And the access to counsel act that refugees trying to enter the United States have the ability to talk to council and senatepassed lands bill that would permanently fund the land and conservation fund. Lawmakers are using part of that for the election campaign. Pandemic restricks. Roger is in minnesota and supports the restrictions. Roger, thanks for calling. You are on. Roger in minnesota. Well go on to rhode island, maureen. Good morning, maureen. Caller i absolutely oppose mask wearing in my community. I think this has gone far enough. I think this is all about the president ial election and trying to scare us and the numbers have been inflated and this is wrong. We are americans. We dont want to wear your masks and im done with this whole thing. Host when you say its about the president ial election, what do you mean . Caller they are trying to ruin our economy so trump looks bad. There is a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes, ok . And the far left is trying to take our country down so that we can be run by a new world order and i am done with this, this mask wearing and making us do things that we dont want to do. Host a lot of californians calling in today. Scraun from granite bay. John from granite bay. Caller i oppose the shut youp that our governor that are mandated. We have children not learning and we also have people that cannot survive out here in california without their jobs. So yeah, i think its a bad deal. Wear a mask, thats fine, but it should also be your choice. Host the governors actions have gone too far, is that what you are saying . Caller im going to say yes because there are casinos that are on opened but the schools are closed. Host crisis in minnesota, supporter of restrictions. Youre on. War ii, wek in world made sacrifices and kids donating toys. I dont think wearing a mask and safe distancing is asking too much. And this is just ridiculous. The selfishness of this land of plenty, it boggles the mind. Host what do you think of businesses that might be affected . Caller if this would have been done to begin with and people are too selfish to wear a mask. It would have been done right and the leadership would have been there and still in dem and everything else, i was raised in california. I lived in four southern states, this country is just too selfish d so spoiled and got it so easy and trying to keep people from voting, its ridiculous. Ost nancy in east pea or yeah peoria, illinois. Caller i have a nineyearold neice and she went back to get something and ran and she was out of breath and breathing and she has no health problems. Nine years old indiscernible] with kidsng to happen wearing a mask . Host is there a compromise . Caller you have people out there with copd who cant wear a mask. And i dont want his life short yepped because we are forcing him to wear a mask. He is only 57. Compromise. Ve a the masks im not sure people are wearing them right. . S it doing it any good im getting tired of it. Host one of the places that a mask has been imposed is nashville, tennessee and the violatesre spoke about the face mask. They have been issued to Issue Citations to anyone in davidson who is not complying. People do not have the right to bring the disease here and spread it. Many people may not know that that is what they are doing. Masks are needed because of the frequent asymptomatic nature of the disease and the lag time in showing symptoms. You dobblet know if you have it. Break that cycle, wear a mask. Let me be clear a violation of any public order is a class c misdemeanor by default and in Williamson County it has been graded to class a punishable by a fine or sentenced to jail up to a year. Knowing full well that the crires pandemic requires a coordinated response and that unlike other class crmp misdemeanor, the law of both residents and tourists are at considerable risk. Also our economy. Host some people responding off our tweeter feed. People calling in saying this is a hoax, fraud, there are 140,000 families wish that would true. They would have family members back. Shame on you all. Host he says while the cares act allocated 2 trillion, it d little to address save counties and cities. Host we will hear from joy, yuma, arizona, on our opposed line. Caller i have to admit im against this maskwearing stuff and hard to breathe when you are in 110plus degrees. Why is this only being put on the media when nothing else ever has been. We never had a hit from the media. I believe this is more of a scare tactic more than anything else because it is an election year. Host what leads you to believe that . Caller whatever flu that we have ever had hits the media. This one hits, 20 more people died here. 15 more people died here. No other thing had we ever had publicized. Host could you make the case that this is different than any other case . Caller i think it is being pushed that way. You have all these people out here protesting and raising hell. They are hiding their faces. Host well go to donald in shasta lake, california, sports supports this effort. Caller all the people talking about masks, we won world wars because this country banded and fought a common enemy and here we are today with a common enemy and everybody is pointing figures. You wear a mask as a selfless act of love to poket people with preexisting conditions. You do it as a service to your fellowally can and everyone who ying it is a hoax, 140,000 families that had to bury. That is not a hoax. People need to forget what Political Party they are with. We are americans. Host people cite medical reasons and some people dont feel comfortable doing so, how should they be treated . Caller if someone has a medical rope, i think trying to breathe through a mask is easier than breathing through a ventilator. I wore masks my whole life. I wear it because im not going to kill this guys grandma or the checker at walmart with Blood Pressure problems. I wear it in service to my fellow americans. Host wall street journal wrote this under the headline, evidence moupts that masks can help curb infections and cites robert red field says he believes the pandemic could be brought under control if we could get everyone to wear a mask right now. This follows an editorial emphasizing a. M. Will evidence Host Research was cuggetted using a mannequin and Smoke Generator that mechanically simulated a could you have. Host there is a lot more. Read it at the wall street journal. Charlotte, North Carolina. Caller im from charlotte, North Carolina and im opposing the mask wearing simply like the other callers, it is hard to breathe in this over 90 degrees. One of the reason im opposing it is because everybody is not in a position where they have covid so why make everyone else suffer. To order something means you have to pay. If these governors, mayors or politicians are trying to order us to do something, then we need to send them the invoice. If people start suing, half these politicians, you are not wearing the mask. And what about the people who re deaf who have to read lips. Host do you live in the city or county . Caller in the county. People as of today they are mandating to wear those masks and a lot of those major corporations are forcing people to wear masks. No mask, no services and those who are healthy, we shouldnt have to be discriminated against and not have services. I cant breathe with a mask on. Host it was the county manager last week appearing with the c. D. C. Director talking about issues of potential and more shutdowns. Way to combat this virus is to wear face coverings. And if we could get that right, we wouldnt need to be talking about the potential for another shutdown. We have created new messaging and trying to get the word out about the importance of wearing a face covering. Its not my decision but a Group Decision and the cities and towns talk about where we are. We are not in a position to make that recommendation. The city and towns can make different recommendations. We are looking what South Carolina did in South Carolina and looking at that based on some of the things we are seeing here and may make recommendation we may want to follow suit. But again there is no formal discussions we are having as a group about another shutdown. Ost rhode island is next. Caller im definitely not opposed to wearing a mask and i wish the rest of the country would educate themselves. Wearing a mask is not ourselves but saving people around you and loved ones. Im proud to say im from a state where both republicans and democrats have pulled together. We have great leadership, which is what this country is lacking right now. And we have a great dr. Scott, our scientificbased observations are reported every day at a certain time and tell you there is a mask out there for everyone. I own an n95. Im a teacher. You can have a 10 filtration mask. Educate yourself. Please. Host you believe the mask is the key to stopping transmission. Caller its going to be one of the things. Six feet, washing hands and wearing a mask will pull our nation together. Dont make it political. Read and educate yourself. Host West Virginia up next, from pat in huntington. Caller good morning. West virginia is a state that are always free and i agree with that. Im kind of a libertarian and i dont care if you have face jump cliffsoth wings or sheer for a kick or dont wear a seat belt or eyed a more cycle without a helmet, thats your business. But your freedom ends where my nose begins. And you just read the statistic that i was going to talk about, about the masks stopping within ght inches the flow of these droplets that carry this virus from other people. I use the scenario of someone peeing in the corner of the swimming pool. When you dont wear a mask and you proudly strut around in ignorance like it doesnt matter, you are peeing in the swimming pool. Your freedom ends where my nose begins. Host could you apply it to some of the examples like driving without a seat belt. The application of freedom in one instances. Caller those are dangerous. If someone wants to be crazy and taking a chance. But theyre taking a chance on my life when they blow their nasty stuff on me and dont wear a mask. There is a famous scene where the black knight tries to stop the people coming through and cutting his arms and legs off and the black knight said you havent heard me yet and he is still trying to fight him. No worse than the flu. Yes, if you start cutting off arms and get enough viruses on other viruses, sooner or later, we will have more incidents of death. Kentucky, an to opposer. Caller im completely against it. I have done my research. I have listened to all these federally run tests that have said for decades that even the n95 mask dont pose an actual increase in preventing a viral transmission. That with the fact that these clothfaced coverings that everybody is selling now will hold the moisture and keeps the virus there makes it unsafe. Social distancing and proper sanitation will definitely help. That is going to be the only way to get past this. As far as this control that everybodys trying to put out there, i dont get it. Host couple of callers saying respect of your fellow man when it comes to wearing a mask . Caller i have had this same thing where everybody says its human decency. If that was the case, why didnt you start wearing a mask long before this pandemic. People deal with a cold and other viruses that are spread person to person and nobody wears a mask until now because of control. It has nothing to do with the virus. It is control. Host control to what end . Caller to see how far they can push us, how much fear they can ut it and the media to conform it. Host to what end . Caller to see how much they can push and how much lits and ignorance that people will blindly follow. You can see the truth behind it. There are federalrun tests, random control tests that prove that none of these face masks work and if they are more detrimental to the human body wearing one than not. Host robert in california who supports the restricks. Good morning. Caller thank you for taking my call. I support the shutdown and everything that goes with it because people seem to not understand that this thing is killing people. I had my brotherinlaw, very sick. He is on a respirator right now in a hospital and doesnt give him much longer to live. We have helmet and seat belt laws and im fortunate to have rvived a [indiscernible] caller we have all these things to support life so we dont die. And we are doing nothing with pandemic. Starting with the man on top, who i do not consider my president. And its just a sad state of affairs. Host there is definitive evidence that wearing a mask is going to cut down on transition as far as we see in rising in numbers . Caller yes. Im retired. I get my check and support from anuths, i dont worry about it. 52foot , i have a trailer. They closed yosemite. People are dying, folks. Host a couple of matters when it comes to the pandemics impact on travel. Usa today reporting americans enteringrohibited from bahamas. The situation in the bahamas has deteriorated since we reopened our borders. Host read more about that situation that occurred a few hours ago. Wall street journal, they write locals e tourist town bringsled out of towners ringing the virus with them. John on our opposed line. Caller i just wanted to say i to be that we are going wearing this face mask for the next 100 years, people are so scared. And like the whole global shutdown, im sitting here with a broken leg and no income and its pretty rough. People that are older and they have an income, but the young generation, we are going to have asses. S wiping our host support line. Caller im supporting the mask wearing. Masks for maker, 300 families and friends and local organizations who need them. Its critical. There is no science that proves that masks dont work. Im appalled listening to your show this morning that the misinformation is so widely spread. You just quoted the wall street journal report showing the if he cantiveness of masks. Host thats just one study on masks. Caller there are multiple studies now showing the effectiveness of masks. Are worn, here masks their numbers are miniscule. Host how long does it take you to make a mask . Aller im not the fastest sewer. 20. Host machine sewing. I pulled my machine back in the old days when i used to sew. Host how many weeks have you been at this now . Caller i started masks, our initial reaction is what can we do. And we have family members who are doctors and nurses who werent getting enough equipment and we began with them and we started making masks for anybody, family members. Nd im a mask wearer,. Host do you buy the materials yourself or donated . Caller i had one gift card from an appreciative receiver. I use my stimulus money to purchase the material. Host lets hear from mark in des moines, iowa, on our opposed line. Caller im in the middle of iowa. I dont know that has had the virus or died from it. Number two, i used to paint cars for a living. Now i wear the mask and i feel i cant breathe. Number three and most important i lost my thought train. Maybe it will come back to me. Host you said two out of the three. Well go to chuck. Chuck out of west ton, ohio on our support line. Caller i support the masks. We are the richest and most powerful country in the world, but when it comes to common sense, it is so stupid. Oppose e people who wearing the mask. If any of these people happen to pass away, so be it, im sorry. You get what you deserve. Host one of the comments that came out with the interview of President Trump and the increase of cases of coronavirus in the United States. Heres a bit of that exchange from yesterdays interview. We have the best testing in the world. If you didnt test. If we tested half as much those numbers would be down. I say flames, well put out the flames and put out in some cases burning embers. We have embers and we do have flames. Florida became more flame like but it is going to be under control. And not just this country, but many countries. They dont talk about mexico and brazil and still parts of europe that got sooner than us. You take a look, why dont they talk about mexico which is not helping us and i say i built most of the wall, if we didnt have the wall. We have the seventh highest mortality rate in the world. It is higher than brazil, higher than russia and European Union has us on a travel ban. I closed them off. If you remember, i was the one that did the European Union. But when you talk about mortality rates, i think its the opposite. We have one of the lowest. 900 deaths in a sing day this week. Will you get me the mortality rate. I heard that we have one of the lowest mortality rate. Do you have the numbers, please . I heard we have the best mortality rate. [indiscernible] number one low mortality rate. I dont think im fake news. You said we have the worst mortality rate in the world. It is complicated. We went with numbers from Johns Hopkins university which. The u. S. Ranks seventh, worse than brazil and russia. The white house went with this chart from the european c. D. C. Showing italy and spain but countries like brazil. Russia arent included in the white house chart. Host support line from florida, this is hector. Caller good day, sir. I support wearing a mask. I think its important that those people who dont, i think they could get away with it with it drinking bleach, what do you think . Host wanda is in pennsylvania, oppose line. To this maskpposed thing. To it. Totally opposed the media gives out these reports and numbers of mortality rates. In our area, they are not all mortality rates from the virus. A lot of these, if you are in a car accident, you are counted as one of those numbers. I think the scare tactics that im seeing kind of upsets me. The media keeps on playing. It is a serious thing, i understand it because there is a virus and not going to
