People Are Fed Up With The Coronavirus Restrictions | Larry Elder

Time Text
I don't need to tell you, people have had it.
Had it with these coronavirus mandates, restrictions, lockdowns.
This is from the Federalists.
One in four adults aged 18 to 24 reported seriously contemplating suicide within the last 30 days.
16% of those aged 25 to 44 reported the same.
But there has been another cost that we've seen, particularly in high schools.
We're seeing, sadly, far greater suicides now than we are deaths from COVID. We're seeing far greater deaths from drug overdose that are above excess than we had as background than we are seeing deaths from COVID. There is also an alarming report out that shows murders have increased during this pandemic.
It shows while overall crimes are down, murders are actually up 20% this year compared to this time last year.
Now, the Crosstown report from USC shows that 239 people were murdered in L.A. between January and September of this year.
You compare that to just under 200 people who were killed during the same period last year.
This is what is known as unintended consequences.
You know, higher suicides, higher divorce, higher domestic violence, higher depression, higher drug abuse, higher alcoholism, to say nothing of higher bankruptcies and much, much higher unemployment.
This Minneapolis principal organized with other Minneapolis principals, and they've had it, with denying kids in-school education?
I have kids that so badly and so deeply want to be in school.
They want to play their sports.
They want to get in the weight room.
They want to work out.
And because of COVID, guess what?
They can't do anything.
We're kicking them out of the school.
We're kicking them out of the weight room.
They can't practice.
They can't work out.
All of these things because of COVID. But just down the street, they see people doing whatever they want.
They see tents up.
They see hundreds of people just not social distancing.
And their law enforcement drives right past it.
We're seeing out in the open whole parking lots that are being taken over.
Whole blocks that are being taken over.
People who have substance abuse problems, chemical dependency issues, all of these other things, and they are just allowed to be however they want to be, but my kids can't work out?
It doesn't make any sense, and the kids know it doesn't make any sense.
Governor Newsom is apologizing for attending a birthday party that violated the state's COVID-19 guidelines.
The governor and his wife attended a party last week for an advisor at the French Laundry Restaurant in Napa County with a dozen guests in attendance.
State guidelines prohibit gatherings of more than three households.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, there were more than that there.
In a statement Friday, Newsom said, Nancy Pelosi is under fire today after a surveillance video shows her at a hair salon getting a blowout and not wearing a face mask.
The optics don't look better.
There needs to be a whole lot of explanation.
It's terrible.
Nancy Pelosi is a hypocrite.
The most powerful woman in America can be seen with wet hair inside a salon in San Francisco.
Problem is, under California COVID-19 regulations, clients cannot be serviced indoors.
All blowouts, dye jobs, and styling must be conducted outdoors like this.
After facing a wave of criticism, Governor Cuomo changes his Thanksgiving plans.
In a Monday interview, the governor said his 89-year-old mother and his two daughters, two of them, would be joining him in Albany for the holiday.
Social media went crazy over that, as Cuomo's been warning New Yorkers about the dangers of spreading COVID with family members who don't live with you.
The governor now says he plans to work on Thanksgiving instead.
How frustrated, how angry are people about these mass mandates and these other mandates that the politicians themselves don't even abide by?
In New Jersey, like many states, there is a mass mandate.
And unfortunately, the Democratic governor of New Jersey was out dining.
Here's what happened.
Hey, how you doing?
How you doing?
You're having fun with your family?
In the meantime, you're having all kinds of other bull going on at your house?
Are you guys a little too drunk?
No, I'm not drunk, as a matter of fact.
Well, can you put your mask on?
You can go yourself.
How's that?
Well, you don't have a mask on.
You know why I don't need a mask?
Because there ain't nothing wrong with me.
I like your Trump bucket.
You're right, you do.
That's who Trump likes.
He likes my dad.
No, he doesn't like your dad.
- It does.
- Get the out of here.
- Thank you.
- Let's go, let's go. - Get the out of here. - I think you guys should drink some water.
- You know what, you suck, you mother.
- Now, I don't advocate that kind of behavior.
I don't advocate that kind of language.
I don't advocate, as Maxine Waters and the Democrats do, that you surround your opposition and verbally assault them, if not threaten them physically.
I'm not into that.
And we ought not be that way either.
I'm just talking about the fact that people have reached the boiling point.
Well, I was a previous mayor of the city of Thousand Oaks where I reside.
I was a city councilman.
I resigned in April when the governor said that the church was non-essential during our Holy Week.
And I knew the council would have to censure me, but I can't live with that.
I swore to defend the Constitution.
And he's infringing on our rights.
And I couldn't do that as an elected official.
So I resigned from my office.
We held communion, even though the governor said we were non-essential.
Abortion clinics are, liquor stores, cannabis distributors, but not the church.
And then after he embraced the riots, we were practicing all the CDC standards until we started to realize that this virus did not merit what was happening.
He embraced the riots in LA and praised them.
So we opened up wide, May 31st.
And up until recently, we hadn't had a single case of COVID. We haven't had one that's been contracted at the church.
We've had folks who've come down with it.
We were given a restraining order, and they're fining us every Sunday.
Every time we're open, the health officials out there noting all the violations, and the health officer got a 12.5% raise, while 65% of the restaurants in our county will never reopen.
They've devastated our county.
And this is insane.
And now you have to strip to remain open as a church.
Now these New York business people were assembling to discuss the new coronavirus restrictions, how they were going to operate their businesses when these New York health officials show up.
Let's just say it didn't go well.
These people actually work for their money and they don't want to lose their livelihood.
I've lost friends, I've lost family who've killed themselves.
I've seen clients die because they've lost their livelihood.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I know you are, and I'm asking for you to guys have some compassion for the people that have lost everything.
We do have compassion for people who have lost everything.
Okay, well, you need to go have compassion out in the parking lot.
This is private property.
It's private property.
Go get a war.
Listen, man, this is private property.
They're not wanted here.
So do your jobs.
Well, her job is...
Well, no, no.
Your job is to remove people that are not wanted here.
We're wanted here.
They're not.
She's hiding her name tag.
She had her name tag.
I'm not.
It's right here.
You can see my name tag.
They're just doing that job.
There we go.
You should not be wearing masks.
I'm not doing anything wrong.
Don't worry about my health.
My health isn't your concern.
You're meant to be wearing a mask.
Okay, well, then write me up.
It's the law.
Okay, then take me to jail.
It's not the law.
Then take me to jail.
Show me the law.
Show me the law.
You have to leave.
You guys have to leave.
You have to leave.
Right now you're trespassing without a warrant.
You're trespassing.
You're trespassing.
Go get a warrant.
Go get a warrant.
Yes, you do.
Come back with a warrant or leave.
Go on your phone outside.
Go on your phone outside.
Where did you have a report from?
Who reported it?
You know what?
I don't know.
It's anonymous, right?
It's anonymous.
It can't be anonymous.
You need to know you're accusing.
You need to know it cannot be anonymous.
It cannot be anonymous.
It cannot be anonymous.
You don't get to write the policies.
You don't get to violate the Constitution.
It's code enforcement.
This isn't the same as that.
You don't circumvent or subvert the Constitution.
Okay, Mets, you need to leave.
Oh, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out.
Now, put this New Jersey man in the category of a little confused about put this New Jersey man in the category of a little confused about the New This is so nice to go, I don't.
I want you to know Sheila and I are here in Jersey and we love it.
We are becoming very educated.
We watch the news all the time and we want to give you a news brief on what's going on.
As for Cuomo, Cuomo Cuomo and the Murphy, what they tell us, if you go to the bar before 10 o'clock, no corona.
If you go after 10, corona.
If you go to the restaurant before 10 o'clock, you are safe.
You are fine.
After 10, Corona.
If you go into your house and you are just 10 people, you are safe and good.
But number 11, Shema Yisrael, the worst, Corona.
If you go on the airplane, jam-packed.
Crazy crowded, you are fine.
No corona.
If you go to the shul or the shelter where you worship, corona.
If you go to the parade or the riot or the rally, no corona.
But if you tell your friend hello from six feet, corona.
It all sounds like some bad movie.
It sure feels that way, doesn't it?
I'm Larry Elder, and we've got a country to save.
