Buck’s First Thoughts - The Ridiculous Cruz Control Distraction

into something not silly at all. It's being used for reasons that we do have to address, and we will. Here's the long and the short of it. The senator from Texas went for a brief, I think two day trip to the Ritz Carlton in Cancun, Mexico, which is not all that far from Houston. He went for a trip to Mexico to get away from the cold and the terrible storm and the power outages and the free

temperatures and everything that have been in Texas now. If he were the governor of Texas, if he were the mayor of Houston, if you were a state senator or assemblyman or whatever, if you were the local dog catcher, I might understand people viewing this as some kind of dereliction of duty. He's a United States Senator, his power is all based in the federal government in DC. What exactly is the awful crime here? I'm seeing Republicans that are piling on. Does it look good? No, it doesn't

look good. I understand the optics of this are you know, you stand with your people as a politician, but some of us recognize that that's also just not true. Politicians actually live in mansions, they fly private They don't really suffer the way the rest of us suffer as much as they pretend they do. They don't. We're all going to have big boy and big girl conversations about this,

because that's how we roll on this show. Okay, whether it's Nancy Loosie, John Kerry or Ted Cruise or Mitt Romney or Donald Trump, they're not dealing with the same old nonsense you and I are day in and day out. So we shouldn't we shouldn't allow anyone to go through the pretense that that's not what's happening here. Okay. Oh, the other thing is they said that he left the poodle. Now, look,

you guys know I love dogs. I love dogs. But the poodle was apparently tended by a guard at their fancy part of fancy house and a part of Houston, so there was someone there to tend to the poodle, and I believe on the day in question, the weather was more like in the forties, so as long as the poodle's indoors, it probably would be just fine, and there's someone there to watch I think. I'm sure the cruises didn't want to leave their poodle to freeze, but

that got a lot of attention to do. People were tweeting it Peta and segment, this is animal cruelty. So why am I telling you about this? Why are we even talking about it? There are two things going on here. One and this is a lesser issue, but one that I think we still need to spend some time on. Why do Republicans still think that it's worth throwing their own under the bus for a pad on the head from the Libs, even when it's obvious that it's a

political thing that's playing out. Why do Republicans still take the position, you know, if we just throw if we just throw ted cruise under the bus on this one, we're gonna look like people who have principles. Why didn't the Democrats do that? You need the Democrats call out, you know, John Kerry for his hypocrisy when he flies private to go get an award at a climate change conference. No, we have to do that. They don't eat their own. We leave. We somehow think that that's a strategy that's

going to be effective. And I don't know what is accomplished by this. Republicans need to understand the game they're in. The battle they're in right now. The other side, the Democrat Party is trying to destroy the GOP. They're trying to make it a permanent minority. They're trying to make sure that the GOP in my lifetime never has power again. They're making structural changes to our system, to our country, to our demographics. They are going for it. That's what's

happening right now. And we think that we're gonna what Curry favor with them. We're going to get some good faith because we decide that Ted Cruz going to Cancoon for a couple of days doesn't look good. I mean, did he break a law? Is there any ethics violation? Did he? No? I don't think so. Is there some rule that I'm not aware of that you have to stay in place when there's essentially a natural disaster. I mean,

that's what's happening in Texas. This is a this ice storm, this extreme temperature, extreme freeze is like a natural disaster. Are you supposed to stay in place just because you're a member of the federal government, You're just supposed to stay wherever you are? I mean, I wonder, really is that the new rule. I also think it's it's funny that there are so many people in the news media, specifically in New York, who are jumping all over ted

Cruz on this one. And I know that they went out to the Hamptons, which is one of the ritziest, most expensive, fanciest places in the whole country. They went out to the Hampton's. Oh yes, when COVID was ravaging New York, and when BLM riders that they were encouraging were terrifying this city and acting like total barbarians on the streets, destroying windows, looting stores, when Antifa was going block to block, engaged in destruction and intimidation like the

vandals they are. There were all these very wealthy libs who are all in favor of justice, of social justice, and they went right out to the Hamptons, which is about a two hour drive from New York City out to the beach. They're beautiful mansions there. They didn't have to worry about it. Yeah, that's right, that's what they did. But were they were they supposed to sit and suffer with all the rest of us during a global pandemic. They didn't think so. But Ted Cruise is the bad guy.

That's one part of it. So Republicans stop throwing other Republicans under the bus and thinking you're going to get something out of it. From the other side, they laugh at you. I actually think that Ted Cruise deserves criticism here for one thing, and one thing only apologizing. Why what is he apologizing for? What did he do wrong? I mean, maybe you could say that they should have made sure that little fruf rule whatever, the doggie was

nice and warm and safe. But they don't have to stay in Houston while there's there's an extreme temperature situation there. That's not a requirement. And I know it's you could say it's not fair, and maybe it's better to stay with your people and stick it out with them and everything else. But a lot of things are not fair. You know, I could tell you this. There are plenty of times when I wish that I had a house to go to a place in the Berkshires or a

place in Florida or something. When the pandemic was ravaging New York City, I was stuck here. I was here the whole time. Everyone was watching hospital ships floating up the river and hospital tents getting set up in the park where I grew up, playing Sports Central Park here in New York. There was no sense of everyone has to stay, and that you had four hundred thousand people fled New York City. Everybody who could get out got out, but ted cruise in cancou And that's the real problem.

You know. The bigger issue is here, though, and I'm backloading this a little bit. I should have gotten this sooner. But the bigger issue here is how the media sees is on this, and it is a great distraction technique because they've trained their audience. They have the libs that Democrats have been trained that Trump hatred is their daily intellectual diet. Right, what are they fed by the news media?

Trump hatred? Trump is awful. Trump supporters are terrible, and that's more difficult to manufacture now that he's not president anymore, down in Florida playing golf, hanging out. But Ted Cruise is one of the next best options they can come up with. So this allows them to focus on Ted Cruise. This is all about distraction. Focus on Ted so you don't focus on Oge. I don't know the Cuomo disaster,

which keeps getting worse all the time. Governor Cuomo in New York now has a there's a watchdog group that's making an allegation. I mean they have an analysis, They have the data that says that Cuomo costs hundreds, maybe even a thousand people to die in nursing homes who would not have were it not for his order to send COVID positive patients in the nursing homes. That's a

pretty big deal, isn't it. This is the Democrats hero of the pandemic, really second only to Fauci, And we're not given up until we expose the truth about that little tyrant. But there are other stories too. They don't want to focus on what's going on at the border right now. What's the Bide administration planning for immigration policy in this country? Well, effectively that there will be no immigration enforcement, that the border will be de facto open.

That's what's actually happening. That's what's actually going on. I don't want you thinking about that. That don't want you talking about it. They'd rather have you focused on Ted Cruz. I knew we get to reopen the country. Why can't we just go back to normal life after we've been vaccinated? Someone want to explain that, anyone really want to? Oh, because of the there's still a possibility, it's a very

small one. So now we're not allowed to we're not allowed to be free of the COVID mitigation stupidities and tyrannies because there's a very very small possibility of a bad thing happening. These are the real issues right now,

is the real things that are going on. And also I think the increasing recognition that anyone paying attention is having that Joe Biden wasn't up for this job before he became president, and he's not up for this job since he became president, and the institutional left, the apparatus of the Democrat Party around him, is really calling the shots, and it is a progressive lunatic party. That's why you have this Green New Deal pushed that's why you have

the open borders activity. That's where all this is coming from. And Biden's just going to rubber stamp it. He's just along for the ride. Just you know, give him a sippy cup, throw a blanket over his knees and tell him that will get him some mittens if his hands are cold. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Why forward a farce? Now?

That takes us to a farce in full effect? Flying Ted Cruz, He's been totally shamed, exposed for going full Trump that means lying about leaving Texas for Mexico to avoid the cold and avoid his duty to the Texans he serves, and then denying what he obviously did, despite tonight being outed by his wife. What is going on here? You have the brother of the COVID tyrant of New York going on TV calling out Ted Cruise and now I understand. Look, I don't care what my job is,

I don't care what money's on the table. I don't care about Yet I would never never publicly criticize one of my brothers, one of my family members. So I actually can I actually can get to handle that Okay, I can, but I don't think anybody who's watching Chris Cuomo can come away from this thinking anything other than Okay, So this guy is gonna make a big deal. He's gonna do the whole pearl clutching and performative outrage over ted Cruise going on a family getaway to Cancun. And

yet he's not going to talk about the fact. And I understand why, but it does affect the credibility of him as a newsman that his brother was the worst COVID disaster in terms of leadership in the entire country of the last twelve months, no question. The guy that he was having on for like a variety show and they had the big you know, the big thing to the nostril or whatever. Remember that they was all, ha ha, this is while COVID was killing thousands and thousands of

people in New York. And this is one of the constructs the left would always deploy if they if you started talking about something while Trump was was in office, he started talking about anything that they didn't want to talk about or they didn't like, it was, oh, you're gonna you're gonna discuss you know, how Trump got a hole in one on the golf course while people are

dying of COVID. That was always the construct, right, the same thing at CNN would do, which is the big you know, blasting the number of death the number of deaths on the screen every day for COVID. And then when Biden comes into office and we can settle that down a little bit. I think they've had it back sometimes here and there, but it's not the same. I mean, they really were trying to make it seem like we

were living through the movie twenty eight days later. I don't know if you've seen that, but just terrify everybody. We're living through a horror film because of Donald Trump. And and here's what I'm I'm not going to let this go. There is nothing that Joe Biden has done has made anything better. There's not a single decision you can point to with regard to COVID. Remember one hundred days of Maskinghoever, we have a hundred days of masking, and I'm gonna do it. We're gonna mask for a

hundred days. That's that's that's putting on a mask, no joke for not ten days, not fifty. One hundred days of masking. So good old Joe Biden's gonna do. We're gonna listen to science for one hundred days. I don't know what we're gonna listen to one hundred and first day, something else, maybe a nice jazz too. And I don't know. Nothing he has done since becoming president can you point to and say, oh, wow, that really has made things better.

They've really improved, They've really made us safer. No, In fact, if anything, you can look at it and say that they are always having to lower the bar. They're always having to convince people that they're doing a better job than they did right, or they're doing a better job than they are. They're in the perception management game, not the stopping COVID game. Look, the experts, they don't want you to think about this. They don't want you to

come to the very obvious conclusion. The people who told you that putting us all through misery, all this anxiety, all this stuff, the people who told you that that was going to save a lot of lives lied and they were wrong. That's it. Lockdowns failed. It's not just me saying it now. It's Governor Ron to Santa's to Florida, It's people who have seen the numbers, who have had

to make the big decisions, lockdowns failed failed. Now they can argue until they're blue in the face on the lockdown or side about how, oh you know, the numbers would have been so much higher. Yeah, look around at what's gone on, Look at different states, look at the timelines, mass mandate business closures. How did it make any difference whatsoever?

We had months and months and months of lead time, with all kinds of social distancing and mitigation, everything in place, and then we just had right on schedule an explosion of cases during the winter season, as was always the concern, and now here we are seventy percent. You got new cases down seventy percent the last month. It's going away. It's going away. It's not gone, We're not safe and all that stuff. Right, I'm not saying that this is this is no longer a concern, but it is. Well.

I mean, if something drops seventy percent and keeps going down and down and down, isn't it accurate to say it's going away? I don't know how long. But now we have to have the fight with them about we need to go back to normal life. No more masking, no more social distancing. We need to have an agreement as a society. Enough is enough. We are going to live our lives again. We're going to be normal human

beings again. We're not going to let these abject morons who have been in charge for so long and who have been terrifying everybody, and who get everything wrong. Fauci's the best example, but there are thousands of them across the country. We're not going to let them continue to just be in a constant state of pedicat fere and oh my god, no, we want our lives back. Enough.

The little pettititotalitarians running around should be ashamed, ashamed of what they've done to this country, ashamed of how wrong they've been. You know, I haven't gotten anyet and not a single apology from all the people said you just want the children to die in schools. You're just you're undermining masking by saying they're going to double mask. These are all things people come at me with. No, I was just right. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio act or wherever you get your podcasts. Unless we hold those responsible accountable for what they did. And yes, that means Donald Trump, but it also means the junior senator from the state of Texas, who I understand is vacationing in Cancun right now when people are literally freezing to death in the state that he was elected to represent

and serve. When Ted Cruz helps to incite that sedition, seeks to overturn a lawfully, legitimately democratically decided election, he is just as culpable for the insurrection, the coup attempt, the deaths, including of Capitol police officers who are trying to defend his life, in the lives of others who

serve in our capital. If these folks are not held accountable, Ted Cruz is not expelled, is not forced to resign, then what you have done is you have set the precedent that it is okay to try to overturn an election, to try to overturn our government, and the proudest democracy on the face of the planet will become a memory

if we do not fight for it right now. One of the things you can always say for good old Ted Cruise, one of the one of the things that you can always remember and and I think it's it speaks very well in his favor. Is all the right people despise him. I mean Ted gets the libs angry, hot and bothered, upset. He gets them into a fit of rage. Really second only to Trump himself and maybe some members of his immediate family, maybe Donald Trump Junior.

But they hate Ted Cruise, they hate him. So that's a good thing for for Ted from my perspective, and that it means all right, he's definitely above the target. That's why there's so much flack going in his direction. Yeah, the optics look good of leaving your city to go to Cancun with with your kids and the family, to the rich Carlton for you know, for a weekend while

your city's going through a terrible storm and people lost power. Yeah, I understand that in politics these things, these things are considerations that people in positions of authority have. Did you do anything wrong? Though? Is he a bad guy? I mean, I'm gonna tell you this right now. I know, I love New York City. If I could have gotten out of here, let's say the weekend of Hurricane Sandy and avoided the blackouts that affected my my apartment, my home,

and I probably would have done it right. Well, what are you supposed to do. Are the people when there's a hurricane coming who their cars line up for miles and miles in the highway because they're trying to get away from the hurricane. Are they being selfish? No, they're taking care of themselves, which they should do right. In fact, it,

as you all know, it's even more than that. It makes it easier for first responders to have less people to have to tend to or worry about, you know, and you know, evacuating an area means that it's it's easier for with the emergency services to focus on certain things that they have to and you know this is so it's even more than that. But I'm just making the point. What is it? I mean, it makes things better. I mean Ted Cruise has a phone, he has email,

he can do what he's doing there. You know, if you're a state representative or a city representative, I think that's an additional level. I think there's something beyond. But I mean if you're a you know, what is this? What does this really mean? If you're the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and DC is about to get hit with a really bad storm, Are you supposed to just stay in DC or are you allowed to leave?

I don't, I mean, I don't. Look, I understand there's tremendous suffering going on in Texas, but Ted Cruise staying in Texas doesn't doesn't help anybody. I don't know. Maybe maybe I'm missing something, but I do know that they they want it. My point here is really that they want to destroy him, and that speaks well to how useful he is against the left. Clearly, Ted Cruise is worthwhile in many respects, but the fact that he upsets people.

Look Beau Beto, who married into a family that's worth like a couple hundred million dollars, that he understands the struggle and he completely believes in our constitutional democracy and how important and powerful it is that we represent the will of like the vox populie. And now I want to write a song that I I'm going to play my guitar for you at Yeah, that's better, I think I said a long time ago. That better a rouric.

You can just tell he's the guy in college who was always pretending to be friends with your girlfriend and then was always the moment you were going to get a drink or something, pulling out his guitar to be like, I just I'm feeling really sensitive right now and I wanted to share this with you. That's betto rourke. I can't believe the same as Bobby. It's Bobby O'Rourke. Everybody is an irishman pretending to be a pseudo Mexican. That's what you have with Betsurke. And at least at least

the Democrats didn't go for this guy ever. Forget the Vanity fair cover because I'm like handsome and everyone like just I was born for this. Sure you were, buddy, Sure you were. I've been saying this for a long time and I want everyone to remember it. Put this, and you put this in your mind in a place where you're just it's going to come easily to you.

You always got to know that our political class is mostly a bunch of unimprefit, unimpressive, selfish fools who care more about CNN hits and book deals than public service. And the moment you recognize that, everything starts to make more sense. These people don't care about you. Better O'Rourke doesn't care about you. And look, I think that there

are politicians who care about the country. You know, I think I think Ted Cruz cares about America being a constitutional, rule of law republic that is the greatest country of all time. I do believe he cares about that and loves it the way it is now, not loves the vision of the country that he would create if he'd say where the president like some of these Democrats would. But no, do I think that Ted Cruse sits around worried about every individual person. This is this is a fallacy.

This is a fallacy, and this is a fallacy that has played out all through the COVID lockdowns. These government officials they don't really care about you. They care about themselves. They don't actually care about you. Right, They do things and they respond to public pressure, but ultimately it's about them whether whether you live or die, whether you freeze or stay warm, they don't really care. I'm just telling you the truth. It's just numbers on a page to them.

That's why accountability is so necessary. That's why the public pressure that comes as a result of failure that results in the loss of lives, for example that that Governor Cuomo had, is so necessary. He's not going to bed at night I assure you, Governor Cuomo is not going to sleep at night distraught over the loss of New Yorkers from from his not just from COVID, but from his nursing home order. Not once he tells himself, I

know this, this narcissistic, self obsessed mentality. I've come across it many times. It's actually very common in media to be to be honest with you, a lot of those people, a lot of people walking around thinking and they're amazing. But he goes to sleep and I thinking that he did a great job, and that you know, to make an omit, you have to break a few eggs, and even if mistakes were made, he's still awesome and he's to be praised actually for what he's done. You know.

That's that's his attitude, I can assure you has it feels no more no sense of uh, no sense of real responsibility, of any personal responsibility whatsoever for any of these things that have happened. So I've got to tell you, it's amazing to watch all this amazing to watch all this stuff play out. Here's a New York Times supporter. This guy's he's a he's a smug little fellow, but he's one of the better writers over there that you'll you'll come across. I know, I know some of them. Look,

there are plenty of bright liberals. They're just wrong and have bad judgment and suffer from internal deficiencies of character. That's really the problem with so many liberals. Yeah, they're they're they're great at you know, great at multi variable calculus, and they have big vocabularies and they've checked all the right boxes to go the right institutions. Um, but they're all I gotta listen to Faucia. You know, there's just

there's something lacking. There's some core courage that is absent in the in the rural mentality and the liberal mindset. Obviously not for everybody, but it's a common thing. And anyway, here's this guy talking about the great bully, Andrew Cuomo. That's fascinating, Nicole. You know, if you looked at the first nine or eight years of his career in the government's office, you would be hard pressed to find any official in the state of voicing any public criticism of

this man. People were afraid of him. He held a grudge. He was very smart, he was very effective, and if you crossed him he would pay you back. There are a lot of politicians in New York who can tell you off the record about a similar conversation that they've had with him over the years, and more than a

few reporters. So the fact that this is coming out, that there are lawmakers in his own party who feel compelled and empowered to speak out and challenge him, is itself a fascinating development and one that points to the intensity of this moment in this crisis and front of the concerns people at which I think they're legitimate about how the governor handled the nursing home debts in the middle of a pandemic. So he's actually a bully. Everybody

knows it. He's always been a bully. He's a bad guy, and he was allowed to get away with this nursing home catastrophe because Democrats lack well we're just saying lack internal character. The Democrats in charge were scared of this guy. They didn't like him. And look, he's just the governor of New York. I mean, I know that's that's some authority in one state. But he's not. This isn't Genghis Khan.

He's not going to show up and burn down your whole village and impale everybody on stakes like, calm down, right, not that big a deal, but terrified of him, terrified of Governor Cuomo. Oh okay, I thought he was a hero. I thought we should all tear up about what a great job he did defeating the menace of COVID. You mean that was all b ass? Huh? You mean that was all nonsense? Yeah, but the media took took some time to figure that out. Wasn't easy for them to

get to that point. And what had to happen here was that Donald Trump had to lose. First notice that it's twenty twenty one and we're finding out how many enormous lies were told in twenty twenty in order to make sure that Joe Biden would win the election. Whatever they had to say, whatever they had to do, they were willing to do. And sadly that dishonesty's paid off for them so far. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast. To get

the latest from Buck at buck Sexton dot com. Well, I think there's two issues. One is how do we get them back. I think the good thing that President Biden has done is he's pushing. He's pushing, he's asking the right questions, he's setting deadlines, and he's mobilizing agency like the CDC to issue guidance, guidance that then Senator Kamala Harris and I called for back in the summertime.

The other part of this, though, that I think we're not planning enough, is about what's going to happen when they do all go back to school. And that's where Senator Michael Bennett from Colorado and I have authored a letter to the Department of Education pointing out to them that we can't just put kids back in school as if they're learning and social and emotional development has not been severely interrupted. And this problem is particularly acute with

regard to math and science education. So it's a workforce issue and a workforce development issue as well. Always be on guard for libs who want to hide in an argument in undue complexity. Right. I've always told you to beware, be wary of bureaucrats who hide in the flabby folds of the bureaucracy. And nobody's really accountable for anything, and

nobody really makes any actual decision. But somehow the bureaucracy does make decisions as a whole, and they can be really bad and have a negative impact in a lot of people's lives. When whenever you're hearing any Democrats these days talking about school reopen you'll notice it just turns into you know, Biden. First of all, this is this is representative Katie Porter, and you know what she's saying

here is absurd. Biden's not pushing for anything. You can just say, opened the schools full stop, and then he pushing would be Hey, guys, we can't look like we're owned by the teachers unions at the expense of kids, because that's what's true. We can't have that. It looks bad. So open the schools now, please. I'm I'm the leader of the party. I'm Joe Biden. I'm Joe Biden. I'm the leader of the party. Man I yell o, yell,

I read half a properer. Start to get tired. It's time to feed the ducks and anyway, he could really push them, but he doesn't. He does it. Uh the whole it's really complicated. We can't just put kids back in school, as Katie Porter says, wrong, you can because plenty of schools have already done it. They've already done it. It's fine. This is why there's no argument. There's there's no discussion anymore. This is just people who are just

babbling babbling. This is COVID anxiety and teachers union power grab combined. That's all it is. But what about what about what no open the schools, all of them, all across the country. Isn't it remarkable when you when you think about, it's right there. For Joe Biden, it's right there. All he has to do is get Democrats to stop being crazy. Agree that once you're vaccinated, there's no no basis to make you social distance or lockdown anymore or

or mask up. That's that's that's completely unreasonable. And agree that, you know, once cases get down to less than five thousand a day, whatever it is across the nation and continued downward trajectory, you know we're gonna just be back to normal. Everybody, go back to your lives. The explosion of capital, investment, activity, travel, wrestling. I mean, I don't know about you, guys. I am just like ready to live life. And it's it could be amazing. I mean,

you could have a feeling of American Renaissance. Right now, after being just locked away for a year, what came? What was the decade after the Spanish fluence, the Spanish influenza, Well what came. That's the Roaring twenties. Remember there was parties and music and people living and loving and laughing. And I know I sound like I'm doing a movie trailer, but you get what I'm saying. All they have to do is just stop worshiping at the false idol of Fauciism and we could all have that, and we can

have it. I mean, if I were in charge, I would say, honestly, if I were Joe Biden, and I mean if I were a Democrat, I mean, obviously, if I were in charge of bucks X, and I'd say, this is all crazy. No more of this. Vaccinate people, Yes, you're on everyone. Make your own decisions about social distancing and masking. Be as safe as you think you need to be. Stay home if you want to stay home. But no more rules, no more mandates. Certainly not the

federal level. I mean, I know he can't control everything in the state, but I would push the states to entirely open up too. I'd say, at a minimum, you got to be as open as Florida at a minimum. Everybody and anyone who's not doing that as absurd. But even if I was Joe Biden, I'd say by May it's over, America reopens. But they won't because they're crazy. This is bucks first thoughts, the news you need to

get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure you subscribe on the iHeart ASP or wherever you get your podcasts. And then it also depends on what you mean by normal. Do you mean what does some form of normality mean? Well, obviously we have very stringent public health measures in two Now if you're going to ask, is what about getting back to a situation where you can have theaters that might be able to have below capacity, that restaurants, indoor dining can be happening, but with moderately

diminished capacity. That's going to be somewhere between the fall and the end of the year. If you say, no, no, no no, wait a minute, I really want to know when it's going to get to us close to normal that you almost don't know the difference between what it was before. Maybe you're going to still have to wear masks. That likely will be as the President said, by the end of the year. By Christmas, you still wear a mask still Christmas. This little lunatic says, what still wear

masks through Christmas? So if this year, folks, and let me tell you something you think they're really going to tell you in mid December? Okay, everybody, take your masks off. What have I been telling you? If they get their way, you will be under mask mandates in blue states and in federal federally controlled areas. That means airplanes, that means any federal government property. You will be under a mask mandate until the summer of twenty twenty two. That's what

we are heading for. I know these cowards. I know these idiots. I know what they're gonna do. Now. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that, because enough people are just gonna say there's basically no real risk of COVID out there once enough people are vaccinated. This is crazy. We're not going to do this anymore. The only way this ends is mass public non compliance, or you can wait until the summer of twenty twenty two. Those are those are your options. You can have mass non compliance

or you wait till summer twenty twenty two. Basically, let me put it this way. When we get to the point where I can walk through my lobby in New York City and some jackass who watches too much MSNBC, who said, who pulls out his phone and video taste because this book sucks that he's not worth a mass. He's literally putting lives in danger until every other person around him would be like, hey, man, stop being an idiot. Like he doesn't have COVID, He's probably already been vaccinated.

No one's died of COVID in New York who wasn't over ninety in the last month, Like, calm down until that happens. This keeps going okay until that happens. This continues on. It's just the nature of the mass hysteria we're going through. And and notice even when when Fauci's talking about this, what do you mean by normal? I mean, what does normal even mean? You know, it's almost luck if you were to ask a little Bill Clinton, You're like, hey,

what's normal? It's like, I don't know. I mean for some people, normals like you know, staying home on a Friday night, eating a pizza, watching a movie. For me, normalst like watching one of those all lady mud wrestling competitions at a bar where they've also got one of those mechanical bulls, and all the ladies, I don't know if they've got bikinis on or something. But that's normal, I mean, right, Normal can be a whole bunch of different things. Normal can be whatever you say it is.

What we mean is no more lockdown, tyranny, no more mitigation mandates, none of this. That's normal. Normal means life the way we lived it. While fifty thousand people a year we're dying from the flu, and we were like, look, you know you're gonna leave your life. No one can guarantee you safety. The flu is out there. Do your best. See what happens. I had a good friend from the media business a few years ago die of the flu a couple of years ago. It can happen, die swine flu,

you know, but we didn't. We don't shut down. I mean, it was a terrible, tragic story. It was a heartbreaking to all the people that knew were really well. But you you look at whether society is willing to accept that things like things like flu debts are going to happen. The answer was yes. But with COVID. We've set up this completely unrealistic expectation that we're going to get to a place where no one has to worry at all

about this. And you know how they're going to keep this going because the case load is going to keep going down and down. More and more vaccinations, the caseload is going to go down and down and down, and then you know what, they're going to start talking about the new variants. So what's going to happen? And I'm telling you please listen to me because I know that this is I know that they're going to try this.

I don't know if they'll be successful. But as the case is declined nationwide from COVID nineteen, which is already down, they're already down seventy percent in the last month from the peak. I mean, if this was a stock, you'd be if you know, if you had your life savings in this as a stock and you look at the trend, you'd say, oh my gosh, I'm going bankrupt, right, I mean, it's it's just going down, down, down, And this is

great news. Why isn't there more excitement about this? Why isn't Joey, Why aren't you seeing people on CNN, the lead story should be COVID cases down seventy percent. Guys, this is great, this is great. We're really moving, We're really moving in the right direction. I haven't seen that. I keep seeing stories about how, you know, maybe you got a quadruple mask. You know, maybe you gotta put

on eight masks. What now we're gonna double mask now when cases are down seventy percent from the peak already, now they're telling us to do this. They just they just want to control. They can't help it. Have you ever been micromanaged by a boss. It's one of the worst things that you can go through an employment. It's actually, in a lot of surveys, the number one reason that a person will leave a job. It's not the pay, it's not the hours, it's not the work itself. It's

their first line manager. The quickest way to destroy somebody's destroy somebody's will to show up for a job is to just bother them on every little thing. Do this, do that, make this change? Make that just micro management is toxic. It's it's it's the you know, it's the rancid, the rancid pete, a piece of you know, red meat that falls falls right in the center of your soup from the refrigerator, right as you're a bad That's what

micro management is. You go, oh, man, that's gross. I can't eat this now, you know it's it's the it's the crusty band aid in your hamburger. There you go and you just find you go, ah, micro man, I know that was gross. Sorry, some of you are probably eating. Uh. Micro management is awful. Why do people do it? Why do people do it? Um? There there are a few reasons. One is the false belief that one can fully control the another person to the point where you can make

them perfect. Parents do this to kids too, right. Parents are hyper critical. Parents are just so destructive to kids. I mean, I've seen it, I've been around it. I remember when I was a kid, I had some friends whose parents were just you know, always on them, always on them, and and it creates its own real anxiety disorder in a sense. You know, nothing's ever good enough,

nothing's acceptable. But if they think that, if they just keep on poking, if they keep on prodding, if they keep on telling do this, do this, do this, they'll achieve something better and they'll get credit for it. Right,

they will benefit from this. That's one reason. But then there's also maybe an even more deep seated reason for why people like to micro manage, to dictate to just to make to make everything about you something they can tinker with and change and alter and fix and just poke and poke and poke, the same reason why people kind of like bullying. People like to tell other people what to do. People like power. They like that sense

you do this because because because I say so. You do this because I'm in a position to make you do it. And there's an addiction among the Democrat mentality in America, among the collectivists left the Democrat Party to make people do stuff. They want to be a part of the team that gets to tell everybody what they can do about everything. And it's and it's a psychological addiction. The same way that bullies at turn out like bullying. This whole thing about oh, bullies are just insecure us.

No bullies like it. And that's why you actually do have to punch them in the mouth. Sometimes. It's the truth for all the kids listening. The bullies don't get tired of bullying you. They don't feel bad about it. Actually makes them feel better. They like bullying. They enjoy it. That's why you gotta punch them in the mouth. That's why all the dad's out there, teach your kid honestly, if they're not that cordinted or strong, palm strike is a really way to go, really good way to go

as well. I'm just saying. My uncle's in law enforcement when I was much younger, showed me we practice palm strikes many a time. They don't look at they don't look as cool, you don't feel as manly. Definitely gets the job done. But anyway, bullies enjoy bullying, and people

enjoy micromanaging. They like it, they're addicted to it. And these democrats right now, for people of that mentality who are also in charge, who who like power in the first place, they've just it's like they've been awash in this newfound dictatorial authority. They don't want to let this go. They don't want things to go back to normal, where you get to just remember the old America, the pre COVID America, where you still sometimes I mean, your words

you can't say, and things you can't do. But like at the end of the day, you could kind of stick up your middle finger and be like I'm sorry. This is still America. You know, remember that America has been gone for a year and there are a lot of people who don't want it to come back. And that's what that that's driving a lot of the mentality around COVID and the lockdowns because they they're going to do things like say, what's normal. What's normal? That means

life before COVID. That's what normal means. Fauci, you're idiot. We all know what it means. Mask up till the end of the year. This guy's going to try to tell you to mask. When COVID cases nationwider in the month month a month in the low thousands, it's three hundred and thirty million people in America, he'll still mark,

here's your prediction market down. We'll have ten thousand COVID cases in a month, and we'll have that on average, let's say June, July, August, which would be by the way, that would be great that the cases of drops because members has a ninety nine point eight percent survival rate. So do the math. Ten thousand cases you basically have, you know, one in a thousand people die from COVID.

It means you're gonna have a you know, ten people a month are gonna die from COVID at something like That's that is not far off, and I know it's gonna feel like a miracle. It's gonna be amazing and I can't wait. We will get there, it will happen.

But while that's happening, it's still gonna be like, you know, the new variants, the new variants are out there, and you know, you got a mask in case the new variant is like really new, and like it's like the two point zero version with all the FireWire port and all the you know, the biggest screen, more expensive. Of course, the new version of the COVID is gonna be you know, you bet a special order that one. That's what we're

heading for. It's going to be the new variants. That's what they're gonna tell us, watch and see and please get ready to join me in a movement of mass non compliance soon. I can't tell you when. We got to wait for the right time, but there's going to have to be. I'm just not doing this bullcrap anymore. I'm just not going to do it. And if you're going to arrest me or find me, you go for it. But I'm just not going to comply
