Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio Act
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Someone explained to me,
Speaker 1: what the point of having thousands of soldiers fencing, barbed wire,
Speaker 1: all these security precautions in DC, turning it into an
Speaker 1: armed camp around the Capitol. What's the purpose of all that?
Speaker 1: If we're going to shut down Congress? The United States
Speaker 1: Congress will say, sorry, we're too frightened right now, we're
Speaker 1: too under threat because of something that someone saw on
Speaker 1: the internet. Law enforcement sensitive, that's what they're saying. Can't
Speaker 1: tell you what it is. I know what law enforcement
Speaker 1: sensitive means. It's whatever somebody who happens to work for
Speaker 1: a law enforcement agency decides to call it. There's really
Speaker 1: no specific classifying authority or anything else, and it can
Speaker 1: be very often open source stuff that just happens to
Speaker 1: catch the attention of individuals who maybe looking for, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, a way to please their bosses, who
Speaker 1: are saying, we got to find some threat reporting here
Speaker 1: because we've been told by the people who write the
Speaker 1: checks that that's what needs to happen. Now, I'm not
Speaker 1: saying there isn't a threat. I'm not saying there aren't
Speaker 1: QAnon crazies who have posted stuff on the internet about
Speaker 1: how they're going to storm the coupitl again. But you're
Speaker 1: gonna shut down Congress for this? Do we really think
Speaker 1: that this QAnon threat is going to result in a
Speaker 1: battalion sized engagement against thousands of National Guard or on
Speaker 1: the Capitol? I mean, is that what we're supposed to believe?
Speaker 1: I just want to know, why are they shutting this down?
Speaker 1: Why would they bend the nee to online lunatics in
Speaker 1: this way unless it's really not about security and safety
Speaker 1: and all that at all. This is something that I
Speaker 1: see here. I used to work in threat reporting and
Speaker 1: in the national security side of things. I was at
Speaker 1: the CIA's counter Terrorism Centers, the NYPD's Intelligence Division. So
Speaker 1: I can tell you that if you want to find
Speaker 1: and any given day you want the ability to say, oh,
Speaker 1: there's a there's a threat. Remember during the early days
Speaker 1: of homeland security. Oh today we're in an orange day.
Speaker 1: We're in a yellow day of threat. Maybe it's Shartruz,
Speaker 1: maybe it's more like Burgundy. Oh, I don't know. Does
Speaker 1: it go with my shoes? Remember all that the color
Speaker 1: coded threat days. And at that point there were civil libertarians,
Speaker 1: there were people who were left of center who were
Speaker 1: willing to say, this is government overreach, this is madness.
Speaker 1: You can't have this. But now the Democrat Party, the left,
Speaker 1: the ACLU, all of it, all of it onboard for authoritarianism,
Speaker 1: onboard for stamping out discent, destroying the Republican Party, silencing
Speaker 1: opposing voices in our politics. It's necessary, you see, to
Speaker 1: defend our republic from the threat of q Anon. I've
Speaker 1: never even met somebody who believed in qann. Republicans have
Speaker 1: a ninety seven I believe percent negative view of it,
Speaker 1: thinking that it's nonsense. And yet here we are being
Speaker 1: told and by to get ninety seven percent of people
Speaker 1: aren't sure that, you know, stubbing their toe is a
Speaker 1: bad thing, right, So ninety seven percent is actually pretty high.
Speaker 1: And we're shutting down the Capitol. Why are we doing this?
Speaker 1: Why are we shutting down Congress right now? How has
Speaker 1: this decision been made? You know? I just spoke to
Speaker 1: Congressman Devin Nunas yesterday. He's in the House Intelligence Committee.
Speaker 1: Is there is there any threat reporting that has him worried? No?
Speaker 1: Why is it that only Democrat members of Congress are
Speaker 1: speaking to the press about this, because it's about the optics.
Speaker 1: It's about making sure that they can continue with this
Speaker 1: narrative that DC that the Capitol, the sacred sanctum of
Speaker 1: our democracy. Right, the United States Capitol Building is under
Speaker 1: a constant threat from QAnon, and by QAnon, they really
Speaker 1: just mean Trump supporters. That's the jump that all these
Speaker 1: CNN watchers, all the MSNBC viewers immediately make New York
Speaker 1: Times readers when when someone writes or says QAnon, what
Speaker 1: they hear is oh, Trump people. And then they feel
Speaker 1: very justified with the continuation of the purge of conservative ideas,
Speaker 1: of conservatives from social media platforms, kicking them out of
Speaker 1: their jobs, having corporations openly spit in their faces with
Speaker 1: these ridiculous statements of wokeness. Right, that's what's actually going on,
Speaker 1: but they think it's entirely justified. They have to perpetuate
Speaker 1: this exaggerated, this hysterical narrative about how the capital is
Speaker 1: under threatened. At any moment, it could just spill over
Speaker 1: and we might lose our democracy unless we have thousands
Speaker 1: of soldiers, unless we have a preparation for what looks
Speaker 1: like at foreign invasion in our nation's capital. It's so absurd.
Speaker 1: The people I know who are in DC and who
Speaker 1: are watching this play out just say, it's it's obvious
Speaker 1: that this is for theatrical purposes, that this is so
Speaker 1: that they can have you know, ap AP photographers and
Speaker 1: you know Reuters journalists and CNN correspondents standing in front
Speaker 1: of the fenced in Capitol building any moment now, those
Speaker 1: Trump supporters, those Trump supporters are going to come after us.
Speaker 1: This is really a similar mentality to your neighbor who
Speaker 1: thinks that if you don't wear three masks when you're
Speaker 1: driving alone in your car, you don't take the virus seriously.
Speaker 1: This is a state of hysteria. I think we also
Speaker 1: have to remember that because of the panic porn purveyors,
Speaker 1: because of the way that we've all been made to
Speaker 1: feel so afraid of coronavirus and have accepted authoritarianism in
Speaker 1: America almost without question in many cities. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: the cities that have been the worst for this, and
Speaker 1: they've just gone along with whatever absurd fauciism has been
Speaker 1: inflicted upon us. But you see this, it continues to
Speaker 1: play out, and you realize that the American people are
Speaker 1: emotionally a lot of them emotionally unwell. Right now, there
Speaker 1: is a mass psychosis that has descended on this country
Speaker 1: along with a viral pandemic, and people are exploiting it.
Speaker 1: This is a time of near universal anxiety and often
Speaker 1: exaggerated fear, and there are cynical, ruthless, selfish, power mad
Speaker 1: people in the Democrat Party who want to use this
Speaker 1: to their advantage. They are trying to run the Obama
Speaker 1: administration playbook all over again, but this time, instead of
Speaker 1: a financial crisis, it's a viral crisis. Right It's an
Speaker 1: epidemiological challenge that we face. And that's the excuse for
Speaker 1: doing whatever they want to do. Remember, you either a
Speaker 1: god on board with Obama's stimulus or you didn't care
Speaker 1: about workers. You didn't care about people. Almost a trillion
Speaker 1: dollars spent didn't save the banks that had already been done.
Speaker 1: But the Obama administration knew that a crisis was a
Speaker 1: terrible thing to waste, especially if you're an authoritarian who
Speaker 1: believes that your decision making, that your right to govern
Speaker 1: is sacred. Although it doesn't come from God, it comes
Speaker 1: from somewhere else, the state itself, because the state is
Speaker 1: in place of God for Democrats, as you know, oh
Speaker 1: I know, not all but the ones who run things. Yes,
Speaker 1: it actually is. Nancy Pelosi is not an action. Nancy
Speaker 1: Pelosi is not a spiritual person. I can assure you that.
Speaker 1: And here we are being told that the capital has
Speaker 1: to be treated like it is under siege, when really
Speaker 1: what you're recognizing here is that freedom is under siege
Speaker 1: in America right now, that the optics that they're creating
Speaker 1: are meant to infringe upon your rights. The optics they're
Speaker 1: creating gives the excuse for further crackdowns, for treating political
Speaker 1: and policy disputes as though there existential crises for the
Speaker 1: United States of America. This is how the Democrats come
Speaker 1: into office. They promise normalcy. Are you feeling any normalcy yet?
Speaker 1: Does this seem like things are going in the right direction?
Speaker 1: Do you think that they're actually doing the things that
Speaker 1: they promised during the election. I mean, so far, Biden
Speaker 1: as visibly declining Democrat figurehead who just shuffles around mumbling
Speaker 1: and signing whatever the activists and special interests put in
Speaker 1: front of him, is working out exactly as predicted by
Speaker 1: people like me. This is what you get. They promise technocracy,
Speaker 1: they promise sound government that'll make things better for all
Speaker 1: people that come in, and they focus on an open border,
Speaker 1: transgender athletes, climate change, catastrophism, and controlling and micromanaging every
Speaker 1: aspect of your life. This is what they do with
Speaker 1: the power they've been given. Oh and now they're passing
Speaker 1: a COVID relief bill that they've stalled for months and months.
Speaker 1: You know, thousands and thousands of businesses have gone under forever,
Speaker 1: people's life's work ruined, gone, families impoverished because Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 1: wanted things to work out in her favor politically. I
Speaker 1: didn't care about this. She wanted leverage, So they've delayed this.
Speaker 1: Here we are in March, and we're still wondering when
Speaker 1: will there be a coronavirus relief bill because this one
Speaker 1: is just a Democrat wishless bill that happens to throw
Speaker 1: in some nineteen relief so that they can make a
Speaker 1: claim that we all know is ridiculous that the focus
Speaker 1: of this is about helping the American people from COVID,
Speaker 1: when the real focus of this is Democrats spending money
Speaker 1: on whatever the heck they want. But they don't want
Speaker 1: you to pay attention to that. You're not supposed to
Speaker 1: see that. You know, you're supposed to see the barbed wire,
Speaker 1: the fences, the National Guard soldiers deployed around our nation's
Speaker 1: capital as a warning to anybody who would stand against
Speaker 1: them and say, are you with the insurrectionists? Be quiet,
Speaker 1: take what you're given. We're in charge. Now. That's the
Speaker 1: normalcy that Biden is bringing to you. You're in the
Speaker 1: freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Get the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. Well, look,
Speaker 1: I think the actions of the new democratic administration are
Speaker 1: unifying the Republican Party. We've had some eternal back and
Speaker 1: forth that's been widely covered, but nothing has unified the
Speaker 1: Republican Party in both a House and the Senate faster
Speaker 1: then reacting to this new left wing administration. So we're
Speaker 1: looking forward. We're not going to look backward. We're looking forward,
Speaker 1: dealing with the problems America has today, not the problems
Speaker 1: ahead yesterday. And as I said, I have sensed in
Speaker 1: our conference, and I think in the House Republican conference
Speaker 1: as well, a new sense of unity pulling together to
Speaker 1: oppose this left wing administration. Nothing unites Republicans like the clownishness, fecklessness,
Speaker 1: and authoritarianism of the Democrat Party. These people are not
Speaker 1: better at governing Democrats, Joe Biden, They're not smarter. They're
Speaker 1: not bringing us together. It's like the country's being run
Speaker 1: by the people writing the comments section an MSNBC, and
Speaker 1: it's working out exactly as we thought. Gas price is
Speaker 1: going up, employing, unemployment going up, people feeling shakier about
Speaker 1: the economy and about the future. And what is the
Speaker 1: activist left want? Doctor Seus's books getting banned. That's their focus.
Speaker 1: That's what they decide. Oh, I know, you'd say, put
Speaker 1: buck They made the decision themselves. Yeah, because they realized
Speaker 1: that they were gonna get got by the left. They
Speaker 1: were coming after them, So it's preemptive canceling. What could
Speaker 1: be better than that. That's the whole point. Censors only
Speaker 1: have to censor so much before they want you to
Speaker 1: start doing it yourself. That's what social media is all about.
Speaker 1: That's the reason that they keep banning people like me
Speaker 1: from pulling out how stupid these lockdowns are. Because if
Speaker 1: I get kicked off of social media. If I get
Speaker 1: suspended or demonetize, or any number of things which keeps
Speaker 1: happening to me, a lot of other people realize, well,
Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with that. I'll just go
Speaker 1: I'll just tow the party line. I'll just say what
Speaker 1: I'm told, I'll do what I'm told. So they're making
Speaker 1: their decisions. This is the chilling effect on speech. We
Speaker 1: talk about having a society that upholds free speech. No,
Speaker 1: that speech is being chilled like it's all in an
Speaker 1: igloo somewhere on top of a glacier. It's freezing. But
Speaker 1: this is where we are. This is the country that
Speaker 1: we're dealing with right now, because unfortunately, the corporate media,
Speaker 1: coupled with a pandemic, was enough to convince people that
Speaker 1: somehow Joe Biden was a better steward of the economy
Speaker 1: or would be and would make better foreign policy decisions
Speaker 1: than his predecessor. And now we're all starting to see
Speaker 1: what that reality is. The good news is that the
Speaker 1: Democrats created a perception of something of some one with
Speaker 1: Joe Biden that simply does not exist. Does not exist.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is visibly in decline. We can all see it.
Speaker 1: The guy's too old for the job. I said it
Speaker 1: all along. I stand behind that, and the fact that
Speaker 1: he hasn't held the press conference in over forty days.
Speaker 1: I thought this was going to be a transparent administration.
Speaker 1: I thought that they were going to have journalists that
Speaker 1: would ask hard questions. I mean, that's laughable. We all
Speaker 1: know that's laughable. But here we are, and what exactly
Speaker 1: have they done that makes the lives of the American
Speaker 1: people better? Having a crisis at the border that's supposed
Speaker 1: to make us feel better, that's supposed to help us.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how anybody can view what's happened since
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has come into power and think that somehow
Speaker 1: this is good for the country. Even Mitch McConnell himself
Speaker 1: is saying, look, the crisis at the border is of
Speaker 1: their creation. Play fourteen is Secretary of Mayorkas, the head
Speaker 1: of the Homeland Security says there's no crisis at the border. Well,
Speaker 1: that's absolutely incorrect, And the crisis was created by the
Speaker 1: administration sending a message to desperate people who want to
Speaker 1: come here that just hang on, you'll get in sooner
Speaker 1: or later. And of course the Mexican government done will
Speaker 1: become less cooperative. One thing the previous administration did an
Speaker 1: excellent job of any objective standard was border security, and
Speaker 1: all of that is being undone very quickly in this
Speaker 1: new administration. They own this crisis and the border. They
Speaker 1: created it, and they could stop it if they chose to.
Speaker 1: You know, there are illegal immigrants who are showing up
Speaker 1: at the border. I'm serious, this was just reported today
Speaker 1: wearing Biden let us in T shirts. They know exactly
Speaker 1: what's going on. This isn't hard to figure out. And
Speaker 1: this is like being told that you can just show
Speaker 1: up with a winning lottery ticket. Now you got the
Speaker 1: Biden administration in why go through years of immigration law
Speaker 1: hassle and doing all these things and get your fees it,
Speaker 1: get your green card, get no no, no no, just
Speaker 1: show up, show up with a Biden let us in
Speaker 1: T shirt. And the Democrats will recognize that this is
Speaker 1: a political advantage for them to have more and more
Speaker 1: people coming into the country who will owe their status
Speaker 1: in the US to the Democrat Party and will also
Speaker 1: need more assistance on average from the state from the
Speaker 1: government than other immigrants than other Americans will. So of
Speaker 1: course we understand who they're going to vote for in
Speaker 1: the aggregate, not all of them, but seventy five to
Speaker 1: ninety percent of them. And that's why Democrats are all
Speaker 1: in favor of this. That's all this is. Do you
Speaker 1: think it really matters if Biden is a buffoon, if
Speaker 1: Biden doesn't govern well, if they can just create new
Speaker 1: Democrat voters at will by kicking the border wine open,
Speaker 1: you think that we're really going to win this. Look
Speaker 1: at the trends right now. You have social media shutting
Speaker 1: down conservatives. You have the biggest the biggest media companies
Speaker 1: and platforms in the world, just the biggest companies really
Speaker 1: now in the world are woke. They are anti conservative.
Speaker 1: And this is all happening at a time when the
Speaker 1: Democrats have full control, unified control really of the government.
Speaker 1: I know the Senate is technically split, but it's a
Speaker 1: de facto majority for the Democrats. And instead of trying
Speaker 1: to bring us together, instead of showing people that the
Speaker 1: Democrats will do a good job, I mean, I would
Speaker 1: be happy to show up here one day and saying, wow, guys,
Speaker 1: this Democrat plans really working out. I mean, look at
Speaker 1: how much it's helping the American people. Look at how
Speaker 1: this is really getting things going. Maybe we should, you know,
Speaker 1: take a page from their playbook and the next time
Speaker 1: around we'll try it. I'd be happy to do that
Speaker 1: some day on something. Not a single thing could I
Speaker 1: say that about? Not one, not one decision that Biden
Speaker 1: has made since coming into office that was opposed by Republicans? Right,
Speaker 1: So yes, getting people vaccinated. Of course it's a good idea.
Speaker 1: This was already happening. Mean, there are things that are
Speaker 1: going on with the government that are good. I'm not crazy,
Speaker 1: But not a single change with this administration from the
Speaker 1: previous administration on policy has been intelligent, has been good.
Speaker 1: There's nothing what are they doing? So instead they want
Speaker 1: to silence and shut you down? Then if they have to,
Speaker 1: they'll just make new voters. This is the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I
Speaker 1: hope everybody's realized by now these masks make a difference.
Speaker 1: We are on the crust book being able to fundamentally
Speaker 1: change the nature of this disease because of the way
Speaker 1: which you're able to get vaccines in people's arms. We've
Speaker 1: been able to move that all the way up to
Speaker 1: the end of May to have enough for every American
Speaker 1: to get every adult American to get a shot. And
Speaker 1: the last thing, the last thing we need is neanderthal
Speaker 1: thinking that in the meantime, everything's trying to take off
Speaker 1: your masks. Forget it. It still matters. I carry a
Speaker 1: card and they don't have it. I put it on
Speaker 1: my desk a less. As of yesterday, we've lost five
Speaker 1: hundred eleven thousand, eight hundred and seventy four Americans. They
Speaker 1: will lose thousands more. This will not occur. We might
Speaker 1: have everybody vaccinated, so sometime in the summer we have
Speaker 1: the vaccine to do it. Getting a shot in someone's
Speaker 1: arm and getting the second shot, you're gonna take time,
Speaker 1: and is critical, critical, critical, critical that they follow the science.
Speaker 1: Wash your hands hot water, do it frequently, where a mask,
Speaker 1: and stay socially distance. And I know you all about that.
Speaker 1: I wish the heck some of our elected efficially do it.
Speaker 1: So fact you very much. Yeah for the science, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the science, you know, the actual science in terms of
Speaker 1: the data. I don't like this term the science, as
Speaker 1: though that is an argument end or they use this.
Speaker 1: They use the term and Biden does this all the time,
Speaker 1: has all along the science to mean, listen to what
Speaker 1: I'm dictating to you as a policy matter or else.
Speaker 1: There's a difference between data and decision making. But they
Speaker 1: try to cloud this, They try to create a confusion
Speaker 1: between those two things. Right, I can look at data
Speaker 1: and say, hmm, there's a lot of other factors now
Speaker 1: that I have to consider before I make a decision
Speaker 1: about what to do as a result of it. Right,
Speaker 1: And this comes into play now when you have people
Speaker 1: that are already bringing up the possibility of masking up
Speaker 1: and social I mean social distancing isn't a policy. It
Speaker 1: just means human beings staying away for other human beings,
Speaker 1: which doesn't work in practice. In America, people around other
Speaker 1: people all the time. We have no way of actually
Speaker 1: separating people from people for over a year, it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: As the numbers all across America's show. And for people
Speaker 1: that are saying, well, what about this country? What about
Speaker 1: that country? Every country is different in terms of its
Speaker 1: age profile, obesity, comorbidities, previous exposure of the general population
Speaker 1: to coronaviruses that may be similar to this one. Every
Speaker 1: country is different our country. You see the numbers yourself,
Speaker 1: do you think that the mitigation measures all worked. They're saying, oh,
Speaker 1: I will Joe Barnel will say fifty thousand lives, fifty thousand,
Speaker 1: not forty eight fifty thousand lives if we mask up.
Speaker 1: How do they come to that number? All they did
Speaker 1: some modeling. They've got some people who are sitting at
Speaker 1: computers and throw some numbers in there, you know, the
Speaker 1: same way that they tell you what the temperature is
Speaker 1: going to be, the global average temperature will be in
Speaker 1: fifty years, which they will be wrong, guaranteed. And then
Speaker 1: they'll say, oh, but now we figured out why they're wrong,
Speaker 1: so the next fifty years will be critical. The same
Speaker 1: thing you're seeing over and over again. I see all
Speaker 1: this happening right now, and I gotta tell you it's
Speaker 1: it's stunning to me, honestly, how long it's taken for
Speaker 1: people to realize what a clown show it has been.
Speaker 1: With the people in charge here making all these decisions.
Speaker 1: These public health experts, public health officials, most people that
Speaker 1: work in a municipal public health function are slightly more
Speaker 1: impressive than your average DMV employee. That's the truth, slightly.
Speaker 1: I actually went to the DMV in New York recent
Speaker 1: I gotta say, lady was working with me, very polite,
Speaker 1: went pretty well. But these people have been making decisions
Speaker 1: that are having enormous impact on lives, and they're doing it,
Speaker 1: they say, because they're saving lives. Where is the evidence
Speaker 1: of that, Biden saying it's neanderthal thinking to change change
Speaker 1: some of our restrictions in different states. Do you think
Speaker 1: he'll apologize for that when, as I've said, we're going
Speaker 1: to come back to this in the middle of April.
Speaker 1: We're going to see did Texas cases continue to just
Speaker 1: go in a straight line decline down? Because if mitigation
Speaker 1: measures in place at government mandate different than what you
Speaker 1: want to do yourself. If you want to wear two masks,
Speaker 1: you want to wear ten masks, you want to stay
Speaker 1: home for the next six months, go for it. This
Speaker 1: was always a question not about what somebody should be
Speaker 1: able to do as an individual to protect themselves. That's
Speaker 1: up to you, that is an individual right now. This
Speaker 1: was always about what all of us are made to
Speaker 1: do because of the excess anxiety and authoritarian tendency that's
Speaker 1: out there right now. This is about being forced to
Speaker 1: do things in the name of the defense of the
Speaker 1: collective health that have real world consequences for people. Destruction
Speaker 1: of businesses. I mean, how many of you would be
Speaker 1: willing to take pretty extreme risks to prevent your business
Speaker 1: or your job from going away, your bank account from
Speaker 1: going to zero, perhaps racking up ten, fifteen, twenty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars of credit card debt during this period that you
Speaker 1: won't be able to get out of. I mean, the
Speaker 1: financial ruination of lives is a real consequences. It's not
Speaker 1: just a little thing. It's not about people just want
Speaker 1: to get a hair cut. Remember that. That's what That's
Speaker 1: the snide, dismissive garbage that the morons at CNN and
Speaker 1: other places we're pushing out there to the public when
Speaker 1: we were saying, hold on to these lockdowns really work?
Speaker 1: Is this really sensible? Why are we doing this? Why
Speaker 1: have we never done this before? Never in the history
Speaker 1: You have to remember this, because the gas lighting is
Speaker 1: constant and all this stuff. Never before in the history
Speaker 1: of modern medicine. Okay, never before since we've even known
Speaker 1: about antibiotics, have we done mass quarantine, which is what
Speaker 1: this is. This is mass quarantine or quasi quarantine, mass masking.
Speaker 1: All this stuff never happened before. We've been through terrible
Speaker 1: flue seasons that killed tens of thousands of people. We've
Speaker 1: had you know, all this and no, no, no, this
Speaker 1: never happened before. But it's so obvious, don't you see
Speaker 1: That's what they tell you. Now clearly this is not
Speaker 1: only is it obvious we should do it for COVID,
Speaker 1: but now they're starting to say, you're just beginning to
Speaker 1: hear it people popping up on TV. Maybe we should
Speaker 1: do this every winter. Maybe just sort of, you know,
Speaker 1: scale everything down, stay at home, mask up. I just
Speaker 1: I wish to God that there had been a country
Speaker 1: that had decided that that was in a position to say,
Speaker 1: we're just not going to do any of this and
Speaker 1: we're going to track everything. I wish there was a
Speaker 1: state where this would have been the too. Now. I
Speaker 1: know some of you're gonna say Florida or you're gonna
Speaker 1: say Sweden, but there have been some restriction, some some
Speaker 1: shutdowns in place in those count in either Sweden in
Speaker 1: the case of the country, or you know, Florida. You
Speaker 1: go to Miami, you got to wear masks when you
Speaker 1: go into restaurants. There's a different feeling about it, and
Speaker 1: people aren't acting like you're a mass murderer. If you
Speaker 1: walk in you're breathing air like a person does. But
Speaker 1: it hasn't been entirely without these I just wish we
Speaker 1: had a true control group because I think what you'd
Speaker 1: see is by the way, I'm not I'm not delusional.
Speaker 1: I don't think that the absence of mitigation measures would
Speaker 1: have been some kind of a panacea by any stretch.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, but I think it would have been basically
Speaker 1: what you've seen in places that did do extreme lockdowns.
Speaker 1: That's that's what the If you look at the data
Speaker 1: honestly in this country and try to get a real
Speaker 1: and accurate comparison, what you find is what Rohn de
Speaker 1: Santis is saying now openly, which is that lockdowns don't work.
Speaker 1: They'll never admit that. Do you think they'll ever tell you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we had this unbelievable power grab. We were telling you
Speaker 1: you couldn't go to church. We were telling you to
Speaker 1: mask up or double mask. Cuomo was actually going on TV,
Speaker 1: remember this, Governor Cuomo, New York saying if you don't mask,
Speaker 1: you could kill somebody. That's what he was saying. You're
Speaker 1: like a murderer if you don't do what they say,
Speaker 1: this was a mass hysteria, And now we actually look
Speaker 1: at it, do you find out, hold on, was any
Speaker 1: of this worthwhile? Did we need to do this? Should
Speaker 1: individuals have just been left to make their own decisions
Speaker 1: and focus protection, which would have meant making sure that
Speaker 1: nursing homes received, you know, a vast majority of the
Speaker 1: resources and testing and everything else to try to prevent
Speaker 1: what has happened. What happened was this virus burned through
Speaker 1: nursing homes across the country. That's what actually happened. They
Speaker 1: act like they got ahead of this, the measures the
Speaker 1: public health. We know the virus ripped through nursing homes
Speaker 1: all across the country. Fifty percent roughly fifty percent of
Speaker 1: deaths in America from COVID nineteen in nursing homes. Does
Speaker 1: anyone think that that's the result of really excellent prevention. No,
Speaker 1: this virus just spread all across the country, tens of millions,
Speaker 1: perhaps now hundreds of millions of infections in total. And
Speaker 1: they act like we stopped it or we listening to
Speaker 1: them was some kind of a game changer. Ah. Really, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is this is this is the world of fantasy,
Speaker 1: unfortunately that they live in, and it's why now they're
Speaker 1: they're fighting so much against a reopen that's a little
Speaker 1: bit earlier, because the places that reopen a little bit earlier,
Speaker 1: just like we saw last spring, will be the same
Speaker 1: as the places that are wear a mask, stay at home,
Speaker 1: wash your hands, be the same. That doesn't mean there
Speaker 1: won't be cases and deaths. There will, But what's the
Speaker 1: point of doing this stuff and suffering all the consequences
Speaker 1: of the lockdown if there's actually no real aggregate benefit.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Joined the conversation
Speaker 1: and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email team Bucket
Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it on the show.
Speaker 1: The two things Brian first obviously is not the type
Speaker 1: of thing that a president should be saying. But second,
Speaker 1: he kind of said on the worst day he could
Speaker 1: have because the same day he said that in Texas,
Speaker 1: the Biden administration was releasing illegal immigrant illegal immigrants into
Speaker 1: our communities who had COVID. The Biden administration was spreading
Speaker 1: COVID in South Texas yesterday because of their lack of
Speaker 1: constraint of testing and quarantining people who'd come across the
Speaker 1: border illegally. The Biden administration was exposing Texans to COVID.
Speaker 1: That is Neanderthal type approach to dealing with the COVID situation.
Speaker 1: But more importantly, Brian is this, and that is with
Speaker 1: regard to mass the change in Texas really wasn't all
Speaker 1: that much different from where we were before for a
Speaker 1: couple of reasons. First, we are still strongly advocating that
Speaker 1: every Texans followed the best practice. Where we are today
Speaker 1: is completely different from where we were this time last
Speaker 1: year when Texans and Americans didn't know how to deal
Speaker 1: with this for an entire year. Texans have learned the
Speaker 1: best practice, and that is to wear a mask. And
Speaker 1: we still strongly recommend that people do wear a mask.
Speaker 1: Sense a little bit of a little bit of backpedaling
Speaker 1: here from Governor Rabbit, which is disconcerting to say the least,
Speaker 1: But this is what you've seen all along. You're a politician,
Speaker 1: you finally say that you're going to you're going to
Speaker 1: cease bending the need of the madness, and the crazy
Speaker 1: town just comes after you from all over the place.
Speaker 1: You're murdering people. This stuff. This is what they say,
Speaker 1: this is what they do, and I've got to tell you,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm angry because we're going to go back into
Speaker 1: this this period now where you have people that are
Speaker 1: are demanding, they're to keep demanding that you do these
Speaker 1: things until they feel safe. This is a society we
Speaker 1: live in now, you know. It's it's like we're all
Speaker 1: we're all being turned into the kids that get sent
Speaker 1: to recess by mom and dad with you know, a
Speaker 1: helmet and kneepads and making sure that you know you
Speaker 1: only have a hypoallergenic pillow with you at all times.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what they're doing to this country
Speaker 1: because what are the real what are the real benefits
Speaker 1: of what they've done so far? I mean, I'm talking
Speaker 1: about mandates, government action, individuals, so many people. You know,
Speaker 1: you know what they should do is go back to
Speaker 1: the studies where they were finding that people, most of
Speaker 1: the people, I think it was last summer in July,
Speaker 1: they found that seventy percent of new infections were people
Speaker 1: who claimed me masking up as required all the time,
Speaker 1: they're still getting sick. How how effective could we really
Speaker 1: think this is when you had you had mass mass compliance.
Speaker 1: Remember last April when the virus was at very high levels.
Speaker 1: You've had very few people really in March and April
Speaker 1: who were wearing masks as a portion of the general population.
Speaker 1: And then we went through a period where it was
Speaker 1: all across the country much more common, much higher compliance,
Speaker 1: and we still went into a winter with skyrocketing cases
Speaker 1: and hospitalizations in deaths. And I mean, they will, I
Speaker 1: know they will will always argue that, well, it would
Speaker 1: have been so much worse if you hadn't had these
Speaker 1: policies in place. But they're just they're never going to
Speaker 1: admit it. I'm going to I'm not going to relent.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to stop. But I think what people
Speaker 1: are seeing now, and I believe the market's beginning to
Speaker 1: react to this, the stock market, which is a weather
Speaker 1: vane of sorts of the economy. I think the stock
Speaker 1: markets react in the fact that the Biden people all
Speaker 1: they have to do is get out of the way
Speaker 1: and stop being idiots. And they really believe they're smarter.
Speaker 1: They really believe the conventional wisdom from the New York
Speaker 1: Times editorial page and CNN pundits pretending to be journalists.
Speaker 1: They think that that's actually a reflection of reality. I
Speaker 1: meant to get to this before. John Brennan XCI director,
Speaker 1: who's clearly a loon. He said that he was embarrassed
Speaker 1: to be a white male. Recently we talked about that.
Speaker 1: He's another one of these guys who is just perpetuating
Speaker 1: this myth. And it is a myth that now, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we have the adults in charge. Play sixteen.
Speaker 1: When I was President Obama's homand Security advisor, I'd be
Speaker 1: talking to the Director of Pi'd be talking to the
Speaker 1: Secretary of homemand Security, Capitol Police, the sergeant at arms
Speaker 1: in both houses to make sure that all of the
Speaker 1: preparations were in place. I don't believe that the White
Speaker 1: House did any of that in advance of January sixth.
Speaker 1: Now we have adults in the White House, and I
Speaker 1: think they're going to take this seriously. We have adults
Speaker 1: in the White House. This is the story. This is
Speaker 1: the branding exercise that we're going to contin you to
Speaker 1: go through. Um, what have they done so far that
Speaker 1: makes you think that that's true. They've handled the border
Speaker 1: crisis so well, the cancelation of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Speaker 1: Did you ever hear Joe Biden say he was going
Speaker 1: to do that when he was running. I don't remember
Speaker 1: that day one right away. Gonna get those those sanctimonious
Speaker 1: environmentalists with big check books. You gotta get them, you
Speaker 1: know in Malibu and Santa Monica, Gotta get them, and
Speaker 1: and the Bay area of San Francisco sending money a Democrats,
Speaker 1: So do something that makes them feel like they're saving
Speaker 1: the planet. You know, while they order around the servants
Speaker 1: tell them to, you know, trim the hedges faster. That's
Speaker 1: that's who really runs the Democrat Party. The people that
Speaker 1: have that kind of mentality, that's who's actually in charge,
Speaker 1: the Pelosi's, if you will, of America. Um. But they
Speaker 1: continue to perpetuate the lie that this is this is
Speaker 1: now the administration run by adults who exactly who do
Speaker 1: you trust? Who do you think is a really sound
Speaker 1: thinker that Joe Biden has put into a place of authority.
Speaker 1: I mean, you have Merrick Garlands as the Attorney General.
Speaker 1: When he's asked questions that are tough, he just goes, well,
Speaker 1: I haven't really thought about that. You know, this is
Speaker 1: this is the the great legal mind or that's a
Speaker 1: that's really just a complicated question, right, This is this
Speaker 1: is going to be quite a fight over the next
Speaker 1: two years because Trump psychologically damaged the Democrats so much
Speaker 1: that whatever common ground would have been easy to find
Speaker 1: with them in the past on certain issues, on some
Speaker 1: issues has has largely receded or perhaps evaporated. It's just gone.
Speaker 1: This is a party that is really the Democrats. They
Speaker 1: put they put Biden forward so that they can get
Speaker 1: AOC ideas done. That's really the game here, and I
Speaker 1: think people are waking up to it. I think people
Speaker 1: are starting to understand that that's what's happening. You're listening
Speaker 1: to the Fuck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe
Speaker 1: to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. It's time for our friend Kurt
Speaker 1: schlichtored away in on all of this. He is a
Speaker 1: senior columnist at town Hall. He's also a veteran of
Speaker 1: the United States military and an attorney. Mister Schleector could
Speaker 1: have you back he here. Hey, I had a lot
Speaker 1: of fun at Seatpack. I'm not telling yeah now, Seapack
Speaker 1: was Seatpack was good times. I think they should do
Speaker 1: it in Florida every year. Personally, tell me this man,
Speaker 1: do too, what do you think about Congress shutting down
Speaker 1: because of unspecified internet chatter about q Anon. While they
Speaker 1: have thousands of FISS deployed by the way and fencing
Speaker 1: up and everything else, the only people talking about QAnon
Speaker 1: are liberal media people. I mean, seriously, we just spent that.
Speaker 1: We just spent like four days surrounded by conservatives, often
Speaker 1: at close quarters drinking. Did you hear anybody refer to
Speaker 1: you in anything but like a joke? I mean, like
Speaker 1: even one part. Was there one person They're going, No,
Speaker 1: manque's a real thing that exists. It's so freaking stupid.
Speaker 1: It's this weird fantasy boogee man that they've invented, and
Speaker 1: it's hysterical. And now that Look, I'm for anything that
Speaker 1: keeps Congress from doing anything. Look, I mean that's like
Speaker 1: and if and if mythical uh capital letters are what
Speaker 1: it takes to keep Congress from performing mischief, fine, that's cool.
Speaker 1: What isn't cool is turning Capitol Hill into a fortress
Speaker 1: and screwing with our soldiers. Did you know several soldiers
Speaker 1: apparently had to go get medical treatment because the food
Speaker 1: that they were getting was so substandard, and of course,
Speaker 1: five miles away as the Pentagon. You'd you'd think somebody
Speaker 1: there would do something about it. But then again, they're
Speaker 1: probably planning intersectional operations. How is it possible. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is something that I saw the heads of this
Speaker 1: as well. We got we got members of the United
Speaker 1: States military deployed at our in our nation's capital, at
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill, and they're being given like rotted, moldy food.
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought the Pentagon, they can't get these
Speaker 1: guys from MRIs, like, what's going on. Look, the military
Speaker 1: is not no longer a serious organization, and I hate
Speaker 1: to see that. I mean, thirty years ago right now,
Speaker 1: I was in Desert Storm. It had just pretty much ended.
Speaker 1: I was with seven Core, which was the grass military
Speaker 1: formation in human history, and I know what competence looks like.
Speaker 1: This is a joke. I mean, they violate every basic
Speaker 1: rule of leadership. And the thing that galls me is
Speaker 1: it's not a secret. The generals are five miles away.
Speaker 1: They could be in their car over there unscrewing this
Speaker 1: in about ten minutes, and they're not because they don't care.
Speaker 1: Because that's not the priority. The priority is all this
Speaker 1: intersectional blogny that has taken away from the real focus
Speaker 1: of the military, WHI should be the ability to deter
Speaker 1: or defeat enemies. How much of there is that? How
Speaker 1: much of that is really going on right now with
Speaker 1: the intersectionality training and all this in the military. I mean,
Speaker 1: can you give us a sense of how and where
Speaker 1: that's actually happening. That's happening at every level. And a
Speaker 1: lot of US veterans are getting a lot of feedback
Speaker 1: from people still in there, like Kurt, you don't know
Speaker 1: how bad this is. This is the entire focus. And
Speaker 1: the problem is you have you know, career officers fourteen
Speaker 1: fifteen years, they're they're they're looking to make the last
Speaker 1: few to retire, and suddenly they're faced with this nonsense. Look,
Speaker 1: soldiers do with the commander's check and if the commanders
Speaker 1: are checking boxes, that's what they're going to do. That's
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. If intersectionality is the and all that,
Speaker 1: you know, all this nonsense is the most important thing,
Speaker 1: That's what the soldiers are going to do. And I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna cost lives and it doesn't make me
Speaker 1: happy to say it, but the fallout I'm seeing is
Speaker 1: most of US bets are now not recommending people join
Speaker 1: the military. This is something this this is heartbreaking to me.
Speaker 1: It's been twice seven years in I regret, uh, not
Speaker 1: a second of it. I think it was a great experience.
Speaker 1: But right now, in good conscience, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I can tell a young person you you should join
Speaker 1: the military. I won't try and talk them out of it,
Speaker 1: at least not yet. But I don't think this is
Speaker 1: a place for somebody who is concerned about their own
Speaker 1: We reached the point where even even branches like like
Speaker 1: the Marine Corps, the fabled Marine Corps, are they are
Speaker 1: they getting toxic masculinity training in the classroom. I mean
Speaker 1: there's that stuff happening. Oh absolutely, there's there's no safe
Speaker 1: space the Special Forces guys are doing. You know, when
Speaker 1: you have the Special Forces guys being briefed on your extremists, um,
Speaker 1: that's that's a major problem. And of course, when you
Speaker 1: say extremists, when you use these kind of nebulous terms,
Speaker 1: what you're really doing is the political enemies are the
Speaker 1: people in power. So you know, the idea that there
Speaker 1: are tons of secret Nazis you know, running around in
Speaker 1: our military is IDII. But there are a lot of
Speaker 1: conservative folks those are the target. Nobody cares about the
Speaker 1: like one random dude who's got a swastika you know
Speaker 1: on his uh, you know, tattooed on his heel. That
Speaker 1: that one lunatic is not the issue. The issue for
Speaker 1: them is getting rid of mainstream conservative, patriotic Americans and
Speaker 1: replacing them by people who are in lockstuff. And I
Speaker 1: think we will see the equivalent. They won't call it that,
Speaker 1: the equivalent political officers, and I mean why not, you know,
Speaker 1: at every level, And that is not an exaggeration. That's
Speaker 1: what God souls and nets in political officer when he
Speaker 1: was on the front, fighting for fighting for the Russian people,
Speaker 1: and they decided, then souls and neats it into the
Speaker 1: Gulag because of some letters that the political officer got
Speaker 1: worried about, and that's all. That's all it takes. Is
Speaker 1: actually one of the great reminders in The Hunt for
Speaker 1: the Hunt for Red October. You know, they they kill
Speaker 1: the political officer. Sean Connery kills the political officer in
Speaker 1: the movie at the very beginning, and and everybody's you know,
Speaker 1: like that's we get it, because he's basically he's the
Speaker 1: equivalent of the political hall monitor. And I think that
Speaker 1: we're turning into a society right now where people are
Speaker 1: are increasingly encouraged to snitch on one another, to ruin careers,
Speaker 1: to ruin lives, to ruin reputations based upon constantly shifting
Speaker 1: political goal posts that that the left makes up as
Speaker 1: they go along too. I mean, that's the part of
Speaker 1: this that it's it's clear already no one's actually safe
Speaker 1: from this. And you know, this is why you have
Speaker 1: that guy, you know for the Bachelor who just got
Speaker 1: fired and now he's he's you know what I'm talking
Speaker 1: I never watched the show, but you know whatever his
Speaker 1: name is. Yeah, I mean, first of all, the batchelor
Speaker 1: I've never understood, because understand the concept. You've got a
Speaker 1: guy with twenty women fighting over him and they're all
Speaker 1: talking about they're all talking about they're all talking about soulmates.
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here, I'm like, this is actually not
Speaker 1: if I were a woman. I don't I don't understand that.
Speaker 1: But let's get back to Chris. Chris Harrison, I think
Speaker 1: his name. He's meeting with a like a racial I
Speaker 1: don't know, some kind of racial counselor. That was the
Speaker 1: story today and this this doesn't. Actually, this stuff never
Speaker 1: actually really works, right you. You you bend the knee,
Speaker 1: you beg forgiveness, and you're still destroyed, you're still canceled,
Speaker 1: and now you don't even have your dignity. That's the
Speaker 1: problem exactly. You know, if you're a submissive, you're always
Speaker 1: going to be a submissive. Gina Corrano is more man
Speaker 1: than most men in this society because she just said,
Speaker 1: the hell with you, I'm not going to give in.
Speaker 1: I just don't care. And I think we need a
Speaker 1: lot more of that. You know, these people are class
Speaker 1: journalist buck. You punch them and they fold. Gina Corona
Speaker 1: doesn't need the Maridalorian or whatever the hell that kids
Speaker 1: show is. Uh, she's a talent all on her own,
Speaker 1: and the rest of us need to do the same thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, but the funny thing is they usually
Speaker 1: go for the soft targets like doctor SEUs, right, you know,
Speaker 1: doctor SEUs was a damn communeist, sympathize or I mean
Speaker 1: it was just a hardcore leftist and now they're they're
Speaker 1: trashing him and I just think it's hilarious. But the
Speaker 1: point is they will go for the soft targets. They
Speaker 1: go to they go at other New York Times people
Speaker 1: because they can't fight and the guys can't apologize enough.
Speaker 1: We need to be the rock when somebody comes up
Speaker 1: to you say, here, race is sexy imperialist. Yeah, to
Speaker 1: just kind of lift a middle finger and laugh at him.
Speaker 1: There's some about it. There's a prescription from the film
Speaker 1: from Colonel Kurt uh Go check out his ladies Atownhall
Speaker 1: dot com. Mister Kerchlichtor, always a pleasure to have you on, sir.
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us today. Thanks a lot, you're
Speaker 1: in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to the buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from Buck at buck
Speaker 1: Sexton dot com. Certainly, there's no doubt in anyone's mind
Speaker 1: that that form of President Trump is very, very popular
Speaker 1: among his constituencies, who numbers in the tens of millions
Speaker 1: of people. That would have been an extraordinarily good opportunity
Speaker 1: to get a signal to the people who would clearly
Speaker 1: have listened to him the way they listened to him
Speaker 1: in many other ways. He has a great deal of influence.
Speaker 1: It was just unfortunately a lost opportunity because he could
Speaker 1: have gotten a lot of people who are hesitant about
Speaker 1: getting vaccinated vaccinated. This is why we know Fauci. This
Speaker 1: is number reason number you know, four thousand and three
Speaker 1: hundred and ten for how Fauci is a little hack,
Speaker 1: a little Democrat, and is very clearly doing the bidding
Speaker 1: of one political party. Okay, a little bit of a
Speaker 1: little bit of a history lesson in recent history for
Speaker 1: doctor Faucci. It was in fact, Joe Biden and Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris who in the summer and into the fall of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty were dabbling in anti vax talking points at
Speaker 1: all under the claim that you can't really trust a
Speaker 1: vaccine with Donald Trump as president. Remember that, Oh they
Speaker 1: would play this little game, Oh we'll listen to scientists,
Speaker 1: but can you really trust a vaccine that Donald Trump
Speaker 1: as president was overseeing the development of even though he wasn't.
Speaker 1: He was just providing the logistics and funding and government backstopping.
Speaker 1: It was big farmer companies that were doing the research.
Speaker 1: But I want everyone to remember this, here's Fauci blaming
Speaker 1: Trump for vaccine hesitancy. And I would also note that
Speaker 1: vaccine hesitancy is very high in this country among minorities
Speaker 1: who are generally more likely to be Biden voters than
Speaker 1: they are Trump voters in the aggregate, and yet Fauci
Speaker 1: will take a cheap shot here at Trump. He didn't
Speaker 1: convince his followers to believe in the vaccine. Kamala and Joe,
Speaker 1: and I really think Kamala's name should start to go first.
Speaker 1: We should start to get used to that. It's only
Speaker 1: a matter of time before Kamala takes over. It's only
Speaker 1: a matter of time. But Kamala and Joe, we're the
Speaker 1: ones saying, you can't really trust this. You don't know
Speaker 1: what Trump was willing to do to game this process,
Speaker 1: and I think that they should be held to account
Speaker 1: for that. I know they won't be held to account,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying they should be. I'm saying, what what's
Speaker 1: happened here is wrong that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: are effectively able to get away with this. They were
Speaker 1: the ones that were sowing doubt in the minds of
Speaker 1: their voters. Anything to beat Trump, that was that was
Speaker 1: the mantra, that was the idea. We also have we
Speaker 1: also have here Fauci doing the bidding of the teachers
Speaker 1: unions play clip four. There are several reasons that it's complicated.
Speaker 1: It's just not easy open or shut. There are several issues.
Speaker 1: First of all, you want to make sure that the
Speaker 1: first and most important thing is to guarantee the safety
Speaker 1: and the health of the children, of the teachers and
Speaker 1: other people in the educational program. We've got to make
Speaker 1: sure that the schools have their resources to do the
Speaker 1: kinds of things they need to do, which would be
Speaker 1: making sure they have masks and ppe making sure that
Speaker 1: the ventilation system can be improved to be able to
Speaker 1: diminish the likelihood that they will be spread of infection.
Speaker 1: Ventilation systems improved in schools. I mean, is this little
Speaker 1: tyrant out of his mind? Does he have any understanding
Speaker 1: of how long that would really take and how expensive
Speaker 1: that would be? To think about what he's saying here,
Speaker 1: it's not really safe for schools until they have improved
Speaker 1: ventilation systems. What does that even mean? They're gonna put
Speaker 1: special filters in all the classrooms. I mean, think about this.
Speaker 1: They bring this up like it's, you know, not that
Speaker 1: big a deal. You know, it's something that's doable. It's
Speaker 1: amazing to hear somebody who's who's supposed to be a
Speaker 1: public health official, uh say something that's just so obtuse.
Speaker 1: You've got in this country a few million public school teachers.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got just thousands and thousands and thousands
Speaker 1: of schools all across the country. You're gonna you're gonna
Speaker 1: change the ventilation systems. It's a it's amazing, it really
Speaker 1: is stunning. Um. But he's got to create excuses. That's
Speaker 1: what he knows what he has to do. He understood
Speaker 1: dance who his masters are. Fauci gets it. The teachers
Speaker 1: unions want to strike a bargain here. They want they
Speaker 1: want they want more money, and they want contract adjustments
Speaker 1: which would allow them to have at least some degree
Speaker 1: of teach from home. We all get it. Teachers want
Speaker 1: want that flexibility, and they want it going forward for
Speaker 1: as long as they want to do it. Think about that,
Speaker 1: Think about what you know. You're basically in a position
Speaker 1: where you don't have to actually deal with kids, be
Speaker 1: around them, interact with them. You get to sit at home,
Speaker 1: speak into a computer and get your full pay and benefits,
Speaker 1: no more commuting. You can do it from probably anywhere.
Speaker 1: I guess if you're a teacher, you probably have to
Speaker 1: technically live in the school district. I don't know. How
Speaker 1: that works in different places. But of course they want
Speaker 1: this and this is their opportunity. This is about benefits
Speaker 1: for adults. It's not about safety for kids. Foucci dances
Speaker 1: to the require hired tune every single time. Where's Founci
Speaker 1: on outdoor masking? Somebody should and somebody should really press
Speaker 1: this little tyrant on where is the science that shows
Speaker 1: where's the data? Forget this term science they throw out.
Speaker 1: Where's the data that shows that there is a serious
Speaker 1: risk of transmission of this disease from people being outside?
Speaker 1: Walk around the streets of New York City right now?
Speaker 1: Ninety five percent of the people you see alone on
Speaker 1: the street, outside or massed up, ninety five just walk around.
Speaker 1: I do it every day. I see it. But oh no,
Speaker 1: we're still still supposed to listen to the fouch. Not
Speaker 1: surprising at all. I'm sure for you to hear that
Speaker 1: he doesn't want us to pull back on the code
Speaker 1: measures play six. You know, my strong advice to them, Joe,
Speaker 1: would be to actually continue to implement the public health meshes.
Speaker 1: Now is not the time to pull back. The good
Speaker 1: news is that we have vaccines coming online. You saw
Speaker 1: the curve of the infections per day coming down. But
Speaker 1: over the last seven days or so, we've reached a
Speaker 1: bit of a plateau with a deflection of the curve.
Speaker 1: Isn't going straight down the way it was. That's a
Speaker 1: bad sign. We've seen that before. We've seen that last
Speaker 1: summer when we were trying to so call open up
Speaker 1: the economy and open up the country, when we said
Speaker 1: there were certain guidelines that you should adhere to, and
Speaker 1: as you know, there was variable adherence to those guidelines,
Speaker 1: and then we had that really big surge that we
Speaker 1: don't want to repeat now. I mean, we were going
Speaker 1: in the right direction. Now's the time to keep the
Speaker 1: foot on the accelerator and not pull off because the
Speaker 1: thing that we don't want is yet again another surge.
Speaker 1: So I would advise the people of Texas and Mississippi
Speaker 1: to just abide by the public health measures that we
Speaker 1: talk about all the time, the uniform wearing of mask
Speaker 1: physical distancing, avoiding congregate settings, particularly the indoors, washing your
Speaker 1: hands frequently. We just have to keep doing that because
Speaker 1: we know it works. How do we know it works exactly?
Speaker 1: He didn't know it worked a year ago when he
Speaker 1: told you that masking it was silly. One year ago,
Speaker 1: almost to the day. I think it was March eighth,
Speaker 1: one year ago. Masking for the public is silly now
Speaker 1: it's we know it works. Oh, it works so well
Speaker 1: in this country, hasn't it. We've seen nothing but an
Speaker 1: increase in mask usage over the last twelve months all
Speaker 1: across the country's just been going up and up and
Speaker 1: up and up. And notice it's so convenient. Whenever there's
Speaker 1: a surge, it's because we didn't do what Fauci told us.
Speaker 1: That's why there was a surge. It's not the seasonality
Speaker 1: of the virus. It's not the natural progression of this
Speaker 1: thing through different communities. No, it's you weren't listening enough.
Speaker 1: If you think this guy wants to go back to
Speaker 1: being an obscure bureaucrat who pops up once or twice
Speaker 1: on a morning show to tell people to wash their
Speaker 1: and during flu season, you're not paying attention that much.
Speaker 1: I can tell you this is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and I think
Speaker 1: we have The CDC have been very clear that now
Speaker 1: is not the time to release all restrictions. I do
Speaker 1: think that, as I said in my remarks the next
Speaker 1: month or two is really pivotal in terms of how
Speaker 1: this pandemic goes. As we scale a vaccination, we really
Speaker 1: do need to decrease the amount of virus that is
Speaker 1: circulating as we're trying to vaccimate all of the public.
Speaker 1: I will also note that you know, every individual is
Speaker 1: empowered to do the right thing here regardless of but
Speaker 1: the states decide for personal health, for public health, for
Speaker 1: their health and their loved ones and communities. I would
Speaker 1: still encourage individuals to wear a mask, to socially distance
Speaker 1: and to do the right thing to protect their own health.
Speaker 1: No one has a problem, I want to be very clear.
Speaker 1: No one has a problem with individuals taking actions, making
Speaker 1: making decisions to protect their own health. That's life. That's
Speaker 1: what you should be doing every day, right. It would
Speaker 1: be fun if I would just have four or five
Speaker 1: glasses of mescal, you know, whenever I've had a long day.
Speaker 1: But I realize that there's going to be a cost,
Speaker 1: so I don't do that. We're all making our own
Speaker 1: decisions every day about how to stay healthy. You know,
Speaker 1: it would be even more fun if I could just
Speaker 1: find a lot of cookie dough to eat every night,
Speaker 1: as as a little sweet treat but you know, I
Speaker 1: realized that long term the health benefits of that are
Speaker 1: not good, or that rather the health implications are not good.
Speaker 1: So we're all making decisions for our health all the time.
Speaker 1: That's a very very basic principle. And I have no
Speaker 1: issue at all, and nor should anyone with a person
Speaker 1: who wants to have, you know, tremendous caution in what
Speaker 1: they're willing to do. Who's a person who's who's going
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, look at if you want to
Speaker 1: mask up in your own car, that's fine, just understand
Speaker 1: that that's not something you should expect other people to do,
Speaker 1: and that there's really no basis for it. But if
Speaker 1: it makes you feel better, if it's like a security blanket, fine.
Speaker 1: But you notice that the status authoritarian democrats, they want
Speaker 1: the force of the state telling you what you can
Speaker 1: and can't do here. They don't want that to go away.
Speaker 1: And if you want a perfect example of it, exactly
Speaker 1: the kind of idiocy that is prevalent out there in
Speaker 1: the media. Do you all remember peteau pTau O'Rourke was
Speaker 1: like he was totally going to be the next president.
Speaker 1: He was born for it. And he's like, what has
Speaker 1: he ever done. He's just you know, a doctrinaire liberal
Speaker 1: who watches a lot of MSNBC and kind of like
Speaker 1: talks in this breathe like nineties TV host fashion and yeah,
Speaker 1: but you could listen to bet right. He was back
Speaker 1: baby Beto Austin or is Robert O'Rourke, but let's call
Speaker 1: him Beta because he's like so multicultural here he is.
Speaker 1: On what the GOP is a cult of death? Thirteen,
Speaker 1: I think it appeared to many of us to be
Speaker 1: a cult of personality the Republican Party in the era
Speaker 1: of Trump, and that probably still holds true. It's hard
Speaker 1: to escape the conclusion that it's also a cult of death.
Speaker 1: You have extraordinarily anti democratic elements. I mean, look at
Speaker 1: the insurrection on January sixth, or for any proof. You
Speaker 1: have anti governments elements literally running the government of the
Speaker 1: state of Texas, and it almost I used the phrase
Speaker 1: failed state because I think when you can't guarantee the electricity,
Speaker 1: the heat, the running water, the public welfare and safety,
Speaker 1: you are about there by any classic definition. You have
Speaker 1: folks who are are literally upending civilization as we know
Speaker 1: it and completely indifferent to the sub costs forty four
Speaker 1: thousand deaths alone just in the state of Texas. In
Speaker 1: El Passo, my home county where I am right now,
Speaker 1: there are two hundred and eighty bodies stacked up in
Speaker 1: a warehouse because there are not enough grave diggers and
Speaker 1: not enough graves to be dug to put them in
Speaker 1: the ground. They had to call in the National Guard
Speaker 1: to move the bodies. They had to set up ten
Speaker 1: mobile mores. And that's just in my city right now.
Speaker 1: There's eighty five percent Mexican American. They just don't care,
Speaker 1: and that indifference is killing people in my community and
Speaker 1: throughout the state of Texas. What a what a vicious,
Speaker 1: vile slander from this little moron. We don't care about
Speaker 1: the dead bodies. Really, that's where we're gonna go with Now.
Speaker 1: We've been doing it their way, meaning the Beto Fauci
Speaker 1: lockdown or way, for a year and we've got all
Speaker 1: these dead bodies. We've got five hundred thousand people have
Speaker 1: died of COVID five hundred thousand plus. But now that
Speaker 1: the virus is plummeting, and now that people are starting
Speaker 1: to see the light at the end of the tunnel,
Speaker 1: don't do exactly what they say. When they say it,
Speaker 1: you're killing people and you don't care about it. You're
Speaker 1: a cult of death. You know who the cult of
Speaker 1: death is the psychopaths who think that ripping a baby
Speaker 1: out of a mother's womb and chopping it up into
Speaker 1: little pieces is a right to choose. That's a cult
Speaker 1: of death and it's al central tenant of the Democrat
Speaker 1: Party today. In fact, one of the single clearest ways
Speaker 1: you separate out Democrat from Republican is do you think
Speaker 1: that a baby is not really a baby when it
Speaker 1: is in the womb. It's very straightforward, that's all. That's
Speaker 1: all you have to know, that's all there has to be.
Speaker 1: And you know, if somebody's a Democrat or a Republican
Speaker 1: ninety nine times out of a hundred, really higher than that. Actually, yes,
Speaker 1: the GOP is a cult of death because we want
Speaker 1: to just start living our lives. They can't stop. They
Speaker 1: could not stop this virus. They could not even control
Speaker 1: the virus, even though we did the things that they
Speaker 1: said would achieve that. And now it's our fault. And
Speaker 1: now that we're tired of this, now that we see
Speaker 1: the data, it doesn't work. Beto's whole line here of
Speaker 1: just like, don't don't like give up because look, we're
Speaker 1: gonna save so many laws. We've seen what happens. It's
Speaker 1: not not true. It's not true. The only real way
Speaker 1: to do a lockdown is to have everybody stay at
Speaker 1: home and have full compliance for weeks, if not months
Speaker 1: on end, not having essential workers go and do their
Speaker 1: things by the millions, not having people going to grocery
Speaker 1: stores in big box stores and all they know. And
Speaker 1: that's that's the way lockdown has been done in America.
Speaker 1: It's never really been a lockdown, that's the point. So
Speaker 1: all you do is change the area has changed the
Speaker 1: nodes of transmission, but the transmission kept going. So then
Speaker 1: you say, well, why are you you know, why are
Speaker 1: you shutting down restaurants if one percent of transmissions occurring there,
Speaker 1: but you're not shutting down wherever the other ninety nine
Speaker 1: percent of transmission is happening happening. Right. They never really
Speaker 1: think through these things. They just they like the power.
Speaker 1: They're like the sanctimoniousness, the self righteousness. Oh I'm so great,
Speaker 1: I'm a double Oh here you go. Of course, you
Speaker 1: know who's a double masker? Now, Peto is a double
Speaker 1: masker play twelve. But just because he's surrendered and given
Speaker 1: up to the virus doesn't mean that we have to
Speaker 1: Wearing a mask is still something that we can do.
Speaker 1: Double masking, as a CDC recommends, is even better. Keeping
Speaker 1: six foot distance and then joining efforts like ours. We're
Speaker 1: in seventeen different Texas cities this weekend. Our volunteers will
Speaker 1: be canvassing in the lowest income SIP codes to register
Speaker 1: people for the vaccine, to make sure that they get inoculated,
Speaker 1: and we helped to save more lives in the face
Speaker 1: of this absolute lack of leadership from our governor. You
Speaker 1: know what they should have done, vaccinated people over sixty
Speaker 1: five all across the country right away. That should have
Speaker 1: been the focus. You know what they did, all kinds
Speaker 1: of micromanagement and stupidity. Oh we got twenty five year
Speaker 1: old teachers get vaccinated. It in New York City. I
Speaker 1: know some of them. Oh yeah, because that's really important.
Speaker 1: Just total clowns. The science was very clear on who
Speaker 1: should get vaccinated. It's people who are at high risk.
Speaker 1: But they abused this, you know that they wanted to
Speaker 1: they use this as some kind of a a goody
Speaker 1: to give out to their preferred constituencies, teachers, essential workers,
Speaker 1: whatever that means, you know, yeah, the elderly and healthcare
Speaker 1: workers who have to deal with COVID on the front line.
Speaker 1: That was very clear, but they pretended like it wasn't
Speaker 1: and so there were additional delays. So there were additional slowdowns,
Speaker 1: and people died because of those slowdowns. I think everybody
Speaker 1: should be aware of that, should see what's actually happening here.
Speaker 1: Double mask? Well, did we just figure that out? Are
Speaker 1: we all so dumb that we're not allowed to question that?
Speaker 1: They just figured out double masking, because that's what needs
Speaker 1: to happen, noticed that Fauci, Because people realize they lost
Speaker 1: faith in the mask god. So then Faucci had to
Speaker 1: come up with something else. It's, oh, you know what,
Speaker 1: we need double mask And then it was has everyone
Speaker 1: forgotten that? Doctor ostro Holme, when I played it for
Speaker 1: you here, went on TV and said, double masking's actually
Speaker 1: worse guys in practice theoretically, See, this is the thing
Speaker 1: these people don't understand. Difference in theoretical policy and usage
Speaker 1: and what actually happens theoretically. You know, mandating masks on
Speaker 1: an airplane may reduce the spread of an aerosolized virus
Speaker 1: in some capacity. In reality, if you're sitting next to
Speaker 1: somebody and they're pulling their mask down for fifteen or
Speaker 1: twenty minutes at a time to eat and drink and
Speaker 1: do whatever else they're doing, does it really make a difference.
Speaker 1: Remember the early days when people touching the mask and
Speaker 1: the mask not being clean, and that was all. They
Speaker 1: just they pretend like they didn't say these things. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry they can try to gaslight me, but I know
Speaker 1: when I've been lied to, and Fauci and the morons
Speaker 1: around him have lied to us countless time, countless times.
Speaker 1: They keep changing it, acting like they got it right,
Speaker 1: acting like they knew what they were doing. They're appalling, appalling,
Speaker 1: And now you'll notice there's a little bit of a
Speaker 1: glimpse of freedom, and they got to shut it right
Speaker 1: down right away. You know, there's all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: there's the hope that we're gonna get through this, and
Speaker 1: it's no, how dare you? You're not allowed. You're not
Speaker 1: allowed to start thinking about having your life back, not
Speaker 1: until we say so, not until we say so. Can't
Speaker 1: pull back on the COVID measures. Yeah, I think we
Speaker 1: are doing that in some places. It's gonna be fine,
Speaker 1: as fine as it would be if we kept pretending
Speaker 1: like we're all doing this great job of stopping the virus.
Speaker 1: Clearly we're not, because the things they told us that
Speaker 1: would work don't work the way they said they would.
Speaker 1: This is all about the percentages, it's all about risk.
Speaker 1: It's all about what's true in general or most true
Speaker 1: in general. There's no perfect answer here. We've a banned
Speaker 1: and all that. Our ability to think critically as a
Speaker 1: country has been called into question by this. We failed
Speaker 1: to think critically as a country. I think that much
Speaker 1: can be said with real clarity. You're in the freedom hunt.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get
Speaker 1: the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com. China
Speaker 1: makes COVID nineteen anal SWABS mandatory for foreigners. When I
Speaker 1: first saw this on social media, I thought to myself,
Speaker 1: is this has got to be a joke, right, They're kidding.
Speaker 1: They're not kidding. Reporting here from New York Post, China
Speaker 1: has made anal COVID nineteen SWABS mandatory for all foreign
Speaker 1: travelers arriving in the country. The government has claimed that
Speaker 1: such tests provide a higher degree of accuracy than other
Speaker 1: screening methods. As part of the new travel requirement, they'll
Speaker 1: be testing hubs in Beijia and Shanghai. The outlet reported
Speaker 1: um the anal swabs are quote better because virus traces
Speaker 1: stay in the you know what longer than they do
Speaker 1: in the nose or the throat. The move comes after
Speaker 1: Japan asked China to stop performing the exams on its
Speaker 1: citizens where they enter the country because the swabs cause
Speaker 1: mental mental anguish. Yeah, they do. Some Japanese reported to
Speaker 1: our ever see in China that they received anal swab
Speaker 1: tests which caused a great psychological paid producer Mark, I
Speaker 1: don't think the paid is necessarily just psychological though. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that that sounds physically painful. That doesn't sound like fun.
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is not good. I don't plan.
Speaker 1: But still, but this is this is kind of this
Speaker 1: is kind of the future that we can all, you know, expect,
Speaker 1: we can all assume this kind of thing. Will we'll
Speaker 1: be coming our way because there's no indignity. If you're
Speaker 1: really a lockdown or there's no indignity, you shouldn't be
Speaker 1: willing to endure in order to save lives from the virus. Right,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, why not if the science is
Speaker 1: clear on this, why not have anal swabs for everybody? Right?
Speaker 1: As far as I'm sure somebody should ask Fauci about this,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he would he would be happy to swab
Speaker 1: up everybody. But this is also a reminder that China's
Speaker 1: China's coming out of this thing, and they're they're they're
Speaker 1: gonna be looking to just make all kinds of gains
Speaker 1: on the Biden administration, which might be a shock of
Speaker 1: some people. I mean, I've been asking this question, will
Speaker 1: Biden lead America from behind China? And this is not
Speaker 1: I'm not making any anal swab jokes here. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: we'll Biden lead America from behind China. Remember leading from
Speaker 1: behind the Obama administration. That was the idea. And if
Speaker 1: you've been an avid CNN watcher for the past four years,
Speaker 1: you might wake up in cold sweats at the thought
Speaker 1: of Vladimir Putin overthrowing the US government any in it
Speaker 1: And we all knew it was absurd, and the corporate
Speaker 1: media's magnification of the Kremlin as America's greatest geopolitical foe
Speaker 1: was pure cynical politics. It was entirely justified in journalist minds, though,
Speaker 1: to undermine Trump's twenty sixteen win and use it as
Speaker 1: a cudgel against him during his four years in office. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: in that regard it worked shockingly well. A special Counsel
Speaker 1: investigation and a White House under siege with endless allegations
Speaker 1: about being Putin's puppet, the Russia collusion lie was a
Speaker 1: national media obsession. But as the Great Orange Menace of
Speaker 1: Trump is now passed, at least for the time being,
Speaker 1: our media is waking up to some unpleasant realities of geopolitics.
Speaker 1: In the real world of superpower conflict, Russia is just
Speaker 1: a side show. We all know that, for the talk
Speaker 1: of Putin's machinations, he runs a country with a GDP
Speaker 1: under two trillion dollars and about one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: million inhabitants that struggles to pay its bills when the
Speaker 1: prize of oil drops. China, China, That's what we really
Speaker 1: have to worry about, and this has been true for decades.
Speaker 1: China is by far our biggest competitor economically and militarily
Speaker 1: right GDP almost fifteen trillion, over a billion people, China
Speaker 1: is the only real challenge to US hegemony, and it's
Speaker 1: going to keep Joe Biden's hands very full of the
Speaker 1: foreign policy front. What we've seen so far, the Chinese
Speaker 1: Communist Party is preparing to put out, or put on
Speaker 1: rather a clinic of real politic for this Biden White House.
Speaker 1: Because whatever you think of Trump's foreign policy and the
Speaker 1: no New Wars thing was pretty awesome, he was fundamentally
Speaker 1: correct about China. The Chinese Communist Party was getting away
Speaker 1: with all kinds of illicit and unfair trade practices at
Speaker 1: the expense of American workers and businesses. Despite the conventional
Speaker 1: wisdom about the need for free trade with China. Trump
Speaker 1: was right when he said that wasn't what was actually occurring.
Speaker 1: It was really a one way trade war. And Trump
Speaker 1: decided to fight fire with fire. Okay. China also has
Speaker 1: the advantage of clear purpose. So while America in the
Speaker 1: first months of this Biden administration is determined to tear
Speaker 1: down its own history and go on a cancelation spree
Speaker 1: of doctor Seus's books, China's expanding its influence in many
Speaker 1: of our most powerful institutions. Now it's all up at
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, as foreign policy team to sit across the
Speaker 1: global chessboard, so to speak, from China and outplay our
Speaker 1: greatest rivals since the Soviet Union. It's not going to
Speaker 1: work out very well for US. I have to tell you,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Communist leadership in Beijing sees Biden's
Speaker 1: ascension as an opening. Trump was responsible for awaking America
Speaker 1: from somnambulism about the real costs of China's predations. Biden
Speaker 1: has been famously wrong about every major foreign policy decision
Speaker 1: of the last four decades, and he may well lull
Speaker 1: us back to sleep. Hijinping has many cards to play
Speaker 1: with Biden's administration, and the poll to be anything but
Speaker 1: Trump on policy will be strong enough on its own. China,
Speaker 1: my friends, is ascendant, and Biden is going to be
Speaker 1: a useful idiot to that end. You're listening to the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the

Speaker 1: We have COVID, we have recovery, we have rebuilding, We
Speaker 1: have a teetering New York City, we have a terrible
Speaker 1: financial picture. We have to do vaccines. So no, I'm
Speaker 1: going to do the job the people of the state
Speaker 1: elected me to do. Yes, that's right. Governor Cuomo is
Speaker 1: not going to resign. He will, politically speaking, live to
Speaker 1: fight another day. And this guy is adept at exactly
Speaker 1: what we've seen here. He understands how to manipulate public sentiment,
Speaker 1: he knows how the system works, he knows what he
Speaker 1: has to do to keep his position of power, and
Speaker 1: that's exactly what he's doing now. I keep coming back
Speaker 1: to this. I'm sorry but for me that the media
Speaker 1: digs in so much on allegations of sexual harassment that
Speaker 1: didn't really involve any actual touching, according to Governor Cuomo
Speaker 1: at least, and from all but one of the allegations here.
Speaker 1: I mean, he attempted to kiss I don't know if them,
Speaker 1: and he actually put he actually put hands on one
Speaker 1: of his aids. But he's suggesting he never actually even
Speaker 1: touched anyone, and he never offered a quid pro quo.
Speaker 1: So what he did, while gross and wrong, isn't say
Speaker 1: in the same league as sending thousands of people back
Speaker 1: into nursing homes during a raging pandemic, resulting in what
Speaker 1: could have been hundreds of lives lost. If not more.
Speaker 1: That wasn't enough though, to turn people against Cuomo. And
Speaker 1: one of the reasons for that is that the media
Speaker 1: understands they were all complicit in that part of the story.
Speaker 1: They didn't want the truth to come out about what
Speaker 1: Cuomo did in the nursing homes, and that's why today
Speaker 1: he had to give his maya culpa, not about the
Speaker 1: nursing home situation, but about harassing female subordinates, which I
Speaker 1: will say, particularly among people in the press corps, that
Speaker 1: is a sin that they will not necessarily force him
Speaker 1: to pay the ultimate career price for, but they're at
Speaker 1: least going to make some noise about it now. Because
Speaker 1: Cuomo made it through the period of usefulness he was
Speaker 1: necessary for defeating Donald Trump. There's Leticia James, the New
Speaker 1: York State Attorney General, waiting on stage right or stage
Speaker 1: left or whatever to take over. I think if Cuomo
Speaker 1: were to fall from grace politically even more. But of
Speaker 1: course he's not going to resign. I've never thought he
Speaker 1: was going to resign, And this is just another way
Speaker 1: of understanding that his political instincts, as much as he's
Speaker 1: a thug in a bully, his political instincts are keen.
Speaker 1: And that's how a guy, yes, who has the advantage
Speaker 1: of a last name and a family dynasty behind him,
Speaker 1: but he's been able to go through as many years,
Speaker 1: as many administrations as he has as many terms three now,
Speaker 1: being an enormous bully and a jerk on top of
Speaker 1: it all, but still holding the highest executive office in
Speaker 1: the fourth biggest state in the country. That's a pretty
Speaker 1: remarkable feat when you think about it. But then again,
Speaker 1: you look across to our cousins on the West Coast
Speaker 1: in California and they have none other than Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1: Gruesome Newsom, with his unbelievably slimy antics around lockdowns and
Speaker 1: the way he's been changing the narrative constantly, this guy
Speaker 1: is bad news. And that's why finally the people of
Speaker 1: California have decided they may be willing to recall him,
Speaker 1: but remember that they're not going to repudiate the policies.
Speaker 1: One of the problems or a recall mechanism like what
Speaker 1: they have in California is that everyone then focuses on
Speaker 1: the individual and not on the actions. Newsom is a
Speaker 1: pretty doctrinaire Democrat. He's not outside the mainstream for the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party. He's just a guy who's doing what Nancy
Speaker 1: Pelosi and Chuck Schumer would want him to do. He's
Speaker 1: not some radical. But in California they've finally started to
Speaker 1: see that Democrat policies are awful. And so what do
Speaker 1: they do? They say, Well, it's not that the policies
Speaker 1: are bad, really, it's that the guy, in this case,
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, implementing them is a problem. And here in
Speaker 1: New York, Governor Cuomo instead of saying, you know what,
Speaker 1: there could be somebody else, somebody better to come along
Speaker 1: to implement this, it's I'm necessary. Now. It's all about me.
Speaker 1: I have to do this job. Don't you see? Without me,
Speaker 1: the people of New York will be lost. This guy
Speaker 1: really does have some kind of savior complex tied in
Speaker 1: with his tyrannical impulses. He was never going to resign.
Speaker 1: You'd have to drag Cuomo out of that office kicking
Speaker 1: and screaming, and he'd be yelling, you know, I control
Speaker 1: to stay troopers the whole time. That's what he'd be saying,
Speaker 1: how dare you remove me from office? Stunning that this
Speaker 1: is the best we can do in New York state politics,
Speaker 1: it's kind of disheartening, really, but at least there's some
Speaker 1: degree of truth coming out now. I think there's a
Speaker 1: lot more, and I think we'll actually be hearing more
Speaker 1: of the weeks ahead. That's also a possibility. But I'm
Speaker 1: still shocked at the nursing home scandal. Isn't that isn't
Speaker 1: what may be doomed Cuomo's political career, And it's not doomed.
Speaker 1: He's gonna stay in office, and he may well run
Speaker 1: again and he might win, and what does that say
Speaker 1: about our politics? But then again, you look at Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: Here's a guy who was a loser time and time again,
Speaker 1: and Democrats even recknize that he was a loser. And then,
Speaker 1: because they had an opportunity to present the Democrat Party
Speaker 1: as something other than what it really is, and that
Speaker 1: would work in a COVID pandemic election year against Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: they just dusted off good old blue collar Joe and
Speaker 1: made it happen. With Governor Cuomo. There's a similar transaction
Speaker 1: feeling all of this. He's paid off all the special
Speaker 1: interest groups he needs to. He makes sure that the teachers'
Speaker 1: unions are on his side. He makes sure that the
Speaker 1: apparatus of the Democratic Party is with them, and that's
Speaker 1: all that it really takes. Doesn't have to be competent,
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be good at the job. He's just
Speaker 1: got to be a one man patronage system for the
Speaker 1: incredibly corrupt machine politics of Albany, which, as we know,
Speaker 1: was supposed to get a little special investigation the Moreland Commission,
Speaker 1: and Cuomo set it up because so many people realize
Speaker 1: what was going on in New York, and then he
Speaker 1: just shut it down. Why did he shut it down? Well,
Speaker 1: I remember speaking to somebody who was close to Cuomo
Speaker 1: during that period and was a very a very skilled lawyer,
Speaker 1: brilliant attorney, who told me that, yeah, it's because Cuomo
Speaker 1: realized that once an investigation like that gets enough teeth
Speaker 1: and gets going, it could actually find out stuff you
Speaker 1: don't want it to, and then you've got a problem.
Speaker 1: He liked the optics of it, he didn't like the
Speaker 1: reality of it, so we just shut it down. But
Speaker 1: as long as he makes sure that New York is
Speaker 1: supportive of abortion on of all nine months on of
Speaker 1: a pregnancy, and that the woke left is mollified in
Speaker 1: whatever possible ways, and the Democrat machinery keeps on running
Speaker 1: as is, with the patronage system and the payoffs and
Speaker 1: the welfare and all the rest of it. As long
Speaker 1: as that keeps going, he figures he can stay in
Speaker 1: power and act like the jerk that he is. But
Speaker 1: keep in mind, he wants you to feel a tremendous
Speaker 1: amount of sympathy for him. That certainly came across today
Speaker 1: during the press conference. I feel awful about it, and frankly,
Speaker 1: I am embarrassed by it, And that's not easy to say,
Speaker 1: but that's the truth. Is it the truth? Do you
Speaker 1: believe it? Do you think that he's somebody who's saddened
Speaker 1: and upset because he realizes that he was transgressing, that
Speaker 1: he was crossing a line, or do you think that
Speaker 1: this is just a talented performance from a guy who did,
Speaker 1: in fact, just get an emmy last summer. As you remember,
Speaker 1: for his press conferences day in and day out about
Speaker 1: the COVID pandemic. The media elevated him when it was
Speaker 1: useful for them, and now they turn on him when
Speaker 1: he no longer matters quite the same way. But they
Speaker 1: don't turn on him all the way. Notice how they're
Speaker 1: not going to continue to push on this story. Now
Speaker 1: that he's apologized, now that he's come forward in this way,
Speaker 1: they'll say that that's enough. He's paid his debt, so
Speaker 1: to speak. He's done his pen and now he can
Speaker 1: go back to being the died in the world Democrat
Speaker 1: that we know. He is delivering for the left, for
Speaker 1: progressives and continuing to run New York State into the ground,
Speaker 1: which is what has been happening, not just over the
Speaker 1: last year, well before that, but certainly over the last year.
Speaker 1: That's why people are fleeing in larger and larger numbers.
Speaker 1: It's because Governor Cuomo is bad at his job, but
Speaker 1: he wants you to feel sorry for him. You know,
Speaker 1: I do give people second chances. I'm somebody who really
Speaker 1: believes in forgiveness and mercy and all that. But Auomo
Speaker 1: such a bully. It's really hard to think that this
Speaker 1: guy means a single word of it. I'm not buying it.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, I'm not buying the Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry. I never meant to. I don't believe it.
Speaker 1: This is The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram,
Speaker 1: and Twitter. Let's get a view from inside the Beltway
Speaker 1: right now, as the swamp grows gets murkier and muddier,
Speaker 1: wedder and just bad all around. Our friend Harlan Hale,
Speaker 1: he is a principal at the Logan Circle Group as
Speaker 1: a political consultant, buddy of mine down in DC. Harlan,
Speaker 1: how are you doing, man? Great, it's good to be
Speaker 1: with you. But I am now a DC refugee in
Speaker 1: Florida for the time being. Oh that's right, You've become
Speaker 1: another another one of those, another one of those guys
Speaker 1: who's decided they're fleeing the Blue state tyranny for the
Speaker 1: Sunshine State. Oh that's join us at some point. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, man, these days, the siren call
Speaker 1: of Florida is getting louder all the time for people,
Speaker 1: especially up in the in the Tri state area. So
Speaker 1: I want to ask, what are you what are you
Speaker 1: seeing right now with this uh, with this COVID relief
Speaker 1: bill that's out there with the Democrats are trying to accomplish,
Speaker 1: because to me, this is it's just all reminiscent of
Speaker 1: the Obama administration, where it's we're gonna do what we
Speaker 1: want to do as Democrats. We don't care what it
Speaker 1: does to the economy. Really, as long as our special
Speaker 1: interests get paid off, as long as our identity politics
Speaker 1: groups feel like they're getting something out of this, that's it. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's exactly right. I mean, the
Speaker 1: Biden administration came into power with all these lofty promises
Speaker 1: of unity and bringing the party together and working with Republicans,
Speaker 1: and now what we're seeing is that they're going to
Speaker 1: castle of that unity aside and try to ram something
Speaker 1: through without respect to the Republican colleagues and the tens
Speaker 1: of millions of Republican voters that came out in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: And I think that's to their peril and to our benefit.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling this is going to play into
Speaker 1: the mid terms. I mean, you're a guy for everybody
Speaker 1: listening who works on campaigns, I mean, actually gets gets
Speaker 1: paid to help Republicans win elected office. Right, You're actually
Speaker 1: doing doing that job day in and day out. Are
Speaker 1: you feeling like Republican opposition to this COVID relief bill
Speaker 1: could trans late into a red way. I know it's
Speaker 1: a ways out, but this stuff moves fast. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: seeing two things play out. One yes to answer your question,
Speaker 1: I do think that this plays right into our hands,
Speaker 1: and then there's growing sentiment against you know, these continued shutdowns,
Speaker 1: to the draconian measures coming out of the Blue states
Speaker 1: and of Washington itself. But I have to add another
Speaker 1: rankle to that, which I think is incredibly important coming
Speaker 1: out of Seapack, which is that I'm seeing a lot
Speaker 1: of very mature and developed primary challenges of incumbent Republicans,
Speaker 1: whether it's at the federal level or at the state level,
Speaker 1: to remove Republicans that primary voters considered to be inadequately conservative.
Speaker 1: You know, one of those people is someone like Mike DeWine,
Speaker 1: the current governor of Ohio. This is a guy that
Speaker 1: instituted curfews and you know, basically a liberal state policy
Speaker 1: of used to be shutdowns and response to covid um
Speaker 1: he adopted, and you know, he's a Republican. So I
Speaker 1: think what we're gonna see happen in the midterms is
Speaker 1: not just a wave in the general um, a backlash
Speaker 1: against a lot of this um, but also a backlash
Speaker 1: against Republicans that have counted out to the to the
Speaker 1: liberal orthodoxy and the media's line on on how to
Speaker 1: handle these shutdowns and COVID So, uh, you know, this
Speaker 1: is something that we're gonna start seeing play out in
Speaker 1: the next really year. So you're seeing this. People talk
Speaker 1: about Republican unity, but you're you're feeling like it's gonna
Speaker 1: be unity that is in part achieved through uh, getting
Speaker 1: rid of some of the dead weight with with primaries
Speaker 1: that go after people who are milktoast romney eyed Conservatives
Speaker 1: or Republicans. Is that right? Oh, no question. I mean
Speaker 1: that's playing out now. I mean, you know, and part
Speaker 1: of that is, uh, President Trump laid out in his
Speaker 1: Seapack speech a long list of Republican congressmen and women
Speaker 1: that he was going to support primary challenges against on
Speaker 1: the grounds and impeachment. But the list is going to
Speaker 1: grow far beyond those who were disloyal to Trump on
Speaker 1: impeachment and will will include, you know, candidates that are
Speaker 1: insufficiently conservative. Uh. You know, we're looking at Liz Cheney.
Speaker 1: I mean, she's got a real problem. I actually firmly
Speaker 1: believe that, Um, that the center that came down from
Speaker 1: the state Party in Wyoming was decisive. Somebody like Anthony
Speaker 1: Gonzalez in Ohio sixteen. That guy's gonna get rocked. President
Speaker 1: Trump's already already endorsed his challenger, Max Miller. Um, that's
Speaker 1: a that's a sure thing. I mean, I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised if if President Trump performs a perfect sweep on
Speaker 1: all those primary challenges. Um, they're all extremely vulnerable. Uh.
Speaker 1: Catalinaluf is another one. I think she's got a good
Speaker 1: chance amount of really in credible race. She's hiring a
Speaker 1: lot of really good consultants this go around. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm feeling I'm feeling good. I mean, the problem with
Speaker 1: the Magan movement in primary uh, disloyal conservatives when Trump
Speaker 1: was in office was that it was always sort of
Speaker 1: half baked. You know, they were hiring in some cases
Speaker 1: not the best staff, or the staff wasn't as mature.
Speaker 1: They didn't they didn't know, you know, how to run
Speaker 1: these campaigns. Now we have a much much much more
Speaker 1: mature movement. Um and uh and and and then we
Speaker 1: also have the benefit of the fact that the president
Speaker 1: is out of office able to go and raise a
Speaker 1: lot of money and mobilize millions of voters using the
Speaker 1: data and the infrastructure that he built in the in
Speaker 1: the campaign in twenty twenty, which is unprecedented on the
Speaker 1: Republican side. We're speaking to principle of Logan Circle group,
Speaker 1: but he's down in Florida, not in Logan Circle anymore.
Speaker 1: Our friend, our friend, Harlan Hill, he's a political consultant.
Speaker 1: And Harland you know you were you were at Seapack.
Speaker 1: I was at seapack. The president, uh, you know, brought
Speaker 1: the house down, so to speak, on Sunday. And I
Speaker 1: just I have this concern and I know some people
Speaker 1: they don't want to hear negativity about about Trump running again.
Speaker 1: And I'm not negative about him running again. I want
Speaker 1: to make sure that if he runs again for president,
Speaker 1: he's got the right people around him, the right infrastructure,
Speaker 1: pushing the right ideas. I worry that what we're gonna
Speaker 1: get pushed into is he's the only option. And the
Speaker 1: people that were around him that failed in this last
Speaker 1: election it was a failure, they did not win, will
Speaker 1: be the same people. What are you confident that. I
Speaker 1: know we're at the early stages here, but it will
Speaker 1: matter for the midterms. Then it matters, quite honestly, just
Speaker 1: for the Republican Party now day to day is Trump
Speaker 1: you know? Is he is? He? Finally going to have
Speaker 1: the best people. You know, he promised to have the
Speaker 1: best people and that wasn't true. Is he gonna have
Speaker 1: some of the best people now? Well, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure whether President Trump is going to run for
Speaker 1: reelection again or not, but I do know that he
Speaker 1: is the de facto leader of the party at this point.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a tremendous power vacuum on our side.
Speaker 1: I mean, just in that month where he was relatively
Speaker 1: quiet up until the Sea Pack speech, you know, there
Speaker 1: was there was very little direction within the party. No
Speaker 1: one stepped up to fill that, to to fill that vacuum. UM.
Speaker 1: And it seems now that he's going to do that,
Speaker 1: and I think that's probably the role that he plays. UM.
Speaker 1: He needs to continue to raise money to support these
Speaker 1: uh primary challenges around the country, to put in loyalists,
Speaker 1: to build out the infrastructure that can support whoever the
Speaker 1: individual candidate is, whether that's President Trump or or or
Speaker 1: someone else. But he has a great opportunity to be
Speaker 1: the kingmaker and the party, UM, and to bring the
Speaker 1: party together. There's got to be some call. We got
Speaker 1: to call to hurt a little bit. You know, there
Speaker 1: are a lot of people that that that predate Trump,
Speaker 1: that pre date this, this alignment within the party, um
Speaker 1: that don't really get it. They're not they're not responsive
Speaker 1: to uh, their voters, and h you know that there's
Speaker 1: got there's gotta be some change in Washington, and I
Speaker 1: think he's going through that. I am confident that, you know,
Speaker 1: he's not necessarily I don't see him building out a
Speaker 1: presidential campaign right now. I think that if he were
Speaker 1: to do that, he would announce it relatively soon. People
Speaker 1: forget that the President announced his reelection campaign on an
Speaker 1: inauguration day in twenty seventeen. He wasted no time. And
Speaker 1: I think that if he were confident in his interest
Speaker 1: in running for president again, that um, you know, he
Speaker 1: would already start. Based on history, I think he would
Speaker 1: already start that process now. Carlin Hill, everybody pulled up
Speaker 1: a consultant guy who actually knows how the sausage gets
Speaker 1: made in politics. Harlan, Thanks so much, buddy. I always
Speaker 1: appreciate talking to you. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

Speaker 1: And with that, and with that, we have Producer Mark
Speaker 1: kicking us off here with oh so oh so much stuff.
Speaker 1: Producer Mark, You've got all You've got, all the things
Speaker 1: happening for us, and we appreciate it. I want to
Speaker 1: be very clear, especially when I'm stalling because I lost
Speaker 1: the note there it is okay, here we go. Rachel, Hello,
Speaker 1: I was hoping you could pass along some legitimate, unbiased
Speaker 1: sources of information on data and data on any or
Speaker 1: all the vaccines. You've become the only person I agree
Speaker 1: with one percent of the time, and I'm honestly torn.
Speaker 1: I just want the facts because I have no desire
Speaker 1: to get it right now. The vaccine. I could go
Speaker 1: on forever about how You've helped me the past few months,
Speaker 1: but I'll just keep it simple. Thanks for speaking truth
Speaker 1: and keeping me company while I get ready for work
Speaker 1: and on my commute. Even my boys three years and
Speaker 1: ten months now ride in silence and seem to be
Speaker 1: soothed by your voice. But maybe they're learning something. I
Speaker 1: share your name every chance I get. I only wish
Speaker 1: you had time to listen to every minute of every show.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being awesome. I know you're a busy man,
Speaker 1: but i'd appreciate some valid vaccine info shields high Rachel,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. That's very kind and I really
Speaker 1: appreciate it. If you've got some. You've got a couple
Speaker 1: of young boys there. If they liked it the vocal
Speaker 1: sounds of Team Buck, that's great. It makes me very happy.
Speaker 1: And let's get into the vaccines now. I will tell
Speaker 1: you I have not been some I've not been deep
Speaker 1: diving into the vaccine data masks, lockdowns. Yes, I read
Speaker 1: about it all the time. I'm constantly compiling information on it,
Speaker 1: but I have not been going deep on the vaccine stuff.
Speaker 1: I can tell you this that both of my parents
Speaker 1: have gotten the vaccine and one of the vaccines and
Speaker 1: they had basically no side effects and we're fine. And
Speaker 1: they're both at the age where you know it's you're
Speaker 1: in higher risk category. So I would not let my
Speaker 1: own parents. I would have you know, I would lay
Speaker 1: down in front of a train before I let my
Speaker 1: parents do anything that I thought was risky or dangerous
Speaker 1: to their health. So that that's the best I can
Speaker 1: tell you about how I feel about it, is that
Speaker 1: my parents both got vaccinated, and I am likely to
Speaker 1: get vaccinated too when the time comes, because then I
Speaker 1: really want to just hold the line against the insanity
Speaker 1: of continued lockdown and mitigation and all this other crap.
Speaker 1: So that's how I feel about it. As for the
Speaker 1: safety data and all the rest of it. You know,
Speaker 1: Alex Berenson, I really appreciate the work that he's done
Speaker 1: during the pandemic to say things and share things that
Speaker 1: have He's an immense pressure rate against him, but he
Speaker 1: has been willing to stand up and say, hold on
Speaker 1: a second, what people are being told or this aspect
Speaker 1: of it's just not true. So he's also been doing
Speaker 1: a lot of work on COVID vaccines. You can follow
Speaker 1: him on Twitter, for example, and see what he's posting
Speaker 1: about vaccines. From what I've seen, it's it's very clear
Speaker 1: the vaccines for the average person, this is the CDC
Speaker 1: published state of the average person in the vaccines are
Speaker 1: both highly effective and highly safe. The questions that seem
Speaker 1: to be out there have to do that the biggest
Speaker 1: question that I've seen, and I don't have an answer
Speaker 1: to it, and I don't really have a strong opinion
Speaker 1: on it because I just don't know. See, I tell
Speaker 1: you when I don't know something, unlike a lot of
Speaker 1: other people who like to pretend they know everything, I
Speaker 1: tell you when I don't know something. But it's whether
Speaker 1: the vaccine can be an additional risk factor for pregnant
Speaker 1: women to miscarry, I think is where there has been
Speaker 1: some question out there, and I don't know. Alex Barrenson
Speaker 1: has done more research into that than I have, so
Speaker 1: you can see what he says on it. But it's
Speaker 1: very hard right now to get honest stuff about the
Speaker 1: about the vaccines. It's very difficult because if you if
Speaker 1: you question any aspect of it, they will quickly put
Speaker 1: you in the anti vax category, even if you're not
Speaker 1: an anti vaxer. So and these especially the fires are
Speaker 1: and moderno vaccines. These are these MMA m R n
Speaker 1: A vaccines. This is a very new technology, and from
Speaker 1: what I understand, there are not a whole lot of
Speaker 1: folks who really understand it all that well, even in
Speaker 1: the medical community. So I think asking questions is completely
Speaker 1: completely legitimate, and we should always ask questions about things
Speaker 1: like this. I'm sorry, Rachel, I don't have more in
Speaker 1: depth information for you on it, but I will continue
Speaker 1: to look at it. But I've as I've said, my
Speaker 1: parents got vaccinated it. They have had no ill effects
Speaker 1: from from it so far, and from what I've read
Speaker 1: and from all the experts that I've talked to, including
Speaker 1: some who are very skeptical of masks as a highly
Speaker 1: effective mitigation measure, I know some mds who feel that way,
Speaker 1: but they won't say so publicly because they don't want,
Speaker 1: you know, Holly hell to fall down upon them. But
Speaker 1: they say, no, no, no, the vaccines are safe. I would,
Speaker 1: I'm getting it, and I would get my family to
Speaker 1: get it too. So I'm just telling you that's what
Speaker 1: That's what I've been told about it, Riannon, I really
Speaker 1: enjoy listening to you trying to talk sports. Tell producer
Speaker 1: Mark he needs to teach you football. Well, thanks, Rhiannon.
Speaker 1: I like when they take the stick and they hit
Speaker 1: the puck into the goal post, making sure that they
Speaker 1: have the proper I can't I can't even think of
Speaker 1: all the sports terminology I have to throw in here.
Speaker 1: I don't think no, I know, but yeah, look, I
Speaker 1: used to watch sports. I gotta tell you. I'm just
Speaker 1: I don't know. I got so little time for anything
Speaker 1: other than my work these days, it's very hard for
Speaker 1: me to focus in on any kind of sports stuff.
Speaker 1: But Producer Mark loves the sports, so you've always got
Speaker 1: a voice in the sports world year on this show
Speaker 1: talking about the things they're going on. Although I did
Speaker 1: see because it was big news for a while, the
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods flipped his car. I know it's not really
Speaker 1: a sports story, but he's one of the great sports
Speaker 1: figures of our lifetime. Tiger Woods flipped his car number
Speaker 1: of times. He's in bad shape, right, Producer Mark, he
Speaker 1: got messed up. Yeah. The latest report I see is
Speaker 1: that he will walk again, but they're really not sure
Speaker 1: if he'll ever be able to play golf again. And
Speaker 1: I actually just watched they did a documentary on him
Speaker 1: on HBO a couple weeks ago, maybe a month ago,
Speaker 1: me and my wife watch it, and then this happened.
Speaker 1: So it was really interesting. He's had a lot of
Speaker 1: I'm not a golf guy. I really don't like the sport,
Speaker 1: but watching that document Menory showed me how dominant, how
Speaker 1: great he was, and to see him take obviously the
Speaker 1: scandals and everything, and now this when he was finally
Speaker 1: coming back, he was finally getting back to form. It's
Speaker 1: just it's a terrible story to see him. You know,
Speaker 1: the best ever, one of the best athletes of all time.
Speaker 1: Is he's pretty much the undisputed best golfer of all time?
Speaker 1: Or is that Jack Nicholas? M I think. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert on this, but I believe numbers wise,
Speaker 1: he's a couple of masters behind Nicholas, But everyone said
Speaker 1: he's a golf experts would say Tiger's the best of
Speaker 1: all time. Yeah, it's remarkable. I've I don't understand the
Speaker 1: appeal of golf at all, but I will tell you this.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people listening is probably love golf,
Speaker 1: and I avoid playing it because I don't want to
Speaker 1: devote that much time to it. And I know I
Speaker 1: feel like if it clicks in my mind, it will
Speaker 1: become a thing that I really really want to do
Speaker 1: a lot. And it's time consuming and expensive, and I'll
Speaker 1: do it more later in life perhaps, but for right now,
Speaker 1: I got too much that I got to focus on that.
Speaker 1: That's spending. I mean, playing eighteen holes of golf. I
Speaker 1: think it takes three or four hours, right, It's a
Speaker 1: long thing. Yeah, I just I said when I if
Speaker 1: I ever moved Florida, I might have to pick up golf.
Speaker 1: Whose golf course is everywhere? Have you ever played? I've
Speaker 1: played once, I was very bad. I've tried. I've tried
Speaker 1: a little bit, and you know, I sort of take
Speaker 1: the Happy Gilmore approach to golf, where I just want
Speaker 1: to take the big stick and hit it as hard
Speaker 1: as I can, and it turns out there's a tremendous
Speaker 1: amount of focus and precision and all this sort of
Speaker 1: stuff that goes into it, and I just want to
Speaker 1: sort of I sort of just want to club that
Speaker 1: golf ball like a baby seal, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I just I just want to knock it out, you know. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I'm just kidding. I love baby seals. People don't
Speaker 1: freak out. You know, I love animals. God, I knew
Speaker 1: you wouldn't actually club a baby sealing. Yeah never, I know,
Speaker 1: But you know I don't want the peta people out there.
Speaker 1: I love baby edible. I want a pet seal, Okay,
Speaker 1: and people think I'm weird. I really do want to.
Speaker 1: What I've realized is I have to start one of
Speaker 1: these animal rescue organizations because the huge benefit of that
Speaker 1: is it then you know, anytime a Bobcat gets gets
Speaker 1: hit by a prius somewhere and is kind of limping around,
Speaker 1: Now I got a pet bobcat, and I nurse it
Speaker 1: back to health. You see. You just want to live
Speaker 1: on like a wildlife reserve. Yeah exactly, But I don't
Speaker 1: want it to have to I don't want it to
Speaker 1: have to be in some foreign country where they have
Speaker 1: bad internet. You know, I'll do it here in America.
Speaker 1: Just buy a bunch of land in Florida. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you're allowed to do that there. Yeah. You know. Actually,
Speaker 1: Florida has very permissive wildlife rules, which is one of
Speaker 1: the reasons why that guy Doc whatever his name is
Speaker 1: from the Tiger King series was down in Florida. I
Speaker 1: forget his name, name was Doc something or other. I
Speaker 1: feel like Florida has become the place in America that
Speaker 1: you can basically do anything. It's the new Vegas. Sounds
Speaker 1: sounds like Heaven to me. Sounds like Heaven to me.
Speaker 1: So and you know, our our audience in Tampa on WFLA,
Speaker 1: and our audience in Miami and the whole Miami Southeastern
Speaker 1: Corridor on w IOD very robust as we've been added
Speaker 1: to those stations. So folks realize that we love we
Speaker 1: love producer Mark and Buck, love them some Florida big fans,
Speaker 1: big fans. Let's see here, Scott hey Buck. Oh no, wait,
Speaker 1: we got I got Scott'll come back to you. We
Speaker 1: got Terry first. If people want to be offended, they
Speaker 1: can find fault or examples everywhere. This whole thing about
Speaker 1: the symbols found at SEPAK reminded me of when I
Speaker 1: was working at a boarding school in Maine and we
Speaker 1: hosted a soccer tournament. I drove some of the players
Speaker 1: from posing schools and one teenager spotted a stuffed black
Speaker 1: bear on a business's roof. One of the students was
Speaker 1: shocked and called it racist. He was dumbfounded. When I
Speaker 1: informed him the University of Maine mascot was the black bear,
Speaker 1: which is native to New England. Silence for the rest
Speaker 1: of the ride. Well, that's quite a that's quite a story. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, people can find racism everywhere. If you
Speaker 1: go and you read the report from the New York Times.
Speaker 1: I read some excerpts of it. I didn't read the
Speaker 1: whole thing. It's very long report about their science reporter
Speaker 1: who got fired for you know, allegedly, you know, using
Speaker 1: a racial slur in the text of asking whether somebody
Speaker 1: else had used the racial slur. You go back and
Speaker 1: read the report and they also accused him. These students
Speaker 1: who are from sixty thousand dollars a year boarding schools
Speaker 1: in the Northeast. For the most part, this is one
Speaker 1: of these trips that that is set up and places
Speaker 1: like The New York Times, you know, they create these
Speaker 1: things because it's basically a cash grab for them, because
Speaker 1: people pay all this money to have a New York
Speaker 1: Times journalist leads some trip for eighteen year olds to uh,
Speaker 1: you know, an ecosustainable village or something in Peru, and
Speaker 1: then they put that on their on their college applications,
Speaker 1: you know, so maybe they're seventeen. I guess some of
Speaker 1: them are eighteen. Their college applications for the following year.
Speaker 1: You know, that's what this is. It's one of these
Speaker 1: these resume padding things that rich kids do. And anyway,
Speaker 1: the rich kids on the trip, I believe none of
Speaker 1: the kids were black on the trip, so just start
Speaker 1: with that. But they were the ones that brought the
Speaker 1: complaint against this New York Times reporter who just got fired.
Speaker 1: But they also accused him of, oh gosh, I gotta
Speaker 1: I gotta go back and check. And they accused him
Speaker 1: of absurd things. You know. They accused him of of
Speaker 1: like demeaning someone's hometown. That was one of the complaints
Speaker 1: that they raised because he made some comment like, oh, Boston,
Speaker 1: that's a great town, you know, shame about your sports
Speaker 1: teams though, or something, and they raised that as a complaint.
Speaker 1: I mean, the people on this trip, these kids are
Speaker 1: Remember we used to use the term snowflake all the
Speaker 1: time for very very easily wounded and offended liberals. You know,
Speaker 1: people who are just oh, they're always in a panic
Speaker 1: that that maybe we should bring that turn back or
Speaker 1: we need another one. Because that's what was going on.
Speaker 1: Here and this guy lost his job. He's been any
Speaker 1: any begged forgiveness and they didn't give it to him.
Speaker 1: So people guess people can find defense anywhere they want to,
Speaker 1: and claiming victims status is actually a power play. I
Speaker 1: always remember that you're listening to the Buck Sexton Choke podcast.
Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart
Speaker 1: Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, finishing
Speaker 1: up the show today with more roll Call, Facebook dot com,

Speaker 1: or Jesse Kelly joint on Friday. And we tried Rob

Speaker 1: I got all kinds of folks will be joining on
Speaker 1: Instagram Live, so please do check it out. And let's
Speaker 1: get back into roll Call. Scott, Hey, Buck, I was
Speaker 1: glad to hear you say on Tuesday's show that Trump
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty can't succeed in twenty twenty four. I
Speaker 1: supported him twice because he was the most conservative option,
Speaker 1: but he showed he is not a conservative. He never
Speaker 1: mentioned or acted in any way to promote limited government.
Speaker 1: He cannot discuss conservative principles coherently, as shown in the debates.
Speaker 1: Trump's best go to is greatest or biggest, and that
Speaker 1: can't cut it. He needs to actually know something or
Speaker 1: stay out of the race if he wants any chance
Speaker 1: of winning in twenty twenty four, needs to spend eighteen
Speaker 1: months learning our principles and then he can contribute positively
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty two elections. Well, Scott, I think,
Speaker 1: first of all, I appreciate you writing in and that
Speaker 1: you're you're sharing a perspective that I some of the
Speaker 1: audience will share with you. Most of them probably will
Speaker 1: disagree with you on a lot of that because people
Speaker 1: view Trump as as um. It wasn't about his conservative philosophy.
Speaker 1: It was about his ability to fight the other side
Speaker 1: and to stand up against the madness of the woke
Speaker 1: left and on that he did never bend the knee,
Speaker 1: and that's that's part of him that I find very compelling.
Speaker 1: But you're when you say that I say that Trump
Speaker 1: can't succeed in twenty twenty Yeah, I think that unless
Speaker 1: their lessons learned, and unless he has a change in personnel.
Speaker 1: You know, you see what happened in this election. There
Speaker 1: were there were some shortcomings, and the people around Trump
Speaker 1: know that, and we'll start to talk about that. But
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's not a it's not a revenue
Speaker 1: in dancing move as a conservative, as a Republican, in
Speaker 1: media or in politics, to speak honestly about what happened
Speaker 1: in the last election, you know, the good, the bad,
Speaker 1: and the ugly. And that needs to change because we
Speaker 1: lost this last election in part because yes, all the
Speaker 1: election law changes and everything had happened, but it was
Speaker 1: happening and the Trump campaign wasn't doing anything about it
Speaker 1: and had months and months of that going on. So
Speaker 1: there are things we need to be very honest about.
Speaker 1: And I know that that's not always fun to hear
Speaker 1: as somebody who wants to see Trump succeed, and I
Speaker 1: do want to see Trump succeed if he runs again.
Speaker 1: I'm also not convinced he's going to run again. I
Speaker 1: think he's going to be important the Republican Party, but
Speaker 1: I think that he's going to put forward someone else,
Speaker 1: probably from the Trump family, as his heir. Apparent. That's
Speaker 1: my belief right now. That could change, but that's what
Speaker 1: I see happening. That's gonna be the show for today. Everybody.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you being here. Please pass the buck. Tell
Speaker 1: somebody to go to bucksxen dot com, listen to bucksx
Speaker 1: and podcast. She'll tie
