WEBVTT - Fauci Wants Double Masking 0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:04.920 You're listening to the Buck Sexton Shoe podcast, make sure 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:07.960 you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or 0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:11.920 wherever you get your podcasts. The new era of government 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:14.760 we're supposed to be in isn't exactly what we thought 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:18.560 it would be, isn't Or perhaps you were not listening 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.080 to the media you knew they were lying to you 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:24.239 when they said Joe Biden's gonna be just good old 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:28.200 blue collar Joe gonna be a reasonable guy, gonna play 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:32.639 it straight, all about the unions and the working folks, right, 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:37.000 the usual clap trap from Joe Biden that he's been 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:41.520 peddling for decades now, while his party is all about 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:47.240 coastal elites, the ultra rich, welfare cases, identity politics, and 0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:52.280 radical left wing Marxist ideology wherever they can get away 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.320 with it. That's what the Democrat Party actually is. But 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.120 Joe Biden is supposed to fool people, and unfortunately it 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.840 worked well enough, but he won this last election full 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.360 them into thinking that no, no, it's going to be 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.759 a moderate Democrat party. Look at the number of executive 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.080 orders that Biden signed on his first day in office 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.959 compared to executive orders in a similar time period from 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:19.440 all the presidencies before him. Biden came into office with 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.440 a plan, not one that he had, one that has 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.600 been handed to him, and he is executing on it. 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:29.080 He's doing what he's told. He's taking the actions that 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.840 the apparatus around him is demanded. And we see this 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:40.600 with a number of issues. The ending of gender segregated 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:45.920 sports when it comes to transgender individuals, for example, there's 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.280 that issue which will return to you later in the show. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.120 The ending of the building of the wall at the 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.960 southern border, so that's coming right before we're going to 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.960 have this whole push for amnesty. So a day facto 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:04.880 open border, joining the Paris Climate Accord, and now the 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:10.519 destruction of the Keystone Xcel pipeline project, preventing it from 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.120 being completed. Deciding that this is now done, it's over with. 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.720 Why would Joe Biden do this? The country is hurting. 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.480 There are a lot of people who are out of work. 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.720 What we've really seen is a bifurcation, a separation of 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:28.760 the country into two into two very different classes. There 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.040 are the people that get to work where they want, 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.440 when they want, without any change in their wages, and 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.240 then the people that have to bring them their food. 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.959 The people that have to actually deliver things to the stores, 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:45.720 or work in the stores, or operate the nursing homes. 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:49.200 Right there are the folks that haven't really suffered during 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.360 this and don't really care about the suffering that the 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.200 rest of the country goes through, but talk a lot 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.360 about it. And then there the people that have to 0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:00.480 deal with the negative consequences in very personal terms of 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:05.160 these lockdowns. They have to deal with the downside, the 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:10.560 downside that's constantly minimized in media discussions about all of this. 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.560 The Keystone Xcel is just a harbinger of things to come, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:17.320 don't you see. There's no real justification for this. It's 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:23.600 utter nonsense. But the enviral wacko left views this as 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:29.040 a religious a religious fight. This is a jihad of 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.520 sorts to stop the Keystone Xcel pipeline from being built 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.760 because of the theoretical threat to wet lands or yeah, 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.840 it could possibly spill. They say, well, guess what. The 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.000 gas is still coming out of the ground. The oil 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.160 is still coming up. Now, it's just going to be 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:48.119 distributed by trucks and other mechanisms that are actually much 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.920 more likely to have leakage and spills. So they're not 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.320 they're not helping the environment. They're not stopping any co 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:58.080 two from getting into the atmosphere with this move. But 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:03.840 more to the immediacy of it, you have thousands of 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.640 people that are now out of a job. Now, I 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.440 know that's only a drop in the bucket of all 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.600 those who are unemployed across the country, but it's not 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.400 a drop in the bucket if you're relying on that 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.640 paycheck to feed yourself and your family, keep a roof 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.680 over your head, to pay your mortgage. It means a 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:23.840 lot to those thousands of workers, and they're thousands of 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.920 family members. And it's indicative here of what the mindset 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.120 is of these these Democrat administration that's coming. They're not technocrats, 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.440 they're not savvy strategists. They're not a bunch of brilliant, 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:39.359 highly capable public servants who aren't going to push for 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.240 partisan nonsense. This is Obama two point zero. That's what 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.240 we're going through right now. Remember Obama, it was a 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:51.720 lot of a lot of you know, bombastic talk, a 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.400 lot of eloquence, not a lot of substance. And the 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.080 actual substance that you saw from the policies of that 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:02.799 administration were far left, dragging the country to the left. 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:08.440 No bipartisan outreach, no taking a center path, not being 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:13.000 judged on outcomes, a being judged on promises. That's really 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.640 where Democrats excel. And that's what you're already seeing. The 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.240 Democrats couldn't keep promises based on what they said to 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.400 get Joe Biden elected for a day once he was 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.000 in office. You really think that's going to get any better? 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.680 You think that's going to improve? What are we seeing 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.479 here from this Biden administration? These thousands of jobs that 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.240 are now up in smoke. Fascinating, isn't it that there 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:39.640 were posts on Facebook that were tagged as misleading information 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.520 about the Joe Biden the ramifications of the Joe Biden 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.880 cancelation of Keystone Excel. And you know how they went 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.480 through this. They said it's misleading because the estimate it 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:54.400 was eleven thousand jobs and over a billion dollars of 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.359 lost wages from not building this thing. And keep in 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:03.000 mind there's also all the additional profits and productivity and 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:10.000 energy security and domestic domestic production benefits that come from 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.239 having the pipeline and operation. And this is a great 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.400 thing for us with our Canadian neighbors. It was going 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:19.880 to be a joint US Canadian project. Justin Trudeau, a leftist, 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.200 wants it because he knows it's good for his country. 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.560 Biden shuts it down because the Obama team kept finding 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.680 ways to shut it down without saying that's really what 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:32.039 they were doing. They kept delaying it, and they would say, well, 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.040 we have to wait for a report from the State Department. 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:35.919 And then the report came out they didn't like it, 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:37.680 so they said, oh, well, we got to delay some more. 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.920 But these Facebook posts that were marked as misleading, Now 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:45.280 what they're doing is saying, well, these are projected job losses, 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.240 so since it's a projection, we can't really know, therefore 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.160 it's not true. Oh is that the new standard for 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:55.040 a fact check? If I say that there's an estimated, 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.240 you know, eleven thousand jobs that we lost from Keystone 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:02.320 Xcel and all the numbers going to something close to that, 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.800 they're gonna fact check me. Now, they only do this 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:10.400 to anybody standing in the way of the consensus. Corporate 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:14.240 is left. They're shutting down our ability to speak, to communicate, 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.720 to share ideas. They are twisting the notion of a 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:21.160 fact check itself because it benefits them. Right now, it 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.360 turns out that it is thousands of jobs that are 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.560 being cost here by this one decision. It is at 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.400 least a billion dollars of wages lost. And you know 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:34.760 who's picking up this tab, union workers. A lot of 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:38.280 union workers were gonna be on this project. Now there's 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:43.040 no project. So the Democrats say, well, they're only temporary jobs. Okay, 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:47.239 have they ever men anybody who works in construction, because 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:52.680 most jobs in construction are temporary jobs. You know, you 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.480 don't build something forever. You build it till it's done, 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.280 then you move on to the next project. But it's 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:01.200 just another dodge. It's another dishonest way to try to 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.880 evade accountability for what has been done here, which is 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:10.280 just a straight up optics based ideological giveaway to the radical, 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.840 enviral wacko left. People who won't change their own behaviors. 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.960 Want to live in big fancy houses, drive big fancy cars, 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:22.160 fly private whenever they can. But you have to pay 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.440 higher energy prices, maybe even lose your job because we 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:31.320 can't have Mother Earth overheat. Don't know, it's an existential threat. 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:35.319 Who really believes that nonsense? I'm amazed when I meet 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.160 people that actually think that that's true. But there are 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.920 so many of them. You look at the polling and 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.720 even Democrats recognize that climate change is a very low 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.360 priority for a vast majority of them, because come on, 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.800 let's be serious human beings for a moment here. But 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.319 there is this minority when the Democrat party five ten, 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:59.160 maybe fifteen percent who walk around and they say that 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.520 it's an existential threat. Climate change is an existential threat, 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.400 and it's a badge of honor they think when they 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:09.839 say it shows how smart, how virtuous they are. It's 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.360 a joke, of course, when you look at the change 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.800 in fossil fuel usage globally over the last thirty years, 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.200 thanks to India and China, there basically is no change. 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.319 But oh, it's we're all supposed to be so thankful 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.720 for the climate change activists out there. They're doing such 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:29.240 great jobs, such a great way. You know. You know 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:35.680 who's not thankful though, the people who suffer the consequences 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.320 of bad decisions, the people that now have to go 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.319 home and think, how do I pay my rent? How 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.680 do I afford my groceries? Because good old blue collar 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.280 Joe loves the union workers just decided that thousands of 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:53.480 them have jobs that don't count enough. Here is a 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.000 manager of the Keystone Pipeline, Keystone XL Pipeline, what was 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.600 formerly known as because now of course the project's done, 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.800 telling folks about what's really going on. Hearing from him, 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:07.920 play three right now, the numbers of jobs are thousands 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:12.720 of jobs. There's Michaels, there's Precision pipeline that we've affected, 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.480 that the pipeline was going to be constructed. The actions 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.240 that were happened recently, we were doing station work. There's 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:24.080 hundreds of guys that got laid off. Jobs gone laid off. Sorry, 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.680 no more paycheck for you. Joe Biden wanted to pat 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:31.240 on the head from environmentalists who live in in Malibu 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:37.160 and Brooklyn. Sorry, too bad, no more job. These are 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:39.160 the Democrats that are supposed to care so much about 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.480 the working class. You know what their real plan is 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.040 to tax you, to tax the middle class, to tax 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.319 people who are earners more, to make your life more 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.320 expensive and more difficult, and to print more money to 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.520 give to other people. That is their plan. And the 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.199 whole time they're going to talk to you about how 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.840 much they care about the suffering and the struggles of 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.680 the working class, while all the major decision making is 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.640 going to make life harder for the working claus. Going 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.520 to make your healthcare premiums go up, going to make 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.400 your healthcare quality go down, going to make competition for 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:16.720 your job, particularly from illegal alien workers, go up, going 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.480 to make your wages go down. We are going to 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:24.160 see now the results of a Biden presidency, just like 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:28.760 we saw the results of the Obama presidency, and they 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.360 are weak, if not disastrous. But you know what they're 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:37.520 going to do. Keep people distracted with BLM protests against 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:42.200 those evil racist cops. Tell people how awful Trump was. 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:46.400 Just keep keep on the Orange Man bad routine. That'll 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.160 keep it all going, and have the media completely in 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.640 the pocket of this administration preventing not only does the 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:59.200 media refuse to ask real questions of the Biden administration, 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.840 I mean that's where you have real authoritarianism, when the 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.959 media and the government are working hand in glove. That's 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.880 where we are now. Yes, there are a few outposts 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.760 where real questions can still get asked, and the rest 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.679 of the media is trying to shut them down. So 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:19.560 it's not even that the the the media overall, That 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:24.439 journalism overall does the does the work of the Biden administration. 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.800 By refusing to ask real questions, they suppress real questions 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.840 from anybody else, And it's all going to be the narrative. Oh, 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:33.760 look at how great Joe. But look at that Look 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.880 at that big grin. Oh or his grandchildren so cute. 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.960 Oh he's got dogs at the White House. Now, isn't 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.600 that wonderful? Shut up about the jobs that have been 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.439 lost from union workers on Keystone Xcel. That doesn't matter. 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.720 Look at look at what a nice guy Joe is 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:51.040 and how much he cares. They're gonna try to bludgeon 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:54.680 you into submission with these lies. Get ready for it 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.240 and resist it with all your might, my friends, because 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:03.439 the future of the country hangs in the ballance.

Federal government also owns an enormous fleet of 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:18.600 vehicles which we're going to replace with clean electric vehicles 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:22.480 made right here in America by American workers, creating millions 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.640 of job a million autoworker jobs, and clean energy and 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:31.520 vehicles that are net zero emissions. And together this will 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:35.720 be the largest mobilization of public investment and procurement, infrastructure 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.079 and r and decense World War two. Just going to 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.520 spend a whole lot of your tax dollars on electric cars. 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:48.400 That's gonna that's gonna save us. This is all ideologically driven. 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.320 This is not this is not based in good governance. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.199 This is not based in anything that is important or 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.520 necessary for the day to day lives of the American 0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:00.760 people right now. But you know, a net zero emission 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.640 vehicle fleet they want by what twenty thirty, twenty thirty five, 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.040 All this stuff that you're hearing. They use this very 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:11.559 very long timeline so that they can't be held responsible 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:18.320 for the expense, the loss, the frustration, the downside right now. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.560 The downside will be apparent right away. But hey, they're 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:25.600 trying to get to a whole different world, man. That's 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.560 the game plan here, that's what they're doing. But it's 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:34.320 so interesting that Biden throws union workers on the Keystone 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.520 XL pipeline under the bus right away, because you know, 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:41.680 the Sierra Club, because the Chardonnay socialists who care much 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:46.640 more about species of eagle that they've never seen, or 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.760 of you know, owls that they'll never actually come across 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.560 in the wild, or perhaps a small fish, as in 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.200 the case of the Delta smelt in California. Go check 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.280 that one out if you're really curious how wacko the 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:02.520 Democrats are. They care more about that than they do 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:06.400 about the American people, American workers, you know, the folks 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.400 that have to work with their hands and do a 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.880 tough and rough job and receive a decent but not 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.760 nearly enough wage for it. They don't. They don't really 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.400 have respect for those people. But you know who does 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.600 get a lot of love from Biden and the rest 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:25.320 of the Democrats when it comes to unions, Public sectory unions. 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:31.320 That's right, Public sector unions are sacrosanct. Private sector unions 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.400 you can actually make a case for. You can understand, 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:41.200 especially people that are in hard, you know, laborious, hard work, 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:46.080 hard work situations, and they they band together and they 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:50.200 get better wages, better benefits, working conditions. Was what I 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:51.800 was trying to think of. That was afraid, hard, hard 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:56.840 working conditions. They come together and they have the possibility of, 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:02.040 you know, negotiating with management and striking better bargains. Public 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.720 sector unions, as you know, from the dawn of unionization 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:10.400 in this country, the public sector unions have been a 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:14.920 constant problem, and we're known in the beginning. I mean, 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.440 I think it was FDR who said that the idea 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.560 of public sector unions is crazy. You can't you can't 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:23.040 have political power growing in that way within the government, 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:28.040 then demanding wages and benefits where their only counterparty is 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:32.359 the government, which they can then support through their union donations. 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.560 So of course it's the taxpayers writing all the checks. 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.040 It's not like management of a private company. So yeah, 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:39.960 they're going to give them everything they can get away with, 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:46.760 the biggest drag on, the biggest drag on taxpayers, and 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.240 a lot of you will see this in the taxes 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.960 paid on your homes, right, Why do those keep Why 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:53.880 does the assessment always go up? You're like, well, could 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.480 I even get this amount of money from my house 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.760 because my assessment keeps going up? Well, that's because you 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:03.720 are paying for munists, siple employees, particularly their pensions. Gotta 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.840 back end those benefits as much as possible. You're paying 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:13.800 for municipal employee pensions and medicaid. That's what runs state 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.520 and local budgets in this country off a cliff. Those 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.160 two things so you're paying for those municipal workers who 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.879 get to negotiate for their better benefits through a union 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.840 that doesn't have anybody to stop to step in and say, 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:31.159 hold on a second, that's unreasonable. No, if they can 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.680 get away with it without the Democrats in an area 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.680 suffering the political consequences, they'll do it. It doesn't matter 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.239 how expensive it is over the long term. Well, this 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.679 has come up now in one big case in Chicago. 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.600 Let's dive into it. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:50.560 for listening to The buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:56.679 latest from Bucket buck Sexton dot com. I believe we 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:03.480 should make school classrooms safe and secure for the students, 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:09.800 for the teachers, and the help that's in those schools 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:14.840 maintaining the facilities. We need new ventilation system in those schools. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.879 We need testing for people coming in and out of 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:23.480 the classes. We need testing for teachers as well as students. 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:28.000 And we need the capacity, the capacity to know that 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.520 in fact, the sick of the circumstance in the school 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.000 is safe and secure for everyone. So it's not so 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:39.240 much about the idea teachers aren't going to work. The 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.040 teachers I know they want to work they just want 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.240 to work in a safe environment and as safe as 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.400 we can rastically make it. And we can do that, 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.359 and we should be able to open up every school 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:55.240 kindergarten through eighth grade if in fact we administer these tests, 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.040 and we'll have the added advantage, I might add, of 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.600 putting millions of people pull back to work. Yeah, I 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.680 guess what. The teachers union in Chicago, one of the 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:08.520 largest school districts in the country, shot down Joe Biden's 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:13.720 proposal for his first hundred days of reopening schools. Yes, 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:15.879 this is what. This is what we've been saying along. 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:20.800 They're taking children hostage. They're they're saying, sorry, can educate 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.800 your kids? Too dangerous to go into school? I'm sorry? 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:27.520 Is it too dangerous for the grocery store workers down 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.520 the street from where I live to go do their 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:31.920 jobs because they've been doing it from day one of 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.439 the pandemic? Is it too dangerous for the people operating 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.520 the pharmacies that have to stay open so people can 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:42.239 get medicines and essential supplies during them because they've been 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:46.120 opened the whole time. Oh oh, but teachers are special. 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:50.200 They shouldn't have to Is their job essential or not? 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.760 Because if you get the essential designation, you should also 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.080 have to perform the essential service. But now they're talking 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.480 about doing an illegal strike, even they're talking about going 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:06.280 to that level, and it's all because they say that 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:08.760 it's because of safety concerns. No, let's be honest here. 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.480 The teachers Union, which is the one of the biggest 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:17.119 of all the machines for getting Democrats entrenched in power 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.040 in major cities across the country. The teachers Union is 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:22.280 one of the most powerful. You could even argue with 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:26.000 the single most powerful. I mean, it's right up there 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.200 with the corporate media, but with the teachers Union, it's 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:32.560 it's real big dollar donations that are flowing into these 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:37.960 Democrat candidates. And they also are able to hold society 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.720 hostage in a sense here by I said holding kids, 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:42.280 but with that it comes to their parents. So it's 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:46.720 really all of society in these major cities because they say, sorry, 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.560 can't teach, can't do it. That means you can't go 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:51.080 to your job, you gotta stay home with the kid. 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:56.200 You don't have money for daycare, so you're stuck, can't 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:59.560 pay for babysitters all day, can't pay for private school, 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.359 so they have a lot of leverage here and they 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:06.080 use it. This is this is appalling what's going on 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.680 right now. I want to want to be very clear 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:11.080 about this, that that the teachers unions, I've been saying 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:14.920 this all along, they have shown people here with their 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:21.600 willingness to go along. They go along with the pretense 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:27.280 that school is somehow this dangerous place to them during COVID. Yeah, 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:30.919 they're they're showing that they really just care about themselves. 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.560 That's actually what matters to them. This is effectively a 0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:38.200 strike that they're calling for an a legal strike even 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:42.399 though their collective bargaining agreement says they cannot strike. And 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:47.360 Biden wants Congress to give another one hundred and thirty 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:51.679 billion dollars to help schools, but somehow that's not going 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:58.280 to require schools to reopen. The problem here is self 0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:02.840 serving unions. The problem here is that the people in 0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:08.000 charge of making these decisions don't really care about kids. 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:10.800 And what they're really going to be talking about, what 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:14.120 they're really going to be discussing going forward, is how 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:17.400 they can extract maximum benefits out of this whole COVID pandemic. 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:20.399 So the country's suffering parents are in a terrible spot. 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.359 But Biden bends the need to the teachers union because 0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:27.399 if you're a Democrats, it's like the abortion lobby. You 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.880 cannot be a Democrat and cross them. They will crush you. 0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:34.399 And they do not. Forget absolutely true of teachers unions 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:36.600 as well. I mean, the fact that you have all 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:39.520 these people are saying that they need that they need 0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:42.520 special air purifiers and all the stuff. Children are at 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:45.080 almost no risk. We've already established that that's a fact, 0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:49.959 and children are at very very low risk of transmitting 0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:52.359 to adults. For whatever reason, that doesn't maybe because the 0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:55.080 children or their immune systems clear it so quickly that 0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:57.600 there's just it's very unlikely they're going to give this 0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:01.680 to an adult. And so what we're being told now 0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:04.879 is that teachers are rejecting in Chicago. I'm sure this 0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:07.080 is true in other cities. I know there's cities across 0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:10.000 the country where they're still very little to know in 0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:14.359 person learning going on. In New York, it's about for 0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:18.520 primary schools, you know, for grammar schools in the public 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:22.760 school system, it's almost half of them are closed, and 0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:25.000 high schools are remaining closed. I mean, there's a lot 0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:27.760 of a lot of schooling going on. That's all remote 0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:30.480 learning and remote learning as we all know as a joke. 0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:34.960 Remote learning as we're seeing it for kids doesn't work, 0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:39.399 doesn't work the same way. But teachers get to stay 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:42.480 home and they get to just do a video presentation. 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:45.160 They don't have to discipline kids, they don't have to commute, 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:48.040 they don't have to show up. It's a good gig. 0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:51.359 They don't want to give it up. They don't want 0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:53.600 to give it up. That's what's really happening. We're all 0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:57.200 seeing this right, and to come up with these ridiculous 0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:03.280 justifications for this. They need air purifiers, more cleaning protocols. 0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:08.360 The evidence is pretty obvious at this point. Anybody who 0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:11.359 sees it that, you know, liesoling a desk here or 0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:16.320 there doesn't stop the spread of COVID in any meaningful way. Yeah, 0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:17.840 I mean, maybe there could be COVID on death, but 0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:22.520 it's it's in the air, it's aerosol eyes. That's where 0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:26.760 you're getting COVID. And they're gonna vaccinate teachers. They're already 0:24:26.800 --> 0:24:29.399 getting vaccinated in some places in New York. They've been 0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:32.760 at the front of the line for a teacher to 0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:35.560
