=== New York's Shallow Authoritarians (05:54) ===

[00:00:00]  These people are as interested in what happens in Iowa as you folks are on what happens on Neptune.
[00:00:08]  And so, believing that they are the center of the world, as New Yorkers do.
[00:00:14]  I grew up there, went to graduate and undergraduate school there.
[00:00:20]  They think this is the universe.
[00:00:25]  So, who the hell are you, Governor of South Dakota?
[00:00:29]  To enable your people to live a somewhat normal life and make a living when we in New York are suffering.
[00:00:38]  Get it?
[00:00:39]  That's what it is.
[00:00:42]  It is not conceivable New York City would have shut down if half the deaths of the country were in Montana.
[00:00:54]  Is that correct, ladies and gentlemen?
[00:00:59]  That's what I mean by the shallow media.
[00:01:01]  They don't ask anything of intelligence.
[00:01:04]  They're there simply to smear the president.
[00:01:07]  That is their raison d'etre.
[00:01:09]  That is it.
[00:01:10]  There is no other purpose to the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, etc.
[00:01:16]  That is their purpose.
[00:01:17]  They acknowledged it.
[00:01:18]  Remember the New York Times?
[00:01:20]  Well, CNN, this is all we're here.
[00:01:22]  We're just here to cover Trump and make sure he's not reelected.
[00:01:27]  35,000 deaths in the U.S., almost 17,000 of them in New York.
[00:01:40]  Thank you.
[00:01:41]  That means New York City.
[00:01:44]  So half the country.
[00:01:47]  Half the country's death.
[00:01:49]  Then you add New Jersey.
[00:01:51]  There's another 3,500.
[00:01:53]  It's more than half the country.
[00:01:58]  Anyway, it's almost pointless to add anything else because it's all New York.
[00:02:04]  You go from 16,736 New York to 3,500 New Jersey, 2,093 Michigan.
[00:02:16]  I mean, the numbers become very small relative to the population of the country.
[00:02:23]  Question.
[00:02:26]  Sean, would you please play the moronic Glendale recording that they sent to people?
[00:02:34]  That's where we broadcast.
[00:02:36]  The city has been taken over by shallow authoritarians.
[00:02:40]  I'm sorry to say, because I really enjoy it here.
[00:02:44]  It's worse than Los Angeles.
[00:02:45]  You do not have to wear a mask in Los Angeles when you're outside and not in a crowd.
[00:02:52]  But here you do.
[00:02:54]  $1,000 fine.
[00:02:58]  Okay, so that was my favorite part.
[00:03:05]  Walking your pet.
[00:03:06]  Because you may infect your pet.
[00:03:09]  It's a beautiful thing when you think about it.
[00:03:12]  Glendale's special.
[00:03:13]  See, it's an amazing...
[00:03:15]  I'll bet you there are one or two people...
[00:03:16]  I don't know who runs Glendale.
[00:03:18]  I have no idea.
[00:03:19]  Nobody in Glendale knows.
[00:03:22]  But some fanatic, some crackpot, someone who has fallen for this notion, better safe than sorry is the new motto of the United States, has just gone overboard.
[00:03:36]  Also, they get an erotic thrill of controlling others' lives.
[00:03:40]  I have no doubt about it.
[00:03:42]  It gives them the same rush.
[00:03:46]  That the act of intimacy does the endorphins that are produced and controlling other people is awesome You go home you feel good about yourself.
[00:03:56]  You're protecting your citizens.
[00:03:58]  You have power over people It's a rush Even some Republicans on occasion feel that but that is universal to the Democrats They have threatened a $1,000 fine.
[00:04:15]  I will take the $1,000 fine when I walk outside.
[00:04:18]  I will take the fine and then go to court.
[00:04:22]  And hopefully it will become a national story.
[00:04:25]  I have no desire for a national story, but I do have a desire to protect liberty.
[00:04:30]  You are not going to tell me to wear a mask under stupid circumstances because you think you have the power to.
[00:04:39]  Okay?
[00:04:41]  So that's my contempt.
[00:04:44]  I look forward to getting the $1,000 fine.
[00:04:51]  Somebody's got to fight, folks.
[00:04:54]  That's my nature, as I've said to you.
[00:04:56]  Good people are divided among three groups.
[00:04:59]  Remember, everything I've said has come home to roost.
[00:05:04]  Those who fight, those who help the fighters, and those who do nothing.
[00:05:07]  And the greatest number do nothing.
[00:05:09]  That's of good people.
[00:05:15]  Nothing is surprising to me.
[00:05:18]  Nothing.
[00:05:21]  Unfortunately, I might add.
[00:05:25]  I'm reading here in the American...
[00:05:28]  What is it?
[00:05:29]  The American Federal?
[00:05:30]  American Greatness and the Federal.
[00:05:31]  Which one is on the restaurants that you just sent me?
[00:05:37]  Federal.

=== Saving Grace (02:24) ===

[00:05:39]  The danger of vast numbers of restaurants closing.
[00:05:44]  You know, Sweden didn't close down.
[00:05:46]  People have been at restaurants the whole time.
[00:05:48]  Scientists have gone berserk against Sweden.
[00:05:52]  Because scientists believe that they're gods.
[00:05:55]  That's why the Talmud has a great line, the best of the doctors goes to hell.
[00:06:01]  I very rarely cite the Hebrew.
[00:06:06]  It's of no use to the vast majority of you, but I'm doing it now because I think you need to know I didn't make it up.
[00:06:17]  Yes, they had more wisdom 2,000 years ago.
[00:06:20]  Less knowledge, but more wisdom.
[00:06:23]  Because people in the sciences think they're gods.
[00:06:27]  Not all.
[00:06:28]  There are some wonderful people in the sciences.
[00:06:32]  And there are a lot of narcissists.
[00:06:35]  It's very easy to think you're God when you're involved in health.
[00:06:42]  You know, you have life and death.
[00:06:45]  How many of us deal with life and death every day?
[00:06:48]  They're very angry at Sweden.
[00:06:56]  you You didn't listen to scientists?
[00:07:00]  I guess, you know what?
[00:07:02]  I guess Sweden is deniers.
[00:07:06]  Well, never been a fan of Sweden.
[00:07:10]  They were neutral in World War II, so my unhappiness with Sweden goes back a long time.
[00:07:19]  They were the leaders in attacking the U.S. over Vietnam.
[00:07:25]  And a whole host of issues.
[00:07:30]  But now, I gotta say...
[00:07:33]  You never know where your saving grace, as it will, will come from.
[00:07:43]  Another psalm.
[00:07:45]  Where will my saving?
[00:07:48]  Not in Savior in the sense of the Christian concept of Savior, but who's going to save me?
[00:07:56]  And it turns out, Sweden.
[00:08:02]  The Swedes believe that they have herd immunity.
