their own mega yachts.

00:16:06.260 It's people like Al Gore, who has a giant home that, that could power many, many homes if

00:16:11.860 you divvied it up.

00:16:13.580 The rules never apply to them.

00:16:17.180 And yet they are so willing to emotionally manipulate you, to castigate you, to use Chris

00:16:22.980 Cuomo's word.

00:16:23.640 I mean, it's usually not as blatant as the, the chief scientist, the most famous scientist

00:16:29.440 in the world on this issue saying you all have to stay at home.

00:16:31.980 And meanwhile, he's slipping his mistress in through the back door.

00:16:34.420 It's usually not quite as obvious as Chris Cuomo saying, we've all got to stay home because

00:16:39.020 my brother Andy Cuomo says we've got to stay home.

00:16:41.120 Meanwhile, he's slipping out the back door and going on jogs in Southampton.

00:16:44.660 It's usually not that obvious, but the hypocrisy is always there.

00:16:48.160 Here's a doctor, medical doctor, an expert, one of our, our benevolent betters who's going

00:16:53.300 to run our lives for us and take politics away from self-governing people.

00:16:56.500 This guy, Jeremy Faust, MDMS.

00:17:00.080 That's his Twitter name.

00:17:01.700 He's got to put his degrees on Twitter.

00:17:03.520 That's how you know he's a very serious person.

00:17:05.940 Yeah, I think I'm going to start doing that.

00:17:07.220 I'm going to Michael Knowles, BA.

00:17:08.700 That's going to, that's how you know.

00:17:10.040 I've got a, I've got a degree.

00:17:11.240 I've got a credential.

00:17:12.240 So he puts this out on Twitter and he proposes a new concept.

00:17:18.960 Listen to this.

00:17:19.760 He says, proposing a new concept.

00:17:21.380 It's called your death number.

00:17:23.400 Your death number is the number of deaths of your fellow Americans.

00:17:26.880 You're willing to accept to save, say, 1000 jobs.

00:17:31.360 For context, we've lost around 461 jobs for every one death so far.

00:17:36.920 What's your death number?

00:17:39.500 I don't know who this person is.

00:17:41.360 Obviously, I haven't followed him.

00:17:42.720 He's a blue check from Harvard Medical School.

00:17:44.600 So that gives me some context of his point of view.

00:17:47.080 What a disgusting thing to say.

00:17:49.800 It's just the same narrative we've heard from the beginning.

00:17:52.360 If you oppose shutting down the global economy, then you're killing people.

00:17:57.700 You're a murderer.

00:17:58.860 If you think that people should like ever go back to work, you've got blood on your hands.

00:18:04.360 You're a bad person, not a good person.

00:18:05.780 Like the good people who completely misled us based on bunk, fake science and locked down

00:18:11.680 the global economy and then didn't abide by the lockdown orders themselves, but forced

00:18:15.320 everyone else to, all the peasants. 0.88

00:18:16.700 Those are the good people.

00:18:18.600 But the bad people are, say, you, a middle class salon worker in Texas who just wants

00:18:25.440 to feed her family.

00:18:26.260 We'll get to that story in a second.

00:18:27.660 That's a true story.

00:18:28.400 It's not a hypothetical.

00:18:31.040 Those are the bad people in this bizarre world.

00:18:34.260 Of course, it's bunk, right?

00:18:36.780 We know it's not a choice between we've got to save this job or kill this person.

00:18:40.760 First of all, when you destroy 30 million jobs, people die.

00:18:44.040 People actually die from that.

00:18:46.080 Every one percentage point, the unemployment rate ticks up.

00:18:49.540 More and more people are dying.

00:18:50.640 People are going to die from suicides and drug overdoses and other things too.

00:18:53.940 So that part is gone.

00:18:56.660 The other side of it is with the lockdowns, we're not sure that that saved even one life.

00:19:00.220 The purpose of the lockdown, as I've said before, is to not overwhelm the healthcare system

00:19:04.020 and to buy time to get a vaccine.

00:19:05.640 No evidence we're going to get a vaccine before the virus spreads through the population.

00:19:09.740 And we didn't even come close to overwhelming the healthcare system anywhere, including even

00:19:14.160 in the epicenter, New York.

00:19:16.320 Javits Center was empty.

00:19:18.100 USNS Comfort, empty.

00:19:20.460 So no evidence that the lockdowns have saved lives.

00:19:24.600 Evidence that the shutdown has killed people.

00:19:26.880 The entire concept he's proposing is ridiculous.

00:19:29.960 But let me propose another concept.

00:19:32.000 Here's, this is, this is an even newer concept than this doctor's.

00:19:36.320 My concept is, let's reject the modern ideologies that reduce politics to bean counting and

00:19:43.340 utilitarianism and this death or not this death, and that reduce all of life to matter.

00:19:48.100 And let's maybe reject those stupid modern, now we would say leftist ideologies in favor

00:19:54.220 of a fuller view of politics that takes into account what human life really is and what

00:19:57.760 it means to live in society.

00:19:58.940 Just a crazy idea, I know.

00:20:00.480 How about, I mean, maybe that's an older concept.

00:20:04.920 The older concept that we, we not just export all of our politics to these experts in lab

00:20:11.380 coats who don't even believe what they say.

00:20:13.680 You know, the emperor has no clothes.

00:20:16.560 That's what it comes down to.

00:20:18.160 The scientist has no clothes.

00:20:21.440 Literally in the case of that guy in the UK, Neil Ferguson.

00:20:25.240 He, very, part of his problem right now is that he didn't have his clothes on for quite

00:20:30.240 a bit of the pandemic.

00:20:31.860 They have no clothes.

00:20:34.020 And yet the left treats science like it's a god.

00:20:37.940 Oh, listen to the scientists.

00:20:39.520 I follow science.

00:20:40.600 I believe in science.

00:20:41.720 They actually use this kind of language.

00:20:43.380 Well, if science is your god, then science is a god that failed.

00:20:48.380 God that failed is a phrase that was used to refer to communism back in the 20th century

00:20:51.960 for all these communists, guys like Arthur Kessler, people like Whitaker Chambers, who

00:20:56.520 believed it.

00:20:58.000 You know, communism was a replacement religion for people who had lost their religion, became 0.77

00:21:01.460 atheists.

00:21:01.940 But the utopia, the perfection of communism, it failed.

00:21:07.760 Okay, it was not infallible.

00:21:09.820 And that was when a lot of people became disillusioned with that.

00:21:13.700 Scientism, which is what we've seen throughout this pandemic, scientism, the way to outsource

00:21:19.940 all of our politics, all the hard decisions, the serious eternal questions about ethics

00:21:24.460 and how we live, the decision to export all of that to some guy in a lab coat because

00:21:29.620 he knows how to run my life.

00:21:31.240 He knows how to make moral decisions for me for some reason because he got a degree in

00:21:35.180 chemistry.

00:21:36.980 That scientism is a god that failed too.

00:21:39.560 And we've got to stop allowing demagogues and hack politicians push that onto us.

00:21:46.980 President Trump is showing the way here a little bit.

00:21:49.180 President Trump, he's been criticized for being too tough.

00:21:53.820 You know, he uses his press conferences to argue with the scientists.

00:21:57.880 He's rambunctious.

00:21:59.700 He's tweeting about liberating different states.

00:22:02.360 He's not showing enough empathy.

00:22:05.000 He's not deferring entirely to the scientists.

00:22:08.080 He was asked in an interview on ABC with David, David Mweir.

00:22:11.080 How do you pronounce his name?

00:22:11.900 Mweir?

00:22:12.300 Mweir?

00:22:12.720 I don't know.

00:22:13.600 He was asked what he would say to the families of the people who have been killed by coronavirus.

00:22:20.660 And he expressed a keen sense of empathy.

00:22:25.360 We've lost more people now than we lost in the Vietnam War.

00:22:29.660 What do you want to say to those families tonight?

00:22:31.880 I want to say I love you.

00:22:33.460 I want to say that we're doing everything we can.

00:22:35.880 I also want to say that we're trying to protect people over 60 years old.

00:22:41.020 We're trying so hard.

00:22:42.060 I want to just say to the people that have lost family and have lost love and the people

00:22:46.280 that have just suffered so badly and just made it and just made it that we love you.

00:22:51.620 We're with you.

00:22:52.680 We're working with you.

00:22:54.000 We're supplying vast amounts of money like never before.

00:22:57.800 We want that money to get to the people and we want them to get better.

00:23:01.660 And we want them.

00:23:02.640 You can never really come close to replacing when you've lost some.

00:23:06.840 No matter how well we do next year, I think our economy is going to be raging.

00:23:10.660 It's going to be so good.

00:23:11.740 No matter how well those people can never, ever replace somebody they love.

00:23:16.900 But we're going to have something that they're going to be very proud of.

00:23:19.900 And to the people that have lost someone, there is nobody.

00:23:23.620 I don't sleep at nights thinking about it.

00:23:25.640 There is nobody that's taking it harder than me.

00:23:28.040 But at the same time, I have to get this enemy defeated.

00:23:32.640 And that's what we're doing, David.

00:23:34.180 That's what we're doing.

00:23:35.360 Remember that answer.

00:23:37.060 You should write that answer down.

00:23:38.600 You should clip that answer out.

00:23:40.240 That is such a wise distillation of the conservative sense of politics.

00:23:46.920 I know people don't consider Donald Trump to be a political philosopher.

00:23:50.260 I generally don't either.

00:23:51.540 But he gets it.

00:23:52.700 He gets it at least on that point.

00:23:56.380 What do you say to the people who have died from coronavirus?

00:23:58.860 What are you going to do?

00:23:59.760 The premise of the question is a leftist premise.

00:24:03.620 Okay.

00:24:05.540 There's this epidemic.

00:24:07.680 People are dying from it.

00:24:09.400 You're the president.

00:24:10.240 What are you going to do?

00:24:13.600 You've got to stop it.

00:24:14.900 The leftist premise is there's no limit to politics.

00:24:18.280 We can solve any problem with politics because politics is a science.

00:24:22.000 And so when we just put the experts in charge, they'll figure out the perfect scientific political solution.

00:24:27.100 And then we won't have any more death or misery anymore.

00:24:29.960 That's what you're, that's what you're supposed to say on the kind of leftist progressive idea of politics.

00:24:35.840 And what does Trump say?

00:24:36.920 He says, I would tell them I love them.

00:24:38.860 This is such a hard thing.

00:24:41.620 I love you.

00:24:43.960 That's all we want.

00:24:44.940 That's all we want to hear.

00:24:47.020 I love you.

00:24:47.960 A sense of empathy, a sense of human solidarity, and a sense of humility that politics can't fix everything.

00:24:57.140 It can't.

00:24:58.640 We've done everything we can.

00:25:00.360 We've thrown spaghetti at the wall.

00:25:01.920 Don't wear masks.

00:25:02.860 Wear masks.

00:25:03.740 Lock down.

00:25:04.540 Don't lock down.

00:25:06.080 Hydroxychloroquine.

00:25:06.720 Some other drug.

00:25:07.620 This kind of drug.

00:25:08.380 UV light.

00:25:09.500 We've thrown everything.

00:25:10.780 Lock down travel from China.

00:25:12.260 Lock down travel from Europe.

00:25:13.220 We've done everything.

00:25:15.620 And the virus is just going to spread.

00:25:18.800 And it's going to spread like other viruses spread.

00:25:21.400 Like other plagues have spread throughout all of human history.

00:25:24.300 Because we're not immortal.

00:25:25.580 We're not invincible.

00:25:26.780 Our brains are not infinite.

00:25:28.320 And our politics can't solve every problem.

00:25:30.320 Don't overwhelm the healthcare system.

00:25:33.460 But we didn't.

00:25:36.100 Buy time to get a vaccine.

00:25:37.560 Okay, we bought a lot of time.

00:25:39.200 But that can't go on forever.

00:25:41.180 Even the whole idea was flatten the curve, right?

00:25:43.580 That was the best idea they could come up with.

00:25:45.480 Flatten the curve means the same number of people are going to get it.

00:25:48.700 And assuming you don't overwhelm the healthcare system and you don't have a vaccine, the same number of people are going to die.

00:25:54.040 And that's a sad fact.

00:25:55.440 It's a tragic fact of life.

00:25:58.040 The left denies that tragic fact of life.

00:26:01.420 To a degree, they deny mortality.

00:26:05.080 I mean, in some ways, they explicitly deny mortality.

00:26:07.480 You hear all these kind of leftist futurists talking about how they're going to get the cure.

00:26:11.460 And through technology, we're going to live forever, right?

00:26:14.240 But more generally, they deny the fact that we're all going to die someday.

00:26:20.040 So everything is about living in fear and clutching your pearls.

00:26:23.260 And if the coronavirus doesn't get us, then the sun monster is going to get us.

00:26:26.980 And global warming.

00:26:27.920 And we've all got to hide indoors and not go outside.

00:26:30.580 Lest, heaven forfend, we die.

00:26:34.400 Which we're all going to do at some point.

00:26:36.640 Hopefully not soon.

00:26:37.740 We want to minimize that risk.

00:26:40.360 But conservatives accept the tragic fact of life.

00:26:42.880 Human nature has fallen.

00:26:44.460 We are mere mortals.

00:26:46.100 Our politics is not able to do every single thing.

00:26:49.120 It's not able to do very much at all.

00:26:50.680 And when we try to create a politics that can solve every problem, very often it creates

00:26:54.660 more misery than we started with in the first place.

00:27:00.200 Trump goes from that keen insight.

00:27:02.960 Maybe he wasn't even aware of that insight.

00:27:04.520 Maybe it's just his gut.

00:27:05.420 Maybe he's not formulating all of this in his head.

00:27:07.480 Good.

00:27:08.320 Good.

00:27:08.580 I mean, I think a key part of that sort of conservative insight is that your gut can lead

00:27:13.280 you in a pretty correct direction.

00:27:15.800 But he goes straight from that into what we're going to do now facing China, how we're going

00:27:21.140 to move forward in the realm that politics can achieve things in, namely in international

00:27:26.540 trade, in manufacturing, in shoring up our supply chain.

00:27:29.580 We'll get into that in a second.

00:27:31.000 Then we'll get into an important symbol that Trump showed.

00:27:33.740 You know, I feel the messaging out of the White House has been a little back and forth,

00:27:38.360 unfortunately, during this pandemic, right?

00:27:40.780 Sometimes you think, okay, it's going to be really hopeful.

00:27:43.720 We're going to start pushing.

00:27:44.620 Then it's, we've got to hunker down again.

00:27:46.440 Then we're going to leave it up to the States.

00:27:47.640 Then we're not going to leave it up to the States.

00:27:48.680 It's just been, of course, it's a pandemic.

00:27:50.480 So there's going to be some confusion.

00:27:52.140 But I think now the White House is getting really on the right track here.

00:27:55.700 And you see it even in a symbol, Donald Trump walking through a manufacturing plant.

00:28:00.340 He's not wearing that mask.

00:28:02.460 Left is furious about that.

00:28:03.460 We'll get to it in a second.

00:28:04.100 Then we'll get to a great bit of resistance from a salon owner in Texas who refuses the

00:28:10.260 Orwellian political power grab of a judge.

00:28:13.380 Then, I don't know if I mentioned this to you, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is in the hospital.

00:28:20.080 We'll get to what that means.

00:28:21.220 Obviously, it has a lot of implications.

00:28:22.680 But first, I want to take a moment to tell you about Daily Wire's newest, most exclusive

00:29:31.760 See you there.

00:29:32.520 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:29:33.600 So Trump says, I love you.

00:29:50.400 Obviously, there's no amount of technological, utilitarian, leftist calculation that can ever

00:29:56.820 replace one person who's died in your family.

00:29:59.660 That's the right attitude.

00:30:00.960 Very conservative attitude.

00:30:02.600 Very correct.

00:30:03.180 Then he moves on to what politics can accomplish, which is in all these other political realms.

00:30:08.520 Namely, in manufacturing, he makes the announcement that the U.S. is taking back our manufacturing

00:30:13.680 from China.

00:30:14.680 This pandemic has underscored the vital importance of reshoring our supply chains and constructing

00:30:22.860 a powerful domestic manufacturing base.

00:30:25.860 I've been talking about that for a long time.

00:30:27.760 Oftentimes, you'd see a plant like this in a different country doing the work you could be doing and you'll do it better.

00:30:35.440 The United States declared its independence nearly 250 years ago.

00:30:40.560 But in recent decades, Washington politicians allowed our independence to be offshored, outsourced and ceded to foreign countries.

00:30:50.500 But we're taking it back.

00:30:51.500 But we're taking it back.

00:30:52.500 And we've been taking it back.

00:30:54.180 And you look at our job numbers.

00:30:56.540 You knew that we were taking it back.

00:30:58.180 So Trump is following up this announcement with some specific features of the policy.

00:31:04.460 So Reuters is reporting that the Trump administration is trying to create an alliance of trusted partners,

00:31:10.660 which will be called the Economic Prosperity Network.

00:31:13.960 And this would include companies and civil society groups operating under the same set of standards

00:31:18.540 on everything from digital business, energy, and infrastructure to research, trade, education, and commerce.

00:31:27.440 Presumably, China will not be a part of this.

00:31:29.820 You've got to ask yourself why we shipped everything over to China in the first place.

00:31:34.460 And there's two reasons.

00:31:35.900 There's a kind of philosophical political reason.

00:31:39.480 And then there's a straight economic reason.

00:31:41.700 The philosophical political reason was that there was this idea among liberals,

00:31:46.960 liberals on the left and the right in the 1990s and in the 2000s,

00:31:52.420 that if China rose up, that would be good for the whole world.

00:31:56.080 That would be wonderful because China will bring them back into world trade, 0.95

00:32:00.640 will admit them to the World Trade Organization,

00:32:02.320 will get them hooked on some American culture,

00:32:06.620 will, you know, get them hooked on the U.S. dollar.

00:32:09.860 Then they'll begin to democratize because you can't possibly become rich

00:32:13.920 and not want to follow in the liberal democratic traditions of the West, right?

00:32:19.520 Isn't that how it's going to work out?

00:32:20.860 No.

00:32:21.280 It turns out that's not how it worked out at all.

00:32:24.100 Actually, the richer China got, the more it clamped down on its own population, 0.97

00:32:29.840 the more it put millions of its own citizens in concentration camps,

00:32:33.840 the more it relied on slave labor,

00:32:35.820 the more it forced its population to kill its own children through the one-child policy 0.77

00:32:41.660 until finally they realized they were going to have a dying population.

00:32:44.100 So they had to lighten up on that a little bit.

00:32:45.720 The more China started aggressing on the United States, 0.99

00:32:49.480 on our interests in the South China Sea, for instance,

00:32:52.060 it just didn't work.

00:32:53.800 It just failed.

00:32:54.700 It was dumb.

00:32:55.700 We should not have admitted China to the World Trade Organization.

00:32:59.060 We should not have cheered them on as they were rising up

00:33:01.920 because now we're facing the worst geopolitical adversary we've had since the Soviet Union.

00:33:06.400 So political side, it totally flopped.

00:33:08.580 Why did we persist in this so long?

00:33:11.080 You know why?

00:33:11.560 Because we liked the cheap stuff.

00:33:15.100 Because we liked the money.

00:33:17.260 Because when you buy something in America, it's more expensive.

00:33:22.520 It's higher quality, but it's more expensive.

00:33:25.280 You know, sweet little Lisa said to me the other day,

00:33:26.900 when this pandemic was starting off, she says,

00:33:29.120 we've got to stop buying all this cheap stuff,

00:33:32.340 like cheap clothing and stuff from China.

00:33:34.060 It's like, it's bad.

00:33:36.060 At this point, it's unpatriotic of us to do that.

00:33:38.840 We've got to start buying American clothing.

00:33:40.200 I said, well, good luck finding it.

00:33:42.020 Very little clothing is made in America.

00:33:43.440 Very little of anything is made in America these days.

00:33:45.660 But yes, I agree.

00:33:46.720 You're right.

00:33:47.160 We've got to stop buying stuff from China.

00:33:48.660 We'll start buying stuff from America.

00:33:50.320 And if we've got to pay a little bit more, that's fine.

00:33:52.100 Then I look at how much more you've got to pay.

00:33:53.360 You've got to pay like double or more, okay?

00:33:56.540 But of course you do.

00:33:57.620 Of course you do.

00:33:58.740 We would not have upended the world order

00:34:01.000 and allowed this tyrannical power to rise 0.90

00:34:03.380 for just a little bit of a good deal, right?

00:34:07.580 No, it was very seductive.

00:34:09.440 Everything about the idea of a rising China

00:34:11.580 was very seductive, very tempting.

00:34:13.800 And we fell for it.

00:34:15.020 Now we've got to pull back on that temptation.

00:34:17.040 There are going to be costs to that.

00:34:18.340 It's going to cost us more money to get cheap consumer goods,

00:34:22.060 which are not going to be so cheap anymore.

00:34:24.080 It's okay.

00:34:24.880 There are bigger questions here.

00:34:26.320 All of politics can't be boiled down

00:34:28.880 to some stupid scientist in a lab coat 0.93

00:34:30.780 who gets everything wrong

00:34:31.620 and sleeps with his girlfriend 0.74

00:34:33.100 and violates his own orders, for instance.

00:34:35.220 All of politics can't be boiled down

00:34:37.080 to just bean counting and economics.

00:34:39.040 That's what the left wants to do.

00:34:40.260 That's not what conservatism has ever been.

00:34:43.820 There's some things that are worth paying

00:34:46.620 a little bit more for.

00:34:47.460 In any way, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

00:34:49.840 So President Trump, very big on this manufacturing point,

00:34:52.380 as he's been talking about for a long time,

00:34:54.920 he then tours a Honeywell plant.

00:34:57.740 Honeywell is manufacturing protective personal equipment.

00:35:02.000 And so he tours the plant.

00:35:03.240 He's got his goggles on

00:35:04.340 because you have to wear the goggles

00:35:05.320 when you're in a manufacturing plant.

00:35:07.360 But notably, he refuses to wear a mask.

00:35:12.480 So Zeke Miller tweets that,

00:35:14.180 one of the top journalists in the country,

00:35:16.900 tweets out,

00:35:17.340 the president is wearing safety goggles,

00:35:19.000 but no mask on his tour

00:35:20.440 of Honeywell PPE manufacturing line.

00:35:22.900 And if you look at the responses

00:35:24.520 to Zeke's tweet,

00:35:27.820 the liberals, the left, furious at him.

00:35:31.660 And the conservatives,

00:35:33.160 basically appreciative of this.

00:35:35.440 Why?

00:35:36.160 What's going on here?

00:35:39.540 Of course the president can't wear a mask,

00:35:42.880 a face mask.

00:35:45.280 The president of the United States

00:35:47.360 cannot wear a face mask in public.

00:35:50.440 That projects weakness.

00:35:53.220 That looks awkward.

00:35:55.280 Politics is about pictures.

00:35:56.860 It's about what we see.

00:35:58.060 Trump knows this.

00:35:58.760 He's a TV star.

00:35:59.840 He can't wear that.

00:36:01.900 You don't,

00:36:02.360 I don't want Vladimir Putin

00:36:03.520 or Kim Jong-un

00:36:04.740 or the ghost of Kim Jong-un

00:36:06.140 or anyone else,

00:36:07.640 any other nefarious actor,

00:36:08.820 Xi Jinping,

00:36:09.740 looking at a picture

00:36:10.520 of the American president

00:36:11.920 so afraid of getting this virus

00:36:14.240 that he's going to put the mask on.

00:36:15.380 Trump is obviously being tested constantly.

00:36:18.300 So there's no risk

00:36:19.200 of him transmitting the virus

00:36:20.700 to anybody else.

00:36:21.940 And he's going to accept the risk

00:36:24.120 of maybe coming into contact

00:36:26.020 with the virus in the air

00:36:27.280 or on some surface or something.

00:36:28.640 That's a risk he's got to take

00:36:30.060 because the images matter here.

00:36:32.700 The projection of US power matters.

00:36:34.680 George W. Bush,

00:36:35.380 after 9-11,

00:36:36.660 during the World Series,

00:36:38.000 walked into the center of Yankee Stadium

00:36:40.300 and threw out the first pitch.

00:36:44.340 Now, obviously,

00:36:45.220 he had Kevlar on.

00:36:46.080 You could see it,

00:36:46.680 which has made it all the more amazing

00:36:47.940 that he threw a strike in the game.

00:36:50.060 But obviously,

00:36:50.780 it's a huge risk.

00:36:51.540 You've got, what,

00:36:51.920 50,000, 60,000 people

00:36:52.940 in that stadium?

00:36:54.360 Maybe not quite that many,

00:36:55.400 but you've got a lot of people

00:36:56.080 in that stadium.

00:36:57.460 Packed out stadium.

00:36:59.360 Anyone could have taken a shot.

00:37:01.900 Security at Yankee Stadium

00:37:02.920 was never that great.

00:37:04.140 It was fine.

00:37:05.560 Anyone could have taken a shot.

00:37:06.720 You're taking a risk

00:37:08.220 to project strength.

00:37:10.480 That's one of your jobs

00:37:11.600 as president.

00:37:13.540 And if George Bush

00:37:14.340 can throw a pitch out

00:37:15.140 at the World Series,

00:37:16.460 then Donald Trump

00:37:18.360 can walk out in public

00:37:19.820 without a mask on.

00:37:20.640 It reminds me of

00:37:21.240 Reagan and Gorbachev.

00:37:22.700 You know, Reagan,

00:37:23.240 the first time he met

00:37:23.940 Mikhail Gorbachev,

00:37:25.900 his counterpart

00:37:26.620 in the Soviet Union.

00:37:28.080 This was in 1985.

00:37:29.560 It was in Geneva, I think.

00:37:30.800 And Reagan was already

00:37:31.620 at the House

00:37:32.200 and Gorbachev pulls up.

00:37:34.120 And it was freezing outside,

00:37:35.600 right?

00:37:35.860 They're in Geneva.

00:37:36.340 And Ronald Reagan's

00:37:38.320 an old guy.

00:37:39.880 And he refused

00:37:41.120 to wear a coat.

00:37:42.040 And he's arguing

00:37:42.620 with his advisers,

00:37:43.340 wear the coat,

00:37:43.780 don't wear the coat.

00:37:45.540 Reagan didn't want 1.00

00:37:46.080 to wear the coat.

00:37:47.020 He sort of trots

00:37:47.880 down the stairs

00:37:48.460 to meet Gorbachev.

00:37:49.720 Gorbachev,

00:37:50.220 who is younger than Reagan,

00:37:51.560 comes out all bundled up.

00:37:53.960 And that image

00:37:55.200 was worth,

00:37:57.140 it was priceless.

00:37:59.020 You had this

00:38:00.000 older American president 0.68

00:38:02.220 looking like

00:38:03.140 a young, vigorous man

00:38:04.820 trotting down the stairs

00:38:06.180 without his coat on.

00:38:07.160 And you had this guy,

00:38:08.740 the Soviet leader,

00:38:10.860 looking all bundled up

00:38:12.220 and afraid

00:38:13.040 and cold.

00:38:14.820 And it just,

00:38:16.640 that,

00:38:16.900 he was,

00:38:17.400 Gorbachev was furious

00:38:18.200 about this

00:38:18.560 because Gorbachev

00:38:19.060 knows the power of symbols.

00:38:20.420 Well, in this case,

00:38:21.260 the mask is a symbol too.

00:38:22.320 I'm not saying

00:38:22.840 that if you come

00:38:23.940 into contact

00:38:24.400 with your grandparents

00:38:25.300 in your private life

00:38:26.280 that you shouldn't wear a mask.

00:38:27.160 I'm not saying that.

00:38:27.600 I'm not saying

00:38:27.900 if you go into a grocery store,

00:38:28.920 you shouldn't wear a mask.

00:38:29.820 I'm saying that

00:38:30.400 the president

00:38:31.000 of the United States

00:38:31.920 has to think about more

00:38:34.140 than just protecting

00:38:35.840 his own grandparents

00:38:36.560 who I suspect

00:38:37.280 are not alive anymore.

00:38:38.660 The president of the United States

00:38:39.680 has other things

00:38:40.400 to think about.

00:38:40.920 That's been a big problem

00:38:41.740 in this whole pandemic

00:38:42.420 is we've only been focusing

00:38:43.660 on this one narrow aspect,

00:38:45.240 the science of it,

00:38:46.540 which a lot of it

00:38:47.140 turned out to be bunk.

00:38:48.420 Exalted Dr. Fauci

00:38:49.380 tells us how to run our lives.

00:38:52.080 You've got to think about more.

00:38:53.160 You've got to think

00:38:53.540 about the economy.

00:38:54.220 You've got to think

00:38:54.600 about geopolitics.

00:38:55.400 You've got to think

00:38:55.840 about what China's doing

00:38:56.580 in the South China Sea.

00:38:57.500 You've got to think

00:38:58.040 about how Iran is responding.

00:38:59.580 You've got to think

00:39:00.100 about so much more.

00:39:01.080 And you've got to think

00:39:02.320 about how it looks.

00:39:04.740 You know,

00:39:05.040 a lady in Texas

00:39:05.760 recognizes the power

00:39:08.460 of images as well,

00:39:09.840 recognizes that there's more

00:39:11.040 to this whole pandemic

00:39:11.980 than just,

00:39:13.440 you know,

00:39:14.580 sort of getting

00:39:16.120 your material goods,

00:39:17.760 satisfying your own

00:39:18.600 immediate desires.

00:39:19.740 This woman

00:39:20.340 is a salon owner.

00:39:22.980 She opened her salon

00:39:24.380 for a week

00:39:25.460 in defiance

00:39:26.980 of the lockdown

00:39:28.000 and she was arrested

00:39:29.240 for it.

00:39:29.660 And a judge

00:39:31.100 sentenced her

00:39:31.920 to a week in jail

00:39:32.980 and a $7,000 fine

00:39:34.760 for opening

00:39:36.040 her salon business

00:39:37.200 and just,

00:39:38.300 you know,

00:39:38.580 trying to,

00:39:39.060 trying to feed her kids. 0.63

00:39:40.660 So the judge,

00:39:42.120 Eric Moy,

00:39:43.700 told this owner,

00:39:45.820 Shelly Luther,

00:39:47.140 owner of Salon Alamode,

00:39:48.500 that he would

00:39:49.100 not make her go to jail

00:39:50.720 if she just admitted

00:39:52.540 that what she did 0.85

00:39:53.580 was selfish and wrong.

00:39:55.320 Here's this woman's answer.

00:39:56.480 Judge,

00:39:57.380 I would like to say

00:39:58.040 that I have much respect

00:39:59.080 for this court

00:39:59.800 and laws

00:40:00.540 and that I've never

00:40:05.300 been in this position

00:40:06.600 before

00:40:07.080 and it's not

00:40:08.940 someplace

00:40:09.320 that I want to be.

00:40:11.540 But I have to

00:40:13.640 disagree with you,

00:40:14.740 sir,

00:40:14.920 when I,

00:40:15.420 when you say

00:40:15.900 that I'm selfish

00:40:16.780 because feeding

00:40:18.920 my kids

00:40:19.580 is not selfish.

00:40:20.860 I have hairstylists

00:40:23.460 that are going hungry

00:40:24.400 because they'd rather

00:40:26.220 feed their kids.

00:40:28.300 So,

00:40:28.900 sir,

00:40:29.260 if you think

00:40:29.840 the law is more important

00:40:30.840 than kids getting fed,

00:40:32.780 then please go ahead

00:40:34.120 with your decision,

00:40:34.980 but I am not going

00:40:35.620 to shut the salon. 1.00

00:40:37.060 Damn right.

00:40:38.900 Oh,

00:40:39.220 this woman deserves 0.99

00:40:40.260 a prize.

00:40:41.920 I want,

00:40:42.400 I want President Trump

00:40:43.820 to give her

00:40:44.200 some kind of medal.

00:40:45.000 I don't know,

00:40:45.460 Medal of Freedom,

00:40:46.100 Medal of,

00:40:46.300 I love this.

00:40:48.020 It's such,

00:40:48.740 it's such an

00:40:50.300 obscure moment,

00:40:51.540 right?

00:40:52.000 She's in some

00:40:52.680 tiny courtroom

00:40:53.600 in Texas.

00:40:55.360 Nobody's watching,

00:40:56.440 no cameras.

00:40:57.260 I mean,

00:40:57.420 I guess there are

00:40:57.840 cameras now

00:40:58.380 because we're in

00:40:59.100 this lockdown

00:41:00.500 and I guess

00:41:01.500 that's how we got

00:41:02.120 this footage.

00:41:03.460 But she's not 0.62

00:41:04.660 on a big stage.

00:41:05.380 She's not on a TV show.

00:41:07.920 And yet,

00:41:09.280 the question came down

00:41:11.000 to one of integrity.

00:41:13.100 And that's where

00:41:13.800 questions of integrity

00:41:14.720 really come,

00:41:15.280 when you think

00:41:15.600 nobody's watching.

00:41:17.520 The judge said,

00:41:18.740 this is like

00:41:19.460 out of George Orwell.

00:41:20.280 This is out of 1984.

00:41:22.180 I'll go easy

00:41:23.460 on your sentence.

00:41:25.100 If you just admit

00:41:26.520 that feeding your children

00:41:28.420 was selfish

00:41:29.240 and wrong

00:41:30.740 and you'll always

00:41:31.980 do exactly

00:41:32.760 what the government

00:41:33.440 tells you to do,

00:41:34.400 even if it's based

00:41:35.120 on bunk science,

00:41:36.300 even if it's an

00:41:36.840 arbitrary power grab,

00:41:37.820 you do what we say.

00:41:40.160 Say uncle.

00:41:41.000 He's basically

00:41:41.540 twisting her arm 0.99

00:41:42.240 behind her back.

00:41:42.820 Say uncle.

00:41:43.480 Say uncle.

00:41:44.620 And she said,

00:41:45.500 nah,

00:41:45.740 I think I'd rather

00:41:46.440 go to jail

00:41:46.980 because

00:41:47.640 you can take

00:41:49.260 my week away

00:41:49.920 from me.

00:41:50.740 You can take

00:41:51.380 my money away

00:41:51.940 from me.

00:41:52.340 You can take

00:41:52.620 me away

00:41:52.920 from my kids.

00:41:53.980 But you can't

00:41:55.140 take my integrity.

00:41:58.220 You can make me

00:41:59.100 scream, 0.99

00:41:59.640 but you can't

00:42:00.100 make me sing.

00:42:02.300 I love it.

00:42:03.660 I'm so inspired

00:42:05.420 by this woman.

00:42:07.120 We should get

00:42:08.020 this video going

00:42:08.760 all around.

00:42:09.320 The judge should

00:42:09.720 be ashamed of himself.

00:42:10.480 Those are the

00:42:12.440 kind of subtle

00:42:13.000 acts of defiance

00:42:13.940 that we need

00:42:14.520 to start seeing.

00:42:15.280 You know,

00:42:15.540 already we're

00:42:17.140 seeing the effect

00:42:18.540 of some of this

00:42:19.200 pushback.

00:42:20.740 The government

00:42:21.480 really clamped

00:42:22.320 down.

00:42:22.500 The government

00:42:22.740 started arresting

00:42:23.880 pastors because

00:42:25.940 they thought people

00:42:27.000 ought to be able

00:42:27.440 to go to church.

00:42:29.460 You know,

00:42:30.000 the government

00:42:31.280 clamped down.

00:42:32.280 Gavin Newsom

00:42:33.040 in California

00:42:33.620 decided to

00:42:34.560 specifically close

00:42:35.500 the beaches

00:42:35.940 of his political

00:42:36.860 opponents.

00:42:37.860 He said,

00:42:38.180 I'm talking

00:42:38.480 about Orange

00:42:38.940 County,

00:42:39.300 the only

00:42:40.600 conservative

00:42:41.160 metropolitan

00:42:41.840 county in

00:42:42.780 California.

00:42:44.140 The county

00:42:44.420 did not vote

00:42:45.300 for Gavin Newsom.

00:42:46.000 I'm closing

00:42:46.460 your beaches.

00:42:47.420 And you know

00:42:47.620 what people

00:42:47.860 said in Orange

00:42:48.360 County?

00:42:49.920 Yeah,

00:42:50.340 okay.

00:42:50.660 All right,

00:42:50.900 Gavin Newsom.

00:42:51.420 Great.

00:42:51.900 I was one

00:42:52.260 of those people

00:42:52.680 actually.

00:42:53.100 I was at the

00:42:53.420 beach on Sunday.

00:42:55.620 And he's,

00:42:56.140 oh,

00:42:56.500 we're going to

00:42:56.940 get you.

00:42:57.320 Now all of a

00:42:57.900 sudden he's

00:42:58.200 saying,

00:42:58.360 well,

00:42:58.520 maybe we'll

00:42:58.960 start reopening

00:42:59.580 in the next

00:43:00.060 few weeks.

00:43:01.060 Yeah,

00:43:01.320 maybe.

00:43:01.900 Oh,

00:43:02.160 thank you,

00:43:02.520 Daddy Newsom.

00:43:04.140 They're not

00:43:04.680 reopening because,

00:43:06.180 they're not even

00:43:06.740 talking about reopening

00:43:07.780 out of the goodness

00:43:08.760 of their heart

00:43:09.340 or because they're

00:43:09.700 looking at the

00:43:10.180 science.

00:43:10.900 What science?

00:43:12.240 What science?

00:43:13.380 What mask order?

00:43:14.720 Don't forget,

00:43:15.200 the Surgeon General

00:43:15.760 told us not to wear

00:43:16.760 masks with three

00:43:17.400 exclamation points,

00:43:18.480 to stop buying

00:43:19.140 masks.

00:43:19.820 Now we've got to

00:43:20.500 buy masks.

00:43:21.800 Everything that's

00:43:22.320 not prohibited is

00:43:23.100 mandatory in this

00:43:24.140 bizarre,

00:43:25.160 arbitrary power grab

00:43:26.080 culture.

00:43:27.380 No,

00:43:27.660 the reason that

00:43:28.540 Newsom and other

00:43:29.040 people are loosening

00:43:29.640 up a little bit is

00:43:30.900 because we're forcing

00:43:31.540 them to.

00:43:32.520 Because you can't,

00:43:34.840 as Drew Clavin said

00:43:35.740 the other day on his

00:43:36.320 show, you can't lead

00:43:37.000 people where they

00:43:37.560 don't want to go.

00:43:38.740 Good leaders

00:43:39.320 understand that

00:43:40.220 they've got to

00:43:40.580 take people where

00:43:41.900 they want to go

00:43:42.500 and they've got to

00:43:42.960 convince people that

00:43:43.640 they want to go

00:43:44.040 where they want to

00:43:44.480 go.

00:43:46.740 You can't just

00:43:47.600 force us.

00:43:49.160 We're not going to

00:43:49.960 do it.

00:43:50.700 Okay?

00:43:51.000 If we don't go,

00:43:52.500 they can't take us

00:43:53.520 there.

00:43:54.320 If we all just go to

00:43:55.560 the beach, they can't

00:43:56.340 shut down the beach.

00:43:57.700 And these subtle acts

00:43:58.840 of defiance, I think,

00:43:59.660 are very important and I

00:44:00.880 fully intend on

00:44:02.360 embracing them.

00:44:03.260 Before we go,

00:44:04.860 I've got to get to the

00:44:05.480 dumbest article on the

00:44:06.260 internet.

00:44:08.400 Actually, well, two.

00:44:09.640 I'll give you, I'll give

00:44:10.120 a quick, just a quick

00:44:10.920 update.

00:44:11.200 There's not really much

00:44:11.860 to say about this.

00:44:12.800 Ruth Bader Ginsburg is

00:44:13.580 in the hospital.

00:44:15.680 How do you think that's

00:44:16.460 being reported in the

00:44:17.140 mainstream media?

00:44:17.860 This is from CNN

00:44:18.680 Politics.

00:44:19.500 I love this.

00:44:20.740 Ruth Bader Ginsburg

00:44:21.760 resting comfortably after

00:44:23.300 non-surgical treatment for

00:44:24.980 benign gallbladder

00:44:26.060 condition.

00:44:27.780 It's because they just,

00:44:28.520 they know the minute

00:44:29.360 that the left sees

00:44:30.300 Ruth Ginsburg in the

00:44:31.760 hospital, they say,

00:44:32.360 oh no, batten down

00:44:33.460 the hatches, the

00:44:34.400 country's lost.

00:44:35.520 No, all of our hopes

00:44:36.940 are resting on this one

00:44:38.100 elderly jurist.

00:44:40.320 Obviously, we hope, we

00:44:41.600 hope Ruth Bader Ginsburg

00:44:42.500 is doing just fine.

00:44:45.700 One, because she's a 1.00

00:44:47.960 human being and we like

00:44:49.220 that, but perhaps more

00:44:50.300 importantly, she was

00:44:50.900 friends with Antonin

00:44:51.560 Scalia, so, you know,

00:44:52.340 you got to, got to wish

00:44:53.180 her well.

00:44:53.620 I just love the

00:44:54.300 headline, all the

00:44:55.040 coverage of, of

00:44:56.040 whenever Ginsburg goes

00:44:56.980 to the hospital, which

00:44:57.680 is fairly often, is

00:44:59.260 Ginsburg, we're doing

00:45:00.440 well after a benign

00:45:01.700 non-surgery, it's all

00:45:03.060 good, nothing to see

00:45:04.080 here, don't worry

00:45:04.820 about it.

00:45:05.740 Who knows?

00:45:06.380 This is why some

00:45:07.080 people joke that we

00:45:08.020 might be living in a

00:45:08.700 weekend at Ruthie's

00:45:09.460 situation, but I would

00:45:10.720 not joke about that,

00:45:11.620 never.

00:45:13.140 Also, before we go, the

00:45:14.140 dumbest article on the

00:45:14.840 internet comes from the

00:45:15.540 Atlantic, as by a

00:45:17.860 writer, Connor

00:45:18.620 Friedersdorf, and it

00:45:21.460 basically gets

00:45:23.180 everything we've been

00:45:23.880 talking about today

00:45:24.620 exactly backwards.

00:45:25.880 The title is,

00:45:26.520 Masks are a tool, not

00:45:27.800 a symbol.

00:45:29.680 Lives will be lost if

00:45:30.660 Americans allow the

00:45:31.480 culture war to

00:45:32.200 determine whether they

00:45:33.080 cover their face in

00:45:34.100 public.

00:45:34.900 Getting mask use

00:45:35.680 exactly right may be

00:45:36.700 impossible.

00:45:37.380 We lack full

00:45:37.960 information about the

00:45:38.720 efficacy of masks in

00:45:39.660 many settings, and

00:45:40.880 different people have

00:45:41.640 different value

00:45:42.240 judgments about mask

00:45:43.780 mandates.

00:45:45.040 But, here's where he

00:45:46.160 just obviously negates

00:45:47.080 everything he just

00:45:47.640 said.

00:45:49.160 Still, the evidence is

00:45:50.620 now quite robust that

00:45:51.900 masks are effective in

00:45:52.880 at least some settings.

00:45:54.540 Is it?

00:45:54.940 I don't know, there's a

00:45:55.440 lot of, there's been a

00:45:56.100 lot of robust evidence

00:45:56.960 this whole time that

00:45:57.660 nobody's been paying

00:45:58.220 attention to, including

00:45:58.960 the people pushing

00:45:59.560 it.

00:46:00.740 And all that robust

00:46:01.760 evidence gets reversed

00:46:02.680 within a week or two.

00:46:04.240 If Americans simply 0.65

00:46:05.020 studied the evidence and

00:46:06.240 behaved accordingly,

00:46:07.320 erring on the side of

00:46:08.020 caution, many lives

00:46:09.180 could be saved, which

00:46:10.380 makes it frustrating

00:46:11.100 that highly influential

00:46:12.000 broadcasters who reach

00:46:13.460 millions of Americans,

00:46:15.240 by that he means

00:46:15.880 conservatives, are

00:46:17.380 turning masks into yet

00:46:18.560 one more front in the

00:46:19.620 culture war, telling

00:46:20.700 their audiences that

00:46:21.500 elites favor the use of

00:46:22.440 face coverings to take

00:46:23.620 away the freedom of the

00:46:24.640 masses.

00:46:25.020 This is leftism.

00:46:27.340 This is a totally

00:46:28.880 leftist manifesto at

00:46:31.180 this point.

00:46:32.320 If Americans only 0.96

00:46:33.340 studied the evidence,

00:46:34.480 they would realize that

00:46:35.520 we've got to do

00:46:36.060 everything the leftists

00:46:36.920 tell us to do.

00:46:37.980 It's the evidence, it's

00:46:38.960 the science, it's not

00:46:39.780 even, forget politics,

00:46:40.740 it's just the science.

00:46:42.020 They've just got to,

00:46:43.140 look, many lives could

00:46:44.100 be saved, no evidence

00:46:45.000 of that at all.

00:46:45.640 There's evidence that

00:46:46.340 the lockdowns are

00:46:46.940 killing people, there's

00:46:47.840 no evidence that

00:46:48.460 they've saved a single

00:46:49.100 life.

00:46:49.880 It doesn't matter.

00:46:51.620 That's the science, but

00:46:52.780 we're not talking about

00:46:53.340 the science, we're

00:46:53.740 talking about the

00:46:54.080 science with a capital

00:46:54.660 less the narrative.

00:46:56.100 That's what they

00:46:56.460 really mean, the

00:46:57.020 leftist narrative.

00:46:58.800 And, you know, the

00:46:59.540 conservatives are just

00:47:00.160 opening up one more

00:47:00.940 front in the culture

00:47:01.720 war.

00:47:02.140 No, you're opening up

00:47:02.920 the culture war.

00:47:03.560 I love this.

00:47:04.180 They accuse conservatives

00:47:05.060 of being the aggressors

00:47:06.880 in the culture war.

00:47:08.220 Conservatives aren't the

00:47:08.980 ones who decided that we

00:47:10.400 need to invent a

00:47:11.180 fictional constitutional

00:47:11.960 right to kill babies. 0.99

00:47:13.760 Conservatives aren't the

00:47:14.440 ones who decided to

00:47:15.480 radically redefine

00:47:17.080 marriage, the bedrock

00:47:18.140 institution of society,

00:47:19.460 away from what it has

00:47:20.520 meant everywhere throughout

00:47:21.980 all of human history.

00:47:23.320 Conservatives

00:47:23.720 aren't the ones who

00:47:24.560 brought drag queen 0.96

00:47:25.200 story hour into

00:47:25.920 schools and

00:47:26.560 conservatives aren't

00:47:27.260 the ones who said

00:47:28.260 that we've got to

00:47:29.040 shut down the entire

00:47:30.080 global economy, throw

00:47:31.320 30 million people out

00:47:32.360 of work based on

00:47:33.760 false scientific

00:47:35.500 models.

00:47:36.740 Not us.

00:47:37.980 Okay.

00:47:38.160 That's you that did

00:47:38.840 that and forces all

00:47:41.620 into these arbitrary

00:47:42.560 cultural symbolic

00:47:44.940 moments using the

00:47:47.300 phrase, using phrases

00:47:49.040 like social distancing

00:47:50.040 as though they're now

00:47:51.060 the most important

00:47:51.680 phrase in our

00:47:52.500 lexicon, wearing the

00:47:54.340 masks as though they're

00:47:55.520 a, they're a virtue

00:47:56.700 signaling badge, which

00:47:59.220 they are.

00:48:00.720 If people want to

00:48:01.880 protest, can't they

00:48:02.780 wear masks just in

00:48:03.760 case, if only to err on

00:48:04.640 the side of caution for

00:48:05.380 their neighbors?

00:48:06.280 Were they to decide

00:48:07.580 based on the merits of

00:48:08.380 the mask alone rather

00:48:09.240 than the culture war

00:48:10.060 premise that eschewing

00:48:11.340 masks is a way to own

00:48:12.440 the libs, marginally

00:48:13.780 more would use face

00:48:15.080 coverings?

00:48:16.060 That's if the, if the

00:48:17.380 protesters and the

00:48:18.620 communicators were to

00:48:19.800 say that it's the

00:48:21.180 culture war premise.

00:48:25.000 No, no.

00:48:26.420 I think the culture war 0.89

00:48:27.880 premise is that governors

00:48:30.580 and politicians and

00:48:32.660 self-appointed dictator

00:48:34.180 scientists can tell us

00:48:36.140 all exactly what to do

00:48:37.500 without very much

00:48:38.560 evidence, arbitrarily

00:48:40.260 reversing their decisions

00:48:41.920 day by day.

00:48:43.200 And we all just have to

00:48:44.280 go along with it because

00:48:45.660 you said so because we

00:48:47.860 serve you, Dr.

00:48:49.980 Ferguson, or we serve

00:48:51.260 you, Connor

00:48:52.580 Friedersdorf.

00:48:54.080 That's a, that's a very

00:48:55.660 radical cultural war

00:48:56.640 premise and I ain't

00:48:57.260 going with it.

00:48:58.180 Fox News and the Limbaugh

00:48:59.180 program are not niche

00:49:00.060 products.

00:49:01.440 Many rely on them as

00:49:02.160 primary source of

00:49:02.820 information.

00:49:03.380 When they turn public

00:49:04.280 health tools into

00:49:04.980 symbols, they hurt the

00:49:05.780 country and their loyal

00:49:06.960 audiences most of all.

00:49:09.200 The masks are a symbol.

00:49:11.040 They're also a tool.

00:49:11.900 They can be a tool.

00:49:13.080 If you're around people

00:49:14.440 who are vulnerable, if

00:49:15.640 you are a person who is

00:49:16.660 particularly vulnerable,

00:49:17.860 perhaps you should wear a

00:49:19.620 mask.

00:49:20.360 Certainly in certain

00:49:21.080 instances, you could wear

00:49:22.100 a mask.

00:49:22.640 Okay.

00:49:23.960 Nobody is suggesting

00:49:24.980 otherwise.

00:49:26.960 For a lot of people, this

00:49:28.160 virus is not particularly

00:49:29.280 dangerous.

00:49:30.960 In a lot of instances, the

00:49:32.560 masks don't do anything at

00:49:33.700 all.

00:49:35.140 Don't take my word for it.

00:49:36.340 Listen to the surgeon

00:49:36.920 general and all the

00:49:37.640 scientific experts who

00:49:38.500 told us that for weeks.

00:49:40.220 In that case, the mask is

00:49:41.540 not, not a tool whatsoever.

00:49:42.660 It is merely a symbol.

00:49:45.340 It is, it's, I mean, it's

00:49:46.340 covering your face.

00:49:47.840 How, how much more

00:49:48.640 symbolic do you need to

00:49:49.520 get?

00:49:50.140 And what the left is

00:49:51.020 doing, I mean, this is

00:49:51.800 exactly what they do with

00:49:52.580 political correctness.

00:49:53.680 This is exactly what they,

00:49:54.900 I mean, political

00:49:55.300 correctness, that is the

00:49:56.320 definition of political

00:49:57.080 correctness is the left

00:49:58.360 forcing us all to use

00:49:59.840 their symbols while, while

00:50:01.740 pretending that the

00:50:02.580 symbols aren't symbols.

00:50:04.720 Right?

00:50:05.160 They're forcing us all to

00:50:05.780 use their words, to use

00:50:06.900 their jargon, all of which

00:50:08.020 are symbols, while

00:50:09.140 pretending that it isn't.

00:50:10.760 The left forcing us to

00:50:12.220 believe their political

00:50:13.200 premises and to advance

00:50:14.300 their political premises

00:50:15.140 while pretending it's not

00:50:16.320 political at all.

00:50:17.020 It's just science.

00:50:17.780 It's just neutral.

00:50:18.740 I don't think so.

00:50:20.600 It's very important that

00:50:22.040 we push back on those

00:50:23.520 symbols.

00:50:24.420 Prudence is a virtue.

00:50:25.480 We should use the tools

00:50:26.380 that can help protect us

00:50:27.540 and other people when

00:50:29.020 that is appropriate.

00:50:30.820 But there are things

00:50:32.760 beyond matter as well.

00:50:34.080 And we've got to pay

00:50:35.220 attention to those

00:50:35.860 symbolic things because the

00:50:38.320 ideas, the politics, the,

00:50:40.800 our, our loves and our

00:50:41.960 joys and our hopes and all

00:50:42.940 the things that really

00:50:43.860 matter to us.

00:50:44.500 Those are ineffable.

00:50:46.260 Those are in many ways

00:50:48.320 represented by symbols

00:50:50.220 and the symbols we use

00:50:52.080 matter.

00:50:52.700 So be more like that lady 1.00

00:50:54.080 in Texas.

00:50:55.040 Be less like the, the 1.00

00:50:58.020 cowards cowering in fear

00:50:59.940 of leftists yelling at

00:51:01.640 them and the people

00:51:02.680 listening to hypocrites

00:51:04.460 in the media and the

00:51:06.400 scientific establishment

00:51:07.360 politics who won't even

00:51:08.940 follow their own advice

00:51:09.980 and yet they expect us to

00:51:10.920 follow it instead.

00:51:12.180 All right.

00:51:12.420 That's our show.

00:52:14.040 You know, the Matt Walsh Show,

00:52:15.400 it's not just another show about

00:52:16.640 politics.

00:52:17.600 I think there are enough of

00:52:18.300 those already out there.

00:52:19.520 We talk about culture because

00:52:21.100 culture drives politics and it

00:52:23.040 drives everything else.

00:52:24.260 So my main focuses are life,

00:52:27.340 family, faith.

00:52:28.920 Those are fundamental.

00:52:30.180 And that's what this show is

00:52:31.220 about.

00:52:31.440 I hope you'll give it a listen.

00:52:37.560 I hope you'll give it a listen.
