Merry Christmas, Everyone! Do Not Live in Fear

BUCK: Merry Christmas to all of you. I want to say that because we’ll say it a few times. Some of you will be listening now, some listening later in the show, but, you know, there’s a lot of stuff out there right now, obviously Omicron and libs going crazy and everything else.

And look. Omicron is serious, and people should take their steps — and when I say Omicron, I mean, covid in general serious, take your steps, you know, but live your life, you know, do what you can. We’re all on borrowed time. It is remarkable to see how many people I think have been convinced through mass media and government propaganda that if you just listen to the people in charge you’ll be happy and live forever. Neither of those things are true.

So live your life and spend time with loved ones this holiday season. I think for so many people who have objections to Fauciism and what we see sweeping across the country again as a mass hysteria, aside from a very transmissible virus that is dangerous to the elderly and people should take that part very seriously, but there are folks who are saying look. I don’t have that much time, and I want to be with loved ones, and I want to have those memories, and I want to be present. And I’m not going to live in fear.

You know, I’ve said to you, to borrow that line from Solzhenitsyn, “live not by lies,” but also “live not in fear.” Why? It’s so short. You know, I’m gonna be 40 on December 28th, which I know for a lot of you puts me maybe a couple years below you in the age bracket, but some of you I’m a lot older than.

And you know, I remember what it was like getting my initial training at the CIA to go overseas in the war zones in my early twenties. And I remember it well. It feels like it wasn’t long ago. Now we’re doing all kinds of stuff. Small arms training, driving, ID recognition and, you know, now here I am doing a radio show. So, yeah. It’s amazing how all the time flies.

Oh. I did see a couple things I thought were interesting just in the holiday story bucket. One of them is always the “how do you talk to relatives?” This is what all conservatives — maybe I’ll get into that a little more in the next hour ’cause something else had popped up on the screen a moment ago here was getting rid of alcohol on flights. I would just say I don’t think that all of a sudden alcohol on flights has become a big problem. I think that what people need to understand is masking up people for long periods of time is a highly aggravating, agitating experience. And for those of us who know that it is epidemiologically pointless and authoritarian, it’s even more annoying, and people have short fuses, you know.

Now, by no means am I justifying, obviously, any kind of violence or assaulting anybody because of these mandates, but I’m just saying if you’re looking at a policy that would — because of a huge surge in assaults on these planes, it’s not just ’cause people are boozing. It’s because people are sitting there constraining their breathing. Some of you probably are, you know, into yoga, into just general holistic health. And breathing is critical. I mean, producer Ali here is very health conscious and understands these things very well. Breathing is critical for your overall sense of well-being, for your immunity, for your sleep cycles, your anxiety levels.

I mean, if you ever go into a doctor’s office — this is just true ’cause I’ve had this experience — and you just — you know, you just had some coffee or having a stressful day, probably have elevated blood pressure and they might say to you your breathing is a little shallow. It’s ’cause you’re tense. It’s ’cause you’re tense.

It’s not possible — they’re now talking, forget about — and just so you know, I wear this — I got them these masks that are like mesh, basically, I mean, they’re very light. Rarely is it ever a problem, but at least I can kind of breathe in them. What they want you to put on a KN95. You cannot breathe well in these things. It is a true constriction of your most basic function for homeostasis, for being able to have your body operate the way it’s supposed to. And they want to tell you that this somehow is acceptable, this is normal? No.

I think that people are becoming so agitated and even violent on planes because they’re being forced to do something that is oppressive, uncomfortable, and stupid. And I will say airline attendants — and I have friends who are airline attendants. You know, I know there’s some great ones listening to us right now. They have been among the worst when it comes to enforcers of mask mandates of anyone I’ve come across.

Think about the thought process here. A lot of people living in states where there no mask mandates, you’re going to restaurants, doing everything you’re doing, but for the less than 1% of the time in your life that you’re actually on a plane or in an airport they’re insist that you mask up. You’re around people all the time who could have covid, the flu, a cold, whatever, and the rest of your life. But for a lot of you if you live in Texas, you live in Tennessee, you live in Florida, you go to that airport, “oh, this is what we have to do.”

Remember what they found out in New York City about restaurants? They had all this stuff, oh, restaurants, they get so scared. Covid spread primarily still happens in the home, folks. So with the whole restaurant thing what they found out was that it was — and this is their number. This is not me, you know, undermining their data. I’m using their data.

The city of New York found that it was about a 1% covid spread they thought maybe in restaurants was occurring. Oh, okay. So shut down the whole restaurant industry and keep people from seeing each other and living normal lives because you think — remember, eliminating 1% of the spread just means that you’re probably pushing that 1% to other places where you’re not doing these things involving shutdowns.
