Speaker 1: You're in the freedom height. Thanks for listening to the
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show podcast to get the latest from Bucket
Speaker 1: buck Sexton dot com man getting into the latest about
Speaker 1: faucism here on the show in just a moment. Freedom
Speaker 1: is under so much assault these days, and you really
Speaker 1: want to do what you can to show your solidarity
Speaker 1: with your fellow Americans who still believe in freedom, still
Speaker 1: believe in patriotism and the flag, and that means actually
Speaker 1: flying flags the days. That's right, American flags, folks. We
Speaker 1: all should have one in our home somewhere outside inside.
Speaker 1: I've got one. You should too, But where are you
Speaker 1: going to get a flag that's top quality? That's Allegiance
Speaker 1: flags were all my friends. Allegiance Flag Supply started because
Speaker 1: American flags are flying all over the place, but they
Speaker 1: were getting tangled and mildewed and shredded. After just a
Speaker 1: few months, Well, we've searched high and low for the
Speaker 1: best possible flag, and that's Allegiance Flag Supply. They're made
Speaker 1: in the USA, which is a bedrock foundational preshipt of
Speaker 1: their business. Okay, the American flag should be made here
Speaker 1: in the States, should be made with only the highest quality.
Speaker 1: American source materials. It's much easier and cheaper to import.
Speaker 1: But a big part of what Allegiance Flag is all
Speaker 1: about is made in America. My friends sold here in
Speaker 1: America too. They've also saved seamstresses jobs. That's a big
Speaker 1: part of this. Seamstresses were a generational talent passed down
Speaker 1: from parents from their grandparents, and many of them saw
Speaker 1: their jobs disappear in recent decades here in the States.
Speaker 1: That's because they had an outsource to foreign countries. Well
Speaker 1: guess what. Now, You've got quality craftsmanship with Allegiance Flags
Speaker 1: done here in the States, creating jobs for seamstresses and
Speaker 1: making sure you're getting the best flag you can fly anywhere.
Speaker 1: Get one just in time for Memorial Day. You can
Speaker 1: do it right now. The offer code is buck. That's

Speaker 1: use promo code buck for ten percent off your order
Speaker 1: and go to show Allegiance dot com. That website is
Speaker 1: show Allegiance dot Com. Give everyone a sense of what
Speaker 1: the country is going to look like next Mother's Day. Well, George,
Speaker 1: I hope that next Mother's Day we're going to see
Speaker 1: a dramatic difference than what we're seeing right now. I
Speaker 1: believe that we will be about as close to back
Speaker 1: to normal as we can. And there's some conditions to that, George.
Speaker 1: We've got to make sure that we get the overwhelming
Speaker 1: proportion of the population vaccinated. When that happens, the virus
Speaker 1: doesn't really have any place to go. There aren't a
Speaker 1: lot of vulnerable people around. And where there are not
Speaker 1: a lot of vulnerable people around, you're not going to
Speaker 1: see as you're not going to see that the kinds
Speaker 1: of numbers we see now next Mother's Day. I mean,
Speaker 1: what is doctor Fauci smoked? Because I might have to
Speaker 1: try some of it, we might be at normal next
Speaker 1: Mother's Day. I told you all along that this was
Speaker 1: gonna be the way this goes, that just when you
Speaker 1: think you're starting to get freedom back, just when you
Speaker 1: think your life is going to be in your hands
Speaker 1: once again and you don't have to constantly live under
Speaker 1: the thumb of the most neurotic and anxious among us, right,
Speaker 1: you'd have Fauci come back out and tell you you know,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I don't want to get ahead of
Speaker 1: ourselves here, but over the course of the next six
Speaker 1: to six hundred months, we could see a diminution a
Speaker 1: viral load passage based on the parabolic data that I'm
Speaker 1: seeing here of you know, basically, maybe at some point
Speaker 1: you'll not have to do all this crazy nonsense very
Speaker 1: far in the future. Though, if almost everybody gets vaccinated,
Speaker 1: and I reserve the right to move the goalposts on
Speaker 1: that too, you just have to say to yourself, when
Speaker 1: is this too much? When when do people finally realize, oh,
Speaker 1: it is happening. And now it's very clear to me,
Speaker 1: having spent some time in Tennessee over the weekend just
Speaker 1: to have a weekend out of New York City, took
Speaker 1: the snow Princess. You know, we just had a nice time,
Speaker 1: and I'm heading down to Florida a few weeks same thing.
Speaker 1: I just I just want to get out and be
Speaker 1: in states where they're embracing freedom, because you have this
Speaker 1: real disparity now. I mean, it's it's all around you.
Speaker 1: New York is still living in fear. And I know
Speaker 1: that they'll say, oh, but you know, the capacity is
Speaker 1: going back in a couple of weeks. Not really, they're
Speaker 1: gonna have the six foot rule. I mean, they're leaving
Speaker 1: all these little bureaucratic, nonsensical, arbitrary things in place. And
Speaker 1: for those of you who live and God bless because
Speaker 1: you're lucky. Those of you who live in Texas, those
Speaker 1: of you who live in Florida, those of you who
Speaker 1: live in states with governors that are not insane, are
Speaker 1: already saying, Buck, what are you even talking about? Aren't
Speaker 1: even talking about this? Buck? What's the big problem? Because
Speaker 1: you've got half the country basically being dragged through the
Speaker 1: Fauciite absurdity, and the other half, now it is not.
Speaker 1: I'm like, don't leave us behind, guys, don't don't let
Speaker 1: us get left on the battlefield here. But I know
Speaker 1: it's the people who live in the Blue states. We're
Speaker 1: suffering the consequences of that. We're suffering the consequences of
Speaker 1: putting so much power in the hands of bureaucrats and idiots.
Speaker 1: And this is why Fauci saying next Mother's Day, maybe
Speaker 1: that would be next May folks, And he didn't even
Speaker 1: say will be normal, He said, we'll be pretty close
Speaker 1: to in the approximate universe of something in the general
Speaker 1: vicinity of a number that we could call normal maybe
Speaker 1: you know, no, no normal. Wait, there is no basis
Speaker 1: of pall which to say that we will be anything
Speaker 1: other than unmasked together, you know, at at sporting events
Speaker 1: and concerts and bars, breathing on each other's, spilling beer
Speaker 1: on each other by accident or on purpose, depends on
Speaker 1: who somebody's rooting for. There is no basis for that.
Speaker 1: But Dan is the fouch. And then there's the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: and they're not done using all this stuff. They haven't
Speaker 1: gotten everything they want. They have reordered the circuitry of
Speaker 1: society's brain. Here we all just obey, like a bunch
Speaker 1: of little hamsters that want to get a pellet or
Speaker 1: want to, you know, get the little water feeder thing.
Speaker 1: They're having hamster cages. We just do what we're told,
Speaker 1: no matter how stupid it is. I was on planes
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Obviously, if you're gonna fly out of
Speaker 1: state multiple times, and I'm just sitting here like they're
Speaker 1: talking to us all like we're toddlers. This is so dumb.
Speaker 1: They've really now taken it to heart. I've flown a
Speaker 1: few times in recent weeks where it's Okay, we know
Speaker 1: you're gonna unmask to drink or eat, but you know,
Speaker 1: don't take too long. What I just want to tell
Speaker 1: them the shot that you know what up, don't take
Speaker 1: too long a reasonable amount of time to eat or drink.
Speaker 1: The moment that you know you break the seal with
Speaker 1: your mask, you're breathing that virus out into the air.
Speaker 1: I mean, this whole thing is so dumb, and I
Speaker 1: understand it for those of you that live in in
Speaker 1: those more sane states, you I need you to understand
Speaker 1: the federal government's not giving this up. And so even
Speaker 1: if you're not dealing with this day today, we're gonna
Speaker 1: have this hangover of fauci i tyranny for years. And
Speaker 1: so every time you fly, every time you go into
Speaker 1: a federal building, every time you go into a big
Speaker 1: box store that's a national chain. Because of legal concerns,
Speaker 1: you know, people keep saying, oh, well, do what small
Speaker 1: businesses want? Well, the federal government sets the liability policies,
Speaker 1: for example, when it comes to a federal chain, and
Speaker 1: what you couldn't be sued for. I mean, you know
Speaker 1: they could have made it so we have far less COVID.
Speaker 1: Get ready for all the COVID lawsuits that are and
Speaker 1: they're already happening, but you're gonna see a lot more
Speaker 1: of that. The big box stores, the federal government property,
Speaker 1: anything that involves cross state lines, anything of all is flying.
Speaker 1: They're not letting this stuff go. And then there was
Speaker 1: the real piers de la resistance of fouchiite lunacy, the
Speaker 1: piece de la resistance. The fouch would say of well,
Speaker 1: maybe just get ready for like some masks forever. That's right,
Speaker 1: this is going to be a thing. And you may say, buckets,
Speaker 1: not my problem. I'm not going to wear one. Unless
Speaker 1: we take this head on, they're going to have They're
Speaker 1: going to be people who feel self righteous telling you,
Speaker 1: excuse me, could you mask up because it's flu season? Yeah,
Speaker 1: play too. But as the masks going to be something
Speaker 1: we have with us in a seasonal aspect, you know
Speaker 1: that's quite possible. I think people have gotten used to
Speaker 1: the fact that wearing masks. Clearly, if you look at
Speaker 1: the data, diminishes restpits diseases. We've had practically a nonexistent
Speaker 1: flu season this year merely because people who are doing
Speaker 1: the kinds of public health things that were directed predominantly
Speaker 1: against COVID nineteen, The Australians during their winter same thing.
Speaker 1: They had almost no flu, largely due to the kinds
Speaker 1: of things, including mask wearing. So it is conceivable that
Speaker 1: as we go on a year or two or more
Speaker 1: from now, that during certain seasonal periods when you have
Speaker 1: respiratory born viruses like the flu, people might actually elect
Speaker 1: to wear masks to diminish the likelihood that you'll spread
Speaker 1: these respiratory born diseases. Oh, there's so much here, there's
Speaker 1: so much. First of all, if we had a real
Speaker 1: press corps, which we do not, if we had actual journalists,
Speaker 1: which we do not, they would ask the question, well,
Speaker 1: why you're saying we had basically zero flu flus a virus.
Speaker 1: Why did we have zero flu but the worst COVID
Speaker 1: numbers we never had simultaneously? And then people say, oh,
Speaker 1: because it's more contagious. Okay, it's thousands and thousands and
Speaker 1: thousands of times more contagious than the flu. That's interesting
Speaker 1: because you had enormous surge in COVID and very little
Speaker 1: in the flu, and the answers they're giving you for
Speaker 1: this are obviously insufficient, they're obviously not telling you the truth,
Speaker 1: or they don't know the answer. But there's so much
Speaker 1: here mask up for. Why didn't we people like me
Speaker 1: at the beginning of this a year ago, we're saying,
Speaker 1: and you know this, why did we never mask up
Speaker 1: for the flu? People die from flu every year? And
Speaker 1: they were saying, well, let's shut up, be your flu bro.
Speaker 1: This is different. We're not saying do it forever, just
Speaker 1: for two weeks, just for two weeks. Now, it's actually
Speaker 1: mask up forever, at least during the flu season. And
Speaker 1: you might say, well, buck, that's only gonna be oh no,
Speaker 1: oh no, they're gonna try to You've got a Democrat
Speaker 1: administration and a Democrat controlled federal government, so guess what.
Speaker 1: They're going to try to find ways to make this
Speaker 1: policy in as many places as they can. The mask
Speaker 1: is the Biden Harris maga hat of this administration. Right
Speaker 1: they that that is absolutely what has happened here. This
Speaker 1: has become a political symbol for people. It is no
Speaker 1: longer for millions and millions of Americans about especially as
Speaker 1: they're vaccinator, they've already had it about protecting them. It
Speaker 1: is about look, at what team I'm on this? The
Speaker 1: mask is now a symbol for millions of political tribally
Speaker 1: mask all. Why did you choose to wear a mask
Speaker 1: so often when you're a vaccinated and you're around because
Speaker 1: I'm worried about you? That's a joke. It's a joke.
Speaker 1: Why am I wearing the mask? Because one readside is
Speaker 1: still good policy to wear the mask. That's why when
Speaker 1: I'm outside and the problem is lots of times I
Speaker 1: walk away in this podium, you notice ever get to
Speaker 1: put my mask back on because I'm used to not
Speaker 1: wearrying it outside. Nope, it's not good policy. This is
Speaker 1: a fixation. Now, this is an euroses. That's right, we
Speaker 1: are we've heard what the The first of all, the
Speaker 1: CDC is full of overly cautious bureaucrat dumbasses. Start with that.
Speaker 1: But even the CDC has said there is no reason
Speaker 1: for Joe bideny wearing a mask outside, but he's rage
Speaker 1: good policy. I don't where if you come up to
Speaker 1: where I'm at, No, no mask. The mask is now
Speaker 1: an emotional security blanket for libs. Oh I have to
Speaker 1: mask up if you're vaccinated and you're still wearing a mask,
Speaker 1: anywhere anywhere. You are being absurd, indoors or outdoors. That's
Speaker 1: the truth. It's absurd. Now a lot of you would say, buckle,
Speaker 1: what have you? What have you been about? People? And
Speaker 1: there there's a whole other argument that I don't even
Speaker 1: get into here, which is they have no if whatsoever,
Speaker 1: that the vaccine. They do not know as a matter
Speaker 1: of medical data. They do not know that vaccinated people
Speaker 1: are less likely to get and transmit the disease than
Speaker 1: someone like me who has proven on the record had COVID.
Speaker 1: They do not know that. They are making it up
Speaker 1: as they go along. They don't want to tell you
Speaker 1: that because they want control. They want you to do
Speaker 1: what they want. But there is no data set that
Speaker 1: proves I mean, they can interpret as much as they want.
Speaker 1: There's no data set that proves that do what you're
Speaker 1: told or else. This is what we're always up against.
Speaker 1: Do what you're told, or the federal government is going
Speaker 1: to come down on you, or Facebook will come down
Speaker 1: on you, the gatekeepers of big tech will decide that
Speaker 1: they need to make an example of you. Mask forever
Speaker 1: I saw this coming along? Why did I see this
Speaker 1: coming along? Why is this not surprising? To me, Well,
Speaker 1: because I understand the nature of the left, I understand
Speaker 1: how they think, I understand how they approach things, and
Speaker 1: that's why they've already set it up with a narrative
Speaker 1: that because we don't have full vaccination, it's now our
Speaker 1: fault again. You see, the insufficiency of their policy is
Speaker 1: the fault of the people, just like it was on masking,
Speaker 1: just like it was on social distancing. Here's devouch on
Speaker 1: how you know your most important thing of all is
Speaker 1: you gotta get vaccinated. You gotta be a guy that
Speaker 1: goes out there and gets a vat and gets back
Speaker 1: and then even still wear a mask forever. Play three. Well,
Speaker 1: the fact that we have vaccines right now, Chuck, is
Speaker 1: really a game changer. I mean, if we get which
Speaker 1: we will, to the goals that the President has established, namely,
Speaker 1: if we get seventy percent of the people vaccinated by
Speaker 1: the fourth of July named meat one single dose and
Speaker 1: even more thereafter, you may see blips, but if we
Speaker 1: handle them well, it is unlikely that you'll see the
Speaker 1: kind of surge that we saw in the late fall
Speaker 1: and the early winter. That's the reason, Chuck, why we
Speaker 1: plead with people to get vaccinated because the larger proportion
Speaker 1: of the population that's vaccinated, the less likelihood that in
Speaker 1: a season like the coming fall the winter, you're going
Speaker 1: to see a significant surge. There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: That's the reason why vaccinations are so important. That's the
Speaker 1: wild card that we have now that we didn't have
Speaker 1: last fall, the last winter. What about the talk of boosters.
Speaker 1: Remember the way that they've justified making people like me
Speaker 1: who have had many of you listening who have had COVID,
Speaker 1: the way that they have justified it, making us get
Speaker 1: vaccinated even though we've had the virus. As they say, well,
Speaker 1: your antibodies are only detectable for a few months, right,
Speaker 1: There are even on this are all crap, by the way,
Speaker 1: And when you look at this, there's t cell immunity,
Speaker 1: there's anybodies. There's no such thing as perfect immunity ever
Speaker 1: from anything in society. But they're making this argument, oh well,
Speaker 1: there have been a few breakthrough cases. It's incredibly rare,
Speaker 1: incredibly rare. But they say, well, antibodies fade from natural immunity,
Speaker 1: so you got to get the vaccine as well. Anybody's
Speaker 1: fade from the vaccine too. You've already seen news stories
Speaker 1: about boosters. You've already seen people started, but they don't
Speaker 1: want to talk about it too much right now. They
Speaker 1: just want they want to keep you on the hamster wheel.
Speaker 1: Whatever Fauci says, whatever the FAUCII consensus is, it's just
Speaker 1: for your health, it's just for your safety. The whole
Speaker 1: world has turned into an airplane run by idiot tyrants,
Speaker 1: where we're constantly being told put your phone on airplane mode,
Speaker 1: make sure your seatbelt is on. The chance of you
Speaker 1: actually getting injured on an airplane because you don't have
Speaker 1: your seatbelt on is tiny. The chance of you interfering
Speaker 1: with airline airline communications because you forget, which people do
Speaker 1: all the time, to put your cell phone in airplane
Speaker 1: mode is infinitesimal. And yet how many times do you
Speaker 1: hear please put your phone in airplane mode, Please put
Speaker 1: your seat back up right, please put your seatball toutom
Speaker 1: all the time. And we're all in this confined, highly
Speaker 1: controlled environment where we have to comply or else. Democrats
Speaker 1: want to turn America into a you know, a spirit
Speaker 1: airlines flight from Hell, where we're all constantly being harassed
Speaker 1: by powermad airline attendants who are just spewing this garbage.
Speaker 1: We all know, all right, just gonna ease up. Okay,
Speaker 1: the plane's not going to crash because of airplane mode.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I have a laptop in my lap the
Speaker 1: plane if it goes down. If the plane goes down,
Speaker 1: the laptop that I have in my lap is not
Speaker 1: going to make any difference to anybody. I got news.
Speaker 1: I got news for them. Oh no, what will we do?
Speaker 1: But that's the shaping of our mindset that the Democrats
Speaker 1: are going into. They want us all to obey whatever
Speaker 1: they say, no matter how stupid, no matter how absurd.
Speaker 1: They want us to just bend the knee and say, yes, sir, sir,
Speaker 1: yes sir, whatever you want. They love this. This is
Speaker 1: the Democrat collectivist mindset encapsulated. This is now the America
Speaker 1: they want us all to be living in. Do what
Speaker 1: you're told the experts, no better, do what you're told,
Speaker 1: don't ask questions, don't ask for proof, don't stand up
Speaker 1: for your rights. I mean it's for for democrats. Fauciism
Speaker 1: is the pathway to utopia. Just put some old grandfatherly
Speaker 1: guy on TV, well you know, is an expert. I'm
Speaker 1: just here for your safety. I'm just here for your health,
Speaker 1: and you do everything. He says that if you don't,
Speaker 1: you're a monster who wants people to die. Total control,
Speaker 1: benevolent stalinism is what the Biden administration offers you when
Speaker 1: it comes to COVID. Benevolent stalinism. You must do this.
Speaker 1: You have no choice. Shut up, or else you're a
Speaker 1: murderer if you don't comply. But it's all for your
Speaker 1: own good. It's all so that everybody's safe and everyone.
Speaker 1: Don't pay attention to the fact that over six hundred
Speaker 1: thousand people die from COVID, even though we did all
Speaker 1: this crazy nonsense they told us we had to do.
Speaker 1: Don't pay attention to that. Let's talk about the fact
Speaker 1: that the pace of vaccinations is slowing down. Some of
Speaker 1: that is because of access, as you note, but some
Speaker 1: of it is because of vaccine skepticism. It's now at
Speaker 1: two point one million dosars a day, down almost forty
Speaker 1: percent from its peak last month. Who are the key
Speaker 1: groups of Americans you're focusing on targeting right now, young Americans, Republicans,
Speaker 1: rural Americans, And how are you targeting them? We sort
Speaker 1: of all of the above, Jay, I mean, what's happened
Speaker 1: is we've gotten to fifty eight percent faster than we expected.
Speaker 1: We're entering a new phase where access is really important
Speaker 1: and building confidence is really important. So that's what we're
Speaker 1: focused on, and I'd say it's all of the above.
Speaker 1: We want everyone to get vaccinated, and we have enough
Speaker 1: supply for all adult Americans to get vaccinated. We just
Speaker 1: want to make it easier and easier for people to
Speaker 1: get vaccinated. And for those who do have questions about efficacy,
Speaker 1: we're about safety. The three vaccines, the three authorized vaccines
Speaker 1: are all very safe and very effective. So we want
Speaker 1: people to build a turn to their trusted leader in
Speaker 1: their neighborhood, their doctor, their faith leader, to get information
Speaker 1: about the vaccines, to build vaccine confidence, so all Americans
Speaker 1: get vaccinated. Notice that faith Tapper only named a fuel groups.
Speaker 1: Are those are those groups? You know? Is that going
Speaker 1: to offend anybody in the CNN audience? The young? First
Speaker 1: of all, young people understandably have vaccine hesitancy because they
Speaker 1: are at an entirely acceptable risk themselves for this virus.
Speaker 1: So there's that, right, I mean, they feel like they're
Speaker 1: not worried about if you're twenty years old, your chance
Speaker 1: of dying from this is less than your chance of
Speaker 1: dying from the flu. And you'd say, oh, what about it.
Speaker 1: But if it's for other people, other people can get
Speaker 1: vaccinated and that should be good enough. But fake Tapper
Speaker 1: avoids talking about minorities who are vaccine hesitant. I wonder
Speaker 1: why why, Jake, Why why wasn't there a you know,
Speaker 1: there's vaccine hesitancy among minorities too. Because Jake's a pandering
Speaker 1: Democrat lib fake news purveyor, and this is what he does.
Speaker 1: He pretends that he's just asking questions, but he's pandering
Speaker 1: to the CNN audience at home. You know, doesn't want
Speaker 1: to talk about the fact that there is vaccination hesitancy
Speaker 1: in communities of color. The way the media deals with
Speaker 1: you can see there's all kinds of news stories about it,
Speaker 1: but the way the media deals with it is, oh, well,
Speaker 1: that's an access issue. No, there's actually a lot of
Speaker 1: minorities out there that just like there are a lot
Speaker 1: of other non minorities out there who are saying, I
Speaker 1: don't want to get it. That's just the truth. So
Speaker 1: but he won't doesn't want say that, Oh, that's that's
Speaker 1: not allowed. Jake Tapper would never never do such a thing.
Speaker 1: We all know they want everybody vaccinated. But I'm the
Speaker 1: one that sits here and says, there's a lesson that
Speaker 1: we should have learned during all of this, and the
Speaker 1: lesson is giving into what they want does not mean
Speaker 1: you get your freedom back. And this has been one
Speaker 1: of the enormous one of the enormous blunders and stretching
Speaker 1: even back into the Trump administration era on this when
Speaker 1: Fauci was given way too much sway. I know people,
Speaker 1: I know, no one likes when I criticize anything about
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Everything Trump did was perfect. Some people
Speaker 1: tell me, no, guys, I'm sorry. Okay, Fauci was a
Speaker 1: nightmare under Trump, a nightmare probably cost Trump the election.
Speaker 1: But they let him run all over the place and
Speaker 1: do what he did. And you know, I think they should.
Speaker 1: They should have just pulled a bandit off and fire
Speaker 1: they up. But there's a there's a fair point to
Speaker 1: be made that would somebody have been you know, as
Speaker 1: Rachelle will Lenski, any better than Fauci, No, no, probably worse. Actually,
Speaker 1: Fauci loves the spotlight and all the rest of it.
Speaker 1: But they the point I'm making here is that they
Speaker 1: don't give you back your freedom. They don't give you
Speaker 1: back your liberty in response to you making concessions. Not really. No,
Speaker 1: they wait till the numbers are where they say they
Speaker 1: need to be, and that's all that matters. Then if
Speaker 1: they want to change, if they want to if they
Speaker 1: want to go back on the deal, they will do that.
Speaker 1: It's for your safety, you see, It's for your safety.
Speaker 1: Biden's covids are Jeffrey Zin's here is telling people, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I know, we're tired of mask wearing. Play eleven.
Speaker 1: You and I are both vaccinated, and you and I
Speaker 1: are in a room together talking and I have no
Speaker 1: fear that I'm going to get the virus from you,
Speaker 1: and I assume vice versa. And I think the concern
Speaker 1: is that by being overly cautious, signal is going out
Speaker 1: to the public that there isn't necessary light at the
Speaker 1: end of the time. Do you understand why people? I
Speaker 1: think I think everyone is tired and wearing a mask
Speaker 1: is this can be a pain, but we're we're getting there,
Speaker 1: and the light at the end of the tunnel is
Speaker 1: brighter and brighter. Let's keep up our guard. Let's follow
Speaker 1: the CDC guidance, and the CDC guidance across time will
Speaker 1: allow vaccinated people more and more privileges to take off
Speaker 1: that mask. I really believe that, if you look at
Speaker 1: the data on mask mandates, it has been entirely worthless.
Speaker 1: But they stilly, they'll never admit that. I mean, you'll
Speaker 1: you'll be talking about this in fifty years and there'll
Speaker 1: be people will still say. You know, what's so interesting
Speaker 1: is that this same debate happened. The same debate happened
Speaker 1: during the Spanish influenza pandemic. There were there were ultra
Speaker 1: maskers running around, Oh you've got a mask off, masking
Speaker 1: will save us all. Didn't do a damn thing, and
Speaker 1: everyone realized that afterwards. But now we're told, oh no,
Speaker 1: now because of the spray bottle test through a mask,
Speaker 1: you know, the spray bottle test that we run, we
Speaker 1: know that that's how we're going to stop the virus.
Speaker 1: It's insanity. The problem that they're talking about here is
Speaker 1: that people who observe things understand that the CDC's risk
Speaker 1: parameters are completely absurd and unacceptable to normal rational people.
Speaker 1: That they have not given us back our freedom and
Speaker 1: liberty at the speed that they should, and that we're
Speaker 1: all tired of the nonsense and the lies and the garbage.
Speaker 1: The fact that two vaccinated people would sit down and
Speaker 1: have masks on is idiocy. It's idiocy, Okay, it's absurd,
Speaker 1: and yet they act like it's not. You know, we
Speaker 1: could do a lot of things, as I've said all along.
Speaker 1: We could have a ten millonn hour speed limit, a
Speaker 1: twenty mile an hour speed limit even Oh look at
Speaker 1: how fast that is, and you would save tens of
Speaker 1: thousands of lives in America, tens of thousands of lives
Speaker 1: save from that one change. But we understand at some
Speaker 1: level that's just too oppressive. That's crazy, that's unreasonable that
Speaker 1: we run risks in society to function well as a society.
Speaker 1: You know, we could always insist on being you know,
Speaker 1: ten feet apart, fifty feet apart of who knows what
Speaker 1: the real number is, in order to prevent the transmission
Speaker 1: of all kinds of diseases. But that's crazy. We've lost
Speaker 1: something about our society. We've lost the ability to see
Speaker 1: what is reasonable and what is not. And I understand
Speaker 1: that for the people who are living in their day
Speaker 1: to day where this isn't as much of an issue.
Speaker 1: And I just I was just in Tennessee and Nashvillians
Speaker 1: are still pretty mask conscious. But you get outside of
Speaker 1: you get outside of downtown Nashville, and you're like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: people here. People here have actually calmed down quite a bit.
Speaker 1: The same thing I've been seeing for a while in Florida.
Speaker 1: And you go to Miami. They're still their mask maniacs
Speaker 1: in Miami, but in general, Florida is just more lax
Speaker 1: and chilled out about the whole thing. When you see
Speaker 1: the numbers and then they're making sure that this doesn't
Speaker 1: really get out right now, when you see the numbers
Speaker 1: that we've been warning about all along too with how
Speaker 1: many businesses really have closed, how many people have gone
Speaker 1: bankrupt because of arbitrary COVID closures that did nothing, did nothing.
Speaker 1: These people were wrong. Fouch you the rest of them.
Speaker 1: They were wrong. They can keep on going by by
Speaker 1: by this time if they're morons. But you also see
Speaker 1: the amount of cancer screenings that were missed and people
Speaker 1: that are now going to have stage stage three or
Speaker 1: stage four end stage cancer who might have been able
Speaker 1: to be saved. We're talking about thousands and thousands of people.
Speaker 1: And remember they were saying, well, well, we're saving lives
Speaker 1: from COVID. Really did this work? Did their policies work?
Speaker 1: Do you look at this now and you feel like
Speaker 1: that's the truth? And this is so political it's obvious.
Speaker 1: So why Biden's walk around saying it's your patriotic duty.
Speaker 1: It's also why there's this weird focus on individual vaccination status.
Speaker 1: Here's this doctor Reyner who was on CNN drilling down
Speaker 1: into Tucker Carlson on this play twelve. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: think he's really a saboteur. That's where I think of
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson every night. He has a million questions about
Speaker 1: this vaccine. Somehow magically he has no one on his
Speaker 1: show that can answer these questions. I'm willing to answer
Speaker 1: these questions. And I have a question. I have two
Speaker 1: questions for Tucker Carlson. Number one, have you been vaccinated?
Speaker 1: Number two, why won't you tell your audience whether you've
Speaker 1: been vaccinated? I'm tired. I'm tired of his really his nonsense.
Speaker 1: Why is there anyone's business whether Jregor Carlson has been vaccinated?
Speaker 1: Is the vaccination mandatory? Why if the government is going
Speaker 1: to take that position. Why don't they just say that no,
Speaker 1: now they're going to vaccine shame people. And yet, as
Speaker 1: I've told you, I would sit here and say why
Speaker 1: should I be vaccinated at all? I've had COVID? They say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: we think it'll give better protection. They think they don't know.
Speaker 1: They haven't run any trial. They've been proven that the
Speaker 1: science says that I have immunity. How long does it last?
Speaker 1: I don't know how long does vaccine immunity last. They
Speaker 1: don't know that either, do they. But they act just
Speaker 1: as one more thing, just as one more thing. Just
Speaker 1: do this thing, and then then everything will be okay
Speaker 1: for me once. Shame on you, Vomy a million times.
Speaker 1: I'm a FAUCII. Well, look, COVID won't disappear. We're going
Speaker 1: to have to learn to live with it. But the
Speaker 1: risk is substantially reduce as a result of vaccination, as
Speaker 1: a result of immunity that people have acquired through prior infection.
Speaker 1: And so I think we're at the point in time
Speaker 1: when we can start lifting these ordinances in a host
Speaker 1: seale fashion and people have to take precautions based on
Speaker 1: their individual risk. They have to judge their own individual
Speaker 1: risk and decide whether or not they're going to avoid
Speaker 1: crowds or wear masks based on their circumstances. But we've
Speaker 1: always said from a public health standpoint that we would
Speaker 1: set as a metric maybe when we get down in
Speaker 1: ten cases per hundred thousand people on a daily basis,
Speaker 1: well half the country's there right now. If you want
Speaker 1: to be more conservative and say five cases per hundred
Speaker 1: thousand people, well this week. By this week, probably about
Speaker 1: a quarter of states will be there. So we're at
Speaker 1: the point right now we can start lifting these ordinances
Speaker 1: and allowing people to resume normal activity. Certainly outdoors. We
Speaker 1: shouldn't be putting limits on gatherings anymore. We should be
Speaker 1: encouraging people to go outside. And the states where prevalence
Speaker 1: is low, vaccination rates are high, and we have good
Speaker 1: testing in place to where identifying infections, I think we
Speaker 1: can start lifting these restrictions indoors as well. On a
Speaker 1: broad basis, I think we need to start lifting these
Speaker 1: things as the situation improves, also to demonstrate that we
Speaker 1: can do that and that we maintain our integrity and
Speaker 1: our ability to re implement these things when we have to.
Speaker 1: The public has to trust that public health officials are
Speaker 1: going to lift these restrictions as quickly as they put
Speaker 1: them in place as the conditions improve, and that's probably
Speaker 1: partly what's holding back the economy right now. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a lot going on here, folks. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: problems that this mentality creates. Doctor Scott Gottlieb at least
Speaker 1: not sounding a crazy person here, Isn't it fascinating? He
Speaker 1: goes on TV, this guy remember FDA chairman or whatever,
Speaker 1: and he says it's time to end into our mask
Speaker 1: mandates in some places and everyone goes m libs. Still
Speaker 1: don't want to do it. Of course, mask up forever,
Speaker 1: but this the patriotic duty. I'm in a mask up Arnold.
Speaker 1: Oh we're gotten free mask A. The whole thing so embarrassing,
Speaker 1: should be so embarrassing to people, it's so stupid. Why
Speaker 1: not foremasks? Why not AID? Why don't they take the virus? Seriously?
Speaker 1: I'm a quad masker. I go for masks centaor rosis.
Speaker 1: People who go out in the woods by themselves with
Speaker 1: masks on for hikes have problems. And I mean this
Speaker 1: there's widespread and you can you know, you can kind
Speaker 1: of laugh and say, oh buck, I'm out here. I
Speaker 1: live in a place where people don't really worry about
Speaker 1: this as much. Yeah, but millions, millions and millions, tens
Speaker 1: of millions of your fellow Americans who vote, who are
Speaker 1: you gonna determine who the next president is? And you know,
Speaker 1: push push for policies in one direction or another. They
Speaker 1: are emotionally damaged by this whole thing. They've gotten used
Speaker 1: to accepting tyranny and stupidity in a level at a
Speaker 1: way where I've been honestly somewhat shocked by it. I mean,
Speaker 1: I knew that there would be some of this, but
Speaker 1: it's gone way beyond my expectations. You know, I've have
Speaker 1: friends who've been told by people outdoors twenty feet away.
Speaker 1: You know, where is your mask really either that they're
Speaker 1: that people are that emotionally destabilized by this that they
Speaker 1: can't think this through it all. It's not walking and
Speaker 1: walking outside, you know, with the sun blasting on you,
Speaker 1: that you have to worry about this virus. It's getting
Speaker 1: fat and weak and being kept indoors, not seeing loved ones,
Speaker 1: not working out, not getting exercise indoors. You know, you
Speaker 1: only have to be exposed once one time indoors to
Speaker 1: get the virus, and then for some people that can
Speaker 1: be all. She wrote, You know, maybe locking us all
Speaker 1: inside and stifling our breath and increasing our stress, which
Speaker 1: is which is immune suppressing. It's true, stress is an
Speaker 1: immune suppressing. You know that you here notice that they
Speaker 1: never talked about that. But but making sure that you
Speaker 1: can't breathe normally, and how that affect I mean, I
Speaker 1: get I'll tell you I get agitated every time I'm
Speaker 1: forced to put that stupid I want to start cursing
Speaker 1: when I talk about that stupid thing on my face.
Speaker 1: Every time I get on an airplane, I want to
Speaker 1: look around and people say, are you? Are you morons
Speaker 1: who want this happy? I know there are a lot
Speaker 1: of people who agree with me, obviously, and you know,
Speaker 1: God bless them. But the people that don't even know
Speaker 1: where you're amazing a lot of a lot of destruction
Speaker 1: done because people are honestly, people are cowards who think
Speaker 1: that they will live forever if they listen to the
Speaker 1: listen to the fauci. You know a lot of twenty
Speaker 1: five year olds and thirty year olds who watch a
Speaker 1: lot of CNN who think I'm doing my part. I'm
Speaker 1: a patriot because I wear a mask, like Biden says,
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean, they should be a shame,
Speaker 1: but they think. What's amazing is they think they're the
Speaker 1: good guys. Here's this other doctor, doctor Ryan on CNN
Speaker 1: about restaurants. A lot of restaurants in New York still closed,
Speaker 1: never coming back late thirteen. What do you think, doctor Ryner?
Speaker 1: Is the President being too cautious. Well, it's a job
Speaker 1: to be cautious. But I think the message from this
Speaker 1: administration needs to be clearer and cleaner for people who
Speaker 1: have been vaccinated. The data that we've accrued from now
Speaker 1: over one hundred million fully vaccinated people shows that the
Speaker 1: risk of serious illness is close to zero if you've
Speaker 1: been fully vaccinated. And I want the American public to
Speaker 1: understand that that's the carrot that you get for going
Speaker 1: to get a shot. You're not only protecting your community,
Speaker 1: which is perhaps the most important role for getting vaccinated,
Speaker 1: but you're protecting yourself in a really, really resounding way.
Speaker 1: And the CDC should be telling people that. The CDC
Speaker 1: should be telling people, if you are vaccinated, book a
Speaker 1: reservation at a restaurant, support your local restaurants, go out,
Speaker 1: take your mask off, have a drink, because first of all,
Speaker 1: that's true, and people need to understand that. Without without
Speaker 1: that kind of guidance, people think that this pandemic is endless.
Speaker 1: And that's because it is. And that's because the people
Speaker 1: in charge, that is their mentality. They like the control,
Speaker 1: They like this. You think Fauci wants to go back
Speaker 1: to being some obscure bureaucrat who puts out PSAs about
Speaker 1: washing your hands during flu season that no one pays
Speaker 1: attention to. No, I don't think so, friends, I don't
Speaker 1: think so. This guy has like a messianic complex, our
Speaker 1: messiah complex. He's saving, saving millions of lives with this, right,
Speaker 1: this is what they think. A lot of people that
Speaker 1: have had businesses destroyed, a lot of people whose lives
Speaker 1: have been ruined by this should be looking at what's
Speaker 1: going on here and saying, by the way, we need
Speaker 1: to push. I want to see a lot of data crunching.
Speaker 1: The right. Conservatives, just rational people need to pound this.
Speaker 1: I know, Somemmy felt, Oh buck, let's talk what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and talk about Liz cheney leadership struggles
Speaker 1: for two hours who cares. Liz Cheney's annoying. The old
Speaker 1: GOP is gone. She's gonna be gone soon. From leadership
Speaker 1: to This is about our society, This is about our
Speaker 1: whole country, about the mentality of the American people overall.
Speaker 1: This really matters. How do we get back to a
Speaker 1: place of normalcy as soon as possible and hold the
Speaker 1: people that took our rights away from us responsible for it?
Speaker 1: Oh man, you know what I made myself this morning,
Speaker 1: Some bacon bacon from my friends at Monk. Monk is
Speaker 1: the best place to get your meats, all right. You're
Speaker 1: talking about grass fed, grass finished beef here, pastured pork
Speaker 1: and chicken, wild caught Alaskan salmon, really delicious, top quality
Speaker 1: stuff sent right to your door in a monk box.

Speaker 1: big agriculture. And you're gonna get the most delicious pork,
Speaker 1: chicken beef. I made a ribi recently for myself. It
Speaker 1: was so buttery and delicious. And I've made whole chicken, chicken, breasts, bacon.
Speaker 1: The pork is just the stuff is gonna melt in
Speaker 1: your mouth. You've got to get a monkbox, now, go
Speaker 1: to monkbox dot com, slash Buck and listeners to this

Speaker 1: am excited for her next chapter. That's why I want
Speaker 1: to be as excited as every parent. I don't want
Speaker 1: to have to worry about her entering a world where
Speaker 1: she has to worry about how people retreat her because
Speaker 1: of the color of her skin. So I am excited,
Speaker 1: but I'd like to be more excited to know that
Speaker 1: as she goes out and gets her first apartment and
Speaker 1: rides the subway somewhere, that they don't make assumptions about
Speaker 1: her based on the color of her skin, that she's
Speaker 1: not at risk out there in the world as an
Speaker 1: adult because she's a black woman. I'm so glad that
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama is raising this issue of the treatment that
Speaker 1: she is worried her daughter will face in America, Because
Speaker 1: to any person who's actually being honest and understands what's
Speaker 1: really going on in America today, the Obama daughters who
Speaker 1: are now adults and who are public figures so we
Speaker 1: can speak about them, the obam My daughters are going
Speaker 1: to continue to be treated almost like gods in America
Speaker 1: for the rest of their lives. They will be invited
Speaker 1: to whatever parties, whatever, whatever social life they want. People
Speaker 1: will beg them to show up at their parties. They
Speaker 1: will be multi multi millionaires many many, many times. They
Speaker 1: will be fabulously wealthy. They will be incredibly influential. They
Speaker 1: will be almost worshiped by liberals in America without ever
Speaker 1: actually having to do anything anything, just because of who
Speaker 1: they are. But Michelle Obama wants you don't know that
Speaker 1: she's worried about the racism they'll face when getting an apartment. Really,
Speaker 1: m I give full credit to my friend Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: great tweet went viral over the weekend when he said
Speaker 1: he dreams of a world in which the Obama's can
Speaker 1: be or dreams of an American which the Obamas, you know,
Speaker 1: can be successful. Barack Obama has multiple, you know, mansions.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a fifteen million dollar house in
Speaker 1: Martha's Vineyard. He's still largely running the White House on
Speaker 1: key decisions. Just all they do is called Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: Biden'll do whatever Obama tells him. We all know it.
Speaker 1: The Obama's occupy a place in society where they are
Speaker 1: beloved by really more than half the country, beloved, elevated,
Speaker 1: treated like they are just the greatest thing to happen
Speaker 1: in American politics, in living memory. Let's keep it. Pick
Speaker 1: it up there ready. It really is amazing when you
Speaker 1: think about where we are now as a society, where
Speaker 1: where somebody who I mean Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, these
Speaker 1: are individuals who are among the most powerful, lucky, wealthy,
Speaker 1: influential human beings on Earth. I mean they're probably in
Speaker 1: like the top ten on the planet. And you know,
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama's worried about her her daughter being able to
Speaker 1: rent the department. Really, Michelle Obama's daughter is gonna be
Speaker 1: living in a ten million dollar mansion in bel Air,
Speaker 1: or in Malibu or in you know New York City.
Speaker 1: I assure you the moment that she wants to and
Speaker 1: you listen to this, will probably never live in a
Speaker 1: house like that. I will never live in a house
Speaker 1: like that. But Michelle Obama's children will live wherever they
Speaker 1: want to. And then look, that's fine. Barack Obama's made
Speaker 1: a lot of money, and you know this is why
Speaker 1: I'm a capitalist. I believe that you. But can we
Speaker 1: not deal with the whining? I'm just I wanted to.
Speaker 1: Can we not hear about how it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be so hard for them? Really? Oh, you're right.
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people are going to be
Speaker 1: racist to the Obama to the Obama children now adults
Speaker 1: in front of the Secret Service details that they have
Speaker 1: escorting them around for the rest of the life. I'm
Speaker 1: sure they're really gonna deal with the this sting of
Speaker 1: racism in that context. Come on, folks, come on, I mean,
Speaker 1: enough is enough. But you see, even no matter how
Speaker 1: when you're when you're a leftist who has risen through
Speaker 1: the demotive, it's the very top of the Democrat party,
Speaker 1: and identity politics has always been such a part of
Speaker 1: one's individual narrative victimology goes hand in hand with that,
Speaker 1: and you will never to drop that. Why it's power.
Speaker 1: It's power. Not only are you rich and famous and influential,
Speaker 1: but anyone who criticizes you as racist, well that's amazing.
Speaker 1: I mean, you get to you get to have all
Speaker 1: the trappings of power, all the actual influence on upside
Speaker 1: of our society. But you you have a a built
Speaker 1: in protection against anyone criticizing you saying it. Just say,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, they're being racist. Look look at all
Speaker 1: the challenges we deal with. They they've said mean things.
Speaker 1: I want to be ultra rich and wealthy and influential
Speaker 1: in America and have a built in defense against any
Speaker 1: criticism that will silence most people. I'm sorry, I just
Speaker 1: I couldn't. There's something that's just too much. I mean,
Speaker 1: does Michelle Obama really think that her daughter's gonna have
Speaker 1: a hard time wrinting in department? Does she really believe that?
Speaker 1: Really the daughter the president? I mean, I think they
Speaker 1: both go to Harvard, both the daughters, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: did they even have to submit transcripts? I don't know,
Speaker 1: probably as a proformer thing, but I'm pretty sure the
Speaker 1: Obama children could get into absolutely any school they want
Speaker 1: anywhere in the country. We all know that. Does anyone
Speaker 1: want to does anyone to take the other side of
Speaker 1: that argument? Oh no, No, it's very hard for the
Speaker 1: Obama children to get into the most elite university they
Speaker 1: want because of what a racist society we live in.
Speaker 1: So they want to take that side of the argument,
Speaker 1: they look really stupid. We all know that. Ah no,
Speaker 1: but we all we all have to play this game
Speaker 1: still where we act like, you know, Michelle Obama's worried
Speaker 1: about her children being able to rent an apartment where
Speaker 1: you know where you have Lebron James saying that he
Speaker 1: that that black people are being hunted every time they
Speaker 1: leave their homes by the police, a horrifying thing to say.
Speaker 1: Where Don Lemon tells everybody that he's worried. This was
Speaker 1: some years ago, that he calls his mom and he
Speaker 1: gets home because he's so worried about the police killing him.
Speaker 1: Where Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer pretend that they care
Speaker 1: so much about these these concerns that are held by
Speaker 1: very prominent minorities, and that they somehow have a connection
Speaker 1: to this that's not just about their own pursuit of power. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the society that we live in now, where
Speaker 1: we have to just hear these things and say, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's reasonable. Sure. Oh and in case you're wondering, Michelle
Speaker 1: Obama also wants wants you to get the vaccine. Play five.
Speaker 1: Does seem like we're coming out of the COVID valley,
Speaker 1: you know, you know where it was a long dark tunnel.
Speaker 1: I think we're still sort of in the tunnel, but
Speaker 1: I do sort of see light back there. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: it'd be better light when people would get vaccinated. There's
Speaker 1: still so many people that are either scared or just
Speaker 1: say no, I'm not doing it. All I can say
Speaker 1: is that I have tried to live a life where
Speaker 1: I don't lie to people. And the science behind a
Speaker 1: vaccine is the same science that's behind aspirin and insulin.
Speaker 1: What are the COVID rules for visiting the Obama's now?
Speaker 1: It's be vaccinatedcine that that's the you want to hang
Speaker 1: out with us, get your vaccine, can get all of it,
Speaker 1: finish it up, and then we can talk. So I
Speaker 1: urge everybody out there, within the sound of our voices,
Speaker 1: please please get the vaccine. It's time Michelle Obama knows
Speaker 1: nothing about science or medicine, but that won't be in
Speaker 1: any professional or she was a hospital administrator if you
Speaker 1: are wondering, who was making I think three hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year while her husband was a senator from
Speaker 1: Illinois three hundred thousand dollars a year at a public
Speaker 1: hospital to be a diversity educator or to be a
Speaker 1: coordinator for diversity. So yeah, she's worked at a hospital.
Speaker 1: She knows nothing about medicine and a professional capacity. But
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're not allowed to actually point out that
Speaker 1: it's only the people that have criticisms of the FAUCII
Speaker 1: consensus who have to be mds. Everybody else who's out there,
Speaker 1: who who is just saying whatever they're supposed to about
Speaker 1: the FAUCCII consensus, they their medical degree is not up
Speaker 1: for debater or discussion. But also I thought it was
Speaker 1: very strange when she said that the vaccine is this No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: this this vaccine is not it's not the same science.
Speaker 1: I understand what she was roughly getting at here, but
Speaker 1: this is these are vaccines that are relying on technology
Speaker 1: that is new, that is has not been around for
Speaker 1: a long time at all. Obviously, this is not using
Speaker 1: a non steroidal anti inflammatory drug. This is a whole
Speaker 1: other level m But don't ask any questions, folks, Just
Speaker 1: shut up and do what you're told. That's the America
Speaker 1: we live in now. When Michelle Obama speaks, you listen
Speaker 1: and do as you're told. When doctor Fauci speaks, you
Speaker 1: listen and do as you're told. And if you won't,
Speaker 1: if you if there's any part of you that has
Speaker 1: an issue with that, you're a bad person who wants
Speaker 1: old people to die and doesn't want America to go
Speaker 1: back to normal. That's where we are. That's this Democrat administration.
Speaker 1: Oh but they're uniters, the Biden team. They're they're uniters,
Speaker 1: aren't they sure? They are? Disney goes woke with new
Speaker 1: anti racist agenda for employees. That's the headline on this
Speaker 1: piece from Dana Kennedy at the New York Post. And
Speaker 1: you dig into this and it's remarkable. It really is
Speaker 1: not surprising because, as we all know, these days, there's
Speaker 1: so much of this anti racism wokeness training that you
Speaker 1: used to think of as something that would exist only
Speaker 1: on left wing college campuses. But really the last ten
Speaker 1: years has become completely standardized in corporate America. And Disney,
Speaker 1: which is supposed to be one of the great American
Speaker 1: brands and entertainment companies out there. You know, Disney should
Speaker 1: be as American as apple Pie. You may recall, though
Speaker 1: some years ago Disney was actually hiring h one b
Speaker 1: visa foreigners to take the jobs of Americans working in
Speaker 1: different tech positions for Disney, and then made the Americans
Speaker 1: train their replacements as part of the conditions of getting
Speaker 1: their severance packages. Yeah, so Disney's Disney can be brutal,
Speaker 1: and this is a company run by libs. Just remember
Speaker 1: that Disney is run by libs, just like all these
Speaker 1: other major wasn't wasn't necessarily built by left wing radicals.
Speaker 1: But but you got people now at the top who will, certainly,
Speaker 1: if they themselves don't believe that stuff, will certainly bend
Speaker 1: the knee to left wing lunacy as as much as
Speaker 1: they need to for their own purposes. And this is
Speaker 1: an example of how critical race theory is at a
Speaker 1: great American corporation being taught to people. Here is there
Speaker 1: is from this piece Disney is pushing critical race theory
Speaker 1: on employees through a new plan called Reimagine Tomorrow, urging
Speaker 1: workers to recognize their white privilege in a battery of
Speaker 1: training modules on such topics as systemic racism and white fragility.
Speaker 1: This is a corner to documents obtained by City Journals
Speaker 1: Christopher Russo. Staffers are told to reject equality for equity
Speaker 1: and must reflect on America's racist infrastructure and think carefully
Speaker 1: about whether or not their wealth is derived from racism.
Speaker 1: According to the documents, in one anti racism training course
Speaker 1: called Allyship for Race Consciousness, workers are taught that the
Speaker 1: US has a long history of systemic racism and transphobia,
Speaker 1: and told they must take ownership of educating yourself about
Speaker 1: structural anti black racism. Staffers should not rely on their
Speaker 1: black colleagues to educate them, which is emotionally taxing. The
Speaker 1: document reportedly instructs, I mean, friends, come on, right, It's
Speaker 1: like we're just trying to see how absurd everything can
Speaker 1: possibly get before people realize that this is just nuts
Speaker 1: and they won't deal with it anymore. What does all
Speaker 1: this stuff even? I mean, why is this all being
Speaker 1: caught as though this is accepted truth? In a corporate
Speaker 1: training module? This is this is all. This is all bull,
Speaker 1: this is all crazy. What does this even mean? Emotionally
Speaker 1: taxing to rely on colleagues to teach you about ray
Speaker 1: don't I'm not relying on colleagues and teach me about
Speaker 1: any of this stuff. What do the what does this
Speaker 1: even mean? Oh gosh, peace keeps going on here. Quote
Speaker 1: Disney recommends its staffers hit the book, suggesting one essay
Speaker 1: that encourages parents to commit to raising race consciousness in children,
Speaker 1: and which teaches that even babies discriminate against members of
Speaker 1: other races. That's right, folks, babies are racist. Only white babies,
Speaker 1: they will tell you. And I'm being this is true.
Speaker 1: Only white babies are racist, because whatever they've noticed in
Speaker 1: babies when it comes to reacting to people of different
Speaker 1: of different races, that is, even though babies can't really
Speaker 1: understand the structural racism and society, it is really only
Speaker 1: possible for white people to be racist according to critical
Speaker 1: race theorists. You have to remember that if you're wondering
Speaker 1: how intellectually contradictory and flimsy critical race theory really is.
Speaker 1: Only white people are able to be racist, according to
Speaker 1: critical race theorists, or racial tension among other groups, is
Speaker 1: the result of white supremacy and white supremacists thinking. According
Speaker 1: to CRT, so if you see, you know, a story
Speaker 1: about a black guy assaulting an Asian American, attacking, you know,
Speaker 1: beating up in an old Asian lady, something like that,
Speaker 1: that is not something that you have to you should
Speaker 1: think of as being the result of racism. That's the
Speaker 1: result of white supremacy, specifically, not anti Asian bigotry from
Speaker 1: somebody who is non white, because that can't exist. They
Speaker 1: tell you there are almost daily memos. According to this
Speaker 1: piece of the New York Post. This is all based
Speaker 1: on Chris Ruffo's amazing reporting on this. There are almost
Speaker 1: daily memos that suggest readings, panels, and seminars all centered
Speaker 1: around anti racism. The company is completely ideologically one sided,
Speaker 1: discourages Christian and work conservatives from speaking their mind. Here's
Speaker 1: a quote from a worker. I attended several training sessions
Speaker 1: at the beginning, just to see what the temperature of
Speaker 1: the discussion would be and to gauge if I would
Speaker 1: be able to bring up my own objections in a
Speaker 1: safe way, safe meaning for my career, and I've continually
Speaker 1: gotten the unspoken answer no. The employee told the outlet,
Speaker 1: it has been very, very stifling to feel like everyone
Speaker 1: keeps talking about having open dialogue and compassionate conversations, but
Speaker 1: when it comes down to it, I know if I
Speaker 1: said one thing that was truthful based on data or
Speaker 1: even just based on my own personal experience, it would
Speaker 1: actually be rather unwelcome. The company has also backed a
Speaker 1: twenty one day racial equity and social justice challenge. The
Speaker 1: New York postpiece goes on where participants are told they
Speaker 1: all have been raised in a society that elevates white
Speaker 1: culture over others. As part of the challenge, staffers learn
Speaker 1: about their white privilege and are asked to fill out
Speaker 1: a white privileged checklist with choices such as I am white,
Speaker 1: I am a heterosexual, I am a man, I still
Speaker 1: identify as the gender I was born in. I have
Speaker 1: never been raped, I don't rely on public transportation, and
Speaker 1: I have never been called a terrorist. The company has
Speaker 1: recently shown a willingness to embrace this ideology, including a
Speaker 1: content advisories to films including like Dumbo, Aladdin, and Fantasia.
Speaker 1: Disney is run by three. I mean the top three
Speaker 1: people in Disney are super rich, white guys worth a
Speaker 1: billion dollars between them, but they really care about wokeness.
Speaker 1: You see. This isn't remember you're never allowed to think
Speaker 1: about how this stuff is being pushed at companies by
Speaker 1: really rich white progressives overwhelmingly who want to make sure
Speaker 1: that they are insulated from these criticisms, that they have
Speaker 1: these social capital in the virtue signaling of instituting all
Speaker 1: of this, and that they actually don't give a crap
Speaker 1: about what's going on when it comes to race relations
Speaker 1: in America and racial tensions. None of that really matters
Speaker 1: to them. This is about the people at the top
Speaker 1: controlling the hourly workers. You see. I'm about to get
Speaker 1: into the latest statement about concern of racist America from
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama. We'll get into that in just just a moment.
Speaker 1: But I want small business to thrive. Put aside for
Speaker 1: a moment this administration and all the ways they're making
Speaker 1: it harder. I want small business to thrive. And there
Speaker 1: are critical things you can do that will really help.
Speaker 1: HR is a huge problem for a lot of folks.

Speaker 1: lab may not be so far fetched. That is the
Speaker 1: piece by Nicholas Wade from yesterday the New York Post
Speaker 1: opinion piece. Here, let's dive into this with somebody who's
Speaker 1: been following us very closely and also understands China quite
Speaker 1: well from his time in the intelligence community. Is even
Speaker 1: a Mandarin speaker himself, our friend Jack Possobic of One
Speaker 1: America News with us. Now, Jack, great to have you. Well,
Speaker 1: Holly Buck, there we go. Now tell me what is
Speaker 1: your do you just bring everyone up to speed here
Speaker 1: on where we are at this stage with the lab leak,
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen virus lab leak thesis. Well, so it's
Speaker 1: really interesting bug that many of us early who were
Speaker 1: some of the first people to call out what was
Speaker 1: going on with COVID back in all the way January
Speaker 1: twenty twenty Can you believe almost a year and a
Speaker 1: half ago talking about what is China? You know, sort
Speaker 1: of the people like myself in the China watcher community
Speaker 1: going what the heck is going on in China? They're
Speaker 1: locking down cities, the people are falling over or something.
Speaker 1: This is not normal. Some stop right and kind of
Speaker 1: calling attention to that, like maybe we should put done
Speaker 1: travel with China if there really is a virus out
Speaker 1: of here. Well, the first thing we did was point
Speaker 1: out that this city in Wuhan and specific area of
Speaker 1: the this wet market we were told originally remember the
Speaker 1: wet market and there are all these bat soup pictures
Speaker 1: and images that were being spread throughout the internet. Many
Speaker 1: of us said, We'll hold on a second. The Wuhan
Speaker 1: Institute of Orology is right down the street from where
Speaker 1: this thing is going on. Shouldn't we possibly take a
Speaker 1: look at that, just you know, looking at it as
Speaker 1: an objective standpoint. And they said no, no, no, don't
Speaker 1: worry about that. Oh. Then we said, well, can we
Speaker 1: at least find out what kind of evidence, what kind
Speaker 1: of experiments were being done at that lab? And then
Speaker 1: we find out that they were conducting experiments called gain
Speaker 1: a function. These are experiments that are done to create viruses,
Speaker 1: in this case specifically coronaviruses that have higher sceptibility to
Speaker 1: being infectious to human beings. They can cross populations from bats, pangolins,
Speaker 1: possible in mediary species. They're calling it humanized mice and
Speaker 1: go into humans. Now, the problem with this, they told
Speaker 1: us again and again and again for all this time, No,
Speaker 1: it's not possible. It's debunked. Senator Tom Cotton went out
Speaker 1: and talked about at the Washington Post went after him
Speaker 1: finally just last week on a Medium article. And now
Speaker 1: it's gaining traction in the New York Post and other places.
Speaker 1: Former New York Times science writer has come out this guy,
Speaker 1: Nicholas Wade and said, you know what, everything these guys
Speaker 1: have been saying for the past year and a half
Speaker 1: is absolutely spot on. There's a lot of scientists that say,
Speaker 1: this thing has features that don't appear to have evolved
Speaker 1: naturally or arisen naturally. We don't see, you know, we
Speaker 1: don't see the normal chain of progression. We don't see
Speaker 1: populations that were infected along the route to Uhan. And
Speaker 1: the bats that we're told that this come from don't
Speaker 1: come anywhere near Uhan. They're not from near They're from
Speaker 1: caves there are twelve hundred miles away, and you Anne,
Speaker 1: and so he's looking at it and saying, we think
Speaker 1: there might be a problem here, and Buck, Here's the
Speaker 1: even bigger problem is that all the scientists that the
Speaker 1: mainstream media has brought forward, the who put at the
Speaker 1: head of their quote unquote investigation into all of this,
Speaker 1: are the same scientists this guy, Peter Dashik and his
Speaker 1: friends who were actually involved in those gain of function
Speaker 1: experiments and giving them approval in the first place within
Speaker 1: the Wuhan lab. So this, It's it's an incredible story.
Speaker 1: It's a wild story. It's something that people would not
Speaker 1: It's what we don't want to hear, right. We want
Speaker 1: to hear that our government is keeping our best interested heart,
Speaker 1: is doing what they can to protect us. We're told
Speaker 1: to trust the science. We want to believe doctors. We
Speaker 1: want to believe scientists, and then when we find out
Speaker 1: something like this, it almost seemed far fetched to believe.
Speaker 1: Now people are finally speaking out, Jack, what do you
Speaker 1: think the ramifications could be here if in fact we
Speaker 1: do end up proving I mean China, I would assume, well,
Speaker 1: just no matter what, always deny this. But could you
Speaker 1: imagine a country, a government really Remember that's not it's
Speaker 1: not the Chinese people, it's the Chinese Communist Party and
Speaker 1: the powers that be who would be responsible for unleashing
Speaker 1: essentially a plague on the whole world that will end
Speaker 1: up having killed millions of people. That's a problem that
Speaker 1: it's even hard to wrap our minds around. But how
Speaker 1: do you see this playing out? The problem here is that, well,
Speaker 1: it would be easy for us claim at all on China, right,
Speaker 1: that would be sort of the knee jerk response. It
Speaker 1: would be very simple to do. But that isn't intellectually
Speaker 1: honest because as we're falling, Look, you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: some guy who's a virus expert. I'm not a research
Speaker 1: expert in this field. I'm just following the data, right,
Speaker 1: I'm just following the evidence where it leads, following the facts.
Speaker 1: So these experiments are going on. But then we find
Speaker 1: out that these experiments were supported and approved and in
Speaker 1: some cases funded by a group called the Eco Health
Speaker 1: Alliance run by the out of Houston, run by this
Speaker 1: guy Peter Dashek, an American slash British scientist. Then we
Speaker 1: find out the funding approval came through the National Institute
Speaker 1: of Health, which of course is headed by Francis Bacon
Speaker 1: and his Frans Collins, and the deputy there, of course
Speaker 1: is doctor Anthony Fauci, an absolute household name. So we
Speaker 1: are going to have to come to grips of the
Speaker 1: fact that the very people who were supposed to be
Speaker 1: looking out for this thing may actually have a degree
Speaker 1: of responsibility culpability in allowing these very risky, extremely dangerous
Speaker 1: experiments to go on in a place like China where
Speaker 1: they were not given the proper approval they needed. And now,
Speaker 1: of course they're using the power of the Chinese Communist Party,
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist government to wipe everything under the table
Speaker 1: and raise all the data, not give independent investigators and
Speaker 1: auditors access to the databases to find out what was
Speaker 1: actually being cooked up in that lab there in Guhan.
Speaker 1: And the fact the matter is is that the US
Speaker 1: government may have some responsibility in this as well. We're
Speaker 1: speaking of Jack Pasobic of what America News Network about
Speaker 1: the status of the story of the origins of the
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen virus, and Jack go into just give us
Speaker 1: a little more context here about people say Fauci was
Speaker 1: involved in something that connects to China, and then also
Speaker 1: the US government hand explained to us again how that
Speaker 1: how that all comes, how that could come together? Right?
Speaker 1: And I really don't want to make some sort of
Speaker 1: machiavilion thing. I don't think there's any evidence. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen any evidence that brit that this was something that
Speaker 1: anybody went on the US side or the China side,
Speaker 1: you know, wanted to happen. Certainly, the economic effects of
Speaker 1: this have been devastating. The human cause of this has
Speaker 1: been devatating for all around the world still benefits for anybody, right,
Speaker 1: you know, unless lets you look at sort of the
Speaker 1: e commerce sites of the world. But when it really
Speaker 1: comes down to it, it just seems that these experiments
Speaker 1: were going on in this lab in Buhan they had oversight,
Speaker 1: supposedly from the international science community. And we're told that
Speaker 1: the most pre eminent scholars and experts from that community
Speaker 1: are the National Institute of Health right here in Bethesda, Maryland,
Speaker 1: United States of America. Anthony Fauci top names there, Francis
Speaker 1: Collins one of the top names there. When you see
Speaker 1: something like an NIH studies on the top of it,
Speaker 1: you know that old standard for world science and world research.
Speaker 1: The problem is is that they were conducting these studies
Speaker 1: in China in such a way that it was not
Speaker 1: held to the same standards. And this guy Wade actually
Speaker 1: goes through in greater detail. He says, some of the experiments.
Speaker 1: You know, we're told it was a level four facility.
Speaker 1: Actually it was a Biosafety Standard Level two facility, he said,
Speaker 1: So the BSL two, that's basically the same amount of
Speaker 1: biosafety you would see in like your dentist office when
Speaker 1: you go for a checkup. Right, you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: is it sterilized, sure, but does it thing where you
Speaker 1: could be working on viruses? Not so much. And so
Speaker 1: these are the real questions that are going to have
Speaker 1: to come out. And also, by the way, the people
Speaker 1: that were in this Uhan lab, the researchers, the students,
Speaker 1: the interns, the grad students that were there, they were
Speaker 1: going back and forth from these caves in Yanan where
Speaker 1: the bat viruses were, back and forth again and again
Speaker 1: from Wuhan Tynn and they were not operated, they were
Speaker 1: not vaccinated, they were not taking anti virals, they were
Speaker 1: not doing provolactic here. So they were not taking any
Speaker 1: of the steps that would prevent a possible leak in
Speaker 1: any of this. And so that's why early on we've
Speaker 1: seen already intelligence reports and I know you've covered this
Speaker 1: book talking about in the fall of twenty nineteen there
Speaker 1: were people in that lab getting sick. That's what we've
Speaker 1: seen from US intelligence, Like Pompeo was talked about that
Speaker 1: when he was Secretary of State, and in many cases,
Speaker 1: by the way, it's been very quiet, but even members
Speaker 1: of the Biden administration and their intelligence leaders are saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: we've seen the same reports, and we believe that they
Speaker 1: are credible that there were people in this lab getting
Speaker 1: sick in the fall of twenty nineteen, which is way
Speaker 1: before the who got their report from China in December
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen. So something was going on, and China
Speaker 1: does not want to talk about it. And the fact
Speaker 1: of the matter is they're parts of the US government
Speaker 1: that really don't want to talk about it either. Speaking
Speaker 1: of Jack Posobik of One America News Network, and Jack,
Speaker 1: just what is the status right now of China with
Speaker 1: regard to reopen with regard to how it is, you know,
Speaker 1: viewing the pandemic, the Chinese economy, how are they doing well?
Speaker 1: I mean, China is one of the very first country
Speaker 1: to open up, so you look at what they did.
Speaker 1: They imposed very draconian lockdowns early on. Of course, China
Speaker 1: doesn't have any of the human rights safeguards that we
Speaker 1: have here in the United things private property. In China,
Speaker 1: there's no's the thing as you having rights with the government.
Speaker 1: If the government wants literally lock you in their house,
Speaker 1: they can walk up and do that, and that's what
Speaker 1: they were doing to certain departments, Uhan and other parts
Speaker 1: of the country. However, of course, at the same time
Speaker 1: they were shutting down domestic travel, they were also expanding
Speaker 1: international travel, and like in the case of Italy, they
Speaker 1: you had Chinese diplomats that were going over there demanding
Speaker 1: that Italy continue to accept Chinese airlines. They were continuing
Speaker 1: to do travel from between Italy and China and to
Speaker 1: allow Chinese citizens within Italy to return to China. So
Speaker 1: it seems very confusing. But then you go forward. Now
Speaker 1: China has rolled out everything they can to end the lockdowns,
Speaker 1: reopen up the people, and they're doing what's called targeted
Speaker 1: track and tracing where they're going after people who they
Speaker 1: believe are directly infected with this thing, lock them down specifically,
Speaker 1: and then everybody else gets back to normal. Their economy
Speaker 1: has been turned back on, their economy is starting a
Speaker 1: chug yet again. Wow, Jack, always appreciate you joining us
Speaker 1: on this stuff. Man, I just I wanted to ask
Speaker 1: you before we let you go. It feels to me
Speaker 1: like at some level, China, I mean, if you're just
Speaker 1: looking at the contest for the dominant global power here
Speaker 1: of you know which, whether American or Chinese civilization is advancing.
Speaker 1: If you view this as a zero sum situation against
Speaker 1: each other. China seems to have benefited. Do you think
Speaker 1: that's a fair assessment. Well, it seems it has played
Speaker 1: the hand that was dead to them and far better
Speaker 1: than we have. In me, we were much more worried
Speaker 1: about political correctness. We were more worried about quote unquote
Speaker 1: following the science and playing out to all the different
Speaker 1: things that not that you know, we took them as
Speaker 1: a mark of faith that you you know, you have
Speaker 1: to pass whatever guideline is put up by the CDC.
Speaker 1: Originally don't wear a masks and put masks on that
Speaker 1: everybody has to wear a masks even when you're outside,
Speaker 1: which makes no sense whatsoever. Right, they weren't following the data.
Speaker 1: They were taking it as an article of faith. Because
Speaker 1: in this country we put political correctness ahead of actual
Speaker 1: clients and actual data. We've done that to our detriment. China,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, has none stuff. You don't see
Speaker 1: these kind of things being rolled out in China, and
Speaker 1: because of that they were able to get their country
Speaker 1: back much faster than here in the United States and
Speaker 1: really across the last Jack Piso but one American news. Jack,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for anna talk to you soon appreciate.
Speaker 1: I've known at LEAs I campaign for a lease in
Speaker 1: her first In her first campaign, she was the youngest
Speaker 1: woman elected to the House of Representatives, and I think
Speaker 1: Lisa will bring some real good things to it. I
Speaker 1: also like Liz Cheney. I think Liz is smart and tough,
Speaker 1: but I think Liz is doing what she wants to do.
Speaker 1: I don't think Liz wants to be in leadership anymore
Speaker 1: because once she won the vote earlier, she continued to
Speaker 1: press this issue publicly in a way that was antagonizing
Speaker 1: the people who were against her. And I think you
Speaker 1: don't have an entitlement to be in leadership, but you
Speaker 1: do have an entitlement to be in Congress. You know,
Speaker 1: Liz Janey's gonna go, it seems like, so that's good,
Speaker 1: and she's not where the party wants to be. She's
Speaker 1: not where the party will win, and so it's working here.
Speaker 1: You know, the Democrats what they want is for you
Speaker 1: to think all Republicans and disarray and moving away from
Speaker 1: Trumpism and all this stuff. But now this is just
Speaker 1: just a little housekeeping, not not a big deal and
Speaker 1: not in any way going to make or break the
Speaker 1: mid terms or whoever's going to run on the Republican
Speaker 1: side for twenty twenty four. But you know, whenever they
Speaker 1: can point the media can help themselves. Whenever they can
Speaker 1: see what they believe to be a dissension among the
Speaker 1: you know, among the ranks, when they see problems breaking
Speaker 1: out on the Republican side, it's an opportunity to use
Speaker 1: that strife, to focus in on it, try to exacerbate it,
Speaker 1: try to create greater political advantage for the Democrats from it.
Speaker 1: So that's why you're seeing such a focus on this look.
Speaker 1: I think that it was it was outrageous that you
Speaker 1: had Liz Cheney support warding the effort to remove Donald Trump. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to prevent him from running again through the
Speaker 1: impeachment process, the second impeachment process. I mean to reward
Speaker 1: the maniacal, underhanded, disgraceful Democrats with any kind of bipartisan tinge,
Speaker 1: if you will, to the effort to impeach the president
Speaker 1: is something that politicians should be held account before. Mid
Speaker 1: Romney was what was he recently censured by the Utah
Speaker 1: Utah State Legislature. Great mid Romney deserves center. Mid Romney
Speaker 1: is weak. He's weak, He's not a man of courage
Speaker 1: and principle. He's a man who likes to be liked,
Speaker 1: you know. So he likes to be important, he likes
Speaker 1: to be center of attention, and he thinks he's just
Speaker 1: such an oh, just such a great guy. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: marched with BLM. You march with BLM. You're not a conservative.
Speaker 1: Your march with BLM. You're not part of the solution.
Speaker 1: You're part of the problem. Adam Kinsinger another guy who's
Speaker 1: just he's just playing this wrong. He's on the wrong side.
Speaker 1: Dare I say the wrong side of GOP history? Play sixteen,
Speaker 1: Liz Cheney is saying exactly what Kevin McCarthy said the
Speaker 1: day of the insurrection. She's just consistently been saying it,
Speaker 1: and a few weeks later Kevin McCarthy changed to attacking
Speaker 1: other people. And so I think what the reality is is,
Speaker 1: as a party, we have to have an internal look
Speaker 1: and a full accounting as to what led to January
Speaker 1: six I mean, right now, it's basically the Titanic. We're like,
Speaker 1: you know, in the middle of this slow sink. We
Speaker 1: have a band playing on the deck and telling everybody
Speaker 1: it's fine. And meanwhile, as I've said, you know, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's running around trying to find women's clothing and get
Speaker 1: on the first lifeboat. And I think there's a few
Speaker 1: of us that are just saying, guys, this is not good,
Speaker 1: not just for the future of the party, but this
Speaker 1: is not good for the future of this country. We're
Speaker 1: four months after January six an insurrection, something that was
Speaker 1: thinkable in this country, and the message from the people
Speaker 1: that want to get rid of Liz Cheney is to say,
Speaker 1: it's just time to focus on the future and move on,
Speaker 1: like this was ten years ago. And we've been obsessed
Speaker 1: about it since it's been four months. And we have
Speaker 1: so many people, including our leadership in the party that
Speaker 1: has not admitted that this is what it is, but
Speaker 1: which was an insurrection led by the President of the
Speaker 1: United States, well deserving of a full accounting from Republicans.
Speaker 1: He's a moron. It wasn't an insurrection, and he's controlled
Speaker 1: opposition and he should be absolutely repudiated in the next election.

Speaker 1: turns out we're seeing a mine. Administration has a pretty
Speaker 1: clear propensity to want to spend more money, and this
Speaker 1: starts to raise taxpayer money. Of course, this starts to
Speaker 1: raise some interesting questions. When is it, I know you're
Speaker 1: dealing with this in a piece this week, when when
Speaker 1: do we actually spend enough money on anything we Have
Speaker 1: we ever actually spent enough money on education per pupil
Speaker 1: per year? Have we ever spent enough money on roads?
Speaker 1: Have we spent you know, I just want to know,
Speaker 1: because it seems like more money is always the answer, right,
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's this we neither way kind
Speaker 1: of proposition sense that if you say, okay, well, Democrats
Speaker 1: first of all, could have spent whatever they wanted because
Speaker 1: they unilaterally and part through a partisan vote passed their bill.
Speaker 1: And let's not let's remember as well, we spent another
Speaker 1: four trillion dollars in addition to the two trillion dollars
Speaker 1: we just spent before right during the you know, before
Speaker 1: the election so or yeah before so um. They'll say, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we need to spend this money save the economy,
Speaker 1: and then we come in seven hundred thousand jobs short
Speaker 1: of what economists were expecting. It's one of the worst
Speaker 1: job courts I can remember in history. None of his
Speaker 1: promises came true. And then they say, oh, well, yes,
Speaker 1: because Republicans didn't want to spend more. Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: Republicans are not in the way of you spending. You
Speaker 1: can spend as much as you want. There's no filibuster
Speaker 1: on spending. Spend more money if you think it's going
Speaker 1: to work, or maybe what you're doing is not right.
Speaker 1: You know, you're disincentivizing people to work with an unemployment
Speaker 1: insurance stuff. You can we dig into that for a second.
Speaker 1: I don't want to interrupt your flow here, but that's yeah,
Speaker 1: because because we keep hearing about this and it gets dismissed.
Speaker 1: I don't think it should be dismissed at all. If
Speaker 1: I were an hourly worker, right, if I were somebody's
Speaker 1: getting paid by the hour work at a restaurant or
Speaker 1: any number of jobs, and I did the math in
Speaker 1: my head, and it was I can make the same
Speaker 1: money staying home and not working as I do going
Speaker 1: into my job. I probably wouldn't do that job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's human nature. I mean something like, you know,
Speaker 1: we're not even allowed to mention this anymore. It's not
Speaker 1: even it's not even that you're lazy. It's just that
Speaker 1: you know you can make more money not working. Why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you do it? It doesn't make any sensory not
Speaker 1: to do it. And you know, I saw some you know,
Speaker 1: liberals saying, you know, we have a failed economy if
Speaker 1: you have to, if that's how little you're going to make,
Speaker 1: you know, they just don't value the way that we should.
Speaker 1: And you know, you have a bunch of people who
Speaker 1: are staying home. It's clear in the numbers, and you
Speaker 1: know that that's just under It's not like these are
Speaker 1: forever jobs. These are jobs that you use to get
Speaker 1: into the economy. These are jobs you use to move
Speaker 1: up the ladder. These are jobs young people get. There's
Speaker 1: just no reason to treat them as if there's something
Speaker 1: wrong with it. So I don't know, I mean, I
Speaker 1: think it has a it's hard to tell what effect
Speaker 1: it had or how much of this is that, but
Speaker 1: it's clearly a part of it. Well, I also think
Speaker 1: that we get we get into this loop where Biden
Speaker 1: in the Joint Address to the Address to a Joint
Speaker 1: Session of Congress, you know, the de facto State of
Speaker 1: the Union that he gave, kept talking about Democrats creating
Speaker 1: millions of jobs, as if we need the government to
Speaker 1: do this. And I feel like this, this is a
Speaker 1: a root fallacy that we keep coming up against. We
Speaker 1: have all these different you know, sectors and all this,
Speaker 1: all these different companies and industries. When did it become
Speaker 1: the government's job to think that it actually creates jobs, well,
Speaker 1: other than for bureaucrats, I mean obviously if I'm not
Speaker 1: talk about govern emplyees, I mean the private sector. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it is a fallacy, and it's it's something
Speaker 1: that we should be saying. I mean, you have this
Speaker 1: happening since the Obama administration, probably before um where the
Speaker 1: government says it created and saved jobs. You remember that
Speaker 1: algorithm or whatever they had, So it is, um it's
Speaker 1: a fallacy, and it makes people think that the government's
Speaker 1: there to help them create, you know, get a job
Speaker 1: or create a job, which is not how it works.
Speaker 1: You have you have this, you have this. You know
Speaker 1: he wants to create this welfare system, which is bad enough,
Speaker 1: but then you have essentially saying this is the kind
Speaker 1: of job people should have, green jobs, these jobs, that
Speaker 1: jobs and allowing organic job growth in a vibrant market.
Speaker 1: And it's clear over and over again that their way
Speaker 1: doesn't work. People forget Obama's stimulus plan did not work.
Speaker 1: We had the slowest recovery in the history of America.
Speaker 1: It is not the way to recover. The way to
Speaker 1: recover is to let people go back to work. And
Speaker 1: this is a you know, this was an artificial recession
Speaker 1: needed by the government locking down businesses. There was really
Speaker 1: no reason for it. So if you let people go
Speaker 1: back to work, they're going to create jobs, and what
Speaker 1: you're doing is depressing that with dumb policies. What is
Speaker 1: the dumbest thing that you think the Biden team has
Speaker 1: done so far? We're speaking of David Harsani of National Review.
Speaker 1: Everybody go to Nationalview dot com for his latest But David,
Speaker 1: take that one on for me. I mean, we're like,
Speaker 1: you know, day one hundred and you know, twenty or
Speaker 1: something whatever it is, So what's the dumbest thing so
Speaker 1: far for you. I essentially don't have anything they've done,
Speaker 1: so it's hard for me to answer this, but I
Speaker 1: will say this. I think they had a chance. He
Speaker 1: had a chance. I'm not even saying this as some
Speaker 1: sort of revisionist history or anything. I really mean that
Speaker 1: the chance to bring the country together. He could have
Speaker 1: gone forward with some moderate policies that everyone could agree on,
Speaker 1: just to get people to get together and move forward.
Speaker 1: And instead he's embraced the farthest left policies that any
Speaker 1: president has ever embraced, starting with getting the High Amendment
Speaker 1: on abortion to you know it's to spending trillions of
Speaker 1: dollars on union ballouts, and you know, and all of
Speaker 1: everything he's done. Okay, so but you haven't. You haven't
Speaker 1: liked a lot of things that Biden administration has done. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, if you're looking at this now and seeing
Speaker 1: and I'm asking you to tell me what you think
Speaker 1: are the biggest blunders that they've made, what comes to mind.
Speaker 1: I think the stimulus plan. I think, you know, it's
Speaker 1: popular now, but in the long run, just like the
Speaker 1: Obama stimulus plan, it wasn't popular. It just seemed like
Speaker 1: wasteful spending that didn't help the economy. I think this
Speaker 1: job's miss is a huge, huge, huge thing that is
Speaker 1: going to change the perceptions people have about what is
Speaker 1: doing in the long run, especially if it's followed up
Speaker 1: by another poor showing. So I think that that that's
Speaker 1: the dumbest thing he's done, especially right off the bat.
Speaker 1: Now we're speaking of David Harsani of Nashal Review and
Speaker 1: David I focus somewhat today on the show on on
Speaker 1: wokeness training and and you know, these documents have come out.
Speaker 1: Chris Rufo from City Journal has gone his hands on
Speaker 1: these documents about what they're what they're making people sit
Speaker 1: through and and partake in. It's not just like you're
Speaker 1: an active you know, you're you're you're an inactive participant.
Speaker 1: You have to you know, do these workshops and say
Speaker 1: these things and write down you know, this this hierarchy
Speaker 1: of the of the different sins of white privilege and
Speaker 1: all this stuff. This is I don't I don't understand
Speaker 1: how anyone can see this as anything other than madness.
Speaker 1: I know that it benefits some people, but when you
Speaker 1: look at the top of Disney, for example, these aren't
Speaker 1: people that are. They're not woke, and the people running
Speaker 1: the company aren't. They're not worried about diversity at the
Speaker 1: very top, you know, they're not worried about how much
Speaker 1: money they make compared to the average worker. It just
Speaker 1: all feels so obviously phony. But the Democrat Party wholesale
Speaker 1: embraces all this critical race theory stuff. I mean, I
Speaker 1: suspect that they're scared. They're terrified that they're terrified that
Speaker 1: if they don't do it, they're going to be in trouble.
Speaker 1: They're terrified that they're going to be called out, their
Speaker 1: company is going to be called out, and there they
Speaker 1: would never say anything because racism is a vile smear
Speaker 1: on most people. I'm not saying they're on any racist
Speaker 1: out there, and it's easy to do, and it's been
Speaker 1: accepted by mainstream press and others, you know, white privilege
Speaker 1: and these ideas, and I think, you know, even by
Speaker 1: some people on the right. David French I saw wrote that,
Speaker 1: you know, what's the big deal? People can just sign
Speaker 1: off on this. It's not real. It's not as if
Speaker 1: they care, well I care. I care. I wouldn't want
Speaker 1: to say that I'm a racist or that there's white
Speaker 1: supremacy in this country, or there there's even white privilege.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry say I'm not saying that never happens. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying I don't think it's systemic. I don't think
Speaker 1: that most people are racist. I think that this is
Speaker 1: a meritocracy largely speaking. And I wouldn't want to sign
Speaker 1: off it's lying, and I wouldn't want to lie about
Speaker 1: something like that, And I wouldn't want to demean myself
Speaker 1: or say, you know to my kids that this is
Speaker 1: a certain kind of country that it's not, and all
Speaker 1: those things matter to me. And I'm not sure you
Speaker 1: know it's going to change until we all start standing.
Speaker 1: It's easy for me, I'm a writer to say this,
Speaker 1: I think as until regular people stand up and say no,
Speaker 1: it's going to keep going. Yeah, and I gotta that
Speaker 1: that David French would say that. I mean, they're they're
Speaker 1: also doing this to kids, They're doing this to eight
Speaker 1: year olds, they're brain from them too. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's horrible French. And you know, I'm not speaking for
Speaker 1: obviously for David here because I'm picking my own fights.
Speaker 1: I mean, French is somebody who was essentially broken by Trumpism,
Speaker 1: and I've I've in the back of the day I
Speaker 1: had him on radio. We had many conversations about conservatism.
Speaker 1: He somehow always and this is now a movement within
Speaker 1: the right, he always finds a way to take the
Speaker 1: position that advantages the left at the expense of the
Speaker 1: right while pretending to be the real conservative. And I
Speaker 1: find that particularly gross. Just just just speaking for myself
Speaker 1: with that, Yah, I like David Right. I don't have
Speaker 1: a personal problem with I just disagree with what he's
Speaker 1: doing right now. I think that he is super sensitive
Speaker 1: to anything that goes on the right, goes on on
Speaker 1: the right, blows up things that go on the right
Speaker 1: beyond the proportion they should be, and is very forgiving
Speaker 1: of things that go on on the left that I
Speaker 1: think that he should find, let's say, on abortion, that
Speaker 1: he should find odious. And so, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just I'm not trying to pick on him. I
Speaker 1: just know I'm not. I wasn't. I was just speaking
Speaker 1: for myself. I mean, I think what he's doing is awful.
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's upsetting to me because I think
Speaker 1: he knows better. And I think that for a man
Speaker 1: who pretends to care so much about principle, and that's
Speaker 1: why he had his beef with Trump. He's led his
Speaker 1: personal stuff and he's not alone here, but he's led
Speaker 1: his personal stuff completely cloud his judgment about what this
Speaker 1: what what conservatism is trying to conserve, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: and anyway, so that just to struck a nerve with me,
Speaker 1: because he's part of this never Trump or chorus. Then
Speaker 1: now we see there's no Trump anymore, and somehow there's
Speaker 1: always still an explanation that makes that that says what
Speaker 1: the left is doing isn't really that bad and the
Speaker 1: real problem or the people on the right that are
Speaker 1: fighting against this, and it bothers me. I find it
Speaker 1: as somebody who also works in this medium and rights
Speaker 1: in those radio I find those never trumpers to be
Speaker 1: this is like a mental illness. Now they need to
Speaker 1: get past it. They I thought they were supposed to
Speaker 1: come back on the team now David and a lot
Speaker 1: of them not really back on the team, really doing
Speaker 1: a lot of good work. You know, it's like the
Speaker 1: Lincoln Project phenomenon. It's really not much better than that
Speaker 1: from some of these guys. So you know, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not not even him, but you know, Bullwark, whatever, folks,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just Democrats now, and I'm not sure
Speaker 1: where we have to pretend otherwise. Listen, I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't like Trump, and that's fine by me.
Speaker 1: I didn't like a lot of what he did either.
Speaker 1: But the problem is that if you're more offended by
Speaker 1: his you know, you're still talking about him now as
Speaker 1: if he's you know, you're obsessed with him, and you're
Speaker 1: not talking about people in power with guns, with policies,
Speaker 1: with executive orders. Um. You know that that to me
Speaker 1: shows that you that's not it's just about you know,
Speaker 1: it's about that you don't like guys aware American flag
Speaker 1: shirts and you don't like guys trucks. Correct and uh
Speaker 1: and and if that's if it's a thing for you,
Speaker 1: it's people with guns that you don't like, then then
Speaker 1: you're not really a conservative anymore. You can be something else,
Speaker 1: but you're not part of the mean thrust of a
Speaker 1: conservatism is about today, and that's you know, you don't
Speaker 1: have to be. But let's not pretend we's being a
Speaker 1: David Harsani, Senior writer at National Review with David the
Speaker 1: the Elon Musk I was. I tuned in for just
Speaker 1: a minute or two because it was Elon Musk and
Speaker 1: I happen to be, you know, at home, or not
Speaker 1: at home, I happen to be in a you know,
Speaker 1: in a hotel room with nothing else going on late
Speaker 1: at night, and so I threw on SNL for a second.
Speaker 1: And I first, first of all, it's it's it's shockingly
Speaker 1: bad as just a comedic enterprise, right. I mean, I
Speaker 1: it's amazing to me that NBC puts this on TV
Speaker 1: and isn't embarrassed by it. But even beyond that, for comedians,
Speaker 1: I mean, Dave Chappelle has has said no one's woken
Speaker 1: off because you know, you can Elon Musk. Elon Musk
Speaker 1: isn't some dogmatic conservative right wing or anything. He just
Speaker 1: doesn't always tow the left wing line. There were SNL
Speaker 1: people complaining about him guest hosting, like this is a
Speaker 1: big issue for them. This guy's like a genius who
Speaker 1: some people think is changing the world. SNL is lucky
Speaker 1: that he spits in their general direction, but he's not
Speaker 1: woke enough. Hey probably. I mean I haven't seen the ratings.
Speaker 1: I shim they're pretty good. I find it funny that
Speaker 1: you have to make excuses for you why you watch
Speaker 1: because it's terrible, right. I mean, it's like I have
Speaker 1: to say, I didn't watch it. I don't care enough.
Speaker 1: Usually i'll see watch if there's something like this, I'll
Speaker 1: watch the clips later on YouTube or whatever. But I
Speaker 1: sort of like him because he doesn't care what people.
Speaker 1: I never could understand why a billionaire would ever care
Speaker 1: what anyone was telling him to say or not say.
Speaker 1: I mean, money for me is the freedom to be
Speaker 1: who you are, right, save the things you want to.
Speaker 1: That's security. But and he stopped caring, and I like
Speaker 1: that about him. But that show, I haven't watched it
Speaker 1: in so many years. I haven't. I just don't find
Speaker 1: it funny. I you know, I haven't found it funny
Speaker 1: for a long time. I don't even know who's on
Speaker 1: in the cast now, so, um, I didn't watch it,
Speaker 1: but it is I do find it funny that these guys,
Speaker 1: you know, you could have on the furthest left wing
Speaker 1: person imaginable, right, you can have on the craziest person
Speaker 1: to be fine with it. But but Elon Musk is
Speaker 1: doing all these incredible things. You know, sometimes I don't
Speaker 1: like that he takes a lot of government money to
Speaker 1: do it. But whatever, you know, he's doing all these
Speaker 1: amazing things. This is the problem for you. Talk to
Speaker 1: you anytime. Is it hurting America's pandemic recovery? That word
Speaker 1: foxitus it was coined by a lawyer defending one of
Speaker 1: the suspects in the pro Trump riot. It's almost Fox
Speaker 1: News made me do it kind of defense fox mania,
Speaker 1: the lawyer said. He said his client lost his job
Speaker 1: the pandemic and then watched Fox constantly for the next
Speaker 1: six months. Quote he believed what was being fed to him. Indeed,
Speaker 1: many Fox views came away with a distinct impression the
Speaker 1: President Trump was robbed, that the election was rigged. But
Speaker 1: that is just one of the symptoms of foxitis. Other
Speaker 1: possible symptoms are fear of the unknown, fear of a
Speaker 1: diversifying America, anger about cancel culture but only when conservatives
Speaker 1: are affected, belief the Democrats and news outlets and tech
Speaker 1: firms are all radical villains. Perhaps one of the symptoms
Speaker 1: is even the ability to forget what you've seen with
Speaker 1: your own eyes. The guys, the most sort of slimy
Speaker 1: and pathetic of all cable news hosts in so many ways.
Speaker 1: It's amazing the fact that is, perhaps it made you
Speaker 1: care about a cancel culture, except when it only affects you. Really,
Speaker 1: who are who are the leftists who have been canceled
Speaker 1: over doing nothing? You know, who are the people that
Speaker 1: you pull too that have been canceled on the left.
Speaker 1: I just want to know that didn't do something that
Speaker 1: was truly awful? Right, Who is you know other than
Speaker 1: like people that were you know, Democrat darlings who turned
Speaker 1: out to be rapists or you know, abusers of young
Speaker 1: children or something, who has been canceled on the left.
Speaker 1: I just want to know, Yeah, oh the habits as
Speaker 1: that too big tech or villa it's not big tech,
Speaker 1: or are suppressive authoritarians who have created a political monoculture,
Speaker 1: or you have to be left wing or else you're evil. Yes,
Speaker 1: that that is what they've done, and they've shut that.
Speaker 1: This is real. This is reality. Maybe if CNN allowed
Speaker 1: people on the right to go and actually present the
Speaker 1: case of people on the right on air, they would
Speaker 1: have some idea of what the what the heck the
Speaker 1: other side thinks about? But they couldn't do that because
Speaker 1: people like me, and it's not just me, it's not
Speaker 1: about me. A lot of others out there, a lot
Speaker 1: of conservative we'd wipe the floor with these fools if
Speaker 1: we actually were given airtime to make the case about
Speaker 1: issues like this. Do you think do you think that
Speaker 1: Brian Stelter could handle someone like me in a debate?
Speaker 1: By the way, he's not even He's third tier even
Speaker 1: for the Libs. But I'm just saying, think about all
Speaker 1: the other all the other conservatis you put on there.
Speaker 1: I mean, I could rattle off thirty conservatives off top
Speaker 1: of my head that none of the CNN hosts could
Speaker 1: handle in an actual debate on any of these issues.
Speaker 1: That's why they work for a legacy media institution that
Speaker 1: is just you know, pasting on on what had been
Speaker 1: done before they came on board. And they have an
Speaker 1: enormous institutional advantage over a lot of startup media, and
Speaker 1: so that's why they keep pushing this stuff. But I
Speaker 1: just think it's funny. I just I always like to
Speaker 1: take a moment, you know, Brian. It's good that Brian
Speaker 1: Stelter exists because we have a person who is like
Speaker 1: the equivalent of like just a piece of rolled up
Speaker 1: you know, rolled up though, who goes on the fact,
Speaker 1: here's a question, why does why does Bryan Stilter have
Speaker 1: a television show? The answer, he looks like Jeff Zucker
Speaker 1: and Jeff Zucker gets to run CNN like his little fiefdom.
Speaker 1: That's why. So it's not a fair world we live in, folks.
Speaker 1: I can I can tell you that much. The show
Speaker 1: ain't over yet, folks. It's time for roll call, produce
Speaker 1: some mark. What's up man? How are you doing? Buddy?
Speaker 1: How was your weekend? Tell everybody what's going on? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm hanging in there a bit exhausted, long weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you do? Well, everybody? Basically, my wife and
Speaker 1: I have a storage unit in New Jersey and we
Speaker 1: had to move it to Long Island by ourselves with
Speaker 1: a U haul. So that that wasn't fun. Moving stuff
Speaker 1: always takes more time, more effort, and is more stressful
Speaker 1: than anticipated. That's what I found out. How whatever you
Speaker 1: think it will be, it's worse than that. Yeah. Just
Speaker 1: and just doing it yourself too, Like I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: hire a mover's just to you know, move a storage unit.
Speaker 1: So I did it myself and it was just just
Speaker 1: a lot. Well, it's because but you got exciting stuff
Speaker 1: coming up here. We're we're hoping we're gonna get prod
Speaker 1: some more. Closing on a house sometime this week, Yes,
Speaker 1: the condo, you know, don't I don't have house money, Buck,
Speaker 1: but I have cond of money, you know what I mean? Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: So hopefully sometime this week ago will be closing. It's
Speaker 1: just a matter of you know, getting the schedules worked
Speaker 1: out at this point, so nothing hopefully nothing bad can happen.
Speaker 1: You never know, though, very nice two bedroom, two bedrooms.
Speaker 1: You had a room for a little mark, a little
Speaker 1: Mark junior or a little marquet. No comments, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just say I please to say a little little bit
Speaker 1: of space, A little bit of space there, a little space.
Speaker 1: It's very or or just when we're doing a late
Speaker 1: night you know, late night tape session because of the
Speaker 1: crazy news cycle, you know, I mean, maybe Buck just
Speaker 1: passes out in the guest bedroom one night, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah, even though we have technology that
Speaker 1: we haven't seen each other in over a year. But yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: if you needed that critically, sure, I'm saying I appreciate that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, do you get does missus Mark give
Speaker 1: approval for this to be set up like a man cave.
Speaker 1: The extra bedroom. No, I actually planned on. I said,
Speaker 1: Oh great, I'm gonna have an office. Wonderful. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: she doesn't like that. Nah, well, because what's the point
Speaker 1: to be setting up an office? And then you know,
Speaker 1: who knows how long down the line it's not an
Speaker 1: office anymore. Yeah. Well, from what I understand, a crib
Speaker 1: takes up a lot of room in your office. I
Speaker 1: believe it would take up quite a lot of room.
Speaker 1: And I think you wouldn't like to do the show
Speaker 1: based on a baby's sleep schedule. Yeah, I like that
Speaker 1: very much. That would also be a challenge. I would
Speaker 1: say that would be a challenge. For sure. You're a
Speaker 1: very understanding person, but I don't think you'd have that understanding. No, No,
Speaker 1: I am not. That would be that would be a
Speaker 1: difficult thing, difficult thing to have. You know, my little sister,
Speaker 1: I have a nephew, Ryan. His name is Ryan. I
Speaker 1: call him baby Ryan because he's a baby and he
Speaker 1: is a six months old. And I gotta say, it's
Speaker 1: so much fun and whenever I go over, he just
Speaker 1: he just wants to like giggle and pull my beard
Speaker 1: and it's just so fun. To see this little human
Speaker 1: who's developing all the time and learning more stuff. And
Speaker 1: I would saying my sister, all this is amazing. She's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't have to get up at four am and
Speaker 1: five am and seven am and you know, And I'm like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that sounds rough. So all the parents out there, I
Speaker 1: really mean this, for all the parents listening to this show.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do it. I don't know
Speaker 1: how you do it, you know. I I love Toolula
Speaker 1: the French bulldog, but I gotta say great to visit.
Speaker 1: But having had her for a whole year, I don't
Speaker 1: spend as much, you know, I don't spend as much
Speaker 1: time you know, these days work dealing with that as
Speaker 1: I was. And that even a dog is a lot,
Speaker 1: and that's a canine, not actually human being, is all
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. Yeah, dogs are a lot. Baby
Speaker 1: Here's how I know babies are a lot. I obviously
Speaker 1: do not have one, and I don't will not have one,
Speaker 1: uh for a little bit of time. But uh, my friend,
Speaker 1: my wife's friends just had a baby and we visited
Speaker 1: them for the first time. I actually held the baby
Speaker 1: for the first time this weekend and they just look
Speaker 1: so tired. Like you have you ever noticed that when
Speaker 1: somebody has a newborn, they just look at you can
Speaker 1: you don't even have to speak to them. You all
Speaker 1: you have to do is look at them, and you know, oh,
Speaker 1: I can feel there fatigue. I could feel my little
Speaker 1: sister's fatigue when I went over, especially those first couple
Speaker 1: of months after she had the baby. You know, and
Speaker 1: she's she's rock solid. I mean, she works super hard
Speaker 1: as a lawyer, and you know, she's really she's really
Speaker 1: on her game all the time. But man, a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of stress and lost sleep and stuff
Speaker 1: from you know, you have this little tiny human you
Speaker 1: have to givet to keep healthy and happy. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a lot. So yeah, at least a dog will
Speaker 1: like tell you when it's hungry, Like a baby's not
Speaker 1: gonna do that. You have to be on top of that.
Speaker 1: The other the other side of the equation in terms
Speaker 1: of responsibility is definitely being in downtown Nashville for the
Speaker 1: weekend with the snow Princess and hearing they have these
Speaker 1: buses that drive around. It's a bus, but it's like
Speaker 1: the bus the top of the sort of roof of
Speaker 1: the bus is gone or the bus is kind of
Speaker 1: open air, if that makes sense. The way like an
Speaker 1: almost like a trolley car maybe or something. And these
Speaker 1: buses just drive around Mark playing the loudest country and
Speaker 1: hip hop music you've ever heard in your life, while
Speaker 1: bachelorette parties, of course, all wearing cowboy hats, are all
Speaker 1: going whoa and just drinking their faces off all day long,
Speaker 1: all over the place. Have hot tubs in the trucks too.
Speaker 1: Yes I didn't see a hot tub version, but I've
Speaker 1: heard about that. Yes they do have them, but I
Speaker 1: saw it just all these and they have these ones
Speaker 1: also where you have to pedal and you know, to
Speaker 1: make the thing go. So you've got thirty people or
Speaker 1: something that are all peddling, sitting on a mobile bar
Speaker 1: that looks like a bus, but their power touring it
Speaker 1: by pedaling. And I'm just telling you, you know, if
Speaker 1: I'm taking shots of Jose Quervo and listening to Britney Spears,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to be peddling, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yeah, I wouldn't go with the
Speaker 1: pedaling one. I would definitely go with the being driven
Speaker 1: around one. But that actually sounds fun. Yeah, no, people
Speaker 1: people love it. I mean it's it's big. Apparently Nashville
Speaker 1: is the bachelorette capital of the country. Now, yes, it's
Speaker 1: where more people go for their bachelor parties than anywhere else.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's it's it's a thing. It's a thing
Speaker 1: that people really really enjoy. So there were a lot
Speaker 1: of ladies. And I'm also just not used to seeing
Speaker 1: a pack of ten to fifteen ladies at a time,
Speaker 1: one after another, just stumbling drunk. And I will tell
Speaker 1: you this, and I might get a little trouble person mark.
Speaker 1: They can be kind of loud, so like when you're
Speaker 1: at a restaurant or you're walking down the street, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, just oh my god, you say this guy,
Speaker 1: how have I made it? This is like all they're
Speaker 1: all their voices. I think it's when they get enough
Speaker 1: soco and lime shots the bachelorette party, girl's voice just
Speaker 1: go up like I don't know how many decibels. You
Speaker 1: know more about audio than I do, but many decibels
Speaker 1: you know very much. Did you expect to go to
Speaker 1: Nashville for like a quiet, fun time. No, we just
Speaker 1: wanted to go and you know, just have a weekend
Speaker 1: there and just get away from a city for a
Speaker 1: little bit. Oh. We had a great by the way,
Speaker 1: the food's amazing, that people are super nice. You have
Speaker 1: you been in Nashville. I haven't, but I've heard it's
Speaker 1: an awesome party city. It is an awesome party city. Yes,
Speaker 1: that is true. No, look I I we had a
Speaker 1: great time. It was really nice. We stayed in downtown
Speaker 1: and there's all these cute neighborhoods that we went to
Speaker 1: just to sort of, you know, I like to go
Speaker 1: to the local coffee shops and go to some funky
Speaker 1: restaurants and just sort of see how people live in
Speaker 1: different parts of other cities. Nashville's great town. Great town,
Speaker 1: and I really recommend if anyone who hasn't been recently
Speaker 1: or has never been, definitely go check it out, just
Speaker 1: because what I did. Just take a weekend their weekend vacation.
Speaker 1: It's a great week Nashville, Savannah, Austin, Austin are the
Speaker 1: best weekend vacation cities I've been to in the States.
Speaker 1: I gotta say. So, those are all really great, great
Speaker 1: places to go check out. But oh no, just the
Speaker 1: bachelorette party things specifically, I mean these girls they show
Speaker 1: up the party, my friend, they're not messing around, of
Speaker 1: course they do. You only have a bachelorette party once, hypothetically,
Speaker 1: so might as well have fun. That's true. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's get to some actual roll call here where if
Speaker 1: you want to write in, just go to Facebook dot
Speaker 1: com slashbuck Sexton send us a message message. You can
Speaker 1: also email us Team Bucket. iHeartMedia dot com. We got Jeremiah,
Speaker 1: He writes in with the first year, Buck, You've been
Speaker 1: talking lately about conservatism what it means to be conservative.
Speaker 1: Rush used to say that conservatism has a branding issue,
Speaker 1: and I agree. Part of the problem is the word
Speaker 1: conservative itself, especially contrasted with liberal. One implies open to
Speaker 1: change in freedom, the other implies old and closed to change.
Speaker 1: For example, one look at the Conservative Party in Britain,
Speaker 1: which is for preserving British traditions. Patriarchal religious societies the
Speaker 1: Middle East are referred to as conservative. I understand that
Speaker 1: our using of the term comes for wanting to conserve
Speaker 1: the Constitution. But when you think about people who work
Speaker 1: to conserve resources or nature, we call them conservationists. Those
Speaker 1: who work to conserve literature or art collections are called conservators.
Speaker 1: So I think we have a branding issue. Calling ourselves
Speaker 1: conservative implies being old, stagy, backward, and resistant to change.
Speaker 1: As Rush once said, we need to redefine what being
Speaker 1: conservative means. And I think that only happens by completely
Speaker 1: rebranding ourselves. You know, Jeremiah, I agree. I think that
Speaker 1: you're onto something here, and I've felt this way for
Speaker 1: a long time. And as you know, I complain about
Speaker 1: this and it may seem like getting into minutia, but
Speaker 1: I think that it's a real loss that we have
Speaker 1: that our color as conservatives is red when it should
Speaker 1: it should be blue. And more to the point, liberals
Speaker 1: in this country are the reds. They're the socialists. They're
Speaker 1: the left, and they're not liberal. They're not about liberty.
Speaker 1: They're about state control. They're about the collective, defining and
Speaker 1: demanding of and ordering around the individual. So they are
Speaker 1: anti liberty. But it would be like the crazy party
Speaker 1: calling themselves the same party. Well, we're the same party,
Speaker 1: so how do you think we're crazy? It throws you off.
Speaker 1: These things matter. Politics is first and foremost really just
Speaker 1: a function of perception. Right, If you can get enough
Speaker 1: people to believe something. It doesn't matter what's really true.
Speaker 1: In terms of politics, you can get what you want,
Speaker 1: meaning the people that are being disingenuous, the people that
Speaker 1: are engaged in propaganda. So I like, I've always thought
Speaker 1: that on the right we should embrace more the idea
Speaker 1: of patriotism. And you know, the Patriot Party. Why do
Speaker 1: we give them liberty to use in there? Why can't
Speaker 1: we say that we are the party of patriotism. So
Speaker 1: when Trump brought that up recently, I know he's not
Speaker 1: the first one ever think of this, but I like
Speaker 1: that idea patriotism goes with America. First. Patriotism goes with
Speaker 1: the notion that there's something about loving America that should
Speaker 1: be a standard part of being an American. Because I
Speaker 1: think you see this quite clearly. The left does not
Speaker 1: love America. They love what they think they could turn
Speaker 1: America into if they had full control. But they have
Speaker 1: a lot of disdain for this place, not just for
Speaker 1: its history, but for its present as well, and for
Speaker 1: you and me for opposing them in all of this.
Speaker 1: So I do believe that that we have a bit
Speaker 1: of a branding issue. And you know, just the notion
Speaker 1: that the right has is often used you know, right
Speaker 1: wing kind of has this woo someone's right wing. No,
Speaker 1: we should we should have brace these terms and use them.
Speaker 1: You know, right wing is something we should be proud of.
Speaker 1: You know, right wing shouldn't be something that has this
Speaker 1: connotation of oh, extreme, Why is right wing extreme? Left wing?
Speaker 1: They don't think of as extreme. It is, but they
Speaker 1: don't think of it that way. The media certainly doesn't.
Speaker 1: The the Democrat Party doesn't view it in that context.
Speaker 1: So we could use some help with our branding and
Speaker 1: our terminology. I mean, I just want to. I feel
Speaker 1: like the the unifying characteristic characteristics of people who are
Speaker 1: conservative in America today are those who see things for
Speaker 1: what they are and those who approach everything with some humility.
Speaker 1: I feel like those are two characteristics of the of
Speaker 1: conservatives in America today. We just try to see things
Speaker 1: with what they are, not what we wish they were,
Speaker 1: what we think government could make them into, not based
Speaker 1: on what are what are the accepted narratives thinking if
Speaker 1: you think for yourself and you approach important questions from
Speaker 1: the edgistential all the way down to the you know,
Speaker 1: the local government feud. If you think for yourself and
Speaker 1: you approach things with humility. You're a conservative in America today,
Speaker 1: and that's that's how I think we have most That's
Speaker 1: how I think we could define a lot of the separation.
Speaker 1: If you go with the group, the collective, go with
Speaker 1: the fads, the trends, and and think you have all
Speaker 1: the answers than anybody who disagrees with you is a
Speaker 1: bad person. You're a liberal, and which is a bad
Speaker 1: term for them. They're leftists. I've been saying this for years.
Speaker 1: You can go back to the Buck Sex and show
Speaker 1: the earliest days I've said, I've complained about it and
Speaker 1: said that we should. You know, we used to call
Speaker 1: them progressives on the show, call them authoritarians, leftists. They
Speaker 1: are not liberals, and calling them that gives them gives
Speaker 1: them that they do not deserve based on their ideologies,
Speaker 1: their beliefs, the way that they would the way that
Speaker 1: they goffered their actions too. So anyway, Jeremiah, clearly you
Speaker 1: struck a chord with me. I agree, and I think
Speaker 1: this is a work in progress that we have to
Speaker 1: really address. All right, more Row called Michael rights Hey
Speaker 1: producer markinback. I used to work at hines Field, a
Speaker 1: PNC Park. I do not think there was a jail
Speaker 1: in either the cops would either walk the person out
Speaker 1: or just take them to the county jail, which is
Speaker 1: very close Producer Market. Where's Where's Hines Field, and What's
Speaker 1: PNC Park? Those are the football and baseball stadiums in Pittsburgh, respectively.
Speaker 1: Ah okay, yeah, we said Philadelphia to be fair. So
Speaker 1: when we were talking about this the Eagles, I think
Speaker 1: you're just talking in general stadium jails, okay, but I
Speaker 1: think there is a Philadelphia stadium courthouse thing. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of stadiums have them. Some do, some don't.
Speaker 1: Guess it's depends. So yeah, he So he's not saying
Speaker 1: we were wrong on that. He's just saying, um, yeah,
Speaker 1: Eagles Court still exists, Okay, but they moved it. It's
Speaker 1: not a Lincoln Financial Field. It's Eleventh and Wharton Streets
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. Okay, So they did have, um some kind
Speaker 1: of here we go. Does the Eagle Stadium really have
Speaker 1: its own jail? Yes? The Philadelphia Eagles originally had a
Speaker 1: jail and a courtroom built in Veteran Stadium in the
Speaker 1: late nineties to deal with rowdy fans. Uh So, Yes,
Speaker 1: that is true. When Lincoln Financial Field was built, it
Speaker 1: was also built with a holding cell like its predecessor
Speaker 1: had installed. But it has been shuttered. Okay, so they
Speaker 1: had them at some of them have been shut down,
Speaker 1: but they did. They do exist in some places. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's want to I want to check make sure we're
Speaker 1: all about the facts here, Producer Philadelphia, look at him,
Speaker 1: Look at him, poke folks. I can't. I can't stop him. Prouser.
Speaker 1: Mark's running wild here, pokin Philly, Philly sports fans. I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't shut it down. I want to tell you
Speaker 1: there's no other fan base that threw snowballs at Santa Claus.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Jesus, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Producer Mark is a wild man here. He's just telling
Speaker 1: all you Philly sports fans. What's what? So I don't
Speaker 1: know what to tell you. Funny story, Michael writes, I
Speaker 1: was once waiting for the freight elevator and the cops
Speaker 1: had a drunk, rowdy guy in it. They said to him,
Speaker 1: we can either walk you out of here like a man,
Speaker 1: or drag you out like a blank. We weren't permitted
Speaker 1: to get on the elevator when the cops had someone
Speaker 1: so I never did find out what decision the drunk
Speaker 1: guy made. She'll say, well, good to know, good to know.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Stephen, writes buck Mark. Thanks for holding strong
Speaker 1: on what you do. The past year highlighted more clearly
Speaker 1: than ever the left and the ruling elites do not
Speaker 1: care about telling the truth. They only care to say
Speaker 1: whatever they believe will cajole or scale, or scare or
Speaker 1: threaten the masses into doing what the elites think is
Speaker 1: best for their own good. This fits right into the
Speaker 1: general ethos of the right and left. The left will
Speaker 1: point to a lack of perfection anywhere as falling short
Speaker 1: of a possible shared utopia under their rule, all while
Speaker 1: denying the inherent goodness and potential of people as individuals.
Speaker 1: The right accepts that men are flaw and perfect you
Speaker 1: can never be achieved, while still value in trusting in
Speaker 1: the goodness and the individual. Steven excellent, eloquent. Thank you
Speaker 1: for writing in Team That's a show for today, Back tomorrow,
Speaker 1: same time, same place. Shields high
