WEBVTT - It's Stiff Upper Lip Time 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:15.400 You are entering the freedom. Huge stock market plummets today. 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.480 A global panic attack is underway because of coronavirus. Will 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:22.599 work through what's true, what's not, what's exaggerated, and what's 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.200 for real. Also, the head of the port authority here 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:28.560 in New York has coronavirus. Governor Cuomo of New York 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:32.320 has advice for people. Italy has quarantine people in its north. 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:36.040 Biden versus Bernie Michigan's the Big State tomorrow. We got 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:38.280 that and much more coming up on The buck Sexton Show. 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.360 This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:46.560 mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:52.120 Make no mistake American rank here a great American Again, 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:59.680 the buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. No, 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.920 A bad flu season is eighty thousand dead. We've got 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.679 about eighteen thousand dead from influenza this year. We have 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.520 a hundred from Corona. Which should you be worried about 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.920 influenza or Corona? One hundred versus eighteen thousand? Okay, it's 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.760 not a trick question. And look everything that's going on 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.080 with the New York cleaning the subways and everyone using 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.520 Clark's wipes. And get your flu shot. WHI should be 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:24.679 the other message, that's good, it's a good thing. So 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:26.520 I have no problem with the behaviors. What I have 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.480 a problem with is the panic and the fact that 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.160 businesses are getting destroyed and people's lives are being upended 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.720 not by the virus but by the panic. The panic 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.920 must stop, and the press they really, I somehow need 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.000 to be held accountable because they are hurting people. Welcome 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.680 to the buck, sex and show everybody. That's my biggest 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:49.160 single takeaway for today. The press is being wildly irresponsible 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.760 here as we try to figure out what's next with 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:56.120 this coronavirus situation. I have to deep dive into this 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.680 with you today. We'll work through all the angles together. 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.560 I really still stick to take precautions, take it seriously. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.960 Everyone needs to calm down, or not everybody, but people 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.560 that are acting like this is the zombie apocalypse, and 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:12.400 there really are people that are taking that approach. I 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.320 think that if they don't get the last mask from 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.400 their local drug store or something, that somehow they're not 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.280 going to be ones who makes it through this. We 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.799 have dealt with pandemics before as a species, we will 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:29.280 deal with pandemics. Again. There are some takeaways from all 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.959 of this. One of my most important ones is perhaps 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:39.680 we shouldn't focus so much on science that doesn't really 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.640 matter and doesn't affect any of our lives. You know, 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.360 perhaps there shouldn't be this obsession with climate change and 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.040 CO two emissions when we all know that it's just 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.240 a matter of time. Any given year, millions and millions 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:56.320 of people could contract a truly high mortality, virulent pathogen, 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.679 and then all of a sudden we realize, Wow, maybe 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.600 we should spend that money on something else, Maybe we 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.680 could have taken a different approach. And I think, hopefully 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:10.000 this is one of these one of these moments where 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.120 we start to think about where we should really put 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.960 our priority. A green New deal, all that stuff that's 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.000 a that's a fake religious belief that they won't admit 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.080 as a religious belief, has nothing to do with actually 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.040 saving the world. They're saving the planet. These people are 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:26.079 absurd dealing with coronavirus. This is very real. Pandemic disease 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.040 is very real. And I assure you, if we were 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.440 to go back and look at the archives of this show, 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.720 I believe I was asked a question, maybe even last summer. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.040 What scares you? And I remember this now, I said, 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.080 I said, when a pandemic disease scares me, that's something 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.880 that we have to be serious about. And that's where 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.080 we are now. The dow down almost what two thousand 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:48.920 points on a plunge today related to fears over this virus, 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.640 which there's a whole lot that goes into that fears 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:57.280 over the virus, but also a decision about oil production 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.840 with OPEC and OPEC. Plus I'll give you some of 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.960 that storyline as well, just so we're all up to 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.600 speed on it. But I just wanted to start say 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.360 hey by telling you that, you know, the media really 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:12.160 cannot resist this opportunity to slowly drag the public through 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:17.560 a collective panic attack, because it's a lazy way to 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.919 drive audience, to get clicks, to get viewers, and to 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:27.840 hysterically trash Trump all day long. Plus somehow we are 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:33.000 supposed to come away from all of this thinking that confused, corrupt, 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:37.200 inept Joe Biden would do so much better, that Joe 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:41.640 Biden would be saving us, whereas Trump is leading us 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:46.000 into disaster. I mean, this is, this is entirely unserious. 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.919 This is and it's reckless, it's damaging. It's not just 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:54.719 something that I think we should hold them to account 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:59.279 for in terms of the politics. But also there are 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.719 a real effects here. I mean, you know doctor Drew 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.200 and that clip was talking about how people's lives are 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:09.480 being upended. There are going to be businesses that businesses 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.240 might not recover some of them from this. You know, 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.560 there are places now that they're in their busy season. 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.160 You know, huge concerts are being canceled, huge gatherings, hundreds 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.920 of millions of dollars of revenue at south By Southwest 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:29.320 in Austin, say hi to all our folks down in Kalbj, Austin, UND. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.159 Hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue just gone. Basically, 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:37.560 there's all this additional quarantine over from over the weekend 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.240 that has taken place in northern Italy. About a quarter 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:46.000 of all of Italy is now technically under quarantine and 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.000 also has one of the oldest populations in the world. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.120 I would note that if the Chinese in a country, 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:57.159 a very densely packed country of a now do you 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.599 believe that Chinese numbers Probably not. Maybe they're maybe they're 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.440 just trying to game the system and hope that their 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.640 economy will not be as badly bruised by this. If 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.719 they downplay their severity of the cases in their own country, 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:15.280 that's possible. But if you believe some of the Chinese numbers, 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.440 that's a huge If they have been able to turn 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:24.240 the the the curve in the other direction now so 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.839 that there are less there are fewer and fewer, not less, 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:31.440 fewer and fewer cases of this with each passing day. 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.560 And if they can do that in a billion plus 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:40.480 person often very densely packed together China, it's certainly possible 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:44.039 to get this under control in other places. So the 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.880 dow plummeting now has all these people who are profits 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.480 of doom, and I find that to be very lazy. 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.240 You notice I don't come on the radio show and 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:57.799 day after day find some way to try to frighten 0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:59.520 people all the time. There are other shows that really 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.600 and they can conservatives and they do that all the time. 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.760 The country's going to hell. Everything's terrible, you know, the 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.479 lives are ruining everything, and any day now we're going 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.720 to no longer have a constitution. There are real threats, 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.600 there are real concerns. I think the rise of socialism 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.080 is something even with Bernie Sanders not becoming necessarily the 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.160 Democratic primary opponent, it's something we have to take very 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.520 seriously in this country and look at why we'd go 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.840 to this point, why we would repeat these mistakes made 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.440 in the past by so many other countries and expand 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.160 upon these socialist mistakes in our own country and our 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.600 own economy. But all that said, I don't show up 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.280 here every day and tell you that you know, we're 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.720 all going to die, or that you know the Caliphate 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.000 is going to take over America any day, or there's 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:43.600 all kinds of things. Although it is true, and I 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.200 like to say this, we are all going to die. 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.480 That's a fact that we're just not all going to 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.760 die from coronavirus. In fact, very very few of us, 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:55.200 I think, in the overall percentage, will succumb to coronavirus. 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:57.760 You know, in a sense, this is a reminder in 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.640 our modern era where we all see life expectancy, we 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.760 see life expectancy getting higher generally. I know there's been 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.280 a drop in life expectancy in America for white males 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:12.360 because of opioid addiction specifically and the deaths from it. 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.720 But overall, if you look at the last one hundred 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:17.800 years or so, we're just we're living longer and healthier, 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:21.040 longer and healthier, longer and healthier. That's our expectation, and 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.000 we get in this mindset of everything's going to keep 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.040 getting better, everything's gonna keep getting stronger. We've had a 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:30.040 stock market now that has been essentially going up for 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.800 ten years, and some people would say that it's really 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.040 a twenty year bull market with a blip in it. 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.400 One thing that I do love is watching all these 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.840 different supposed experts in the market and an investing go 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.439 on TV and tell us things that are either so 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.600 obvious that they don't really need to be said, or 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.800 that are so stupid. I'm surprised anybody would go on 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.040 TV to say it. And this is their job is 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.960 to tell us about Oh, sometimes the market goes up, 0:08:55.040 --> 0:09:00.680 sometimes the market goes down, thanks Bob. So this is 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:05.320 where we are now, recognizing that markets do come down, 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.840 recognizing that pandemic disease is reel, that there are still 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:13.400 challenges even in our incredibly comfortable modern world, especially in 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.080 the developed world, especially here in America. We are all mortal, 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.440 and we are having to think about that and face 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:21.640 that in a way, we have in a long time. 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:26.439 We have not had a draft for the military in 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.200 how many decades, you know, We've had a very small 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:33.200 percentage of this country that is the effectively the warrior 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:37.199 class of America. They are our warriors. They go, they 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:41.440 choose to fight America's battles at home and abroad. I mean, 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.200 they choose to be the ones who are defending us, 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.600 defending the constitution. We have not had a draft in 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.800 many decades, and we have not had a mass casualty 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.880 war along the lines of what we saw in the 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.800 early to mid twentieth century in a very long time 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.160 as well, right, I mean go back, you'd have go 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.520 back to Vietnam, and that was mass casualties stretched over 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:09.480 many years. We have gotten very comfortable. We've gotten as 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.319 a country, I think a little bit a little bit 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.040 soft about our expectations of what the future is going 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.520 to be like and how there's not going to be 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.960 that much strongle I mean, this is why you've had 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:24.559 in the last couple of years completely contrived, I mean, 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:28.839 completely made up controversies about Trump working with the Russians, 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:33.200 and this, you know, captured the American imagination of the 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.160 left of Democrats for sure, and we had to sit 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.280 through this and fight through this lunacy. But that's really 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.640 only possible because we weren't fighting a huge war, because 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.360 we were in the midst of a depression or a 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.360 major recession. Because there weren't things that we're keeping us 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.320 up late at night that were imminent threats to our safety, 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.520 to our family, to our well being in the way 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.880 that other generations have dealt with. So I think our 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.520 mentality had gotten a little bit soft, as evidenced by 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.400 all the different things that we spend and you know, 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.080 the media spends time talking to you about focusing on, 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:10.200 you know, the latest in the in the transgender you know, 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.640 equality movement, or whether women should be able to compete 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.160 in men's sports, or just think of any issue that's 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.480 gotten a hyper focus from the media that often we 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.880 have to engage with on the right, try to refuge, 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.880 try to say no, that's not a good idea, No, 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.360 we shouldn't be so green new deals. I've perhaps perhaps 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.000 the best example of this. I mean, that's just a 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:35.680 giant lunacy fest. It makes no sense whatsoever. But we 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.240 had real time spent all this issue. Yeah, we're gonna 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.600 rebuild every building in the country. We're gonna dramatically transform 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:44.960 our economy. You know, we forget sometimes that the economy 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.640 can be a somewhat fragile thing. I mean, there have 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.840 been empires, there have been great states of the past, 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.040 nation states where or in the pre nation state, pre 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:59.920 Westphalian era, just the hedgemon all of a sudden, you know, 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.640 collapses slowly then suddenly right that that's what ends up 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.360 being the epitaph, is that it was it took a while, 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:07.680 and it didn't really and then I was a sudden 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:12.400 boom gone. So to talk about moving trillions of dollars 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.760 around in the healthcare system, or trillions of dollars around 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.720 because the Green New Deal, these were only conversations that 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:21.360 we could have because everything in this country was seeming 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.800 to trend in the right direction. Despite and I now 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.640 really think now that we have a real crisis at 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:31.040 least to deal with. Think about all the false crises 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.160 we've had to deal with in the last three years. 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.200 And this is the one of the problems that the 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.520 media has created is that, of course I'm skeptical of 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.400 any media criticism of Trump's response to coronavirus because all 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.800 they do is criticize it. They don't they don't take 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.720 they don't, you know, take a step back and call 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.000 balls and strikes. They don't pick their shots. It's everything 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:56.200 Trump does is horrible. Everything that every decision he makes, 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.120 whether it was stopping the flights in from China. I remember, 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.319 I mean, I've actually got a whole thread of all 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.439 these different news stories. Experts say this is not a 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.480 good idea. Experts say, well, now we're talking about experts 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.160 saying that we should have bigger and bigger lockdowns and 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.600 don't get on a cruise ship. I mean, you're hearing 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:15.000 experts say things like that, don't do it, and you 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:16.559 don't need to tell me that. By the way, there 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.320 are a few things that sound more hellish to me 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.199 these days than being stuck on a cruise ship for 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.520 a few weeks in quarantine. Stuck in my cruise ship room, 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:30.440 I would lose my mind. So I've never been a 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.960 cruise person. It's not my cup of tea, but especially 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.199 these days, it's not a particularly good idea. I think 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.360 we all can understand why. So I sit here and 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:47.200 I try to take the most fair minded, objective assessment 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.520 of this current situation as I can, and I really 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:53.320 do believe that we're gonna be okay, We're gonna get 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.640 through this. And there are people who you have to remember, 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:58.720 and this goes back to what I told you last week. 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:02.040 They are rooting for failure here. And part of rooting 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.760 for failure is a self fulfilling prophecy, because if they 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:10.880 get people more scared, if they create enough anxiety, then 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:16.000 that alone affects decision making, affects the way people go 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.760 about their daily lives, business, investment, hiring, all these different things. 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.760 So that the great and the fondest wish, the greatest 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.440 hope of the Democrats is Trump will go into reelection 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.880 in the midst of a recession. Some have been open 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.320 about that. Some have been willing to say that they 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.240 just want there to be a recession. They don't care 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.960 how painful that is for Americans and what that really 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.920 means for us. Many of them are hoping that that's 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:43.120 what's going to happen. They're hoping for a recession. Are 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.920 they hoping for there to be real grounds based on 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.200 the numbers to say that Trump let coronavirus get out 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.640 of control here? I'd like to think the answer is no. 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.880 But unfortunately, I believe there are people who would make 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:56.680 that trade off because they think the Trump is the 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.440 greatest threat to this country that has ever existed, which 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.600 is something only crazy people can think, but they do 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.800 believe it. There are millions and millions of Democrats of 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:07.600 leftists who have adopted that as the as their core belief, 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.960 their core position on all things going on in the country. 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.920 Trump is the single biggest threat, and so they can't 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.840 objectively talk about any of this stuff. And that's why 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.520 the media just filters. The media rather just factors into 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:24.480 this hysteria and adds to it constantly. When you know, 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:26.560 you look at where we are right now, you look 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.640 at the growth in cases in this country. It's gonna 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.280 get worse before it gets better, but it's going to 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.320 get better, and it's not going to be that bad. 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:38.520 I think if that changes, we'll have a conversation about 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.560 that too. Why can't everyone just be an adult about 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.880 this in the media. Why can't everyone just put aside 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.520 how much they hate Trump? I mean, we're going to 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.320 talk more about Biden later on the show. Does anyone 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.480 really think that Joe Biden has great judgment and they'd 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.800 feel so much better if you would sleep better night 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.480 knowing Joe Biden as president right now instead of Trump. 0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:00.280 I'd like to know why. I mean, unless burismas you 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.080 checks for eighty grand a month to do nothing. I 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:03.840 want to know why you think Joe Biden would be 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.080 better in this role. What evidence is there for it. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.560 Joe Biden is a mediocrity who has just done whatever 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.680 he's had to do his entire career to keep getting elected. 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:17.400 That's all he does, that's all he cares about. No leadership, 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.080 no good judgment, not an intellectual, not in particularly smart, 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:27.840 not particularly ethical, not inspiring. But that's what you're supposed 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.120 to take away from so much of this criticism over 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.200 Trump doesn't take it seriously to hear what he said 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.960 in this press conference. Because Joe Biden would be so 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:41.320 much better. That's an unserious position. You're in the freedom hunt. 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:48.880 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. They have no plan. 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.160 They might have a plan in seventy two hours, and 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.840 he can't tell you anything about that plan. And it's 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.080 like Donald Trump saying on Friday, I don't want that 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.440 ship to die because that will just mean that there 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:06.200 are more reported numbers of the coronavirus, as if somehow 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:12.640 those numbers being reported somewhere is going to change the reality. 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.040 That's the thing. These people aren't in touch with the reality, 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.800 the fact that the virus does not care about their 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:24.960 stupid politics. The virus does not care about their stupid 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:29.000 stunts on the House floor. The virus does not care 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:33.360 about their stupid denials or their attacks on the press, 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:38.240 are on democrats or on international health organizations. The virus 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:42.520 is going to kill Americans regardless of their stupidity. Are 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:47.440 actually because of their stupidity. I mean, Joss garbrosamorn, and 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.600 it's really embarrassing that MSNBC gives him the platform that 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:54.119 they do. Well, what was that rant? Even about Trump 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:58.640 is bad? The virus doesn't care, and Americans are gonna 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.959 die because of their own stupid Really, I mean, if 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.639 Americans contract this, it's because they walk around and someone 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:07.840 coughs this stuff into the air. How does that have 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.639 to do with stupidity? Joe Biden is a disgrace and 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:14.200 a moron. Truly. Thanks for listening to The bus Esson 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:19.040 Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.920 or wherever you get your podcasts. Sorry, I mean, Joe 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.320 Scarborough is a disgrace at the moron. But actually, since 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.760 we're on the subject, Joe Biden, Joe Biden is as well, 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:33.399 so sorry, whoops, different joes, different joes, different days, but 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:37.600 but close enough. Nonetheless, there's also I can't help but 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.679 notice a voice that keeps entering the discussion over the 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:45.600 Trump administration's response to coronavirus, A voice that wants to 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.280 be heard. And you might think, why, Well, I think 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:50.320 we can all start to come up with some interesting 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:57.359 reasons for that, some reasons like, for example, she wants 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:03.720 to be back in the game some meaningful way. This 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.200 is Hillary Clinton talking about the Trump administration's response, this 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:12.920 play clabit. It's actually been worse free because when he 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.120 was elected, I did hold out hope that despite all 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:20.880 of the rhetoric, the bomb bast and everything we heard 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:24.040 in the campaign, that the job has a way of 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:28.320 encouraging people to grow into it, to accept the awesome 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:33.000 responsibilities that one has. But when I heard his inaugural 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:37.280 speech of the divisiveness of it, continuing to set Americans 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.960 against America's the language to darn harnage in the streets, 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.399 I knew that he had no intention of trying to 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:47.080 be the president for the entire country. He was still 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.879 very much focused on those who he had brought into 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:54.680 his base, and I think as a result, he has 0:19:54.800 --> 0:20:00.959 made some very serious missteps as president. Like what if 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:02.879 it weren't for coronavirus, you know it would be happening. 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:05.040 We'd be sitting around talking about how Trump is cruising 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.719 the reelection because the Democrats are a clown show. But now, 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:13.119 because people are scared, Democrats not only blame him for 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:15.840 they say a bad response to coronavirus. Then you say, 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:19.679 what's the bad response? Trump's words about how it's not 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.040 going to be that bad. That's not a bad response. 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:28.320 But despite that, they use this this general feeling of anxiety, 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:32.159 They are exploiting it and returning to the old narratives 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:34.320 about how Trump has done a bad job as president. 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:37.000 Trump is done a bad job because people right now 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:40.760 are concerned, because the markets are going down, because there's 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.960 an overall sentiment that we're heading into some pretty rough 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:47.640 weeks perhaps rough months ahead. Instead of trying to help 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:49.480 figure out what do we do to make that less 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.240 bad for the American people, what are Democrats doing capitalizing 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:55.520 on this. Trump was never a good president. Trump never 0:20:55.560 --> 0:21:00.240 did a good job. And Hillary, I think it's vious 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.600 at this point, does want to be back in the 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:05.920 game with the Democrat Party. And I don't know if 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:07.240 that means she thinks she's going to be able to 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.280 pull something off at a broker convention. That strikes me 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.800 as less likely than tell me who a better VP 0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:16.120 candidates for Joe Biden than Hillary Clinton at this point, 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:21.040 and let's look at the reality. Joe Biden is an 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.960 old guy who is certainly has certainly lost a step, 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:26.040 that's the kindest way you can put it, lost a 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:29.320 couple steps. That's where we are right now with the 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.359 Democrat frontrunner. Who will talk more about what's going to 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:34.879 happen tomorrow in Michigan or what the expectations are. But 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:38.359 it looks like it's going to be Biden. It looks 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:40.280 like Joe Biden's going to be the guy who's in 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:43.159 the front of this whole thing. But Hillary Clinton's out 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:46.800 there still making her voice heard, still weighing in on this, 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:50.200 and it does bring some of us to say, why 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:51.800 do we have to hear from her again? Oh, that's right, 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.520 because she also just has this Hulu documentary that came out, 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:58.320 which is really like a hagiography. I mean, it's the 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:03.120 most positive pro Hillary spin on her career in life. 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:06.320 You could ever imagine being put out by a digital 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:10.359 powerhouse Hulu. You know, I just to to the whatever 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:13.200 conservative billionaires are out there. I do want to ask them, Hey, guys, 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:16.760 you know the left has Netflix, the left test Facebook, 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:19.880 the left test Twitter, the left test Hulu, the left 0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:23.080 has Amazon. Look at all these places. Can we have 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:27.840 like a not left wing major digital content platform out there? 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:30.440 I mean, that's a that's a real player that will 0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:34.320 pay fifty to one hundred million dollars for a new 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:36.000 series or you know, to put on a new series 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:38.879 or a new show. You know, can we stop losing 0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:42.040 in the culture fight? That would be really nice because 0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:45.800 I see it happening all over again as CNN and 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:48.919 ABC in these different news networks just continue that. You know, 0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:52.879
