Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck on Facebook,
Speaker 1: Instagram and Twitter. How much more do we have to
Speaker 1: see the upside down world that we are currently living
Speaker 1: in before everybody understands what's really going on. The people
Speaker 1: who are making the decisions, the people who are actually
Speaker 1: in charge here are the ones that are pretending that
Speaker 1: they're either victimize themselves or that they're such friends to
Speaker 1: the victims. This is true all throughout American society now.
Speaker 1: I think that's why the Meghan Markle and Harry interview
Speaker 1: struck such a chord with so many people, even though
Speaker 1: folks like me would usually say I could care less
Speaker 1: about the royal family. Everybody wants to be a victim
Speaker 1: these days. But it's not just that they want that
Speaker 1: elevation for themselves. They want to do it so that
Speaker 1: they can victimize others with impunity. This is what the
Speaker 1: left does now. This is the favorite game of the
Speaker 1: progressive left in America. We're so out of power that
Speaker 1: we can force you to say whatever we want and
Speaker 1: ruin your life and destroy your career unless you say
Speaker 1: exactly what we want. That's how out of power and
Speaker 1: oppressed we are. It's it's pretty remarkable, isn't it. It's
Speaker 1: a fascinating and really terrifying circumstance in its own way.
Speaker 1: But I also want you to be really careful with
Speaker 1: what you're doing online these days, because, as you know,
Speaker 1: you can't trust these big tech companies. I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: constantly battling with them. I use their platforms while I can,
Speaker 1: but I know that they're gathering all my data and
Speaker 1: information and that this stuff could be used against me.
Speaker 1: They could kick me off the platforms for wrong thing.
Speaker 1: They've already done that. You don't think that can happen
Speaker 1: to you too? Do you trust them? Do you want
Speaker 1: big tech to have your search history? You're viewing habits?
Speaker 1: Do you know what they're going to do with that information? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're gonna sell it. What else are they going to do? Look?
Speaker 1: Whenever you search for something online, you watch a video,
Speaker 1: you click a link, it gets tracked by big tech companies.
Speaker 1: They can match your activity to your true identity using
Speaker 1: your devices IP address. When I use Express VPN, these
Speaker 1: companies can actually see my IP address the same way.
Speaker 1: My identity is anonymized by a secure VPN server, my
Speaker 1: data is encrypted for maximum protection. Look, this is just
Speaker 1: the way you've got to be surfing the web using
Speaker 1: your online devices these days. You need Express VPN. Stop
Speaker 1: handing over your data to big tech companies and a government.

Speaker 1: to learn more. So the fascists that they have been
Speaker 1: claiming would take over America at any moment under Trump
Speaker 1: never materialize. Here's what we're actually seeing. The people who
Speaker 1: have been complaining about Donald Trump becoming a fascist dictator
Speaker 1: are the actual fascists in America. They're the people that
Speaker 1: you could say they're totalitarians, authoritarians, but they are leveraging
Speaker 1: government power. They are using their ability to manipulate public
Speaker 1: perception to fundamentally alter central principles of our society, things
Speaker 1: like free speech, things like equal protection under the law,
Speaker 1: not equity protection under the law, not these these changes
Speaker 1: to core ideas that our entire country or entire civilization
Speaker 1: is built on. Who are really the fascists, the people
Speaker 1: that believe in freedom, individual liberty, individual choice, constitutional protection
Speaker 1: for all, regardless of one's politics, or the people who say,
Speaker 1: you're not really allowed to speak in the way you want,
Speaker 1: you're not really allowed to share your ideas will shut
Speaker 1: you down. The private sector will help us, The public sector,
Speaker 1: the government will do it. Who's really the bigger concern
Speaker 1: for your future? The Democrats, Now, you can call them Kami's, leftist, authoritarians, fascist,
Speaker 1: whatever it may be they are. Certainly they are certainly
Speaker 1: extreme in their approach to these political and cultural debates
Speaker 1: that are happening right now, and also in their views,
Speaker 1: but also in their approach to the very exchange of ideas.
Speaker 1: And that brings me to the Biden administration. Here we
Speaker 1: are two months in. You look at the Joe Biden
Speaker 1: administration and you say, where are things going? Well, I know,
Speaker 1: we talk about Hide and Biden, We discuss how this
Speaker 1: guy doesn't really seem to be the president. You get
Speaker 1: the sense that at any moment they're gonna have somebody
Speaker 1: else come out, maybe Kamala. They're gonna have somebody else
Speaker 1: walk out, and oh, this is really the president. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden was just kind of keeping the seat warm. You know,
Speaker 1: he was just there as a placeholder. I think you
Speaker 1: could say this is the placeholder presidency. This is a
Speaker 1: guy who's just in the role because they wanted somebody
Speaker 1: with a D by his or her name. But the
Speaker 1: moment that they feel they can make a switch, they will.
Speaker 1: The moment somebody who is more charismatic comes along, somebody
Speaker 1: who actually has greater political skills, that will be that
Speaker 1: will be it, and Joe Biden will step aside, He'll retire,
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. Because let's look at what's
Speaker 1: really going on in the country. You have a crisis
Speaker 1: at our southern border that they are pathetically insisting is
Speaker 1: not a crisis. I mean, nobody really believes that what's
Speaker 1: going on in any way is normal, and no one
Speaker 1: thinks that the government can handle this. But here's Jensaki,
Speaker 1: for example, White House Press secretary won't speak the plain
Speaker 1: truth about this issue. Remember when they were asking Kelly
Speaker 1: mack in any questions when she was White House Press Secretary, like, well,
Speaker 1: you promised you'll never lie to the American people. You know,
Speaker 1: they would just ask these condescending, idiotic questions. Journalism. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the current White House Press Secretary for this this
Speaker 1: absurd Biden administration just full of incompetence and idealogues. Here
Speaker 1: she is on the refusal to confirm there's a crisis
Speaker 1: at our southern border. Play nine. We've been very clear
Speaker 1: that there is an increase that there are more children
Speaker 1: coming across the border than we have facilities for at
Speaker 1: this point in time. Those numbers are tracked by the
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security, so I'm certainly I'm just suggesting
Speaker 1: that you talk to them about specifics of them. They
Speaker 1: won't from the numbers. Well, I would encourage you to
Speaker 1: go back to them and ask them again. We're not
Speaker 1: going to confirm them from the White House. It's not
Speaker 1: our program, it's the Department of Homemergency Department. Is the
Speaker 1: White House encouraging the department to release those numbers, and
Speaker 1: in the spirit of transparency to the secretary promise here,
Speaker 1: we certainly encourage transparency, but what I also think is
Speaker 1: important is to talk about what the root causes are
Speaker 1: here and what we're doing from a policy standpoint to
Speaker 1: try to address the challenges that we're facing and that
Speaker 1: these kids are facing as they come across the border,
Speaker 1: and not cool what does that even mean. They're asking
Speaker 1: you for numbers. The White House has the numbers, they're
Speaker 1: hiding the numbers. So this is the administration that we
Speaker 1: are promise was going to be about truth and transparency
Speaker 1: and on a major issue that affects the whole country,
Speaker 1: that affects the future of the United States, enormous, enormous
Speaker 1: impact on our politics, our culture, just everything about this country.
Speaker 1: I mean, the border and border security matters for everything.
Speaker 1: And yet we can't get a straight answer from them
Speaker 1: because here's what's very obvious. You know, part of being
Speaker 1: a leftist, it really is a cult. Leftism is a
Speaker 1: cult today. And you know how they used to say, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, Trump supporters, they're all really an a cult.
Speaker 1: Now look at what happened over four years with Trumpet office.
Speaker 1: What were the awful things that were going on with
Speaker 1: the Trumpet office When there was a border crisis. You
Speaker 1: know what, Trump said, there's a crisis, let's fix it.
Speaker 1: Let's do something about this. And Democrats actually try to
Speaker 1: stop him at every opportunity. They've restarted the crisis that
Speaker 1: began under Trump when we fixed it, right, this is
Speaker 1: the problem. It's like Trump patched up the hole in
Speaker 1: the dam. Democrats came along and said, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's put that. Let's let's put another hole in the dam.
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens. It's very obvious, it's very straightforward
Speaker 1: what's going on here. When people believe that they can
Speaker 1: stay in the United States if they come here illegally
Speaker 1: and there's a straightforward process for them to do it,
Speaker 1: they show up in large numbers because being in America
Speaker 1: is a better deal economically and otherwise than being in
Speaker 1: a handful of Latin American countries, Central American countries, a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of places all over the world. It's not
Speaker 1: just Central American migrants who are showing up the border,
Speaker 1: but it's predominantly that. Remember how I've been telling you,
Speaker 1: the cartels are making money off of this, and it
Speaker 1: might seem kind of counterintuitive. Can anyone just go to
Speaker 1: the border, not if you want to be reasonably or
Speaker 1: relatively speaking safe, not if you want to avoid being
Speaker 1: human trafficked or sexually assaulted or any of those things.
Speaker 1: So they're now finding that there are color coded wrist
Speaker 1: bands given to these migrants buy the cartels for paying
Speaker 1: the fee. This is big business for transnational drug cartels
Speaker 1: that create a tremendous amount of lawless and instability on
Speaker 1: our southern border. And in this country, what do you
Speaker 1: think US crime looks like? What does the homicide rate
Speaker 1: and incarceration look like in the United States without the
Speaker 1: drug trade and what happens without Mexican drug cartells supporting
Speaker 1: that supply, side that supply, what happens exactly? You definitely
Speaker 1: don't have over seventy five thousand people oding, which you
Speaker 1: had last year in twenty twenty. You definitely don't have
Speaker 1: that all time, all time record. So this is a
Speaker 1: crisis on multiple levels. They won't even say it. They
Speaker 1: won't speak truthfully to you about it. They're hiding the numbers.
Speaker 1: Go ask DHS. You're the White House Press Secretary, Saki,
Speaker 1: you ask DHS. So, okay, that's what's going on in
Speaker 1: the border. How are we doing with all the healing?
Speaker 1: You know, let's go down the report card here. How
Speaker 1: are we doing with all the healing from the Biden administration. Well,
Speaker 1: we've just seen the extension of over two thousand National
Speaker 1: Guard troops in DC. They're supposed to stay now for
Speaker 1: an additional two months because of the threat of the
Speaker 1: Q Anon coup. Not kidding. That's why they're there, because
Speaker 1: they really think that QAnon, who's you know, most violent
Speaker 1: incident today, did not actually involve that'd be the one
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill in January sixth. They didn't kill any cops,
Speaker 1: that's not true. They broke property, they trespassed, they assaulted officers,
Speaker 1: should be held accountable for any of the crimes committed.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't. It wasn't a violent insurrection by people
Speaker 1: armed and ready to murder and take over the United
Speaker 1: States government, which is what the mainstream media, the corporate media,
Speaker 1: has been saying now for months. That's just not true.
Speaker 1: It was a riot. But we have to have thousands
Speaker 1: of National Guard troops there and fencing and all this
Speaker 1: stuff all over DC because of the paranoia of Democrats
Speaker 1: are because they're showing us who's in charge. It's tough
Speaker 1: to tell whether this is because they feel so secure
Speaker 1: in their authoritarian mindset, you know, we can do whatever
Speaker 1: we want now, or there's such a great insecurity they
Speaker 1: feel like at any moment people will understand what a
Speaker 1: fraud the Democrat Party really is at its core. So
Speaker 1: that's what's going on our nation's capital in DC. We
Speaker 1: at one point nine trillion dollars of spending. Now that
Speaker 1: the Congress is passing without a single Republican vote, no bipartisanship.
Speaker 1: Oh but buck our Republicans. Bipartisan They did five COVID
Speaker 1: bills last year with Democrats. Five Democrats just figured we're
Speaker 1: going to get whatever we want. Are aware of the highway,
Speaker 1: deal with it. Elections have consequences, They have a will
Speaker 1: to power. You got to give them that. How's our
Speaker 1: respect for the rule of law going? Well, if you've
Speaker 1: been paying attention under this Biden administration to what's going
Speaker 1: on in say Minnesota, where already there seems to be
Speaker 1: preparation for massive riots based on the outcome of the
Speaker 1: Chauvin trial, the officers Chauvin trial there, and if you
Speaker 1: read the autopsy report guy. To say that authors Chauvin
Speaker 1: committed murder beyond a reasonable doubt is entirely unreasonable based
Speaker 1: on the autopsy report itself that says that he had
Speaker 1: more than anough fentonel and assistant to kill him, and
Speaker 1: the guy had multiple, multiple possible systemic failures that could
Speaker 1: have caused his death. But they're gonna say, oh, we
Speaker 1: have a country of oppression and racism. And so if
Speaker 1: that means whole neighborhoods in Minneapolis have to get burned
Speaker 1: down again, you know, Joe Biden will give some milktoast statement,
Speaker 1: He'll give some bullcrap. Oh, well, you know lawlessness. You
Speaker 1: know you have to respect their rule of law. Come up.
Speaker 1: But sometimes you got to burn down whole neighborhoods because
Speaker 1: you're angry because of the wokeness or whatever. That's we
Speaker 1: all know that's coming. Gas prices going up two trillion
Speaker 1: dollars is spending a Democrat wish list. Everyone's concerned about
Speaker 1: inflation now who pays any attention to macroeconomics at all?
Speaker 1: Where are things getting better? Oh? You could have a
Speaker 1: fourteen year old boy competing against your fourteen year old
Speaker 1: girl in sports now, or eighteen year old and eight
Speaker 1: you know age whatever. No Keystone XEL pipeline destroyed tens
Speaker 1: of thousands of jobs. What is getting better here? Exactly? Oh?
Speaker 1: The COVID plan that they have, which was just the
Speaker 1: Trump plan called something else essentially for vaccination. Look at
Speaker 1: the report, cud go down the list. What has Biden
Speaker 1: made better? What is better in the country right now?
Speaker 1: You don't have Trump's tweets. I don't think that's a
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a trade off that any emotionally sound,
Speaker 1: you know, mentally well person would make. But this is
Speaker 1: where we are. This is the person that they insisted
Speaker 1: was going to make the country so much better. We're
Speaker 1: almost two months in and so far he's made pretty
Speaker 1: much everything worse. I mean, I can't think of anything
Speaker 1: that is a Biden specific decision where you say, well,
Speaker 1: that's really going to help and his whole administration. Look
Speaker 1: at what's going on, all predictable, but they don't care
Speaker 1: because this is actually what they want. Ultimately, the problem
Speaker 1: we have in this right now is that we do
Speaker 1: not want the same future that the Democrat left does.
Speaker 1: We do not see this country the same way. We're
Speaker 1: not trying to get to the same place through different means.
Speaker 1: We actually want different things. And the only way that
Speaker 1: we can come back together is when both sides can
Speaker 1: live in some kind of objective reality and see things
Speaker 1: like the crisis at our southern border and say, okay,
Speaker 1: this is a big problem. Open borders is a bad idea.
Speaker 1: Democrats won't do that. Not really much we can do
Speaker 1: except try to take back power and force them to
Speaker 1: stop being crazy. But the border patrol told me that
Speaker 1: they did inform the bid administration and let them know
Speaker 1: that this influx was coming. So it's not as if
Speaker 1: the Body administration didn't know about it. It's not as
Speaker 1: if they didn't have time to get prepared for it.
Speaker 1: But it is clear they are completely unprepared for what
Speaker 1: it's going on the border now, and they're going to
Speaker 1: be even more unprepared for what will be happening in
Speaker 1: the coming months. What the border patrol told me, and
Speaker 1: this is actually part of the cartel strategy. Because of
Speaker 1: the volume of people coming across the border, the border
Speaker 1: patrol that makes the arrest that to engage quite literally
Speaker 1: in babysitting, and while they're doing babysitting, that provides an
Speaker 1: opportunity for the cartels to be able to bring other
Speaker 1: people across the border illegally. It's not a talking point.
Speaker 1: To say that there is rampant lawlessness now at our
Speaker 1: border is objective reality. I mentioned to you that the
Speaker 1: cartels are now giving color coded wristbands to show how
Speaker 1: much or witch cartel or you know that someone's paid
Speaker 1: up essentially and that way during their transit. They are
Speaker 1: at least theoretically not supposed to be sexually assaulted, kidnapped,
Speaker 1: not supposed to be ransomed. That's what it says. To
Speaker 1: give you a sense of how much control them Mexican
Speaker 1: authorities really have at their own border. The cartels are
Speaker 1: sending people with wristbands and showing that they're making a
Speaker 1: lot of money off of this process. The other part
Speaker 1: of it, and this is what Governor Abbert of Texas
Speaker 1: is referring to, is you have this is exactly a
Speaker 1: replay of what the situation in twenty and eighteen at
Speaker 1: our southern border, which Democrats will remember, what did Democrats do? Then?
Speaker 1: They blamed Trump, and they blamed Ice. They blamed the
Speaker 1: men and women of law enforcement and border patrol. Border
Speaker 1: patrol which is about twenty five or thirty percent veteran staffed,
Speaker 1: by the way, but they're saying all border patrols a
Speaker 1: bunch of evil, evil Nazis. They said horrible things about
Speaker 1: border patrol under the Trump administration. They blamed the system,
Speaker 1: the apparatus for all of this. But this is a
Speaker 1: straight up replay of that situation, and what it means
Speaker 1: is that you have people who are showing up to
Speaker 1: the border and they're surrendering sometimes twenty thirty, fifty, one
Speaker 1: hundred or more at a time. Well, if you have
Speaker 1: fifty people who show up in one group, in one
Speaker 1: border patrol sector, that requires manpower to take them, bring
Speaker 1: them in, process them, and border patrol just doesn't have it.
Speaker 1: What do you think who watches a busy sector of
Speaker 1: the US Mexico border Once you've had ten agents fifteen
Speaker 1: agents taken offline to process one hundred and fifty detentions.
Speaker 1: Because that's what this is. They're crossing, not at ports
Speaker 1: of entry. They show up and I've been there. You
Speaker 1: can see their place where you can just walk across
Speaker 1: the border. I mean, there's just it's it's like you're
Speaker 1: walking onto your neighbor's front yard and they they walk
Speaker 1: across the border. Border patrol sees them because they have
Speaker 1: sensors or they've got you know that, they've got all
Speaker 1: kinds of ways of monitoring what's going on. And then
Speaker 1: they drive over and they say okay, and then the
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's nothing you know, hostile or dangerous
Speaker 1: about these exchanges. It's just the people that show up.
Speaker 1: You're generally speaking, the people who show up are saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: I've got credible fear. They've got to get processed. And
Speaker 1: once that happens, you've got people that now have to
Speaker 1: take paperwork and they've got to go through all this stuff.
Speaker 1: And that means the car tells can just start running
Speaker 1: drugs across the border, opioids, whatever they want. Human trafficking,
Speaker 1: you know, child trafficking. Awful stuff going on. No one
Speaker 1: there right in the United States. You think this doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Where do you think the opioids that kill people all
Speaker 1: across the country come from? These days, they're not getting
Speaker 1: them really from pharmaceutical companies, not the same way they
Speaker 1: used to. Now what they get are pills that are
Speaker 1: made to look like pharmaceutical drugs from the cartels. The
Speaker 1: cartels do this purposefully because they think it raises their
Speaker 1: street value, and they're just making them in vats in Mexico.
Speaker 1: In fact, the precursor chemicals for this often come from China,
Speaker 1: So you've got Chinese chemicals arriving in Mexico, cartels using
Speaker 1: them making these ultra potent I mean, you take one,
Speaker 1: you can die. Ultrapotent opioids with who knows what kind
Speaker 1: of I mean, there's a quality control and they're distributing
Speaker 1: all across the United States. But there's no problem in
Speaker 1: our border. America's a nation of immigrants, right, That's what
Speaker 1: they'll They'll just start bleeding some nonsense. They won't deal
Speaker 1: with any of the problems. Yeah, we're not a nation
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants. That's actually not how this all was created.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, here we are. This is the reality that
Speaker 1: we face. I mean, who's actually even being turned back?
Speaker 1: The Biden administration keeps making it sound like, hold on,
Speaker 1: we're gonna process them. They're processing them for entry. That's
Speaker 1: why they're all showing up. They're not getting turned away.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows. Do you think if you've paid five hundred
Speaker 1: US or a thousand US to a cartel to be
Speaker 1: and it's usually a lot more than that, depends on
Speaker 1: where you're coming from. But if you're just paying the
Speaker 1: entry fee and getting the wristband, you think you haven't
Speaker 1: also talked to people about how you show up and
Speaker 1: say you have a credible fear of violence. Whole family
Speaker 1: units in El Salvador, whole family units in Honduras have
Speaker 1: a credible fear of violence from transnational gangs or their government. Well,
Speaker 1: then the whole country has that fear. That's not specific
Speaker 1: to them. Anybody could say that. This should be like
Speaker 1: somebody from you know, from Detroit showing up in your
Speaker 1: hometown or somebody from Chicago in your hotel hometown and saying,
Speaker 1: I have a credible fear of violence, so you have
Speaker 1: to give me a house. Now, Well, why do you
Speaker 1: have a credible fear of Oh, because you come from
Speaker 1: a city where there's violence. I mean, that's true a
Speaker 1: lot of people. It's madness, madness what's going on right now.
Speaker 1: And the Democrats they're just trying to They're just trying
Speaker 1: to shuffle things around and hopefully people don't figure out
Speaker 1: that Biden has kicked the border wide open. And that's
Speaker 1: what that's what we are seeing. I talked to the
Speaker 1: folks on the border regularly. That's just not true. They
Speaker 1: are letting basically everybody in. They're not turning away people
Speaker 1: right now. They're turning away a few, but Undertitle forty two.
Speaker 1: But they're letting people in and they're citing them and
Speaker 1: releasing them. And that's what's happening here. They know there's
Speaker 1: a huge problem. That's why they a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago they opened up They anticipated this search, that's why
Speaker 1: they opened up additional facility. These I've seen some of
Speaker 1: those facilities. When they were there was nobody in them.
Speaker 1: Those are now full, and they're gonna keep getting full
Speaker 1: more and morseful. And just think about this. We're already
Speaker 1: almost at the same level that the highest level of
Speaker 1: apprehensions we ever did in the twenty nineteenth searge took place.
Speaker 1: That's where we are now, and we're not doing anything
Speaker 1: to slow it down. In fact, they're actually continuing to
Speaker 1: encourage people to come across. Why are they coming across
Speaker 1: right now? What changed? Well, I know they'll point a
Speaker 1: lot of things. I'll say, well, COVID is dying down now,
Speaker 1: or they'll say that there were a couple of hurricanes.
Speaker 1: I saw Jen Psaki say that there are all these
Speaker 1: different theories out there. But the timing of it is
Speaker 1: really suspicions, isn't it. Joe Biden becomes president and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, huge numbers of illegal immigrants at what
Speaker 1: was clearly a crisis, considered a crisis in the past,
Speaker 1: huge number of legal immigrants are showing up at the border,
Speaker 1: and why would this stop? Think about this. The Biden
Speaker 1: administration will fundamentally not enforcemigration law in a way that
Speaker 1: prevents people from gaming the system to get access to
Speaker 1: the country when they're under our law is not supposed
Speaker 1: to rights. That's what's going on here. They won't do it.
Speaker 1: They're not actually going to enforce the law. So why
Speaker 1: would why would this stop? It's not going to anytime soon.
Speaker 1: And you know, but eventually, the only way it stops
Speaker 1: is if there is some either penalty or some deterrent
Speaker 1: for showing up and claiming asylum in this way and
Speaker 1: then getting gaining entry in the United States. But this
Speaker 1: is the best I've said it before. This is the
Speaker 1: best time ever for a person who wants to be
Speaker 1: in the United States and doesn't want to have to
Speaker 1: go through our legal immigration process in good faith. All
Speaker 1: you really have to do is show up now and
Speaker 1: then just wait it out until you get to a
Speaker 1: place of you get to a place where you can
Speaker 1: get amnesty, which is what they're all hoping for here. Now,
Speaker 1: I want to talk more about the the wokeness cult,
Speaker 1: right because, for one thing, if you discuss immigration at all,
Speaker 1: you know why this doesn't bother. So many people on
Speaker 1: the left or some of the elites, for one, they
Speaker 1: like cheap labor. They generally like that idea. They want
Speaker 1: the Democrats to have more votes, and they can just
Speaker 1: retreat back into this this psychological safe space for themselves
Speaker 1: where they'll just say, we we don't care what you
Speaker 1: say about the border. It's racist to have a problem
Speaker 1: with massive illegal immigration. That's what they'll say. That's what
Speaker 1: they'll tell you. They won't even engage on the issue.
Speaker 1: It's just a race issue, that's what they'll say. Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's people from all over the world showing
Speaker 1: up illegally at the border, and we wouldn't want people
Speaker 1: illegally coming in from any kind. But they won't. They
Speaker 1: won't accept that. They won't accept that at all. And
Speaker 1: once you understand how little room there is for dissent
Speaker 1: or disagreement on the with the woke left, you start
Speaker 1: to understand how we've gotten to this point where we
Speaker 1: have a de facto open border, where we have the
Speaker 1: open censorship of the most powerful media companies. Social media companies. Remember,
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be platforms for every person. That's what
Speaker 1: they were built on, founded on that was the central
Speaker 1: promise was that everybody could have a voice online, everybody
Speaker 1: can talk to each other and have their presence. And
Speaker 1: now that they've gotten ultra powerful, they go, actually, we're
Speaker 1: gonna stop that whole thing. There was no principle involved.
Speaker 1: We're gonna shut you down, question fauci, We're gonna shut
Speaker 1: you down, question the election. We're gonna shut you down.
Speaker 1: That's what they do. Now. Anybody who has had a classical,
Speaker 1: small l liberal education would see this and think that
Speaker 1: this is atrocious. They'd see this and they would assume
Speaker 1: that there must be a tremendous backlash against this from
Speaker 1: people who even call themselves liberals in the contemporary American sense.
Speaker 1: But that's not what's happening. I think we're seeing now
Speaker 1: there's an awakening of the concer servative mind. There's awakening
Speaker 1: of the reasonable rational mindset in America, where you see
Speaker 1: they don't care about double standards, they don't care about
Speaker 1: these these things that these expressions like freedom of speech
Speaker 1: and the First Amendment of all this, these are just
Speaker 1: slogans that they were willing to mouth when they had to.
Speaker 1: You know, these are just slogans that they would say,
Speaker 1: and they didn't really mean it, And now it's their
Speaker 1: turn in their eyes. Now they're the dominant force in
Speaker 1: America today culturally for corporations in politics right now, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna just just ram it down our throats. That's
Speaker 1: their attitude, doesn't matter what. They don't care about hypocrisy,
Speaker 1: They don't care about double standards. In fact, they revel
Speaker 1: in hypocrisy. The woke left thinks that being hypocritical is
Speaker 1: a privilege of the powerful. They love it. What are
Speaker 1: you gonna do about it? Conservatives? That's their attitude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we want to crush the GLP forever. What now. They
Speaker 1: don't worry about fair play or good faith or any
Speaker 1: of these things. That none of that comes into the conversation.
Speaker 1: That's for chumps. That stuff's laughable, right, Just to remember
Speaker 1: Frank Herbert, Children of Dune. When I am weak, you know,
Speaker 1: I ask for freedom because that is according to your principles.
Speaker 1: When I am strong, I demand obedience because that is
Speaker 1: according to my principles. That is really the central ethos
Speaker 1: of the American left today. When they're in power, it's
Speaker 1: shut up and do what you're told or else. When
Speaker 1: they're out of power, it's hold on a second, you
Speaker 1: guys promise that we could have the free exchange of
Speaker 1: ideas and that there are core principles that bind us
Speaker 1: together as a people in the Constitution, and blah blah blah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all that seems gone out, doesn't it. It's just whatever
Speaker 1: they can get away with, whatever they want, however they
Speaker 1: want to do things. And you particularly see this with
Speaker 1: the wokeness cult in schools. And there is a piece
Speaker 1: I don't often tell you you really should read the following,
Speaker 1: but there's a piece by Barry Weiss, who was at
Speaker 1: the New York Times. She's a liberal or you know,
Speaker 1: a center left person. She's a Democrat for sure. She
Speaker 1: was the New York Times. She left because she realized
Speaker 1: that the New York Times you weren't really allowed to
Speaker 1: publish alternative points of view on the op ed page.
Speaker 1: Think about that. I mean this, if you want a metaphor,
Speaker 1: or if you want just clear symbolism of how far
Speaker 1: the intellectual left has fallen from pretending to have any
Speaker 1: actual principles or anything that they believe in other than
Speaker 1: the raw exercise of power and the self gratification, the
Speaker 1: gratification of their emotional impulses. As members of this cult.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is look at the fact
Speaker 1: that you can't even publish opposing opinions on the op
Speaker 1: ed page. Can't do it, risk your career. Just ask
Speaker 1: anybody who published Senator Tom Cotton about sending the National Guard.
Speaker 1: Hold on a second, they send in the National Guard. Oh,
Speaker 1: but they did it because of qan On. Not allowed
Speaker 1: to do it because of the rioting BLM lunatics. Can't
Speaker 1: do it. Can't do that. No National Guard. You know
Speaker 1: they're trying to burn a church down across in the
Speaker 1: White House. Can't actually send to the National Guard for that.
Speaker 1: Starting to see a pattern here, aren't you raw exercise
Speaker 1: of power? No principles even worth discussing with the other side.
Speaker 1: They don't care. And once you get into the wokeness
Speaker 1: cult in schools, you see just how intellectually and morally
Speaker 1: decrepit the left has become, and how absurd. And they're
Speaker 1: poisoning our culture. They're poisoning our society, and they're doing
Speaker 1: it in the places where they believe they get the
Speaker 1: most bang for the buck. They're going to have the
Speaker 1: most cultural and economic and political influence over the long term.
Speaker 1: They are rotting these institutions, they are rotting the people
Speaker 1: who go to them, these elite schools, rotting their brains
Speaker 1: from the inside. We have not even the beginnings of
Speaker 1: a counter movement to this. We have not even the
Speaker 1: beginnings of really the pushback that is necessary here. This
Speaker 1: is a threat to our sense of America, the country
Speaker 1: that we think we live in. This wokeness cult goes
Speaker 1: to the very core of it and in a way
Speaker 1: where it destabilizes it on purpose and seeks to eliminate
Speaker 1: and remove some of those well, the shared bonds, shared history,
Speaker 1: shared sense of what this place is all about. The
Speaker 1: idea of America itself is under assault from the wokeness cult.
Speaker 1: And these are powerful individuals and institutions that are getting
Speaker 1: their way. I mean in ways that I've never even
Speaker 1: seen before. I mean, you can't he can't even begin
Speaker 1: to catalog all the different pressures and all the different
Speaker 1: chilling effects are happening right now in our society. Because
Speaker 1: the people who are in charge are a bunch of
Speaker 1: powermad cry babies who want things the way they want them.
Speaker 1: They all want to pretend to be victims. They all
Speaker 1: want to pretend that they're brave and good and courageous
Speaker 1: when they're actually a bunch of mob minded, petty cowards.
Speaker 1: That's what's actually happening in the country, and what's going
Speaker 1: on in the elite schools is perhaps the best example
Speaker 1: of it you can find right now, alongside the social
Speaker 1: media brown shirts that are running around locking down people's
Speaker 1: accounts and not allowing them to even converse. To speak
Speaker 1: against this is to put all of your moral capital
Speaker 1: at risk. That's a line from this Barry Weiss's piece
Speaker 1: at a City Journal, which is just an amazing deep
Speaker 1: dive into what the title is here, the miseducation of
Speaker 1: America's elites, and how you have parents who are very wealthy.
Speaker 1: These are wealthy, high educated, in some cases over educated
Speaker 1: parents who are saying they're brainwashing my kids to believe
Speaker 1: crazy stuff like what is going on here? What the
Speaker 1: heck is this? And the piece goes into this very
Speaker 1: wise piece goes into some detail about what this actually
Speaker 1: means and understand the same way that college ideology has
Speaker 1: now made its way to the most powerful companies c suites,
Speaker 1: has made its way into the oval office of the
Speaker 1: White House is now the preferred ideology. And then the
Speaker 1: way that people speak at the top of the Democrat
Speaker 1: Party is in line with the kind of nonsense you
Speaker 1: would have heard at a left wing college campus rally
Speaker 1: twenty years ago or ten years ago. Now it's everywhere.
Speaker 1: The colleges are laboratories for lunacy. But now high schools are,
Speaker 1: and this is pointed out in the piece. High schools
Speaker 1: are the preparation grounds for that. Right. There are prep
Speaker 1: schools in this case, that's what they actually call them,
Speaker 1: but they are preparing them to join the wokeness cult.
Speaker 1: Here is some of these lines, I mean, some of
Speaker 1: the stuff that's written in here, and it's all true.
Speaker 1: I actually know some of the schools that are written
Speaker 1: about in this. I know some of them here in
Speaker 1: New York. My own sisters and mother's school is one
Speaker 1: of the crazy places, one of the prep schools that
Speaker 1: is called out here. So yeah, parents who have spoken
Speaker 1: out this is a quote against this ideology, even in
Speaker 1: private ways, say it hasn't gone over. Well. I had
Speaker 1: a conversation with a friend that I asked him, is
Speaker 1: there anything about this movement we should question? Said a
Speaker 1: father with children in two prep schools in Manhattan, And
Speaker 1: he said, dude, that's dangerous ground you're on in our friendship.
Speaker 1: I've had enough of those conversations to know what happens. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. The Wokeness cult members, they're cowards. I mean inherently,
Speaker 1: you can't actually believe this stuff and not be a coward,
Speaker 1: because you have to suppress the voices in your head
Speaker 1: that are saying this doesn't make sense, this isn't full,
Speaker 1: this isn't true. So you're already a moral coward. And
Speaker 1: when you add on top of that and unwillingness to
Speaker 1: confront what this is really doing in the broader society,
Speaker 1: then you have just coward us across the board goes
Speaker 1: on here. The fear is shared deeply by the children.
Speaker 1: For them, it's not just the fear of getting a
Speaker 1: bad grade or getting turned down for a college recommendation,
Speaker 1: though that fear is potent. It's the fear of social shaming.
Speaker 1: If you publish my name, it would ruin my life.
Speaker 1: People would attack me for even questioning this ideology. I
Speaker 1: don't even want people knowing I'm a capitalist. A student
Speaker 1: at the Fieldston School in New York City told Barry Weiss,
Speaker 1: in a comment echoed by other students, the kids are
Speaker 1: scared of other kids. One mother says, that's at Harvard
Speaker 1: Westlake for our you know, for those out listening in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Harvard Westlake. Yeah, unbelievable, friends, that this is
Speaker 1: what we are up against. Unbelievable. But this is where
Speaker 1: it is. This is what's actually happening. You speak out
Speaker 1: against us, think about it this way, if, however old,
Speaker 1: your child is anywhere in the country right now, if
Speaker 1: your child speaks out in favor of I don't know,
Speaker 1: traditional American values or something, and another student, even in
Speaker 1: the class public, you know, puts online that your child
Speaker 1: is a racist. That may ruin your kid's life. I mean,
Speaker 1: that may actually prevent your kid from being able to
Speaker 1: get into college or get a job, or that could
Speaker 1: follow him or her around forever. That's the kind of
Speaker 1: really fascistic control. And this is where you start to see,
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bolsheviks and the fascist you start to
Speaker 1: see some of the similarity and mentality. Anything they want
Speaker 1: to do is justified. Any destruction is just the cost
Speaker 1: of doing business. Everything is their business. Shut up or else.
Speaker 1: That's the feeling that people now have in this country
Speaker 1: who just don't agree with this stuff, and in some
Speaker 1: cases don't agree with what's obviously untrue. I mean, now
Speaker 1: you know now the statement that only women, only women
Speaker 1: can get pregnant to have babies. Now that statement is
Speaker 1: considered untrue, and if you say it, you're a bad person.
Speaker 1: Now math is racist. As you know, math is racist.
Speaker 1: There's a whole movement that says that math is racist
Speaker 1: because the underlying principle that there can be a right
Speaker 1: and wrong answer, and therefore there can be people better
Speaker 1: at something than other people are at something, that there
Speaker 1: can be a meritocracy, that that whole concept, that framework
Speaker 1: of you know, achievement in any context can be put
Speaker 1: into a context where it oppresses people, and therefore math
Speaker 1: is racist. You'd say, hold on, that doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 1: That's math is racist, or can be. That's what they're
Speaker 1: telling you. Goes on in this piece. The atmosphere is
Speaker 1: making children anxious, paranoid, even insecure and closed off from
Speaker 1: their close friends. Quote my son knew I was talking
Speaker 1: to you, and he begged me not to. This is
Speaker 1: about the author another Harvard Westlake mother told me he
Speaker 1: wants to go to a great university, and he told
Speaker 1: me that one bad statement from me will ruin us.
Speaker 1: This is the United States of America? Are you freaking
Speaker 1: kidding me? End quote? It's all true one one hint
Speaker 1: that you challenge the wokeness. And remember this is not
Speaker 1: I think we've gotten used to conservatives in the media.
Speaker 1: We all say, oh, we're being hounded. Oh we're being undermined.
Speaker 1: It's not fair, we're censored. That's all true, and we are.
Speaker 1: But now it's you. Now you can't say wherever you
Speaker 1: are listening to this anywhere. You risk your future, your
Speaker 1: child's future by saying, I don't really think we should
Speaker 1: give up Shakespeare for white fragility on the reading list.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think that makes you say that
Speaker 1: at your peril now and the stuff that is just
Speaker 1: becoming clear. This is another great quote from his piece,
Speaker 1: I am in a cult. Well that's not exactly right.
Speaker 1: It's that the cult is all around me, and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to save kids from becoming members. Sounds like a
Speaker 1: scientology defector, but he's a math teacher and one of
Speaker 1: the most elite high schools in New York City. He
Speaker 1: is not politically conservative, he says, but I studied critical theory.
Speaker 1: I saw Durita speak when I was in college. So
Speaker 1: when this ideology arrived at our school of the past
Speaker 1: few years, I recognized the language. I knew what it was,
Speaker 1: but it was in mutated form. This is radical leftism
Speaker 1: now as the mandated orthodoxy in the most elite schools
Speaker 1: in the country. That is what is going on in
Speaker 1: America today. That's what we see happening. The city of
Speaker 1: Minneapolis preparing for serious unrest another word for riots as
Speaker 1: a result of the officer Derek Chauvin trial, which is
Speaker 1: now underway. They've got jury selection happening here. Let's bring
Speaker 1: in our friend John Cardiller to talk about this. He's
Speaker 1: a former NYPD member and also conservative commentator, radio and
Speaker 1: TV host. John. Great to have you back. Always good
Speaker 1: to talk to you, my friend. How are you. I'm
Speaker 1: all right. What are you seeing so far? I mean,
Speaker 1: one thing from the jury selection that was very clear
Speaker 1: is that there are people who are deeply concerned about
Speaker 1: their safety for serving on the jury. Yeah. Look, I've
Speaker 1: got two observations here. One is that I'm a little
Speaker 1: concerned about the fact that there was no change of venue.
Speaker 1: I don't believe Chauvin can get a fair trial in
Speaker 1: Minneapolis or the Minneapolis area. In fact, when you I
Speaker 1: was watching a bit of jury selection following it. Most
Speaker 1: of the jurors know of this case. They know the
Speaker 1: case intimately. I don't think there's anybody in the country
Speaker 1: that doesn't know this case. I mean, George Floyd became
Speaker 1: a household name sort at. Jovin essentially shut our nation down.
Speaker 1: There was civil unrest in multiple cities. Second, would bothers
Speaker 1: me is why Chauvin's lawyers opted for a jury trial
Speaker 1: and not a bench trial, because typically judges, they're non
Speaker 1: emotional in these things. Cops typically fair better depending on
Speaker 1: and look, justice needs to shake out on the evidence,
Speaker 1: but judges will typically rule on the evidence because they
Speaker 1: don't want to be overturned down the road. And and and
Speaker 1: this is you know this, look this is still uh
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, you're going to have relatively moderate to right
Speaker 1: leaning appeals court judges. And so Chauvin would have done
Speaker 1: in my opinion anyway, I mean, I watched a lot
Speaker 1: of cops go to trial, and I can't recall, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe more than five percent of them taking a jury trial,
Speaker 1: opting for a jig trial. It's very surprised they didn't
Speaker 1: go with the bench trial. But again, the jurors are
Speaker 1: going to be in danger here. If it's not physical danger,
Speaker 1: they're going to be docked their addresses there, there are
Speaker 1: places of work are going to be put out there,
Speaker 1: They're going to be harassed. I was shocked that there
Speaker 1: wasn't a change of venue in this trial. I don't
Speaker 1: see how that can be fair in any way, shape
Speaker 1: or form to the defendant. Do you feel like there's
Speaker 1: concern that that Chauvin just doesn't have competent counsel, You know,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case. I just think that,
Speaker 1: you know, it's been it's been the trend where these lawyers.
Speaker 1: We saw this all through the Muller investigation. We saw
Speaker 1: it with General Flynn's initial counsel, Rogers Stone's initial. These
Speaker 1: lawyers have to exist with these prosecutors, so they play
Speaker 1: a little nicer. I mean, there are a few really
Speaker 1: good attorneys out there, guys like Mark mcazy will fight
Speaker 1: the federal government and when, but those guys are really
Speaker 1: few and far between. They've built enough of a name
Speaker 1: for themselves where they can go out on their own.
Speaker 1: They're powerful enough, you know. And a guy like mcazy's
Speaker 1: cases dad was in AG He was a high ranking
Speaker 1: guy in the US Attorney's office in the Southern District.
Speaker 1: But there aren't many of them, and so these lawyers
Speaker 1: tend to play nicer than they need to with the
Speaker 1: judges and prosecutors because luck Chauvin's a high profile case,
Speaker 1: but their next case might be a dui and they
Speaker 1: don't want to see that guy run through the ringer
Speaker 1: out of some kind of vindication against retribution against them
Speaker 1: by the prosecutors by the judges. Our system is fundamentally
Speaker 1: flawed in that respect. I think you know, judges work
Speaker 1: for the government, right They're being paid by the same
Speaker 1: people the prosecutors are being paid by. So you've got
Speaker 1: to be really careful when you have an emotionally charged
Speaker 1: trial like this, such a high be called in law enforcement.
Speaker 1: You know there's a press case. What would be your
Speaker 1: I mean, if you were defense counsel or let's say
Speaker 1: you were brought in as this would be even be
Speaker 1: more likely to happen, right if you if you were
Speaker 1: brought in as an expert witness for the defense. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you've read I've read the actual coroners report and
Speaker 1: toxicology report that's out there. How would you make the
Speaker 1: defense case for officers Chauvin based on the facts that
Speaker 1: have been presented up to this point. Well, there's one
Speaker 1: other element that's not getting much pressed, but we'll understand why,
Speaker 1: and that the knee on the neck restraint was an
Speaker 1: approved restraint by the Minneapolis Police Department. So the argument
Speaker 1: is did Chauvin apply it for too long? But when
Speaker 1: you combine the fact with it having been an approved
Speaker 1: restraint something this guy was taught in the police academy
Speaker 1: and told you're allowed to do this. When you combine
Speaker 1: that with the meth and defence ATL on the other
Speaker 1: narcotics employd's system, I don't see forget that I was
Speaker 1: a college buck, just as an American citizen who wants
Speaker 1: to see fair justice. I don't see how you don't
Speaker 1: have reasonable doubt that Chauvin, that Chauvin's actions killed George Floyd.
Speaker 1: The guy had looked deadly, I mean deadly levels of
Speaker 1: fentanel in his system, a downer mixed with mettan fhetamine,
Speaker 1: an upper that's got your heart and your central nervous
Speaker 1: system doing all kinds of crazy things. Now, the guys
Speaker 1: using an approved restraint, we don't know if Chauvin was
Speaker 1: continuing that restraint because of Floyd's erratic behavior at that
Speaker 1: close intimate level. There's so much doubt here. I don't
Speaker 1: see how they get a conviction. And I think lastly,
Speaker 1: he was overcharged. I think the murder charge is too
Speaker 1: high of a charge. I don't think prosecuted meet that bar.
Speaker 1: We're speaking of John Cardillo, formerly of the NYPD. He's
Speaker 1: a conservative commentator, TV and radio host. And John, I mean,
Speaker 1: we're all expecting. I think there's nobody out there you
Speaker 1: can even see what the City of Minneapolis is doing
Speaker 1: right now, expecting that this could get very ugly, very quickly.
Speaker 1: And one thing that I believe everybody needs to be
Speaker 1: prepared for is that even if let's say there's a
Speaker 1: manslaughter conviction so on the lesser charge than the than
Speaker 1: the murder two they've they've put on there. And to me,
Speaker 1: a murder two is just clear overcharging. And when you
Speaker 1: see the justice system do something like that, really to
Speaker 1: to just mollify the mob at some level, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: to make them feel like things are getting a little
Speaker 1: better for some reason. That's disconcerting in and of itself.
Speaker 1: But even if there is a manslaughter conviction, it feels
Speaker 1: to me like there could there could still be riots
Speaker 1: and major unrest. Oh, there's definitely gonna be. And look
Speaker 1: overcharging is a chronic problem in prosecutor's office is because
Speaker 1: they want to you know, they want to swing for defences.
Speaker 1: So take police cases out of this, the ones that
Speaker 1: cause riots. When Casey Anthony was charged with second degree
Speaker 1: murder for killing her her daughter, I was sitting with
Speaker 1: a good friend of mine. He's a very good criminal
Speaker 1: defense attorney here in Miami, a former prosecutor, and his
Speaker 1: wife's a judge, and we looked at each other. We said,
Speaker 1: she's gonna walk. That is an not meet the bar
Speaker 1: for murder two in Florida. But these prosecutors want these
Speaker 1: big cases with these big charges and hopefully these big
Speaker 1: guilty convictions and long sentences, and so they swing for
Speaker 1: the fences. But we know this, right, I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're a sports fan, you know the guys who are
Speaker 1: the home run hitters also have the most strikeouts, and
Speaker 1: so I think they're heading down that road. But yeah, well,
Speaker 1: no matter what happens here, if they convicted this guy
Speaker 1: of capital murdered, they're gonna riot because they're gonna say
Speaker 1: see it was capital murder and the cops are vicious killers.
Speaker 1: Let's riot. If he's a quidditie, they're gonna riot. See
Speaker 1: it's unfair justice a white cop killed the black guy.
Speaker 1: If it's manslaughter, well all they charged too little, We're
Speaker 1: gonna riot. I don't think there's any escaping riots because
Speaker 1: that Black Lives Matter Antifa mob have been told you
Speaker 1: have permission to riot if the wind changes direction, you
Speaker 1: have permission to loop and steal and murder and destroy
Speaker 1: because you're the left and you've been aggrieved and you're
Speaker 1: people of color, and YadA, YadA, YadA, and so I
Speaker 1: really just feel bad for the residents and the merchants
Speaker 1: in that city because they're gonna be the ones who
Speaker 1: suffer at the end. John, I also want to ask
Speaker 1: about the extension now of I think it's about twenty
Speaker 1: three or twenty four hundred National Guard deployed around our capital.
Speaker 1: And you know that's that's a serious deployment. I mean
Speaker 1: people have been pointing out it's it's more than than
Speaker 1: we have in some countries that we consider combat zones deployed. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is this is a serious number of troops they're
Speaker 1: extending it for two months. I sit here. I sit here,
Speaker 1: and I say, when do people just realize how absurd
Speaker 1: and actually ominous in its own way it has become
Speaker 1: that the new Democrat, the Democrats in charge, this new
Speaker 1: Biden administration, are willing to do something so absurd but
Speaker 1: also so menacing and and unnecessary. Oh, it's reprehensible, It's disgusting, right.
Speaker 1: But I think a lot of this is Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 1: and that lunatic that that former General Russell Honore, who's
Speaker 1: outed himself as a far leftist, almost a radical. He
Speaker 1: calls conservatives. I mean, he thinks if you're a conservative
Speaker 1: voted for Donald Trump. Now, I think this guy thinks
Speaker 1: if you voted for Mitt Romney, you're some kind of
Speaker 1: insurrectionist extremists. I mean, I can't think of a worst guy. Now. Listen,
Speaker 1: when he ran the operation during Katrina, I thought he
Speaker 1: was a bit of a blowhard. But I said, okay,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that's his style. He's a cage and
Speaker 1: he's a general. He came out on the horse. But
Speaker 1: after seeing his statements of late, this guy's unfit to
Speaker 1: be in the position as the as the head of
Speaker 1: the panel deciding what security around the capital needs to
Speaker 1: be I think this is the most Unamerican thing I've
Speaker 1: seen in a very long time. We have a First
Speaker 1: Amendment right to petition our government with our grievances. It's
Speaker 1: enshrined in the Constitution. And now we're being told not
Speaker 1: only can't we do it, but if we attempt to
Speaker 1: do it on the steps of the capital, we might
Speaker 1: get sliced by razor wire or shot by armed troops.
Speaker 1: But I can't think of anything more an American. I
Speaker 1: remember when even The Mirror mentioned of National Guard while
Speaker 1: they were active ongoing riots in Washington, d C. With
Speaker 1: ongoing violence against members of law enforcement. And this was
Speaker 1: also part of a movement as we know BLM and
Speaker 1: Antifa across the country. That remember Tom Cotton's op ed
Speaker 1: in the New York Times, you know, send sending the
Speaker 1: Guard that that was They said that that was tantamount
Speaker 1: to violence, that they was calling for violence against against
Speaker 1: people of color by saying that there should be National
Speaker 1: Guard deployed to stop riots in DC. Now they've got
Speaker 1: the National Guard. They're deployed like the parks Police or something,
Speaker 1: just making sure that nobody's littering. It's crazy. Oh, they
Speaker 1: wanted to treat a cotton like he was heinrich Himler,
Speaker 1: bringing in the SS. I mean, he was vilified. They
Speaker 1: wanted to kick him out of Congress. They wanted to
Speaker 1: see this guy excoriated his family, shame for generations. Biden
Speaker 1: doesn't and it's me. And then this guy Russell Honorey
Speaker 1: comes out and the media is celebrating him as if
Speaker 1: he's some national heroes and savior. I think this guy's
Speaker 1: a tyrannical lunatic who knew needs to be in a
Speaker 1: mental asylum for his comments. This is insanity. I mean,
Speaker 1: you've got a president doesn't even know the name. You
Speaker 1: saw that clip that's floating. He didn't even know the
Speaker 1: name of his own secretary of defense. I mean, clearly,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is not making these calls. Somebody is making
Speaker 1: these calls. And I think these calls are dangerous. It
Speaker 1: might be nance because he asked her permission. Biden did
Speaker 1: if he was allowed to take more questions on his
Speaker 1: virtual town hall, whatever that charade was. But Pelosi and
Speaker 1: this guy honor Ay, that's a scary combination. And this
Speaker 1: isn't me being rhetorical. This isn't me being hyperbolic. These
Speaker 1: people despise the right. They would love to see us
Speaker 1: dead or in prison. And twenty five hundred armed troops
Speaker 1: around the nation's capital in front of him, behind razor wire,
Speaker 1: the optic that's sending to our enemies that America is
Speaker 1: not America anymore. This is a national security as well
Speaker 1: as a domestic security issue. Who do you think, John,
Speaker 1: before let you go is the most Who is really
Speaker 1: the most powerful voice in this Biden administration? Barack Obama
Speaker 1: easily hands on Barack Obama. I think he's the public
Speaker 1: master of all this behind the strings. We're seeing Obama's
Speaker 1: third term. Just look, you and I have said this
Speaker 1: how many times on social media and when we're out socializing.
Speaker 1: Personnel is policy Biden's administration, ninety percent of it our
Speaker 1: Obama administration appointees. This is Barack Obama's third term. If
Speaker 1: I had a point to one person who's the most
Speaker 1: powerful voice in the Biden administration, I'd say Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: John Kardilla, everybody follow him on Twitter and social media. Well,
Speaker 1: while you're still ken true of both of us, before
Speaker 1: we all before the purge gets us too, John, Great
Speaker 1: to see you man, Thanks so much take care, But
Speaker 1: I think one of the worst legacies of the Obama
Speaker 1: presidency was the politicization of the Department of Justice during
Speaker 1: the eight years of the Obama Biden presidency. The Department
Speaker 1: of Justice has a long history of being a political
Speaker 1: of exercising fidelity the law of not being used as
Speaker 1: a partisan weapon to target the enemies whichever administration is
Speaker 1: in power. The Obama Biden administration corrupted that process and
Speaker 1: we are still dealing with the consequences. I believe appointees
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice should have a demonstrated record of
Speaker 1: fidelity to law and impartiality and ability to defend the
Speaker 1: rule of law. Miss Gupta, as I look at your record,
Speaker 1: your record is one of an extreme partisan advocate. Your
Speaker 1: record is an idealogue. Now there's a role in our
Speaker 1: democratic and political process for idealogs for people that are
Speaker 1: extreme radical advocates. That role, I believe, is not being
Speaker 1: the number three lawyer at the Department of Justice in
Speaker 1: charge of the impartial and fair administration of justice. Ted
Speaker 1: Cruz pointing out something that we should all understand at
Speaker 1: this point and know that we have to do something
Speaker 1: about it, and that is the weaponization of the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice for left wing progressive ends that the Democrats
Speaker 1: do this. This is how they conduct themselves when they can.
Speaker 1: And it's remarkable, actually, somehow the DOJ is weaponized against
Speaker 1: Republicans when there is a Republican president, Donald Trump. The
Speaker 1: Special Council, you know, that's what they did. They managed
Speaker 1: to turn turn a portion of the DOJ against Trump
Speaker 1: while it was Trump's DOJ. And then once they get
Speaker 1: back in power or the Democrat administration, guess what now
Speaker 1: they really go after conservatives and also just chase all
Speaker 1: kinds of issues that are important to the activists left,
Speaker 1: and they distort the law right in areas where the
Speaker 1: law and the practices of or in areas where the
Speaker 1: law and the practice of it without of you to
Speaker 1: politics should be very clear. The Democrats no longer recognize
Speaker 1: that separation whatsoever. And you have a few candidates here,
Speaker 1: Associate Attorney General Venita Gupta for example, who has now
Speaker 1: apologized for tweets in the past. You have people that,
Speaker 1: it's it's very clear, have extreme points of view, but
Speaker 1: then they want government power and we're told they no
Speaker 1: longer have these points of view. And it's it's stunning
Speaker 1: that we're supposed to believe that, or that they're here's
Speaker 1: a fundamental lie of progressives in power, that they can
Speaker 1: be activists, that they can be partisans their whole lives,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, when there's the chance
Speaker 1: to have the force of government at their disposal, they're
Speaker 1: going to be fair minded and we can trust them.
Speaker 1: We can't. That's just the truth. We can't. And so
Speaker 1: that was that was Ted Cruise off. Remember Ted Cruz
Speaker 1: so racist. The Democrats always say Ted Cruise is Latino.
Speaker 1: They always they always somehow pretend that that doesn't mean it. Oh,
Speaker 1: Ted Cruise is Latino. But he's so racist, right because
Speaker 1: they pretend like he's he's himself not a minority and
Speaker 1: in fact a child of immigrants. Right, they ignore that
Speaker 1: whole part of his background. It doesn't count for some reason.
Speaker 1: But he's talking to Vinita Gupta, heredoj Nowmani, Venita Gupta.
Speaker 1: That was that that SoundBite we played for you, m
Speaker 1: She's up for the third ranking position in the Justice Department,
Speaker 1: and she she's trying to apologize for highly hyper partisan
Speaker 1: tweets and saying, oh, no, I swear I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: you know, fair minded and honest or whatever. And you
Speaker 1: know she's she's somebody who you have to ask, are
Speaker 1: you going to defund the police? And she says she
Speaker 1: doesn't want to defund the police, but you look at
Speaker 1: her tweets, and she took very partisan stands and near
Speaker 1: a Tandon who was also a hyperpartisan. She was going
Speaker 1: to lead omb she actually the finally the Senate said Nope, sorry,
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. So it's it's amazing, of course we've
Speaker 1: got Oh and there's another DOJ hopeful here. The first.
Speaker 1: She'd be the first black woman to be to lead
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice a civil rights division. Name is
Speaker 1: Kirstin Clark, and and Ted Cruz has concerns, actually spoke
Speaker 1: to Ted about it earlier this week. Ted Cruz has
Speaker 1: concerns about her and her fairness and her reasonableness and
Speaker 1: lack of ultrapartisanship, and of course that's being that's being
Speaker 1: cast is inherently racist. I mean, this is somebody who's
Speaker 1: going to be leading the civil rights division of the
Speaker 1: Justice Department if she's confirmed. Kristin Clark, who was a
Speaker 1: big believer in Jose Smallett, believe the juse Smalllett, this
Speaker 1: is public. This is a matter public record. She was
Speaker 1: all my the terrible hate crime against Jesse Smolett. Let
Speaker 1: me just ask you on that alone. Would would you
Speaker 1: trust someone's judgment to be among the most powerful people
Speaker 1: in the Department of Justice because they believed the just
Speaker 1: they believed the Jesse Smolette story. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: at what point is that disqualify you? I mean just
Speaker 1: literally being so gullible or so cynical that you'd believe
Speaker 1: the Jesse Smolette story. I never believed it. Go back.
Speaker 1: You can see my podcasts back when the Justice smalltting happened.
Speaker 1: The week the story broke, I had a podcast Jesse
Speaker 1: Smolette is lying. Okay, that was before we do all
Speaker 1: the other stuff, the additional evidence. But yeah, let's let's
Speaker 1: make Kirsten Clark the head of the Justice Department Civil
Speaker 1: Rights Division. Sure, that's gonna work out great. Is it
Speaker 1: possible for the government to spend too much money? Are
Speaker 1: there any ill effects from the government spending trillions and
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars obligating future generation somehow to pay this back,
Speaker 1: creating all kinds of drag on the economy presently? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, we know that as real interest rates rise,
Speaker 1: just paying the service on the debt is going to
Speaker 1: become an onerous financial burden. Just the interest on the
Speaker 1: debt we've already accrued it is going to be a
Speaker 1: major challenge. So at what point do we all come
Speaker 1: together and say, now, look, I get it, I get it.
Speaker 1: There wasn't enough focus on this in the Trump years,
Speaker 1: and that's true, but things were good things. We're humming
Speaker 1: along with the economy. So we felt like, all right,
Speaker 1: nobody wanted to hear it. I told you. I used
Speaker 1: to occasually say, I know, no one wants to talk
Speaker 1: about the debt. And you remember that, you guys all
Speaker 1: remember en gals, Remember I would bring it up, and
Speaker 1: I knew that we'd be in exactly this position where
Speaker 1: the Democrats were there. Whatever we were willing to spend
Speaker 1: when Republicans were in charge, Democrats were just going to
Speaker 1: go wild in comparison to that. And that's what's happened here.
Speaker 1: And they're not even done necessarily using the COVID crisis
Speaker 1: as an opportunity to do just unbelievable amounts of government spending.
Speaker 1: I mean, here's here's Pelosi telling everybody that you know,
Speaker 1: I mean maybe maybe you know, four trillion will be
Speaker 1: the last, maybe not play eight that figure. I think
Speaker 1: even last fall, when the last COVID relief bill passed,
Speaker 1: you were already talking about having to do another bill
Speaker 1: in the new administrations. Do you think this is the last,
Speaker 1: primarily COVID bill that you'll have to take up. You're
Speaker 1: just going to have to ask the virus if it
Speaker 1: stops mutating, if it stops spreading and therefore mutating, then
Speaker 1: this will be It's up to the virus. You see,
Speaker 1: it's not up to Congress. This is going to be
Speaker 1: something that comes up. I think in the future they're
Speaker 1: going to say that even when COVID get ready for
Speaker 1: this again. Mark this one down is one of my
Speaker 1: buck predictions. You know how often they come true about policy,
Speaker 1: not about candidates. Policy I can see common candidates, you know,
Speaker 1: it's always a crapshoot. But mark this one down. They're
Speaker 1: going to say that the argument will be made in
Speaker 1: the future. And I mean later this year. I don't
Speaker 1: mean in five years. I mean later this year when
Speaker 1: there's not enough COVID for any reasonable person to think
Speaker 1: that this is still a national emergency correct, which would
Speaker 1: be a great thing, by the way, but they'll say, oh,
Speaker 1: but because of what COVID did to the economy. It's
Speaker 1: not that Biden's policies, and it's not that what Congress
Speaker 1: has done with this Democrat bill is crappy and inflation
Speaker 1: starts being a problem or whatever anything that's going poorly
Speaker 1: in the economy, and it probably will. I've been saying this.
Speaker 1: I think that Biden is going to find a way
Speaker 1: to mess this up, even though it should be. The
Speaker 1: US economy should be a rocket ship this year as
Speaker 1: the restraints of COVID are slowly but are being released.
Speaker 1: And instead, what we're going to have, I think is
Speaker 1: a lot of excuse making from the Democrats, and then
Speaker 1: they're gonna go, you know what, the real problem here
Speaker 1: is that we need more COVID spending. Whatever the issue.
Speaker 1: They're gonna say later on this year, we need to
Speaker 1: spend another trillion dollars of stimulus or whatever. It's five
Speaker 1: hundred billion or a trillion or something like that, because
Speaker 1: the economy was devastated by COVID, that's why it's not
Speaker 1: working so well. Their answer will be more spending, and
Speaker 1: their justification for the spending will be the COVID that
Speaker 1: has already basically passed, meaning you know, it's no longer
Speaker 1: truly a pandemic. And anybody who tries to say, hold
Speaker 1: on a second, are you just using this as another
Speaker 1: opportunity to leverage a crisis to get across policy and
Speaker 1: spending decisions, They'll say, how dare you? You know, it's
Speaker 1: about saving people after the COVID aftermath and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: That's what they'll say. And I can see this coming,
Speaker 1: you know, the Democrats in a sense, I hate saying,
Speaker 1: you gotta give them credit, but you know, they played
Speaker 1: the waiting game. They should have done a COVID bill
Speaker 1: in August with Republicans to help a lot of people,
Speaker 1: but they don't want to help people. They want to
Speaker 1: be in charge and they want to help the people
Speaker 1: they want to help, and they waited until the new
Speaker 1: year when the Democrats had control. And now they're passing
Speaker 1: this one point nine trillion dollars and there's hundreds of
Speaker 1: billions going to cities. They're going to essentially eliminate the
Speaker 1: budget deficit for like the City of San Francisco, for example.
Speaker 1: They're gonna dramatically reduce the budget deficit for the for
Speaker 1: cities like New York. So what this is the federalizing
Speaker 1: of Democrats strongholds debts of a courtesy of the taxpayer.
Speaker 1: So those of you who live in Nebraska, you know,
Speaker 1: those of you who live in red parts of the country,
Speaker 1: you know in you know, you name it, right, So
Speaker 1: I know we got KFA by Omaha for example, right,
Speaker 1: those of who live out out in parts of the
Speaker 1: country where you don't have a whole lot of control,
Speaker 1: that's for sure, your federal taxes now, or your federal
Speaker 1: tax obligations are going to prop up poorly run Democrats
Speaker 1: cities that are just run there. You know why Democrats
Speaker 1: cities run into the massive financial problems they do, well now,
Speaker 1: it's because of the flight of people that don't want
Speaker 1: to deal with their crazy policies anymore, rising crime, filth
Speaker 1: on the streets, all that. But beyond that, it's or
Speaker 1: in a more standard sense, it's medicaid and it's public
Speaker 1: sector unions, so paying retired teachers and transit workers pensions
Speaker 1: and free healthcare for people. That's what you know, Medicaid.
Speaker 1: That's what drives local and state debt in Democrats strongholds.
Speaker 1: So that's now just being I said federalized, but really
Speaker 1: it's just being socialized as and now the rest of
Speaker 1: the country gets to is bailing all that out. That's
Speaker 1: what's actually happening here. So they're getting their way on
Speaker 1: all of this. But it's very hard to have real
Speaker 1: opposition right now, or at least to feel like there's
Speaker 1: a strong opposition this right now, because when Trump was
Speaker 1: in office and a lot of you know, I was saying,
Speaker 1: I know nobody wants it. We're just supposed to run
Speaker 1: around with maga hats on and not question the spending,
Speaker 1: not question you know that Jared was the second most
Speaker 1: powerful person in the United States government, no questions a
Speaker 1: lot about any of this. Okay, well, now here we are,
Speaker 1: and here's Claire McCaskill on this place. Seven. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: turns out to Joe that empathy is a pretty good
Speaker 1: measure of political armor. Joe Biden has been disciplined, His
Speaker 1: White House has been disciplined. This has all been not
Speaker 1: about him. He doesn't make this about him. It's all
Speaker 1: about the American people. It's all about the American worker.
Speaker 1: You look at this COVID relief plan and a hypocrisy
Speaker 1: around the price tag is just stunning. I mean, you
Speaker 1: and I talked many times about how Davis is in
Speaker 1: debt went out of the Republicans vocabulary over the last decade.
Speaker 1: But this price tag on this bill is almost identical
Speaker 1: to the big tax bill that the Republicans passed. But
Speaker 1: the big difference is who's going to get helped. It's
Speaker 1: going to be the vast majority of Americans that get
Speaker 1: help from this bill, not the top one percent. So
Speaker 1: Biden is staying focused on policies that help people, not
Speaker 1: on politics. And it turns out that that's a winning formula.
Speaker 1: And if he keeps doing that, there's a bunch of
Speaker 1: policies they're going to push that have that same magic
Speaker 1: seventy percent support marker. If he keeps doing that, you're
Speaker 1: going to see us have a good mid term, not
Speaker 1: a bad mid term. We'll see about that. Oh, we'll see.
Speaker 1: Remember Obama came in two thousand and nine trillion dollars stimulus,
Speaker 1: going to remake America, going to fundamentally trans formed the country.
Speaker 1: How do those midterms look? Anybody remember remember the Tea
Speaker 1: Party wave. Now, now many of the best known Republican
Speaker 1: officeholders one office the first time in two thousand and
Speaker 1: ten or in two thousand and twelve. But that's that
Speaker 1: was the Tea Party wave in response to what the
Speaker 1: federal government was doing in response to a lot of things,
Speaker 1: the bailout of the Wall Street banks and the trillion
Speaker 1: dollars of spending to what end. I remember shovel ready
Speaker 1: jobs that became a laugh on that became a joke.
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate, but that's what ended up happening. But yeah,
Speaker 1: Claire McCaskill here with of course the the classic oh
Speaker 1: just listen to us, we have seventy percent support for
Speaker 1: the policies that we're chasing down. They absolutely do not.
Speaker 1: And as soon as people see what this ends up
Speaker 1: doing to the country, as soon as people see what
Speaker 1: the actual effects of this are, that's the thing democrat
Speaker 1: at Policies are unpopular when people feel them and see
Speaker 1: them in effect. Democrats make them sound good when they're
Speaker 1: proposing things because they focus on what is minimal or
Speaker 1: what is transient, and they ignore what is real and
Speaker 1: substantial and impactful. But that's what you'll see here with
Speaker 1: the basically two trillion dollars of spending four trillion dollars
Speaker 1: of ex spending, I mean, it's like we're running an experiment.
Speaker 1: Can we actually debase the American dollar? Can we do that?
Speaker 1: It's like our governments trying to see if that's possible,
Speaker 1: trying to see if that's actually something that they can accomplish,
Speaker 1: and if that is their goal. I will say they're
Speaker 1: making some pretty strong moves. You know from the Bind
Speaker 1: administration that they say it will make its decisions based
Speaker 1: on its science. What's the science behind not saying it's
Speaker 1: safe for people who have been vaccinated received two doses
Speaker 1: to travel. You know, that's a very good question, John,
Speaker 1: and the CDC is carefully heading in that direction. You
Speaker 1: note when doctor Weilenski made the announcement a day or
Speaker 1: two ago about the fact that when you have a
Speaker 1: couple of people, two or three or more people in
Speaker 1: a family setting, both of whom are vaccinated, even if
Speaker 1: it's someone from another a friend that doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be a member of the family. That was the first
Speaker 1: in a multi step process that they are going to
Speaker 1: be rolling out. They're being careful, understandably, they want to
Speaker 1: get science, they want to get data, and then when
Speaker 1: you don't have the data and you don't have the
Speaker 1: actual evidence, then you've got to make a judgment call.
Speaker 1: And I think that's what you're going to be seeing
Speaker 1: in the next week. So you're going to see little
Speaker 1: by little more and more guidelines getting people to be
Speaker 1: more and more flexible. The first installation of this is
Speaker 1: what can vaccinated people do in the home setting? Obviously,
Speaker 1: the next one is going to be what you're asking,
Speaker 1: what about travel? What about going out? What about getting
Speaker 1: a haircut? What about doing things like that? That's all
Speaker 1: imminently going to become out. Oh here you have Fauci
Speaker 1: telling you that it's not all based on the data,
Speaker 1: that the data isn't what's making the determination. They're just
Speaker 1: making judgment calls. Folks. The CDC is a partisan abomination. Okay,
Speaker 1: the CDC is just a bunch of bureaucrats sitting around
Speaker 1: who don't want to be criticized, You want to keep
Speaker 1: their jobs, who have been useless, useless during this pandemic.
Speaker 1: What has the CDC done that has made a major
Speaker 1: difference during the pandemic? Tell you to wash your hands,
Speaker 1: social distance, and mask up. While they were kind of
Speaker 1: late on all that too, weren't they, But that's where
Speaker 1: they're so useful. The CDC director said this past fall
Speaker 1: that masks were more effective than a vaccine. He said
Speaker 1: that in Congress like a lunatic, because masking has become
Speaker 1: this religious belief for people. Now that you're a good person,
Speaker 1: you mask. But where is the huge benefit. How has
Speaker 1: the CDC really justified it's budget, the billions and billions
Speaker 1: of dollars spend on it every year. I'm just wondering,
Speaker 1: how has doctor Fauci justified all the power that he's
Speaker 1: had in his hands. That they have used this term
Speaker 1: to laugh the Democrat, the Fauchiites have used this term
Speaker 1: thus science, when what they really mean is we want
Speaker 1: this to be the decision made, and we won't. We
Speaker 1: will not allow any dissent, We will not allow any debate.
Speaker 1: Shut your mouth, do it or else. Because it's not
Speaker 1: the science telling you when it's safe to open schools.
Speaker 1: The same way it's not the science telling you how
Speaker 1: much red meat you can eat. You'll make that determination.
Speaker 1: A doctor can advise you. A doctor can say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe don't have red meat three times a day.
Speaker 1: It's not good for you. Maybe you know watch By
Speaker 1: the way, they're not even sure if red meat, you know,
Speaker 1: is it good for your Is it bad for your heart?
Speaker 1: Is it good for your heart if it changes all
Speaker 1: the time. But this is the truth of what has
Speaker 1: gone on here. They have bastardized, they have undermined the
Speaker 1: concept of objective truth in scientific inquiry by pretending to
Speaker 1: be defenders of it. And Faucci is the worst, the
Speaker 1: worst example of this that you could possibly point in.
Speaker 1: But Faucci is appalling. I mean, really, this guy's he's
Speaker 1: just a little tyrannical democrat bureaucrat. And and I'm still
Speaker 1: furious about how he wasn't honest about what he knew
Speaker 1: and didn't know where he's been right, where he's been wrong.
Speaker 1: Here he is the usual. You could play every every
Speaker 1: two weeks or so for the last fifty weeks you've
Speaker 1: had Faucci going, you know, do just two more weeks
Speaker 1: or else, you know, you're gonna have it. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have a problem. We're worried, you know, if you don't
Speaker 1: listen to us, We're worried, bad things are gonna happen.
Speaker 1: As if that's helpful. Here he is with Oh, if
Speaker 1: you don't listen to me, it's going to be a surge.
Speaker 1: Play six when you see Texas lifting its max mandates,
Speaker 1: when you see pictures from Idaho of kids burning masks
Speaker 1: in the same being called for in Texas, what's your
Speaker 1: reaction to that? You know, it's it's concerned, John. I mean,
Speaker 1: we understand people's need to get back to normal, and
Speaker 1: we are going in that direction. But when you start
Speaker 1: doing things like completely putting aside all public health measures
Speaker 1: as if you're turning a light switch off, that's quite risky.
Speaker 1: We don't want to see another surge, and that's inviting
Speaker 1: one when you do that, we don't want to see
Speaker 1: another surge. Do you think that he's gonna go on
Speaker 1: TV when there's no surge in Texas and everything's fine
Speaker 1: in a month, which it will be my prediction. All right,
Speaker 1: just remember I'm gonna go back to this. Do you
Speaker 1: think he's gonna go on TODB? You know I was wrong?
Speaker 1: I gotta stop just always saying, oh gosh, watch out,
Speaker 1: watch out, to stop being chicken little the sky is falling?
Speaker 1: You know? Did you think that he's ever going to
Speaker 1: admit this? Never has he ever? Has Doctor Fauci one
Speaker 1: time ever said you know what I was wrong? No, Instead,
Speaker 1: what he says, is no nobody could have known. Oh,
Speaker 1: nobody could have known what was going to happen, But
Speaker 1: at every stage in this he acted like he did
Speaker 1: know what was going to happen. Play five. The extraordinary
Speaker 1: capability of this virus to just do things that you
Speaker 1: would not have anticipated. I mean, if you had turned
Speaker 1: the clock back a year and when we had the
Speaker 1: decision of shutting down travel from Europe, which was a
Speaker 1: year ago tomorrow on the eleventh of March, I never
Speaker 1: would have imagined. Even though I've been through multiple outbreaks
Speaker 1: of different diseases, the thought that you would have five
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five thousand people in America to have
Speaker 1: died and about you know, twenty eight million infections in
Speaker 1: this country is would have really been unimaginable. So this
Speaker 1: virus is a very formidable enemy, if you want to
Speaker 1: be metaphorical about it. It's just extraordinary. What exactly did
Speaker 1: the public health establishment due to push us through this
Speaker 1: in a way that we can look back and say, wow,
Speaker 1: that really made a difference, That really saved a lot
Speaker 1: of lives. Social distancing, Yeah, that's right. The little foot.
Speaker 1: The little foot symbols in my elevator where I live,
Speaker 1: telling me where to put my feet in the elevator
Speaker 1: for social distancing purposes. That was really effective. Only cowardly
Speaker 1: idiots believe this stuff anymore. We've got our friend Carol Marko.
Speaker 1: It's here talking to us about Lockdown's Fauci School reopened
Speaker 1: and oh so much more. She is a columnist for
Speaker 1: the New York Post, and she's got a piece up
Speaker 1: this week on Texas is reopening. But she's obviously also
Speaker 1: very focused on things going on here in New York City. Carol,
Speaker 1: great to have you. Thank you so much for having me,
Speaker 1: so I'm happy to hear that now the Great Saint
Speaker 1: Fauci is willing to say that sometimes they don't really
Speaker 1: have the data at the CDC, but they actually just
Speaker 1: have to come up with a judgment call, almost like
Speaker 1: when you're making a judgment call, other people should be
Speaker 1: allowed to question it and maybe disagree with it. So
Speaker 1: maybe there's a crack now in the science as it's
Speaker 1: always been laid out for us right well, even a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, he said that you can hug each
Speaker 1: other when you're both been vaccinated, and even though they
Speaker 1: don't have the data on that that he said just
Speaker 1: use your common sense, which I hadn't heard anybody mentioned
Speaker 1: that we should use common sense over the course of
Speaker 1: a year when I see people wearing multiple masks outside.
Speaker 1: So he only seems to want to use that common
Speaker 1: sense in one direction, which is always like the stricter,
Speaker 1: most difficult, most you know, humanity insulting direction. And I'm
Speaker 1: really tired of it, and I'm sure that you and
Speaker 1: your listeners are too. You know, in USA today, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this, there are there are
Speaker 1: a number of scientists who straight up say in a
Speaker 1: piece that they wrote that's that's at USA today, about
Speaker 1: how they believe the CDC has misused Here's here's the piece.
Speaker 1: It's it's CDC misinterpreted our research on opening schools. It
Speaker 1: should loosen the rules now. Doctor Tara Henderson, doctor Monica Gandhi,
Speaker 1: doctor Tracy Beth Hogue, doctor Daniel Johnson. Okay, these are
Speaker 1: people that pull together the actual data on school reopened.
Speaker 1: They are writing a piece to say the CDC is
Speaker 1: wrong in its guidance based upon what our data actually says.
Speaker 1: I mean, how much more of this do we have
Speaker 1: to see before people realize there's a problem here. Well,
Speaker 1: I think I think people even knew. I think the
Speaker 1: CDC was sort of open about open about it. But
Speaker 1: they said that school should open. And then a few
Speaker 1: days later they had him eating with the teachers unions
Speaker 1: and then they said the schools, you know, maybe shouldn't open,
Speaker 1: And so it was obvious what had happened, right, I
Speaker 1: think I think everybody understood that they had become politicized,
Speaker 1: and the Biden administration sat them down with the unions
Speaker 1: and said, you know, wait for the barrel of money
Speaker 1: that I'm going to deliver. And so I don't know
Speaker 1: why anybody trusts them at all anymore. I think that
Speaker 1: they've been completely corrupted during this process, and it's been
Speaker 1: obvious every time I mentioned a CDC head Wilenski, I
Speaker 1: want to add, you know, we don't know if she's
Speaker 1: talking in her personal capacity, because when she said schools
Speaker 1: should be open even before teachers are vaccinated, Jen Zaki
Speaker 1: very famously said, um, you know she was talking in
Speaker 1: her personal capacity and it wasn't the reflection of the
Speaker 1: Bide administration nor the CDC. Right. That's that's remarkable is
Speaker 1: that you could have the head This should be like
Speaker 1: the Secretary Defense stands up and says, you know, I
Speaker 1: think we should we should invade Sweden. And it's well,
Speaker 1: there's the Secretary Defense, were speaking in his personal capacity,
Speaker 1: right right, right? Yeah. Every time I mentioned her or anything,
Speaker 1: I've been adding, you know, but is she speaking in
Speaker 1: her ferson mepacitat because we don't know she's broken her
Speaker 1: completely her uh, just nobody takes her seriously anymore because
Speaker 1: of the White House, and it's you know, unfortunate for her.
Speaker 1: You know, one thing that I think we are seeing
Speaker 1: now as well, and it's based on recent polling data
Speaker 1: that I've seen, is that the there's really a lasting
Speaker 1: and lingering effect. Um it's in particularly very blue places
Speaker 1: where Faucci worship is very high, places like New York
Speaker 1: City for example, where there are there are folks who
Speaker 1: are saying that they they want to continue these restrictions
Speaker 1: even at even long after they want to continue on
Speaker 1: their own, even long after the mandates are lifted. That's
Speaker 1: what I find so remarkable. I think it's so crazy
Speaker 1: to me that they're admitting it out loud, like it's
Speaker 1: this is a crazy thing to say. I don't you know.
Speaker 1: People are literally saying they don't want this to be over,
Speaker 1: and it just it makes me really angry because these
Speaker 1: people are all the people who have spent this time
Speaker 1: in their pajamas at home, working from home. Nobody none
Speaker 1: of these people missed a paycheck, right, None of these
Speaker 1: people had to lay awake at night wondering if their
Speaker 1: small business was going to survive and then figuring out
Speaker 1: that no, it couldn't. And so like all these people
Speaker 1: who spent the year baking banana bread and living on
Speaker 1: their pelotons, they're sad to see it end. Like I
Speaker 1: don't feel sorry for them. I think they need to
Speaker 1: be called out and like confronted, because this is a
Speaker 1: really awful thing to say that you don't want this
Speaker 1: to end. I even if you enjoyed your life for
Speaker 1: the last year, like, think about everybody else who did
Speaker 1: right and all I keep saying this the people. You know,
Speaker 1: no one's forcing you to go out to benefits and
Speaker 1: gallas and crowded bars, like you want to stay home
Speaker 1: on your peloton, Stay home on your peloton. It's fine, right, yeah, exactly, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's that, That's exactly it. It's um. You know, you
Speaker 1: can keep living this life. And you know the thing
Speaker 1: is I think that they're all worried that they will
Speaker 1: have to eventually go back into the office. But again,
Speaker 1: people have been going into work this whole time. I
Speaker 1: think the idea that they that there everybody's been baking
Speaker 1: banana bread is just it's not true. I've been I've
Speaker 1: been going into the office since September or October now.
Speaker 1: So I sort of sit around saying, Okay, what's with
Speaker 1: all these people to think that, you know, no, oh,
Speaker 1: we're all in lockdown. No we're not. Actually we're not
Speaker 1: in lockdown. We haven't been in lockdown. It's lunacy. But
Speaker 1: just I want to ask also about you know, there's
Speaker 1: the New York version of trying to slowly just they
Speaker 1: really want to grip onto this thing. It seems a
Speaker 1: lot of people do here. Unfortunately, what's going on in
Speaker 1: Texas with the reopen So Texas announced that they were
Speaker 1: ending the statewide mask mandate and that they were opening
Speaker 1: everything at full capacity. Obviously, businesses can still ask for
Speaker 1: mask wearing inside. That's you know, the standard, even in
Speaker 1: places like Florida, which are quite open. But Texans were
Speaker 1: mad and they had sort of had enough there. Texans
Speaker 1: are known for being very freedom loving and they didn't
Speaker 1: think that their governor was reflecting that. So and it's
Speaker 1: amazing because it's not like these mask mandates did a
Speaker 1: single thing. States with mask mandates largely had worse results
Speaker 1: than states without them. People will know to protect themselves.
Speaker 1: They know how to protect themselves, and they don't need
Speaker 1: the state to tell them that you must wear a
Speaker 1: mask again in zero risk situations like outdoors when you're
Speaker 1: by yourself. And the mask mandates did not add anything
Speaker 1: to the health benefits of those states. Carol Mark Whit's
Speaker 1: everybody's been a fierce warrior for school reopen, which I
Speaker 1: really appreciate. Check out our latest column in the New
Speaker 1: York Post for this week, Carol, great to have you,
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Buff And another one six now count
Speaker 1: them six accusers of sexual harassment against the governor of
Speaker 1: New York, Andrew Cuomo. Another one comes forward now, this
Speaker 1: one written about the New York Post. Here you go.
Speaker 1: A female member of Andrew Cuomo's staff has been the
Speaker 1: six per and accused him of inappropriate conduct. The woman
Speaker 1: told the associates that Cuomo touched her inappropriately late last
Speaker 1: year inside the governor's mansion after she was summoned their
Speaker 1: on official business. The Times Union said it was withholding
Speaker 1: her name because she couldn't be reached for comment. Her
Speaker 1: allegations recently reached the supervisor in the Executive Chamber and
Speaker 1: were reported to Cuomo's counsel and the office of Attorney
Speaker 1: General Leticia James. Monday, James announced the hiring of outside lawyers,
Speaker 1: including former acting Manhattan US Attorney June Kim, to investigate
Speaker 1: the mushrooming cloud of sexual harassment allegations and other inappropriate
Speaker 1: behavior by Cuomo. Another accuser against Andrew Cuomo. Now we're
Speaker 1: at six, I have to wonder at what point, at
Speaker 1: what point have we crossed the threshold where the Democrats
Speaker 1: can no longer play this game. That the usual rules
Speaker 1: that would be in place for other people, right, the
Speaker 1: rules are women must be believed. That was what they
Speaker 1: said about Kavanaugh. That was how they set up the
Speaker 1: discussion around other allegations in the past, when they wanted
Speaker 1: the person accused to be destroyed. But this time around,
Speaker 1: it was well, okay, there's two accusers, when there's three,
Speaker 1: come and talk to me. And then there were three
Speaker 1: accusers against Cuomo, and it's well, when there's four now five,
Speaker 1: now six. I wonder if we get to twelve accusers,
Speaker 1: is that enough for women to be believed? Now, what
Speaker 1: you are going to see is a master class from
Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo in delay and delay and I would say
Speaker 1: delay and pray, but I don't know how much of
Speaker 1: that he really does. But essentially just grind down this
Speaker 1: system by using the system. This is a guy who
Speaker 1: understands this very very well. These calls for investigation, This
Speaker 1: allows Democrats. This is the whole kabuki theater that we
Speaker 1: see here of Democrats saying, oh no, we take these
Speaker 1: allegations really serious. There's an investigation underway. Well, how quickly
Speaker 1: are we going to see finding some this investigation? How
Speaker 1: could anything from this investigation turn into anything other than
Speaker 1: his word versus the words of the accusers who are
Speaker 1: now on record, they've come forward. It isn't as though
Speaker 1: this is from behind some veil of secrecy. So what
Speaker 1: is there to make us believe that this will result
Speaker 1: in anything other than Cuomo saying that's their opinion. I
Speaker 1: have my opinion. There's a report that'll come out from
Speaker 1: Leticia James's office, I'm sure at some point, and it
Speaker 1: will say, you know, the usual required slogans about believing
Speaker 1: women and about how we need a quality in the
Speaker 1: workplace and all the stuff that you'd expect Democrats to
Speaker 1: put in there, and it'll say that something along the lines,
Speaker 1: Now this is my prediction, it'll say something along the
Speaker 1: lines of the allegations against Cuomo are entirely credible, but
Speaker 1: we cannot rule out, you know, beyond a reason of
Speaker 1: a doubt, that maybe these were misinterpreted gestures, or that
Speaker 1: perhaps there was just a difference of opinion about this.
Speaker 1: They'll leave some wiggle him just a little bit for
Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo to say, see, the investigation didn't find any
Speaker 1: certain wrongdoing. I'm cleared. It won't clear him, but it
Speaker 1: won't indict him either or not that this would be
Speaker 1: a criminal issue, but it won't metaphorically or you know,
Speaker 1: in the in the broader sense of the term, indict
Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo. This guy's going to stay as governor, and
Speaker 1: he's then going to be somebody who we all know
Speaker 1: will wait a little while before he starts settling scores,
Speaker 1: which will be a remarkable thing to see. He's going
Speaker 1: to start settling the scores against everybody who came out
Speaker 1: against him here. I wouldn't want to be ron Kim.
Speaker 1: If Cuomo politically survives this fiasco, you can start to
Speaker 1: think of the names off the top of your head
Speaker 1: of people that he's going to go after. You know, Deblasio,
Speaker 1: I gotta say, has shown more backbone speaking out against
Speaker 1: Cuomo than I've ever seen him with anything else, So
Speaker 1: you know it must be deeply personal. You know, at
Speaker 1: some level de Blasio has to really despise this guy,
Speaker 1: because overall they're both very transactional Democrats. But I will
Speaker 1: say this, de Blasio is an ideologue, and I know
Speaker 1: that's something that comes across He really believes the nonsense
Speaker 1: that he spews a lot of the time, which I
Speaker 1: know is scary for a reasonable person, But he does
Speaker 1: think that what he's saying about equity and about wokeness
Speaker 1: and about redistributing wealth and all these things. I think
Speaker 1: that he actually thinks that makes him a good person,
Speaker 1: and that's what needs to be done. As crazy as
Speaker 1: that sounds, especially if you listen to enough of Deblasio's nonsense,
Speaker 1: and then there's also all the incompetence and just his
Speaker 1: famous or infamous work ethic, which is that he has
Speaker 1: no work ethic. But Cuomo is something else. He's a
Speaker 1: different kind of Democrat because he's really a quomo log
Speaker 1: or you know, he's somebody who is first and foremost
Speaker 1: a quomoist. He is about himself in this role, in
Speaker 1: this position, and it doesn't really matter what he has
Speaker 1: to do. It doesn't really matter what he accomplishes or
Speaker 1: doesn't accomplish. Does it lead to book deals and adulation
Speaker 1: and public opinion polls that show him doing very well
Speaker 1: with the general New York state population and the national population. Remember,
Speaker 1: he became a national political figure out of this. He
Speaker 1: became somebody who was talked about as a possible last
Speaker 1: minute entrance entrant into the Democratic presidential primary. He was
Speaker 1: as I think I played that audio for you, that SoundBite. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I say audio, it's a little too you know, sounds
Speaker 1: a little too nerdy. I mean, you know that that
Speaker 1: SoundBite of I believe it was Amy Roebock on ABC
Speaker 1: News reading out to Cuomo on national TV that he
Speaker 1: was the second most trusted Democrat as of last summer
Speaker 1: in America, just after Barack Obama himself. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're a Democrat in this era we're in and someone
Speaker 1: even says your name in the same sentence as Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: That's the highest praise you could ever possibly achieve. So
Speaker 1: that's where he was. And now Cuomo has six women
Speaker 1: who have come forward and said said that he is
Speaker 1: a sketchy guy. And the way that they've accused him too.
Speaker 1: Noticed that the allegations against Cavanaugh were not rooted in
Speaker 1: any fact whatsoever. I mean, that's really for me the
Speaker 1: benchmark through which or by which we must generally gauge
Speaker 1: Democrat allegations of this kind, because it was the most
Speaker 1: grotesque attempt at a political assassination, a character assassination, that
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in public and in my lifetime. There's
Speaker 1: nothing quite like Brett Kavanaugh, who is like the ultimate
Speaker 1: boy scout out, golden resume, good guy next door that
Speaker 1: you could trust, you know, to leave your kids with
Speaker 1: your wife, with your check book with. Right, That's who
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh was. It was very apparent, and yet they
Speaker 1: wanted to ruin and destroy him, and they wanted to
Speaker 1: act like they really believed that he was a serial
Speaker 1: gang rapist in high school. And no one had ever
Speaker 1: heard of this or thought of this before. So the
Speaker 1: allegations themselves were outrageous and outlandish, and I would argue
Speaker 1: not credible on its face, right, the belief that there
Speaker 1: could have been a gang rape ring with little Brett
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh running it in the elite suburbs of Washington, DC,
Speaker 1: and no one had ever heard a word of this before. Now,
Speaker 1: after over thirty years, you know they were drugging women
Speaker 1: and all, I mean, you're young women, you know, teenagers. Basically,
Speaker 1: there's just no way the things that are being said
Speaker 1: about Andrew Cuomo. You can all see it, right. It's
Speaker 1: a guy who kind of loves himself. I know that
Speaker 1: there's a This is another one of these stories. There's
Speaker 1: an Antiquomo billboard out there. It's demanding paid for by
Speaker 1: Kat Sullivan, it says, and it's demanding Cuomo's impeachment. This
Speaker 1: appeared today in Albany. Six strikes, six strikes. Cuomos out
Speaker 1: free the nipple, fire the boob, The billboard says, so,
Speaker 1: referring to the fact that he apparently has nipple rings.
Speaker 1: I've always thought that that was some kind of urban legend.
Speaker 1: But there is this photo. I look, I don't want
Speaker 1: to get into this guy's deep into this guy's personal life.
Speaker 1: And personal hygiene and all the rest of it. But
Speaker 1: if that, if that is true, that is wow. But
Speaker 1: back to what these women are saying, the allegations that
Speaker 1: they're making, the things that we're hearing from them, all
Speaker 1: of it rings true. All of it seems entirely like
Speaker 1: something that this governor, this very powerful man who clearly
Speaker 1: wants to try to leverage his position as the governor
Speaker 1: of New York State, would say to a woman or
Speaker 1: due to a woman to try to leverage the circumstances
Speaker 1: to his advantage for sexual purposes. They're not going, notice,
Speaker 1: there's not any outlandish Oh he drugged me and you
Speaker 1: held me in a dungeon against my will or something.
Speaker 1: There's there's nothing like that's what they did against Cavadall.
Speaker 1: There's nothing along those lines. All these women the allegations
Speaker 1: are very similar. He's a touchy, grabby guy who is
Speaker 1: makes it very clear that if you want to advance
Speaker 1: your career, you might want to get with the love
Speaker 1: gov so to speak. That's what they're saying. It's entirely believable.
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, he's going to withstand this. He's
Speaker 1: going to withstand it. And there are people you know,
Speaker 1: there's that that phrase from the show The Wire, which
Speaker 1: if you've never seen is it's very gritty. It's it's
Speaker 1: worth watching. It's about the drug trade and in a
Speaker 1: police and narcotics work in Baltimore in the nineties or
Speaker 1: the early two thousands. If you come at the King,
Speaker 1: you best not miss. If you come at the Cuomo,
Speaker 1: you best not miss, would also be true. I think
Speaker 1: in New York state politics, we can all see how
Speaker 1: this is likely to play out here. There's just not
Speaker 1: going to be enough to remove him by force, meaning impeachment,
Speaker 1: and there's no way he's going to resign. And I
Speaker 1: am quite certain, based on everything I've heard about this
Speaker 1: individual Andrew Cuomo based and everything I know about this governor,
Speaker 1: that he has no intention whatsoever of resigning or of
Speaker 1: letting bygones be bygones. He is going to want payback.
Speaker 1: The show ain't over yet, folks. It's time for roll call.
Speaker 1: Let's get chew it. Let's get to a Facebook dot
Speaker 1: com slash Bucks Sexton Teambucket, iHeartMedia dot com if you
Speaker 1: want to email us, and please remember give me a
Speaker 1: review on the Apple podcast platform. Five stars for The
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. And also give us a written review
Speaker 1: talking about what you like about the show. Please, I

Speaker 1: He keeps us safe and warm at night, and you
Speaker 1: write that ten times and as long as you give
Speaker 1: us five stars, you're doing us a big solid So
Speaker 1: please that already. Thank you to the one person who said,
Speaker 1: I'm doing this for Producer Mark. I appreciate it. There
Speaker 1: we go, so thank you so much for Yes, even
Speaker 1: Producer Mark is asking nicely for you to do this, right,
Speaker 1: Producer Mark, are you continuating that I'm not I don't
Speaker 1: normally ask nicely and I'm not. No, No, I'm just
Speaker 1: you know, I mean maybe a little bit. But I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, even you're asking people kindly to h well,
Speaker 1: if I don't ask them kindly, they're not going to
Speaker 1: do it. That's true too. Yeah, okay, Well, anyway, Producer
Speaker 1: Mark is saying, please if you would give us the
Speaker 1: five star review on the Apple podcast platform and uh
Speaker 1: and make sure is there a review fund shore on
Speaker 1: the iHeart app or no? No, I think Apple is
Speaker 1: the only one that has a review functions. Gotcha, That's
Speaker 1: what I thought. Because you can also always listen to
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, which is a great platform with which
Speaker 1: to do it. All right, let's get to it, because
Speaker 1: I got some real call all the way, I did
Speaker 1: want to say something, prucer Mark. I managed to both
Speaker 1: erase in old smart TV to factory settings and put
Speaker 1: a new smart TV in all by myself. Last night.
Speaker 1: I was very very unboomerish, as the kids say of me.
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like I am almost te tech competent.
Speaker 1: And you didn't even text or call me once. I
Speaker 1: did not bother you once. This is what I want
Speaker 1: everyone to know. Usually i'd take prucer Mark, you know,
Speaker 1: my toaster's broken, and then he goes, you know, Buck,
Speaker 1: I have a life and it's time for me to
Speaker 1: do other things. I say, but I need help, and
Speaker 1: then he sends to me a text about how to
Speaker 1: fix it. So but no, last night I figured it
Speaker 1: all out by myself. So that's good. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: What do you do with an old TV? I guess
Speaker 1: you just throw it out. It just feels like you
Speaker 1: really like it still kind of works, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: do you need a TV in the bedroom? I don't know. No,
Speaker 1: not a fifty five incher. Gosh, that's a big that's
Speaker 1: a big TV for the for the the boudoir. Um so, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm just thinking about it. I'm just
Speaker 1: think I'm sure you'll find a good use for it.
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody needs it, somebody that you know. I just realized,
Speaker 1: a boo, the boudoir is actually a woman's bedroom. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's worry about that. Probably not the word I would use,
Speaker 1: but not really the word I would use either, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but fair enough. But yeah, I'd say I managed to
Speaker 1: set it all up. And now I'm excited because I
Speaker 1: wasn't able to get in my Amazon Prime, which meant
Speaker 1: that I couldn't watch my Goliath show, which was very
Speaker 1: disappointing for me. So and yeah, that's what. I don't
Speaker 1: think you've ever touched a piece of technology without you
Speaker 1: having some sort of problem with it. Technology has an
Speaker 1: allergy to me because they know that I'm old school.
Speaker 1: So all the things with the electricity and running through them,
Speaker 1: I touch them and they throw a fit because they're like,
Speaker 1: we know you don't like us, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the feeling is mutual technology, but let's just you know,
Speaker 1: let's just get through this you know that's where we are. Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to get you a typewriter and you'll
Speaker 1: do the show off a rotary phone and then it'll
Speaker 1: be cool. Well, radio is an old school technology, to
Speaker 1: be fair, so yeah, but we use much newer technology.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't be able to do what we're doing right
Speaker 1: now in nineteen eighty five. Yeah, we definitely wouldn't be
Speaker 1: able to do in like the nineteen thirties, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: And I shoot forties, you know, when radio first started
Speaker 1: to get really in widespread broader usage. It's still kind
Speaker 1: of amazing. But I think about the fact that the
Speaker 1: radio wave from the show just goes all over the
Speaker 1: country and it flies through the air and people can
Speaker 1: listen to my voice. It's not kind of amazing when
Speaker 1: you think about it. Yeah, it just flies through the air.
Speaker 1: That's exactly how it works. Yeah, it flies around like
Speaker 1: Santa Clause. It just flies around in the air. That's
Speaker 1: how it goes. All right, Alex, let's see what you
Speaker 1: got in mind for us, Alex, here with our role
Speaker 1: call session. Hey, bucking Mark, what are the chances that
Speaker 1: Obama is the hand inside the puppet we know as
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. I always believe that Obama picked Biden as
Speaker 1: his VAT because he was in extreme mediocrity, and everyone
Speaker 1: knew it. Long before Maizie Herrono took over as the
Speaker 1: dumbest person in the Senate. It was common knowledge that
Speaker 1: Biden held that position for a long time. The guy
Speaker 1: was constantly wrong for decades. I think Obama is playing
Speaker 1: a very large role here. What do you think love
Speaker 1: the show, Well, it's funny you bring that up, Alex
Speaker 1: because our guest earlier in the show, John Cardillo, said
Speaker 1: exactly that that he believes this is the third Obama
Speaker 1: term and that Obama from behind the scenes quietly think
Speaker 1: about how easy it is. All he has to do
Speaker 1: is reach out to Joe, give him a call, give
Speaker 1: him a text. Obama behind the scenes is the most powerful.
Speaker 1: This is what John said, John Cardillo, that he's the
Speaker 1: most powerful person in the Biden administration, which, look, I
Speaker 1: think on big issues that's very likely to be the case.
Speaker 1: It does not surprise me at all, or the notion
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me at all that maybe Obama is in
Speaker 1: fact really heavily involved behind the scenes in major decision
Speaker 1: making from Biden. But also remember that it's all of
Speaker 1: Obama's people, really, all of his appointees and everything else.
Speaker 1: They're the ones around Biden. So yeah, you are getting,
Speaker 1: in effect, you are getting something something like a third
Speaker 1: Obama presidency here. And doesn't it kind of feel like it, aren't?
Speaker 1: There A lot of similarities right now. I remember we
Speaker 1: had a financial collapse in two thousand and eight or
Speaker 1: financial crisis whatever, and you know, the mortgage meltdown, and
Speaker 1: then we got a two thousand and nine and the
Speaker 1: left is totally ascended. Now, I will say this, they
Speaker 1: were far more enthusiastic and excited about Obama and they
Speaker 1: are about Biden, which makes sense. I get that. But
Speaker 1: the same we won you lost. Take it right in
Speaker 1: the teeth, you know, Republicans, we don't care what you
Speaker 1: say or think. We don't care what the common practices
Speaker 1: in our politics have been in the past. But we're
Speaker 1: just gonna have the raw exercise of power. Doesn't it
Speaker 1: feel now like it did a little bit in two
Speaker 1: thousand and nine. We got steamrolled on Obamacare, we got
Speaker 1: steamrolled on that trillion dollars stimulus spending. You remember all that.
Speaker 1: A lot of similarities. Idio Yogi Barra it's deja vu
Speaker 1: all over again, right, I mean a lot of similarities here,
Speaker 1: so pretty sure Mark Yogi Barra was a Yankees coach, right,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, just met just messing with you. I mean, yes,
Speaker 1: he was, but like that is not what he is
Speaker 1: famous for. What do you mean he was a Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame player. Oh? I actually thought he was famous
Speaker 1: for being a coach. Oh my god, I did not
Speaker 1: know that he was the catcher for the only perfect
Speaker 1: game in World Series history. But he's got a great
Speaker 1: a great quote. He's got a lot of great quotes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Who is the who is the single
Speaker 1: greatest sports coach of all time? Most people will probably
Speaker 1: say Vince Lombardi. Who is the man who the trophy
Speaker 1: for football is named after? The Lombardi Trophy? Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I know what it is, Okay, the thing, the thing
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady recklessly threw across the water outside of Tapa.
Speaker 1: Everyon was, oh my gosh, he threw the trophy from
Speaker 1: boat to boat. I mean, when you have like ten
Speaker 1: of them, who really cares. Yeah, he's got plenty, He's
Speaker 1: got he's got spares in case they in case they
Speaker 1: leave another one in his pocket. It doesn't really matter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but there's that anyway. Yeah, yeah, I think, um, I
Speaker 1: think it is kind of like the Obama administration all
Speaker 1: over again. So I would just add that that's that's true,
Speaker 1: that's where we are, that's what we're seeing happen. And
Speaker 1: that's also why we need to have a real movement
Speaker 1: of oppositions as well as a kind of a counterculture,
Speaker 1: if you will, to the cancel culture. We need to
Speaker 1: really get something going that captures the minds, that captures
Speaker 1: the imaginations of those Americans right now who feel put upon, disenfranchised, singled,
Speaker 1: oubt harassed, undermined, purged. And we haven't really got it.
Speaker 1: But it's early. It's early. I know. I'm want to
Speaker 1: be a part of the look. I think that Trump
Speaker 1: is going to play a role in all this for sure,
Speaker 1: but you know, are we really do? We want to
Speaker 1: have the just the pendulum effect of Okay, we're gonna go,
Speaker 1: We're gonna mount up with another Trump attempt to defeat Biden.
Speaker 1: We'll see. Wanda. Hey, I'm writing regarding the increase of
Speaker 1: immigrants and believe that they'll vote for Democrats. First. I
Speaker 1: don't believe all new immigrants would vote this way if
Speaker 1: they fully knew the platforms of the parties and specific candidates.
Speaker 1: My husband is an immigrant from a communist country, and
Speaker 1: most immigrants are here for American opportunities, and therefore, if
Speaker 1: given factual information, would choose to vote to support the
Speaker 1: American ideals of freedom US. It is a sense. It
Speaker 1: is essentially there is a movement to help inform immigrants.
Speaker 1: An added bonus is that this information movement would benefit
Speaker 1: current citizens in becoming more knowledgeable voters. Thanks for all
Speaker 1: you do. I am thankful to be a listener of
Speaker 1: your show. Well, Wander, we are thankful that you are
Speaker 1: a listener of the show, and you touch on some
Speaker 1: very important things here. So I want to spend a
Speaker 1: minute on this. For one thing, understand that what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about the surge of immigrants at our southern border,
Speaker 1: and they're likelihood to vote for Democrats, which is just
Speaker 1: a matter of recent history and numbers and statistics. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about illegal immigrants. These are illegal immigrants. You know,
Speaker 1: once you request to asylum through this process and have
Speaker 1: not showed up at your hearing, you are then in
Speaker 1: the country illegally, so they're sort of they're pre illegal
Speaker 1: immigrants in a sense, and they've also broken the law
Speaker 1: by coming into the country illegally. But that's a different
Speaker 1: category and it has different they're different voting patterns than
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, which is just immigrants in general.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know there are plenty of immigrants who
Speaker 1: listen to this show, and there might even be some
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants listen to the show. I haven't heard from
Speaker 1: any in recent memory, but there are definitely lots of
Speaker 1: immigrants who listen to this show. But they have a
Speaker 1: different view of the country and its laws, and their
Speaker 1: likelihood to vote for Democrats or Republicans is different from
Speaker 1: people who come here illegally, that their first act on
Speaker 1: US soil is an illegal one. And then you added
Speaker 1: that your husband's an immigrant who flees a communist country.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I will say this, a lot of
Speaker 1: the best and most patriotic Americans who came here as immigrants,
Speaker 1: but a lot of my favorite people in this country,
Speaker 1: just period, are immigrants who left countries where they truly
Speaker 1: experienced what authoritarianism and a version of the cancel culture
Speaker 1: and essence, where the people in power can shut you
Speaker 1: down for the wrong thoughts, and those in power can
Speaker 1: determine what the boundaries of acceptable debate, and how much
Speaker 1: property of your own that you get to keep, and
Speaker 1: all the rest of it. People who have experienced a
Speaker 1: real lack of freedom have a particular love of it.
Speaker 1: When they experience it's it's opposite, or when they regain
Speaker 1: their freedom. And that's why immigrants from from Cuba, from
Speaker 1: the former Soviet Block, any former Soviet country, immigrants from Cuba,
Speaker 1: immigrants from from countries like Cambodia that that came here
Speaker 1: to flee the uh the camer Rouge or after the
Speaker 1: camer Rouge, and you know, you look at people who
Speaker 1: have left totalitarian societies and come to America and experience
Speaker 1: freedom here, and they're just they're they're some of the
Speaker 1: best Americans you'll ever come up because they love this place.
Speaker 1: You know, you talked to Cubans in southern Florida who
Speaker 1: had any experience or whose families had any experience of
Speaker 1: the Castro regime. They love America. I mean they they
Speaker 1: you know, will do end, they'll go to any length.
Speaker 1: I had a friend years ago was Cambodian, same thing.
Speaker 1: This guy was doing all kinds of stuff to serve
Speaker 1: as country, and he loves America. I mean in the true,
Speaker 1: in the truest sense, so you know, and like I said,
Speaker 1: former Soviet block too. I mean, you talk to anybody
Speaker 1: who lived in anybody who lived in Chausescu's Romania. You
Speaker 1: talked to somebody who lived in Bulgaria or in in
Speaker 1: uh you know, occupied East Germany. You look at any
Speaker 1: of these places behind the anywhere, anywhere behind the Iron curtain,
Speaker 1: and you say, and they experienced American freedom now, and
Speaker 1: you realize they really get it, and they also know
Speaker 1: that it's not impossible for us to go and become
Speaker 1: as a country here in America what they left. So
Speaker 1: I really they add so much wisdom and so much
Speaker 1: important perspective. Immigrants from immigrants, legal immigrants to America from
Speaker 1: authoritarian countries are critical freedom fighters in America today. More
Speaker 1: row call. We've got our friend Michael writing, Hey, uncle Buck,
Speaker 1: my name's Michael. We have the same last name. Alrighty cool,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to tell you that me and the
Speaker 1: other Sexons are showing you in the other conservative voices
Speaker 1: of our nation's support from the liberal northeast. Well, Michael,
Speaker 1: it's great to have another Sexton up here in the
Speaker 1: liberal Northeast who is supportive of the Buck Sexton Show,
Speaker 1: Please pass the buck, tell people about it, and you
Speaker 1: know the more that if we It's like I always say,
Speaker 1: if we had every person listens to the show, get
Speaker 1: one new person to listen to the Buck Sexton Show
Speaker 1: on either your local radio station or podcast either than
Speaker 1: the iHeart app or the Apple podcast store. If every
Speaker 1: person got Now, look getting everyone to get one person.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's asking a lot, but I'm saying if we
Speaker 1: did that, I mean this show would go from being
Speaker 1: a widely listened to radio show across the country too
Speaker 1: massive massive. So you know, if ten percent, if one
Speaker 1: in ten people listening to this got one new person
Speaker 1: to become a listener to the Buck Sexton Show to
Speaker 1: join the Freedom Hunt, it would be a game changer.
Speaker 1: So that's the people ask, how can you help? If
Speaker 1: you believe in what I do, the way you can help,
Speaker 1: A really easy way is to tell somebody else about
Speaker 1: the free product that I'm putting out every day, which
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show, and get them to try
Speaker 1: to listen to it. I don't think there's a better
Speaker 1: show out there. I'm just gonna say it. I don't
Speaker 1: think there's a better show out there. I believe that.
Speaker 1: So that's and if I didn't, I probably shouldn't be
Speaker 1: doing this. All right, in new of you from your
Speaker 1: Fox appearances, then discovered your show prior to the pandemic.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be a kiss ass or anything,
Speaker 1: but you've been right when there were voices on the
Speaker 1: right making wild claims like the perpetrators of Russian collusion
Speaker 1: would be brought to justice when it should be sadly,
Speaker 1: abundantly clear to everyone by now that the swamp protects
Speaker 1: its own. I appreciated the candor. Well, you know, Ian,
Speaker 1: this is a really nice message to get because I
Speaker 1: was telling you all along, you and everyone listens, there
Speaker 1: will not be they got away with Russian collusion. I mean,
Speaker 1: by the time we got to the the Muller Report
Speaker 1: was released and everything else, and everyone was saying, well,
Speaker 1: now it's going to go the other direction. Who kept
Speaker 1: telling you, No one's come, he's not getting arrested. It's
Speaker 1: not going to happen. There's not some timer where all
Speaker 1: of a sudden people are gonna you know, get no.
Speaker 1: I know the swamp, and also I speak the truth.
Speaker 1: And there it was an unrealistic. And I know there
Speaker 1: are a lot of people because it gets attention. Oh
Speaker 1: you're the you know when you're the person who says
Speaker 1: there's gonna be justice for Russia collusion. Oh, everyone wants
Speaker 1: to listen. Oh no, there wasn't. No, there wasn't. And
Speaker 1: better to live in reality and know the opposition we're
Speaker 1: dealing with and know what the other side is willing
Speaker 1: to do to defeat us, and to fight in that
Speaker 1: world of reality, then to live in this fantasy of oh, sure,
Speaker 1: it'll all be fine, don't worry about it. They'll be
Speaker 1: held to account when they won't and they weren't. So Ian,
Speaker 1: thank you for giving me credit on this. Thank you
Speaker 1: for saying that I was one of the very few
Speaker 1: who followed the Russia collusion Russia Gate thing closely and
Speaker 1: was telling you all along, guys, no one's going to
Speaker 1: jail for this from the deep state, And what I
Speaker 1: said was true and I was right. So thank you
Speaker 1: for that. All Right, everybody back tomorrow. She'll tie
