It's going on team Buck America's the greatest country in the world. Thanks for being here. The great disappointment continues. I'm not buck. But buck will be back tomorrow. I will assure you. I'll be back tomorrow. Thanks for sticking around these last couple of days. One of the most pivotal things I've ever heard. It's I think about it every day for maybe the last two years since I first heard it. It's from the great Thomas Sol. He said there's no such thing as solutions only trade offs.

Conservatives understand this. Progressives do not progressives look for their utopian visions and they seek to achieve them. Conservatives understand that in life, there are no such thing as solutions. There are only trade offs.

It's true with everything. Do I buy list? Do I not buy this? Do I go here or not go there? Invest in this. Don't invest in that. Well, there's no such thing as solutions. Only a trade off.

Life's full of nonstop all day. Life's also full of risks. And we calculate those risks all the time. Driving a car is very risky. But you got to get to work. So you calculate it. Is it worth it? Yeah, it's worth the risk. Getting an accident. Got to get to work.

We are doing a poor job of risk calculation with COVID on this March 30, 2021, right? Like it's March 30, 2020.

We're calculating risk as if millions of people haven't already taken one of these soon to be five vaccines that we have in America, which is amazing because for a while, we weren't sure if there'd ever be a vaccine.

And we're not taking into fact into account that millions more now natural immunity because they got COVID recovered. We're not properly calculating risk analysis. And this is what's leading to the vaccine passport that's being thrown around.

And that is a very, very bad idea. When you drive a car, there's a certain risk you're going to get an accident and die. Imagine if I told you, hey, Charlie, I have impending doom of your driving today. Don't do it. I'm scared you'll die. You have so much promise, so much potential in life. Don't do it. Don't drive today.

That emotional plea would screw up your calculation, your risk calculation and lead you to make a not proper analysis and a not good decision. We're still doing that with COVID very specifically. This is the head of the CDC head of the CDC, she's getting all emotional when she's saying that she says I'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom.

We have so much to look forward to so much promise and potential of where we are and so much reason for hope. But right now I'm scared.

Lady, this is not helpful. That is feelings over facts.

How is this helpful to the American people to have this woman of science say I'm going to go off script and I'm going to reflect on the feelings I have of impending doom. Why are you unloading your feelings?

I'm not interested in feelings. I'm interested in facts. What are the facts? Now you don't have to sugarcoat things to me. I'm an adult. Give me the reality of the situation. But you also don't have to start to cry and try to emotionally manipulate me.

But she got her headlines. She got our attention. And for what?

Oh, to usher in the fear that's necessary to keep you masked, keep you controlled, keep you shut down, keep you locked down, keep you scared.

Until we can get the vaccine passport and that will save the day. The government once again coming into save the day, rescue us on their white horse. That is a super dystopian vaccine passport.
