Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Shoe podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Team. Welcome to the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. Monday, August, first edition of the program. We
Speaker 1: have Will Pelosi go to Taiwan and what will the
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party do in response? Plus Biden tests positive
Speaker 1: for a COVID again, four shots, dozens of packs loved pills,
Speaker 1: not enough to stop him from a second positive test.
Speaker 1: What does that tell us about all of this? And
Speaker 1: then Joe Mansion, why did he do what he did
Speaker 1: and what will it do to you? Here's a hint.
Speaker 1: Tax and spend and the Green new do nothing good,
Speaker 1: nothing that anybody should be looking forward to, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Have you ever wanted to invest in real estate though,
Speaker 1: and you didn't want to start on your own because
Speaker 1: you didn't know how, and you didn't want to make
Speaker 1: big mistakes. Done for you real estate. I'm at the
Speaker 1: Founders years ago, and in that meeting we talked about
Speaker 1: maybe teaming up so I could tell people done for
Speaker 1: your real estate. The truth is I also said to them, guys,
Speaker 1: I want to be a client right away, because I
Speaker 1: love what you're doing. It makes sense to me, and
Speaker 1: I want to be a real estate investor. Fast forward.
Speaker 1: Now I own multiple properties in my portfolio that I
Speaker 1: bought using Done for your real Estate. They're my advisors.
Speaker 1: They took me through every step of the process, and
Speaker 1: now I understand real estate investing. Go to done for
Speaker 1: you buck dot com to see how this works. They'll
Speaker 1: take you through every step of the process, from picking
Speaker 1: the city, the house, getting the loan, getting a tenant
Speaker 1: in place, and a management company to handle the whole
Speaker 1: thing for you, and then you get that free cash
Speaker 1: flow coming to you every month. Go to done for
Speaker 1: You buck dot com to see how this process works
Speaker 1: and to become a real estate investor just like me.
Speaker 1: Done for you Buck dot com. So here's the thing
Speaker 1: about Nancy Pelosi going to Taiwan. Now, she's created a
Speaker 1: situation where, you know, she's speaker of the house. We
Speaker 1: may not like that, and I think we don't like it,
Speaker 1: but she is speaker of the house, and she is
Speaker 1: an American and a powerful one. And for her to
Speaker 1: back down right now from this circumstance of the Chinese
Speaker 1: Communist Party saying you better not go to Taiwan. That
Speaker 1: looks bad for America. Looks like, well, now China calls
Speaker 1: the shots with our third in line for the presidency
Speaker 1: about where she can go. Now, why did Pelosi want
Speaker 1: to do this in the first place. She's not a
Speaker 1: freedom fighter, she doesn't care about anybody but herself. She's
Speaker 1: a fraud. She loves having her husband trade on material
Speaker 1: information that other people don't have access to. You know
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff about Pelosi you gotta keep in
Speaker 1: mind here, but Chinese Communist Party saying they might take
Speaker 1: military action in response to her, and this, I would
Speaker 1: just say, we need to be very careful in this
Speaker 1: moment in time. It was seven eight months ago, eight
Speaker 1: months ago now that we were being told that Russia
Speaker 1: would not invade Ukraine. That's crazy. Now we're eight months
Speaker 1: into a war in Ukraine. Now we aren't fighting that war,
Speaker 1: but we are supplying one side in that war with munitions,
Speaker 1: and without our support, the war would come to a
Speaker 1: very rapid halt, or rather the Russians would just steamroll them.
Speaker 1: So we were told by the experts, the foreign policy experts,
Speaker 1: that Russia would not invade an They did. And now
Speaker 1: we're being told by a lot of people. We need
Speaker 1: to stand up to China here, and I understand that impulse,
Speaker 1: but I think we also did have clarity on what
Speaker 1: we would do if China decide to call our hand here,
Speaker 1: force our hand. What would we do in response? What
Speaker 1: happens if China decides that they are sending the beginnings
Speaker 1: of a full invasion force across the Taiwan straight so
Speaker 1: one hundred miles from inland China to Tiwa, not that far.
Speaker 1: What do we do? I know we'd have a lot
Speaker 1: of diplomatic objections and demarshes and things like that. But
Speaker 1: are we going to send a carrier group with instructions
Speaker 1: to tell those ships that they turn around, or we're
Speaker 1: going to start bombing them from the sky and we're
Speaker 1: going to send our military resources against this Chinese fleet,
Speaker 1: this invasion fleet. Are we willing to do that? I
Speaker 1: think we want to consider that in its totality. We
Speaker 1: should think long and hard about this. Yes, we should
Speaker 1: support Taiwan. Yes, it's a country, an independent democracy with
Speaker 1: a lot to offer the world, and it is peaceful,
Speaker 1: and Taiwan's existence is a net positive for the planet
Speaker 1: as it is right now. So and Taiwan is a
Speaker 1: good friend to the United States, so that we obviously
Speaker 1: do a lot of trade with Taiwan. They're the biggest
Speaker 1: semiconductor producer in the world. They play a critical role
Speaker 1: in the modern economy. There are a tremendous economic success story.
Speaker 1: I am very pro Taiwan, but we the American people,
Speaker 1: need to think about whether we'd be willing to go
Speaker 1: to war with China over time. One, because China certainly
Speaker 1: seems to give us all the indications that at some point,
Speaker 1: at some point, they will be willing to do this.
Speaker 1: I mean, they've really been promising for a long time,
Speaker 1: and all the diplomatic niceties and all the memos and
Speaker 1: strongly worded speeches and all this stuff. If they decide
Speaker 1: to pull that trigger, the only thing that stops them
Speaker 1: is US service members risking their lives and taking the
Speaker 1: lives of Chinese service members. That's going to be it
Speaker 1: if Chinese, the Chinese Communist Party, makes that decision. So
Speaker 1: I would rather us think about this in advance than
Speaker 1: be caught in a situation somewhat similar to what we've
Speaker 1: seen with this Biden White House in Ukraine, where we
Speaker 1: were told, well, Russia is not going to do that
Speaker 1: Russia is not going to invade. This is all a bluff.
Speaker 1: That was really the consensus opinion. Seems strange at the time,
Speaker 1: didn't it put hundreds of thousands of troops along the border.
Speaker 1: Maybe they were just seeing if they could get something
Speaker 1: as a concession or nope, it turns out full scale war.
Speaker 1: And that full scale war is still going on right now.
Speaker 1: And look at the international response. Not enough to stop Russia.
Speaker 1: So does anyone think that the much larger, militarily and
Speaker 1: economically Chinese government would be stopped, that Shijinping would would
Speaker 1: be stopped in his tracks here if he decided to
Speaker 1: go for Taiwan. I don't think so. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: So we should think about what we're willing to do here.
Speaker 1: And if the American people feel strongly that we should
Speaker 1: be willing to go to war to defend Taiwan, well
Speaker 1: we should at least know that and say that out loud.
Speaker 1: This strategic ambiguity thing here doesn't make a lot of sense,
Speaker 1: does it. Maybe we would, maybe we wouldn't. That's official
Speaker 1: us PO. Does that sound like a good place for
Speaker 1: us to be? China is testing the waters more and more,
Speaker 1: so we need to be very honest with ourselves about this.
Speaker 1: Speaking of testing, Biden is tested positive for COVID again. Again,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about this and what it means
Speaker 1: for our fight against this virus. Summer vacation season is
Speaker 1: in full swing, making it important to protect yourself from
Speaker 1: identity theft while traveling. Simple as it sounds, preparing yourself
Speaker 1: for stealing your wallet or your purse, Yeah, that's straightforward, right,
Speaker 1: But if they get your stuff, your credit cards, your
Speaker 1: driver's license, that's enough info for identity thieves to steal
Speaker 1: your identity, right and then once they do, financial problems
Speaker 1: are big. It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity
Speaker 1: theft are affecting our lives. Your personal information gets exposed
Speaker 1: so often, making it dangerously easy for someone to steal
Speaker 1: your identity. Protecting your identity can be easy with a
Speaker 1: LifeLock by Norton LifeLock to text and alert you to
Speaker 1: potential identity threats you may not spot on your own,
Speaker 1: like crimes committed by thieves pretending to be you. If
Speaker 1: you do become a victim of identity theft, a dedicated
Speaker 1: US based restoration specialist will work with you to fix it.
Speaker 1: No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all
Speaker 1: transactions at all businesses, but it's easy to help protect
Speaker 1: yourself with LifeLock. Identity theft protection starts here. Join now

Speaker 1: positive for COVID again. They're calling it a pax SLOVID rebound,
Speaker 1: and that's interesting. You have the President of the United
Speaker 1: States test positive for COVID after four COVID shots. Mind you,
Speaker 1: he's double boosted, so he got two shots because one
Speaker 1: shot wasn't enough and then two more shots still got COVID.
Speaker 1: And he's also masked up sometimes and doing all this stuff.
Speaker 1: If Joe Biden gets COVID, given all of the procedures
Speaker 1: and everything else around him, I just want to know
Speaker 1: the libs walking around New York City with an N
Speaker 1: ninety five mask one for like ten minutes a day
Speaker 1: when they're outside, so everyone says, oh, wow, that person
Speaker 1: takes the virus. Seriously, do they really think they're not
Speaker 1: going to get the virus? So if they're definitely going
Speaker 1: to get it, why are they going through all the motion?
Speaker 1: As well as we know, it's now turned into some
Speaker 1: kind of religious belief for a lot of people, for
Speaker 1: a lot of libs. It has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: what's actually going to keep you safe. It's much more
Speaker 1: about what you're showing people by taking these actions. But
Speaker 1: my big problem with all of this is it is
Speaker 1: absurd that they have fired people from the military or
Speaker 1: any job for that matter, because they are they were
Speaker 1: not willing to get a shot that I mean to say,
Speaker 1: it doesn't stop the spread is an understatement. For these
Speaker 1: shots don't stop the spread. For these shots don't prevent
Speaker 1: you from getting sick, and getting pretty sick. Apparently even
Speaker 1: Biden had something like a cold, but it wasn't it
Speaker 1: wasn't an asymptomatic case, and now he has had a
Speaker 1: rebound after taking pax Loavid. Now I have been checking
Speaker 1: in on this and I asked an infectious disease specialist
Speaker 1: friend of mine and said, how is that even possible?
Speaker 1: It's not really well understood. But it may be that
Speaker 1: packs Loavid, by lowering the amount of virus in this system,
Speaker 1: creates an immune response that isn't as fulsome as it
Speaker 1: would need to be. Possibly. I think that's honestly, even
Speaker 1: when he explained to me, I wasn't even really clear
Speaker 1: on it. So, but pax Lovid obviously has this rebound possibility,
Speaker 1: and it's an anti viral pill you take. Fauci also
Speaker 1: had a pas Loavid rebound made by Fisser, by the way,
Speaker 1: sponsored by Fisser. So this just goes to show you
Speaker 1: that we're not out. We're not out of the woods
Speaker 1: with this situation. And I don't mean just the virus.
Speaker 1: I mean that people still think that all these things
Speaker 1: they do somehow have value, all these things they do
Speaker 1: somehow are going to stop them from getting sick, which
Speaker 1: is just not true. Joe Mansion is out there telling
Speaker 1: everybody that after his big switcheroo here on supporting the
Speaker 1: Biden Agenda, that the Inflation Reduction Act actually fights inflation,
Speaker 1: reduces it. Here's what he said. I didn't change my mind.
Speaker 1: I've never changed at all. This is fighting inflation. This
Speaker 1: is all about the absolute horrible position that people are
Speaker 1: in now because of the inflation cost whether it be gasoline,
Speaker 1: whether it be food pricing, whether it be energy pricing,
Speaker 1: and it's around energy mostly it's driving these high inflation.
Speaker 1: This is going to take care of that because this
Speaker 1: is aggressively producing more energy to get more supply, to
Speaker 1: get the prices down. That's what we're doing. But raise taxes. Now,
Speaker 1: they're raising taxes and it's not going to reduce inflation.
Speaker 1: So he's wrong on all things here. And I can't
Speaker 1: tell you. I don't know enough about Mansion. I don't
Speaker 1: really have enough of a sense of Mansion to say
Speaker 1: if this is mostly the result of Mansion not understanding
Speaker 1: these things, or if he's just a slimy duplicit as
Speaker 1: politician like so many others. I tend to think it's
Speaker 1: the latter, But maybe he doesn't really have much of
Speaker 1: an economic understanding here, or you know, I want to
Speaker 1: know how they got to him, you know what about
Speaker 1: and now now people pointed out rightly, why is he
Speaker 1: even a Democrat? Exactly? Like what is he a democrat on? Well,
Speaker 1: now you're seeing tax and spend. Government's going to bring
Speaker 1: down the cost of energy that's laughable. Government makes energy
Speaker 1: more expensive and it makes it more difficult. And the
Speaker 1: fact that they're going to focus in on green energy
Speaker 1: at the expense of fossil fuels just shows you they
Speaker 1: are un serious about making things better in the economy
Speaker 1: when it comes to energy production. This Green New Deal
Speaker 1: nonsense that is in this bill shows you everything you
Speaker 1: really need to know about this. But Joe Manchin, West Virginia,
Speaker 1: you know you gotta do better than this guy. Say it.
Speaker 1: Say it to you straight. You gotta do better than
Speaker 1: this guy. Thanks for rolling with me today. As you know,
