stung spread of go bid, argue the! U S: government can afford it cool people
from a German. Yes, he
do. This was that this was the feds idea. Remember the FED is the one that walked in to the oval office and said, Mr President: here's how we do it and they had already modeled. Strangely a complete shut down land they said will have a v shaped recovery. It will be great course of e shape. Recovery has not happened,
they're saying that, because of the president, he just didn't. Do it right so now mister
Oscar says we gonna really shouted down yet for six. Six more, we shut everything down till lockdown of restaurant Mars and movie theatres in any and on essential business, absolutely everything and then, and then once we get that case count down as soon as we get our testing can take over as well as our contact tracing
that will actually be enough to know it afterwards. So just more harm locked down for a month and a half
gay just off any of the businesses that are still open will just right and they will start a whole new thing. It's ok,
lukashka areas. Is
remember what he sounds really familiar
yeah, ok, so he is day me Jimmy diamonds, protegee. Ok, you might remember from that my simulation campaign, and now
now who he was the guy who oversaw tarp for the? U S: government wow, nice, so he's a guy that gave us tarp and oversaw tarp and now he's
the chairman of the Federal Reserve strangely in Minneapolis, which is really fans,
stick- and here I mean you know this- is this- is the reset
The Federal Reserve wants to reset the entire globe. They are their angling to be the central Bank of the world
and they want to reset our economy. Our money and its
it needs all out in the open, its there's, no conspiracy about it. In fact, the economic forum is having a big forum on this too. To put it all in the place in January, but they
have to have the United States hobbled to be aid,
to do it. That's what's up
running, and this will hobble Us Remy were already hobbled. This just gotta puts us out of our misery. Doesn't it another six week locked down what what
happens to businesses, so many restaurants of closed around us, where, where we live
the three of us that I I just can't believe how many are gone permanently already. It's amazing to making our movie theater that's near us still hasn't reopened
I mean I don't? I don't know how you survive
after five months or six months of zeroing condone on our know. How that have you too? I don't want you you're, seeing now a lot of these businesses that at the beginning, were able to weather
no, the storm- maybe I don't know about you guys willing. I have been on Instagram account where I just beyond: baseless Paulo Alot of like local businesses and restaurants and little places that we go and just every day you turn the thing on there's another one saying it's gone ride really hard. We usually lasted for months, but this is it work, Shatner doors in a week yeah. It's really friggin depressing terrible, because I mean how long can you stay open when you just do and take out, even if they allow you to be open and be nice restaurants not gonna, go take out, I mean I have
It's not gonna happen very often, I had hardly noticed now get at home that way, and it would be nice. I don't know if the government who, as you know, who decided to do all these shutdowns, would
maybe it's it's. I wasn't a mystery that this July thirty first date was coming. Was it did the calendar like switch? Was it like? It is a big like haze as to how many weeks until July, thirty first now you're actually refers. All these programmes are run. I guess we're going to see what happens. We're go see what happens like I'm, not a big fan of spending money from the government, but when you and the government comes in and says, hey, you guys are all going to shut down and forcing force you to do it. This is more like a known and an eminent domain situation there just taking your business for a certain amount of time, and that is very much in the constitution.
Did that. That would be an appropriate use of of of this sort of of spending. I don't know
anyway, but still you can't scheme
every business owner out of their business, and I then I also drawing at the deadlines. So now none of the money is there for them.
How dare you are not doing it and they are not doing that to all businesses there. The big businesses are totally fine and then being businesses. Their stocks are going up. First, strangely, no apparent reason other than the FED is printing money and
buying those stocks. So those companies can can continue amazonian Amazon or the other
would follow. Amazon is Amazon, is different Amazon and anybody who is on the internet, like that, I'm talking about.
You know what about g
G is not something that you buy on the internet. Maybe I hear drier here and there, but it's like I want to build an airplane. Why Isn t suffering?
Jeez style is going up. Why? Because they bury hose things to live right, isn't why Rhine that's right said: Doktor Frankenstein, the the FED is buying the stock market. The FED is baling all of these people out. They are their bribing them. Basically, there bribing them. Look. You are going to survive John.
Play ball with us, you'll survive and there
picking the winners and losers. It
obscene. What is
that? What is happening right now, it's absolutely obscene and the ones who are going to pay the biggest price or us. This is going to go down as the largest theft in the
the history of planet earth they
have taken these small businesses,
can their livelihoods away taken their their wealth away? They have nothing left, nothing left
Are they getting the loans? No? No! No,
these, the FED opening up the coffers and making sure that their fully finance. No, no,
Do they see the yelp report that they put out about the restaurants in June? They put it reports that forty one percent of the restaurants on yelp that
were temporarily closed are going to be permanent closures. I've already one percent. I believe this month, it's up to fifty five percent
she more than fifty five percent of all the restaurants on Yelp are not go. I mean that's an incredible number right in restaurants bought for whatever reason adjust the most visible part of this, and we all talk about regimes mustard and bar like up like that, are guys in New Jersey, you're trying desperately to do their business and keep getting arrested, business boarded up and even in an outbreak zone reality in the book. Words whole put it back up here and got arrested again. I just it's unbelievable. It's amazing too, because there that's an area where there is not even an ongoing outbreak like they're, still closing them down. Even when there's not anything going on,
You know. Some of this is just you can tell obviously just below easily crazy governors grabbing power in and yet now it is. It is that it is the Democrats,
No exactly what's going on. This is a well orchestrated plan. It is
what it's doing its shoving people into corners where
when their desperate they
either we just go along with any plan, or they will rise up, look what's happening in penniless county right now. I think I know it's a panelled county.
Arizona the sheriff in Arizona has said. I missed gonna make a citizen posse
and I'm allowing all the residents to be deputized? What is that too? But is that?
that's something I've been saying, is gonna come for a long long time.
You never let a crisis go to waste right and there's laughingly. You utilizing philosophy here right.
And this is the bubble effect. This is citizens we,
no recourse, no
Of course there go,
to their lair sheriffs and the share are doing right by the people, but there's
this forms a justice now
there's the justice, it's gonna come from the out of control governor and
the police force and then those citizens who have been deputized-
and and there they are acting in the name of the sheriff and they're saying nope not around here you're, not gonna, be doing that around here.
I mean this- is the makings of a civil war and, and I d
I believe for a second that, though
the people on the Buber laughed and those people really connected those
those governors that are really really connected. You you, you can guarantee.
The governor and the Mayor of Seattle, and and what's your name in Michigan,
Cuomo. They know,
What this is really all about you can't
do this and expect people to
behave themselves expect people just to take it. Oh, I
I bankrupt million of fifty percent of all of the businesses
in these small towns, they're gonna be fine.
There's there's nothing there's nothing. This is that you
Look at the the the doctors
they're, saying are is happening to children to children,
The CDC just came out and said, schools must open. So
schools, opening, Myers,
opening the c b C. Let's, like science, dictate their saying, you must open the schools,
because there is a real mental health issue that is
acting all of our children.
Nobody seems to care about that at. Why ask gloomy so imparted like they're gonna, be struggling through this injustice bumbling around like there's already at least open up schools, and nothing was in Indiana and already day too
You ve got like you know a few kids testing positive for covets, another shutting down again sketchy think about what this is gonna, be if you, if you have kids in school, which I do it's gonna be
an enclosed and open and clothes, and opening closer to forget this out, and did you see the county commissioner in Montgomery County Maryland? Who said that the?
public schools can can reopen and and then you can go physically to school, but the private schools can't
Who are you? Why would Gabby? I'm sorry? I had an update on the governor and I'll. Do it
the governor the governor yesterday yesterday afternoon overturned it and they threw you yeah. Thank goodness I mean what what kind of world or you live in in. Where that
could have still want best be with what we have not talked to too long
all day. Guy forgot used to impact
go on at me, pretty hard it Bobby Sixty hour by hour, left by
as bigeye biogas. I another, but enormous respect for you guys all you have accomplished in to accomplish in you know
I have one thing in this: if you don't mind, point of privilege
You know it's funny. I totally get that
friends of mine, a conservative friends of mine that doubted
the Donald troubled dominoes conserve totally get it.
The donated Democrats donated workable again said: SARA Hilary was at his wedding or whatever, but I've known
the twenty five years. Why don't I
putting my entire credibility on the lie when I told them that I
But I can understand on paper one people would take. Always you really pro life zero
pro Israel is really
committed to original us on the corner? And I think it's come true.
And we have a slight does really what you ve always been so kind to me. Let me use your studio for how long offer free
just amazingly draft general. Thank you think I'd like to reclaim my time. Please I'm reclining time. Please you
you have been on the bandwagon, as as I have been that we are going down into really dangerous times, and I am amazed at how far we have slipped if it wasn't for Donald Trump. I think we would be toast by now
Donald Trump loses this election.
Don't think America exists, the the coordination
all of these things that is happening around the world, and here in Amerika, is
rageous obvious, and yet very few people are reporting on it. The lever
You know. I used the line, it almost
Daily Donald Trump third cancer
don't want to teach
the bottom of the book when and how is it that I always hear loudly at three previous boats the last one ten years ago, I was hated my picture on a book. I hated, and I really want to get this right. It says in Latin. My working title right in this book was live, free or America dies
What you just said is a thousand percent right on the line,
pardon me: they're scared to death
in ninety one days. If, if this
stated Biden agenda
is implemented. Then that is
Ok, now he's plagiarized even Bolshevik Bernice.
Socialist socialism off.
Word for word he's
see trillions of dollars to AOL sees insane green new deal in the press
This will also eliminate the life blood of the world's economy, oil, gas, coal,
the tens of millions of jobs, hyping grew career, jobs were fellow Americans and
we finally became energy independence. Independent in the world's largest oil produced. That's huge!
but on every single issue, everyone from the ports
you'll find no raise taxes. Its amnesty is the United Sanctuary States of America is
appeasement. Why were often Joe did with the mullahs in around with a hundred fifty billion
Ben, no greater front Israel, the Donald Trump I shall I don't even knowledge. Those policies are
they'll be no varying abiden, the way
people like me and you you
Barack Obama. I better brought about little a lotta heap, preventing Morocco by a lot and
the rest of the media when the media's Sakharov there they are
nothing but propaganda.
Things radical, democratic, socialist and
are cheering they they wake up every second, every day, hating this president, that look. Let's
free, coronal errors, and you already talk about that. That creep
record, low unemployment,
Joe and morale, never dreamed of creating
president.
Those just a couple of right,
so we just talked about on yelp, fifth
percent of the restaurants on Yelp
or now gone closed forever
what is the plan? The federal reserve is saying that now we have to shut down for another hard six weeks.
This is insanity. Sean- and I know the president knows that Wall Street doing well because are being bailed out with their stocks by the Federal Reserve. Where is the president and how is he going to hell?
the small business person who is really struggling,
small businesses, the heart and soul, the country you weak.
Gee, I'm not an option. Now the cdc by weak and a half ago put out there lay
restrictions and what they said Anne,
totally, but those I live in a citizen,
affectionately random showed that when this was a shift show,
at the centre of this virus in your
and I was here- and I want you to remember what they like thirty six hours, eighteen thousand new cases in oil and broken my friends.
In hospitals very bad. The country demanded the shutdown ok,
we. Nobody knew what we were dealing with. Everybody got everything wrong. The better. The experts got it wrong. The models were wrong.
So based on the little we knew because China lie to the world assault could have been prevented. Would strive me insane, I'm so angry, but
to go to a down would be a disaster. Now we learn certain things. We learn
like, for example, what the Santa stayed in he's getting the hammer because they have the second wave down there.
When in immediately in and mobilized every single agency in the state of larger and they bring
did the people in the villages, every nursing, home every long term care facilities.
Get a lot of taxes. Their total death toll doesn't match
just one of the worst days in Europe, but as we learn
We do not protect the elderly compromise immune systems-
those that have underlined conditions. Ok,
The question is about the economy. Now
shut it down. The CDC says: if beware mass border six weeks, we will eradicate the virus.
Early mask advocates advocate

for another day, you just just caches it. So
restaurants, its harder. I I'm a little worried me. I have not got a definitive answer about whether or not it is if this can get an air conditioning systems
If we do that, coupled with and again, this is only a short period of time that Americans, I would ask the momentarily to do, but,
we are. We made so much progress with a therapeutics yeah modernity of asked. Rosanna went on final
phase trials of a vaccine and there may people don't wanna, take it. Nobody,
get forced to take that didn't wanna take it, they should NAFTA, and but the
after we ve been able to break down the sequence of the virus in five six, we
and could have a potential

mine blowing a my blowing historical break through a monumental proportions. Business is the worst pandemics and nineteen eighty soul.
That would help now
yet all of those businesses back
up and running again, I doubt it. You know you, my father.
There was a waiter on weekends. You know trying to send me my sisters, the Catholic Schools ice
in touch. I only go to like for restaurants and mom.
Ass, friends with all the guys that no more state in touch with all of them throughout the pandemic,
right to help them just mentioned. The names on on air might security. I goes you
stupid, and I said I care more about my friends: I'm not worried about people knowing I go to my feet, restaurants, so it's tough David Gap,
every single restaurant vows and outdoor seeding. Usually in Inland Ireland, for example, they all states,
take out driver. Take out that,
then booming- and I heard
people, you know what, even though you can't go out if a restaurant just go, you know go anyway, don't pick up food support, you
one community, local business, so that their there, and, I think,
it's gonna, be there are fewer
I think it's gonna be a little bit of a discipline by the american people. I do like mass social distancing, you don't want to get somebody's Mama grandma said Anne,
they were always is you know some time in the fall
Guess I think pretty?
I feel pretty certain very optimistic about that, and that would be american goodness greatness sin, innovation and ingenuity it. No, let us pass that's what we love about freedom, blank as what patent stood a little about. This is the best one by programme play France and offer radio show host lawyer tv analysts and founder and lead writer of out kick I'm in
The guy is hogging all the jobs in America and its pissing me off Clay Travis welcome to the programme. How are you
I'm doing. While how are you guys forget Avonlea, you bet you bet:
now I know when you think sports, you immediately think Glenn back button. There are some people in the EU listening audience that are not is good. It sports talk, as I am, of course, so feel free,
talk down to me, clay
We are talking about a couple of things. First of all, these companies that are lecturing us. Yes, pm
the NBA that are lecturing us about how to live our lives, end and social justice, and then we find out NBA China. The
academies over there?
They were horror, shows and everybody knew about it.
Yeah? It's it's in it, I'd of hypocrisy. I think for people out there who are aware, the Ba in particular, wants to brand itself as a socially justice wait Lee and they want to convince
everybody that if you're not supporting the Ba Europe were born,
human were being unable at they put social justice messages on their jerseys. They put it literally on a cork. Nobody is standing for the national anthem on every single gay made,
triple had her there of social justice activism yet site.
Pay immediately. They are cashing checks for hundreds of millions or
millions of dollars from China in what I'm sure you agree with me is the closest thing to modern, not
yet, and I know that based government, but if you were trying to it,
our joy to modern society. Look there there aggressively taking over Hong Kong.
What I want the South China, the had. Certainly there pulling books literally out of libraries. They are fundamentally opposed to basic human rights, the first amendment to religious freedom, and they have concentration camps that south very similar.
The authoritarianism that we saw from Nazi Germany it. So I think what I'm asking, what
People out there who are reasonably intelligent are asking is wait a minute I'll give you simultaneous
a lecture America and try to tear down a barricade values while bidding.
Need a China. You say if we shut up a global, its racist than America, but if China pays you enough,
They you'll shut up a dreadful about much worse abuses that are going on in their country and, frankly, I think the average American
it is up to their eyeballs hypocrisy can't. Therefore, so
do you think about the ratings that are that just tanking right now. I heard that last time that people were so
covered in the ratings we're going down, but it will, it didn't, seem to be actually accurate.
This time
just read the NBA and Major League baseball ratings or in the tank is
True, and is this happening because people are sick of it? Well go in there,
a fading, sorted interplay, that's going on right now! So for people who have been paying attention, we are dealing with the wildest August of sport that we ve ever seen and they started Dude Eastern and go till midnight every day,
in the NBA be at age. Our major league baseball golf as well in the story. Light so far has been there's a huge tat up demand for sport,
to return, and additionally there they massive lip I'll, we saw with NASCAR, we saw with major league baseball. We saw with you at,
we saw with Pga related events can be aided, gala. I in fact would be happier
actually went down a little bit on average is right out of the gate, and since then the numbers have continue to decline, so
whereas every other legal particular saw this massive uptake and interests, the NBA has bitch,
bidding or whoa there. Accurate sees an interest before they are.
Shut down at all for people who do you think what that me? I think it's because of the policy for their there
very few people. I believe you gain by deciding to be political with a world of sports, by which I mean there are very few people who say: oh I'm not going to watch this sport because there isn't enough politics mixed in with right. There are very few people who say that most people glint they want to get a beer, they want to kick their feet up and they want to US
the serious things in life. That's why they watch sports right. They don't want to watch Fox news or events in DC or CNN. It in
So those are whatever out. They don't want to think about the corona virus. They wanted just have a beer, kick their feet up and escaped to Syria.
Think that why, for a very long time, back in the day when it,
but he got newspapers. The sports sector was called the toy check. The white great, like even as an adult,
you tell a little bit better as you opened the sports page, because it's a recitation have been successes, whereas very often in the rest of his newspaper is a recitation of beds, failures right and no. I believe that the people that you are gaining are miniscule to non.
This is by being political, and your losing a time in my argument has been glad that that, because many people out there think of the average, it viewer
as a sixteen year old ought Instagram
in reality, the average in behavior is a fifty five year old guy at the bid where I had that guy well, it voted for Donald Trump. You know there are billions of people, if not
The values that overlap between we, the ape man who may be republican or have voted for Donald Trump, and so when you're telling those p-
hey, you're, awful human being. Well. Why
the world what I want to support your league with my free time, when there are a lot of other things that I get used to do it's dead,
it's interesting clearly was in what are known as the United States of America. I've always kind of the opinion that you were going to put up with a lot of stuff to wash.
I mean I as an Eagles fan of Carson, Whence joints ISIS tomorrow, probably still watching right, but there is a limit right and I feel like I just watching the NBA. The past few days, the limb its constantly in your face, every interview is about what they think about the national anthem. It's as if these games mean absolutely nothing, and that is not a way to sell your sport,
Here's the larger context,
we'll say, like hey, you need to use your platform, were I to advance better cod is and all the different think what I
oh my radio show this morning and I hope that the night Nationwide Clock sports radio boarding show was, I said, hey
murders are up. According to yesterday's front page Wall Street Journal twenty four percent in defending the largest cities at this country. I think there
the strong argument to be made that the protests
the NBA archest alienating yours. I
you can make an argument that they are making a barrack out less safe or the people that they claim that they care about the boughs, because there are hundreds, if not thousands of
people who are dying in inner cities added cities at America today, because the NBA,
and other sports League have effectively whether they want to acknowledge it directly or not decided to demonize law enforcement and make the police the ETA
of their league and the enemy out their country when, in reality we never talk about the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of lives that police
say that every single year in this country and so
would you don't let go. We do their jobs, because your arguing they're all awful human beings based on the actions of a handful that deserve to be proud
fuck. You too, I think you can make an argument that not only is the NBA making it worse for themselves and their own sport, which is at least a business that people can respond to. It
strong argument that the NBA is actually making things worse in America right now and leading you more death that there would be if they had in fact just play the games
So how does this? How does this play out? I mean when you're, looking
this I mean, I think, isn't it
who breezes still apologizing this morning. He still behind
microphone apologizing,
When you have people just scared out of their wits that they're gonna
is everything if they don't abide. How do you get this to be changed?
what happened for air, I I believe in markets right
capitalist. I know that some time that a bad word to use in Amerika today are not here believe that that ultimately pocketbook decisions, decay, everything right and so
what we're doing get out kick is we're throwing punches back we're like the only people out there like Ben. I like sport, but I've lost my? U no sort of Europe's values there
You go redoubt, kick it and you can listen to us and worked really anxious back at what we think are bad arguments. But yesterday I had one of my partners that out Kika dot com, Jason Whitlock. On with the who spent aspect, I think I think the most talented sportswriter
Erika and he's got a wail of a call about its up on our side today about George Lloyd, it
and the challenges it is brought to bear on exports of the poor decisions that are being made, but he said- and I think this is true- and I think if not
history for sportswriter, with a lot of people
out there, who one hundred percent gets agree with the direction that sports are going. Even
Our support media industry, but they're like me
I got a job that pays me. Seventy five or eighty thousand dollars a year. I got a kid in college. I got a kid debts that I'm hoping to put a college sometime soon.
And it's just not work- be rocking the boat. To point out that I disagree with words such as
diverse, now work, you have the wrong opinion. You lose your job, so I think what is important is what
the everybody out there listening make their own decisions on a day to day basis about how they spent their free time, based on whether they feel like they are being respected or not, and whether
getting there dollar of enjoyment out of it or not. But too, I think you need to support people who are throwing punches back so that their becomes more of a marketplace idea.
And the world of sport going I'll. Give you an example. I wanted the kids who stood up when I think it gives you the young guy,
What they out, what the guy neighbour laughing eyes it right in.
Either Orlando MAGIC Player, very religious load, up toward the national anthem and
the great thing about why he did so the next day on board,
only he tore ACL playing or the Orlando magic. Jonathan Isaac is a date that same day, yes
yet one of their national radio shows put up a pole on Twitter. Was it's funny that the guy who didn't stand for the national
Wyatt Earp tore his acl. Well, they would never have done that if colic Capron head toward his
feel after Billy, it's become cool in the sports media to ridicule people if they have different political opinions that you deem to be it
Acceptable- and that is basically anything other than far left away. I think
that's alienating a huge portion of the american sporting Public and, as a result, we're not having an actual marketplace of ideas, but I think we need to fight back
I think the great thing about being a capitalist, the great thing about markets. It I'm not really a boycott guy, but I am up-
boy that if you watch a television show at you, ultimately, even if you you still enjoy watching it? If the shows
very good at he bore, go, find something that better. If you
ports they in your watch exports, and you, like you, know what I'm not getting as much enjoyment out at this is I used to go watch something else. Go golf yourself. Go play a sport yourself and
ultimately, when the dollar's dry up and with the audience dries up every day. You gonna take a step back and say man. What were we thinking
The decision that we base
