1
00:00:11,697 --> 00:00:14,737
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, let make

2
00:00:14,777 --> 00:00:17,697
Speaker 1: sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app

3
00:00:17,897 --> 00:00:19,977
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts.

4
00:00:20,537 --> 00:00:22,937
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Buck Brief everybody. It looks like the

5
00:00:23,097 --> 00:00:28,337
Speaker 2: speaker's fight is well going to go on hiatus, which

6
00:00:28,697 --> 00:00:32,497
Speaker 2: isn't really what I think anybody was hoping for the

7
00:00:32,537 --> 00:00:35,937
Speaker 2: first time around. I don't think that this shows that

8
00:00:35,977 --> 00:00:39,097
Speaker 2: there was some grand strategic plan in all of this.

9
00:00:39,857 --> 00:00:44,417
Speaker 2: It looks like you will have a president, I'm sorry,

10
00:00:44,457 --> 00:00:47,817
Speaker 2: a Speaker pro temp who will be in this role,

11
00:00:47,897 --> 00:00:50,857
Speaker 2: Patrick McHenry, and he will be leading the House for

12
00:00:50,937 --> 00:00:56,017
Speaker 2: a period of time. Jim Jordan has now endorsed this plan,

13
00:00:56,297 --> 00:00:59,617
Speaker 2: and so it will last for at least a few months,

14
00:00:59,657 --> 00:01:04,417
Speaker 2: I think until January, because there were holdouts who would

15
00:01:04,537 --> 00:01:09,417
Speaker 2: not switch their votes, would not turn things around so

16
00:01:09,457 --> 00:01:12,657
Speaker 2: we could get a Republican speaker. I think this is

17
00:01:12,697 --> 00:01:17,057
Speaker 2: a reminder to everybody that a lot of what happens

18
00:01:17,137 --> 00:01:19,137
Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill, and a lot of the politics that

19
00:01:19,177 --> 00:01:24,857
Speaker 2: we all focus on, it's really much more about personalities

20
00:01:25,217 --> 00:01:29,297
Speaker 2: and sometimes narcissism than anything else. What exactly was the

21
00:01:29,297 --> 00:01:32,737
Speaker 2: purpose of kicking out Kevin McCarthy again, so that now

22
00:01:32,737 --> 00:01:35,417
Speaker 2: we can have a speaker pro tempt for a few

23
00:01:35,417 --> 00:01:39,017
Speaker 2: months and then figure something else out. Look, if I

24
00:01:39,017 --> 00:01:43,937
Speaker 2: thought this was going to have positive long term implications

25
00:01:43,977 --> 00:01:47,857
Speaker 2: for the chance of Republicans actually winning a majority in

26
00:01:47,897 --> 00:01:50,737
Speaker 2: the House, I would say, Okay, you know, winning a

27
00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:53,377
Speaker 2: bigger majority of the House next time around. But it

28
00:01:53,377 --> 00:01:57,257
Speaker 2: seems to me like this is internal squabbling that is

29
00:01:57,457 --> 00:02:00,737
Speaker 2: likely to only make things more difficult for our side,

30
00:02:00,777 --> 00:02:05,217
Speaker 2: that this is likely to change things in ways that well,

31
00:02:05,577 --> 00:02:07,897
Speaker 2: it probably won't do very much, to be perfectly frank

32
00:02:07,937 --> 00:02:12,137
Speaker 2: and honest with you, but it is an indicator of

33
00:02:12,457 --> 00:02:15,497
Speaker 2: a bit of disarray at lack of leadership. But I

34
00:02:15,537 --> 00:02:18,817
Speaker 2: don't find the speaker fight to be and you know this,

35
00:02:19,297 --> 00:02:21,737
Speaker 2: I don't find it to be that consequential either way.

36
00:02:22,577 --> 00:02:27,297
Speaker 2: What I do find consequential is that Democrats right now

37
00:02:28,577 --> 00:02:34,897
Speaker 2: are speaking out about Israel, and some of them, Joe Biden,

38
00:02:35,617 --> 00:02:39,337
Speaker 2: John Fetterman, there are some others involved in this as

39
00:02:39,337 --> 00:02:43,217
Speaker 2: well as Chuck Schumer, are saying things that are what

40
00:02:43,257 --> 00:02:45,897
Speaker 2: you would want to hear about US support for Israel

41
00:02:45,977 --> 00:02:48,457
Speaker 2: right now. And this goes to what I've been talking

42
00:02:48,497 --> 00:02:53,577
Speaker 2: about all along here, which is the complexity of the

43
00:02:53,617 --> 00:02:57,857
Speaker 2: Democrat positioning on the issue of Israel. Specifically, they will

44
00:02:57,897 --> 00:03:03,817
Speaker 2: allow the craziest of their side. They will allow the

45
00:03:04,017 --> 00:03:08,577
Speaker 2: far left, the radicals to say things that are clearly

46
00:03:08,697 --> 00:03:14,457
Speaker 2: anti Israel, anti submitted pro terror. They won't call that out.

47
00:03:14,577 --> 00:03:16,977
Speaker 2: But at the very top of the Democrat power structure,

48
00:03:17,777 --> 00:03:21,977
Speaker 2: there's actually no room for that belief. They won't allow

49
00:03:22,017 --> 00:03:25,017
Speaker 2: that right. So Joe Biden. Even if you go back

50
00:03:25,057 --> 00:03:28,457
Speaker 2: and look at the way Barack Obama, who is considered

51
00:03:28,457 --> 00:03:32,777
Speaker 2: a particularly even for a Democrat, Obama was a particularly

52
00:03:33,617 --> 00:03:38,257
Speaker 2: anti Israel president, but he didn't really change much in

53
00:03:38,257 --> 00:03:42,897
Speaker 2: the way of US Israel policy in meaningful ways. He

54
00:03:43,097 --> 00:03:45,817
Speaker 2: said some things that occasionally annoyed then Prime Minister Nen

55
00:03:45,897 --> 00:03:49,377
Speaker 2: Yahoo settlements and things like about settlements, things like that,

56
00:03:49,777 --> 00:03:54,497
Speaker 2: but really overall, there wasn't a change in policy, and

57
00:03:54,737 --> 00:04:00,497
Speaker 2: there was a consistency that continues to this day. The

58
00:04:00,657 --> 00:04:03,937
Speaker 2: US is allied with Israel both parties Democrat and Republican.

59
00:04:04,017 --> 00:04:07,377
Speaker 2: Do we have can we play this? John John Fettermann

60
00:04:08,257 --> 00:04:10,537
Speaker 2: spoke out on this issue. If we have that one

61
00:04:11,217 --> 00:04:13,497
Speaker 2: where he's talking about Israel, play it, because it's just

62
00:04:13,537 --> 00:04:15,337
Speaker 2: a shock to hear Fetterman making sense.

63
00:04:15,537 --> 00:04:17,977
Speaker 1: I'm always going to stand on the side of Israel always,

64
00:04:18,017 --> 00:04:20,537
Speaker 1: and now it's you know, it's clear that Israel was

65
00:04:20,577 --> 00:04:23,377
Speaker 1: not responsible for the bombing at the hospital, and it's

66
00:04:23,417 --> 00:04:26,337
Speaker 1: tragic that hundreds of innocent civilians were killed and it

67
00:04:26,377 --> 00:04:29,817
Speaker 1: was done by the same side that butcherd innocent Israeli

68
00:04:30,017 --> 00:04:33,257
Speaker 1: citizens over in Israel last week. And I don't know

69
00:04:33,297 --> 00:04:36,017
Speaker 1: how you can get more despicable than they already are

70
00:04:36,177 --> 00:04:38,097
Speaker 1: to now they're trying to blame Israel on that to

71
00:04:38,177 --> 00:04:41,977
Speaker 1: inflame ten peticians all there as well too. And I'm

72
00:04:42,017 --> 00:04:44,337
Speaker 1: proud that the President visited there, and I'm going to

73
00:04:44,377 --> 00:04:46,617
Speaker 1: stand with President Biden, and I'm going to stand with Israel,

74
00:04:46,777 --> 00:04:49,457
Speaker 1: and I look forward to voting for whatever they need,

75
00:04:49,577 --> 00:04:52,137
Speaker 1: military intelligence or a humanitarian aid.

76
00:04:54,017 --> 00:05:02,297
Speaker 2: That's correct, that's good. That's Fetterman making sense, which in

77
00:05:02,337 --> 00:05:06,857
Speaker 2: and of itself is a pretty remarkable circumstance. But it

78
00:05:06,977 --> 00:05:10,137
Speaker 2: just goes to show you that even some of the

79
00:05:10,177 --> 00:05:14,977
Speaker 2: more left wing types, even some of the individuals who

80
00:05:15,737 --> 00:05:18,017
Speaker 2: you would think might have a more radical position on

81
00:05:18,057 --> 00:05:22,497
Speaker 2: this stuff, are actually, when push comes to shove, quite

82
00:05:23,617 --> 00:05:27,897
Speaker 2: pro Israel and are willing to do what they need

83
00:05:27,937 --> 00:05:30,977
Speaker 2: to do in order to support the Israeli state. So

84
00:05:31,217 --> 00:05:34,617
Speaker 2: I thought that was interesting. We also have Chuck Schumer,

85
00:05:35,417 --> 00:05:37,617
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer here speaking on a newser Let's play that clip.

86
00:05:39,017 --> 00:05:42,257
Speaker 3: Now there's proof put out by the Israelis that the rocket,

87
00:05:42,297 --> 00:05:45,497
Speaker 3: of course was not from Israel, but rather was from

88
00:05:45,697 --> 00:05:49,217
Speaker 3: one of the Palestinian groups that works with Hamas, and

89
00:05:49,217 --> 00:05:51,377
Speaker 3: this is what Israel's up against. Israel didn't put out

90
00:05:51,377 --> 00:05:53,857
Speaker 3: a statement immediately because they were checking it. They wanted

91
00:05:53,897 --> 00:05:57,697
Speaker 3: the truth. Hamas immediately said, oh, the IDEF did it.

92
00:05:57,777 --> 00:06:00,857
Speaker 3: They lie through their teeth, and you know, for six

93
00:06:00,937 --> 00:06:04,297
Speaker 3: hours the world blamed Israel unfairly. Now the word is

94
00:06:04,337 --> 00:06:05,937
Speaker 3: getting out, and I think all of us have an

95
00:06:05,977 --> 00:06:09,217
Speaker 3: obligation to get that proof out that the IDF showed

96
00:06:09,297 --> 00:06:09,777
Speaker 3: about that.

97
00:06:11,257 --> 00:06:14,697
Speaker 2: As I've said, it never made any sense at all

98
00:06:15,057 --> 00:06:22,057
Speaker 2: that you would have had Israel strike this hospital. Why

99
00:06:22,137 --> 00:06:25,737
Speaker 2: would Israel do that. This is at a time when

100
00:06:25,777 --> 00:06:31,097
Speaker 2: the moral high ground is clearly Israeli. The moral high

101
00:06:31,137 --> 00:06:34,097
Speaker 2: ground for anyone who's honest about what's happening here is

102
00:06:34,137 --> 00:06:37,737
Speaker 2: what is held by the Israelis. Striking a hospital is

103
00:06:37,897 --> 00:06:39,897
Speaker 2: just I know, they could say, oh, well, maybe it

104
00:06:39,937 --> 00:06:43,977
Speaker 2: was some kind of an accident, but that's for the Israelis.

105
00:06:44,657 --> 00:06:47,337
Speaker 2: At this stage, it just wasn't plausible. It didn't make

106
00:06:47,337 --> 00:06:49,297
Speaker 2: any sense. What did make sense was what we now

107
00:06:49,337 --> 00:06:51,817
Speaker 2: know is true because of a whole range of intelligence reporting,

108
00:06:52,297 --> 00:06:55,097
Speaker 2: and that is that Palestinian Islamic Jihad, another militant group

109
00:06:55,097 --> 00:06:58,457
Speaker 2: in the region, fired off a rocket and it struck

110
00:06:59,097 --> 00:07:02,417
Speaker 2: the hospital. I've been wondering if perhaps there was anything

111
00:07:02,417 --> 00:07:04,857
Speaker 2: there that caused secondary explosions, because there was so much

112
00:07:04,897 --> 00:07:08,057
Speaker 2: damage done by this rocket. But I don't know the

113
00:07:08,697 --> 00:07:11,617
Speaker 2: size that you know, the caliber, if you will, of

114
00:07:12,097 --> 00:07:15,617
Speaker 2: this rocket that hit the hospital. But all the people

115
00:07:15,657 --> 00:07:18,817
Speaker 2: who ran with that story and were completely wrong when

116
00:07:18,857 --> 00:07:23,417
Speaker 2: they ran with it, seem entirely fine with the fact

117
00:07:23,457 --> 00:07:27,177
Speaker 2: that they were effectively in the process of defaming the

118
00:07:27,217 --> 00:07:30,257
Speaker 2: Israelis and the Jews. That was the whole point. They

119
00:07:30,297 --> 00:07:33,937
Speaker 2: saw it as an opportunity. Rashida Talib doesn't feel like

120
00:07:34,537 --> 00:07:38,017
Speaker 2: she did anything wrong by reporting on this story and

121
00:07:38,337 --> 00:07:42,057
Speaker 2: incorrectly or I should say, you know, commenting on the

122
00:07:42,097 --> 00:07:45,617
Speaker 2: story and incorrectly saying this was the fault of Israel,

123
00:07:46,017 --> 00:07:48,257
Speaker 2: because it was. It allowed her to attack Israel, and

124
00:07:48,297 --> 00:07:52,457
Speaker 2: that's the single most important thing. The Tunnel the Towers

125
00:07:52,497 --> 00:07:54,817
Speaker 2: Foundation delivers on its promise to do good and never

126
00:07:54,857 --> 00:07:58,137
Speaker 2: forget the sacrifices America's greatest heroes have made for US.

127
00:07:58,497 --> 00:08:00,817
Speaker 2: Heroes who risk their lives to keep our communities and

128
00:08:00,857 --> 00:08:04,137
Speaker 2: our country safe. Heroes like United States Marine Corps Captain

129
00:08:04,177 --> 00:08:08,017
Speaker 2: and pilot Jeremy Sachs. Captain Sacks sustained fatal injuries when

130
00:08:08,057 --> 00:08:11,577
Speaker 2: his military aircraft crashed during killing him and five other

131
00:08:11,617 --> 00:08:15,417
Speaker 2: service members. He's remembered by loved ones as courageous, brilliant,

132
00:08:15,417 --> 00:08:18,297
Speaker 2: and devoted to his career, family and friends. Sachs has

133
00:08:18,337 --> 00:08:20,857
Speaker 2: survived by his wife, Amber, who gave birth to their

134
00:08:20,897 --> 00:08:24,017
Speaker 2: second daughter three months after his death. Tunnel to Towers

135
00:08:24,057 --> 00:08:26,177
Speaker 2: paid the mortgage on the family home for Amber and

136
00:08:26,217 --> 00:08:29,497
Speaker 2: their two daughters. The foundation has helped over one thousand

137
00:08:29,537 --> 00:08:32,937
Speaker 2: military and first responder families navigate the worst of times

138
00:08:32,937 --> 00:08:36,017
Speaker 2: by removing the burden of a mortgage payment. Our nation's

139
00:08:36,017 --> 00:08:38,377
Speaker 2: heroes and their families need your help now more than ever.

140

Speaker 2: can please do anything to donate to them, it is

145
00:08:54,777 --> 00:08:58,977
Speaker 2: worth every penny you can spare. So Joe Biden on

146
00:08:59,177 --> 00:09:03,617
Speaker 2: Air Force One spoke about his efforts to get a

147
00:09:03,657 --> 00:09:07,737
Speaker 2: humanitarian corridor open tier. Let's play this clips you can

148
00:09:07,777 --> 00:09:11,737
Speaker 2: hear from Biden himself about how the primary mission for

149
00:09:11,857 --> 00:09:15,737
Speaker 2: him is the humanitarian corridor. And we took off.

150
00:09:16,337 --> 00:09:22,097
Speaker 4: Our goal was Multifa, but basically to get humanitarian aide

151
00:09:22,737 --> 00:09:27,537
Speaker 4: into Gaza and to and get as many Americans out

152
00:09:27,617 --> 00:09:30,497
Speaker 4: who wanted to get out could get out as possible.

153
00:09:31,097 --> 00:09:34,697
Speaker 4: And so we got a commitment, as you know, from

154
00:09:34,857 --> 00:09:41,097
Speaker 4: the from the Israelis, including their unanos, their war Cabinet

155
00:09:41,217 --> 00:09:45,217
Speaker 4: and the Prime ministrict. And the second thing was that

156
00:09:46,217 --> 00:09:48,617
Speaker 4: I wanted to make sure there was a vehicle mechanism

157
00:09:49,097 --> 00:09:50,657
Speaker 4: that this could happen quickly.

158
00:09:52,057 --> 00:09:56,137
Speaker 2: So the humanitarian concerns obviously loom very large here and

159
00:09:56,177 --> 00:09:59,737
Speaker 2: that's that's understandable, and that's something that I would say

160
00:09:59,777 --> 00:10:04,017
Speaker 2: we should we also should support. There are innocence in Gaza,

161
00:10:04,057 --> 00:10:05,657
Speaker 2: there are lots of them. There are people who just

162
00:10:05,737 --> 00:10:07,417
Speaker 2: happened to live there and have nothing to do with

163
00:10:07,457 --> 00:10:11,617
Speaker 2: Hamas have never fired a a rifle or even throwing

164
00:10:11,657 --> 00:10:15,417
Speaker 2: a rock in anger at the Israelis. They are stuck

165
00:10:15,537 --> 00:10:18,257
Speaker 2: in this virtual prison camp that is run by Hamas,

166
00:10:18,697 --> 00:10:22,137
Speaker 2: and so they should not be made to unduly suffer.

167
00:10:22,177 --> 00:10:26,497
Speaker 2: And whatever accommodations could be made to prevent them talking,

168
00:10:26,577 --> 00:10:30,017
Speaker 2: especially now about children the elderly, prevent them from suffering

169
00:10:30,017 --> 00:10:32,737
Speaker 2: in this process should be done. But there's also a

170
00:10:32,737 --> 00:10:36,617
Speaker 2: lot of chatter right now about how Joe Biden and

171
00:10:36,817 --> 00:10:41,577
Speaker 2: his White House are talking to the Israelis, specifically that

172
00:10:41,737 --> 00:10:45,777
Speaker 2: Yahoo and the heads of the various Israeli military branches

173
00:10:45,857 --> 00:10:49,857
Speaker 2: about the need for restraint. And I just have to

174
00:10:49,857 --> 00:10:54,097
Speaker 2: say the Israelis have always shown an admirable restraint given

175
00:10:54,177 --> 00:10:58,377
Speaker 2: the force disparity between them and the organ entities to

176
00:10:58,497 --> 00:11:02,577
Speaker 2: terrorist groups like Hamas. But beyond that, imagine if somebody

177
00:11:02,777 --> 00:11:06,457
Speaker 2: was coming up to us, some foreign country, one of

178
00:11:06,457 --> 00:11:09,857
Speaker 2: our allies, and telling us after nine to eleven lecturing

179
00:11:10,217 --> 00:11:13,697
Speaker 2: on laws of war and restraint, Israel just suffered something

180
00:11:13,737 --> 00:11:16,377
Speaker 2: that is very similar to nine to eleven in scope

181
00:11:16,417 --> 00:11:20,897
Speaker 2: and scale and devastation. And when you think about what

182
00:11:20,937 --> 00:11:24,377
Speaker 2: a small country Israel is in particular, and the Israelis

183
00:11:24,537 --> 00:11:27,897
Speaker 2: have an absolute right to defend themselves, and there's no

184
00:11:27,977 --> 00:11:33,017
Speaker 2: way that they can successfully defend themselves without military action,

185
00:11:33,177 --> 00:11:36,457
Speaker 2: without killing people in Hamas. They're going to have to

186
00:11:36,537 --> 00:11:38,417
Speaker 2: kill members of Hamas. That is a fact, that is

187
00:11:38,457 --> 00:11:40,657
Speaker 2: a reality, and they're going to have to do so

188
00:11:41,217 --> 00:11:45,177
Speaker 2: with a greater thoroughness and resolve than they probably ever

189
00:11:45,217 --> 00:11:49,817
Speaker 2: have before. So why the Biden administration thinks it should

190
00:11:49,817 --> 00:11:53,737
Speaker 2: be in a position here to be telling Israel what

191
00:11:53,897 --> 00:11:56,297
Speaker 2: it should be doing and how it should be operating.

192
00:11:56,577 --> 00:11:58,937
Speaker 2: I would hope that Joe Biden was just more focused

193
00:11:59,017 --> 00:12:03,817
Speaker 2: on getting back any Americans who are possibly hostages or

194
00:12:03,857 --> 00:12:06,577
Speaker 2: who are who are being held right now by Hamas.

195
00:12:07,017 --> 00:12:09,737
Speaker 2: You would think that that should be Biden's absolute first.

196
00:12:09,737 --> 00:12:13,457
Speaker 2: Probably you're not hearing very much about that, though. Let's

197
00:12:13,497 --> 00:12:15,257
Speaker 2: hear from Chalk for a second. When guys go looking

198
00:12:15,257 --> 00:12:17,537
Speaker 2: for solutions to have more energy and more stamina, it's

199
00:12:17,537 --> 00:12:20,457
Speaker 2: only because the easy ideas aren't working. More sleep, a

200
00:12:20,457 --> 00:12:23,217
Speaker 2: second cup of coffee, whatever it is, energy drinks. The

201
00:12:23,217 --> 00:12:25,417
Speaker 2: better solution is from Chalk, and it's called the Male

202
00:12:25,497 --> 00:12:28,577
Speaker 2: Vitality Stack. It's a supplement set you take daily because

203
00:12:28,577 --> 00:12:31,777
Speaker 2: it contains all natural ingredients that provide energy to the body.

204
00:12:32,177 --> 00:12:34,617
Speaker 2: In fact, the leading ingredient has been proven in studies

205
00:12:34,657 --> 00:12:37,537
Speaker 2: to replenish diminished amounts of testosterone in a guy's body.

206
00:12:37,857 --> 00:12:40,737
Speaker 2: That's helpful because testosterone is a source of energy within

207
00:12:40,777 --> 00:12:43,417
Speaker 2: a man's body. When you have enough testosterone in your body,

208
00:12:43,417 --> 00:12:45,737
Speaker 2: you've got the energy and focus to accomplish a whole
