0:00.0 | I'm in Boston. I flew here yesterday on my first flight since that hero judge struck down the CDC's |
0:08.4 | mask mandate. And 99% of the people in the airport loved it. We were happy as a clam. I would say, |
0:18.0 | I'm just estimating here, 99% of the people in the airport were not wearing masks. On my flight, |
0:25.5 | even a flight to a liberal city, I would say 95% of the people were not wearing masks. They were so, |
0:33.2 | so happy. And the lifting of the mask mandate, the fact that it's now voluntary, allows you to |
0:40.4 | tell with 100% certainty exactly who the lives are on your flight. And they're actually |
0:45.7 | are not a whole lot of them. Everyone was very, very happy except for Dr. Fauci. |
0:52.9 | I was both surprised and disappointed because those types of things really are the preview of |
0:57.7 | the CDC. This is a public health issue. And for a court to come in, and if you look at the ration |
1:04.8 | health of that, it really is not particularly firm. And we are concerned about that, about courts |
1:10.6 | getting involved in things that are unequivocally public health decisions. I mean, this is a CDC |
1:16.2 | issue, which should not have been a court issue. So we're hoping that the inevitable increase in |
1:21.9 | cases which we're seeing are not going to be associated with an increase in hospitalizations. |
1:27.4 | So all of these dynamic things going on at the same time, it was perfectly logical |
1:32.7 | for the CDC to say, wait a minute, we were planning on ending this mandate on a certain date. |
1:39.9 | Let's wait a period of time until May 3rd, which was a very sound public health decision. |
1:46.3 | I hope you've gotten this by now, but if you haven't, this isn't about the masks. |
1:53.7 | This isn't about whether or not you should wear the stupid masks. Dr. Fauci himself has been |
2:00.4 | the most pro-mask and anti-mask politician in the country. It's not about the masks. This is about |
2:08.5 | who governs us. Dr. Fauci believes that we should be governed by the whims and |
2:13.9 | caprices of totally unaccountable bureaucrats at the CDC. Normal people believe that we should have |
2:20.9 | some say in our government if we're not going to be ruled by the legislature at the very least we |
