Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Cuomo advisors altered report on
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen nursing home debts. That was the story in
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal just yesterday. I want to make
Speaker 1: sure that we all focus in on this because I
Speaker 1: know the media is spending a lot of time on
Speaker 1: the sexual harassment allegations about Cuomo. And that's fine, he's
Speaker 1: a creepy old weirdo. I get it. I'm with you
Speaker 1: on all that. But what he did in the nursing
Speaker 1: home fiasco was far more egregious as a matter of
Speaker 1: public conduct, and far more damaging to the Democrat party
Speaker 1: and brand and the media too. That's a mega scandal,
Speaker 1: not not a thing that can be apologized for, not
Speaker 1: a thing that you can just wave aside with a
Speaker 1: hand and a few tears and say, oh the better.
Speaker 1: I promise that's not the way this works. We need
Speaker 1: to continue to hammer home the point here that Cuomo
Speaker 1: had people on his staff intentionally change numbers about deaths
Speaker 1: during a pandemic. This would be like a general lying
Speaker 1: about troops killed in battle so he could keep his job.
Speaker 1: That's how serious this is. You have to understand the
Speaker 1: degree to which this change thinking, and this mattered at
Speaker 1: this period in time of extremely important and tense decision making.
Speaker 1: Maybe people would have thought differently about, Oh, I don't know,
Speaker 1: the Great Barrington Declaration about focused protection for seniors if
Speaker 1: they had known just how egregious the government misconduct, how
Speaker 1: awful the decision making was in New York. Remember New
Speaker 1: York and New Jersey number two and number one, respectively
Speaker 1: for COVID deaths for one hundred thousand people in the
Speaker 1: United States, both very deep blue Democrats states. Let's remember that.
Speaker 1: And yet somehow Cuomo was a hero. He was second
Speaker 1: only to Fauci, to whom I can only say he
Speaker 1: needs to go Fauci himself, second only to Fauci in
Speaker 1: terms of the hero worship from the media. What the
Speaker 1: heck was this all about? How did this even happen?
Speaker 1: There's so much going on here. First of all, you
Speaker 1: have the fact that if you're a Democrat, you can
Speaker 1: get away with things that you would never be able
Speaker 1: to if this were a Republican. Imagine this were Christy Gnome.
Speaker 1: Imagine this were Ron Descantists. If Ron Descantists hid fifteen
Speaker 1: thousand nursing home debts by by undercounting it by fifty percent,
Speaker 1: so whatever they said it was roughly you got seventy
Speaker 1: five hundred. Let's say something along that along those lines.
Speaker 1: If he said that it was seventy five hundred, it
Speaker 1: was really fifteen thousand, people would be demanding not only
Speaker 1: he resigned, and when I say people, I mean universal,
Speaker 1: there would be universal, nationwide condemnation. In the media. It
Speaker 1: would be the top story. And there's just this kind
Speaker 1: of muted, halfhearted reportage on it from the Democrat outlets.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, it looks like maybe a crazy thing happened.
Speaker 1: Man Cuomo was undercounting nursing home deaths by I don't know,
Speaker 1: like fifty percent or something. Wow, they really don't math
Speaker 1: so good over in the Cuomo office, do they. Yeah,
Speaker 1: tough to do addition and subtraction. This mattered immensely. And
Speaker 1: if this were a Rhonda Santists, it would be the
Speaker 1: number one news story. I mean, you know, you remember
Speaker 1: when during the Bush administration there was that misconduct in
Speaker 1: Abu Grabe and that was on the front page of
Speaker 1: the newspaper day after day after day after day, and
Speaker 1: I remember being a pretty pretty young guy at the
Speaker 1: time and saying, Wow, So this is how you make
Speaker 1: a story really stick. This is how you really tear
Speaker 1: down an administration with the story. I mean, George Bush
Speaker 1: wasn't giving that order, but Abu Gray was on the
Speaker 1: front page of the newspaper of the New York Times,
Speaker 1: for example, I want to say twenty out of thirty
Speaker 1: days or something like that. It was a long time ago,
Speaker 1: but it was so much coverage of it, just saturation,
Speaker 1: saturation coverage. And they could do the same thing with Puma.
Speaker 1: This is a really big deal. We've had Democrats and
Speaker 1: we've had the corporate media lecturing us month after month
Speaker 1: after month about listening to the data, obeying the science,
Speaker 1: doing what Fauci tells us, And the hero of the
Speaker 1: pandemic was actually the villain. And we're not supposed to
Speaker 1: think that this is indicative of broader problems and the
Speaker 1: way they approached this whole thing in twenty twenty. We're
Speaker 1: not supposed to make the connection that clearly they were
Speaker 1: willing to go along with this in part because they
Speaker 1: knew that Cuomo was a useful weapon against Donald Trump
Speaker 1: in the election year, that Orange man bad who liked
Speaker 1: hydroxychloroquin as an idea, and you wasn't running around quadruple
Speaker 1: masking that maybe they were a little bit unfair to
Speaker 1: the point of sheer dishonesty about Trump in the election year,
Speaker 1: and we're willing to prop up people like Cuomo. Here's
Speaker 1: this piece the Wall Street Journal New York's Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 1: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's top advisors successfully pushed state
Speaker 1: health officials to strip a public health report of data
Speaker 1: showing that more nursing home residents had died of COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen than the administration had acknowledged. The July report, which
Speaker 1: examined the factors that led to the spread of the
Speaker 1: virus in nursing homes, focused only on residents who died
Speaker 1: inside long term care facilities, leaving out those who had
Speaker 1: died in hospitals after becoming sick in nursing homes. As
Speaker 1: a result, the report said six thousand, four hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty two nursing home residents had died, a significant undercount
Speaker 1: of the death toll attributed to the state's most vulnerable population.
Speaker 1: The People said the initial version of the report said
Speaker 1: nearly ten thousand nursing home residents had died in New
Speaker 1: York by July late last year. One of the people said,
Speaker 1: according to those with knowledge of the report, unbelievable. They
Speaker 1: went from ten thousand to six thousand. That's a pretty
Speaker 1: big difference, isn't it. Why would they do that, well,
Speaker 1: because they knew that that number would really shock people,
Speaker 1: and they knew that other states that also have senior
Speaker 1: citizens would be a point of comparison. And what they're
Speaker 1: now going to be able to do is say, hold
Speaker 1: on a second. The data was fudged here in a
Speaker 1: way that was meant to prevent accurate comparison. How can
Speaker 1: you know whether your public health officials? How could you
Speaker 1: know whether your governor is doing a good job when
Speaker 1: they're lying about the very data that they claim is
Speaker 1: supporting their position. And let me tell you this right now,
Speaker 1: this is not the only instance. It may be the
Speaker 1: most egregious, but the only instance of fraud through numbers manipulation.
Speaker 1: During this pandemic. We will find more of this. There
Speaker 1: are other cases where people either cherry pick numbers. And
Speaker 1: I'm talking about governor's state health officials. Maybe even Fauci himself.
Speaker 1: They cherry pick data to fit a preferred narrative and
Speaker 1: suppressed anything that challenged what they wanted the people to believe.
Speaker 1: If this were if Chromo were the CEO of a
Speaker 1: publicly traded company, or any company for that matter, if
Speaker 1: Chromo were the CEO of a private corporation, this kind
Speaker 1: of activity of hiding numbers like this, if they were
Speaker 1: profit numbers, for example. I mean, if you were cooking
Speaker 1: the books, he'd be facing prison time. But he cooked
Speaker 1: the books intentionally on deaths during a pandemic, when decisions
Speaker 1: were being made that were directly affecting and in some cases,
Speaker 1: as we see now, causing those deaths, and we're supposed
Speaker 1: to just forget about it, no big deal. Everybody was
Speaker 1: doing their best. Cuomo was giving us such great press conferences.
Speaker 1: His brother over at CNN was doing such funny stuff
Speaker 1: with him at night. They should have had a duo show. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess they did. These are the people, these are
Speaker 1: the voices, these are the platforms out there, all these
Speaker 1: different Democrat and Cuomo aligned groups and individuals who have
Speaker 1: been telling you all on to trust them, believe them.
Speaker 1: And they missed, and they also slowed this down right.
Speaker 1: That was another part of it. They were hoping to
Speaker 1: delay this, and they managed to delay until after the election,
Speaker 1: which is why now they're willing to finally let this
Speaker 1: all go. Why now you're seeing all the sexual harassment
Speaker 1: stories and you know there are people who are who
Speaker 1: are actually sitting down to do interviews with the accusers.
Speaker 1: All this is happening because Cuomo's extreme usefulness has passed.
Speaker 1: You know, you see this with Cuomo, it reminds me
Speaker 1: of what I believe will happen soon with Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: where eventually the Democrats will no longer be able to
Speaker 1: prop up Hiden Biden, who's declining. We'll figure out this
Speaker 1: guy really isn't up for this. It'll be apparent, it'll
Speaker 1: be embarrassing, it'll be sad, and they'll say, oh, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: I guess we missed that. But he beat Trump, didn't he.
Speaker 1: This is how they play the game. It's the Harry
Speaker 1: Reid approach to politics. Remember Harry Reid lied about Mitt
Speaker 1: Romney's tax returns. You know, I'm no Mitt Romney fan,
Speaker 1: but when asked about this just complete slander, Harry Reid
Speaker 1: laughed and said he didn't win, did he? And he
Speaker 1: was right. This is how democrats, this is how your
Speaker 1: corporate media approaches their job. They are on a team.
Speaker 1: They have picked a side, and in this case of
Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo, the side they picked was lying about thousand
Speaker 1: and thousands of deaths and causing Remember it's not just
Speaker 1: that they were embarrassed by the number. I mean to
Speaker 1: understand the full scope of this, you have to recognize
Speaker 1: that Cuomo, because of his unthinkably stupid decision to try
Speaker 1: to clear out hospital space faster by forcing COVID positive
Speaker 1: patients back into nursing homes, he caused more of these deaths.
Speaker 1: You see, it wasn't just this number looks bad for
Speaker 1: the state of New York. It's Cuomo made a decision,
Speaker 1: and some of that decision making, or some of that
Speaker 1: decisions ramifications, led to people's moms and dads, grandmas and
Speaker 1: grandpa's dying in nursing homes, not allowed to see their
Speaker 1: family members, maybe allowed a last zoom call. It is
Speaker 1: awful beyond words. But he was telling you, he was
Speaker 1: giving you lectures, and even if you don't live in
Speaker 1: New York, he doesn't care. He was America's lecturer in
Speaker 1: chief during COVID. That's what Cuomo was. He was telling you,
Speaker 1: if you don't mask up, you might kill somebody. You
Speaker 1: might cause somebody else's family member, loved one to die.
Speaker 1: How dare you do exactly what Cuomo says or else
Speaker 1: talk about what psychologists would call projection. This is so
Speaker 1: far the biggest scandal, though there are many, and there's
Speaker 1: going to be a lot more accountability that we have
Speaker 1: to force on the lockdowners as we have more data
Speaker 1: and more of the truth can finally come out. But
Speaker 1: what Cuomo did was the most appalling decision and the
Speaker 1: most dishonest aftermath of any major policy choice of the
Speaker 1: entire COVID nineteen pandemic. And we're finding out about it now.
Speaker 1: We will not let this go by the way. I've
Speaker 1: known about this for months. You've known about this for months.
Speaker 1: It's been reported the New York Post. Now we just
Speaker 1: have more and more information. It looks even worse than
Speaker 1: we thought. The mainstream media is finally touching on this.
Speaker 1: The mainstream media has finally come around do it because
Speaker 1: it served its purpose to suppress it when they did.
Speaker 1: But do not forget this. Cuomo lied seniors died. That
Speaker 1: is what happened. The Democrat Party should own this. They
Speaker 1: are responsible for this, and the corporate media's credibility is
Speaker 1: even further sullied if that was even a thing. That's possible.
Speaker 1: Just how much did the media love the love Gov.
Speaker 1: Governor Andrew Cuomo. The Cuomo sexuals, remember that that was
Speaker 1: a thing for a while. People were walking around with
Speaker 1: t shirts on such a hero. He's such an eligible bachelor.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, people were batting their eyelashes at Cuomo because
Speaker 1: he was so amazing. He was keeping us safe. The
Speaker 1: guy's a thug, a bully, and a liar, the worst
Speaker 1: of politics, and also a sexual harasser on top of
Speaker 1: all of that, which we will also get to here.
Speaker 1: He is according to the media over the course of
Speaker 1: this pandemic. I really, I really want you to just
Speaker 1: sit back and take all this in. Remember Cuomo live.
Speaker 1: Seniors died. Cuomo made an unthinkably stupid bullying decision, threatened
Speaker 1: nursing homes, basically used his pandemic superpower or ultra authoritarianism
Speaker 1: and superpower sounds like he's a hero, but use the
Speaker 1: authoritarian emergency powers. There we go that he had and
Speaker 1: then lied about it when it was a disaster afterwards,
Speaker 1: and then tried to shame everybody else who wouldn't keep
Speaker 1: listening to him. This is what you're the guardians of
Speaker 1: our republic, right the Fourth Estate. This is what they
Speaker 1: were saying about all of it. Play too, playing bye
Speaker 1: for Governor Cuomo's Press convers is Daily Briefing, David, We're
Speaker 1: sitting by for Governor Cuomo's press convers is Daily Briefing.
Speaker 1: How would you contrast Cuomo and President Trump's handling the crisis,
Speaker 1: truth versus mendacity. Governor Cuomo out there day after day
Speaker 1: after day. Everything Trump isn't honest, direct, brave, real leadership.
Speaker 1: I'm the kind the President of the United States should
Speaker 1: have provided. Governor Cuomo is clearly living in a totally
Speaker 1: different reality, the actual one, than the President of the
Speaker 1: United States. Governor Cuomo has become a national leader for
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Andrew Cuomo has become the leader
Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party. He is conveying incredible strength. You
Speaker 1: spoke to National Guard troops today in a stirring speech
Speaker 1: that if I wasn't listening carefully, I thought you were
Speaker 1: sending soldiers off to war. This has been a remarkable
Speaker 1: show of leadership by Governor Cuomo in recent days. He's
Speaker 1: providing hope, but not false hope. Governor of Cuomo, I think,
Speaker 1: is one of the heroes on the front lines. With
Speaker 1: all of this adulation that you're getting for doing your job,
Speaker 1: are you thinking about running for president? Andrew Cuomo, who
Speaker 1: has a daily television show now and has become in
Speaker 1: some way as the shadow president. Maybe Trump is just
Speaker 1: a little bit mad that Governor Cuomo has been become
Speaker 1: a kind of acting president. Dealing with hardship actually makes
Speaker 1: you stronger. That's what Governor Cuomo said earlier today. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna teach my kids right now at home.
Speaker 1: Brian Stelter, that guy is Oh my god, It's like
Speaker 1: the equivalent of pouring estrogen in your ear or something.
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is. It's unbelievable. I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you that that to me. I listened to this and
Speaker 1: I just I just shiver. It's just so gross. The
Speaker 1: whole thing is so obtuse and absurd. What what was
Speaker 1: going through their mind? Oh well, we know, notice how
Speaker 1: many clips we can pull of them saying unlike Trump,
Speaker 1: Cuomo is great. Unlike Trump, Cuomo speaks the truth. That's
Speaker 1: they're just their brains were fixated on this, fixated on this.
Speaker 1: You know, an honest assessment of Trump during the pandemic
Speaker 1: would start with he basically did everything foulch he told
Speaker 1: them to. When I spoke to the President in May
Speaker 1: in the Oval Office, the one thing he actually shook
Speaker 1: my hand in promise. The one thing that I asked
Speaker 1: is said, sir, please don't allow for there to be
Speaker 1: a federal push, a national push for and across the
Speaker 1: board lockdown. Let's and he said, I totally agree, I
Speaker 1: get it. He had been listening to Fauci a lot
Speaker 1: up to that point. He'd been listening to Fauci, and
Speaker 1: we've all seen what the results are. Remember, this is
Speaker 1: going to be treated like it's an objective discussion about
Speaker 1: the data and what's best for the country. But really,
Speaker 1: as you see from the teachers unions, this is about
Speaker 1: what is best for different individuals, their power, their money.
Speaker 1: They don't want honesty about what's happened during this pandemic.
Speaker 1: They certainly don't want accountability for people that we're propping
Speaker 1: up liars, frauds and thugs like Andrew Cuomo. I mean
Speaker 1: The fact that this guy, I would put money on
Speaker 1: it right now, is going to finish his term as governor.
Speaker 1: He will not resign and they will not impeach him
Speaker 1: just shows you how morally decrepit the Democrat Party in
Speaker 1: the state of New York and across the country is
Speaker 1: they're going to let this guy stay. If he stays,
Speaker 1: who goes? And let's just remember this, They're not going
Speaker 1: to impeach. Democrats will not impeach Governor Cuomo, but they
Speaker 1: impeach Trump twice. The first time and I know this
Speaker 1: was in Congress, but the first time over a phone
Speaker 1: call to the Ukrainian president where nothing happened. Cuomo sent
Speaker 1: seniors to die in nursing homes like a moron because
Speaker 1: he thought he was so smart and he was drunk
Speaker 1: with power, and then he lied about it to everybody.
Speaker 1: If that doesn't make you resign, what does. Governor Cuomo
Speaker 1: said that he has never propositioned anybody. Do you believe
Speaker 1: that he was propositioning you? Yes? For what sex? And
Speaker 1: then he explains at that point that he is looking
Speaker 1: for a girlfriend, he's lonely, he's tired. You've just finished
Speaker 1: dictation and the governor is telling you he's lonely and
Speaker 1: looking for a relationship. Yes, you have been quoted as
Speaker 1: saying that. He also asked you about if you'd ever
Speaker 1: been with an older man. Yeah, he asked me if
Speaker 1: age difference mattered. He also explained that he was fine
Speaker 1: with anyone over twenty two and how old are you?
Speaker 1: Twenty five? What were you thinking as he's asking you
Speaker 1: these questions. I thought he's trying to sleep with me.
Speaker 1: The Governor is trying to sleep with me, and I'm
Speaker 1: deeply uncomfortable and I have to get out of this
Speaker 1: room as soon as possible. And to be clear, what
Speaker 1: made you think that he was trying to sleep with
Speaker 1: you Without explicitly saying it, He implied to me that
Speaker 1: I was old enough for him, and he was lonely.
Speaker 1: He was trying to sleep with her. Can we all
Speaker 1: just state the obvious year together? I mean, that's none
Speaker 1: of us have been in the workplace and had conversations,
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe you know, shared some of our
Speaker 1: personal lives with friends or colleagues or whatever, but we
Speaker 1: also know when you're the governor of New York and
Speaker 1: you have a twenty five year old, attractive female who's
Speaker 1: alone with you, and you're talking about the age at
Speaker 1: which you're willing to have a sexual relationship and your
Speaker 1: need for a sexual like short of drawing a map
Speaker 1: or like producing some kind of a contract with his
Speaker 1: expectations at her expectation, Like this is pretty clear. It's
Speaker 1: entirely credible. All these women who have come forward, these
Speaker 1: are credible allegations. You know, we could go back to
Speaker 1: the Kavanaugh era, remember, and they kept saying credible allegations
Speaker 1: ends Kavanaugh, and I was completely losing my mind over this.
Speaker 1: I mean I was, I was furious. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is what I said. A lot of us became wartime
Speaker 1: conservatives during Kavanaugh because we saw that there was honestly
Speaker 1: no there there was no floor, there was no basement
Speaker 1: of moral depravity. The Democrats, including Kamala Harris by the way,
Speaker 1: leading the charge there in the Senate, don't ever forget
Speaker 1: that that there was no low. The Democrats would not
Speaker 1: god to destroy somebody for politics, that they would lie
Speaker 1: just in the most it was just the most mendacious, disgusting, idiotic,
Speaker 1: obviously untrue garbage about Brett Cavanaugh. It was, and any
Speaker 1: person who doesn't see that, it's just not very smart.
Speaker 1: It's not possible to look at all the not possible
Speaker 1: to look at the three accusers, including the third accuser
Speaker 1: who's like giggling and talking about gang rape that she
Speaker 1: saw when she came back from college. I mean, the
Speaker 1: whole the whole thing or Julie Sweatnick was her name,
Speaker 1: The whole thing was so absurd. Avanti Avanati is It
Speaker 1: isn't amazing to see. He was the hero of CNN
Speaker 1: at the time. Don't you see a pattern here? When
Speaker 1: you were useful against Trump, if you were a weapon
Speaker 1: against Donald Trump, you were given this this cloak of
Speaker 1: invincibility and the elevation. You were treated like a conquering hero.
Speaker 1: It didn't matter how disgusting you were. Michael Avanati is
Speaker 1: the ultimate slimy lawyer. He makes Michael Cohen Trump's good
Speaker 1: friend for a while, unfortunately makes Michael Cohen look like
Speaker 1: an ethical council. Avanati was stealing millions from a paralyzed client.
Speaker 1: That guy was on TV. He was on CNN I
Speaker 1: think more than any other guest over a period of
Speaker 1: two months. It was as though he was he was
Speaker 1: paid to anchor a show. He was on all the time,
Speaker 1: and he went forward with obvious lies about Brett Kavanaugh.
Speaker 1: But I digress. You know that that whole thing gets
Speaker 1: me so fired up, and I'll never forget. I had people,
Speaker 1: I had a CNN anchor reach out to me directly
Speaker 1: and say, you've got to stop what you're saying about Kavanaugh.
Speaker 1: You're going to destroy your career, and people on our
Speaker 1: side who think you're smart but don't agree with you
Speaker 1: will never take you seriously again. And I restrained myself
Speaker 1: from actually writing, you know, go fauci yourself, but I
Speaker 1: thought about it. I did tell them to, you know, leave, like,
Speaker 1: don't ever reach out to me again, and you're out
Speaker 1: of your mind. I think something like that was what
Speaker 1: I wrote. And yeah, we have not had any context since,
Speaker 1: but that's that was the mentality. It was all hands
Speaker 1: on deck to destroy an innocent man because it was necessary.
Speaker 1: They thought that was moral. You see, that's the problem
Speaker 1: with the left. They believe that morality is entirely situational
Speaker 1: and that there's no universal truth, there's no natural law.
Speaker 1: It's just whatever they need when they need it. That's
Speaker 1: a central principle of the left. That's if they have
Speaker 1: a principle, the principle is there's no such thing as
Speaker 1: a principle. But they kept saying, I'll bring this back
Speaker 1: to Quomaa. They kept talking about the need or that
Speaker 1: kept talking about the credibility of the allegations against Kavanaugh,
Speaker 1: and they figured if they repeated it enough, well keeps
Speaker 1: getting called credible, it must be. It would be difficult
Speaker 1: to come up with a less credible allegation than the
Speaker 1: one that. Yes, even you know the professor who leveled
Speaker 1: or you know the psychologist who leveled against Kavanaugh, she
Speaker 1: couldn't prove She couldn't prove that she ever even met him,
Speaker 1: Christine Blasi Ford couldn't prove that she even ever met him,
Speaker 1: had no details, no corroboration, no nothing, and had lied
Speaker 1: about things like she was afraid to fly unless she's
Speaker 1: going to Cabo, then flying as fine, right? I mean,
Speaker 1: the whole thing was such a scam, such a fraud.
Speaker 1: If that's a credible allegation, me saying that I assassinated
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln's a credible allegation. I'm sorry, do you can
Speaker 1: you prove that I don't have a time machine? Do
Speaker 1: you know that for a fact? You don't know me?
Speaker 1: I might have a time machine. You don't know, right,
Speaker 1: that's the level of credibility we're talking about. With the
Speaker 1: allegations against Cavanaugh, absurdity. But these allegations against Cuomo, everything
Speaker 1: lines up, everything is exactly. There's a pattern, the same
Speaker 1: kind of pattern everyone knows, and there were whispers about
Speaker 1: it before too. Word always gets out a little bit
Speaker 1: about these things, right, word always comes out, and nobody
Speaker 1: was really surprised by this. That's what's so amazing. The
Speaker 1: Democrats protected him as long as they could. They propped
Speaker 1: this jerk up as long as it was feasible for them,
Speaker 1: and as long as it was advantageous. That's the big difference.
Speaker 1: As long as it was an advantage for them, they
Speaker 1: propped this guy up. And here we are, here we are.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, the fact that he's not going
Speaker 1: to resign is so troubling. But also in another sense,
Speaker 1: he's an excellent reminder of how of how corrupt Democrats
Speaker 1: are with all of these things, and how two faced
Speaker 1: they are, and how it's all just about power for them.
Speaker 1: You know, meet me two things, right, I mean, first
Speaker 1: of all, let's not forget Joe Biden was credibly accused
Speaker 1: of sexual assault by a woman who knew him, who
Speaker 1: worked with him, who was around him. You know, remember
Speaker 1: when it was what does she have to gain accusing
Speaker 1: a Democrat who's going to be president of sexual assault?
Speaker 1: You really have got nothing to gain because your life
Speaker 1: is going to be ruined. You'd never even hear about
Speaker 1: that anymore. Do creepy Joe sniffing women's heads, grabbing them,
Speaker 1: touching them, saying weird city. I have never met a
Speaker 1: stranger and held her head from behind and kissed her
Speaker 1: head and sniffed her hair. That is a weird old move.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden did that. That's a matter of record. That's
Speaker 1: not that's not even an alligation. He apologized for that,
Speaker 1: but not not an issue to say nothing about Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. See. One of the things about Trump
Speaker 1: was that he was blowing out into the open the
Speaker 1: truth that we had known about the Democrats for so long.
Speaker 1: When he would say things like, you know, I could
Speaker 1: shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue, and you know, my supporters
Speaker 1: would stay with me, and the Democrats all lost their
Speaker 1: minds about that. A lot of Trump supporters said, look,
Speaker 1: he's obviously exaggerating a little bit, or he's you know,
Speaker 1: he's trying to make a point. It's hyperbole, but that
Speaker 1: has always been true about Democrats, Bill Clinton, going down
Speaker 1: the whole list. It's always been true that they can
Speaker 1: do whatever they want as long as they're useful for
Speaker 1: the power of the people on the Democrat side. And
Speaker 1: the same thing as very much true or Cuomo. We're
Speaker 1: seeing this play out in real time. Very I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, it's discouraging, that's not even really true. This
Speaker 1: is who the Democrats are. There's no surprise here. None
Speaker 1: of you are sitting around saying, wait a second, they're
Speaker 1: really unethical. They'll lie about Kavanaugh, and then they'll defend Kavanaugh,
Speaker 1: who's clearly innocent, and then and then defend Cuomo until
Speaker 1: they can't. They just they couldn't hold it back anymore.
Speaker 1: It's like Harvey Weinstein. Weinstein was a big friend of
Speaker 1: the Obama's. He was a big donor to the Democrats,
Speaker 1: you know, you see, and then eventually they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: there's too many allegations, too much stuff comes out. So
Speaker 1: then they you know, like like an old horse getting
Speaker 1: sent to the glue factory. That's what they do with Weinstein,
Speaker 1: with Cuomo, you know, Sorry, you're more useful now for
Speaker 1: us to do some virtue signaling and pretend like we're
Speaker 1: an honest press. They don't take these people down when
Speaker 1: it matters. They don't take them down when they're actually
Speaker 1: going to politically lose as a result of it. Get
Speaker 1: on the whole list. Everybody knew Charlie Rose with the
Speaker 1: crusty claw. I love that law, and that was a
Speaker 1: crusty claw, Matie. You know Charlie Rose was grabbing. I
Speaker 1: heard about Charlie Rose being an old creepster. I mean
Speaker 1: like twenty years ago when I was working at CBSC.
Speaker 1: If you news, everyone's always known that guy was an
Speaker 1: old creepster. You can own this list, all all these
Speaker 1: prominent democrats that it took so long, and then finally
Speaker 1: and then they want applause because the media fin covers
Speaker 1: the story. No, when they were powerful, when they were
Speaker 1: necessary to carry the message for the left, they were
Speaker 1: protecting the same things. True a cuomo here, But you
Speaker 1: listen to these young women. Look, we also all know.
Speaker 1: We sit there and you see these women talking about this,
Speaker 1: and you go, yeah, they're telling the truth. You know,
Speaker 1: we can actually make these guys sometimes you don't know
Speaker 1: sometimes it's kind of hard. Sometimes it feels like he said,
Speaker 1: she said, no, this is she said, and she's telling
Speaker 1: the truth. And she said, and she said, because they're
Speaker 1: a handful of them, they're telling the truth. Do the
Speaker 1: Democrats really care? What's fascinated, of course, is they actually
Speaker 1: do care about the sexual harassment more than they do
Speaker 1: the order to send seniors into nursing homes, which undoubtedly
Speaker 1: put more of them at risk and killed more seniors
Speaker 1: than would have otherwise died. They care more about uncouth
Speaker 1: inappropriate comments said to women. He didn't, you know, he
Speaker 1: didn't sexually assault anybody. I mean, there are there are
Speaker 1: some things Cuomo did not do, but I mean, he
Speaker 1: clearly likes young women and tries to use his power
Speaker 1: as a means of getting them into bed with him.
Speaker 1: And now it's come out, and that is what the
Speaker 1: media is hoisting them up and destroying him over. That's
Speaker 1: what they're hoisting him up over. Not there's the seniors
Speaker 1: in the nursing homes, because that goes after much more
Speaker 1: than just one man being a lecherous old fool. That
Speaker 1: goes to something else, goes to the way the media
Speaker 1: lied about COVID in so many ways to defeat Donald
Speaker 1: Trump in twenty twenty. The only way I know how
Speaker 1: to improve it is with a shredder. It's not even
Speaker 1: a coronavirus bill. Calming this a coronavirus bill is like
Speaker 1: calling Harvey Weinstein a feminist. It's chock full of spending porn,
Speaker 1: billions of dollars to states and local governments that have
Speaker 1: seen the revenues go up, billions of dollars defend programs,
Speaker 1: billions of dollars to schools with no requirements that they open.
Speaker 1: It's it's a it's an orgy of pork, an orgy
Speaker 1: of pork, the Senator, Senator Kennedy says here, it's like
Speaker 1: calling Harvey Weinstein a feminist, Kennedy. Kennedy's definitely writing out
Speaker 1: his lines beforehand, that's for sure. I don't also thought
Speaker 1: I was reminded of this because I mentioned Harvey Weinstein
Speaker 1: before in the context of incredibly powerful, wealthy, influential democrats
Speaker 1: who they cover for as long as they can, and
Speaker 1: then they want applause when the person is no longer
Speaker 1: useful to their cause and they, you know, throw them
Speaker 1: to the wolves. This coronavirus bill, that is I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not a COVID bill, it's just a Democrat spending bill.
Speaker 1: And we should come up with a better name for
Speaker 1: one thing, that one thing. We're Republicans, I think continuous
Speaker 1: continue to fall down on or or a major shortcoming
Speaker 1: they have is we need catchy phrases for things too.
Speaker 1: This is politics. We need short hand we need slogans,
Speaker 1: you know, we need better ways of referring to some
Speaker 1: of these things, because the second you call this a
Speaker 1: COVID relief bill, you're basically playing their game. The moment
Speaker 1: you concede with that word, that one point nine trillion
Speaker 1: dollars sounds like it's going toward helping people who have
Speaker 1: been so affected by COVID. But nine percent of the
Speaker 1: actual bill does so. Nine percent. I mean, if it
Speaker 1: were like sixty or seventy percent, I'd say, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's politics. They're gonna put some other stuff in there.
Speaker 1: It's basically all not COVID stuff. In fact, there's a
Speaker 1: whole there's there's provisions about, you know, additional spending for education,
Speaker 1: and most of it doesn't even happen next year. It's
Speaker 1: built in, it's layered in over years and years, tens
Speaker 1: of billions of dollars. Oh, you mean the teachers unions
Speaker 1: want their payoffs and they want their prerogatives, and it
Speaker 1: really has nothing to do with their safety. They're so scared. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I thought. Not a surprise, the pretense of
Speaker 1: Biden administration and of a Democrat majority Congress acting and
Speaker 1: even the most the most basic bipartisan fashion. I mean,
Speaker 1: that didn't last a day, did it. And Biden came
Speaker 1: into office in his attitude, or I should say the
Speaker 1: handlers around him and the special interests and the people
Speaker 1: that are telling him what to do. The attitude was
Speaker 1: we won, you lost, Go jump in a lake, you know,
Speaker 1: go blankety blanking blank your blank And we've seen nothing
Speaker 1: but that since then. And this is I think in
Speaker 1: part of a hangover of the way that Donald Trump
Speaker 1: psychologically broke the Left and they haven't put themselves back together.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Humpty Dumpy, all the King's horses
Speaker 1: and men can't put the Democrats fragile emotions back together again.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're having a tough time here because Donald
Speaker 1: Trump came into office and made fun of them for
Speaker 1: four years for being a bunch of shrill lib lunatics,
Speaker 1: and now they want paid against against everybody else. There's
Speaker 1: real anger out there. But you know, Ted Cruz notices
Speaker 1: that they're not even pretending to be reaching the other side.
Speaker 1: And you look at the way that Republicans passed real
Speaker 1: COVID bills with Democrat votes last year. It's actually possible, folks,
Speaker 1: that's not some theoretical Democrats are going to put pass
Speaker 1: this probably without a single Republican vote in the Senate.
Speaker 1: And you know, who knows how the House is going
Speaker 1: to go play ten. We're getting ready to go through
Speaker 1: an unfortunate bit of political theater, and the reason for
Speaker 1: that is that the Democrats have made the decision to
Speaker 1: be hard partisans rather than to work together in a
Speaker 1: bipartisan manner. Last year, Congress passed five separate COVID relief bills.
Speaker 1: Every one of them was bipartisan. So it's not just
Speaker 1: empty words. Republicans here have demonstrated that we are ready
Speaker 1: and willing to roll up our sleeves and work together
Speaker 1: in a bipartisan manner to address COVID, to defeat this pandemic,
Speaker 1: and to get people back to work. Joe Biden Chuck
Speaker 1: Show where Nancy Close he could have done the same,
Speaker 1: but they made a decision instead. This is not a
Speaker 1: COVID bill. Nine percent of this bill focuses on COVID.
Speaker 1: Health spending is a partisan wish list, paying off the
Speaker 1: Democratic special interests that brought them elect And it's cynical.
Speaker 1: It's got Chuck Schumer's bridge to Canada. The last I checked,
Speaker 1: A bridge to Canada is not going to defeat COVID.
Speaker 1: It is not. Sorry Canada, That's not the way it's
Speaker 1: going to work. But Republicans did buy partisan things to
Speaker 1: help the country during COVID. Democrats won't do that now. Why,
Speaker 1: what we are doing is building the capacity to address
Speaker 1: the needs of those children, and we are guided by
Speaker 1: some core principles. Number one, we act in the best
Speaker 1: interests of the children, and we act in the best
Speaker 1: interests of the American people. And thirdly, we adhere to
Speaker 1: our values and principles as a country. And so in fact,
Speaker 1: the numbers are significant. Allan is significant. Yeah, And our
Speaker 1: plans are well underway as we build the capacity to
Speaker 1: address the needs of the children, and we are rebuilding
Speaker 1: from scratch. Oh, it's all about the children. What's Buck's
Speaker 1: law of politics for Democrats. The moment they tell you
Speaker 1: it's about the children, you're being lied to. Okay, just
Speaker 1: remember that it's always true. The moment they say it's
Speaker 1: for the children, the moment Nancy Pelosi comes out, you know,
Speaker 1: with her Chanelle scarf loosely draped around her mouth because
Speaker 1: she cares so much about COVID and goes the children. Indeed, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get them the things that they need. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's because they've got something else going on. Why do
Speaker 1: we have a what is he saying now, DHS Secretary
Speaker 1: of may orcas a significant challenge at the border. Why
Speaker 1: do we have this because of the Biden administration. That's
Speaker 1: why we have a huge spike in people coming to
Speaker 1: the border. They are literally wearing Biden T shirts. Okay,
Speaker 1: can we make this anymore clear? Illegal immigrants are showing
Speaker 1: up and wearing T shirts that say Biden, let us
Speaker 1: in at the border. I think we know why they're
Speaker 1: showing up. And Democrats are already I mean House Democrats
Speaker 1: are already pushing bills, trying to get bills ready to
Speaker 1: go for mass amnesty. I said, I've said this all along.
Speaker 1: You know, policy, I'm good at predicting elections. I don't
Speaker 1: think anybody can really predict elections, but policy I can
Speaker 1: usually see coming. But we're going to have to have
Speaker 1: a whole reckoning here as a country about what's going
Speaker 1: on with our immigration policy right now, because this is
Speaker 1: about to be the central fight. And really what you're
Speaker 1: going to start to you're gonna start to see is
Speaker 1: that they want open borders because sovereignty is for suckers.
Speaker 1: Sovereignty a nation that can control its borders that requires effort.
Speaker 1: You know, it's much better create incentives for people to come,
Speaker 1: and give even more incentives when they stay to vote
Speaker 1: for one political party, and you effectively create and a
Speaker 1: voter base of anybody from anywhere around the world who
Speaker 1: feels like coming to America and availing themselves of all
Speaker 1: of the benefits of being here illegally. Right, we're supposed
Speaker 1: to have a process for all of this. I mean,
Speaker 1: as Milton Friedman said, it is one thing to have
Speaker 1: free immigration to jobs. It's another thing to have free
Speaker 1: immigration to welfare. And you cannot have both. You can
Speaker 1: have a welfare state or you can have open immigration
Speaker 1: for jobs. You have both, You've got a big problem.
Speaker 1: Do you think we have a bit of a welfare
Speaker 1: state in this country, is it fair to say? But
Speaker 1: this has been a long time in coming. As you know,
Speaker 1: the dominant liberal media narrative on immigration has been a
Speaker 1: series of shifting lies for about the last forty years.
Speaker 1: In the Trump era, the main leftist argument on immigration
Speaker 1: shifted into outright moral blackmail from the left. This is
Speaker 1: what this is how it would always go. You know this,
Speaker 1: if you ever tried to talk to somebody about immigration policy,
Speaker 1: this is how it happens. Do you have a problem
Speaker 1: with a million illegal arrivals from a Central America, You
Speaker 1: must be racist, they say to you. If you ask
Speaker 1: any questions about who will pay for these new illegal
Speaker 1: arrivals in terms of the benefits and welfare, that's a
Speaker 1: racist question to ask. If you wonder how social Security
Speaker 1: and Medicare will remain viable programs when millions of illegal
Speaker 1: aliens will need similar benefits when they reach retirement age,
Speaker 1: it's racist to even consider such things. It's just always
Speaker 1: about how it's always racist and xenophobic. You're not allowed
Speaker 1: to ask any questions based on, oh, I don't know
Speaker 1: the simple math of how are we going to pay
Speaker 1: for this? Who's gonna pay for this? How's this all
Speaker 1: going to go? That's more or less the extent of
Speaker 1: the intellectual discourse you can expect from leftists on the
Speaker 1: issue of illegal immigration, because they much prefer to engage
Speaker 1: in ad hominin attacks against anybody who has a problem
Speaker 1: with open borders. It's so much easier. As you know,
Speaker 1: illegal alien is a term that appears in the federal
Speaker 1: legal Code. Many times left just now say that it
Speaker 1: is hateful, and they're actually in the process of changing this.
Speaker 1: They might have already changed it by the time I
Speaker 1: talk to you. In the federal code, it's hateful to
Speaker 1: say words that are written in federal law when it
Speaker 1: comes to immigration. But they were. They used to insist
Speaker 1: on illegal immigrant, but they disliked the fact that there
Speaker 1: was illegal in there. So if you're gonna call something illegal,
Speaker 1: you're kind of admitting it's against the law. That's a problem.
Speaker 1: So then they moved on to the more orwellian term undocumented,
Speaker 1: which is absurdly vague and inaccurate. They have documents somewhere,
Speaker 1: they're not undocumented. They just don't have documents that say
Speaker 1: you're legally allowed to be in the United States. Calling
Speaker 1: an illegal alien undocumented is like calling a trespasser a
Speaker 1: pre invite guest. Now keep in mind, this phraseology fight
Speaker 1: is coming to us after decades of brainwashing the American
Speaker 1: people with platitudes meant to conflate legal and illegal immigration
Speaker 1: to misleads citizens about the costs of illegals and pretend
Speaker 1: the problem was less massive all along than in reality
Speaker 1: it is. Loaded misleading claims like America is a nation
Speaker 1: of immigrants, and immigrants do the jobs Americans won't do
Speaker 1: have become second nature for many American commentators, in particular
Speaker 1: news anchors policy analysts. They say these things as though
Speaker 1: they are written in the Constitution itself. I mean, CNN
Speaker 1: actually seems to believe that Emma Lazarus's Great Colossus poem
Speaker 1: on the base of the Statue of Liberty is the
Speaker 1: foundation of federal immigration law. You know the poem. For
Speaker 1: anybody who doesn't know this, just so you're clear, the
Speaker 1: poem was for a fundraiser. The plaque is there for tourists. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's where the Great Colossus bone. You know, and give
Speaker 1: me you're tired, you're hungry, or I don't remember all
Speaker 1: the poem, but you get it. Historically, Ellis Island was
Speaker 1: actually a place where immigrants could be rejected on the
Speaker 1: spot after a week's long transatlantic journey. You got about
Speaker 1: two percent of all new immigrants at Ellis Island were
Speaker 1: for medical or mental health reasons, told to go back
Speaker 1: on the boat and go home. So people were turned
Speaker 1: away even at Ellas Island, not a lot, but there
Speaker 1: were people turned away. The life's rewriting of immigration history
Speaker 1: isn't simply an academic matter. It's been used to create
Speaker 1: narratives that support illegal immigration at the expense of rule
Speaker 1: of law and sovereignty. So that's now it's at the
Speaker 1: point where we have to see what's going to come next,
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. We are at the extremes now,
Speaker 1: we are at the phase where we would have to
Speaker 1: think about what becomes of this country when there's another
Speaker 1: mass legalization. Remember we had a mass legalization under Ronald
Speaker 1: Reagan in nineteen eighty six, and they said it would
Speaker 1: only be whatever. It was, a couple million, and then
Speaker 1: there was going to be very secure border and no
Speaker 1: more illegal immigration. We got the amnesty, and then we
Speaker 1: got millions and millions more illegal immigran in the country.
Speaker 1: And you know, if all of this is fine, if
Speaker 1: it means if it is meaningless, as the left now pretends,
Speaker 1: why do we even pretend there's a thing called assimilation?
Speaker 1: Why have immigration laws at all? If immigration, including illegal immigration,
Speaker 1: if illegal immigration is only good, if it is only
Speaker 1: upside And there are some radical libertarian think tank types
Speaker 1: who will always say that right, oh the more, if
Speaker 1: we could take them, if we could take five hundred
Speaker 1: million people from China the United States tomorrow, it would
Speaker 1: make us wealthier, That's what they'll tell you. It'll be
Speaker 1: a better country then, to which I say, Okay, if
Speaker 1: five hundred million Chinese arrived in America tomorrow, which I
Speaker 1: know that's not going to happen, but we're just as
Speaker 1: a thought experiment, would it still be America? It's still
Speaker 1: the same country. Don't we have cultures, norms, more rays,
Speaker 1: shared history, tradition. Doesn't all that come from being here
Speaker 1: and being an American? And that we have an assimilation
Speaker 1: process for people to become American over time. But you know,
Speaker 1: when you show up here illegally and the first day
Speaker 1: you step on us soil, you're not an American. You're
Speaker 1: not by law, and you're not by any other definition.
Speaker 1: So how do we actually view this as a society.
Speaker 1: These are the conversations we have to have. And then,
Speaker 1: of course there's the question of the official count as
Speaker 1: of twenty seventeen. They were saying, and it's just true
Speaker 1: now too. I mean, I just have a twenty seventeen
Speaker 1: number in front of me. But they'll say about eleven
Speaker 1: point seven million illegal illegal aliens in the the United States.
Speaker 1: But that figure is an estimate based on voluntary census data.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's all census data they're using. The real
Speaker 1: number of illegal aliens is probably much much higher. Right.
Speaker 1: There were those math nerds at Yale, and I say
Speaker 1: math nerds with reverence, just a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: They did a PhD project and they looked at all
Speaker 1: the available data and these are you know, these are
Speaker 1: math whizzes, and they estimated the number of illegal aliens
Speaker 1: was more like twenty million, which is close to double
Speaker 1: the official figure. It's it's pretty remarkable when you see
Speaker 1: that we're told the number has stayed constant, illegal aliens
Speaker 1: has stayed constant for like the last ten or fifteen years.
Speaker 1: Net migration zero. You hear all these things. Meanwhile, when
Speaker 1: I've been down at the border and talk to border patrol.
Speaker 1: Members of border patrol, you know what they say, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: We're catching illegals crossing over all the time, and illegals
Speaker 1: aren't in large numbers going back to where they came from,
Speaker 1: especially if they come from Pakistan or China or the
Speaker 1: Philippines or wherever they're not they're not coming, they're not
Speaker 1: going back to their home countries. Once they get here,
Speaker 1: they stay. But we can't even we cannot have an
Speaker 1: honest discussion about immigration in this country. And again see
Speaker 1: even just the notion of immigration. I'm talking about illegal immigration.
Speaker 1: We can't have an honest discussion about it because that
Speaker 1: would mean the left won't get its way quite as easily.
Speaker 1: But do you see how they're ramming through this spending
Speaker 1: bill in the Congress. See how their plans now or
Speaker 1: to just continue doing exactly what they want, doesn't matter
Speaker 1: what the Republicans think. That's the plan for amnesty too,
Speaker 1: That's how they're going to ram through amnesty. They're shameful.
Speaker 1: We know that the Republican Party does not have ideas,
Speaker 1: and so they know if they don't have a policy,
Speaker 1: they can run on and get the ability to convince
Speaker 1: people to vote for them. They're going to limit the
Speaker 1: amount of people that can vote so that they can
Speaker 1: continue to have the ability to get elected. We believe
Speaker 1: that the more people that have the ability to vote
Speaker 1: and participate in our democracy is what makes our democracy work.
Speaker 1: And we're going to continue to fight them on local levels,
Speaker 1: but we're also going to do something federally. And that's
Speaker 1: what we did last night. We passed the People's Act
Speaker 1: HR one, which is our pro democracy legislation that creates
Speaker 1: more accountability and transparent democracy. And this is you know,
Speaker 1: a sweeping legislation that creates a matic voter registration, that
Speaker 1: gets rid of partisan jurymandering, that allows for there to
Speaker 1: be early voting processes, that gets you know, certain interests
Speaker 1: and dirty money out of our politics, and allows for
Speaker 1: more people to believe in our democracy and know that,
Speaker 1: you know, it's supposed to be of the people, for
Speaker 1: the people. HR one, other than amnesty, is the most
Speaker 1: important policy that the Democrats are trying to ram through
Speaker 1: in America right now. Okay, this is enormously consequential, and
Speaker 1: our conservative media is not focused enough on this. You know,
Speaker 1: I really, I really think that conservative media is, you know,
Speaker 1: still a little bit of licking our wounds here after
Speaker 1: what happened in the election. I think people are feeling
Speaker 1: a little bit and I get it, feeling a little
Speaker 1: bit it on their back feet. But we got we
Speaker 1: have no time for that. We gotta mount up, We
Speaker 1: gotta get ready and get serious here. Because Democrats notice,
Speaker 1: right from the get go, left wing ideologue stuff right away,
Speaker 1: not you know, let's take care, let's fix the country
Speaker 1: and make everything a little bit better, and then we
Speaker 1: can then we can get back to fighting over you know,
Speaker 1: magazine bands and firearms and things like that, the usual stuff,
Speaker 1: right the stuff that Democrats will never let go. Can
Speaker 1: we at least get normalcy back in our society? Could
Speaker 1: that be the focus, Get out of COVID, get past COVID. No,
Speaker 1: the focus is to use the crisis for their own
Speaker 1: political benefit right away. And that's where HR one comes in.
Speaker 1: My friends. These are the kind of things that will
Speaker 1: prevent a Republican from winning elections for the next twenty
Speaker 1: years and will change the Republican Party in the process
Speaker 1: as well, to make it even whimpier and less conservative.
Speaker 1: These are structural, long term changes. These are not minor things.
Speaker 1: And the Democrats know with HR I've already been telling
Speaker 1: you about Ambassy. They know with HR one that this
Speaker 1: would be an enormously consequential bill for them. There's so
Speaker 1: much so that you know, you've got just yesterday the
Speaker 1: San Francisco Chronicle writing that the filibuster is a small
Speaker 1: sacrifice for HR one the future of democracy. You're gonna
Speaker 1: know what Democrats really want by where they actually finally
Speaker 1: decide in this fifty fifty senate we've got. When they
Speaker 1: finally decide the filibuster is gone, that's when you know
Speaker 1: they've really they're really going for it, and they may
Speaker 1: do it on h I don't think they will on
Speaker 1: HR one. You know, there's a lot of variables here,
Speaker 1: but they may do it on HR one. And it's
Speaker 1: because here's what House to make it very very straightforward,
Speaker 1: what House Resolution one does is all this stuff the
Speaker 1: Democrats did to outmaneuver the Trump campaign with bad faith
Speaker 1: changes in the COVID year to the way the election
Speaker 1: was going to be held, right, the mass mail in ballots,
Speaker 1: the lack of verification, the change, you know, the expanding
Speaker 1: voting everywhere they could, adding additional days for votes to
Speaker 1: be gathered after election day, all these things they did.
Speaker 1: HR one would make all of that stuff the way
Speaker 1: the law is period right. HR one would would try
Speaker 1: to do everything in its power to make the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty election changes the way that all elections are now. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the states play a large role in this two. But
Speaker 1: I mean, here's what you know. Here's where, for example,
Speaker 1: ballot harvesting comes in, and voter verification and those those
Speaker 1: kinds of important election safeguard. I mean, ballot harvesting is
Speaker 1: just a recipe for disaster. And I also think at
Speaker 1: some point you do need to there needs to be
Speaker 1: a process the same way we have an immigration process
Speaker 1: for a reason. There needs to be a voting process
Speaker 1: for a reason. Here's here's the Wall Street Journal recently
Speaker 1: on this, just a couple of days ago. If you
Speaker 1: thought the twenty twenty election ran like a finely oiled machine,
Speaker 1: you'll love what Democrats plan next. The Senate and House
Speaker 1: reserved their first bills HR one and S one for
Speaker 1: voting changes that would make mail balloting in a play
Speaker 1: gear seem buttoned up. We've gone through some details, but
Speaker 1: it's worth looking. As the House prepares to vote this week.
Speaker 1: Advocates present the legislation as a good government reform that
Speaker 1: won't favor either party, but HR one is packed with
Speaker 1: provisions that would federalize election rules to dubious result, unsettled
Speaker 1: long standing election practices and security measures that local officials
Speaker 1: think prudent, undermine public confidence, and increase the odds of
Speaker 1: contested outcomes. Start with permanent pandemic rules. HR one would
Speaker 1: create a federal right to a mail ballot, no excuse necessary.
Speaker 1: Registered voters couldn't be made to submit any form of
Speaker 1: identification as a condition of obtaining an absentee ballot, except
Speaker 1: a signature or affirmation. State laws requiring mail in votes
Speaker 1: to be notarized or signed by witnesses would be trumped.
Speaker 1: No pun intended. Late arriving ballots, if postmarked on time,
Speaker 1: would be vali nationwide for ten days after election day.
Speaker 1: In other words, the bill would entrench last year's emergency experiment,
Speaker 1: further turning election day into election quarter. HR one would
Speaker 1: give Americans endless opportunities to relive the fund In New
Speaker 1: York's twenty second congressional district, which didn't have a victor
Speaker 1: for ninety seven days out of Pennsylvania's tenth ninety seven
Speaker 1: late arriving ballots last year and alarming six point six
Speaker 1: percent did not have legible postmarks. A state Senate seat
Speaker 1: outside Pittsburgh turned on whether or not to count mail
Speaker 1: ballots that voters neglected. To date, one county tallied them,
Speaker 1: the next county did not. What if the White House
Speaker 1: were in the ballots? Chaos, anarchy, no guardrails, no safeguards.
Speaker 1: That's how Democrats want elections to be always if they
Speaker 1: can get away with it going forward, that's the plan.
Speaker 1: When I travel around the state, there are people who
Speaker 1: just don't wear a mask, and there's no sanction to them,
Speaker 1: even though there was a mandate, or at least it
Speaker 1: is through next Wednesday, but there were no sanctions. People
Speaker 1: made their decisions on their own, and I travel in
Speaker 1: many places where everyone has a mask. We're not saying
Speaker 1: don't do it. In fact that the capital. We're saying,
Speaker 1: we strongly suggest you wear a mask. I wear a
Speaker 1: mask when I'm around people out of respect to them
Speaker 1: if they want me to. We're saying to people still
Speaker 1: social distance, we're just not taking away the freedom and
Speaker 1: liberty and Texas from people that they are doing in
Speaker 1: Democrats states and Joe Biden wants to do. But again, Harris,
Speaker 1: I go back to the President. How dare him attack
Speaker 1: Texas for our policies when he is allowing the border
Speaker 1: to be overrun by people coming in here by the hundreds,
Speaker 1: by the thousands and testing positive and coming on a
Speaker 1: bus to your state wherever you happen to live in
Speaker 1: the United States of America. What a hypocrite. And so
Speaker 1: the Biden administrations allowing the importation of illegal aliens with
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen while they're lecturing everybody about masks and social distancing. Still,
Speaker 1: Texas and Mississippi caught so much heat for this, and
Speaker 1: I've got to say, I feel like Governor Abbott, they
Speaker 1: did a little bit of a walk back here with
Speaker 1: this whole thing. And now when you see what different
Speaker 1: cities are saying in the state of Texas, it's not
Speaker 1: quite as free as it should be. I mean, I
Speaker 1: know we've got a lot of folks listening in KLBJ Austen,
Speaker 1: big audience there. Thank you all so much, by the
Speaker 1: way for being a part of Team Buck in the
Speaker 1: Austin area. Really do appreciate you, guys and gals. But
Speaker 1: I know that if you write in, you're gonna tell
Speaker 1: me we still have, you know, mask mandates and all
Speaker 1: the businesses and restaurants and everything. So Texas, it seemed
Speaker 1: like mostly theatrics that at the state level they no
Speaker 1: longer have a mask mandate. And I do think there's
Speaker 1: there's a fair point to be made. And I talked
Speaker 1: to my friend Jesse Kelly about this yesterday, who's down
Speaker 1: in Houston, that the mask mandate never should have been
Speaker 1: there in the first place at the state level. So
Speaker 1: I'm just I get so excited at the notion of
Speaker 1: the break in the authoritarianism, or at least a crack
Speaker 1: in the authoritarianism. Damn, I get so excited that, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm willing, I'm willing to accept far from perfect policy
Speaker 1: and and don't always focus on how bad things have
Speaker 1: been in some places up to this point. You know,
Speaker 1: I think the leadership in the state of Texas has
Speaker 1: been very disappointing on COVID, and obviously they're looking to
Speaker 1: to get attention away from the awful ice storm situation,
Speaker 1: the power out power outage, and everything else that happened there.
Speaker 1: But you'll notice that the media was immediately jumping all
Speaker 1: over and not just the media, the Biden administration jumping
Speaker 1: all over Texas and Mississippi for you know, they don't
Speaker 1: believe in the science. That's what we were all being told.
Speaker 1: They don't believe in the science. And guess what state
Speaker 1: just also said that they're they're reopening or scaling back,
Speaker 1: going to one hundred percent for businesses and even opening
Speaker 1: sports venues fifty percent outdoors, ten percent indoors for sports
Speaker 1: arenas the state of Connecticut. And I haven't seen anybody
Speaker 1: like Biden calling, you know, Connecticut a Neanderthal state. So
Speaker 1: why why is was it okay to go after Mississippi
Speaker 1: and Texas in that Well, we all know because the
Speaker 1: station in the mind of the parties and of the
Speaker 1: press is that that those are red states. Even though
Speaker 1: Texas is getting uncomfortably close to purple friends, Texas is
Speaker 1: not trending in the right direction. But that's a conversation
Speaker 1: for another time. In the case of Connecticut, though, it
Speaker 1: is a deep blue state, and it is a state
Speaker 1: that has had a high degree of COVID mortality, which
Speaker 1: is something that I also think we need to focus on.
Speaker 1: I think we need to be very clear about the
Speaker 1: fact that the Blue states. I remember early on in
Speaker 1: the pandemic, there were a lot of smug blue check
Speaker 1: liberals on social media who were staying, the red states
Speaker 1: are going to have all this COVID, the Blue states
Speaker 1: listen to the science and well turned out the worst
Speaker 1: states for COVID nineteen New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island.
Speaker 1: Those are the worst states. Connecticut's high. I think Connecticut's
Speaker 1: in the top, in the top ten, but those are
Speaker 1: the worst states for COVID nineteen. And I think it's
Speaker 1: important that everybody understand that that was completely contrary to
Speaker 1: what we were initially being told that the red states
Speaker 1: that don't wear their masks they were going to be
Speaker 1: the ones that suffered so badly. Anyway, Connecticut is moving
Speaker 1: in the right direction. And you know, I always tell
Speaker 1: you I call balls and strike as I call it
Speaker 1: like I see it. Anything that is pushing in the
Speaker 1: direction of reopening is better than the alternative. So I'm
Speaker 1: always going to be favorable toward decisions about reopen at
Speaker 1: this phase because that's where we should all. That's where
Speaker 1: we should be. But I also understand. I'm also clear
Speaker 1: on the fact that some of these places. It's not
Speaker 1: just about when they're reopening, it's about when do we
Speaker 1: get to have a real conversation about the bad decision
Speaker 1: making here and the poor decision making of elected officials
Speaker 1: about lockdown in the first place. I will tell you this.
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about this yesterday. I so appreciate
Speaker 1: the people who listened to this show, who are writing
Speaker 1: in from all over the country and were really supporting me.
Speaker 1: It was not easy to be a lockdown skeptic in
Speaker 1: the last year. I had a lot of people on
Speaker 1: the right, even I had a lot of people who
Speaker 1: are Republicans who would write it sometimes saying people who
Speaker 1: even knew me whould say kind of nasty or really
Speaker 1: nasty stuff. You know, can't you read? Why don't you
Speaker 1: believe science? Things like this all the time, And it's
Speaker 1: because I was offending their religion. This became a religion.
Speaker 1: It was a philosophy of meaning and a philosophy of
Speaker 1: personal excellence that really was very divorced from actual science
Speaker 1: and data. And so I appreciate those who listening to
Speaker 1: the show. One that you continue to obviously to listen
Speaker 1: when I'm talking about this stuff, because I know sometimes
Speaker 1: there were other issues. You know, I think that the
Speaker 1: conservative media was so busy sometimes just just chasing around
Speaker 1: every aspect of the Trump train, that we let the
Speaker 1: narrative around COVID be dominated by the Democrats. And by
Speaker 1: the way, that's how they beat Trump. Was a part
Speaker 1: of it. COVID was the secret sauce to Joe Biden
Speaker 1: getting elected. That's how this actually went went went down.
Speaker 1: But you know, there was a lot of chasing Trump
Speaker 1: tweets around, and you know, a lot of focus on
Speaker 1: you know, Hunter Biden and all I was totally the
Speaker 1: hunder Biden stuff. The biggest story around under Biden was
Speaker 1: really the fact that they suppressed the Hunter Biden story.
Speaker 1: The social media companies did, and obviously all the other
Speaker 1: media companies news media. But I knew that wasn't going
Speaker 1: to cost Joe Biden the election. I knew that that
Speaker 1: was something that got the conservative base fired up because
Speaker 1: it shows what a fraud and I get it, what
Speaker 1: a hack Joe Biden is, but I knew it wasn't
Speaker 1: going to be enough. The fight was about COVID, and
Speaker 1: I kept talking to you about it and about masks
Speaker 1: and about where this all was, and I appreciate all
Speaker 1: the support of the people were writing in throughout the
Speaker 1: year that you gave me on this, because it wasn't
Speaker 1: it wasn't easy. It wasn't easy. There were not a
Speaker 1: lot of people on the right who were really adept
Speaker 1: at making the case and about holding the line when
Speaker 1: there was overwhelming pressure to to just start double masking
Speaker 1: or or to just do all these things that we've
Speaker 1: been told all along, um, some of which are useful
Speaker 1: to a degree, and some of which are just completely useless.
Speaker 1: Others are you know, they're overstated in use. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's so much nuance here and so much complexity in
Speaker 1: the how to respond to COVID argument, but it all
Speaker 1: got boiled down to listen to Saint Fauci anyway, some
Speaker 1: of us will have seen what the truth is here,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate. Look, I'm very proud of what this
Speaker 1: show said about COVID for the last twelve months. And
Speaker 1: I put our record up against anybody for seeing things
Speaker 1: as they are, for seeing what's coming, and for refusing
Speaker 1: to bend the knee to the you know, mask up
Speaker 1: peasant outrage mob. Sorry, folks, I just didn't not to you,
Speaker 1: but to those people didn't didn't feel like allowing them
Speaker 1: to get away with their authoritarianism, with their petty tyranny
Speaker 1: without at least some objection. So I'm very proud of
Speaker 1: what we've done the last twelve months on that topic,
Speaker 1: honestly more than any other. And there have not been
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there who have been really
Speaker 1: willing to stand shoulder or shoulder with me on this
Speaker 1: stuff in public, because people like you know, this is
Speaker 1: a true of even concerns in the media, they really
Speaker 1: like their peer group to think they're smart. They want
Speaker 1: they're okay with being disagreed with, but they want other
Speaker 1: people in commentary and journalism and whatever to think that
Speaker 1: they're at least they're smart. And that became a big
Speaker 1: peer pressure issue with lockdowns and masking. Anyway, Rand Paul
Speaker 1: among those who have been willing to speak the truth
Speaker 1: on this issue along Rand Paul has been one of
Speaker 1: my favorites. I think Rand Paul is a really excellent
Speaker 1: voice in American politics. I agree with him, you know,
Speaker 1: over ninety percent of the time I think on policy matters.
Speaker 1: And I know he's not a great retail politician, and
Speaker 1: he's just a little he's a little smarmie. It's just
Speaker 1: the way he is. But I also believe that he's
Speaker 1: underrated for his decision making. I think he has very
Speaker 1: good judgment on a whole range of issues, and he's
Speaker 1: been so strong on COVID in lockdown. So the Senator
Speaker 1: from Kentucky here he is play clip one. The scientific
Speaker 1: evidence has been overwhelming, not only now but for months.
Speaker 1: The kids should be back in school. Even the most
Speaker 1: cautious of government experts is saying they should go back
Speaker 1: to school. Around the world, kids have been in person
Speaker 1: learning for nine ten months, sometimes some of them never
Speaker 1: interrupted in person schooling, without surges or without outbreaks. In
Speaker 1: my state, three different Christian schools, Louisville Christian Academy, Calvary
Speaker 1: Christian Academy in Covington, and Rosehill Christian Academy at Ashland
Speaker 1: have been in continuous school in person since last summer
Speaker 1: without significant outbreaks. The evidence is there, but maybe we
Speaker 1: need something even more to get people back in school.
Speaker 1: And the one thing I know that works is competition.
Speaker 1: So I've introduced today a bill called the School Act.
Speaker 1: The School Act says if you have title ones that
Speaker 1: follow a poor child, they should follow the poor child
Speaker 1: wherever they want to go. If there's a school that
Speaker 1: will not open or will not teach them, the poor
Speaker 1: child can go to a private school, religious school, wherever
Speaker 1: they want to go, wherever they think their parents think
Speaker 1: will be a better education. The child can take those
Speaker 1: funds and go there. I'm guessing when kids start flowing
Speaker 1: to other places, the schools will decide to open up.
Speaker 1: But right now, we don't have enough in person learning
Speaker 1: in Kentucky, and I'm going to do everything I can
Speaker 1: to get the schools open. He frames is the right way.
Speaker 1: It's not that schools shouldn't stay closed. That's not nearly
Speaker 1: far enough. Schools never should have been closed. That's what
Speaker 1: all the actual evidence points to, despite the politic fact
Speaker 1: that whatever fact check of me recently where they're all
Speaker 1: coming out of those people are morons, by the way,
Speaker 1: absolute morons, but have acquired some real power to silence
Speaker 1: voices because they've they've presented themselves falsely to social media companies.
Speaker 1: They've they've colluded with social media giants like Facebook to say,
Speaker 1: you know that they are the arbiters of truth. They mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's bizarre, it's absurd, but that's what they do. That.
Speaker 1: That's why when I say school should be open, they
Speaker 1: say partly false. That's that's right. I got an official
Speaker 1: partly false rating on that when I wrote on bucksexten
Speaker 1: dot com where we're putting up great pieces. If you
Speaker 1: haven't read my Texas Reopen and you know, go fouchy
Speaker 1: yourself lockdowners piece at bucksexen dot com. It's still up.
Speaker 1: Please go check it out. And we also have a
Speaker 1: button to listen to the podcast at the top of
Speaker 1: that page, so such an easy way. If you're ever like,
Speaker 1: where do I go? I'm not really a podcast person, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're a website person, right, we all are.
Speaker 1: Go to bucksxen dot com press play at the top
Speaker 1: of the page. So easy, and you know, and I've
Speaker 1: I'm so happy with the way that more people listen
Speaker 1: to this podcast. The more people listen to this podcast,
Speaker 1: that's the way it goes. Or you know, this is
Speaker 1: a radio show, but we have a po pcast of
Speaker 1: the radio show and you got bucksx and dot com
Speaker 1: press play at the top of the page. It's very
Speaker 1: very easy. And this is why our podcast has tripled
Speaker 1: in size beat two and a half times in the
Speaker 1: last twelve months also while this pandemic has been going on,
Speaker 1: because I think that we've been seeing this more clearly
Speaker 1: than other people, including other people in the in the
Speaker 1: conservative commentary space. You know, there a a lot of
Speaker 1: people that were kind of hedging their bets on some
Speaker 1: of this stuff in a way that I thought was
Speaker 1: kind of was pretty weak. We've been we've been keeping
Speaker 1: it real during COVID in the freedom hunt, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: We are already on track to bounce back from this chrysis.
Speaker 1: That's not because of this bill. It's because of our
Speaker 1: work last year. It's the trend this new democratic government inherited.
Speaker 1: We're going to come roaring back, and mostly not because
Speaker 1: of this bill. In fact, in some ways, in spite
Speaker 1: of this film. Yeah, that's that's an important concept. Look,
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you kept problems with Mitch McConnelly.
Speaker 1: I have problems with what he does sometimes too, but
Speaker 1: he is an astute political observer at times. And this
Speaker 1: is the real story of America's come back from COVID,
Speaker 1: is that if Democrats would just not make things worse,
Speaker 1: things would get so much better. If Democrats would just
Speaker 1: improve things, you know, sorry, if Democrats would just not
Speaker 1: ruin things, forget about trying to make things a lot better.
Speaker 1: If they would just stand aside to let the American
Speaker 1: people get back to work and do what they need
Speaker 1: to do, we'd be we all be in really good shape.
Speaker 1: I mean, things would be looking very strong going forward.
Speaker 1: But they're not. They're actually going to make things worse.
Speaker 1: They can't, I mean, they can't help themselves, but this
Speaker 1: is who they are. They're going to make things worse,
Speaker 1: and it's it's disappointing, of course, because I want I
Speaker 1: know this sounds so trite. I know this sounds so saccharin.
Speaker 1: I want what's best for the country. I want the
Speaker 1: country to be doing well, and I want us to
Speaker 1: have our lives back in our freedom back, and I
Speaker 1: want to get past this whole COVID nightmare. Democrats still
Speaker 1: feel like there's a lot they need to get out
Speaker 1: of this. They haven't squeezed all the juice out of
Speaker 1: this lemon yet. That's really that's really the mentality. I mean,
Speaker 1: had they used this yet to address the emergency of
Speaker 1: climate change? No, they have none, So how could they
Speaker 1: move past it? Well, we all understand that's why they're
Speaker 1: trying to extend this as long as they can, and
Speaker 1: they certainly don't want to give any credit to Biden's
Speaker 1: predecessor or anything. Here's Jen Saki play fifteen. You want
Speaker 1: following some of the same playbook here, So does the
Speaker 1: prior administration deserve some credit for laying the groundwork? Which
Speaker 1: ones are we following? Well? For instance, a former Trump
Speaker 1: EHHS Assistant Secretary Admiral Brett Girard, has said that you're
Speaker 1: following ninety nine percent of the playbook they created on vaccines.
Speaker 1: He has said that the prior administration deserves more credit
Speaker 1: here for at least getting the ball rolling a similities.
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone deserves credit when half a million
Speaker 1: people in the country have died of this pandemic. So
Speaker 1: what our focus is on, and when the president's focuses
Speaker 1: on when he came into office just over a month ago,
Speaker 1: was ensuring that we had enough vaccines. We have that
Speaker 1: we are going to have them now, We had enough vaccinators,
Speaker 1: and we had enough vaccine locations to get this pandemic
Speaker 1: under control. There's no question and all data points to
Speaker 1: the fact that there were not enough of any of
Speaker 1: those things when he took office. We are open eyed
Speaker 1: about the challenge we continue to live under, and that's
Speaker 1: why he has been focused every single day and doing
Speaker 1: everything possible to get the pandemic under control. But those
Speaker 1: were there were shortages in all those areas which we're
Speaker 1: preventing us from moving forward on getting the pandemic under control.
Speaker 1: Shortages in all of those areas. Huh, No, no credit notice,
Speaker 1: no credit for anybody. Accept a lot of credit for
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, right, look at the way she did that.
Speaker 1: No credit for the vaccine, but credit for ramping up
Speaker 1: vaccine production. What's the bigger what's the bigger miracle, folks,
Speaker 1: getting a vaccine done in truly record time of one year,
Speaker 1: or a vaccine up upping the number of vaccine that's
Speaker 1: being produced. I just I'm curious which one of those
Speaker 1: things you think is a bigger hurdle. Is it discovering
Speaker 1: the cure or making more of a cure that you're
Speaker 1: already making millions and millions of doses of But Jen
Speaker 1: Sagi says no credit for anybody. What she means is
Speaker 1: no credit for Trump. Of course, between COVID where we
Speaker 1: need to have vaccinations more broadly in the capital so
Speaker 1: that many more people can come here and do their jobs,
Speaker 1: and the threat of them, of all the president's men
Speaker 1: out there, we have to we have to ensure with
Speaker 1: our security that we are safe enough to do our
Speaker 1: job but not impeding. What about this sup those massive
Speaker 1: threat to the Capitol didn't happen. Nothing happened really except
Speaker 1: a lot of troops walking around with nothing to do,
Speaker 1: a lot of barbed wire and big metal fencing and
Speaker 1: makes it look like DC is the DMZ. What the
Speaker 1: heck is this all about? Our friend Jack possobit from
Speaker 1: one American News with US now former naval intelligence officer,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talked about all this, Jack, mister posts.
Speaker 1: So good to see you. Buck, really appreciate being here.
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on. I mean, yesterday I was
Speaker 1: down there. I was boots on the ground. It was
Speaker 1: a harrowing experience. But fortunately I made it out by
Speaker 1: the skin of my neck. Yeah, you made it out, okay.
Speaker 1: I mean there probably were some guys I don't know,
Speaker 1: selling T shirts out there, or you know, it was
Speaker 1: like capital. I saw some photos. I didn't see anybody
Speaker 1: was anything. At one point, I can say that I
Speaker 1: can confirm that at one point a couple walk past me.
Speaker 1: They were walking a dog. I thought at first it
Speaker 1: may be a dangerous dog, like, I know, like a
Speaker 1: pit bull or rottweiler. But it was a Golden Retriever.
Speaker 1: Now I don't know if it was trained for, you know,
Speaker 1: an you know attack, like it was an attack Golden retriever.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, no buck. I was there yesterday. My
Speaker 1: my building, the One American News studio. It's right at
Speaker 1: Constitution Avenue, so literally right out front of the gate
Speaker 1: where we where we go in and out of the
Speaker 1: building is the barricades, the razor wire, and the troops
Speaker 1: with machine guns who every time I film out there,
Speaker 1: it seems like they don't recognize me, even though the
Speaker 1: same guy who does it every day, because they always
Speaker 1: checked me and say, hey, do you credentials? What are
Speaker 1: you doing? What do you? I work here? Right? I
Speaker 1: work here. I was walking around all day. They were
Speaker 1: about they were actually about um the entire militia, the
Speaker 1: Trump's men, the President's men, as as Pelosi called it.
Speaker 1: It ended up being about four people who showed up
Speaker 1: in Magahats saying that they were that they were Trump supporters.
Speaker 1: So I think I think we're calling it the unsurrection.
Speaker 1: It was the unsurrection of March twenty, well, the non surrection.
Speaker 1: We could go a lot of a lot of things here, Jack.
Speaker 1: What was the you know, it's always amazing to be
Speaker 1: how many of these lib journals out there no so
Speaker 1: much more than I do about QAnon. The usually things
Speaker 1: that are supposedly on the right or on the right
Speaker 1: in some capacity. I'm educated educating all the liberals on.
Speaker 1: But they are they are experts. These people have PhDs
Speaker 1: now and q aon. Uh. What was the supposed that
Speaker 1: the threat that Pelosi was so worried about was that
Speaker 1: there was a QAnon internet posting about how Trump was
Speaker 1: actually gonna take office yesterday, Right, wasn't that what it was? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So someone posted and for anyone who isn't you know,
Speaker 1: up to speed on their qan on knowledge, Um, they
Speaker 1: they posted on these anonymous message boards on the Internet.
Speaker 1: That's very hard for you know, for anyone to finds
Speaker 1: to keep taking them down. Change in the title of it.
Speaker 1: But the idea was so March fourth historically used to
Speaker 1: be inauguration day. It was later changed January. And so
Speaker 1: there were people who were thinking that there was a
Speaker 1: secret plan afoot and that Trump would actually be brought
Speaker 1: in using that original inauguration date of March fourth. And
Speaker 1: so this then, because somebody wrote that somewhere on the Internet,
Speaker 1: not even on four Chan, it's even a lesser known
Speaker 1: sight than four Chan, the entire media took that post
Speaker 1: and blew it up to astronomical proportions. The FBI, the
Speaker 1: DHS were writing assessments on it. Fuck and I know
Speaker 1: you and I both know what that means. And they
Speaker 1: actually shut down US government yesterday, They shut down the
Speaker 1: House of Representatives. They had troops marching because of an
Speaker 1: internet post anonymously on a message board. Unbelievable. And Jack
Speaker 1: and I both have written threat assessments in our day,
Speaker 1: Jack for the military and me for the CIA. So
Speaker 1: you know, Jack, I think it's it's important for everybody
Speaker 1: realize threat reporting. If you're not going to Gaye's credibility
Speaker 1: or if you're just gonna we live in a world
Speaker 1: of constant threat reporting. It's a fire hose every day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're going to take every social media posed that
Speaker 1: some guy fires off because they're mad at whatever and
Speaker 1: act as if that's some kind of actual threat, people
Speaker 1: would be you'd be floored, right, that's going on everywhere
Speaker 1: all the time. The Internet releases the inner it of
Speaker 1: you know, anyone that really goes on there, especially through
Speaker 1: the cloak of anonymimity that is available to so many
Speaker 1: of these sites, and it's it's actually been a place
Speaker 1: where people can just kind of release their their you know,
Speaker 1: pent up anger and frustration in many of these cases.
Speaker 1: But for our intelligence community to use this, for our
Speaker 1: government to use this, and for politicians to use this,
Speaker 1: We've literally got to the point now where we are
Speaker 1: taking these far left wing conspiracies, that's what they are,
Speaker 1: and we're using them to run our government. So I'm
Speaker 1: taking a switch on it. So we had, we had
Speaker 1: the unsurrection, we had Joe Biden's un inauguration. So I'm
Speaker 1: calling this now instead of and on, this is blue
Speaker 1: and on. This is all blue and on, meaning that
Speaker 1: blue checks on social media are the ones who are
Speaker 1: blowing completely and it's really they're blowing these this alleged
Speaker 1: threat of another insurrection or coup or whatever out of proportion.
Speaker 1: But but Jack, and we're speaking to Jack Pisobic of
Speaker 1: of One American News here. Jack, to me, this is
Speaker 1: it's intentional. They at some level. A lot of them
Speaker 1: have to know that this is absurd, but they like
Speaker 1: the theatrics. Well. See, people need to understand two things now.
Speaker 1: Number one is the entire time that Joe Biden has
Speaker 1: been in office, and I've heard of him as the
Speaker 1: current occupant of the White House, the entire time Washington,
Speaker 1: DC has been under military occupation even before he occupied
Speaker 1: that office. So you know, for those of you who
Speaker 1: aren't in the district right, I'm I can't park my car.
Speaker 1: I literally can't park my car because there are barricades,
Speaker 1: razor wire, and soldiers with machine guns blocking the way.
Speaker 1: This has been every single day Joe Biden's been in office,
Speaker 1: and the local residence of DC are fed up with it.
Speaker 1: You've got even the DC representative for the district, who's
Speaker 1: a Democrat or revered Democrat, She's come out against this. You'
Speaker 1: even had Amy Klobascher in the Senate saying, look, this
Speaker 1: is untenable. We cannot continue this. It is Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, and Joe Biden who's basically doing their bidding
Speaker 1: that is continuing this, and the fact that it's still
Speaker 1: going on, that we're forcing these soldiers to be out there.
Speaker 1: It's quite cold in DC right now. It's March, by
Speaker 1: the way, it's incredibly windy, and it's twenty four to
Speaker 1: seven that they're standing this watch. It's ridiculous. This is
Speaker 1: the twenty first century. If we're worried about something, if
Speaker 1: you have a credible threat, then go arrest them, right.
Speaker 1: There's no need for this level of physical security in
Speaker 1: a day and age where we have drones, where we
Speaker 1: have we can you know, sting rays, and we can
Speaker 1: track cell phones, et cetera, et cetera. There's absolutely no
Speaker 1: reason for this other than trying to turn us into
Speaker 1: some kind of totalitarian, dystopian hunger games nightmare vision of
Speaker 1: what the United States should be. Explain to me what
Speaker 1: the heck is going on here with this this new
Speaker 1: story just from today that Lieutenant General Russell Honorey has
Speaker 1: recommended twenty four seven quick Reaction force a QRF for
Speaker 1: the military folks out there of DC Guard to protect
Speaker 1: the capital in his Pelosi ordered review of the Maga riot.
Speaker 1: What a QRF in addition check to the thousands of troops.
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is like they think that a
Speaker 1: brigade size Taliban force is going to descend on the
Speaker 1: capital any moment, except of course it's Maga not Taliban. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the level of deployment that we saw early
Speaker 1: on with the twenty six thousand. I mean, that's the
Speaker 1: type of force you would need if like the Chinese
Speaker 1: were coming up to Chesapeake Bay Rights, or or the
Speaker 1: Russian Akulas that's their submarines were spotted going going past Norfolk.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is not it's it's just completely unrealistic
Speaker 1: what anyone's possibly thinking of. This is the type of
Speaker 1: force you would need for a state on state level conflict.
Speaker 1: If this is I mean, you've worked counter terrorism. This
Speaker 1: is not how we do if there was an actual
Speaker 1: terrorist threat. This is not how you would deal with
Speaker 1: it any way, shape or form. You go as David petrayus,
Speaker 1: you go as the coin. This is actually the opposite
Speaker 1: of coin strategy. By the way, if you go and
Speaker 1: remember the David Patrey stuffs, even though it didn't work, though, well,
Speaker 1: this is the exact opposite of what you're supposed to
Speaker 1: do because because for the reason being for people who
Speaker 1: aren't read up on that is because when you create
Speaker 1: such a massive target like this, people have said it
Speaker 1: actually upsets the populist and potentially increases the occurrence of
Speaker 1: this happening. Speaking of Jack Posobic of One America News Network, Jack,
Speaker 1: I feel like they're going to continue this as long
Speaker 1: as they can, because this is this is kind of
Speaker 1: a fundamental plank now of the Democrat Biden administration that
Speaker 1: they are under that whatever they do is just defied
Speaker 1: by this premise that the actual government itself is under
Speaker 1: mortal threat from the opposition, meaning Trump voters. And I
Speaker 1: think they're going to keep extending this as long as
Speaker 1: they can. Look, Folks, when the histories of this are written,
Speaker 1: and whether we're writing them or the schools are pushing
Speaker 1: some government line at us, you have to tell everyone
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden and his coterie of oligarchs occupied our
Speaker 1: capital city for the entire first few months of his administration.
Speaker 1: They brought in the military, they brought an armed guards
Speaker 1: and razor wire to establish the Joe Biden administration. What
Speaker 1: they do with that remains to be seen, But we
Speaker 1: cannot allow this fact to escape us. This is our city,
Speaker 1: right Remember last year? Last year, hundreds of cities across
Speaker 1: the United States saw violence that was higher than any
Speaker 1: year since the nineteen nineties, homicide and violent crimes massive rise. Right,
Speaker 1: But in some of those states, we couldn't even get
Speaker 1: the National Guard. Why because they had democratic governors from California,
Speaker 1: New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, no National Guard was called in.
Speaker 1: Even though these these lootings, these riots, these attacks were
Speaker 1: taking place night after night Minneapolis and so Minneapolis, they
Speaker 1: almost burned down the police precinct up there. In Seattle,
Speaker 1: they took over the armed militants, took over six blocks
Speaker 1: of an entire of the downtown capital was there at
Speaker 1: the Chaz right. Yet in DC there was one and
Speaker 1: albeit yes it was a violent riot that took place,
Speaker 1: there were a small percentage of people that became violent.
Speaker 1: Yet they have used that to create the political theater,
Speaker 1: to remind everyone who has power keeping behind Buck, they
Speaker 1: know exactly what they're doing here. They are sending a
Speaker 1: message to each and every American out there that if
Speaker 1: you dissent, this is what you will get. Jack, what
Speaker 1: what can you tell us about why we haven't yet
Speaker 1: and we're speaking of Jack Pisobic of One America News,
Speaker 1: we haven't yet been able to get an explanation, an
Speaker 1: official explanation for the death of Officer Brian sickniic I
Speaker 1: just at what point is it clear this is some
Speaker 1: kind of this is intentional withholding, and it's because they
Speaker 1: don't want people to know the truth. Well, but this
Speaker 1: is part of the two tier justice system that we've
Speaker 1: been talking about for years. Now Here in the United States,
Speaker 1: they will use the power of the FBI and their
Speaker 1: fully pulpit to crowdsource the doxing of maga, grandmas and
Speaker 1: teenagers who were completely peaceful walking around taking selfies inside
Speaker 1: the United States Capital. Felt they were on tour. They
Speaker 1: didn't even break past the velvet ropes. We can all
Speaker 1: see that. But why haven't we seen any of the footage,
Speaker 1: the supposed footage that they tell us they have of
Speaker 1: Officer sick nic Not a single image of that video
Speaker 1: has come out. They claim there's a suspect now that
Speaker 1: originally they said it was a fire extinguisher and that
Speaker 1: he was bashed in the head, and it was this
Speaker 1: terrible thing. It was brought up in the impeachment trial.
Speaker 1: It was used to great political theater by Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker 1: and of course, obviously we we don't want that to happen.
Speaker 1: We honor his service. But she said she used this
Speaker 1: as a political weapon against Trump and against Trump supporters.
Speaker 1: Yet when the actual facts come out, it turns out
Speaker 1: there was no fire extinguisher. They're now saying that the
Speaker 1: latest theory is that he had a bad reaction to
Speaker 1: some bear spray. They say there's footage of an individual
Speaker 1: spraying bear spray, and yet they won't release that footage. Instead,
Speaker 1: the FBI is going around to Maga Granad moms who
Speaker 1: many of them didn't even go into the Capitol, and
Speaker 1: if they did, we're doing so peacefully. Buck again, the government,
Speaker 1: the establishment is sending everyone a message, Jack Posobic everybody
Speaker 1: one American news network. Go check out Jack's latest there
Speaker 1: and Jackman, stay safe, watch out, watch out for those
Speaker 1: crazy unsurrectionists on the streets at DC. You take care
Speaker 1: of yourself, all right. I think I see a pigeon.
Speaker 1: Hold on, I gotta go. In order to open these stores,
Speaker 1: we do not say open sesame. We say open Biden.
Speaker 1: That's our magic word for open Biden. I love it. Ope, Ope,
Speaker 1: open Biden. You know what the stars, guys, Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden are the two most powerful Democrats in
Speaker 1: the United States of America and Nancy Pelosi and Joe
Speaker 1: Biden are too old to be doing this. Okay, there there, there,
Speaker 1: there is a life cycle, there's a clock, there's a look.
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why I'm concerned about Trump
Speaker 1: even I've been running at you know, running at seventy seven,
Speaker 1: seventy eight years old for president, and what are we
Speaker 1: gonna start having people running in their mid eighties? Get
Speaker 1: We're gonna elect somebody to be president when they're ninety.
Speaker 1: Is that really where we're heading with all this? Anyway?
Speaker 1: I mean, just you know, Nancy Pelosi. Democrats pretend to
Speaker 1: be serious people that think through things, and then then
Speaker 1: then they have Nancy Pelosi as a Speaker of the House.
Speaker 1: I just can't let that go. It's not something that
Speaker 1: I'm able to speak speaking of people who are too
Speaker 1: old for the job. Here's here's the birth Bernie Sands.
Speaker 1: It's been a long time. We haven't heard from mister
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders in a very long time. He has not
Speaker 1: really fully come forward to tell us what he has
Speaker 1: been up to. We are missing the burn. The burn
Speaker 1: should be with us more because he's a socialist and
Speaker 1: write out Democrats are pushing for their socialism without everybody
Speaker 1: actually saying what it is. Bernie is upfront about it here.
Speaker 1: He is play sixteen. He got young people who want
Speaker 1: to go to school, want to socialize, want to date,
Speaker 1: want to do things that young people do, and they
Speaker 1: can't do it. And I've been unable to do that
Speaker 1: for the last year, and that has resulted in a
Speaker 1: very sharp increase in mental illness in this country. Something
Speaker 1: by the way that this legislation also deals with. Bernie's
Speaker 1: right about the dangers and the problems of the lockdown
Speaker 1: is what it's done to people. But you know that
Speaker 1: this COVID bill is not actually going to solve all
Speaker 1: of this, as we know that. But they're using it
Speaker 1: and they're exploiting it, as we know they do with everything.
Speaker 1: And it's just so it's so disappointed. You'd think that
Speaker 1: during a global pandemic, some of the more partisan impulses
Speaker 1: of the left could at least be I know they
Speaker 1: would never be gone, but they would at least be
Speaker 1: downplayed a bit. But that has certainly not, certainly not happened.
Speaker 1: In fact of anything, it ignites, it exacerbates extreme partisanship.
Speaker 1: Partisanship in the Democrat mine. One one story that I
Speaker 1: want you to start to think about, because it's going
Speaker 1: to be a big story we're talking about here in
Speaker 1: the weeks ahead on the show Minneapolis. I know we've
Speaker 1: got We've got a great audience up in Minneapolis on
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show, So thank you all for listening.
Speaker 1: Minneapolis spends more than one million dollars on barricades ahead
Speaker 1: of the Derek Chauvin trial next week. Order the Daily
Speaker 1: Bail here the Derek Chauvin trial for the murder of
Speaker 1: George Floyd. Businesses are terrified and rightly show of what's
Speaker 1: going to happen. Here's what the Daily Wires, sorry, the
Speaker 1: Daily Mail is reporting. Barbed wire and metal barricades have
Speaker 1: been erected around the Hennepin County Courthouse, where Chauvin's murder
Speaker 1: trial is set to start this Monday with jury selection. City, state,
Speaker 1: and federal leaders have had been holding security briefings dubbed
Speaker 1: Operations Safety Net. The multi agency security plan includes closures
Speaker 1: of certain public buildings and streets, and extra security cops
Speaker 1: and National Guard deployed. Small business owners are boarding up
Speaker 1: their windows, erecting fencing. Coalition of seventeen activist groups have
Speaker 1: vowed to stage a peaceful protest Monday and throughout the trial.
Speaker 1: We'll see how peaceful it is. Some city officials are
Speaker 1: concerned about where this is going to go. A billion
Speaker 1: dollars worth of damage and fifteen hundred businesses in Minneapolis
Speaker 1: during the BLM riots before we're impacted, Thenapolis, I'm praying
Speaker 1: for you, but batting down the hatches Rock and roll,

Speaker 1: much paperwork and stuff is involved in these things, you know,
Speaker 1: you signed your life away. You just it's just so much,
Speaker 1: and you're always thinking like what do I and you know,
Speaker 1: you go through his paperwork and then all it takes
Speaker 1: is one annoying neighbor and you're like, God, I wish
Speaker 1: I hadn't moved here in the first place. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've heard of hoa horror stories, which is something that
Speaker 1: you have to deal with with a condo. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, well that's exciting though moving out to the
Speaker 1: island of Strong known as Strong Island, that'll be fun.
Speaker 1: Not the first time I've lived there, so yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, you're a Strong Island guy, Brucer Marks Queen's guy.
Speaker 1: Hold on, Yeah, but we're really talking about the geographic
Speaker 1: landmasks Long Island, though Queens is technically a part of
Speaker 1: Long Island. Cake, but it's not you know, you know,
Speaker 1: I gotta do it, I gotta do it with with
Speaker 1: our our buddy Ryan grew dusky. I saw him recently
Speaker 1: and uh, and I was making fun of him because
Speaker 1: he kept saying he's from New York. And I was like, Bryan,
Speaker 1: I mean, Ryan, you're You're not from New York, You're
Speaker 1: from Queens. He ated that. Yeah, that is just offensive, yeah,

Speaker 1: just calling it like I see it. I'm taking the
Speaker 1: snow Princess out this weekend. We're gonna get some Mexican food.
Speaker 1: Because for me, that's like if if I'm just going,
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna really you know, get an in a
Speaker 1: festive mood. Mexican food really does it for me. I
Speaker 1: like it. So I'm taking the snow Princess out. We're
Speaker 1: gonna grabetive. Yeah, I get festive. Do you like wear sobrero? No,
Speaker 1: not like that, sir. I do not culturally appropriate Mexican culture.
Speaker 1: I just eat their food. Good heavens, Good heavens. Sounded
Speaker 1: like you wanted to get festive. Well, I just spent,
Speaker 1: you know, in general, like if I have a couple
Speaker 1: a couple of margaritas, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get after it a little bit. Disagree is one of
Speaker 1: my favorite producer Mark. Now, we don't have to, we
Speaker 1: don't have to, you know, go there, but we both
Speaker 1: know that finding a sombrero that would fit my head
Speaker 1: would also. I'd have to get a special order sombrero.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if that's possible. You'd have to
Speaker 1: get one of those novelty ones you see in those
Speaker 1: like shops when you're on vacation. Yeah, I would have
Speaker 1: to wear the sombrero that other people wear, the where
Speaker 1: they have like the giant like fuzzy finger kind of
Speaker 1: a thing, like it's intentionally too big. I'd have to
Speaker 1: get that sombrero. And even then, I'm not sure it
Speaker 1: would really fit. You know, I do have my special
Speaker 1: my special sized hat now. So I finally, after so
Speaker 1: many years of adulthood, I finally have a baseball cap
Speaker 1: that fits normally over my head because I found an
Speaker 1: internet site with the'll make hats for people with giant noggins. Well,
Speaker 1: it's just a baseball cap. Yeah, it's like white, white
Speaker 1: and like navy blue hat. That's what I have. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I don't think they I don't think they can.
Speaker 1: They don't pay them. You know, you have to, like,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna wear a Mets hat, like that's Mets merchandise,
Speaker 1: technically you gotta. So this is just like we will
Speaker 1: make you a hat, large head person, and that's what
Speaker 1: I am, so good thing. I'm not trying to buy
Speaker 1: you a methat. I don't even know if I've been
Speaker 1: able to find that size. Yeah, I had to go
Speaker 1: to you know, big big bigheadhat dot com or something
Speaker 1: size would you be like in a fitted hat proson
Speaker 1: marked weirdly have to go it doesn't exist, buddy, I'm
Speaker 1: just curious. I'm the I'm the I go into a
Speaker 1: fitted hat store. Kid. This is to happen when I
Speaker 1: was younger too, and I'm like, excu smith, sir, I
Speaker 1: would like to buy a baseball hat so I can
Speaker 1: look cool like all the rest of my peers. And
Speaker 1: they're like, all right, young man. They like try to
Speaker 1: like you know, They're like here you go, and I'm like, yes,
Speaker 1: I want a Yankees hat. Don't make fun of me.
Speaker 1: I want a Yankees hat. And I would try to
Speaker 1: put it on and they're like it doesn't really fit.
Speaker 1: And then they try to, and I'm like, you're not
Speaker 1: actually gonna make my skull smaller. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: So they would try to pull it down over my
Speaker 1: head and it wouldn't work, and then I'd feel sad.
Speaker 1: And then there was the sadness because I wasn't normal
Speaker 1: because my head was too big. So I think I
Speaker 1: told you this true story. I had to when I
Speaker 1: was a baby. This is this is actually real. I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not even kidding. When I'm a baby, uh
Speaker 1: my mom had to at the pediatrician's um you know,
Speaker 1: advice or whatever. Pediatrician's orders. I had to come in
Speaker 1: i think every like three weeks or four weeks for
Speaker 1: the first six months, and they took a tape measure
Speaker 1: around my head because my head was just on the
Speaker 1: borderline of being so big that they were like, maybe
Speaker 1: there's a problem and they might have to like drain
Speaker 1: fluid or something. That's how big my head was. Your
Speaker 1: poor mother, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So we had to
Speaker 1: go in and do a tape measure around my head.
Speaker 1: But I was I was always yes, all right, you jerk,
Speaker 1: but but I will tell you you, oh, I always
Speaker 1: was technically normal. Like I was ninety eighth percentile, but
Speaker 1: I was always technically normal for for for a headsize,
Speaker 1: so you know, so you can't I wasn't a weird
Speaker 1: oh okay, but I was pretty close. All right, Let's
Speaker 1: get into what the folks think about all this. He
Speaker 1: can write into emails until produce mark. He's being a
Speaker 1: big meanie Mike Buck. As a Mississippi resident, I've been
Speaker 1: critical of our governor's handling of the Wuhan flu and
Speaker 1: give him little to no credit for reopening. My gut
Speaker 1: instinct is that he's only reopening now because he's hoping
Speaker 1: he can prevent a primary challenge when he's up for reelection.
Speaker 1: There's been significant criticism of him by other Republicans in
Speaker 1: the state, and he was a really weak rhino that
Speaker 1: was lucky to win in his first term. Still, I'm
Speaker 1: thankful some of the forest will be ending here Shields high. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I gotta tell you, I think this is
Speaker 1: something that I didn't really I was. I've told you this.
Speaker 1: I get so happy at the notion of reopened. I'm
Speaker 1: so enthusiastic about reopen that I didn't Usually I'm very
Speaker 1: I don't like to say that I'm cynical, but I
Speaker 1: a I take a hyper realistic view of things. That's
Speaker 1: just my That's how I view everything, personal relationship, professional,
Speaker 1: world politics. I'm just I'm hyper realistic and it can
Speaker 1: be very useful for being correct, but you know, it
Speaker 1: also means that sometimes maybe you come across as a
Speaker 1: little bit cynical or a little bit Judgmentalum. On this one,
Speaker 1: I got a little I got a little romanticize, like Yay,
Speaker 1: Mississippi and Texas are opening, and and then it's like, uh,
Speaker 1: but they're not really up. But you know, the day
Speaker 1: a day later, I had to be you know, the
Speaker 1: usual buck had to kick in, as they are right,
Speaker 1: they're not really reopening. They're not really doing what they
Speaker 1: said they're gonna do. So that's gotta gotta keep that
Speaker 1: in mind. That's where where this also is. Um. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're really look it matters. I mean I was right
Speaker 1: to be happy about the policy. I'm not saying that,
Speaker 1: but there were other factors I involved in the Texas
Speaker 1: and Mississippi decisions. And Governor Reeves from what I just said,
Speaker 1: people have said he's really not been good on this.
Speaker 1: I know, Governor Abbott hasn't been good on this all long,
Speaker 1: So Mike, very very very fair points man. And by
Speaker 1: the way, I'm with you. I'm still I'm thankful that
Speaker 1: some of the forests will be ending here. You wrote,
Speaker 1: that's where I I just wanted to stop, right, I
Speaker 1: just want the madness to stop. Alex rights heybucking Mark.
Speaker 1: As a fellow New Yorker, I'm tired of everyone beating
Speaker 1: up on the Big Apple. Like you, I love New
Speaker 1: York City, even though we're going through a rough patch.
Speaker 1: The city has been knocked down before and has always rebounded.
Speaker 1: My wife and I are currently in the process of
Speaker 1: buying a place in Chelsea. I'm putting my money where
Speaker 1: my mouth is and placing a bet on New York
Speaker 1: City's triumphant return. If everyone bails, the place will definitely
Speaker 1: go down in flames. Let's keep our shields high and
Speaker 1: protect New York City. Love the show. I listen every
Speaker 1: day and never miss a chance to pass the buck. Alex,
Speaker 1: thank you so much and appreciate your support. And it's
Speaker 1: good to have other sound thinkers here in New York City.
Speaker 1: And yeah, look, I mean I love New York I've
Speaker 1: been a New Yorker my whole life, and I've been
Speaker 1: somebody who defended this place for years and years when
Speaker 1: everyone's telling me to leave and everything else. It just
Speaker 1: has been so hard to like this place. With the
Speaker 1: taxes and the nonsense and the craziness that's been going on.
Speaker 1: It's been a real challenge. And you know, I think
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that it comes back sooner than even I
Speaker 1: would anticipate. So Alex, I hear you on all that,
Speaker 1: and I would like the city to go back to
Speaker 1: what it was. New York used to be special enough
Speaker 1: that even with all the downside, I never question why
Speaker 1: I was living here. This last year has been the
Speaker 1: first time where I really felt like it wasn't the
Speaker 1: tradeoff wasn't worth it. You know. Maybe it's like if
Speaker 1: you're in your personal relationships with personal life, maybe some
Speaker 1: of you have dated somebody, you know, before you're married,
Speaker 1: you dated somebody who you always felt like, well, maybe
Speaker 1: they've got this shortcoming or that shortcoming, but there's one
Speaker 1: thing about them. For some of the guys, it might
Speaker 1: be she's really hot. For some of the girls, it
Speaker 1: might be, you know, he's really funny or whatever, right,
Speaker 1: but there was something that overcame whatever your qualms were
Speaker 1: for me. It's like this year in New York City
Speaker 1: was the first time looking at my relationship in New
Speaker 1: York City. I thought, I don't know, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I don't know if you're pulling your weight in
Speaker 1: this relationship New York. You know, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know if you're really getting it done anymore. So I
Speaker 1: hope that that changes, you know, I hope that that changes,
Speaker 1: John Buck, I heard a few nights ago you like chinchillas,
Speaker 1: and I thought that if you wanted one, you can
Speaker 1: train them to become more diurnal. If you want a
Speaker 1: small critter, you can adapt to your schedule. A ferret
Speaker 1: is ideal as they will adjust to you and they
Speaker 1: sleep eighteen hours a day. So John, you know, ferrets
Speaker 1: are actually a surprisingly popular pet that I've read. I
Speaker 1: don't think you're allowed to have them in New York City.
Speaker 1: And I also there's something about a ferret that's I
Speaker 1: would always be worried it's and this is just I know,
Speaker 1: maybe this is my anti ferret bias coming out. You know,
Speaker 1: did you know that was a thing, Producer Mark, Because
Speaker 1: I just came up with a term that's new. Yeah,
Speaker 1: new anti ferret bias is that I always feel like
Speaker 1: a ferret is gonna bite me. There's something about them,
Speaker 1: maybe because they're, you know, a weasel or related to weasels,
Speaker 1: and and I just feel like a ferret's gonna bite me.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. Um. So you're saying
Speaker 1: you'd rather have things like an otter in your home
Speaker 1: or a fox, and you're not worried about them biting
Speaker 1: you or anything, but a ferret is you're lying. Yeah, really,
Speaker 1: an otter is not gonna bite you, dude. They're always
Speaker 1: chilling on their back, cracking open mollusks. Otter the otter.
Speaker 1: But a fox, no fox is a little that. I'm
Speaker 1: a little crazy on that one. Yeah. Debrah aka snow
Speaker 1: Princess actually pulled up a photo on her phone of
Speaker 1: what a fox's teeth looked like, and they are. They
Speaker 1: have like, uh like canines that are super long and
Speaker 1: sharp and look like razor blades. So like, yes, technically
Speaker 1: that's probably not. But I mean otter looks like it's
Speaker 1: just smoked a blunt or something. He's on his back,
Speaker 1: he's chilling. Otters. Every photo look out of an otter.
Speaker 1: It looks like they're cracking open a can of pringles
Speaker 1: and just hanging out in the in the water. It's
Speaker 1: it's like it's like me on pool day. So I
Speaker 1: can't I don't even have a response, so I'm just saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying an otter would be be a great
Speaker 1: I need somebody on Team Buck who has a pet
Speaker 1: otter to write in and send us some photos, like
Speaker 1: I know one of you does. I know we have
Speaker 1: millions of people who listen. I know I usually say
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands. I'm actually being modest. We actually now
Speaker 1: have millions of people, um, you know, a month a
Speaker 1: month who are listening to this show. So I need
Speaker 1: one of you Team Buck who has a pet otter
Speaker 1: or a pet fox or both. You gotta write in,
Speaker 1: tell us what it's like and send us some photos.
Speaker 1: So that likely a zookeeper or an aquarium worker, yeah,
Speaker 1: or somebody who might it's probably somebody who has an
Speaker 1: animal rescue. I'm sure we got somebody with an animal
Speaker 1: rescue out there, but you know, tell us what they're like,
Speaker 1: because I'm really curious, and you can tell me if
Speaker 1: if I'm completely crazy that I think these would be
Speaker 1: fun pets. More roll call to kick us off into
Speaker 1: the weekend, Chuck hey Buck and producer Bark. Here's a
Speaker 1: quick observation for your next roll call. People often call
Speaker 1: Joe Biden creepy Joe, but have you noticed how creepy
Speaker 1: it is that Kamala Harris shadows him at almost every
Speaker 1: move he makes. She's always lurking behind him when he
Speaker 1: speak at the podium or shuffling around the room. It's
Speaker 1: almost like she's standing bidy to flect questions. Um, I
Speaker 1: don't mean, Chuck, I think that she's the vice president.
Speaker 1: I think the vice president is usually in the background
Speaker 1: all the time. I don't. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: find that one. I don't know, Chuck, I gotta think
Speaker 1: more of I don't. I don't really see that one.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, but I appreciate your writing
Speaker 1: in and maybe I'm maybe I'm. I also don't watch
Speaker 1: that middy Biden speeches. To be honest with you, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't really spend a lot of time thinking about
Speaker 1: what Biden's next words will be because I think Biden
Speaker 1: doesn't really here a real over prompter. I'm gonna read
Speaker 1: some more words, and I'm gonna look with squinty eyes
Speaker 1: into the camera and maybe I'll start yelling for no
Speaker 1: apparent reason. Then I'll have a little bit of blonde
Speaker 1: hairs on my legs and the kids will come by.
Speaker 1: And I'm from Delaware, but sometimes I like to sound
Speaker 1: like I'm from a different part of the country because
Speaker 1: it makes me seem more approachable. Man. Yeah, anyway, you
Speaker 1: got the Joe Biden guys. Guys deeply, deeply inept and unimpressive.
Speaker 1: But this is who the president is. Let's see here, TJ. Buck.
Speaker 1: Having Trump primary and critical Republicans and red districts is
Speaker 1: all well and good. But getting good Republican candidates and
Speaker 1: purple districts currently blue districts I think should be the
Speaker 1: bigger priority for twenty twenty two. For example, I live
Speaker 1: in the third Congressional Congressional district of Iowa, where our
Speaker 1: current US representative Democrat Cindy Asney one with forty nine
Speaker 1: percent vote against a milktoast David Young, who lost his
Speaker 1: incumbency to her in twenty eighteen. By comparison, though Trump
Speaker 1: actually won the third district in vote count fifty percent. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't have the time of the resources. I'm sure
Speaker 1: this is not the only example of congressional districts where
Speaker 1: Trump won but the Republican congressional candidate lost. Will be
Speaker 1: good to see Trump's new pack target and support new
Speaker 1: and better candidates for such districts, in addition to those
Speaker 1: Republicans who have been critical against Trump as in fact,
Speaker 1: as I said earlier, districts like mine should probably take
Speaker 1: priority over those where Republicans already sit tj astute observations.
Speaker 1: I do believe that Trump will be helping to pick
Speaker 1: who he thinks they're strong candidates too. It won't just
Speaker 1: be it won't just be shooting down bad Republican candidates. Team.
Speaker 1: We are at weekend time now. Thank you so much
