00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.600
I don't know how many of you
caught this brewhaha from a week ago.

2
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:09.199
Two weeks ago, but we had
this whole thing with Governor Newsom doing this

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:19.519
massive cya over whether or not Panera
was exempted from this looming new California law.

4
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.600
This California law that's set to take
effect on April first, which I'm

5
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:30.280
sure is going to have this massively
inflationary effect on everything. It's to increase

6
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:39.600
hourly pay hourly minimum wage for all
fast food workers in California to twenty dollars

7
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:49.039
per hour, which is a lot
for fast food. It's likely going to

8
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.320
lead to a lot of fast food
workers being laid off replaced with automation.

9
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:59.200
And I already started to see this. I went to a McDonald's just about

10
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.719
just about a week and a half
ago. I was actually driving back and

11
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:10.000
forth to la and there's the Laval
Road exit. So when you're about to

12
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.640
you're going south on ninety nine,
you're about to cross the Grapevine, there's

13
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:17.840
the big Laval Road exit. I
went to the McDonald's there and very few

14
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:23.400
employees left. Basically all the orders
were just being taken by the computer screens.

15
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:30.120
So there's this huge looming twenty dollars
per hour minimum wage, and it's

16
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.599
a massive jump even for California,
and people are scrambling with sort of how

17
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.480
are they going to deal with this? Well, the news story came out

18
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:45.040
that it seemed there was this exception
in the law for restaurants that had a

19
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:52.840
bakery, which seemingly would apply to
restaurants like Panera and lo and behold,

20
00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:00.400
there's a gazillionaire buddy of Gavin Newsom's
who's a major Panera franchise owner, who

21
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:10.759
owns several Panera franchises, who did, in fact lobby with Gavin Newsom's staff

22
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.120
to be exempted from this. Now
he said, oh, it was a

23
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.840
part of a group of people.
I don't know how you get in a

24
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:23.080
group of people to meet personally with
Gavin newsom staff. I certainly have never

25
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:29.400
been able to meet with Gavin Newsom
staff. And then this led to Newsome

26
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:30.560
having to do the cya and try
to say, oh, no, no,

27
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.400
no, the law doesn't exempt Panera, and everyone's like, well,

28
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.080
yeah it does. It says right
there, if you have an oven,

29
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:43.159
why wouldn't it exempt Panera? And
there's this huge back and forth battle going

30
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:51.439
on about was Gavin Newsom just openly
nakedly carving out exemptions in this very onerous

31
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:58.919
this law that's going to be very
ownerous for business owners. Why was he

32
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.680
working so hard to get some kind
of exemption like that carved in? Was

33
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:07.400
it purely just this naked thing of
trying to help out his buddy who owns

34
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:16.000
a bunch of Panera franchises. Well, now we're in this ridiculous setup where

35
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:23.879
we see how the California legislature's really
working. This twenty dollars per hour fast

36
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.599
food thing is supposed to take effect
on April first. So here we are.

37
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:37.599
It's March nineteenth, and the California
Assembly today or yesterday rather had hearings

38
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:43.919
on all these bills to have a
bunch of a bunch more exemptions from this

39
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:49.039
twenty dollars per hour fast food thing. So we're going to have things about,

40
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.800
well, the twenty dollars per hour
thing was going to impact possibly like

41
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.479
hotel workers and stuff like that,
and so oh, we're going to get

42
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.159
exemptions for this group, and we're
going to get exemptions for that group.

43
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:02.680
We're gonna get exemptions for that group. Joe Patterson not Jim Patterson, Joe

44
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:09.120
Patterson, different legislator, different member
of the Assembly, whose last name is

45
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:14.680
Patterson, whose first initial is Jay, is a really good follow on Twitter.

46
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:20.600
Follow him at patter Dude, patt
er dude, and he's tweeting about

47
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:26.240
this. He said today the California
Legislature Assembly will consider more exemptions to the

48
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:32.680
fast food legislation. These exemptions are
determined solely by the governor, the majority

49
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:41.399
party, and SEIU s CiU is
the big labor union that is the most

50
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.360
powerful labor union in the Sacramento.
And this is one of the things to

51
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:50.959
remember is that California is a labor
union dominated state. Our legislature is dominated

52
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:56.879
by the labor unions. He keeps
writing, I wonder how you get exempted.

53
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.720
Maybe the policy was just bad to
begin with. Why pick the winners

54
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:11.879
in the users? And he's totally
right. This whole process is ridiculous.

55
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:21.480
Democrats are clearly trying to appeal to
labor with twenty dollars an hour as a

56
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.720
minimum wage for fast food workers,
which I just don't know that that is

57
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.279
a sustainable jump. I don't know
that that's a sustainable increase. But if

58
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.439
that's what you're gonna make it.
Why would you be giving exemptions for all

59
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:39.439
these other classes of people? You
know? And it's also let's understand how

60
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:46.319
wildly inflationary this is going to be
across the economy. If fast food workers

61
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.199
are going to make twenty dollars an
hour, how many people are going to

62
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:57.360
become how many other kinds of employers
are going to have to bump up their

63
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.120
pay in order to make it fit
on? Does it even matter if Panera

64
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:06.399
is actually included in this bill or
not? What Panera franchise is going to

65
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:13.360
be able to hire anybody if they
don't also pay twenty dollars per hour,

66
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:19.560
And it's going to be massively inflationary. It's going to be like, this

67
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:27.800
is the problem with minimum wage increases. I understand the positive place that a

68
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:32.560
desire for increasing the minimum wage comes
from. You want people who are working

69
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:38.720
to be able to have a livable
wage. If you just let the economy

70
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:44.839
be completely laissez faire, individual workers
have a more desperate need for money and

71
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:49.480
employment, then employers have a desperate
need for workers, especially unskilled workers like

72
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:57.480
fast food workers. So if you
try to say I think I'm worth more,

73
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.319
mister McDonald's, mister, Ronald McDonald, I think I'm worth more than

74
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.199
that. I think I should be
making more than fifteen dollars an hour.

75
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.720
I think I should make twenty dollars
an hour. Then Ronald McDonald can just

76
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.680
move on to the next guy and
give him fifteen dollars an hour, and

77
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:15.000
you're without a job because the next
guy is maybe more desperate, or the

78
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.399
next guy's a teenager's not trying to
get a full time job, and you,

79
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:24.279
who are trying to support yourself need
a full time job. You're out

80
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:29.800
on the street. So I understand
the motivation for wanting a minimum wage and

81
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.759
for wanting to have that minimum wage
be enough for someone to live on.

82
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:42.319
And I understand that part of this
desire to increase the minimum wage is to

83
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:46.040
keep up with inflation. But I
feel like that's this is even outpacing inflation.

84
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:55.240
And when you increase minimum wage,
there's no sort of sense of stopping

85
00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:00.480
to look at on the left,
what are the negative side of things that

86
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.800
come from increasing the minimum wage.
It's not like when you do something like

87
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:11.839
that there are no downstream consequences.
Food is going to cost more if you

88
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.879
have to pay all the workers making
it way more money. The food's going

89
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:20.680
to cost way more, you know. I know fast food's not super important,

90
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.160
but a lot of people do tend
to rely on it, especially for

91
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:30.839
travel and ease and things like that. If you're going to bump up the

92
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.120
minimum wage, the costs wind up
getting passed on to consumers. And the

93
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:41.519
other thing is it's a huge disincentive
to hiring. And I think that balance

94
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:48.600
is always a difficult thing for people
trying to attain something adjust order in our

95
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.759
economics have to struggle with, like, Okay, you jack up the minimum

96
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:58.399
wage. Businesses are going to try
to find ways via automation whatever to just

97
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.159
get away with hiring fewer people,
and then you'll have more people who are

98
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:07.399
actually unemployed. There's some stuff going
on right now with I think it's in

99
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:16.200
Minneapolis where Uber and Lyft are pulling
out of I believe Uber and Lyft are

100
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.039
pulling out of Minneapolis because Minneapolis is
so outraged that Uber and Lyft drivers are

101
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:30.840
independent contractors and not unionizing, not
employees who can unionize, and so Minnesota,

102
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.519
you know, Minneapolis sticks with their
guns. But at the same time,

103
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.360
now, well we're standing up for
the workers. Well, Now there

104
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.320
are all these people who would be
driving for Uber and Lyfts who can't drive

105
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:52.600
for them now in Minneapolis, So
are you really helping them necessarily anyway?

106
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.399
In short, I think this is
the thing that stinks with all of this,

107
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.639
as Patterson is Joe Patterson's point out
the people who are going to get

108
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.080
exempted from and by that, I'm
not saying these are necessarily easy questions to

109
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.279
decide. I mean, I don't. I have no great love for Uber

110
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.639
and Lyft, for a lot of
these mega corporations, we're making tons and

111
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.639
tons of money. You know,
they do it on the backs of people

112
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.720
being independent contractors. I feel like, if you know people should be paid

113
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:30.159
just wages, is you know,
is allowing them to be independent contractors more

114
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.279
just than not? You know,
you may your mileage may vary there.

115
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.200
But what's happening here in California with
these exemptions to the twenty dollars per hour

116
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:46.639
thing is that it's just being controlled
by the labor unions. The Democrat majority

117
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.080
sits down with the labor unions and
with these industries. We're all pushing for

118
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.440
them not to be beholden too a
twenty dollars per hour rule, and they

119
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.559
kind of asked the unil okay,
Well, what can we get away with

120
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:03.399
here? What would you guys be
okay with? And that's who decides,

121
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.799
that's how it's decided. It's it
has nothing to do what we are playing

122
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:20.120
a very loose charade at some form
of democratic rule here in California. All

123
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.080
of these questions about the twenty dollars
per hour minimum wage and who gets exempted

124
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:33.919
are being decided by the leadership of
the Democrats in the legislature, Gavin Newsom

125
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.960
and folks from SEIU labor union.
It's about, you know, four or

126
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:45.600
five people in a room are going
to decide who has to pay twenty dollars

127
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:52.440
per hour for their employees and who
doesn't. And that's kind of how so

128
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:58.960
much of California law is made.
And it's often by those same people.

129
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:07.159
It's the governor, legislative leadership,
and the labor unions. They kind of

130
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.559
decide what they want gets past and
they don't have to listen to anybody.

131
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:13.840
They don't. You know, a
whole bunch of people don't like the gas

132
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:20.519
tax. It doesn't matter a whole
bunch of people. I recently heard people

133
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.120
saying that we should try to do
another impeachment of Gavin Newsom. Are you

134
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:30.480
freaking crazy after how the last one
went? Give me a break? Nobody

135
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:37.759
look this and this is part of
the California Republican delusion. I swear there's

136
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:43.799
certain there's a certain brand of Republican
who genuinely thinks that, like, how

137
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.360
are we going to fix California?
As if someone can like wave a magic

138
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.919
wand and snap their fingers and have
one campaign that fixes California. No,

139
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.879
California is so unbelievably screwed up.
And it's because people vote for him.

140
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.759
It's because anytime a Democrat runs for
a state wide office, they get almost

141
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.960
two thirds of the vote they get, they win sixty to forty. Every

142
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:11.320
single time. Gavin Newso wins sixty
to forty. All these people and that's

143
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:24.759
the proportions. Tons of Californians keep
voting for worse and worse outcomes. It's

144
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.639
just it, and they're going to
keep doing it. That they insist on

145
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.200
continuing to do it because the Republican
brand is so unbelievably toxic. Because Democrats

146
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:41.919
have controlled their public schools now for
forty years, and there's nothing it's not

147
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.240
gonna change. It's not gonna change, not anytime soon. It's not gonna

148
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.039
change in one election cycle. It
might not change in six election cycles.

149
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:54.519
When we return. I want to
just kind of explain this reality again.

150
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.519
How thoroughly labor unions run the state
legislature. That's next on The John Girardi

151
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:09.200
Show. Gather around, children,
It's time for y' all to understand how

152
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:18.200
the government works, or at least
state government works in California. State government

153
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:26.720
in California is run by the labor
unions. A lot of people tend to

154
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:35.360
think that California politics is run by
dope smoking hippies or radical San Francisco you

155
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:37.480
know, AOC types or things like
that. No, no, no,

156
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:39.759
no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not what

157
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:46.840
it is. You'll notice AOC is
not from California, and her her arch

158
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:54.159
nemesis within the Democrat Caucus, Nancy
Pelosi, is from San Francisco. The

159
00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:03.960
main players in quote the squad are
not really California people. California Democrat politics

160
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:11.600
is governed by organized labor. The
politics of California is the politics of organized

161
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:22.039
labor. Their priorities rule the day
in Sacramento. How So, how thoroughly.

162
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.039
Does Organize the Labor run it?
Well, anecdotally, almost every single

163
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:31.600
time I have gone to Sacramento and
I go to the state Capitol, you

164
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:39.279
see the purple SEIU shirts every single
time. But that's anecdotal. Well,

165
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.120
they're there, Okay, does that
mean they rule the roost? I don't

166
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:48.879
know. I could go there every
week if I wanted to, I could

167
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.279
go there and I could wear a
bright blue Right to Life Essential California T

168
00:15:52.399 --> 00:16:02.879
shirt. It's not just that they're
there, it's they're the single bigg In

169
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.559
the aggregate. Organized Labor is the
biggest contributor to Gavin Newsom's campaign. In

170
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.639
the aggregate, organized Labor gives more
to other campaigns than almost any other source.

171
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:17.320
When you also look at the kinds
of people in the legislature. This

172
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:22.600
is the really crazy thing. What
Organized Labor has done is that they own

173
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:33.720
the state legislature so thoroughly that instead
of you know, doing the normal thing

174
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:40.559
of you just give a bunch of
campaign contributions to someone and then you expect

175
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:44.720
they'll do what you want them to
do by voting for your policies that you

176
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:51.159
like. Instead, what they do
is they just run labor union officials.

177
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:55.039
For those seats in the Assembly and
the state Senate. There are a bunch

178
00:16:55.080 --> 00:17:02.799
of legislators whose career before entering the
legislature was labor union official, whose career

179
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:10.359
after leaving the legislature is labor union
official. Lorena Gonzalez, Lorena Gonzalez was

180
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.640
one of the most powerful members of
the California State Assembly. She was the

181
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:18.039
chair of the Appropriations Committee, which
basically means if it's a bill that's gonna

182
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:22.319
spend money, she had to okay
it. She was an Assembly member from

183
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:29.079
San Diego. She was a labor
union official before she got into the Assembly.

184
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.200
She was a labor union official after
she term limited out of the Assembly.

185
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:38.839
That was her thing. The labor
union doesn't even need to pay her.

186
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.079
She is them. She is the
entity that would have done the paying.

187
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:55.279
They know whence they came, and
they know whither they are going from

188
00:17:55.640 --> 00:18:07.359
organized labor back into its loving bosom, like that's that's what's happening. So

189
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:15.839
they own the legislature AB five,
which got passed a couple of years ago,

190
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.839
which was Loraina Gonzalez, by the
way, who introduced that. Loraina

191
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:26.119
Gonzales, former labor union official,
most one of the most powerful members of

192
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.839
the Assembly went on to become a
labor union official. What did AB five

193
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:37.440
do. It changed the rules in
California for who could be a contractor versus

194
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:42.680
a part time employee, making all
these people who would have been contractors into

195
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:51.680
employees. Why because employees con unionize
and independent contractors can't. That's what AB

196
00:18:51.839 --> 00:19:00.240
five was about. It was about
increasing the power of the unions. When

197
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.079
do schools open in California after COVID? It opened whenever the teachers' unions decided

198
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:08.920
they would be open. Was Gavin
Newsom going to have one single standard for

199
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:14.519
the whole state, him negotiating against
all the teachers unions as a whole to

200
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.920
mandate a single standard for reopening for
across the state. Nope. No,

201
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:23.039
He let every single individual school district
duke it out between the school between the

202
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:30.079
school's board of trustees, the school
district's board of trustees, and the individual

203
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:37.920
labor union in that school district,
which gave the union's maximum power. And

204
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.839
why would Newsom do that? Because
the labor unions give him the most money.

205
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.960
He's the servant of his political masters, as are all these democrats,

206
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:53.839
as are all politicians in a lot
of ways. So that's how California politics

207
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:57.880
works. That's why all these exemptions
that were now scrambling to give to this

208
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:03.920
twenty dollars per hour minimum wage for
fast food workers rule, it's only going

209
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:11.440
to be granted as SEIU deems fit, as the labor unions deem it fit.

210
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.200
If they allow it, then it'll
happen. But the decision is going

211
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.839
to be made again, It's gonna
be made in a room by about seven

212
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:25.319
people, Okay, Gavin Newsom,
the leadership from the Assembly in the state

213
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:30.960
Senate, and leadership from SEIU and
organized labor. That's who's going to decide.

214
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.359
And it's going to have massive consequences
for a whole bunch of different industries,

215
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:40.720
massive consequences for a whole bunch of
people, maybe getting laid off,

216
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:45.480
maybe not getting laid off. Inflationary
effects on the California economy, increase costs,

217
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.039
going to continue to make the cost
of living difficult for lower income people

218
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.039
in California. It's going to continue
to hollow out the middle class in California.

219
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:57.160
Like we're just going to keep going. We're gonna keep going down the

220
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:03.920
same disastrous road we've been on in
California for decades because people keep voting for

221
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:10.799
Democrats and this is how they govern
with these results. When we return a

222
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:18.519
blast from the past talking about COVID, is long COVID actually real or are

223
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:25.519
people just insane? We'll be back
on the John Girardi Show. So one

224
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:32.799
of the things I've noticed is that
certain lefties who still want to agitate about

225
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:37.640
COVID. And by the way,
it's only huge lefties and you may have

226
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:45.079
it's very interesting to see the kinds
of people still wearing masks in public.

227
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:52.599
I don't know what it is.
I feel like it's certainly when we went

228
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.920
to I was in Los Angeles for
a bit over the weekend, and there's

229
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.160
certain groups of places that seem to
have more liberal tilt where you'd still see

230
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:06.200
people wearing COVID masks, people walking
outside wearing COVID masks, which I think

231
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:11.160
it would I thought was ridiculous when
COVID was raging and thousands of people were

232
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:18.720
dying. That was that was completely
insane even then. But one of the

233
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.839
things I saw it recently in the
Fresno Bee and other released and things,

234
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:27.960
these articles about long COVID. So
it's this idea that certain people who got

235
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:41.160
COVID have experienced long term enduring symptoms, long term enduring effects from their original

236
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.640
COVID infection, which for most people
was, you know, three years ago.

237
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:53.680
I know I got COVID at least
once. Did I get it twice?

238
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.680
I might have gotten it twice.
And one of the times when I

239
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:06.319
got it, I genuinely the stuff
tasted weird. All kinds of stuff tasted

240
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:11.079
weird. Coffee tasted weird, Onions
are smelled weird, smelled weird. Rather

241
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:18.480
coffee smelled weird, and and I
kind of lost lost certain senses with smell,

242
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:21.720
and my sense of smell and taste. I kind of screwed up for

243
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:23.960
a little bit, and for a
decent amount of time, like probably about

244
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:29.279
five or six months, my sense
of smell was off, like coffee smelled

245
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:36.920
weird, onions and peppers smelled bad
or weird. I think a lot of

246
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:40.240
it had to do with stuff that
was like I think garlic might have smelled

247
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.119
weird too. A lot of stuff
in kind of that family of vegetables sort

248
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:52.200
of smelled weird. But I can't
say it was the sickest I've ever been.

249
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.039
I mean it was not fun.
I had a fever for about a

250
00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:02.440
solid I don't know, thirty six
hours, but I was fine. And

251
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:08.880
looking at the data, if you
were under the age of I don't know,

252
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:15.119
forty and in decent health, your
odds of getting very sick from COVID

253
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:21.680
were extremely slight. The actual only
real risk from COVID was with older people,

254
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:29.400
or people with other co morbidities,
or people who were morbidly obese or

255
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:32.839
things like that. Those were the
people who were actually really at risk from

256
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:36.680
COVID and that we needed probably to
just focus our attention on, Like if

257
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:40.759
we were going to have a nationwide
vaccination campaign, you know, if you

258
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:45.039
think that is wise, what it
should have focused on If anyone was the

259
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.960
elderly, the people most likely to
actually die from COVID. There was no

260
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:53.160
need for children to be getting vaccinated, especially after we learned, which we

261
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:59.960
learned fairly quickly, that COVID vaccination
does not actually prevent you from getting cod

262
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:04.759
nor even we realized, did it
really prevent you from spreading COVID. So

263
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:11.160
once we learned that, the whole
theory for universal vaxxation completely collapsed and we

264
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.960
should have just shifted. But if
anything. Liberals just found it to be

265
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:22.039
some sort of like signifier of orthodoxy
or of being a good liberal person to

266
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.960
have gotten vaccinated, and so it
began this insane insistence upon it to the

267
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:34.319
point where, like there were surveys
of Democrat voters where like thirty percent of

268
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:37.480
them, I'm not making this up. I just read this this morning,

269
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:42.319
Like thirty percent of Democratic voters back
when COVID was raging, when this issue

270
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:48.440
was raging, thought that parents should
be should have their children taken away from

271
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:52.960
them if their children were not vaccinated. Like a huge percentage of Democrats were

272
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:57.160
willing to like say that people who
didn't get vaccinated should not be allowed to

273
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:02.839
leave their houses or should be to
go to camps. I'm not making this

274
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:07.480
up that these were like actual polls
done of Democrat voters where these huge percentages,

275
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:11.079
even if they were minorities of Democrat
voters, still it was these huge

276
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.920
percentages of Democrat voters believed these monstrous
things should be done for someone for the

277
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:21.440
temerity of not getting a vaccine.
Anyway. One of the things, though,

278
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:30.799
that keeps coming back is long COVID, and it keeps coming back as

279
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:36.079
a concern among liberal writers. Even
today, when we're in twenty twenty four,

280
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:45.000
we're years out from COVID being an
issue. And this is a This

281
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:49.200
is a piece that was in the
Fresno b about just about almost two weeks

282
00:26:49.200 --> 00:27:00.000
ago, talking about this long COVID
forgotten in new recommendations. The vast majority

283
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:04.759
of all long COVID will come from
just mild cases of COVID. Long COVID,

284
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:08.240
defined by the CDC as a COVID
nineteen infection that lasts longer than one

285
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:15.319
month, can cause patients to have
debilitating symptoms for years, even if they

286
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:21.519
only had a mild infection initially.
Because vaccines and boosters can't prevent all infections,

287
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:26.000
instead working to prevent severe infections,
it allows those with mild infections to

288
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:29.240
continue to spread the virus to others
and could increase the number of those suffering

289
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:33.759
from long COVID in the future.
And liberals keep bringing up this topic,

290
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:40.640
and I keep thinking, I don't
know a single person in my life who

291
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:45.160
has long COVID, and literally the
only people I ever hear talking about this

292
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:53.039
subject of alleged long COVID are liberals. So what's going on here? Do

293
00:27:53.200 --> 00:28:00.240
only liberals get long COVID. I'm
not a doctor. I have a doctorate

294
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.799
in law, not a medical doctor. Now, I'm the kind of doctor

295
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:10.519
who's not very useful on an airplane
when someone has a medical event. So

296
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:14.160
I am not a doctor. I'm
not an epidemiologist. But I'm pretty sure

297
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:22.039
that viruses do not actually care if
you are registered as a Democrat or a

298
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.279
Republican. You kind of just get
it. Regardless of that, it's not

299
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:34.839
really a factor for them. And
I was thinking about this, I'm like,

300
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.920
I wonder if there's a thing I
could read about long COVID. Is

301
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:42.640
it actually a thing? Well?
Behold the piece in National Review, written

302
00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:48.319
by Noah Rothman. A growing body
of research suggests that the affliction of long

303
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:56.799
COVID may of long COVID may be
psychological. So he begins by talking about

304
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.240
Ayana Presley, who was a member
of the House of Representatives, and Ianna

305
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:07.680
Presley is I think she's one of
the lesser known members of the squad.

306
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:14.079
I know at any she's very,
very liberal. I know that, And

307
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:18.720
she posted this thing on Twitter saying
long COVID is a growing crisis for our

308
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:23.880
communities and we can't leave our long
haulers behind. On long COVID Awareness Day,

309
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:29.240
I'm calling on Congress to take action
to treat long COVID and provide our

310
00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:32.480
long haulers the support and care they
deserve. That was on March fifteenth.

311
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:37.160
She tweets that Rothman writes the congresswoman's
post seems to suggest that the afflicted for

312
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:42.759
whom she speaks are a forgotten constituency
in America. Anyone operating under that impression

313
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:47.200
has gone to great lengths to ignore
the research into this disorder or the journalism

314
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:51.839
focused on those who report experiencing its
symptoms. So the first thing he points

315
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:56.000
out is there is no way to
test for quote long COVID, and the

316
00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:03.079
manifestations of the affliction are so broad
and varied that they also pertain to any

317
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.640
number of underlying ailments that alone is
not dispositive. It's not uncommon for autoimmune

318
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.160
disorders, for example, to present
in ways that confound researchers, and yet

319
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:19.240
supposedly data driven analyzes of this particular
disorder still managed to produce authoritatively determinative conclusions

320
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:26.559
about its causes and effects. One
study indicated that precisely five point eight million

321
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:32.279
children suffer from the long term effects
of a COVID infection. Another indicated that

322
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:37.680
the afflicted suffer severe muscle damage arising
from microclots that all but preclude the prospect

323
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:48.720
of engaging in any strenuous activity like
exercise. Hm. Hm. The malady

324
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.039
is said to have worse effects on
the quality of life experienced by its sufferers

325
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.720
than many cancers. Wow, that's
the wrong week for me to read that

326
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:02.079
little comment. Those who struggle with
long covid' brain fog, it is claimed,

327
00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:07.160
experience the level of mental impairment equivalent
to the loss of roughly six IQ

328
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:08.440
points. Well, maybe you got
to be pretty stupid to believe you that

329
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:14.440
you're suffering from long COVID. And
the number of sufferers is on the rise.

330
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.759
A Center for Disease Control and Prevention
study found that six point eight percent

331
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:26.759
of respondents roughly seventeen point six million
people are self reported long haulers or people

332
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:32.160
who have long COVID, an increase
of one point five percent from the CDC's

333
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:37.319
October survey. The problem is that
for however many million of us, we

334
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:40.839
can't just move on, said one
Nashville based attorney. As Joe Biden prepared

335
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:45.240
to lift the states of emergency implemented
in response to the pandemic. At some

336
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.319
point the doctors that are researching it
may just give up. Where does that

337
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:52.200
leave all of us? Researchers did
not give up. While that should leave

338
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:57.240
this malady sufferers hopeful, they're unlikely
to welcome the conclusion some medical professional professionals

339
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:01.920
are reaching. For instance, one
study of over five thousand adults conducted by

340
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:08.960
researchers with Queensland Australia's Public Health Service
recommended abandoning terms like long COVID altogether because

341
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:14.440
they erroneously lead people to wrongly conclude
that they have reason to fear the specific

342
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:19.880
complications arising from a COVID infection.
I want to make it clear that the

343
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:22.640
symptoms that some patient, sorry this
was from someone from Queensland, Australia,

344
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:27.759
so let me read it appropriately.
I want to make it clear that the

345
00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:34.240
symptoms that some patients described after having
COVID nineteen a rail criche, said Queensland's

346
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:39.000
Chief Health Officer, doctor John Gerard
hey Paison in a press conference last week.

347
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:43.759
What way of syon is that the
incidents of these symptoms is now great

348
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:47.400
in COVID nineteen than it is with
other respiratory viruses and that they use this

349
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:57.559
term long COVID is mislighting and I
believe harmful after riding on a kangaroo and

350
00:32:57.720 --> 00:33:01.440
skewing a crocodile the dat Gerard and
his team are preparing to present it next

351
00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:06.559
month's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and
Infectious Disease in Barcelona. Found at the

352
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:10.559
rates of ongoing symptoms and functional impairment
are indistinguishable from other post viral illnesses.

353
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:16.519
So basically, here's what's happening.
Long COVID is not really a thing.

354
00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:22.880
Some people have symptoms, They're all
over the map as far as what the

355
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:30.480
symptoms are. Different people claim different
things, but there's no real evidence that

356
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:38.559
it's necessarily connected to their COVID infection. The profile, by the way,

357
00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:45.599
of people who allegedly suffer from long
COVID is a source of skepticism. Few

358
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:52.400
patients who do get treated are overwhelmingly
white and affluent, enough to be able

359
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:55.640
to take time off work to go
to multiple appointments, and spend time online

360
00:33:55.680 --> 00:34:01.079
finding care and support groups. Political
Politico wrote the vast majority are seventy eight

361
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:07.880
point five percent of the deaths attributed
to long COVID were among white Americans.

362
00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:13.320
Self reported sufferers are far more likely
to be women than men, and they

363
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:17.960
are more than twice as likely to
be middle aged than elderly. Around the

364
00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:22.960
same time, the journal Jama Psychology
published research indicating there was a high correlation

365
00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:30.599
between suffering long COVID symptoms and struggling
with quote pre existing psychological distress, even

366
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:37.280
controlling for false negatives and the possibility
of fading antibody responses. Research in med

367
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:43.480
rxiv found that many long COVID sufferers
quote never had COVID nineteen to begin with.

368
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:52.960
So there you go, long COVID
complete Belgney. It's liberals giving excuses

369
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:59.360
for not wanting to go to work. When we return. Donald Trump's secret

370
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:04.280
to winning all fifty states in the
November twenty twenty four election will be revealed

371
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:08.960
right after this. This is the
John Girardi Show on Power Talk. All

372
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:16.039
right, folks, how does Donald
Trump win all fifty states? How does

373
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:23.519
he bring about the greatest Republican landslide
ever? Well, Trump gave a hint

374
00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:31.440
at this in a recent interview.
He hinted that he might deport Prince Harry

375
00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:37.239
if he's elected. And this is
the kind of thing that I love about

376
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:42.679
Trump is that he can't just like
like say, he can't just like no

377
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:49.000
comment on something. But he talks
about, now, we'll have to see

378
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:54.800
if they know something, and so
like Prince Harry talked about taking illegal drugs

379
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:59.639
in his memoir, which actually might
be an immigration issue, and Trump says,

380
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:00.840
no, we'll have to see if
they know. We'll have to see

381
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:04.320
if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied, they'll have

382
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:07.280
to take appropriate action. Trump is
quoted as saying in a preview of the

383
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:13.280
interview, So here's Trump. Trump
didn't provide a clear answer about what appropriate

384
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:15.280
action would me. Oh, I
don't know. You'll have to tell me.

385
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:17.199
You just have to tell me.
You would have thought they would have

386
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:21.480
known this a long time ago,
the former president said. So, yeah,

387
00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:24.480
here's Prince Harry talking about how he
took all these different illicit drugs.

388
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:28.920
And Trump's like, yeah, well
may yeah, maybe we will deport him.

389
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:32.119
I don't know. This is this
is uh, this is the genius

390
00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:37.480
of Trump. It's both the genius
and the madness of Trump is that he

391
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:49.400
can't just not comment so many things
where he like he's getting destroyed right now,

392
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:53.239
all these lawsuits that he's going through, like this defamation lawsuit he's facing

393
00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:58.800
from Egen Carroll, the woman who
accused him of sexually assaulting her, which,

394
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:05.639
by the further I get, the
more I find her claims very difficult

395
00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:10.360
to sustain. She has such a
scarcity of evidence, and there's a lot

396
00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:17.039
of evidence that indicates she had this
continuing interest in Donald Trump. That just

397
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:22.519
did not to me seem to make
sense with someone who had been allegedly raped

398
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:25.679
by Donald Trump, that like she
was a big fan of The Apprentice.

399
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:31.239
I don't know, can't I again, I guess it's hard to judge a

400
00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:36.079
situation that I've never been in like
that, but I don't see how that

401
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:39.880
would make sense. Anyway. Trump's
been getting slammed on this Egene Carroll thing

402
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:45.079
because he keeps talking about her lawsuit, and then she keeps filing adding more

403
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:50.519
claims to her defamation claims, and
the judge keeps putting on bigger and bigger

404
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:54.320
finds against Trump for defaming her,
and he keeps talking about her. He

405
00:37:54.360 --> 00:38:00.320
can't just shut up, and it's
costing him now tens of millions of dollars.

406
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.840
But anyway, good for Donald Trump. Hinting that he wants to deport

407
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:07.039
Prince Harry. That'll be the way
to get all fifty states to vote for

408
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:09.880
Donald Trump, because pretty much everyone's
sick of Prince Harry. That'll do it

409
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:13.159
for John Grady Show. Seey'all next
time on Power Talk
