Sense of placing the failed by the gallon g. s of the right and left the judges from new york sank to joining a story you recently wrote you said that cutting red tape in health care has unleashed waves of energy and ingenuity to deal with this in 19 yeah you saying were doing well with this well we did really poorly at the beginning i mean there are a lot of theres going to be report after all over talking about how badly the bureaucratic framework were leaders not taking is just a sleep but in the last 2 or 3 weeks youve got a great job and the key to that was throwing away the rule books through it all through books i mean not none of what theyre doing in tipperary hospitals doctors and nurses or other states that we tell of medicine for everyone else none of thats legal under the old law the rules prohibit all of it. As the president. Then up to the job in your opinion. Not to be giving certainly not i mean again in the last 3 weeks i think theres been a lot of effort good effort by everybody including the president you say that at the end of all this said needs to be a temporary Recovery Authority what would that authority do well it would it would waive rules that get in the way of people getting back to work and made us ranks 55th in the world in the ease of starting a business just ahead of niger in just behind afghanistan i mean did it take you have to go to 10 different agencies to get a permit to start something thats ridiculous you also said this this Temple Grandin at work in akron that. If the temporary Recovery Authority would. Would have the authority to wit if rules that would require allow require and allow states to for example create one stop shop for new businesses it would streamline if you thought through permits so we could get infrastructure jobs going it would waive the thousands of rules that govern Public Schools that will make it hard for people to get schools back up and running and you know you describe this as an economic call up your lab raid on that. Yeah i mean its unprecedented it even in times of war we havent been disabled from moving out of our homes mean this is a situation where. Where businesses that dont serve the public thinks keep going but the businesses that do serve the public which is probably 25 percent or more of the economy you know restaurants and all kinds of Service Organizations have all had to close down this is extraordinary its its an unprecedented economic. Sort of. A bank where people are not allowed to work and we can survive it for a little bit but not for 6 months i assure you dont get better it will get better when we have more tests available because in we can manage we can manage the virus the the tragedy the biggest mistake made is we were prepared to gear up quickly when the virus came to test people so we can determine whos had it and so is it with those people can go back out in the workforce. Whos now and not good enough people need to be isolated and then you have to have a kind of a regular testing regime in order to roost to get people back to work and were still way behind the 8 ball on getting a test or well look at large the u. S. Surgeon general by setting motor all madam says the week ahead is going to be a pearl harbor or a 911 moment for most americans. How much is that concern you know how much does it worry you. Well certainly that statement is very concerning. Im not confident here as i cure it i think the americans have done a good job of self isolating it looks to me and im hoping that the hospitalizations and the deaths of plot tode and will start to decline so. You know my hope is that we can get past the next couple of weeks get more tests available and get americans back to work again the i think that will happen. Well i think theres a decent shot that by the end of april. We will have enough under control that we can begin starting businesses up again and having a test Monitoring System like the one that was proposed the other day in wall street journal by Congress Paul rooper. Results were rolling series of tests. That isolate the people who are sick and let everybody else do their were here share and if the parents in the United States elections in november. Well im a little worried about the election process with all the primaries being delayed and. And such should mean you might have to go to. Mail voting or even online voting. You know a lot are going to change as a result of this and one of the things that ought to change is that we should do more things like tell of medicine which are obviously much poorer fish and going to a Doctors Office a doctor can see 50 people in the time we could probably see 5 people with 50 people on live in a time you can see 5 people. Lives to be incredibly efficient to do that you know is i think this should also be a wake up call for. For this kind of red state nation that weve created i mean its madness that you have a rule for everything what kind of disinfectant is you just you know. You have to have a same gender attendant where you are when youre transporting disabled people in new york i mean all these things sound good in the abstract but if youre trying to solve a problem you cant go around with a 1000 page rule book in your face and. This is the tragedy of this the dependent me that is that the people 2 months ago were allowed to act because they had to go through the eye of the washington needle well a lesson is a shall learn from the past well we learn lessons from this. Boy i sure hope so i think this is a wake up call that America Needs a serious Spring Cleaning of the regulatory state and its not what conservatives have been called for its not to get rid of Regulatory Oversight is to make it simple so that people can actually roll up their sleeves and get things done if regulation should focus on goals and principles like the constitution is shouldnt give people 1000 page rule books and to say how many inches away from the sink the socket has to be a lot of these things make no difference whatsoever you know or be in telemedicine because it might somehow be viewed by somebody who shouldnt view it in some so much more effective so let people do their work so i think coming out of this we need to have a serious awakening to the need for a Spring Cleaning commission in all of washington i mean its just. You know an amazon jungle of red tape probably came into this country and and what it fed on was a patient with a defective immune system and the immune system was defective because americans the Public Health workers in seattle or around were not allowed to use their best judgment because of all the red tape and this should be a wake up call to clean it out its about time. The mystic are pessimistic. You know im optimistic and i believe in the American People if you look at all the front lines Health Care Workers and all the things youre doing the dedication and you know really risking their lives going in and dealing with infected people for 12 hours or 15 hours a day i mean what a great character the people of this country have and the tragedy is weve created this regulatory state that doesnt let them be themselves you know people in america and schools everywhere you know longer of the right to do whats right and so you know all we need to get this country going again is to give back to americans the freedom to get things done i mean this is a can do country i really believe in america and i think this this whole crisis if theres a Silver Lining to it its to make us realize that we cant regulate every single choice of life the point of a free society is revealed to be free and its really important to have government im not a libertarian im not trying to get rid of government the government should set goals and give people the freedom to get things done in their own way and be what its be whats better government and americans will rise to the challenge. But i thank you for enjoying them you being with us and stay safe right you to face so much. Thats Philip Howard the author of common sense will play shouldnt the failed we all use of the right and left and well be back with more politicking right after this. Better of slow motion and. Im a journalist its all i know being a truth teller people say i make a month come from good news is like a jackhammer good drill down to find the truth. Because its time to do news again and question more. Better of slow motion and. I dont trust medical authority at all ever and the reason for that is i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at like diet has nothing to do with our meanest orders so my suggestion to people who have Health Issues they cant figure out if theyre going to see a medical professional and theyve been going for 10 years and theyre still on the same. Playstation probably take it upon themselves to Start Testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and trying to figure out things on their own. The world is driven by. Their dares thinks. We dare to ask. Welcome back to politicking no restaurants and bars have been particularly hard hit from the economic shutdown many in the industry already about how long itll take were in theory about john tapper has talked a lot about this on one or 2 the 1st you know he holds the executive producer of reality t. V. Series bar rescue he joins you need from Las Vegas John bogle your industry standpoint how bad is this. Although its devastated lariam city here in las vegas and the last they get strip is boarded up think about that the casinos dont even have locks on it doors are a they never contemplated locking a door before so the doors are witter we boarded up with Security Guards outside of everyone were in a complete shutdown here in las vegas as the industry is in most places but its particularly devastating here. Are we can we say that all restaurants are closed except for take off or those of course the country. Pretty much i dont know of any that are open even in states that are permitting it right now i think that you know people have taken this very very seriously and not only is it just to go and delivery its its you know its a different world today its about trusting a brand trusting what they do so we all have restaurants will order from and restaurants we will order from based upon who we trust to be doing it right and safely now so what do you do john just talk about what what can you jon taffer do well you know a number of things are i think the industry is changing in a number of different ways a great brand doesnt mean its a great brand today unless it employs practices of sanitation and safety that redefine it and its interesting larry ive been working with the National Restaurant association and various people trying to help and if we close our eyes and we fake what restaurant brand is no for cleanliness none pop out not that none are unclearly im not suggesting that but nobody owns this space of safety and clean and predictability so i think the industry is going to change larry i think that marketing now is going to be about trust much more than even what we have you might buy something thats slightly maybe inferior in flavor than another product if you trust the brand more so its redefining how we communicate with customers and its redefining how we act and thats just the start where were not sure exactly how it winds down but theres several different scenarios well as a state of your industry before this hit. Oh are you having a wonderful year you know ive been touring the country i do a lot of motivational speeches and educational seminars i mean were having 700000 Small Businesses start in every quarter i mean the Restaurant Industry was up spending was up Consumer Confidence was up that and thats why this so hurts so badly because as an industry were on a roll our biggest problem was finding employees in todays economy we had business so this is cut off our legs when we were running not walking and you know its things and a lot of food gone to waste. You know i yes and of course were giving it away you know here in las vegas hundreds of pallets of food have been given away by the casinos and such but restaurants all around the country are trying to do that but in very many ways health codes prohibit that we have a liability if we give away food and it isnt refrigerated properly so then states in areas where we cant just give it to charity because health codes prohibit that were giving it to employees were giving up their friends were doing everything we can but that raises an interesting point larry about how the business reopens because all the government relief programs now in stimulus programs now are focused on payroll ranked utilities covering those type of expenses but you know larry when all of this food is given away and thrown away because its wasted every restaurant in america has an empty refrigerator so now they need the money when the stimulus kicks in and emergency procedures are over and we open up again after the pandemic every restaurant needs the money to put in a completely new fresh food inventory in many cases completely new frozen food inventory and theres no provision in the current stimulus for that so were hoping in the restart stimulus that there is some consideration to move dollars through for restaurant inventory because of course larry that affects farmers food manufacturers everyone down the chain. I you happy with the way this administration has handled this you know how i believe that we you know he didnt step into it in the best of places im not sure that that everything was set up to handle this properly but i do believe in might be a way to get the federal government in such that that i think that everybody there is doing everything they can right now with what they have to work with and it seems the past week or so are some things are coming together the hospitals are getting set up in certain cities like javits in new york accent or i think were starting to maybe get our materials and our beds and everything ahead of that so you know i dont want to get ahead of myself but i sense we might be turning a corner in new york now which would be terrific but andrew cuomo has certainly shown and this has a major resume to the front oh he has you know hes shown himself as a manager to sure larry and as a leader in a way hes presented himself but but in as much as im very impressed with the way hes handled this you know i cant help but remember when de blasio wanted to close new york city down and come up push back on that for a while and said you know i think he might have gotten on board a little late but i think hes that magnificent in a way hes am a bit since that what have you saw the restaurant workers or what what what happens then. You know thats a really scary scenario that i am when we talk with Industry Leaders you know were looking at maybe 30 to 40 percent fall out of independent restaurants you know before this pandemic started unemployment was low jobs were plentiful so if they left work a for their restaurant they could go find a job someplace else the fact of the matter is were probably going to as a bunch of them on the other hand new sanitation standards and practices might add some bodies to a restaurant as well because of the procedure changes consequently things like that so there could be a Positive Side to it i think some of them are going to come become delivery drivers and ive suggested to my friends that are in the Restaurant Business that it cant work inside the restaurant now you know you know start working on deliveries because a restaurant conserve 100 people in an hour within a restaurant larry but serving 100. 00 deliveries within an hour is a different thing so such delivery support is is i think a key element now restaurant employees can pitch in and make a few dollars and at least keep the kitchens going well nationwide chains benefit more than the local independent restaurant. You know i think where its how they reap is ition themselves they were starting to see it on the advertising now that their group has issued a no showing that their employees are in gloves and theyre wearing hats and they were in masks and you know its the its the National Brands that step out and present an image of trust and safety that are going to when you know all bets are off and all communications you know if the burger is steak and juicy and wonderful larry but you dont trust the standards of the place to hell with that burger so so trust is going to be such a key element in food service as we move forward and were going to see brand shifting embarking on communications and such to Building Trust again i think its all about trust every business whether its the local deli the restaurant the supermarket were going to start going to where we trust their practices and thats a game changer and how do you build trust because you just reopened how do you get the guy in the neighborhood to trust eating at your restaurant you know its interesting i was on social media yesterday and i saw a picture for a restaurant and it was a gentleman about my age laying a liaison you noodle and pan larry and the caption on a photograph was our famous lasagna will be available for curbside pick up at 5 oclock but the guy was wearing street clothes he was wearing a mask he didnt have a had on he was wearing classical arms but that was it thats exactly the message that we cant send so deep images that we send have to show cleanliness and people in white clean clothes and maybe masks on their faces certainly the right gloves materials its all of the visual messages that we send and the way we present ourselves now has to build that trust its a whole different way to marketing that are can you can you describe for me what vegas looks like. Yes i drove down the strip yesterday on my way to a Grocery Store so i diverted every every day i married these are the Largest Hotels in a world right here in las vegas and net completely closed the driveways have nothing in them there roped off at the street you can see a Security Guard standing in front of each of the doors to city is completely closed down theres not one casino open not one restaurant in any of the casinos open i went to town center which is our outside stuff and im not one car anywhere where it looks like a war zone and its horrifying and when we look forward i worry when is the next time somebody like you and i are going to get in an elevator and go up to the 30th for. How much business the you have they. What would you know my company is closed down my Media Company and im doing this obviously from home so my Media Company is close all my friends restaurants and bars of course my production is closed bar rescue shut down in the middle of the season so about 102 people a lot of their jobs then a consulting practice is narrowed down our media practice were at a crawl right now erin and you know were all just trying to make a difference just like you are were trying to make a difference i want to give people some hope in the future you know theres Little Things that restaurants can do in a reopen for example lets say that we have to spread tables out loud to create more distance between people if we do that lets say we lose 30 percent of our Seating Capacity well that means we lost 30 percent of our revenue capacity i used to run one specials for an hour hour and a half from lets say 12 to 130 now im going to run early bird specials for lunch late bird specials for lunch i need to turn that one hour lunch into a 3 hour lunch so i can see the same amount of people that day so these are the kind of changes well make as we go into this are you are you optimistic or pessimistic. Right now i am optimistic and heres why you know for entrepreneurs and people that get it when this ends could be one of the most exciting times that weve ever had i know this is going to be struggle but marketers are going to have very incredible opportunities to read the fine and bubble up to the top and be that one who creates the formulas the tomorrow marketers and communicators and operators and procedural people theres to be huge opportunity for these people to reestablish all these businesses so in as much as i sit here like you are in quarantine in my 25th day or so im really looking forward to today and this new marketing role does no business universe theres a lot of excitement within that premise if we can get past where we are now john tavener thank you so much and stay safe. Center larry see the friars club thank you audience for joining me on this edition of politicking were all kind of at home im sure so remember you can join the conversation on my Facebook Page or tweet me at change things dont get use the politicking hash tag and thats all for this edition of politicking.

As we head into the big klein singularity its the single most important thing that ever happened to humanity sans the creation our invention are just covering the fire. Greetings them sell you take. It appears my friends the dream of the United States we all go. Learning about is now nothing more than the burning final embers of the once powerful fire i say that because according to reuters the guardian and many other News Agencies the United States of america and its representatives have been running a no prisoners winner take all style approach to Global Medical supplies since finally taking the covert 19 pandemic seriously a few weeks back reuters reports that from europe to south america u. S. Allies are complaining about the superpowers with wild west tactics in outbidding or blocking shipments to buyers who have already signed deals for vital medical supplies how bad have we been well after we apparently hijacked an order of 200
