Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Shoe podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. The new era of government
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be in isn't exactly what we thought
Speaker 1: it would be, isn't Or perhaps you were not listening
Speaker 1: to the media you knew they were lying to you
Speaker 1: when they said Joe Biden's gonna be just good old
Speaker 1: blue collar Joe gonna be a reasonable guy, gonna play
Speaker 1: it straight, all about the unions and the working folks, right,
Speaker 1: the usual clap trap from Joe Biden that he's been
Speaker 1: peddling for decades now, while his party is all about
Speaker 1: coastal elites, the ultra rich, welfare cases, identity politics, and
Speaker 1: radical left wing Marxist ideology wherever they can get away
Speaker 1: with it. That's what the Democrat Party actually is. But
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is supposed to fool people, and unfortunately it
Speaker 1: worked well enough, but he won this last election full
Speaker 1: them into thinking that no, no, it's going to be
Speaker 1: a moderate Democrat party. Look at the number of executive
Speaker 1: orders that Biden signed on his first day in office
Speaker 1: compared to executive orders in a similar time period from
Speaker 1: all the presidencies before him. Biden came into office with
Speaker 1: a plan, not one that he had, one that has
Speaker 1: been handed to him, and he is executing on it.
Speaker 1: He's doing what he's told. He's taking the actions that
Speaker 1: the apparatus around him is demanded. And we see this
Speaker 1: with a number of issues. The ending of gender segregated
Speaker 1: sports when it comes to transgender individuals, for example, there's
Speaker 1: that issue which will return to you later in the show.
Speaker 1: The ending of the building of the wall at the
Speaker 1: southern border, so that's coming right before we're going to
Speaker 1: have this whole push for amnesty. So a day facto
Speaker 1: open border, joining the Paris Climate Accord, and now the
Speaker 1: destruction of the Keystone Xcel pipeline project, preventing it from
Speaker 1: being completed. Deciding that this is now done, it's over with.
Speaker 1: Why would Joe Biden do this? The country is hurting.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people who are out of work.
Speaker 1: What we've really seen is a bifurcation, a separation of
Speaker 1: the country into two into two very different classes. There
Speaker 1: are the people that get to work where they want,
Speaker 1: when they want, without any change in their wages, and
Speaker 1: then the people that have to bring them their food.
Speaker 1: The people that have to actually deliver things to the stores,
Speaker 1: or work in the stores, or operate the nursing homes.
Speaker 1: Right there are the folks that haven't really suffered during
Speaker 1: this and don't really care about the suffering that the
Speaker 1: rest of the country goes through, but talk a lot
Speaker 1: about it. And then there the people that have to
Speaker 1: deal with the negative consequences in very personal terms of
Speaker 1: these lockdowns. They have to deal with the downside, the
Speaker 1: downside that's constantly minimized in media discussions about all of this.
Speaker 1: The Keystone Xcel is just a harbinger of things to come,
Speaker 1: don't you see. There's no real justification for this. It's
Speaker 1: utter nonsense. But the enviral wacko left views this as
Speaker 1: a religious a religious fight. This is a jihad of
Speaker 1: sorts to stop the Keystone Xcel pipeline from being built
Speaker 1: because of the theoretical threat to wet lands or yeah,
Speaker 1: it could possibly spill. They say, well, guess what. The
Speaker 1: gas is still coming out of the ground. The oil
Speaker 1: is still coming up. Now, it's just going to be
Speaker 1: distributed by trucks and other mechanisms that are actually much
Speaker 1: more likely to have leakage and spills. So they're not
Speaker 1: they're not helping the environment. They're not stopping any co
Speaker 1: two from getting into the atmosphere with this move. But
Speaker 1: more to the immediacy of it, you have thousands of
Speaker 1: people that are now out of a job. Now, I
Speaker 1: know that's only a drop in the bucket of all
Speaker 1: those who are unemployed across the country, but it's not
Speaker 1: a drop in the bucket if you're relying on that
Speaker 1: paycheck to feed yourself and your family, keep a roof
Speaker 1: over your head, to pay your mortgage. It means a
Speaker 1: lot to those thousands of workers, and they're thousands of
Speaker 1: family members. And it's indicative here of what the mindset
Speaker 1: is of these these Democrat administration that's coming. They're not technocrats,
Speaker 1: they're not savvy strategists. They're not a bunch of brilliant,
Speaker 1: highly capable public servants who aren't going to push for
Speaker 1: partisan nonsense. This is Obama two point zero. That's what
Speaker 1: we're going through right now. Remember Obama, it was a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of you know, bombastic talk, a
Speaker 1: lot of eloquence, not a lot of substance. And the
Speaker 1: actual substance that you saw from the policies of that
Speaker 1: administration were far left, dragging the country to the left.
Speaker 1: No bipartisan outreach, no taking a center path, not being
Speaker 1: judged on outcomes, a being judged on promises. That's really
Speaker 1: where Democrats excel. And that's what you're already seeing. The
Speaker 1: Democrats couldn't keep promises based on what they said to
Speaker 1: get Joe Biden elected for a day once he was
Speaker 1: in office. You really think that's going to get any better?
Speaker 1: You think that's going to improve? What are we seeing
Speaker 1: here from this Biden administration? These thousands of jobs that
Speaker 1: are now up in smoke. Fascinating, isn't it that there
Speaker 1: were posts on Facebook that were tagged as misleading information
Speaker 1: about the Joe Biden the ramifications of the Joe Biden
Speaker 1: cancelation of Keystone Excel. And you know how they went
Speaker 1: through this. They said it's misleading because the estimate it
Speaker 1: was eleven thousand jobs and over a billion dollars of
Speaker 1: lost wages from not building this thing. And keep in
Speaker 1: mind there's also all the additional profits and productivity and
Speaker 1: energy security and domestic domestic production benefits that come from
Speaker 1: having the pipeline and operation. And this is a great
Speaker 1: thing for us with our Canadian neighbors. It was going
Speaker 1: to be a joint US Canadian project. Justin Trudeau, a leftist,
Speaker 1: wants it because he knows it's good for his country.
Speaker 1: Biden shuts it down because the Obama team kept finding
Speaker 1: ways to shut it down without saying that's really what
Speaker 1: they were doing. They kept delaying it, and they would say, well,
Speaker 1: we have to wait for a report from the State Department.
Speaker 1: And then the report came out they didn't like it,
Speaker 1: so they said, oh, well, we got to delay some more.
Speaker 1: But these Facebook posts that were marked as misleading, Now
Speaker 1: what they're doing is saying, well, these are projected job losses,
Speaker 1: so since it's a projection, we can't really know, therefore
Speaker 1: it's not true. Oh is that the new standard for
Speaker 1: a fact check? If I say that there's an estimated,
Speaker 1: you know, eleven thousand jobs that we lost from Keystone
Speaker 1: Xcel and all the numbers going to something close to that,
Speaker 1: they're gonna fact check me. Now, they only do this
Speaker 1: to anybody standing in the way of the consensus. Corporate
Speaker 1: is left. They're shutting down our ability to speak, to communicate,
Speaker 1: to share ideas. They are twisting the notion of a
Speaker 1: fact check itself because it benefits them. Right now, it
Speaker 1: turns out that it is thousands of jobs that are
Speaker 1: being cost here by this one decision. It is at
Speaker 1: least a billion dollars of wages lost. And you know
Speaker 1: who's picking up this tab, union workers. A lot of
Speaker 1: union workers were gonna be on this project. Now there's
Speaker 1: no project. So the Democrats say, well, they're only temporary jobs. Okay,
Speaker 1: have they ever men anybody who works in construction, because
Speaker 1: most jobs in construction are temporary jobs. You know, you
Speaker 1: don't build something forever. You build it till it's done,
Speaker 1: then you move on to the next project. But it's
Speaker 1: just another dodge. It's another dishonest way to try to
Speaker 1: evade accountability for what has been done here, which is
Speaker 1: just a straight up optics based ideological giveaway to the radical,
Speaker 1: enviral wacko left. People who won't change their own behaviors.
Speaker 1: Want to live in big fancy houses, drive big fancy cars,
Speaker 1: fly private whenever they can. But you have to pay
Speaker 1: higher energy prices, maybe even lose your job because we
Speaker 1: can't have Mother Earth overheat. Don't know, it's an existential threat.
Speaker 1: Who really believes that nonsense? I'm amazed when I meet
Speaker 1: people that actually think that that's true. But there are
Speaker 1: so many of them. You look at the polling and
Speaker 1: even Democrats recognize that climate change is a very low
Speaker 1: priority for a vast majority of them, because come on,
Speaker 1: let's be serious human beings for a moment here. But
Speaker 1: there is this minority when the Democrat party five ten,
Speaker 1: maybe fifteen percent who walk around and they say that
Speaker 1: it's an existential threat. Climate change is an existential threat,
Speaker 1: and it's a badge of honor they think when they
Speaker 1: say it shows how smart, how virtuous they are. It's
Speaker 1: a joke, of course, when you look at the change
Speaker 1: in fossil fuel usage globally over the last thirty years,
Speaker 1: thanks to India and China, there basically is no change.
Speaker 1: But oh, it's we're all supposed to be so thankful
Speaker 1: for the climate change activists out there. They're doing such
Speaker 1: great jobs, such a great way. You know. You know
Speaker 1: who's not thankful though, the people who suffer the consequences
Speaker 1: of bad decisions, the people that now have to go
Speaker 1: home and think, how do I pay my rent? How
Speaker 1: do I afford my groceries? Because good old blue collar
Speaker 1: Joe loves the union workers just decided that thousands of
Speaker 1: them have jobs that don't count enough. Here is a
Speaker 1: manager of the Keystone Pipeline, Keystone XL Pipeline, what was
Speaker 1: formerly known as because now of course the project's done,
Speaker 1: telling folks about what's really going on. Hearing from him,
Speaker 1: play three right now, the numbers of jobs are thousands
Speaker 1: of jobs. There's Michaels, there's Precision pipeline that we've affected,
Speaker 1: that the pipeline was going to be constructed. The actions
Speaker 1: that were happened recently, we were doing station work. There's
Speaker 1: hundreds of guys that got laid off. Jobs gone laid off. Sorry,
Speaker 1: no more paycheck for you. Joe Biden wanted to pat
Speaker 1: on the head from environmentalists who live in in Malibu
Speaker 1: and Brooklyn. Sorry, too bad, no more job. These are
Speaker 1: the Democrats that are supposed to care so much about
Speaker 1: the working class. You know what their real plan is
Speaker 1: to tax you, to tax the middle class, to tax
Speaker 1: people who are earners more, to make your life more
Speaker 1: expensive and more difficult, and to print more money to
Speaker 1: give to other people. That is their plan. And the
Speaker 1: whole time they're going to talk to you about how
Speaker 1: much they care about the suffering and the struggles of
Speaker 1: the working class, while all the major decision making is
Speaker 1: going to make life harder for the working claus. Going
Speaker 1: to make your healthcare premiums go up, going to make
Speaker 1: your healthcare quality go down, going to make competition for
Speaker 1: your job, particularly from illegal alien workers, go up, going
Speaker 1: to make your wages go down. We are going to
Speaker 1: see now the results of a Biden presidency, just like
Speaker 1: we saw the results of the Obama presidency, and they
Speaker 1: are weak, if not disastrous. But you know what they're
Speaker 1: going to do. Keep people distracted with BLM protests against
Speaker 1: those evil racist cops. Tell people how awful Trump was.
Speaker 1: Just keep keep on the Orange Man bad routine. That'll
Speaker 1: keep it all going, and have the media completely in
Speaker 1: the pocket of this administration preventing not only does the
Speaker 1: media refuse to ask real questions of the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: I mean that's where you have real authoritarianism, when the
Speaker 1: media and the government are working hand in glove. That's
Speaker 1: where we are now. Yes, there are a few outposts
Speaker 1: where real questions can still get asked, and the rest
Speaker 1: of the media is trying to shut them down. So
Speaker 1: it's not even that the the the media overall, That
Speaker 1: journalism overall does the does the work of the Biden administration.
Speaker 1: By refusing to ask real questions, they suppress real questions
Speaker 1: from anybody else, And it's all going to be the narrative. Oh,
Speaker 1: look at how great Joe. But look at that Look
Speaker 1: at that big grin. Oh or his grandchildren so cute.
Speaker 1: Oh he's got dogs at the White House. Now, isn't
Speaker 1: that wonderful? Shut up about the jobs that have been
Speaker 1: lost from union workers on Keystone Xcel. That doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Look at look at what a nice guy Joe is
Speaker 1: and how much he cares. They're gonna try to bludgeon
Speaker 1: you into submission with these lies. Get ready for it
Speaker 1: and resist it with all your might, my friends, because
Speaker 1: the future of the country hangs in the ballance. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram,
Speaker 1: and Twitter. Federal government also owns an enormous fleet of
Speaker 1: vehicles which we're going to replace with clean electric vehicles
Speaker 1: made right here in America by American workers, creating millions
Speaker 1: of job a million autoworker jobs, and clean energy and
Speaker 1: vehicles that are net zero emissions. And together this will
Speaker 1: be the largest mobilization of public investment and procurement, infrastructure
Speaker 1: and r and decense World War two. Just going to
Speaker 1: spend a whole lot of your tax dollars on electric cars.
Speaker 1: That's gonna that's gonna save us. This is all ideologically driven.
Speaker 1: This is not this is not based in good governance.
Speaker 1: This is not based in anything that is important or
Speaker 1: necessary for the day to day lives of the American
Speaker 1: people right now. But you know, a net zero emission
Speaker 1: vehicle fleet they want by what twenty thirty, twenty thirty five,
Speaker 1: All this stuff that you're hearing. They use this very
Speaker 1: very long timeline so that they can't be held responsible
Speaker 1: for the expense, the loss, the frustration, the downside right now.
Speaker 1: The downside will be apparent right away. But hey, they're
Speaker 1: trying to get to a whole different world, man. That's
Speaker 1: the game plan here, that's what they're doing. But it's
Speaker 1: so interesting that Biden throws union workers on the Keystone
Speaker 1: XL pipeline under the bus right away, because you know,
Speaker 1: the Sierra Club, because the Chardonnay socialists who care much
Speaker 1: more about species of eagle that they've never seen, or
Speaker 1: of you know, owls that they'll never actually come across
Speaker 1: in the wild, or perhaps a small fish, as in
Speaker 1: the case of the Delta smelt in California. Go check
Speaker 1: that one out if you're really curious how wacko the
Speaker 1: Democrats are. They care more about that than they do
Speaker 1: about the American people, American workers, you know, the folks
Speaker 1: that have to work with their hands and do a
Speaker 1: tough and rough job and receive a decent but not
Speaker 1: nearly enough wage for it. They don't. They don't really
Speaker 1: have respect for those people. But you know who does
Speaker 1: get a lot of love from Biden and the rest
Speaker 1: of the Democrats when it comes to unions, Public sectory unions.
Speaker 1: That's right, Public sector unions are sacrosanct. Private sector unions
Speaker 1: you can actually make a case for. You can understand,
Speaker 1: especially people that are in hard, you know, laborious, hard work,
Speaker 1: hard work situations, and they they band together and they
Speaker 1: get better wages, better benefits, working conditions. Was what I
Speaker 1: was trying to think of. That was afraid, hard, hard
Speaker 1: working conditions. They come together and they have the possibility of,
Speaker 1: you know, negotiating with management and striking better bargains. Public
Speaker 1: sector unions, as you know, from the dawn of unionization
Speaker 1: in this country, the public sector unions have been a
Speaker 1: constant problem, and we're known in the beginning. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think it was FDR who said that the idea
Speaker 1: of public sector unions is crazy. You can't you can't
Speaker 1: have political power growing in that way within the government,
Speaker 1: then demanding wages and benefits where their only counterparty is
Speaker 1: the government, which they can then support through their union donations.
Speaker 1: So of course it's the taxpayers writing all the checks.
Speaker 1: It's not like management of a private company. So yeah,
Speaker 1: they're going to give them everything they can get away with,
Speaker 1: the biggest drag on, the biggest drag on taxpayers, and
Speaker 1: a lot of you will see this in the taxes
Speaker 1: paid on your homes, right, Why do those keep Why
Speaker 1: does the assessment always go up? You're like, well, could
Speaker 1: I even get this amount of money from my house
Speaker 1: because my assessment keeps going up? Well, that's because you
Speaker 1: are paying for munists, siple employees, particularly their pensions. Gotta
Speaker 1: back end those benefits as much as possible. You're paying
Speaker 1: for municipal employee pensions and medicaid. That's what runs state
Speaker 1: and local budgets in this country off a cliff. Those
Speaker 1: two things so you're paying for those municipal workers who
Speaker 1: get to negotiate for their better benefits through a union
Speaker 1: that doesn't have anybody to stop to step in and say,
Speaker 1: hold on a second, that's unreasonable. No, if they can
Speaker 1: get away with it without the Democrats in an area
Speaker 1: suffering the political consequences, they'll do it. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: how expensive it is over the long term. Well, this
Speaker 1: has come up now in one big case in Chicago.
Speaker 1: Let's dive into it. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening to The buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the
Speaker 1: latest from Bucket buck Sexton dot com. I believe we
Speaker 1: should make school classrooms safe and secure for the students,
Speaker 1: for the teachers, and the help that's in those schools
Speaker 1: maintaining the facilities. We need new ventilation system in those schools.
Speaker 1: We need testing for people coming in and out of
Speaker 1: the classes. We need testing for teachers as well as students.
Speaker 1: And we need the capacity, the capacity to know that
Speaker 1: in fact, the sick of the circumstance in the school
Speaker 1: is safe and secure for everyone. So it's not so
Speaker 1: much about the idea teachers aren't going to work. The
Speaker 1: teachers I know they want to work they just want
Speaker 1: to work in a safe environment and as safe as
Speaker 1: we can rastically make it. And we can do that,
Speaker 1: and we should be able to open up every school
Speaker 1: kindergarten through eighth grade if in fact we administer these tests,
Speaker 1: and we'll have the added advantage, I might add, of
Speaker 1: putting millions of people pull back to work. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess what. The teachers union in Chicago, one of the
Speaker 1: largest school districts in the country, shot down Joe Biden's
Speaker 1: proposal for his first hundred days of reopening schools. Yes,
Speaker 1: this is what. This is what we've been saying along.
Speaker 1: They're taking children hostage. They're they're saying, sorry, can educate
Speaker 1: your kids? Too dangerous to go into school? I'm sorry?
Speaker 1: Is it too dangerous for the grocery store workers down
Speaker 1: the street from where I live to go do their
Speaker 1: jobs because they've been doing it from day one of
Speaker 1: the pandemic? Is it too dangerous for the people operating
Speaker 1: the pharmacies that have to stay open so people can
Speaker 1: get medicines and essential supplies during them because they've been
Speaker 1: opened the whole time. Oh oh, but teachers are special.
Speaker 1: They shouldn't have to Is their job essential or not?
Speaker 1: Because if you get the essential designation, you should also
Speaker 1: have to perform the essential service. But now they're talking
Speaker 1: about doing an illegal strike, even they're talking about going
Speaker 1: to that level, and it's all because they say that
Speaker 1: it's because of safety concerns. No, let's be honest here.
Speaker 1: The teachers Union, which is the one of the biggest
Speaker 1: of all the machines for getting Democrats entrenched in power
Speaker 1: in major cities across the country. The teachers Union is
Speaker 1: one of the most powerful. You could even argue with
Speaker 1: the single most powerful. I mean, it's right up there
Speaker 1: with the corporate media, but with the teachers Union, it's
Speaker 1: it's real big dollar donations that are flowing into these
Speaker 1: Democrat candidates. And they also are able to hold society
Speaker 1: hostage in a sense here by I said holding kids,
Speaker 1: but with that it comes to their parents. So it's
Speaker 1: really all of society in these major cities because they say, sorry,
Speaker 1: can't teach, can't do it. That means you can't go
Speaker 1: to your job, you gotta stay home with the kid.
Speaker 1: You don't have money for daycare, so you're stuck, can't
Speaker 1: pay for babysitters all day, can't pay for private school,
Speaker 1: so they have a lot of leverage here and they
Speaker 1: use it. This is this is appalling what's going on
Speaker 1: right now. I want to want to be very clear
Speaker 1: about this, that that the teachers unions, I've been saying
Speaker 1: this all along, they have shown people here with their
Speaker 1: willingness to go along. They go along with the pretense
Speaker 1: that school is somehow this dangerous place to them during COVID. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're showing that they really just care about themselves.
Speaker 1: That's actually what matters to them. This is effectively a
Speaker 1: strike that they're calling for an a legal strike even
Speaker 1: though their collective bargaining agreement says they cannot strike. And
Speaker 1: Biden wants Congress to give another one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: billion dollars to help schools, but somehow that's not going
Speaker 1: to require schools to reopen. The problem here is self
Speaker 1: serving unions. The problem here is that the people in
Speaker 1: charge of making these decisions don't really care about kids.
Speaker 1: And what they're really going to be talking about, what
Speaker 1: they're really going to be discussing going forward, is how
Speaker 1: they can extract maximum benefits out of this whole COVID pandemic.
Speaker 1: So the country's suffering parents are in a terrible spot.
Speaker 1: But Biden bends the need to the teachers union because
Speaker 1: if you're a Democrats, it's like the abortion lobby. You
Speaker 1: cannot be a Democrat and cross them. They will crush you.
Speaker 1: And they do not. Forget absolutely true of teachers unions
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, the fact that you have all
Speaker 1: these people are saying that they need that they need
Speaker 1: special air purifiers and all the stuff. Children are at
Speaker 1: almost no risk. We've already established that that's a fact,
Speaker 1: and children are at very very low risk of transmitting
Speaker 1: to adults. For whatever reason, that doesn't maybe because the
Speaker 1: children or their immune systems clear it so quickly that
Speaker 1: there's just it's very unlikely they're going to give this
Speaker 1: to an adult. And so what we're being told now
Speaker 1: is that teachers are rejecting in Chicago. I'm sure this
Speaker 1: is true in other cities. I know there's cities across
Speaker 1: the country where they're still very little to know in
Speaker 1: person learning going on. In New York, it's about for
Speaker 1: primary schools, you know, for grammar schools in the public
Speaker 1: school system, it's almost half of them are closed, and
Speaker 1: high schools are remaining closed. I mean, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of schooling going on. That's all remote
Speaker 1: learning and remote learning as we all know as a joke.
Speaker 1: Remote learning as we're seeing it for kids doesn't work,
Speaker 1: doesn't work the same way. But teachers get to stay
Speaker 1: home and they get to just do a video presentation.
Speaker 1: They don't have to discipline kids, they don't have to commute,
Speaker 1: they don't have to show up. It's a good gig.
Speaker 1: They don't want to give it up. They don't want
Speaker 1: to give it up. That's what's really happening. We're all
Speaker 1: seeing this right, and to come up with these ridiculous
Speaker 1: justifications for this. They need air purifiers, more cleaning protocols.
Speaker 1: The evidence is pretty obvious at this point. Anybody who
Speaker 1: sees it that, you know, liesoling a desk here or
Speaker 1: there doesn't stop the spread of COVID in any meaningful way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe there could be COVID on death, but
Speaker 1: it's it's in the air, it's aerosol eyes. That's where
Speaker 1: you're getting COVID. And they're gonna vaccinate teachers. They're already
Speaker 1: getting vaccinated in some places in New York. They've been
Speaker 1: at the front of the line for a teacher to
Speaker 1: be vaccinated and to say they're not going to go
Speaker 1: back into school is just laziness or cowardice or both.
Speaker 1: It's just wrong. But it's a Democrat, a Democrats center
Speaker 1: of power, and you know they don't care. They're gonna
Speaker 1: They're gonna be gentle. Joe Biden will be gentle with
Speaker 1: these lazy bureaucrats and the teachers' unions because the Democrats
Speaker 1: need them. And please don't send me emails or something.
Speaker 1: Oh but I'm a teacher and I want to go
Speaker 1: in a teaching Oh I know, I'm not talking about you.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the actual unions, the union officials who
Speaker 1: are representing you know, hundreds of thousands of teachers across
Speaker 1: the country. They are being a bunch of lazy, selfish
Speaker 1: union thugs, and they're showing us that it's they don't
Speaker 1: care about the kids. You know, they're they're pushing. You
Speaker 1: know why they're pushing. This is why one of the
Speaker 1: reasons why I'm so angry about this. You know that
Speaker 1: they're pushing for schools to open in Las Vegas because
Speaker 1: of an increase in student suicide and suicidal ideation. All right,
Speaker 1: So while teachers are all, oh, I don't want to do.
Speaker 1: Even if I get the vaccine, I don't want to
Speaker 1: have to go into the classroom. There are kids who
Speaker 1: are either thinking about or actually taking their own lives.
Speaker 1: And some of them are very young, which is usually
Speaker 1: you don't get this until people are later in their
Speaker 1: teenage years and there's more psychological issues that can manifest.
Speaker 1: But you're talking about really young kids that are just
Speaker 1: despondent because they don't get to see their friends, they
Speaker 1: don't have any daily routine outside the home. They're not learning,
Speaker 1: they don't have teachers to support them. You know, there
Speaker 1: should be an urgency, an urgency for teachers to get
Speaker 1: back in the classroom. If Fauci was not some little
Speaker 1: quizzling coward, he would go out and say, guys, every
Speaker 1: school in America right now, every school in America should
Speaker 1: be open, full stop, across the entire country. There is
Speaker 1: no reasonable basis to shut down, you know, K through
Speaker 1: eight schooling because of COVID fears. It's nonsense. But he
Speaker 1: won't say that. You know why. He's a little Democrat
Speaker 1: operative wearing a lab coat collecting four hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: plus a year in taxpayer funded salary. That's who fauci is,
Speaker 1: and you're seeing who Joe Biden is now too, just
Speaker 1: another slimy, self interested Democrat who's gonna do whatever he
Speaker 1: has to do to keep the power centers of the
Speaker 1: DNC and the rest of the Democrat Party happy, which
Speaker 1: means a lot of bad stuff happening to you and
Speaker 1: me and the country. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

Speaker 1: on the show. Well, my question wasn't would be or
Speaker 1: roughly whenever you think anyone what one would be able
Speaker 1: to get it? Oh, I know, I think we'll be
Speaker 1: this spring. I think we'll be able to do that
Speaker 1: this spring. But it's going to be a logistical challenge
Speaker 1: that exceeds anything we've ever tried in this country. But
Speaker 1: I think we can do that. I feel confident that
Speaker 1: by summer we're going to be well on our way
Speaker 1: to heading toward HERD immunity and increasing the access for
Speaker 1: people who aren't on the first on the list, all
Speaker 1: the way going down to children and how we deal
Speaker 1: with that. But I feel good about where we're going,
Speaker 1: and I think we can get it done children. Now,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be vaccinating children against this. Does anyone in
Speaker 1: the scientific community want to speak out and talk about
Speaker 1: how this is that that there's very little reason for
Speaker 1: children to get vaccinated unless there's a concern that they're
Speaker 1: going to pass it on to a high at risk adult.
Speaker 1: But think about this, If all the adults have been vaccinated,
Speaker 1: why are children going to be vaccinated? If all adults
Speaker 1: have had their chance, free and open to get the vaccine,
Speaker 1: no cost to them, months and months to sign up
Speaker 1: and do all this, we're gonna We're gonna make children
Speaker 1: get this now before they go to school for a
Speaker 1: disease that their immune system has a I mean, you
Speaker 1: look at the numbers of children that have died from this.
Speaker 1: It's it's like you can count them on a hand
Speaker 1: or two. It's across the entire natures. Three hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty million people in the country. We're gonna have vaccinated
Speaker 1: all the kids. Are we gonna slow the reopen toil
Speaker 1: all the children are vaccine. They did too. This is
Speaker 1: what we're all waking up now to this reality. The
Speaker 1: reality of Joe Biden is a third tier intellectual and
Speaker 1: a fourth tier politician who all of a sudden is
Speaker 1: now the leader of the free world, not even based
Speaker 1: on having some snappy slogans and ideas, just you know,
Speaker 1: not Trump Trump, you know, Orange man bad Trump was
Speaker 1: hitler anybody but him, And this is what we've got now,
Speaker 1: anybody that includes Joe Biden. Apparently there's no great plan here. Well,
Speaker 1: do you think the administration that's bringing in people like
Speaker 1: Jen Saki is gonna show it's gonna blow everyone away
Speaker 1: with how amazing they are at logistics and execution. You
Speaker 1: think all of a sudden they've become really sharp and
Speaker 1: savvy about how to get things done in government. I
Speaker 1: mean they'll pursue ideological ends, but I mean things that
Speaker 1: are actually benefits to the American people overall. A better economy,
Speaker 1: more jobs, more security, more sanity, less government in your life,
Speaker 1: more freedom, more openness, reopening America. Do you think they're
Speaker 1: gonna be good at this? Why? What makes anybody believe
Speaker 1: that they would have any greater competency than what we
Speaker 1: saw about the Obama administration, which was just all Obahama
Speaker 1: is so amazing, Oh my gosh, she's so brilliant and
Speaker 1: handsome and perfect and wonderful, and we'd say, well, hold
Speaker 1: on a second. I mean, Obamacare is a mess. It's
Speaker 1: thousands of pages. It's not good. Obama actually really divided
Speaker 1: the country in a lot of ways. He turned on
Speaker 1: cops for obvious partisan pandering, and you know, his national
Speaker 1: security and his international relations policies were appallingly inept and
Speaker 1: really almost it was like it was juvenile. It was childish.
Speaker 1: Worse than juvenile. The way that the way that the
Speaker 1: Obama administration approached the rest of the world, in the
Speaker 1: begging for forgiveness, the not understanding who are enemies and
Speaker 1: allies really were. I mean, it was a mess, but
Speaker 1: Obama was so wonderful that none of that was supposed
Speaker 1: to matter. They're going to try that same thing with
Speaker 1: you now with Joe Biden. He's such a good guy.
Speaker 1: Oh you can't get mad at blue collar Joey's such
Speaker 1: a good guy. No. Sorry, you know he ran for
Speaker 1: this job how many times before? His whole life has
Speaker 1: been about getting this job, and now we're seeing, Oh,
Speaker 1: so this guy's in a nept fool. This guy's not
Speaker 1: good at this, this guy's not smart, he doesn't have
Speaker 1: some vision for the country, and vaccines is going to
Speaker 1: be the first place where they're just going to lie
Speaker 1: to you endlessly because you'll see this. They don't have
Speaker 1: some much better plan. They haven't figured this out. No,
Speaker 1: they're just they just made a lot of promises that
Speaker 1: they're absolutely not going to be able to keep. You
Speaker 1: have Ouster home. This guy Michael Osterholme, who's one of
Speaker 1: the Biden you know, COVID advisor people, and here he
Speaker 1: is saying, oh, you know what was done before, which
Speaker 1: was so bad played twelve when the Operation worms feed
Speaker 1: activity took place. It was a magnificent for example of
Speaker 1: science and research and manufacturing capacity all coming together to
Speaker 1: bring us these new vaccines. But they last mile on
Speaker 1: the last inch, we're not addressed at all. Basically the
Speaker 1: plan was just dumped the vaccine in the States, good luck,
Speaker 1: and we have to first of all know how to
Speaker 1: get it out, just as we just talked about. But
Speaker 1: that last inch is critical. How do you outreach to
Speaker 1: the very people that don't have computers or that may
Speaker 1: be frightened of the vaccine because it comes from Operation
Speaker 1: warp speed And so right now, the feet on the
Speaker 1: ground activities in our local areas that are so critical
Speaker 1: are reaching just these kinds of people, the people who
Speaker 1: are at highest risk, who may not even have access
Speaker 1: to getting to a clinic easily. How are you going
Speaker 1: to get them vaccinated? That's what's happening right now. Are
Speaker 1: the plans on the ground are actually being developed just
Speaker 1: for that. I wish we had them before, but we
Speaker 1: didn't have the support to do that. The states have
Speaker 1: when they have intelligent leadership, been able to do this.
Speaker 1: You know what the state are that can't get it done.
Speaker 1: States like New York, States like California where the vaccine
Speaker 1: is somehow a social justice issue. The vaccine is falling
Speaker 1: victim to identity politics. This virus kills old people first
Speaker 1: and foremost it should get to old people, But no,
Speaker 1: there's all this who's an essential worker? Are there disproportionate
Speaker 1: numbers of essential workers who are people of color? Therefore
Speaker 1: do we have to get them the vaccine before other
Speaker 1: essential workers to balance things out? Remember how that was
Speaker 1: written about in the New York Times and what they said.
Speaker 1: The states have been falling down on this one. And
Speaker 1: I just want to scream. I'm here in New York
Speaker 1: City and my father who's in his seventies, try to
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, and they couldn't get it done, and
Speaker 1: they're acting like the problem is, oh, well, there are
Speaker 1: people who are scared of the vaccine. Try to get
Speaker 1: a vaccine in New York right now, if you're a
Speaker 1: senior city, if you're not even just a senior citizen,
Speaker 1: if you're over well, yeah, I get a senior citizen
Speaker 1: over sixty five. And it's a byzantine mess. But teachers, unions,
Speaker 1: you know, thirty year old fourth grade teachers, they're getting
Speaker 1: the vaccine, no problem, because you know, the unions are powerful,
Speaker 1: so they set that up for them. No problem. City
Speaker 1: can't upset them. But everyday folks in their seventies and
Speaker 1: eighties really difficult to get the vaccine here. And you
Speaker 1: who are willing to wait in line, as my own
Speaker 1: father did for four hours in the freezing cold to
Speaker 1: get a vaccine, they couldn't get it done because they're morons.
Speaker 1: Because these democrats are all about demagoguery and promises and
Speaker 1: pretense they cannot execute. Their ideology is rooted in a
Speaker 1: vision of the world that is not real, but it
Speaker 1: makes them feel really good about themselves and makes the
Speaker 1: people who vote for them also feel really good about themselves.
Speaker 1: It's governance by virtue signaling it's not going to work out. Well,
Speaker 1: you're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from buckt at
Speaker 1: buck Sexton dot com. It's Arsani time. David Arsani from
Speaker 1: National Review back with us now to talk about what's
Speaker 1: going on with this new administration, with vaccination, with the
Speaker 1: return to normalcy we were promised but not getting and
Speaker 1: owe so much more. David, good to see you, always
Speaker 1: great to be here. Thank you. Bus So, I've I've
Speaker 1: been very annoyed and expressing it on radio after having
Speaker 1: had a family member of mine here in New York
Speaker 1: go through the process of waiting for hours and hours
Speaker 1: in freezing temperatures in line. He's you know, he's my
Speaker 1: dad's in his seventies after spending hours to get an
Speaker 1: appointment on I mean, the whole thing is just a mess.
Speaker 1: And we were hearing from the Biden administrations. They come
Speaker 1: in they're telling us, oh, but the Trump people didn't
Speaker 1: do a good enough job getting the states. No, the states,
Speaker 1: like in cases like New York are the ones that
Speaker 1: are messing all of this up. But it's even worse
Speaker 1: than that. I mean, tell us about about what happens
Speaker 1: if you have vaccine that's going to go bad and
Speaker 1: you give it to somebody. Well, there's a story out
Speaker 1: of Houston where this doctor was. This is back in
Speaker 1: December twenty ninth. He had some of the Maderna I
Speaker 1: think that's how he pronounced that company of vaccines. And
Speaker 1: obviously they need to be refrigerated after a while and
Speaker 1: they expire. So it's like he goes through the whole day,
Speaker 1: gives out to everyone who comes. It's six thirty, there's
Speaker 1: no one there. He offers to give it to the
Speaker 1: people who work there, and they don't want it or
Speaker 1: they've gotten it, you know, the cops and the first responders.
Speaker 1: And then he calls up his county commissioner and says,
Speaker 1: is there anyone online somewhere else who needs it? And
Speaker 1: they say no, there isn't. So he opens up his
Speaker 1: phone and he looks for some elderly people he knows,
Speaker 1: and his chronically old wife, and he gives the remaining
Speaker 1: doses to them. He writes it all down in the
Speaker 1: log as he's supposed to or whatever the rules say,
Speaker 1: and a few days later, you know, he explains this
Speaker 1: to someone who he works with. That person snitches on him, right,
Speaker 1: and he's fired and they charge him with about what
Speaker 1: they charge him with theft by a public official something
Speaker 1: along those lines, which is not it's a misdemeanor, but
Speaker 1: does mess your you know, your license stuff like that.
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's serious for him. So essentially, and
Speaker 1: this is happening with thousands of doses around the country,
Speaker 1: we are telling people to drop all common sense to
Speaker 1: waste doses of important vaccine because of some kind of
Speaker 1: weird state fetish of fairness, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: instead of just using common sense and getting as many
Speaker 1: doses as we ken out there, Literally thousands and thousands
Speaker 1: of doses have been wasted across the country, probably more
Speaker 1: than we know because hospitals are kind of redicine to
Speaker 1: share this information because they didn't want to look like
Speaker 1: they're wasting uh, you know, vaccine doses. So that's just
Speaker 1: one of the many sort of state impelled ridiculous uh
Speaker 1: you know things that goes on. The CUOMO has a
Speaker 1: million dollars there's a million dollars fine. I think he
Speaker 1: signed this. There's a million dollars fine for for for
Speaker 1: he got he got rid of I mean they got
Speaker 1: rid of it, but initially there was this million dollars fine, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, it's it's ridiculous. I think the best state
Speaker 1: that's done the best is West Virginia, which led Loud
Speaker 1: CBS to hand it out to people. Right. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if that's still the case, but they were definitely
Speaker 1: in the lead for a while. Yeah. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is what I look around that I'm saying, why they've
Speaker 1: micro manage I spoke to a friend of mine who's
Speaker 1: been he's been a very senior, senior infectious disease specialist
Speaker 1: at one of the big hospitals in New York. He's
Speaker 1: been doing this for thirty years. And I just said,
Speaker 1: what's going on, doc, And he said, they're they're just
Speaker 1: micro managing this thing into oblivion. Time is of the
Speaker 1: essence and what everyone's getting right now, David, is a
Speaker 1: lesson and a reminder that when it comes to efficiency
Speaker 1: and speed, the government is your enemy if the government
Speaker 1: is not good at doing things quickly and efficiently. And
Speaker 1: you're seeing that on full display here with and this
Speaker 1: is this the new Biden administration. I know it's only
Speaker 1: in a week two. But I think everyone's starting to realize, oh,
Speaker 1: they don't have some brilliant plan. I mean, they didn't
Speaker 1: even do the math to figure out that when they
Speaker 1: kept saying we're gonna have one hundred million doses after
Speaker 1: the first hundred days, they were on pace for a
Speaker 1: million doses a day before Biden came into office. That
Speaker 1: was the average. It was about a million a day.
Speaker 1: So they we're going to continue with the current pace,
Speaker 1: and they want to pad on the back for this.
Speaker 1: These are the people in charge, David, this is our
Speaker 1: great new era of you know, intelligent, uh, efficacious government.
Speaker 1: It's actually worse than that in a way, because the
Speaker 1: day he said we're going to hit a million, the
Speaker 1: day before there's a Thursday. I believe on Wednesday, we
Speaker 1: had one point six million vaccines go, you know, doses administered.
Speaker 1: They said, he says plan is to slow slow down
Speaker 1: the vaccine uh you know dos. So but it is
Speaker 1: we're even worse than that because he said the other day,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what day it was that we nothing
Speaker 1: we can do about the trajectory of the vaccine. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a direct quote. So I mean
Speaker 1: the trajectory of COVID for the next few months. There's
Speaker 1: nothing we can do about it. His plan during the campaign,
Speaker 1: the COVID Plan, the Biden COVID Plan. The first line
Speaker 1: in it says mentions how the trajectory is terrible and
Speaker 1: only he is the one who can fix it. He does.
Speaker 1: He doesn't say we're going to fix it in a
Speaker 1: few months. He said were immediately. He uses the word
Speaker 1: immediately over and over again, going to hit the ground
Speaker 1: running and change the trajectory of the virus, which is
Speaker 1: something he should never promise because he couldn't do, because
Speaker 1: there's no one who's going to change the trajector in
Speaker 1: this virus, because it's nothing to do in my opinion
Speaker 1: at least. And maybe you disagree with the system we have,
Speaker 1: or you could have places in Europe. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if they're free marketplaces or socialistic places. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if you have a dictator, it doesn't matter if you're
Speaker 1: a president. Virus doesn't care about. Just to be very clear,
Speaker 1: David agree, And I think now we're past the point
Speaker 1: where people can have can be people of good judgment
Speaker 1: and insight on this issue who still believe that, Oh
Speaker 1: Trump was the reason things were so bad in America. Really,
Speaker 1: Amsterdam is in the most severe lockdown it's ever been
Speaker 1: in right now. I mean, the Netherlands is getting crushed
Speaker 1: by this. Belgium had probably the worst numbers of any
Speaker 1: country in Europe, far worse in terms of hospitalizations and
Speaker 1: debts on a per capita basis than America. Is that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's fault? Right? I mean, I think people are
Speaker 1: starting to see the reality of they created a whole
Speaker 1: false narrative around how much better they'd be on COVID
Speaker 1: and it's just not true. Just to be Trump, that's
Speaker 1: just that. But they personally blamed him over and over
Speaker 1: for the deaths of Americans, as if you know, he
Speaker 1: had done something because he wasn't you know, serious enough
Speaker 1: about masks or this or that and what has what
Speaker 1: has this great plan been from the Trump the Biden
Speaker 1: Biden administration. They claimed that they would have a plan,
Speaker 1: a great plan that would stop the trajectory, that would
Speaker 1: help people. And what's his plan to have the same
Speaker 1: amount of vaccine doses administered as Trump was already had,
Speaker 1: or to you know what what was you know, his
Speaker 1: his executive orders like to push governors to have mass
Speaker 1: man these that already exist in most places, or to
Speaker 1: you know, there is no there is no play. His
Speaker 1: plans a Trump plan, it's the same as a plan.
Speaker 1: There is no plan. There's nothing new that they have it.
Speaker 1: They can't even help. They can't even talk about anything
Speaker 1: being new because the moment they do, people point out
Speaker 1: that's already going on, which I think is also now
Speaker 1: affecting a little bit of you know, Saint Fauci, whom
Speaker 1: I really I mean, I find this guy to be
Speaker 1: an odious little jerk. I mean, I think he's and
Speaker 1: I have very specific reasons. The fact that he won't
Speaker 1: come out against outdoor masks as some kind of a
Speaker 1: necessary thing, the fact that he won't come out in
Speaker 1: favor of opening schools. He won't point out that children
Speaker 1: aren't basically no risk and should not have to be
Speaker 1: vaccinated to go to school or for any reason. Fauci
Speaker 1: is like a little Democrat operative. He has been all
Speaker 1: along and now he's gone. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: saw this, he's come out. I've been making I mean,
Speaker 1: not even really jokes, but they're certainly somewhat cynical observations
Speaker 1: that are humorous to some people about how in time,
Speaker 1: and I was saying this last summer, they'll tell you
Speaker 1: that you need two masks, and they'll tell you that
Speaker 1: you need n ninety five masks and that and that. Effectively,
Speaker 1: it's just our fault for not doing that all along.
Speaker 1: Yesterday Fauci said, you really should, you really should consider
Speaker 1: two masks. It's much better than one. That's what we've
Speaker 1: come to now, David. Now now that it's almost February
Speaker 1: and we've got you know, four hundred thousand people dead
Speaker 1: or whatever it's you know, the science really says it's
Speaker 1: a two mask situation. But I saw that. I thought
Speaker 1: of you. Yeah, I'm like, listen, get the hell out
Speaker 1: of here. I can hardly deal with this one mask.
Speaker 1: I just do it as a sort of societal courtesy
Speaker 1: to the people I live near, so they don't feel
Speaker 1: like I'm killing them or something. But the bottom line
Speaker 1: is I am pretty skeptical about the efficacy of a
Speaker 1: mask in general, out you know, out of the world,
Speaker 1: but definitely outside. And and you know, now they want
Speaker 1: me to wear two masks. I mean, this is just insane.
Speaker 1: And just like you said, they're going to say, listen,
Speaker 1: fifty thousand people every year die of the flu. Sho
Speaker 1: wear masks all the time. Now it's the humanizing. There's
Speaker 1: no guarantee of complete safety in a free society. And
Speaker 1: I don't think the federal government has the right or
Speaker 1: even any government to tell me to wear a mask
Speaker 1: outside or in my own home. If the CBS wants
Speaker 1: to ask me to wear a mask, fine, if it
Speaker 1: wants me to wear two masks, I'm going to go
Speaker 1: somewhere else. And but yeah, I mean it's constant mission
Speaker 1: creep with this stuff. And he was I was not
Speaker 1: a fouchy antagonist or you know, fan either way. But
Speaker 1: now I am an antagonist because I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: bothers me the most. He is admitted already now in
Speaker 1: two occasions. I can't think of the second one. But
Speaker 1: but that we that he speaks to us like children,
Speaker 1: that he won't tell us what her immunity needs to
Speaker 1: be because he doesn't want to scare us. We're an
Speaker 1: adults in a free nation. Your job is to relay
Speaker 1: information to us, not to treat us like a parent. Right,
Speaker 1: But yeah, he thinks his job is to be like
Speaker 1: America's parent. It's ridiculous. And he's been wrong about a
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff. So what kind of parent is he? Right? Well,
Speaker 1: I guess he's been regular. I want to tell you something.
Speaker 1: I was talking to my TV producer Nick about this
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, and you know, because I've been
Speaker 1: saying all along, I mean, my theory on this has
Speaker 1: been or my formulation has been the way we just
Speaker 1: sort of wave aside Fauci in March saying the general
Speaker 1: public should not wear masks. It just makes people feel better,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't really help. We wave that aside when
Speaker 1: it's it's treated now as though it would be like
Speaker 1: saying the general public should not take antibiotics, you know,
Speaker 1: if they have a sepsis infection or something, you know,
Speaker 1: like like, it's treated as though this was this is
Speaker 1: a clear, uh you know, it's clear medically obvious thing
Speaker 1: that we should wear masks now. But a year ago
Speaker 1: he was telling us the other thing. I mean, imagine
Speaker 1: if he had said antibiotics don't work, right, and then
Speaker 1: a year later he's like, oh, no, of course antibiotics work.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Well, I mean, is that really we're supposed
Speaker 1: to believe? Because he said at the time that masks
Speaker 1: should not be worn by the general public, and then
Speaker 1: he claimed that he was lying to us. So he's
Speaker 1: admitted that he's this is his defense. I'm just this
Speaker 1: is what he says in interviews now that he didn't
Speaker 1: want there to be a shortage of masks, so he
Speaker 1: intentionally misled the public. But here's the point that my
Speaker 1: producer point brought up to me. I think this is brilliant.
Speaker 1: If that was true, why didn't anyone, David, why didn't
Speaker 1: the rest of the medical community. If Fauci was lying
Speaker 1: for our benefit, why didn't anyone say, well, that's not true,
Speaker 1: we should be wearing masks. Why wasn't he called out
Speaker 1: right when it happened. Either either he was wrong, and
Speaker 1: why I could costs lives using their own set of
Speaker 1: standards and their own science. Supposedly he cost a bunch
Speaker 1: of lives by saying that because people were wearing masks,
Speaker 1: or he lied to the American people, So then he's
Speaker 1: a liar, right, But more than that, even if there
Speaker 1: wasn't initially there was somewhat of a mask shortage, but
Speaker 1: you could make your own masks at home, right, people
Speaker 1: made their own masks. I'd have met homemade masks. My
Speaker 1: daughter made. It is not like people couldn't have gotten
Speaker 1: their own masks. He you know, so you using you know,
Speaker 1: either he's cost lots of lives, which Donald Trump was
Speaker 1: always being like hit for being too having too rosy
Speaker 1: an assessment of the future and that he had cost lives,
Speaker 1: or that he wasn't wearing a mask, or then Fauci
Speaker 1: is under the same shooting, under the same standards, but
Speaker 1: he's not treated you know, he's treated as the same
Speaker 1: as you know, saying the same who represents the science
Speaker 1: to us? But yeah, he lies to us. There's two
Speaker 1: examples right there. If he lied about herd immunity numbers,
Speaker 1: like he said it's been like sixty five percent, but
Speaker 1: actually now it's ninety five and he lied about masks.
Speaker 1: Drive it drives me up the wall. I don't understand
Speaker 1: why peopre so let him do that, and no one
Speaker 1: that can be critical in the in the media of
Speaker 1: him at least for lying about the things that they
Speaker 1: supposedly care about, like masks. Yeah, and I also I
Speaker 1: keep point out to people, why is it I don't
Speaker 1: I'm not an MD, I don't have a I'm not
Speaker 1: some epidemiologist. Why am I able to predict. I mean,
Speaker 1: I said in December, just wait, you'll see N ninety
Speaker 1: five mask mandates by mid January. Sure enough, in Germany
Speaker 1: they're n ninety five mask mandates going into effect. Now
Speaker 1: why because what they have is not working? Well? Gee,
Speaker 1: I wonder why, you know, how can you see anyse
Speaker 1: stuff coming? Before we let you go, David, I have
Speaker 1: to ask you because I want I'm gonna be talking
Speaker 1: more about this, uh, you know, going forward, this executive
Speaker 1: order on transgender athletes. I mean, Tucker Carlson on his
Speaker 1: show last night had a pretty amazing statistic that there
Speaker 1: are three hundred high school males in America right now
Speaker 1: who have official listed times that are faster for the
Speaker 1: four hundred meter than the fastest female else sprinter in
Speaker 1: the world. I believe in the fastest female sprinter who
Speaker 1: has ever lived. But now we're going to let biological
Speaker 1: males compete against biological women. That's what democrats think is fair. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I this is never a big topic with me, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But here's a thing. I do
Speaker 1: believe in science, and I do believe in what I know,
Speaker 1: common sense, what I see, and I think that when
Speaker 1: you have folks who you know, have I want to say,
Speaker 1: you know, listen, when you have people who believe that
Speaker 1: that there are women even though they're biologically men, that's
Speaker 1: fine with me. Go on with your life. But once
Speaker 1: you are now telling me that that boy has to
Speaker 1: be in my daughter's locker room in high school and
Speaker 1: is competing in undermining kids in my local high school
Speaker 1: and is making them uncomfortable in my local high school
Speaker 1: for reasons that shouldn't you know, be, then that's a
Speaker 1: big problem for me. And that's exactly what this is.
Speaker 1: And with unilaterally by the president as if you were
Speaker 1: a king, not allowing local communities to deal with this themselves.
Speaker 1: I think all those things are very troubling. I don't
Speaker 1: want to belittle people who I think. I'm sorry, I think,
Speaker 1: have you know, some kind of innocuous mental problem, But
Speaker 1: it is a problem when you forced me to play
Speaker 1: along with that kind of yeah, and it just it
Speaker 1: just becomes devisive to go after this, I mean politically, David,
Speaker 1: to go after this day one's right away. No discussion.
Speaker 1: He's done has been left wing stuff, right, I mean
Speaker 1: cultural left wing stuff. Most of it has been He's
Speaker 1: going to govern like a far left winger Overton Windows
Speaker 1: moved over because you have some insane people in Congress,
Speaker 1: like Acascio Quartez. But in the reality, in the real world,
Speaker 1: Biden is as far left to president as we probably
Speaker 1: ever have, certainly on cultural issues. There's nothing that's come close,
Speaker 1: so we shouldn't pretend. And he's doing it all. I
Speaker 1: think he's had nineteen twenty executive orders already. I think
Speaker 1: Trump had five, and he was like king, you know
Speaker 1: he was. He was an addict, right, And these aren't
Speaker 1: just executive orders to like name a bridge. These are
Speaker 1: executive policy, change policies. He's doing policy by the pen,
Speaker 1: and this is all we're seeing here. Everyone go check
Speaker 1: out David Arsani's latest, especially on this vaccine story he's
Speaker 1: writing at National Review dot com. David, always appreciate your time, man.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Buck. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart
Speaker 1: Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Our team
Speaker 1: is working right now. We've been here for five days
Speaker 1: to evaluate the supply so that we can release the
Speaker 1: maximum amount while also ensuring that everyone can get the
Speaker 1: second dose on the fday recommended schedule. So the confusion
Speaker 1: around this issue, which we acknowledge there is some confusion,
Speaker 1: is speaks to a larger problem, which is what we're
Speaker 1: inheriting from the prior administration, which is much worse than
Speaker 1: we could have imagined. So we are assessing now what
Speaker 1: we have access to and ensuring that we have more
Speaker 1: of a rapid engagement with states so that they have
Speaker 1: more of a heads up on what's to expect in
Speaker 1: the weeks ahead. It is blame Trump. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: the game. You know. Notice how it was the Obama
Speaker 1: economy when Trump was doing really well, But it's the
Speaker 1: Trump vaccine plan now that they realize that they don't
Speaker 1: have someone. Whatever they have to say is what they're
Speaker 1: gonna say, you know. So they'll take credit for it
Speaker 1: into the next administration if it's good. But if it's
Speaker 1: not going as well, even when they're in charge, it's
Speaker 1: the previous person's faults, you know. That's that's the way
Speaker 1: this goes. They're just making it all up as they
Speaker 1: go along. Make sure you got to Bucksexton dot com.
Speaker 1: I've got an editorial up there today about this impeachment situation.
Speaker 1: What the political dynamics are why this is a disaster
Speaker 1: if the GOP, if anyone of the GOP really goes
Speaker 1: along with it, and what I think this is going
Speaker 1: to be long term for Trump and all things MAGA.
Speaker 1: So that's at bucksexton dot com. You're in the freedom hunt.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the buck Sexton Podcast. To get
Speaker 1: the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. I'm wait, wait,
Speaker 1: wait wait. I know he always asked me tough questions
Speaker 1: and he always has an edge to them, but I
Speaker 1: like him anyway, So go ahead and ask as to
Speaker 1: ask the question. Thank you, President. So we just said it.
Speaker 1: You think within three weeks or so, we'll be at
Speaker 1: the point where there are a million vaccines per day,
Speaker 1: But it seems like now I think we'll get there
Speaker 1: before that. I said, I hope, I misspoke. I hope
Speaker 1: we'll be able to increase as we go around until
Speaker 1: we get to the million five a day. That's my hope.
Speaker 1: And then, like the follow up to that would be,
Speaker 1: now that you're a president and you're saying there's nothing
Speaker 1: we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic
Speaker 1: in the next several months, what happened to two months
Speaker 1: ago when you were talking declaratively about I am going
Speaker 1: to shut down the virus. Well, I'm going to shut
Speaker 1: down the virus, but not I never said I'd do
Speaker 1: it in two months. I said it took a long
Speaker 1: time to get here, It's gonna take a long time
Speaker 1: to beat it. And so we have millions of people
Speaker 1: out there who are who have the virus. What a fraud.
Speaker 1: Let's all be very clear about this. What a giant
Speaker 1: bowl of bull courtesy of Joe Biden. Oh you know,
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna shut down the virus in a day.
Speaker 1: It was gonna take me. Hell, it's gonna be many months, many,
Speaker 1: many months. You know, by next summer, we might be
Speaker 1: They were all on a trajectory already, everything that we're
Speaker 1: seeing showing a trajectory that the virus was going to
Speaker 1: be in a much better place by the summer, Vaccination
Speaker 1: rates would be pretty high by the summer, and that
Speaker 1: we would be past the worst of the pandemic. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's before Joe Biden did a darn thing. But now
Speaker 1: what we're seeing is that the guy was just full
Speaker 1: of it. He was overpromising, and now he's about to
Speaker 1: under deliver. And so what he's doing, is he's changing it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I's gonna shut down the virus and you know in
Speaker 1: a in six months, and yeah, that's what I was
Speaker 1: gonna do. Well, that's what everybody would do in your
Speaker 1: I mean, well, what exactly is he bringing to the
Speaker 1: table here that's any different from what any administration would
Speaker 1: be able to do given what they were handed by
Speaker 1: the Trump administration before them. Oh, you know the virus.
Speaker 1: You know here, I am, you know, unbelievable. Remember, I
Speaker 1: won't shut down the economy, I'll shut down the virus.
Speaker 1: That was the phrase. That was what he was saying.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is classic Joe Biden kind
Speaker 1: of loudmouth, just garbage. But that unfortunately people if they
Speaker 1: hear and enough you know, low, low to medium information
Speaker 1: voters are gonna go, okay, well that sounds good. And
Speaker 1: you know that's that's what all it took. It's astonishing
Speaker 1: how quickly that whole Oh Joe Biden's gonna make COVID.
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna have this radically different COVID policy
Speaker 1: and it's all we're all gonna be so much better off.
Speaker 1: Astonishing quickly that all fell away, just a big pile
Speaker 1: allies and and creditor Peter Doocey here, who gets a
Speaker 1: really hard time from other journalists because you know, he's
Speaker 1: he's now in a position where he's gonna be the
Speaker 1: only person on many days in the White House actually
Speaker 1: engaged in the practice of journalism, asking questions that need
Speaker 1: to be asked that the people in power don't necessarily
Speaker 1: want to answer, or that require further clarity from the
Speaker 1: people in power, whereas everybody else is going to be
Speaker 1: what's it like for Joe Biden to just be so amazing?
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, what's going on with how Joe Biden's just
Speaker 1: so fantastic? That's journalism now for the next four years,
Speaker 1: it's it's embarrassing, But that's who these people are, That's
Speaker 1: what they're all about. That's what their audience is gonna
Speaker 1: want to see. Although they're gonna have to come up
Speaker 1: with something more interesting because while you know, they acted
Speaker 1: like Orange Man Bad was the end of the country
Speaker 1: and it was going to result in all these terrible
Speaker 1: stuff at what we're actually seeing is that they kind
Speaker 1: of need Orange Man to drive ratings. They're going to
Speaker 1: need something here because no one's going to be particularly
Speaker 1: excited about a Biden administration, that's for sure. So something
Speaker 1: else that we should be talking about and thinking about,
Speaker 1: I think, is what the media is going to be
Speaker 1: pivoting to, how they're going to be how they're going
Speaker 1: to be presenting this going forward. You know, a perfect
Speaker 1: example I should note is that we were hearing about
Speaker 1: Trump as a dictator all the time, and yet Biden
Speaker 1: comes into office and blows all presidencies before him out
Speaker 1: of the water with the unilateral stuff he's willing to
Speaker 1: do on day one, right off the bat. And and
Speaker 1: you know, you have Senator Blackburne who's saying, why is
Speaker 1: that okay? Play nine for me. This isn't about politics,
Speaker 1: It's about the policies this new administration has decided to
Speaker 1: unilaterally say yes to without consulting Congress, without including the
Speaker 1: people in the discussion. And just so we're all aware,
Speaker 1: President Biden said yes to more unilateral policy changes on
Speaker 1: day one than any president in our nation's history, more
Speaker 1: than any president in our nation's history. But of course
Speaker 1: that's all okay, that's all okay according to the media,
Speaker 1: according to the Democrats, because they say so, I mean,
Speaker 1: they're not even really in a position to make real
Speaker 1: arguments about any of this. They're not even going to
Speaker 1: tell you why things are different now other than Joe
Speaker 1: Biden good Trump bad. They can try to throw some
Speaker 1: other words around that, they can dress that up a
Speaker 1: little bit, but that's at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: that's the reality of what we're going to be seeing,
Speaker 1: what we're going to be up against. And that then
Speaker 1: brings me to this filibuster situation, because the filibuster is
Speaker 1: if you're somebody who believes in the institutions of government, right,
Speaker 1: if you believe in in the Senate as a place
Speaker 1: to cool the passions of the House. Whatever that old
Speaker 1: phrase is about it, but it's something like that. If
Speaker 1: you think that the Senate should have in place some
Speaker 1: traditions that protect the minority from just majoritarian rule within
Speaker 1: the Senate for a long time, then you should be
Speaker 1: in favor of the continuation of the filibuster. And just
Speaker 1: for a quick history lesson here, Remember who used the
Speaker 1: nuclear option the first time around. It was in fact Democrats.
Speaker 1: They did it over judicial nominees, and they did it
Speaker 1: while Republicans this was Harry Reid's gambit under Obama. They
Speaker 1: did it while Republicans were saying, you're not going to
Speaker 1: like where this goes when power changes hands. And sure enough,
Speaker 1: as you have Amy Coney, Barrett and Brett Cavanaugh and
Speaker 1: lots of f judges all across the judiciary, Democrats have
Speaker 1: had to learn a very tough lesson on that one.
Speaker 1: But they haven't even really learned a lesson because now
Speaker 1: they're deciding, well, we're back in power, so let's just
Speaker 1: do the same thing we did before and hope that
Speaker 1: we never have to deal with the consequences of that one.
Speaker 1: And that's I think a troubling situation that we're going
Speaker 1: to see now that Democrats precedent and history will be
Speaker 1: forgotten or abused in the public discourse so the Democrats
Speaker 1: can get what do they want. Mazie Herono, Mazie Herono,
Speaker 1: who I've said to you, and I don't say this
Speaker 1: to be mean. I think there's just a she may
Speaker 1: be the dumbest person in the United States Congress. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: And if you've ever heard her talking about anything, you'd say,
Speaker 1: I cannot believe that this person is a United States Senator,
Speaker 1: But she is. And I always say there's about about Hawaii.
Speaker 1: I love so much about Hawaii. I don't know why
Speaker 1: it has to have such bad politics. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a big military community there. Can't we can't we get
Speaker 1: some slightly less looney candidate. I mean, Tulsie Gabber's a
Speaker 1: congressman from Ohio, from Hawaiian, not Ohio. And you know
Speaker 1: she has she has her her pluses, so to be fair,
Speaker 1: but Maizie Harrono is already setting out the narrative. You
Speaker 1: could say, Oh, but Buck, this is so dumb. Who's
Speaker 1: gonna know that they're gonna say stuff like this That
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell using the filibuster to block Democrats from things
Speaker 1: is obstructionists play twenty. If Mitch McConnell uses a sixty
Speaker 1: volve requirement to be the kind of obstructionists that he's
Speaker 1: been for the last so many years, then I think
Speaker 1: we are going to need to revisit because we are
Speaker 1: in the middle of a pandemic, We're in the middle
Speaker 1: of an economic crisis. We need to get things done.
Speaker 1: And if Mitch McConnell's purpose is to make sure that
Speaker 1: President Biden's agenda and priorities will go aware, then we
Speaker 1: are going to need to revisit this the filibuster issue.
Speaker 1: He can't use sixty votes to block every good thing
Speaker 1: that they Democrats want to bring forward to or vote
Speaker 1: in the in the Senate. Steamrollerm get ready for it.
Speaker 1: And when Democrats bust out the steamroller, remember that it's
Speaker 1: for it's for Republicans own good. This isn't an issue.
Speaker 1: This isn't an issue where we get to there's there's
Speaker 1: not two sides to this one. It's it's for Republicans
Speaker 1: own good that this has to happen. Um, I don't
Speaker 1: know about that one. I'm gonna well, I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna throw a flag on that one. I think it's
Speaker 1: pretty clear that the Democrats are just power hungry and
Speaker 1: or rather rather power mad now. And so whatever they
Speaker 1: whatever they want to do, they'll find a way to
Speaker 1: try to try to justify this um and and everything
Speaker 1: will also be justified behind this backdrop of well, look
Speaker 1: what Trump did Orange Man so bad that anything we
Speaker 1: do now is not as bad. And if you want
Speaker 1: a low level, low IQ analysis of our political scene
Speaker 1: in the country right now from an elected official, you
Speaker 1: really can't do much better than Swallwell, the spy who
Speaker 1: shagged me and this is what he has to say.
Speaker 1: Play eleven. It's constitutional. The Senate is steeped in tradition
Speaker 1: and custom, and I think it would be persuasive to
Speaker 1: them that they have actually done this before, they've held
Speaker 1: a trial for somebody who was no longer in office.
Speaker 1: And I think it's because the Constitution says that the
Speaker 1: Secretary of War, that's right, Secretary of War Bellmap. We'll
Speaker 1: all hear that name more than we probably want. But
Speaker 1: it's because the founders put as one of the penalties
Speaker 1: disqualification from office. And because Donald Trump, we know will
Speaker 1: do this again, has such a disdain for democracy and
Speaker 1: a disdain for public safety. We can't afford as a
Speaker 1: country to give him a chance to even come close
Speaker 1: to doing this again. Justifying the the ridiculous impeachment proceeding
Speaker 1: that's going on now, Yes, there was a Secretary Defense,
Speaker 1: to be clear, if we look at our history, there
Speaker 1: was a Secretary Defense who was impeached after after he
Speaker 1: was out of office. But this is a president, this
Speaker 1: is not a secretary of Defense. And there are there
Speaker 1: are additional considerations for the country that one should take
Speaker 1: into account here. This impeachment is well, let's let's talk
Speaker 1: more about it. And this is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Join the conversation and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or
Speaker 1: email Team bucket iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it
Speaker 1: on the show. Newly empowered Democrats have spent a lot
Speaker 1: of time dulling America that this is a time for unity.
Speaker 1: This appears strange even a casual observer of politics, because
Speaker 1: they're also insisting the best way to bring the country
Speaker 1: together is through a second impeachment of Donald Trump, even
Speaker 1: though he's no longer the president of the United States.
Speaker 1: That's right. If you thought the era of Trump domination
Speaker 1: of the headlines was over, think again. The sole article
Speaker 1: of impeachment against the former president has been transmitted from
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives. Starting in February, there's going to
Speaker 1: be a Senate trial of Donald John Trump, former President
Speaker 1: of the United States, on one charge of incitement to insurrection.
Speaker 1: Remember what Chuck Schumer said last week, We all want
Speaker 1: to put this awful chapter behind us. Healing and unity
Speaker 1: will only come if there's truth and accountability, and that's
Speaker 1: what this trial will provide. I mean, because yeah, right,
Speaker 1: what could make the seventy five million Americans who voted
Speaker 1: for Trump feel better than a vindictive post presidency punishment phase.
Speaker 1: Unity through division appears to be the order of the day.
Speaker 1: There's no benefit from this if Schumer the Democrats really
Speaker 1: wanted to heal the country. But it does serve some
Speaker 1: obvious goals. Let's look at some of those. I mean immediately,
Speaker 1: it will placate or energize a large portion of the
Speaker 1: Democrat base that continues to suffer from Trump derangement syndrome.
Speaker 1: Orange Man is still bad, as the saying goes, even
Speaker 1: when he's no longer the leader of the free world.
Speaker 1: They want him punished and humiliated along with all his voters.
Speaker 1: The corporate media at places like CNN and The New
Speaker 1: York Times are certainly cheering on impeachment two point zero.
Speaker 1: They took Trump's Twitter and press conference jabs very personally
Speaker 1: over the years, and they will neither forgive nor forget.
Speaker 1: Best interests of the country be damned. They also got
Speaker 1: a vested interest in weaning their audiences off the steady
Speaker 1: diet of Trump the Fascist over time, because it would
Speaker 1: be bad for business if suddenly the virtue signaling masses
Speaker 1: of the urban coasts no longer had their favorite villain
Speaker 1: to hate. Politically, the second trial of Trump is a
Speaker 1: win win for Democrats, as you can obviously see, let's
Speaker 1: go through this. At a minimum, it will expose some
Speaker 1: of the establishment GOP versus MAGA fractures that the Capitol
Speaker 1: Hill riot on January sixth blasted apart. The Democrats need
Speaker 1: seventeen GOP senators to go along, which seems an unlikely number,
Speaker 1: but Senator Mitt Romney already seems to be a vote
Speaker 1: for conviction. There could be several others like Rob Portman
Speaker 1: of Ohio, who's just announced he's not running for reelection,
Speaker 1: or Susan Collins of Maine. Even if the final Senate
Speaker 1: trial vote fails to meet the two thirds majority, it
Speaker 1: will probably have some bipartisan coalition for conviction. The brand
Speaker 1: damage to Trump from this could well be worth it
Speaker 1: for the Democrats first president in history to be convicted
Speaker 1: by the Senate. That's the headline that would go down.
Speaker 1: That's what everybody would be hearing. And add to that
Speaker 1: the fact that you'd have the disgust of the Trump
Speaker 1: base with the GOP apparatus, and the fact that it
Speaker 1: was unwilling to defend a former president from this kind
Speaker 1: of vindictiveness, and that could imperil any chance of taking
Speaker 1: back control of Congress in twenty twenty two. And there
Speaker 1: could be major impacts of this second impeachment effort against
Speaker 1: Trump over the long term. There's the long shot possibility,
Speaker 1: unlikely as it may seem, the Democrats. The Democrats do
Speaker 1: manage to squeeze out seventeen GOP centered votes, as Trump
Speaker 1: is no longer an off as he can't be removed
Speaker 1: from it. He can, however, be barred from holding office
Speaker 1: in the future. If Democrats achieve this, they'll have used
Speaker 1: a constitutionally prescribed process to not only repudiate Trump, but
Speaker 1: to kick him to the political sidelines once and for all.
Speaker 1: One thing we do know for sure, Trump doesn't back
Speaker 1: down from a fight, especially when the odds are against him.
Speaker 1: He's already set out the office of the former president
Speaker 1: from Florida. Rumors are swirling that his children will run
Speaker 1: for a range of offices in the years ahead. This
Speaker 1: Senate trial is supposed to be the coup de grass
Speaker 1: for MAGA, but it could end up mobilizing Trump World
Speaker 1: in ways that a quiet post presidency in Mara Lago
Speaker 1: never could. And that, my friends, is how I see
Speaker 1: this playing out. Democrats could well get some very real
Speaker 1: short term political benefit out of all of this. But
Speaker 1: what will it mean for the future, not just of
Speaker 1: the GOP, but of politics in America more generally? Will
Speaker 1: there be a third party that will form as a
Speaker 1: result of this? Will Trump go off a former Patriot
Speaker 1: party if there is a conviction of him. Will the
Speaker 1: backlash against the desire that the Democrats have to continue
Speaker 1: to punish Trump even when he's left office be so forceful,
Speaker 1: be so powerful that the Democrats will wish they had
Speaker 1: never gone down this pathway. We will have to see
Speaker 1: in time. But the laws of unintended consequences certainly apply here.
Speaker 1: This is the Fuck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram,
Speaker 1: and Twitter. What's gonna happen with this impeachment situation? We've
Speaker 1: got our friend ned Ryan with us now. He is
Speaker 1: the founder of American Majority and he knows the political
Speaker 1: scene inside and out. Ned. Great to have you back. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: good to be back with you, Buck, But yeah, interesting
Speaker 1: times we live on living that you want to have
Speaker 1: an impeachment trial for a president that is no longer
Speaker 1: in office. But Buck, I'm of the opinion let's have
Speaker 1: the trial. I think we should have the trial because
Speaker 1: I think when the facts come out to the American people,
Speaker 1: they're going to realize the evidence doesn't back up in
Speaker 1: any way the second impeachment trial. Of course, neither impeachment
Speaker 1: trial had anything Peachman had anything to do with facts.
Speaker 1: But I think this would be I want this to happen.
Speaker 1: I want the American people to actually see the timelines
Speaker 1: and understand what took place, and that the Democrats, again,
Speaker 1: they fabricate these things out of whole cost. So facts
Speaker 1: to them are you know, sometimes convenient, sometimes inconvenient. But
Speaker 1: let's have the trial. What do you Let's just so
Speaker 1: tell everybody this and end. What do you think would
Speaker 1: come out at Trump? Because right now you are hearing
Speaker 1: and we'll get into this. Some Republicans were even saying, oh, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: we should do this, and we'll get to the false
Speaker 1: unity narrative in a second here. But but you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I always have a laugh about it.
Speaker 1: So absurd, But tell me this. You know, what do
Speaker 1: you think if if the evidence was presented as you say,
Speaker 1: and if we go forward and you seem kind of
Speaker 1: gung ho about this whole thing. What will come out?
Speaker 1: What will the American people see? Oh, I think they'll
Speaker 1: see that the timelines don't add up at all, you know,
Speaker 1: the whole the main arguments, again, a false argument of
Speaker 1: the Democrats, was that somehow President Trump incited. First of all,
Speaker 1: the language is being used by the Democrats and media's
Speaker 1: wildly your sponsible right insurrection seditious. Basically, Trump and his
Speaker 1: supporters are on the level of domestic terrorism, all based
Speaker 1: off a false premise that somehow Trump incided what took
Speaker 1: place on January sixth, and you actually look at the timeline,
Speaker 1: none of it matches up. Right. President Trump is speaking,
Speaker 1: people are already breaching the Capitol before he's even done,
Speaker 1: long before he's done. So this is some of the
Speaker 1: stuff I want to come out because the whole premise
Speaker 1: of somehow that Donald Trump and a supporters are domestic
Speaker 1: terrors based off incitement, has nothing to do with the
Speaker 1: actual truth of the matter. And that's where I want
Speaker 1: to come out. And I think that's what will come
Speaker 1: out if they're actually serious about doing a trial. As
Speaker 1: to the fact of what some Republicans are going to
Speaker 1: do in the Senate, well, I hope that anybody that
Speaker 1: feels like self identifying for a primary challenge in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two and twenty twenty four will feel free to
Speaker 1: actually vote for again. This is the weird part buck
Speaker 1: removal for a president that is no longer in office.
Speaker 1: But knock yourselves out people. What do you think they're
Speaker 1: trying to achieve with this? On the Republican side, I mean,
Speaker 1: we'll get the Democrats at the second. On the Republican
Speaker 1: side of that, you got mid Romney, you got you know,
Speaker 1: kin Zingers in the House. I mean, but there are
Speaker 1: a few Republicans. Portman seems to be teeing up a
Speaker 1: possible conviction vote. What is motivating those goop folks you know,
Speaker 1: who are clearly preparing to go along with the Democrats
Speaker 1: in this farcical post presidency removal? And I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the whole the whole argument on well, the
Speaker 1: whole premise for them is to say we are going
Speaker 1: to I think it was miss McConnell exercise ourselves of
Speaker 1: this whole Trump America First movement and and get it
Speaker 1: outside of the Republican Party, which is such a monumental mistake.
Speaker 1: I don't even know where to begin. I mean, the
Speaker 1: stupidity is unbelievable, but really is that. I always thought
Speaker 1: the struggle buck even if Trump had won, over the
Speaker 1: next four years, was going to be inside the Republican
Speaker 1: Party between the globalist corporates establishment versus America First. Right,
Speaker 1: what is the Republican Party going to be in the
Speaker 1: few And they have deeply resented, I mean being in
Speaker 1: DC watching some of the stuff behind the scenes, they
Speaker 1: have always deeply resented the great outsider coming in and
Speaker 1: actually talking about America First and being in defiance of
Speaker 1: kind of some of the Republican establishment orthodoxy. You know,
Speaker 1: we're not going to get involved in foreign wars. No,
Speaker 1: we're not. We're going to try and benefit the American
Speaker 1: worker and the American taxpayer on trade issues. They have
Speaker 1: been waiting for years to take their shot at this,
Speaker 1: and they want to. They think that somehow there won't
Speaker 1: be consequences for driving out the base, which, oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, I would remind people there's a reason Trump
Speaker 1: had ninety five approval rating inside the Republican Party. He's
Speaker 1: a very popular president inside the party. These people are
Speaker 1: total fools for thinking somehow they can go down this
Speaker 1: path and punish Trump and the other part of a
Speaker 1: two book. They think that somehow, if they convict him
Speaker 1: again whatever that means constitutionally, that somehow they're going to
Speaker 1: dissuade him from even thinking about running again in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. Shocker, it's not going to dissuade him if
Speaker 1: he actually decides to run again. Well, explain how that
Speaker 1: plays out ned in your analysis. Well, again, they feel
Speaker 1: free to convict him. I have no idea what this actually.
Speaker 1: The first of all, I don't think they're going to
Speaker 1: get seventeen Republican votes between you, me and the Listener's book.
Speaker 1: I don't think that seventeen Republicans are going to go
Speaker 1: out of their way and say I'm going to have
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna basically sign up for a primary
Speaker 1: challenge next time I'm on the ballot. Do I think
Speaker 1: he'll give five, six, seven? Of course, we all know
Speaker 1: their names too, right, Romney, Murkowski, Collins, maybe Portman, maybe
Speaker 1: a few others. I don't think you're gonna get to seventeen.
Speaker 1: So I think the whole idea of convicting him in
Speaker 1: a Senate trial is probably not going to happen. But
Speaker 1: that all to say, I just I think this really
Speaker 1: is this is punishment. How dare you have challenged us?
Speaker 1: How dare you have come in and turned everything on
Speaker 1: its head, and we're going to try and dissuade you
Speaker 1: from ever running it. I mean, it's a fool darrance.
Speaker 1: They're not going to dissuade Trump from running again if
Speaker 1: he decides that's what he wants to do. And I
Speaker 1: think really the telling part will be what he decides
Speaker 1: to do in twenty twenty two and has involved in
Speaker 1: himself in primaries, fundraising, you know, funding opponents, some of
Speaker 1: these guys, doing rallies. And if he does that and
Speaker 1: is very successful, he's primbing himself for a twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four run. So you think the president at this stage,
Speaker 1: assuming they aren't able to block him by getting those
Speaker 1: seventeen Republican votes, you believe President Trumps he's going to
Speaker 1: be in it to win it again. I think based
Speaker 1: off some of the chatter I'm hearing, I think there's
Speaker 1: a better than fifty fifty chance that he decided he's
Speaker 1: going to do it again. But he got to do
Speaker 1: the right things. Book, I gotta tell you. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I've had this conversation about personnel. If Trump's
Speaker 1: going to do it again, he's got to have a
Speaker 1: totally different approach on personnel. He's got to go and
Speaker 1: do a couple different things. But yeah, ninety five percent
Speaker 1: approval rating inside the Republican Party. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Of course? But tell us, I mean, let's let's get
Speaker 1: it out there. What should be different on the personnel side. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, I mean, I have to tell you
Speaker 1: that the PPO was a disaster offsite. Presidential personnel inside
Speaker 1: of White House was a disaster until the last year,
Speaker 1: until he brought in Johnny mcintee, who really started to
Speaker 1: turn around put people into various positions in the various
Speaker 1: departments that are actually on the same page as Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: So the first three years were kind of a disaster.
Speaker 1: But also in the party. I mean, this is one
Speaker 1: of the things too that I think he could have
Speaker 1: really changed the R and C after the twenty eighteen
Speaker 1: mid terms and said I'm going to put an America
Speaker 1: first person in charge of the R and C. I'm
Speaker 1: going to make the party a creation of my own creation.
Speaker 1: So that was another mistake, and I have to tell
Speaker 1: you this too. I mean, there's no bones about it.
Speaker 1: That Jared Kushner kind of had Dayton during the election
Speaker 1: last year because we're like, we've got to get Trump reelected.
Speaker 1: He cannot have Jared Kushner and Oblonka, who are not
Speaker 1: the most conservative people. And I'm saying that very politely.
Speaker 1: Isn't a bit of an understatement advising him on domestic
Speaker 1: policy issues. Kudos for Jared for actually doing really great
Speaker 1: things in the Middle East peace process, but on the
Speaker 1: domestic front, on personal front, advising he's got to move
Speaker 1: past that. Trump has to move past having Jared having
Speaker 1: so many portfolios and so much influence. If there's going
Speaker 1: to be any future run for office and potentially another
Speaker 1: occupation of the White House, do you think that you
Speaker 1: might have the turn of some of the of some
Speaker 1: of the America America First folks that Trump had in
Speaker 1: the early days and then left, if you were to
Speaker 1: come back, I mean, who who's the who's really the
Speaker 1: Trump dream team on the advisory side, who do we want?
Speaker 1: Who would you want to have? Telling a future candidate Trump,
Speaker 1: pretty amazing to think about right now what he should
Speaker 1: because you know, there it seemed like there was nobody
Speaker 1: post election this time around to keep him on the rails.
Speaker 1: It felt like there was nobody who could tell the president,
Speaker 1: hold on, let's direct your Trumpian impulses in constructive ways
Speaker 1: and let's not be self defeating here. There could have
Speaker 1: been some of us. I mean, there's Steve Cortez, who
Speaker 1: I hope some of your listeners are familiar with stevens.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we have him on this show regularly. Sure,
Speaker 1: go ahead. Obviously, great communicator, great strategist. Myself. There are
Speaker 1: others who actually are firmly committed to America first that
Speaker 1: should be brought into actually on a more regular basis,
Speaker 1: not that we don't talk to him, but on a
Speaker 1: more regular basis, sir, this is what you should focus on.
Speaker 1: Here's some good personal decisions. Avoid disavoid that. So there
Speaker 1: are people out here, right, I've been in DC twenty
Speaker 1: plus years now. I'm an outsider with an insider's perspective
Speaker 1: and knowing where a lot of the bodies are buried,
Speaker 1: by the way, like how this whole thing works. So
Speaker 1: there are people out there that want to be of
Speaker 1: help and want to be part of an advisory moving forward.
Speaker 1: But you know, obviously some of these things comes down
Speaker 1: to him. What does he actually want to do moving
Speaker 1: forward and does he want to make those changes? And
Speaker 1: we'll have to see. Speaking of Ned Ryan, he is
Speaker 1: a founder of American Majority and Ned speaking about getting
Speaker 1: to a majority and going into these mid terms. Look,
Speaker 1: I know we've got a lot a lot of runway
Speaker 1: here where we still are going to figure out what
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, you know, where we got to look
Speaker 1: at their record, what they do. They're already showing us
Speaker 1: the kindness that they're going to try to do. I
Speaker 1: mean they haven't waited for sure, but you know, two
Speaker 1: years is an eternity in politics. But do we have
Speaker 1: does there need to be a full accounting within the
Speaker 1: GOP of what went wrong the last time around before
Speaker 1: we can do better in twenty twenty two? Or is
Speaker 1: the GOP infrastructure pretty solid as it stands right now
Speaker 1: as long as we pick good candidates. But what do
Speaker 1: you you know, how are we positioning ourselves so that
Speaker 1: we don't have Democrats in control of the House, the Senate,
Speaker 1: and the presidency in two years. Well, you know, to
Speaker 1: be fair to the RNC and to some of the
Speaker 1: party apparatus, they did an excellent job on voter registration,
Speaker 1: get out to vote. Some of that party machinery was
Speaker 1: done really well. Where they fell down, where they completely
Speaker 1: utterly failed is on the litigation front. They were warned
Speaker 1: after the twenty eighteen elections, Mark Elis and the Democrats
Speaker 1: are on the move. Here's what they're going to try
Speaker 1: and do between now and twenty twenty. They did nothing,
Speaker 1: And I think what has to I mean that the priority,
Speaker 1: and I think even for Trump, and he's already talking
Speaker 1: about some of this electoral integrity, you gotta go back.
Speaker 1: I just wrote a piece today that American Greatness book
Speaker 1: about some of what Zuckerberg Center for Tech and Civic
Speaker 1: Life did. People need to be aware of what happened,
Speaker 1: what actually happened, not crazy conspiracy theories, but what actually
Speaker 1: happen on the ground, and realize we need to spend
Speaker 1: the next eighteen months making sure that some of this
Speaker 1: stuff never happens again, whether it's universal mail in ballots,
Speaker 1: whether it's Zuckerberg Center for Tech and Civic Life. And
Speaker 1: so there's some people, myself included, who are already having
Speaker 1: conversations with various state legislators. You've got to tighten up
Speaker 1: observer statutes, you've got to change policy. There should be
Speaker 1: offensive litigation. You've got to change the playing field before
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two elections. And then there's other parts
Speaker 1: of the machinery that are actually in pretty good shape.
Speaker 1: If we can figure out how to level that playing
Speaker 1: field again, I think twenty twenty two could be a
Speaker 1: really good midterm for Republicans if we do a good
Speaker 1: job too on identifying good, solid conservative candidates and quite frankly,
Speaker 1: some really good primary challengers for all the House members
Speaker 1: that voted for impeachment. Tell me this, it's actually bullis
Speaker 1: on it net. Tell me this. You mentioned the Tech
Speaker 1: and Civic you know, the Mark Zuckerberg Project. A lot
Speaker 1: of folks probably have heard nothing about this, and I
Speaker 1: know you're you know, tell everybody assume that people listening
Speaker 1: I have not heard anything about this, this organization, what
Speaker 1: it did. Please bring everybody up to speaks. They need
Speaker 1: to know about this. Yeah, they need to really, I mean,
Speaker 1: first acourage people go read my piece at Amgreatness dot
Speaker 1: com and you'll see more details. But it was a
Speaker 1: C three buck. It was literally Zuckerberg and his wife
Speaker 1: dropped three hundred and fifty million into the Center for
Speaker 1: Tech and Civic Life, where ninety nine point five percent
Speaker 1: of their money went into blue counties inside of battleground states,
Speaker 1: blue counties and blue cities to really work on faith
Speaker 1: election projects, including paying county and local election officials paying
Speaker 1: for some of those supposedly secure ballot drop boxes. This
Speaker 1: is all nonprofit money, and I told people on this piece,
Speaker 1: this is again something that has to be explored about
Speaker 1: the legality, because if I did this with American Majority,
Speaker 1: we're a nonprofit, We're a C three. If I had
Speaker 1: done some of that and using all of that money
Speaker 1: literally tens of millions of dollars in these counties and
Speaker 1: cities to basically in a back way, backdoorway, influenced the
Speaker 1: outcome of a partisan political race, I'd be in jail.
Speaker 1: I would If not in jail, I would have already
Speaker 1: had serious conversations with the IRS, the dj and PRID,
Speaker 1: the FBI, and so people need to be aware of
Speaker 1: what took place and how they were spending money. I
Speaker 1: mean literally, in some of these blue cities in Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: it was about forty seven dollars per Democratic vote being
Speaker 1: spent compared to four to seven dollars per Republican vote.
Speaker 1: I mean, there were a lot of things that were
Speaker 1: being done that don't even I think past the smell
Speaker 1: test and if we had a real IRS actually interested
Speaker 1: in enforcing its statutes. I have no idea how the
Speaker 1: Center for Tech and Civic Life what they did was legal,
Speaker 1: but I would encourage people go to Ambreytons dot com
Speaker 1: read my piece there's more details, and also read the
Speaker 1: AMASTAD projects report on It's about forty pages. I linked
Speaker 1: to it in my piece. People need to understand this
Speaker 1: because there were things that were that took place that
Speaker 1: were highly unusual, and if we allowed to continue, Republicans
Speaker 1: gonna have a really hard time winning a national election
Speaker 1: and a really hard time winning anything in a battlegraph state.
Speaker 1: Ned the future of the party right now is what
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party? Should we be thinking? What should
Speaker 1: our mission feel like and sound like? America? First? I
Speaker 1: mean this is that sounds like a really simple answer book.
Speaker 1: But the amazing thing is when Donald Trump stood up
Speaker 1: and said, I have a shocking idea of folks, I
Speaker 1: think the American system of government should actually work to
Speaker 1: promote in advance the interests of the American people, specifically
Speaker 1: the American worker and the American taxpayer. What a shocking concept.
Speaker 1: And a government's supposed to be up by and for
Speaker 1: the people. I mean, this is what this is the
Speaker 1: future of the Republican Party. What Donald Trump did is
Speaker 1: show us, hey, you can put together a winning coalition
Speaker 1: based on not Republican orthodoxy, but Americanism. Right. We're for
Speaker 1: the American people, We're for the American worker, We're for
Speaker 1: the American taxpayer. We want to see trade deals, immigration
Speaker 1: deals that benefit and advance and promote the American people's interests.
Speaker 1: That is the future of the Republican Party. But I'm
Speaker 1: not naive. I know that the corporatists and the globalists
Speaker 1: and people that enjoyed the Rick system that benefit from
Speaker 1: it obviously want the Republican Party to snap back to
Speaker 1: what it was before Trump. But he has shown us
Speaker 1: what a very successful future looks like if we'll embrace it,
Speaker 1: and I hope that we do. Ned, Ryan, everybody found
Speaker 1: of American majority. Ned, thanks so much, a man. Good
Speaker 1: that you're in this fight makes us all feel a
Speaker 1: little better about our chances. I appreciate it. Thanks, fuck
Speaker 1: thank you. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart
Speaker 1: Radio app. Or wherever you get your pod that President
Speaker 1: Biden and Democrats want to have a big tent party
Speaker 1: and include some of these people. Great, And if we're
Speaker 1: all just deplorable and need to be deprogrammed, as Katie
Speaker 1: Kurik said, then honestly they can go to hell because
Speaker 1: I don't need to be deprogrammed. I just have a
Speaker 1: different perspective on how the government open. Yes, I like
Speaker 1: it from Megan McCain here on the View. It's amazing
Speaker 1: how she says things that I think a normal rational
Speaker 1: person would find somewhat obvious. And the rest of the
Speaker 1: ladies in the view are all, oh my gosh, good heavens,
Speaker 1: what has she done? They all freak out about It's
Speaker 1: pretty funny. It's amazing to watch it. But yeah, they
Speaker 1: talk about unity, they talk about bringing us all together,
Speaker 1: and then they also say that we need to be deprogrammed,
Speaker 1: or that we need to be brainwashed or re educated
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. That's gonna be, That's gonna
Speaker 1: be something that we remember as they continue to prop
Speaker 1: up this bumbling buffoon Joe Biden going forward. Don't ever
Speaker 1: forget that this is the best they could come up with.
Speaker 1: This is we had three hundred and thirty million people
Speaker 1: in America, and Joe Biden is who is the single
Speaker 1: most powerful person in the United States government right now.
Speaker 1: This guy's almost eighty years old. He is clearly slow,
Speaker 1: has clearly slowed down a lot. And when he was
Speaker 1: much younger and much more with it cognitively and energetically,
Speaker 1: Democrats strongly repudiated the notion that he would be a
Speaker 1: good president in their own primaries. I mean, they shot
Speaker 1: down Joe Biden's hopes with prejudice, and yet here he
Speaker 1: is now because he got sort of picked out of
Speaker 1: obscurity relative obscurity by Barack Obama. Now he's the guy. Now,
Speaker 1: he's the person that we're all supposed to believe has
Speaker 1: a vision for the future of the country, and vision
Speaker 1: for America's gonna make everything better. Speaking of visions for
Speaker 1: the country, you know who the last person is that
Speaker 1: anybody wants to hear from about what the GOP should
Speaker 1: turn into. Now, I mean, there's a list you could
Speaker 1: come up with here. There's a lot of different people
Speaker 1: you could throw out there as I really don't care
Speaker 1: what so and so thinks, But Jeff Flake, I think
Speaker 1: might be at the very top of the list, Play sixteen.
Speaker 1: There is no future with trumps um. It just there's
Speaker 1: no coherent governing philosophy. It's it's more of an attitude
Speaker 1: than than a philosophy. And in just look, since President
Speaker 1: Trump was elected, we lost the House, we've lost the Senate,
Speaker 1: we lost the White House, and in the midterms we
Speaker 1: lost more than four hundred legislative seats nationwide. I don't
Speaker 1: know how much more winning we can stand as a
Speaker 1: Republican party. So we've got to go a different director. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go with the Jeff Flakes of the world. That's
Speaker 1: a great idea because if you really enjoy having no principles,
Speaker 1: no backbone, and losing all the time, Jeff Flake is
Speaker 1: your guy. He knows how to get it done. Cowardice
Speaker 1: is cool, Jeff Flake says, kind of. You're in the
Speaker 1: freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Get the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com.
Speaker 1: The show ain't over yet, folks. It's time for roll call,
Speaker 1: my favorite part of the day, roll call. It's snowing
Speaker 1: here at NYC. Got some big, big snowflakes moving all
Speaker 1: over the place, kind of like the snowflakes at police
Speaker 1: it go dot com. One hundred plus of them have
Speaker 1: signed something because a conservative because Ben Shapiro wrote their
Speaker 1: political playbook. So now one hundred plus conservative I mean sorry,
Speaker 1: A hundred plus writers for Politico are crying like little babies.
Speaker 1: I think the snowflake term should be brought back. But anyway,
Speaker 1: it is. It is a snowing outside here in New
Speaker 1: York City, which makes me miss the beautiful sunshine and
Speaker 1: warmth the Florida even more. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Producer Mark, at least you got back before it snowed.
Speaker 1: At least I got back before it's That's a good point.
Speaker 1: I one thing that I will never be good at.
Speaker 1: I will never be somebody who handles airport delays well
Speaker 1: something about it. Yeah, No, I'm not good. I am
Speaker 1: very and I try very hard. I do not get
Speaker 1: impatient with the airport people, but I do hate the airlines,
Speaker 1: and I try not to start, you know, tweeting profanity
Speaker 1: at their official accounts or anything out of just year frustration,
Speaker 1: because I know people do that and like I think
Speaker 1: as American Airlines or whatever doesn't really care, you know,
Speaker 1: even if they respond to your tweet. They don't care.
Speaker 1: They're multibillion dollar corporations. You can wind about it all day.
Speaker 1: That's amazing because because the airline, it's a little bit
Speaker 1: like dealing with government. I think in the Soviet Union.
Speaker 1: I've said this before. You have to do what they say,
Speaker 1: even when it's stupid. They can make you uncomfortable, they
Speaker 1: can ruin your day, and you're paying them for the
Speaker 1: privilege of all that. And oh, by the way, there's
Speaker 1: like no recourse and nothing you can do, and they
Speaker 1: don't care if you're miserable. So that like, that's like
Speaker 1: dealing with the airlines. It's like being in the Soviet Union,
Speaker 1: I think circa nineteen seventy. You know, it's like this
Speaker 1: is this is the the moldy bread you get is
Speaker 1: what you get. The crappy house with no heat, you know,
Speaker 1: the crappy apartment with no heat in Moscow winter is
Speaker 1: what you deal with. And if you don't like it, tough,
Speaker 1: you know. That's what I think. Whenever they come along
Speaker 1: and say, oh, you know, you've gotta you know, they
Speaker 1: have like this, this whole thing, I have to verbally
Speaker 1: say I had to deal with this because I was
Speaker 1: sitting in the exit row. And you can't just nod
Speaker 1: your head. You have to say yes to will you
Speaker 1: assist in an emergency? You know who comes up with
Speaker 1: these rules? Producer Mark, I would believe the FAA. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's you're correct, that is the answer to the question.
Speaker 1: But I meant that like more, you know, what a
Speaker 1: pile of what a pile of nonsense. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It'd be fun if I I should get a little
Speaker 1: bleep button so I can say what I want to
Speaker 1: say and we could just bleep it out in real time.
Speaker 1: You know that sometimes the salty language wants to come
Speaker 1: out of the buckster's mouth. But I know we can't
Speaker 1: do that because of the FCC. Yeah, not the FAA,
Speaker 1: the FCC. A lot of f's messing with us, alot
Speaker 1: a lot of f's, All these f's flying around. Um.
Speaker 1: You know. Actually I got into a discussion with my brother,
Speaker 1: is like an expert in aerospace because of his work
Speaker 1: in the finance world, and we talked and I started
Speaker 1: ask him questions about about airline disasters, and I didn't
Speaker 1: realize there's a whole sort of subculture on YouTube and
Speaker 1: of all these different documentaries and everything of airline disasters,
Speaker 1: and they're terrifying but engrossing, you know, when you find
Speaker 1: out how it actually goes. Planes are incredibly safe these days.
Speaker 1: I mean there's basically year after year now you'll have
Speaker 1: no plane disasters, even with however, many tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of flights that are going on every every single day
Speaker 1: or month or whatever it is. Airlines are incredibly safe.
Speaker 1: But when you read about some of the old, back
Speaker 1: in the day airlines, you know, it's a little more
Speaker 1: of a little more of a roll of the dice.
Speaker 1: You know, stuff happened like the seventies and the sixties.
Speaker 1: Stuff could happen. There's a TV show about this, so
Speaker 1: maybe Discovery or one of those type of channels. Airline
Speaker 1: dis yep, yep, yep. I've seen some of it. The
Speaker 1: thing about airline disasters that I always find so kind
Speaker 1: of a life lesson is that it is occasionally it's
Speaker 1: like the thing that happened to Sully, where it's just
Speaker 1: really bad luck. Right, You've got a double bird strike
Speaker 1: in the engines and you're just screwed, and you know,
Speaker 1: and obviously that was like a miracle and everybody was okay,
Speaker 1: thank god. But in other airline disasters. It's a light
Speaker 1: goes out in the dashboard and then they can't put
Speaker 1: down the wheel on the plane, or they don't know
Speaker 1: if the wheel for landing can go down, and then
Speaker 1: they don't know how to turn on the light to
Speaker 1: look manually to see if the wheel is down, and
Speaker 1: then they let the autopilot shift off by accident because
Speaker 1: they're trying to find the light to see if the
Speaker 1: wheel is down, because they can't know because the light
Speaker 1: and the dash went out, and then no one's paying
Speaker 1: attention while the autopilot's off, and then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they crashed in the everygoods that actually happened in Florida,
Speaker 1: and half the people on board that flight died. But
Speaker 1: it's it's often a cascade of little errors. Mark, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: this just sounds terrifying. It makes me want to hit
Speaker 1: not go flying. Okay, you know, we'll get off this,
Speaker 1: but I mean, it's it's fascinated fast sing stuff all right,
Speaker 1: road call. Remember Facebook dot com, slash buck Sex and
Speaker 1: Team Bucket, iHeartMedia dot com and all the rest of it.
Speaker 1: Let's get to it. Josh, my main man, Josh, here
Speaker 1: we go, Hey buck Oss listener here for those who
Speaker 1: don't know, OSS means Original Saturday Squad, obviously also in
Speaker 1: homage to the Office of Strategic Services from World War Two.
Speaker 1: But the OSS are people who have been listening to
Speaker 1: me since I started doing a digital only radio show.
Speaker 1: It's basically a live radio stream on a website on
Speaker 1: Saturdays that we have since grown into a show that
Speaker 1: has over two hundred stations now and is obviously five
Speaker 1: days a week in national syndication, and you know, so
Speaker 1: on and so forth. So yay, good things. I'm only
Speaker 1: emailing you because I got off all social media platforms.
Speaker 1: I hear you, Josh, what they're doing a conservative voices.
Speaker 1: I can no longer support them anyway. I see that
Speaker 1: Biden has already signed some executive orders relating to the
Speaker 1: Keystone pipeline. It's costing the American people any jobs. There
Speaker 1: are many more sectors to be targeted soon. Now anyone
Speaker 1: that voted for Biden and is losing their job gets
Speaker 1: to see what they voted for. I don't mean to boast,
Speaker 1: but that's what they've been trying. That's what I've been
Speaker 1: trying to tell people. What other industries you see being
Speaker 1: affected by the Biden administration. Thanks Buck Shields high well
Speaker 1: clearly energy right. We know that the fossil fuel industry
Speaker 1: is an ideologically hated by the left right, even though
Speaker 1: they all rely on fossil fuels, even though the incredible
Speaker 1: world we live in today of abundance and instantaneous communication
Speaker 1: and comfort and safety and all it is, And mark
Speaker 1: my words here, this is true only possible because of
Speaker 1: fossil fuels. It's not that fossil fuels have made our
Speaker 1: modern economy better or of help. It is only possible
Speaker 1: because of fossil fuels, all right. If we were relying
Speaker 1: on windmills and solar, we would note we would be nowhere,
Speaker 1: we'd be one one hundredth as wealthy as we are
Speaker 1: right now as a world, I mean, and certainly as
Speaker 1: a country. So and don't fact check me on that number,
Speaker 1: because I'm just you know, spitballing. But you get what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. What other industries are going to come into
Speaker 1: the gun industry. I think there's already you see, some
Speaker 1: of the gun stocks are already very high because people
Speaker 1: are anticipating a spree of gun buying. It's already been
Speaker 1: going underway right now for a while, but the gun industry,
Speaker 1: they're going to go after them. I think the small
Speaker 1: business is going to have a very hard just small
Speaker 1: business in general, not even any one sector going to
Speaker 1: have a very hard time under the Buyen administration. So
Speaker 1: I would be prepared for that. I am trying to
Speaker 1: think who else is going to get really hit by this.
Speaker 1: Anybody who's on the wrong side of the environmentalists, anybody
Speaker 1: that's an individualist or believes in freedom and liberty in
Speaker 1: their business dealings, They're going to have a tough time.
Speaker 1: Wall Street will be fine, Big corporations will be fine,
Speaker 1: social media will be fine. It's gonna be startups, entrepreneurs,
Speaker 1: small businesses, fossil fuel industry. They're all gonna be in really,
Speaker 1: really rough shape. And look what they've done they continue
Speaker 1: to do to the restaurant industry. I mean, you could
Speaker 1: blame the Trump administration for some of this as well,
Speaker 1: or at least Democrat and some Republican governors of states
Speaker 1: that have shut down dining, but it's terrible for those businesses,
Speaker 1: you know, the hospitality industry, hotels, all the rest of it. So, yeah, Dave,
Speaker 1: or it's hay Buck. If science will rule shouldn't it
Speaker 1: be clear there are two genders? That is scary stuff.
Speaker 1: Keep up the great work. We're headed back to the
Speaker 1: days of Jimmy Carter. This is not good, yeah, Dave.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how anybody can think that
Speaker 1: they're the Party of Science when they have a problem
Speaker 1: with there are two genders. I think that's very straightforward.
Speaker 1: I think it should be obvious to everybody that there
Speaker 1: are two genders. That is the truth. And there are
Speaker 1: some areas of our lives, there are some areas where
Speaker 1: the separation of the genders is important, and sports is
Speaker 1: certainly one of them. There is no reason, there's no
Speaker 1: need for people to pretend that they cannot observe what
Speaker 1: is readily observable. And men have a size, strength, and
Speaker 1: speed advantage over women. It's just a fact. Okay, we
Speaker 1: all know this. It's biology. It's very straightforward. So that
Speaker 1: the Democrat refusal on this one, you know, in part,
Speaker 1: it reminds me a little bit of how you could
Speaker 1: go to the Orwell's nineteen eighty four for this, because
Speaker 1: remember in the end when when they finally have the
Speaker 1: you know, the breakdown in nineteen eighty four, at the
Speaker 1: very end of the book. When when you have Winston
Speaker 1: Smith announcing Julia right, you know, Winston Smith announcing Julie
Speaker 1: at the end, as you know it's her fault. That's
Speaker 1: when they've really got you. That's when they've really destroyed you.
Speaker 1: When you will renounce the people you love or that
Speaker 1: you care about, or denounce them because of all the
Speaker 1: pressure on you. And then you see this with in
Speaker 1: totalitarian societies, getting you to renounce the truth, just getting
Speaker 1: you to say things that are not true because it
Speaker 1: unsettles you, It off balances you. It makes it less
Speaker 1: likely that you're willing to stand up and oppose them
Speaker 1: on anything because you have become a party to lies.
Speaker 1: When you have to say things that you know are
Speaker 1: not true, it debases your ability to discern what is true.
Speaker 1: And you are de facto a liar along with everybody else,
Speaker 1: even if you're being made to do it right, you
Speaker 1: you're telling lies. You know, when you have to say
Speaker 1: that gender is a social construct, and and your your business,
Speaker 1: your your employer maybe force you into this. Now you
Speaker 1: are being made to lie. And and in the same
Speaker 1: way that you know they will with child soldiers. In
Speaker 1: some of these um you see this with some of
Speaker 1: the you know, very violent you know, African militias and
Speaker 1: civil wars in African Sub Saharan Africa. They'll have child
Speaker 1: soldiers engage in you know, vicious brutality and in a
Speaker 1: murder because then it's destroyed their innocence, and then it's
Speaker 1: just easy to mold them afterwards. By debasing your morality,
Speaker 1: by debasing your ability to discern what is true from
Speaker 1: what is not, it makes it easier to control you
Speaker 1: with everything else. And I know it seems like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: this is just one thing, but but it isn't just
Speaker 1: one thing, because there'll be other things too. They will
Speaker 1: make you a party to lies, so then they can
Speaker 1: force more lies upon you because they've already broken you.
Speaker 1: That's part of this whole obsession that the left has
Speaker 1: with the transgender agenda. That's that's being just put at
Speaker 1: the very forefront of the Biden administration. That's what we
Speaker 1: see happening. This is the Buck Sexton Show Podcast. Join
Speaker 1: the conversation and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email
Speaker 1: Team Bucket, iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it on
Speaker 1: the show. Roll call continues here with Gina, Hey, Buck,
Speaker 1: so much you have talked about in the time since
Speaker 1: the election and inauguration, but I will focus on one
Speaker 1: Biden and his faith. A big deal has been made
Speaker 1: of Biden being only one of a couple Catholic presidents.
Speaker 1: Suddenly religion seems to be very important to the left.
Speaker 1: Acb was an extremist, but Biden is a saint. His
Speaker 1: professed faith has quite frankly, been sickening to watch. There's
Speaker 1: even talk of his policies becoming mainstream among Catholics, including abortion,
Speaker 1: and questions being posed like so, where in the Bible
Speaker 1: is abortion labeled as a sin? Francis has ushered in
Speaker 1: a new world order according to his socialist tendencies. It's appalling.
Speaker 1: But the day the Church indicates its acceptance of the
Speaker 1: murder of the unborn as doctrine, well that's a day
Speaker 1: the Holy Catholic Church is dead to me and a
Speaker 1: few million other believers, or so I hope still with you,
Speaker 1: buck Shield's Eye very high, Gina, I think your analysis
Speaker 1: is correct. I don't believe the Church will budge on
Speaker 1: that issue, though. I don't think that they because they
Speaker 1: would recognize that that that's the that would be the end.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Catholic Church would be in a shambles
Speaker 1: if that. I've never got to that point. But Joe
Speaker 1: Biden using his Catholicism as a shield is laughable because
Speaker 1: he is going against Catholicism with his public policies on
Speaker 1: core issues, not on minor stuff. You know, I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that this isn't like, oh, people should give up
Speaker 1: fish on Friday's for lent or something, or you know,
Speaker 1: give up meat. Rather sorry, give up meat, gosh Buck,
Speaker 1: get back to church on Friday's and only eat fish
Speaker 1: for lent. This is this is big. I mean, the
Speaker 1: abortion issue is a central moral question and it's very
Speaker 1: important to the church, and Joe Biden's continuing cowardice on
Speaker 1: it is something that people should be appalled by, especially
Speaker 1: as fellow Catholics, but a lot of them aren't. A
Speaker 1: lot of them are not. They will continue to support
Speaker 1: them on this even though, well you all see what's
Speaker 1: going on. Eric Buck. I just want to congratulate you
Speaker 1: on being correct yet again. For months you said incredulously
Speaker 1: that the mask mandates would get to the point where
Speaker 1: they would begin to say where two masks wear it
Speaker 1: during flu season, where it if you have a summer call, etc.
Speaker 1: As it happens with your insights, they generally come to
Speaker 1: pass given some time, Eric, thank you. I appreciate that, because, yes,
Speaker 1: I have been saying that, Prucer Mark, haven't. I've been
Speaker 1: pretty annoying about saying this a lot for a long time.
Speaker 1: You have been almost a year now, yeah, almost a
Speaker 1: year now, Okay, saying this is what's going to happen, folks,
Speaker 1: I've been telling you. I've been telling you this was
Speaker 1: going to be where this is all going. Eric continues,
Speaker 1: It seems Fauci is now recommending that people double mask.
Speaker 1: I find it ironic because this would seem to suggest
Speaker 1: his initial comments on the effective effectiveness of masks were
Speaker 1: truthful and not some event to say a lot of
Speaker 1: people to save Ppe. So where does this end? A
Speaker 1: career bureaucrat has felt the power he's been preparing to
Speaker 1: ascend to his entire professional career, and it seems, at
Speaker 1: least to me that he likes it. His interviews don't
Speaker 1: come across as someone who shuns the spotlight or redirects
Speaker 1: attention to people doing the actual work. Eric, you and
Speaker 1: I are on the same page here, My man absolutely correct.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's troubling to see this play out.
Speaker 1: I whish more people understood what we see right now. Kevin,
Speaker 1: it will take thirteen hundred and eight rail cars per
Speaker 1: day to replace the pipelines eight hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 1: barrel per day capacity against. The environmentalists are okay with this.
Speaker 1: I wonder what the farmers will think when there will
Speaker 1: not be any room on the rails for their products. Yeah, Kevin,
Speaker 1: Keystone Xcel banning. It is pure ideology over facts, reason, logic,
Speaker 1: and good governance. It just shows you what the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: and this is a day one thing. It shows you
Speaker 1: what they're willing to do in order to placate their
Speaker 1: left wing base and to give away, you know, give
Speaker 1: away things that they shouldn't, but they will do it
Speaker 1: because that's really who the Democrats are. The socialist impulse
Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party is that is there, That is
Speaker 1: in their souls, friends, even if they can't necessarily be
Speaker 1: open about it. That's where that party is going. That's
Speaker 1: what they really want. Gotta leave it there for today, folks,
Speaker 1: Please pass the buck. Tell somebody to download listen to
Speaker 1: bucks x and podcast. Whenever you're talking about politics until tomorrow.
