Speaker 1: Team Buck. Welcome to the Freedom Hunt, the Friday, March
Speaker 1: fourth edition of the program. Coming to you from Houston, Texas,
Speaker 1: Great town. I'm having a lot of fun here. Much
Speaker 1: to discuss today. On the news front. We have the
Speaker 1: libs now acting like, oh, why are you so mean
Speaker 1: to us over mask stuff? Because after two years of
Speaker 1: their mania, finally people are pushing back and realizing how
Speaker 1: insane all of this was, including Governor Ron Desantists who's saying, look,
Speaker 1: you don't need to wear masks out there, you need
Speaker 1: to stop the madness, which is absolutely true. We're gonna
Speaker 1: dive into that together. Plus, in the Ukraine situation, some
Speaker 1: really bad analysis floating all over the place, especially from
Speaker 1: former CI director Brennan. The things that are being said
Speaker 1: right now about this conflict from a lot of people
Speaker 1: that are supposed to be experts, I think are not helpful.
Speaker 1: I think they are not helping people understand the realities
Speaker 1: and dynamics of this conflict. So I will dive into
Speaker 1: all of that with you here on this Friday edition
Speaker 1: of the program. Tax season can be taxing on your
Speaker 1: identity because all your personal informations in one place, getting
Speaker 1: email shared and possibly exposed to identity thieves. Tax forms
Speaker 1: can be like one stop shops for identity thieves, which
Speaker 1: means it can be dangerously easy to steal your identity.
Speaker 1: Protection against identity theft is easier with LifeLock by Norton.
Speaker 1: LifeLock by Norton helps monitor your info and alerts you
Speaker 1: to potential identity threats, and if you do become a victim,
Speaker 1: a dedicated US based restoration specialist will work to fix
Speaker 1: it during tax season and beyond. No one can prevent
Speaker 1: all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses,
Speaker 1: but you can make sure your identity theft protection starts here.
Speaker 1: Join LifeLock today and save up at twenty five percent
Speaker 1: off your first year by going to LifeLock dot com
Speaker 1: slash buck. That's LifeLock dot com slash buck for twenty
Speaker 1: five percent off LifeLock dot com slash buck. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get into the controversy. That was the only thing
Speaker 1: in the last couple of days that I think it's
Speaker 1: not even a controversy, but the libs freak out about it.
Speaker 1: When desantists told some I think there were high school kids.
Speaker 1: You don't have to wear a mask. It doesn't do anything.
Speaker 1: He's right, it's called reality, folks. We should all live
Speaker 1: in it now. We should all see people walking around
Speaker 1: with a mask on outside. You know, if you saw
Speaker 1: somebody walking around with you rubber boots and a raincoat
Speaker 1: on it on an eighty degree sunny day without a
Speaker 1: cloud in the sky, would you say, well, I guess
Speaker 1: they just want to be prepared. No, you'd say, are
Speaker 1: you okay? Something wrong with you? Like? What are you doing?
Speaker 1: That's that's not appropriate to wear today. Now, I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that, unlike the crazy mask libs, you should lock
Speaker 1: somebody up because they won't wear a trench coat or
Speaker 1: whatever on a sunny, hot day, because that's what they
Speaker 1: were doing to us, mask up, double mask, where all
Speaker 1: your masks all the time. It was insane, as you know,
Speaker 1: does anyone think not a single person listening to this
Speaker 1: right now, and there's a lot of you, a single
Speaker 1: one of you is thinking about this and going, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. But that time when they reinstituted the mask
Speaker 1: mandate and the cases went down so much and it
Speaker 1: was clear that it really worked like that was amazing. No,
Speaker 1: that never ever happened. It did not happen. And I
Speaker 1: think That's why I Ron de Santiss walk around pointing out, No,
Speaker 1: it's not enough to allow people to just live in
Speaker 1: their fantasy land because they were wrong. It's not enough
Speaker 1: for children in New York City because kids under five
Speaker 1: can't get that aren't able to get the vaccine. They
Speaker 1: don't need the vaccine full stop. Don't need it. Don't
Speaker 1: need it. The data, the CDC's own data shows us
Speaker 1: they don't need it. But because they're not allowed to
Speaker 1: get the vaccine yet because of the rules, they are
Speaker 1: still You're four year old is still supposed to mask
Speaker 1: up in daycare or whatever, Still supposed to mask up.
Speaker 1: Someone explain this one to me, But they can't, of course,
Speaker 1: I tweeted at Pete Buddhajudges for the transportation. Second, why
Speaker 1: are we masking up on planes? That's less to think
Speaker 1: about this, less than one percent of your life and
Speaker 1: including all the different bars and restaurants and crowded spaces
Speaker 1: you're gonna go to. But on a plane where the
Speaker 1: air is actually filtered to filter out viruses. Believe it
Speaker 1: or not, they have help of filters on planes. On
Speaker 1: a plane, you have to mask up? Why because they
Speaker 1: say so? Because they say so, I say, no, we
Speaker 1: are not done with this fight. Don't let them get
Speaker 1: away with this. They want to make it Oh we're transitioning,
Speaker 1: and you know yea no wrong. Wrong here is governed
Speaker 1: at Santis saying that young people need to be Remember,
Speaker 1: young people were brainwashed during all of this, and adults insisted.
Speaker 1: If you were a twelve year old kid and all
Speaker 1: the adults around you in Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago,
Speaker 1: you know, pick a big Democrat run city, anywhere in
Speaker 1: the country, they're all saying you have to mask up.
Speaker 1: If you don't mask up, it's dangerous. I mean you
Speaker 1: probably believe them, right, you'd probably believe them probably, And
Speaker 1: that's what's going on here. Play clip twelve, because it's
Speaker 1: just Santra saying, wouldn't you tell young people stop wearing masks?
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Well, Tucker, none of the adults were wearing masks,
Speaker 1: and it seemed to me that someone told those kids
Speaker 1: they had to do it. So I just wanted to
Speaker 1: make it very clear they do not need to be
Speaker 1: doing it. Obviously, in Florida it's a free state, you
Speaker 1: can do it. But I think it's also important to
Speaker 1: point out that there's no reason to do it for
Speaker 1: young and healthy kids especially, and in the state of Florida.
Speaker 1: We never had a mass mandate, of course, but our
Speaker 1: guidance from our health department is not to wear these
Speaker 1: cloth masks. And I think it needs to be said
Speaker 1: because people have been lied to for two years, and
Speaker 1: so I didn't want it to be thinking that like
Speaker 1: they were told to do this by me, because I
Speaker 1: certainly wouldn't do that. He's totally correct here, he is
Speaker 1: absolutely right, and he has been along. Look, Roger Santras
Speaker 1: is a hero of the pandemic, and there are very
Speaker 1: few of them, very few of them elected office, very
Speaker 1: few people who had power willing to use it to
Speaker 1: defend basic freedom, dignity and sanity. De Santis did a
Speaker 1: fantastic job, he really did. Joseph Latipo, his surgeon general
Speaker 1: for the State of Florida, also going off on this one.
Speaker 1: We need more of this, not less. We need more
Speaker 1: people to speak the truth now. The other side is
Speaker 1: in retreat because their lies have fallen apart speak the truth.
Speaker 1: It's important. They're going to do this again. You know,
Speaker 1: if you've listened to me now for the last two years,
Speaker 1: I have been right on this stuff. I understand the
Speaker 1: mentality of the authoritarian apparatus. I get it. I know
Speaker 1: who they are. Here's the Florida Surgeon General saying, look,
Speaker 1: these masks aren't doing a damn thing. Play thirteen. So
Speaker 1: to the doctors who tell you that these things save lives,
Speaker 1: ask them, ask them you know what did what did
Speaker 1: the two randomized clinical trials that we've done during the pandemic,
Speaker 1: what did they show? Ask them that when they tell
Speaker 1: you that these things save lives? One found nothing, zero benefit.
Speaker 1: The other found a small benefit, like a tiny benefit.
Speaker 1: It's you know, that's a little bit methologically shaky. And
Speaker 1: by the way, none of them, none of them found
Speaker 1: a benefit in young people. Not a single one found
Speaker 1: a benefit in young people. That's the reality of the
Speaker 1: science of the data. Trust me. If they could attack
Speaker 1: the methodology, if they could attack the truth of those studies,
Speaker 1: they would and you'd be hearing about it all the time.
Speaker 1: But they can't because it's reality. It's reality, and I
Speaker 1: think everyone needs to understand that right now. And we
Speaker 1: cannot allow them to continue doing this because here in
Speaker 1: New York City, I mean, there are people who are
Speaker 1: suffering from an anxiety disorder that Fauci and the others
Speaker 1: played up and used. They exploited the mental illness of
Speaker 1: masses of people for power and control and prominence. That's
Speaker 1: what they did. You are a bunch of pro masks,
Speaker 1: these people saying mask be up. We all need to
Speaker 1: be masked. I don't know what I can How could
Speaker 1: I live without a mask on my face? I mean, really,
Speaker 1: these are adults. It's sad. These people are nuts. They're nuts. Indeed, help,
Speaker 1: not masks. Help. Here's a pro mass demonstrator singing about
Speaker 1: reinstating mass play. Fifteen friends, very mandate mask that's our ass.
Speaker 1: They should all just because their sheep go back. Big
Speaker 1: crowd of sheep wandering around, don't know what's going on,
Speaker 1: don't care, just want to be part of the herd.
Speaker 1: I want to be safe and warm with the herd.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean a thing. The mask mandates failed. People that
Speaker 1: had to wear masks, people that went around yelling at
Speaker 1: other people were are not very smart. And I know
Speaker 1: that's embarrassing for them. I know that's a that's a
Speaker 1: that's a sore spot, right. Oh, but I thought I
Speaker 1: was so smart. I was listening to signs just no, no,
Speaker 1: this was an intelligence test and millions and millions of
Speaker 1: Libs failed it. They failed, and they think that by
Speaker 1: adhering to the belief system of the left, they're actually
Speaker 1: smarter than everybody else. Turns out, ah, not so much,
Speaker 1: not at all all Right, Russia, Ukraine is this is
Speaker 1: going to be the biggest story I think in the
Speaker 1: world for weeks to come. Unfortunately, because I think this
Speaker 1: is going to get, as you know, a lot worse.
Speaker 1: I think most of the analysis we've heard in the
Speaker 1: early days of this conflict is just wishful thinking or
Speaker 1: utter garbage. And we need to be very clear in
Speaker 1: our vision of what's going on here and be very
Speaker 1: honest as we consider policies and ramifications of all this.
Speaker 1: This is a high stake situation in Ukraine, not just
Speaker 1: for the region, but for the whole world depending on
Speaker 1: how this goes. So we need to be serious and
Speaker 1: how we think about this, and we'll get into it
Speaker 1: in a moment. I'm a real estate investor. I was
Speaker 1: never a real estate investor before it, never actually even
Speaker 1: bought a home for myself to live in. The first
Speaker 1: ever home I bought was through done for your real estate.
Speaker 1: These guys have a great system. They have expertise in
Speaker 1: cities across the handful of cities they don't. They're not
Speaker 1: spread out everywhere. There's a handful of cities that they
Speaker 1: know really well. They know the markets, then of the neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: They knel them down to the street corner. They work
Speaker 1: real estate agents on the ground, help you find a
Speaker 1: great property that will rent quickly and get you nice
Speaker 1: cash flow month the month while you're paying down the mortgage.
Speaker 1: This is such a strong way for people to prepare
Speaker 1: for long term financial security for a retirement. I bought
Speaker 1: multiple houses now with my friends at Done for Your
Speaker 1: real Estate guiding me through the whole process, and it's
Speaker 1: just it's worked out phenomenally. I gotta tell you one
Speaker 1: of the states I don't want to give too much away,
Speaker 1: or one of the states I've I've bought a few
Speaker 1: houses in the house values have risen already and I've
Speaker 1: only been involved in this for a couple of years.
Speaker 1: So much it's been great. Go to Done for you
Speaker 1: Buck dot Com. You'll see how this works. That's done
Speaker 1: for you buck dot com. These are great people. They
Speaker 1: really understand this business and they're so easy to work
Speaker 1: with and talk to. Done for you, Buck dot Com. Again,
Speaker 1: that's done for you, Buck dot Com. Go to that
Speaker 1: website to take you through it, and you could become
Speaker 1: a real estate investor and build real financial security for
Speaker 1: yourself going forward, stable, intelligent real estate investing. Go for
Speaker 1: it all right. John Brennan was a CIA director, which
Speaker 1: is remarkable because John Brennan seems to be a lunatic.
Speaker 1: He was the one who said that Trump, what Trump
Speaker 1: did was tantamount to treason with Russia collusion. There was
Speaker 1: no Russia collusion, but it was tantamount to treason. Do
Speaker 1: you remember that was outrageous, outrageous the stuff that he
Speaker 1: was saying at the time. But here he is trying
Speaker 1: to tell you that Putin, don't worry. Putin's days are numbered.
Speaker 1: Play clip two. The truth is something that mister Putin
Speaker 1: terribly fears, which is why he's going to try to
Speaker 1: choke off any type of flow of information about what
Speaker 1: actually is happening in Ukraine. But in this day of
Speaker 1: social media, in this day of text messages and emails
Speaker 1: and other types of things, I am certain that more
Speaker 1: and more of the accurate information is going to get
Speaker 1: into Russia, Putin and his henchmen that around him. I
Speaker 1: think they believe that the only option they have is
Speaker 1: to continue with this ferocious intensity and trying to devastate Ukraine.
Speaker 1: This is only going to lead to I think Putin's unraveling.
Speaker 1: They do believe that Putin's days are numbered, maybe in
Speaker 1: the double digits. Putin's days are numbered. Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: all of our days are numbered, So that's a that's
Speaker 1: a statement in some sense of the obvious. Right, no
Speaker 1: one lives forever. But what he's saying is double digits.
Speaker 1: I guess he'd say, well, is that ninety nine days
Speaker 1: or ten days? Right? That's that's one. That's a pretty
Speaker 1: big window. Putin's days are numbered. I this is the
Speaker 1: analysis you're hearing from people that want to want you
Speaker 1: to believe that the international community and that the international
Speaker 1: institutions that exist are somehow going to be enough to
Speaker 1: stop the Russian war machine. And I wish that were true.
Speaker 1: By the way, I wish that were true. I think
Speaker 1: it is almost certainly not going to be the case.
Speaker 1: You've had a lot of people that have been I think,
Speaker 1: misleading the public on how well this will this will
Speaker 1: go for the Ukrainian resistance. People have been thinking more
Speaker 1: and more about how if Prutin decides to from the
Speaker 1: air escalate dramatically the campaign that he is waging. Very
Speaker 1: little the Ukrainians can really do about that, which is
Speaker 1: why he've also got people still calling for a no
Speaker 1: fly zone. You even had which is which is madness.
Speaker 1: You had Lindsey Graham last night on TV on Fox
Speaker 1: News saying that somebody should step in, and he's calling
Speaker 1: for the assassination of Lennmr Prutin. That's what he said
Speaker 1: on TV play eight. What's happened is that Putin looks
Speaker 1: at Biden, he sized him up. He thinks he can
Speaker 1: get away with it, and he's going to keep going
Speaker 1: and going and going, and nobody in the West is
Speaker 1: going to stop him. How does this end? Somebody in
Speaker 1: Russia has to step up to the plate. Is there
Speaker 1: Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful colonel Stoppenberg
Speaker 1: in the Russian military? The only way this shit ends,
Speaker 1: my friend, is for somebody in Russia to take this
Speaker 1: guy out. You would be during your country a great
Speaker 1: service and the world a great service. Take this guy out.
Speaker 1: Now you've got a sitting US Senator saying that while
Speaker 1: then we're also hearing from the Bid administration, Well, diplomacy
Speaker 1: can fix this. Diplomacy is the way forward. Here's the
Speaker 1: a Pentagon spokesman Kirby saying just that Place six. They
Speaker 1: are hitting residential areas, They are causing civilian casualties and
Speaker 1: a lot of damage inside these cities, and there's no
Speaker 1: reason for it. Nicole, there is a diplomatic path forward
Speaker 1: here if mister Putin would only choose that de escally
Speaker 1: stop the fighting. There's no reason for this war. Ukraine
Speaker 1: was never an aggressor and never presented any kind of
Speaker 1: threat to Russians and their national security. There is always
Speaker 1: the possibility of diplomacy and de escalation. Does anyone think
Speaker 1: Putin's going to take that ent anytime soon? An even
Speaker 1: believe that that's a likely situation here? Putin is likely
Speaker 1: to get his way in Ukraine. I think that's my assessment,
Speaker 1: because he's willing to do incredible violence and cause unimaginable
Speaker 1: destruction to get there, and it's a battle of wills
Speaker 1: at some level. We are not even willing to go
Speaker 1: after the energy sector in Russia to cut off the
Speaker 1: funding of the Russian war machine, So why is it
Speaker 1: going to stop. Putin understands this part of the world
Speaker 1: better than we do. Putin understands this neighborhood of Ukraine
Speaker 1: and the former Soviet Union much better than our policymakers
Speaker 1: and the apparatus of decision making in our national security sphere.
Speaker 1: So I think, unfortunately, this war is going to keep
Speaker 1: dragging on and it's going to get ugly. It's already ugly,
Speaker 1: It's gonna get uglier the whole thing. It's going to
Speaker 1: be horrific. And we need to understand that that's likely coming,
Speaker 1: that this thing ending in two days, because whether Lindsey
Speaker 1: Graham calling for someone to take out Putin or the
Speaker 1: diplomatic path very unlikely. And I think we should be
Speaker 1: psychologically prepared as onlookers to this situation because we are
Speaker 1: not involved directly in the fighting for that to happen,
Speaker 1: and there's going to be an emotional appeal. There's going
Speaker 1: to be a desire that a lot of folks have
Speaker 1: that we should do more. We have to be calculating
Speaker 1: in this otherwise we'll find ourselves in the midst of
Speaker 1: a war in Europe with nukes on both sides, which
Speaker 1: I'm quite certain is not something that would be in
Speaker 1: our interest. You've heard me say. What's happening in our
Speaker 1: cities to police is a disgrace caught between hostile activists,
Speaker 1: those that fund them, rogue prosecutors, liberal media, and misguided
Speaker 1: political leaders. Progressive policies have resulted in wrongful charges, thus
Speaker 1: facing unimaginable pressure and financial burdens the law enforcement Legal
Speaker 1: defense fund at police defense dot org. Education, it's the
Speaker 1: public on the risks and threats associated with being an
Speaker 1: officer today, and they raise funds to support police financially
Speaker 1: burden as a result of being wrongfully charged. They can't
Speaker 1: help without generous support from people like you. Go to
Speaker 1: Police defense dot org. See what they're doing to support
Speaker 1: our heroic officers and their families in an era of
Speaker 1: defund the police. Learn about defending the police. Use the simulators.
Speaker 1: See the types of decisions police must make every day
Speaker 1: on the street. It's time to stand up for our
Speaker 1: men and women in blue. Police help today at police
Speaker 1: defense dot org. Again, that website is police defense dot org.
Speaker 1: So here is the former I think it's NATO Supreme
Speaker 1: Commander James Stavridius on Putin play clip seven. This is
Speaker 1: within living memory. There are eighty year olds, ninety year
Speaker 1: olds who remember the campaigns of world who are two.
Speaker 1: I think this is at the heart of why Europe
Speaker 1: is reacting in such a strong way, and which should
Speaker 1: be very positive for the United States to observe that.
Speaker 1: We are to tap into that and continue again to
Speaker 1: get this out of the channel of Washington versus Moscow
Speaker 1: and get it into Moscow versus the world. Because Vladimir Putin,
Speaker 1: you are walking us back to the late nineteen thirties.
Speaker 1: That is not a place you want to be. It's
Speaker 1: not a place the world wants to be. We need
Speaker 1: to continue to move that message with our European colleagues.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be Moscow versus the world though,
Speaker 1: and we should all be very clear about that understanding. China,
Speaker 1: which has over a billion people, not going to turn
Speaker 1: on Moscow in a meaningful way. And if China doesn't
Speaker 1: turn on Moscow, how involved in this do you think
Speaker 1: India is going to get? How involved? You know, when
Speaker 1: he says the world is an energy, he really means
Speaker 1: America and NATO. Well, yeah, that's already going on the
Speaker 1: world against Moscow. The world a lot of it just
Speaker 1: simply does not care enough about the conflict in Europe
Speaker 1: to do anything about it. Nothing meaningful. We have to
Speaker 1: be realistic about this, my friends. There's so much propaganda
Speaker 1: out there right now. There's so many people that are
Speaker 1: saying things meant to stir up emotion and bring about
Speaker 1: a certain outcome. I'll continue to try to do the most,
Speaker 1: the most honest, forthright and sober minded analysis possible of
Speaker 1: all of this, because this conflict's going to be stretching
Speaker 1: on for quite some time and I want to do
Speaker 1: I want to start doing some deep dives into specific
Speaker 1: aspects of this, maybe next week. Tell me if you
Speaker 1: like this idea. Some of you listen to the podcasts,
Speaker 1: just send me a Facebook message or you can email me.
Speaker 1: Do you want me to do a deep dive into
Speaker 1: the Chechen conflicts. I was thinking about this on this podcast, so,
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of twenty minute or so podcasts
Speaker 1: on certain aspects of this. I think I think that
Speaker 1: might be an interesting way to go about this because
Speaker 1: the day to day there's gonna be a lot of bombing,
Speaker 1: a lot of fighting, and a lot of wrangling over diplomacy.
Speaker 1: But I think having a better foundational understanding of this
Speaker 1: would help everybody, including me, because I'll do all the
Speaker 1: research for it and then i'll present it to you. So,
Speaker 1: if you like that idea you're listening to the podcast,
Speaker 1: send me a message Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton,
Speaker 1: or you can shoot me an email Team Buck at
Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot com. Have a great weekend, everybody. I hope
Speaker 1: I see some of you listening to this at the
Speaker 1: Houston Rodeo. Tonight. I'll be at the Houston Rodeo. I'm
Speaker 1: really I'm sorry. No, I'll be the Houston Rodeo Tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Tonight I'll be at our Texas Barbecue, Beer and Bourbon
Speaker 1: blowout in in Houston, and then tomorrow I'll be at
Speaker 1: the Houston Rodeo. Be a lot of fun. Thanks for listening, everybody.
Speaker 1: I always appreciate your time. Shields High
