2:16 States about 1800 people in the United States die of heart disease every day at the height of the pandemic for the one thousandth time we are in the 3000 number three to four thousand a day dying we've now lowered that Mark by about tenfold and yet everyone is still telling you that you ought to panic and you never cease panicking we should freak out just keep freaking out forever now here is your quick reminder if you are vaccinated you certainly should not be freaking out at this point you should not be coming close to freaking out at this point Mark Levin who is one of the New York City Council Members very hawkish on shutdowns was promulgating I would say bad information during the early days of the pandemic well Mark Levine he tweeted out earlier and this is correct among 100 165 million Americans who have been vaccinated 99.9 percent have not tested positive.004 have been hospitalized.001 percent have

3:09 died this is correct if you are vaccinated the chances that you're going to die from this thing are exorbitantly low very very low and in any case the reality is that the Delta Spike that we are seeing right now which is real that Delta Spike has been mirrored in other countries and what we've seen in other countries that the spike goes away after a couple of weeks in the United Kingdom for example the British covid-19 cases are down by 33 percent over the past week according to Reuters quote Britain has reported 26 144 new cases of covid-19 government data showed on Saturday meaning the following cases between July 25th and July 31st stood at 33 compared with the previous seven days a further 71 people were reported as having died within 28 days of a positive test for covid-19 which means that there's been a slight increase in death but nothing that you would freak out about to the extent of shutting things

3:58 down or forcing Mass mandates on anyone and meanwhile over at the New York Magazine David Wallace Wells who again is not a right-wing of Rights the most hopeful and encouraging facts about the Delta surge are even harder to find in the media coverage the first is that thanks to widespread vaccination of the elderly however fast this disease spreads it will ultimately inflict a much much smaller death toll than earlier waves because vaccination has probably eliminated 90 or more of the country's total covid-19 mortality risk over the weekend we had 90 percent of people in the United States above the age of 65 who are vaccinated that is the subgroup most likely to die from covid so while you are seeing much higher numbers of hospitalizations hospitalizations in this case they do not result in death in the same way that they did in January when a lot of the people who are going to the hospital

4:40 were much older and much sicker to begin with right now you're seeing a lot of people who are hospitalized being between the ages of 20 and 40. that's not good but the ratio of those people to the number of people who are going to die is a much smaller number okay it's a much smaller number in terms of the number of people who are going to die out of the number hospitalized now than it was back in January also as Davis what David Wallace Wallace points out in the countries with roughly comparable vaccination rates to the United States The Surge has already peaked and begun a rapid decline suggesting that such a turn here is possible or even quite likely within a few weeks in the UK the Delta surge began in mid-may and peaked in mid-july in the Netherlands began at the beginning of July and has already peaked if the U.S followed the British trajectory our Delta surge which began about a month ago would Peak by

5:21 September 1st if it followed the Dutch course even sooner perhaps even imminently and while there still be maybe some rise in deaths in both the UK and the Netherlands given the lag between infection and ultimate outcomes in neither country have deaths reached even 1 15 of the level of the local Windsor surge in the UK they had almost as many new daily cases as they had had in January in the Netherlands even more so in other words when people show you the stats from Florida where you're seeing like record new cases yes that is among young and healthy people which means that a subset of those people will be hospitalized is a much smaller subset than it was when they were older and sicker and a smaller subset of those people will die and so right now when you look at at Florida and it's big numbers you're seeing the media prop up the the narrative by the way that Florida is is the worst place on Earth everyone is

6:05 dying in Florida I'm looking at the Florida death stats right now and the Florida death stats continue to be a little bit higher than they were but the seven day rolling average right now is 58 at the height of this pandemic the seven day rolling average this is back in both August and also in January seven-day rolling average was like 250. so the the rolling death rate right now is about one quarter to one-fifth of what it was at the height of the pandemic and it is also likely that we are already seeing many states Peak so what you're starting to see is all the people who are who are proclaiming mass mandates are going to claim early credit for for lowering the curve or for the or for the numbers peaking okay we're already starting to see a peak apparently and right now you can check out the charts and what you'll see is that state on state for example in Missouri you've already seen the r peep R is the number

6:54 of people who are being infected by each person who has covid it already peaked like a couple of days ago in Missouri in Nevada in Alabama in Florida if Florida is reaching its peak right now it's already starting to level off which means that in pretty short order just hold your horses guys in a couple of weeks the Delta variant Peak is probably going to be over at least in the states that have already had it now you may see another Delta variant peak in areas like New York why well one of the reasons is because in Florida right now it is extremely hot it's like 95 degrees and very humid everybody is going indoors we saw this last summer also remember the summer of panic last summer everyone in Florida is going to die look at the terrible numbers Georgia Texas Florida and yes California because California is really hot right now and then what we're likely to see is winter sets in is we're likely to see the

7:45 numbers go way down in Florida because everybody goes outside in Florida because it's really nice like 75 degrees and Breezy and then in New York where it gets really cold people are likely to go inside and this is likely to be the case for quite a while because if covet is still out there when people are indoors transmitting it to each other then likely those people are going to be in areas where they're indoors more often okay in Florida nobody's Outdoors right now because it's way too hot but in in New York everybody is outdoors because it's actually much nicer in New York right none of this ought to be a shock in other words nothing is new the the the situation you are seeing right now is that the virus is just more transmissible that's all should you be should this scare the hell out of you listen you should be more scared than you were earlier before Delta if you're unvaccinated because

8:29 you're more likely to catch it now right before it seemed like there were three options the three options were get vaccinated don't get vaccinated and don't get covered or don't get vaccinated and get coveted now the second option has been removed so basically you're going to get coveted or you're going to get the vaccine immunity comes one of two ways that is the likely possibility right now but what you're seeing from the media is outsized panic that is unjustifiable because they are attempting to push National Mass mandates and renewed lockdowns and also to blame again the blame of a floor like the media want this they desperately want this again the number of cases covid-19 cases in Britain already spiked and it's already on the downslope and yet you're still seeing pieces from CNBC saying things like Health experts fear unlocked England could become an incubator for new covered variants again

9:13 so long as covet exists on the planet there will be the possibility of new variants of covid just like every year there are new variants of the flu this is why the flu vaccine by the way is not nearly as effective as the covet vaccine thank God the variants of covet have responded to the vaccine in ways that the flu is really like a basket a viruses and so usually the flu vaccine is only like it's somewhere between 30 and 70 effective it really depends because basically the flu vaccine is developed by scientists they try and guess which variant of flu is going to be most likely to affect people some years they hit some years they miss with kovid thank God this vaccine has been extremely durable at preventing infection and hospitalization and death less so with infection now but certainly with hospitalization and death but the media are covering England as though England is going to be a petri dish it's

9:56 going to be a disaster we can't let they're always finding new excuses for why they can't just let you alone why they can't just let you live your life and the excuses suck they do okay I'm vaccinated I made a choice as an adult my wife is vaccinated my parents are vaccinated I encourage others to get vaccinated I've been doing so for months you made your choice too you had to live with it you're an adult as well but our Public Health experts are constantly looking for new ways to lock you down new ways to control you and that is because they have made an unstated goal with regard to covid their goal is completely unrealistic it's nonsense everyone in the scientific Community knows it's nonsense they have made an unstated goal of zero covet there will not be zero covet it was not going to happen last year it's not going to happen this year it's not going to happen ever and the reason that it is not going to

10:43 happen ever is because unlike smallpox which killed one-third of people it affected and so everybody had the incentive to get vaccinated and unlike other diseases which transmit a lot more slowly this one transmits super fast and also is more deadly than the flu for the unvaccinated but it's not so unbelievably deadly like the Bubonic plague or something that it requires everybody to get vaccinated it's also very age striated okay so what that means is that it is likely that this will continue to be a seasonal virus for basically as long as we are now alive okay so that every scientist agrees on this by the way there are zero serious scientists who agree that zero covet is a serious goal and yet our Public Health experts because all they do day in and day out I understand they have one mission and this is why single variate analysis single variable analysis sucks if anybody ever tells you that they

11:32 understand the world based on a single variable you know they're lying the world is more complex than that but Public Health experts have one single variable they focus in on and that is preventing death they don't care about your freedom they don't care about your economic Liberty they don't care about your Prosperity they care about you not dying okay well you in your life make balances on all these issues all the time you go out your front door every day knowing you could die you get in your car every day knowing you could die you go into the office knowing you could die you know the chances of that are really low and you also understand that the countervailing possibility of you sitting in your house and not making money and not engaging in the world and not enjoying your family and not enjoying your friends those possibilities suck and so you make those decisions every day you weigh all

12:11 various competing factors and then you live your life public health of experts they don't do that they don't care about any of those other issues they don't all they care about is quote-unquote preventing death and that makes them sound virtuous but actually what it makes them is horses with blinders on running directly into a tree because not important whether the tree is there or not right what's important is that they stay on the path and so what you end up with is this unstated assumption that they're going to get to zero coverage which of course is never going to happen it is not happening they will not be getting to zero covid it also leads them by the way to ignore all sorts of relevant data in pursuit of zero covet like for example they're taking this Province Town situation as though this ought to be indicative of Public Health for everyone else in Provincetown is the case the CDC

12:55 mentioned as how vaccinated people are passing this thing at extremely high rates and they're getting super infected there's only one problem with that which The Province Town is a wild statistical outlier in Provincetown 85 percent of the people who got coveted were male the reason that right there should tell you it's a statistical outlier why the reason is because Provincetown apparently over July 4th weekend was basically Gay Party Zone because Provincetown is very gay town and a lot of people according to gay rights experts were basically going up there and macking on each other it is very likely that you're willing to pass colored much more likely you're going to pass covet if you have a a cert even if you're vaccinated if you are swapping Spit with people then if you're not swapping Spit with people it's not the same thing as going to a restaurant or sitting six feet from somebody else

13:39 in an office in any case what this has led to Public Health establishment to do in their single variable analysis is to treat this as a renewed crisis in which everybody is going to die we'll get to that in just one second first let's talk about the best t-shirts on the market I'm talking about Cuts clothing okay so I threw out all my other t-shirts the only T-shirts I own except for sort of novelty t-shirts that I wear for all access except for those it's just cuts because Cuts is super comfortable it fits you fantastic five years ago Cuts founder Steve Borelli set out to create clothes for every occasion the Modern Man faces since then Cuts has become the Tesla of t-shirts hoodies polos sweatshirts and more from their signature buttery soft peacock pro tri-blend teas to their cozy hyperloop French terry fabric hoodies Cuts elevates clothing Staples with Cutting Edge fabric technology get ready stay

14:24 ready for any occasion with clothes that combine classic designs universally flattering fits and Next Level textile technology GQ Magazine calls the classic Pika Pro tribal NT the only shirt worth wearing and their hoodies are super duper comfortable as well cuts his premium with a purpose each piece crafted with Custom Engineered Fabric and a comfortable but without compromising on Timeless universally flattering style this month marks the cuts fifth anniversary and they're doing it big with two collection drops of product launch and a week-long special event honestly I love Cuts clothing I really do like I wear nothing but Cuts pretty much join the celebration get 15 off site wide by going to cutsclothing.com that is cutsclothing.com for 15 off and access to anniversary events all month longcutsclothing.com Ben alrighty so again panic panic everybody panic now I will say again the media coverage here is not

15:14 just what is driving the panel we get some media coverage in just one second but it is our Public Health establishment because they engage in one single factor analysis how do we prevent death and that is not how any human being lives their life if all you cared about was preventing death all you would do is eat vegetables and live in your house and go on the treadmill and that's it those are all the things that you would do every day and it would suck it would be terrible nobody lives their life this way and yet and yet our Public Health experts they say you know we have to treat this like a brand new virus no we 100 do not here's the NIH director Francis Collins saying this is indeed a brand new virus Delta is spreading we know it's extremely contagious and certainly in some parts of the country like Missouri Arkansas Louisiana uh it is reaching very high levels and we are now once again seeing case levels per day closing

16:11 in on a hundred thousand which we haven't seen since February so this is really a different virus than last year and everything we learned about covet a year ago you gotta sort of hit the reset button on now how we need to react to it no you don't for the vaccinated nearly nothing has changed from the unvaccinated the only thing that has changed is you're more likely to get it that's it those are all the things that we have learned about the Delta variants I just did that in less than 10 seconds and yet apparently according to our Public Health X because if they get to reset the clock they get to do this all over again and it's been so much fun for them you didn't know who Francis Collins was until this pandemic you didn't know who the hell Rochelle wolensky was no one had ever heard of Dr Anthony fauci outside of a very select Circle but now these people are on the cover of magazines now these people get to do

16:56 what they've always wanted to do which is lecture you bureaucrats love lecturing you unelected bureaucrats but this is the thing when you Define dictatorship folks we need to find dictatorship it is people who are unelected telling you what to do with your life without you having any control without you having any control over that thank God we have a federalist system where certain states are saying no to this but these people have dictatorial Tendencies for sure it's a Dr Francis Collins also said you know what he's recommending that business locations bar people who are not vaccinated now this is public health stupidity the reason this is public health stupidity really is because if you borrow people who are unvaxed from particular locations you'll have locations where everybody is vexed right but the facts are protected the backs are not dying from this in any sort of significant numbers at

17:42 all okay so what you're now doing is you are forcing all the unvaccinated to be in a place with each other do you understand how segregation works if you segregate one half of the population that is vaccinated and the other half of the population that is unvaccinated what is your goal here is your goal to prevent death among the unvaccinated because if you actually want to prevent death among the unvaccinated you have them hang out with the vaccinated right my whole family is vaccinated if somebody from our office comes over and is unvaccinated they are much safer than if they're in a bar with a bunch of unvaccinated people if they are there with a bunch of unvaccinated people they're much more likely to have a super spreader event so this makes no sense at all but here is Francis Collins recommending it anyway do you think as a public health measure it would be good for more businesses to

18:25 require vaccine credentials uh in order to have vaccinated customers as a public health person who wants to see this pandemic end yes I think anything we can do to encourage reluctant folks to get vaccinated because they'll want to be part of these public events that's a good thing ridiculous I'm sorry ridiculous also Francis Collins he adds you know what we should make the vaccinated Mouse because if you really want to pressure people to uh to say if you want to say people should have like a wonderful life a wonderful free life the best thing to do is tell them to get a vaccine and then they can live exactly the same way they were living when they were unvaccinated makes perfect sense again these are these are all self-contradictory nonsense there's Francis Collins saying something that makes no sense vaccinated people are capable of getting the virus in their nose and throat and they do seem to have high enough levels

19:22 of virus that they might be contagious and hence the reason if you're in a community where this virus is spreading which is about 75 of counties right now it is prudent to put on a mask even if you're vaccinated just in case uh you might be somebody who's currently spreading it what in the world what in the actual world I mean no no because guess what everyone in the country has had the opportunity to get the vaccine end of story and despite all the scary stories about how children are wildly affected by covid the statistics prove that this is not the case overall kids are significantly less likely to be hospitalized or die from covet than any other subgroup of the population by a long shot by a really really really long shot and yet here is Francis Collins saying he doesn't understand why Ron DeSantis is stopping people from masking in schools and again the real reason that you're trying to

20:13 mask up kids is to prevent them from infecting their teachers all of whom last I checked are adults who have had the opportunity to get the vaccine here's Francis Collins saying stuff that is not based in data well I don't understand the ban certainly this seems like something local officials ought to be able to decide based on their community's circumstance and we do know that kids are capable of getting pretty sick we've lost about 400 children who have died from covid-19 since this all started and kids can also get long covid where they don't maybe that sick with the acute Illness but then end up months later with difficulties with brain fog and fatigue that interferes with their school performance so this is not to be just dismissed as a zero risk I'm sorry this is just absurd it's absurd okay that as Carol Marquis points out in the New York Post there's a reason much of Europe didn't Mass kids under age 12

21:06 at all it isn't that they care about their kids less than we do here in a country that starts masking at the insane age of two in fact it shows Europeans care about their kids development so much they won't force them to play bit Parts in a grand psychodrama that is correct okay but this is a recapitulation of what it means to be a free human being driven by a public health establishment at this point that's what this is and they're making perfectly clear they never want to go back to normal here's the associate dean of Brown University public school of health on CNN her name is Megan Rani saying we're never going back to pre-pandemic reality ever this is what they would love they would love this can we ever go back to a pre-pandemic reality we are never going to go back to a pre-pandemic reality and I do agree that we do have to become comfortable with the fact that this virus is going to be

21:56 sticking around our goal is to decrease severe illness hospitalization and death but there are still some things that we don't really know we don't know how much this novel variant the Delta variant affects children it is our responsibility to keep them safe until they can get vaccinated and it's our responsibility to stop these surges while there are still so many who are unvaccinated no it isn't these are adults and your talk about kids is unrooted in the data not rooted in it we're never going back but that's the goal the goal is never go back to normal because you know what in normal circumstances that lady wouldn't be on TV in normal circumstance you wouldn't know any of these people's names in normal circumstances you would be free and living your life they don't like that it's not going to let you go back to normal some of us don't listen to that because guess what I've been back to normal for

22:45 four months so it's my entire family since we got vaccinated back to normal end of story most Americans feel that way Public Health officials combined with Democrats recording a real back last year and we'll get to more of this in just one second first let's talk about the fact that sometimes your Sleep Quality sucks my kid's been getting me up at 5 30 every single morning that means that I really have been valuing my Helix Sleep mattress lately but now Helix has gone even further they've launched a new company it's called all form they're making premium customizable sofas and chairs shipped directly to your door so what makes an all-form sofa really cool well for starters it's the easiest way you can customize a sofa using premium materials at a fraction of the cost of traditional stores you can pick your fabric it is Spill stain scratch resistant the sofa color the color of the legs sofa size and shape

24:03 that is allform.com go check them out right now okay so all of this has to do with a a public health rethinking of the way we all ought to live our life and this was stated nowhere better over the weekend than Dr Anthony tauci the great and sainted he who guards Saint Peters Pearly Gates Dr Anthony fauci the greatest doctor in all of human history never flip flopped on a single issue except for every single issue has held more positions on every single issue in the pandemic than the Kama Sutra does with regard to sexual positions here is Dr Anthony fauci now explaining that you need to mask up and the reason you need to mask up even if you're vaccinated is because let's say that you're vaccinated and let's say everyone around you has had the opportunity to get vaccinated you are encroaching on someone else's rights not to get sick um I wasn't aware that someone else has a right not to get sick

24:58 I who guarantees this right hey should we all lock ourselves in our homes to prevent this from happening and what what did somebody else's right not to get sick especially from people who don't know if they have the virus we're not talking about somebody who's out there coughing and spitting we're talking about somebody who for all intents and purposes is not sick you have a right not to be sick from them says Dr Anthony fauci um interesting interesting here we go a person's individual individual decision to not wear a mask not only impacts them because if they get infected even though they say it's my decision if I get infected I'll worry about that but the fact is if you get infected even if you are without symptoms you very well may infect another person who may be vulnerable who may get seriously ill so in essence you are encroaching on their individual rights because you're making them

25:54 vulnerable okay so here's the thing there may have been a certain logic to this particular position last year when there was no vaccine when there is no way to protect yourself once n95s are widely available this stopped being the case one 1095s which are very productive apparently against transmission of the virus once those are available if you really want to be protected you're an n95 okay put that aside forget about the masking for a second now everyone in the United States has had the opportunity to get a vaccine in fact the vast majority of people who are seriously vulnerable have gotten the vaccine meaning everyone above the age of 65 90 of all Americans above the age of 65 have gotten the vaccine he is now suggesting that I the vaccinated person right who did my due diligence did my duty got the vaccine that it is now my responsibility even if I am completely asymptomatic to wear a mask because you

26:45 have a right not to be sick okay this means masking forever there's no limiting principle at all at all because it turns out that people are constantly getting sick from each other my kids in a normal circumstance are constantly coming home with a cold they're constantly coming home sick with something this is what it means to be a child right basically classrooms are giant petri dishes of kids getting each other sick do my kids have a right to be free of illness when people don't know they are transmitting it I'm unaware of this right but once you establish this right there has to be a gatekeeper and who is that gatekeeper who would own the power to tell you what to do on a daily basis why wouldn't it be Anthony fauci wouldn't it be Rochelle wolenski wouldn't it be all these people now the media have gone to this with alacrity and it's been fun to watch members of The White House angry at the media for

27:32 upplaying the threat of the virus this has been happening a lot so for example the New York Times had a headline last week that is just inaccurate right it's just alarmist crap the headline was CDC internal report calls Delta variant as contagious as chickenpox okay but that really wasn't the the headline that they put out on Twitter the headline they put out on Twitter was breaking news the Delta variant is as contagious as chickenpox and may be spread by vaccinated people as easily as the unvaccinated an internal CDC report said okay that's just misinformation that is not true the reason it is not true is because vaccinated people are infected far less often than people who are unvaccinated so the New York Times just puts out a false tweet hey this actually LED members of the Biden Administration to yell at the New York Times I've noticed that tweet has not been taken down that tweet is still

28:19 up over at Twitter they've not been in any way cracked it down on for misinformation however Sky Australia was taken completely they were suspended from YouTube they're suspended from YouTube supposedly for promulgating misinformation what exactly was the misinformation they suggested that masked mandates and lockdowns in Australia have not been a successful strategy and YouTube took them down so the way this works is that if you are super duper alarmist in your misinformation then it gets to stay up if however you are not alarmist in your actual correct information you may get taken down anyway now here's the thing we have set up a society at this point where the elites are not bound by any of this I've seen this over and over and over right we saw experts in the UK who would recommend that everybody mask up and stay in their homes but they had to meet their lover on the side it was very important and so

29:09 they just broke quarantine and broke protocol we got Chris Cuomo lecturing everybody on the importance of how to act during this pandemic while simultaneously covering up for his brother's malfeasance and also leaving quarantine in order to go check out a house that he was building and now over the weekend we saw a wide variety of Democrats engaging in covid hypocrisy so for example Muriel Bowser decided that it was deeply important just hours before the masked mandate went into place so go take an unmasked photo with Dave Chappelle I mean hey when you have the opportunity to take a photo with Dave Chappelle covet guidelines go by the wayside according to the Washington examiner Washington DC mayor Muriel Bowser got in a massless photo with comedian Dave Chappelle before her mandate requiring face coverings went into effect on Saturday John falcicio the deputy the district's deputy mayor

29:54 for planning and economic development tweeted a photo Friday of himself Bowser Chappelle and two others together inside a room chappella native of the district performed at the anthem a local entertainment venue to a sold-out crowd the venue announced ahead of the show masks were required to be worn at all times although it's unclear where exactly the photo was taken Bowser had announced on Thursday that effective on 5 a.m Saturday every person older than two must wear a mask indoors regardless of vaccination status but apparently that no longer applied to Muriel Bowser right that Muriel Bowser she's special she's a special and that means that we don't have to worry about that by the way the rolling day seven day death average in Washington DC according to the New York Times zero zero so here's the thing Muriel Bowser is acting like a normal person should act she's vaccinated she's safe

30:44 she's acting normally in her life but she's preaching that everybody else including the vaccinated needs to mask up then over the weekend she also hosted a large wedding mask list after the Mandate went into place there is some video of Muriel Bowser presiding over a wedding this is outdoors she's still very very close to people and then of course they moved indoors and she was taking photos of people invested in me as mayor of Washington D.C which will someday be the be the husband and wife okay um it's not gonna be the 51st date and also I noticed that um after this she then went inside and uh it was at a five-star hotel in Adams Morgan and everybody inside was dancing mask was I noticed really solid stuff Bowser's office sent Fox 5 a statement that said mayor Bowser officiated an outdoor rooftop wedding ceremony followed by an indoor dinner the mayor wore a mask endures in compliance with mandate the organizers

31:43 and venue staff worked to create a safe environment for the staff and guests weird because I'm looking at the pictures right now and I'm noticing that there are a lot of people who are not masked indoors wow I mean so disastrous so terrible by the way Barack Obama is planning a birthday bash hey he's planning his 60th birthday hundreds of guests on Martha's Vineyard now I I've been told that large-scale Gatherings are a danger to us and others that even with masks I mean let's be frank people can pass this thing we have been told a Barack Obama's birthday party is different it's like a George Floyd protest or something last summer it's so important that kovid no longer applies Francis Collins literally said if you're talking about a small party like I might have in my house for six or eight people who are all fully vaccinated I don't believe we need to put on masks to be next door to each other but if there

32:32 were 100 people and of course how are you really going to be sure about people's vaccination status apparently there will be some safety measures put in place Obama officials did not say whether guests will be required to wear masks and they are they're holding the party at the former first family's 12 million home which sits on 30 Ocean Front Acres it's going to be an ex-president of the United States Steven Spielberg will show up Pearl Jam is set to play obviously these people are treating the pandemic with all of the Grave care that they say that we should treat it with also Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot who you'll remember very early on in the pandemic really really needed a haircut and so she violated her pandemic protocols to go get a haircut she um she held a music festival in Chicago Lollapalooza she also went and visited it apparently she actually attended it and she was caught with her mask off while hanging

33:23 with the celebrities here is a picture of Lollapalooza over the weekend do you see a mask anywhere in the crowd anywhere you learn you learn did you see any masks nope not seeing any masks are you weird look at that people all crammed all close together not masked look at this I mean this is all covered safe though because after all lots of lefties go to Lollapalooza so yeah it's fine they're probably fine probably nothing to worry about right definitely not a super spreader event this by the way is indoors and you can see a lot of people unmasked so that's that's great Chicago Tribune reporter Gregory Pratt said quote at the same time she's threatening possible restrictions of cases rise above 200 per day mayor Lori Lightfoot is moving forward to Britain with plans to bring a hundred thousand a day to Grant Park for Lollapalooza so that is uh that is very solid stuff right there it's um

34:21 very very good really really nice three days of Music Euphoria with a huge massless crowd as described by Laurie Garrett who is a a person who writes for the center on Foreign Relations again it doesn't apply to them it doesn't apply to them because they're special they're special again here's the reality everybody should act how they want they're adults now you want to get a vaccine get a vaccine you don't want to get a vaccine I think you're wrong you should get a vaccine but if you don't that's on you you didn't get coven you end up in the hospital that's also on you but no one apparently like there's just no interest on the left and allowing this pandemic to end because for them the pandemic ending is zero coveted because they understand zero covet will never be achieved and because zero code will never be achieved this means they will have total control particularly over policy we're gonna get

35:16 to that in just one second first let us talk about the fact that you need to constantly be upgrading the people who work at your company according to Forbes gyms nail salons hotels Mom Pop stores and more are all set to go on an epic hiring spree in the coming months to meet the pent-up demand for all of these Services all these businesses reopening means millions of jobs will need to be filled so where do these businesses turn to fill these roles fast they go to zip recruiter right now you can try it for free at ziprecruiter.com Daily wire when you post a job on ZipRecruiter they send your job to over 100 top job sites giving you access to their network of millions of job Seekers zipper creators matching technology scans resumes to find qualified candidates for your open roles and proactively presents them to you and can easily review recommended candidates and invite your top choices to apply for your job which encourages

38:18 unnecessary burden on individuals who cringe whose current gender identity does not align with their designation at Birth namely when they register for school or Sports adopt get married or request personal records a person's sex designation would still be submitted to the U.S standard certification of live birth for medical public health and statistical use only but it's not important anymore we shouldn't we shouldn't actually put on your birth certificate which sex you are says the AMA yes I wonder why we don't trust our scientific establishment the way we used to you mean aside from the fact that they botched covet in every way it is possible to botch covet this is why it's amazing to me when people treat all the scientific institutions though they are the same nope big Pharma did an amazing job with covet you're in an unbelievably crappy job Public Health establishment unbelievably crappy job but here's the

39:02 good news if you are a person who loves government actors in control of your life they are always willing to take more control of your life so over the weekend the unconstitutional Federal eviction protections put forward by the CDC expired so there was a ruling last month by the Supreme Court 5-4 it said that the CDC was allowed to create Federal eviction moratoria which is insane by the way that you have an unelected bureaucracy that has simply allowed to declare that no one in the country can be evicted from their home for failure to pay rent that's particularly insane at a time when the United States Congress was blowing out the spending to the tune of seven trillion dollars last year so the only people who didn't get in on that were the people who actually were owed rent instead you were just supposed to absorb the entire cost of running the apartment building and doing all the upkeep without anybody

39:52 paying rent because there was a federal eviction moratorium well Justice Brett Kavanaugh who is the deciding vote in that case also said in his majority decision that it was pretty clear to him that the only reason that this was constitutional in any way is because it was already coming to its end its natural Terminus on July 31st and if Congress wished to extend a federal moratorium on evictions they'd actually have to act well now Democrats are very upset about this they're very upset that people have to start paying their rent again now I've noticed that these same Democrats are claiming that the economy is roaring back that people are getting jobs at record rates they're claiming the economy is now bigger than it was before the pandemic so why are they still pushing for a federal moratorium on evictions other than landlords are bad even though they absorb all the costs I mean honestly you want to create a perverse

40:40 incentive for people to build new apartment buildings and lower the cost of housing this would be about as good a perverse incentive as I can imagine the reason that people don't build apartment buildings is if they don't believe they can make a profit by renting out those apartment buildings if you can randomly shut down rent why in the world would anyone invest in residential real estate for rental governed by the federal government box.com for a temple is very upset that it's August 1st and rent is due that's a big change for many Americans who have been unable to pay rent but we're protected from eviction by a federal moratorium now those protections are gone last month the moratorium was already on borrow time the Supreme Court had warned it would not extend rental protection past the end of July this changes a lot for renters who now have to reckon with their landlords some of whom have not received regular rent

41:26 for almost a year renters are now required to pay any missed payments and in some states the landlord has owed late fees for any late payments since the moratorium was enacted utilities are a bit of a gray area generally if the landlord is responsible for paying for a certain utility in most cases they're not permitted to turn it off so Democrats don't want to work out some sort of repayment plan here instead they just want a further moratorium eviction instead of them saying listen there are some people who have racked up back rent they're only getting back in the workforce now and sure we paid them a lot of money to stay home to pay the rent but what we really should do is maybe we'll like trench them back into paying regular rent by basically saying they have a course of six months to pay back their back rent instead of doing that the Democrats have decided no no we need to push for a further moratorium on

42:12 evictions now the cheapest way to do this if you're Nancy Pelosi is never to pass anything so Nancy Pelosi I mean this is the most cynical political move I can imagine really she's the Speaker of the House of Representatives and instead of her saying I want to pass a new piece of legislation extending moratoriums on evictions instead she tweeted out the CDC has the power to extend the eviction moratorium as they double down on masks why wouldn't they extend the moratorium in light of Delta varians and the answer is they don't have the power the Supreme Court literally said last month they don't have the power to do that Pelosi doesn't want to do it herself instead she's trying to throw it on the White House and the CDC meanwhile Alexander ocasio-cortez is saying no no let's do it here in the house right let's let's extend the more I mean indefinitely why not free rent for everybody for all time

42:55 there's a couple of contributing factors here we have Governors who are also not getting this emergency rental assistance out in time which is forcing this this extension what we would like in extension in the moratorium the fact of the matter is is that the problem is here the house should reconvene and call this vote and extend the moratorium there's about 11 million people that are behind on their rent at risk of eviction that's one out of every six renters okay so we just should extend it indefinitely Maxine Waters is on board with Nancy Pelosi because she too is a sort of authoritarian she always wants the White House to just do stuff without any sort of congressional mandate here she was on CNN saying that Biden's just do it himself we thought that the White House was in charge and we know that Kavanaugh over at the Supreme Court had said that they did not think the president had the

43:48 authority to use executive power in order to extend the moral term however I think the President should not have taken an opinion from one of the members of the Supreme Court he should have gone forward with an executive order to expand uh and to extend the moratorium and then let whatever and whomever wanted to file a lawsuit or whatever they want to do to come after and challenge that opinion but the President should have moved on it okay meanwhile Elizabeth Warren over in the Senate she's doing her best Bernie Sanders routine she says yes let's stop all evictions again the amount of power these people wish to wield in the American economy and over your life should scare the living hell out of you and the fact that they think that they can just write blank checks because the United States is so much stronger than other countries that lasts only as long as the United States is stronger than

44:37 other countries and she's a proponent Elizabeth Warren it's amazing how Elizabeth Warren has shifted just as a human being I knew her very like a little bit over at Harvard Law School that was back in the days where she was writing things like the two income trap a really interesting book about ways to prevent people from getting caught in sort of a spiral of having to earn more in order to in order to buy real estate and stuff she used to actually be very much in favor of for example school choice well now Elizabeth Warren is just a Bernie Sanders Progressive for no reason other than she still has presidential aspirations at the at whatever old age she is at this point here's Elizabeth Warren saying we should stop all evictions the Delta variant is more contagious threatening to spread faster among the half of the country that remains unvaccinated needlessly evicting families would risk

45:25 escalating our Public Health crisis the CDC understood that reality when it issued an eviction moratorium in September the agency was clear and I want to quote the language they used housing stability helps protect health that's right they need the pandemic to last forever it's the only excuse they have for spending us into Oblivion it's the only excuse they have for dampening the future growth of the economy and blowing out the debt and making American Credit worthiness questionable the only excuse they have is that you might die of covet there's only one problem vaccines are successful and if you choose not to get the vaccine that's your problem at this point that is your decision at this point you're an adult human being but Democrats don't wish to treat you as an adult human being because they wish to rule your life and yes every benefit that the government hands you comes with the string attached which is they get to

46:19 run you okay the government is just like the mafia they give you the loan they now run you it is that simple there is no such thing as a free lunch of course and the fact that the government hands you benefits like a federal eviction moratorium comes with the Proviso they can lock you in your home and force you to mask whenever they damn well please because after all the great threat of covet mandates that they control every aspect of your life from how you raise your kid so whether your kid can go to school to whether you can go to work to whether you can open your business to whether you can appear in public without a mask after having been vaccinated this is totalitarian control of the American economy of the American individual it's a complete recasting of individual rights along the back of a pandemic that is already waning again the stats demonstrate we are now at death rates on a daily basis that are

47:03 about the same as Alzheimer's on a daily basis in the United States they will not let this go and here's the scary part because y'all went along with it because people continue to go along with it particularly in blue States because Americans went along with this except in some of the red States because of that the only question is when do they do this next because eventually the pandemic people will accept that it has waned but how long will it be before the Democrats declare another emergency how long will it be before the Democrats decide that they need to lock you in your house or seize control of your business or do something to take control of your life because there is some emergency so grave that it requires their Tender Mercies it requires their control and one of the beautiful things about human life is that disparate knowledge diffuse knowledge is significantly more powerful than individual knowledge think

47:47 of all the people you know hey the smartest people you know those are people who couldn't handle what you handle in your daily life and all the people you know together put together know a lot more than any individual that you know about basic decision making but at the government level they want like a small Cadre of people they wish to rule your life because they are smarter than you and they are better than you and they are richer than you and therefore they ought to run your life all they need is some sort of emergency to scare the hell out of you so you need to ask yourself a question should you be scared and if the answer is no if the answer is no you know they're lying to you alrighty we'll be back here today with an additional hour of content coming up soon the Matt Walsh show airs at 1 30 PM Eastern be sure to check it out over at dailywire.com I'm Ben Shapiro this is the Ben Shapiro show
