Full transcript with timestamps

Democrats and the media grow increasingly rabid about new anti-covered measures even though Americans are adults I'm Ben Shapiro this is the Ben Shapiro show the Ben Shapiro show is brought to you by expressvpn make sure that you protect your internet use expressvpn.com Ben we'll get to all the news in just one moment here is your reminder if you are using one of the giant cell phone providers who are spending too much money this is why you should be using pure talk USA take a look at that cell phone bill if you're with Verizon ATT or T-Mobile you are paying too much pure talk can save your family over eight hundred dollars per year yep that same great coverage because pure talks on the exact same network as one of the big three but at a fraction of the price and switching is as easy as switching out your sim card you can keep your phone keep your number or get huge discounts on the latest iPhones and Android plus

right now unlimited talk text six gigs of data for just 30 bucks a month and if you go over on the data they're not going to charge you for it there is a reason Pure Talk is the highest rated Wireless company by consumer affairs why they are the preferred Wireless partner of AMAC again there's no reason you should be spending all that much money on your cell phone bill given the fact that a lot of it is going to overhead and advertising instead you should just be using pure talk USA and getting exactly what you need which is what they're going to give you from your cell phone Dao pound 250 say Ben Shapiro save an additional 50 off your very first month that is pound two five zero say Ben Shapiro to get started that is pound two five zero so my name Ben Shapiro to get started with my friends over at puretalkusa alrighty so panic panic everybody Panic we have to Panic it's very important that we Panic the

headlines today betray nothing but panic panic panic everywhere oh okay here is the thing there's not really a great reason to panic so the headline over at Drudge Report which has basically just become the Huffington Post at this point giant headlines Peak covid now Peak covid now okay is it really Pete covered now because when I think of Pete covet I think how many people are dying of coven right this is one of the things that has driven me nuts for the past several months case counts don't matter hospitalizations and deaths matter even if hospitalizations get disconnected from deaths hospitalizations don't matter as much as deaths do okay so it used to be the case counts were really really closely tied to death raid now thanks to the vaccine that has been wildly disconnected to the point where 90 of all Americans above the age of 65 are now vaccinated against covid-19 and 70 of all Americans above the age of 18

are vaccinated against covid-19 and that is not including all of the people who didn't get vaccinated who already had covid-19 who probably have natural antibodies or T cell memory which means that in all likelihood you are looking at an adult population in the United States above the age of 18. in excess of at least 75 maybe 80 percent of all of those people who already have some level of immunity to covet 19. a very shrinking diminishing percentage of the population is still highly vulnerable to covet 19. which is why you have seen this wild disconnect between the case rights and the death rates we are also seeing an increasing disconnect between hospitalization rates and death rates why well because at the very beginning of the pandemic everybody who went to the hospital was 80 years old and had three pre-existing conditions now a lot of the people who are going to the hospital are 25 and have one

pre-existing condition and are staying in the hospital for say five or six days and then getting out as opposed to staying for two weeks and then dying and you can see this in the death rates because who cares about getting diagnosed with covid if you end up with a mild cold I'm seeing sheer Panic out there today because wow Lindsey Graham announced that he had a breakthrough case of coven now he's going to self quarantine for 10 days okay so first of all I I'm not even sure that it's worth quarantining if you have covid at this point like it it's it's so widespread that I'm not even sure like on a public health level whether quarantining is actually going to slow the spread in any significant like I get it I get you're supposed to quarantine if you have covet I do I understand I understand why they're telling you to do this because there's so many unvaccinated people out there but if Lindsey Graham is dealing

with a lot of vaccinated people every day then really this should not be like of massive concern in the same way that many people go to the office when they have a cold many people go to the office when they're feeling mildly ill if covid is now degraded to the level of a mild illness I don't understand why everybody on Earth is supposed to be freaking out that Lindsey Graham got a breakthrough case of covert that has resulted in the sniffles according to the Daily wire Lindsey Graham announced on Monday afternoon he tested positive for covid-19 and started experiencing symptoms on Saturday he said he started having flu-like symptoms Saturday night he went to the doctor he said I feel like I have a sinus infection at present I have mild symptoms I will be quarantining for 10 days okay why is that even a public health story I don't understand being diagnosed with basically very very mild illness is not

a public health emergency and so when you see people freaking out about case rates it makes no sense it is just alarmism of the highest order so when you have CNBC reporting CDC says seven-day average of daily U.S coveted cases surpassed Peak seen last summer yes but last summer we were seeing like way more death I'm looking at the U.S kova death rates right now okay the seven day rolling average according to the New York Times remains at 362. which is basically where it was about a month ago if you want to look at the height of the pandemic or even if you want to look last summer at the height of the pandemic last summer you were looking at seven day rolling averages that were at least twice what you are seeing right now in terms of death rates okay so the the these sort of insane Panic that is being trotted out there it really is wild and by the way there are some countervailing data to suggest that

perhaps the daily average in coveted cases might be going down actually according to CNBC itself U.S coveted cases based on a seven-day moving average reached 72 790 on Friday according to data compiled by the CDC that's higher than the peak in average daily cases seen last summer when the country was reporting about 68 700 new cases per day the daily average in coveted cases however has since dropped falling to 68 326 new cases per day on Saturday and 63 250 new cases per day on Sunday according to the agency now there are some data from Johns Hopkins that suggests the opposite they show a continued increase in the seven day average to nearly 80 000 new cases per day as of Sunday but again case rates don't matter by the way you know who's saying case rates don't matter anymore the Biden Administration the Biden Administration called up CNN and they said why are you reporting the case numbers as opposed to the

hospitalization and death numbers precisely precisely that's what we should be reporting again the the kind of focus in on how dumb Americans are and how terrible we all and all the unvaccided they're all gonna 70 plus percent of Americans are now overtly vaccinated above the age of 18. many more have already gotten natural immunity through having covid-19 percent of all people in the 65 plus age group are vaccinated that is a massive success story if anyone had the brains to notice it and you know what's going to happen with the Delta variant is going to spike and then it is going to wane and you know why I say that's going to happen because it has happened in all the countries it is happening everywhere it happened in the UK it happened in the Netherlands and yet the Panic is just outsized right everybody everybody panics Leanna Wen who just isn't on TV every day because she gets to promote panic she said to

Yahoo news quote the single biggest mistake the Biden Administration made during this entire pandemic response and I would argue in the entire Biden presidency was back in May when the CDC said that vaccinated people can take off their mask but did not have proof of vaccination attached to it as a result people understood the pandemic to be over them the over them the unvaccinated began behaving like they were vaccinated um first of all this is so utterly and wildly not related to reality the unvaccinated largely we're always acting as though the pandemic was over that's why they were unvaccinated it wasn't like the unvaccinated waited for Joe Biden to say vaccinated you can unmask and then hey now I can unmask too this has been lyanna wins you know Bugaboo for a long time here she thinks that mask mandates are the be all end all as we will explore Mass mandatory in fact not the be-all end all masked mandates

have been wildly ineffective by the available data that we have that doesn't mean that all masking is ineffective it means ask mandates pushed top down by the government have been extremely ineffective okay she says what did we see we saw exactly what I and many public health experts predicted at the time the honor code did not work surges have happened because of unvaccinated individuals now with the Delta variant restrictions are coming back except nobody's listening anymore okay but that that's not people weren't listening in the first place like does she know anyone who's unvaccinated seriously it has like has Leanna Wen talked to anyone who was unvaccinated has she spent any time in the red states that she likes to crap all over I have serious doubts because that's not how people were behaving in the first place people who are unvaccinated are significantly less worried about the virus than people who

are vaccinated unmasking the vaccinated had zero impact on unmasking the unvaccinated it's just Madness and she said President Biden absolutely declared a victory too soon right Victory is there will be no more Victory and Biden himself has now drunk from this well I the only rationale politically this is unbelievably stupid politically what Joe Biden and Biden Administration are doing right now is incredibly dumb because all they have to do is wait about three weeks and then Delta will will drop I'm just telling you right now this is not just me saying this all right McCary of Johns Hopkins University is saying this Scott Gottlieb from the FDA is saying this pretty much all the scientists agree looking at the UK which had a wave that looked very much like this one in the Netherlands which had a wave that looked very much like this one there will be a drop in terms of the daily case rates in the United States

all Joe Biden has to do and say go get back like this is a very easy message if you're vaccinated you're pretty much safe from the virus if you're unvaccinated most of by all available data the best chance is that you will get somewhere between mildly and moderately ill a small percentage of people get severely ill and an even smaller percentage of you will die but it's a it's a larger percentage than if you got vaccinated so you probably should get vaccinated right that is the case for getting vaccinated now you're an adult goal of your life and if you get covered because you didn't get vaccinated and if you get a serious case of covid that that really it's your decision you're an adult we're relying on you to make your own decisions now right this would be very easy for Joe Biden to do and then it's off his plate I mean just politically speaking first of all that would be a better Public Health message

but put aside the public health messaging of it it would get it off his plate politically because then it would be on individual Americans to decide whether or not they wanted to protect themselves okay but Joe Biden can't do that because the unspoken goal of the entire Democratic party and the entire media for a year has been zero coveted zero covet is never going to happen and the reason that Democrats in the media bought into zero covet is because it gave them ultimate control over your life if they set the goal at zero covet and zero covet is never going to happen but in order to achieve Utopia of zero covid they get to maintain control that is a feature not a bug that is a good thing more eviction moratoria the CDC today by the way issued guidance that allow Joe Biden the excuse of continuing to expel migrants who are crossing the southern border illegally so there is a rule that was put in place

by the Trump Administration that allowed for quick expulsion of illegal immigrants who tested positive for covid the CDC came in the bite Administration planned to throw that out the CDC came in and they trumped it the CDC is a bureaucratic organization they don't have plenary power over immigration but now they do because the magic of Public Health emergencies like any other emergency is it gives inordinate power to small groups of unelected bureaucrats Democrats are very very happy about this so the emergency mentality must the emergency mentality will continue until morale improves that is the basic strategy here and Joe Biden apparently is all in this is so dumb politically here is Joe Biden saying get ready for more restrictions expect more guidelines coming up more restrictions because of Kobe and all probability by the way we had a good day yesterday almost a million people got vaccinated about half a million of those

people for the first time under the second shot and so I'm hopeful that people are beginning to realize how essential it is okay Bob I I also really enjoy how the public health officials who have completely botched the public messaging with regard to vaccination are now taking credit for more people vaccinating you know why more people are vaccinating because more people are scared of covid end of story which demonstrates once again adults do risk allocation all the time they do risk reward allocation all the damn time they don't require daughtering old fools like Joe Biden to force them to do it in Chen saki she said well you know we're probably not going to do more shutdowns but I'm not going to say that anything is off the table at this point here's Jen saki from the White House yesterday we've been clear we're not going back to the shutdowns of March of 2020. uh we are not going back to the economy

shutting down we've made too much progress too many people are vaccinated there's been too much progress on the economic front but again he has said from the beginning that we are going to be guided by the Science guided by our Public Health experts and we're not going to take options off the table of what they may recommend okay so this is just um yeah this is this is wild the whole point here is that elected officials have to balance all of the competing interests from the economy to Freedom but now there she is basically just saying well we'll let Dr fauci and Rochelle balenski decide which is a very very bad idea and by the way it is resulting in dramatically decreased poll numbers for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on a political level you know keep going with this guys really let's see how it works out for you we'll get to that in one second first there are a thousand reasons why protecting my home

matters to me I mean I have three major reasons they're all under the age of eight yeah I want to make sure that I know what's going on in my house because I want to know what's going on with my kids I want to know who's stopping by the front door I want to know everything that's going on on my property at all times this is why I have ring devices on my house on the inside and the outside of my house ring has a special offer right now go to ring.com forward slash Ben it is the perfect way to start your ring experience with Ring's home security system when anyone stops by or you send something going on Outdoors around the house you know ring has every corner of your home covered one of the best benefits you install the products yourself the process is hassle free your whole home is protected with easy to install indoor and outdoor cams and get this the cams work seamlessly with ring alarm you can see what's happening from

anywhere all in one very simple app it's never been more important to have a reliable home security system I'm pleased my family and I can keep an eye on everything going on anywhere anytime protect your home anytime from anywhere with ring alarm go to ring.com Ben for a special offer on ring alarm security kit today you can build the system that's right for your home have it up and running in just minutes that's ring.com Ben once more ring.com Ben alrighty so all of this is just not only bad policy it is terrible politics there is a reason that opinion polls are showing that Americans are really pessimistic right now and it's because if you set a goal like zero covid and it is unreachable and then you don't reach it and then the media freak out every time everybody gets a cold people are going to get very pessimistic very quickly right now Kamala Harris's numbers are really really bad her unpopularity

is at 49 her popularity hovers about 45 according to a yougov America poll she's particularly unpoppable according to Economist and you have with younger voters only 36 percent of people aged 18 to 29 view her favorably Joe Biden apparently is moving the wrong direction a new Rasmussen reports Paul shows at least 52 percent of likely voters now disapprove Joe Biden's work in the White House 42 said they strongly disapprove only 26 percent say they strongly approve of Joe Biden's presidency and even if you see polls that are more positive providing they're way worse than they were just a few weeks ago when it comes to optimism and pessimism about the country people are way more pessimistic than they were just a few months ago one of the reasons is because of the alarmist idiocy being pushed by the media I mean it is an amazing thing that now you are seeing officials from the White House who are

chiding the media for their coverage of covid because the media and the Democratic party they are the same they are a Unity okay all the media at this Center at this point basically are a loudspeaker for whatever the White House wants them to be and so when when the White House are chatting to meet you guys are too panicked stop with the Panic already this demonstrates how far the media have gone in pursuit of the panic okay so because of this Panic which again is rooted in uh misunderstanding of the difference in cases and deaths it's rooted in a misunderstanding of the trajectory of the Delta variant which again we have already seen in the UK we have already seen in the Netherlands because it is rooted in a basic misunderstanding of the of the possibility of how people actually spread this thing from vaccinated to unvaccinated the media been covering it like if you're vaccinated you are just

as likely to pass this thing as if you are unvaccinated like all of this these are bad headlines and bad data being pushed forward by the media and many of the people responsible for this bad data frankly are members of the public health establishment the fauces and malinski's of the world this has resulted in some incredibly dumb Public Health recommendations so for example you've heard a lot about masking up so San Francisco mayor London breed declared yesterday that everybody in San Francisco vaccinated and unvaccinated needs to mask up which is totally crazy okay I'm looking right now at the San Francisco covid rates San Francisco covet cases right now the their cases are up right they're they're up to about a thousand cases a day the San Francisco rolling death rate August 1 2021 the rolling death rate seven day average zero zero again San Francisco is masking up again and their seven day rolling

average on deaths is currently zero okay the population of San Francisco is somewhere in the neighborhood of 900 000 people okay this is madness of course now Bill de Blasio didn't go quite as far he said he was going to reject an indoor mask mandate for the vaccinated but he then came out and said he wanted to recommend that everybody wear masks and indoor settings even if you're vaccinated which of course does not make a lot of sense the whole point here is that if you're telling the vaccinated to mask up you're actually telling people that the vaccines are not effective unfortunately that is the message that people are taking away and that is the wrong message vaccines are extremely effective because what vaccines are designed to do is prevent you from the dead you are not supposed to die if you get the vaccine they're really good at this they're not as good at preventing you from giving a mild cold to somebody

else vaccinated or transmitting to somebody who's unvaccinated then they get really sick that's why you're an adult if you want a vaccine go get a vaccine today they're available everywhere really you can't run down the street now without running past some place that is offering a vaccine if you want the vaccine go get the vaccine if you don't then bear the consequences but here's Bill de Blasio telling the vaccinated maybe they should consider masking up we want to strongly recommend that people wear masks in indoor settings even if you're vaccinated now this is particularly true of course if you might be around anyone unvaccinated if you don't know the people you're around if you're not sure if they're vaccinated not or if you know some are unvaccinated absolutely crucial to wear a mask even if you are vaccinated okay now you notice that he's holding a cloth face mask correct and this is the go-to

is the cloth face mask now there's been a lot of debate in public health circles about just how effective the cloth face masks are there are some studies that suggest that these are these are lab studies these are not real world studies that suggest that there may be some mild Effectiveness to cloth face masks n95 seem to be significantly more effective but you're supposed to actually get a new n95 every day with pretty much no one does yeah the the real world studies unmasking are are somewhat conflicting right to just be straight with you there are some studies that suggest a level of efficacy those tend to be lab studies where it says that a barrier is better than nothing fair enough and then there's some real world studies which suggest that masking is not quite as effective as people think it is because people tend to mess around with it because there are air pockets but people will will move their mask they'll take a

dirty mask put it in their pocket put it back on their face and all the rest of that sort of thing so the record is missed is mixed one thing that is indubitably true and obviously true is that mask mandates have had no real impact okay let's begin in Sweden okay right now according to rt.com mask free Sweden nears its zero daily cover deaths as sheep Chief epidemiologist warns against far-reaching conclusions against the Delta strain remember Sweden was ripped up and down for its approach to covet which was basically protect the the people who are most vulnerable let everybody else go live their life there was no mask mandate in covid there hasn't been since like July since last July uh or or rather uh Sweden dropped its last remaining they had very mild mask recommendations for like public transport but they dropped that on July 1st they supported some social distancing measures but Sweden was very wide open

from the beginning of the pandemic and right now Sweden is experiencing pretty much zero covet death on a day-to-day basis and that is despite the Delta variants still being the chief variant in Sweden just like it is everywhere else so are the masks the solution okay the vaccination is the solution guys vaccination is the solution masks were never going to be the solution and that's why it was so absurd when you saw people in the federal government telling you that you should rely more on your mask than on vaccinations that that masks were literally Robert Redfield said this incentive testimony he said masks protect you better than the vaccine which is just crazy that's just crazy towns okay also when it comes to mass mandates these these have not been successful nearly anywhere there is no evidence that mask mandates right I'm not saying masks mask mandates governments top-down directives that you

must wear a mask that these have done anything through no matter to dramatically decrease either transmission rates or hospitalization rates or death rates I'll give you that data in just one moment first let's talk about the fact that you probably have a lot of equity in your home right it's probably the chief holder of your Equity at this point your home mortgage so how much Equity do you have like 50 000 or 100 000 more cyber crime experts are learning homeowners the more Equity you have the greater the chance foreign and domestic criminals will come after you home title theft is one of the fastest growing at crimes in the United States in fact home title lock America's leader in home title protection is alerting homeowners that could already be a victim and you could not know it so here's how all of this works first a cyber Thief will search hundreds of public databases for high Equity homes

next they pull your home's online title Forge your signature stating you sold your home and take out loans using your Equity you're not covered by Insurance your bank or common identity theft programs I mean you wouldn't leave like all of your jewelry just out on the counter for somebody to steal you wouldn't leave the front door of your house on last why would you leave all the value in your home open to the world protect your most valuable asset register your address right now see if you're already a victim receive a complete title history of your home a 100 value for free go to home titlelock.com again that is home title lock.com and see if you've already become a victim and then protect yourself home titlelock.com alrighty so you've seen members of the media who are in full scale Panic modes here that the solutions this is new mask mandates force all the vaccinated to masks that they don't breathe or cough even

asymptomatically I'm people who are unvaccinated which again is really stupid for a variety of reasons including the fact it makes unvaccinated people feel more protected than they actually are when the actual solution for them is to go get vaccinated but for example Mika brochinski is ubermads at Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida because DeSantis has said is not in favor of mass mandates and he's not in favor of masking children in schools here's Mika Brzezinski going nuts onto Santos what is going on in Florida I know Governor Ron DeSantis supports the vaccine but this masking non-mandate or whatever you want to call it seems very counter to the science and also we've had a governor who's been flouting fouchy making fun of uh you know the top doctor in the United States I I feel like he's sending a very mixed message to his constituents at what point is the Florida government liable for what is happening in Florida okay um

no he's not sending a mixed message the message he has been sending consistently and openly is that there's a high likelihood you're going to get coveted and either you're going to get it or you're going to get vaccinated that is the message that Rhonda Sanchez has been sending which is why the vaccination rates in Florida have been rising continuously Florida ranks somewhere in the middle of the pack in terms of vaccinations but Florida has already vaccinated all of the olds in Florida which is a lot of people in Florida by the way Dr Michael osterholm who is a who is a an advisor he's a coveted advisor to Joe Biden he he came out yesterday's hit cloth face masks aren't effective at Delta variant okay I wonder if he's going to get banned from YouTube for pointing this out we know today that many of the face cloth coverings that people wear are not very effective in reducing any of the virus movement in or out either you're

breathing out or you're breathing in and in fact if you're in the Upper Midwest right now anybody who's wearing their face cloth covering can tell you they can smell all the smoke that we're still getting we need to talk about better masking we need to talk about n95 respirators which would do a lot for both people who are not yet vaccinated or not previously infected protecting them as well as keeping others who might become infected having been vaccinated from from breathing out the virus okay so by the way if we're going to talk about n95 masks then what we really should be talking about right now is everybody go back to normal except people who are particularly vulnerable and can't get the vaccine right people who have serious underlying conditions who should have the n95s but you know they're still calling from ask mandates is the point like broad mask mandates by the way again the record on mass mandate

sucks it's really bad like here for example is HR from Austria you can see Austria started requiring masks fairly early on in the pandemics have been like March of 2020. they started requiring it after they had their Spike things remained low then they got to win her the mass mandate was still in place boom huge Spike Germany same exact thing Germany you can see they put in their Mass Mandate mid-april of last year they were already on the downside of the mountain things remain low boom fall Spike same thing in France they had like a mild uptick and then a mild downtick in terms of coveted cases per million they implemented a mass mandate in May fall boom Spike same thing in Spain I mean over and over it's the same exact same exact pattern Spain Britain Belgium wherever there was a mask requirement it was usually done after there was already the major spike and then afterward there was another major spike so the notion

that you can just have government tell people to mask up and this is going to prevent covid the the record on that is really really poor again that is not saying that Macs are completely ineffective although again there is a wide variation between cloth masks on small children which is what most little kids are wearing which again I failed to see how any studies that suggested that is wildly effective for small children and n95s on adults and my wife as a doctor was trained in the use of PPE personal protective equipment were you and and by the way in the hospital when you're working with severely ill patients who have very transmissible diseases you use in n95 you don't use a surgical mask you don't you may use a facial you don't use a you don't use a cloth mask but people have started treating The Masks as sort of a totem of religious iconography which is at least it was a sort of somewhat

understandable on an emotional level when there were no Solutions now there's a vaccine there's no rationale for treating masks as the BL end-all at this point okay but the Panic continues it pays so here's the thing the public health establishment needs another reason why we need to have these shutdowns and centralization of power in the bureaucracy because if what I'm saying is true namely adults are adults and adults get to make adult decisions and there's a solution right here and if you don't want to use the solution that one's on you which means Public Health experts are now basically back to what they were before which is they go back to their Laboratories and they go back to their organizations and they leave the rest of us the hell alone they have to have some way of forestalling their return to anonymity the way that they forestall the return to anonymity is they do what they've

been doing sporadically throughout the pandemic they say it's about the kids it is not about the kids the data on the Delta variant demonstrate this thing is more transmissible there's no data whatsoever suggesting at this point data not anecdotal stories data suggesting that Delta is more deadly for kids hey you know who says this The Washington Post there's a good article in the week just last week about the risk to children from the Delta variant Professor Emily Oster has said exactly the same thing professor of Economics over at Brown University she points out that four children there's higher kid infection but the risk of serious disease remains very low you know who else is saying this Dr Marcella Nunez Smith who again is a doctor inside the Biden Administration she says kids are not being harmed by Delta in large numbers thankfully for children the risk of severe covid um remains still very small the risk of

hospitalization remains very minimal death even for the complication people might know is uh misc but again you know you're a parent and so am I um every sort of case that can be prevented we want to prevent okay so she is herself admitting that there's no data to suggest this thing is highly deadly for small children and yet the kids as always are being used as the excuse for more top-down Public Health control so for example you have a doctor on CNN on MSNBC and named red Leonard the Irwin redliner is saying we haven't done enough to protect kids in schools we haven't done enough we need to do more to protect kids in schools kids in schools were never the main Vector of transmission particularly kids under the age of 12. by the way in the United States emergency use authorization has been extended for every single person above the age of 12 in the United States this is true internationally as well

small children are never they've never been the main vectors of transmission small children are not dying from the virus in any sort of statistically significant numbers the number of children who have died without any pre-existing conditions from the virus is so low it Beggars imagination in fact there was a Johns Hopkins study recently and it found I believe zero covet deaths among healthy young children hey that like thank God thank God for that but that's not stopping people from freaking out because again politicians the incentive structure in our society is so loaded against people allowing you Freedom if you're a politician and you are active and intervening in somebody's life even if the intervention is stupid and counterproductive and makes your life worse then we give the politicians credit for trying okay that is precisely the opposite of what we should be doing with our politicians politicians should be given

credit for leaving us the hell alone and only it's revening when necessity calls for it necessity does not call for this but people are so reliant on the government playing big brother and playing God I have to say I there's an almost religious quality to what people want from their government actors at this point there's religious quality to how people treat Anthony fauci and there's a religious quality to how people treat the government in general now death is coming the government will save me covet is it could you know I know that it's really not damaging the kids I know that the the masking procedures they are recommending are not going to be particularly effective but at least they're doing something at least they're doing something the government cannot protect you from life that is not the government's job the government is designed to protect you from externalities that are created

by other people acting in dangerous and irresponsible fashion that is not the same thing as you have the ability to protect yourself now the game fundamentally changed when vaccines became available period end of story nonetheless you have Dr redlander saying kids are at risk kids are not at serious risk of covid we have known this for a year children are at risk Garrett and they will be continuing to be at risk and maybe greater risk than they are right now so RSV is a virus that causes a very common virus that causes respiratory illness in children and before the pandemic we would see a lot of this in in very young children now we're seeing a rise in the RSV is called respiratory Sensational virus we're seeing a rise in that along with a rise in covid cases among children this does not portend very well for what's going to happen when we start opening schools and have of course children all

over the country going back into the classroom without necessarily even mandating that teachers and other adult workers in schools get vaccinated okay by the way um RSV is a different virus than covet RSV is a different virus than covet so we're seeing an RSV Spike and we're using that to now suggest that we need to lock down on the basis of covet it is a different virus so like this is just Madness it's just Madness and and all of this is is driving government actors who are more activists to say yeah you know what we've got to mask up our kids we need to mask the data on masking kids is nil okay in many countries they don't Mass kids the notion that masking kids has ever been highly protective of the surrounding Society is ridiculous and yet Governor Mike dewine of Ohio he gets points for for trying because he says that we should mask up kids at schools tell you what we have done we came out

last week with recommendations there are recommendations we leave it up to the Local Schools 600 and some local schools we leave it up to them but we have a strong recommendation that because the population in school kids in school most of them are unvaccinated um you know obviously we can't get any by 11 and under vaccinated yet so most of these kids are unvaccinated and we had great success last last winter last school year we saw virtually no spread in the classroom when all the kids were wearing masks so we recommend strong recommendation to our schools that they do that now some will do that some will not but it's clear the evidence shows that that's a way to really slow down spread in the school and we think it's very important okay is that what the evidence shows because we've been operating on the basis of almost no evidence with regard to Public Health measures since the beginning of this

pandemic to take the most obvious example we still have Governors and senators and public health officials saying that we need a social distance at six feet apart do you know where six feet apart came from I don't you know who else doesn't the CDC they've been asked directly where the six foot guidance comes from and the answer is nowhere literally nowhere okay the who has been saying that three foot minimums were the standard this is as of last year they were saying a three foot standard was the minimum because there were studies that were like 100 years old about droplets there's only one problem this virus is not a droplet driven virus okay it is aerosolized it's in the air once you speak it is out there there's studies suggesting that if you really want to socially distance from somebody with covid you need about 30 feet 30 not six so we've been operating on the basis of just bad data throughout this entire

pandemic and it just feels like immature people grasping at straws to try and control things that that they frankly cannot control very well and now it in the middle of the thing you get it again in the middle of the thing when you are grasping and straws you get it but I'll tell you when I don't get it I don't get it when the solution is there and when everybody's had the opportunity to Avail themselves of the solution and people are still insisting on this crap now there are people who are taking advantage right Randy Weingarten over the American Federation of teachers who's more one of the more malevolent forces in American public life she's already signaling that the schools might shut down again because the chief goal of so many of these teachers unions is to make sure their teachers never have to do a jot or tittle of war or carries Randy Weingarten one of the worst people in the United States

schools will be open they need to be open we need to make sure that they are safe and healthy the next question about will they stay open that's where we worry because when you have lots of kids particularly every child Under 12 has not been vaccinated we see the Delta variant being very transmissible so what so what if a bunch of five-year-olds give each other the Delta variants and they all get cold guess what that's called being five have you ever had a five-year-old okay I have two kids who are between the ages of five and eight and I have a one and a half year old the one and a half year old has basically never been sick because she's never seen Human Society because of covid the other two and that's not by choice now she's out there and she's circulating and all this and she gets a cold every so often because kids are just petri dishes I don't care if my five-year-old gets a cold I don't care

if my seven-year-old gets a cold no parent cares about this this is this bizarre idiotic notion that kids are never going to get sick again and that Randy Weingarten is deeply worried for your child unless they're vaccinated against a disease that's who date has killed 340 people under the age of 18. those are the CDC stats yesterday and apparently according Johns Hopkins zero of those kids were perfectly healthy at the time when they got covered she is saying that we're going to shut down schools again the level of control that unelected bureaucrats want to hold over your life is unending and that's why they need an unending pandemic we'll get to more of this in just one second because again there are exceptions to every rule the exceptions are that the specials themselves don't have to follow any of the rules we'll get to that in a moment first this past weekend you saw that there were vaccine passport protests in

Berlin they turned violent when police decided to start batoning women and children the media have turned a blind eye you haven't seen that covered very much why well it hurts the narrative that they have been spinning which is that the only thing that matters is the lockdowns okay authoritarianism has been on the move you're seeing it from the government you're seeing it from public health experts you're seeing it in your corporate life right where your boss is telling you what to think and what to believe you are seeing it at your schools where your schools are telling your kids that they have to believe that America is a terrible place and that based on their color they are they're steeped in the sins of the past this is why you need to pick up a brand new copy of my new book The authoritarian moment the book does a deep dive into the history of authoritarianism in the United States how it is creeping into

our own government what we can do to stop it it looks at every institution in the United States and looks at how the left renormalize those institutions and weaponize them against you in order to reverse that you have to understand how he got here the authoritarian moment details that and more importantly how we stop it it has an actual action plan in the authoritarian moment about how to stop what is going on right now the authoritarian moment it is now available at Amazon Barnes Noble or any other major Bookseller go get your copy right now leave a five-star review let others know the book is worth their time thank you if you want to know what it's like to be in the presence of the always trending Candace zones it's another day I believe she's trending again you are now in luck you can now enter to win a free trip to meet her and be part of her live studio audience if you sign up now as a daily wire remember with code VIP

pretty amazing that he's still the governor and apparently no one cares remember that time when he was embroiled in all these sexual harassment scandals and then those just kind of went away because he's a Democrat yeah that was fun anyway Andrew Cuomo he said yesterday that private businesses should ban the unvaccinated which is unbelievably stupid again these are all public health measures that are likely to achieve the opposite of what people who are pushing them supposedly want to achieve if you push all of the unvaccinated into one area and you push all the vaccinated into the other area which is what Andrew Cuomo is now proposing what do you suppose happens inside the unvaccinated area you think things spread slower or faster the answer is a lot faster if you want a higher case count make sure that you separate the vaccinated from the unvaccinated that's precisely what Andrew Cuomo is pushing because once

again our politics reward people for doing something even if that something is setting your hair on fire and then running directly into a tree you get rewarded for that in politics so long as you're doing something if you just say listen not much we can do here Live Your Life be on your own then the meteor life how dare you watch let people die death sentence here's the Andrew Cuomo setting his hair on fire and then running directly into a tree private businesses I am asking them and suggesting to them go to vaccine only admission go to vaccine only admission oh well um you know if they do that then that would probably fix everything except for how it's not going to the good news is that if you're a high profile Democrat you don't have to pay attention to any of this so here are CNN's John Berman defending maskless Nero Bowser attending a wedding so that it's good times if you're Muriel Bowser

you are so special the rules don't apply to you this has been true throughout the pandemic right if you're a Chris Cuomo you don't have to pay attention to quarantine rules and if you're Lori Lightfoot then you get to go get your hair done and if you're Nancy Pelosi you get to do the same thing the rules just don't apply to you you're one of the special people here is CNN's John Berman defending Muriel Bowser attending a wedding mask list indoors we were criticizing politicians for wearing masks still where the science was telling them oh they didn't need to be you know we kept on asking the White House why is Joe Biden still wearing a mask when the Mass guidance you know has changed and now of course we're saying she should be wearing a mask even though she was still following the guidance look I I get it if you're a politician you don't want a picture that raises questions that's bad Politics the

question is you know whether or not she did anything functionally policy wise wrong and I don't know well you know no no I mean we were yes it's her standard she's the one who just put a mask mandate in place again all of this is about control it's it is incredible how all of the right-wing fears about people taking advantage of a pandemic or Ground Control have now been basically Justified and this is coming from somebody who again was perfectly willing to suspend judgments on that particular question when we didn't know anything about the virus and I didn't say that people shouldn't wear masks I was not rapidly anti-mask I didn't say at any point that people shouldn't take vaccines I've been rapidly pro-vaccine but the point here is that now they're still grabbing power this isn't amazing it really is a low-key amazing story that people are just ignoring so according to USA Today the CDC has now

extended a policy that allows migrants to be expelled over coveted concerns so the Biden Administration wants to reject all of Donald Trump's immigration policies they've done that on the southern border and we've gotten an unprecedented flood of people washing across the border and citing Joe Biden's policy as a rationale so that's a bad headline they don't really want to openly walk back their own border policies so instead they've now empowered the CDC to do it for them we have giant bureaucracies who are simply empowered to do the thing that the president kind of wants to be done but he doesn't have to do it in a way that he's answerable for so the Biden Administration extended a trump air policy on Monday that allows migrants to be expelled to prevent the spread of covid-19 in holding facilities I'm sure that part of this by the way was a bunch of pictures that were coming out of those holding facilities in which

thousands of coveted positive people were waiting in lines and then reports that a lot of those people were just being released into the interior of the United States the CDC said in a statement the title 42 quote shall remain in effect until the CDC director determines that the danger of further introduction of covid-19 into the United States from covered non-citizens has ceased to be a serious danger to Public Health and the order is no longer necessary to protect the public health title 42 allows CBP that's Customs and Border Protection to expel undocumented migrants to prevent the spread of covid-19 in holding facilities some children and families are exempt from the policy DHS said in a statement title 42 is not an immigration Authority but a public health authority and its continued uses dictated by CDC and governed by the cdc's analysis of Public Health factors okay I was not so let's just get this

straight over the course of the pandemic the CDC which again stands for Centers for Disease Control has now been put in charge for purposes of centralizing power of federal eviction moratoriums right which again they have no constitutional or statutory power to do they do not have the power to Simply reject the ability of land of homeowners to collect rent an apartment owners to collect rent no one gave the CDC that Authority they just took it the CDC does not have plenary power over immigration apparently they now have been given plenary power over immigration and now they are doing this in the midst of what is a non-crisis we do not have a crisis in this country the unvaccinated have made a decision not to be vaccinated I can't say this enough times okay a crisis requires two things one a bad thing to happen and two for that thing to be relatively unpreventable what is happening right now is not only

not unpreventable it has largely been prevented by the vast vaccination of the American population and yet we're still doing this routine and so like I really wonder if America there's so many Americans who apparently are just willing to give up their freedom on the basis of pretty much nothing nothing the entire population of San Francisco apparently is going to go along with masking up despite a seven-day running death average of zero apparently Washington DC gonna do the same thing they have a running day seven day death average in Washington DC of zero and they're all masking up again and so this does lead me to wonder in a very serious way what is the future of this country seriously what is the future of this country because so long as you can sufficiently scare people you can get them to give any amount of power to the government apparently endless amounts of power to the government

you can imagine a situation in which a few years from now the the weather continues to to get wonky out there because we are experiencing yes a warming of the globe that is going to take place over the course of The Next Century and human beings have an extraordinary capacity to adapt but you can see our political boss is saying disaster will strike and you and your family will die unless we lock you in your house for three months a year without air conditioning right you think what will people be willing to do what sort of inconvenience will they be willing to to go along with in order to prevent the slightest chance of a bad thing happening we used to be a rather hardy people Liberty seeking people and I wonder you know whether we are now two peoples one group of people who are willing to undertake risk rational risk and one group of people who are utterly unwilling to count in any risk and are

willing to give unending power to a centralized authority to prevent themselves from even having to make the decision that's the question on my mind these days already we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of the Ben Shapiro show coming up soon the Matt wall 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 foreign if you enjoyed this episode don't forget to subscribe and if you want to help spread the word please give us a five star review and tell your friends to subscribe too we're available on Apple podcast Spotify and wherever you listen to podcasts also be sure to check out the other daily wire podcasts including the Andrew klavan show the Michael Knowles show and the Matt Walsh show thanks for listening the Ben Shapiro show is produced by Elliot fell executive producer Jeremy boring our supervising producer is Mathis Glover
