| 0:00.0 | Let's talk lockdowns. Let's go back to this and let's talk costs of lockdowns. Let's look at |
| 0:05.2 | some of these statistics and you know the lockdowns, it's important that we really make sure that |
| 0:12.2 | these lockdowns don't do more damage and I'm about to present some stuff that shows that |
| 0:17.6 | that might be the case. But let's let's look way back way back to a Trump during the debate |
| 0:22.4 | with Biden and this is what he had to say in the lockdowns. Okay. We have to open our country. |
| 0:27.4 | We're not going to have a country. You can't do this. We can't keep this country close. |
| 0:31.8 | This is a massive country with a massive economy. People are losing their jobs, their committing |
| 0:38.2 | suicide. There's depression, alcohol, drugs at a level that nobody's ever seen before. |
| 0:44.0 | There's abuse, tremendous abuse. We have to open our country. You know, I've said it often. |

| 1:39.0 | They're still at a 99.5% success rate. Their immune systems are going to beat COVID-19. |
| 1:44.8 | And then 70 plus is where you really start seeing the numbers shift. And of course, 70 plus, |
| 1:50.0 | it really has to do with whether you have other comorbidities, heart disease, COPD, diabetes, |
| 1:55.6 | all of these things that are contributing to the issue. And they say that that very high risk group |
| 1:59.7 | doesn't just have one comorbidity. They have on average two and a half other life-threatening illnesses. |
