When they shut the schools down for two years –

You may remember at the time when they shut it down for a couple of weeks, I said, oh, yeah, okay.

I get it.

You got to get your bearings here.

When it went past a couple of weeks, you may remember I came out and said, ah, bad idea here.

You don't want to do this because shutting this down is

is going to create more problems than the virus will ever create for these kids.

I said it's going to create more.

And everybody looked at me like I was some kind of heretic.

Oh, my God.

They were saying, oh, he's crazy.

What a nut.

This conspiracy guy.

Absolutely nuts.

And let me tell you who was involved in shutting this down.

Department of Education, CDC, and this is the same bunch that controls the statistics, the research and statistics that I just went over with you that said young people are at the highest levels of anxiety, depression, suicide, and loneliness since they've been keeping records.

That didn't start with COVID.

It started 10 years before COVID.

So they had that information, Joe.

They knew these kids, this population is more vulnerable than it's ever been.
