americans are emerging from the lockdown
they're ready to travel
celebrate live out loud again live love
laugh
but have we forgotten how to act when
we're out of the house
as you know there's been a rash of
violent outbursts at airports
at sporting events on city streets and
some of us could probably use a shower
and some new clothes
with all that in mind a new article in
the week magazine
asks whether the pandemic has quote
turned us into barbarians
let's get in with let's get into it
rather with tonight's party plan we've
got reason senior editor
and author of panic attack young
radicals in the age of trump perfect for
father's day
robbie suave is here we've got democrat
strategist and former biden campaign
surrogate kevin walling is back
and she's the co-host for greg gutfeld
on gutfeld also fox nation host kat
timf is here uh kat and i'll see you
later on the gray gutfeld show
we're gonna party oh yeah i predict it's
gonna be a very funny lively
i'm so jealous you two are getting
together well he should be
um so robbie have we just evolved into
a bunch of stinky animals
yeah pretty much no it's worth
remembering that this was horrible
this is not the pandemic what the
restrictions we went through
this is people are not meant to live
cooped up we're social animals we want
to socialize we want to see
people uh it was horrible that we had to
not do that for a year
and this is the most you know terrible
thing the weirdest forced social
experiment that's ever taken place like
in at least the last 50 years
so i'm actually not surprised that all
manners of misbehavior are up
crime is up violence is up um these
kinds of incidents we're seeing
obviously they're
inappropriate and people need to kind of
check themselves but um
i don't know i became more
confrontational in the last year i kind
of get it
right no i know it's true and and kevin
i don't know
if uh the riots were a symptom
or if they were the cause of a part of
polite society sort of coming apart
and so now people go oh i don't like
this i can just
hit someone or spit on them or call them
names or throw bottles at them
yeah kennedy it's been insane to see and
i saw some of the clips that you played
i mean that one
clip of the woman on the southwest
flight that punched the flight attendant
right in the face and i think knocked
out two of her teeth
and to robbie's point i mean violent
crime is up 20 across the country not
just
in our big cities but suburban crime for
example is at a higher rate
now than its urban counterpart so it's
affecting all americans
across the board everybody just needs to
take a chill pill and we already know
that
crime goes up in the summer uh anyway in
terms of schools being out
not that they were in for the last year
to begin with but it's certainly a
problem that we're going to face this
summer as well
with these increasing rates yeah and
there's no summer school
so you know kids are just malingering
left to their own devices mostly a lot
of them so
they've been they've been practicing so
the summer cat they're going to get
really good at crime
oh yeah i mean well everybody gets
really good at crime in the summer look
i think that i myself have always been a
bit of a barbarian
uh just as a person but i i do think
that having that be locked inside for so
long
made things a lot worse and it is
frustrating
and i remember last summer i was
walking around because that was the only
thing you could legally do like eating
food
and going for a walk were the only legal
ways left to get dopamine in new york
city last summer
um and i said to my husband
i said you know what should we just
start doing intravenous drugs
because these are the only people who
appear to be having a fun summer they're
having a great summer
now i did not do it not to brag but i
certainly understand how you can start
to feel
look man i can't get dopamine in a
healthy social way
i i and it keeps going on and on it's
supposed to be two weeks and then it's a
month and it's a year then it's over a
year
people can get frustrated and they can
get desperate and they want to do
anything just to feel alive yeah and and
they're
they're hopeless but now it's
interesting robbie because you can feel
how everything has changed you can feel
that the vibe has completely changed
and now people are hopeful and you know
i i flew
this past weekend and the airports were
packed
and people were ready to go and when you
are pent up and you finally have the
opportunity to to do something
fun again uh and you haven't been
minding your manners
what would you do if a fight broke out
next to you on a plane robbie
i tell you what i would not do uh i
would not do the thing that
everyone seems to do which is whip out
my
camera phone and start recording it this
is the other reason these incidents look
like there's more of them
is because we are surveilling each other
on an
unprecedented level day after day more
so
and you know what sometimes people have
a bad day they have a bad moment and
they don't
deserve to be punished for it for the
rest of their lives sometimes they do
you shouldn't like start a fight on a
plane that's a more extreme example
but just like yelling absolutely not but
just yelling at someone in the store
we should be able to let that go a
little more and it will help if it
doesn't immediately appear on twitter or
facebook yeah i'd be upset if someone
filmed a fight of a plane i was on if i
was just
in the video because when i'm on a plane
i look bad
that's so weird because i have like
kabuki kabuki makeup and a ball gown
i really like to fly in style almost dry
it's pretty sexy
