Rand Paul calls for Americans to rise up AND say no to tyrants: ‘THEY can’t arrest us all! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

  Speaker 1: So if you want to know how bad it's gotten
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: with trying to beat you into submission on COVID nineteen
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and vaccines and mandates, and judge now has ordered a
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: defendant to receive the vaccine. That's right. From the very
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: beginning of the coronaviter's crisis until now, there have been
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a persistent hum of concern from liberty minded people like
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: myself who were fearful that this pandemic itself was actually
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: being used by the government to encroach on our freedoms
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and see what they could get away with. And I
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: told you there was a certain point with the lockdowns
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that it was not about our safety, It was not
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: about our freedoms. It was about what can we get
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: away with? Can we take away church? Can we take
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: away their ability to see Grandma? Can we take away
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: their ability to bury the dead? Can we take away
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: their holidays? Can we take away their kids schooling? Well?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Guess what all of what I just talked about, every
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: single bit of it, they were able to do. They
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: were able to take away all of our lives, including
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: shutting down our businesses, our churches, all of it, folks,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: all of it. So why stop, right if you can
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: get away with this. Why would you stop? Let's take
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it a step further, let's keep going. Why would you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: not keep going? Well, now they're doing the exact same thing.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It's very clear that they're advocating pushing and moving towards
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: extreme lockdowns. I am telling you right now, and get
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: ready for it. I've been calling this for months now,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and I think you understand why by Labor Day you're
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: going to see schools shutting down all over the country
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: because the teacher's union is already prepping for that. Former
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: CDC director even says he was quote sidelines and threatened
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: for taking lab week theory. Seriously, we're now finding out.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Remember you're not allowed to talk about that. No, sir,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the former CDC director, instead of covering for China, has
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: now come out and act actually said that he was sideline.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: He was sidelined because he was looking at what the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: data was, he was looking at the science, he was
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: looking at the facts about COVID nineteen in these lockdowns
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and looking at the origins of COVID nineteen and realizing
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: this didn't come from a wet market, right, this didn't
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: come from this lab or excuse me, he has marked
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that three two one three two one. This didn't come
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: from bats, it didn't come from dogs, and you could
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: see that it was very clear what was happening here.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So the former CDC director has actually come out now saying, hey,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I was shut out. I was sidelines because I didn't
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: push the lie, the narrative that everybody else was telling
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: me to say. Doctor Robert Redfield, former CDC director, said
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: this on TV earlier. I think what you've seen over
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the last eighteen months is no new evidence to suggest
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that this evolved from nature. Haven't seen any evidence of
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: it being associated with any of the animal species. They've
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: tested over eighty thousand animals. But we have seen growing
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: evidence to support that this in fact was a consequence
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of a laboratory leak. So I continue to believe, of
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the two hypotheses, that the laboratory leak is the most
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: likely origin of this virus. It's in a way tragic
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: because you would then say that this pandemic was caused
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: in a way by science, not necessarily by nature. And
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I think I'm very disheartened when I've seen how the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: scientific community failed to approach both hypotheses with an open mind.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was very rapidly sidelined, threatened, and you know,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: really put on sort of outed because somehow I believed
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: as a virologist that this virus may have come from
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the laboratory. Did you hear that he was threatened? Let's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: go back and really think about this. That the CDC
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: director saying he actually was looking at the science and
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: this is what they had to say, failed to approach
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: both hypotheses with an open mind. I mean I was
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: very rapidly sidelined, threatened, and you know, really put on
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: sort of outed because somehow I believed as a virologist
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: that this virus may have come from the laboratory, that
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: this may have come from a laboratory. Did you hear that?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Did you hear that he was sidelined and threatened for
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: taking the lab leak theory seriously, which now was clearly
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: basically become fat This is the CDC director. Even the
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: CDC director can't believe what the big government tells you
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and the big tech tells you. Remember your kicked off Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: If you said that this came the Wuhuan lab, even
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: if you had a massive following that you spent decades building,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: they would shut you down, which brings us back to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Senor Rand Paul. Senator Rand Paul is now calling for
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Americans to rise up and say no to the tyrants,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: saying that they cannot arrest us all. Senator Ran Paul
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is taking a stand again again so seeking to strip
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you and I of our rights by using COVID nineteen
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: as an excuse to radically transform the nation to a
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: very dark and oppressive place that is more to their liking.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: The Biden administration is veering into full blown authoritarianism after
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the political humiliation of missing the goal of seventy percent
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: fully vaccinated by July fourth. Well, they want more control
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: over you and your body, and they want to make
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it their mission to make decisions for your own personal
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: medical choices. They want the government calling the shots, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: they're moving towards doing exactly that. They don't care if
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you face the prospect of being unemployed, because they'll just
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: give you money and you'll be addicted to them. Right,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: So they're forcing your employers to force you to take
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the jab. They want to force you into exclusion, into depression,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: take you out of society, or even worse. So on
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a video posted a Twitter, the Kentucky Republican issued a
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: rousing defensive freedom that as a poke in the eye
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: of these tyrants. He called them petty tyrants, singling out
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Speaker Nancy Pelosian President Joe Biden as well as the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: CDC for their anti science mass mandates and threats of lockdown.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Now this goes hand in hand with a former CDC
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: director who said he was sideline and threatened for even
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: taking the Wuhan Lableek theory seriously, that if you brought up,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: even if he brought it up, you were shut out
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of social media. Now, Senator Paul has taken a lot
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: of heat for what he had to say. I think
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: he should not be taking heat. I think he should
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: be cheered on for actually doing this. I think the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: former CDC director, doctor Robert Redfield acknowledging the lack of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: CDC data support universal school masking recommendations is another perfect
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: example of the problem that we have. And I want
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to play for you real quick. The CDC director. The
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: former CDC director, Director Robert Redfield acknowledging we don't have
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: data to support universal school masking recommendations, no matter what
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the Left is trying to tell you. And he didn't
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: say the left because he's talking about this from a
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: scientific standpoint. But he said it is imperative that we
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: have our students return to school. It does not mean
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: they need to wear a mask when returning to school.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It's really important you raise it. These policies should be
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: grounded in data as opposed to opinion. I think your
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: guests raise is a very important part. There's been very
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: few studies that really are compelling in that setting of
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the classroom. We did a number of studies when I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: was there, just in fixed settings to recognize that if
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you aerosolize virus through a mask and then the recipient
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: had a mask, and these were all dummies in rooms
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that were ventilated to a different degree, you could have
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: an impact on the amount of virus that went from
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: one to another. But that's not to say in a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: real life scenario that that's efficacious in the classroom. One
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of the things that I think is really important in
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the classroom, for example, is how to identify the silent epidemic.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: This is why we've recommended in a number of jurisdictions
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: they are doing this to do routine testing of all
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the students twice a week so they can find out
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: who's asymptomatically infected and who is it and get them
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: out of the transmission cycle. So I think there is
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a positive data. So you know, when you look at
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: what the CDC is recommended now, you know they're basically
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: saying everybody should be masked, right, And we talked about
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the fact that there has been no study that would
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that would back that up. So the question is, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you say, you did some studies then, but you didn't
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: with dummies. Where have they been for the past you know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: ever since then? What's been going on for the past
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: nine ten months. Why don't we have data rather than,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: as you say, just opinion that's leading this push with
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: our schools. I think it's a fair criticism, a fair criticism.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You know, you heard the I think in the Wall
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Street Journal they talked about forty two billion dollars of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: NIH finding in less than two percent was on COVID.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, these are critical questions. Is routine screening twice
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a week in a school? Is that the real way
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to limit interschool transmission? Is it, you know, wearing masks
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: or not wearing masks? You know, I'm of the point
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: of view that this has to be locally decided as
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: opposed to a general mandate, particularly in the absence of data.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: But you know, I've said before, I do believe that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: masks are better than having received a vaccine that didn't
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: work in you. But that's not to say that I'm
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: convinced that we can make the statements that the best
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: way to protect kids in school is as some as
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: advocated universal masking. I think maybe better ventilation, maybe better desanitation,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: maybe routine testing twice a week to identify silent epidemic.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe reinforcing in parents that they don't send their kids
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to school if they're sick, and they don't send them
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to school if their siblings are sick. So do you
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: think the current CDC rule that all kids should wear
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: a Master's saying that the current CDC is wrong on
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: this issue. I'm saying that I haven't been able to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: review data that supports that recommendation. Again, it goes back
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to data, right, Well, this is of course one of
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the guy's been silenced, right, I mean, this is exactly
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: why you shut somebody down and you silence them. He's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: saying stuff you don't want to be said. He's saying
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: stuff that you don't believe should ever be said in public.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Apparently right, all this should be silenced. All of this
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: should be not talked about. All of this should be
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: shut down, None of this should have a place in
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: society to even discuss it, which goes back to Senator
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Ryan Paul. Senator Paul put out a video. He is
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: being criticized, the media is crucifying him. Right now, I'm
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: going to play for you this video, and he says
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: it's time for us to rise up. Says time for
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: us as Americans to realize this is we are at
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a quote moment of truth and a crossroads. Will we
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: allow these people to use fear and propaganda to do
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: further harm to our society, economy, and our children, or
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: we stand together and say absolutely not this time, I
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: choose freedom. I think Senator Paul has a one hell
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: of a point. It's time for us to resist. They
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: can't arrest all of us, They can't keep all of
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: your kids home from school. They can't keep every government
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: building closed, although I've got a long list of ones
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: they might keep closed or might ought to keep closed.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: We don't have to accept the mandates, lockdowns and harmful
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: policies of the petty tyrants and bureaucrats. We can simply
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: say no, not again, Nancy Pelosi. You will not arrest
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: or stop me or anyone on my staff from doing
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: our jobs. We have either had COVID, had the vaccine,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: or been offered the vaccine. We will make our own
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: health choices. We will not show you a passport, We
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: will not wear a mask. We will not be forced
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: into random screenings and testings so you can continue your
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: drunk with power reign over the Capitol. President Biden, we
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: will not accept your agencies mandates or your reported moves
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: towards a lockdown. No one should follow the CDC's anti
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: science mask mandates. And if you want to shut down
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: federal agencies again, some of which aren't even back to
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: work yet, I will stop every bill coming through the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Senate with an amendment to cut their funding if they
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: don't come back to work. In person, Local bureaucrats and
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: union bosses, we will not allow you to do more
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: harm to our children again. This year. Children are not
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: at any more risks from COVID than they are from
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the seasonal flu. Every adult who works in schools has
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: either the vaccine or had their chance to get vaccinated.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: There is no reason for mask mandates, part time schools,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: or any lockdown measures. Children are falling behind in school
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and are being harmed physically and psychologically by the tactics
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: that you have used to keep them from the classroom
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: during the last year. We won't allow it again. If
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a school system attempts to keep children from full time,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: in person school, I will hold up every bill with
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: two amendments, one to defund them and another to allow
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: parents the choice or where the money goes for their
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: child's education. Do I sound fed up to you? That's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: because I am. I'm not a career politician. I practice
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: medicine for thirty three years. I graduated from Duke Medical School.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I've worked in emergency rooms, I've studied immunology and virology,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: and I ultimately chose to become an eye surgeon. I've
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: been telling everyone for a year now that doctor Fauci
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and other public health bureaucrats we're not following the science,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and I've been proven right time and time again. But
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not the only one who's fed up. I can't
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: go anywhere these days without people coming up and thanking
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: me for standing up for them. Whether I'm at work
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: or at events in Kentucky, at airports and restaurants, or
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: in stores, people thank me for taking a stand. They
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: thank you for standing up for actual science, for standing
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: up for freedom, standing against mandates, lockdowns, and bureaucratic power grabs.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I think the tide is turning as more and more
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: people are willing to stand up. I see stories from
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: across the country of parents standing up to the unions
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and school boards. I see brave moms standing up and
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: saying my kids need to go back to school. In person,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I see members of Congress refusing to comply with petty
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: tyrant Pelosi. We are at a moment of truth and
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: a crossroads. Will we allow these people to use fear
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and propaganda to do further harm to our society, economy,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and children, or will we stand together and say absolutely
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: not not this time. I choose freedom. I choose freedom.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: One hell of a way to put it quote, It's
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: time for us to resist. They can't arrest all of us.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: They can't keep all of our kids home from school.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: They can't keep every government building closed. We don't have
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to accept the mandates. The lockdown is the harmful policies
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: of the petty, tyrants and bureaucrats. We can simply say no,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: not again. Now, there are a lot of people out
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: there who are bitterly clinging to the government's going to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: save your life, and the government is the one that
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: needs to do this. So give you an example. One
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: guy put on social media, Rand Paul looked at the
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: news of rising COVID infections, deaths and bad political policies
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and Texas and Ford and said, Kentucky wants this Rampaul
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: is a failure as a senator, a doctor, and a
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: human being. Another said it's way past time for the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: sent to censor this traitor, Senator Paul. Senator Paul hates
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the CDC because he has so much trouble spelling it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Another one said, I mean this is this is the people.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: These are the people that want to keep us locked down.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Another one said, Rand Paul shares a lot of dumb
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: opinions for someone within neighbor beating distance, referring to his
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: neighbor trying to kill him. Another one said, every time
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I'm forced to see or hear Senator Paul speak, I'm
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: reminded how grateful I am to his neighbor for trying
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: to kill him. Just remember that Senator Paul also tweeted out, Unfortunately,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I'll have to limit my August activities part of my
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: long damage. By the twenty seventeen it salt had to
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: be removed by surgery this weekend. The doctors and nurse
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and staff at Vanderbilt University Medical Center were great. It
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: should be able to return to the Senate in September.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Put that out in August and fifth and people are
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: now celebrating that tweet talking about they wish you would
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: have died. When you have people that are this political
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: where they advocate for a senator being murdered, when they
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: advocate for a senator dying, why would you listen to
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: them in anything they have to say about mass mandates
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: when they claim it's actually for your safety. Think about that.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And if you think by the way that these people
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: are experts, they're wrong. Just look at the White House
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Press Secretary Jen Saki on doctor Osterholme saying cloth masks
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: don't work. She's still arguing this. I mean, we're eighteen
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: months in this saying nineteen months in this thing. If
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you think about where we really are right now and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: they can't even get their act together on the debate
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: over cloth masks. Do they or don't they work? This
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: is how stupid The White House still is using a
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: few things there. But let me first say that Osterhome
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: is not an advisor to the President, to the administration,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: to the White House. He doesn't work here. He's a
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: private citizen and a medical public health expert. But a
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: lot of celt experts are out there speaking, and good
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: for them. I will say that we are going to
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: continue to rely on the advice of medical experts in
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the federal government on what kind of masks we all
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: should wear, what kind of masks kids should wear, and
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: if they change that advice, then the Department of Education
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: we'll be working with schools to make sure if that's
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: implemented as a mitigation measure. The issue we have taken
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: with the guidance of Governor de Santis, which he of
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: course is fundraising off of, I think we should note,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: is that he is preventing schools and teachers and others
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: from protecting themselves and the students in their classroom. And
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: as a mother myself, that's concerning, and I'm sure it's
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: concerning to mothers in Florida. But by the way, just
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: so you know, there's no law or mandate that says
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you can't wear a mask. If you want your kid
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: to wear a mask at school. As a parent, you
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: have the right to tell your kid to put on
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: a mask. You have a right to have your kids
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: sleep in a mask. You have a right to put
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: your mask on your kid all day long twenty four
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: to seven, or wear two masks at school. The only thing,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Governor Santans says, I'm not going to mandate it. I
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: think we're gonna have to continue, to go ahead. I
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: think we've got to continue. Go ahead. You had a
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: very long question. We've got to continue. Go ahead. I'm sorry.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Emerald. I love that right. We got to
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: move on quickly, got to move on quickly. So well,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I'll say what I want to say and then I'll
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: attack it. Doctor Fauci, by the way, has come out
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: telling you this about your freedom's quote. Hopefully mass mandates
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and schools will be quote temporary work for them. I
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: thought that Redfield, an inter said, it was very interesting.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I thought the Fauci interview with Hugh Hewett was interesting.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Here's what he said, guys, call for one on Monday.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: It's not comfortable obviously for children to wear masks, particularly
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the younger children. But hopefully this will be a temporary thing,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: temporary enough that it temporary enough that doesn't have any
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: lasting effects. Wow. Yeah, we hope it's temporary, right, I mean,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: maybe this will be temporary. Could be it could be temporary.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not, could be possibly, we don't know. We'll see.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Hopefully it's temporary. And then aage director also says he's
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: getting quote, nasty emails from vaccinated people. We didn't flip
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: flop on a mask either, just so you know, Yeah,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I'm getting nasty emails. So are they making decisions based
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: on your emails? And if they're angry about those emails,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just curious. Run to santists. By the way, amazing
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: governor in Florida. He didn't say you couldn't put a
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: mask on a kid. He said, I'm going to leave
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: it to parents if they want their children to wear
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: a mask. If you want your kid to wear a mask,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and your kid can wear a mask. Well, they did
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: this last summer, Laura, when we went to in person schooling,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: we said we're gonna have kids in school, and we
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: understood it was a lowish environment. Oh man, they were
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: saying all kinds of stuff, and we had a very
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: successful school year. We're gonna do it again this year
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: in Florida. Though. We think it's really important that parents
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: make decisions about whether kids go to school with mass
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: or not. So if certain parents feel that they want
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: their kids doing that, we're not going to prevent that.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of parents, including me, who doesn't
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: think that's healthy for our kids to be wearing masks
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: all day. And I know people like Joe Biden think
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the government should force kinder gardeners to sit there under
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: these mass for six, seven eight hours a day. I
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: could just tell you, Laura, in Florida last year, in
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: our school districts, we had something that had mass requirements,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: others that didn't. The ones that didn't, those counties had
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: lower per capita cases than the ones that did. And
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: so it's not proven to really impact viral transmission in schools.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: And so that's why I think a parents' decision and
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: it shouldn't be mandated by the government. Governor, we have
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: learned that the administration is considering I'm going to ask
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: all my guests this tonight a vaccine mandate for foreign
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: visitors coming into the United States. Apparently they're working on that.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: It'll be announced soon. Your reaction, Yeah, I think that'd
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: be a big mistake. I think that would chill commerce.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I think that would hurt tourism. At the end of
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the day. In Florida, for example, we have ninety one
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: percent of our seniors have gotten shots. I do believe
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: in those hospital CEOs said that that has reduced mortality,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: particularly among our elderly. But ultimately the vaccines protecting you.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear people are getting infected even
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: if they're vaccinated. So it's effect on transmission hasn't been
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: what we anticipated. And so that's just the fact. And
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: so I think that those types of requirements I think
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: would do more harm than good, would do more harm
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: than good. Nice to see an elected official actually say
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: it's up to you, that we should trust you, that
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: we should allow you to decide what's best for your kid.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: He's not saying you can't have your kid wear a mask,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: but I'm witting parents decide if your kid's going to
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: wear a mask or not. That's what freedom actually is,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: not dictators and tyrants like we're seeing from this White House.
