=== Health Uber Alles (05:07) ===

[00:00:01]  It's the front page of the California section.
[00:00:05]  Burbank is a particularly despicably run city.
[00:00:10]  Their commitment to freedom is an embarrassment.
[00:00:16]  They're the ones I condemned years ago, as I explained earlier.
[00:00:20]  You can't smoke a cigar in a cigar shop in Burbank.
[00:00:24]  Health uber alas.
[00:00:26]  It is a form of health fascism, which I... Look, I've said health uber alis, right?
[00:00:32]  Health above all.
[00:00:33]  Power to the restaurant was shut off March 13th after the city received permission from an L.A. County Superior Court judge to do so.
[00:00:42]  The judges are...
[00:00:43]  See, it doesn't matter.
[00:00:45]  There's no recourse.
[00:00:47]  Nobody values freedom.
[00:00:49]  They only value what the health authorities say.
[00:00:54]  It's an amazing thing.
[00:00:57]  These people go to college and graduate school and then question nothing.
[00:01:02]  Oh, the health authorities.
[00:01:06]  That's it.
[00:01:06]  That's all you have to say.
[00:01:07]  Health authorities.
[00:01:10]  How about if I think I'll die, I won't go into Tin Horn Flats?
[00:01:15]  How's that?
[00:01:18]  Why is that not an option?
[00:01:22]  Oh, because then I'll give it to others.
[00:01:25]  Well then, you can't have anything?
[00:01:28]  No place can be open.
[00:01:31]  Which is what they wanted and did.
[00:01:38]  Dr. Fauci can't explain why the Texas numbers are not going up.
[00:01:43]  Remember, he warned against that.
[00:01:45]  Texas opened up.
[00:01:47]  Gee, they're not dropping dead like flies.
[00:01:54]  A Los Angeles county.
[00:01:55]  They never give the names of these judges.
[00:01:57]  Isn't that fascinating?
[00:01:59]  Why is that?
[00:02:05]  The Lepegians, that's the family who owns it, soon brought in a generator to provide limited electricity.
[00:02:13]  The Burbank City Attorney's Office is reviewing the cases.
[00:02:17]  No determination has been made about what, if any, charges will be brought.
[00:02:22]  Anyway, they've been fined $50,000.
[00:02:25]  Isn't that correct?
[00:02:27]  And boarded up.
[00:02:29]  There's a picture of it.
[00:02:31]  Sandbags in front of it.
[00:02:33]  Like the guy was selling hand grenades.
[00:02:36]  He's trying to make a living selling hamburgers.
[00:02:40]  America 2021, thanks to the left.
[00:02:45]  Obedience to authority.
[00:02:46]  That is the motto.
[00:02:48]  One of the mottos of the left.
[00:02:53]  Obedience.
[00:02:53]  Amazing, isn't it?
[00:02:55]  Well, I'll tell you, folks, and this is where secular conservatives have really not thought this thing through.
[00:03:01]  When you don't have obedience to God, you have obedience to authorities.
[00:03:05]  That's what the founders knew.
[00:03:07]  Even an atheist conservative needs to understand that.
[00:03:10]  But they don't This has been a Burbank could see this has been in a challenging situation that may not be easily understood and resolved and What does that mean?
[00:03:29]  This is the statement from the Burbank fascists.
[00:03:34]  The little people who run Burbank.
[00:03:37]  Especially when you are dealing with persons who willfully disobey the law.
[00:03:43]  Who set the law?
[00:03:44]  Who made the law?
[00:03:45]  The health authorities?
[00:03:47]  You make the law?
[00:03:49]  That's it?
[00:03:49]  Just declare?
[00:03:52]  Candid Camera, in its great days, you know, in the 70s, they had a skit.
[00:04:00]  You know, what they would do is they would set people up and then have a hidden camera show their reactions.
[00:04:06]  In the middle of Manhattan, on one block, they put up a sign, backward walking zone.
[00:04:13]  And almost everybody walked backward.
[00:04:17]  Now, by the way, I would have too.
[00:04:20]  Just for the record.
[00:04:21]  But as a joke.
[00:04:22]  Because I thought, this is a crack-up.
[00:04:24]  But if it was meant seriously, this is New York City law that you must walk backward for a block, I wouldn't have done that.
[00:04:33]  This is a very divisive issue within our city.
[00:04:37]  Well, that's good news.
[00:04:38]  I'm happy to hear it.
[00:04:40]  There are actually people in Burbank who believe that freedom is the greater value here.
[00:04:49]  And it's at a time when we should be focusing on our recovery from the pandemic.

=== Defiant Actor's Vote (01:54) ===

[00:04:56]  You don't mean that.
[00:04:57]  Our recovery from the lockdown.
[00:05:01]  Every time you see pandemic, folks, substitute lockdown.
[00:05:06]  Economy crushed because of pandemic?
[00:05:08]  Lie.
[00:05:09]  Because of lockdown.
[00:05:12]  Increase in suicides because of the pandemic?
[00:05:15]  Lie.
[00:05:16]  Because of the lockdown.
[00:05:20]  Far more instances of spousal and child battery because of the pandemic?
[00:05:26]  Lie.
[00:05:27]  Because of the lockdown.
[00:05:29]  But instead it is being overshadowed by this one defiant actor in our community.
[00:05:36]  I would like to take a vote among Burbank's residents.
[00:05:41]  How many people think this man should be put out of business?
[00:05:45]  I think most do, by the way.
[00:05:50]  The rich are far less committed to liberty than the middle class.
[00:05:58]  And Burbank has a lot of rich people.
[00:06:01]  A lot of the Hollywood woke crowd.
[00:06:05]  Whose livelihoods have not been hit like the guy who owns the hamburger joint.
[00:06:13]  Burbank City officials declined through a spokesman to comment beyond their public statements.
[00:06:18]  Why don't they have a press conference and allow people to challenge them?
[00:06:22]  Because they can't stand dissent.
[00:06:26]  No leftist has ever tolerated dissent.
[00:06:29]  From Lenin to Biden.
[00:06:34]  Obedience.
[00:06:38]  Unquestioning obedience.
[00:06:44]  Okay.
[00:06:46]  Well, we support this man.
