Speaker 1 (00:00):
The CDC, the centers or disease controls urging everybody to
do nothing. Go nowhere, stay home. Uh during Thanksgiving, by
all meat, don't do anything. Stay where you are, Stay
hunkered down. That's what Americans are known for. Stay hunkered

(00:21):
down in a corner. Find the cubby hole where you live,
where the Navy seals have to be thrown in there
to get you out. If they can't find you, make
sure you protect yourself by hiding from everything. During its
Coronavirus Task Force briefing yesterday, the Health and Human Services
Secretary alex as Are announced that the fighter will ask

(00:45):
for Emergency f d A approval for their coronavirus vaccine
today and that the Trump administration is going to ship
millions of doses of vaccine within twenty four hours of approval.
Vice President Penns said that quote literally, we could we
could well be a matter of just a few weeks
away from a vaccine being available across this country for

(01:09):
the most vulnerable among us. That's for this, As I
said yesterday, I think we Americans understandably so, so I
don't want to sound like I'm preaching. We simply we
take uh greatness. Many of Us, for example, for granted,

(01:32):
because we have come to expect it, because we live
in America where greatness is part of the daily existence
for a lot of people. And even though there has
been a lot of effort made over the years by
the Democrat Party to demonize major American corporations like big

(01:54):
Pharma and like a big tobacco, big box retail, big food,
big whatever, American people, even those that end up falling
prey for this and end up having these corporations, nevertheless
expect that the products they produce are going to work.

(02:16):
They also resent how much they cost, and they think
they were engouged, but expect them to work. To have
a vaccine for something like this in less than a
year is unheard of. It's unprecedented. It is, it is,

(02:38):
and and to be this effective, this is this is
something you need to actively take a step back and
seriously appreciate because it is a major, stunning achievement that
could have only happened in this country. And there's another big,

(03:00):
primary reason why it was able to happen in less
than a year, and that's President Donald Trump, who single
handedly did away with restrictive, penalizing, obstacle oriented regulations. Had

(03:21):
the regulations that were in place when Trump was inaugurated
remained in place during this past year, we wouldn't be
talking about nearing the release of a vaccine for anything.
We wouldn't even be talking about being very far down
the road in research and development. We wouldn't be talking

(03:41):
at all about having begun any kind of testing. Had
it not been for Trump, who understood understands the punitive,
obstacle oriented nature of regulation. Had he not swept them away,

(04:04):
we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are in this vaccine.
This is something for which a lot of people need
to have a lot of appreciation. And I want to
say one more thing about regulation in general. The regulators,
we can sit here and we can beat them up,
and we do. They're unelected. We don't know who they are.

(04:29):
There are literally tens of thousands of them, if not more,
in the federal government. They are in every cabinet level
agency and department. They literally make up the vast majority
of employees in every department. Regulators. It's very crucial to
know that they're not elected. That's akin to saying they're

(04:52):
not accountable, and they're not accountable because nobody knows who
they are. They have immense power. They have the ability
to write law, quality regulation, dictating how you and I
can and cannot behave, how companies can and cannot behave,
what companies can and cannot do, what they can make,

(05:12):
what they can't make. It's it's it's it's entirely anti
the Democrat process, democratic process. Yet they exist. Why do
they exist? Well, it's not entirely their fault. I mean,
if you are appointed to be a regulator at Department

(05:34):
of Homeland Security or a regulator at the f d A,
you'll gladly take the gig. But who is it that
makes all this possible? I mean, if you wanted to
all of a sudden make these people accountable, who would
do that? Well, the people that allow them to exist
in the first place, and the people who allow them
to exist in the first place is the Congress. And

(05:56):
the Congress is made up of the House in the Senate,
and the House and the Senate for much of my life,
has been very comfortable in punting, kicking down the road
controversial issues of any kind so that they don't have
to make the decision, so that there is not a

(06:18):
decision that people can run against them on at the
next election. Classic example, when it came time in the
late eighties early nineties to close the military basis, we
had had a successful run in Wall. We had gone
to Kuwait, we kicked Saddam Hussein out of there, and

(06:39):
then we had eventually kicked Saddam Hussein out of a rock.
So we had we'd had much Muccio success there. And
after that success, it came time to close the military basis.
A lot of people say, why, why why are you
to close the basis that cars, they're redundant. We have
like an in Sacramento. You've got so many bases are
there on top of each other. We don't need that.

(06:59):
Meg us them down. Oh okay, Well, who's gonna make
a decision close them down? Well, we're going to assemble
a blue ribbon committee. Really, who's going to be on
the committee? Well, we don't know, but none of them
are going to be elected. Oh so the Congress appointed
people who had worked maybe had been in Congress before,

(07:23):
members of the House or the Senate, or people had
worked at the Pentagon, and they formed the blue ribbon
panel that made the decision which bases were closed, not
your elected representatives. They wanted nothing to do with it.
When the decision was made on which basis to close,

(07:45):
they couldn't be blamed they didn't do it. So when
a base near Sacramento got closed, the people in Sacramento affected,
Miyke got hold of their a local congress. So what
the hell are you doing to are we gonna do
with it? That blue been panel over there did it?
You need to go talk to them. But what are
what good are they going to do? They're not elected,
they're out of business. They shut down. That's how regulators

(08:09):
came to exist. So, yeah, we bemoan what they do,
but they exist because other people don't want to do
the work they do. They don't want to have their
names attached to controversial decisions. Therefore, they don't want opponents
to be able to run against them when it's re

(08:31):
election time on the basis that they did something that
really made a lot of people mad. So that's how
we end up with all these regulators. Well, these regulators
have been allowed to propagate like what what what are
those animals? That is what nint unint money whatever it is,
other propagating all over the place out here, like the

(08:53):
Clintons anyway, and and they have just been multiplying out
there at a rate you can't keep up with. And
they do what there They regulate. They write regulations on
who can build a house where, how close it can
be to the water, whether you can have your lights

(09:14):
on at night because there are turtles lurking around on
the beach, or whatever. Do you know, ladies and gentlemen,
that in the nineteen thirties, that's the Great Depression, the
Great Depression, massive unemployment. I mean it was, it was horrible.

(09:38):
In the nineteen thirties, we built in four years the
Golden gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge that connects Oakland to
San Francisco, the Hoover Dam, and the Empire State Building
in ten years. In the nineteen thirties, there were no regulations.

(10:03):
Very few people were hired to do very dangerous work,
and they did it because it was the Depression. We
couldn't build something like the Golden gate Bridge today in
four years if our lives depended on it. So we
used to be in this nation of tremendous buildings. Long

(10:24):
story pointed. Donald Trump came in and swept away not
the regulators, but he got rid of mountains. He illustrated
it in a photo op stacks and stacks of paper
representing regulations that were like twelve stacks twelve ft tall
versus the number of regulations in the nineteen sixties three

(10:48):
stacks that were twelve inches tall. He got rid of
all of those inside of two to three years. And
it's what permitted Fighter and the rest of these big
farmer company us to be ready to go with a
vaccine in less than a year. Unheard of. It's evidence

(11:10):
right in front of our face what needs to be happening.
Shrink government, get rid of regulations, get rid of regulators
more so than I mean, do you realize how little
legislation is actually passed into law every year? You realize
how little Congress in the Senate actually agree on outside
of the budget, there's very little. It's exactly as the

(11:32):
founding fathers intended it. Then how do we have all
these new laws every year from the regulators and Congress
as happy as they can be with it Because their
names are not honor that nothing they can be punished for,
in no way they can be held accountable. But getting
rid of the regulations paves the way for a vaccine

(11:58):
for the coronavirus that would otherwise never happened, not be possible.
Speaking of which Dr de Fauci says that the vaccines
are safe. So there, the vaccines are safe and they
have not been hurried. Dr Anthony Faucci assured the public
on Thursday that a coronavirus vaccine would be safe and effective,

(12:22):
and he called for an end to suggestions that the
development was rushed for political purposes. He said the process
of the speed did not compromise at all safety, nor
did it compromise scientific integrity. It was a reflection of
the extraordinary scientific advances in these types of vaccines which

(12:47):
allowed us to do it in months where it actually
took years before, said doctor Faucci, He's missing. Look, the
people working on this are obviously brilliant, but it still
couldn't happen with all the brilliance in the world, with
all the scientific research in the world, with all the
Dr Fauci approval in the world. It couldn't have happened

(13:10):
if President Trump had not shrunk regulations to the point
of them being invisible.
