Time Text
Every group I distrust is behind this crap.
The media, the left, and the experts.
Harvard was the first to close school.
Remember that?
Schools should have stayed open, like they did in Sweden.
Then you'd have this vast number of young people developing immunity, and you get what you call herd immunity.
The stupidest ideas to send kids home.
But of course it came from Harvard.
Because they're stupid at Harvard.
Do you understand that now?
My whole life I've known this since I was at Columbia.
Experts are stupid because they think knowledge gives them wisdom.
It gives them nothing but knowledge.
But I can get that knowledge from the internet.
But the internet doesn't make policy.
And all of my anger is on your behalf.
I am doing fine.
I have my job.
I have my income.
I have my family.
I have my health.
I have my home.
A vast number, hundreds of millions of human beings will not have food, will not have homes, will break up, will commit suicide because the experts scared you and you got spooked because you watch CNN all day.
That's an asshole.
CNN is an asshole God Yeah mayor of Vegas, yeah Yeah, let's hear another heroine.
Go ahead.
With Anderson Cooper on the network of fools.
I'd love everything open because I think we've had viruses for years that have been here.
That is the call you said you weren't making.
That is the call.
You want casinos open, you want stadiums open, you want restaurants open, you want Vegas back in business.
Anderson, you're being very specific and I appreciate it because that's where you're seeing it.
No, the reality is I want us to open in the city of Las Vegas so our people can go back to work.
And that's it because we're putting children and families back out on the street and very much a part of it for our convention business are our hotels and yes, gambling.
And gambling is a part of it.
So you want conventions in the town too?
Absolutely.
I want everything back.
We've never closed down the United States.
We've never closed down Nevada.
We've never closed down Las Vegas because that's our job, an entertainment capital of the world where everything's clean.
We would never have gotten to the point we are now as the center for entertainment and conventions and sports and everything else.
It's so positive without being clean.
Right.
I mean, you're talking about encouraging hundreds of thousands of people to come to Las Vegas.
I get the financial losses people are suffering, which is awful.
But you're encouraging, I mean, hundreds of thousands of people coming there in casinos, smoking, drinking, touching slot machines, breathing circulated air, and then returning home to states around America and countries around the world.
Doesn't that sound like a virus petri dish?
I mean, how is that saying?
You know what it sounds like?
You're being an alarmist.
I'm not.
I've lived a long life.
I grew up in the heart of Manhattan.
I know what it's like to be with subways and on buses and crammed into elevators.
I think you are by saying what you have just said.
So you don't believe there should be any social distancing?
You don't believe that this is a...
Of course I believe there should be.
Of course.
How do you do that in a casino?
That's up to them to figure out.
I don't own a casino.
I don't know anything about building a casino.
Wait a minute.
I'm sorry.
You're the mayor of Las Vegas.
Yes.
And you want casinos to be open, even though you have no authority, thank you, over casinos.
Yes.
But you say open them up, but you have no responsibility about how that would be done safely?
No, no, you're blurring.
No, no, you're blurring.
You said it's not your job.
I'm not going there.
I am not a private owner of a hotel.
I wish I were.
And I would have the cleanest hotel with six feet figured out for every human being comes in there.
If you can't figure out how to do this safely, why, as mayor of a city that you were responsible for...
Okay, hold on there.
Stop there.
I'll tell you why, Anderson.
Because in America, as opposed to the CNN Socialist Soviet Republic, we believe that the individual makes those answers.
And you and the government do not tell me how to live my life.
That's the reason.
But this is so foreign to Anderson Cooper and every single person at CNN that the government would not tell you how to live your life That it sounds awful to him That I see that That's what they said.
The mayor of Vegas wants her people to be guinea pigs.
The mayor of Vegas believes that individuals should make their own response.
You see, she doesn't know.
It's too bad.
If I could speak to Anderson Cooper, I would ask him a question.
I would not answer anything he wanted to ask me, but I would say, Anderson in 1957, which has never been reported on CNN to the best of my knowledge, in 1957, 116,000 Americans, equivalent to about 180,000 Americans today, died of the flu.
Nothing was shut down.
What is the difference between America today, other than CNN being a scaremongering, fear-inducing, irresponsible, demagogic place, what is the difference between America in 1957 and America today?
And you could drop the part on my attack on CNN. Just what is the difference, Anderson?
Why didn't they ruin everybody's life?
In 1957, with far more death.
Because it was a better country, Anderson.
Americans were not afraid.
You are.
Everyone on the left is afraid.
They're afraid of death, and they're afraid of life.
That's why there are safe spaces at universities, because the left is scared.
When the scared run things, your society is over.
That is the end of society.
When the afraid run it.
You think he'll invite me on?
He should.
Right?
I have a large audience.
Billion views a year at PragerU.
Vast radio audience.
Big readership.
Do they have any dissenting voices on CNN? This is an open question.
I thought dissent is patriotic.
That was the left's view.
Remember the bumper stickers when George W. Bush was president?
Dissent is patriotic.
Dissent is only patriotic when there's a Democrat in office.
I really am angry, I gotta say.
Not like me.
I'm angry on the world's behalf.
