>> HARD TO CONVINCE THAT CAMERA
MAN TO GO ON THE ROOF TO DO THAT
SLOW ZOOM IN BUT I’M GLAD HE
DID.
A YEAR OF GOVERNMENT IMPOSED
LOCKDOWNS, MANDATES, MASK
MANDATES LEFT AND RIGHT AND NOW
A PLAN FOR THE IRS TO LOOK INTO
YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.
I’M NOT KIDDING.
IT’S TRULY NO WONDER AMERICANS
ARE FED UP WITH GOVERNMENT
OVERALL AND A NEW GALLUP POLL
SAYS 43% OF AMERICANS SAID THE
GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO MORE TO
SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS BUT HERE’S
THE BIG NUMBER, 54% SAY -- 54%
SAID THEY SHOULDN’T.
MAYBE JOE BIDEN’S HEAVY HANDED
APPROACH HAS SOURED SOME FOLKS.
SO LET’S START WITH YOU,
SHANNON.
THIS POLL SURPRISED ME.
IN A TIME IN WHICH PEOPLE LIKE
TO BLAME AND POINT FINGERS,
THEY’RE SAYING I WANT GOVERNMENT
TO DO LESS.
THEY HAVE TOO MUCH AND THEY GOT
THEIR HANDS IN TOO MANY
SITUATIONS.
ARE YOU SURPRISED BY THIS?
>> Shannon: WELL, BUT THEY VOTED
FOR AN ADMINISTRATION WHO WOULD
BE FOR MORE GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
I MEAN, THIS IS THE PERSON THEY
ELECTED IN JOE BIDEN.
>> Brian: SO YOU’RE THINK THE
RESPONSE.
>> Shannon: I THINK THEY’RE
FRUSTRATED AND I THINK THE BEST
ILLUSTRATION IS COLLEGE
FOOTBALL.
YOU SEE THE STADIUMS FULL LIKE
80, 90, A HUNDRED THOUSAND
PEOPLE.
>> Brian: WHAT DO THEY CAN’T, I
CAN’T MAKE THAT OUT.
>> Shannon: "LET’S GO BRANDON"
BUT I THINK THAT IS PEOPLE
SHOWING UP SAYING WE’RE GOING TO
MAKE OUR OWN DECISIONS AND WE
DECIDED THIS SITUATION IS OKAY
WITH OUR RISK TOLERANCE LEVEL.
THAT’S THE KIND OF PUSHBACK
YOU’RE SEEING.
PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF PEOPLE
TELLING THEM WHAT TO DO.
I HAVE TO MENTION WE HAD THIS ON
THE SHOW, UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA,
I’M A SEMINOLE THESE ARE GATORS
BUT THEY HAVE GOOD INFORMATION.
AND THEY SAY THEY’VE BEEN
TRACKING THESE TRENDS AND THE
CHIEF EPIDEMIOLOGIST TRACKING
THESE FOOTBALL GAMES SAYS NOT
SEEING COVID RAMIFICATIONS, THE
OUTDOOR EVENTS ARE NOT THE UP
SOER SPREADER EVENTS PEOPLE
WORRIED THEY WERE GOING TO BE.
SO I THINK SOME AMERICANS ARE
DECIDING THAT THEY KNOW BETTER
FOR THEMSELVES.
>> Brian: WE HAVEN’T FELT THIS
WAY, THE GOVERNMENT WAS THE
PROBLEM, REMEMBER, RONALD REAGAN
RAN ON THAT KATIE, THE
GOVERNMENT’S THE PROBLEM, GET
OUT OF THE WAY.
AND NOW DO YOU THINK THIS POLL
CONVINCE YOU THAT AMERICAN’S
CHANGED THEIR MINDS OR DO YOU
NEED TO SEE MORE?
>> YOU COMBINE WITH THIS JOE
BIDEN’S POLLING NUMBERS WITH HIS
JOB APPROVAL AND YES THEY’RE
GETTING FRUSTRATED BUT IT’S MORE
ABOUT THE PHILOSOPHY THAT YOU
HAVE BEHIND GOVERNMENT.
SO WHEN THERE’S A BIG CRISIS
PEOPLE TEND TO THINK THAT THE
GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO
HANDLE IT.
THEN THEY SCREW IT UP, AND THEY
GO TOO FAR, ESPECIALLY
DEMOCRATS, AND IMPLEMENT ALL
THESE THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAY
ARE, YOU KNOW, SHOULD HAVE DONE
A YEARING A, THEY’RE NOT
APPLICABLE NOW.
AND WHEN YOU GO FROM 15 DAYS TO
SLOW THE SPREAD TO A YEAR AND A
HALF LATER OF TAKE A VACCINE OR
LOSE YOUR LIVELIHOOD AND YOUR
JOB AND YOUR ABILITY TO FEED
YOUR CHILDREN, I THINK PEOPLE
PROBABLY THINK YOU’RE GOING TOO
FAR.
BUT IT ALSO GOES TO THE FACT
THAT JUST THIS WEEK, THE PRESS
SECRETARY JEN PSAKI SAID THAT
JOE BIDEN IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
THIS CRISIS TO TRY TO IMPLEMENT
HIS $3.5 TRILLION AGENDA BECAUSE
THEY STILL THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE
IN CRISIS MODE AND THEY WANT THE
GOVERNMENT TO HANDLE THINGS AND
TAKE CARE OF THEM BUT THEY’VE
PROVEN ON A LOT OF THESE THINGS
THAT THEY’VE SCREWED UP, MISSED
THE MARK AND GOING WAY TOO FAR
WHEN IT COMES TO CONTROLLING
PEOPLE’S LIVES A YEAR AND A HALF
AFTER THIS HAPPENED
>> Brian: AND JESSE WHAT THEY’RE
ALSO SAYING TO US, TOO, AND
FURTHER ON THIS POLL IS NOT ONLY
DO THEY WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE
BUT THE STUFF YOU HAVE YOUR
HANDS IN WE WANT YOU TO BACK
OFF.
43% OF AMERICANS SAY THERE’S TOO
MUCH GOVERNMENT REGULATION IN
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY, 25% SAY
THERE’S TOO LITTLE, 30% SAY
RIGHT AMOUNT.
PEOPLE FROM THE DELI OWNER TO
THE RESTAURANT TO BIG BUSINESS,
BACK OFF, LET ME TRY TO BE
SUCCESSFUL.
>> JESSE: I LIKE THESE NUMBERS A
LOT.
THERE WAS A GREAT PIECE TODAY IN
THE POST, IT WAS BY GLENN
REYNOLDS, THE IRRATIONAL COVID
REGIME IS DRIVING AMERICANS TO A
HEALTHY NONCOMPLIANCE AND THEY
USE A TERM CALLED IRISH
DEMOCRACY, WHICH IS WHEN THE
COUNTRY, YOU GO TO A PARTY AND
LEAVE WITHOUT SAYING GOOD-BYE?
>> JESSE: THAT’S AN IRISH
GOOD-BYE.
BUT WHEN THE GOVERNMENT -- WE
DON’T LIKE, BUT WE’RE NOT GOING
TO RIOT OR OVERTHROW THE
GOVERNMENT, WE’RE JUST NOT GOING
TO COMPLY.
WE’RE GOING TO FOOT DRAG, MAYBE
A LITTLE SABOTAGE, THROWING A
MONKEY WRENCH IN THEREN A YOU
LOOK AROUND AT AMERICA AND
THAT’S WE’RE DOING.
ARE WE WEARING OUR MASKS, OR
DOWN BELOW THE NOSE OR POT AT
ALL.
SOCIAL DISTANCING, OKAY, I’M
GOING TO THE BEACH, I’M GOING TO
THE BEEN IF GAME, ALL RIGHT?
YOU KNOW WHAT?
NOT FEELING TOO GOOD TODAY, I
THINK I HAVE TO FEEL IN SICK,
SORRY IF YOUR FLIGHT’S
CANCELLED.
THAT’S WHERE WE ARE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
WE DIDN’T LIKE WHAT THEY DID
TELLING US HOW MANY PEOPLE WE
COULD HAVE IN YOU ARE ON
RESTAURANTS, THEY MADE US PAY
MONEY FOR PLASTIC DIVIDERS THAT
DIDN’T WORK.
NOW OUR KIDS HAVE TO STAY HOME
ON ZOOM, NO THANKS.
IRISH DEMOCRACY.
>> Brian: YES, SIR CA, DITTO?
>> Jessica: NO.
I’D RATHER TALK ABOUT IRISH
GOOD-BYES ACTUALLY.
THAN IRISH DEMOCRACY.
SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT POLL
QUESTIONS LIKE THIS IS THAT
THEY’RE REALLY BROAD RIGHT SO
YOU WANT LESS GOVERNMENT IN YOUR
LIFE, YES OR NO.
BUT IF YOU GO TO THE INDIVIDUAL
ISSUES, THERE ARE A LOT OF
PLACES WHERE AMERICANS, THE
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY DO WANT
GOVERNMENT IN THEIR LIVES.
LIKE YOU HAVE POLLS FROMLE THE
KAISER FAMILY FOUNDATION THAT
EVEN SHOW A MAJORITY OF
AMERICANS WANT A PUBLIC OPTION
FOR INSTANCE, THEY WANT EXPANSE
EXPANSION OF MEDICARE.
YOU HAVE A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS
FOR VACCINE MANDATES, PEOPLE PRO
MASKING.
ET CETERA.
SO YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT
JUST SAYING THIS MEANS, YOU
KNOW, JOE BIDEN HAS HAD A
TERRIBLE SIX MONTHS IN OFFICE
AND THEY’RE TURNING AGAINST THE
IDEA OF BIG GOVERNMENT.
IT’S THE INDIVIDUAL POLICIES
THAT COUNT.
REGULATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN A
PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WANT THE RED
TAPE CUT BUT THEY DON’T WANT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO HELP WITH
CLIMATE CHANGE FOR INSTANCE.
>> Katie: BUT WHEN YOU ASK THE
FOLLOW-UP WHO IS PAYING FOR IT
OR SHOULD PEOPLE LOSE THEIR JOB
FOR FORCED VACCINATION, THE
ANSWER IS NO.
>> Brian: EVEN THOSE THOUSANDS
HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS.
>> JESSE: WE’RE ON TO YOU
POLLSTERS.
>> Brian: MEANWHILE, WHAT CAMERA
