[00:01.800 --> 00:09.760] A few days ago, I put a meme up on the Dr. Reality page on Facebook and it was very controversial. [00:09.760 --> 00:15.040] It got about a thousand comments, which is rather unusual, especially in light of the [00:15.040 --> 00:20.880] fact that Facebook has severely truncated my reach because they're angry about the truth [00:20.880 --> 00:23.600] that I reveal all the time in these videos. [00:23.600 --> 00:30.960] Nevertheless, there were some responses I thought were a bit odd, so I thought we'd [00:30.960 --> 00:31.960] talk about those. [00:39.600 --> 00:41.960] Before we can talk about the comments, we have to see the meme, right? [00:41.960 --> 00:43.520] So here you go. [00:43.520 --> 00:44.520] It reads, [00:44.520 --> 00:50.040] Business owners, when you refuse service to a person without a mask, do you understand [00:50.040 --> 00:53.440] you've lost that customer forever? [00:53.440 --> 00:59.080] You might want to consider the long-term consequences of your short-term actions. [00:59.080 --> 01:03.840] On the whole, commenters fell into one of three categories in responding to that meme. [01:03.840 --> 01:07.880] Number one was, right on, Dave, you're absolutely right, why can't business owners see that? [01:07.880 --> 01:10.480] We're not going to talk about those responses today. [01:10.480 --> 01:14.880] The second response was, those businesses, they're protecting lives. [01:14.880 --> 01:19.280] All right, so we're not going to talk about those fucking idiots either, right? [01:19.280 --> 01:26.320] The third response was, Dave, you have to understand, those businesses are under pressure [01:26.320 --> 01:27.640] from the government. [01:27.640 --> 01:31.560] They're going to get fined, they're going to get cited, they're going to have their [01:31.560 --> 01:35.680] business licenses suspended if they don't fuck with you. [01:35.680 --> 01:39.720] Okay, so that's what we're going to talk about. [01:39.720 --> 01:47.120] You know, I don't know how to phrase this, so I'm going to say it sort of in a, I don't [01:47.440 --> 01:52.120] know, sort of everyman way, even though I'm not necessarily comfortable with the depiction. [01:52.120 --> 01:57.600] I am a fighter, whether we go back to my days in martial arts, or whether we go back to [01:57.600 --> 02:00.880] my time as an army ranger, whether we go back to my time in law enforcement, whether we [02:00.880 --> 02:05.120] go back to my epic battles with the Internal Revenue Service, which eventually resulted [02:05.120 --> 02:07.920] in income tax shattering in the midst, and on and on and on and on, right? [02:07.920 --> 02:14.880] So if we say that I've always been a fighter, how do you imagine I feel about lay down little [02:14.880 --> 02:15.960] bitches? [02:15.960 --> 02:17.560] So that's what these companies are. [02:17.560 --> 02:23.560] Clearly, I'm going to use Walmart as an example, and I'm not picking on Walmart, let me be [02:23.560 --> 02:24.840] very clear about that. [02:24.840 --> 02:30.880] I'm using it because clearly Walmart has the financial resources to go to war against these [02:30.880 --> 02:32.160] governors. [02:32.160 --> 02:39.960] For instance, various Walmarts in Las Vegas have been fined tens of thousands of dollars, [02:39.960 --> 02:44.040] I don't know cumulatively through all the different Walmarts in Las Vegas how much they've [02:44.040 --> 02:48.320] been fined, but it's a lot, okay? [02:48.320 --> 02:53.800] So is Walmart fighting any of that? [02:53.800 --> 02:58.000] No, they have the resources, and they're still not fighting it. [02:58.000 --> 03:01.720] Now again, I'm not picking on Walmart, Walmart especially here in my small town has been [03:01.720 --> 03:04.520] wonderful about this issue, so I'm not picking on Walmart. [03:04.520 --> 03:08.960] I'm pointing out these companies, whether it be Walmart, whether it be Kroger's, whether [03:09.960 --> 03:16.540] Home Depot, Lowe's, they have the resources to go after these state agencies, to go after [03:16.540 --> 03:22.120] these inspectors, to go after these governors in court, and they're not. [03:22.120 --> 03:25.000] Why the fuck would I respect them for that? [03:25.000 --> 03:26.880] Why would I let them off the hook? [03:26.880 --> 03:31.480] Why would I say, oh well they were under pressure, so when this is all over I'm going to go back [03:31.480 --> 03:34.080] and spend my money there? [03:34.080 --> 03:35.400] Why would I do that? [03:35.400 --> 03:36.720] They're lay down little bitches. [03:37.320 --> 03:42.680] Now I use Walmart and Home Depot and Lowe's as an example of people with deep pockets, [03:42.680 --> 03:46.400] they can afford the fight, but they're the last people, probably a bad example, because [03:46.400 --> 03:51.480] they're the last people who want to fight because they've had a financial windfall from [03:51.480 --> 03:52.480] this whole thing. [03:52.480 --> 03:54.680] It's been great for those mega corporations. [03:54.680 --> 03:59.900] So how about medium sized businesses that really got hit hard from the lockdown? [03:59.900 --> 04:01.320] Are they fighting back? [04:01.320 --> 04:03.640] No, they're not. [04:03.640 --> 04:06.680] Small businesses, a lot of people are going to say, but Dave, they don't have the resources, [04:06.680 --> 04:09.000] and that's true on an individual basis. [04:09.000 --> 04:15.400] But there are associations, there are trade associations and professional associations [04:15.400 --> 04:20.580] that represent thousands or even tens of thousands of these businesses. [04:20.580 --> 04:25.800] So how many of those have been together through their professional organizations or their [04:25.800 --> 04:28.760] product organization or their market organizations? [04:28.760 --> 04:35.120] How many of them have been together and sued or otherwise gone after, maybe administratively? [04:35.120 --> 04:39.480] How many of them have gone after these inspectors, these agencies or the governors? [04:39.480 --> 04:43.720] Yeah, that would be zero. [04:43.720 --> 04:47.680] The point is there are ways to fight. [04:47.680 --> 04:52.160] And just like I don't lay down, I don't know about you, maybe you're a lay down motherfucker [04:52.160 --> 04:54.720] too or maybe you're not, maybe you're a fighter too. [04:54.720 --> 05:01.500] But I'll tell you something, these companies that are imposing this bullshit on their customers, [05:01.500 --> 05:03.440] they're lay down motherfuckers. [05:03.560 --> 05:05.480] Not one of them is fighting back. [05:05.480 --> 05:06.880] Well, I shouldn't say not one of them. [05:06.880 --> 05:12.080] There's, I don't know, a couple dozen cases across the entire United States. [05:12.080 --> 05:18.800] Other than that, all these industries are laying down. [05:18.800 --> 05:25.560] So when I see what they're imposing on their customers, and they're not, the lion's share, [05:25.560 --> 05:31.080] 99% of them are not imposing this crap on their customers because they believe it. [05:31.120 --> 05:35.040] As a matter of fact, every corporate executive that I have spoken to in the last nine months [05:35.040 --> 05:40.720] and every facility manager that I have spoken to in the last nine months has been like, [05:40.720 --> 05:44.080] this shit needs to go away. [05:44.080 --> 05:49.120] And what they say to me privately is that they don't support this and they don't want [05:49.120 --> 05:50.120] this. [05:50.120 --> 05:54.000] They know it irks a lot of their customers. [05:54.000 --> 06:00.600] Now there are customers who are like, oh my God, everybody has to wear a mask around me. [06:01.120 --> 06:08.040] But the store managers, the facility managers, the corporate executives, they do not want [06:08.040 --> 06:11.920] this burden at all. [06:11.920 --> 06:14.080] So what do they do about it? [06:14.080 --> 06:16.040] Not a fucking thing. [06:16.040 --> 06:22.120] Because America, we don't fight the misapplication of authority anymore. [06:22.120 --> 06:24.080] We don't stand up. [06:24.080 --> 06:26.040] We don't assert our rights. [06:26.040 --> 06:28.280] We don't do any of that crap. [06:28.280 --> 06:30.960] They in America, do you know what Americans do? [06:30.960 --> 06:33.840] Yeah, they comply. [06:33.840 --> 06:35.640] They're obedient. [06:35.640 --> 06:37.760] And that's exactly what these businesses are doing. [06:37.760 --> 06:39.320] Now I want to be very clear. [06:39.320 --> 06:41.240] I have unalienable rights. [06:41.240 --> 06:45.680] If you're watching this, you have unalienable rights too. [06:45.680 --> 06:49.320] The very definition of unalienable rights is these rights exist in me because I'm a [06:49.320 --> 06:51.920] human being in the moment I'm born. [06:51.920 --> 06:56.560] That's essentially the framework of unalienable rights. [06:56.560 --> 06:58.800] Corporations don't have unalienable rights. [06:58.800 --> 07:01.960] Corporations are created in law and their rights are controlled by law. [07:01.960 --> 07:05.880] The courts universally view corporations as 14th Amendment citizens of whatever state [07:05.880 --> 07:08.680] they're incorporated in. [07:08.680 --> 07:14.840] And based on the 14th Amendment, based on state law, based on various court decisions, [07:14.840 --> 07:22.080] corporations have rights given to them, unlike unalienable rights which belong to us from [07:23.080 --> 07:29.080] corporations have rights given to them in law and they should be using those. [07:29.080 --> 07:30.080] And guess what? [07:30.080 --> 07:32.160] Yeah, they're not. [07:32.160 --> 07:37.440] So when a business tries to impose whatever restrictions they want to impose on you or [07:37.440 --> 07:43.800] me, why should I say when they're a bunch of laid down motherfuckers, why should I say, [07:43.800 --> 07:44.800] oh, well, that's okay. [07:44.800 --> 07:50.400] I'm just going to cut them some slack and they don't hold any responsibility in this? [07:50.400 --> 07:51.520] No. [07:51.520 --> 07:58.200] And honestly, I really don't get my fellow Americans that hold that point of view. [07:58.200 --> 08:03.560] Where are the Americans that are standing up and saying out loud, emailing the companies, [08:03.560 --> 08:08.480] talking to managers and saying, look, if you want to be a laid down motherfucker, that's [08:08.480 --> 08:14.060] okay, but you're never going to get another penny of my money. [08:14.060 --> 08:15.280] But there are some people doing that. [08:15.280 --> 08:22.320] I'm not going to name names, but a friend of mine, he spends about ten thousand dollars [08:22.320 --> 08:25.040] a year at Best Buy. [08:25.040 --> 08:26.880] He went to a Best Buy recently. [08:26.880 --> 08:30.400] They told him, no mask, get the fuck out. [08:30.400 --> 08:34.280] You know what he said? [08:34.280 --> 08:40.280] No more money for you, Best Buy, not one fucking red cent. [08:40.280 --> 08:43.720] And he emailed the corporation and told them that. [08:43.720 --> 08:46.440] That's the kind of activism we need. [08:46.440 --> 08:50.240] And nobody's doing it because Americans don't have any guts anymore. [08:50.240 --> 08:52.240] They don't have any balls anymore. [08:52.240 --> 08:56.120] They've just become obedient sheep. [08:56.120 --> 08:58.440] And I hate to say that. [08:58.440 --> 08:59.640] I would like to believe otherwise. [08:59.640 --> 09:03.960] I really, really, really would like to believe otherwise. [09:03.960 --> 09:08.560] But there's plenty of evidence that what I'm saying is true. [09:09.000 --> 09:16.680] The last nine months has really shown what sheep the American people are. [09:16.680 --> 09:18.680] Now, not all of us, right? [09:18.680 --> 09:20.760] There are people who hold views somewhat. [09:20.760 --> 09:25.640] But I got to say, I think we're in the severe minority. [09:25.640 --> 09:33.440] So if Americans no longer have the spirit of rebellion, the spirit of the founding fathers, [09:33.440 --> 09:37.480] what is America anymore?
