Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: We've got ties between Joe Biden and his Attorney general
Speaker 1: are allegedly very fraid. We'll discuss whether I buy into
Speaker 1: that or not. Bluss the negotiation to avoid a government shutdown.
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, Well, I guess I shouldn't give the spoiler
Speaker 1: alert before I tell you what's going to happen, but
Speaker 1: I'm doing it anyway. The Government's not going to shut down.
Speaker 1: And then a bit of advice to the Wall Street Journal
Speaker 1: on obsessing but having the perfect career plan. Those are
Speaker 1: three things I want to dive into you today. Let's
Speaker 1: start with this story. We talked about this on the
Speaker 1: radio show today, but I want to follow up a
Speaker 1: little more the attorney This is the story Wall Street
Speaker 1: Journal ties between Joe Biden and Merrick Garland deteriorate from
Speaker 1: distant to frigid. Attorney General's vaunted independence has put all
Speaker 1: on relations between the White House and the Justice Department,
Speaker 1: and it says the already frosty relationship between President Biden
Speaker 1: and his Attorney General, Merrick Garland is now in a
Speaker 1: deep freeze. So respect and admiration among White House aids
Speaker 1: for Garland, a longtime federal court judge, chose to underscore
Speaker 1: the independence of the Justice Department and has shifted for
Speaker 1: some into resignation and distrust. They point to Garland having
Speaker 1: appointed not just a special counsel to investigate former President
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, but two others as well, one looking into
Speaker 1: his son, Hunter Biden. So here's the situation, folks. You
Speaker 1: could believe that these White House aides who are speaking
Speaker 1: to the Wall Street Journal are just deciding to give
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal information that could be useful politically
Speaker 1: against the Biden White House. Why would they do that?
Speaker 1: Or you could see this as I do, as a
Speaker 1: disinformation operation, this information operation. How would that work? Well,
Speaker 1: I think you see it right now. They tell everyone
Speaker 1: via the Wall Street Journalist, the mouthpiece, remember a conservative paper.
Speaker 1: They tell them, Oh, Biden is so angry, he's just
Speaker 1: so upset at Merrick Garland, so that then there can
Speaker 1: be talking points. Then people can go out there and say, see,
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland is doing real justice. Biden so mad at
Speaker 1: him for what's going on. Here, and it makes it
Speaker 1: seem like to people who haven't really spent a lot
Speaker 1: of time thinking about this, the fix isn't in the
Speaker 1: justice system is serious, and this is something that everybody
Speaker 1: should believe, Right, that's the idea. Oh yeah, no, it's fine.
Speaker 1: It's they're being so rough on Hunter Biden. No one
Speaker 1: can really believe this. No one can really believe us.
Speaker 1: Think about it for a moment. They're being rough on
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. They assigned as the special counsel to look
Speaker 1: into Hunter Biden stuff. They assigned a Weiss, a confidant
Speaker 1: of the Biden family. Effectively, he's been in Delaware forever.
Speaker 1: Who under doj regulations shouldn't even be a special counsel.
Speaker 1: He's already within the department pervie. You're supposed to bring
Speaker 1: somebody from outside the Department of Justice. So Merrick Garland
Speaker 1: is putting someone in charge who will use every trick
Speaker 1: and has used every trick so far as we know,
Speaker 1: from the plea deal that fell apart in the summer,
Speaker 1: to make sure that Joe Biden doesn't have to worry
Speaker 1: about Hunter getting in real trouble. Right, charges are one thing,
Speaker 1: it's convictions and prison sentences that are the real punishment,
Speaker 1: that's the real problem for someone like Hunter Biden at least.
Speaker 1: So I don't buy that this is a real sentiment
Speaker 1: that the White House has, that their White House, that
Speaker 1: the White House is upset at the Attorney General because
Speaker 1: he's just being so strict, because he's such an honest man,
Speaker 1: and Joe is upset with him for being so honest.
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's a reflection of reality here.
Speaker 1: Tre ask me what I think is going on, And
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this, I suppose you are asking
Speaker 1: in some way. I think that they're trying to convince
Speaker 1: people that the system is not utterly corrupted in favor
Speaker 1: of Democrats, especially going into a year where we'll see
Speaker 1: multiple efforts to try Donald Trump in criminal courts. So
Speaker 1: it doesn't that add up? Does that make a lot
Speaker 1: more sense when you think about it. Oh, look at this,
Speaker 1: this Merrick Garland Department of Justice is so strict and serious.
Speaker 1: I guess that the Democrats are even upset at them
Speaker 1: because of it. It reminds me a little bit of
Speaker 1: what the Obama administration did. For those who remember this,
Speaker 1: very few people do remember, but I do remember it.
Speaker 1: There were these new stories about Obama as the deporter
Speaker 1: in chief right going into the twenty twelve election. Obama
Speaker 1: has deported so many people. Gosh, he's so strict on
Speaker 1: the border, he's so strong on border security. He's the
Speaker 1: deporter in chief, and there are these stories popping up.
Speaker 1: You're saying, hold on a second, why would that be
Speaker 1: something the Democrats are doing. Democrats want amnesty, they want
Speaker 1: as many illegals coming into the country as possible. They
Speaker 1: think their future Democrat votes. And so you look at
Speaker 1: a little more. You said, oh, they change the definition
Speaker 1: of what counts as a deportation to make the numbers
Speaker 1: look bigger. That was one thing they did. So if
Speaker 1: you were turned around immediately, that was counted as a deportation,
Speaker 1: even though that's not really a deportation. And then beyond that,
Speaker 1: this is where I think it gets even more interesting.
Speaker 1: The point that they were trying to make was Obama
Speaker 1: is so strong on the border, so you know you
Speaker 1: can trust him in these negotiations with the Gang of
Speaker 1: Eight in the Senate for an amnesty bill. Right. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's so strong on the borders. So when he says
Speaker 1: border security as part of comprehensive immigration reform is guaranteed.
Speaker 1: You can trust him, right. You see how the propaganda works.
Speaker 1: They create a false belief in somebody on an issue
Speaker 1: so that they can leverage that to get something they
Speaker 1: want on another issue. Oh, we can trust Obama on
Speaker 1: the border because he's so strict with deportations, so you
Speaker 1: know that he will do what he says when it
Speaker 1: comes to enforcement. It's all a scam, folks, It's all
Speaker 1: this honest. I think that's what they're doing with Merrick Garland.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that Biden thinks that Merrick Garland has
Speaker 1: done anything other than his level best to protect the
Speaker 1: Biden regime and to go after enemies. Remember it's the
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland is the one who's appointed the special counsels
Speaker 1: looking too Trump, who's doj has brought two felony criminal
Speaker 1: in diatments against Donald Trump. How much better does Joe
Speaker 1: Biden think he's gonna get as an attorney general who
Speaker 1: is a weapon of his regime than when he has
Speaker 1: the Merrick Ireland. I think Merrick Garland is even more
Speaker 1: of a partisan than Eric Holder was before him, or
Speaker 1: Loretta Lynch. I think Merrick Garland has been willing to
Speaker 1: absolutely go after Biden enemies and doesn't care what it
Speaker 1: has done to the law in the process. You know,
Speaker 1: being healthy and feeling strong. Who doesn't want that. Our

Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of reporting on oh gosh, the
Speaker 1: debt ceiling and a government shutdown and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: Here's where the Fox News story Rebel uprising threatens to
Speaker 1: derail House GOP deal to avoid shutdown. See, our deal
Speaker 1: would last for thirty one days and effectively cut spending
Speaker 1: by one percent from current levels. So continuing resolution, friends,
Speaker 1: Both parties spend too much, and it's not going to stop.
Speaker 1: We say we wanted to stop, but we don't actually
Speaker 1: want it to stop it because we elect people that will
Speaker 1: continue to do it. And then when we think we're
Speaker 1: doing something about it, we think when people are standing
Speaker 1: up and saying enough, they're doing so little that it
Speaker 1: won't make a difference in terms of the overall numbers
Speaker 1: in the debt. So it doesn't make a difference. And
Speaker 1: so how does anyone believe that this would stop? How
Speaker 1: does anyone believe that this would go in a direction
Speaker 1: other than what we've seen? Right, That's the part of
Speaker 1: this that I think everybody has to understand. This is
Speaker 1: just on autopilot. Now. Some people are trying to do
Speaker 1: something about it, but they can't do enough to really
Speaker 1: stop it, at least not realistically politically anytime soon. So
Speaker 1: you're going to see all this reporting about the dead
Speaker 1: ceiling and we spend too much money, We're going to
Speaker 1: get a continuing resolution. We're going to spend way too
Speaker 1: much money, and if anything, we'll get some insignificant reduction
Speaker 1: in the increase in the amount of spending, and we'll
Speaker 1: be told that that's something we should all be excited about. Now.
Speaker 1: Thing's going to change until things change, meaning the spending
Speaker 1: will continue until we have real economic pain that people
Speaker 1: feel and take seriously. And at that point it could
Speaker 1: be too late. I don't want to be dooming gloom
Speaker 1: on this, but I'm being doom and gloom because that's
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. If you look at the history
Speaker 1: of Fiat currencies, the history of Fiat currencies will show
Speaker 1: very clearly, or shows very clearly that over time they
Speaker 1: all eventually get debased into nothingness. It's just a question
Speaker 1: of when how long it takes. So yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: the challenge, folks. Until people feel the pain, the Santa
Speaker 1: Claus situation continues. Free stuff for everybody, nobody's got, nobody
Speaker 1: has to pay for it, right right, it's not how
Speaker 1: it happens. But we talked about it all day long.
Speaker 1: The majority of the American people do not want this
Speaker 1: situation to change. They want the printing presses to keep
Speaker 1: just worrying, you know, going on as fast as they can.
Speaker 1: That's that's what's going to continue to happen. I don't
Speaker 1: see any change here. My pillows team has a great
Speaker 1: sale going on in every day item for your home.

Speaker 1: just kind of some thoughts I have on this. It's
Speaker 1: a piece in the Wall Street Journal. Stop obsessing about
Speaker 1: having the perfect career plan. The paths we thought we
Speaker 1: knew were crumbling fast. Maybe it's time to think differently
Speaker 1: about getting aheads by Rachel find SiGe And I would
Speaker 1: just say, in the basics of this, she's right, showing
Speaker 1: up at a company and working there for thirty years
Speaker 1: and just getting better all the time, making more money,
Speaker 1: advancing if you do the you know, you have a
Speaker 1: great work ethic and all that. That's just not going
Speaker 1: to be the reality for a lot of people. Hasn't
Speaker 1: been the reality for me. I've I'll be moving again
Speaker 1: in a week, and I have to say I have
Speaker 1: lived in as an adult, I think twelve different places, homes,
Speaker 1: twelve different homes at this point, moving mostly for job
Speaker 1: in financial reasons, you know, move here, move there, get
Speaker 1: closer to work, less expensive apartment, whatever it may be.
Speaker 1: And that's been the reality for a lot of people
Speaker 1: I think who like me grew up in large cities
Speaker 1: in this country and found work opportunities in those cities.
Speaker 1: Now that's changing, obviously. I live in Florida now, and
Speaker 1: people that can work remotely are working remotely, and so
Speaker 1: there's some flexibility with regard to that. But the career
Speaker 1: path a crew that's day to day life stuff, that's
Speaker 1: work life balance, whatever you want to call it, a
Speaker 1: career trajectory is going to be very different for people.
Speaker 1: Companies are much more volatile than they previously were. You know,
Speaker 1: there's not the equivalent really. I think of an IBM
Speaker 1: where you go there, you work there, you know, for
Speaker 1: thirty years, and it's a great, steady company that makes
Speaker 1: great products, and you know, maybe that's a simplification. Maybe
Speaker 1: that never you know, Ford Motor Company, right, Obviously that
Speaker 1: ran into problems eventually too. Nothing lasts forever. But a
Speaker 1: career path that's going to be study for twenty or
Speaker 1: thirty years, unless you work in government, which I looked
Speaker 1: at as a possibility at one point. I mean, I
Speaker 1: was working government. I left, and I left in large
Speaker 1: part because I wanted more I wanted more option options
Speaker 1: in my life day to day. I wanted more freedom
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to just be at the whim
Speaker 1: of a massive bureaucracy that really just doesn't care about
Speaker 1: anything day to day. Right, the bureaucracy exists there, So
Speaker 1: I do think people should think more about that going
Speaker 1: forward and think about how their careers will be require
Speaker 1: a lot more flexibility, a little more creativity, and also durability,
Speaker 1: meaning you're going to go in and out of career fields,
Speaker 1: you're going to go in and out of different companies,
Speaker 1: and accepting those changes and embracing that reality is going
Speaker 1: to be to the benefit of those who are still
Speaker 1: building and making careers. I think that's very valid, think
Speaker 1: that's very real. All right, that's the Bucks X and
Speaker 1: show for today. Tukian more tomorrow, She'll tigh
