Why would I knowingly subject myself to that lying asswipe's rant?

Yeah, I can see where it would seriously cut into the time that you subject yourself to the rants of the lying asswipes at CNN, MSLSD, NYT, etcetera.

Many leaders let us down with their absurd decisions and claims.

The Wuhan Virus Pandemic has Exposed the American Ruling Class
By Steve McCann
April 24,2020
Excerpt:
At the culmination of a national health or societal crisis in the United States, it has become de rigueur for the media and innumerable pundits ensconced within the professional class to perform a post-mortem on how the citizenry handled the crisis and what lessons the rubes in fly-over country should have learned. But in the current pandemic, the top levels of professional class that populates the ruling class and runs the media and the major institutional bureaucracies has irretrievably unmasked itself. And the in the postmortems that will come, they will be found deficient.
Credulous Cowards
An immutable tenet of today’s ruling class is that if someone or an institution within their power base is labeled as “experts,” then these authorities are not to be questioned and their assumptions, predictions or projections must be treated as gospel. The century that followed the rise of the Wilsonian progressives, who idolized a powerful government run by educated experts, saw enormous scientific, medical, and industrial achievements the hands of experts, the products of higher education. The professional class, usually products of higher education, grants deference to certified experts, and the media makes celebrities out of those experts that support important goals of the ruling class. Experts have had a very good century.
In the early stages of the coronavirus outbreak, the World Health Organization, a darling of the American elites, claimed China was successfully mitigating the spread and the virus was not spread by human to human contact. Other experts, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, claimed the virus was not a serious threat. These proclamations were believed without question by the ruling class as is borne out at the time by their public statements, published articles and mocking of President Trump for taking the threat far more seriously than any of the nation’s elites.
However, on March 16, an even higher echelon of experts, the Imperial College in London, came out with a study projecting 2.2 million Americans would die if no mitigation took place or 1.1 million if an unprecedented societal shutdown were imposed. This immediately became the new mantra and the media arm of the ruling class was dispatched to spread this apocalyptic message far and wide and to now vilify President Trump for not doing enough soon enough.
Within 10 days, however, the Imperial College walked back their doomsday scenario reducing the fatality estimates by over 90%. Nonetheless, thanks to our media class, mass hysteria was consuming the nation, so more experts were needed to keep up the drumbeat of fear and trepidation.

[Music]
00:03
good evening and welcome to tucker
00:05
carlson tonight quote what is our goal
00:08
get him to lie so we can prosecute or
00:11
get him fired end quote
00:14
those are from handwritten notes of a
00:17
senior FBI official plotting with others
00:19
to frame and potentially prosecute
00:21
General Michael Flynn which happened we
00:25
told you earlier this week that it did
00:27
happen and that a smoking gun was coming
00:29
to prove it happened that smoking gun is
00:31
here tonight we've got breaking details
00:33
for you on it in just a moment but first
00:35
we want to begin with an update on the
00:37
state of this country on Saturday former
00:39
President Barack Obama went golfing at
00:41
the Robert Trent Jones Country Club in
00:43
suburban Virginia he's a member there
00:44
Obama was driven to the course about 40
00:47
miles from his home in the District of
00:48
Columbia by a government show for here's
00:51
a picture of it from Politico if you
00:54
look you can see that Obama is clearly
00:55
enjoying himself and honestly why
00:57
wouldn't he be it's beautiful out on the
01:00
links and airy you'll notice there
01:02
aren't many people around and that's
01:04
because both Virginia and Washington DC
01:06
are still under quarantine everybody
01:08
else is locked at home as they have been
01:11
for more than a month but not former
01:13
President Obama for him golfing at his
01:16
Country Club was an essential activity
01:18
now two days later after this picture
01:21
was taken the beleaguered residents of
01:24
Washington DC began to receive a public
01:26
service announcement on their phones the
01:28
message had been recorded at the request
01:30
of the DC government by Barack Obama's
01:33
wife the former first lady Michelle
01:34
Obama here's what the message said
01:37
remember we urge you to stay home except
01:41
if you need essential health care
01:43
essential food or supplies or to go to
01:47
your central job stay home except for
01:52
essential health care essential food
01:54
essential jobs that is Michelle Obama's
01:58
message to you it didn't seem to occur
02:00
to her that those standards might also
02:03
apply to her family and that's why she
02:05
didn't mention essential trips to your
02:07
Country Club the fact that the rules
02:10
apply to them doesn't seem to occur to
02:12
anyone
02:13
in power at the moment just a few weeks
02:15
ago Lori Lightfoot the mayor of Chicago
02:16
was caught getting her hair done at a
02:18
time when the city of Chicago had closed
02:20
salons to mere civilians like foot
02:23
stylists ratted her out on Facebook her
02:26
excuse quote I'm the public face of this
02:29
city I'm on national media and I'm out
02:31
in the public eye
02:33
in other words said Lightfoot I'm far
02:35
more important than you are shut up
02:37
across the country our leaders are
02:39
making a mockery of the quarantines they
02:42
so enthusiastically enforce they have no
02:44
intention of abiding by the restrictions
02:46
they impose on their fellow citizens
02:47
they've no interest in any scientific
02:50
development and increasingly there are
02:51
many of them that challenges the wisdom
02:54
of their lockdowns
02:55
day by day evidence accumulates that
02:57
mass quarantines are not achieving what
02:59
politicians claim they would achieve not
03:01
even close
03:02
huge numbers of people have been
03:04
infected anyway far fewer of them are
03:06
dying than we expected our political
03:09
leaders meanwhile pretend as if none of
03:10
this is happening just yesterday Maine
03:13
Governor Janet Mills extended her
03:15
state's lockdown into the indefinite
03:16
future she commanded citizens to remain
03:19
in their homes except for essential
03:21
activities and quote occasional grocery
03:23
shopping
03:24
Mills prohibited bars and restaurants
03:27
and summer camps and some state parks
03:29
from opening she made it illegal for
03:31
hotels to book guests even for future
03:34
stays she canceled every summer festival
03:37
in the state she told every Church to
03:39
keep its doors locked
03:40
ensuring that many of them will go
03:42
defunct and disappear forever and she
03:45
told the people of Maine to change their
03:47
personal lives including in the most
03:48
intimate ways no shaking hands the
03:51
governor ordered with great emphasis
03:53
thanks to Janet Mills decisions Maine
03:55
will never be the same
03:57
but these restrictions are all necessary
03:58
she explained thanks to the extreme and
04:01
unusual peril that the state of Maine
04:03
faces I want to be clear we are not out
04:08
of the woods yet and likely will not be
04:10
for some time not out of the woods yet
04:15
those are bracing words they sound like
04:17
something that Winston Churchill might
04:18
have said during the Blitz so what
04:21
exactly do these woods Janet Mills refer
04:23
to look like what the very
04:26
she spoke a grand total of 33 people
04:30
were being treated in Maine hospitals
04:32
for the coronavirus 33 people out of a
04:35
population of more than 1.3 million
04:37
people over the full course of this
04:40
entire epidemic just 51 people in the
04:42
state of Maine have died from the corona
04:44
virus meanwhile and there's always a
04:47
flipside directly because of the
04:50
lockdowns that Mills ordered more than
04:52
10 percent of Maine's population is now
04:54
unemployed all over the state businesses
04:57
are failing a forecast produced by
04:59
Oxford Economics predicts that Maine
05:01
will be hit harder and longer by these
05:03
lockdowns than any other state in the
05:05
country so is this a proportionate
05:08
response to the threat no it's not it's
05:11
vandalism Mills his speechwriter worked
05:14
hard to make her reckless policy sound
05:16
poetic people who now are staying apart
05:20
so that someday we can all be together
05:23
again someday
05:27
we can be together again well thanks
05:29
governor we appreciate your kindness and
05:31
allowing them so how long will that be
05:33
until we can be together again well
05:36
Mills who is clearly deeply enjoying her
05:38
newfound power didn't specify how long
05:40
there's quote no timeline for that
05:43
things will not be normal soon she
05:46
warned we were inventing a new normal
05:48
and quote now you may be wondering where
05:51
exactly does Janet Mills derive the
05:53
power to invent a quote new normal for
05:56
1.3 million people to remake human
05:59
society in whatever form she chooses
06:01
Mills did not explain that either
06:04
instead the governor read a selection
06:06
from a 31 year old novelist called
06:08
Veronica Roth Roth wrote that quote
06:10
gritting your teeth through pain is part
06:13
of the quote slow walk toward a better
06:15
life deep thoughts from Janet Mills a
06:18
slow walk toward a better life that's
06:21
what Mills is promising wait a second
06:23
was this all supposed to be about a
06:25
public health emergency the latest
06:27
epidemiology science yeah that was last
06:30
one it's now about quote a better life
06:33
people in power abuse their power that
06:37
may be the lesson here the arrival of a
06:39
terrifying new virus
06:40
China gave our leaders more power than
06:42
anyone has had in the history of this
06:44
country
06:45
six weeks ago America was something
06:47
resembling an imperfect democracy we had
06:49
an election on the horizon that we are
06:51
sort of paying attention to back then
06:53
Andrew Cuomo was considered a thuggish
06:55
possibly corrupt regional leader but
06:58
suddenly everything has changed now this
07:00
is an oligarchy managed by bureaucrats
07:02
and tech moguls none of whom are
07:04
accountable to voters our leaders are
07:06
making decisions that will affect your
07:08
family forever with virtually no
07:10
oversight or accountability and of
07:12
course they love it we shouldn't be
07:14
surprised they don't want it to end
07:16
Jeff Bezos for example has made billions
07:19
of dollars since the lockdown began how
07:22
shocked are you that his personal
07:23
newspaper The Washington Post is arguing
07:26
that the highest possible volume that
07:27
the lock downs must continue not very
07:30
shocked they all feel that way this is
07:33
the best thing that has ever happened to
07:35
them it's their chance let's say you
07:37
once tried to run the country but on two
07:39
separate occasions voters rejected you
07:41
they disliked you and they disliked your
07:44
program so much that they elected a
07:46
casino owner from reality television
07:48
instead what if that happened to you
07:50
you'd probably be pretty stung by it and
07:52
bitter and then one day you wake up and
07:55
the country is in chaos normal life has
07:57
been suspended this is the perfect
08:00
opportunity to impose your will on a
08:02
paralyzed nation you would seize that
08:04
opportunity and she has every form of
08:08
health care should continue to be
08:10
available including reproductive health
08:13
care then eventually and quickly I hope
08:16
gets us to universal health care this
08:19
would be a terrible crisis to waste as
08:21
the old saying goes more abortion
08:25
universal health care those are the
08:29
required responses to the Wu hen
08:31
coronavirus declares Hillary Clinton
08:32
yeah every politician on all sides has
08:36
an ideological wishlist usually it's
08:38
full with stranged unlikely ideas that
08:40
under normal circumstances are kept in
08:42
check by voters as a group
08:44
voters instinctively distrust ideology
08:47
and for good reason no one's keeping
08:49
those ideas in check now nobody cares
08:51
what voters think anymore
08:53
it's time to govern without limits watch
08:56
disgraced New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio
08:57
explained that as a matter of public
08:59
health or something we need more quote
09:02
inclusion and equity this city was
09:06
written off more times than I can count
09:07
this city came back stronger every time
09:09
now we're going to come back stronger
09:11
and fairer
09:11
immediate actions the city government
09:13
needs to take and build out as part of
09:15
the bigger vision is a City Task Force
09:18
on racial inclusion and equity focusing
09:23
on the disparities we're seeing already
09:24
making sure that we are addressing
09:26
structural racism that is obviously
09:29
present in the realities we're facing
09:32
with this disease so this pandemic is
09:36
really about structural racism that's
09:39
what Bill de Blasio was telling us bet
09:42
you didn't know that but you assumed it
09:44
was a virus remember how confused are
09:47
you doesn't matter because Bill de
09:49
Blasio doesn't care what you think
09:52
like all of our leaders from now on he
09:54
plans to do exactly what he wants
09:56
and he can
