1 00:00:11,697 --> 00:00:14,977 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure 2 00:00:14,977 --> 00:00:17,977 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or 3 00:00:18,017 --> 00:00:19,737 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. 4 00:00:20,177 --> 00:00:22,057 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna come out and say it. This TikTok 5 00:00:22,217 --> 00:00:26,057 Speaker 2: ban is crazy town. Okay. I've tried to work with 6 00:00:26,137 --> 00:00:28,817 Speaker 2: conservatives on this. I've tried to convince them. I've tried 7 00:00:28,857 --> 00:00:31,977 Speaker 2: to get them to see the light, but they are 8 00:00:33,097 --> 00:00:35,217 Speaker 2: are not paying attention to what's really going on here. 9 00:00:35,777 --> 00:00:37,777 Speaker 2: This is a violation the First Amendment. I talked to 10 00:00:37,817 --> 00:00:42,297 Speaker 2: Senator Ran Paul about this. TikTok hasn't done anything that 11 00:00:42,417 --> 00:00:46,337 Speaker 2: hasn'tspired on anyone. It hasn't given any data to China. 12 00:00:46,417 --> 00:00:49,177 Speaker 2: And I think Trump's gonna save it this over the 13 00:00:49,217 --> 00:00:51,137 Speaker 2: course of the weekend. We got the inauguration on Monday. 14 00:00:51,177 --> 00:00:52,897 Speaker 2: I think you're gonna find that Trump has saved it. 15 00:00:53,297 --> 00:00:55,617 Speaker 2: So I'm also going on record here with this because 16 00:00:56,057 --> 00:00:59,097 Speaker 2: everyone's going to end up agreeing with me once Trump 17 00:00:59,097 --> 00:01:01,777 Speaker 2: saves this thing that it should be saved because this 18 00:01:01,817 --> 00:01:04,577 Speaker 2: whole this is just anti China hysteria. And I'm not 19 00:01:04,617 --> 00:01:08,977 Speaker 2: saying that China is not a problem. I'm just saying that, 20 00:01:09,777 --> 00:01:12,977 Speaker 2: first of all, It is bizarre that a law gets 21 00:01:13,017 --> 00:01:16,097 Speaker 2: passed that has bipartisan support and then everyone goes, wait, 22 00:01:16,217 --> 00:01:18,377 Speaker 2: you mean we're really going to do this thing. Yeah, 23 00:01:18,417 --> 00:01:21,057 Speaker 2: you passed a law to do it, so it is 24 00:01:21,057 --> 00:01:23,657 Speaker 2: a thing that's going to happen because you wanted it 25 00:01:23,697 --> 00:01:26,017 Speaker 2: to happen. You know, members of Congress, they're like this 26 00:01:26,097 --> 00:01:28,377 Speaker 2: with immigration too. What do you mean these people are legal? 27 00:01:28,737 --> 00:01:32,417 Speaker 2: You're the ones that write the laws. So the whole 28 00:01:32,417 --> 00:01:37,737 Speaker 2: thing is crazy to me, honestly, and it's indicative of 29 00:01:37,897 --> 00:01:41,497 Speaker 2: people acting on kind of heard emotion instead of thinking 30 00:01:41,497 --> 00:01:45,457 Speaker 2: it really thinking it through, you know, you know, and 31 00:01:45,497 --> 00:01:48,417 Speaker 2: this is and this guy, here's this guy, Scott Galloway 32 00:01:48,657 --> 00:01:50,097 Speaker 2: weighing in on this thing. 33 00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:54,057 Speaker 3: TikTok is also hosting an event during the inaugural festivities 34 00:01:54,057 --> 00:01:56,657 Speaker 3: to celebrate influencers who campaigned for Trump. 35 00:01:56,737 --> 00:01:56,897 Speaker 4: I know. 36 00:01:56,937 --> 00:02:00,177 Speaker 3: Obviously the APP CEO is also expected to attend the inauguration. 37 00:02:00,577 --> 00:02:02,817 Speaker 3: They're set to be banned in the coming days by 38 00:02:02,897 --> 00:02:05,977 Speaker 3: US law. So now there's a scrabble from both parties 39 00:02:05,977 --> 00:02:08,857 Speaker 3: to extend the deadline, possibly stop the band altogether. What 40 00:02:08,857 --> 00:02:11,097 Speaker 3: do you reading to the CEO being there is that 41 00:02:11,097 --> 00:02:13,697 Speaker 3: that's also I guess purely transactional. 42 00:02:13,857 --> 00:02:15,977 Speaker 1: Jeffrey asked if I think one hundred million dollars to 43 00:02:16,057 --> 00:02:19,137 Speaker 1: the GOP Senate campaign, and all of a sudden he's 44 00:02:19,417 --> 00:02:21,817 Speaker 1: one of the largest investors and owners of American owners 45 00:02:21,817 --> 00:02:24,497 Speaker 1: in TikTok, and all of a sudden, we're reconsidering a 46 00:02:24,577 --> 00:02:27,617 Speaker 1: law that was passed by eighty Senators and in the 47 00:02:27,657 --> 00:02:30,257 Speaker 1: great serious succession. Logan Roy says in a negotiation with 48 00:02:30,297 --> 00:02:33,297 Speaker 1: his children, you are not serious people. Are we a 49 00:02:33,337 --> 00:02:35,697 Speaker 1: serious country? When the president signs a band against a 50 00:02:35,697 --> 00:02:37,777 Speaker 1: foreign adversary and then on the eve of the band 51 00:02:38,297 --> 00:02:40,897 Speaker 1: we blink. What happens the next time we're negotiating a 52 00:02:40,897 --> 00:02:44,497 Speaker 1: trade agreement or trying to negotiate them not invading Taiwan? 53 00:02:44,537 --> 00:02:47,377 Speaker 1: Are we a serious people? We're blinking, We're scrambling. They 54 00:02:47,417 --> 00:02:48,177 Speaker 1: called our bluff. 55 00:02:49,457 --> 00:02:52,777 Speaker 2: He's wrong. I think this guy is wrong on this issue. 56 00:02:54,177 --> 00:02:56,177 Speaker 2: We're going to blink at the eve of the band. Yeah, 57 00:02:56,177 --> 00:02:59,337 Speaker 2: we should blink. The band is stupid. It's a dumb band. 58 00:03:00,817 --> 00:03:04,457 Speaker 2: About sixty percent of TikTok is owned by funds, international 59 00:03:04,497 --> 00:03:07,137 Speaker 2: funds around the world. It's this isn't run by some 60 00:03:08,377 --> 00:03:11,497 Speaker 2: you know, resputant like figure out of Beijing doing the 61 00:03:11,497 --> 00:03:15,097 Speaker 2: bidding of the CCP. The CEO is from Singapore, and 62 00:03:15,177 --> 00:03:18,337 Speaker 2: yet everyone's running around like, oh, it's a Chinese spying. Uh, 63 00:03:18,377 --> 00:03:20,337 Speaker 2: they're gonna put so much bad stuff. You think this 64 00:03:20,377 --> 00:03:22,617 Speaker 2: stuff that's on TikTok is worse than what's on YouTube, 65 00:03:22,617 --> 00:03:26,737 Speaker 2: which totally dominates the video market, totally dominates online. Your 66 00:03:26,817 --> 00:03:29,617 Speaker 2: kids are all watching YouTube, and your grandkids they're all 67 00:03:29,657 --> 00:03:33,057 Speaker 2: watching YouTube. And it is so left wing dominated and 68 00:03:33,297 --> 00:03:36,337 Speaker 2: such a anti free speech platform. I mean, you know, 69 00:03:36,737 --> 00:03:38,617 Speaker 2: like I'm gonna go. YouTube is gonna this will this 70 00:03:38,657 --> 00:03:40,537 Speaker 2: show will be on YouTube. I can't grow. I got 71 00:03:40,577 --> 00:03:42,457 Speaker 2: millions of people listening to on radio every day. I 72 00:03:42,497 --> 00:03:44,697 Speaker 2: get like, you know, a couple of one hundred people 73 00:03:44,697 --> 00:03:46,817 Speaker 2: on YouTube. I keep getting shot. I just got shut down. 74 00:03:46,857 --> 00:03:49,897 Speaker 2: I got demonetized, and now I'm i'm you know, not 75 00:03:49,937 --> 00:03:52,337 Speaker 2: being and now I'm like remonetized on YouTube. But they 76 00:03:52,337 --> 00:03:56,137 Speaker 2: shut me down for months why some non some nonsense. 77 00:03:56,137 --> 00:03:58,737 Speaker 2: They didn't like something I said. But this is why 78 00:03:58,737 --> 00:04:00,817 Speaker 2: people say, oh, I'm so worried about the Chinese. Worry 79 00:04:00,857 --> 00:04:05,217 Speaker 2: about the communists in this country. Worry about the communists here. 80 00:04:05,497 --> 00:04:09,217 Speaker 2: They are the bigger threat to your freedom This whole 81 00:04:09,257 --> 00:04:14,217 Speaker 2: thing with the with TikTok is nonsense. It is nonsense. 82 00:04:14,297 --> 00:04:17,977 Speaker 2: People need to wake up. Banning this doesn't serve our 83 00:04:18,017 --> 00:04:19,937 Speaker 2: purposes at all, or shutting it down or whatever they 84 00:04:19,977 --> 00:04:21,617 Speaker 2: want to say. Anyway, I think Trump is going to 85 00:04:21,697 --> 00:04:25,057 Speaker 2: save it. Probably Trump's the greatest. He's going to save it. 86 00:04:25,737 --> 00:04:30,537 Speaker 2: And you know, it's just the beginning of many good 87 00:04:30,537 --> 00:04:33,777 Speaker 2: things I think he's going to do in office. You know, 88 00:04:33,777 --> 00:04:36,217 Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks, on January twenty seventh, will 89 00:04:36,257 --> 00:04:39,577 Speaker 2: recognize International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It's a day to remember 90 00:04:39,617 --> 00:04:41,777 Speaker 2: the great evil of the Holocaust, when millions of Jews 91 00:04:41,777 --> 00:04:44,297 Speaker 2: were killed during World War Two. Today, the rise in 92 00:04:44,297 --> 00:04:47,057 Speaker 2: global anti Semitism and the constant attacks on Israel show 93 00:04:47,097 --> 00:04:49,057 Speaker 2: us that it's more important than ever to remember the 94 00:04:49,137 --> 00:04:51,697 Speaker 2: atrocities of the Holocaust to ensure it never happens again. 95 00:04:51,897 --> 00:04:53,777 Speaker 2: It's another one of the reasons why I've partnered with 96 00:04:53,817 --> 00:04:57,777 Speaker 2: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They've provided food, shelter, 97 00:04:57,897 --> 00:05:00,297 Speaker 2: and safety to Jews in Israel and around the world, 98 00:05:00,497 --> 00:05:04,417 Speaker 2: including those remaining Holocaust survivors. Your donation today will help 99 00:05:05,177 --> 00:05:09,697 Speaker 2: provide food, water, medicine, and other basic necessities to Jewish communities. 100 00:05:10,137 --> 00:05:12,017 Speaker 2: A gift to show your support of the Jewish community 101 00:05:12,017 --> 00:05:15,697 Speaker 2: by supporting, by visiting support I f CJ dot org. 102 00:05:15,897 --> 00:05:18,777 Speaker 2: That's one word, support, I f CJ dot org.

Now, 105 00:05:27,217 --> 00:05:29,377 Speaker 2: this is one of my favorite clips I've seen in 106 00:05:29,457 --> 00:05:33,017 Speaker 2: quite a while. You know, Joe Rogan does a great podcast. 107 00:05:33,097 --> 00:05:34,937 Speaker 2: I listened sometimes I don't have much time to listen 108 00:05:34,937 --> 00:05:36,777 Speaker 2: to anyone stuff other than my own, but I listened 109 00:05:36,817 --> 00:05:40,977 Speaker 2: on occasion. And then Mark Zuckerberg interview. He did, remember 110 00:05:40,977 --> 00:05:44,617 Speaker 2: Mark Zuckerberg. Now he's doing jiu jitsu, he's grown his 111 00:05:44,697 --> 00:05:47,577 Speaker 2: hair out, he wears a gold chain. He's a little 112 00:05:47,617 --> 00:05:49,697 Speaker 2: more of an alpha bro. Right, that's the whole thing. 113 00:05:49,737 --> 00:05:51,777 Speaker 2: He's lost off like a little weird computer guard with 114 00:05:51,817 --> 00:05:54,817 Speaker 2: our robotic voice, and now he's you know, he's an 115 00:05:54,817 --> 00:06:00,457 Speaker 2: obviously incredibly rich guy, incredibly influential, and he decided that 116 00:06:00,497 --> 00:06:02,577 Speaker 2: he was going to have a you know, a moment 117 00:06:02,657 --> 00:06:09,337 Speaker 2: of sort of bro bro unity with Joe Rogan on 118 00:06:10,617 --> 00:06:13,417 Speaker 2: how to Bowhunt.

You had to go hunt it, so you 124 00:06:25,897 --> 00:06:29,617 Speaker 4: had to go actually pull the trigger, kill the animal yourself, 125 00:06:29,897 --> 00:06:32,497 Speaker 4: cut it up, butcher it, cook it. You knew what 126 00:06:32,537 --> 00:06:33,097 Speaker 4: you were doing. 127 00:06:33,377 --> 00:06:35,337 Speaker 5: Yeah, well my favorite is bo Bona. 128 00:06:35,697 --> 00:06:39,217 Speaker 4: I prefer it because it's it requires more of you. 129 00:06:39,337 --> 00:06:41,097 Speaker 4: But yeah, another what kind of bow do you have? 130 00:06:42,177 --> 00:06:45,177 Speaker 5: Gosh, I didn't get to do it this season, But. 131 00:06:47,617 --> 00:06:48,897 Speaker 4: Do you know the company that makes it? 132 00:06:49,657 --> 00:06:50,617 Speaker 5: Not at the top of my head. 133 00:06:51,057 --> 00:06:51,657 Speaker 4: You have to know. 134 00:06:51,777 --> 00:06:53,977 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, this is embarrassing, This is embarrassing. 135 00:06:55,937 --> 00:06:56,937 Speaker 4: I can get you hooked up. 136 00:06:57,177 --> 00:06:58,657 Speaker 2: Yeah it works. 137 00:06:59,417 --> 00:07:01,217 Speaker 4: Okay, you know how old it is? 138 00:07:01,937 --> 00:07:04,137 Speaker 5: No, it's it's not old.

I just want to put 172 00:08:44,017 --> 00:08:47,857 Speaker 2: this out there going into the inauguration is I think 173 00:08:47,897 --> 00:08:53,857 Speaker 2: these I think these Senate appointments or Center confirmations rather 174 00:08:54,097 --> 00:08:57,337 Speaker 2: of the Trump appointees all going all going through. I 175 00:08:57,337 --> 00:08:59,617 Speaker 2: don't see a single one that's going to get jammed up. 176 00:08:59,697 --> 00:09:01,737 Speaker 2: Right now. It looks like Christy Noman is going to 177 00:09:01,737 --> 00:09:04,657 Speaker 2: get through, hag Seth. I think Cash Bartel is going 178 00:09:04,697 --> 00:09:06,737 Speaker 2: to get through, which means Trump is going to have 179 00:09:06,777 --> 00:09:12,977 Speaker 2: his entire team laid out and ready to go, which 180 00:09:13,457 --> 00:09:17,017 Speaker 2: is It's great. I mean, this is what he has wanted, 181 00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:20,097 Speaker 2: this is what people have been hoping for the whole time. 182 00:09:21,097 --> 00:09:25,617 Speaker 2: I think that Trump is in an incredible position to 183 00:09:25,737 --> 00:09:31,097 Speaker 2: have a very consequential and maybe even transformative presidency. Now's 184 00:09:31,137 --> 00:09:32,777 Speaker 2: the time, though, when the people have voted for him 185 00:09:32,737 --> 00:09:34,457 Speaker 2: me and now we have to make sure we keep 186 00:09:34,497 --> 00:09:38,577 Speaker 2: him focused and keep the administration honest about their promises, 187 00:09:38,617 --> 00:09:41,097 Speaker 2: and that promises will all be kept. From the campaign 188 00:09:41,217 --> 00:09:45,057 Speaker 2: and from the MAGA agenda that this needs to happen. 189 00:09:45,177 --> 00:09:47,897 Speaker 2: I think it will, but we need to make sure 190 00:09:47,937 --> 00:09:49,737 Speaker 2: that we keep an eye on that because I think 191 00:09:49,777 --> 00:09:53,217 Speaker 2: Trump has eighteen months to do all of this before 192 00:09:53,257 --> 00:09:56,017 Speaker 2: it just turns into the midterms and then the next 193 00:09:56,097 --> 00:10:00,257 Speaker 2: presidential election cycle takes over.
