1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio Act 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Someone explained to me, 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: what the point of having thousands of soldiers fencing, barbed wire, 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: all these security precautions in DC, turning it into an 6 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: armed camp around the Capitol. What's the purpose of all that? 7 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: If we're going to shut down Congress? The United States 8 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: Congress will say, sorry, we're too frightened right now, we're 9 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: too under threat because of something that someone saw on 10 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: the internet. Law enforcement sensitive, that's what they're saying. Can't 11 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: tell you what it is. I know what law enforcement 12 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: sensitive means. It's whatever somebody who happens to work for 13 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: a law enforcement agency decides to call it. There's really 14 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: no specific classifying authority or anything else, and it can 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: be very often open source stuff that just happens to 16 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,319 Speaker 1: catch the attention of individuals who maybe looking for, oh, 17 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: I don't know, a way to please their bosses, who 18 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: are saying, we got to find some threat reporting here 19 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: because we've been told by the people who write the 20 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: checks that that's what needs to happen. Now, I'm not 21 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: saying there isn't a threat. I'm not saying there aren't 22 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: QAnon crazies who have posted stuff on the internet about 23 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: how they're going to storm the coupitl again. But you're 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: gonna shut down Congress for this? Do we really think 25 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: that this QAnon threat is going to result in a 26 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: battalion sized engagement against thousands of National Guard or on 27 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: the Capitol? I mean, is that what we're supposed to believe? 28 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: I just want to know, why are they shutting this down? 29 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: Why would they bend the nee to online lunatics in 30 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: this way unless it's really not about security and safety 31 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: and all that at all. This is something that I 32 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: see here. I used to work in threat reporting and 33 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: in the national security side of things. I was at 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: the CIA's counter Terrorism Centers, the NYPD's Intelligence Division. So 35 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: I can tell you that if you want to find 36 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: and any given day you want the ability to say, oh, 37 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: there's a there's a threat. Remember during the early days 38 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: of homeland security. Oh today we're in an orange day. 39 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: We're in a yellow day of threat. Maybe it's Shartruz, 40 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: maybe it's more like Burgundy. Oh, I don't know. Does 41 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: it go with my shoes? Remember all that the color 42 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: coded threat days. And at that point there were civil libertarians, 43 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: there were people who were left of center who were 44 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: willing to say, this is government overreach, this is madness. 45 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: You can't have this. But now the Democrat Party, the left, 46 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: the ACLU, all of it, all of it onboard for authoritarianism, 47 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: onboard for stamping out discent, destroying the Republican Party, silencing 48 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: opposing voices in our politics. It's necessary, you see, to 49 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: defend our republic from the threat of q Anon. I've 50 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: never even met somebody who believed in qann. Republicans have 51 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: a ninety seven I believe percent negative view of it, 52 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: thinking that it's nonsense. And yet here we are being 53 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: told and by to get ninety seven percent of people 54 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: aren't sure that, you know, stubbing their toe is a 55 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: bad thing, right, So ninety seven percent is actually pretty high. 56 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: And we're shutting down the Capitol. Why are we doing this? 57 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: Why are we shutting down Congress right now? How has 58 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: this decision been made? You know? I just spoke to 59 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: Congressman Devin Nunas yesterday. He's in the House Intelligence Committee. 60 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: Is there is there any threat reporting that has him worried? No? 61 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: Why is it that only Democrat members of Congress are 62 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: speaking to the press about this, because it's about the optics. 63 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: It's about making sure that they can continue with this 64 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: narrative that DC that the Capitol, the sacred sanctum of 65 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: our democracy. Right, the United States Capitol Building is under 66 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: a constant threat from QAnon, and by QAnon, they really 67 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: just mean Trump supporters. That's the jump that all these 68 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: CNN watchers, all the MSNBC viewers immediately make New York 69 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: Times readers when when someone writes or says QAnon, what 70 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: they hear is oh, Trump people. And then they feel 71 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: very justified with the continuation of the purge of conservative ideas, 72 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: of conservatives from social media platforms, kicking them out of 73 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: their jobs, having corporations openly spit in their faces with 74 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: these ridiculous statements of wokeness. Right, that's what's actually going on, 75 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: but they think it's entirely justified. They have to perpetuate 76 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: this exaggerated, this hysterical narrative about how the capital is 77 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: under threatened. At any moment, it could just spill over 78 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: and we might lose our democracy unless we have thousands 79 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: of soldiers, unless we have a preparation for what looks 80 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: like at foreign invasion in our nation's capital. It's so absurd. 81 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: The people I know who are in DC and who 82 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: are watching this play out just say, it's it's obvious 83 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: that this is for theatrical purposes, that this is so 84 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: that they can have you know, ap AP photographers and 85 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: you know Reuters journalists and CNN correspondents standing in front 86 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: of the fenced in Capitol building any moment now, those 87 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: Trump supporters, those Trump supporters are going to come after us. 88 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: This is really a similar mentality to your neighbor who 89 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: thinks that if you don't wear three masks when you're 90 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: driving alone in your car, you don't take the virus seriously. 91 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: This is a state of hysteria. I think we also 92 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: have to remember that because of the panic porn purveyors, 93 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: because of the way that we've all been made to 94 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: feel so afraid of coronavirus and have accepted authoritarianism in 95 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: America almost without question in many cities. I mean, it's 96 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: the cities that have been the worst for this, and 97 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: they've just gone along with whatever absurd fauciism has been 98 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: inflicted upon us. But you see this, it continues to 99 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: play out, and you realize that the American people are 100 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: emotionally a lot of them emotionally unwell. Right now, there 101 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: is a mass psychosis that has descended on this country 102 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: along with a viral pandemic, and people are exploiting it. 103 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: This is a time of near universal anxiety and often 104 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: exaggerated fear, and there are cynical, ruthless, selfish, power mad 105 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: people in the Democrat Party who want to use this 106 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: to their advantage. They are trying to run the Obama 107 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: administration playbook all over again, but this time, instead of 108 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: a financial crisis, it's a viral crisis. Right It's an 109 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: epidemiological challenge that we face. And that's the excuse for 110 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: doing whatever they want to do. Remember, you either a 111 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: god on board with Obama's stimulus or you didn't care 112 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: about workers. You didn't care about people. Almost a trillion 113 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: dollars spent didn't save the banks that had already been done. 114 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: But the Obama administration knew that a crisis was a 115 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: terrible thing to waste, especially if you're an authoritarian who 116 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: believes that your decision making, that your right to govern 117 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: is sacred. Although it doesn't come from God, it comes 118 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: from somewhere else, the state itself, because the state is 119 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: in place of God for Democrats, as you know, oh 120 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: I know, not all but the ones who run things. Yes, 121 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: it actually is. Nancy Pelosi is not an action. Nancy 122 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: Pelosi is not a spiritual person. I can assure you that. 123 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: And here we are being told that the capital has 124 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: to be treated like it is under siege, when really 125 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: what you're recognizing here is that freedom is under siege 126 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: in America right now, that the optics that they're creating 127 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: are meant to infringe upon your rights. The optics they're 128 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: creating gives the excuse for further crackdowns, for treating political 129 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: and policy disputes as though there existential crises for the 130 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: United States of America. This is how the Democrats come 131 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: into office. They promise normalcy. Are you feeling any normalcy yet? 132 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: Does this seem like things are going in the right direction? 133 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: Do you think that they're actually doing the things that 134 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: they promised during the election. I mean, so far, Biden 135 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: as visibly declining Democrat figurehead who just shuffles around mumbling 136 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: and signing whatever the activists and special interests put in 137 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: front of him, is working out exactly as predicted by 138 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: people like me. This is what you get. They promise technocracy, 139 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: they promise sound government that'll make things better for all 140 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: people that come in, and they focus on an open border, 141 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: transgender athletes, climate change, catastrophism, and controlling and micromanaging every 142 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: aspect of your life. This is what they do with 143 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: the power they've been given. Oh and now they're passing 144 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: a COVID relief bill that they've stalled for months and months. 145 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: You know, thousands and thousands of businesses have gone under forever, 146 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: people's life's work ruined, gone, families impoverished because Nancy Pelosi 147 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: wanted things to work out in her favor politically. I 148 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: didn't care about this. She wanted leverage, So they've delayed this. 149 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: Here we are in March, and we're still wondering when 150 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: will there be a coronavirus relief bill because this one 151 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: is just a Democrat wishless bill that happens to throw 152 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: in some nineteen relief so that they can make a 153 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: claim that we all know is ridiculous that the focus 154 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: of this is about helping the American people from COVID, 155 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: when the real focus of this is Democrats spending money 156 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: on whatever the heck they want. But they don't want 157 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: you to pay attention to that. You're not supposed to 158 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: see that. You know, you're supposed to see the barbed wire, 159 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: the fences, the National Guard soldiers deployed around our nation's 160 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: capital as a warning to anybody who would stand against 161 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 1: them and say, are you with the insurrectionists? Be quiet, 162 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: take what you're given. We're in charge. Now. That's the 163 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: normalcy that Biden is bringing to you. You're in the 164 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The buck Sexton Show podcast. 165 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: Get the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. Well, look, 166 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: I think the actions of the new democratic administration are 167 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: unifying the Republican Party. We've had some eternal back and 168 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: forth that's been widely covered, but nothing has unified the 169 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: Republican Party in both a House and the Senate faster 170 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: then reacting to this new left wing administration. So we're 171 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: looking forward. We're not going to look backward. We're looking forward, 172 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: dealing with the problems America has today, not the problems 173 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: ahead yesterday. And as I said, I have sensed in 174 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: our conference, and I think in the House Republican conference 175 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: as well, a new sense of unity pulling together to 176 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: oppose this left wing administration. Nothing unites Republicans like the clownishness, fecklessness, 177 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: and authoritarianism of the Democrat Party. These people are not 178 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: better at governing Democrats, Joe Biden, They're not smarter. They're 179 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: not bringing us together. It's like the country's being run 180 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: by the people writing the comments section an MSNBC, and 181 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: it's working out exactly as we thought. Gas price is 182 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: going up, employing, unemployment going up, people feeling shakier about 183 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: the economy and about the future. And what is the 184 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: activist left want? Doctor Seus's books getting banned. That's their focus. 185 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: That's what they decide. Oh, I know, you'd say, put 186 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: buck They made the decision themselves. Yeah, because they realized 187 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: that they were gonna get got by the left. They 188 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: were coming after them, So it's preemptive canceling. What could 189 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: be better than that. That's the whole point. Censors only 190 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: have to censor so much before they want you to 191 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: start doing it yourself. That's what social media is all about. 192 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: That's the reason that they keep banning people like me 193 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: from pulling out how stupid these lockdowns are. Because if 194 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: I get kicked off of social media. If I get 195 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: suspended or demonetize, or any number of things which keeps 196 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: happening to me, a lot of other people realize, well, 197 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with that. I'll just go 198 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: I'll just tow the party line. I'll just say what 199 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: I'm told, I'll do what I'm told. So they're making 200 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: their decisions. This is the chilling effect on speech. We 201 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: talk about having a society that upholds free speech. No, 202 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: that speech is being chilled like it's all in an 203 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: igloo somewhere on top of a glacier. It's freezing. But 204 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: this is where we are. This is the country that 205 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: we're dealing with right now, because unfortunately, the corporate media, 206 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: coupled with a pandemic, was enough to convince people that 207 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: somehow Joe Biden was a better steward of the economy 208 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: or would be and would make better foreign policy decisions 209 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: than his predecessor. And now we're all starting to see 210 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: what that reality is. The good news is that the 211 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: Democrats created a perception of something of some one with 212 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden that simply does not exist. Does not exist. 213 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is visibly in decline. We can all see it. 214 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: The guy's too old for the job. I said it 215 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: all along. I stand behind that, and the fact that 216 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: he hasn't held the press conference in over forty days. 217 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: I thought this was going to be a transparent administration. 218 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 1: I thought that they were going to have journalists that 219 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: would ask hard questions. I mean, that's laughable. We all 220 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: know that's laughable. But here we are, and what exactly 221 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: have they done that makes the lives of the American 222 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: people better? Having a crisis at the border that's supposed 223 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: to make us feel better, that's supposed to help us. 224 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: I don't understand how anybody can view what's happened since 225 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has come into power and think that somehow 226 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: this is good for the country. Even Mitch McConnell himself 227 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: is saying, look, the crisis at the border is of 228 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: their creation. Play fourteen is Secretary of Mayorkas, the head 229 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: of the Homeland Security says there's no crisis at the border. Well, 230 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: that's absolutely incorrect, And the crisis was created by the 231 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: administration sending a message to desperate people who want to 232 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: come here that just hang on, you'll get in sooner 233 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: or later. And of course the Mexican government done will 234 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: become less cooperative. One thing the previous administration did an 235 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: excellent job of any objective standard was border security, and 236 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: all of that is being undone very quickly in this 237 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: new administration. They own this crisis and the border. They 238 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: created it, and they could stop it if they chose to. 239 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: You know, there are illegal immigrants who are showing up 240 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: at the border. I'm serious, this was just reported today 241 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: wearing Biden let us in T shirts. They know exactly 242 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: what's going on. This isn't hard to figure out. And 243 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: this is like being told that you can just show 244 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: up with a winning lottery ticket. Now you got the 245 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: Biden administration in why go through years of immigration law 246 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: hassle and doing all these things and get your fees it, 247 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: get your green card, get no no, no no, just 248 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: show up, show up with a Biden let us in 249 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: T shirt. And the Democrats will recognize that this is 250 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: a political advantage for them to have more and more 251 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: people coming into the country who will owe their status 252 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: in the US to the Democrat Party and will also 253 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: need more assistance on average from the state from the 254 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: government than other immigrants than other Americans will. So of 255 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: course we understand who they're going to vote for in 256 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: the aggregate, not all of them, but seventy five to 257 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: ninety percent of them. And that's why Democrats are all 258 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: in favor of this. That's all this is. Do you 259 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: think it really matters if Biden is a buffoon, if 260 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: Biden doesn't govern well, if they can just create new 261 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: Democrat voters at will by kicking the border wine open, 262 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: you think that we're really going to win this. Look 263 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: at the trends right now. You have social media shutting 264 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: down conservatives. You have the biggest the biggest media companies 265 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: and platforms in the world, just the biggest companies really 266 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: now in the world are woke. They are anti conservative. 267 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: And this is all happening at a time when the 268 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: Democrats have full control, unified control really of the government. 269 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: I know the Senate is technically split, but it's a 270 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: de facto majority for the Democrats. And instead of trying 271 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: to bring us together, instead of showing people that the 272 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: Democrats will do a good job, I mean, I would 273 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: be happy to show up here one day and saying, wow, guys, 274 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: this Democrat plans really working out. I mean, look at 275 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: how much it's helping the American people. Look at how 276 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: this is really getting things going. Maybe we should, you know, 277 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: take a page from their playbook and the next time 278 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: around we'll try it. I'd be happy to do that 279 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: some day on something. Not a single thing could I 280 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: say that about? Not one, not one decision that Biden 281 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: has made since coming into office that was opposed by Republicans? Right, 282 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: So yes, getting people vaccinated. Of course it's a good idea. 283 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: This was already happening. Mean, there are things that are 284 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: going on with the government that are good. I'm not crazy, 285 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: But not a single change with this administration from the 286 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: previous administration on policy has been intelligent, has been good. 287 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: There's nothing what are they doing? So instead they want 288 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: to silence and shut you down? Then if they have to, 289 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: they'll just make new voters. This is the Buck Sexton 290 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I 291 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: hope everybody's realized by now these masks make a difference. 292 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: We are on the crust book being able to fundamentally 293 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: change the nature of this disease because of the way 294 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: which you're able to get vaccines in people's arms. We've 295 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: been able to move that all the way up to 296 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: the end of May to have enough for every American 297 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: to get every adult American to get a shot. And 298 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: the last thing, the last thing we need is neanderthal 299 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: thinking that in the meantime, everything's trying to take off 300 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: your masks. Forget it. It still matters. I carry a 301 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: card and they don't have it. I put it on 302 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: my desk a less. As of yesterday, we've lost five 303 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: hundred eleven thousand, eight hundred and seventy four Americans. They 304 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: will lose thousands more. This will not occur. We might 305 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 1: have everybody vaccinated, so sometime in the summer we have 306 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: the vaccine to do it. Getting a shot in someone's 307 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: arm and getting the second shot, you're gonna take time, 308 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: and is critical, critical, critical, critical that they follow the science. 309 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 1: Wash your hands hot water, do it frequently, where a mask, 310 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: and stay socially distance. And I know you all about that. 311 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: I wish the heck some of our elected efficially do it. 312 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: So fact you very much. Yeah for the science, Yeah, 313 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: the science, you know, the actual science in terms of 314 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: the data. I don't like this term the science, as 315 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: though that is an argument end or they use this. 316 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: They use the term and Biden does this all the time, 317 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: has all along the science to mean, listen to what 318 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm dictating to you as a policy matter or else. 319 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: There's a difference between data and decision making. But they 320 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: try to cloud this, They try to create a confusion 321 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: between those two things. Right, I can look at data 322 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: and say, hmm, there's a lot of other factors now 323 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: that I have to consider before I make a decision 324 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: about what to do as a result of it. Right, 325 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: And this comes into play now when you have people 326 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: that are already bringing up the possibility of masking up 327 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: and social I mean social distancing isn't a policy. It 328 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: just means human beings staying away for other human beings, 329 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: which doesn't work in practice. In America, people around other 330 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: people all the time. We have no way of actually 331 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: separating people from people for over a year, it doesn't work. 332 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: As the numbers all across America's show. And for people 333 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: that are saying, well, what about this country? What about 334 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: that country? Every country is different in terms of its 335 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: age profile, obesity, comorbidities, previous exposure of the general population 336 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: to coronaviruses that may be similar to this one. Every 337 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: country is different our country. You see the numbers yourself, 338 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 1: do you think that the mitigation measures all worked. They're saying, oh, 339 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: I will Joe Barnel will say fifty thousand lives, fifty thousand, 340 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: not forty eight fifty thousand lives if we mask up. 341 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: How do they come to that number? All they did 342 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: some modeling. They've got some people who are sitting at 343 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: computers and throw some numbers in there, you know, the 344 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: same way that they tell you what the temperature is 345 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: going to be, the global average temperature will be in 346 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: fifty years, which they will be wrong, guaranteed. And then 347 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: they'll say, oh, but now we figured out why they're wrong, 348 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: so the next fifty years will be critical. The same 349 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: thing you're seeing over and over again. I see all 350 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: this happening right now, and I gotta tell you it's 351 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: it's stunning to me, honestly, how long it's taken for 352 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: people to realize what a clown show it has been. 353 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: With the people in charge here making all these decisions. 354 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: These public health experts, public health officials, most people that 355 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: work in a municipal public health function are slightly more 356 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: impressive than your average DMV employee. That's the truth, slightly. 357 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: I actually went to the DMV in New York recent 358 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: I gotta say, lady was working with me, very polite, 359 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: went pretty well. But these people have been making decisions 360 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: that are having enormous impact on lives, and they're doing it, 361 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,959 Speaker 1: they say, because they're saving lives. Where is the evidence 362 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: of that, Biden saying it's neanderthal thinking to change change 363 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: some of our restrictions in different states. Do you think 364 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: he'll apologize for that when, as I've said, we're going 365 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: to come back to this in the middle of April. 366 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: We're going to see did Texas cases continue to just 367 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: go in a straight line decline down? Because if mitigation 368 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: measures in place at government mandate different than what you 369 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: want to do yourself. If you want to wear two masks, 370 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: you want to wear ten masks, you want to stay 371 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: home for the next six months, go for it. This 372 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: was always a question not about what somebody should be 373 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: able to do as an individual to protect themselves. That's 374 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: up to you, that is an individual right now. This 375 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 1: was always about what all of us are made to 376 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: do because of the excess anxiety and authoritarian tendency that's 377 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: out there right now. This is about being forced to 378 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: do things in the name of the defense of the 379 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: collective health that have real world consequences for people. Destruction 380 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: of businesses. I mean, how many of you would be 381 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: willing to take pretty extreme risks to prevent your business 382 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: or your job from going away, your bank account from 383 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: going to zero, perhaps racking up ten, fifteen, twenty thousand 384 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: dollars of credit card debt during this period that you 385 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: won't be able to get out of. I mean, the 386 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: financial ruination of lives is a real consequences. It's not 387 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: just a little thing. It's not about people just want 388 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: to get a hair cut. Remember that. That's what That's 389 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: the snide, dismissive garbage that the morons at CNN and 390 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: other places we're pushing out there to the public when 391 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: we were saying, hold on to these lockdowns really work? 392 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: Is this really sensible? Why are we doing this? Why 393 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: have we never done this before? Never in the history 394 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: You have to remember this, because the gas lighting is 395 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: constant and all this stuff. Never before in the history 396 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: of modern medicine. Okay, never before since we've even known 397 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: about antibiotics, have we done mass quarantine, which is what 398 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: this is. This is mass quarantine or quasi quarantine, mass masking. 399 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: All this stuff never happened before. We've been through terrible 400 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: flue seasons that killed tens of thousands of people. We've 401 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: had you know, all this and no, no, no, this 402 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: never happened before. But it's so obvious, don't you see 403 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: That's what they tell you. Now clearly this is not 404 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: only is it obvious we should do it for COVID, 405 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: but now they're starting to say, you're just beginning to 406 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: hear it people popping up on TV. Maybe we should 407 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: do this every winter. Maybe just sort of, you know, 408 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: scale everything down, stay at home, mask up. I just 409 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: I wish to God that there had been a country 410 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: that had decided that that was in a position to say, 411 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: we're just not going to do any of this and 412 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: we're going to track everything. I wish there was a 413 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: state where this would have been the too. Now. I 414 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: know some of you're gonna say Florida or you're gonna 415 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: say Sweden, but there have been some restriction, some some 416 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: shutdowns in place in those count in either Sweden in 417 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: the case of the country, or you know, Florida. You 418 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: go to Miami, you got to wear masks when you 419 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: go into restaurants. There's a different feeling about it, and 420 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: people aren't acting like you're a mass murderer. If you 421 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: walk in you're breathing air like a person does. But 422 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: it hasn't been entirely without these I just wish we 423 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: had a true control group because I think what you'd 424 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: see is by the way, I'm not I'm not delusional. 425 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: I don't think that the absence of mitigation measures would 426 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: have been some kind of a panacea by any stretch. 427 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: That's crazy, but I think it would have been basically 428 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: what you've seen in places that did do extreme lockdowns. 429 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: That's that's what the If you look at the data 430 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: honestly in this country and try to get a real 431 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: and accurate comparison, what you find is what Rohn de 432 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: Santis is saying now openly, which is that lockdowns don't work. 433 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: They'll never admit that. Do you think they'll ever tell you, Yeah, 434 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: we had this unbelievable power grab. We were telling you 435 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: you couldn't go to church. We were telling you to 436 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: mask up or double mask. Cuomo was actually going on TV, 437 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: remember this, Governor Cuomo, New York saying if you don't mask, 438 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: you could kill somebody. That's what he was saying. You're 439 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 1: like a murderer if you don't do what they say, 440 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: this was a mass hysteria, And now we actually look 441 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: at it, do you find out, hold on, was any 442 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 1: of this worthwhile? Did we need to do this? Should 443 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: individuals have just been left to make their own decisions 444 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: and focus protection, which would have meant making sure that 445 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: nursing homes received, you know, a vast majority of the 446 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: resources and testing and everything else to try to prevent 447 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: what has happened. What happened was this virus burned through 448 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: nursing homes across the country. That's what actually happened. They 449 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: act like they got ahead of this, the measures the 450 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: public health. We know the virus ripped through nursing homes 451 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: all across the country. Fifty percent roughly fifty percent of 452 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: deaths in America from COVID nineteen in nursing homes. Does 453 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: anyone think that that's the result of really excellent prevention. No, 454 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: this virus just spread all across the country, tens of millions, 455 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: perhaps now hundreds of millions of infections in total. And 456 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: they act like we stopped it or we listening to 457 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: them was some kind of a game changer. Ah. Really, yeah, 458 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: this is this is this is the world of fantasy, 459 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: unfortunately that they live in, and it's why now they're 460 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 1: they're fighting so much against a reopen that's a little 461 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: bit earlier, because the places that reopen a little bit earlier, 462 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: just like we saw last spring, will be the same 463 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: as the places that are wear a mask, stay at home, 464 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: wash your hands, be the same. That doesn't mean there 465 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: won't be cases and deaths. There will, But what's the 466 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: point of doing this stuff and suffering all the consequences 467 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: of the lockdown if there's actually no real aggregate benefit. 468 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Joined the conversation 469 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email team Bucket 470 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it on the show. 471 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: The two things Brian first obviously is not the type 472 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: of thing that a president should be saying. But second, 473 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: he kind of said on the worst day he could 474 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 1: have because the same day he said that in Texas, 475 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: the Biden administration was releasing illegal immigrant illegal immigrants into 476 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: our communities who had COVID. The Biden administration was spreading 477 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: COVID in South Texas yesterday because of their lack of 478 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: constraint of testing and quarantining people who'd come across the 479 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: border illegally. The Biden administration was exposing Texans to COVID. 480 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: That is Neanderthal type approach to dealing with the COVID situation. 481 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: But more importantly, Brian is this, and that is with 482 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: regard to mass the change in Texas really wasn't all 483 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: that much different from where we were before for a 484 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: couple of reasons. First, we are still strongly advocating that 485 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: every Texans followed the best practice. Where we are today 486 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: is completely different from where we were this time last 487 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: year when Texans and Americans didn't know how to deal 488 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: with this for an entire year. Texans have learned the 489 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: best practice, and that is to wear a mask. And 490 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: we still strongly recommend that people do wear a mask. 491 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: Sense a little bit of a little bit of backpedaling 492 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: here from Governor Rabbit, which is disconcerting to say the least, 493 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: But this is what you've seen all along. You're a politician, 494 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: you finally say that you're going to you're going to 495 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: cease bending the need of the madness, and the crazy 496 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: town just comes after you from all over the place. 497 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: You're murdering people. This stuff. This is what they say, 498 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: this is what they do, and I've got to tell you, 499 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: I'm I'm angry because we're going to go back into 500 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: this this period now where you have people that are 501 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: are demanding, they're to keep demanding that you do these 502 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: things until they feel safe. This is a society we 503 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: live in now, you know. It's it's like we're all 504 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: we're all being turned into the kids that get sent 505 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: to recess by mom and dad with you know, a 506 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: helmet and kneepads and making sure that you know you 507 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: only have a hypoallergenic pillow with you at all times. 508 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: I mean, this is what they're doing to this country 509 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: because what are the real what are the real benefits 510 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: of what they've done so far? I mean, I'm talking 511 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: about mandates, government action, individuals, so many people. You know, 512 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: you know what they should do is go back to 513 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: the studies where they were finding that people, most of 514 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: the people, I think it was last summer in July, 515 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: they found that seventy percent of new infections were people 516 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: who claimed me masking up as required all the time, 517 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: they're still getting sick. How how effective could we really 518 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: think this is when you had you had mass mass compliance. 519 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: Remember last April when the virus was at very high levels. 520 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: You've had very few people really in March and April 521 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: who were wearing masks as a portion of the general population. 522 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: And then we went through a period where it was 523 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: all across the country much more common, much higher compliance, 524 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: and we still went into a winter with skyrocketing cases 525 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: and hospitalizations in deaths. And I mean, they will, I 526 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: know they will will always argue that, well, it would 527 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: have been so much worse if you hadn't had these 528 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: policies in place. But they're just they're never going to 529 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: admit it. I'm going to I'm not going to relent. 530 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: I'm not going to stop. But I think what people 531 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: are seeing now, and I believe the market's beginning to 532 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: react to this, the stock market, which is a weather 533 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: vane of sorts of the economy. I think the stock 534 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: markets react in the fact that the Biden people all 535 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: they have to do is get out of the way 536 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: and stop being idiots. And they really believe they're smarter. 537 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: They really believe the conventional wisdom from the New York 538 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: Times editorial page and CNN pundits pretending to be journalists. 539 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: They think that that's actually a reflection of reality. I 540 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: meant to get to this before. John Brennan XCI director, 541 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: who's clearly a loon. He said that he was embarrassed 542 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: to be a white male. Recently we talked about that. 543 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: He's another one of these guys who is just perpetuating 544 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: this myth. And it is a myth that now, all 545 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: of a sudden, we have the adults in charge. Play sixteen. 546 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: When I was President Obama's homand Security advisor, I'd be 547 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: talking to the Director of Pi'd be talking to the 548 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: Secretary of homemand Security, Capitol Police, the sergeant at arms 549 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: in both houses to make sure that all of the 550 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: preparations were in place. I don't believe that the White 551 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: House did any of that in advance of January sixth. 552 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: Now we have adults in the White House, and I 553 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: think they're going to take this seriously. We have adults 554 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: in the White House. This is the story. This is 555 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: the branding exercise that we're going to contin you to 556 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: go through. Um, what have they done so far that 557 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: makes you think that that's true. They've handled the border 558 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: crisis so well, the cancelation of the Keystone XL pipeline. 559 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: Did you ever hear Joe Biden say he was going 560 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: to do that when he was running. I don't remember 561 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: that day one right away. Gonna get those those sanctimonious 562 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: environmentalists with big check books. You gotta get them, you 563 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: know in Malibu and Santa Monica, Gotta get them, and 564 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: and the Bay area of San Francisco sending money a Democrats, 565 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: So do something that makes them feel like they're saving 566 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: the planet. You know, while they order around the servants 567 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,719 Speaker 1: tell them to, you know, trim the hedges faster. That's 568 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: that's who really runs the Democrat Party. The people that 569 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: have that kind of mentality, that's who's actually in charge, 570 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: the Pelosi's, if you will, of America. Um. But they 571 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: continue to perpetuate the lie that this is this is 572 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: now the administration run by adults who exactly who do 573 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: you trust? Who do you think is a really sound 574 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: thinker that Joe Biden has put into a place of authority. 575 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you have Merrick Garlands as the Attorney General. 576 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: When he's asked questions that are tough, he just goes, well, 577 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: I haven't really thought about that. You know, this is 578 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: this is the the great legal mind or that's a 579 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: that's really just a complicated question, right, This is this 580 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: is going to be quite a fight over the next 581 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: two years because Trump psychologically damaged the Democrats so much 582 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 1: that whatever common ground would have been easy to find 583 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: with them in the past on certain issues, on some 584 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: issues has has largely receded or perhaps evaporated. It's just gone. 585 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: This is a party that is really the Democrats. They 586 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: put they put Biden forward so that they can get 587 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: AOC ideas done. That's really the game here, and I 588 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: think people are waking up to it. I think people 589 00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: are starting to understand that that's what's happening. You're listening 590 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,240 Speaker 1: to the Fuck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe 591 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app or wherever 592 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. It's time for our friend Kurt 593 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 1: schlichtored away in on all of this. He is a 594 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: senior columnist at town Hall. He's also a veteran of 595 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 1: the United States military and an attorney. Mister Schleector could 596 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: have you back he here. Hey, I had a lot 597 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: of fun at Seatpack. I'm not telling yeah now, Seapack 598 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: was Seatpack was good times. I think they should do 599 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: it in Florida every year. Personally, tell me this man, 600 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 1: do too, what do you think about Congress shutting down 601 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: because of unspecified internet chatter about q Anon. While they 602 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: have thousands of FISS deployed by the way and fencing 603 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: up and everything else, the only people talking about QAnon 604 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: are liberal media people. I mean, seriously, we just spent that. 605 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,919 Speaker 1: We just spent like four days surrounded by conservatives, often 606 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: at close quarters drinking. Did you hear anybody refer to 607 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: you in anything but like a joke? I mean, like 608 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 1: even one part. Was there one person They're going, No, 609 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: manque's a real thing that exists. It's so freaking stupid. 610 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: It's this weird fantasy boogee man that they've invented, and 611 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: it's hysterical. And now that Look, I'm for anything that 612 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: keeps Congress from doing anything. Look, I mean that's like 613 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: and if and if mythical uh capital letters are what 614 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: it takes to keep Congress from performing mischief, fine, that's cool. 615 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: What isn't cool is turning Capitol Hill into a fortress 616 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: and screwing with our soldiers. Did you know several soldiers 617 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: apparently had to go get medical treatment because the food 618 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: that they were getting was so substandard, and of course, 619 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,800 Speaker 1: five miles away as the Pentagon. You'd you'd think somebody 620 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: there would do something about it. But then again, they're 621 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: probably planning intersectional operations. How is it possible. I mean, 622 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 1: this is something that I saw the heads of this 623 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 1: as well. We got we got members of the United 624 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: States military deployed at our in our nation's capital, at 625 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill, and they're being given like rotted, moldy food. 626 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I thought the Pentagon, they can't get these 627 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,320 Speaker 1: guys from MRIs, like, what's going on. Look, the military 628 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: is not no longer a serious organization, and I hate 629 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:20,839 Speaker 1: to see that. I mean, thirty years ago right now, 630 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 1: I was in Desert Storm. It had just pretty much ended. 631 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: I was with seven Core, which was the grass military 632 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: formation in human history, and I know what competence looks like. 633 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: This is a joke. I mean, they violate every basic 634 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: rule of leadership. And the thing that galls me is 635 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 1: it's not a secret. The generals are five miles away. 636 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: They could be in their car over there unscrewing this 637 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: in about ten minutes, and they're not because they don't care. 638 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: Because that's not the priority. The priority is all this 639 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: intersectional blogny that has taken away from the real focus 640 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: of the military, WHI should be the ability to deter 641 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: or defeat enemies. How much of there is that? How 642 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: much of that is really going on right now with 643 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: the intersectionality training and all this in the military. I mean, 644 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 1: can you give us a sense of how and where 645 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: that's actually happening. That's happening at every level. And a 646 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: lot of US veterans are getting a lot of feedback 647 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: from people still in there, like Kurt, you don't know 648 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: how bad this is. This is the entire focus. And 649 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: the problem is you have you know, career officers fourteen 650 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: fifteen years, they're they're they're looking to make the last 651 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,919 Speaker 1: few to retire, and suddenly they're faced with this nonsense. Look, 652 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: soldiers do with the commander's check and if the commanders 653 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 1: are checking boxes, that's what they're going to do. That's 654 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 1: what's going to happen. If intersectionality is the and all that, 655 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 1: you know, all this nonsense is the most important thing, 656 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: That's what the soldiers are going to do. And I 657 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: think it's gonna cost lives and it doesn't make me 658 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: happy to say it, but the fallout I'm seeing is 659 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: most of US bets are now not recommending people join 660 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 1: the military. This is something this this is heartbreaking to me. 661 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: It's been twice seven years in I regret, uh, not 662 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: a second of it. I think it was a great experience. 663 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: But right now, in good conscience, I don't know if 664 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: I can tell a young person you you should join 665 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: the military. I won't try and talk them out of it, 666 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 1: at least not yet. But I don't think this is 667 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 1: a place for somebody who is concerned about their own 668 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 1: We reached the point where even even branches like like 669 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: the Marine Corps, the fabled Marine Corps, are they are 670 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 1: they getting toxic masculinity training in the classroom. I mean 671 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: there's that stuff happening. Oh absolutely, there's there's no safe 672 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,839 Speaker 1: space the Special Forces guys are doing. You know, when 673 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: you have the Special Forces guys being briefed on your extremists, um, 674 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: that's that's a major problem. And of course, when you 675 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 1: say extremists, when you use these kind of nebulous terms, 676 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: what you're really doing is the political enemies are the 677 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: people in power. So you know, the idea that there 678 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 1: are tons of secret Nazis you know, running around in 679 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 1: our military is IDII. But there are a lot of 680 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: conservative folks those are the target. Nobody cares about the 681 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 1: like one random dude who's got a swastika you know 682 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: on his uh, you know, tattooed on his heel. That 683 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 1: that one lunatic is not the issue. The issue for 684 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 1: them is getting rid of mainstream conservative, patriotic Americans and 685 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 1: replacing them by people who are in lockstuff. And I 686 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: think we will see the equivalent. They won't call it that, 687 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 1: the equivalent political officers, and I mean why not, you know, 688 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 1: at every level, And that is not an exaggeration. That's 689 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: what God souls and nets in political officer when he 690 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,240 Speaker 1: was on the front, fighting for fighting for the Russian people, 691 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: and they decided, then souls and neats it into the 692 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: Gulag because of some letters that the political officer got 693 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 1: worried about, and that's all. That's all it takes. Is 694 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: actually one of the great reminders in The Hunt for 695 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: the Hunt for Red October. You know, they they kill 696 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 1: the political officer. Sean Connery kills the political officer in 697 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 1: the movie at the very beginning, and and everybody's you know, 698 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 1: like that's we get it, because he's basically he's the 699 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 1: equivalent of the political hall monitor. And I think that 700 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 1: we're turning into a society right now where people are 701 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: are increasingly encouraged to snitch on one another, to ruin careers, 702 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 1: to ruin lives, to ruin reputations based upon constantly shifting 703 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: political goal posts that that the left makes up as 704 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: they go along too. I mean, that's the part of 705 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: this that it's it's clear already no one's actually safe 706 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: from this. And you know, this is why you have 707 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: that guy, you know for the Bachelor who just got 708 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 1: fired and now he's he's you know what I'm talking 709 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,759 Speaker 1: I never watched the show, but you know whatever his 710 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: name is. Yeah, I mean, first of all, the batchelor 711 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 1: I've never understood, because understand the concept. You've got a 712 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: guy with twenty women fighting over him and they're all 713 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: talking about they're all talking about they're all talking about soulmates. 714 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here, I'm like, this is actually not 715 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: if I were a woman. I don't I don't understand that. 716 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 1: But let's get back to Chris. Chris Harrison, I think 717 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: his name. He's meeting with a like a racial I 718 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: don't know, some kind of racial counselor. That was the 719 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 1: story today and this this doesn't. Actually, this stuff never 720 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,240 Speaker 1: actually really works, right you. You you bend the knee, 721 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,760 Speaker 1: you beg forgiveness, and you're still destroyed, you're still canceled, 722 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: and now you don't even have your dignity. That's the 723 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:46,280 Speaker 1: problem exactly. You know, if you're a submissive, you're always 724 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: going to be a submissive. Gina Corrano is more man 725 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: than most men in this society because she just said, 726 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: the hell with you, I'm not going to give in. 727 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 1: I just don't care. And I think we need a 728 00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: lot more of that. You know, these people are class 729 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: journalist buck. You punch them and they fold. Gina Corona 730 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: doesn't need the Maridalorian or whatever the hell that kids 731 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,959 Speaker 1: show is. Uh, she's a talent all on her own, 732 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: and the rest of us need to do the same thing. 733 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,280 Speaker 1: I mean, look, but the funny thing is they usually 734 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: go for the soft targets like doctor SEUs, right, you know, 735 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 1: doctor SEUs was a damn communeist, sympathize or I mean 736 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,919 Speaker 1: it was just a hardcore leftist and now they're they're 737 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: trashing him and I just think it's hilarious. But the 738 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: point is they will go for the soft targets. They 739 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,240 Speaker 1: go to they go at other New York Times people 740 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,879 Speaker 1: because they can't fight and the guys can't apologize enough. 741 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 1: We need to be the rock when somebody comes up 742 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 1: to you say, here, race is sexy imperialist. Yeah, to 743 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 1: just kind of lift a middle finger and laugh at him. 744 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,399 Speaker 1: There's some about it. There's a prescription from the film 745 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 1: from Colonel Kurt uh Go check out his ladies Atownhall 746 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: dot com.

Thanks a lot, you're 748 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 1: in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to the buck 749 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Buck at buck 750 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 1: Sexton dot com. Certainly, there's no doubt in anyone's mind 751 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 1: that that form of President Trump is very, very popular 752 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:21,240 Speaker 1: among his constituencies, who numbers in the tens of millions 753 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,360 Speaker 1: of people. That would have been an extraordinarily good opportunity 754 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: to get a signal to the people who would clearly 755 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: have listened to him the way they listened to him 756 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 1: in many other ways. He has a great deal of influence. 757 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,399 Speaker 1: It was just unfortunately a lost opportunity because he could 758 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,280 Speaker 1: have gotten a lot of people who are hesitant about 759 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 1: getting vaccinated vaccinated. This is why we know Fauci. This 760 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: is number reason number you know, four thousand and three 761 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,800 Speaker 1: hundred and ten for how Fauci is a little hack, 762 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: a little Democrat, and is very clearly doing the bidding 763 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 1: of one political party. Okay, a little bit of a 764 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: little bit of a history lesson in recent history for 765 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: doctor Faucci. It was in fact, Joe Biden and Kamala 766 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 1: Harris who in the summer and into the fall of 767 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty were dabbling in anti vax talking points at 768 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: all under the claim that you can't really trust a 769 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 1: vaccine with Donald Trump as president. Remember that, Oh they 770 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,320 Speaker 1: would play this little game, Oh we'll listen to scientists, 771 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 1: but can you really trust a vaccine that Donald Trump 772 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:32,280 Speaker 1: as president was overseeing the development of even though he wasn't. 773 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: He was just providing the logistics and funding and government backstopping. 774 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 1: It was big farmer companies that were doing the research. 775 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 1: But I want everyone to remember this, here's Fauci blaming 776 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 1: Trump for vaccine hesitancy. And I would also note that 777 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 1: vaccine hesitancy is very high in this country among minorities 778 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,879 Speaker 1: who are generally more likely to be Biden voters than 779 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 1: they are Trump voters in the aggregate, and yet Fauci 780 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,280 Speaker 1: will take a cheap shot here at Trump. He didn't 781 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: convince his followers to believe in the vaccine. Kamala and Joe, 782 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,759 Speaker 1: and I really think Kamala's name should start to go first. 783 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 1: We should start to get used to that. It's only 784 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 1: a matter of time before Kamala takes over. It's only 785 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 1: a matter of time. But Kamala and Joe, we're the 786 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,839 Speaker 1: ones saying, you can't really trust this. You don't know 787 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 1: what Trump was willing to do to game this process, 788 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,240 Speaker 1: and I think that they should be held to account 789 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: for that. I know they won't be held to account, 790 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 1: but I'm saying they should be. I'm saying, what what's 791 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:46,760 Speaker 1: happened here is wrong that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris 792 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,839 Speaker 1: are effectively able to get away with this. They were 793 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 1: the ones that were sowing doubt in the minds of 794 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 1: their voters. Anything to beat Trump, that was that was 795 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:02,920 Speaker 1: the mantra, that was the idea. We also have we 796 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,720 Speaker 1: also have here Fauci doing the bidding of the teachers 797 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 1: unions play clip four. There are several reasons that it's complicated. 798 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,440 Speaker 1: It's just not easy open or shut. There are several issues. 799 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 1: First of all, you want to make sure that the 800 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 1: first and most important thing is to guarantee the safety 801 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 1: and the health of the children, of the teachers and 802 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 1: other people in the educational program. We've got to make 803 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 1: sure that the schools have their resources to do the 804 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,480 Speaker 1: kinds of things they need to do, which would be 805 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 1: making sure they have masks and ppe making sure that 806 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 1: the ventilation system can be improved to be able to 807 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 1: diminish the likelihood that they will be spread of infection. 808 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 1: Ventilation systems improved in schools. I mean, is this little 809 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 1: tyrant out of his mind? Does he have any understanding 810 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 1: of how long that would really take and how expensive 811 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: that would be? To think about what he's saying here, 812 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 1: it's not really safe for schools until they have improved 813 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: ventilation systems. What does that even mean? They're gonna put 814 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,719 Speaker 1: special filters in all the classrooms. I mean, think about this. 815 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 1: They bring this up like it's, you know, not that 816 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:23,640 Speaker 1: big a deal. You know, it's something that's doable. It's 817 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: amazing to hear somebody who's who's supposed to be a 818 00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:31,920 Speaker 1: public health official, uh say something that's just so obtuse. 819 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 1: You've got in this country a few million public school teachers. 820 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got just thousands and thousands and thousands 821 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,319 Speaker 1: of schools all across the country. You're gonna you're gonna 822 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:52,879 Speaker 1: change the ventilation systems. It's a it's amazing, it really 823 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 1: is stunning. Um. But he's got to create excuses. That's 824 00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 1: what he knows what he has to do. He understood 825 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,360 Speaker 1: dance who his masters are. Fauci gets it. The teachers 826 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,799 Speaker 1: unions want to strike a bargain here. They want they 827 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: want they want more money, and they want contract adjustments 828 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 1: which would allow them to have at least some degree 829 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:21,919 Speaker 1: of teach from home. We all get it. Teachers want 830 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,320 Speaker 1: want that flexibility, and they want it going forward for 831 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 1: as long as they want to do it. Think about that, 832 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,320 Speaker 1: Think about what you know. You're basically in a position 833 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,640 Speaker 1: where you don't have to actually deal with kids, be 834 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,600 Speaker 1: around them, interact with them. You get to sit at home, 835 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 1: speak into a computer and get your full pay and benefits, 836 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,720 Speaker 1: no more commuting. You can do it from probably anywhere. 837 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,320 Speaker 1: I guess if you're a teacher, you probably have to 838 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,000 Speaker 1: technically live in the school district. I don't know. How 839 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:50,439 Speaker 1: that works in different places. But of course they want 840 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 1: this and this is their opportunity. This is about benefits 841 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:59,200 Speaker 1: for adults. It's not about safety for kids. Foucci dances 842 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 1: to the require hired tune every single time. Where's Founci 843 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,960 Speaker 1: on outdoor masking? Somebody should and somebody should really press 844 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,240 Speaker 1: this little tyrant on where is the science that shows 845 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: where's the data? Forget this term science they throw out. 846 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 1: Where's the data that shows that there is a serious 847 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,680 Speaker 1: risk of transmission of this disease from people being outside? 848 00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,959 Speaker 1: Walk around the streets of New York City right now? 849 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 1: Ninety five percent of the people you see alone on 850 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:36,120 Speaker 1: the street, outside or massed up, ninety five just walk around. 851 00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 1: I do it every day. I see it. But oh no, 852 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 1: we're still still supposed to listen to the fouch. Not 853 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:44,840 Speaker 1: surprising at all. I'm sure for you to hear that 854 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,840 Speaker 1: he doesn't want us to pull back on the code 855 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,359 Speaker 1: measures play six. You know, my strong advice to them, Joe, 856 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,880 Speaker 1: would be to actually continue to implement the public health meshes. 857 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 1: Now is not the time to pull back. The good 858 00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:02,240 Speaker 1: news is that we have vaccines coming online. You saw 859 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 1: the curve of the infections per day coming down. But 860 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 1: over the last seven days or so, we've reached a 861 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 1: bit of a plateau with a deflection of the curve. 862 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,319 Speaker 1: Isn't going straight down the way it was. That's a 863 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 1: bad sign. We've seen that before. We've seen that last 864 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,239 Speaker 1: summer when we were trying to so call open up 865 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,640 Speaker 1: the economy and open up the country, when we said 866 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 1: there were certain guidelines that you should adhere to, and 867 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,799 Speaker 1: as you know, there was variable adherence to those guidelines, 868 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,840 Speaker 1: and then we had that really big surge that we 869 00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,200 Speaker 1: don't want to repeat now. I mean, we were going 870 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,840 Speaker 1: in the right direction. Now's the time to keep the 871 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,439 Speaker 1: foot on the accelerator and not pull off because the 872 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,000 Speaker 1: thing that we don't want is yet again another surge. 873 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,400 Speaker 1: So I would advise the people of Texas and Mississippi 874 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 1: to just abide by the public health measures that we 875 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 1: talk about all the time, the uniform wearing of mask 876 00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:01,759 Speaker 1: physical distancing, avoiding congregate settings, particularly the indoors, washing your 877 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,960 Speaker 1: hands frequently. We just have to keep doing that because 878 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: we know it works. How do we know it works exactly? 879 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 1: He didn't know it worked a year ago when he 880 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,839 Speaker 1: told you that masking it was silly. One year ago, 881 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 1: almost to the day. I think it was March eighth, 882 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 1: one year ago. Masking for the public is silly now 883 00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:26,000 Speaker 1: it's we know it works. Oh, it works so well 884 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 1: in this country, hasn't it. We've seen nothing but an 885 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,840 Speaker 1: increase in mask usage over the last twelve months all 886 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,640 Speaker 1: across the country's just been going up and up and 887 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:38,200 Speaker 1: up and up. And notice it's so convenient. Whenever there's 888 00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:42,040 Speaker 1: a surge, it's because we didn't do what Fauci told us. 889 00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 1: That's why there was a surge. It's not the seasonality 890 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 1: of the virus. It's not the natural progression of this 891 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,879 Speaker 1: thing through different communities. No, it's you weren't listening enough. 892 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,360 Speaker 1: If you think this guy wants to go back to 893 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 1: being an obscure bureaucrat who pops up once or twice 894 00:52:58,239 --> 00:52:59,879 Speaker 1: on a morning show to tell people to wash their 895 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,080 Speaker 1: and during flu season, you're not paying attention that much. 896 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:07,799 Speaker 1: I can tell you this is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 897 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:12,600 Speaker 1: Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and I think 898 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,919 Speaker 1: we have The CDC have been very clear that now 899 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:19,080 Speaker 1: is not the time to release all restrictions. I do 900 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 1: think that, as I said in my remarks the next 901 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,760 Speaker 1: month or two is really pivotal in terms of how 902 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,840 Speaker 1: this pandemic goes. As we scale a vaccination, we really 903 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,920 Speaker 1: do need to decrease the amount of virus that is 904 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,280 Speaker 1: circulating as we're trying to vaccimate all of the public. 905 00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:38,719 Speaker 1: I will also note that you know, every individual is 906 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 1: empowered to do the right thing here regardless of but 907 00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 1: the states decide for personal health, for public health, for 908 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 1: their health and their loved ones and communities. I would 909 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 1: still encourage individuals to wear a mask, to socially distance 910 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 1: and to do the right thing to protect their own health. 911 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 1: No one has a problem, I want to be very clear. 912 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:04,960 Speaker 1: No one has a problem with individuals taking actions, making 913 00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:08,279 Speaker 1: making decisions to protect their own health. That's life. That's 914 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,200 Speaker 1: what you should be doing every day, right. It would 915 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 1: be fun if I would just have four or five 916 00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 1: glasses of mescal, you know, whenever I've had a long day. 917 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 1: But I realize that there's going to be a cost, 918 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,399 Speaker 1: so I don't do that. We're all making our own 919 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,279 Speaker 1: decisions every day about how to stay healthy. You know, 920 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:26,799 Speaker 1: it would be even more fun if I could just 921 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 1: find a lot of cookie dough to eat every night, 922 00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,640 Speaker 1: as as a little sweet treat but you know, I 923 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,799 Speaker 1: realized that long term the health benefits of that are 924 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 1: not good, or that rather the health implications are not good. 925 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,600 Speaker 1: So we're all making decisions for our health all the time. 926 00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 1: That's a very very basic principle. And I have no 927 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 1: issue at all, and nor should anyone with a person 928 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 1: who wants to have, you know, tremendous caution in what 929 00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 1: they're willing to do. Who's a person who's who's going 930 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 1: to uh, you know, look at if you want to 931 00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 1: mask up in your own car, that's fine, just understand 932 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,319 Speaker 1: that that's not something you should expect other people to do, 933 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,759 Speaker 1: and that there's really no basis for it. But if 934 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,800 Speaker 1: it makes you feel better, if it's like a security blanket, fine. 935 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 1: But you notice that the status authoritarian democrats, they want 936 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,480 Speaker 1: the force of the state telling you what you can 937 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,640 Speaker 1: and can't do here. They don't want that to go away. 938 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,120 Speaker 1: And if you want a perfect example of it, exactly 939 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,480 Speaker 1: the kind of idiocy that is prevalent out there in 940 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 1: the media. Do you all remember peteau pTau O'Rourke was 941 00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:39,080 Speaker 1: like he was totally going to be the next president. 942 00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,960 Speaker 1: He was born for it. And he's like, what has 943 00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,680 Speaker 1: he ever done. He's just you know, a doctrinaire liberal 944 00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:50,920 Speaker 1: who watches a lot of MSNBC and kind of like 945 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:58,760 Speaker 1: talks in this breathe like nineties TV host fashion and yeah, 946 00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,839 Speaker 1: but you could listen to bet right. He was back 947 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,759 Speaker 1: baby Beto Austin or is Robert O'Rourke, but let's call 948 00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:08,719 Speaker 1: him Beta because he's like so multicultural here he is. 949 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:13,960 Speaker 1: On what the GOP is a cult of death? Thirteen, 950 00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 1: I think it appeared to many of us to be 951 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,839 Speaker 1: a cult of personality the Republican Party in the era 952 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,960 Speaker 1: of Trump, and that probably still holds true. It's hard 953 00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,400 Speaker 1: to escape the conclusion that it's also a cult of death. 954 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,480 Speaker 1: You have extraordinarily anti democratic elements. I mean, look at 955 00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:35,400 Speaker 1: the insurrection on January sixth, or for any proof. You 956 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,840 Speaker 1: have anti governments elements literally running the government of the 957 00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 1: state of Texas, and it almost I used the phrase 958 00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 1: failed state because I think when you can't guarantee the electricity, 959 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:50,120 Speaker 1: the heat, the running water, the public welfare and safety, 960 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:54,040 Speaker 1: you are about there by any classic definition. You have 961 00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,920 Speaker 1: folks who are are literally upending civilization as we know 962 00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 1: it and completely indifferent to the sub costs forty four 963 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 1: thousand deaths alone just in the state of Texas. In 964 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,239 Speaker 1: El Passo, my home county where I am right now, 965 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,440 Speaker 1: there are two hundred and eighty bodies stacked up in 966 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 1: a warehouse because there are not enough grave diggers and 967 00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,160 Speaker 1: not enough graves to be dug to put them in 968 00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,240 Speaker 1: the ground. They had to call in the National Guard 969 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 1: to move the bodies. They had to set up ten 970 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,560 Speaker 1: mobile mores. And that's just in my city right now. 971 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 1: There's eighty five percent Mexican American. They just don't care, 972 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,440 Speaker 1: and that indifference is killing people in my community and 973 00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 1: throughout the state of Texas. What a what a vicious, 974 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:38,400 Speaker 1: vile slander from this little moron. We don't care about 975 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 1: the dead bodies. Really, that's where we're gonna go with Now. 976 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 1: We've been doing it their way, meaning the Beto Fauci 977 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,680 Speaker 1: lockdown or way, for a year and we've got all 978 00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,920 Speaker 1: these dead bodies. We've got five hundred thousand people have 979 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 1: died of COVID five hundred thousand plus. But now that 980 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 1: the virus is plummeting, and now that people are starting 981 00:57:58,400 --> 00:57:59,680 Speaker 1: to see the light at the end of the tunnel, 982 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,120 Speaker 1: don't do exactly what they say. When they say it, 983 00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,680 Speaker 1: you're killing people and you don't care about it. You're 984 00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,920 Speaker 1: a cult of death. You know who the cult of 985 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 1: death is the psychopaths who think that ripping a baby 986 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:13,640 Speaker 1: out of a mother's womb and chopping it up into 987 00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,920 Speaker 1: little pieces is a right to choose. That's a cult 988 00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:21,280 Speaker 1: of death and it's al central tenant of the Democrat 989 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,920 Speaker 1: Party today. In fact, one of the single clearest ways 990 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,840 Speaker 1: you separate out Democrat from Republican is do you think 991 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,000 Speaker 1: that a baby is not really a baby when it 992 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,200 Speaker 1: is in the womb. It's very straightforward, that's all. That's 993 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:34,840 Speaker 1: all you have to know, that's all there has to be. 994 00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:37,360 Speaker 1: And you know, if somebody's a Democrat or a Republican 995 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 1: ninety nine times out of a hundred, really higher than that. Actually, yes, 996 00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,320 Speaker 1: the GOP is a cult of death because we want 997 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,240 Speaker 1: to just start living our lives. They can't stop. They 998 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,880 Speaker 1: could not stop this virus. They could not even control 999 00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,480 Speaker 1: the virus, even though we did the things that they 1000 00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 1: said would achieve that. And now it's our fault. And 1001 00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,200 Speaker 1: now that we're tired of this, now that we see 1002 00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,720 Speaker 1: the data, it doesn't work. Beto's whole line here of 1003 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,720 Speaker 1: just like, don't don't like give up because look, we're 1004 00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:14,480 Speaker 1: gonna save so many laws. We've seen what happens. It's 1005 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:19,840 Speaker 1: not not true. It's not true. The only real way 1006 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,960 Speaker 1: to do a lockdown is to have everybody stay at 1007 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:27,320 Speaker 1: home and have full compliance for weeks, if not months 1008 00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:30,800 Speaker 1: on end, not having essential workers go and do their 1009 00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,160 Speaker 1: things by the millions, not having people going to grocery 1010 00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:35,560 Speaker 1: stores in big box stores and all they know. And 1011 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 1: that's that's the way lockdown has been done in America. 1012 00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:41,200 Speaker 1: It's never really been a lockdown, that's the point. So 1013 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,360 Speaker 1: all you do is change the area has changed the 1014 00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:47,240 Speaker 1: nodes of transmission, but the transmission kept going. So then 1015 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,120 Speaker 1: you say, well, why are you you know, why are 1016 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:52,479 Speaker 1: you shutting down restaurants if one percent of transmissions occurring there, 1017 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,360 Speaker 1: but you're not shutting down wherever the other ninety nine 1018 00:59:56,360 --> 01:00:01,560 Speaker 1: percent of transmission is happening happening. Right. They never really 1019 01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,080 Speaker 1: think through these things. They just they like the power. 1020 01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:07,480 Speaker 1: They're like the sanctimoniousness, the self righteousness. Oh I'm so great, 1021 01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 1: I'm a double Oh here you go. Of course, you 1022 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,680 Speaker 1: know who's a double masker? Now, Peto is a double 1023 01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 1: masker play twelve. But just because he's surrendered and given 1024 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,040 Speaker 1: up to the virus doesn't mean that we have to 1025 01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,280 Speaker 1: Wearing a mask is still something that we can do. 1026 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 1: Double masking, as a CDC recommends, is even better. Keeping 1027 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:28,480 Speaker 1: six foot distance and then joining efforts like ours. We're 1028 01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:32,520 Speaker 1: in seventeen different Texas cities this weekend. Our volunteers will 1029 01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 1: be canvassing in the lowest income SIP codes to register 1030 01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 1: people for the vaccine, to make sure that they get inoculated, 1031 01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,080 Speaker 1: and we helped to save more lives in the face 1032 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:47,520 Speaker 1: of this absolute lack of leadership from our governor. You 1033 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,680 Speaker 1: know what they should have done, vaccinated people over sixty 1034 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,800 Speaker 1: five all across the country right away. That should have 1035 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,040 Speaker 1: been the focus. You know what they did, all kinds 1036 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,400 Speaker 1: of micromanagement and stupidity. Oh we got twenty five year 1037 01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 1: old teachers get vaccinated. It in New York City. I 1038 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,240 Speaker 1: know some of them. Oh yeah, because that's really important. 1039 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 1: Just total clowns. The science was very clear on who 1040 01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 1: should get vaccinated. It's people who are at high risk. 1041 01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,920 Speaker 1: But they abused this, you know that they wanted to 1042 01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:20,600 Speaker 1: they use this as some kind of a a goody 1043 01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:25,600 Speaker 1: to give out to their preferred constituencies, teachers, essential workers, 1044 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:32,080 Speaker 1: whatever that means, you know, yeah, the elderly and healthcare 1045 01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,440 Speaker 1: workers who have to deal with COVID on the front line. 1046 01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:38,320 Speaker 1: That was very clear, but they pretended like it wasn't 1047 01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,960 Speaker 1: and so there were additional delays. So there were additional slowdowns, 1048 01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:45,000 Speaker 1: and people died because of those slowdowns. I think everybody 1049 01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:49,720 Speaker 1: should be aware of that, should see what's actually happening here. 1050 01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,520 Speaker 1: Double mask? Well, did we just figure that out? Are 1051 01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,560 Speaker 1: we all so dumb that we're not allowed to question that? 1052 01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,000 Speaker 1: They just figured out double masking, because that's what needs 1053 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:02,360 Speaker 1: to happen, noticed that Fauci, Because people realize they lost 1054 01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,640 Speaker 1: faith in the mask god. So then Faucci had to 1055 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:07,040 Speaker 1: come up with something else. It's, oh, you know what, 1056 01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:10,240 Speaker 1: we need double mask And then it was has everyone 1057 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,640 Speaker 1: forgotten that? Doctor ostro Holme, when I played it for 1058 01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,000 Speaker 1: you here, went on TV and said, double masking's actually 1059 01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:18,320 Speaker 1: worse guys in practice theoretically, See, this is the thing 1060 01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,480 Speaker 1: these people don't understand. Difference in theoretical policy and usage 1061 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:26,720 Speaker 1: and what actually happens theoretically. You know, mandating masks on 1062 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,840 Speaker 1: an airplane may reduce the spread of an aerosolized virus 1063 01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:33,480 Speaker 1: in some capacity. In reality, if you're sitting next to 1064 01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,560 Speaker 1: somebody and they're pulling their mask down for fifteen or 1065 01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:38,640 Speaker 1: twenty minutes at a time to eat and drink and 1066 01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:42,560 Speaker 1: do whatever else they're doing, does it really make a difference. 1067 01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 1: Remember the early days when people touching the mask and 1068 01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:49,480 Speaker 1: the mask not being clean, and that was all. They 1069 01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,360 Speaker 1: just they pretend like they didn't say these things. I'm 1070 01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 1: sorry they can try to gaslight me, but I know 1071 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,360 Speaker 1: when I've been lied to, and Fauci and the morons 1072 01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:01,800 Speaker 1: around him have lied to us countless time, countless times. 1073 01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,960 Speaker 1: They keep changing it, acting like they got it right, 1074 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:09,040 Speaker 1: acting like they knew what they were doing. They're appalling, appalling, 1075 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:11,680 Speaker 1: And now you'll notice there's a little bit of a 1076 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 1: glimpse of freedom, and they got to shut it right 1077 01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,920 Speaker 1: down right away. You know, there's all of a sudden, 1078 01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:18,520 Speaker 1: there's the hope that we're gonna get through this, and 1079 01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,480 Speaker 1: it's no, how dare you? You're not allowed. You're not 1080 01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,640 Speaker 1: allowed to start thinking about having your life back, not 1081 01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:29,520 Speaker 1: until we say so, not until we say so. Can't 1082 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:35,400 Speaker 1: pull back on the COVID measures. Yeah, I think we 1083 01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,400 Speaker 1: are doing that in some places. It's gonna be fine, 1084 01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,280 Speaker 1: as fine as it would be if we kept pretending 1085 01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:43,760 Speaker 1: like we're all doing this great job of stopping the virus. 1086 01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:47,000 Speaker 1: Clearly we're not, because the things they told us that 1087 01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,240 Speaker 1: would work don't work the way they said they would. 1088 01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,080 Speaker 1: This is all about the percentages, it's all about risk. 1089 01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:56,800 Speaker 1: It's all about what's true in general or most true 1090 01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:00,000 Speaker 1: in general. There's no perfect answer here. We've a banned 1091 01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,000 Speaker 1: and all that. Our ability to think critically as a 1092 01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:05,200 Speaker 1: country has been called into question by this. We failed 1093 01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:08,320 Speaker 1: to think critically as a country. I think that much 1094 01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: can be said with real clarity. You're in the freedom hunt. 1095 01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:15,640 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get 1096 01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:21,520 Speaker 1: the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. China 1097 01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 1: makes COVID nineteen anal SWABS mandatory for foreigners. When I 1098 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:32,720 Speaker 1: first saw this on social media, I thought to myself, 1099 01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:35,680 Speaker 1: is this has got to be a joke, right, They're kidding. 1100 01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:40,360 Speaker 1: They're not kidding. Reporting here from New York Post, China 1101 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:46,120 Speaker 1: has made anal COVID nineteen SWABS mandatory for all foreign 1102 01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:50,320 Speaker 1: travelers arriving in the country. The government has claimed that 1103 01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,800 Speaker 1: such tests provide a higher degree of accuracy than other 1104 01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:57,479 Speaker 1: screening methods. As part of the new travel requirement, they'll 1105 01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:02,400 Speaker 1: be testing hubs in Beijia and Shanghai. The outlet reported 1106 01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:08,320 Speaker 1: um the anal swabs are quote better because virus traces 1107 01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:12,200 Speaker 1: stay in the you know what longer than they do 1108 01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:16,040 Speaker 1: in the nose or the throat. The move comes after 1109 01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:19,920 Speaker 1: Japan asked China to stop performing the exams on its 1110 01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,760 Speaker 1: citizens where they enter the country because the swabs cause 1111 01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:28,680 Speaker 1: mental mental anguish. Yeah, they do. Some Japanese reported to 1112 01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,400 Speaker 1: our ever see in China that they received anal swab 1113 01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:36,240 Speaker 1: tests which caused a great psychological paid producer Mark, I 1114 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,560 Speaker 1: don't think the paid is necessarily just psychological though. Yeah, 1115 01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:42,919 Speaker 1: that that sounds physically painful. That doesn't sound like fun. 1116 01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. This is not good. I don't plan. 1117 01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,480 Speaker 1: But still, but this is this is kind of this 1118 01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,440 Speaker 1: is kind of the future that we can all, you know, expect, 1119 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,880 Speaker 1: we can all assume this kind of thing. Will we'll 1120 01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:58,560 Speaker 1: be coming our way because there's no indignity. If you're 1121 01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:01,920 Speaker 1: really a lockdown or there's no indignity, you shouldn't be 1122 01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:06,439 Speaker 1: willing to endure in order to save lives from the virus. Right, 1123 01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, why not if the science is 1124 01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,920 Speaker 1: clear on this, why not have anal swabs for everybody? Right? 1125 01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,760 Speaker 1: As far as I'm sure somebody should ask Fauci about this, 1126 01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:19,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure he would he would be happy to swab 1127 01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:23,040 Speaker 1: up everybody. But this is also a reminder that China's 1128 01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:27,640 Speaker 1: China's coming out of this thing, and they're they're they're 1129 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,520 Speaker 1: gonna be looking to just make all kinds of gains 1130 01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:34,520 Speaker 1: on the Biden administration, which might be a shock of 1131 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,880 Speaker 1: some people. I mean, I've been asking this question, will 1132 01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:40,720 Speaker 1: Biden lead America from behind China? And this is not 1133 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm not making any anal swab jokes here. I'm just saying, 1134 01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,960 Speaker 1: we'll Biden lead America from behind China. Remember leading from 1135 01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:51,040 Speaker 1: behind the Obama administration. That was the idea. And if 1136 01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,240 Speaker 1: you've been an avid CNN watcher for the past four years, 1137 01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,520 Speaker 1: you might wake up in cold sweats at the thought 1138 01:06:56,560 --> 01:07:00,240 Speaker 1: of Vladimir Putin overthrowing the US government any in it 1139 01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:03,600 Speaker 1: And we all knew it was absurd, and the corporate 1140 01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:09,120 Speaker 1: media's magnification of the Kremlin as America's greatest geopolitical foe 1141 01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:15,280 Speaker 1: was pure cynical politics. It was entirely justified in journalist minds, though, 1142 01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:18,560 Speaker 1: to undermine Trump's twenty sixteen win and use it as 1143 01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:22,360 Speaker 1: a cudgel against him during his four years in office. Unfortunately, 1144 01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:26,120 Speaker 1: in that regard it worked shockingly well. A special Counsel 1145 01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:30,600 Speaker 1: investigation and a White House under siege with endless allegations 1146 01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:34,440 Speaker 1: about being Putin's puppet, the Russia collusion lie was a 1147 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:38,160 Speaker 1: national media obsession. But as the Great Orange Menace of 1148 01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,960 Speaker 1: Trump is now passed, at least for the time being, 1149 01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 1: our media is waking up to some unpleasant realities of geopolitics. 1150 01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:50,640 Speaker 1: In the real world of superpower conflict, Russia is just 1151 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:54,120 Speaker 1: a side show. We all know that, for the talk 1152 01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,000 Speaker 1: of Putin's machinations, he runs a country with a GDP 1153 01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,760 Speaker 1: under two trillion dollars and about one hundred and forty 1154 01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,680 Speaker 1: million inhabitants that struggles to pay its bills when the 1155 01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:10,040 Speaker 1: prize of oil drops. China, China, That's what we really 1156 01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:12,240 Speaker 1: have to worry about, and this has been true for decades. 1157 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:17,200 Speaker 1: China is by far our biggest competitor economically and militarily 1158 01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:21,960 Speaker 1: right GDP almost fifteen trillion, over a billion people, China 1159 01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:26,200 Speaker 1: is the only real challenge to US hegemony, and it's 1160 01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:28,920 Speaker 1: going to keep Joe Biden's hands very full of the 1161 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:32,599 Speaker 1: foreign policy front. What we've seen so far, the Chinese 1162 01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:37,000 Speaker 1: Communist Party is preparing to put out, or put on 1163 01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,000 Speaker 1: rather a clinic of real politic for this Biden White House. 1164 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 1: Because whatever you think of Trump's foreign policy and the 1165 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,360 Speaker 1: no New Wars thing was pretty awesome, he was fundamentally 1166 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 1: correct about China. The Chinese Communist Party was getting away 1167 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,599 Speaker 1: with all kinds of illicit and unfair trade practices at 1168 01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:57,120 Speaker 1: the expense of American workers and businesses. Despite the conventional 1169 01:08:57,160 --> 01:09:00,519 Speaker 1: wisdom about the need for free trade with China. Trump 1170 01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:03,280 Speaker 1: was right when he said that wasn't what was actually occurring. 1171 01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,759 Speaker 1: It was really a one way trade war. And Trump 1172 01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 1: decided to fight fire with fire. Okay. China also has 1173 01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 1: the advantage of clear purpose. So while America in the 1174 01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:16,680 Speaker 1: first months of this Biden administration is determined to tear 1175 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:19,559 Speaker 1: down its own history and go on a cancelation spree 1176 01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:23,000 Speaker 1: of doctor Seus's books, China's expanding its influence in many 1177 01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:27,080 Speaker 1: of our most powerful institutions. Now it's all up at 1178 01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, as foreign policy team to sit across the 1179 01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:34,320 Speaker 1: global chessboard, so to speak, from China and outplay our 1180 01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:37,720 Speaker 1: greatest rivals since the Soviet Union. It's not going to 1181 01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:39,320 Speaker 1: work out very well for US. I have to tell you, 1182 01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:43,759 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Communist leadership in Beijing sees Biden's 1183 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:48,080 Speaker 1: ascension as an opening. Trump was responsible for awaking America 1184 01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:53,759 Speaker 1: from somnambulism about the real costs of China's predations. Biden 1185 01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,799 Speaker 1: has been famously wrong about every major foreign policy decision 1186 01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:59,200 Speaker 1: of the last four decades, and he may well lull 1187 01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:02,760 Speaker 1: us back to sleep. Hijinping has many cards to play 1188 01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:06,000 Speaker 1: with Biden's administration, and the poll to be anything but 1189 01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:09,880 Speaker 1: Trump on policy will be strong enough on its own. China, 1190 01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:13,000 Speaker 1: my friends, is ascendant, and Biden is going to be 1191 01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:17,320 Speaker 1: a useful idiot to that end. You're listening to the 1192 01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,519 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the 1193 01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:24,440 Speaker 1: podcast on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. 1194 01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:28,160 Speaker 1: We have COVID, we have recovery, we have rebuilding, We 1195 01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:31,799 Speaker 1: have a teetering New York City, we have a terrible 1196 01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:39,200 Speaker 1: financial picture. We have to do vaccines. So no, I'm 1197 01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:41,800 Speaker 1: going to do the job the people of the state 1198 01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:45,600 Speaker 1: elected me to do. Yes, that's right. Governor Cuomo is 1199 01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:49,479 Speaker 1: not going to resign. He will, politically speaking, live to 1200 01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:54,760 Speaker 1: fight another day. And this guy is adept at exactly 1201 01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:58,959 Speaker 1: what we've seen here. He understands how to manipulate public sentiment, 1202 01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:02,200 Speaker 1: he knows how the system works, he knows what he 1203 01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:05,760 Speaker 1: has to do to keep his position of power, and 1204 01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:09,120 Speaker 1: that's exactly what he's doing now. I keep coming back 1205 01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:12,160 Speaker 1: to this. I'm sorry but for me that the media 1206 01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:16,640 Speaker 1: digs in so much on allegations of sexual harassment that 1207 01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:20,759 Speaker 1: didn't really involve any actual touching, according to Governor Cuomo 1208 01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,400 Speaker 1: at least, and from all but one of the allegations here. 1209 01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he attempted to kiss I don't know if them, 1210 01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,400 Speaker 1: and he actually put he actually put hands on one 1211 01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:32,320 Speaker 1: of his aids. But he's suggesting he never actually even 1212 01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:36,439 Speaker 1: touched anyone, and he never offered a quid pro quo. 1213 01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:41,160 Speaker 1: So what he did, while gross and wrong, isn't say 1214 01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:44,200 Speaker 1: in the same league as sending thousands of people back 1215 01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:47,720 Speaker 1: into nursing homes during a raging pandemic, resulting in what 1216 01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:51,519 Speaker 1: could have been hundreds of lives lost. If not more. 1217 01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:55,439 Speaker 1: That wasn't enough though, to turn people against Cuomo. And 1218 01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,479 Speaker 1: one of the reasons for that is that the media 1219 01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:02,439 Speaker 1: understands they were all complicit in that part of the story. 1220 01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,080 Speaker 1: They didn't want the truth to come out about what 1221 01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:08,400 Speaker 1: Cuomo did in the nursing homes, and that's why today 1222 01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:12,519 Speaker 1: he had to give his maya culpa, not about the 1223 01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:19,120 Speaker 1: nursing home situation, but about harassing female subordinates, which I 1224 01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:23,240 Speaker 1: will say, particularly among people in the press corps, that 1225 01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,519 Speaker 1: is a sin that they will not necessarily force him 1226 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:30,040 Speaker 1: to pay the ultimate career price for, but they're at 1227 01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,280 Speaker 1: least going to make some noise about it now. Because 1228 01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:37,280 Speaker 1: Cuomo made it through the period of usefulness he was 1229 01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,240 Speaker 1: necessary for defeating Donald Trump. There's Leticia James, the New 1230 01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:44,759 Speaker 1: York State Attorney General, waiting on stage right or stage 1231 01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,879 Speaker 1: left or whatever to take over. I think if Cuomo 1232 01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:51,439 Speaker 1: were to fall from grace politically even more. But of 1233 01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:53,880 Speaker 1: course he's not going to resign. I've never thought he 1234 01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:56,880 Speaker 1: was going to resign, And this is just another way 1235 01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:01,960 Speaker 1: of understanding that his political instincts, as much as he's 1236 01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:05,160 Speaker 1: a thug in a bully, his political instincts are keen. 1237 01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,240 Speaker 1: And that's how a guy, yes, who has the advantage 1238 01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:11,040 Speaker 1: of a last name and a family dynasty behind him, 1239 01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 1: but he's been able to go through as many years, 1240 01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:18,519 Speaker 1: as many administrations as he has as many terms three now, 1241 01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:23,040 Speaker 1: being an enormous bully and a jerk on top of 1242 01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:26,840 Speaker 1: it all, but still holding the highest executive office in 1243 01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:30,280 Speaker 1: the fourth biggest state in the country. That's a pretty 1244 01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:33,160 Speaker 1: remarkable feat when you think about it. But then again, 1245 01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:35,920 Speaker 1: you look across to our cousins on the West Coast 1246 01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:40,040 Speaker 1: in California and they have none other than Gavin Newsom. 1247 01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:49,800 Speaker 1: Gruesome Newsom, with his unbelievably slimy antics around lockdowns and 1248 01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:53,160 Speaker 1: the way he's been changing the narrative constantly, this guy 1249 01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:56,600 Speaker 1: is bad news. And that's why finally the people of 1250 01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:00,960 Speaker 1: California have decided they may be willing to recall him, 1251 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,839 Speaker 1: but remember that they're not going to repudiate the policies. 1252 01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,519 Speaker 1: One of the problems or a recall mechanism like what 1253 01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:09,840 Speaker 1: they have in California is that everyone then focuses on 1254 01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:13,040 Speaker 1: the individual and not on the actions. Newsom is a 1255 01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:17,040 Speaker 1: pretty doctrinaire Democrat. He's not outside the mainstream for the 1256 01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:21,439 Speaker 1: Democrat Party. He's just a guy who's doing what Nancy 1257 01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,599 Speaker 1: Pelosi and Chuck Schumer would want him to do. He's 1258 01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:28,439 Speaker 1: not some radical. But in California they've finally started to 1259 01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:32,320 Speaker 1: see that Democrat policies are awful. And so what do 1260 01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:34,280 Speaker 1: they do? They say, Well, it's not that the policies 1261 01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:37,320 Speaker 1: are bad, really, it's that the guy, in this case, 1262 01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:42,080 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, implementing them is a problem. And here in 1263 01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:46,479 Speaker 1: New York, Governor Cuomo instead of saying, you know what, 1264 01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:49,519 Speaker 1: there could be somebody else, somebody better to come along 1265 01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:53,960 Speaker 1: to implement this, it's I'm necessary. Now. It's all about me. 1266 01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:57,360 Speaker 1: I have to do this job. Don't you see? Without me, 1267 01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:00,760 Speaker 1: the people of New York will be lost. This guy 1268 01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:05,080 Speaker 1: really does have some kind of savior complex tied in 1269 01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:08,959 Speaker 1: with his tyrannical impulses. He was never going to resign. 1270 01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:12,040 Speaker 1: You'd have to drag Cuomo out of that office kicking 1271 01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,560 Speaker 1: and screaming, and he'd be yelling, you know, I control 1272 01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:18,719 Speaker 1: to stay troopers the whole time. That's what he'd be saying, 1273 01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:23,640 Speaker 1: how dare you remove me from office? Stunning that this 1274 01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,080 Speaker 1: is the best we can do in New York state politics, 1275 01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:30,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of disheartening, really, but at least there's some 1276 01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:33,040 Speaker 1: degree of truth coming out now. I think there's a 1277 01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,080 Speaker 1: lot more, and I think we'll actually be hearing more 1278 01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:39,439 Speaker 1: of the weeks ahead. That's also a possibility. But I'm 1279 01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:42,639 Speaker 1: still shocked at the nursing home scandal. Isn't that isn't 1280 01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,439 Speaker 1: what may be doomed Cuomo's political career, And it's not doomed. 1281 01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:48,080 Speaker 1: He's gonna stay in office, and he may well run 1282 01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:52,200 Speaker 1: again and he might win, and what does that say 1283 01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:54,759 Speaker 1: about our politics? But then again, you look at Joe Biden. 1284 01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:58,719 Speaker 1: Here's a guy who was a loser time and time again, 1285 01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:02,599 Speaker 1: and Democrats even recknize that he was a loser. And then, 1286 01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:06,280 Speaker 1: because they had an opportunity to present the Democrat Party 1287 01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:09,519 Speaker 1: as something other than what it really is, and that 1288 01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:13,120 Speaker 1: would work in a COVID pandemic election year against Donald Trump, 1289 01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,760 Speaker 1: they just dusted off good old blue collar Joe and 1290 01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:22,000 Speaker 1: made it happen. With Governor Cuomo. There's a similar transaction 1291 01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:25,000 Speaker 1: feeling all of this. He's paid off all the special 1292 01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:28,280 Speaker 1: interest groups he needs to. He makes sure that the teachers' 1293 01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:31,080 Speaker 1: unions are on his side. He makes sure that the 1294 01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:33,800 Speaker 1: apparatus of the Democratic Party is with them, and that's 1295 01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:36,839 Speaker 1: all that it really takes. Doesn't have to be competent, 1296 01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:39,519 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be good at the job. He's just 1297 01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:42,800 Speaker 1: got to be a one man patronage system for the 1298 01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:47,160 Speaker 1: incredibly corrupt machine politics of Albany, which, as we know, 1299 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:52,640 Speaker 1: was supposed to get a little special investigation the Moreland Commission, 1300 01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,759 Speaker 1: and Cuomo set it up because so many people realize 1301 01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:57,640 Speaker 1: what was going on in New York, and then he 1302 01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,400 Speaker 1: just shut it down. Why did he shut it down? Well, 1303 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,839 Speaker 1: I remember speaking to somebody who was close to Cuomo 1304 01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:07,240 Speaker 1: during that period and was a very a very skilled lawyer, 1305 01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,920 Speaker 1: brilliant attorney, who told me that, yeah, it's because Cuomo 1306 01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:15,200 Speaker 1: realized that once an investigation like that gets enough teeth 1307 01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:18,080 Speaker 1: and gets going, it could actually find out stuff you 1308 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,080 Speaker 1: don't want it to, and then you've got a problem. 1309 01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:22,599 Speaker 1: He liked the optics of it, he didn't like the 1310 01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,120 Speaker 1: reality of it, so we just shut it down. But 1311 01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:28,280 Speaker 1: as long as he makes sure that New York is 1312 01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:32,840 Speaker 1: supportive of abortion on of all nine months on of 1313 01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:38,320 Speaker 1: a pregnancy, and that the woke left is mollified in 1314 01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 1: whatever possible ways, and the Democrat machinery keeps on running 1315 01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,519 Speaker 1: as is, with the patronage system and the payoffs and 1316 01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:47,280 Speaker 1: the welfare and all the rest of it. As long 1317 01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:50,360 Speaker 1: as that keeps going, he figures he can stay in 1318 01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:53,559 Speaker 1: power and act like the jerk that he is. But 1319 01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:55,719 Speaker 1: keep in mind, he wants you to feel a tremendous 1320 01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:58,639 Speaker 1: amount of sympathy for him. That certainly came across today 1321 01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:06,160 Speaker 1: during the press conference. I feel awful about it, and frankly, 1322 01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:12,400 Speaker 1: I am embarrassed by it, And that's not easy to say, 1323 01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:16,880 Speaker 1: but that's the truth. Is it the truth? Do you 1324 01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:21,840 Speaker 1: believe it? Do you think that he's somebody who's saddened 1325 01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:25,880 Speaker 1: and upset because he realizes that he was transgressing, that 1326 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,479 Speaker 1: he was crossing a line, or do you think that 1327 01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,920 Speaker 1: this is just a talented performance from a guy who did, 1328 01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,479 Speaker 1: in fact, just get an emmy last summer. As you remember, 1329 01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:37,439 Speaker 1: for his press conferences day in and day out about 1330 01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:41,240 Speaker 1: the COVID pandemic. The media elevated him when it was 1331 01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,439 Speaker 1: useful for them, and now they turn on him when 1332 01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,080 Speaker 1: he no longer matters quite the same way. But they 1333 01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:49,240 Speaker 1: don't turn on him all the way. Notice how they're 1334 01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:51,200 Speaker 1: not going to continue to push on this story. Now 1335 01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:54,240 Speaker 1: that he's apologized, now that he's come forward in this way, 1336 01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:58,160 Speaker 1: they'll say that that's enough. He's paid his debt, so 1337 01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:01,120 Speaker 1: to speak. He's done his pen and now he can 1338 01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:05,200 Speaker 1: go back to being the died in the world Democrat 1339 01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:08,600 Speaker 1: that we know. He is delivering for the left, for 1340 01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:12,479 Speaker 1: progressives and continuing to run New York State into the ground, 1341 01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:15,080 Speaker 1: which is what has been happening, not just over the 1342 01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:17,840 Speaker 1: last year, well before that, but certainly over the last year. 1343 01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:21,320 Speaker 1: That's why people are fleeing in larger and larger numbers. 1344 01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:24,280 Speaker 1: It's because Governor Cuomo is bad at his job, but 1345 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,200 Speaker 1: he wants you to feel sorry for him. You know, 1346 01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,760 Speaker 1: I do give people second chances. I'm somebody who really 1347 01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:32,000 Speaker 1: believes in forgiveness and mercy and all that. But Auomo 1348 01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:34,200 Speaker 1: such a bully. It's really hard to think that this 1349 01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:37,840 Speaker 1: guy means a single word of it. I'm not buying it. 1350 01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:39,840 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, I'm not buying the Oh, I'm 1351 01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:42,400 Speaker 1: so sorry. I never meant to. I don't believe it. 1352 01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:50,120 Speaker 1: This is The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram, 1353 01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:54,560 Speaker 1: and Twitter. Let's get a view from inside the Beltway 1354 01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:59,800 Speaker 1: right now, as the swamp grows gets murkier and muddier, 1355 01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:04,360 Speaker 1: wedder and just bad all around. Our friend Harlan Hale, 1356 01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,280 Speaker 1: he is a principal at the Logan Circle Group as 1357 01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:10,679 Speaker 1: a political consultant, buddy of mine down in DC. Harlan, 1358 01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,240 Speaker 1: how are you doing, man? Great, it's good to be 1359 01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:16,960 Speaker 1: with you. But I am now a DC refugee in 1360 01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:21,040 Speaker 1: Florida for the time being. Oh that's right, You've become 1361 01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:24,000 Speaker 1: another another one of those, another one of those guys 1362 01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:26,880 Speaker 1: who's decided they're fleeing the Blue state tyranny for the 1363 01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:31,880 Speaker 1: Sunshine State. Oh that's join us at some point. Yeah. Well, 1364 01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:35,080 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, man, these days, the siren call 1365 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:37,439 Speaker 1: of Florida is getting louder all the time for people, 1366 01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:40,120 Speaker 1: especially up in the in the Tri state area. So 1367 01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:41,960 Speaker 1: I want to ask, what are you what are you 1368 01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:46,640 Speaker 1: seeing right now with this uh, with this COVID relief 1369 01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,559 Speaker 1: bill that's out there with the Democrats are trying to accomplish, 1370 01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:53,280 Speaker 1: because to me, this is it's just all reminiscent of 1371 01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:55,439 Speaker 1: the Obama administration, where it's we're gonna do what we 1372 01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:57,800 Speaker 1: want to do as Democrats. We don't care what it 1373 01:20:57,800 --> 01:20:59,920 Speaker 1: does to the economy. Really, as long as our special 1374 01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,160 Speaker 1: interests get paid off, as long as our identity politics 1375 01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:07,280 Speaker 1: groups feel like they're getting something out of this, that's it. Yeah, Yeah, 1376 01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:09,240 Speaker 1: I mean I think that's exactly right. I mean, the 1377 01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:14,800 Speaker 1: Biden administration came into power with all these lofty promises 1378 01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:19,240 Speaker 1: of unity and bringing the party together and working with Republicans, 1379 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:22,360 Speaker 1: and now what we're seeing is that they're going to 1380 01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:26,479 Speaker 1: castle of that unity aside and try to ram something 1381 01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:34,519 Speaker 1: through without respect to the Republican colleagues and the tens 1382 01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:38,040 Speaker 1: of millions of Republican voters that came out in twenty twenty. 1383 01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:40,599 Speaker 1: And I think that's to their peril and to our benefit. 1384 01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:42,639 Speaker 1: How are you feeling this is going to play into 1385 01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:44,320 Speaker 1: the mid terms. I mean, you're a guy for everybody 1386 01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:48,320 Speaker 1: listening who works on campaigns, I mean, actually gets gets 1387 01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:51,960 Speaker 1: paid to help Republicans win elected office. Right, You're actually 1388 01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:55,000 Speaker 1: doing doing that job day in and day out. Are 1389 01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:58,880 Speaker 1: you feeling like Republican opposition to this COVID relief bill 1390 01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:01,960 Speaker 1: could trans late into a red way. I know it's 1391 01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:05,400 Speaker 1: a ways out, but this stuff moves fast. Well, I'm 1392 01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:09,400 Speaker 1: seeing two things play out. One yes to answer your question, 1393 01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,679 Speaker 1: I do think that this plays right into our hands, 1394 01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:16,840 Speaker 1: and then there's growing sentiment against you know, these continued shutdowns, 1395 01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,080 Speaker 1: to the draconian measures coming out of the Blue states 1396 01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:23,519 Speaker 1: and of Washington itself. But I have to add another 1397 01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,000 Speaker 1: rankle to that, which I think is incredibly important coming 1398 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:30,280 Speaker 1: out of Seapack, which is that I'm seeing a lot 1399 01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:37,640 Speaker 1: of very mature and developed primary challenges of incumbent Republicans, 1400 01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:41,880 Speaker 1: whether it's at the federal level or at the state level, 1401 01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:50,520 Speaker 1: to remove Republicans that primary voters considered to be inadequately conservative. 1402 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,960 Speaker 1: You know, one of those people is someone like Mike DeWine, 1403 01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:56,680 Speaker 1: the current governor of Ohio. This is a guy that 1404 01:22:57,120 --> 01:23:01,360 Speaker 1: instituted curfews and you know, basically a liberal state policy 1405 01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:05,479 Speaker 1: of used to be shutdowns and response to covid um 1406 01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:08,600 Speaker 1: he adopted, and you know, he's a Republican. So I 1407 01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:10,600 Speaker 1: think what we're gonna see happen in the midterms is 1408 01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:14,520 Speaker 1: not just a wave in the general um, a backlash 1409 01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:18,480 Speaker 1: against a lot of this um, but also a backlash 1410 01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:22,360 Speaker 1: against Republicans that have counted out to the to the 1411 01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:25,680 Speaker 1: liberal orthodoxy and the media's line on on how to 1412 01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:30,080 Speaker 1: handle these shutdowns and COVID So, uh, you know, this 1413 01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:31,840 Speaker 1: is something that we're gonna start seeing play out in 1414 01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:36,760 Speaker 1: the next really year. So you're seeing this. People talk 1415 01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:40,280 Speaker 1: about Republican unity, but you're you're feeling like it's gonna 1416 01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:43,960 Speaker 1: be unity that is in part achieved through uh, getting 1417 01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,720 Speaker 1: rid of some of the dead weight with with primaries 1418 01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:51,000 Speaker 1: that go after people who are milktoast romney eyed Conservatives 1419 01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:54,720 Speaker 1: or Republicans. Is that right? Oh, no question. I mean 1420 01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,120 Speaker 1: that's playing out now. I mean, you know, and part 1421 01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:00,560 Speaker 1: of that is, uh, President Trump laid out in his 1422 01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:07,160 Speaker 1: Seapack speech a long list of Republican congressmen and women 1423 01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:10,560 Speaker 1: that he was going to support primary challenges against on 1424 01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:13,160 Speaker 1: the grounds and impeachment. But the list is going to 1425 01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:15,920 Speaker 1: grow far beyond those who were disloyal to Trump on 1426 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:20,280 Speaker 1: impeachment and will will include, you know, candidates that are 1427 01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:23,519 Speaker 1: insufficiently conservative. Uh. You know, we're looking at Liz Cheney. 1428 01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:25,479 Speaker 1: I mean, she's got a real problem. I actually firmly 1429 01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:28,120 Speaker 1: believe that, Um, that the center that came down from 1430 01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:32,120 Speaker 1: the state Party in Wyoming was decisive. Somebody like Anthony 1431 01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:35,639 Speaker 1: Gonzalez in Ohio sixteen. That guy's gonna get rocked. President 1432 01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:39,559 Speaker 1: Trump's already already endorsed his challenger, Max Miller. Um, that's 1433 01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:41,800 Speaker 1: a that's a sure thing. I mean, I wouldn't be 1434 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:46,680 Speaker 1: surprised if if President Trump performs a perfect sweep on 1435 01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:52,280 Speaker 1: all those primary challenges. Um, they're all extremely vulnerable. Uh. 1436 01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:54,479 Speaker 1: Catalinaluf is another one. I think she's got a good 1437 01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,400 Speaker 1: chance amount of really in credible race. She's hiring a 1438 01:24:56,400 --> 01:25:00,920 Speaker 1: lot of really good consultants this go around. And so yeah, 1439 01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:04,120 Speaker 1: I'm feeling I'm feeling good. I mean, the problem with 1440 01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:08,400 Speaker 1: the Magan movement in primary uh, disloyal conservatives when Trump 1441 01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:11,120 Speaker 1: was in office was that it was always sort of 1442 01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:14,879 Speaker 1: half baked. You know, they were hiring in some cases 1443 01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:18,360 Speaker 1: not the best staff, or the staff wasn't as mature. 1444 01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:20,840 Speaker 1: They didn't they didn't know, you know, how to run 1445 01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,439 Speaker 1: these campaigns. Now we have a much much much more 1446 01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:27,760 Speaker 1: mature movement. Um and uh and and and then we 1447 01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:29,879 Speaker 1: also have the benefit of the fact that the president 1448 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:31,920 Speaker 1: is out of office able to go and raise a 1449 01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:35,120 Speaker 1: lot of money and mobilize millions of voters using the 1450 01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:38,760 Speaker 1: data and the infrastructure that he built in the in 1451 01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:42,439 Speaker 1: the campaign in twenty twenty, which is unprecedented on the 1452 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:45,759 Speaker 1: Republican side. We're speaking to principle of Logan Circle group, 1453 01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,439 Speaker 1: but he's down in Florida, not in Logan Circle anymore. 1454 01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:51,640 Speaker 1: Our friend, our friend, Harlan Hill, he's a political consultant. 1455 01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:53,839 Speaker 1: And Harland you know you were you were at Seapack. 1456 01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:56,360 Speaker 1: I was at seapack. The president, uh, you know, brought 1457 01:25:56,360 --> 01:26:00,040 Speaker 1: the house down, so to speak, on Sunday. And I 1458 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,519 Speaker 1: just I have this concern and I know some people 1459 01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:08,599 Speaker 1: they don't want to hear negativity about about Trump running again. 1460 01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:11,519 Speaker 1: And I'm not negative about him running again. I want 1461 01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:14,360 Speaker 1: to make sure that if he runs again for president, 1462 01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:17,200 Speaker 1: he's got the right people around him, the right infrastructure, 1463 01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:21,880 Speaker 1: pushing the right ideas. I worry that what we're gonna 1464 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:25,320 Speaker 1: get pushed into is he's the only option. And the 1465 01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:28,479 Speaker 1: people that were around him that failed in this last 1466 01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,639 Speaker 1: election it was a failure, they did not win, will 1467 01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:35,160 Speaker 1: be the same people. What are you confident that. I 1468 01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:37,200 Speaker 1: know we're at the early stages here, but it will 1469 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,360 Speaker 1: matter for the midterms. Then it matters, quite honestly, just 1470 01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:43,120 Speaker 1: for the Republican Party now day to day is Trump 1471 01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:44,720 Speaker 1: you know? Is he is? He? Finally going to have 1472 01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:46,519 Speaker 1: the best people. You know, he promised to have the 1473 01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:49,080 Speaker 1: best people and that wasn't true. Is he gonna have 1474 01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:52,800 Speaker 1: some of the best people now? Well, you know, I'm 1475 01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:55,040 Speaker 1: not sure whether President Trump is going to run for 1476 01:26:55,040 --> 01:27:00,160 Speaker 1: reelection again or not, but I do know that he 1477 01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,760 Speaker 1: is the de facto leader of the party at this point. 1478 01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:05,559 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a tremendous power vacuum on our side. 1479 01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,400 Speaker 1: I mean, just in that month where he was relatively 1480 01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:11,400 Speaker 1: quiet up until the Sea Pack speech, you know, there 1481 01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:13,680 Speaker 1: was there was very little direction within the party. No 1482 01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:18,000 Speaker 1: one stepped up to fill that, to to fill that vacuum. UM. 1483 01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:19,840 Speaker 1: And it seems now that he's going to do that, 1484 01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:23,000 Speaker 1: and I think that's probably the role that he plays. UM. 1485 01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:25,519 Speaker 1: He needs to continue to raise money to support these 1486 01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:29,320 Speaker 1: uh primary challenges around the country, to put in loyalists, 1487 01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:32,240 Speaker 1: to build out the infrastructure that can support whoever the 1488 01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:37,040 Speaker 1: individual candidate is, whether that's President Trump or or or 1489 01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:41,320 Speaker 1: someone else. But he has a great opportunity to be 1490 01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:45,120 Speaker 1: the kingmaker and the party, UM, and to bring the 1491 01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:47,240 Speaker 1: party together. There's got to be some call. We got 1492 01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:48,960 Speaker 1: to call to hurt a little bit. You know, there 1493 01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:51,240 Speaker 1: are a lot of people that that that predate Trump, 1494 01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:54,960 Speaker 1: that pre date this, this alignment within the party, um 1495 01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:58,040 Speaker 1: that don't really get it. They're not they're not responsive 1496 01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:03,639 Speaker 1: to uh, their voters, and h you know that there's 1497 01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:07,040 Speaker 1: got there's gotta be some change in Washington, and I 1498 01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:10,240 Speaker 1: think he's going through that. I am confident that, you know, 1499 01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:12,720 Speaker 1: he's not necessarily I don't see him building out a 1500 01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,519 Speaker 1: presidential campaign right now. I think that if he were 1501 01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:19,000 Speaker 1: to do that, he would announce it relatively soon. People 1502 01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:22,240 Speaker 1: forget that the President announced his reelection campaign on an 1503 01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:25,720 Speaker 1: inauguration day in twenty seventeen. He wasted no time. And 1504 01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:28,920 Speaker 1: I think that if he were confident in his interest 1505 01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:32,320 Speaker 1: in running for president again, that um, you know, he 1506 01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:35,479 Speaker 1: would already start. Based on history, I think he would 1507 01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:38,360 Speaker 1: already start that process now. Carlin Hill, everybody pulled up 1508 01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:42,479 Speaker 1: a consultant guy who actually knows how the sausage gets 1509 01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,200 Speaker 1: made in politics.

You've become the only person I agree 1552 01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:01,880 Speaker 1: with one percent of the time, and I'm honestly torn. 1553 01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:04,400 Speaker 1: I just want the facts because I have no desire 1554 01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:07,400 Speaker 1: to get it right now.

Thanks for speaking truth 1557 01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:14,360 Speaker 1: and keeping me company while I get ready for work 1558 01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:17,519 Speaker 1: and on my commute. Even my boys three years and 1559 01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:20,000 Speaker 1: ten months now ride in silence and seem to be 1560 01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:23,760 Speaker 1: soothed by your voice. But maybe they're learning something. I 1561 01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:25,720 Speaker 1: share your name every chance I get.

I know you're a busy man, 1564 01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:33,599 Speaker 1: but i'd appreciate some valid vaccine info shields high Rachel, 1565 01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:35,559 Speaker 1: thank you so much. That's very kind and I really 1566 01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:37,479 Speaker 1: appreciate it. If you've got some. You've got a couple 1567 01:31:37,479 --> 01:31:41,839 Speaker 1: of young boys there. If they liked it the vocal 1568 01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:45,559 Speaker 1: sounds of Team Buck, that's great. It makes me very happy. 1569 01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:50,960 Speaker 1: And let's get into the vaccines now. I will tell 1570 01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:53,639 Speaker 1: you I have not been some I've not been deep 1571 01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:59,880 Speaker 1: diving into the vaccine data masks, lockdowns. Yes, I read 1572 01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:03,360 Speaker 1: about it all the time. I'm constantly compiling information on it, 1573 01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:08,439 Speaker 1: but I have not been going deep on the vaccine stuff. 1574 01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:11,679 Speaker 1: I can tell you this that both of my parents 1575 01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:15,320 Speaker 1: have gotten the vaccine and one of the vaccines and 1576 01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:20,200 Speaker 1: they had basically no side effects and we're fine. And 1577 01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:23,559 Speaker 1: they're both at the age where you know it's you're 1578 01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:26,840 Speaker 1: in higher risk category. So I would not let my 1579 01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:29,160 Speaker 1: own parents. I would have you know, I would lay 1580 01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:31,120 Speaker 1: down in front of a train before I let my 1581 01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:33,320 Speaker 1: parents do anything that I thought was risky or dangerous 1582 01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:36,639 Speaker 1: to their health. So that that's the best I can 1583 01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:38,200 Speaker 1: tell you about how I feel about it, is that 1584 01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:41,479 Speaker 1: my parents both got vaccinated, and I am likely to 1585 01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:45,400 Speaker 1: get vaccinated too when the time comes, because then I 1586 01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:47,920 Speaker 1: really want to just hold the line against the insanity 1587 01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:51,240 Speaker 1: of continued lockdown and mitigation and all this other crap. 1588 01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:53,720 Speaker 1: So that's how I feel about it. As for the 1589 01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:56,200 Speaker 1: safety data and all the rest of it. You know, 1590 01:32:56,280 --> 01:32:59,680 Speaker 1: Alex Berenson, I really appreciate the work that he's done 1591 01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:03,559 Speaker 1: during the pandemic to say things and share things that 1592 01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:07,320 Speaker 1: have He's an immense pressure rate against him, but he 1593 01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:09,439 Speaker 1: has been willing to stand up and say, hold on 1594 01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:12,320 Speaker 1: a second, what people are being told or this aspect 1595 01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:17,200 Speaker 1: of it's just not true. So he's also been doing 1596 01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:20,599 Speaker 1: a lot of work on COVID vaccines. You can follow 1597 01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:23,400 Speaker 1: him on Twitter, for example, and see what he's posting 1598 01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:26,679 Speaker 1: about vaccines. From what I've seen, it's it's very clear 1599 01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:30,439 Speaker 1: the vaccines for the average person, this is the CDC 1600 01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:32,639 Speaker 1: published state of the average person in the vaccines are 1601 01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:38,120 Speaker 1: both highly effective and highly safe. The questions that seem 1602 01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:40,000 Speaker 1: to be out there have to do that the biggest 1603 01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:42,280 Speaker 1: question that I've seen, and I don't have an answer 1604 01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:45,240 Speaker 1: to it, and I don't really have a strong opinion 1605 01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:47,000 Speaker 1: on it because I just don't know. See, I tell 1606 01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:49,200 Speaker 1: you when I don't know something, unlike a lot of 1607 01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:51,240 Speaker 1: other people who like to pretend they know everything, I 1608 01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:54,120 Speaker 1: tell you when I don't know something. But it's whether 1609 01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:58,160 Speaker 1: the vaccine can be an additional risk factor for pregnant 1610 01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:01,240 Speaker 1: women to miscarry, I think is where there has been 1611 01:34:01,280 --> 01:34:05,280 Speaker 1: some question out there, and I don't know. Alex Barrenson 1612 01:34:05,360 --> 01:34:07,439 Speaker 1: has done more research into that than I have, so 1613 01:34:07,439 --> 01:34:10,439 Speaker 1: you can see what he says on it. But it's 1614 01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:14,720 Speaker 1: very hard right now to get honest stuff about the 1615 01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:19,160 Speaker 1: about the vaccines. It's very difficult because if you if 1616 01:34:19,200 --> 01:34:23,559 Speaker 1: you question any aspect of it, they will quickly put 1617 01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:27,600 Speaker 1: you in the anti vax category, even if you're not 1618 01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:33,080 Speaker 1: an anti vaxer. So and these especially the fires are 1619 01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:37,320 Speaker 1: and moderno vaccines. These are these MMA m R n 1620 01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:41,280 Speaker 1: A vaccines. This is a very new technology, and from 1621 01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:42,680 Speaker 1: what I understand, there are not a whole lot of 1622 01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:45,280 Speaker 1: folks who really understand it all that well, even in 1623 01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:49,680 Speaker 1: the medical community. So I think asking questions is completely 1624 01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:53,599 Speaker 1: completely legitimate, and we should always ask questions about things 1625 01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:56,160 Speaker 1: like this. I'm sorry, Rachel, I don't have more in 1626 01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:59,000 Speaker 1: depth information for you on it, but I will continue 1627 01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:01,200 Speaker 1: to look at it. But I've as I've said, my 1628 01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:03,559 Speaker 1: parents got vaccinated it. They have had no ill effects 1629 01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:06,840 Speaker 1: from from it so far, and from what I've read 1630 01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:11,400 Speaker 1: and from all the experts that I've talked to, including 1631 01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:13,800 Speaker 1: some who are very skeptical of masks as a highly 1632 01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:16,559 Speaker 1: effective mitigation measure, I know some mds who feel that way, 1633 01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:18,880 Speaker 1: but they won't say so publicly because they don't want, 1634 01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:21,120 Speaker 1: you know, Holly hell to fall down upon them. But 1635 01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:23,519 Speaker 1: they say, no, no, no, the vaccines are safe. I would, 1636 01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:25,240 Speaker 1: I'm getting it, and I would get my family to 1637 01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:27,080 Speaker 1: get it too. So I'm just telling you that's what 1638 01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:31,120 Speaker 1: That's what I've been told about it, Riannon, I really 1639 01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:33,439 Speaker 1: enjoy listening to you trying to talk sports. Tell producer 1640 01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:36,360 Speaker 1: Mark he needs to teach you football. Well, thanks, Rhiannon. 1641 01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:40,280 Speaker 1: I like when they take the stick and they hit 1642 01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:45,679 Speaker 1: the puck into the goal post, making sure that they 1643 01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:48,840 Speaker 1: have the proper I can't I can't even think of 1644 01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:50,519 Speaker 1: all the sports terminology I have to throw in here. 1645 01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:54,519 Speaker 1: I don't think no, I know, but yeah, look, I 1646 01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:57,000 Speaker 1: used to watch sports. I gotta tell you. I'm just 1647 01:35:57,960 --> 01:35:59,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I got so little time for anything 1648 01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:02,600 Speaker 1: other than my work these days, it's very hard for 1649 01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:05,920 Speaker 1: me to focus in on any kind of sports stuff. 1650 01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:08,120 Speaker 1: But Producer Mark loves the sports, so you've always got 1651 01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:10,000 Speaker 1: a voice in the sports world year on this show 1652 01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:12,720 Speaker 1: talking about the things they're going on. Although I did 1653 01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:14,400 Speaker 1: see because it was big news for a while, the 1654 01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:16,840 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods flipped his car. I know it's not really 1655 01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:18,639 Speaker 1: a sports story, but he's one of the great sports 1656 01:36:18,640 --> 01:36:22,559 Speaker 1: figures of our lifetime. Tiger Woods flipped his car number 1657 01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:24,760 Speaker 1: of times. He's in bad shape, right, Producer Mark, he 1658 01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:27,320 Speaker 1: got messed up. Yeah. The latest report I see is 1659 01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:30,120 Speaker 1: that he will walk again, but they're really not sure 1660 01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:32,320 Speaker 1: if he'll ever be able to play golf again. And 1661 01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:34,920 Speaker 1: I actually just watched they did a documentary on him 1662 01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:38,439 Speaker 1: on HBO a couple weeks ago, maybe a month ago, 1663 01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:40,400 Speaker 1: me and my wife watch it, and then this happened. 1664 01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:43,519 Speaker 1: So it was really interesting. He's had a lot of 1665 01:36:44,479 --> 01:36:46,799 Speaker 1: I'm not a golf guy. I really don't like the sport, 1666 01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:51,439 Speaker 1: but watching that document Menory showed me how dominant, how 1667 01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:54,559 Speaker 1: great he was, and to see him take obviously the 1668 01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:57,240 Speaker 1: scandals and everything, and now this when he was finally 1669 01:36:57,280 --> 01:36:59,760 Speaker 1: coming back, he was finally getting back to form. It's 1670 01:36:59,800 --> 01:37:02,000 Speaker 1: just it's a terrible story to see him. You know, 1671 01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:04,400 Speaker 1: the best ever, one of the best athletes of all time. 1672 01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:08,400 Speaker 1: Is he's pretty much the undisputed best golfer of all time? 1673 01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:11,240 Speaker 1: Or is that Jack Nicholas? M I think. I mean, 1674 01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:13,599 Speaker 1: I'm not an expert on this, but I believe numbers wise, 1675 01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:17,639 Speaker 1: he's a couple of masters behind Nicholas, But everyone said 1676 01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:20,439 Speaker 1: he's a golf experts would say Tiger's the best of 1677 01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:23,720 Speaker 1: all time. Yeah, it's remarkable. I've I don't understand the 1678 01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:25,720 Speaker 1: appeal of golf at all, but I will tell you this. 1679 01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:28,200 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people listening is probably love golf, 1680 01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:32,640 Speaker 1: and I avoid playing it because I don't want to 1681 01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:35,920 Speaker 1: devote that much time to it. And I know I 1682 01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:38,360 Speaker 1: feel like if it clicks in my mind, it will 1683 01:37:38,439 --> 01:37:40,599 Speaker 1: become a thing that I really really want to do 1684 01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:44,800 Speaker 1: a lot. And it's time consuming and expensive, and I'll 1685 01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:47,400 Speaker 1: do it more later in life perhaps, but for right now, 1686 01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:50,360 Speaker 1: I got too much that I got to focus on that. 1687 01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:52,800 Speaker 1: That's spending. I mean, playing eighteen holes of golf. I 1688 01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:54,439 Speaker 1: think it takes three or four hours, right, It's a 1689 01:37:54,439 --> 01:37:58,880 Speaker 1: long thing. Yeah, I just I said when I if 1690 01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:00,760 Speaker 1: I ever moved Florida, I might have to pick up golf. 1691 01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:03,519 Speaker 1: Whose golf course is everywhere? Have you ever played? I've 1692 01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:08,160 Speaker 1: played once, I was very bad. I've tried. I've tried 1693 01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:11,439 Speaker 1: a little bit, and you know, I sort of take 1694 01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:14,439 Speaker 1: the Happy Gilmore approach to golf, where I just want 1695 01:38:14,439 --> 01:38:16,000 Speaker 1: to take the big stick and hit it as hard 1696 01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:18,439 Speaker 1: as I can, and it turns out there's a tremendous 1697 01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:21,680 Speaker 1: amount of focus and precision and all this sort of 1698 01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:23,720 Speaker 1: stuff that goes into it, and I just want to 1699 01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:25,800 Speaker 1: sort of I sort of just want to club that 1700 01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:29,400 Speaker 1: golf ball like a baby seal, you know what I mean. 1701 01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:34,040 Speaker 1: I just I just want to knock it out, you know. Yeah, Yeah, 1702 01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:37,080 Speaker 1: it's I'm just kidding. I love baby seals. People don't 1703 01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:39,200 Speaker 1: freak out. You know, I love animals. God, I knew 1704 01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:41,479 Speaker 1: you wouldn't actually club a baby sealing. Yeah never, I know, 1705 01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:43,120 Speaker 1: But you know I don't want the peta people out there. 1706 01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:46,040 Speaker 1: I love baby edible. I want a pet seal, Okay, 1707 01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:48,400 Speaker 1: and people think I'm weird. I really do want to. 1708 01:38:48,880 --> 01:38:51,080 Speaker 1: What I've realized is I have to start one of 1709 01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:54,960 Speaker 1: these animal rescue organizations because the huge benefit of that 1710 01:38:55,080 --> 01:38:58,280 Speaker 1: is it then you know, anytime a Bobcat gets gets 1711 01:38:58,320 --> 01:39:01,519 Speaker 1: hit by a prius somewhere and is kind of limping around, 1712 01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:03,640 Speaker 1: Now I got a pet bobcat, and I nurse it 1713 01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:06,000 Speaker 1: back to health. You see. You just want to live 1714 01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:09,240 Speaker 1: on like a wildlife reserve. Yeah exactly, But I don't 1715 01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:10,400 Speaker 1: want it to have to I don't want it to 1716 01:39:10,439 --> 01:39:12,880 Speaker 1: have to be in some foreign country where they have 1717 01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:15,960 Speaker 1: bad internet. You know, I'll do it here in America. 1718 01:39:16,200 --> 01:39:17,840 Speaker 1: Just buy a bunch of land in Florida. I'm sure 1719 01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:19,599 Speaker 1: you're allowed to do that there. Yeah. You know. Actually, 1720 01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:22,680 Speaker 1: Florida has very permissive wildlife rules, which is one of 1721 01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:26,040 Speaker 1: the reasons why that guy Doc whatever his name is 1722 01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:28,400 Speaker 1: from the Tiger King series was down in Florida. I 1723 01:39:28,439 --> 01:39:30,479 Speaker 1: forget his name, name was Doc something or other. I 1724 01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:32,479 Speaker 1: feel like Florida has become the place in America that 1725 01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:37,120 Speaker 1: you can basically do anything. It's the new Vegas. Sounds 1726 01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:39,240 Speaker 1: sounds like Heaven to me. Sounds like Heaven to me. 1727 01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:44,360 Speaker 1: So and you know, our our audience in Tampa on WFLA, 1728 01:39:44,439 --> 01:39:48,720 Speaker 1: and our audience in Miami and the whole Miami Southeastern 1729 01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:53,559 Speaker 1: Corridor on w IOD very robust as we've been added 1730 01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:56,720 Speaker 1: to those stations. So folks realize that we love we 1731 01:39:56,840 --> 01:40:00,960 Speaker 1: love producer Mark and Buck, love them some Florida big fans, 1732 01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:06,479 Speaker 1: big fans. Let's see here, Scott hey Buck. Oh no, wait, 1733 01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:08,120 Speaker 1: we got I got Scott'll come back to you. We 1734 01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:10,800 Speaker 1: got Terry first. If people want to be offended, they 1735 01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:13,719 Speaker 1: can find fault or examples everywhere. This whole thing about 1736 01:40:13,720 --> 01:40:16,400 Speaker 1: the symbols found at SEPAK reminded me of when I 1737 01:40:16,439 --> 01:40:18,599 Speaker 1: was working at a boarding school in Maine and we 1738 01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:21,960 Speaker 1: hosted a soccer tournament. I drove some of the players 1739 01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:25,000 Speaker 1: from posing schools and one teenager spotted a stuffed black 1740 01:40:25,080 --> 01:40:28,479 Speaker 1: bear on a business's roof. One of the students was 1741 01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:32,320 Speaker 1: shocked and called it racist. He was dumbfounded. When I 1742 01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:35,519 Speaker 1: informed him the University of Maine mascot was the black bear, 1743 01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:38,720 Speaker 1: which is native to New England. Silence for the rest 1744 01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:44,120 Speaker 1: of the ride. Well, that's quite a that's quite a story. Yeah. 1745 01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:47,360 Speaker 1: I mean, look, people can find racism everywhere. If you 1746 01:40:47,439 --> 01:40:49,559 Speaker 1: go and you read the report from the New York Times. 1747 01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:51,400 Speaker 1: I read some excerpts of it. I didn't read the 1748 01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:54,599 Speaker 1: whole thing. It's very long report about their science reporter 1749 01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:58,240 Speaker 1: who got fired for you know, allegedly, you know, using 1750 01:40:58,320 --> 01:41:01,519 Speaker 1: a racial slur in the text of asking whether somebody 1751 01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:04,120 Speaker 1: else had used the racial slur. You go back and 1752 01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:07,000 Speaker 1: read the report and they also accused him. These students 1753 01:41:07,479 --> 01:41:10,879 Speaker 1: who are from sixty thousand dollars a year boarding schools 1754 01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:13,240 Speaker 1: in the Northeast. For the most part, this is one 1755 01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:15,759 Speaker 1: of these trips that that is set up and places 1756 01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:18,400 Speaker 1: like The New York Times, you know, they create these 1757 01:41:18,439 --> 01:41:21,559 Speaker 1: things because it's basically a cash grab for them, because 1758 01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:24,360 Speaker 1: people pay all this money to have a New York 1759 01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:28,880 Speaker 1: Times journalist leads some trip for eighteen year olds to uh, 1760 01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:33,840 Speaker 1: you know, an ecosustainable village or something in Peru, and 1761 01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:37,280 Speaker 1: then they put that on their on their college applications, 1762 01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:39,640 Speaker 1: you know, so maybe they're seventeen. I guess some of 1763 01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:42,479 Speaker 1: them are eighteen. Their college applications for the following year. 1764 01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:44,639 Speaker 1: You know, that's what this is. It's one of these 1765 01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:48,960 Speaker 1: these resume padding things that rich kids do. And anyway, 1766 01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:51,320 Speaker 1: the rich kids on the trip, I believe none of 1767 01:41:51,360 --> 01:41:54,320 Speaker 1: the kids were black on the trip, so just start 1768 01:41:54,320 --> 01:41:56,560 Speaker 1: with that. But they were the ones that brought the 1769 01:41:56,600 --> 01:41:59,320 Speaker 1: complaint against this New York Times reporter who just got fired. 1770 01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:04,120 Speaker 1: But they also accused him of, oh gosh, I gotta 1771 01:42:04,120 --> 01:42:06,000 Speaker 1: I gotta go back and check. And they accused him 1772 01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:10,120 Speaker 1: of absurd things. You know. They accused him of of 1773 01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:14,200 Speaker 1: like demeaning someone's hometown. That was one of the complaints 1774 01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:18,200 Speaker 1: that they raised because he made some comment like, oh, Boston, 1775 01:42:18,240 --> 01:42:20,360 Speaker 1: that's a great town, you know, shame about your sports 1776 01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:22,519 Speaker 1: teams though, or something, and they raised that as a complaint. 1777 01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:25,679 Speaker 1: I mean, the people on this trip, these kids are 1778 01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:28,080 Speaker 1: Remember we used to use the term snowflake all the 1779 01:42:28,120 --> 01:42:34,400 Speaker 1: time for very very easily wounded and offended liberals. You know, 1780 01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:36,360 Speaker 1: people who are just oh, they're always in a panic 1781 01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:38,960 Speaker 1: that that maybe we should bring that turn back or 1782 01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:41,280 Speaker 1: we need another one. Because that's what was going on. 1783 01:42:41,320 --> 01:42:44,280 Speaker 1: Here and this guy lost his job. He's been any 1784 01:42:44,479 --> 01:42:46,599 Speaker 1: any begged forgiveness and they didn't give it to him. 1785 01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:50,640 Speaker 1: So people guess people can find defense anywhere they want to, 1786 01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:54,000 Speaker 1: and claiming victims status is actually a power play. I 1787 01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:59,240 Speaker 1: always remember that you're listening to the Buck Sexton Choke podcast. 1788 01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:01,799 Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart 1789 01:43:01,920 --> 01:43:06,080 Speaker 1: Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

And let's 1799 01:43:30,439 --> 01:43:32,320 Speaker 1: get back into roll Call. Scott, Hey, Buck, I was 1800 01:43:32,360 --> 01:43:35,000 Speaker 1: glad to hear you say on Tuesday's show that Trump 1801 01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:38,880 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty can't succeed in twenty twenty four. I 1802 01:43:38,920 --> 01:43:41,519 Speaker 1: supported him twice because he was the most conservative option, 1803 01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:44,320 Speaker 1: but he showed he is not a conservative. He never 1804 01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:47,000 Speaker 1: mentioned or acted in any way to promote limited government. 1805 01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:50,679 Speaker 1: He cannot discuss conservative principles coherently, as shown in the debates. 1806 01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:53,600 Speaker 1: Trump's best go to is greatest or biggest, and that 1807 01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:55,920 Speaker 1: can't cut it. He needs to actually know something or 1808 01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:58,160 Speaker 1: stay out of the race if he wants any chance 1809 01:43:58,160 --> 01:44:00,960 Speaker 1: of winning in twenty twenty four, needs to spend eighteen 1810 01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,519 Speaker 1: months learning our principles and then he can contribute positively 1811 01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:06,719 Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty two elections. Well, Scott, I think, 1812 01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:08,800 Speaker 1: first of all, I appreciate you writing in and that 1813 01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:11,320 Speaker 1: you're you're sharing a perspective that I some of the 1814 01:44:11,320 --> 01:44:13,080 Speaker 1: audience will share with you. Most of them probably will 1815 01:44:13,120 --> 01:44:15,880 Speaker 1: disagree with you on a lot of that because people 1816 01:44:15,960 --> 01:44:21,280 Speaker 1: view Trump as as um. It wasn't about his conservative philosophy. 1817 01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:25,040 Speaker 1: It was about his ability to fight the other side 1818 01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:29,360 Speaker 1: and to stand up against the madness of the woke 1819 01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:32,280 Speaker 1: left and on that he did never bend the knee, 1820 01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:35,160 Speaker 1: and that's that's part of him that I find very compelling. 1821 01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:38,280 Speaker 1: But you're when you say that I say that Trump 1822 01:44:38,360 --> 01:44:41,040 Speaker 1: can't succeed in twenty twenty Yeah, I think that unless 1823 01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:44,520 Speaker 1: their lessons learned, and unless he has a change in personnel. 1824 01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:48,320 Speaker 1: You know, you see what happened in this election. There 1825 01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:51,799 Speaker 1: were there were some shortcomings, and the people around Trump 1826 01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:54,960 Speaker 1: know that, and we'll start to talk about that. But 1827 01:44:55,160 --> 01:44:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's not a it's not a revenue 1828 01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:02,920 Speaker 1: in dancing move as a conservative, as a Republican, in 1829 01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:07,759 Speaker 1: media or in politics, to speak honestly about what happened 1830 01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:09,720 Speaker 1: in the last election, you know, the good, the bad, 1831 01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:14,320 Speaker 1: and the ugly. And that needs to change because we 1832 01:45:14,479 --> 01:45:17,760 Speaker 1: lost this last election in part because yes, all the 1833 01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:20,600 Speaker 1: election law changes and everything had happened, but it was 1834 01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:23,880 Speaker 1: happening and the Trump campaign wasn't doing anything about it 1835 01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:26,519 Speaker 1: and had months and months of that going on. So 1836 01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:29,280 Speaker 1: there are things we need to be very honest about. 1837 01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:31,800 Speaker 1: And I know that that's not always fun to hear 1838 01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:34,439 Speaker 1: as somebody who wants to see Trump succeed, and I 1839 01:45:34,439 --> 01:45:36,400 Speaker 1: do want to see Trump succeed if he runs again. 1840 01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:39,200 Speaker 1: I'm also not convinced he's going to run again. I 1841 01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:42,240 Speaker 1: think he's going to be important the Republican Party, but 1842 01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:44,400 Speaker 1: I think that he's going to put forward someone else, 1843 01:45:44,439 --> 01:45:47,679 Speaker 1: probably from the Trump family, as his heir. Apparent. That's 1844 01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:50,320 Speaker 1: my belief right now. That could change, but that's what 1845 01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:53,519 Speaker 1: I see happening. That's gonna be the show for today. Everybody. 1846 01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:56,120 Speaker 1: I appreciate you being here. Please pass the buck.
