But let's face reality of where we are.

In Texas we have 29 million people.

We've lost 495 at every life is valuable, but 500 people out of 29 million and we're

locked down and we're crushing the average worker, we're crushing small business, we're

crushing the markets, we're crushing this country.

And what I said when I was with you that night there are more important things than living.

And that's saving this country for my children and my grandchildren and saving this country

for all of us.

And I don't want to die, nobody wants to die.

But we've got to take some risk and get back in the game and get this country back up

and running.

It's the lieutenant governor of Texas talking about what we've been talking about a lot.

And that's an interesting balance.

It's also interesting to me that it's got a partisan breakdown to it that you have blue

governors with sort of the attitude of, we can't come back.

Somebody can still get sick or die.

And then you have red governor saying, yes, people will die, but we can't crush our economy

over it.

And in my opinion, those blue governors you refer to are making a false argument that

it's all or nothing.

As if to get the economy reengaged to any extent is just throwing it open and then the

hordes will die.
