Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom. Huge stock market plummets today.
Speaker 1: A global panic attack is underway because of coronavirus. Will
Speaker 1: work through what's true, what's not, what's exaggerated, and what's
Speaker 1: for real. Also, the head of the port authority here
Speaker 1: in New York has coronavirus. Governor Cuomo of New York
Speaker 1: has advice for people. Italy has quarantine people in its north.
Speaker 1: Biden versus Bernie Michigan's the Big State tomorrow. We got
Speaker 1: that and much more coming up on The buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.
Speaker 1: Make no mistake American rank here a great American Again,
Speaker 1: the buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. No,
Speaker 1: A bad flu season is eighty thousand dead. We've got
Speaker 1: about eighteen thousand dead from influenza this year. We have
Speaker 1: a hundred from Corona. Which should you be worried about
Speaker 1: influenza or Corona? One hundred versus eighteen thousand? Okay, it's
Speaker 1: not a trick question. And look everything that's going on
Speaker 1: with the New York cleaning the subways and everyone using
Speaker 1: Clark's wipes. And get your flu shot. WHI should be
Speaker 1: the other message, that's good, it's a good thing. So
Speaker 1: I have no problem with the behaviors. What I have
Speaker 1: a problem with is the panic and the fact that
Speaker 1: businesses are getting destroyed and people's lives are being upended
Speaker 1: not by the virus but by the panic. The panic
Speaker 1: must stop, and the press they really, I somehow need
Speaker 1: to be held accountable because they are hurting people. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the buck, sex and show everybody. That's my biggest
Speaker 1: single takeaway for today. The press is being wildly irresponsible
Speaker 1: here as we try to figure out what's next with
Speaker 1: this coronavirus situation. I have to deep dive into this
Speaker 1: with you today. We'll work through all the angles together.
Speaker 1: I really still stick to take precautions, take it seriously.
Speaker 1: Everyone needs to calm down, or not everybody, but people
Speaker 1: that are acting like this is the zombie apocalypse, and
Speaker 1: there really are people that are taking that approach. I
Speaker 1: think that if they don't get the last mask from
Speaker 1: their local drug store or something, that somehow they're not
Speaker 1: going to be ones who makes it through this. We
Speaker 1: have dealt with pandemics before as a species, we will
Speaker 1: deal with pandemics. Again. There are some takeaways from all
Speaker 1: of this. One of my most important ones is perhaps
Speaker 1: we shouldn't focus so much on science that doesn't really
Speaker 1: matter and doesn't affect any of our lives. You know,
Speaker 1: perhaps there shouldn't be this obsession with climate change and
Speaker 1: CO two emissions when we all know that it's just
Speaker 1: a matter of time. Any given year, millions and millions
Speaker 1: of people could contract a truly high mortality, virulent pathogen,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden we realize, Wow, maybe
Speaker 1: we should spend that money on something else, Maybe we
Speaker 1: could have taken a different approach. And I think, hopefully
Speaker 1: this is one of these one of these moments where
Speaker 1: we start to think about where we should really put
Speaker 1: our priority. A green New deal, all that stuff that's
Speaker 1: a that's a fake religious belief that they won't admit
Speaker 1: as a religious belief, has nothing to do with actually
Speaker 1: saving the world. They're saving the planet. These people are
Speaker 1: absurd dealing with coronavirus. This is very real. Pandemic disease
Speaker 1: is very real. And I assure you, if we were
Speaker 1: to go back and look at the archives of this show,
Speaker 1: I believe I was asked a question, maybe even last summer.
Speaker 1: What scares you? And I remember this now, I said,
Speaker 1: I said, when a pandemic disease scares me, that's something
Speaker 1: that we have to be serious about. And that's where
Speaker 1: we are now. The dow down almost what two thousand
Speaker 1: points on a plunge today related to fears over this virus,
Speaker 1: which there's a whole lot that goes into that fears
Speaker 1: over the virus, but also a decision about oil production
Speaker 1: with OPEC and OPEC. Plus I'll give you some of
Speaker 1: that storyline as well, just so we're all up to
Speaker 1: speed on it. But I just wanted to start say
Speaker 1: hey by telling you that, you know, the media really
Speaker 1: cannot resist this opportunity to slowly drag the public through
Speaker 1: a collective panic attack, because it's a lazy way to
Speaker 1: drive audience, to get clicks, to get viewers, and to
Speaker 1: hysterically trash Trump all day long. Plus somehow we are
Speaker 1: supposed to come away from all of this thinking that confused, corrupt,
Speaker 1: inept Joe Biden would do so much better, that Joe
Speaker 1: Biden would be saving us, whereas Trump is leading us
Speaker 1: into disaster. I mean, this is, this is entirely unserious.
Speaker 1: This is and it's reckless, it's damaging. It's not just
Speaker 1: something that I think we should hold them to account
Speaker 1: for in terms of the politics. But also there are
Speaker 1: a real effects here. I mean, you know doctor Drew
Speaker 1: and that clip was talking about how people's lives are
Speaker 1: being upended. There are going to be businesses that businesses
Speaker 1: might not recover some of them from this. You know,
Speaker 1: there are places now that they're in their busy season.
Speaker 1: You know, huge concerts are being canceled, huge gatherings, hundreds
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars of revenue at south By Southwest
Speaker 1: in Austin, say hi to all our folks down in Kalbj, Austin, UND.
Speaker 1: Hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue just gone. Basically,
Speaker 1: there's all this additional quarantine over from over the weekend
Speaker 1: that has taken place in northern Italy. About a quarter
Speaker 1: of all of Italy is now technically under quarantine and
Speaker 1: also has one of the oldest populations in the world.
Speaker 1: I would note that if the Chinese in a country,
Speaker 1: a very densely packed country of a now do you
Speaker 1: believe that Chinese numbers Probably not. Maybe they're maybe they're
Speaker 1: just trying to game the system and hope that their
Speaker 1: economy will not be as badly bruised by this. If
Speaker 1: they downplay their severity of the cases in their own country,
Speaker 1: that's possible. But if you believe some of the Chinese numbers,
Speaker 1: that's a huge If they have been able to turn
Speaker 1: the the the curve in the other direction now so
Speaker 1: that there are less there are fewer and fewer, not less,
Speaker 1: fewer and fewer cases of this with each passing day.
Speaker 1: And if they can do that in a billion plus
Speaker 1: person often very densely packed together China, it's certainly possible
Speaker 1: to get this under control in other places. So the
Speaker 1: dow plummeting now has all these people who are profits
Speaker 1: of doom, and I find that to be very lazy.
Speaker 1: You notice I don't come on the radio show and
Speaker 1: day after day find some way to try to frighten
Speaker 1: people all the time. There are other shows that really
Speaker 1: and they can conservatives and they do that all the time.
Speaker 1: The country's going to hell. Everything's terrible, you know, the
Speaker 1: lives are ruining everything, and any day now we're going
Speaker 1: to no longer have a constitution. There are real threats,
Speaker 1: there are real concerns. I think the rise of socialism
Speaker 1: is something even with Bernie Sanders not becoming necessarily the
Speaker 1: Democratic primary opponent, it's something we have to take very
Speaker 1: seriously in this country and look at why we'd go
Speaker 1: to this point, why we would repeat these mistakes made
Speaker 1: in the past by so many other countries and expand
Speaker 1: upon these socialist mistakes in our own country and our
Speaker 1: own economy. But all that said, I don't show up
Speaker 1: here every day and tell you that you know, we're
Speaker 1: all going to die, or that you know the Caliphate
Speaker 1: is going to take over America any day, or there's
Speaker 1: all kinds of things. Although it is true, and I
Speaker 1: like to say this, we are all going to die.
Speaker 1: That's a fact that we're just not all going to
Speaker 1: die from coronavirus. In fact, very very few of us,
Speaker 1: I think, in the overall percentage, will succumb to coronavirus.
Speaker 1: You know, in a sense, this is a reminder in
Speaker 1: our modern era where we all see life expectancy, we
Speaker 1: see life expectancy getting higher generally. I know there's been
Speaker 1: a drop in life expectancy in America for white males
Speaker 1: because of opioid addiction specifically and the deaths from it.
Speaker 1: But overall, if you look at the last one hundred
Speaker 1: years or so, we're just we're living longer and healthier,
Speaker 1: longer and healthier, longer and healthier. That's our expectation, and
Speaker 1: we get in this mindset of everything's going to keep
Speaker 1: getting better, everything's gonna keep getting stronger. We've had a
Speaker 1: stock market now that has been essentially going up for
Speaker 1: ten years, and some people would say that it's really
Speaker 1: a twenty year bull market with a blip in it.
Speaker 1: One thing that I do love is watching all these
Speaker 1: different supposed experts in the market and an investing go
Speaker 1: on TV and tell us things that are either so
Speaker 1: obvious that they don't really need to be said, or
Speaker 1: that are so stupid. I'm surprised anybody would go on
Speaker 1: TV to say it. And this is their job is
Speaker 1: to tell us about Oh, sometimes the market goes up,
Speaker 1: sometimes the market goes down, thanks Bob. So this is
Speaker 1: where we are now, recognizing that markets do come down,
Speaker 1: recognizing that pandemic disease is reel, that there are still
Speaker 1: challenges even in our incredibly comfortable modern world, especially in
Speaker 1: the developed world, especially here in America. We are all mortal,
Speaker 1: and we are having to think about that and face
Speaker 1: that in a way, we have in a long time.
Speaker 1: We have not had a draft for the military in
Speaker 1: how many decades, you know, We've had a very small
Speaker 1: percentage of this country that is the effectively the warrior
Speaker 1: class of America. They are our warriors. They go, they
Speaker 1: choose to fight America's battles at home and abroad. I mean,
Speaker 1: they choose to be the ones who are defending us,
Speaker 1: defending the constitution. We have not had a draft in
Speaker 1: many decades, and we have not had a mass casualty
Speaker 1: war along the lines of what we saw in the
Speaker 1: early to mid twentieth century in a very long time
Speaker 1: as well, right, I mean go back, you'd have go
Speaker 1: back to Vietnam, and that was mass casualties stretched over
Speaker 1: many years. We have gotten very comfortable. We've gotten as
Speaker 1: a country, I think a little bit a little bit
Speaker 1: soft about our expectations of what the future is going
Speaker 1: to be like and how there's not going to be
Speaker 1: that much strongle I mean, this is why you've had
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years completely contrived, I mean,
Speaker 1: completely made up controversies about Trump working with the Russians,
Speaker 1: and this, you know, captured the American imagination of the
Speaker 1: left of Democrats for sure, and we had to sit
Speaker 1: through this and fight through this lunacy. But that's really
Speaker 1: only possible because we weren't fighting a huge war, because
Speaker 1: we were in the midst of a depression or a
Speaker 1: major recession. Because there weren't things that we're keeping us
Speaker 1: up late at night that were imminent threats to our safety,
Speaker 1: to our family, to our well being in the way
Speaker 1: that other generations have dealt with. So I think our
Speaker 1: mentality had gotten a little bit soft, as evidenced by
Speaker 1: all the different things that we spend and you know,
Speaker 1: the media spends time talking to you about focusing on,
Speaker 1: you know, the latest in the in the transgender you know,
Speaker 1: equality movement, or whether women should be able to compete
Speaker 1: in men's sports, or just think of any issue that's
Speaker 1: gotten a hyper focus from the media that often we
Speaker 1: have to engage with on the right, try to refuge,
Speaker 1: try to say no, that's not a good idea, No,
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be so green new deals. I've perhaps perhaps
Speaker 1: the best example of this. I mean, that's just a
Speaker 1: giant lunacy fest. It makes no sense whatsoever. But we
Speaker 1: had real time spent all this issue. Yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 1: rebuild every building in the country. We're gonna dramatically transform
Speaker 1: our economy. You know, we forget sometimes that the economy
Speaker 1: can be a somewhat fragile thing. I mean, there have
Speaker 1: been empires, there have been great states of the past,
Speaker 1: nation states where or in the pre nation state, pre
Speaker 1: Westphalian era, just the hedgemon all of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 1: collapses slowly then suddenly right that that's what ends up
Speaker 1: being the epitaph, is that it was it took a while,
Speaker 1: and it didn't really and then I was a sudden
Speaker 1: boom gone. So to talk about moving trillions of dollars
Speaker 1: around in the healthcare system, or trillions of dollars around
Speaker 1: because the Green New Deal, these were only conversations that
Speaker 1: we could have because everything in this country was seeming
Speaker 1: to trend in the right direction. Despite and I now
Speaker 1: really think now that we have a real crisis at
Speaker 1: least to deal with. Think about all the false crises
Speaker 1: we've had to deal with in the last three years.
Speaker 1: And this is the one of the problems that the
Speaker 1: media has created is that, of course I'm skeptical of
Speaker 1: any media criticism of Trump's response to coronavirus because all
Speaker 1: they do is criticize it. They don't they don't take
Speaker 1: they don't, you know, take a step back and call
Speaker 1: balls and strikes. They don't pick their shots. It's everything
Speaker 1: Trump does is horrible. Everything that every decision he makes,
Speaker 1: whether it was stopping the flights in from China. I remember,
Speaker 1: I mean, I've actually got a whole thread of all
Speaker 1: these different news stories. Experts say this is not a
Speaker 1: good idea. Experts say, well, now we're talking about experts
Speaker 1: saying that we should have bigger and bigger lockdowns and
Speaker 1: don't get on a cruise ship. I mean, you're hearing
Speaker 1: experts say things like that, don't do it, and you
Speaker 1: don't need to tell me that. By the way, there
Speaker 1: are a few things that sound more hellish to me
Speaker 1: these days than being stuck on a cruise ship for
Speaker 1: a few weeks in quarantine. Stuck in my cruise ship room,
Speaker 1: I would lose my mind. So I've never been a
Speaker 1: cruise person. It's not my cup of tea, but especially
Speaker 1: these days, it's not a particularly good idea. I think
Speaker 1: we all can understand why. So I sit here and
Speaker 1: I try to take the most fair minded, objective assessment
Speaker 1: of this current situation as I can, and I really
Speaker 1: do believe that we're gonna be okay, We're gonna get
Speaker 1: through this. And there are people who you have to remember,
Speaker 1: and this goes back to what I told you last week.
Speaker 1: They are rooting for failure here. And part of rooting
Speaker 1: for failure is a self fulfilling prophecy, because if they
Speaker 1: get people more scared, if they create enough anxiety, then
Speaker 1: that alone affects decision making, affects the way people go
Speaker 1: about their daily lives, business, investment, hiring, all these different things.
Speaker 1: So that the great and the fondest wish, the greatest
Speaker 1: hope of the Democrats is Trump will go into reelection
Speaker 1: in the midst of a recession. Some have been open
Speaker 1: about that. Some have been willing to say that they
Speaker 1: just want there to be a recession. They don't care
Speaker 1: how painful that is for Americans and what that really
Speaker 1: means for us. Many of them are hoping that that's
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. They're hoping for a recession. Are
Speaker 1: they hoping for there to be real grounds based on
Speaker 1: the numbers to say that Trump let coronavirus get out
Speaker 1: of control here? I'd like to think the answer is no.
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, I believe there are people who would make
Speaker 1: that trade off because they think the Trump is the
Speaker 1: greatest threat to this country that has ever existed, which
Speaker 1: is something only crazy people can think, but they do
Speaker 1: believe it. There are millions and millions of Democrats of
Speaker 1: leftists who have adopted that as the as their core belief,
Speaker 1: their core position on all things going on in the country.
Speaker 1: Trump is the single biggest threat, and so they can't
Speaker 1: objectively talk about any of this stuff. And that's why
Speaker 1: the media just filters. The media rather just factors into
Speaker 1: this hysteria and adds to it constantly. When you know,
Speaker 1: you look at where we are right now, you look
Speaker 1: at the growth in cases in this country. It's gonna
Speaker 1: get worse before it gets better, but it's going to
Speaker 1: get better, and it's not going to be that bad.
Speaker 1: I think if that changes, we'll have a conversation about
Speaker 1: that too. Why can't everyone just be an adult about
Speaker 1: this in the media. Why can't everyone just put aside
Speaker 1: how much they hate Trump? I mean, we're going to
Speaker 1: talk more about Biden later on the show. Does anyone
Speaker 1: really think that Joe Biden has great judgment and they'd
Speaker 1: feel so much better if you would sleep better night
Speaker 1: knowing Joe Biden as president right now instead of Trump.
Speaker 1: I'd like to know why. I mean, unless burismas you
Speaker 1: checks for eighty grand a month to do nothing. I
Speaker 1: want to know why you think Joe Biden would be
Speaker 1: better in this role. What evidence is there for it.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is a mediocrity who has just done whatever
Speaker 1: he's had to do his entire career to keep getting elected.
Speaker 1: That's all he does, that's all he cares about. No leadership,
Speaker 1: no good judgment, not an intellectual, not in particularly smart,
Speaker 1: not particularly ethical, not inspiring. But that's what you're supposed
Speaker 1: to take away from so much of this criticism over
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't take it seriously to hear what he said
Speaker 1: in this press conference. Because Joe Biden would be so
Speaker 1: much better. That's an unserious position. You're in the freedom hunt.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. They have no plan.
Speaker 1: They might have a plan in seventy two hours, and
Speaker 1: he can't tell you anything about that plan. And it's
Speaker 1: like Donald Trump saying on Friday, I don't want that
Speaker 1: ship to die because that will just mean that there
Speaker 1: are more reported numbers of the coronavirus, as if somehow
Speaker 1: those numbers being reported somewhere is going to change the reality.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. These people aren't in touch with the reality,
Speaker 1: the fact that the virus does not care about their
Speaker 1: stupid politics. The virus does not care about their stupid
Speaker 1: stunts on the House floor. The virus does not care
Speaker 1: about their stupid denials or their attacks on the press,
Speaker 1: are on democrats or on international health organizations. The virus
Speaker 1: is going to kill Americans regardless of their stupidity. Are
Speaker 1: actually because of their stupidity. I mean, Joss garbrosamorn, and
Speaker 1: it's really embarrassing that MSNBC gives him the platform that
Speaker 1: they do. Well, what was that rant? Even about Trump
Speaker 1: is bad? The virus doesn't care, and Americans are gonna
Speaker 1: die because of their own stupid Really, I mean, if
Speaker 1: Americans contract this, it's because they walk around and someone
Speaker 1: coughs this stuff into the air. How does that have
Speaker 1: to do with stupidity? Joe Biden is a disgrace and
Speaker 1: a moron. Truly. Thanks for listening to The bus Esson
Speaker 1: Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Sorry, I mean, Joe
Speaker 1: Scarborough is a disgrace at the moron. But actually, since
Speaker 1: we're on the subject, Joe Biden, Joe Biden is as well,
Speaker 1: so sorry, whoops, different joes, different joes, different days, but
Speaker 1: but close enough. Nonetheless, there's also I can't help but
Speaker 1: notice a voice that keeps entering the discussion over the
Speaker 1: Trump administration's response to coronavirus, A voice that wants to
Speaker 1: be heard. And you might think, why, Well, I think
Speaker 1: we can all start to come up with some interesting
Speaker 1: reasons for that, some reasons like, for example, she wants
Speaker 1: to be back in the game some meaningful way. This
Speaker 1: is Hillary Clinton talking about the Trump administration's response, this
Speaker 1: play clabit. It's actually been worse free because when he
Speaker 1: was elected, I did hold out hope that despite all
Speaker 1: of the rhetoric, the bomb bast and everything we heard
Speaker 1: in the campaign, that the job has a way of
Speaker 1: encouraging people to grow into it, to accept the awesome
Speaker 1: responsibilities that one has. But when I heard his inaugural
Speaker 1: speech of the divisiveness of it, continuing to set Americans
Speaker 1: against America's the language to darn harnage in the streets,
Speaker 1: I knew that he had no intention of trying to
Speaker 1: be the president for the entire country. He was still
Speaker 1: very much focused on those who he had brought into
Speaker 1: his base, and I think as a result, he has
Speaker 1: made some very serious missteps as president. Like what if
Speaker 1: it weren't for coronavirus, you know it would be happening.
Speaker 1: We'd be sitting around talking about how Trump is cruising
Speaker 1: the reelection because the Democrats are a clown show. But now,
Speaker 1: because people are scared, Democrats not only blame him for
Speaker 1: they say a bad response to coronavirus. Then you say,
Speaker 1: what's the bad response? Trump's words about how it's not
Speaker 1: going to be that bad. That's not a bad response.
Speaker 1: But despite that, they use this this general feeling of anxiety,
Speaker 1: They are exploiting it and returning to the old narratives
Speaker 1: about how Trump has done a bad job as president.
Speaker 1: Trump is done a bad job because people right now
Speaker 1: are concerned, because the markets are going down, because there's
Speaker 1: an overall sentiment that we're heading into some pretty rough
Speaker 1: weeks perhaps rough months ahead. Instead of trying to help
Speaker 1: figure out what do we do to make that less
Speaker 1: bad for the American people, what are Democrats doing capitalizing
Speaker 1: on this. Trump was never a good president. Trump never
Speaker 1: did a good job. And Hillary, I think it's vious
Speaker 1: at this point, does want to be back in the
Speaker 1: game with the Democrat Party. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: that means she thinks she's going to be able to
Speaker 1: pull something off at a broker convention. That strikes me
Speaker 1: as less likely than tell me who a better VP
Speaker 1: candidates for Joe Biden than Hillary Clinton at this point,
Speaker 1: and let's look at the reality. Joe Biden is an
Speaker 1: old guy who is certainly has certainly lost a step,
Speaker 1: that's the kindest way you can put it, lost a
Speaker 1: couple steps. That's where we are right now with the
Speaker 1: Democrat frontrunner. Who will talk more about what's going to
Speaker 1: happen tomorrow in Michigan or what the expectations are. But
Speaker 1: it looks like it's going to be Biden. It looks
Speaker 1: like Joe Biden's going to be the guy who's in
Speaker 1: the front of this whole thing. But Hillary Clinton's out
Speaker 1: there still making her voice heard, still weighing in on this,
Speaker 1: and it does bring some of us to say, why
Speaker 1: do we have to hear from her again? Oh, that's right,
Speaker 1: because she also just has this Hulu documentary that came out,
Speaker 1: which is really like a hagiography. I mean, it's the
Speaker 1: most positive pro Hillary spin on her career in life.
Speaker 1: You could ever imagine being put out by a digital
Speaker 1: powerhouse Hulu. You know, I just to to the whatever
Speaker 1: conservative billionaires are out there. I do want to ask them, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: you know the left has Netflix, the left test Facebook,
Speaker 1: the left test Twitter, the left test Hulu, the left
Speaker 1: has Amazon. Look at all these places. Can we have
Speaker 1: like a not left wing major digital content platform out there?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a that's a real player that will
Speaker 1: pay fifty to one hundred million dollars for a new
Speaker 1: series or you know, to put on a new series
Speaker 1: or a new show. You know, can we stop losing
Speaker 1: in the culture fight? That would be really nice because
Speaker 1: I see it happening all over again as CNN and
Speaker 1: ABC in these different news networks just continue that. You know,
Speaker 1: they continue to serve up news to habituated liberal boomers,
Speaker 1: but everyone recognizes that they're not as relevant as they
Speaker 1: used to be. Certainly the movie studios are not as
Speaker 1: relevant as they used to be. I think it will
Speaker 1: be really nice if we reached a point where we
Speaker 1: had just one major content platform. It doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be right wing. I'm not even that'd be nice, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be just one where half the
Speaker 1: country's view of the world could get a fair shake.
Speaker 1: That would be really nice. But no, you know, let's
Speaker 1: just let's just shovel more money to some boring think
Speaker 1: tanks that are writing papers that nobody ever reads or
Speaker 1: cares about. That that's a that's or you know, or
Speaker 1: give more money to a you know, an orchestra in
Speaker 1: some like midsize US city somewhere. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: this is what the rich conservatives tend to do instead
Speaker 1: of trying to start something that could really change perceptions
Speaker 1: and have an impact anyway. That's I know that's a
Speaker 1: bit of a separate, separate thread from this, but it does.
Speaker 1: It does bother me. It's like, if I were a
Speaker 1: conservative and I had a few billion dollars, I would
Speaker 1: be building. I'd be building the next essentially Netflix that's
Speaker 1: not left wing, because half the country would be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually would like to see stories where they're good
Speaker 1: guys and bad guys, where you can say good guys
Speaker 1: and bad guys are not getting in trouble. You know
Speaker 1: that would be nice, but we're not. We're not going
Speaker 1: to have that. We never learned this lesson. We also
Speaker 1: don't take care of our people who go out and
Speaker 1: fight against the crazy Libs and then they get you know,
Speaker 1: deep platformed, or they get fired or whatever it is,
Speaker 1: and you know, there's no there's no safety net for
Speaker 1: them where you look at you look at liberals. This
Speaker 1: I just told you recently about Ivanovich. This this ambassador
Speaker 1: Ukraine who even knew her name before the whole Ukraine
Speaker 1: Trump fiasco. And you know, she's got a seven figure
Speaker 1: book deals Carnegie Institute for Peace. I mean, she's set
Speaker 1: set for life. Anybody else the stage part wants to
Speaker 1: try to help the Libs take down Trump. Guess what
Speaker 1: they see that and they say it's probably a good idea.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna give this a go. All right,
Speaker 1: So back to the coronavirus. Oh, I was going to
Speaker 1: tell you about the Saudi versus Russia oil situation. I mean,
Speaker 1: here's the here's the basics of it. Uh Saudi Arabia
Speaker 1: UH and and Russia. You know, Saudi Arabia leads OPEC,
Speaker 1: and OPEC wanted to have a cut in production. I
Speaker 1: think it was a half million barrels a day, and
Speaker 1: Russia is like, no, we don't want to do that cut,
Speaker 1: and so then OPEC went went ahead anyway, and or
Speaker 1: rather OPEC is upset with the Russians and they're fighting
Speaker 1: over whether or not there's going to be and it
Speaker 1: looks like the Russians like, now there's we're not going
Speaker 1: to play ball. So you've had a big drop in
Speaker 1: the oil markets. Um, you've had that also happening now
Speaker 1: the price of oil is going down. Uh, that's good
Speaker 1: in some ways. It depends, I mean, it depends on
Speaker 1: really what the what's your goal is. It'll help a
Speaker 1: little bit with the Okay, here, here's just I wanted
Speaker 1: to give you a more precise description of exactly Saudi
Speaker 1: Arabia slashed its export oil prices over the weekends. According
Speaker 1: Times and what's likely to be the start of a
Speaker 1: price were aimed at Russia, but with potentially devastating repercussions
Speaker 1: for Russia's ally Venezuela, Saudi Arabia's enemy Iran, and even
Speaker 1: American oil companies. The effects were quickly felt as the
Speaker 1: Brent global oil benchmark price collapsed by about eleven dollars
Speaker 1: a barrel, or twenty five percent late Sunday in the
Speaker 1: sharpest declined since at least nineteen ninety one, and stock
Speaker 1: market futures fell by about three percent. The Saudi decision
Speaker 1: to cut prices by nearly ten percent was a dramatic
Speaker 1: move in retaliation for Russia's This is what I was
Speaker 1: talking about, Russia's refusal on Friday to join the Organization
Speaker 1: of Petroleum Exporting Countries in a large production cuts the
Speaker 1: as Corona continues to slow the global economy and with
Speaker 1: it the demand for oil. So that's you got this
Speaker 1: fight between Saudi and Russia over oil production. And that's
Speaker 1: now also adding to this, some people are claiming that
Speaker 1: that's really what drove the markets down so much today,
Speaker 1: Are they correct? I mean, the thing about going on
Speaker 1: TV to make those kinds of perception perception analyzes of
Speaker 1: the market is it's really tough for anybody to know
Speaker 1: if you're right or not. So you just get to
Speaker 1: go on TV and and really say whatever you want.
Speaker 1: You know, Italy is concerning to people right now. Wait,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna before I get to Italy. This is also
Speaker 1: a reminder back to the economy for a second. This
Speaker 1: is a reminder that there's only so much federal government,
Speaker 1: the federal government and global governments can do, or governments
Speaker 1: around the globe to try and help in a situation
Speaker 1: like this. Cutting the rate, you know, right now is
Speaker 1: apparently a great time to take out a mortgage. Right
Speaker 1: now is a great time to do a bunch of
Speaker 1: different things because the cost of borrowing is so very low.
Speaker 1: But that's not really the problem. The problem is that
Speaker 1: people are staying home and not going to things, and
Speaker 1: not using money that they would at businesses and for
Speaker 1: services and things like that. That's the problem. And nobody
Speaker 1: who's staying home from a concert. I think they're about
Speaker 1: They're about to ban Coachell, cancel pen whoops, about to
Speaker 1: cancel Coachella. They've already canceled south by Southwest, sporting events
Speaker 1: in Italy are canceled. I mean, I can't even keep
Speaker 1: up with all the different stuff that's being canceled in
Speaker 1: the US right now. We will talk about what this
Speaker 1: means for the political season, because I think we are
Speaker 1: going to see some some implications for that, But the
Speaker 1: Fed's tools don't really work here. So that's also a
Speaker 1: reminder that we have this belief, oh, the government, when
Speaker 1: things get really bad with the economy or when we
Speaker 1: get really scared, the government can fix this. Not necessarily.
Speaker 1: You know, governments have wanted to fix things in the
Speaker 1: past when things have gotten really bad and we just
Speaker 1: had to take the medicine, take the pain. So this
Speaker 1: is another moment where we see that there's not some
Speaker 1: silver bullet, there's not some magic fix that they have
Speaker 1: waiting on the shelf. That the super geniuses at the
Speaker 1: Federal Reserve don't just say, oh, okay, let's make the economy.
Speaker 1: Let's make the economy great again. It's not really that easy.
Speaker 1: So pumping pumping more liquidity into the market, there's tons
Speaker 1: of liquid liquidity already, that's not that's just doing something
Speaker 1: to do something which can have the unintended effect of
Speaker 1: making the federal government seem like it's grasping. It doesn't
Speaker 1: really have a good answer, So I don't think that
Speaker 1: that's going to be very helpful. Now, just one on
Speaker 1: one other debate that came up over the weekend, and
Speaker 1: we keep calling it coronavirus. That's imprecise, and the actual affliction,
Speaker 1: you know, it's this is a little bit like the
Speaker 1: distinction between HIV and AIDS. Right. HIV is the virus
Speaker 1: human human immunodeficiency virus that causes the autoimmune deficiency syndrome
Speaker 1: of AIDS. And you know, we have a strain of
Speaker 1: coronavirus causes COVID nineteen, which is what they're calling. That's
Speaker 1: the more official name for this. But to call it
Speaker 1: coronavirus doesn't really make sense because there's a lot of coronaviruses,
Speaker 1: and there have been a lot of coronaviruses in the past,
Speaker 1: and you know, SARS and MERS and these diferent outbreaks
Speaker 1: of upper respiratory infections caused by viruses stretching back. Not
Speaker 1: for a couple of decades we've been seeing this. So
Speaker 1: there's a movement out there to maybe just come up
Speaker 1: with a more descriptive, more specific name that people can
Speaker 1: use in common usage. And I saw people saying that
Speaker 1: this should maybe be called the Wuhan virus for Wuhan City.
Speaker 1: In the Wuhan city in China where this first showed
Speaker 1: up also happened to be very near the Special Virology
Speaker 1: Institute in Wuhan, which is the only place where they
Speaker 1: keep hundreds of live viruses for where we are told
Speaker 1: this is entirely coincidence. It perhaps is entirely coincidence. It's
Speaker 1: a big coincidence. But the Wuhan virus is something that
Speaker 1: has been making the rounds, and sure enough, the left
Speaker 1: jumped on this because virtue signaling is is the water
Speaker 1: in which the left swims right. Virtue signaling is everything
Speaker 1: to them. They started immediately. I mean Chris Hayes at MSNBC,
Speaker 1: who's just, I don't know, deeply unimpressive guy gets paid
Speaker 1: a lot of money to tell libs what they want
Speaker 1: to hear. But he he said that this was racist
Speaker 1: to call it Wuhan virus, and you're hearing the people, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's so racist. That's really interesting. And also, is there
Speaker 1: one of these moments where you get a reminder of
Speaker 1: how ignorant our media class that pretends to be so
Speaker 1: knowledgeable about everything all the time, pretend to have the answers,
Speaker 1: pretend to be smart, pretend to be well read. Wuhan
Speaker 1: calong that the Wuhan virus is racist? But is it
Speaker 1: racist to call it ebola because Ebola is named after
Speaker 1: a river in Central Africa where they first found the disease.
Speaker 1: Is it racist to call it West Nile virus because
Speaker 1: you know the Nile River that's actually where that came from.
Speaker 1: Is it racist to call it Zico, which I believe
Speaker 1: also originated in Africa, named for either a river or
Speaker 1: a region. Is it racist to call it lime disease
Speaker 1: literally named for lime Connecticut? Oh good heavens, not named
Speaker 1: after lime? Yeah, named after lime cant which I remember
Speaker 1: growing up with that that was a disease that had
Speaker 1: people really on edge. There were concerns that they wouldn't
Speaker 1: really they couldn't treat it very well, and that we
Speaker 1: were all getting in lime disease from ticks, from just
Speaker 1: walking around in the grass. I mean, people were we
Speaker 1: all forget this now, But in the nineties lime disease
Speaker 1: had a lot of people on edge less. So now
Speaker 1: it is still very serious disease if you get it.
Speaker 1: But so disease is are name a Spanish flu which
Speaker 1: doesn't really come from Spain, but Spain was one of
Speaker 1: the first places after the First World War that allowed
Speaker 1: coverage of it in the press, in the media, so
Speaker 1: it got called the Spanish flu. But again, this is
Speaker 1: just these are unserious people in the media that don't
Speaker 1: know anything they're not knowledgeable. They don't care to impart
Speaker 1: real wisdom or expertise to the public. It's all just like,
Speaker 1: look at me, look at me, I'm so great, I'm
Speaker 1: so smart all the time from these idiots. Calling it
Speaker 1: wuhan virus is not racist and to say that is
Speaker 1: parading one's own ignorance. But lots of libs over the
Speaker 1: weekend went into that, oh how dare you call it
Speaker 1: wuhan virus? Come up with a more creative name, like Ebola,
Speaker 1: named after the river in the Congo region of Africa. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's lives for you folks shaking their finger at you,
Speaker 1: yelling at you, calling your names, when really they're just
Speaker 1: showing how ignorant they are. You're in the Freedom Hut.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. The fact that
Speaker 1: he is not willing to cancel his various rallies suggests
Speaker 1: that he is willing to place even his most ardent
Speaker 1: supporters at risk because we're supposed to stay six feet
Speaker 1: away from other persons in order to mitigate the exchange
Speaker 1: of those viruses. I think that he is showing, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: why he is so ill prepared to guide our country
Speaker 1: during this time of crisis. Just nincom poopery from Democrat
Speaker 1: Congresswoman Spire Here, the six foot rule is about people
Speaker 1: who have the virus. Does anyone really think you're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to spend the next few months staying six
Speaker 1: feet away from all other human beings? Does anyone really
Speaker 1: think that that's an intelligent, worthwhile thing for anyone at
Speaker 1: this point to do as a as a rule, up
Speaker 1: can't get within six feet of you, No, no human
Speaker 1: beings within six feet and you know here we are.
Speaker 1: It's but see that the whole the whole premise here,
Speaker 1: It wasn't really to talk about what's whether it's safe
Speaker 1: for Trump at these rallies or to have these rallies.
Speaker 1: They're just desperate to find something to criticize Trump for,
Speaker 1: and they're using this moment when everyone right now we're
Speaker 1: a little more susceptible, a little more vulnerable to bad
Speaker 1: faith criticisms of whatever Trump is doing, and so they're
Speaker 1: trying to capitalize, trying to capitalize us out the edge says,
Speaker 1: you know, Trump is not up for this really, because
Speaker 1: Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders would be Bernie Sanders is
Speaker 1: an imbecile who doesn't understand how the world really works.
Speaker 1: He's just been, you know, shouting from the same sheet
Speaker 1: of Marxist music for last fifty years. Nothing ever changes
Speaker 1: with this guy, really, and you think he would do
Speaker 1: a really good job all of a sudden, the people
Speaker 1: that are yelling all the time about government healthcare, well
Speaker 1: we'll get into that in a moment. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to The Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on
Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio Apple or wherever you get your podcasts. Folks,
Speaker 1: why I'm nominated Democrat, a lifelong Democrat, a proud Democrat.
Speaker 1: Biden Obama Democrat, join us. That's about the most exciting
Speaker 1: thing that Joe Biden can come up with for why
Speaker 1: you should vote for him over Obama. Biden Democrat. Just
Speaker 1: he's trying to ride Obama's coattails now into the presidency.
Speaker 1: After keep in mind, Hillary Clinton got to elbow him
Speaker 1: out of the way the last time around, and now
Speaker 1: we're supposed to think that Joe Biden has become this
Speaker 1: really great candidate. Look, I there are only a few
Speaker 1: other individuals shows that I will ever listen to because
Speaker 1: I'm very busy working on my show and doing research
Speaker 1: for this and keeping producer Mark happy, which is a
Speaker 1: full time job. So you know, I gotta do things
Speaker 1: in here that require me to not focus on, not
Speaker 1: not be able to listen to what else is out
Speaker 1: there all that much on radio and on podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: doing my own thing. Joe Rogan is one of the
Speaker 1: few exceptions I will make if he has a really
Speaker 1: interesting guest, because I do think that Joe Rogan, even
Speaker 1: though he's a Bernie Sanders endorser, which I think shows
Speaker 1: a lack of understanding of politics. But nonetheless I still
Speaker 1: like Joe Rogan's interviews. He had this to say about
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. I just want to know this is this
Speaker 1: is a guy who's endorsed Bernie Sanders. It's not a
Speaker 1: Republican at all. Here's what he says about Obama, Obama Biden, Democrat,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Play clip two. Stop pause. He can't be president.
Speaker 1: Stop pause, pause, listen. We can't play any games here, folks.
Speaker 1: This is a really old man who can't talk. I
Speaker 1: think he goes on even more than that, but he's
Speaker 1: just saying we can do this like this. This guy
Speaker 1: does not seem like he's all there. This guy does
Speaker 1: not seem like he's somebody who could handle the physical
Speaker 1: and mental rigors of the job. And yet there's such
Speaker 1: a desperation from Democrats right now to have somebody other
Speaker 1: than Trump, because they just want someone who will restore
Speaker 1: their power and will will give them a Democrat voice
Speaker 1: at the bully pulpit of the Oval Office able to just,
Speaker 1: you know, spew the Democrat talking. What's they just they
Speaker 1: want that. They don't care who it is. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter anybody but Trump who's a Democrat will work for them.
Speaker 1: They were even playing footsie with the idea of it
Speaker 1: being a socialist a socialist Democrat. So it's not like
Speaker 1: I'm just coming up with this out of nowhere. There
Speaker 1: is a willingness to overlook extreme deficiencies in candidates as
Speaker 1: long as there's an opportunity to defeat Trump, whatever whatever
Speaker 1: that may be. I think that I'm not even sure
Speaker 1: if this was the SoundBite. It's tough to keep up
Speaker 1: on which bizarre Biden SoundBite is the one that people
Speaker 1: are noting. I think Rogan might have been referring to
Speaker 1: this one. He might have been referring to another one,
Speaker 1: but play this is the latest Joe Biden flub play
Speaker 1: one and turn turn his primary from a campaign that's
Speaker 1: about negative attacks into one about what we're four because
Speaker 1: we cannot get reelect. We cannot win this reelection. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: we can only reelect Donald Trump. We cannot win this reelection.
Speaker 1: We can only re elect Donald Trump. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: stopped to try to pick his words, and that's what
Speaker 1: he comes up with. You know, on the left, they
Speaker 1: make fun of Trump and they say that he's that
Speaker 1: he's got dementia, and they're very callous about that. I
Speaker 1: would know too. I mean, I I do try to
Speaker 1: be more more cautious, you know, being flippant about things
Speaker 1: like dementia. Me dementia is very sad, very serious, and
Speaker 1: a lot of people's loved ones will suffer from it.
Speaker 1: It's something that I wish we had better treatments for
Speaker 1: a better medication for Alzheimer's. Is something that I wish
Speaker 1: we could cure. And we don't even really have much
Speaker 1: of anything to be able to fight back against it
Speaker 1: at this point. So but when it was Trump, it
Speaker 1: was all, oh, he's he's got dementia. Ha ha, He's
Speaker 1: he's you know, fallen apart because he would say like
Speaker 1: too much. They said he sounded like a valley girl,
Speaker 1: or you know the way that his speech pattern would
Speaker 1: sort of just stop and gold like this, And I
Speaker 1: mean it sounds like a guy from It sounds like
Speaker 1: a guy from Queen's. I mean, I'm from here, so
Speaker 1: I know there's nothing about him. I've never heard Donald
Speaker 1: Trump speaking and say, yeah, it's like he's a guy
Speaker 1: who's lost in uh, you know, lost in a clinical
Speaker 1: medical sense, like he can't understand where he is or
Speaker 1: what's going on. We've all had I mean, am I
Speaker 1: I'm picking out Joe Rogan there for example? Is he
Speaker 1: seeing something that's not there? Is he just some some
Speaker 1: Trump bought. Now I know he ended endorsed Bernie Sanders,
Speaker 1: but his whole brand is that he tries to be
Speaker 1: a fair minded person about things. And I've seen him
Speaker 1: talk to conservatives and do so respectfully. It's not impossible
Speaker 1: to do. By the way, a lot of libs out
Speaker 1: there seem to think that you can't have a reasonable
Speaker 1: discussion with with an intelligent conservative on their media platforms,
Speaker 1: that it always has to be attack, destroy, get them.
Speaker 1: You know, they can actually just do an exchange of
Speaker 1: ideas and let everybody come away from it a little
Speaker 1: bit smarter, a little bit wiser, and you know, maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit more were in touch with one another.
Speaker 1: Biden is a mess, and I also can't help it.
Speaker 1: But note that Kamala Harris decided to endorse Biden because now,
Speaker 1: I mean now the estab and Biden is the establishment. Kennedy,
Speaker 1: he's the guy. Kamala Harris decided to endorse Biden over
Speaker 1: the weekend. But I remember what Kamala had to say
Speaker 1: about Biden when she was trying to beat him, and
Speaker 1: it seems a little bit self motivated doesn't refer to
Speaker 1: all of a sudden come out with this endorsement of
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Play A fifteen. It was hurtful to hear
Speaker 1: you talk about the reputations of two United States senators
Speaker 1: who built their reputations and career on the segregation of
Speaker 1: race in this country. And it was not only that,
Speaker 1: but you also work with them to a post busing.
Speaker 1: And you know, there was a little girl in California
Speaker 1: who was part of the second class to integrate her
Speaker 1: public schools, and she was bust to school every day.
Speaker 1: And that little girl was me. So I will tell
Speaker 1: you that on this subject, it cannot be an intellectual
Speaker 1: debate among Democrats. We have to take it seriously. We
Speaker 1: have to act swiftly. As Attorney General California, I was
Speaker 1: very proud to put in place a requirement that all
Speaker 1: my special agents would wear body cameras and keep those
Speaker 1: cameras on. She went from that, let's be clear, essentially
Speaker 1: saying that Joe Biden is like kind of a racist. Right,
Speaker 1: Why would he oppose busing for no good reason unless
Speaker 1: he was being a little bit of racist. Right. I've
Speaker 1: talked to you about how if you look at the
Speaker 1: history of bussing, it's much more complicated. If you look
Speaker 1: at how many kids who were busted hated it, didn't
Speaker 1: want it, their parents didn't want it, including a black children,
Speaker 1: White children didn't want it. Not all of them, but
Speaker 1: a lot of them. But politicians knew better, not a
Speaker 1: lot to have choice. Sorry, bigger social engineering to get through,
Speaker 1: bigger social justice agenda, to achieve at the expense of
Speaker 1: your kids, their future, their happiness, their day to day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter to Democrats. They've got a bigger idea, right,
Speaker 1: that's the reality of bussing. They never talk about this
Speaker 1: that always just act like it was this unmitigated victory
Speaker 1: for civil rights and nothing but good things come from it.
Speaker 1: But she went from that over the weekend to this
Speaker 1: play three. So I just wanted you guys to know,
Speaker 1: because you've been supporting me for so long, and I
Speaker 1: just wanted you guys to know. I have decided that
Speaker 1: I am, with great enthusiasm, going to endorse Silbiden for
Speaker 1: President of the United States. I believe in Joe. I
Speaker 1: really believe in him, and I've known him for a
Speaker 1: long time. One of the things that we need right
Speaker 1: now is we need a leader who really does care
Speaker 1: about the people and who can therefore unify the people,
Speaker 1: and I've leave Jill can do that. I am supporting
Speaker 1: Joe because I believe that he is a man who
Speaker 1: has lived his life with great dignity. He is as
Speaker 1: a public servant who has always worked for the best
Speaker 1: of who we are as a nation, and we need
Speaker 1: that right now. There is so much mistake in the selection, guys.
Speaker 1: He's always worked for what's best, except for being a
Speaker 1: racist about bussing? Right? What did I miss? How did
Speaker 1: that change so suddenly so quickly? Ah? Was it all?
Speaker 1: Just was that all just kind of a dirty, underhanded
Speaker 1: attack then meant in bad faith because Kamala thought, because
Speaker 1: the media told her that she had a big shot
Speaker 1: at the president, at the nomination and maybe the presidency,
Speaker 1: that whatever she had to do, she should do. It
Speaker 1: reminds me a little bit of what faces Elizabeth Warren
Speaker 1: right now. Hellorship of Wargs. I hope she stays around
Speaker 1: or so I can pretend to be her because she whatever,
Speaker 1: right would People are like, oh, you know, I know
Speaker 1: exactly who you're trying to do an impression of them.
Speaker 1: She was on SNL of the Weekend with with Kate
Speaker 1: Kate McKinnon. I thinks her name right, probably pretending to
Speaker 1: be her. You know, why why can't SNL just try
Speaker 1: to be funny? Why why does it have to be
Speaker 1: like the DNC sketch comedy show. It's it's just pathetic, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that's NBC and that's just what
Speaker 1: we all are supposed to expect. But you know that
Speaker 1: they they're not They're not doing any fun sketches like
Speaker 1: this with the Republicans anytime anytime lately, at least not
Speaker 1: that I've seen anyway. So Warren is uh, she's still
Speaker 1: waiting to see who she will endorse, and that's big
Speaker 1: because if she were to endorse Joe Biden, it would
Speaker 1: really be for anyone who's looking at this and assessing
Speaker 1: what's going on. If she endorses Joe Biden, it is
Speaker 1: clear that her entire campaign about standing up to Wall
Speaker 1: Street and caring about the working class and that was
Speaker 1: all just really a fraud, and it was all just here, well,
Speaker 1: whatever I have to say, whenever I have to say it.
Speaker 1: And so that's a possibility, But she knows if she
Speaker 1: wants to be in the cabinet or even just in
Speaker 1: really tight with the with the new administration. Administration is
Speaker 1: very powerful, a lot of jobs to give out to people,
Speaker 1: a lot of patrons, a lot of access, a lot
Speaker 1: of power. She wants to be on the good side
Speaker 1: of that. She's got to get on the get it
Speaker 1: on the Biden train now, probably right. So that's one option,
Speaker 1: or the other option would be to endorse Bernie Standers.
Speaker 1: Here's what the burn said about a play eleven. Can
Speaker 1: you win this nomination without the support of Elisabeth Warren? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I certainly would love to have the support of set
Speaker 1: of the Warren but yes, of course we can. We
Speaker 1: can win this because we are going to win the
Speaker 1: support of working people all over this country who agree
Speaker 1: with our agenda that, among many other things, the time
Speaker 1: is long overdue to recognize that healthcare is a human
Speaker 1: right in this country, not a privilege. We must fasst
Speaker 1: the Medicare for All single player program. Now, this is
Speaker 1: what I meant, I meant to get to this before,
Speaker 1: before we had a transition between segments there. First off,
Speaker 1: I mean Bernie saying, you know, we can we could
Speaker 1: win with thought warden, but we won't put support. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, not not a surprise, but Medicare for all.
Speaker 1: Healthcare is a human right. We're seeing this experiment now
Speaker 1: play out in a sense, in a way that we
Speaker 1: should all pay attention to. It is the position of
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders that if only there was legislation that said,
Speaker 1: if only the law in this country said that you
Speaker 1: have a right to go into any medical facility that
Speaker 1: you choose and to be treated and it'll cost nothing.
Speaker 1: If only that law existed, we would be in much
Speaker 1: better shape right now, not just as a country in general,
Speaker 1: but in better shape with the coronavirus epidemic spreading that
Speaker 1: nors reality. You see what's happening in Italy where they've
Speaker 1: had a really bad, really bad breakout. That is now.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know the numbers off hand, but
Speaker 1: it's you know, you've got thousands infected. I think a
Speaker 1: few hundred have died, and it's it's still spreading, still
Speaker 1: getting worse, and there are all for a lot of
Speaker 1: the people that are getting infected, there are concerns about
Speaker 1: how long they'll have to be assisted assisted in their breathing.
Speaker 1: What ends up happening is your lungs. When you get this,
Speaker 1: it's an upper respiratory infection. Your lungs cease being able
Speaker 1: to function, and so you need a respirator. You actually
Speaker 1: need help breathing. And that also prevents because if your
Speaker 1: lungs become overtaxed, there can be other organ failure that occurs.
Speaker 1: I think liver failure can happen, and so they're trying
Speaker 1: to keep all your organs going as your body tries
Speaker 1: to fight off the disease. If you're elderly, this is
Speaker 1: the big concern is that your body just becomes overwhelmed
Speaker 1: by this and you you're already weakened immune system is
Speaker 1: not enough to fight it off, and then you have
Speaker 1: organ failure and you die. Pneumonia is a big, big
Speaker 1: concern as well. But this is you're seeing an analysis,
Speaker 1: that analysis right now that'll make the rounds. There's lots
Speaker 1: of them on how if this gets as bad as
Speaker 1: some people are saying. And that's what I want to
Speaker 1: walk you through. And let's say that it gets to
Speaker 1: the point in Italy, we'll say it. We'll keep in
Speaker 1: Italy where they have, you know, fifty thousand confirmed cases,
Speaker 1: and of that fifty thousand confirmed cases, they've got ten
Speaker 1: thousand people who aren't dying from it but need serious
Speaker 1: medical care, like need to be in What happens when
Speaker 1: they don't have enough hospital beds, What happens when they
Speaker 1: don't have enough respirators, What happens when they don't have
Speaker 1: enough doctors and nurses to attend to those individuals. That's
Speaker 1: the fear. Do you know what universal medical care does
Speaker 1: for that? In the sense that you know the law
Speaker 1: that says everyone must get cary you it does nothing.
Speaker 1: You go to a hospital and say, hey, the law
Speaker 1: says that I have to be treated, and I'm worried
Speaker 1: that I've got you know, coronavirus, like I can't really breathe.
Speaker 1: You know that they're gonna put you on a COT
Speaker 1: somewhere and they're gonna get you what they can get
Speaker 1: you when they can get it for you. Who are
Speaker 1: you going to complain to? Where else are you gonna go? Nowhere?
Speaker 1: The government's the only checkbook on this issue, right, That's
Speaker 1: what we've been told is the best thing. Who are
Speaker 1: you gonna go say? Hey, hold on a second, I'm
Speaker 1: really worried. I need I need more help than I'm getting.
Speaker 1: When the doctor comes in and says, sorry, we don't
Speaker 1: we don't have a bed for you in the ICU,
Speaker 1: but you know, we can keep you out here in
Speaker 1: this waiting room in the hallway and we'll put you
Speaker 1: on an iv if we have enough ivs, and we'll
Speaker 1: try to get you a respirator if and when your
Speaker 1: lungs start to fail. But that's what we got. And
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm not blaming the doctor. That's just
Speaker 1: the doctor saying, look, this is what we got. Do
Speaker 1: you think there's some law that Bernie Sanders would want
Speaker 1: to be the case where you could walk in and
Speaker 1: demand medical characters that see they don't understand that's apply
Speaker 1: and demand exists whether they want it to or not.
Speaker 1: This is this is one of the fundamental failures of Marxism,
Speaker 1: which is what Bernie Sanders is a Marxist that and
Speaker 1: I keeping people say, oh, wouldn't it be better if
Speaker 1: we all have the universal medical care? No, because right now,
Speaker 1: which you really want are people having to make very
Speaker 1: clear determinations or whether or not they should go to
Speaker 1: the hospital. And part of that is, in fact, the
Speaker 1: the cost, you know, I mean, and I went to
Speaker 1: the er for you know, for what I thought was
Speaker 1: basically flew once and excited a fever and everything. It's
Speaker 1: like a thousand dollars to just sit there in the way.
Speaker 1: I didn't even get treated, To just sit there in
Speaker 1: the waiting room and have them take my vitals, tell
Speaker 1: me my blood pressure was fine. Now it's in the
Speaker 1: waiting room for six hours. Thousand bucks. Guess what. I'm
Speaker 1: not going back to the hospital unless things are really bad.
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders thinks that if we had the government writing
Speaker 1: checks for everybody, that would make it better. When the
Speaker 1: situation is overwhelming the supply of medical care, that's the
Speaker 1: real concern. And well, what government's gonna do. You're gonna
Speaker 1: just manufacture more doctors, just just have more nurses. Appear
Speaker 1: like off an assembly line. Oh, we think the government's
Speaker 1: really good at training the best nurses. The government's really
Speaker 1: good at creating doctors. No, the market creates these things,
Speaker 1: the employment sector and the different tools that are needed
Speaker 1: to make these hospitals able to have the facilities necessary
Speaker 1: to treat people. That's all. This is all. There's market
Speaker 1: forces with all of this. Bernie Sanders makes it sound
Speaker 1: like if only the government is running the checks would
Speaker 1: all be fine. That's because Bernie Sanders doesn't know what
Speaker 1: the heck he's talking about. You're in the Freedom Hud.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I think that
Speaker 1: we are at a tough point right now because there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people who are concerned about Joe Biden's
Speaker 1: ability to carry the ball all the way across the
Speaker 1: end line without fumbling, and I think that Castro has
Speaker 1: some really legitimate concerns about it. Can he be someone
Speaker 1: in a long, grueling campaign that can get the ball
Speaker 1: over the line. But there are definitely moments. Will you
Speaker 1: listen to Joe Biden and you had just wondered you
Speaker 1: just wonder? Is right? Corey Booker's telling us what we
Speaker 1: already know. This is the guy Democrats are running around
Speaker 1: talking about how Trump is incompetent. People are dying in
Speaker 1: this country because of Trump's incompetence around coronavirus, and the
Speaker 1: alternative they offer is Bernie Sanders. That's their serious position. Absurd,
Speaker 1: completely absurd, and also we do have to deal with
Speaker 1: this problem. The three most likely candidates to be president
Speaker 1: going forward are all people in the highest age cohort
Speaker 1: of risk category for this virus. What does that mean?
Speaker 1: What should we think is going to happen here? Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening to the bus Essence Show podcasts. Remember to
Speaker 1: subscribe on Apple podcast, if the iHeartRadio app, or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. If Bernie Sanders is the Democratic nominee,
Speaker 1: will you campaign for him? I will support the nominee
Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party, But when you campaign for him,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he would ask me to campaign
Speaker 1: for him for reds because I have no idea what
Speaker 1: he is thinking about for a general election campaign. As
Speaker 1: I've said many times, I do not think he's our
Speaker 1: strongest nominee against Donald Trump. He's got an endorsement of
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. I'm not endorsing there's nobody left. Well, I
Speaker 1: guess that's true. There isn't anybody left. So Hillary's kind
Speaker 1: of like, yeah, I'll do what the party needs you
Speaker 1: me to do. But I don't think any is candidates
Speaker 1: is that great. I got a better candidate in mind.
Speaker 1: Not going to name her right now. Hello, not gonna
Speaker 1: name her, but she's out there. She's out there. Here's
Speaker 1: something that we have to discuss. You know, they're the
Speaker 1: calls the media are for less public gatherings. You know
Speaker 1: they have had journalists asked Trump. Don't you think you
Speaker 1: shouldn't have these rallies. I haven't heard now when I
Speaker 1: say this, maybe they haven't asked this too. I haven't
Speaker 1: heard anyone asked Joe Biden or or Bernie Sanders. That
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders had a heart attack like what six months
Speaker 1: ago and he's basically eighty and they're not asking him,
Speaker 1: but they're asking Trump. This is a real concern, and
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone's really thought this one through.
Speaker 1: But you have Trump, Biden, Bernie, they are all people
Speaker 1: who are in the highest risk cohort in terms of
Speaker 1: their age, and in the case of Bernie Sanders, also
Speaker 1: complicating health conditions. When you've just had a heart attack
Speaker 1: and oh, Bernie Sanders mind, you would not release his
Speaker 1: full medical history recently he said no, no no, no, muckna
Speaker 1: done it. I said it was put him muff. But
Speaker 1: don't worry. Why should we not worry? I mean, wouldn't
Speaker 1: anybody be worried about this? Does this mean that they're
Speaker 1: not going to have these rallies? I mean, we do
Speaker 1: have to take seriously the possible ability that you might
Speaker 1: have a one of the candidates for president fall ill
Speaker 1: with this, and it wouldn't be something that we could
Speaker 1: just say, oh, well, you know, he'll be fine in
Speaker 1: a week. These candidates are out there doing things. You know,
Speaker 1: Sepack released and this is all out there now. You know, Sepack,
Speaker 1: let U be known that they have They had somebody
Speaker 1: at Seapack who had has trusted positive for coronavirus. I
Speaker 1: don't know who the person is, and I don't think
Speaker 1: it really I wasn't there, so it doesn't doesn't matter
Speaker 1: to know the specific name at this point. But Ted
Speaker 1: Cruz Senator Ted Cruz has decided to voluntarily quarantine himself
Speaker 1: there are others. I believe match schlap is ahead of
Speaker 1: the American Conservative Union that puts on seaback. He has
Speaker 1: voluntarily quarantined himself. There are others who are staying with
Speaker 1: a voluntary fourteen day quarantine just to be on the
Speaker 1: safe side. And you know that was at sea pack
Speaker 1: where you have a lot of people. Seapack is for
Speaker 1: those who haven't been. I mean I've been in the past.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of you know, handshaking, chatting, pressing the palms,
Speaker 1: talking to folks. It's kind of like a big political
Speaker 1: rally in that sense. Well, Trump and Bernie and Biden
Speaker 1: are going to be doing rally after rally after rally
Speaker 1: after rally, talking to people, shaking hands, getting close to them,
Speaker 1: and Trumps said, look, I'm going to do this, you know, regardless,
Speaker 1: very important that anybody who's going to be in that
Speaker 1: case or in that situation is keeping their immunity at
Speaker 1: the strongest level possible. It means you know, what are
Speaker 1: you eating, how much sleep are you getting, are you
Speaker 1: hydrating enough? And another part of this is how much
Speaker 1: stress are you putting yourself under? Stress is very bad
Speaker 1: for your immune system. And I know that sounds very
Speaker 1: kind of new ag Like I'm sitting here doing a
Speaker 1: show where we should have wind chimes in the background
Speaker 1: and a bunch of you know, Buddha statues or something,
Speaker 1: and everyone's talking about enlightenment. But no. Stress is very
Speaker 1: bad for your immune system, and being on the campaign
Speaker 1: trail is a clearly very stressful, very taxing thing. You know,
Speaker 1: what are the chances that all these three individuals trump
Speaker 1: Bernie Maiden, shaking hands with people, going out to all
Speaker 1: these rallies, one of them may can track coronavirus over
Speaker 1: the next in the next nine months. Remember it may
Speaker 1: fade now. But if you look at and I don't
Speaker 1: like pointing out the Spanish flu up that was nineteen eighteen.
Speaker 1: We didn't have any biotics, we had a much less
Speaker 1: developed public health system, much less ability to communicate with
Speaker 1: different places about where there were outbreaks and what resources
Speaker 1: were needed. And there's a whole different situation going on.
Speaker 1: But if you look at just the spread, the initial
Speaker 1: spread of Spanish flu and then the worst spike in depths.
Speaker 1: The spike in debths occurred in the fall of twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: I mean, the initial disease popped up. I think in
Speaker 1: February March of twenty eighteen, but it was in the
Speaker 1: fall at the end of that year that you had
Speaker 1: this huge explosion of infections and debts. So there is
Speaker 1: a very high likelihood that there will at least be
Speaker 1: another round of this, that there will be a surge
Speaker 1: again in infections and in possible possible deaths from this.
Speaker 1: Right in the height of the campaign season. What are
Speaker 1: the candidates going to do? Are you gonna stay home?
Speaker 1: They don not have rallies. I just don't think that
Speaker 1: that's realistic. But this is you know, I will say
Speaker 1: I actively pray for the health and continued fitness of anybody,
Speaker 1: you know, any of my fellow Americans, anyone around the world,
Speaker 1: though they pray for the whole world might be you know, well,
Speaker 1: I guess we can do that. So, but specifically we're
Speaker 1: talking about the candidates for the presidency. I want you
Speaker 1: a Biden, I want Bernie Sanders, and certainly I want
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to be as healthy as possible, live as
Speaker 1: long as humanly possible, and you know, God forbid any
Speaker 1: of them come down with coronavirus. That's said, I do
Speaker 1: think this has to be considered as a as a
Speaker 1: real possibility. Think about the This could change history, my friends,
Speaker 1: is really what we're getting into here. If one of
Speaker 1: these candidates ends up getting coronavirus um, that will change
Speaker 1: the whole the whole nature of the race, won't it.
Speaker 1: I mean, that will change the twenty twenty presidential election
Speaker 1: very possibly. I should maybe they get it and it's
Speaker 1: a week and they're sick, and then they're fine, and
Speaker 1: then they move forward. You know, that's also possible too.
Speaker 1: But this is this is now getting to a place
Speaker 1: where we can't we can't ignore that especially. You know,
Speaker 1: our political class is very much the top of our
Speaker 1: political class is composed of a lot of people that
Speaker 1: are are up there in terms of age, and are
Speaker 1: the ones that are they're in the most of you know,
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Donald Trump, Joe Biden. I mean
Speaker 1: you look at the Bernie Sanders. I mean, just go
Speaker 1: through the litter, Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton, all these different
Speaker 1: big political names. They're people who are in their seventies
Speaker 1: and some of them are pushing eighty. So they're in
Speaker 1: this high risk categories. Does that mean that they aren't
Speaker 1: going to continue to do what they have scheduled politically,
Speaker 1: are they you know, what message would that send to
Speaker 1: the public. I don't have answers on this other than
Speaker 1: just to say that needs to be thought about a
Speaker 1: little bit. Should they really be out there shaking hand?
Speaker 1: Should they really be out there? You know, just heaven
Speaker 1: forbid that moment when someone at a presidential at a rally,
Speaker 1: you know, some guy in the crowd, maybe he's just
Speaker 1: got allergies, like coughs on Joe Biden or something as
Speaker 1: he walks by. I mean, people are gonna lose their minds.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm taking the subway in New York all
Speaker 1: the time, which is one of the worst things you
Speaker 1: can probably do. I'm exposed to. You know people, millions
Speaker 1: and millions of people take the subway every day from
Speaker 1: all over the world. And this is just the reality
Speaker 1: of my life. But in terms of the transmission, transmission possibilities,
Speaker 1: the subway is a really bad place to be. Now.
Speaker 1: They're scrubbing it down and everything else, As if that's
Speaker 1: going to make a big difference. I don't think it is.
Speaker 1: There's only so much you can do, though. There's only
Speaker 1: so much you can do. So as much as I
Speaker 1: like to counsel. You know, stiff upper lip, keep calm
Speaker 1: and carry on all that stuff. There's there's some stuff
Speaker 1: here that could really shake up. Shake up not just
Speaker 1: American politics, shakeup history of this country. If this continues,
Speaker 1: you're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Well, this is kind of a surprise. New
Speaker 1: York State is now producing its own hand sanitizer, NYS Clean.
Speaker 1: Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced the product as a response
Speaker 1: to price gouging on hand sanitizer amid coronavirus fears, and
Speaker 1: it is made by New York prisoners in the Department
Speaker 1: of Corrections of New York State system. Around one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand gallons a day of the product is due to
Speaker 1: be distributed to places like schools, not for profits and
Speaker 1: other government agencies amid surging numbers of chrom novel coronavirus cases.
Speaker 1: There's a rush on hand sanitizers. Stock is hugely inflating
Speaker 1: product prices. Last week a hardware storm in Handan was
Speaker 1: fine for hiking prices on products like hand sanitizer and
Speaker 1: antibacterial wipes. We are problem solvers, Cuomo said on Monday.
Speaker 1: And there's price gouging on hand what do you do
Speaker 1: make your own hand sanitizer. Oh yeah, let's see how
Speaker 1: this goes here. We got government deciding to create its
Speaker 1: own product line for a hand sanitizer. From what I understand,
Speaker 1: hand sanitizer isn't really as effective a tool in this
Speaker 1: fight as a lot of people would like to believe
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, I'm sure it's better than nothing,
Speaker 1: but remember, yeah, if you touch something and then touch
Speaker 1: your mouth or touch your eyes your nose, you can
Speaker 1: get coronavirus or influenza standard influenza, of course, But keep
Speaker 1: in mind, if you walk into a room, aerosol eyes
Speaker 1: droplets can stay in the air for about ten minutes,
Speaker 1: and if someone sneezes, there's like an eight foot spray
Speaker 1: of aerosol eyes droplets. Six to eight feet, I think
Speaker 1: is what people estimate. Depends on how hard you sneeze,
Speaker 1: and that just means you walk in, you breathe that in,
Speaker 1: or any of that mist gets into your eyes or
Speaker 1: your nasal nasal passageway, you got coronavirus. Now right, That's
Speaker 1: that's how this actually works. So the hand sanitizer things nice.
Speaker 1: Every time I read some reminder don't touch your face,
Speaker 1: it just reminds me that fifteen seconds before I read that,
Speaker 1: I touched my face. I don't know. I'm not good
Speaker 1: at not touching. You know, maybe I need to shave
Speaker 1: my beard. I don't know. It's probably a beard is
Speaker 1: probably not good for epidemiological reasons. But can't can't bail
Speaker 1: on the beard at this point. Also, this this came
Speaker 1: out at eight. So I was at I was at
Speaker 1: church yesterday right near right in sort of lower midtown Manhattan,
Speaker 1: and I was thinking about this, and I have feeling
Speaker 1: because you know, at the end, everyone gets called up
Speaker 1: for everyone gets called up for a communion, and I
Speaker 1: was thinking about how well the priest said. He said, look,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put the host in your mouth. I'm
Speaker 1: going to put it in your hand, and you put
Speaker 1: it in your mouth. We're not doing the I put
Speaker 1: it directly into your mouth, which but I've never been
Speaker 1: somebody that wanted the priest. But I don't want anyone's
Speaker 1: fingers in my mouth. I mean, I don't know what
Speaker 1: else said. I don't like that. So he said that's
Speaker 1: what they're doing. Well, now we got a problem because
Speaker 1: in DC, and I know this church in DC, a
Speaker 1: priest has coronavirus confirmed. He offered communion and shook hands
Speaker 1: with more than five hundred worshippers last week and the
Speaker 1: week of February twenty fourth, all worshippers who visited the
Speaker 1: Christ Church in Georgetown, d c. Must self quarantine, self quarantine,
Speaker 1: and church is canceled for the first time since the
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds, you know, producer Mark, I gotta say one
Speaker 1: thing I've always I've always been opposed to the little cup.
Speaker 1: You know, the chalice with the blood of Christ. Did it?
Speaker 1: You know, a good Catholic boy, they know all this stuff.
Speaker 1: The point I'm making is that they take the little
Speaker 1: little little like napkin and they wipe it. M not
Speaker 1: good enough for me, sorry, especially now, but that's never
Speaker 1: been good enough for me. Like I don't want a cold,
Speaker 1: I don't want cold sores. I don't want any of
Speaker 1: that stuff. And everyone drinking from the same cup. Would
Speaker 1: you ever do that? And you're not in a million years,
Speaker 1: not a million years. And this is what I've seen
Speaker 1: people do this all the time. The wind and the
Speaker 1: priest does this little like like wipes the slobber off.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I know enough about back bacteria. Two wipes
Speaker 1: this salive off. I should say we did the bacteria
Speaker 1: to know that that does not actually do anything. Really,
Speaker 1: I won't even use a public toilet, definitely wouldn't use
Speaker 1: a public cup. Yeah, so there's gonna be some changes
Speaker 1: in churches for sure. Uh, you know, church attendants is
Speaker 1: about to go down. I feel bad, but that's what's
Speaker 1: gonna end up happening. When I was in church yesterday,
Speaker 1: and you know, for whatever reason, there's always I think
Speaker 1: it's because you're you're in a church. There's the cavernous
Speaker 1: nature of most churches here in New York. I mean,
Speaker 1: some churches are a lot smaller other parts of the country,
Speaker 1: but most of the Catholic churches you go do here
Speaker 1: almost feel they Some are cathedrals, but a lot of
Speaker 1: them feel like cathedrals. They're very spacious on the inside,
Speaker 1: but you can always hear someone coughing somewhere, and like,
Speaker 1: nobody really wants to be in church right now where
Speaker 1: there's anybody anybody who's coughing loudly, that's not that is
Speaker 1: not something that goes over well with the people around you.
Speaker 1: So that just means I think you're gonna more people
Speaker 1: stand home from Church. I don't know what it's going
Speaker 1: to take for everyone to calm down about this a
Speaker 1: little bit. I just think that the media has managed
Speaker 1: to get everybody in this mood right now. We're all worried.
Speaker 1: There's all this panic buying of hand sanitizer and masks,
Speaker 1: the stock markets getting crushed. This is the worst look.
Speaker 1: This is the worst most down period of the Trump
Speaker 1: presidency so far, and it's really the scariest the country
Speaker 1: has felt since the two thousand and eight two thousand
Speaker 1: and nine financial crash. I will note that that was
Speaker 1: a systemic financial issue that a lot of people said
Speaker 1: did threaten the very the very foundation of the global
Speaker 1: financial system, and they can explain why that is. It's
Speaker 1: not just a theory. I mean, there were some real
Speaker 1: concerns that there would be uh, there'll be collapse of
Speaker 1: credit markets. And with collapse of credit markets, guess what,
Speaker 1: no bread on the shelves, no milk in the store
Speaker 1: kind of thing. This is not nearly as this is
Speaker 1: not nearly as financially bad as that was, and I
Speaker 1: don't think it should be. But if people keep keep
Speaker 1: doing this, keep going to these extremes thinking that they
Speaker 1: have to cancel all these different events. They can't go out,
Speaker 1: they can't do things, and a lot of I was
Speaker 1: with a friend over the weekend and she was telling
Speaker 1: me that there was self quarantining going on now in
Speaker 1: her office. I mean, people are just saying, hey, I
Speaker 1: want to work from home. Bruce and Mark, we are
Speaker 1: soldiers for freedom in America. Yeah, that's what I thought. No,
Speaker 1: we come into work, all right, We come in here
Speaker 1: to the hut until I figure out how I can
Speaker 1: do this show with video remotely, then we can stay home.
Speaker 1: We're more than six feet apart. That's yeah. Plus, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't sneeze. I think it's been a long time.
Speaker 1: So look at the Oh the other thing I might
Speaker 1: mentioned before, it's so New York State has its own
Speaker 1: its own hand sanitizer. But there's also advice from Governor Cuomo,
Speaker 1: and I just had to laugh about this one. He's
Speaker 1: come up with this idea of New York Clean, New
Speaker 1: York State clean, or whatever. So okay. He also has
Speaker 1: said that if a quote, subway, car or bus is crowded,
Speaker 1: try to take the next one and avoid densely packed places.
Speaker 1: You will be waiting for a subway that is not
Speaker 1: densely packed during you know, the times when you need
Speaker 1: the subway forever. Yeah, this is not advice. This is absurd.
Speaker 1: And even in the middle of the night, if you're
Speaker 1: trying to write the subway, it's packed because there's only
Speaker 1: one train every twenty minutes, right, so that they'll never happen, right,
Speaker 1: this is this is crazy, but this is where it is.
Speaker 1: We're being told avoid crowded subway trains when every subway
Speaker 1: train in New York is crowded, Avoid public places when
Speaker 1: people need to work, people need to do stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: life does have to go on. How long would we
Speaker 1: think about this way if our real plan here is
Speaker 1: to stop living our lives and to retreat into these
Speaker 1: these bubbles of pre pre quarantine quarantine, Right, there's no
Speaker 1: reason to think you've been exposed, but you're just going
Speaker 1: to segment yourself off from from the rest of the population.
Speaker 1: When we stop doing that, because there can be an
Speaker 1: outbreak of list at any point in time, when when
Speaker 1: do we decide that it's safe. Do we just all
Speaker 1: of a sudden allow this to collapse civilization? I mean,
Speaker 1: I know that's extreme, it's crazy, but that's what it
Speaker 1: feels like. People are starting to think in their heads
Speaker 1: is what's going to happen, and that's that's absurd. I mean,
Speaker 1: we made it through, not only make it through the
Speaker 1: Spanish flu, which did kill about fifty million people globally,
Speaker 1: but the Spanish flu, and then afterwards you had something
Speaker 1: called the nine twenties people for he as a roaring twenties.
Speaker 1: We recovered, you know, we got past it. You know,
Speaker 1: people got it. They then were immune to it afterwards,
Speaker 1: and then we move forward, right, We're going to get
Speaker 1: through this. The panic is not helpful. Thanks for listening

Speaker 1: One thing I've learned in life is that you can
Speaker 1: tell a lot about a person by how they treat
Speaker 1: other people when they're under stress. So it's a good
Speaker 1: way to figure out who you're really dealing with. Pay
Speaker 1: attention when someone's in a bad mood, had a bad day.
Speaker 1: How do they treat people, not just people they know? Well,
Speaker 1: how do they treat strangers people they come across? Do
Speaker 1: they lash out? Do they act out? I also have
Speaker 1: a version of this for if you play sports or
Speaker 1: you know, compete with somebody in a friendly way. I mean,
Speaker 1: I used to play a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: tennis with different people here in New York. And there
Speaker 1: are the people who when they're losing, lose gracefully and
Speaker 1: are still even if they're frustrated they're losing, they still
Speaker 1: enjoy themselves and act with a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of class and good sportsmanship. And other people that are
Speaker 1: total maniacs. I've played tennis with people that some of
Speaker 1: you would actually know if I were to name them,
Speaker 1: who are well known individuals who when they start losing,
Speaker 1: they are total maniacs, and it tells you a lot
Speaker 1: about how they really are in life. We've all had this.
Speaker 1: You know. The airlines right now are getting just shellacked.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a rough rough time to be any
Speaker 1: of the really any airline anywhere. I mean, they're just
Speaker 1: people who don't want to get on the only thing
Speaker 1: worse than being on a plane right now. And I
Speaker 1: just flew to la for you know, I spent twelve
Speaker 1: hours on flights what was it a couple weeks ago.
Speaker 1: But the only thing worse than being on a plane
Speaker 1: right now for most people is being on a cruise ship.
Speaker 1: And the only thing worse than being on a cruise
Speaker 1: ship is, I don't know, being stuck in like solitary
Speaker 1: confinement in a maximum security prison or something like a
Speaker 1: cruise ship sounds horrible. I don't know. I'm sorry, cruise
Speaker 1: ship is not. I've never been a cruise person, and
Speaker 1: this is one of these moments where I sit around
Speaker 1: saying I'm not about to become one anytime soon. So
Speaker 1: when I went off the boat, I went off the boat.
Speaker 1: That's always my rule. So I'll go on the ocean,
Speaker 1: I'll go on a lake, I'll go on a pond,
Speaker 1: I'll go on a river. But I have to be
Speaker 1: able to say, you know what, I've had enough. I'm done,
Speaker 1: and I don't ever want to be told. You know,
Speaker 1: our mate there, we're seven hours from land, and we
Speaker 1: got a two thousand other people enjoying their pinochle and
Speaker 1: shuffle board while you're pitching over the side with your
Speaker 1: green gills er and they don't they don't have pirates on.
Speaker 1: What do you think of cruise ship? Cruise ships? I
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I feel like they like the captain probably,
Speaker 1: you know, none of that that happened has like a
Speaker 1: little parrot, a little a little earring and no, none
Speaker 1: of that. Mark probably want to know they have like
Speaker 1: broadway shows and bars. Yeah all right, all right, So
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know that much about cruise ships, but
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to say I want to be able
Speaker 1: to get off and go to land. I don't want
Speaker 1: to be told old land is far away. Suck it up.
Speaker 1: Put one of those little things on your wrist that's
Speaker 1: supposed to deal with seasickness. When I'm tossing my cookies.
Speaker 1: I don't want anyone giving me some little thing that's
Speaker 1: supposed to like press on my wrist to make it
Speaker 1: all bet or like, oh put it m I don't
Speaker 1: believe those things get sick. Oh yeah, this wouldn't be
Speaker 1: good for you. Yeah, well that's why that's of course,
Speaker 1: this is why this is like my worst nightmare. The
Speaker 1: first time I went, I got seasick for like two minutes.
Speaker 1: When I finally realized the boat was moving, then it
Speaker 1: was fun. Okay, well that's not that bad. So look,
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like you have enough pina coladas
Speaker 1: and get some sun. Anything can be fun. So there's
Speaker 1: I had plenty of peanut clada. They're delicious. Not a
Speaker 1: health food, but delicious. So here's here's what I got
Speaker 1: for you. Though. On on well flying, as I said,
Speaker 1: no one wants to No one wants to fly these days.
Speaker 1: But we've all had that extreme frustration. I mean, airlines.
Speaker 1: I've always said, give you the closest thing as an
Speaker 1: American living in our current era, airlines give you the clothes,
Speaker 1: this thing to what it would feel like to be
Speaker 1: dealing in a dealing with a business in a totalitarian state,
Speaker 1: right because they just got you got nothing. They own.
Speaker 1: They own you like they want to keep you on
Speaker 1: on the tarmac for a couple of hours. It's like
Speaker 1: they're kidnapping you. And then you know they don't know
Speaker 1: if they can take off. Uh sorry, you know they
Speaker 1: they love to do this. In an era of instantaneous communication,
Speaker 1: airlines will tell you, hey, so the plane is taken off,
Speaker 1: it'll be here in thirty minutes, and then thirty minutes
Speaker 1: to go by, and you'll be like, oh no, actually
Speaker 1: it hasn't taken off and it might be a three
Speaker 1: hour delay. Sorry, does that ruin your whole weekend? Whoops?
Speaker 1: Too bad? Suck it up. That's basically what a lot
Speaker 1: of us have dealt with airline. I've dealt with it.
Speaker 1: I've I've had my mind. One of my worst airline
Speaker 1: stories was actually coming from Boston to New York, where
Speaker 1: they kept pushing off and doing the two hour. There
Speaker 1: were some thunderstorms. They kept thinking they were going to
Speaker 1: take off in a lull in the thunderstorm, because it's
Speaker 1: about a thirty minute flight max or something from Boston
Speaker 1: to New York once you get airborne, and uh, nope, nope, nope,
Speaker 1: we we kept pushing off and coming back pushing off.
Speaker 1: I had an eight am flight from Boston New York.
Speaker 1: I almost missed my six pm radio show. All right,
Speaker 1: so that gives you I had ten hours for a
Speaker 1: thirty minute flight, and I had to bail the last
Speaker 1: minute and run and find an affiliate station in Boston.
Speaker 1: Began the airline that they feel they feel bad about it. Now.
Speaker 1: Did I get some like, hey, you get the fry
Speaker 1: fry fly free somewhere. Nope, none of that stuff. So
Speaker 1: I understand frustration with airlines, and I also understand that
Speaker 1: there does seem to be an inexcusable h trend in
Speaker 1: airlines where they just you pay to be less punished.
Speaker 1: It's one of the few businesses where instead of things
Speaker 1: get like your iPhone is getting smarter, faster, better, you
Speaker 1: know more, you know, longer, battery, easier to carry everything. Right,
Speaker 1: other other consumer industries, consumer products get better and better
Speaker 1: and better all the time. Airlines get worse somehow. See's
Speaker 1: are smaller or less comfortable, and there's like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: had the little tamement system in the back of the seats,
Speaker 1: so there's some improvements, but you know that they end
Speaker 1: they have to pay for bags. I thought that was
Speaker 1: just supposed to be after like nine to eleven as
Speaker 1: an emergency measure for the airlines. Oh, they just decided
Speaker 1: to keep it right. So they're always just trying to
Speaker 1: extract as much me as possible. I got plenty of problems,
Speaker 1: plenty of beef with airlines. Can we just have an
Speaker 1: airline that comes out that's like we're gonna like, all
Speaker 1: the seats are gonna be reasonably comfortable. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a little bit more expensive, it's not business class seats,
Speaker 1: but you know, all the seats will be reasonably comfortable
Speaker 1: and everything. There'll be enough room for your knees you're
Speaker 1: not in the chair in front of you. Nope, can't
Speaker 1: have that. Have to have like Sylvie Union Airlines United.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I understand the frustrations. I also know that
Speaker 1: as somebody in public life, you always have to hold
Speaker 1: back from going completely berserk on one because you should
Speaker 1: just be a nice person. Two because very rarely do
Speaker 1: you have access to the person who is actually making
Speaker 1: the decisions or messing things up that are ruining your day.
Speaker 1: So you're just yelling at somebody who works for a
Speaker 1: huge company that doesn't get to do anything about it
Speaker 1: to make anything better. You're just being mean to somebody
Speaker 1: basically ruining their day. And then also it's usually brand
Speaker 1: damaging to look like a huge jerk. But Jank of
Speaker 1: the young Turks, Jank, the jerk just got crushed in
Speaker 1: this congressional primary. Fifth Place I Think out in California
Speaker 1: and is well known for hiring and promoting some of
Speaker 1: the worst people on the Internet to spew their woke
Speaker 1: Marxist garbage. They're just ignorant Marxist bile all over the interwebs.
Speaker 1: But young stupid leftists who come out of college and
Speaker 1: don't know anything, they're Look, yeah, these people are like revolutionaries. Man,
Speaker 1: they're smart anyway, Jenk, this is not you know, I
Speaker 1: always think that you gotta be You gotta approach your
Speaker 1: life now if you if you're in public life, you've
Speaker 1: got to approach your life as there's always the possibility
Speaker 1: that somebody is taping what you're doing. And I have
Speaker 1: a whole theory about this too, which I've mentioned before
Speaker 1: on this show and Year's Path, where I think the
Speaker 1: crime is dropped dramatically, but also human behavior in many
Speaker 1: ways is getting better because we're always being monitored because
Speaker 1: of the elected, because of technology, because of the technological
Speaker 1: world that we live in now where there's forget about
Speaker 1: just handheld phones that all have video and instantaneous upload
Speaker 1: and streaming capability, but they're just there are cameras everywhere.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll walk around my building here in New
Speaker 1: York and all the common spaces there are cameras in
Speaker 1: every room that are going twenty four to seven. So
Speaker 1: everything that I'm doing in there is being watched, being recorded,
Speaker 1: being watched, being recorded all the time. Well that changes
Speaker 1: your behavior, right, you know, I'm less likely to go
Speaker 1: for like a totally nude midnight stroll through the gym
Speaker 1: in my building, given that there are cameras everywhere, right,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying there's like no chance I would do it. Well,
Speaker 1: now there's no chance I would do it, But I'm
Speaker 1: just saying it's less likely that an individual would do
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. I do know from a previous
Speaker 1: building that I lived in that the superintendent told me
Speaker 1: that one time there were some folks who did not realize,
Speaker 1: in what was called the communal lounge on the roof
Speaker 1: of a building, that there were cameras and they did stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, So sometimes you don't know and you know
Speaker 1: that you'll that won't affect your behavior. But I do
Speaker 1: think it's affecting human behavior in general. And I do
Speaker 1: think that for those of you who are like, oh,
Speaker 1: was that is that, like you have a friend? No,
Speaker 1: it really wasn't me. I did. I didn't even know
Speaker 1: who the people were, but the superintendent gave me some clues.
Speaker 1: This is where you have to remind yourself if you're
Speaker 1: somebody in the public eye, you could always be recorded
Speaker 1: and this could always be shown anywhere. Jenk, however, recorded
Speaker 1: this interaction himself with an airline employee when there's a delay,
Speaker 1: and then uploaded it to the Internet as though he's
Speaker 1: like the hero here play whatever the jenk The jerk
Speaker 1: clip is where is the plane? Is there a plane?
Speaker 1: Where is it? Where's the plane? You listen? If we
Speaker 1: just sit here and take it, it has us here
Speaker 1: at still six in the morning, and then they's even harder. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I need to your supervisor, aren't you where's the plane?
Speaker 1: All right? I'm not going to answer a question. No,
Speaker 1: I know because I've been here for four hours. Don't
Speaker 1: give me this where's the plane? Oh jerk? Does he
Speaker 1: think that? Does he think that the woman who's sitting
Speaker 1: there at the computer is just intentionally like not not
Speaker 1: bringing the plan on time? Now, I do understand the
Speaker 1: frustration with airlines when they I do think that airlines
Speaker 1: play games. I mean, I know that they do when
Speaker 1: they're not really telling people what they already know, because
Speaker 1: I kind of want to see if maybe things will
Speaker 1: get better at the time it'll be condensed, there could
Speaker 1: be more streamline communication. I totally get that. But by
Speaker 1: the way that gen clip goes on much longer, he's
Speaker 1: you know, berating this person and yelling at yelling at her. Um,
Speaker 1: I would just know that this is somebody whose whole,
Speaker 1: uh whole public mantra is to help the working class
Speaker 1: and that socialism would be better for America and then
Speaker 1: we should all have socialism and it's so great. There
Speaker 1: is this this constant pretense among the among people on
Speaker 1: the left that they care about everybody that they say
Speaker 1: is oppressed, whether it's minorities or women or you know,
Speaker 1: whatever whoever it may be. But more than that, or
Speaker 1: more specifically in this discussion, that they care so much
Speaker 1: about about the everyday working people in America. I just
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of very clear evidence that that's
Speaker 1: just not true. They really don't care. They like to
Speaker 1: pretend that they care. They like to have, you know,
Speaker 1: long philosophical conversations about the possibility of caring about people
Speaker 1: who work long hours for not a lot of pay.
Speaker 1: But when they actually have to interact with them and
Speaker 1: deal with them, h they're often I mean, this is
Speaker 1: what you get with MSNBC and these different these are
Speaker 1: these are liberal millionaires. I mean j jenk raised twenty
Speaker 1: million dollars for the Young Turks from some left wing
Speaker 1: Pierre Omidyard guy who also think funded the Intercept. I
Speaker 1: might be wrong on this, but he's raised all this money.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's paying himself probably a million dollars a
Speaker 1: year and maybe half a million dollars a year to
Speaker 1: run the Young Turks. These are rich people who talk
Speaker 1: constantly about how much they care about the poor and
Speaker 1: the oppressed, but then when they really get to interact
Speaker 1: with the oppressed or the working people, they show you
Speaker 1: who they really are. And I think when people show
Speaker 1: you who they are, we should remember that we should
Speaker 1: not just skip past it and assume that maybe they were,
Speaker 1: you know, having a bad day or something else. So
Speaker 1: Jenks a jerk, as I've been telling you all along,
Speaker 1: and the Young Turks is the worst, the worst left
Speaker 1: wing media organization on the Internet, which says a lot.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a pretty competitive space to be
Speaker 1: the worst of the left and the Internet. But they're
Speaker 1: definitely there. You're in the freedom Hunt. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. I don't I will miss that
Speaker 1: so much if I don't get to hear that once
Speaker 1: in a while from the President, because he were to
Speaker 1: lose reelection, so he's got to win reelection just so
Speaker 1: I get to continue to hear him call CNN fake news.
Speaker 1: It's the best. It's it's the greatest. CNN deserves every
Speaker 1: second of it. They deserve every time he says it
Speaker 1: that that that fake news organization deserves to be called
Speaker 1: fake news every day. Really, I mean, the president should
Speaker 1: make a he should just have like a standing appointment
Speaker 1: where he walks out to a podium. He's like, Hey,
Speaker 1: just so everyone's clear, CNN still fake news. Still a
Speaker 1: bunch of jerks over there. But unfortunately I can't get
Speaker 1: everything that I can't get everything that I want in life.
Speaker 1: It was international. I think it was International Women's Day
Speaker 1: over the weekend, which was interesting. Bernie Sanders. I also,
Speaker 1: I don't know how much these days this is like
Speaker 1: what activists put on calendars because no one's like, you
Speaker 1: can't do that, right, you can call any day any day.
Speaker 1: I want to declare Wednesday international, like cookie eating Day, producer, Mark,
Speaker 1: what do you think I did? I was part of
Speaker 1: a baking duo that made some ill you know, and
Speaker 1: we'll bring we'll bring one in for you tomorrow. Amazing,
Speaker 1: amazing cookies. It's not going to beat these cookies I've
Speaker 1: been recently buying online. What are these cookies? So there's
Speaker 1: this Instagram account. I'll shout them out called Mike Cookie
Speaker 1: Dealer and they make these half pound cookies half and
Speaker 1: they only found cookie half a pound. They only drop
Speaker 1: them when she's baking, so like it is a show
Speaker 1: post on Instagram. It's up Psychoes Live. You have that
Speaker 1: like an hour order and they shipped into your house.
Speaker 1: How quickly can you get them? They? I mean it's
Speaker 1: I think they're New York BASEDO though, come with it.
Speaker 1: What what kind of cookies have you had? Let's see
Speaker 1: the og. The original is a chocolate chip, but it's
Speaker 1: like stuffed with so much chocolate chunks, it's amazing. It's
Speaker 1: like cake. There's an Oreo one which has like Oreo
Speaker 1: cream in the middle and chocolate chips and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: There's a Canoli stuffed one. They have some crazy cookies. Oh.
Speaker 1: I've been spending a fair amount of time with a
Speaker 1: world class amateur baker, so she's made some cookies. We'll
Speaker 1: bring you some cookies prest free. They are, of course
Speaker 1: because they're made for me. Yeah, I'll bring you something
Speaker 1: Cluti free cookies there. They're amazing, amazing topic quality, like
Speaker 1: really good. I want to bring them in. You can believe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll I'll bring them in for you. Are you? I
Speaker 1: I tweeted out last week about old meal raisin cookies,
Speaker 1: and ever gave me a hard time about this because
Speaker 1: the realities, it really should be old meal chocolate chip.
Speaker 1: That's actually the best of both worlds, because everyone knows
Speaker 1: chocolate chips are better than raisins. One of the old meal,
Speaker 1: none of the raisins. You don't get any old meal stuff. No,
Speaker 1: not in a cookie. I do think it's funny because
Speaker 1: people think that it's somehow healthier. No same calories, same
Speaker 1: same carb same exactly, So why would you eat crep?
Speaker 1: I mean? Did the old meals a nice consistency? You
Speaker 1: have that with a little bit of coffee? I'm sure
Speaker 1: it is for breakfast. Look at this in a bowl?
Speaker 1: No no imagination on this one, you know what? You
Speaker 1: know what? I told my my expert baker that we
Speaker 1: should try to make by the Way salted caramel cookies
Speaker 1: or Earl Earl Gray tea flavored cookies. Why this is amazing?
Speaker 1: What do you mean we're trying to be creative? That
Speaker 1: doesn't sound good though a cookie doesn't know chocolate in it.
Speaker 1: I'm bringing I'm bringing. I was gonna say if we
Speaker 1: declared International Cookie Day on Wednesday, which I'm sure there
Speaker 1: isn't in definitely, Yeah, I just don't even know what
Speaker 1: it is. But you you're like, chocolate chip would be
Speaker 1: the team that you're playing for. That is the goat
Speaker 1: of all time, not snickerdoodle. No, no cookie that will
Speaker 1: beat chocolate. Snicker Doodles. What you eat when you've had
Speaker 1: like three chocolate chips in a row and you want
Speaker 1: to mix it up, but then you always go back
Speaker 1: the chocolate chip afterwards, you know, I mean maybe a
Speaker 1: double chocolate chip, like you know, chocolate bass, but yeah,
Speaker 1: same thing. Snicker doodle is kind of like your cookie
Speaker 1: side piece. You know, you gotta go to the snickerdoodle,
Speaker 1: but you know ultimately you're coming home the chocolate chip. Exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get it. So it was International Woman's Day and
Speaker 1: I was walking through Washington Square Park here in New York,
Speaker 1: and I was thinking, oh, wait, wait here, old I'm
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders. Just this, this is like what people are
Speaker 1: supposed to say about this play a team. I think
Speaker 1: women have obstacles placed in front of them that men
Speaker 1: do not have. On the other hand, we have made
Speaker 1: progress in the last forty fifty years in terms of
Speaker 1: the number of women who are now in the Congress.
Speaker 1: You can remember it wasn't so many years ago. A
Speaker 1: few decades ago, the Barbara Mukulski of Maryland was the
Speaker 1: only woman in the United States Senate. And we have
Speaker 1: made some progress, but the day has got to come
Speaker 1: sooner and later that women can see themselves equally represented
Speaker 1: in Congress, a half or more members of Congress, President
Speaker 1: of the United States, leaders of companies all over this country.
Speaker 1: We're making progress, but it's too slow. So it doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be fifty fifty do we have to have
Speaker 1: a quote? I just want to know what's what's enough?
Speaker 1: And we discount that women often make different life choices
Speaker 1: than men and so that results in different professional paths.
Speaker 1: Is that we're supposed to pretend that that's not a
Speaker 1: real thing because all the quote social science shows but
Speaker 1: we're going to ignore that, Ryan, you know, we I
Speaker 1: don't know, we're a society that it feels like we
Speaker 1: just keep putting motherhood down all the time, and we
Speaker 1: wonder why we have a lot of the problems we do.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's that, but I was walking through Washington
Speaker 1: Square Park and is fascinating because of International Women's Day.
Speaker 1: And I saw all of these displays about tran about
Speaker 1: how we need to do more for trans women biological males.
Speaker 1: So it's International Women's Day, and the activist left in
Speaker 1: Washington Square Park wanted to remind everybody on International Women's Day,
Speaker 1: we really need to focus on men who have transitioned
Speaker 1: to women. Okay, there's that. Thanks for listening to the
Speaker 1: Bus Session Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,
Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio Apple or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey,
Speaker 1: team Buck, it's time for roll fall, Roll call. By
Speaker 1: the way, we just had somebody and produce producer Mark
Speaker 1: was here so he can he can back me up
Speaker 1: on this. We add a very nice gentleman who just
Speaker 1: came in to spray lysol in the handle of our
Speaker 1: studio door, like this is now, which has that ever
Speaker 1: happened before, Producer Martin. But I mean, I'm now getting
Speaker 1: high from the lysol fumes in here. But I don't
Speaker 1: mind that. I wish they would just clean like this
Speaker 1: all the time, though, Like don't you agree that you
Speaker 1: wish the subway was cleaned all the time, like they
Speaker 1: are right now. The door handles. All. I was on
Speaker 1: the subway this morning and the guy sitting right next
Speaker 1: to me, and I swear this is what happened. He
Speaker 1: was eating peanut Eminem's, which I will say are delicious,
Speaker 1: and I did eat some myself over the weekend because
Speaker 1: we put them in the amazing cookies we made side note,
Speaker 1: which you will try. I was supposed to bring them today.
Speaker 1: I forgot. So I was told specifically. I was told
Speaker 1: specifically by a producer, Mark Fan, that you were supposed
Speaker 1: to get some of these cookies. Wait, you don't. You
Speaker 1: don't like chocolate like peanut butter, peanuts something, hate peanut butter. Wait,
Speaker 1: but even like peanut butter eminem's. Yeah no, I might
Speaker 1: have to make another batch. Then, oh, you only made
Speaker 1: peanut butter. I'll wait for some different Okay. I'm glad
Speaker 1: we didn't waste any these delicious cookies on you, sir um.
Speaker 1: But yeah no, I think I think we're all gonna
Speaker 1: get it. I agree that everyone's going to little nuts,
Speaker 1: but I just wish everyone clean like this. Also, the
Speaker 1: guy sitting next to me, I was eating peanum and
Speaker 1: ms and he was dropping in the subway car floor.
Speaker 1: Min m after Eminem just falling on the ground. People
Speaker 1: didn't care, didn't care, and like, and then we had
Speaker 1: Eminem's rattling around. There's a completely packed subway car. Eminem's
Speaker 1: rattling around the ground of the floor of the subway car. Then, guys,
Speaker 1: just you know, Eminem's rolling around everywhere. That happens with
Speaker 1: like coffee all the time. I guess he's trying to
Speaker 1: feed the you know, the very substantial NYC subway rat population.
Speaker 1: Not that they need to help because they outnumber humans now,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's not amazing. You're go on the
Speaker 1: subway at any point in time, you will see rats
Speaker 1: the size of kangaroos hopping around on those subway tracks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I basically live on this. This This is why I talk
Speaker 1: to this radio. I like to live on the subway. Now.
Speaker 1: I have to spend so much time to get to
Speaker 1: the various radio obligations I have, so anyway, but yeah,
Speaker 1: there's big, big rats. Okay, Doug hey Buck, there's a
Speaker 1: new book about the backstory of the Office, featuring on
Speaker 1: last Friday's New York Post. It's hilarious. By the way,
Speaker 1: I've not seen the later season the ones Correll left
Speaker 1: any good. I'll probably check out this backstory on the
Speaker 1: Office of the Office book that sounds kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: And as for later seasons post Steve Correll, they're okay,
Speaker 1: you've seen them, right, Yes, of course. I mean I
Speaker 1: like Robert California a little bit because I just like
Speaker 1: Robert California. Will Farrell, I think did damage to his
Speaker 1: comedy brand by being on he was horrible. I mean,
Speaker 1: the last fifteen years of his career, I've done damage. Yeah,
Speaker 1: It's it's amazing that he ever was considered funny. Really,
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's gone way, way way a long
Speaker 1: time ago, a very long time ago. He managed to
Speaker 1: be kind of funny, and then I think he became
Speaker 1: more political. He started doing like the George The George
Speaker 1: Bush Broadway Player, a movie where he just made fun
Speaker 1: of Bush the whole time. And I don't know, it
Speaker 1: wasn't it hasn't hasn't gotten good since since a long
Speaker 1: time ago. But the later seasons after Corral is not
Speaker 1: as good. Right, It's okay, Like I watched it the
Speaker 1: first time, but anytime I rewatched The Office a skip
Speaker 1: fag go right to the finale when Carrel comes. I mean,
Speaker 1: you still have Dwight Shrewd, who as a character is
Speaker 1: one of the funniest TV characters of all time. So
Speaker 1: Dwight Shrude is amazing on the show. But I have
Speaker 1: to check out this book. I don't know nothing about it,
Speaker 1: Jason right Buck. I've been listening to your show for
Speaker 1: several months now. I spent a lot of time driving
Speaker 1: for work and really look forward to hearing the podcast
Speaker 1: on Spotify. It's an extremely refreshing departure from so many
Speaker 1: other talk shows, and some of your comments have literally
Speaker 1: calls me to store and out loud while riding down
Speaker 1: the highway. I really enjoy hearing from producer Mark Too
Speaker 1: great to hear someone younger than myself that actually understands
Speaker 1: what's going on and is almost is out of touch
Speaker 1: with what apps and technology are apparently the hip thing.
Speaker 1: As I'm in my early thirties, I find myself technically
Speaker 1: a millennial and horribly at odds socially and politically with
Speaker 1: so many people my age and younger that want to
Speaker 1: ride the free stuff bandwagon of today's Democratic Party. I
Speaker 1: guess their parents neglected to teach them the valuable lessons
Speaker 1: that nothing is ever free in life. I believe Benjamin
Speaker 1: Franklin said at best when he said that those who
Speaker 1: would surrender essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither shields high.
Speaker 1: Keep up the good work well, Jason. Thank you appreciate
Speaker 1: you writing into us. And I'm so glad to have
Speaker 1: a new member of the team who is now enjoying
Speaker 1: the show and listening on Spotify. And I hope people
Speaker 1: continue to get you know, the I'm hoping people continue
Speaker 1: to listen to it wherever they find their podcasts. Jesse,
Speaker 1: right see, and thank you Bucking producer, Mark. You keep
Speaker 1: me well informed to entertain every day. Buck, your impressions,
Speaker 1: your top shelf, your Bernie leads me to fits a
Speaker 1: belly laughter. I've shared your shows with my father and
Speaker 1: my son. I passed them Bucks Shields. I well, Jesse,
Speaker 1: the single most helpful, most appreciative thing you can do
Speaker 1: is to do just that, is to pass the Bucks.
Speaker 1: So thank you very much. And I hope your dad
Speaker 1: and your son are now on Team Buck themselves and
Speaker 1: maybe they'll pass the Buck too. And this is how
Speaker 1: it goes. We want this to continue. To know, people
Speaker 1: talk about things spreading these days, everyone gets scared. We
Speaker 1: want the podcast to spread far and wide. It's good
Speaker 1: for everybody. So we really do ask your help with that.
Speaker 1: And it's just an easy think of it. Like a
Speaker 1: conversation started, our producer Markus pointed out, on a first date,
Speaker 1: it might be asking a little much for you to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, babe, have you ever heard of the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show? But but when you're with your buddies,
Speaker 1: you know, grilling some burghers, hanging out on the weekends
Speaker 1: playing some flag football or street hockey. See look at that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't think first day it's probably the way
Speaker 1: to go. Do you do that on first date? Say hey,
Speaker 1: do you know who I am? No? Because because they
Speaker 1: would all say no, and then there's nothing worse than
Speaker 1: be that do you know who I am? Guy? And
Speaker 1: people are like no, no, it's not good. It's like,
Speaker 1: excuse me? Are you a are you a particularly politically
Speaker 1: involved person? Who? No, No, they they have absolutely no idea.
Speaker 1: But hey, I thought Rush was bald. Yeah, true, Joseph.
Speaker 1: Been listening to the show lately on my route. I'm
Speaker 1: a truck driver. I've picked up a few discussions about
Speaker 1: Marvel movies based on what I've heard you say, I
Speaker 1: think you would like the Captain America trilogy the best.
Speaker 1: They are politically and philosophically deeper than much of the
Speaker 1: rest of the Marvel Comic Universe movies, particularly the Winter
Speaker 1: Soldier and Civil War, though admittedly I love all of them.
Speaker 1: I did see some of Winter Soldier and it seemed
Speaker 1: like it was a pretty probably a pretty good movie
Speaker 1: to me. Is that is that fair? You're yeah, I
Speaker 1: agree with that assessment, but I think you would like
Speaker 1: the Captain America stuff. Yeah, they all are great, but yeah,
Speaker 1: those are solid. Yeah, yeah, that guy, that guy, Chris
Speaker 1: Evans does a pretty good job in it. Didn't make
Speaker 1: They've made like more X Men movies recently. No one
Speaker 1: even really sees these anymore, right, they're Marvel Comic Universe,
Speaker 1: but they don't. Yeah, they were separate universe technically. And
Speaker 1: then the x ME movies lately have been bad, but
Speaker 1: the Deadpool movies have been great. I love that. I
Speaker 1: see we're going to agree on out. I thought I
Speaker 1: thought the first Deadpool movie was hilarious for what it was,
Speaker 1: so I think they're hoping to reboot it. The X
Speaker 1: Men based on Deadpool as well, and then maybe integrate
Speaker 1: that into the rest of the MCU. Yeah. Here, Well, well, man,
Speaker 1: I'll check out Winter Soldier for sure. I've a feeling
Speaker 1: there might be a lot of movie watching time and
Speaker 1: a lot of people's futures just because not because they're
Speaker 1: going to self quarantine, although that will be a thing
Speaker 1: that happens to some people, but just because big gatherings
Speaker 1: right now. You know, I was looking at some concerts
Speaker 1: I wanted to go to over the weekend. Then I
Speaker 1: realized it was like, I don't want to plan a
Speaker 1: concert to go to a concert a month or two
Speaker 1: from now, because what are the chances that that gets
Speaker 1: gets canceled? Yeah, I think that's very It's a not
Speaker 1: zero chance. It's like getting higher every day that these
Speaker 1: concerts are gonna start getting cancel Luckily in my next
Speaker 1: concert hasn't sold July. Yeah, So well, the warm weather
Speaker 1: helps with all this to it's an open air. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and thankfully, you know, we are at the we're at
Speaker 1: the tail end of getting toward the tail end of
Speaker 1: flu season, so that's good and people will be outdoors
Speaker 1: more and all that good stuff. Janet, hey Buck lab
Speaker 1: dings are going so well for you. Oh, Janet, I
Speaker 1: hope they're going well. You might be a little more
Speaker 1: optimistic than me. You deserve success for all your hard work.
Speaker 1: Thank you for your tireless efforts to break it down
Speaker 1: for us and keep us informed. I'm listening to February
Speaker 1: twentieth podcast. What you're saying about how Medica Medicare for
Speaker 1: All will play out. It's so true. I'm a healthcare provider.
Speaker 1: We will not work for the peanuts Bernie wants to
Speaker 1: toss us. I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner in private practice,
Speaker 1: and psychiatric care is difficult to find already. I actually
Speaker 1: have folks cry with relief when I say I'll take
Speaker 1: them on as a new patient. So some psychiatrists have
Speaker 1: already gone cash pay only. Why deal with pesky insurance companies.
Speaker 1: If Bernie ever does get his healthcare plan through, sorry
Speaker 1: to say, I will be a cash pay provider as well.
Speaker 1: Maybe even have a concierge practice where I manage a
Speaker 1: group of patients for a monthly fee, which is also
Speaker 1: done now. After twenty seven years of taking care of patients,
Speaker 1: I won't be dictated to by Bernie. Just imagining the
Speaker 1: red tape and the hoops under his system hurts my
Speaker 1: brain working hard to pack our retirement account now in
Speaker 1: case he gets in, I would retire and care for
Speaker 1: patients as a volunteer before subjecting myself to the insult
Speaker 1: that would be Medicare for All. It said that Bernie
Speaker 1: will do away with all private insurance, and some countries
Speaker 1: private healthcare exists alongside public healthcare and folks have a
Speaker 1: choice to pay for better care Ireland, Australia and others. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what By the way, that is what we would
Speaker 1: have here, unless they try to outlaw private care, which
Speaker 1: I don't think they would do, but in order to
Speaker 1: force people fro you know, being able to make that choice,
Speaker 1: that I could see them turning the law and saying no, no,
Speaker 1: have to go through our government system. Because what'll happen
Speaker 1: is everybody with the money won't go through the government
Speaker 1: system anymore, and you'll have a really good, efficient, private
Speaker 1: healthcare system for people who can pay and are really crappy, slow,
Speaker 1: in apt Medicare for all system, but it's free and
Speaker 1: all of your taxes are going up to pay for it.
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, Jeanette appreciate that. Anyway. That's my
Speaker 1: two cents I'm pretty much always here for my patients.
Speaker 1: I'll be calling and checking on some today Sunday. It's
Speaker 1: just howadays. I love my work, but I require compensation.
Speaker 1: Carry on, Janet, of course everybody does. I mean, I
Speaker 1: love my job. Would I show up for free? Probably
Speaker 1: not for four hours a day of radio? And would
Speaker 1: I continue to do this? Well, I have to do
Speaker 1: something to make a living, right, So you know you
Speaker 1: have to. There's a reason why compensation comes along with jobs.
Speaker 1: Jane rites, Hey Buck heard you talking about how Trump
Speaker 1: likes people. I was not a Trump supporter in the primary,
Speaker 1: but did vote for him for the obvious reason. Shortly
Speaker 1: after his inauguration, I watched Trump address employees of a
Speaker 1: major company I work for twenty years with injured workers,
Speaker 1: many of the good old boys. I sat there amazed.
Speaker 1: It was obvious Trump likes these people. I was won over. Yeah, Jane,
Speaker 1: that's that's really what I was saying. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think it's clear to anybody who pays attention to what
Speaker 1: Trump interacts with different folks that Trump he just he
Speaker 1: likes people. He thinks the guys that you know, guys
Speaker 1: that drive trucks, guys that you know work on building sites,
Speaker 1: guys that are electricians, you know, and all the way
Speaker 1: up to people that are you know, building companies, and
Speaker 1: all the way over to people who are you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, in the military. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: he likes people that do stuff, and that comes across
Speaker 1: you know, Elizabeth Warren likes people who are fancy and
Speaker 1: feel you know, at home in the faculty lounge at Harvard.
Speaker 1: Which is why journalists who are overwhelmingly real arts majors
Speaker 1: who seem to think that the old way of you
Speaker 1: go to a certain kind of school or not. A
Speaker 1: lot of journalists go to not impressive schools. But the
Speaker 1: ones who do go to impressive schools think that now
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be listened to by everybody else. But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I look, I think Trump. It's a real thing that
Speaker 1: to observe that Trump just likes everyday folks. He does,
Speaker 1: he does. Yeah, he also likes you know, supermodels and
Speaker 1: incredibly beautiful women. But you know, what's a lot of
Speaker 1: everyday guys. So it doesn't really it's not really surprising.
Speaker 1: You're in the freedom hud. This is the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. All right, Rollcall continues now with Sarah Buck
Speaker 1: love your show and your voice impressions. You crack me up.
Speaker 1: When I first heard you, I thought, here's the future
Speaker 1: of talk radio. You remind me a little of Rush,
Speaker 1: yet you have your own style. On another note, whenever
Speaker 1: you improduce a Mark get off On a subject of
Speaker 1: whistling and your extreme dislike of it, I can't help
Speaker 1: thinking of the comic A Fuzzy and One particular strip
Speaker 1: where the main characters are arguing about pucker screaming aka whistling. Look,
Speaker 1: I think there's a I'll actually try to google this
Speaker 1: medical condition where whistling bothers you. I think it's a thing,
Speaker 1: like it's a Maybe it's some kind of psychological disorder,
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure it's misoponia. All right, man? Really,
Speaker 1: you know, on today, of all days, no cookie fits
Speaker 1: in the markets, having rough day today, No cookies for you,
Speaker 1: producer Mark, you're cut off. Oh I don't like them
Speaker 1: because the peanut. But yeah, it will make some delicious
Speaker 1: chocolate chip, all right, and then you won't get me,
Speaker 1: Yeah I will holding back from you. Misophonia is a
Speaker 1: disorder in which certain sounds trigger emotional or physiological response
Speaker 1: that some might perceive as unreasonable given the circumstances. Those
Speaker 1: who have misophonia might describe it as when a sound
Speaker 1: drives you crazy. That's on web MD. A common one
Speaker 1: with that is some people chewing with their mouths open. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like on the radio. People have like the
Speaker 1: radio shows have gotten complaints people eating on the air
Speaker 1: because people hate that sound. It is not considered a
Speaker 1: mental illness, but it may be a form of sound
Speaker 1: emotion synesthesia and has parallels with some anxiety disorders. So
Speaker 1: I mean, no, I'm not crazy. I just hate whistling.
Speaker 1: So there you go. I have misophonia about whistling. We
Speaker 1: should make that a T shirt. That's right. I'm not crazy.
Speaker 1: I just hate whistling. I think that's feeble, shouldn't I'm
Speaker 1: right about this. I don't know why people walk around
Speaker 1: no one. No one wants to hear you whistling. Nobody,
Speaker 1: nobody wants to hear it's some people. Doesn't really bother them. Fine,
Speaker 1: normal people doesn't bother them. I'm not normal. Drives me completely.
Speaker 1: This must be why you hate sports. I don't hate sports,
Speaker 1: although the people that you know who actually I am,
Speaker 1: I have to suppress thoughts of violence. For the people
Speaker 1: who think that it's at events of any kind, the theater,
Speaker 1: sports events, they do the fingers in the mouth whistle,
Speaker 1: the super high whistle all. The only thing that does
Speaker 1: is make a horrible noise that the people within like
Speaker 1: five five feet of you have to endure. No One
Speaker 1: else cares about your super high whistle noise in the stadium.
Speaker 1: No one else is like, yeah, super high, super high whistle. Guy. Actually,
Speaker 1: at Ranger games, like at least five to ten times
Speaker 1: a game, somebody does a whistle thing and then everyone
Speaker 1: yells pod Van sucks. There's not a tradition at Ranger
Speaker 1: games for But is it the fingers in the mouth
Speaker 1: whistle thing? Yeah, I mean that's how you make it
Speaker 1: louder so the whole arena can hear you, and then
Speaker 1: everyone yells pot Van sucks. That sounds horrible. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: the way I did look at I did because I'm
Speaker 1: trying to find like a weekend we can go to
Speaker 1: Rangers game. Sticks are very expensive, crucial Mark. We gotta
Speaker 1: go out, we gotta go out to Brooklyn. This show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not quite a We're not a like Russia. We're
Speaker 1: not a Russia or a handity status here. I can't
Speaker 1: be the sting is like three four hundred bucks for
Speaker 1: good tickets. Yeah, because you only want to sit in
Speaker 1: a good seas Yeah, you know I'm not gonna dray
Speaker 1: you up the nosebleed seats. It's unacceptable. Kristin writes, Hey, Buck,
Speaker 1: love the show and listen everydy to the podcast. Regarding
Speaker 1: the video game, they'd be a good movie. How about
Speaker 1: the Legend of Zelda? Great action and story and people
Speaker 1: love that other worldly stuff. I think there isn't a
Speaker 1: Legend of Zelda movie, right, I think so. They just
Speaker 1: came out with a sonic movie. Yeah, Nick writes, and
Speaker 1: I've been a daily listener to your show since hearing
Speaker 1: it on KFAB here in Omaha. The story about Comrade
Speaker 1: Sanders attempting to board the wrong jet gave me a
Speaker 1: great idea for Trump to troll bumbling Biden. As he
Speaker 1: can't use his own playing for travel while president, he
Speaker 1: could send it to Biden's playing around the country with
Speaker 1: a perfect photo op Biden on the tarmac with a
Speaker 1: giant Trump shot in the background. Just a thought. Love
Speaker 1: the show, producer Mark is great. A lot of love
Speaker 1: for producer Mark today he's great, he's apparently great, and
Speaker 1: you're all great who listen to this. So thank you
Speaker 1: so much for joining us past the Buck. We'll talk
Speaker 1: to you tomorrow. She'll tie
