1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Team Buck. Welcome to the Freedom Hunt, the Friday, March

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: fourth edition of the program. Coming to you from Houston, Texas,

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 1: Great town. I'm having a lot of fun here. Much

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: to discuss today. On the news front. We have the

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: libs now acting like, oh, why are you so mean

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: to us over mask stuff? Because after two years of

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: their mania, finally people are pushing back and realizing how

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: insane all of this was, including Governor Ron Desantists who's saying, look,

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: you don't need to wear masks out there, you need

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: to stop the madness, which is absolutely true. We're gonna

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: dive into that together. Plus, in the Ukraine situation, some

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: really bad analysis floating all over the place, especially from

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: former CI director Brennan. The things that are being said

14
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: right now about this conflict from a lot of people

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: that are supposed to be experts, I think are not helpful.

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: I think they are not helping people understand the realities

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: and dynamics of this conflict. So I will dive into

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: all of that with you here on this Friday edition

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: of the program. Tax season can be taxing on your

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: identity because all your personal informations in one place, getting

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 1: email shared and possibly exposed to identity thieves. Tax forms

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: can be like one stop shops for identity thieves, which

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: means it can be dangerously easy to steal your identity.

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: Protection against identity theft is easier with LifeLock by Norton.

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: LifeLock by Norton helps monitor your info and alerts you

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: to potential identity threats, and if you do become a victim,

00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: a dedicated US based restoration specialist will work to fix

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: it during tax season and beyond. No one can prevent

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses,

30
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: but you can make sure your identity theft protection starts here.

31

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: five percent off LifeLock dot com slash buck. All right,

35
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: let's get into the controversy. That was the only thing

36
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: in the last couple of days that I think it's

37
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: not even a controversy, but the libs freak out about it.

38
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: When desantists told some I think there were high school kids.

39
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: You don't have to wear a mask. It doesn't do anything.

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: He's right, it's called reality, folks. We should all live

41
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: in it now. We should all see people walking around

42
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: with a mask on outside. You know, if you saw

43
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: somebody walking around with you rubber boots and a raincoat

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: on it on an eighty degree sunny day without a

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: cloud in the sky, would you say, well, I guess

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: they just want to be prepared. No, you'd say, are

47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: you okay? Something wrong with you? Like? What are you doing?

48
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: That's that's not appropriate to wear today. Now, I'm not

49
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: saying that, unlike the crazy mask libs, you should lock

50
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: somebody up because they won't wear a trench coat or

51
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: whatever on a sunny, hot day, because that's what they

52
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 1: were doing to us, mask up, double mask, where all

53
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: your masks all the time. It was insane, as you know,

54
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: does anyone think not a single person listening to this

55
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: right now, and there's a lot of you, a single

56
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: one of you is thinking about this and going, yeah,

57
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: you know. But that time when they reinstituted the mask

58
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: mandate and the cases went down so much and it

59
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: was clear that it really worked like that was amazing. No,

60
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: that never ever happened. It did not happen. And I

61
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: think That's why I Ron de Santiss walk around pointing out, No,

62
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: it's not enough to allow people to just live in

63
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: their fantasy land because they were wrong. It's not enough

64
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: for children in New York City because kids under five

65
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: can't get that aren't able to get the vaccine. They

66
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: don't need the vaccine full stop. Don't need it. Don't

67
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: need it. The data, the CDC's own data shows us

68
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: they don't need it. But because they're not allowed to

69
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: get the vaccine yet because of the rules, they are

70
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: still You're four year old is still supposed to mask

71
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: up in daycare or whatever, Still supposed to mask up.

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: Someone explain this one to me, But they can't, of course,

73
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: I tweeted at Pete Buddhajudges for the transportation. Second, why

74
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: are we masking up on planes? That's less to think

75
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: about this, less than one percent of your life and

76
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: including all the different bars and restaurants and crowded spaces

77
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna go to. But on a plane where the

78
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: air is actually filtered to filter out viruses. Believe it

79
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: or not, they have help of filters on planes. On

80
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: a plane, you have to mask up? Why because they

81
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: say so? Because they say so, I say, no, we

82
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: are not done with this fight. Don't let them get

83
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: away with this. They want to make it Oh we're transitioning,

84
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: and you know yea no wrong. Wrong here is governed

85
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: at Santis saying that young people need to be Remember,

86
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: young people were brainwashed during all of this, and adults insisted.

87
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: If you were a twelve year old kid and all

88
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: the adults around you in Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago,

89
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, pick a big Democrat run city, anywhere in

90
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: the country, they're all saying you have to mask up.

91
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: If you don't mask up, it's dangerous. I mean you

92
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: probably believe them, right, you'd probably believe them probably, And

93
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: that's what's going on here. Play clip twelve, because it's

94
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: just Santra saying, wouldn't you tell young people stop wearing masks?

95
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Well, Tucker, none of the adults were wearing masks,

96
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 1: and it seemed to me that someone told those kids

97
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: they had to do it. So I just wanted to

98
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: make it very clear they do not need to be

99
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: doing it. Obviously, in Florida it's a free state, you

100
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: can do it. But I think it's also important to

101
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: point out that there's no reason to do it for

102
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: young and healthy kids especially, and in the state of Florida.

103
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: We never had a mass mandate, of course, but our

104
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: guidance from our health department is not to wear these

105
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: cloth masks. And I think it needs to be said

106
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: because people have been lied to for two years, and

107
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: so I didn't want it to be thinking that like

108
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: they were told to do this by me, because I

109
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: certainly wouldn't do that. He's totally correct here, he is

110
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: absolutely right, and he has been along. Look, Roger Santras

111
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: is a hero of the pandemic, and there are very

112
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: few of them, very few of them elected office, very

113
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: few people who had power willing to use it to

114
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: defend basic freedom, dignity and sanity. De Santis did a

115
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: fantastic job, he really did. Joseph Latipo, his surgeon general

116
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: for the State of Florida, also going off on this one.

117
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: We need more of this, not less. We need more

118
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: people to speak the truth now. The other side is

119
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,119
Speaker 1: in retreat because their lies have fallen apart speak the truth.

120
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: It's important. They're going to do this again. You know,

121
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: if you've listened to me now for the last two years,

122
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: I have been right on this stuff. I understand the

123
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: mentality of the authoritarian apparatus. I get it. I know

124
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: who they are. Here's the Florida Surgeon General saying, look,

125
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: these masks aren't doing a damn thing. Play thirteen. So

126
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: to the doctors who tell you that these things save lives,

127
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: ask them, ask them you know what did what did

128
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: the two randomized clinical trials that we've done during the pandemic,

129
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: what did they show? Ask them that when they tell

130
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: you that these things save lives? One found nothing, zero benefit.

131
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: The other found a small benefit, like a tiny benefit.

132
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: It's you know, that's a little bit methologically shaky. And

133
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: by the way, none of them, none of them found

134
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: a benefit in young people. Not a single one found

135
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: a benefit in young people. That's the reality of the

136
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: science of the data. Trust me. If they could attack

137
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: the methodology, if they could attack the truth of those studies,

138
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: they would and you'd be hearing about it all the time.

139
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: But they can't because it's reality. It's reality, and I

140
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: think everyone needs to understand that right now. And we

141
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: cannot allow them to continue doing this because here in

142
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: New York City, I mean, there are people who are

143
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: suffering from an anxiety disorder that Fauci and the others

144
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: played up and used. They exploited the mental illness of

145
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: masses of people for power and control and prominence. That's

146
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: what they did. You are a bunch of pro masks,

147
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: these people saying mask be up. We all need to

148
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: be masked. I don't know what I can How could

149
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: I live without a mask on my face? I mean, really,

150
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: these are adults. It's sad. These people are nuts. They're nuts. Indeed, help,

151
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: not masks. Help. Here's a pro mass demonstrator singing about

152
00:08:42,240 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: reinstating mass play. Fifteen friends, very mandate mask that's our ass.

153
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: They should all just because their sheep go back. Big

154
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: crowd of sheep wandering around, don't know what's going on,

155
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: don't care, just want to be part of the herd.

156
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: I want to be safe and warm with the herd.

157
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean a thing. The mask mandates failed. People that

158
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: had to wear masks, people that went around yelling at

159
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: other people were are not very smart. And I know

160
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: that's embarrassing for them. I know that's a that's a

161
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: that's a sore spot, right. Oh, but I thought I

162
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: was so smart. I was listening to signs just no, no,

163
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: this was an intelligence test and millions and millions of

164
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: Libs failed it. They failed, and they think that by

165
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: adhering to the belief system of the left, they're actually

166
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: smarter than everybody else. Turns out, ah, not so much,

167
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: not at all all Right, Russia, Ukraine is this is

168
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: going to be the biggest story I think in the

169
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: world for weeks to come. Unfortunately, because I think this

170
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: is going to get, as you know, a lot worse.

171
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: I think most of the analysis we've heard in the

172
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: early days of this conflict is just wishful thinking or

173
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: utter garbage. And we need to be very clear in

174
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: our vision of what's going on here and be very

175
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: honest as we consider policies and ramifications of all this.

176
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: This is a high stake situation in Ukraine, not just

177
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: for the region, but for the whole world depending on

178
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: how this goes. So we need to be serious and

179
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: how we think about this, and we'll get into it

180
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: in a moment. I'm a real estate investor. I was

181
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: never a real estate investor before it, never actually even

182
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: bought a home for myself to live in. The first

183
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: ever home I bought was through done for your real estate.

184
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: These guys have a great system. They have expertise in

185
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: cities across the handful of cities they don't. They're not

186
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: spread out everywhere. There's a handful of cities that they

187
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,119
Speaker 1: know really well. They know the markets, then of the neighborhoods.

188
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: They knel them down to the street corner. They work

189
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: real estate agents on the ground, help you find a

190
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: great property that will rent quickly and get you nice

191
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: cash flow month the month while you're paying down the mortgage.

192
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: This is such a strong way for people to prepare

193
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: for long term financial security for a retirement. I bought

194
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: multiple houses now with my friends at Done for Your

195
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: real Estate guiding me through the whole process, and it's

196
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: just it's worked out phenomenally. I gotta tell you one

197
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: of the states I don't want to give too much away,

198
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: or one of the states I've I've bought a few

199
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: houses in the house values have risen already and I've

200
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: only been involved in this for a couple of years.

201
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: So much it's been great. Go to Done for you

202
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: Buck dot Com. You'll see how this works. That's done

203
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: for you buck dot com. These are great people. They

204
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: really understand this business and they're so easy to work

205
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: with and talk to. Done for you, Buck dot Com. Again,

206
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: that's done for you, Buck dot Com. Go to that

207
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: website to take you through it, and you could become

208
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: a real estate investor and build real financial security for

209
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: yourself going forward, stable, intelligent real estate investing. Go for

210
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: it all right. John Brennan was a CIA director, which

211
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: is remarkable because John Brennan seems to be a lunatic.

212
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: He was the one who said that Trump, what Trump

213
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: did was tantamount to treason with Russia collusion. There was

214
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: no Russia collusion, but it was tantamount to treason. Do

215
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: you remember that was outrageous, outrageous the stuff that he

216
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: was saying at the time. But here he is trying

217
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: to tell you that Putin, don't worry. Putin's days are numbered.

218
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: Play clip two. The truth is something that mister Putin

219
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: terribly fears, which is why he's going to try to

220
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: choke off any type of flow of information about what

221
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: actually is happening in Ukraine. But in this day of

222
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: social media, in this day of text messages and emails

223
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: and other types of things, I am certain that more

224
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: and more of the accurate information is going to get

225
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: into Russia, Putin and his henchmen that around him. I

226
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: think they believe that the only option they have is

227
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: to continue with this ferocious intensity and trying to devastate Ukraine.

228
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: This is only going to lead to I think Putin's unraveling.

229
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: They do believe that Putin's days are numbered, maybe in

230
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: the double digits. Putin's days are numbered. Well, first of all,

231
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: all of our days are numbered, So that's a that's

232
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: a statement in some sense of the obvious. Right, no

233
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: one lives forever. But what he's saying is double digits.

234
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: I guess he'd say, well, is that ninety nine days

235
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: or ten days? Right? That's that's one. That's a pretty

236
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: big window. Putin's days are numbered. I this is the

237
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: analysis you're hearing from people that want to want you

238
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: to believe that the international community and that the international

239
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: institutions that exist are somehow going to be enough to

240
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: stop the Russian war machine. And I wish that were true.

241
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: By the way, I wish that were true. I think

242
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: it is almost certainly not going to be the case.

243
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: You've had a lot of people that have been I think,

244
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: misleading the public on how well this will this will

245
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: go for the Ukrainian resistance. People have been thinking more

246
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: and more about how if Prutin decides to from the

247
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: air escalate dramatically the campaign that he is waging. Very

248
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: little the Ukrainians can really do about that, which is

249
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: why he've also got people still calling for a no

250
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: fly zone. You even had which is which is madness.

251
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: You had Lindsey Graham last night on TV on Fox

252
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: News saying that somebody should step in, and he's calling

253
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: for the assassination of Lennmr Prutin. That's what he said

254
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: on TV play eight. What's happened is that Putin looks

255
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: at Biden, he sized him up. He thinks he can

256
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: get away with it, and he's going to keep going

257
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: and going and going, and nobody in the West is

258
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: going to stop him. How does this end? Somebody in

259
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: Russia has to step up to the plate. Is there

260
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful colonel Stoppenberg

261
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: in the Russian military? The only way this shit ends,

262
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: my friend, is for somebody in Russia to take this

263
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: guy out. You would be during your country a great

264
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: service and the world a great service. Take this guy out.

265
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: Now you've got a sitting US Senator saying that while

266
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: then we're also hearing from the Bid administration, Well, diplomacy

267
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: can fix this. Diplomacy is the way forward. Here's the

268
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: a Pentagon spokesman Kirby saying just that Place six. They

269
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: are hitting residential areas, They are causing civilian casualties and

270
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: a lot of damage inside these cities, and there's no

271
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: reason for it. Nicole, there is a diplomatic path forward

272
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: here if mister Putin would only choose that de escally

273
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: stop the fighting. There's no reason for this war. Ukraine

274
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: was never an aggressor and never presented any kind of

275
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: threat to Russians and their national security. There is always

276
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: the possibility of diplomacy and de escalation. Does anyone think

277
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: Putin's going to take that ent anytime soon? An even

278
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: believe that that's a likely situation here? Putin is likely

279
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: to get his way in Ukraine. I think that's my assessment,

280
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: because he's willing to do incredible violence and cause unimaginable

281
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: destruction to get there, and it's a battle of wills

282
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: at some level. We are not even willing to go

283
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: after the energy sector in Russia to cut off the

284
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: funding of the Russian war machine, So why is it

285
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: going to stop. Putin understands this part of the world

286
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: better than we do. Putin understands this neighborhood of Ukraine

287
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: and the former Soviet Union much better than our policymakers

288
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: and the apparatus of decision making in our national security sphere.

289
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: So I think, unfortunately, this war is going to keep

290
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: dragging on and it's going to get ugly. It's already ugly,

291
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: It's gonna get uglier the whole thing. It's going to

292
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: be horrific. And we need to understand that that's likely coming,

293
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: that this thing ending in two days, because whether Lindsey

294
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: Graham calling for someone to take out Putin or the

295
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: diplomatic path very unlikely. And I think we should be

296
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: psychologically prepared as onlookers to this situation because we are

297
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: not involved directly in the fighting for that to happen,

298
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: and there's going to be an emotional appeal. There's going

299
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: to be a desire that a lot of folks have

300
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: that we should do more. We have to be calculating

301
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: in this otherwise we'll find ourselves in the midst of

302
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: a war in Europe with nukes on both sides, which

303
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: I'm quite certain is not something that would be in

304
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: our interest. You've heard me say. What's happening in our

305
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: cities to police is a disgrace caught between hostile activists,

306
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: those that fund them, rogue prosecutors, liberal media, and misguided

307
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: political leaders. Progressive policies have resulted in wrongful charges, thus

308
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: facing unimaginable pressure and financial burdens the law enforcement Legal

309
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: defense fund at police defense dot org. Education, it's the

310
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: public on the risks and threats associated with being an

311
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: officer today, and they raise funds to support police financially

312
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: burden as a result of being wrongfully charged. They can't

313
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: help without generous support from people like you. Go to

314
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 1: Police defense dot org. See what they're doing to support

315
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: our heroic officers and their families in an era of

316
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: defund the police. Learn about defending the police. Use the simulators.

317
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: See the types of decisions police must make every day

318
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: on the street. It's time to stand up for our

319
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: men and women in blue. Police help today at police

320
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: defense dot org. Again, that website is police defense dot org.

321
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: So here is the former I think it's NATO Supreme

322
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: Commander James Stavridius on Putin play clip seven. This is

323
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: within living memory. There are eighty year olds, ninety year

324
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: olds who remember the campaigns of world who are two.

325
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: I think this is at the heart of why Europe

326
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: is reacting in such a strong way, and which should

327
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: be very positive for the United States to observe that.

328
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: We are to tap into that and continue again to

329
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: get this out of the channel of Washington versus Moscow

330
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: and get it into Moscow versus the world. Because Vladimir Putin,

331
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: you are walking us back to the late nineteen thirties.

332
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: That is not a place you want to be. It's

333
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: not a place the world wants to be. We need

334
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: to continue to move that message with our European colleagues.

335
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: It's not going to be Moscow versus the world though,

336
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: and we should all be very clear about that understanding. China,

337
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: which has over a billion people, not going to turn

338
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: on Moscow in a meaningful way. And if China doesn't

339
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: turn on Moscow, how involved in this do you think

340
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: India is going to get? How involved? You know, when

341
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: he says the world is an energy, he really means

342
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 1: America and NATO. Well, yeah, that's already going on the

343
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: world against Moscow. The world a lot of it just

344
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: simply does not care enough about the conflict in Europe

345
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: to do anything about it. Nothing meaningful. We have to

346
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: be realistic about this, my friends. There's so much propaganda

347
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: out there right now. There's so many people that are

348
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: saying things meant to stir up emotion and bring about

349
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: a certain outcome. I'll continue to try to do the most,

350
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: the most honest, forthright and sober minded analysis possible of

351
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: all of this, because this conflict's going to be stretching

352
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: on for quite some time and I want to do

353
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: I want to start doing some deep dives into specific

354
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: aspects of this, maybe next week. Tell me if you

355
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: like this idea. Some of you listen to the podcasts,

356
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: just send me a Facebook message or you can email me.

357
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: Do you want me to do a deep dive into

358
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: the Chechen conflicts. I was thinking about this on this podcast, so,

359
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,959
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of twenty minute or so podcasts

360
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: on certain aspects of this. I think I think that

361
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: might be an interesting way to go about this because

362
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: the day to day there's gonna be a lot of bombing,

363
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: a lot of fighting, and a lot of wrangling over diplomacy.

364
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: But I think having a better foundational understanding of this

365
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: would help everybody, including me, because I'll do all the

366
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: research for it and then i'll present it to you. So,

367
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: if you like that idea you're listening to the podcast,

368
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: send me a message Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton,

369
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: or you can shoot me an email Team Buck at

370
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot com. Have a great weekend, everybody. I hope

371
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,040

Speaker 1: Houston Rodeo. Tonight. I'll be at the Houston Rodeo. I'm

373
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: really I'm sorry. No, I'll be the Houston Rodeo Tomorrow.

374
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: Tonight I'll be at our Texas Barbecue, Beer and Bourbon

375
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,159
