Speaker 1: This is the show where the mission or mission is
Speaker 1: to decode what really matters with passionable intelligence. Make no mistake, America,
Speaker 1: You're a great American. Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins,
Speaker 1: He's a great guy. No, the capital has been breached
Speaker 1: and now the capital is on blockdown. It is a
Speaker 1: very dark or very challenging day America. This was not
Speaker 1: supposed to happen. This should not have happened. And I
Speaker 1: continue to look at this and just the the frustration,
Speaker 1: the anger because I know what people were doing in
Speaker 1: DC today. I know why there were tens or perhaps
Speaker 1: hundreds of thous thousands of patriots gathered in DC. They
Speaker 1: believe that they had a stolen election. They believe that
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party continues to have two sets of rules
Speaker 1: in the way the media treats us, in the way
Speaker 1: the laws are applied, and in the cancel culture and
Speaker 1: the authoritarian elements of wokeness and now taking over corporate America.
Speaker 1: It's in the corporate boardroom, it's in your kids classrooms,
Speaker 1: it's all over the place, and they've had enough and
Speaker 1: they feel helpless. But the people who are out there,
Speaker 1: the people who have decided to take it upon themselves
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, to go after in this way, to
Speaker 1: go after the Capitol building and to breach its defenses
Speaker 1: and to attack law enforcement officers. They're wrong. What they're
Speaker 1: doing only hurts the movement. What they're doing only makes
Speaker 1: things worse for everyone. And the President has said that
Speaker 1: they should disperse himself and that they should be peaceful,
Speaker 1: but they weren't entirely peaceful. Now this is hijacking the
Speaker 1: very understandable the frustrations of so many others. I mean,
Speaker 1: if we're let's say there were and I don't know
Speaker 1: the number, No one really knows the exact number. Let's
Speaker 1: say there were one hundred thousand people who gathered in
Speaker 1: DC today and I'm just guessing. Don't take me whatever
Speaker 1: the number may be. Perhaps there were five hundred or
Speaker 1: a thousand who stormed Capitol Hill. And yet, now, what
Speaker 1: is going to be the storyline of this day of
Speaker 1: certification of the twenty twenty vote. What are we going
Speaker 1: to hear? What will the Democrat controlled media say about
Speaker 1: the entire movement, not just those who crossed the red line,
Speaker 1: who transgressed here, understand this, It's going to be largely
Speaker 1: viewed through just the political lens I'm talking to you about.
Speaker 1: They're not going to say, oh, there were people that
Speaker 1: were down there who were peaceful. I can see them
Speaker 1: on TV in real time right now, people who are
Speaker 1: being peaceful, who are down there and doing exactly what
Speaker 1: we would expect our fellow Americans to do, which is
Speaker 1: raise their voices, hold up their placards, but do so
Speaker 1: with respect for the law and with respect for the system.
Speaker 1: Because as conservatives, as people on the right, we have
Speaker 1: to remain in the right, and that means respecting the
Speaker 1: rule of law. That means being people who can be
Speaker 1: counted on. You know, it was really disappointing to see
Speaker 1: law enforcement attack today by conservatives and then even seeing
Speaker 1: some others on social media at least who were saying, well,
Speaker 1: you know, the cops shouldn't have been in the way,
Speaker 1: or well, the no, that's disgraceful. Do we back the
Speaker 1: blue or not. Do we believe in law and order
Speaker 1: or not? We have principles. Whether the other side does
Speaker 1: or not, it doesn't change for us. And the only person,
Speaker 1: the only people, I should say, who can give up
Speaker 1: the principles that we hold is us and we're not
Speaker 1: going to do that. We haven't done that. But we
Speaker 1: all need to speak with one voice about this because
Speaker 1: this should never have happened, not in America, not on
Speaker 1: my watch, not on yours. The election has so many
Speaker 1: questions around it still, and we have a hearing going
Speaker 1: on today. We have members of Congress raising those concerns,
Speaker 1: speaking about what they believe are unanswered questions about allegations
Speaker 1: of fraud. And this was all within the process. I've
Speaker 1: been all for it since the election. Let's investigate every
Speaker 1: allegation of fraud out there, Let's look at this. Let's
Speaker 1: make sure we compile the data, that we have the information,
Speaker 1: and that we bring it forward to court. Now I
Speaker 1: understand there's this impulse and you're seeing this now from
Speaker 1: many on the right to say, well, they do these
Speaker 1: bad things, so now we somehow don't have to call
Speaker 1: it out when it's among those who are ostensibly our own.
Speaker 1: And I'm not even dealing yet with I know there
Speaker 1: are allegations out there as well of agents, agents provocateur,
Speaker 1: that there are people who are false flags in this crowd.
Speaker 1: We don't know that. I can't tell you that because
Speaker 1: I can't prove it, and it doesn't look like it
Speaker 1: from what I've seen so far. But I'll tell you this,
Speaker 1: if it were just false flags, why are so many
Speaker 1: people online saying that they in some way support this
Speaker 1: or in some way justify this. There's no justification for this.
Speaker 1: All this does is hurt our side. All this does
Speaker 1: is make everything more or difficult, every political battle that
Speaker 1: we fight, all of it. And that's I think the
Speaker 1: ultimate irony and tragedy of the situation is that we
Speaker 1: have so many who think that what they're doing here,
Speaker 1: and when I say so many hundreds, perhaps thousands in DC,
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, they think that this is helping,
Speaker 1: when in fact they have done more damage. And this
Speaker 1: is why I believe there's so many people whose mind
Speaker 1: immediately goes to false flag. I'm not saying they're wrong,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying no proof of that yet, but so
Speaker 1: many people's minds go to false flag operation with this
Speaker 1: because they understand and totally right away. This is disastrous
Speaker 1: for MAGA, This is disastrous for a political future, for Trump,
Speaker 1: for Trump supporters. Now, it's not the end. I'm not
Speaker 1: sitting here saying the sky is falling down and that
Speaker 1: America is coming apart. We will get through this, but
Speaker 1: we need to be honest and clear eyed about exactly
Speaker 1: what has gone on here. This is where we draw
Speaker 1: the line. This is where we hold the line. We
Speaker 1: say no to this kind of behavior because we have
Speaker 1: to be better than the other side. I know about
Speaker 1: please BLM. I when there were Trump people, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna tell you this, when there were Trump people in June,
Speaker 1: including some of his top advisors, some of them not
Speaker 1: such great advisors, kind of tell you some of his
Speaker 1: top advisors saying that we should we should make concessions
Speaker 1: to BLM, and that we should have police reform Republicans,
Speaker 1: not just Trump advisors, Republicans and elected office. We should
Speaker 1: reform the police. Maybe we should rename some towns and cities,
Speaker 1: or some military bases, or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 1: Let's just let's try to buy off the BLM movement
Speaker 1: with some of these gestures. And I was saying, no,
Speaker 1: you don't give in to a movement that uses violence, intimidation, instruction,
Speaker 1: and lawlessness to get its way. You don't do that.
Speaker 1: And now we see that that was clearly only going
Speaker 1: to encourage the BLM movement and the media excuse them,
Speaker 1: and the Democrat Party embraced it, and they pandered and
Speaker 1: it was disgraceful. I mean, it was a summer of disgrace.
Speaker 1: Yet somehow, and I know a lot of you think
Speaker 1: it's because they cheated. I know you believe that, and
Speaker 1: I think there was cheating too. I just need the
Speaker 1: proof so that we can actually win in the system.
Speaker 1: If we abandon the system. I'm gonna tell you this
Speaker 1: right now, if we go full o Lynsky and try
Speaker 1: to overturn everything and nothing counts anymore, if we go
Speaker 1: with some kind of a populous right wing nihilism. You
Speaker 1: know who's really good at breaking principles, violating laws, intimidating
Speaker 1: people and getting their way through force, the left. And
Speaker 1: you know what our shield is against that that we
Speaker 1: adhere to the rule of law, and that we are
Speaker 1: better than that, and we have been and we will
Speaker 1: continue to be. Today is a massive, massive blunder on
Speaker 1: the part of those who did this, and we need
Speaker 1: to say that. And I'm just I'm here, I'm sharing
Speaker 1: my honest frustrations with you because I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: and I've been talking about this in recent days, about
Speaker 1: how we mount something similar to the Tea Party, where
Speaker 1: we mobilize, we organize. We are resisting the encroachments on liberty.
Speaker 1: We are resisting the unconstitutional actions. But we're doing so
Speaker 1: in ways that we're all proud of. And I it's
Speaker 1: so unfair, isn't it. You know? I describe the people
Speaker 1: storming the capital as being selfish, because you know what
Speaker 1: they've done. They've created an opening for everyone else. The
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of my fellow patriots and Americans and
Speaker 1: many many people I know in DC. I have personal
Speaker 1: friends at the rally, not storming the Capitol, but at
Speaker 1: the rally today. Some of them will call in today
Speaker 1: over the course of the show and tell us what
Speaker 1: they saw. But what they stood for and what they
Speaker 1: were hoping for has been hijacked by this group of
Speaker 1: what do we even call them? What do they think
Speaker 1: they're accomplishing here? They really believe that this is going
Speaker 1: to overturn the result. They're posting photos and video on
Speaker 1: social media. You can see this. God, it would be
Speaker 1: great if we found out that these were actually, you know,
Speaker 1: Antifa activists or something posing as Trump supporters. But it's
Speaker 1: quite an operation if they pull that one off, and
Speaker 1: we have no proof of it yet. We need proof
Speaker 1: we are. Unlike the left, we also rely on things
Speaker 1: like evidence to make our claims. We don't just say
Speaker 1: things we don't have whisper campaigns and then weaponize the
Speaker 1: DOJ like they did against Trump, use the deep state
Speaker 1: and the classified back room. Oh, I can't tell you
Speaker 1: about that. You're not cleared for it part as an ambush.
Speaker 1: That's what the Hillary supporting deep staters did. No, we
Speaker 1: do it all out in the open. We tell people
Speaker 1: what we want, who we are, what we're all about.
Speaker 1: And I can appreciate in every way. I was thinking
Speaker 1: about how I had so many good friends going to
Speaker 1: this rally, and that this was the beginning of something
Speaker 1: like the Tea Party, which everyone should be so everyone
Speaker 1: on the right should be to this day so proud
Speaker 1: of what the Tea Party accomplished, which was massive political
Speaker 1: mobilization that was not only peaceful, but was successful and
Speaker 1: was orderly. I mean it even went above the law abiding.
Speaker 1: I mean the Tea Party didn't even leave litter behind
Speaker 1: them for the most part. I mean, the Tea Party
Speaker 1: was a movement that people really could be and should
Speaker 1: have been proud of. And there was and there still is,
Speaker 1: I believe in opening for something like that. Now, look,
Speaker 1: we didn't win these Georgia Senate seats. Yeah, something else
Speaker 1: can come up and maybe and you know, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you this, I've been saying for weeks now,
Speaker 1: I want us to fight this to the end and
Speaker 1: we use the process and do everything we can within
Speaker 1: the process to both get the true results, the accurate
Speaker 1: results of the election, and also to yes, slow the
Speaker 1: Biden administration down. But there are places we cannot go through,
Speaker 1: our lines that we cannot cross. I know you're not
Speaker 1: doing it, and I'm not doing it. But what was
Speaker 1: troubling to you today wasn't only this assault on the Congress.
Speaker 1: And that's what this was. I mean, this was not
Speaker 1: just some rally somewhere. This was in the United States Capital.
Speaker 1: This was people scaling the walls. It looked like something
Speaker 1: be honest with yourself, you know what. It looked like
Speaker 1: something out of a third world Banana Republic dictator ship.
Speaker 1: People scaling the walls, and people say, you know that,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the election isn't going to count anymore.
Speaker 1: And guns drawn in the Capitol, their reports still of
Speaker 1: a woman being shot in the neck out make sure
Speaker 1: I check in and make and see what the last
Speaker 1: is on that one. But blood on the steps of
Speaker 1: on the floor of Congress, because some people took it
Speaker 1: upon themselves to ruin so much of the good work
Speaker 1: that's been done by MAGA, by the Trump administration, by
Speaker 1: the people who are pushing for an America First agenda
Speaker 1: that all of us, including the Democrats and the leftists
Speaker 1: who absolutely despised Trump, could share in. We actually want
Speaker 1: a better, safer, happier, freer country. This isn't just about
Speaker 1: my team their team. It's not political tribalism. It's supposed
Speaker 1: to be about what's best for the country. And that's
Speaker 1: what MAGA at its core, is rooted in. This today
Speaker 1: is the opposite of MAGA. What we saw at capitol.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about all the protesters. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: those who storm the Capitol. And let's be very clear
Speaker 1: about this too. What was the favorite tactic of the
Speaker 1: left during the BLM protests. What was their favorite thing
Speaker 1: that they said? Up, you're in the freedom This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Mayhem at the Capitol
Speaker 1: earlier today. Quote, I'm asking for everyone at the Capitol
Speaker 1: to remain peaceful, no violence, Remember we are the party
Speaker 1: of law and order, respect the law, and our great
Speaker 1: men and women in blue, thank you. That is the
Speaker 1: right message here from the president. And we need to
Speaker 1: understand that, for example, those law enforcement officers on Capitol
Speaker 1: Hill who are protecting our members of Congress, Republican and
Speaker 1: Democrat as they as they darn well should, they're doing
Speaker 1: their job and there there is nothing about what was
Speaker 1: happening today where cops. I mean, there's a lot of video,
Speaker 1: you can see it. Cops are being attacked, cops are
Speaker 1: being pepper sprayed. This this is what we expect from
Speaker 1: the other side. This is what we expect from the left.
Speaker 1: I will say, I'm very I'm very heartened by the
Speaker 1: fact that conservatives, the conservatives that I know who are
Speaker 1: not only great minds and an excellent broadcasters and thinkers,
Speaker 1: but but I also know personally are good people. They're
Speaker 1: all just saying, look, this is this is unacceptable. We
Speaker 1: condemn this. This isn't a condemnation, but it isn't what
Speaker 1: the left does. And that's the big separation. What did
Speaker 1: they always say about BLM all summer this past summer
Speaker 1: and they've done it before too. Oh it was a
Speaker 1: mostly peaceful protest, and that was what they hid behind,
Speaker 1: not dealing with the reality of what had actually happened
Speaker 1: and standing in front of buildings on fire and saying, oh, well,
Speaker 1: until this, it was great. Now. They do that because
Speaker 1: they don't want to offend their constituents, being the left,
Speaker 1: the socialist, the Antifa, BLM. They don't want to upset
Speaker 1: them and their audience at places like C and A
Speaker 1: AN MSNBC are very very favorable to those groups, if
Speaker 1: they're not even a part of them themselves. They like
Speaker 1: those groups a lot, so they always give this out.
Speaker 1: They always have this on the one hand, on the
Speaker 1: other or halfhearted description of this. I'm here to tell
Speaker 1: you people that showed up today in in DC to
Speaker 1: protest what they feel as a stolen election, and the
Speaker 1: ones who were abiding by the laws and were respecting
Speaker 1: their fellow Americans, God bless them. And that's right within
Speaker 1: the American American tradition. Period. The people that stormed the
Speaker 1: Capitol building and attacked police officers and took selfies on
Speaker 1: the floor of Congress after have to be evacuated and
Speaker 1: at Capitol Hill police pulling their guns. They don't know
Speaker 1: what this is. They don't know if they're gonna These
Speaker 1: rioters are going to do something far more violent than
Speaker 1: just breaking in the windows, which is bad enough on
Speaker 1: its own. Those people are their actions should be condemned
Speaker 1: unequivocally fully, and I do, and all of us should.
Speaker 1: Those actions were wrong, wrong, and the President is telling
Speaker 1: them that they're wrong. I do wish we'd have a
Speaker 1: little bit more forcefulness from him on this. I'm just
Speaker 1: going to say it. And I understand how upsetting, not
Speaker 1: just to not just the last few days have been,
Speaker 1: but also ever since November. I understand that there are
Speaker 1: people out there who feel like they're loose in their country.
Speaker 1: But there's a way to fight against this. Thanks for

Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts, at the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get

Speaker 1: That's what's on CNN dot com right now. It's exactly
Speaker 1: the kind of headline that everyone at CNN who hates
Speaker 1: Trump is thrilled to see. I can tell you that
Speaker 1: I want to bring in my friend John Cardillo now
Speaker 1: he's x NYPD's a conservative commentator, radio host and buddy
Speaker 1: of mine. John, it's a tough day. I appreciate you joining. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, very tough day, said day for America. And
Speaker 1: you're right, CNN's going to sensationalize these headlines. Right when
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter and Antifa were out there destroying businesses,
Speaker 1: destroying the cities, channing for the police to be killed,
Speaker 1: they were called peaceful protesters. This is a mob. This
Speaker 1: is a violent mob. And look, I don't you know, Buck,
Speaker 1: I don't condone a lot of what we're seeing. My
Speaker 1: terrorism is terrorism, no matter who does it it, We
Speaker 1: on the right at least call it as we see it.
Speaker 1: The left fails to do that, and I think it's
Speaker 1: important that we always maintain that principle. I mean, one
Speaker 1: reason that I can sit here and I did, and John,
Speaker 1: you and I were talking. It's one of the reason
Speaker 1: I want to bring you on. When BLM was happening,
Speaker 1: When when police stations were being literally burned down in
Speaker 1: places like Minnesota, and businesses looted and and all that
Speaker 1: mayhem was happening, I was able to say, not only
Speaker 1: is this completely unacceptable, but this is what their side
Speaker 1: does and they need to own that, meaning the Democrats
Speaker 1: and the left. What happened today makes that much harder,
Speaker 1: and that means it helps the people who want to
Speaker 1: loot and destroy buildings and act out violently. Yeah. Look,
Speaker 1: but this is nothing new, right, I mean, think about it.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump pardons some you know, white color criminals that
Speaker 1: the media is that the flect think. Barack Obama pardons
Speaker 1: fal and Terry Aristosco Lopez Rivera, who was aligned to
Speaker 1: the group responsible for a one hundred and thirty bombings
Speaker 1: in the United States, the Puerto Ricanseparatist Group, many of
Speaker 1: them police stations. He was best of friends with Bernadine
Speaker 1: Dorn and Glaire's The Weather Underground that specifically bombed police stations.
Speaker 1: And we were called right wing conspiracy theory nut jobs
Speaker 1: for pointing out these pardons of commutations. Actually, in the
Speaker 1: case of Lopez Rivera, we were called right wing nut
Speaker 1: job conspiracy theorists for pointing that stuff out. So the
Speaker 1: left has always owned the media. We know that, but
Speaker 1: they're very subjective in their narrative. And you're right, it's
Speaker 1: only going to get worse going forward. What do you
Speaker 1: think the president's response has been today? Would how would
Speaker 1: you assess it? And what should what do you think
Speaker 1: you should do going forward. Now we've only got a
Speaker 1: few weeks before the inauguration is supposed to happen. What
Speaker 1: should the president's tone be? Well, look, I think the
Speaker 1: video he put out was fine. He said he did
Speaker 1: something more than any prominent national Democrats ever done. In
Speaker 1: the midst of the unrest. He told people stop go home,
Speaker 1: we need peace, we need law and order. Did Joe
Speaker 1: Biden do that? When BLM and N t for a riding.
Speaker 1: Did Kamala Harris to Chuck Schumer to Nancy Pelosi? The
Speaker 1: list goes on and on. You don't have enough time
Speaker 1: on air tonight. But I thought Trump did the right thing,
Speaker 1: and he reiterated that. He reinforced it with a follow
Speaker 1: up tweet thing, we need peace, sweet harmony, we need
Speaker 1: law and order. And so I think he needs to
Speaker 1: carry on that team. But I have to tell you, Buck,
Speaker 1: I do believe this election was stolen. I do believe
Speaker 1: there was massive fraud. I do believe the irregularities. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna look, I don't remember, going back to being a
Speaker 1: little kid at any other point in history when it
Speaker 1: took two three weeks months to call an election. Election
Speaker 1: Day was two months ago. New York twenty two. The
Speaker 1: congressional district still isn'tformally called. There's something very troubling about that,
Speaker 1: and it weeks of problems in the electoral process. So
Speaker 1: I hope Donald Trump uses his mega brand to both
Speaker 1: shine up bright light on that going forward and to
Speaker 1: back more America First candidates both with money and end
Speaker 1: his media spotlight in the twenty two interns. Well, I
Speaker 1: think you raised a very important point. We're speaking of
Speaker 1: John Cardilo, x NYPD officer and also conservative commentator and
Speaker 1: has been a right along there with me, a very
Speaker 1: strong supporter of Trump and the MAGA movement now for
Speaker 1: for four going on five years. And and John, you know,
Speaker 1: we we see this kind of situation happen, and we
Speaker 1: see the way that it's obviously going to be exploited
Speaker 1: by the left for their own purposes. Now right now
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to tar the entire movement. Now they're
Speaker 1: gonna come after every oh, everyone is responsible for all
Speaker 1: of this. I mean one area where I do think
Speaker 1: you know their need we need to speak with one voice,
Speaker 1: is we can't you know, we can't back the blue.
Speaker 1: Sometimes there was a lot of video of cops getting attacked.
Speaker 1: Those cops were doing their jobs. Yeah, oh absolutely. Look
Speaker 1: the Capitol Police in particular, very small department, a professional department,
Speaker 1: and EI I really didn't like the optics of what
Speaker 1: I saw there with the capital being storm and these
Speaker 1: cops being overrun, and then the response was predictable, right,
Speaker 1: so we wound up happening. DJ then brought in tactical
Speaker 1: teams from the other federal agencies FBI, DAATF, Homeland Security,
Speaker 1: and they're always going to supplement. You have a lot
Speaker 1: of law enforcement, a lot of gun and badge carriers
Speaker 1: around the DC area, so it's you know, they're going
Speaker 1: to deploy back up immediately. But the optics of that
Speaker 1: were terrible for our people. I really was disappointed seeing that.
Speaker 1: And you know, we have, you raise something very important
Speaker 1: when we talk about the way elections have been changing,
Speaker 1: and there's clearly something that is different now about these
Speaker 1: elections because of the ways that in the COVID year
Speaker 1: in particular, they've expanded voting and all this other stuff
Speaker 1: that's going on. You know, we have processes and say
Speaker 1: the judicial system, things like recusal where it's not even
Speaker 1: someone has a conflict of interest, it's avoiding the appearance
Speaker 1: of a conflict of interest. Right, It's not that the
Speaker 1: judge can't do their job, it's that we all have
Speaker 1: to believe the judge can do the job without a
Speaker 1: complicate interest. That same a principle applies to elections. That's
Speaker 1: why having this delay and oh they're gonna stop counting
Speaker 1: and we're gonna mail in and we're gonna have these
Speaker 1: ballot boxes. That erodes fundamental trust in the system. Oh
Speaker 1: terribly terribly. I mean I think it erodes it to
Speaker 1: an interpertable degree. Now, look, and there are provisions in
Speaker 1: the Georgia Constitution, that's say, and Georgia state law the
Speaker 1: governor can't involve himself in the process. However, Brian Kemp
Speaker 1: was free to comment on the irregularities. He was free
Speaker 1: to say things just look really dirty, as was Raffensburger,
Speaker 1: as was Gary Stirlely, and none of them did. So
Speaker 1: what did people feel? While people felt they were complicit,
Speaker 1: people felt they were owned. Now, I don't know if
Speaker 1: any of those theories are true. Right, I'm not a
Speaker 1: guy who speculates. I don't like you. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think one of the reasons we get along. So what
Speaker 1: we deal in facts even if things fire us up.
Speaker 1: But I will tell you it's sure looks bad. It
Speaker 1: looks bad. And when a county in Georgia, in the
Speaker 1: midst of everything that went on in the general presidential election,
Speaker 1: decides to stop counting votes at eight pm, nine pm
Speaker 1: in the governor and Secretary of State, who are under
Speaker 1: scrutiny and suspicion, remains silent about that. They don't even
Speaker 1: issue a statement saying, hey, we don't have the power
Speaker 1: to do anything, but we think this is a real
Speaker 1: bad idea and maybe you guys should count through the night. Well, man,
Speaker 1: it certainly lends to the theories that are floating around
Speaker 1: out there. It certainly doesn't help their position. John Cardil
Speaker 1: everybody formerly of the MYPD follow him on social media
Speaker 1: for not already on parlor on Twitter. John, thanks so much, man,
Speaker 1: good to talk to you, as always always great Buck,
Speaker 1: thanks man. So here we are friends, dealing with what
Speaker 1: was a what should have been a day of Republican unity,
Speaker 1: speaking with one voice about the questions and allegations and
Speaker 1: just the depressing feeling that we have about this election.
Speaker 1: I see this the same way that so many of
Speaker 1: you do. And now that we have the Senate seats
Speaker 1: that are being called for war knock and us off
Speaker 1: control of the Senate as well. But this adds to
Speaker 1: this is another problem. The timing of this is going
Speaker 1: to be. It's even worse given the transfer of power
Speaker 1: into Democrat hands. Right now, you're in the freedom hunt.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. I know
Speaker 1: that social media companies are entirely in the pocket of
Speaker 1: the DNC. I know that they've engaged in unprecedented suppression
Speaker 1: of free speech this year, and they've been doing it
Speaker 1: for a while, but now they're just they're quite open
Speaker 1: about it. Now. They have no qualms about straight up
Speaker 1: saying that you're not allowed to say question lockdowns. I've
Speaker 1: been the target of some of this on social media
Speaker 1: from the companies, I mean, from random people, and I've
Speaker 1: got to tell you, this is unbelievable. Even with all
Speaker 1: of that. I was about to play for you just now.
Speaker 1: I was about to play for you the President's about
Speaker 1: minute and twenty second long speech that he released while
Speaker 1: they were still clearing out Capitol Hill. Of these these rioters,
Speaker 1: and that's what they are breaking into a building or
Speaker 1: the rioters protesters are the people who were out on
Speaker 1: the streets obeying the law and being good citizens and
Speaker 1: good Americans. Rioters are the people breaking into the building.
Speaker 1: And we understand these differences. The left, the Democrats don't.
Speaker 1: We do understand them, and we will call this out.
Speaker 1: But I was going to play for you this Trump
Speaker 1: comment where he calls for everyone to be peaceful and
Speaker 1: he but he says the election was stolen. Twitter has
Speaker 1: taken it down a statement from just now, just minutes ago.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was ready to que this up and
Speaker 1: play it for you off the President's Twitter account, and
Speaker 1: one of the biggest and most powerful social media companies
Speaker 1: in the world has decided that they will not allow
Speaker 1: they will not allow for this to be hurt anymore.
Speaker 1: The president of the United States. It's a it's an
Speaker 1: official statement from him. But to use Twitter because it's
Speaker 1: a mechanism platform. I mean, this is how different is
Speaker 1: this from if if you know, Google didn't let you
Speaker 1: get to the Whitehouse, dot gov or something. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is crazy, but you know why, because he said
Speaker 1: that there is a there was a stolen election, and
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to say that. And one of the
Speaker 1: problems we after one of the things that we are
Speaker 1: seeing is that the suppression of ideas like this, the
Speaker 1: suppression of free speech that we are seeing here, results
Speaker 1: in even more anger and frustration and lack of trust
Speaker 1: in the system. When social media companies tell you you
Speaker 1: can't question as they have to me lockdowns for COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen for example, that makes me want to question them
Speaker 1: even more. And when social media companies tell people that
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to say I thought we had free
Speaker 1: speech in America. That means the freedom to be wrong.
Speaker 1: Even that means the freedom to say things that may
Speaker 1: in fact be untrue. And where was all this fact
Speaker 1: checking during the four years of Russia collusion? Lies, lying
Speaker 1: about the president as a traitor, lying about the president
Speaker 1: working with the Russians to steal the last election. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they didn't have left left wing people stormed the Capitol.
Speaker 1: They did have Antifa rioting on an Auguration Day. They
Speaker 1: did have deep state actors fabricating evidence, lying and working
Speaker 1: with the Democrats and the media behind the scenes to
Speaker 1: create this grounds for a special Counsel around Russia collusion
Speaker 1: that only a moron could have actually believed it occurred.
Speaker 1: But they did it, they used it. They slowed down
Speaker 1: Trump's agenda. They greatly harmed his presidency and with it,
Speaker 1: the American people by perpetuating that lie, by engaging in
Speaker 1: that lie. Unbelievable stuff. Though. I mean, I'm sitting here
Speaker 1: and I want I wanted to tell you about this.
Speaker 1: I wanted to play it for you, and sure enough,
Speaker 1: right as I'm about to it's pulled off Twitter. Now
Speaker 1: we can, in fact, you know, I do want you
Speaker 1: to hear it, and so I've had I've had the
Speaker 1: ability now to reach out and get one of our
Speaker 1: one of our production team to pull to pull the
Speaker 1: MP three and here it is, Paine. I know you're hurt.
Speaker 1: We had an election that was stolen from us. It
Speaker 1: was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the
Speaker 1: other side. But you have to go home now. We
Speaker 1: have to have peace. We have to have law and order.
Speaker 1: We have to respect our great people in law and order.
Speaker 1: We don't want anybody hurt. It's a very tough period
Speaker 1: of time. There's never been a time like this where
Speaker 1: such a thing happened where they could take it away
Speaker 1: from all of us, from me, from you, from our country.
Speaker 1: This was a fraudulent election. But we can't play into
Speaker 1: the hands of these people. We have to have peace.
Speaker 1: So go home. We love you. You're very special. You've
Speaker 1: seen what happens. You see the way others are treated
Speaker 1: that are so bad and so evil. I know how
Speaker 1: you feel. But go home and go home in peace.
Speaker 1: Go home and go home in peace. That's happening. It
Speaker 1: looks like the capital at least has been cleared as
Speaker 1: I'm speaking to you right now. But the point that
Speaker 1: he made there about playing into their hands, I think
Speaker 1: that really needs to be emphasized. We have now a
Speaker 1: Democrat takeover of the federal government underway through elections, which,
Speaker 1: whether you think they're real or not, they're the only
Speaker 1: I mean, whether you think they're fair or not, that's
Speaker 1: the only thing we've got. That is the system we have.
Speaker 1: There's not some alternative now. Unless we can present nuclear
Speaker 1: option level proof here, nothing is going to change. Biden
Speaker 1: Harris are going to be president and vice president, and
Speaker 1: you're going to have a Democrat, well a fifty fifty
Speaker 1: tie in the Senate. That's an effective Democrat majority. When
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris as President of the Senate because she's vice president,
Speaker 1: becomes the tie breaking vote, and obviously Nancy Pelosi speaker
Speaker 1: of a house. I know, friends, this is all very disappointing,
Speaker 1: but they have been given a gift now politically speaking,
Speaker 1: because once they take power and they are on the
Speaker 1: verge of it, everybody who is associated with the Trump movement,
Speaker 1: everyone who wants to push the ideas of America first
Speaker 1: and be a critic, be a block on the Biden
Speaker 1: Harris left wing agenda, is now going to be saddled
Speaker 1: with this idiocy of attacking the Capitol Building in this way.
Speaker 1: And look, I know that they didn't storm it all
Speaker 1: with machine guns, and this isn't a coup, and they're
Speaker 1: over they're they're exaggerating in the left here. What really
Speaker 1: happened today. This wasn't they're they're calling it a you know,
Speaker 1: a terrorist takeover to no, but it was a it
Speaker 1: was an unlawful protest. It was a riot. It turned
Speaker 1: into a riot, and the people responsible should be held
Speaker 1: to account legally. And it's incumbent upon all of us
Speaker 1: to protect our movement, to protect our ideas, our honor.
Speaker 1: It's this is a point too. I have a lot
Speaker 1: of people that when this first happened, and I'm not
Speaker 1: one who is prone to profanity, but I let something,
Speaker 1: let something go on social media today because you know,
Speaker 1: knock this blank out, guys, was what I was saying
Speaker 1: as soon as I saw that they had breached and
Speaker 1: they were running around Capitol Hill, and people are coming
Speaker 1: at me saying, oh, what happened. I thought I thought
Speaker 1: you were maga, I thought you were Trump supporter. No,
Speaker 1: it's because I support the Trump agenda. It's because so
Speaker 1: many of us support the Trump movement and what that
Speaker 1: would mean, what the ideas and the policies would do
Speaker 1: for the country, that I continue to do this. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening to the Buses and Show podcast. Remember to
Speaker 1: subscribe on Apple Podcast, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. We have Will Ricardella joining us
Speaker 1: now from from DC. He is on the ground. He's
Speaker 1: with the Washington Examiner. Will thank you so much for
Speaker 1: joining us. Yeah, thanks for having me. Buck. All right, man,
Speaker 1: you're down there, you're around it, you're seeing it. What's
Speaker 1: going on. Well, the Capitol's pretty well secured now. The
Speaker 1: sirens are starting to die down. But what started out
Speaker 1: as a very peaceful gathering rally kind of you know,
Speaker 1: was very chaotic when people left the you know, the
Speaker 1: ellipse in front of the White House and walked down
Speaker 1: to the to the Capitol building. UM, I don't think
Speaker 1: DC certainly wasn't prepared for the vast amount of people
Speaker 1: there were. There was a few hundred thousand people here.
Speaker 1: It was incredible how many people there were, and it
Speaker 1: was very easy for it was ripe for bad actors
Speaker 1: to hijack that. They weren't prepared at the capital for
Speaker 1: this many people, and the vast majority were peaceful. Um.
Speaker 1: I was there at the most chaotic of times. I
Speaker 1: was able to walk around. There were no problems. I
Speaker 1: didn't see any property damaged outside the Capitol. There were
Speaker 1: people had cars parked there. I didn't see anybody breaking
Speaker 1: car windows, rocking car setting fire to cars. There were
Speaker 1: no I didn't see any businesses damaged around the Capitol.
Speaker 1: Most of it was focused inside the Capitol. People who
Speaker 1: breached the Capitol. You know. Well, I did ask a
Speaker 1: friend right beforehand. I was I was texting as we
Speaker 1: were in a commercial break, and I was texting a
Speaker 1: friend who was there, and I said, look, man, I
Speaker 1: know that you're going to tell me the truth and
Speaker 1: you're gonna know what's up. I said, were there were
Speaker 1: there any false flags in there? He said, Look, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I wouldn't be surprised, but he said, I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, there absolutely were people that are that
Speaker 1: think that think that they are Trump supporters who were
Speaker 1: not only in the in the crowd that that that
Speaker 1: breached the perimeter of the Capitol, but they were the
Speaker 1: majority of it. Well what do you make of this?
Speaker 1: I mean, are are you? Are you shocked at this happened?
Speaker 1: Or did you feel that that this one was coming?
Speaker 1: I'm not shocked, and I can't What I can't tell
Speaker 1: you is I see this Antifa rumor. I didn't see antifa.
Speaker 1: I didn't see blm um. And the people who I
Speaker 1: saw at the Capitol were there in the morning. Um,
Speaker 1: I saw them in the street. Were there people that
Speaker 1: looked at a place there? Yes? Um, But is that
Speaker 1: enough evidence to say, oh, Antifa hijacked. I didn't see that.
Speaker 1: I Look, these are people. This is a cross section
Speaker 1: of America. This is the American working class or black people,
Speaker 1: white people of Asian people of all ages. There are
Speaker 1: people on scooters, all elderly people there. I saw people
Speaker 1: with canes and walkers. Um. There was a lot of
Speaker 1: women young women, older women, older men, younger men. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, it was when I got to the Capitol building.
Speaker 1: The people who were outside were very peaceful. It was
Speaker 1: the people who were inside. And look, this is a
Speaker 1: matter of the DC police, DC Metro and Capitol Hill
Speaker 1: police being overwhelmed. So again, could this have been handled
Speaker 1: better by the city. Absolutely, I just don't think that
Speaker 1: they were stating that they couldn't. They could foresee how
Speaker 1: the frustration the American people. I mean, these people traveled
Speaker 1: hundreds of miles, thousands of miles in some cases, either
Speaker 1: are everyday working people. I think that their frustration really
Speaker 1: hasn't been elucidated properly by any of the commentary after
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, COVID really took away a
Speaker 1: lot of their livelihoods. And I heard them talking about it,
Speaker 1: that they were frustrated over the lockdowns and what it
Speaker 1: did to their bottom line and what it did too
Speaker 1: and the election and and and and you know, the
Speaker 1: lawlessness of a kind of bread during the election season,
Speaker 1: and with the last minute rule changes, and they feel
Speaker 1: like they're frustrated and they don't feel like they're being heard,
Speaker 1: and you know, it was I wasn't shocked in the
Speaker 1: morning because I saw how many people there and I thought,
Speaker 1: this is way too many people. Something bad is bound
Speaker 1: to happen. We're speaking of Will rot Cardella. He is
Speaker 1: at the Washington Examiner's down in DC right now and
Speaker 1: not far from where all this stuff has been going
Speaker 1: down all day to day. You know, Will, You mentioned
Speaker 1: the lockdowns, and you and I have been talking about
Speaker 1: this from the very beginning of the lockdowns on air,
Speaker 1: and there's a clear not only is there a divide
Speaker 1: between the elites and the people that haven't missed a
Speaker 1: paycheck and are comfort working from home. Some of them
Speaker 1: even prefer the work set up right. There are a
Speaker 1: lot of people that say, hey, now I've got this
Speaker 1: virtual life and I don't have to commune anymore. And
Speaker 1: they are oftentimes, especially in the media and the journalist,
Speaker 1: there's some of the biggest advocates for lockdown. And I
Speaker 1: do think, and I talk to peop about this, there's
Speaker 1: a sense among many Trump supporters, and I'm sure many
Speaker 1: of them who were today in DC, that there was
Speaker 1: also a willingness to it's obvious to use lockdowns in
Speaker 1: this year of twenty twenty as a tool to to
Speaker 1: make the country miserable and therefore more likely to vote
Speaker 1: against Trump, to effectively blame him for all of it.
Speaker 1: And I think there's a tremendous resentment over that because
Speaker 1: they made people suffer more than they had to so
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden could win. Well, you bring up a
Speaker 1: couple of points some we talked about on your show
Speaker 1: when I said Democratic governors hijack the economy, and there
Speaker 1: was a story in Politico saying, look, they were terrified
Speaker 1: that the economy would pick back up prior to the
Speaker 1: election and what that might mean for Trump's reelection chances.
Speaker 1: So I think that's somewhat empirical that that's why they
Speaker 1: did it. Now they're looking for a large bailout from Congress,
Speaker 1: in which many states just got. So yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: definitely part of it. But we have to look at
Speaker 1: the past five years. I mean, these are the people
Speaker 1: that elected Trump. When Trump gets in, you have the
Speaker 1: previous administration going after him, spying on his campaign. The
Speaker 1: opposition party created a dossier at a nowhere of no evidence,
Speaker 1: They opened up investigations. There is a basically a coup
Speaker 1: at the levels of government started by the Obama administration.
Speaker 1: They launched investigations which tied Trump's hands behind his back
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the administration, so the people felt
Speaker 1: like they voted them in. And look what the left
Speaker 1: did to them. I mean they were lying, they were cheating,
Speaker 1: they were engaging in lawlessness to stop them. Then then
Speaker 1: you get into the Ukraine tobaccle where they engaging impeachment.
Speaker 1: These people don't feel like they've been heard. Then you
Speaker 1: take away their livelihoods. You say, lockdown, your job is
Speaker 1: not essential. You know what I mean, you're the problem.
Speaker 1: It's you don't wear masks. That's why it's spreading. And
Speaker 1: when they were fighting against lockdowns in May, they mocked them.
Speaker 1: They said, oh, you're threatening Whitmer and Michigan and look
Speaker 1: at these people. They can't it's their fault. It's spreading.
Speaker 1: And look, this was a big giant powder keg that
Speaker 1: was ready to explode. These people are frustrated, they don't
Speaker 1: feel like they're being heard. Then they're being mocked over
Speaker 1: the election irregularities and and and people are laughing at them.
Speaker 1: And one of the persons who was interviewed and said
Speaker 1: it has to stop. We feel like we're not a
Speaker 1: joke and you know, I think that's part of at
Speaker 1: eruption today. I'm not saying anyone who engaged in lawlessness
Speaker 1: disobeying a lawful order should be arrested, prosecuted to the
Speaker 1: highest degree of the law. Same thing with anyone who
Speaker 1: engaged in property damage should be arrested and put behind bars.
Speaker 1: I don't care how long. But I mean, there were
Speaker 1: legitimate people there who were extremely frustrated and very passionate
Speaker 1: and what do they want? Will because a lot of
Speaker 1: this was around the certification process today and that it
Speaker 1: felt like there was there was a hope that maybe
Speaker 1: Vice President Pence and he said he wasn't going to
Speaker 1: do anything. And Pence is you know, that guy's a
Speaker 1: man of his word. If he says he's not going
Speaker 1: to do it, he's not going to do it. But
Speaker 1: but what were they telling you? What were the people
Speaker 1: who were being lawful and respectful citizens but exercising their
Speaker 1: First Amendment rights? What do they want? What do they
Speaker 1: want to express? And essentially what they were saying was
Speaker 1: they were tired of abiding by lockdown orders. They were
Speaker 1: there was a there was an element of we will
Speaker 1: not comply anymore, that we do follow the law we
Speaker 1: are orderly. It's you who are lawless. It's you who
Speaker 1: are without order. And you know, and then you demand
Speaker 1: all of this from us. This is our house, you
Speaker 1: work for us. That was the real feeling from these people.
Speaker 1: It's saying, we're not going to take it anymore. And
Speaker 1: they came in vast numbers to show like, look, stop
Speaker 1: laughing at us, stop mocking us. We're serious people. We
Speaker 1: have lives too, and and and they were tired of
Speaker 1: their legislatures in the states changing laws in the last minute,
Speaker 1: and they feel like they have no voice, and that
Speaker 1: it was really a culmination of that. And that's what
Speaker 1: the people were really talking. These are every day American,
Speaker 1: working class Americans, people I grew up with, and that
Speaker 1: that was their sentiment that I picked up all day.
Speaker 1: I walked. I was there at five forty five in
Speaker 1: the morning. I left at four thirty pm. So I
Speaker 1: was walking. I was, I was, you know, walking among
Speaker 1: them the entire day, listening to what they were saying.
Speaker 1: I could I had, I could go wherever I wanted.
Speaker 1: Nobody bothered me on my phone out the entire day.
Speaker 1: And will you know, there were videos circulating and still
Speaker 1: are of some protesters, rioters attacking police officers, punching police
Speaker 1: officers and really getting involent with them. I mean, you
Speaker 1: saw a hole. You said, what you thought over one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, one hundred thousand people together, way easily easily
Speaker 1: wait over that. Yes, And and the the interactions that
Speaker 1: you witnessed, not at Capitol Hill. Im talking about elsewhere
Speaker 1: in DC. Elsewhere in the streets between protesters and police,
Speaker 1: what were they like, one hundred percent peaceful, one percent
Speaker 1: peaceful outside of the capitol. The breach of the Capitol
Speaker 1: is where everything happened. And it was those It was
Speaker 1: those bad actors that sparked that breach in the Capitol,
Speaker 1: people smashing the windows and breaching it. Not everybody did it.
Speaker 1: I mean, there were people who were out there and
Speaker 1: they kind of hijack the inauguration, like with a setup
Speaker 1: for the inauguration, and we're hanging out there and we're saying,
Speaker 1: you know, we're not going to take this anymore essentially
Speaker 1: and cheering um. But it was really the it was
Speaker 1: really the fact that the DC and I'm not blaming
Speaker 1: DC Metro. I mean, obviously there were bad actors here,
Speaker 1: but look, they did not have the proper set up
Speaker 1: to stop this, which made it rife for hijacking by
Speaker 1: very bad actors, and that's exactly what happened. Well, what
Speaker 1: do you think about the president's response and where do
Speaker 1: we where does the movement? I mean, it's about this
Speaker 1: is about more than even just Trump's words. Where does
Speaker 1: the movement go from here? Look, that's a good question.
Speaker 1: I don't think conservatives are really necessarily in that bad
Speaker 1: of a place. You know, you had fuel to the
Speaker 1: fire with Loffler and Purdue losing, and you have Democrats
Speaker 1: do have a majority. But you know, I think there
Speaker 1: was a lot of overreaction in the media to in
Speaker 1: particular among conservatives, to the victory. Look, there's good luck
Speaker 1: getting this this progressive agenda on board, and we're not
Speaker 1: talking enough about the left's radical agenda and how that
Speaker 1: kind of created this. You created this monster where they're saying,
Speaker 1: we're going to pack the courts, we're gonna you know,
Speaker 1: have Puerto Rico as a state, We're gonna have DC
Speaker 1: as a state. If we win the Senate, We're going
Speaker 1: to fundamentally change America. And that added fuel to the fire.
Speaker 1: I mean, people talk about Trump and Trump's rhetoric and
Speaker 1: a lot of the things he said are stupid, absolutely,
Speaker 1: but we never talk about you know, Warnock just got elected.
Speaker 1: Here's the guy who's an open semit, open anti semit.
Speaker 1: He's a socialist radical. I mean, he doesn't like America
Speaker 1: in particular. It is not like white people, you know.
Speaker 1: And here he is now in the Senate. And that's
Speaker 1: kind of the mentality of the entire Democratic Party, you know.
Speaker 1: So you know a lot of the rhetoric came from them,
Speaker 1: and that's where a lot of this frustration comes from.
Speaker 1: Is now that you know, a lot of these state
Speaker 1: governments have kind of abdicated to democratic governor's power that
Speaker 1: they shouldn't have. And now you have the federal government
Speaker 1: the same thing happening. And they feel lost and they
Speaker 1: don't have they feel like they don't have a voice.
Speaker 1: A lot of their businesses are still closed. They a
Speaker 1: lot of them lost their businesses. And that that you know,
Speaker 1: and this is the frustration. We'll record tell everybody at
Speaker 1: the Washington Examiner. Will appreciate you bringing us ground truth
Speaker 1: for one's going on in DC. But stay indoors, stay safe.
Speaker 1: That I'm my man, Thanks for joining. Thank you, Buck bye,
