1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Shoe podcast, make sure 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. The new era of government 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: we're supposed to be in isn't exactly what we thought 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: it would be, isn't Or perhaps you were not listening 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: to the media you knew they were lying to you 7 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: when they said Joe Biden's gonna be just good old 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: blue collar Joe gonna be a reasonable guy, gonna play 9 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,639 Speaker 1: it straight, all about the unions and the working folks, right, 10 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: the usual clap trap from Joe Biden that he's been 11 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: peddling for decades now, while his party is all about 12 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: coastal elites, the ultra rich, welfare cases, identity politics, and 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: radical left wing Marxist ideology wherever they can get away 14 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: with it. That's what the Democrat Party actually is. But 15 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is supposed to fool people, and unfortunately it 16 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: worked well enough, but he won this last election full 17 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: them into thinking that no, no, it's going to be 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: a moderate Democrat party. Look at the number of executive 19 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: orders that Biden signed on his first day in office 20 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: compared to executive orders in a similar time period from 21 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: all the presidencies before him. Biden came into office with 22 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: a plan, not one that he had, one that has 23 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: been handed to him, and he is executing on it. 24 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: He's doing what he's told. He's taking the actions that 25 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: the apparatus around him is demanded. And we see this 26 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: with a number of issues. The ending of gender segregated 27 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: sports when it comes to transgender individuals, for example, there's 28 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: that issue which will return to you later in the show. 29 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: The ending of the building of the wall at the 30 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: southern border, so that's coming right before we're going to 31 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: have this whole push for amnesty. So a day facto 32 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: open border, joining the Paris Climate Accord, and now the 33 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: destruction of the Keystone Xcel pipeline project, preventing it from 34 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: being completed. Deciding that this is now done, it's over with. 35 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: Why would Joe Biden do this? The country is hurting. 36 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people who are out of work. 37 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: What we've really seen is a bifurcation, a separation of 38 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: the country into two into two very different classes. There 39 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: are the people that get to work where they want, 40 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: when they want, without any change in their wages, and 41 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: then the people that have to bring them their food. 42 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: The people that have to actually deliver things to the stores, 43 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: or work in the stores, or operate the nursing homes. 44 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: Right there are the folks that haven't really suffered during 45 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: this and don't really care about the suffering that the 46 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: rest of the country goes through, but talk a lot 47 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: about it. And then there the people that have to 48 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: deal with the negative consequences in very personal terms of 49 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: these lockdowns. They have to deal with the downside, the 50 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: downside that's constantly minimized in media discussions about all of this. 51 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: The Keystone Xcel is just a harbinger of things to come, 52 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: don't you see. There's no real justification for this. It's 53 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: utter nonsense. But the enviral wacko left views this as 54 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: a religious a religious fight. This is a jihad of 55 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: sorts to stop the Keystone Xcel pipeline from being built 56 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: because of the theoretical threat to wet lands or yeah, 57 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: it could possibly spill. They say, well, guess what. The 58 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: gas is still coming out of the ground. The oil 59 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: is still coming up. Now, it's just going to be 60 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 1: distributed by trucks and other mechanisms that are actually much 61 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: more likely to have leakage and spills. So they're not 62 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: they're not helping the environment. They're not stopping any co 63 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: two from getting into the atmosphere with this move. But 64 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: more to the immediacy of it, you have thousands of 65 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: people that are now out of a job. Now, I 66 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: know that's only a drop in the bucket of all 67 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: those who are unemployed across the country, but it's not 68 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: a drop in the bucket if you're relying on that 69 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: paycheck to feed yourself and your family, keep a roof 70 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: over your head, to pay your mortgage. It means a 71 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: lot to those thousands of workers, and they're thousands of 72 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: family members. And it's indicative here of what the mindset 73 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: is of these these Democrat administration that's coming. They're not technocrats, 74 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: they're not savvy strategists. They're not a bunch of brilliant, 75 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: highly capable public servants who aren't going to push for 76 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: partisan nonsense. This is Obama two point zero. That's what 77 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: we're going through right now. Remember Obama, it was a 78 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of you know, bombastic talk, a 79 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: lot of eloquence, not a lot of substance. And the 80 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: actual substance that you saw from the policies of that 81 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,799 Speaker 1: administration were far left, dragging the country to the left. 82 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: No bipartisan outreach, no taking a center path, not being 83 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: judged on outcomes, a being judged on promises. That's really 84 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: where Democrats excel. And that's what you're already seeing. The 85 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: Democrats couldn't keep promises based on what they said to 86 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: get Joe Biden elected for a day once he was 87 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: in office. You really think that's going to get any better? 88 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: You think that's going to improve? What are we seeing 89 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: here from this Biden administration? These thousands of jobs that 90 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: are now up in smoke. Fascinating, isn't it that there 91 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: were posts on Facebook that were tagged as misleading information 92 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: about the Joe Biden the ramifications of the Joe Biden 93 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: cancelation of Keystone Excel. And you know how they went 94 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: through this. They said it's misleading because the estimate it 95 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: was eleven thousand jobs and over a billion dollars of 96 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: lost wages from not building this thing. And keep in 97 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: mind there's also all the additional profits and productivity and 98 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: energy security and domestic domestic production benefits that come from 99 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 1: having the pipeline and operation. And this is a great 100 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: thing for us with our Canadian neighbors. It was going 101 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: to be a joint US Canadian project. Justin Trudeau, a leftist, 102 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: wants it because he knows it's good for his country. 103 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: Biden shuts it down because the Obama team kept finding 104 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: ways to shut it down without saying that's really what 105 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: they were doing. They kept delaying it, and they would say, well, 106 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: we have to wait for a report from the State Department. 107 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: And then the report came out they didn't like it, 108 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: so they said, oh, well, we got to delay some more. 109 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: But these Facebook posts that were marked as misleading, Now 110 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: what they're doing is saying, well, these are projected job losses, 111 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: so since it's a projection, we can't really know, therefore 112 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: it's not true. Oh is that the new standard for 113 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: a fact check? If I say that there's an estimated, 114 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: you know, eleven thousand jobs that we lost from Keystone 115 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: Xcel and all the numbers going to something close to that, 116 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna fact check me. Now, they only do this 117 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: to anybody standing in the way of the consensus. Corporate 118 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: is left. They're shutting down our ability to speak, to communicate, 119 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: to share ideas. They are twisting the notion of a 120 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: fact check itself because it benefits them. Right now, it 121 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: turns out that it is thousands of jobs that are 122 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: being cost here by this one decision. It is at 123 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: least a billion dollars of wages lost. And you know 124 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: who's picking up this tab, union workers. A lot of 125 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: union workers were gonna be on this project. Now there's 126 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: no project. So the Democrats say, well, they're only temporary jobs. Okay, 127 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 1: have they ever men anybody who works in construction, because 128 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: most jobs in construction are temporary jobs. You know, you 129 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: don't build something forever. You build it till it's done, 130 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: then you move on to the next project. But it's 131 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: just another dodge. It's another dishonest way to try to 132 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: evade accountability for what has been done here, which is 133 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: just a straight up optics based ideological giveaway to the radical, 134 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: enviral wacko left. People who won't change their own behaviors. 135 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: Want to live in big fancy houses, drive big fancy cars, 136 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: fly private whenever they can. But you have to pay 137 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: higher energy prices, maybe even lose your job because we 138 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: can't have Mother Earth overheat. Don't know, it's an existential threat. 139 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: Who really believes that nonsense? I'm amazed when I meet 140 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: people that actually think that that's true. But there are 141 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: so many of them. You look at the polling and 142 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: even Democrats recognize that climate change is a very low 143 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: priority for a vast majority of them, because come on, 144 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: let's be serious human beings for a moment here. But 145 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: there is this minority when the Democrat party five ten, 146 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: maybe fifteen percent who walk around and they say that 147 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: it's an existential threat. Climate change is an existential threat, 148 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: and it's a badge of honor they think when they 149 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: say it shows how smart, how virtuous they are. It's 150 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: a joke, of course, when you look at the change 151 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: in fossil fuel usage globally over the last thirty years, 152 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: thanks to India and China, there basically is no change. 153 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: But oh, it's we're all supposed to be so thankful 154 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: for the climate change activists out there. They're doing such 155 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: great jobs, such a great way. You know. You know 156 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: who's not thankful though, the people who suffer the consequences 157 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: of bad decisions, the people that now have to go 158 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: home and think, how do I pay my rent? How 159 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: do I afford my groceries? Because good old blue collar 160 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: Joe loves the union workers just decided that thousands of 161 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: them have jobs that don't count enough. Here is a 162 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: manager of the Keystone Pipeline, Keystone XL Pipeline, what was 163 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: formerly known as because now of course the project's done, 164 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: telling folks about what's really going on. Hearing from him, 165 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: play three right now, the numbers of jobs are thousands 166 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: of jobs. There's Michaels, there's Precision pipeline that we've affected, 167 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: that the pipeline was going to be constructed. The actions 168 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: that were happened recently, we were doing station work. There's 169 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: hundreds of guys that got laid off. Jobs gone laid off. Sorry, 170 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: no more paycheck for you. Joe Biden wanted to pat 171 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: on the head from environmentalists who live in in Malibu 172 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: and Brooklyn. Sorry, too bad, no more job. These are 173 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: the Democrats that are supposed to care so much about 174 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: the working class. You know what their real plan is 175 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: to tax you, to tax the middle class, to tax 176 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: people who are earners more, to make your life more 177 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: expensive and more difficult, and to print more money to 178 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: give to other people. That is their plan. And the 179 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: whole time they're going to talk to you about how 180 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: much they care about the suffering and the struggles of 181 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: the working class, while all the major decision making is 182 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: going to make life harder for the working claus. Going 183 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: to make your healthcare premiums go up, going to make 184 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: your healthcare quality go down, going to make competition for 185 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: your job, particularly from illegal alien workers, go up, going 186 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: to make your wages go down. We are going to 187 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: see now the results of a Biden presidency, just like 188 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: we saw the results of the Obama presidency, and they 189 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: are weak, if not disastrous. But you know what they're 190 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: going to do. Keep people distracted with BLM protests against 191 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: those evil racist cops. Tell people how awful Trump was. 192 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: Just keep keep on the Orange Man bad routine. That'll 193 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: keep it all going, and have the media completely in 194 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: the pocket of this administration preventing not only does the 195 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: media refuse to ask real questions of the Biden administration, 196 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: I mean that's where you have real authoritarianism, when the 197 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: media and the government are working hand in glove. That's 198 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: where we are now. Yes, there are a few outposts 199 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: where real questions can still get asked, and the rest 200 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: of the media is trying to shut them down. So 201 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: it's not even that the the the media overall, That 202 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: journalism overall does the does the work of the Biden administration. 203 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: By refusing to ask real questions, they suppress real questions 204 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: from anybody else, And it's all going to be the narrative. Oh, 205 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: look at how great Joe. But look at that Look 206 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: at that big grin.

Federal government also owns an enormous fleet of 217 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: vehicles which we're going to replace with clean electric vehicles 218 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: made right here in America by American workers, creating millions 219 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: of job a million autoworker jobs, and clean energy and 220 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: vehicles that are net zero emissions. And together this will 221 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: be the largest mobilization of public investment and procurement, infrastructure 222 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: and r and decense World War two. Just going to 223 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: spend a whole lot of your tax dollars on electric cars. 224 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: That's gonna that's gonna save us. This is all ideologically driven. 225 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: This is not this is not based in good governance. 226 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: This is not based in anything that is important or 227 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: necessary for the day to day lives of the American 228 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: people right now. But you know, a net zero emission 229 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: vehicle fleet they want by what twenty thirty, twenty thirty five, 230 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: All this stuff that you're hearing. They use this very 231 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: very long timeline so that they can't be held responsible 232 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: for the expense, the loss, the frustration, the downside right now. 233 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: The downside will be apparent right away. But hey, they're 234 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: trying to get to a whole different world, man. That's 235 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: the game plan here, that's what they're doing. But it's 236 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: so interesting that Biden throws union workers on the Keystone 237 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: XL pipeline under the bus right away, because you know, 238 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: the Sierra Club, because the Chardonnay socialists who care much 239 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: more about species of eagle that they've never seen, or 240 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: of you know, owls that they'll never actually come across 241 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: in the wild, or perhaps a small fish, as in 242 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: the case of the Delta smelt in California. Go check 243 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: that one out if you're really curious how wacko the 244 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: Democrats are. They care more about that than they do 245 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: about the American people, American workers, you know, the folks 246 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: that have to work with their hands and do a 247 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: tough and rough job and receive a decent but not 248 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: nearly enough wage for it. They don't. They don't really 249 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: have respect for those people. But you know who does 250 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: get a lot of love from Biden and the rest 251 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: of the Democrats when it comes to unions, Public sectory unions. 252 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: That's right, Public sector unions are sacrosanct. Private sector unions 253 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: you can actually make a case for. You can understand, 254 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: especially people that are in hard, you know, laborious, hard work, 255 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: hard work situations, and they they band together and they 256 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: get better wages, better benefits, working conditions. Was what I 257 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: was trying to think of. That was afraid, hard, hard 258 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: working conditions. They come together and they have the possibility of, 259 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: you know, negotiating with management and striking better bargains. Public 260 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: sector unions, as you know, from the dawn of unionization 261 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: in this country, the public sector unions have been a 262 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: constant problem, and we're known in the beginning. I mean, 263 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: I think it was FDR who said that the idea 264 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: of public sector unions is crazy. You can't you can't 265 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: have political power growing in that way within the government, 266 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: then demanding wages and benefits where their only counterparty is 267 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,359 Speaker 1: the government, which they can then support through their union donations. 268 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: So of course it's the taxpayers writing all the checks. 269 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: It's not like management of a private company. So yeah, 270 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: they're going to give them everything they can get away with, 271 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: the biggest drag on, the biggest drag on taxpayers, and 272 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: a lot of you will see this in the taxes 273 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: paid on your homes, right, Why do those keep Why 274 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: does the assessment always go up? You're like, well, could 275 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: I even get this amount of money from my house 276 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: because my assessment keeps going up? Well, that's because you 277 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: are paying for munists, siple employees, particularly their pensions. Gotta 278 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: back end those benefits as much as possible. You're paying 279 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: for municipal employee pensions and medicaid. That's what runs state 280 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: and local budgets in this country off a cliff. Those 281 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: two things so you're paying for those municipal workers who 282 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: get to negotiate for their better benefits through a union 283 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: that doesn't have anybody to stop to step in and say, 284 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: hold on a second, that's unreasonable. No, if they can 285 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: get away with it without the Democrats in an area 286 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: suffering the political consequences, they'll do it. It doesn't matter 287 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,239 Speaker 1: how expensive it is over the long term. Well, this 288 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: has come up now in one big case in Chicago. 289 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: Let's dive into it. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks 290 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: for listening to The buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the 291 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: latest from Bucket buck Sexton dot com. I believe we 292 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: should make school classrooms safe and secure for the students, 293 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: for the teachers, and the help that's in those schools 294 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: maintaining the facilities. We need new ventilation system in those schools. 295 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: We need testing for people coming in and out of 296 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: the classes. We need testing for teachers as well as students. 297 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: And we need the capacity, the capacity to know that 298 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: in fact, the sick of the circumstance in the school 299 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: is safe and secure for everyone. So it's not so 300 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: much about the idea teachers aren't going to work. The 301 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: teachers I know they want to work they just want 302 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: to work in a safe environment and as safe as 303 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: we can rastically make it. And we can do that, 304 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: and we should be able to open up every school 305 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: kindergarten through eighth grade if in fact we administer these tests, 306 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: and we'll have the added advantage, I might add, of 307 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: putting millions of people pull back to work. Yeah, I 308 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: guess what. The teachers union in Chicago, one of the 309 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: largest school districts in the country, shot down Joe Biden's 310 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: proposal for his first hundred days of reopening schools. Yes, 311 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: this is what. This is what we've been saying along. 312 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: They're taking children hostage. They're they're saying, sorry, can educate 313 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: your kids? Too dangerous to go into school? I'm sorry? 314 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: Is it too dangerous for the grocery store workers down 315 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: the street from where I live to go do their 316 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: jobs because they've been doing it from day one of 317 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 1: the pandemic? Is it too dangerous for the people operating 318 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: the pharmacies that have to stay open so people can 319 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:42,239 Speaker 1: get medicines and essential supplies during them because they've been 320 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: opened the whole time. Oh oh, but teachers are special. 321 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: They shouldn't have to Is their job essential or not? 322 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: Because if you get the essential designation, you should also 323 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: have to perform the essential service. But now they're talking 324 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: about doing an illegal strike, even they're talking about going 325 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: to that level, and it's all because they say that 326 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: it's because of safety concerns. No, let's be honest here. 327 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: The teachers Union, which is the one of the biggest 328 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: of all the machines for getting Democrats entrenched in power 329 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: in major cities across the country. The teachers Union is 330 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: one of the most powerful. You could even argue with 331 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: the single most powerful. I mean, it's right up there 332 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: with the corporate media, but with the teachers Union, it's 333 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: it's real big dollar donations that are flowing into these 334 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: Democrat candidates. And they also are able to hold society 335 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: hostage in a sense here by I said holding kids, 336 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: but with that it comes to their parents. So it's 337 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: really all of society in these major cities because they say, sorry, 338 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: can't teach, can't do it. That means you can't go 339 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: to your job, you gotta stay home with the kid. 340 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: You don't have money for daycare, so you're stuck, can't 341 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: pay for babysitters all day, can't pay for private school, 342 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: so they have a lot of leverage here and they 343 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: use it. This is this is appalling what's going on 344 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: right now. I want to want to be very clear 345 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: about this, that that the teachers unions, I've been saying 346 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: this all along, they have shown people here with their 347 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: willingness to go along. They go along with the pretense 348 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: that school is somehow this dangerous place to them during COVID. Yeah, 349 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: they're they're showing that they really just care about themselves. 350 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: That's actually what matters to them. This is effectively a 351 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: strike that they're calling for an a legal strike even 352 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: though their collective bargaining agreement says they cannot strike. And 353 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 1: Biden wants Congress to give another one hundred and thirty 354 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: billion dollars to help schools, but somehow that's not going 355 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: to require schools to reopen. The problem here is self 356 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: serving unions. The problem here is that the people in 357 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: charge of making these decisions don't really care about kids. 358 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: And what they're really going to be talking about, what 359 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: they're really going to be discussing going forward, is how 360 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: they can extract maximum benefits out of this whole COVID pandemic. 361 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: So the country's suffering parents are in a terrible spot. 362 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: But Biden bends the need to the teachers union because 363 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: if you're a Democrats, it's like the abortion lobby. You 364 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: cannot be a Democrat and cross them. They will crush you. 365 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: And they do not. Forget absolutely true of teachers unions 366 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: as well. I mean, the fact that you have all 367 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: these people are saying that they need that they need 368 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: special air purifiers and all the stuff. Children are at 369 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: almost no risk. We've already established that that's a fact, 370 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: and children are at very very low risk of transmitting 371 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: to adults. For whatever reason, that doesn't maybe because the 372 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: children or their immune systems clear it so quickly that 373 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: there's just it's very unlikely they're going to give this 374 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: to an adult. And so what we're being told now 375 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: is that teachers are rejecting in Chicago. I'm sure this 376 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: is true in other cities. I know there's cities across 377 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: the country where they're still very little to know in 378 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: person learning going on. In New York, it's about for 379 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: primary schools, you know, for grammar schools in the public 380 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: school system, it's almost half of them are closed, and 381 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: high schools are remaining closed. I mean, there's a lot 382 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: of a lot of schooling going on. That's all remote 383 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: learning and remote learning as we all know as a joke. 384 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: Remote learning as we're seeing it for kids doesn't work, 385 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: doesn't work the same way. But teachers get to stay 386 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: home and they get to just do a video presentation. 387 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: They don't have to discipline kids, they don't have to commute, 388 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: they don't have to show up. It's a good gig. 389 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: They don't want to give it up. They don't want 390 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: to give it up. That's what's really happening. We're all 391 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: seeing this right, and to come up with these ridiculous 392 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: justifications for this. They need air purifiers, more cleaning protocols. 393 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: The evidence is pretty obvious at this point. Anybody who 394 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: sees it that, you know, liesoling a desk here or 395 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: there doesn't stop the spread of COVID in any meaningful way. Yeah, 396 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe there could be COVID on death, but 397 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: it's it's in the air, it's aerosol eyes. That's where 398 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: you're getting COVID. And they're gonna vaccinate teachers. They're already 399 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: getting vaccinated in some places in New York. They've been 400 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: at the front of the line for a teacher to 401 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: be vaccinated and to say they're not going to go 402 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: back into school is just laziness or cowardice or both. 403 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: It's just wrong. But it's a Democrat, a Democrats center 404 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: of power, and you know they don't care. They're gonna 405 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna be gentle. Joe Biden will be gentle with 406 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: these lazy bureaucrats and the teachers' unions because the Democrats 407 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: need them. And please don't send me emails or something. 408 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: Oh but I'm a teacher and I want to go 409 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: in a teaching Oh I know, I'm not talking about you. 410 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the actual unions, the union officials who 411 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: are representing you know, hundreds of thousands of teachers across 412 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: the country. They are being a bunch of lazy, selfish 413 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: union thugs, and they're showing us that it's they don't 414 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: care about the kids. You know, they're they're pushing. You 415 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: know why they're pushing. This is why one of the 416 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: reasons why I'm so angry about this. You know that 417 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: they're pushing for schools to open in Las Vegas because 418 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: of an increase in student suicide and suicidal ideation. All right, 419 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: So while teachers are all, oh, I don't want to do. 420 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: Even if I get the vaccine, I don't want to 421 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 1: have to go into the classroom. There are kids who 422 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: are either thinking about or actually taking their own lives. 423 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: And some of them are very young, which is usually 424 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: you don't get this until people are later in their 425 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: teenage years and there's more psychological issues that can manifest. 426 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: But you're talking about really young kids that are just 427 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: despondent because they don't get to see their friends, they 428 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: don't have any daily routine outside the home. They're not learning, 429 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: they don't have teachers to support them. You know, there 430 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: should be an urgency, an urgency for teachers to get 431 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: back in the classroom. If Fauci was not some little 432 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,959 Speaker 1: quizzling coward, he would go out and say, guys, every 433 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: school in America right now, every school in America should 434 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: be open, full stop, across the entire country. There is 435 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: no reasonable basis to shut down, you know, K through 436 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: eight schooling because of COVID fears. It's nonsense. But he 437 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: won't say that. You know why. He's a little Democrat 438 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: operative wearing a lab coat collecting four hundred thousand dollars 439 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: plus a year in taxpayer funded salary. That's who fauci is, 440 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: and you're seeing who Joe Biden is now too, just 441 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: another slimy, self interested Democrat who's gonna do whatever he 442 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: has to do to keep the power centers of the 443 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: DNC and the rest of the Democrat Party happy, which 444 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: means a lot of bad stuff happening to you and 445 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: me and the country. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 446 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: Join the conversation and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or 447 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: email Team Bucket iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it 448 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: on the show. Well, my question wasn't would be or 449 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: roughly whenever you think anyone what one would be able 450 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: to get it? Oh, I know, I think we'll be 451 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,719 Speaker 1: this spring. I think we'll be able to do that 452 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: this spring. But it's going to be a logistical challenge 453 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: that exceeds anything we've ever tried in this country. But 454 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 1: I think we can do that. I feel confident that 455 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: by summer we're going to be well on our way 456 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: to heading toward HERD immunity and increasing the access for 457 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: people who aren't on the first on the list, all 458 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: the way going down to children and how we deal 459 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: with that. But I feel good about where we're going, 460 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: and I think we can get it done children. Now, 461 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: we're gonna be vaccinating children against this. Does anyone in 462 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: the scientific community want to speak out and talk about 463 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: how this is that that there's very little reason for 464 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: children to get vaccinated unless there's a concern that they're 465 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: going to pass it on to a high at risk adult. 466 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: But think about this, If all the adults have been vaccinated, 467 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: why are children going to be vaccinated? If all adults 468 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: have had their chance, free and open to get the vaccine, 469 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: no cost to them, months and months to sign up 470 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: and do all this, we're gonna We're gonna make children 471 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: get this now before they go to school for a 472 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: disease that their immune system has a I mean, you 473 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: look at the numbers of children that have died from this. 474 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: It's it's like you can count them on a hand 475 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: or two. It's across the entire natures. Three hundred and 476 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: twenty million people in the country. We're gonna have vaccinated 477 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: all the kids. Are we gonna slow the reopen toil 478 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: all the children are vaccine. They did too. This is 479 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: what we're all waking up now to this reality. The 480 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:10,239 Speaker 1: reality of Joe Biden is a third tier intellectual and 481 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: a fourth tier politician who all of a sudden is 482 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: now the leader of the free world, not even based 483 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: on having some snappy slogans and ideas, just you know, 484 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: not Trump Trump, you know, Orange man bad Trump was 485 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: hitler anybody but him, And this is what we've got now, 486 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: anybody that includes Joe Biden. Apparently there's no great plan here. Well, 487 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: do you think the administration that's bringing in people like 488 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: Jen Saki is gonna show it's gonna blow everyone away 489 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: with how amazing they are at logistics and execution. You 490 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: think all of a sudden they've become really sharp and 491 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: savvy about how to get things done in government. I 492 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: mean they'll pursue ideological ends, but I mean things that 493 00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: are actually benefits to the American people overall. A better economy, 494 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: more jobs, more security, more sanity, less government in your life, 495 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: more freedom, more openness, reopening America. Do you think they're 496 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: gonna be good at this? Why? What makes anybody believe 497 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: that they would have any greater competency than what we 498 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: saw about the Obama administration, which was just all Obahama 499 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: is so amazing, Oh my gosh, she's so brilliant and 500 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: handsome and perfect and wonderful, and we'd say, well, hold 501 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: on a second. I mean, Obamacare is a mess. It's 502 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: thousands of pages. It's not good. Obama actually really divided 503 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: the country in a lot of ways. He turned on 504 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:39,479 Speaker 1: cops for obvious partisan pandering, and you know, his national 505 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: security and his international relations policies were appallingly inept and 506 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: really almost it was like it was juvenile. It was childish. 507 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: Worse than juvenile. The way that the way that the 508 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: Obama administration approached the rest of the world, in the 509 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: begging for forgiveness, the not understanding who are enemies and 510 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: allies really were. I mean, it was a mess, but 511 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: Obama was so wonderful that none of that was supposed 512 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: to matter. They're going to try that same thing with 513 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: you now with Joe Biden. He's such a good guy. 514 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: Oh you can't get mad at blue collar Joey's such 515 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: a good guy. No. Sorry, you know he ran for 516 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: this job how many times before? His whole life has 517 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: been about getting this job, and now we're seeing, Oh, 518 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: so this guy's in a nept fool. This guy's not 519 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: good at this, this guy's not smart, he doesn't have 520 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: some vision for the country, and vaccines is going to 521 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: be the first place where they're just going to lie 522 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: to you endlessly because you'll see this. They don't have 523 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: some much better plan. They haven't figured this out. No, 524 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: they're just they just made a lot of promises that 525 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: they're absolutely not going to be able to keep. You 526 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: have Ouster home. This guy Michael Osterholme, who's one of 527 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: the Biden you know, COVID advisor people, and here he 528 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: is saying, oh, you know what was done before, which 529 00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: was so bad played twelve when the Operation worms feed 530 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: activity took place. It was a magnificent for example of 531 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: science and research and manufacturing capacity all coming together to 532 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: bring us these new vaccines. But they last mile on 533 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: the last inch, we're not addressed at all. Basically the 534 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: plan was just dumped the vaccine in the States, good luck, 535 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: and we have to first of all know how to 536 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: get it out, just as we just talked about. But 537 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: that last inch is critical. How do you outreach to 538 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: the very people that don't have computers or that may 539 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: be frightened of the vaccine because it comes from Operation 540 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: warp speed And so right now, the feet on the 541 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: ground activities in our local areas that are so critical 542 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,479 Speaker 1: are reaching just these kinds of people, the people who 543 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: are at highest risk, who may not even have access 544 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: to getting to a clinic easily. How are you going 545 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: to get them vaccinated? That's what's happening right now. Are 546 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,719 Speaker 1: the plans on the ground are actually being developed just 547 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,239 Speaker 1: for that. I wish we had them before, but we 548 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: didn't have the support to do that. The states have 549 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: when they have intelligent leadership, been able to do this. 550 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: You know what the state are that can't get it done. 551 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: States like New York, States like California where the vaccine 552 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: is somehow a social justice issue. The vaccine is falling 553 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: victim to identity politics. This virus kills old people first 554 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: and foremost it should get to old people, But no, 555 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: there's all this who's an essential worker? Are there disproportionate 556 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: numbers of essential workers who are people of color? Therefore 557 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: do we have to get them the vaccine before other 558 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: essential workers to balance things out? Remember how that was 559 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: written about in the New York Times and what they said. 560 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: The states have been falling down on this one. And 561 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: I just want to scream. I'm here in New York 562 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: City and my father who's in his seventies, try to 563 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: get the vaccine, and they couldn't get it done, and 564 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: they're acting like the problem is, oh, well, there are 565 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: people who are scared of the vaccine. Try to get 566 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: a vaccine in New York right now, if you're a 567 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: senior city, if you're not even just a senior citizen, 568 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: if you're over well, yeah, I get a senior citizen 569 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: over sixty five. And it's a byzantine mess. But teachers, unions, 570 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, thirty year old fourth grade teachers, they're getting 571 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: the vaccine, no problem, because you know, the unions are powerful, 572 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: so they set that up for them. No problem. City 573 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: can't upset them. But everyday folks in their seventies and 574 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: eighties really difficult to get the vaccine here. And you 575 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 1: who are willing to wait in line, as my own 576 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: father did for four hours in the freezing cold to 577 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: get a vaccine, they couldn't get it done because they're morons. 578 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: Because these democrats are all about demagoguery and promises and 579 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: pretense they cannot execute. Their ideology is rooted in a 580 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: vision of the world that is not real, but it 581 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: makes them feel really good about themselves and makes the 582 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: people who vote for them also feel really good about themselves. 583 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: It's governance by virtue signaling it's not going to work out. Well, 584 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: you're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The 585 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast.

David, good to see you, always 591 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: great to be here. Thank you. Bus So, I've I've 592 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: been very annoyed and expressing it on radio after having 593 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: had a family member of mine here in New York 594 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: go through the process of waiting for hours and hours 595 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: in freezing temperatures in line. He's you know, he's my 596 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 1: dad's in his seventies after spending hours to get an 597 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: appointment on I mean, the whole thing is just a mess. 598 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 1: And we were hearing from the Biden administrations. They come 599 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 1: in they're telling us, oh, but the Trump people didn't 600 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: do a good enough job getting the states. No, the states, 601 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: like in cases like New York are the ones that 602 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: are messing all of this up. But it's even worse 603 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 1: than that. I mean, tell us about about what happens 604 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: if you have vaccine that's going to go bad and 605 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: you give it to somebody. Well, there's a story out 606 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: of Houston where this doctor was. This is back in 607 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: December twenty ninth. He had some of the Maderna I 608 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: think that's how he pronounced that company of vaccines. And 609 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: obviously they need to be refrigerated after a while and 610 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: they expire. So it's like he goes through the whole day, 611 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: gives out to everyone who comes. It's six thirty, there's 612 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: no one there. He offers to give it to the 613 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: people who work there, and they don't want it or 614 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: they've gotten it, you know, the cops and the first responders. 615 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: And then he calls up his county commissioner and says, 616 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 1: is there anyone online somewhere else who needs it? And 617 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: they say no, there isn't. So he opens up his 618 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: phone and he looks for some elderly people he knows, 619 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: and his chronically old wife, and he gives the remaining 620 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 1: doses to them. He writes it all down in the 621 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: log as he's supposed to or whatever the rules say, 622 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: and a few days later, you know, he explains this 623 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: to someone who he works with. That person snitches on him, right, 624 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: and he's fired and they charge him with about what 625 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: they charge him with theft by a public official something 626 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: along those lines, which is not it's a misdemeanor, but 627 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: does mess your you know, your license stuff like that. 628 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: It's you know, it's serious for him. So essentially, and 629 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,760 Speaker 1: this is happening with thousands of doses around the country, 630 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,360 Speaker 1: we are telling people to drop all common sense to 631 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: waste doses of important vaccine because of some kind of 632 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: weird state fetish of fairness, you know what I mean, 633 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: instead of just using common sense and getting as many 634 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: doses as we ken out there, Literally thousands and thousands 635 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 1: of doses have been wasted across the country, probably more 636 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: than we know because hospitals are kind of redicine to 637 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: share this information because they didn't want to look like 638 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: they're wasting uh, you know, vaccine doses. So that's just 639 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: one of the many sort of state impelled ridiculous uh 640 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: you know things that goes on. The CUOMO has a 641 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: million dollars there's a million dollars fine. I think he 642 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 1: signed this. There's a million dollars fine for for for 643 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,359 Speaker 1: he got he got rid of I mean they got 644 00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 1: rid of it, but initially there was this million dollars fine, yeah, yeah, 645 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: so yeah, it's it's ridiculous. I think the best state 646 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 1: that's done the best is West Virginia, which led Loud 647 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 1: CBS to hand it out to people. Right. I'm not 648 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: sure if that's still the case, but they were definitely 649 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: in the lead for a while. Yeah. I mean, this 650 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: is what I look around that I'm saying, why they've 651 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,879 Speaker 1: micro manage I spoke to a friend of mine who's 652 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: been he's been a very senior, senior infectious disease specialist 653 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: at one of the big hospitals in New York. He's 654 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: been doing this for thirty years. And I just said, 655 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: what's going on, doc, And he said, they're they're just 656 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: micro managing this thing into oblivion. Time is of the 657 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: essence and what everyone's getting right now, David, is a 658 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: lesson and a reminder that when it comes to efficiency 659 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 1: and speed, the government is your enemy if the government 660 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: is not good at doing things quickly and efficiently. And 661 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: you're seeing that on full display here with and this 662 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: is this the new Biden administration. I know it's only 663 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: in a week two. But I think everyone's starting to realize, oh, 664 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,720 Speaker 1: they don't have some brilliant plan. I mean, they didn't 665 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: even do the math to figure out that when they 666 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,439 Speaker 1: kept saying we're gonna have one hundred million doses after 667 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: the first hundred days, they were on pace for a 668 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: million doses a day before Biden came into office. That 669 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: was the average. It was about a million a day. 670 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: So they we're going to continue with the current pace, 671 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: and they want to pad on the back for this. 672 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 1: These are the people in charge, David, this is our 673 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: great new era of you know, intelligent, uh, efficacious government. 674 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 1: It's actually worse than that in a way, because the 675 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: day he said we're going to hit a million, the 676 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: day before there's a Thursday. I believe on Wednesday, we 677 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 1: had one point six million vaccines go, you know, doses administered. 678 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,760 Speaker 1: They said, he says plan is to slow slow down 679 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: the vaccine uh you know dos. So but it is 680 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: we're even worse than that because he said the other day, 681 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,399 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what day it was that we nothing 682 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: we can do about the trajectory of the vaccine. I 683 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: don't know if that's a direct quote. So I mean 684 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,439 Speaker 1: the trajectory of COVID for the next few months. There's 685 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 1: nothing we can do about it. His plan during the campaign, 686 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 1: the COVID Plan, the Biden COVID Plan. The first line 687 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: in it says mentions how the trajectory is terrible and 688 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: only he is the one who can fix it. He does. 689 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: He doesn't say we're going to fix it in a 690 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 1: few months. He said were immediately. He uses the word 691 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: immediately over and over again, going to hit the ground 692 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 1: running and change the trajectory of the virus, which is 693 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,439 Speaker 1: something he should never promise because he couldn't do, because 694 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 1: there's no one who's going to change the trajector in 695 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: this virus, because it's nothing to do in my opinion 696 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: at least. And maybe you disagree with the system we have, 697 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: or you could have places in Europe. It doesn't matter 698 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: if they're free marketplaces or socialistic places. It doesn't matter 699 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: if you have a dictator, it doesn't matter if you're 700 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 1: a president. Virus doesn't care about. Just to be very clear, 701 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 1: David agree, And I think now we're past the point 702 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,240 Speaker 1: where people can have can be people of good judgment 703 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 1: and insight on this issue who still believe that, Oh 704 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 1: Trump was the reason things were so bad in America. Really, 705 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: Amsterdam is in the most severe lockdown it's ever been 706 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: in right now. I mean, the Netherlands is getting crushed 707 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: by this. Belgium had probably the worst numbers of any 708 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: country in Europe, far worse in terms of hospitalizations and 709 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: debts on a per capita basis than America. Is that 710 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's fault? Right? I mean, I think people are 711 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: starting to see the reality of they created a whole 712 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,280 Speaker 1: false narrative around how much better they'd be on COVID 713 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: and it's just not true. Just to be Trump, that's 714 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: just that. But they personally blamed him over and over 715 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: for the deaths of Americans, as if you know, he 716 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: had done something because he wasn't you know, serious enough 717 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: about masks or this or that and what has what 718 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 1: has this great plan been from the Trump the Biden 719 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,359 Speaker 1: Biden administration. They claimed that they would have a plan, 720 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,879 Speaker 1: a great plan that would stop the trajectory, that would 721 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,399 Speaker 1: help people. And what's his plan to have the same 722 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,360 Speaker 1: amount of vaccine doses administered as Trump was already had, 723 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: or to you know what what was you know, his 724 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 1: his executive orders like to push governors to have mass 725 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: man these that already exist in most places, or to 726 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, there is no there is no play. His 727 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 1: plans a Trump plan, it's the same as a plan. 728 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 1: There is no plan. There's nothing new that they have it. 729 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: They can't even help. They can't even talk about anything 730 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: being new because the moment they do, people point out 731 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: that's already going on, which I think is also now 732 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: affecting a little bit of you know, Saint Fauci, whom 733 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 1: I really I mean, I find this guy to be 734 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 1: an odious little jerk. I mean, I think he's and 735 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 1: I have very specific reasons. The fact that he won't 736 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 1: come out against outdoor masks as some kind of a 737 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: necessary thing, the fact that he won't come out in 738 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: favor of opening schools. He won't point out that children 739 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 1: aren't basically no risk and should not have to be 740 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 1: vaccinated to go to school or for any reason. Fauci 741 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 1: is like a little Democrat operative. He has been all 742 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: along and now he's gone. I don't know if you 743 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 1: saw this, he's come out. I've been making I mean, 744 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: not even really jokes, but they're certainly somewhat cynical observations 745 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 1: that are humorous to some people about how in time, 746 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 1: and I was saying this last summer, they'll tell you 747 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: that you need two masks, and they'll tell you that 748 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,839 Speaker 1: you need n ninety five masks and that and that. Effectively, 749 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 1: it's just our fault for not doing that all along. 750 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,720 Speaker 1: Yesterday Fauci said, you really should, you really should consider 751 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 1: two masks. It's much better than one. That's what we've 752 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,719 Speaker 1: come to now, David. Now now that it's almost February 753 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: and we've got you know, four hundred thousand people dead 754 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,879 Speaker 1: or whatever it's you know, the science really says it's 755 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: a two mask situation. But I saw that. I thought 756 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: of you. Yeah, I'm like, listen, get the hell out 757 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 1: of here. I can hardly deal with this one mask. 758 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 1: I just do it as a sort of societal courtesy 759 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: to the people I live near, so they don't feel 760 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 1: like I'm killing them or something. But the bottom line 761 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 1: is I am pretty skeptical about the efficacy of a 762 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: mask in general, out you know, out of the world, 763 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 1: but definitely outside. And and you know, now they want 764 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: me to wear two masks. I mean, this is just insane. 765 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 1: And just like you said, they're going to say, listen, 766 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 1: fifty thousand people every year die of the flu. Sho 767 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 1: wear masks all the time. Now it's the humanizing. There's 768 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,400 Speaker 1: no guarantee of complete safety in a free society. And 769 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 1: I don't think the federal government has the right or 770 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: even any government to tell me to wear a mask 771 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 1: outside or in my own home. If the CBS wants 772 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 1: to ask me to wear a mask, fine, if it 773 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: wants me to wear two masks, I'm going to go 774 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 1: somewhere else. And but yeah, I mean it's constant mission 775 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 1: creep with this stuff. And he was I was not 776 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: a fouchy antagonist or you know, fan either way. But 777 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: now I am an antagonist because I'll tell you what 778 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 1: bothers me the most. He is admitted already now in 779 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 1: two occasions. I can't think of the second one. But 780 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 1: but that we that he speaks to us like children, 781 00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,120 Speaker 1: that he won't tell us what her immunity needs to 782 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 1: be because he doesn't want to scare us. We're an 783 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 1: adults in a free nation. Your job is to relay 784 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,560 Speaker 1: information to us, not to treat us like a parent. Right, 785 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, he thinks his job is to be like 786 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 1: America's parent. It's ridiculous. And he's been wrong about a 787 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: bunch of stuff. So what kind of parent is he? Right? Well, 788 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,439 Speaker 1: I guess he's been regular. I want to tell you something. 789 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,799 Speaker 1: I was talking to my TV producer Nick about this 790 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 1: earlier in the week, and you know, because I've been 791 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 1: saying all along, I mean, my theory on this has 792 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 1: been or my formulation has been the way we just 793 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 1: sort of wave aside Fauci in March saying the general 794 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 1: public should not wear masks. It just makes people feel better, 795 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 1: but it doesn't really help. We wave that aside when 796 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 1: it's it's treated now as though it would be like 797 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 1: saying the general public should not take antibiotics, you know, 798 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: if they have a sepsis infection or something, you know, 799 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 1: like like, it's treated as though this was this is 800 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,319 Speaker 1: a clear, uh you know, it's clear medically obvious thing 801 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 1: that we should wear masks now. But a year ago 802 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: he was telling us the other thing. I mean, imagine 803 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,359 Speaker 1: if he had said antibiotics don't work, right, and then 804 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 1: a year later he's like, oh, no, of course antibiotics work. 805 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 1: That's crazy. Well, I mean, is that really we're supposed 806 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 1: to believe? Because he said at the time that masks 807 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: should not be worn by the general public, and then 808 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 1: he claimed that he was lying to us. So he's 809 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 1: admitted that he's this is his defense. I'm just this 810 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 1: is what he says in interviews now that he didn't 811 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,799 Speaker 1: want there to be a shortage of masks, so he 812 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,400 Speaker 1: intentionally misled the public. But here's the point that my 813 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: producer point brought up to me. I think this is brilliant. 814 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,720 Speaker 1: If that was true, why didn't anyone, David, why didn't 815 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 1: the rest of the medical community. If Fauci was lying 816 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,719 Speaker 1: for our benefit, why didn't anyone say, well, that's not true, 817 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 1: we should be wearing masks. Why wasn't he called out 818 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 1: right when it happened. Either either he was wrong, and 819 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,799 Speaker 1: why I could costs lives using their own set of 820 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,919 Speaker 1: standards and their own science. Supposedly he cost a bunch 821 00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:02,879 Speaker 1: of lives by saying that because people were wearing masks, 822 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,879 Speaker 1: or he lied to the American people, So then he's 823 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 1: a liar, right, But more than that, even if there 824 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: wasn't initially there was somewhat of a mask shortage, but 825 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: you could make your own masks at home, right, people 826 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 1: made their own masks. I'd have met homemade masks. My 827 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 1: daughter made. It is not like people couldn't have gotten 828 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 1: their own masks. He you know, so you using you know, 829 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 1: either he's cost lots of lives, which Donald Trump was 830 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 1: always being like hit for being too having too rosy 831 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 1: an assessment of the future and that he had cost lives, 832 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,800 Speaker 1: or that he wasn't wearing a mask, or then Fauci 833 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 1: is under the same shooting, under the same standards, but 834 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 1: he's not treated you know, he's treated as the same 835 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,600 Speaker 1: as you know, saying the same who represents the science 836 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,799 Speaker 1: to us? But yeah, he lies to us. There's two 837 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 1: examples right there. If he lied about herd immunity numbers, 838 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:53,759 Speaker 1: like he said it's been like sixty five percent, but 839 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,840 Speaker 1: actually now it's ninety five and he lied about masks. 840 00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,720 Speaker 1: Drive it drives me up the wall. I don't understand 841 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 1: why peopre so let him do that, and no one 842 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,719 Speaker 1: that can be critical in the in the media of 843 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,759 Speaker 1: him at least for lying about the things that they 844 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,880 Speaker 1: supposedly care about, like masks. Yeah, and I also I 845 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:11,319 Speaker 1: keep point out to people, why is it I don't 846 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:12,880 Speaker 1: I'm not an MD, I don't have a I'm not 847 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,719 Speaker 1: some epidemiologist. Why am I able to predict. I mean, 848 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,280 Speaker 1: I said in December, just wait, you'll see N ninety 849 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,280 Speaker 1: five mask mandates by mid January. Sure enough, in Germany 850 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 1: they're n ninety five mask mandates going into effect. Now 851 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:29,239 Speaker 1: why because what they have is not working? Well? Gee, 852 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 1: I wonder why, you know, how can you see anyse 853 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,359 Speaker 1: stuff coming? Before we let you go, David, I have 854 00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 1: to ask you because I want I'm gonna be talking 855 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 1: more about this, uh, you know, going forward, this executive 856 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 1: order on transgender athletes. I mean, Tucker Carlson on his 857 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:48,480 Speaker 1: show last night had a pretty amazing statistic that there 858 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 1: are three hundred high school males in America right now 859 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: who have official listed times that are faster for the 860 00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:01,440 Speaker 1: four hundred meter than the fastest female else sprinter in 861 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,399 Speaker 1: the world. I believe in the fastest female sprinter who 862 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 1: has ever lived. But now we're going to let biological 863 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,919 Speaker 1: males compete against biological women. That's what democrats think is fair. Yeah, 864 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 1: I this is never a big topic with me, you 865 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,400 Speaker 1: know what I mean. But here's a thing. I do 866 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,120 Speaker 1: believe in science, and I do believe in what I know, 867 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 1: common sense, what I see, and I think that when 868 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:29,920 Speaker 1: you have folks who you know, have I want to say, 869 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,239 Speaker 1: you know, listen, when you have people who believe that 870 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,279 Speaker 1: that there are women even though they're biologically men, that's 871 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 1: fine with me. Go on with your life. But once 872 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,880 Speaker 1: you are now telling me that that boy has to 873 00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 1: be in my daughter's locker room in high school and 874 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,920 Speaker 1: is competing in undermining kids in my local high school 875 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,320 Speaker 1: and is making them uncomfortable in my local high school 876 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 1: for reasons that shouldn't you know, be, then that's a 877 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 1: big problem for me. And that's exactly what this is. 878 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: And with unilaterally by the president as if you were 879 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: a king, not allowing local communities to deal with this themselves. 880 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,480 Speaker 1: I think all those things are very troubling. I don't 881 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: want to belittle people who I think. I'm sorry, I think, 882 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:12,360 Speaker 1: have you know, some kind of innocuous mental problem, But 883 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:14,839 Speaker 1: it is a problem when you forced me to play 884 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,640 Speaker 1: along with that kind of yeah, and it just it 885 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,359 Speaker 1: just becomes devisive to go after this, I mean politically, David, 886 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 1: to go after this day one's right away. No discussion. 887 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,640 Speaker 1: He's done has been left wing stuff, right, I mean 888 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 1: cultural left wing stuff. Most of it has been He's 889 00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 1: going to govern like a far left winger Overton Windows 890 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 1: moved over because you have some insane people in Congress, 891 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,880 Speaker 1: like Acascio Quartez. But in the reality, in the real world, 892 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,800 Speaker 1: Biden is as far left to president as we probably 893 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,320 Speaker 1: ever have, certainly on cultural issues. There's nothing that's come close, 894 00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 1: so we shouldn't pretend. And he's doing it all. I 895 00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,879 Speaker 1: think he's had nineteen twenty executive orders already. I think 896 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 1: Trump had five, and he was like king, you know 897 00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,840 Speaker 1: he was. He was an addict, right, And these aren't 898 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,719 Speaker 1: just executive orders to like name a bridge. These are 899 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:09,359 Speaker 1: executive policy, change policies. He's doing policy by the pen, 900 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 1: and this is all we're seeing here. Everyone go check 901 00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,960 Speaker 1: out David Arsani's latest, especially on this vaccine story he's 902 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 1: writing at National Review dot com. David, always appreciate your time, man. 903 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:24,239 Speaker 1: Thank you. Buck. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 904 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,800 Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart 905 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,399 Speaker 1: Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Our team 906 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,720 Speaker 1: is working right now. We've been here for five days 907 00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 1: to evaluate the supply so that we can release the 908 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,840 Speaker 1: maximum amount while also ensuring that everyone can get the 909 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,840 Speaker 1: second dose on the fday recommended schedule. So the confusion 910 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,360 Speaker 1: around this issue, which we acknowledge there is some confusion, 911 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,359 Speaker 1: is speaks to a larger problem, which is what we're 912 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 1: inheriting from the prior administration, which is much worse than 913 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 1: we could have imagined. So we are assessing now what 914 00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: we have access to and ensuring that we have more 915 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,600 Speaker 1: of a rapid engagement with states so that they have 916 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:04,400 Speaker 1: more of a heads up on what's to expect in 917 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 1: the weeks ahead. It is blame Trump. That's gonna be 918 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 1: the game. You know. Notice how it was the Obama 919 00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 1: economy when Trump was doing really well, But it's the 920 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 1: Trump vaccine plan now that they realize that they don't 921 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,879 Speaker 1: have someone. Whatever they have to say is what they're 922 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,279 Speaker 1: gonna say, you know. So they'll take credit for it 923 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 1: into the next administration if it's good. But if it's 924 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,000 Speaker 1: not going as well, even when they're in charge, it's 925 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,839 Speaker 1: the previous person's faults, you know. That's that's the way 926 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,319 Speaker 1: this goes. They're just making it all up as they 927 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 1: go along. Make sure you got to Bucksexton dot com. 928 00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 1: I've got an editorial up there today about this impeachment situation. 929 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: What the political dynamics are why this is a disaster 930 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 1: if the GOP, if anyone of the GOP really goes 931 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,719 Speaker 1: along with it, and what I think this is going 932 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,760 Speaker 1: to be long term for Trump and all things MAGA. 933 00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:58,000 Speaker 1: So that's at bucksexton dot com. You're in the freedom hunt. 934 00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,279 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the buck Sexton Podcast. To get 935 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:06,520 Speaker 1: the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. I'm wait, wait, 936 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,800 Speaker 1: wait wait. I know he always asked me tough questions 937 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,160 Speaker 1: and he always has an edge to them, but I 938 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 1: like him anyway, So go ahead and ask as to 939 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:19,359 Speaker 1: ask the question. Thank you, President. So we just said it. 940 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,920 Speaker 1: You think within three weeks or so, we'll be at 941 00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,480 Speaker 1: the point where there are a million vaccines per day, 942 00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,399 Speaker 1: But it seems like now I think we'll get there 943 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,839 Speaker 1: before that. I said, I hope, I misspoke. I hope 944 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,160 Speaker 1: we'll be able to increase as we go around until 945 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,200 Speaker 1: we get to the million five a day. That's my hope. 946 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,480 Speaker 1: And then, like the follow up to that would be, 947 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,720 Speaker 1: now that you're a president and you're saying there's nothing 948 00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,800 Speaker 1: we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic 949 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:47,560 Speaker 1: in the next several months, what happened to two months 950 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,919 Speaker 1: ago when you were talking declaratively about I am going 951 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,680 Speaker 1: to shut down the virus. Well, I'm going to shut 952 00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 1: down the virus, but not I never said I'd do 953 00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,120 Speaker 1: it in two months. I said it took a long 954 00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,520 Speaker 1: time to get here, It's gonna take a long time 955 00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,440 Speaker 1: to beat it. And so we have millions of people 956 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:06,320 Speaker 1: out there who are who have the virus. What a fraud. 957 00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 1: Let's all be very clear about this. What a giant 958 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 1: bowl of bull courtesy of Joe Biden. Oh you know, 959 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna shut down the virus in a day. 960 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:24,279 Speaker 1: It was gonna take me. Hell, it's gonna be many months, many, 961 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,400 Speaker 1: many months. You know, by next summer, we might be 962 00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:31,359 Speaker 1: They were all on a trajectory already, everything that we're 963 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 1: seeing showing a trajectory that the virus was going to 964 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,719 Speaker 1: be in a much better place by the summer, Vaccination 965 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,279 Speaker 1: rates would be pretty high by the summer, and that 966 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,880 Speaker 1: we would be past the worst of the pandemic. Okay, 967 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 1: that's before Joe Biden did a darn thing. But now 968 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,040 Speaker 1: what we're seeing is that the guy was just full 969 00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,440 Speaker 1: of it. He was overpromising, and now he's about to 970 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 1: under deliver. And so what he's doing, is he's changing it. Yeah, 971 00:54:56,719 --> 00:55:00,279 Speaker 1: I's gonna shut down the virus and you know in 972 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,360 Speaker 1: a in six months, and yeah, that's what I was 973 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 1: gonna do. Well, that's what everybody would do in your 974 00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,880 Speaker 1: I mean, well, what exactly is he bringing to the 975 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 1: table here that's any different from what any administration would 976 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,239 Speaker 1: be able to do given what they were handed by 977 00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:19,440 Speaker 1: the Trump administration before them. Oh, you know the virus. 978 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:24,560 Speaker 1: You know here, I am, you know, unbelievable. Remember, I 979 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,320 Speaker 1: won't shut down the economy, I'll shut down the virus. 980 00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:28,960 Speaker 1: That was the phrase. That was what he was saying. 981 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,640 Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is classic Joe Biden kind 982 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:37,080 Speaker 1: of loudmouth, just garbage. But that unfortunately people if they 983 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:41,279 Speaker 1: hear and enough you know, low, low to medium information 984 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,880 Speaker 1: voters are gonna go, okay, well that sounds good. And 985 00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,880 Speaker 1: you know that's that's what all it took. It's astonishing 986 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:52,640 Speaker 1: how quickly that whole Oh Joe Biden's gonna make COVID. 987 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,920 Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna have this radically different COVID policy 988 00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 1: and it's all we're all gonna be so much better off. 989 00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:02,280 Speaker 1: Astonishing quickly that all fell away, just a big pile 990 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 1: allies and and creditor Peter Doocey here, who gets a 991 00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 1: really hard time from other journalists because you know, he's 992 00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,840 Speaker 1: he's now in a position where he's gonna be the 993 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 1: only person on many days in the White House actually 994 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 1: engaged in the practice of journalism, asking questions that need 995 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: to be asked that the people in power don't necessarily 996 00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,319 Speaker 1: want to answer, or that require further clarity from the 997 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,719 Speaker 1: people in power, whereas everybody else is going to be 998 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,239 Speaker 1: what's it like for Joe Biden to just be so amazing? 999 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,440 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, what's going on with how Joe Biden's just 1000 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:41,880 Speaker 1: so fantastic? That's journalism now for the next four years, 1001 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 1: it's it's embarrassing, But that's who these people are, That's 1002 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,479 Speaker 1: what they're all about. That's what their audience is gonna 1003 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,359 Speaker 1: want to see. Although they're gonna have to come up 1004 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:52,680 Speaker 1: with something more interesting because while you know, they acted 1005 00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,799 Speaker 1: like Orange Man Bad was the end of the country 1006 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:57,720 Speaker 1: and it was going to result in all these terrible 1007 00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,239 Speaker 1: stuff at what we're actually seeing is that they kind 1008 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,920 Speaker 1: of need Orange Man to drive ratings. They're going to 1009 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,760 Speaker 1: need something here because no one's going to be particularly 1010 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:11,360 Speaker 1: excited about a Biden administration, that's for sure. So something 1011 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,920 Speaker 1: else that we should be talking about and thinking about, 1012 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:15,840 Speaker 1: I think, is what the media is going to be 1013 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,360 Speaker 1: pivoting to, how they're going to be how they're going 1014 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:23,320 Speaker 1: to be presenting this going forward. You know, a perfect 1015 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 1: example I should note is that we were hearing about 1016 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,600 Speaker 1: Trump as a dictator all the time, and yet Biden 1017 00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,560 Speaker 1: comes into office and blows all presidencies before him out 1018 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 1: of the water with the unilateral stuff he's willing to 1019 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 1: do on day one, right off the bat. And and 1020 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:47,480 Speaker 1: you know, you have Senator Blackburne who's saying, why is 1021 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 1: that okay? Play nine for me. This isn't about politics, 1022 00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 1: It's about the policies this new administration has decided to 1023 00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:07,280 Speaker 1: unilaterally say yes to without consulting Congress, without including the 1024 00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:11,800 Speaker 1: people in the discussion. And just so we're all aware, 1025 00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 1: President Biden said yes to more unilateral policy changes on 1026 00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 1: day one than any president in our nation's history, more 1027 00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:30,840 Speaker 1: than any president in our nation's history. But of course 1028 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,520 Speaker 1: that's all okay, that's all okay according to the media, 1029 00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 1: according to the Democrats, because they say so, I mean, 1030 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,320 Speaker 1: they're not even really in a position to make real 1031 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:41,960 Speaker 1: arguments about any of this. They're not even going to 1032 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,000 Speaker 1: tell you why things are different now other than Joe 1033 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:48,640 Speaker 1: Biden good Trump bad. They can try to throw some 1034 00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,680 Speaker 1: other words around that, they can dress that up a 1035 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,000 Speaker 1: little bit, but that's at the end of the day, 1036 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,480 Speaker 1: that's the reality of what we're going to be seeing, 1037 00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,560 Speaker 1: what we're going to be up against. And that then 1038 00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 1: brings me to this filibuster situation, because the filibuster is 1039 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:09,200 Speaker 1: if you're somebody who believes in the institutions of government, right, 1040 00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:13,280 Speaker 1: if you believe in in the Senate as a place 1041 00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,480 Speaker 1: to cool the passions of the House. Whatever that old 1042 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,880 Speaker 1: phrase is about it, but it's something like that. If 1043 00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,840 Speaker 1: you think that the Senate should have in place some 1044 00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:27,520 Speaker 1: traditions that protect the minority from just majoritarian rule within 1045 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,240 Speaker 1: the Senate for a long time, then you should be 1046 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,960 Speaker 1: in favor of the continuation of the filibuster. And just 1047 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,400 Speaker 1: for a quick history lesson here, Remember who used the 1048 00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,440 Speaker 1: nuclear option the first time around. It was in fact Democrats. 1049 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,360 Speaker 1: They did it over judicial nominees, and they did it 1050 00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,960 Speaker 1: while Republicans this was Harry Reid's gambit under Obama. They 1051 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,080 Speaker 1: did it while Republicans were saying, you're not going to 1052 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:54,320 Speaker 1: like where this goes when power changes hands. And sure enough, 1053 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,960 Speaker 1: as you have Amy Coney, Barrett and Brett Cavanaugh and 1054 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,880 Speaker 1: lots of f judges all across the judiciary, Democrats have 1055 01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 1: had to learn a very tough lesson on that one. 1056 01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,280 Speaker 1: But they haven't even really learned a lesson because now 1057 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,960 Speaker 1: they're deciding, well, we're back in power, so let's just 1058 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,439 Speaker 1: do the same thing we did before and hope that 1059 01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,439 Speaker 1: we never have to deal with the consequences of that one. 1060 01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:26,000 Speaker 1: And that's I think a troubling situation that we're going 1061 01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:29,960 Speaker 1: to see now that Democrats precedent and history will be 1062 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,960 Speaker 1: forgotten or abused in the public discourse so the Democrats 1063 01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:40,080 Speaker 1: can get what do they want. Mazie Herono, Mazie Herono, 1064 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,000 Speaker 1: who I've said to you, and I don't say this 1065 01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,480 Speaker 1: to be mean. I think there's just a she may 1066 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:48,960 Speaker 1: be the dumbest person in the United States Congress. Yeah, yeah, exactly. 1067 01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:53,080 Speaker 1: And if you've ever heard her talking about anything, you'd say, 1068 01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:57,600 Speaker 1: I cannot believe that this person is a United States Senator, 1069 01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 1: But she is. And I always say there's about about Hawaii. 1070 01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:03,800 Speaker 1: I love so much about Hawaii. I don't know why 1071 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 1: it has to have such bad politics. You know, there's 1072 01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:08,160 Speaker 1: a big military community there. Can't we can't we get 1073 01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:12,480 Speaker 1: some slightly less looney candidate. I mean, Tulsie Gabber's a 1074 01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:16,440 Speaker 1: congressman from Ohio, from Hawaiian, not Ohio. And you know 1075 01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,960 Speaker 1: she has she has her her pluses, so to be fair, 1076 01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 1: but Maizie Harrono is already setting out the narrative. You 1077 01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:26,959 Speaker 1: could say, Oh, but Buck, this is so dumb. Who's 1078 01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,439 Speaker 1: gonna know that they're gonna say stuff like this That 1079 01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:34,920 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell using the filibuster to block Democrats from things 1080 01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:40,120 Speaker 1: is obstructionists play twenty. If Mitch McConnell uses a sixty 1081 01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,200 Speaker 1: volve requirement to be the kind of obstructionists that he's 1082 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 1: been for the last so many years, then I think 1083 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 1: we are going to need to revisit because we are 1084 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:50,360 Speaker 1: in the middle of a pandemic, We're in the middle 1085 01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,760 Speaker 1: of an economic crisis. We need to get things done. 1086 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:55,800 Speaker 1: And if Mitch McConnell's purpose is to make sure that 1087 01:01:56,160 --> 01:02:00,880 Speaker 1: President Biden's agenda and priorities will go aware, then we 1088 01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:04,560 Speaker 1: are going to need to revisit this the filibuster issue. 1089 01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 1: He can't use sixty votes to block every good thing 1090 01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,680 Speaker 1: that they Democrats want to bring forward to or vote 1091 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:15,919 Speaker 1: in the in the Senate. Steamrollerm get ready for it. 1092 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,840 Speaker 1: And when Democrats bust out the steamroller, remember that it's 1093 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:23,720 Speaker 1: for it's for Republicans own good. This isn't an issue. 1094 01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 1: This isn't an issue where we get to there's there's 1095 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,640 Speaker 1: not two sides to this one. It's it's for Republicans 1096 01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:32,160 Speaker 1: own good that this has to happen. Um, I don't 1097 01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,480 Speaker 1: know about that one. I'm gonna well, I think I'm 1098 01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:36,480 Speaker 1: gonna throw a flag on that one. I think it's 1099 01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,800 Speaker 1: pretty clear that the Democrats are just power hungry and 1100 01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:44,360 Speaker 1: or rather rather power mad now. And so whatever they 1101 01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,439 Speaker 1: whatever they want to do, they'll find a way to 1102 01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:51,640 Speaker 1: try to try to justify this um and and everything 1103 01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,600 Speaker 1: will also be justified behind this backdrop of well, look 1104 01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:58,040 Speaker 1: what Trump did Orange Man so bad that anything we 1105 01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,240 Speaker 1: do now is not as bad. And if you want 1106 01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:05,840 Speaker 1: a low level, low IQ analysis of our political scene 1107 01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,880 Speaker 1: in the country right now from an elected official, you 1108 01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:14,880 Speaker 1: really can't do much better than Swallwell, the spy who 1109 01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:18,280 Speaker 1: shagged me and this is what he has to say. 1110 01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:23,040 Speaker 1: Play eleven. It's constitutional. The Senate is steeped in tradition 1111 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,680 Speaker 1: and custom, and I think it would be persuasive to 1112 01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,080 Speaker 1: them that they have actually done this before, they've held 1113 01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,680 Speaker 1: a trial for somebody who was no longer in office. 1114 01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,840 Speaker 1: And I think it's because the Constitution says that the 1115 01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:36,160 Speaker 1: Secretary of War, that's right, Secretary of War Bellmap. We'll 1116 01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:38,800 Speaker 1: all hear that name more than we probably want. But 1117 01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,440 Speaker 1: it's because the founders put as one of the penalties 1118 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:46,919 Speaker 1: disqualification from office. And because Donald Trump, we know will 1119 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,480 Speaker 1: do this again, has such a disdain for democracy and 1120 01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,320 Speaker 1: a disdain for public safety. We can't afford as a 1121 01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,000 Speaker 1: country to give him a chance to even come close 1122 01:03:56,280 --> 01:04:05,520 Speaker 1: to doing this again. Justifying the the ridiculous impeachment proceeding 1123 01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:08,120 Speaker 1: that's going on now, Yes, there was a Secretary Defense, 1124 01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:10,720 Speaker 1: to be clear, if we look at our history, there 1125 01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,160 Speaker 1: was a Secretary Defense who was impeached after after he 1126 01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 1: was out of office. But this is a president, this 1127 01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:20,320 Speaker 1: is not a secretary of Defense. And there are there 1128 01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:24,320 Speaker 1: are additional considerations for the country that one should take 1129 01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:29,240 Speaker 1: into account here. This impeachment is well, let's let's talk 1130 01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,640 Speaker 1: more about it. And this is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 1131 01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:37,040 Speaker 1: Join the conversation and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or 1132 01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,680 Speaker 1: email Team bucket iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it 1133 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:44,440 Speaker 1: on the show. Newly empowered Democrats have spent a lot 1134 01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:50,960 Speaker 1: of time dulling America that this is a time for unity. 1135 01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:55,160 Speaker 1: This appears strange even a casual observer of politics, because 1136 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,080 Speaker 1: they're also insisting the best way to bring the country 1137 01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,520 Speaker 1: together is through a second impeachment of Donald Trump, even 1138 01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:02,600 Speaker 1: though he's no longer the president of the United States. 1139 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:07,160 Speaker 1: That's right. If you thought the era of Trump domination 1140 01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:10,800 Speaker 1: of the headlines was over, think again. The sole article 1141 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,720 Speaker 1: of impeachment against the former president has been transmitted from 1142 01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:17,720 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives. Starting in February, there's going to 1143 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,640 Speaker 1: be a Senate trial of Donald John Trump, former President 1144 01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:27,400 Speaker 1: of the United States, on one charge of incitement to insurrection. 1145 01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:31,680 Speaker 1: Remember what Chuck Schumer said last week, We all want 1146 01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:35,040 Speaker 1: to put this awful chapter behind us. Healing and unity 1147 01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,560 Speaker 1: will only come if there's truth and accountability, and that's 1148 01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,080 Speaker 1: what this trial will provide. I mean, because yeah, right, 1149 01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,320 Speaker 1: what could make the seventy five million Americans who voted 1150 01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:48,840 Speaker 1: for Trump feel better than a vindictive post presidency punishment phase. 1151 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:54,520 Speaker 1: Unity through division appears to be the order of the day. 1152 01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:57,960 Speaker 1: There's no benefit from this if Schumer the Democrats really 1153 01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,440 Speaker 1: wanted to heal the country. But it does serve some 1154 01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:05,680 Speaker 1: obvious goals. Let's look at some of those. I mean immediately, 1155 01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:09,600 Speaker 1: it will placate or energize a large portion of the 1156 01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:13,720 Speaker 1: Democrat base that continues to suffer from Trump derangement syndrome. 1157 01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:18,000 Speaker 1: Orange Man is still bad, as the saying goes, even 1158 01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,040 Speaker 1: when he's no longer the leader of the free world. 1159 01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:25,040 Speaker 1: They want him punished and humiliated along with all his voters. 1160 01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,560 Speaker 1: The corporate media at places like CNN and The New 1161 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,440 Speaker 1: York Times are certainly cheering on impeachment two point zero. 1162 01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:36,160 Speaker 1: They took Trump's Twitter and press conference jabs very personally 1163 01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 1: over the years, and they will neither forgive nor forget. 1164 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,360 Speaker 1: Best interests of the country be damned. They also got 1165 01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,320 Speaker 1: a vested interest in weaning their audiences off the steady 1166 01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,479 Speaker 1: diet of Trump the Fascist over time, because it would 1167 01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,440 Speaker 1: be bad for business if suddenly the virtue signaling masses 1168 01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:57,080 Speaker 1: of the urban coasts no longer had their favorite villain 1169 01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:01,400 Speaker 1: to hate. Politically, the second trial of Trump is a 1170 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:05,959 Speaker 1: win win for Democrats, as you can obviously see, let's 1171 01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:09,640 Speaker 1: go through this. At a minimum, it will expose some 1172 01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:14,280 Speaker 1: of the establishment GOP versus MAGA fractures that the Capitol 1173 01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:18,800 Speaker 1: Hill riot on January sixth blasted apart. The Democrats need 1174 01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:23,160 Speaker 1: seventeen GOP senators to go along, which seems an unlikely number, 1175 01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,400 Speaker 1: but Senator Mitt Romney already seems to be a vote 1176 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 1: for conviction. There could be several others like Rob Portman 1177 01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,480 Speaker 1: of Ohio, who's just announced he's not running for reelection, 1178 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:36,200 Speaker 1: or Susan Collins of Maine. Even if the final Senate 1179 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:40,480 Speaker 1: trial vote fails to meet the two thirds majority, it 1180 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:47,160 Speaker 1: will probably have some bipartisan coalition for conviction. The brand 1181 01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:49,520 Speaker 1: damage to Trump from this could well be worth it 1182 01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:54,320 Speaker 1: for the Democrats first president in history to be convicted 1183 01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:57,240 Speaker 1: by the Senate. That's the headline that would go down. 1184 01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:01,240 Speaker 1: That's what everybody would be hearing. And add to that 1185 01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,360 Speaker 1: the fact that you'd have the disgust of the Trump 1186 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:08,000 Speaker 1: base with the GOP apparatus, and the fact that it 1187 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,880 Speaker 1: was unwilling to defend a former president from this kind 1188 01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:16,320 Speaker 1: of vindictiveness, and that could imperil any chance of taking 1189 01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:19,960 Speaker 1: back control of Congress in twenty twenty two. And there 1190 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 1: could be major impacts of this second impeachment effort against 1191 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:27,680 Speaker 1: Trump over the long term. There's the long shot possibility, 1192 01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:31,800 Speaker 1: unlikely as it may seem, the Democrats. The Democrats do 1193 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:36,280 Speaker 1: manage to squeeze out seventeen GOP centered votes, as Trump 1194 01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,160 Speaker 1: is no longer an off as he can't be removed 1195 01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:41,120 Speaker 1: from it. He can, however, be barred from holding office 1196 01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:46,120 Speaker 1: in the future. If Democrats achieve this, they'll have used 1197 01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:50,720 Speaker 1: a constitutionally prescribed process to not only repudiate Trump, but 1198 01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:54,080 Speaker 1: to kick him to the political sidelines once and for all. 1199 01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:58,040 Speaker 1: One thing we do know for sure, Trump doesn't back 1200 01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 1: down from a fight, especially when the odds are against him. 1201 01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,559 Speaker 1: He's already set out the office of the former president 1202 01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,920 Speaker 1: from Florida. Rumors are swirling that his children will run 1203 01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:11,040 Speaker 1: for a range of offices in the years ahead. This 1204 01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:13,360 Speaker 1: Senate trial is supposed to be the coup de grass 1205 01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:18,240 Speaker 1: for MAGA, but it could end up mobilizing Trump World 1206 01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:22,920 Speaker 1: in ways that a quiet post presidency in Mara Lago 1207 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:27,439 Speaker 1: never could. And that, my friends, is how I see 1208 01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:31,559 Speaker 1: this playing out. Democrats could well get some very real 1209 01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:34,680 Speaker 1: short term political benefit out of all of this. But 1210 01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,320 Speaker 1: what will it mean for the future, not just of 1211 01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:42,800 Speaker 1: the GOP, but of politics in America more generally? Will 1212 01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 1: there be a third party that will form as a 1213 01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,439 Speaker 1: result of this? Will Trump go off a former Patriot 1214 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:50,400 Speaker 1: party if there is a conviction of him. Will the 1215 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:55,040 Speaker 1: backlash against the desire that the Democrats have to continue 1216 01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:59,480 Speaker 1: to punish Trump even when he's left office be so forceful, 1217 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,720 Speaker 1: be so powerful that the Democrats will wish they had 1218 01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:06,599 Speaker 1: never gone down this pathway. We will have to see 1219 01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:11,800 Speaker 1: in time. But the laws of unintended consequences certainly apply here. 1220 01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:18,840 Speaker 1: This is the Fuck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, 1221 01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:24,160 Speaker 1: and Twitter. What's gonna happen with this impeachment situation? We've 1222 01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:27,240 Speaker 1: got our friend ned Ryan with us now. He is 1223 01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:31,000 Speaker 1: the founder of American Majority and he knows the political 1224 01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 1: scene inside and out. Ned. Great to have you back. Yeah, No, 1225 01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:36,799 Speaker 1: good to be back with you, Buck, But yeah, interesting 1226 01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:39,200 Speaker 1: times we live on living that you want to have 1227 01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,679 Speaker 1: an impeachment trial for a president that is no longer 1228 01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:45,160 Speaker 1: in office. But Buck, I'm of the opinion let's have 1229 01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:47,479 Speaker 1: the trial. I think we should have the trial because 1230 01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:50,200 Speaker 1: I think when the facts come out to the American people, 1231 01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:54,000 Speaker 1: they're going to realize the evidence doesn't back up in 1232 01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:58,240 Speaker 1: any way the second impeachment trial. Of course, neither impeachment 1233 01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:01,559 Speaker 1: trial had anything Peachman had anything to do with facts. 1234 01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,080 Speaker 1: But I think this would be I want this to happen. 1235 01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,640 Speaker 1: I want the American people to actually see the timelines 1236 01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:10,559 Speaker 1: and understand what took place, and that the Democrats, again, 1237 01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,759 Speaker 1: they fabricate these things out of whole cost. So facts 1238 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,760 Speaker 1: to them are you know, sometimes convenient, sometimes inconvenient. But 1239 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:18,720 Speaker 1: let's have the trial. What do you Let's just so 1240 01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:21,160 Speaker 1: tell everybody this and end. What do you think would 1241 01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:23,360 Speaker 1: come out at Trump? Because right now you are hearing 1242 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,880 Speaker 1: and we'll get into this. Some Republicans were even saying, oh, yeah, no, 1243 01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:29,360 Speaker 1: we should do this, and we'll get to the false 1244 01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:32,360 Speaker 1: unity narrative in a second here. But but you know, yeah, 1245 01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,519 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I always have a laugh about it. 1246 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:36,880 Speaker 1: So absurd, But tell me this. You know, what do 1247 01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 1: you think if if the evidence was presented as you say, 1248 01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:41,720 Speaker 1: and if we go forward and you seem kind of 1249 01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:44,080 Speaker 1: gung ho about this whole thing. What will come out? 1250 01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,479 Speaker 1: What will the American people see? Oh, I think they'll 1251 01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:49,000 Speaker 1: see that the timelines don't add up at all, you know, 1252 01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,920 Speaker 1: the whole the main arguments, again, a false argument of 1253 01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:56,200 Speaker 1: the Democrats, was that somehow President Trump incited. First of all, 1254 01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:59,360 Speaker 1: the language is being used by the Democrats and media's 1255 01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:04,720 Speaker 1: wildly your sponsible right insurrection seditious. Basically, Trump and his 1256 01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:07,400 Speaker 1: supporters are on the level of domestic terrorism, all based 1257 01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:11,160 Speaker 1: off a false premise that somehow Trump incided what took 1258 01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,880 Speaker 1: place on January sixth, and you actually look at the timeline, 1259 01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:17,439 Speaker 1: none of it matches up. Right. President Trump is speaking, 1260 01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:20,240 Speaker 1: people are already breaching the Capitol before he's even done, 1261 01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:23,000 Speaker 1: long before he's done. So this is some of the 1262 01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:24,639 Speaker 1: stuff I want to come out because the whole premise 1263 01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,479 Speaker 1: of somehow that Donald Trump and a supporters are domestic 1264 01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:29,680 Speaker 1: terrors based off incitement, has nothing to do with the 1265 01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:31,760 Speaker 1: actual truth of the matter. And that's where I want 1266 01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,120 Speaker 1: to come out. And I think that's what will come 1267 01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,160 Speaker 1: out if they're actually serious about doing a trial. As 1268 01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:38,000 Speaker 1: to the fact of what some Republicans are going to 1269 01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,400 Speaker 1: do in the Senate, well, I hope that anybody that 1270 01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,960 Speaker 1: feels like self identifying for a primary challenge in twenty 1271 01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,519 Speaker 1: twenty two and twenty twenty four will feel free to 1272 01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:48,280 Speaker 1: actually vote for again. This is the weird part buck 1273 01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:51,360 Speaker 1: removal for a president that is no longer in office. 1274 01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:54,479 Speaker 1: But knock yourselves out people. What do you think they're 1275 01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:59,240 Speaker 1: trying to achieve with this? On the Republican side, I mean, 1276 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,799 Speaker 1: we'll get the Democrats at the second. On the Republican 1277 01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,960 Speaker 1: side of that, you got mid Romney, you got you know, 1278 01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:06,880 Speaker 1: kin Zingers in the House. I mean, but there are 1279 01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,640 Speaker 1: a few Republicans. Portman seems to be teeing up a 1280 01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:14,840 Speaker 1: possible conviction vote. What is motivating those goop folks you know, 1281 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:20,600 Speaker 1: who are clearly preparing to go along with the Democrats 1282 01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:26,639 Speaker 1: in this farcical post presidency removal? And I think, yeah, 1283 01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,800 Speaker 1: I think the whole the whole argument on well, the 1284 01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:31,679 Speaker 1: whole premise for them is to say we are going 1285 01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,320 Speaker 1: to I think it was miss McConnell exercise ourselves of 1286 01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:38,559 Speaker 1: this whole Trump America First movement and and get it 1287 01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:41,479 Speaker 1: outside of the Republican Party, which is such a monumental mistake. 1288 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:42,880 Speaker 1: I don't even know where to begin. I mean, the 1289 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:48,719 Speaker 1: stupidity is unbelievable, but really is that. I always thought 1290 01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,519 Speaker 1: the struggle buck even if Trump had won, over the 1291 01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,240 Speaker 1: next four years, was going to be inside the Republican 1292 01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:58,240 Speaker 1: Party between the globalist corporates establishment versus America First. Right, 1293 01:13:58,280 --> 01:13:59,800 Speaker 1: what is the Republican Party going to be in the 1294 01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:02,840 Speaker 1: few And they have deeply resented, I mean being in 1295 01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,599 Speaker 1: DC watching some of the stuff behind the scenes, they 1296 01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:09,120 Speaker 1: have always deeply resented the great outsider coming in and 1297 01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:11,960 Speaker 1: actually talking about America First and being in defiance of 1298 01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:15,479 Speaker 1: kind of some of the Republican establishment orthodoxy. You know, 1299 01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:17,560 Speaker 1: we're not going to get involved in foreign wars. No, 1300 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:19,719 Speaker 1: we're not. We're going to try and benefit the American 1301 01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:23,240 Speaker 1: worker and the American taxpayer on trade issues. They have 1302 01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:26,040 Speaker 1: been waiting for years to take their shot at this, 1303 01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,040 Speaker 1: and they want to. They think that somehow there won't 1304 01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:31,200 Speaker 1: be consequences for driving out the base, which, oh, by 1305 01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,320 Speaker 1: the way, I would remind people there's a reason Trump 1306 01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:36,240 Speaker 1: had ninety five approval rating inside the Republican Party. He's 1307 01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:39,200 Speaker 1: a very popular president inside the party. These people are 1308 01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,559 Speaker 1: total fools for thinking somehow they can go down this 1309 01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:44,559 Speaker 1: path and punish Trump and the other part of a 1310 01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:47,920 Speaker 1: two book. They think that somehow, if they convict him 1311 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:51,320 Speaker 1: again whatever that means constitutionally, that somehow they're going to 1312 01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:53,639 Speaker 1: dissuade him from even thinking about running again in twenty 1313 01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:56,680 Speaker 1: twenty four. Shocker, it's not going to dissuade him if 1314 01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:00,240 Speaker 1: he actually decides to run again. Well, explain how that 1315 01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:05,760 Speaker 1: plays out ned in your analysis. Well, again, they feel 1316 01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,120 Speaker 1: free to convict him. I have no idea what this actually. 1317 01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:09,880 Speaker 1: The first of all, I don't think they're going to 1318 01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:13,360 Speaker 1: get seventeen Republican votes between you, me and the Listener's book. 1319 01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:16,200 Speaker 1: I don't think that seventeen Republicans are going to go 1320 01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:18,479 Speaker 1: out of their way and say I'm going to have 1321 01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:20,839 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna basically sign up for a primary 1322 01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:22,680 Speaker 1: challenge next time I'm on the ballot. Do I think 1323 01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:24,600 Speaker 1: he'll give five, six, seven? Of course, we all know 1324 01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:30,160 Speaker 1: their names too, right, Romney, Murkowski, Collins, maybe Portman, maybe 1325 01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:32,120 Speaker 1: a few others. I don't think you're gonna get to seventeen. 1326 01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:33,600 Speaker 1: So I think the whole idea of convicting him in 1327 01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:37,080 Speaker 1: a Senate trial is probably not going to happen. But 1328 01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:39,759 Speaker 1: that all to say, I just I think this really 1329 01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,920 Speaker 1: is this is punishment. How dare you have challenged us? 1330 01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:45,920 Speaker 1: How dare you have come in and turned everything on 1331 01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:48,080 Speaker 1: its head, and we're going to try and dissuade you 1332 01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:49,840 Speaker 1: from ever running it. I mean, it's a fool darrance. 1333 01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,200 Speaker 1: They're not going to dissuade Trump from running again if 1334 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:53,680 Speaker 1: he decides that's what he wants to do. And I 1335 01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:55,679 Speaker 1: think really the telling part will be what he decides 1336 01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,439 Speaker 1: to do in twenty twenty two and has involved in 1337 01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:03,040 Speaker 1: himself in primaries, fundraising, you know, funding opponents, some of 1338 01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:05,640 Speaker 1: these guys, doing rallies. And if he does that and 1339 01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:08,679 Speaker 1: is very successful, he's primbing himself for a twenty twenty 1340 01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,479 Speaker 1: four run. So you think the president at this stage, 1341 01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:13,840 Speaker 1: assuming they aren't able to block him by getting those 1342 01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:17,680 Speaker 1: seventeen Republican votes, you believe President Trumps he's going to 1343 01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:21,000 Speaker 1: be in it to win it again. I think based 1344 01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:24,120 Speaker 1: off some of the chatter I'm hearing, I think there's 1345 01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:26,479 Speaker 1: a better than fifty fifty chance that he decided he's 1346 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:27,680 Speaker 1: going to do it again. But he got to do 1347 01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:29,800 Speaker 1: the right things. Book, I gotta tell you. I mean, 1348 01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,719 Speaker 1: you know, I've had this conversation about personnel. If Trump's 1349 01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,320 Speaker 1: going to do it again, he's got to have a 1350 01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:37,400 Speaker 1: totally different approach on personnel. He's got to go and 1351 01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:40,240 Speaker 1: do a couple different things. But yeah, ninety five percent 1352 01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:42,840 Speaker 1: approval rating inside the Republican Party. Are you kidding me? 1353 01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,519 Speaker 1: Of course? But tell us, I mean, let's let's get 1354 01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,880 Speaker 1: it out there. What should be different on the personnel side. Well, 1355 01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:50,880 Speaker 1: first of all, I mean, I have to tell you 1356 01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:54,040 Speaker 1: that the PPO was a disaster offsite. Presidential personnel inside 1357 01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:55,880 Speaker 1: of White House was a disaster until the last year, 1358 01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:58,880 Speaker 1: until he brought in Johnny mcintee, who really started to 1359 01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:01,160 Speaker 1: turn around put people into various positions in the various 1360 01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,800 Speaker 1: departments that are actually on the same page as Donald Trump. 1361 01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:05,799 Speaker 1: So the first three years were kind of a disaster. 1362 01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:08,080 Speaker 1: But also in the party. I mean, this is one 1363 01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:09,320 Speaker 1: of the things too that I think he could have 1364 01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:11,719 Speaker 1: really changed the R and C after the twenty eighteen 1365 01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:13,639 Speaker 1: mid terms and said I'm going to put an America 1366 01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:15,400 Speaker 1: first person in charge of the R and C. I'm 1367 01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:17,120 Speaker 1: going to make the party a creation of my own creation. 1368 01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,439 Speaker 1: So that was another mistake, and I have to tell 1369 01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 1: you this too. I mean, there's no bones about it. 1370 01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:24,439 Speaker 1: That Jared Kushner kind of had Dayton during the election 1371 01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:26,760 Speaker 1: last year because we're like, we've got to get Trump reelected. 1372 01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:31,000 Speaker 1: He cannot have Jared Kushner and Oblonka, who are not 1373 01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:33,479 Speaker 1: the most conservative people. And I'm saying that very politely. 1374 01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,639 Speaker 1: Isn't a bit of an understatement advising him on domestic 1375 01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:40,120 Speaker 1: policy issues. Kudos for Jared for actually doing really great 1376 01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:42,439 Speaker 1: things in the Middle East peace process, but on the 1377 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:46,200 Speaker 1: domestic front, on personal front, advising he's got to move 1378 01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:49,120 Speaker 1: past that. Trump has to move past having Jared having 1379 01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,760 Speaker 1: so many portfolios and so much influence. If there's going 1380 01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:55,880 Speaker 1: to be any future run for office and potentially another 1381 01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,200 Speaker 1: occupation of the White House, do you think that you 1382 01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,040 Speaker 1: might have the turn of some of the of some 1383 01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:05,280 Speaker 1: of the America America First folks that Trump had in 1384 01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:07,760 Speaker 1: the early days and then left, if you were to 1385 01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,680 Speaker 1: come back, I mean, who who's the who's really the 1386 01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:13,880 Speaker 1: Trump dream team on the advisory side, who do we want? 1387 01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:18,439 Speaker 1: Who would you want to have? Telling a future candidate Trump, 1388 01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,200 Speaker 1: pretty amazing to think about right now what he should 1389 01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,080 Speaker 1: because you know, there it seemed like there was nobody 1390 01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:27,200 Speaker 1: post election this time around to keep him on the rails. 1391 01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:29,280 Speaker 1: It felt like there was nobody who could tell the president, 1392 01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:34,240 Speaker 1: hold on, let's direct your Trumpian impulses in constructive ways 1393 01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:37,080 Speaker 1: and let's not be self defeating here. There could have 1394 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,639 Speaker 1: been some of us. I mean, there's Steve Cortez, who 1395 01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:41,639 Speaker 1: I hope some of your listeners are familiar with stevens. 1396 01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:43,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we have him on this show regularly. Sure, 1397 01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:47,080 Speaker 1: go ahead. Obviously, great communicator, great strategist. Myself. There are 1398 01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:51,360 Speaker 1: others who actually are firmly committed to America first that 1399 01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:54,480 Speaker 1: should be brought into actually on a more regular basis, 1400 01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:55,720 Speaker 1: not that we don't talk to him, but on a 1401 01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,640 Speaker 1: more regular basis, sir, this is what you should focus on. 1402 01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:01,200 Speaker 1: Here's some good personal decisions. Avoid disavoid that. So there 1403 01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,519 Speaker 1: are people out here, right, I've been in DC twenty 1404 01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:07,000 Speaker 1: plus years now. I'm an outsider with an insider's perspective 1405 01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:08,599 Speaker 1: and knowing where a lot of the bodies are buried, 1406 01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,360 Speaker 1: by the way, like how this whole thing works. So 1407 01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:13,439 Speaker 1: there are people out there that want to be of 1408 01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:16,880 Speaker 1: help and want to be part of an advisory moving forward. 1409 01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,439 Speaker 1: But you know, obviously some of these things comes down 1410 01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:22,599 Speaker 1: to him. What does he actually want to do moving 1411 01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:24,639 Speaker 1: forward and does he want to make those changes? And 1412 01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:27,000 Speaker 1: we'll have to see. Speaking of Ned Ryan, he is 1413 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:30,840 Speaker 1: a founder of American Majority and Ned speaking about getting 1414 01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:33,240 Speaker 1: to a majority and going into these mid terms. Look, 1415 01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:35,919 Speaker 1: I know we've got a lot a lot of runway 1416 01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:37,600 Speaker 1: here where we still are going to figure out what 1417 01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:40,720 Speaker 1: the Biden administration, you know, where we got to look 1418 01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:43,240 Speaker 1: at their record, what they do. They're already showing us 1419 01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:44,680 Speaker 1: the kindness that they're going to try to do. I 1420 01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:47,160 Speaker 1: mean they haven't waited for sure, but you know, two 1421 01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:50,040 Speaker 1: years is an eternity in politics. But do we have 1422 01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:54,160 Speaker 1: does there need to be a full accounting within the 1423 01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:57,759 Speaker 1: GOP of what went wrong the last time around before 1424 01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:00,640 Speaker 1: we can do better in twenty twenty two? Or is 1425 01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:06,320 Speaker 1: the GOP infrastructure pretty solid as it stands right now 1426 01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:08,800 Speaker 1: as long as we pick good candidates. But what do 1427 01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,080 Speaker 1: you you know, how are we positioning ourselves so that 1428 01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:13,559 Speaker 1: we don't have Democrats in control of the House, the Senate, 1429 01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,519 Speaker 1: and the presidency in two years. Well, you know, to 1430 01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,439 Speaker 1: be fair to the RNC and to some of the 1431 01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:21,320 Speaker 1: party apparatus, they did an excellent job on voter registration, 1432 01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:24,439 Speaker 1: get out to vote. Some of that party machinery was 1433 01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:27,200 Speaker 1: done really well. Where they fell down, where they completely 1434 01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:30,200 Speaker 1: utterly failed is on the litigation front. They were warned 1435 01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:33,400 Speaker 1: after the twenty eighteen elections, Mark Elis and the Democrats 1436 01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:35,040 Speaker 1: are on the move. Here's what they're going to try 1437 01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:38,200 Speaker 1: and do between now and twenty twenty. They did nothing, 1438 01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:40,840 Speaker 1: And I think what has to I mean that the priority, 1439 01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:42,599 Speaker 1: and I think even for Trump, and he's already talking 1440 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,679 Speaker 1: about some of this electoral integrity, you gotta go back. 1441 01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:48,120 Speaker 1: I just wrote a piece today that American Greatness book 1442 01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:50,719 Speaker 1: about some of what Zuckerberg Center for Tech and Civic 1443 01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:53,040 Speaker 1: Life did. People need to be aware of what happened, 1444 01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:56,200 Speaker 1: what actually happened, not crazy conspiracy theories, but what actually 1445 01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:58,840 Speaker 1: happen on the ground, and realize we need to spend 1446 01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,240 Speaker 1: the next eighteen months making sure that some of this 1447 01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,320 Speaker 1: stuff never happens again, whether it's universal mail in ballots, 1448 01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:07,200 Speaker 1: whether it's Zuckerberg Center for Tech and Civic Life. And 1449 01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:09,720 Speaker 1: so there's some people, myself included, who are already having 1450 01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:12,960 Speaker 1: conversations with various state legislators. You've got to tighten up 1451 01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,000 Speaker 1: observer statutes, you've got to change policy. There should be 1452 01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:19,639 Speaker 1: offensive litigation. You've got to change the playing field before 1453 01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:22,280 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two elections. And then there's other parts 1454 01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:24,559 Speaker 1: of the machinery that are actually in pretty good shape. 1455 01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:26,439 Speaker 1: If we can figure out how to level that playing 1456 01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:28,600 Speaker 1: field again, I think twenty twenty two could be a 1457 01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:31,000 Speaker 1: really good midterm for Republicans if we do a good 1458 01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:34,839 Speaker 1: job too on identifying good, solid conservative candidates and quite frankly, 1459 01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:37,719 Speaker 1: some really good primary challengers for all the House members 1460 01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:40,080 Speaker 1: that voted for impeachment. Tell me this, it's actually bullis 1461 01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:42,880 Speaker 1: on it net. Tell me this. You mentioned the Tech 1462 01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:46,840 Speaker 1: and Civic you know, the Mark Zuckerberg Project. A lot 1463 01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:49,120 Speaker 1: of folks probably have heard nothing about this, and I 1464 01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:52,719 Speaker 1: know you're you know, tell everybody assume that people listening 1465 01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:55,040 Speaker 1: I have not heard anything about this, this organization, what 1466 01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:57,439 Speaker 1: it did. Please bring everybody up to speaks. They need 1467 01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:59,400 Speaker 1: to know about this. Yeah, they need to really, I mean, 1468 01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:02,760 Speaker 1: first acourage people go read my piece at Amgreatness dot 1469 01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:05,840 Speaker 1: com and you'll see more details. But it was a 1470 01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,960 Speaker 1: C three buck. It was literally Zuckerberg and his wife 1471 01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:11,240 Speaker 1: dropped three hundred and fifty million into the Center for 1472 01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:15,200 Speaker 1: Tech and Civic Life, where ninety nine point five percent 1473 01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:18,200 Speaker 1: of their money went into blue counties inside of battleground states, 1474 01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:21,519 Speaker 1: blue counties and blue cities to really work on faith 1475 01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:28,320 Speaker 1: election projects, including paying county and local election officials paying 1476 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:31,840 Speaker 1: for some of those supposedly secure ballot drop boxes. This 1477 01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:34,960 Speaker 1: is all nonprofit money, and I told people on this piece, 1478 01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:37,639 Speaker 1: this is again something that has to be explored about 1479 01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 1: the legality, because if I did this with American Majority, 1480 01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:41,960 Speaker 1: we're a nonprofit, We're a C three. If I had 1481 01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:44,000 Speaker 1: done some of that and using all of that money 1482 01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:46,280 Speaker 1: literally tens of millions of dollars in these counties and 1483 01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:50,680 Speaker 1: cities to basically in a back way, backdoorway, influenced the 1484 01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:53,920 Speaker 1: outcome of a partisan political race, I'd be in jail. 1485 01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:55,400 Speaker 1: I would If not in jail, I would have already 1486 01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:58,080 Speaker 1: had serious conversations with the IRS, the dj and PRID, 1487 01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:00,360 Speaker 1: the FBI, and so people need to be aware of 1488 01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:02,760 Speaker 1: what took place and how they were spending money. I 1489 01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:05,840 Speaker 1: mean literally, in some of these blue cities in Wisconsin, 1490 01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:09,439 Speaker 1: it was about forty seven dollars per Democratic vote being 1491 01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:13,599 Speaker 1: spent compared to four to seven dollars per Republican vote. 1492 01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:15,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there were a lot of things that were 1493 01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:18,400 Speaker 1: being done that don't even I think past the smell 1494 01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:21,840 Speaker 1: test and if we had a real IRS actually interested 1495 01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:25,280 Speaker 1: in enforcing its statutes. I have no idea how the 1496 01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:27,800 Speaker 1: Center for Tech and Civic Life what they did was legal, 1497 01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:30,040 Speaker 1: but I would encourage people go to Ambreytons dot com 1498 01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:32,479 Speaker 1: read my piece there's more details, and also read the 1499 01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:36,519 Speaker 1: AMASTAD projects report on It's about forty pages. I linked 1500 01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:39,040 Speaker 1: to it in my piece. People need to understand this 1501 01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,360 Speaker 1: because there were things that were that took place that 1502 01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:46,480 Speaker 1: were highly unusual, and if we allowed to continue, Republicans 1503 01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:48,679 Speaker 1: gonna have a really hard time winning a national election 1504 01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:52,120 Speaker 1: and a really hard time winning anything in a battlegraph state. 1505 01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:57,800 Speaker 1: Ned the future of the party right now is what 1506 01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:01,320 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party? Should we be thinking? What should 1507 01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:05,880 Speaker 1: our mission feel like and sound like? America? First? I 1508 01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:09,400 Speaker 1: mean this is that sounds like a really simple answer book. 1509 01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,920 Speaker 1: But the amazing thing is when Donald Trump stood up 1510 01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:16,400 Speaker 1: and said, I have a shocking idea of folks, I 1511 01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:19,800 Speaker 1: think the American system of government should actually work to 1512 01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:23,240 Speaker 1: promote in advance the interests of the American people, specifically 1513 01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:27,160 Speaker 1: the American worker and the American taxpayer. What a shocking concept. 1514 01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:29,280 Speaker 1: And a government's supposed to be up by and for 1515 01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:31,160 Speaker 1: the people. I mean, this is what this is the 1516 01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:33,880 Speaker 1: future of the Republican Party. What Donald Trump did is 1517 01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:36,520 Speaker 1: show us, hey, you can put together a winning coalition 1518 01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:40,760 Speaker 1: based on not Republican orthodoxy, but Americanism. Right. We're for 1519 01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:43,280 Speaker 1: the American people, We're for the American worker, We're for 1520 01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:47,040 Speaker 1: the American taxpayer. We want to see trade deals, immigration 1521 01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:50,799 Speaker 1: deals that benefit and advance and promote the American people's interests. 1522 01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:54,960 Speaker 1: That is the future of the Republican Party. But I'm 1523 01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:58,320 Speaker 1: not naive. I know that the corporatists and the globalists 1524 01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:01,519 Speaker 1: and people that enjoyed the Rick system that benefit from 1525 01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:04,120 Speaker 1: it obviously want the Republican Party to snap back to 1526 01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:06,800 Speaker 1: what it was before Trump. But he has shown us 1527 01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:10,320 Speaker 1: what a very successful future looks like if we'll embrace it, 1528 01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:12,519 Speaker 1: and I hope that we do. Ned, Ryan, everybody found 1529 01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,280 Speaker 1: of American majority. Ned, thanks so much, a man. Good 1530 01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:16,760 Speaker 1: that you're in this fight makes us all feel a 1531 01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:20,320 Speaker 1: little better about our chances. I appreciate it. Thanks, fuck 1532 01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:25,320 Speaker 1: thank you. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 1533 01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:27,920 Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart 1534 01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:30,879 Speaker 1: Radio app. Or wherever you get your pod that President 1535 01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:33,599 Speaker 1: Biden and Democrats want to have a big tent party 1536 01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:36,000 Speaker 1: and include some of these people. Great, And if we're 1537 01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,599 Speaker 1: all just deplorable and need to be deprogrammed, as Katie 1538 01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:41,639 Speaker 1: Kurik said, then honestly they can go to hell because 1539 01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:43,720 Speaker 1: I don't need to be deprogrammed. I just have a 1540 01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:47,519 Speaker 1: different perspective on how the government open. Yes, I like 1541 01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:51,280 Speaker 1: it from Megan McCain here on the View. It's amazing 1542 01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:54,120 Speaker 1: how she says things that I think a normal rational 1543 01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,360 Speaker 1: person would find somewhat obvious. And the rest of the 1544 01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:58,719 Speaker 1: ladies in the view are all, oh my gosh, good heavens, 1545 01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:01,400 Speaker 1: what has she done? They all freak out about It's 1546 01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:04,599 Speaker 1: pretty funny. It's amazing to watch it. But yeah, they 1547 01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:07,120 Speaker 1: talk about unity, they talk about bringing us all together, 1548 01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:09,160 Speaker 1: and then they also say that we need to be deprogrammed, 1549 01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:11,559 Speaker 1: or that we need to be brainwashed or re educated 1550 01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:15,360 Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. That's gonna be, That's gonna 1551 01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:18,479 Speaker 1: be something that we remember as they continue to prop 1552 01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:22,519 Speaker 1: up this bumbling buffoon Joe Biden going forward. Don't ever 1553 01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:25,320 Speaker 1: forget that this is the best they could come up with. 1554 01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:28,400 Speaker 1: This is we had three hundred and thirty million people 1555 01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:32,000 Speaker 1: in America, and Joe Biden is who is the single 1556 01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,639 Speaker 1: most powerful person in the United States government right now. 1557 01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:39,639 Speaker 1: This guy's almost eighty years old. He is clearly slow, 1558 01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:42,200 Speaker 1: has clearly slowed down a lot. And when he was 1559 01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:46,120 Speaker 1: much younger and much more with it cognitively and energetically, 1560 01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:51,479 Speaker 1: Democrats strongly repudiated the notion that he would be a 1561 01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:53,960 Speaker 1: good president in their own primaries. I mean, they shot 1562 01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:59,880 Speaker 1: down Joe Biden's hopes with prejudice, and yet here he 1563 01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:02,519 Speaker 1: is now because he got sort of picked out of 1564 01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:11,639 Speaker 1: obscurity relative obscurity by Barack Obama. Now he's the guy. Now, 1565 01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:14,840 Speaker 1: he's the person that we're all supposed to believe has 1566 01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:19,040 Speaker 1: a vision for the future of the country, and vision 1567 01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:21,559 Speaker 1: for America's gonna make everything better. Speaking of visions for 1568 01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:24,400 Speaker 1: the country, you know who the last person is that 1569 01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:27,360 Speaker 1: anybody wants to hear from about what the GOP should 1570 01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:29,559 Speaker 1: turn into. Now, I mean, there's a list you could 1571 01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:31,320 Speaker 1: come up with here. There's a lot of different people 1572 01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:35,160 Speaker 1: you could throw out there as I really don't care 1573 01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:37,880 Speaker 1: what so and so thinks, But Jeff Flake, I think 1574 01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:40,519 Speaker 1: might be at the very top of the list, Play sixteen. 1575 01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:45,639 Speaker 1: There is no future with trumps um. It just there's 1576 01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:49,600 Speaker 1: no coherent governing philosophy. It's it's more of an attitude 1577 01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:54,400 Speaker 1: than than a philosophy. And in just look, since President 1578 01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:58,559 Speaker 1: Trump was elected, we lost the House, we've lost the Senate, 1579 01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:01,680 Speaker 1: we lost the White House, and in the midterms we 1580 01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:06,320 Speaker 1: lost more than four hundred legislative seats nationwide. I don't 1581 01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:08,680 Speaker 1: know how much more winning we can stand as a 1582 01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:12,040 Speaker 1: Republican party. So we've got to go a different director. Yeah, 1583 01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:14,320 Speaker 1: let's go with the Jeff Flakes of the world. That's 1584 01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:18,160 Speaker 1: a great idea because if you really enjoy having no principles, 1585 01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:22,320 Speaker 1: no backbone, and losing all the time, Jeff Flake is 1586 01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:26,240 Speaker 1: your guy. He knows how to get it done. Cowardice 1587 01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:30,960 Speaker 1: is cool, Jeff Flake says, kind of. You're in the 1588 01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:34,720 Speaker 1: freedom hunt.

It is a snowing outside here in New 1600 01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:25,040 Speaker 1: York City, which makes me miss the beautiful sunshine and 1601 01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:26,880 Speaker 1: warmth the Florida even more. You know what I'm saying, 1602 01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:29,559 Speaker 1: Producer Mark, at least you got back before it snowed. 1603 01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:33,040 Speaker 1: At least I got back before it's That's a good point. 1604 01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:36,320 Speaker 1: I one thing that I will never be good at. 1605 01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:42,360 Speaker 1: I will never be somebody who handles airport delays well 1606 01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:46,639 Speaker 1: something about it. Yeah, No, I'm not good. I am 1607 01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:49,320 Speaker 1: very and I try very hard. I do not get 1608 01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:54,400 Speaker 1: impatient with the airport people, but I do hate the airlines, 1609 01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,440 Speaker 1: and I try not to start, you know, tweeting profanity 1610 01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:00,800 Speaker 1: at their official accounts or anything out of just year frustration, 1611 01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:02,800 Speaker 1: because I know people do that and like I think 1612 01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:05,559 Speaker 1: as American Airlines or whatever doesn't really care, you know, 1613 01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:07,800 Speaker 1: even if they respond to your tweet. They don't care. 1614 01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:11,040 Speaker 1: They're multibillion dollar corporations. You can wind about it all day. 1615 01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:14,640 Speaker 1: That's amazing because because the airline, it's a little bit 1616 01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:16,960 Speaker 1: like dealing with government. I think in the Soviet Union. 1617 01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:19,519 Speaker 1: I've said this before. You have to do what they say, 1618 01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:22,680 Speaker 1: even when it's stupid. They can make you uncomfortable, they 1619 01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:25,600 Speaker 1: can ruin your day, and you're paying them for the 1620 01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:29,120 Speaker 1: privilege of all that. And oh, by the way, there's 1621 01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:32,040 Speaker 1: like no recourse and nothing you can do, and they 1622 01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:35,120 Speaker 1: don't care if you're miserable. So that like, that's like 1623 01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,400 Speaker 1: dealing with the airlines. It's like being in the Soviet Union, 1624 01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:40,559 Speaker 1: I think circa nineteen seventy. You know, it's like this 1625 01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:42,760 Speaker 1: is this is the the moldy bread you get is 1626 01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:46,240 Speaker 1: what you get. The crappy house with no heat, you know, 1627 01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:49,720 Speaker 1: the crappy apartment with no heat in Moscow winter is 1628 01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:51,880 Speaker 1: what you deal with. And if you don't like it, tough, 1629 01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:54,160 Speaker 1: you know. That's what I think. Whenever they come along 1630 01:30:54,200 --> 01:30:59,559 Speaker 1: and say, oh, you know, you've gotta you know, they 1631 01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:01,280 Speaker 1: have like this, this whole thing, I have to verbally 1632 01:31:01,320 --> 01:31:02,519 Speaker 1: say I had to deal with this because I was 1633 01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:05,160 Speaker 1: sitting in the exit row. And you can't just nod 1634 01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:07,800 Speaker 1: your head. You have to say yes to will you 1635 01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:10,600 Speaker 1: assist in an emergency? You know who comes up with 1636 01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:14,360 Speaker 1: these rules? Producer Mark, I would believe the FAA. Oh, 1637 01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:16,320 Speaker 1: that's you're correct, that is the answer to the question. 1638 01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:18,479 Speaker 1: But I meant that like more, you know, what a 1639 01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:22,720 Speaker 1: pile of what a pile of nonsense. I don't know. 1640 01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:24,559 Speaker 1: It'd be fun if I I should get a little 1641 01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:26,080 Speaker 1: bleep button so I can say what I want to 1642 01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:28,400 Speaker 1: say and we could just bleep it out in real time. 1643 01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:31,960 Speaker 1: You know that sometimes the salty language wants to come 1644 01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:33,840 Speaker 1: out of the buckster's mouth. But I know we can't 1645 01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:39,360 Speaker 1: do that because of the FCC. Yeah, not the FAA, 1646 01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:42,360 Speaker 1: the FCC. A lot of f's messing with us, alot 1647 01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:46,000 Speaker 1: a lot of f's, All these f's flying around. Um. 1648 01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:48,920 Speaker 1: You know. Actually I got into a discussion with my brother, 1649 01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:53,320 Speaker 1: is like an expert in aerospace because of his work 1650 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:57,120 Speaker 1: in the finance world, and we talked and I started 1651 01:31:57,120 --> 01:32:00,360 Speaker 1: ask him questions about about airline disasters, and I didn't 1652 01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:05,400 Speaker 1: realize there's a whole sort of subculture on YouTube and 1653 01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:10,000 Speaker 1: of all these different documentaries and everything of airline disasters, 1654 01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:14,439 Speaker 1: and they're terrifying but engrossing, you know, when you find 1655 01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:17,800 Speaker 1: out how it actually goes. Planes are incredibly safe these days. 1656 01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:21,000 Speaker 1: I mean there's basically year after year now you'll have 1657 01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:25,720 Speaker 1: no plane disasters, even with however, many tens of thousands 1658 01:32:25,720 --> 01:32:28,400 Speaker 1: of flights that are going on every every single day 1659 01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:31,880 Speaker 1: or month or whatever it is. Airlines are incredibly safe. 1660 01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:33,599 Speaker 1: But when you read about some of the old, back 1661 01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:36,000 Speaker 1: in the day airlines, you know, it's a little more 1662 01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:37,639 Speaker 1: of a little more of a roll of the dice. 1663 01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:40,480 Speaker 1: You know, stuff happened like the seventies and the sixties. 1664 01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:43,080 Speaker 1: Stuff could happen. There's a TV show about this, so 1665 01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:47,599 Speaker 1: maybe Discovery or one of those type of channels. Airline 1666 01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:51,120 Speaker 1: dis yep, yep, yep. I've seen some of it. The 1667 01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:54,760 Speaker 1: thing about airline disasters that I always find so kind 1668 01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:59,599 Speaker 1: of a life lesson is that it is occasionally it's 1669 01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:02,160 Speaker 1: like the thing that happened to Sully, where it's just 1670 01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:04,920 Speaker 1: really bad luck. Right, You've got a double bird strike 1671 01:33:04,960 --> 01:33:06,840 Speaker 1: in the engines and you're just screwed, and you know, 1672 01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:09,320 Speaker 1: and obviously that was like a miracle and everybody was okay, 1673 01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:14,320 Speaker 1: thank god. But in other airline disasters. It's a light 1674 01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:17,439 Speaker 1: goes out in the dashboard and then they can't put 1675 01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:20,760 Speaker 1: down the wheel on the plane, or they don't know 1676 01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:23,920 Speaker 1: if the wheel for landing can go down, and then 1677 01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:25,760 Speaker 1: they don't know how to turn on the light to 1678 01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:28,840 Speaker 1: look manually to see if the wheel is down, and 1679 01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:32,320 Speaker 1: then they let the autopilot shift off by accident because 1680 01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:34,120 Speaker 1: they're trying to find the light to see if the 1681 01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:36,360 Speaker 1: wheel is down, because they can't know because the light 1682 01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:38,840 Speaker 1: and the dash went out, and then no one's paying 1683 01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:41,080 Speaker 1: attention while the autopilot's off, and then all of a 1684 01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:44,040 Speaker 1: sudden they crashed in the everygoods that actually happened in Florida, 1685 01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:47,479 Speaker 1: and half the people on board that flight died. But 1686 01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:53,080 Speaker 1: it's it's often a cascade of little errors. Mark, you know, yeah, 1687 01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:55,240 Speaker 1: this just sounds terrifying. It makes me want to hit 1688 01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:57,960 Speaker 1: not go flying. Okay, you know, we'll get off this, 1689 01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,280 Speaker 1: but I mean, it's it's fascinated fast sing stuff all right, 1690 01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,240 Speaker 1: road call. Remember Facebook dot com, slash buck Sex and 1691 01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:06,479 Speaker 1: Team Bucket, iHeartMedia dot com and all the rest of it. 1692 01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:10,400 Speaker 1: Let's get to it. Josh, my main man, Josh, here 1693 01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:13,400 Speaker 1: we go, Hey buck Oss listener here for those who 1694 01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:17,720 Speaker 1: don't know, OSS means Original Saturday Squad, obviously also in 1695 01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:20,679 Speaker 1: homage to the Office of Strategic Services from World War Two. 1696 01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:24,160 Speaker 1: But the OSS are people who have been listening to 1697 01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:27,639 Speaker 1: me since I started doing a digital only radio show. 1698 01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:30,840 Speaker 1: It's basically a live radio stream on a website on 1699 01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:34,080 Speaker 1: Saturdays that we have since grown into a show that 1700 01:34:34,120 --> 01:34:38,680 Speaker 1: has over two hundred stations now and is obviously five 1701 01:34:38,760 --> 01:34:41,000 Speaker 1: days a week in national syndication, and you know, so 1702 01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:46,240 Speaker 1: on and so forth. So yay, good things. I'm only 1703 01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:49,040 Speaker 1: emailing you because I got off all social media platforms. 1704 01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:52,040 Speaker 1: I hear you, Josh, what they're doing a conservative voices. 1705 01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:54,519 Speaker 1: I can no longer support them anyway. I see that 1706 01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:56,840 Speaker 1: Biden has already signed some executive orders relating to the 1707 01:34:56,920 --> 01:35:01,280 Speaker 1: Keystone pipeline. It's costing the American people any jobs. There 1708 01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:05,240 Speaker 1: are many more sectors to be targeted soon. Now anyone 1709 01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:07,679 Speaker 1: that voted for Biden and is losing their job gets 1710 01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:10,120 Speaker 1: to see what they voted for. I don't mean to boast, 1711 01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:12,000 Speaker 1: but that's what they've been trying. That's what I've been 1712 01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:14,920 Speaker 1: trying to tell people. What other industries you see being 1713 01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:18,559 Speaker 1: affected by the Biden administration. Thanks Buck Shields high well 1714 01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:22,760 Speaker 1: clearly energy right. We know that the fossil fuel industry 1715 01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:28,479 Speaker 1: is an ideologically hated by the left right, even though 1716 01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:32,520 Speaker 1: they all rely on fossil fuels, even though the incredible 1717 01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:36,320 Speaker 1: world we live in today of abundance and instantaneous communication 1718 01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:40,200 Speaker 1: and comfort and safety and all it is, And mark 1719 01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:43,080 Speaker 1: my words here, this is true only possible because of 1720 01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:46,479 Speaker 1: fossil fuels. It's not that fossil fuels have made our 1721 01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:50,960 Speaker 1: modern economy better or of help. It is only possible 1722 01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:53,839 Speaker 1: because of fossil fuels, all right. If we were relying 1723 01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:58,400 Speaker 1: on windmills and solar, we would note we would be nowhere, 1724 01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:01,280 Speaker 1: we'd be one one hundredth as wealthy as we are 1725 01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:03,960 Speaker 1: right now as a world, I mean, and certainly as 1726 01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:08,559 Speaker 1: a country. So and don't fact check me on that number, 1727 01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:10,400 Speaker 1: because I'm just you know, spitballing. But you get what 1728 01:36:10,439 --> 01:36:14,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying. What other industries are going to come into 1729 01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:17,800 Speaker 1: the gun industry. I think there's already you see, some 1730 01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:20,559 Speaker 1: of the gun stocks are already very high because people 1731 01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:25,280 Speaker 1: are anticipating a spree of gun buying. It's already been 1732 01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:29,280 Speaker 1: going underway right now for a while, but the gun industry, 1733 01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:33,519 Speaker 1: they're going to go after them. I think the small 1734 01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:35,479 Speaker 1: business is going to have a very hard just small 1735 01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:38,040 Speaker 1: business in general, not even any one sector going to 1736 01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:41,040 Speaker 1: have a very hard time under the Buyen administration. So 1737 01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:45,840 Speaker 1: I would be prepared for that. I am trying to 1738 01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:48,080 Speaker 1: think who else is going to get really hit by this. 1739 01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:52,160 Speaker 1: Anybody who's on the wrong side of the environmentalists, anybody 1740 01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:55,479 Speaker 1: that's an individualist or believes in freedom and liberty in 1741 01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:57,880 Speaker 1: their business dealings, They're going to have a tough time. 1742 01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:01,639 Speaker 1: Wall Street will be fine, Big corporations will be fine, 1743 01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:08,480 Speaker 1: social media will be fine. It's gonna be startups, entrepreneurs, 1744 01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:15,200 Speaker 1: small businesses, fossil fuel industry. They're all gonna be in really, 1745 01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:17,759 Speaker 1: really rough shape. And look what they've done they continue 1746 01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:19,920 Speaker 1: to do to the restaurant industry. I mean, you could 1747 01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:22,400 Speaker 1: blame the Trump administration for some of this as well, 1748 01:37:22,520 --> 01:37:26,000 Speaker 1: or at least Democrat and some Republican governors of states 1749 01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:29,439 Speaker 1: that have shut down dining, but it's terrible for those businesses, 1750 01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:36,160 Speaker 1: you know, the hospitality industry, hotels, all the rest of it. So, yeah, Dave, 1751 01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:39,439 Speaker 1: or it's hay Buck. If science will rule shouldn't it 1752 01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:42,679 Speaker 1: be clear there are two genders? That is scary stuff. 1753 01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:44,920 Speaker 1: Keep up the great work. We're headed back to the 1754 01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:48,439 Speaker 1: days of Jimmy Carter. This is not good, yeah, Dave. 1755 01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:50,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how anybody can think that 1756 01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:53,240 Speaker 1: they're the Party of Science when they have a problem 1757 01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:56,920 Speaker 1: with there are two genders. I think that's very straightforward. 1758 01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,000 Speaker 1: I think it should be obvious to everybody that there 1759 01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:03,240 Speaker 1: are two genders. That is the truth. And there are 1760 01:38:03,280 --> 01:38:06,240 Speaker 1: some areas of our lives, there are some areas where 1761 01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:13,280 Speaker 1: the separation of the genders is important, and sports is 1762 01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:17,160 Speaker 1: certainly one of them. There is no reason, there's no 1763 01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:20,720 Speaker 1: need for people to pretend that they cannot observe what 1764 01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:24,360 Speaker 1: is readily observable. And men have a size, strength, and 1765 01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:27,920 Speaker 1: speed advantage over women. It's just a fact. Okay, we 1766 01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:33,920 Speaker 1: all know this. It's biology. It's very straightforward. So that 1767 01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:36,760 Speaker 1: the Democrat refusal on this one, you know, in part, 1768 01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:39,519 Speaker 1: it reminds me a little bit of how you could 1769 01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:42,120 Speaker 1: go to the Orwell's nineteen eighty four for this, because 1770 01:38:42,200 --> 01:38:48,839 Speaker 1: remember in the end when when they finally have the 1771 01:38:49,080 --> 01:38:53,360 Speaker 1: you know, the breakdown in nineteen eighty four, at the 1772 01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:58,120 Speaker 1: very end of the book. When when you have Winston 1773 01:38:58,240 --> 01:39:04,240 Speaker 1: Smith announcing Julia right, you know, Winston Smith announcing Julie 1774 01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:06,559 Speaker 1: at the end, as you know it's her fault. That's 1775 01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:11,639 Speaker 1: when they've really got you. That's when they've really destroyed you. 1776 01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:14,920 Speaker 1: When you will renounce the people you love or that 1777 01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:18,800 Speaker 1: you care about, or denounce them because of all the 1778 01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:23,120 Speaker 1: pressure on you. And then you see this with in 1779 01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:28,200 Speaker 1: totalitarian societies, getting you to renounce the truth, just getting 1780 01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:32,360 Speaker 1: you to say things that are not true because it 1781 01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:37,400 Speaker 1: unsettles you, It off balances you. It makes it less 1782 01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:40,040 Speaker 1: likely that you're willing to stand up and oppose them 1783 01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:43,240 Speaker 1: on anything because you have become a party to lies. 1784 01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:46,000 Speaker 1: When you have to say things that you know are 1785 01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:50,519 Speaker 1: not true, it debases your ability to discern what is true. 1786 01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:56,080 Speaker 1: And you are de facto a liar along with everybody else, 1787 01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:57,840 Speaker 1: even if you're being made to do it right, you 1788 01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:01,800 Speaker 1: you're telling lies. You know, when you have to say 1789 01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:06,879 Speaker 1: that gender is a social construct, and and your your business, 1790 01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:09,680 Speaker 1: your your employer maybe force you into this. Now you 1791 01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:14,840 Speaker 1: are being made to lie. And and in the same 1792 01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:17,519 Speaker 1: way that you know they will with child soldiers. In 1793 01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:20,160 Speaker 1: some of these um you see this with some of 1794 01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:23,439 Speaker 1: the you know, very violent you know, African militias and 1795 01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:26,920 Speaker 1: civil wars in African Sub Saharan Africa. They'll have child 1796 01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:30,560 Speaker 1: soldiers engage in you know, vicious brutality and in a 1797 01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:33,880 Speaker 1: murder because then it's destroyed their innocence, and then it's 1798 01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:38,000 Speaker 1: just easy to mold them afterwards. By debasing your morality, 1799 01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:40,439 Speaker 1: by debasing your ability to discern what is true from 1800 01:40:40,439 --> 01:40:42,920 Speaker 1: what is not, it makes it easier to control you 1801 01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:45,040 Speaker 1: with everything else. And I know it seems like, oh, well, 1802 01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:47,200 Speaker 1: this is just one thing, but but it isn't just 1803 01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:50,000 Speaker 1: one thing, because there'll be other things too. They will 1804 01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:53,280 Speaker 1: make you a party to lies, so then they can 1805 01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:56,519 Speaker 1: force more lies upon you because they've already broken you. 1806 01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:01,160 Speaker 1: That's part of this whole obsession that the left has 1807 01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:10,000 Speaker 1: with the transgender agenda. That's that's being just put at 1808 01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:13,240 Speaker 1: the very forefront of the Biden administration. That's what we 1809 01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:16,920 Speaker 1: see happening. This is the Buck Sexton Show Podcast.

He may read it on 1812 01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:29,280 Speaker 1: the show. Roll call continues here with Gina, Hey, Buck, 1813 01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:31,960 Speaker 1: so much you have talked about in the time since 1814 01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:35,160 Speaker 1: the election and inauguration, but I will focus on one 1815 01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:38,479 Speaker 1: Biden and his faith. A big deal has been made 1816 01:41:38,479 --> 01:41:41,440 Speaker 1: of Biden being only one of a couple Catholic presidents. 1817 01:41:41,880 --> 01:41:45,120 Speaker 1: Suddenly religion seems to be very important to the left. 1818 01:41:45,600 --> 01:41:49,559 Speaker 1: Acb was an extremist, but Biden is a saint. His 1819 01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:53,400 Speaker 1: professed faith has quite frankly, been sickening to watch. There's 1820 01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:57,200 Speaker 1: even talk of his policies becoming mainstream among Catholics, including abortion, 1821 01:41:57,600 --> 01:41:59,960 Speaker 1: and questions being posed like so, where in the Bible 1822 01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:03,320 Speaker 1: is abortion labeled as a sin? Francis has ushered in 1823 01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:06,720 Speaker 1: a new world order according to his socialist tendencies. It's appalling. 1824 01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:09,439 Speaker 1: But the day the Church indicates its acceptance of the 1825 01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:12,200 Speaker 1: murder of the unborn as doctrine, well that's a day 1826 01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:14,120 Speaker 1: the Holy Catholic Church is dead to me and a 1827 01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:16,920 Speaker 1: few million other believers, or so I hope still with you, 1828 01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:21,800 Speaker 1: buck Shield's Eye very high, Gina, I think your analysis 1829 01:42:21,840 --> 01:42:24,439 Speaker 1: is correct. I don't believe the Church will budge on 1830 01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:26,320 Speaker 1: that issue, though. I don't think that they because they 1831 01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:29,120 Speaker 1: would recognize that that that's the that would be the end. 1832 01:42:29,320 --> 01:42:31,479 Speaker 1: I mean, the Catholic Church would be in a shambles 1833 01:42:31,479 --> 01:42:33,800 Speaker 1: if that. I've never got to that point. But Joe 1834 01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:36,880 Speaker 1: Biden using his Catholicism as a shield is laughable because 1835 01:42:36,920 --> 01:42:40,120 Speaker 1: he is going against Catholicism with his public policies on 1836 01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:43,240 Speaker 1: core issues, not on minor stuff. You know, I'm not 1837 01:42:43,320 --> 01:42:45,800 Speaker 1: saying that this isn't like, oh, people should give up 1838 01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:48,160 Speaker 1: fish on Friday's for lent or something, or you know, 1839 01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:51,439 Speaker 1: give up meat. Rather sorry, give up meat, gosh Buck, 1840 01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:54,960 Speaker 1: get back to church on Friday's and only eat fish 1841 01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:58,040 Speaker 1: for lent. This is this is big. I mean, the 1842 01:42:58,080 --> 01:43:01,800 Speaker 1: abortion issue is a central moral question and it's very 1843 01:43:01,840 --> 01:43:06,360 Speaker 1: important to the church, and Joe Biden's continuing cowardice on 1844 01:43:06,439 --> 01:43:10,200 Speaker 1: it is something that people should be appalled by, especially 1845 01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:12,800 Speaker 1: as fellow Catholics, but a lot of them aren't. A 1846 01:43:12,840 --> 01:43:15,280 Speaker 1: lot of them are not. They will continue to support 1847 01:43:15,320 --> 01:43:17,760 Speaker 1: them on this even though, well you all see what's 1848 01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:20,640 Speaker 1: going on. Eric Buck. I just want to congratulate you 1849 01:43:20,680 --> 01:43:24,720 Speaker 1: on being correct yet again. For months you said incredulously 1850 01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:27,400 Speaker 1: that the mask mandates would get to the point where 1851 01:43:27,439 --> 01:43:30,600 Speaker 1: they would begin to say where two masks wear it 1852 01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:33,720 Speaker 1: during flu season, where it if you have a summer call, etc. 1853 01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:37,559 Speaker 1: As it happens with your insights, they generally come to 1854 01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:41,519 Speaker 1: pass given some time, Eric, thank you. I appreciate that, because, yes, 1855 01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:44,280 Speaker 1: I have been saying that, Prucer Mark, haven't. I've been 1856 01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:46,559 Speaker 1: pretty annoying about saying this a lot for a long time. 1857 01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:49,280 Speaker 1: You have been almost a year now, yeah, almost a 1858 01:43:49,360 --> 01:43:51,400 Speaker 1: year now, Okay, saying this is what's going to happen, folks, 1859 01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:53,000 Speaker 1: I've been telling you. I've been telling you this was 1860 01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:55,920 Speaker 1: going to be where this is all going. Eric continues, 1861 01:43:56,280 --> 01:43:59,080 Speaker 1: It seems Fauci is now recommending that people double mask. 1862 01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:02,120 Speaker 1: I find it ironic because this would seem to suggest 1863 01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:05,240 Speaker 1: his initial comments on the effective effectiveness of masks were 1864 01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:07,960 Speaker 1: truthful and not some event to say a lot of 1865 01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:11,080 Speaker 1: people to save Ppe. So where does this end? A 1866 01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:13,640 Speaker 1: career bureaucrat has felt the power he's been preparing to 1867 01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:16,840 Speaker 1: ascend to his entire professional career, and it seems, at 1868 01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:19,479 Speaker 1: least to me that he likes it. His interviews don't 1869 01:44:19,479 --> 01:44:21,759 Speaker 1: come across as someone who shuns the spotlight or redirects 1870 01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:24,599 Speaker 1: attention to people doing the actual work. Eric, you and 1871 01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:28,280 Speaker 1: I are on the same page here, My man absolutely correct. 1872 01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:33,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's troubling to see this play out. 1873 01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:36,920 Speaker 1: I whish more people understood what we see right now. Kevin, 1874 01:44:37,240 --> 01:44:40,679 Speaker 1: it will take thirteen hundred and eight rail cars per 1875 01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:44,680 Speaker 1: day to replace the pipelines eight hundred and fifty thousand 1876 01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:48,720 Speaker 1: barrel per day capacity against. The environmentalists are okay with this. 1877 01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:50,680 Speaker 1: I wonder what the farmers will think when there will 1878 01:44:50,680 --> 01:44:53,639 Speaker 1: not be any room on the rails for their products. Yeah, Kevin, 1879 01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:59,639 Speaker 1: Keystone Xcel banning. It is pure ideology over facts, reason, logic, 1880 01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:04,240 Speaker 1: and good governance. It just shows you what the Biden administration, 1881 01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:06,880 Speaker 1: and this is a day one thing. It shows you 1882 01:45:06,920 --> 01:45:11,280 Speaker 1: what they're willing to do in order to placate their 1883 01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:17,120 Speaker 1: left wing base and to give away, you know, give 1884 01:45:17,120 --> 01:45:20,000 Speaker 1: away things that they shouldn't, but they will do it 1885 01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:24,200 Speaker 1: because that's really who the Democrats are. The socialist impulse 1886 01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:27,840 Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party is that is there, That is 1887 01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:30,760 Speaker 1: in their souls, friends, even if they can't necessarily be 1888 01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:33,000 Speaker 1: open about it. That's where that party is going. That's 1889 01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:36,120 Speaker 1: what they really want. Gotta leave it there for today, folks, 1890 01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:38,920 Speaker 1: Please pass the buck.
