Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Democrats holding school reopened, hostage,
Speaker 1: a big court win for nuns. A letter on justice
Speaker 1: and open debate that doesn't really open debate. Mural hate
Speaker 1: crime is that a real thing? Seattle Diversity Training, we'll
Speaker 1: dive into that, and also has Texas hit its COVID
Speaker 1: peak coming up. This is the Buck Sexon Show, where
Speaker 1: the mission or mission is to decode what really matters
Speaker 1: with actionable intelligence. Mag no mistake America. Great, you're a
Speaker 1: great American. Again the Buck Sexon Show begins. He's a
Speaker 1: great guy. Now, now it's time to be open. It's
Speaker 1: time to say open, and we will put out the
Speaker 1: fires as they come up. But we have to open
Speaker 1: our schools. It's so important to open our schools. And
Speaker 1: what you said from a psychological standpoint, which respect to
Speaker 1: sag home, any longer you can do it, you can
Speaker 1: do it. That has great dangers also. So that's where
Speaker 1: we are welcome everybody to the Buck Sexton Show. The
Speaker 1: President yesterday getting ahead of this issue. I think before
Speaker 1: the Democrats have even been able to come up with
Speaker 1: a coherent reason for why we shouldn't open schools. COVID
Speaker 1: is scary, is not a reason. They keep saying, let's
Speaker 1: look at the data, let's look at the options, and
Speaker 1: then it just turns into well, people are scared. And
Speaker 1: to this, I have to say, the politics are going
Speaker 1: to become increasingly obvious and blatant and challenging as we
Speaker 1: go forward here. Some people want the country to go
Speaker 1: and look at what's going on all over the world,
Speaker 1: but also go forward based upon what we've learned over
Speaker 1: the last oh five months, and start to get back
Speaker 1: to normalcy in advance of a presidential election. Remember, this
Speaker 1: is not a normal time in American politics, and not
Speaker 1: just because of the screaming mobs and the people running
Speaker 1: around the streets acting like maniacs, toppling statues, canceling George Washington,
Speaker 1: canceling Hamilton the Broadway play if they can. Although I
Speaker 1: think that one will probably continue on, I haven't been
Speaker 1: able to watch it yet, still planning on it. This
Speaker 1: is not a normal time in politics because you have
Speaker 1: the rise again of an anti Trump psychosis. Right, We've
Speaker 1: seen this come in waves. It's always been there, but
Speaker 1: sometimes it's worse. Sometimes it recedes a little bit as
Speaker 1: it try to figure out what the next reason is
Speaker 1: that Trump is literally worse than Hitler. But now schools
Speaker 1: has become the lefts measure no line. We all know
Speaker 1: what happened to magine no line. But the schools have
Speaker 1: become one more thing, one more hurdle, a hostage that
Speaker 1: they will take to prevent a sense of normalcy from
Speaker 1: coming back and prevent the economy from really going. I
Speaker 1: don't hear anyone else saying this, and it needs to
Speaker 1: be sent a lot more by far more people. We
Speaker 1: are not in reopen. We are in less severe lockdown.
Speaker 1: We have not returned to normal. We're not seeing all
Speaker 1: the spike in cases happening because everyone's just living their lives.
Speaker 1: Large amounts of public accommodation. I mean, all kinds of
Speaker 1: industries are still either shut down or restricted, depends on
Speaker 1: the state you're in. We're we're not opened up, and
Speaker 1: now we're trying to figure out, oh, how do we
Speaker 1: deal with all these reckless decisions we've made to reopen. No,
Speaker 1: we've we've barely begun to peek out into the sunshine
Speaker 1: after being locked in this dungeon of leftist and expert
Speaker 1: insanity for months, for months, and we all know what
Speaker 1: the stakes are. We all know what they're trying to do.
Speaker 1: If kids don't go back to school, the parents are
Speaker 1: going to be in a very different position when it
Speaker 1: comes to their jobs and just their sense of are
Speaker 1: we going to get our lives back or not. And
Speaker 1: Democrats understand that there they have two big, inc well
Speaker 1: three big incentives to prevent school from reopening, none of
Speaker 1: which have anything to do with health. Right. Their first
Speaker 1: incentive as well, they don't have to take any responsibility
Speaker 1: for anything that would happen in the schools if they
Speaker 1: do reopen, right, So that's one. Two. They like the
Speaker 1: power that they currently have, whether we're talking about governors
Speaker 1: or mayors, shut it down, shut it down, do what
Speaker 1: I say. And then they'll make special exceptions for you know,
Speaker 1: pet projects of liberals or things that the left wants,
Speaker 1: you know, activism. Those things are fun. No singing in
Speaker 1: church in California, but gathering together as a bunch of
Speaker 1: lunatic protesters screaming about how you want socialism, defund the police,
Speaker 1: that's fine. They're fine with all that. So the third one,
Speaker 1: of course, is the most obvious one, which is that
Speaker 1: it hurts the chances that the Republicans have to take
Speaker 1: control of the House to maintain control of the Senate
Speaker 1: and for Donald Trump to win reelection. So that is
Speaker 1: when we're talking about the motivation to pretend that we
Speaker 1: don't know that schools can reopen. I've just laid out
Speaker 1: with you that's why it's not reopening. So there's there's
Speaker 1: some degree of cowardice from politicians because they don't want
Speaker 1: to say, hey, look, it's not going to be perfect,
Speaker 1: but life isn't perfect, let's reopen and have that decision
Speaker 1: on their plate. They want to maintain control and they
Speaker 1: want to defeat Trump. What would their incentives be for reopening,
Speaker 1: letting people have their lives back, having children continue to
Speaker 1: develop up the way that they should um, not punishing
Speaker 1: children for a disease that is really only a lethal
Speaker 1: concern in the policy sense, right, any disease is the
Speaker 1: possibility of really you know well, I mean, any major
Speaker 1: disease is the possibility of causing complications, and you know,
Speaker 1: you never know how a body's going to react or
Speaker 1: react to it. As I've said before, and people think
Speaker 1: this isn't true. You can actually die from strep throat
Speaker 1: for example. Does anyone is anyone go into a panic
Speaker 1: when they come back with a positive strep test. No,
Speaker 1: they take that abiotic and there's a ninety nine point
Speaker 1: nine percent chance they're fine. But you could theoretically die
Speaker 1: from it if it was untreated. You could die from
Speaker 1: cutting yourself shaving, you know, or or shaving you know
Speaker 1: for the ladies shaving in the shower. Right, I mean,
Speaker 1: you could get a a mursa infection and that's that's all.
Speaker 1: That's all, she wrote. Right, you're done. But do you
Speaker 1: worry about that all the time. No, we have to
Speaker 1: separate out reasonable rat risk from things that clearly should
Speaker 1: should be avoided because the parameters, the risk parameters are
Speaker 1: far too high. And when we're talking about schools for children,
Speaker 1: it's basically zero risk. So the health the health concern
Speaker 1: for kids is effectively non existent. And someone explained to
Speaker 1: me why you're not hearing from every news outlet constantly. Europe, Japan,
Speaker 1: name a major industrialized country, and the rest of the world.
Speaker 1: They've opened up schools and they're fine. The schools are operating,
Speaker 1: So why would we even have this this doubt, why
Speaker 1: this delay. I've already let out those reasons, but I
Speaker 1: think it's important to work through what would be fair
Speaker 1: minded objections to reopening because they don't really exist. Oh,
Speaker 1: the teachers unions, of course, which is really just a
Speaker 1: Democrat vote operation, right that the teachers unions are completely
Speaker 1: overrun with what are essentially DNC operatives and socialists, and
Speaker 1: they want to demand more, and right now they've got it.
Speaker 1: They've got a situation where they can say, hey, you know, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe we're open, but you know, maybe we got to
Speaker 1: work a little more on those contracts. On the back end,
Speaker 1: we get a little more, a little more special something,
Speaker 1: some little sweetener for are retired teachers workforce. That's usually
Speaker 1: how the game is played. So they want stuff. And
Speaker 1: I had I saw on TV? Was it the American
Speaker 1: Federation of Teachers, Randy Weingard. It's always the same thing.
Speaker 1: It's always she looks, she's very smooth, she's very good
Speaker 1: at just saying we just want parents to have everything
Speaker 1: they need, kids to have everything they need, and teachers
Speaker 1: to have everything they need. No, it's really just get
Speaker 1: the teachers a lot of stuff and make sure the
Speaker 1: unions are powerful and supporting Democrats. The kids and the
Speaker 1: parents are always a secondary consideration at best. Nobody really
Speaker 1: cares all that much of the teachers unions about the
Speaker 1: product here, which is education for children. Teachers just want
Speaker 1: to teach. That's my favorite life. Whatever you hear that
Speaker 1: from a union reper I know it is true if
Speaker 1: some teachers, and I have teachers that are profound positive
Speaker 1: influences on my life. But whatever you hear union representatives
Speaker 1: say that, it's think of it as the equivalent of
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi or some politicians saying it's just for the children.
Speaker 1: We're just doing whatever it is, we're doing it for
Speaker 1: the children, doing it for future generations. Whenever a politician
Speaker 1: tells you that you have to make a decision you
Speaker 1: don't want to for your safety or for future generations,
Speaker 1: you should be on high alert. You should think this
Speaker 1: is probably bus because it almost always is, or at
Speaker 1: least is partially BS is exaggerated, is taken beyond what
Speaker 1: a fair minded argument would be. So that then brings
Speaker 1: us to, well, what are the downsides if we if
Speaker 1: we don't open, which I think are It's important for
Speaker 1: us to understand that it's important for us to know
Speaker 1: that there will be consequence. It's not we just stay
Speaker 1: home and all the kids will catch up and everything's
Speaker 1: gonna be fine play clip their team Mark. We can't
Speaker 1: let our kids fall behind academically. But also, uh, you know, Brett,
Speaker 1: you're a parent, you understand that it's far beyond academics
Speaker 1: that millions of families rely on our local schools. Many
Speaker 1: many of our children that struggle with emotional challenges or
Speaker 1: or or disabilities, they receive those services at school. Add
Speaker 1: into that nutrition, add into that other ways that we
Speaker 1: serve our kids. It's absolutely essential that we get back
Speaker 1: to school, and the President is going to continue to
Speaker 1: focus effort on that. Look, we all need to be
Speaker 1: very clear that the public school system in this country
Speaker 1: largely operates in many places as as a provider of
Speaker 1: social services to children and childcare so that parents can
Speaker 1: go to work. And as a society, I do think
Speaker 1: that there's a worthwhile conversation that we really need to
Speaker 1: have where the expectation of two parents working would not
Speaker 1: be what we all have. And if you want to
Speaker 1: pay the mortgage and be able to live a reasonable
Speaker 1: middle class lifestyle in any major suburban area, and ever
Speaker 1: even mind inside of cities which are all over priced,
Speaker 1: but in a suburban area in this country, in a
Speaker 1: rural area in this country, that you don't have this
Speaker 1: general it's not true all the time, the general expectation
Speaker 1: the two parents have to work. But this is the
Speaker 1: society that we've all been pushed into. This is what
Speaker 1: we've this is what we've been handed. You want to have,
Speaker 1: in a lot of cases, two parents working, which means
Speaker 1: you got to have the kids in school because there's
Speaker 1: no one home to take care of the kids. And
Speaker 1: no one really dives that deep into the developmental consequences
Speaker 1: that this can mean for children. But we'd certainly know
Speaker 1: that keeping kids at home, not able to see their peers,
Speaker 1: not able to have those growth experiences of being around
Speaker 1: adults who are invested in teaching them and who are
Speaker 1: learning during all of this is a major negative. But
Speaker 1: do you do you hear a lot of chatter about that.
Speaker 1: Just just look at what the editorial decisions that are
Speaker 1: being made by major media organizations are on this issue.
Speaker 1: You'd think they'd be all about, oh my gosh, we
Speaker 1: need to get our kids back into school. We need
Speaker 1: to figure out how we you know, how we can
Speaker 1: make sure that we keep them on tracks so that
Speaker 1: they can continue to brainwash them to be good little socialists.
Speaker 1: But also that the test scores will stay where they're
Speaker 1: supposed to be, even though the test scores are always
Speaker 1: way lower in the public school system than we want
Speaker 1: them to be overall, I know they're great public schools,
Speaker 1: but certainly we haven't been able to pull up test
Speaker 1: scores the way that they've planned. But this is now,
Speaker 1: this is now just a purely political decision. That's what
Speaker 1: it's turned into. There are health consequences, and I understand that,
Speaker 1: and a teacher who's you know, has a serious health
Speaker 1: condition or is over fifty, who doesn't want to be
Speaker 1: around a lot of kids until we know more. That's
Speaker 1: completely that's rational, reasonable, fine, the science would support that
Speaker 1: decision of risk mitigation. They should certainly pass laws right
Speaker 1: now that people can't sue schools if there is a
Speaker 1: COVID outbreak, right that this is not going to be
Speaker 1: a liability issue, which is another major concern. It's that's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I can't get even that
Speaker 1: mad at some of the private institutions, including my own
Speaker 1: apartment building in New York, when they make decisions that
Speaker 1: are absurd, but they're just they're worried about getting sued
Speaker 1: all the time, you know, because the governor, the Democrat
Speaker 1: governor here, Cuomo, you know, makes some mandate and if
Speaker 1: it can be interpreted that you as a as a
Speaker 1: private entity but that serves individuals in a commercial sense,
Speaker 1: didn't adhere to the letter of the law of the
Speaker 1: Cuomo executive order, Perhaps you're liable to being sued. So
Speaker 1: we need to push away this notion. We need to
Speaker 1: take away the possibility that schools can be sued for COVID,
Speaker 1: which there's no way. I mean, we couldn't stop COVID
Speaker 1: from getting into seniors homes in New York. We're gonna
Speaker 1: stop all COVID cases in schools. And as we know,
Speaker 1: and they don't even understand this, really, they don't know why.
Speaker 1: But transmission from children to adults is very rare. It's
Speaker 1: much more likely the adults give it to the children.
Speaker 1: So even in the instance I'm talking about where somebody
Speaker 1: who's you know, if a teacher who's fifty five, and
Speaker 1: our most K through twelve teachers in their late fifties. No,
Speaker 1: because teachers unions usually have a pension and retirement program
Speaker 1: in place where you get to stop at a pretty
Speaker 1: reasonable age. So when people get into their fifties, into
Speaker 1: their sixties. You know, maybe they've already thought about thought
Speaker 1: about retirement, but I understand they want to maybe come
Speaker 1: back and be contractors or teaching schools. That's fine, But
Speaker 1: even in that circumstance, their risk is relatively low. But
Speaker 1: we're always told, you know, were a mask, social distance,
Speaker 1: do all of these things. It's rooted in the science,
Speaker 1: as Cuomo says, it's rooted in the data. The data
Speaker 1: tells us not to do this thing. No. Actually, if
Speaker 1: you look at what we know, children are almost zero risk.
Speaker 1: There's a huge social consequence, negative social consequences to preventing
Speaker 1: children from going to school. There's minimal risk to adults
Speaker 1: involved in this process. There's enormous downside for the economy
Speaker 1: and for day to day life. Right, we warn our
Speaker 1: lives back. I don't know why that's not more of
Speaker 1: a rallying cry. People will rally in the streets for
Speaker 1: police violence, which is not a major problem. Sorry, it's
Speaker 1: just not. It's a problem. It exists, but it's not
Speaker 1: one that should be consuming the decree of energy and
Speaker 1: time in the media that it has. We all know this.
Speaker 1: It was used, it was leveraged. Oh, police violence actually
Speaker 1: defund the cops and let's eliminate the nuclear family. Haha,
Speaker 1: socialists pull it off again. Right, we've all seen this.
Speaker 1: How about getting our lives back. How about the restoration
Speaker 1: of the normalcy that we all should have where you
Speaker 1: get to go out and go engage in business. And
Speaker 1: you know, they're shutting down beaches again. Every time I
Speaker 1: see a media report where they're talking about spiking COVID
Speaker 1: cases and they're like, oh, we've got to shut and
Speaker 1: then they show a photo of a beach. They really
Speaker 1: just want to agitate the public. They want to depress us.
Speaker 1: They want us to be afraid because we're easier to control,
Speaker 1: it's easier to mold our perception. We're all, oh, my gosh,
Speaker 1: beaches are safe. People are not getting this in the beach.
Speaker 1: They're not getting this in open air. Governors that are
Speaker 1: saying there should be mask mandates for people out in
Speaker 1: public are morons. There's no there's no support for this.
Speaker 1: Whatso that's not an area where there's debate. How effective
Speaker 1: are masks, that's an area of discussion that is a reality.
Speaker 1: They're not ninety nine percent effective. They're probably more like,
Speaker 1: you know, two or three percent more effective, but you know,
Speaker 1: no one knows. I'll say, no one knows, but they're
Speaker 1: not that effective. We all know that, But are they
Speaker 1: worth it in open air? Well, there's essentially no transmission
Speaker 1: that occurs in open air of this disease that anyone
Speaker 1: can point to. So the answers no. But governors still
Speaker 1: do this. We are living in this Orwellian world where
Speaker 1: we're told that what's true is false, up is down,
Speaker 1: data and facts are superstition and conspiracy, theory and conjecture
Speaker 1: and politics or what we should really be basing all
Speaker 1: of our decisions on theories that are wrong over and
Speaker 1: over again. That should be enough to eliminate your freedoms.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't want to play that game anymore.
Speaker 1: And it is time for us to just refuse to comply.
Speaker 1: Open up the damn schools. You're in the freedom Hendy.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. We hope
Speaker 1: that most schools are going to be open. We don't
Speaker 1: want people to make political statements who do it for
Speaker 1: political reason and they think it's going to be good
Speaker 1: for them politically, so they keep the schools closed. No way,
Speaker 1: So we're very much going to put pressure on governors
Speaker 1: and everybody else to open the schools, to get them open,
Speaker 1: and it's very important. It's very important for our country.
Speaker 1: It's very important for the well being of the student
Speaker 1: and the parents. So we're going to be putting a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on open these schools in the fall.
Speaker 1: Federal government should use every tool at its disposal. Remember
Speaker 1: Obama at one point threatened to pull this was true,
Speaker 1: pull federal funding for public schools through the Department of
Speaker 1: Education because of a transgender student bathroom usage dispute in
Speaker 1: North Carolina. This is a whole lot more sweeping and
Speaker 1: important than that issue was. And yet were are Democrats
Speaker 1: on this. They want to lock it down? Why they
Speaker 1: want to be Trump? Thanks for listening to The Bus
Speaker 1: Essence Show podocasts. Member to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Are public
Speaker 1: schools ready to open in September? You can see why
Speaker 1: we are supporting Joe Biden over Donald Trump. Did you
Speaker 1: hear the word he didn't use safely? Safely There's no
Speaker 1: one that wants their kids back with us more than teachers.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe their parents, maybe their parents beat us out there,
Speaker 1: But we want to open it safely. We see what
Speaker 1: happens when they let bars open prematurely. And you saw
Speaker 1: those young adults in there in that nice little bar,
Speaker 1: and they went home and they infected everybody around them.
Speaker 1: This isn't a bar. We're talking about second graders. I
Speaker 1: had thirty nine sixth graders one year in my class.
Speaker 1: I double dog dare Donald Trump to sit in a
Speaker 1: class of thirty nine sixth graders and breathe that air
Speaker 1: without any preparation for how we're going to bring our
Speaker 1: kids back safely blather. You know, it's just a lot
Speaker 1: of Yeah. I'm like really emotional, and teachers love the kids,
Speaker 1: and I double dog deare Donald Trump. Okay, National Education
Speaker 1: Association President Garcia, let's talk about this for a moment,
Speaker 1: shall we. Let's work backwards. Donald Trump is over seventy
Speaker 1: years old. How many of the people teaching second graders
Speaker 1: are in their seventies across the country? Less than five percent,
Speaker 1: less than one percent, less than one tenth of one percent.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure there are some, but it's a
Speaker 1: really small number people over sixty. We have data. Now
Speaker 1: the scaremokering. Oh my gosh, everyone and anyone gets this
Speaker 1: and it's gonna ruin them. I have lots of friends,
Speaker 1: actually surprising enough, out West who have had COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: who are young and healthy, and some of them said
Speaker 1: it was almost nothing. Some of them said it was
Speaker 1: kind of like the flu, and really was you know,
Speaker 1: rougher about four or five, six days. But they've survived,
Speaker 1: They're okay, and they're done. That is the reality for
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of people who get this. The reality
Speaker 1: for people under twenty, we remember, we've run the experiment,
Speaker 1: We've gotten now six months. A real data reality for
Speaker 1: people under the age of twenty is that they are
Speaker 1: at a basically one in let's call it ten thousand
Speaker 1: shot of getting hospitalized and being really really sick from this.
Speaker 1: More people just remember this. More people under the age
Speaker 1: of I think it's twelve have died from the flu
Speaker 1: this year. This is not like flu truth or stuff,
Speaker 1: or it's just the flu that no, this is, but
Speaker 1: this is reality. More people have died from the flu
Speaker 1: than have died from COVID under the age of twelve.
Speaker 1: Have we ever shut down all schools in this country
Speaker 1: in your memory because of flu? I mean maybe for
Speaker 1: a few days or something, or maybe for a week,
Speaker 1: but shut it down for a year. The flu is
Speaker 1: more dangerous to kids than COVID. Why then, are you
Speaker 1: shutting down schools for COVID? But you know it would
Speaker 1: be crazy to shut it down for the flu. It's
Speaker 1: because of all these other things we're talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course Trump has to take extra precautions. One he's
Speaker 1: at the high risk age group, and two he's the
Speaker 1: president of the United States. But this notice she didn't
Speaker 1: answer the question our school's ready. No, she doesn't want
Speaker 1: to give up that point because you know, of course,
Speaker 1: this is the National Education Association. This is a bunch
Speaker 1: of socialists getting Democrats elected, pretending how much they care
Speaker 1: about kids. There should never have been public sector unions. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is appalling on it, This is appalling as just
Speaker 1: a matter of principle, people gathering together holding effectively try
Speaker 1: to hold the taxpayers hostage in order to continue to
Speaker 1: raise their wages. I don't know. Some of you probably
Speaker 1: are part of it because you have to be, and
Speaker 1: I understand that. But you know, private sector union is, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're we're coal miners, like we need to band together
Speaker 1: or else some of us are going to die from
Speaker 1: not having enough precautions in the mind. Right, that's private
Speaker 1: sector unions. Public sector unions are well, you know, teachers
Speaker 1: need to get paid for two hours if they take
Speaker 1: a five minute phone call on Saturday. That's got to
Speaker 1: be in the contract, as it was in Wisconsin. I
Speaker 1: just bring it up out of nowhere under Governor Scott Walker.
Speaker 1: Oh and you looked at some of the stuff that
Speaker 1: the teachers union was pushing for in Wisconsin and just
Speaker 1: the general public employees unions were pushing for there and
Speaker 1: had gotten in contracts, so you would never see in
Speaker 1: the private sector, you know, respond to a text message, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get paid for two hours of overtime. Oh that
Speaker 1: seems fair. Right, that's good. Now that one. Technically maybe
Speaker 1: I think it might have had to be phone calls.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I'm just saying, there was some
Speaker 1: crazy stuff in there. What are the two biggest drivers
Speaker 1: of state debt? Very important to know this as we
Speaker 1: talk about the teachers unions. And there was a there
Speaker 1: was a really good documentary years ago called The Cartel,
Speaker 1: And no, it wasn't about any whiney voiced radio host
Speaker 1: who's trying to use every trick in his arsenal behind
Speaker 1: the behind the scenes to block somebody else off of
Speaker 1: getting on radio stations. It was about people who were
Speaker 1: involved in the public sector union in New Jersey for teachers.
Speaker 1: Pretty good documentary. I remember saw it a long time ago,
Speaker 1: but I remember it was. It was good. But here's
Speaker 1: what drives state debt, which is why we also have
Speaker 1: these really high state taxes. High state taxes come well
Speaker 1: because democra it's always want to tax you more. But medicaid,
Speaker 1: that's what really pushes up free healthcare for people who
Speaker 1: are at a certain below a certain income level, and
Speaker 1: also and without particularly strong health outcomes at all. And
Speaker 1: in fact, there are some studies out there that suggest
Speaker 1: that medicaid doesn't have better long term health outcome than
Speaker 1: people who don't have access to medicaid. But that's it
Speaker 1: was the Oregon study. It was called we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that another day. And public sector unions pension benefits essentially
Speaker 1: because people get angry when they find out that, I
Speaker 1: know that the local school chancellor just raised his salary
Speaker 1: from one hundred and seventy five K to you know,
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty Like people can see that and say,
Speaker 1: hold on a second, you're basically an unfiable job. You
Speaker 1: just gotta show up and you're making that kind of money.
Speaker 1: So that's a little bit, but that still happens. There
Speaker 1: are people that make a ton of money all over
Speaker 1: the place in the you just got to look for it.
Speaker 1: In the public sector involved an education, of course, education bureaucrats.
Speaker 1: This is the other part two. You have to separate
Speaker 1: out the education bureaucrats from the teachers, right, and if
Speaker 1: the teachers are doing real work. Some of them are great,
Speaker 1: some of them are terrible, like any profession, but teachers
Speaker 1: are doing important stuff. We all know that. I love
Speaker 1: teachers and friends who are teachers, and so on and
Speaker 1: so forth. Right, I'm always talking about how I generally
Speaker 1: love cops. I love teachers too. They're doing important stuff.
Speaker 1: We need them. Okay, do we need like the third
Speaker 1: assistant vice chancellor for educational inclusion and diversity in the
Speaker 1: district of whatever. Probably not. Do we need to pay
Speaker 1: that person one hundred and fifty grand, certainly not? But
Speaker 1: that still happens. But what's even more, if you want
Speaker 1: to know where all this really gets expensive and puts
Speaker 1: a huge burden on you, Those who listen to this,
Speaker 1: who own a home and are paying taxes on that home.
Speaker 1: Every you remember, you're renting your home from the government,
Speaker 1: even if you own it. I wish people wouldn't have
Speaker 1: that sensibility more. You never really if you live in
Speaker 1: a state where you're taxed for your home, you never
Speaker 1: really own your home. You are renting your home from
Speaker 1: the government after you've paid off, renting it from the
Speaker 1: bank or well you do that at the same time,
Speaker 1: of course, but then you continue to rent it from
Speaker 1: the government. The government will take it from you if
Speaker 1: you don't keep paying them, so you don't really own
Speaker 1: your home. But the reason your taxes on that home
Speaker 1: get raised is to pay for the pensions of public
Speaker 1: sector workers and medicaid predominantly. Those are the spikes. Those
Speaker 1: are the reasons you have these places like Illinois and
Speaker 1: New York. Illinois and New York have enormous obligation debt
Speaker 1: obligations that they can fulfill or over the long run
Speaker 1: that will be ruinous to these states. They're gonna want
Speaker 1: a federal bill out, of course, which is one of
Speaker 1: the things they're trying to do right now, trying to
Speaker 1: bring together this moment of crisis in order to get
Speaker 1: federal dollars to make up for the profligate spending of that.
Speaker 1: I think I use that word correctly. Sometimes the words
Speaker 1: just coming out of mouth, and I even think about it,
Speaker 1: a profligate spending of the past. So that's where we
Speaker 1: are on that. So I just want to note that
Speaker 1: when they're saying, oh, what Trump's it, that's a stupid argument.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. And kids are not adults
Speaker 1: in bars. Adults in bars can be fifty years old,
Speaker 1: have diabetes and a history of asthma, children who and
Speaker 1: in that case, yeah, if they get COVID, that's really bad,
Speaker 1: that's really scary. You know, the people in my life
Speaker 1: who are seniors, I am much more cautious and careful
Speaker 1: around them, limiting time, limiting duration than with people who
Speaker 1: are in their twenties or thirties, because I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the data. But the way that we're being told the
Speaker 1: public health experts want us to live our lives, We're
Speaker 1: all supposed to act like there's no difference here. We're
Speaker 1: all equally. You know, the equality obsession of the left,
Speaker 1: not just equality of opportunity, equality of ends, equal, equal, equal,
Speaker 1: but actually always unequal because of historic oppression and injustice,
Speaker 1: and so they want to equalize by making some of
Speaker 1: us less equal than others. But I know, I'm starting
Speaker 1: to get dizzy just thinking about how the Libs think
Speaker 1: about things makes no sense. They want to treat us
Speaker 1: all like we are equally at risk from this disease
Speaker 1: and make us all live under that oppressive regime when
Speaker 1: it's just not true. It's just not true. The truth
Speaker 1: doesn't really seem to matter to him very much these days,
Speaker 1: does it. You're in the Freedom Hud, this is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sex and Show podcast. You know what we really
Speaker 1: need right now, a multi millionaire celebrity to tell us
Speaker 1: how disappointed in us he is for us not doing
Speaker 1: enough to stop COVID. That's what we need. Play clip six.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I simply do not get it.
Speaker 1: It is literally the least you can do, and if
Speaker 1: you want to, if anybody wants to build up an
Speaker 1: argument about doing the least they can do, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: trust with the driver's license. I mean, when you drive
Speaker 1: a car, you got to opay speed speed, the speed limits,
Speaker 1: You got to use your turn signal, you got to
Speaker 1: avoid hitting pedestrians. If you can't do those three things,
Speaker 1: then I get it. You shouldn't be driving a car
Speaker 1: if you can't wear a mask and wash your hands
Speaker 1: in social distance. I don't understand. I got no respect
Speaker 1: for you, man, I don't buy your argument. Stick to acting.
Speaker 1: Leave public policy to people who read. I'm just gonna say,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we don't need we don't need this guy Win.
Speaker 1: I know he had COVID. I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people have had COVID. That doesn't give you some special
Speaker 1: designation as a COVID expert. How does you know that
Speaker 1: people aren't doing all that. We've been doing this. We've
Speaker 1: been washing our hands at social distancing and doing all
Speaker 1: stuff for months, and the disease still spreads all over
Speaker 1: the place, still has spread all over the country. And
Speaker 1: I think some of you in other parts of the
Speaker 1: country when when it was so bad in New York
Speaker 1: and think, buck come on. The rest of the country's fine.
Speaker 1: Now it's spread other places, but it is spreading to
Speaker 1: younger people. It is spreading at a time when we
Speaker 1: know more about it, don't yet have a really good treatment,
Speaker 1: but we're getting closer. Hopefully we'll see if hydroxy chloroquin
Speaker 1: earlier in the process. The progression of the disease is
Speaker 1: as useful as that most recent study, the Surprise study
Speaker 1: from CNN that's CNN talked about, says, but we're doing
Speaker 1: better at handling this. So you know, on the one hand,
Speaker 1: you've got people like Tom I was gonna say, Tom Cruise,
Speaker 1: what's his name, Tom Hanks, might as well hear from
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise, same same thing, doing the mask and hand
Speaker 1: wash shaming situation when we've we've all been living in
Speaker 1: a world of social distance, mask can washing for months
Speaker 1: and months and months, and you know, I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: probably helped a little bit in terms of limiting transmission.
Speaker 1: But remember, all you need is one person who has
Speaker 1: the disease who is in a situation where they don't
Speaker 1: do that, and now they can spread it to a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of folks. So you know, we're really, you know,
Speaker 1: we're being held to this impossible standard. How does anybody
Speaker 1: know that we're not doing enough? I think that a
Speaker 1: lot of us have done a ton. But to borrow
Speaker 1: from his analogy about driving a car, Okay, yeah, there
Speaker 1: are speed limits. Guess what if we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about masks and speed limits and driving, mister Hanks, speed
Speaker 1: limits change. Some places it's thirty five, some places it's
Speaker 1: fifty five. There's not a speed limit for everything. There
Speaker 1: could be, and that would be dumb and people wouldn't
Speaker 1: want to do that, and everything would be more expensive
Speaker 1: and slower and more annoying in terms of transportation. But no,
Speaker 1: some places you go sixty five, some places you go
Speaker 1: twenty five because of the conditions around it. That's how
Speaker 1: I approach masking. Sometimes, yeah, wear a mask because you're
Speaker 1: in a particular circumstance where you could be spreading and
Speaker 1: even a little bit of additional help. But outside, all
Speaker 1: the time, in classrooms in Europe, the kids aren't wearing
Speaker 1: masks and they're fine. So I find his analogy actually
Speaker 1: quite useful because the mask absolutists are the equivalent of
Speaker 1: people who are saying, why can't you be responsible? Tried
Speaker 1: the speed limit, and people like me are saying, okay,
Speaker 1: which speed limit. I'm not saying we can't have a
Speaker 1: speed limit, but how fast is it? Twenty miles on
Speaker 1: our nationwide that would be a bad idea fifty five
Speaker 1: miles on our nationwide. Maybe it should be dependent upon
Speaker 1: the circumstances you are applying it to. Hashtag science, hashtag data.
Speaker 1: But also don't be somebody who takes it takes your
Speaker 1: mask fury too far. Here was a guy in Costco
Speaker 1: who was clearly having a bad day and got fired
Speaker 1: from his job as a result of this exchange. I
Speaker 1: think it did not help his cause that he had
Speaker 1: a T shirt on that said ruling the world since
Speaker 1: seventeen seventy six or something like that. I think that
Speaker 1: that further triggered the libs that made this all go
Speaker 1: quite viral. Pro some mark click clip one. Here's from you.
Speaker 1: You're harassing me. I'm not. You're gonna closed this job
Speaker 1: back to go for your foo down. Yeah. See, libs
Speaker 1: are allowed to say they feel threatened for anything. We'll
Speaker 1: get into this they I feel threatened by that letter
Speaker 1: you wrote about free speech. I'm threatened. I feel unsafe.
Speaker 1: All right. This is a this is a tactic they deploy.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna work if you're a white male who
Speaker 1: I don't even know if this guy's a conservative or not.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. But if you're a white male who
Speaker 1: seems a bit physically imposing under the circumstances and you're screaming,
Speaker 1: I feel threatened. Unfortunately that's gonna go against you. So
Speaker 1: you know, I won't allow the mask shamers to get
Speaker 1: the best of you by forcing an error here, by
Speaker 1: bringing you to a place of rage where you get
Speaker 1: put on video and lose your job. You know, people
Speaker 1: love to do this thing now of catch individuals in
Speaker 1: their worst moments on video and have it go viral,
Speaker 1: and this public shaming that comes along with it. It's
Speaker 1: I don't know how we ever make this go away.
Speaker 1: I don't think it is. But here's the one part
Speaker 1: of it that if there is a silver lining or
Speaker 1: some aspect of it that we can say is good,
Speaker 1: at least, it means that every single person listening to this,
Speaker 1: you know that the things I'm talking about with cancel
Speaker 1: culture and the consequences of the socialist absolutism that is
Speaker 1: now dominant in all of our major cultural institutions in
Speaker 1: this country in some way, that and the HR departments
Speaker 1: have been overtaken by this. And that just goes to
Speaker 1: show you it affects you. This isn't just for the people,
Speaker 1: the politicians and the media people that are making this
Speaker 1: argument in public or public figures. What used to be
Speaker 1: a concern of public figures is now a problem for
Speaker 1: every single person listening to this all of the country.
Speaker 1: I can't say all the world necessarily, but well over
Speaker 1: the world too, because they'll come after you as an
Speaker 1: American online, even if you live over in South Korea
Speaker 1: or the Czech Republic or wherever. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,
Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: All right, everybody, it's time for the Fouci update about
Speaker 1: the latest numbers, the data, the mitigation. You know, caution,
Speaker 1: science words. It's time for Fouci to weigh in because
Speaker 1: you may be thinking to yourself, Oh, at some point,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get my life back, but Fouci's here to
Speaker 1: be like, probably not. You're gonna be living with this
Speaker 1: for like the next I don't know, fifty sixty years,
Speaker 1: maybe however much time you got, I'm not sure. No
Speaker 1: big whoop, but you know, just stay home, don't do
Speaker 1: win anything fun, don't see anybody you love, don't you know,
Speaker 1: lift your mask up too long while you're eating food. Mitigation.
Speaker 1: Fauci's out there to make sure that we all think
Speaker 1: that we're never gonna win. So that's good to know
Speaker 1: until a vaccine, which who knows when the vaccine will come. Increasingly,
Speaker 1: it's looking like this is going to be similar to
Speaker 1: a flu vaccine where they're throwing darts at a board.
Speaker 1: This year, maybe we get it next year, maybe we don't,
Speaker 1: and you know, a small percentage over all the country
Speaker 1: is even gonna be taking it, say small, you know,
Speaker 1: roughly thirty to forty percent. I think of Americans get
Speaker 1: a flu vaccine every year, it's called about thirty. That's
Speaker 1: not that many in the grand scheme of things. It helps,
Speaker 1: but it only helps if the vaccine is effective, and
Speaker 1: who knows if it really is well. They don't usually
Speaker 1: know until they've made it, and then by the time
Speaker 1: they make an updated vaccine, it's too late in the
Speaker 1: season and maybe you've already gotten the flu. But that's
Speaker 1: what we're all seeing, that's what we all deal with.
Speaker 1: So now I think it's time for us to look
Speaker 1: at where the data is, where the numbers are, and
Speaker 1: as is my as is my custom, I like to
Speaker 1: look at the CDC case number and death number every
Speaker 1: day before I come on the show and tell you
Speaker 1: the latest information. So let's see what I can get.
Speaker 1: I mean, I told you this yesterday, right CDC, CDC deaths,
Speaker 1: Let's see what they say from this for COVID, and
Speaker 1: it's usually in a two hundred to three hundred range.
Speaker 1: Three hundred and oh, well, this is I'm sorry, this
Speaker 1: is They haven't yet as I'm on there, they haven't
Speaker 1: yet updated yet. But three and twenty two deaths yesterday,
Speaker 1: forty six thousand new cases. Okay, shouldn't that tell us
Speaker 1: that something's going on here? If we're at a peak
Speaker 1: in cases and have been now for a week, a
Speaker 1: week and a half, and you have hospitalizations that are
Speaker 1: much shorter even for those who are hospitalized from this,
Speaker 1: and the death number is down, you know, eighty to
Speaker 1: ninety percent depending on account you're talking about, isn't something
Speaker 1: going on that's worthwhile? Well, doctor Fauci wants you know, no, no,
Speaker 1: don't feel better about this. It's not a good story.
Speaker 1: You know. Here's what I gotta say, Blake, clip five.
Speaker 1: I want to emphasize just this because because it's such important.
Speaker 1: But the senator just said that it's a false narrative
Speaker 1: to take comfort in a lower rate of death. There's
Speaker 1: so many other things that are very dangerous and bad
Speaker 1: about this virus. Don't get yourself into false complacency. What
Speaker 1: is he talking about? However, then now we're going to
Speaker 1: get to the oh, well, people who survive, you know,
Speaker 1: some of them say they have lingering symptoms or they
Speaker 1: have Okay, so or are we going to then no
Speaker 1: notice that we were told shutdown or people will die?
Speaker 1: And now we have numbers about how many people are
Speaker 1: dying from this, and they don't justify a shutdown. So
Speaker 1: now they're going to say that the symptoms that you
Speaker 1: have or the possibility of the lingering effects of this,
Speaker 1: that's going to justify a shutdown. See how see how
Speaker 1: we can never get out of shutdown with these people.
Speaker 1: The data that's used to justify it today is data
Speaker 1: that tomorrow they will forget all about and they'll tell
Speaker 1: you sorry, we have a new metric we're going to use, right,
Speaker 1: we have a new system of how we're going to
Speaker 1: gauge when it's when it's safe. This is a subjective term.
Speaker 1: Nothing is entirely safe really in life. There's risk with
Speaker 1: going outside your house. As I'm fond of saying, because
Speaker 1: it's a line that I remember from the movie heat
Speaker 1: with al paccino, you get killed walking your doggie. Some
Speaker 1: of you will catch that. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: only if you've seen a heat a hundred times for
Speaker 1: some reason like I have. But it's true. And I
Speaker 1: still walk my dog three times a day, a little
Speaker 1: to lose. She's she's an adorable, chubby little monster. But
Speaker 1: this is what we're dealing with now. We can't even
Speaker 1: it's a false narrative for the deaths of doubt. No,
Speaker 1: that's not a falseter. If that's really important, that's really important.
Speaker 1: And you know, I remember when Chris Cuomo had this
Speaker 1: and he was in the you know, he was in
Speaker 1: the mansion and the Hamptons. He's like everybody listening to
Speaker 1: the doctors. You know, Man, I can't even take my
Speaker 1: protein wakend or these days because I'm just like so
Speaker 1: tired all the time. And Faucci was calling him every night.
Speaker 1: Apparently that was my first big red flag that something's
Speaker 1: wrong with doctor Faucci. Here, you got time, you're supposed
Speaker 1: to be running the coronavirus effort. You're sucking up to
Speaker 1: Chris Cuomo letting them know, you know you're gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be fine. So when a celebrity, you know,
Speaker 1: lib journo gets this, the message is, ah, you're young,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be fine. But for the rest of us,
Speaker 1: it's panic, stay panicked. When does it end? When does
Speaker 1: it end? Are we now going to be told about
Speaker 1: some people here and there have some symptoms of this
Speaker 1: that lingers. Guess what, Some people have symptoms of a
Speaker 1: lot of things that can linger. But notice they keep
Speaker 1: the goalposts or the goalposts are used to get what
Speaker 1: they want when they want it, and then they move
Speaker 1: them and then they shut us down again explicitly. That's
Speaker 1: what they've done in New York. Oh you know, we
Speaker 1: need to get to this for phase three reopen. Well,
Speaker 1: phase three is not going to be what we said
Speaker 1: it was because other places are having problems. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: So when it's really bad in New York, a very
Speaker 1: blue Democrat state, we obviously are on the most severe
Speaker 1: lockdown they can possibly come up with. And then when
Speaker 1: things get better over time because the virus has passed
Speaker 1: through and because it's summertime and people are outdoors more.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's because of all of our mitigation. Sure
Speaker 1: it is, as that happens, Yeah, because every year the
Speaker 1: flu goes away because of all the hand washing and
Speaker 1: social distancing that goes on. Right, think about this for yourself.
Speaker 1: Don't allow these people to to kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: intellectually browbeat you or blackmail you into thinking things that
Speaker 1: don't make any sense every day. No, i'mque almost get Oh,
Speaker 1: we did all these things so but we was we
Speaker 1: was so strong with the social distancing and the masks,
Speaker 1: and we use the masks and the social distancing so
Speaker 1: well that now we're at the lower level of cases.
Speaker 1: Why are we at lower level of cases because you
Speaker 1: listen to me and don't ask me any questions about
Speaker 1: the nursing homes. That's what has actually happened here. If
Speaker 1: you are going to believe Democrat propaganda and absurd nonsense,
Speaker 1: right that that sort of Look at other respiratory infections,
Speaker 1: they spike and then they go down down every year
Speaker 1: in summertime. That's just the way it happens. That doesn't
Speaker 1: mean it's gone, but it spikes and it goes down.
Speaker 1: In this case, we have a newly introduced infection that
Speaker 1: has spread to other part. But it's just it is
Speaker 1: the first. He is right that this is give credit
Speaker 1: where through it a fauci. This is the first wave.
Speaker 1: Place sixteen. Please, the current state is really not good
Speaker 1: in the sense that, as you know, we had been
Speaker 1: in a situation we were averaging about twenty thousand new
Speaker 1: cases a day, and then a series of circumstances associated
Speaker 1: with various states and cities trying to open up in
Speaker 1: the sense of getting back to some form of normality,
Speaker 1: has led to a situation where we now had record
Speaker 1: breaking cases. Two days ago it was at fifty seven thousand,
Speaker 1: five hundred. So within a period of a week and
Speaker 1: a half, we've almost doubled the number of cases. You know,
Speaker 1: what's going to happen, And as I've said, and get
Speaker 1: ready for this, Yes, there's a spike, there's a surge,
Speaker 1: there'll be additional hospitalizations, and some people, unfortunately, will die
Speaker 1: from this disease. That's going to happen no matter what
Speaker 1: we do, no matter what we say, that's just going
Speaker 1: to happen. It has been happening, it will continue to happen.
Speaker 1: You know, we take precautions, you're trying to trying to
Speaker 1: do reasonable things to limit your exposure, but lockdown is
Speaker 1: not reasonable, that's the point. And it'll drop in these
Speaker 1: other places the same way that it has dropped in
Speaker 1: New York. It'll peak and it'll go down the same
Speaker 1: way it has all over the world. Places that have lockdowns,
Speaker 1: places that don't have lockdowns. I mean, there's a piece
Speaker 1: today in the New York Times Sweden as a cautionary tale.
Speaker 1: Why is it a cautionary tale. They're in the middle
Speaker 1: of the pack in Europe, you know, not as good
Speaker 1: as Norway and Denmark, but way better than the UK,
Speaker 1: than Spain, then Italy, then Belgium. Belgium was crushed by
Speaker 1: this disease. So why are we singling out Sweden because
Speaker 1: Sweden did not lockdown its economy. Oh so now they're saying, well,
Speaker 1: the economy still got hurt. Okay, there are reasons to
Speaker 1: not lockdown an economy that aren't just about economic productivity.
Speaker 1: Letting people live there, freaking lives. That's a part of
Speaker 1: this too, freedom choice, a reason to get up in
Speaker 1: the morning. All right, that's starting to feel like we're
Speaker 1: in that scene in the Matrix where all the human
Speaker 1: beings are in the pink gou and being used as
Speaker 1: batteries for the matrix to perpetuate itself. That's kind of
Speaker 1: what lockdown starts to feel like after awhile, stay home,
Speaker 1: eat lots of food, don't move, don't go to the gym,
Speaker 1: don't go to parks, don't go to beach. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like we're all little batteries feeding the statust overlords
Speaker 1: in our system until the Democrats can take over and
Speaker 1: then maybe we can all get out from the pouch
Speaker 1: covered in pink gou You're in the Freedom Hunt. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Okay, a victory
Speaker 1: today the Supreme Court for the Little Sisters of the
Speaker 1: Poor in case you had forgotten, because I think we've
Speaker 1: got so much these days, totally understandable that this might
Speaker 1: have slipped out of of the memory banks a little bit.
Speaker 1: The Little Sisters of the Poor were hounded. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're targeted by the Obama administration Department of Justice because
Speaker 1: this is a group of nuns who did not want
Speaker 1: to pay through their healthcare for birth control. And also
Speaker 1: I think Plan B was the was the other part
Speaker 1: of this that was troubling for them. So they as
Speaker 1: because as a religious first of all, they're nuns, so
Speaker 1: they're at least from all that we know, not engaging
Speaker 1: in any activity that will require birth control. But more
Speaker 1: than that, for their employees or people who work with them,
Speaker 1: they do they have a moral objection to having their
Speaker 1: funds that allow them to operate as nuns to go
Speaker 1: to paying for birth control. And this is a this
Speaker 1: is a real consideration for them. This is a a
Speaker 1: A I'm trying to I'm blanking on the on the term.
Speaker 1: But a religious conviction, a sincere religious conviction. There we go,
Speaker 1: sincerely held belief. That's what I was trying to think
Speaker 1: of as the term. And today, by a seven two decision,
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court said, yeah, you can't. You can't make
Speaker 1: these nuns pay for these these products. You can't make
Speaker 1: the little sisters of the poor pay for contraception. That's
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit too much. Now I
Speaker 1: understand this is all big win. First of all, it's
Speaker 1: been an abysmal month in the Supreme Court for people
Speaker 1: who are you care about constitutional rights and individual freedoms
Speaker 1: and all the rest of it. It's it's been an
Speaker 1: abysmal month. Okay, But yeah, okay, this was the right decision.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, it wasn't nine oh seven two. So
Speaker 1: tom or the least capable mind on the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: and Ginsburg, who is just a I mean, it's like
Speaker 1: you have the head of Planned Parenthood on the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court effectively. I know she was a senior council the ACLU,
Speaker 1: but you know, you might It's like it's like the
Speaker 1: Libs managed to put the head of Planned Parenthood on
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court and say, look, see she's a genius.
Speaker 1: So those two Libs said no, no, they should be
Speaker 1: able to make them do this. And there's a whole
Speaker 1: argument that I'm not even really going to get into today,
Speaker 1: where it's is contraception really is it? Is it healthcare
Speaker 1: or is it a decision that involves one's health. It's
Speaker 1: not necessarily the same thing. But here's where I come
Speaker 1: down on this one. I find it very difficult to
Speaker 1: view this as a cause of celebration. I think it's
Speaker 1: more just an exhalation of relief. Okay, so religious freedom
Speaker 1: hasn't had yet another nail put in its coffin. But
Speaker 1: here's where I see this going. They're not going to
Speaker 1: stop harassing religious groups with things like this. They're still
Speaker 1: they're still going to sue nuns. The Libs haven't changed
Speaker 1: their minds on any of this. They're not going to
Speaker 1: respect this as precedent, and the left when it comes
Speaker 1: up for a big momentous decision, they all of a
Speaker 1: sudden don't care about precedent. When a conservative quote unquote
Speaker 1: judge like Roberts wants to give the Libs what they want, Oh,
Speaker 1: there's a precedent to lean on her. Oh we need
Speaker 1: to we need to sort of split this decision down
Speaker 1: the middle. We don't want to have the court be
Speaker 1: a tool of politics when it is obviously being used
Speaker 1: by the left as a tool politics. So they've ruled
Speaker 1: in favor of the little sisters of the poor. But
Speaker 1: this fight is not even a little bit over maybe
Speaker 1: this particular cases, but they're still going to try to
Speaker 1: find ways to make Christians bend the knee to the
Speaker 1: liberal agenda. And one area where you can see this
Speaker 1: is definitely going to happen is in the realm of
Speaker 1: transgender rights. Because of the decision that Gorset's signed onto.
Speaker 1: Now you're going to see challenges under the emboldened transgender
Speaker 1: rights doctrine in the Supreme Court, now, which Gorset, you know, blessed.
Speaker 1: Now you're going to see religious institutions assaulted on those grounds.
Speaker 1: You know, why won't you at your Catholic school higher
Speaker 1: this transgender you know that this transgender teacher, or you know,
Speaker 1: why won't you allow this transgender person to become a
Speaker 1: priest or whatever it is. That's there's going to be
Speaker 1: more lawsuits. There's gonna be They're just going to keep
Speaker 1: the lawfare against religious faith will continue against Christian and
Speaker 1: Conservative Orthodox Jewish faith, it will continue against other religions.
Speaker 1: The ACLU is going to be very hands off. I
Speaker 1: can assure you on that. No, they're they're allowed to
Speaker 1: do what they need to do, that they have religious
Speaker 1: freedom because they're not part of, you know, in the
Speaker 1: minds of liberals, the system of oppression and white supremacy
Speaker 1: that has overtaken this country or has always been the
Speaker 1: foundation of this country, depending on which lib you talk to.
Speaker 1: So here you have a victory, but I think it'll
Speaker 1: be somewhat fleeting, and it's really like, think of it.
Speaker 1: Instead of winning. It's as though they have repelled an
Speaker 1: assault on religious freedom. But inside the keep of the castle.
Speaker 1: I mean this, if this had gone against them, you'd
Speaker 1: have to ask what's really left of religious freedom? What
Speaker 1: can you not be told to do. Can you tell
Speaker 1: tell nuns they have to directly pay out of their
Speaker 1: pocket to pay for other people's abortions. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: what is too far. So yes, they were able to
Speaker 1: prevent a total collapse here, but we are you know,
Speaker 1: and I think analogies are useful here. We are defending.
Speaker 1: We are defending on the on our own ten yard
Speaker 1: line of religious liberty. We are not running down to
Speaker 1: their end zone spiking the football and doing a victory dance. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: This is almost like a goal line stand for the
Speaker 1: First Amendment. And they're going to keep on running it
Speaker 1: up the middle until they get through. That's their plan.
Speaker 1: And if you look at the last well, the last
Speaker 1: fifty years of Supreme Court jurisprudence, they're basically winning and
Speaker 1: keep doing it because when their victories are forever conservative victories,
Speaker 1: conserving the society we have as we know it and
Speaker 1: the Constitution as it was written, those are those are
Speaker 1: always undersustained assault until there's a breach, and then legally,
Speaker 1: culturally psychologically this country has accepted, well, when the Libs
Speaker 1: get what they want on the court, that's forever, that
Speaker 1: that sacrocent can't be changed. When conservatives have a defense
Speaker 1: of freedom or liberty. No, no no, no, just give it time.
Speaker 1: There'll be another opportunity to tear it down. There'll be
Speaker 1: another opportunity to erode what the court has already decided.
Speaker 1: So you know, we are on perpetual defense. That's really
Speaker 1: we do not look at things like the Second Amendment.
Speaker 1: They won't even take up cases to defend the Second Amendment.
Speaker 1: So what you have are states and various Democrat prosecutors
Speaker 1: and you know, law enforcement entities just keep on doing
Speaker 1: everything it can to make it impossible to get it gone,
Speaker 1: make it annoying to be able to you know, take
Speaker 1: it anywhere, make sure that there's really strict rules about
Speaker 1: magazine capacity, all this nonsense. Supreme courts are like, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the Second Amendment, but you know, you
Speaker 1: got to be able to have it in your home
Speaker 1: if you pass a bunch of annoying tests and deal
Speaker 1: with all kinds of stuff that you would not have
Speaker 1: to deal with otherwise. That's that's as much. That's as
Speaker 1: far as they're willing to go on this. So am
Speaker 1: I looking at this and saying it's a great thing.
Speaker 1: I think you have to look at this and say okay,
Speaker 1: this is going Oh there was another another case as
Speaker 1: well that came down that said that a person two
Speaker 1: people who were fired from a Catholic instant from a
Speaker 1: Catholic school, that the schools aren't covered under the same
Speaker 1: employment law protections because they're religious institutions as other places.
Speaker 1: So I mean, there's there's a couple of points data
Speaker 1: points in favor here. But when you think about some
Speaker 1: of the other cases that have come down, when you
Speaker 1: think about the ruling on on transgen sex to include
Speaker 1: gender identity, which is just another one of these decisions
Speaker 1: that anybody who is being honest will look back on
Speaker 1: and say, how could they have done so much violence
Speaker 1: to the law here. So that's that's inevitable. And then
Speaker 1: you have the DACA case where Obama can decide that
Speaker 1: he can do something that's unconstitutional. There is not a
Speaker 1: court that will stop him with DACA. And then Trump
Speaker 1: can come in and say, well, I'm going to use
Speaker 1: my same executive power authority that Obama had to not
Speaker 1: make that executive decision that he made, and the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court will say, we don't like your reasons for it.
Speaker 1: So Administrative Procedures Act BAMP blocked. Really, yes, really, this
Speaker 1: is the country we live in now, folks. Remember these
Speaker 1: are all just human beings making these decisions. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't have some court of we call it the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. But these are just people. They're just lawyers.
Speaker 1: And there are people that want to be you know,
Speaker 1: they want their kids to be treated nicely in school,
Speaker 1: and they want you know, legal articles to reflect their brilliance.
Speaker 1: And they have egos and they have their own policy predilections.
Speaker 1: And this is why it's so important that it is
Speaker 1: all rooted in the actual text and purpose of the Constitution.
Speaker 1: But no, we have increasingly it's just the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: as another super legislature. And I don't know how we
Speaker 1: turn this back. Oh and the Libs will pack the
Speaker 1: court as soon as they can, don't don't think they won't.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the bus shows. Remember to subscribe
Speaker 1: on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. How snobby and gutless and stupid is our
Speaker 1: news media? Now, I know that's a very it's very broad, right,
Speaker 1: A lot of people in news media, But but who
Speaker 1: are some of the big names in the legacy LIB
Speaker 1: news media that you think of, and you would have
Speaker 1: to wonder at what length are they willing to go
Speaker 1: to continue this charade that Donald Trump is the worst
Speaker 1: person who have ever been in the Oval office in
Speaker 1: the history of the world. Though Donald Trump is just
Speaker 1: the worst person on the planet, and that liberal insanity
Speaker 1: that we've all been put through for the last six
Speaker 1: weeks isn't really a problem. I mean, how can anyone
Speaker 1: really make that argument given what we are seeing in cities.
Speaker 1: But no, bro Cuomo and Don Lemon, they over at
Speaker 1: CNN and they think this is up a point of humor.
Speaker 1: They think this is ridiculous that Democrats cities are like
Speaker 1: so full of crime. No, they are, actually, But here's
Speaker 1: here's what the multi millionaire entirely replaceable by anybody who
Speaker 1: works for any local news station anywhere in the country,
Speaker 1: of course, but here's what they they have to say
Speaker 1: about the state of crime in cities in America right now.
Speaker 1: Play clip two. Trump's um pole numbers go south, they
Speaker 1: ain with no position on the Confederate flag. Yeah, Democratic
Speaker 1: cities are in chaos right now. Is this what you
Speaker 1: want from Joe Biden? And they're gonna take your country away?
Speaker 1: And they're taking down the statues, and crime is rising.
Speaker 1: It's so bad, and again defunding police. It's like, ha,
Speaker 1: crime is rising. Ha ha ha ha ha haa a
Speaker 1: lot of people are dying, you morons, but haha, crime
Speaker 1: is rising. Huh. That's a fact. That's a fact in
Speaker 1: New York. It's a fact in Chicago. I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: a fact a lot of other cities. If you started
Speaker 1: to crunch the numbers, people are getting shot, Cops aren't
Speaker 1: feeling supportive enough to do their jobs. Every cop you
Speaker 1: talk to will tell you this. In Atlanta, they've had
Speaker 1: to call in the National Guard because of all of
Speaker 1: the violence. This is funny. I mean, did these morons
Speaker 1: even read the website that they work for technically CNN?
Speaker 1: I mean, do they even know what's going on? But
Speaker 1: all that matters? Oh Trump, Yeah, you know what the
Speaker 1: biggest problem facing the country is. Has a journalist asked
Speaker 1: Trump in the last six hours about the Confederate flag.
Speaker 1: That's the real concern that we should all have, not
Speaker 1: people getting shot and murdered in the streets because of
Speaker 1: trash heaps like CNN that promote lines constantly. Oh, it's
Speaker 1: so dangerous for people because of cops. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: how could we all look at what the cops are doing.
Speaker 1: They're all frauds. Trust me, pro Cuomo, don them all.
Speaker 1: Any of the CNN anchors, any of the CNN correspondence.
Speaker 1: They heard something go bump in the night, they heard
Speaker 1: a problem at their window or at their front door,
Speaker 1: they'd call the cops and they'd be begging for them
Speaker 1: to get there as soon as possible. We all know this,
Speaker 1: but yet they have no problem going on TV and
Speaker 1: just trashing them. You might say, oh, buck, but no,
Speaker 1: they're just talking about But no, they're not. They're they're
Speaker 1: defund Oh defund cop. That's funny. It's actually happening in
Speaker 1: places they're they're pulling funding from the NYPD in New
Speaker 1: York City to give more broadband access to housing projects.
Speaker 1: That's supposed to Oh, if people have WiFi, they'll be
Speaker 1: less shootings. They really think this, and they don't think
Speaker 1: that that's at CNN. They don't think that's a absurd. No, No,
Speaker 1: they mock. They mock the people that have a problem
Speaker 1: with the spike and crime. They mock people like me
Speaker 1: who live in New York, who live in Midtown Manhattan,
Speaker 1: right in the middle of it. I don't live in
Speaker 1: a multimillion dollar mansion. I live in a small apartment,
Speaker 1: just trying to pay my bills, just trying to go
Speaker 1: about my life. And there's a sense that every New
Speaker 1: Yorker will tell you that it is less safe here
Speaker 1: on the streets at night. There are more aggressive, belligerent,
Speaker 1: game dangerous vagrants then you usually see on New York
Speaker 1: City streets. I saw another hypodermic needle on the street
Speaker 1: on my block yesterday. I saw a guys shooting up
Speaker 1: Heroin a few weeks ago in broad daylight. These are
Speaker 1: not normal things for where I love. I've had a
Speaker 1: night where it was like the purge outside and people
Speaker 1: were shattering windows and going crazy in the most expensive
Speaker 1: shopping district in New York, perhaps in the world, certainly
Speaker 1: the most famous. And they think this is all funny.
Speaker 1: These morons think this is funny. But but what about
Speaker 1: what about the message of BLM book We're yeah, a
Speaker 1: nice try. The message of BLM has turned into destroy America,
Speaker 1: undermine the country, pulled down the statues, get rid of
Speaker 1: the founders, and do everything we say or else and
Speaker 1: no jokes, no free speech, no fun that's also a
Speaker 1: part of this right don't have to don't enjoy yourself
Speaker 1: unless we say you can. One of one of the
Speaker 1: biggest areas of victory for the woke left, and it's
Speaker 1: it's uh. I don't know how we turn this back,
Speaker 1: because it's about a sensibility. It's about cultural norms. You
Speaker 1: can't make jokes anymore. You can't make jokes. No, not
Speaker 1: allowed to make fun of things, you know. I you
Speaker 1: can have that woman who's like, it's frightening to people
Speaker 1: that you have Hey, hey, remember that woman I forgetting
Speaker 1: Robin something or other. It's frightening that you have a
Speaker 1: child who is brown sitting on your lap and you're
Speaker 1: a white man. She's freaking out in the I played
Speaker 1: the audio for really, you know, there are a lot
Speaker 1: of really funny things I could say about her, but
Speaker 1: better watch out. Oh that's you know, that sounds like
Speaker 1: misogynistic or something. You know, Oh in there, come after.
Speaker 1: You can't make fun, can't make The left deserves mountains
Speaker 1: of ridicule. And people who were out there ruining careers
Speaker 1: and canceling people and getting them fired and making it
Speaker 1: hard for them to support themselves and their families and
Speaker 1: humiliating them. And if you mock them, and they deserve
Speaker 1: to be mocked, but you go after some of their
Speaker 1: protected leftism, ooho you nobody will stand up for you.
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna say, oh, that's okay. I've said before, I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't do accents of non white individuals on radio.
Speaker 1: And this is no one's ever told me that rule.
Speaker 1: I just know, right. I can do Italian and Russian
Speaker 1: and English and Irish. There are a lot of other
Speaker 1: accents I could do not if I don't want to
Speaker 1: get canceled. Why do we accept that can't make jokes,
Speaker 1: can't be funny. If you're a LIB, they'll forgive you
Speaker 1: even for wearing black face back in the day, as
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel did. Right. If you're a LIB, then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the rules are a little But even
Speaker 1: libs have to be careful. Sometimes they'll they'll feed their
Speaker 1: own to the mob, just so they can maintain that
Speaker 1: degree of power. But humor is now public. Humor is
Speaker 1: very difficult making jokes, making fun of anybody on the left,
Speaker 1: because what they will do is find an isom to
Speaker 1: tie your joke to and to attack you with it
Speaker 1: and and say you're a bad person, and we can't
Speaker 1: we can't just all laugh at and say, oh god,
Speaker 1: that was actually kind of funny. That was a funny joke.
Speaker 1: Oh No, they can ridicule us in the most and
Speaker 1: they think it's of course really funny, right, they can
Speaker 1: ridicule Oh you know, remember the guy that went on
Speaker 1: the one on CNN and he's like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: those those idiots with their with their bobbles and their
Speaker 1: guns and the whole you know, he did that whole
Speaker 1: thing on CNN. You can make fun of, make fun
Speaker 1: of of white Christians in every way as in a
Speaker 1: nasty fashion as you want, and that's fine. But if
Speaker 1: you make a joke about the absurdity of people who
Speaker 1: are like there are thirty seven gender you're like, what, no,
Speaker 1: there's not who be careful watch out. This is a
Speaker 1: huge uh, this is a huge weapon that's been taken
Speaker 1: off the table rhetorically speaking for pushing back on this insanity.
Speaker 1: One thing that totalitarians cannot abide is mockery. They can't
Speaker 1: do it. You mock them, you make fun of them,
Speaker 1: you erode their power. They know it, and the left
Speaker 1: is screaming for ridicule right now, all these you know,
Speaker 1: all these white Wellesley graduates who were like, I hate
Speaker 1: the cops. How do you sleep at night? A little
Speaker 1: screaming of them? And everything people should be they should
Speaker 1: be getting made fun of all other place. But are
Speaker 1: you making fun of Black Lives Matter? No, I'm making
Speaker 1: fun of one moron who's but but you know, even
Speaker 1: go to that point, could you can you you can
Speaker 1: now start to debate the movement? Can you make fun
Speaker 1: of the movement? Do you see anybody making fun of
Speaker 1: the movie? This is a This is a huge part
Speaker 1: of discourse and of our culture that we've effectively just
Speaker 1: seeded this to the other side. No jokes that upset
Speaker 1: the left or else. We've got to find a way
Speaker 1: to turn that around. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. At first it sounds good, right,
Speaker 1: a letter on justice and open debate. Say to yourself,
Speaker 1: all right, this is what we need, right, We need
Speaker 1: to start letting people think and talk and not have
Speaker 1: this crazy cancel culture stuff everywhere and not have all
Speaker 1: this nonsense going on. Right, this is what everybody would
Speaker 1: initially think as they saw, or at least a lot
Speaker 1: of people would as they saw the Harper's Magazine letter
Speaker 1: on justice and open debate. And you know there's some famous,
Speaker 1: some famous folks. JK. Rowling sign this, you know, for
Speaker 1: all you Griffin Doors or or Snapes or I've never
Speaker 1: read the Harry Potter books. That producer mark if you
Speaker 1: read them? Yes, I love them dearly, really yeah, I
Speaker 1: love the books, love the movies. We've discussed this before.
Speaker 1: You're so deadpan, dude, I can never know if you're
Speaker 1: messing in the one hundred percent serious. I love the
Speaker 1: Harry Potter movies and books. So okay, so he knows
Speaker 1: a lot more about that idea. I've seen one of
Speaker 1: the movies and I've read none of the books. Anyway,
Speaker 1: she's a billionaire author. J. K. Rowling, Salmon Rushdie on
Speaker 1: the list. Let's see who else that you would know.
Speaker 1: Perhaps I don't know, Glorious Steinhum, I don't know. There's
Speaker 1: there's other people on here too, David Frum, who thinks
Speaker 1: he's a lot smarter than he is. John mcquarter, he's
Speaker 1: a smart dude over Clumbia University. Anyway. Some people you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of people you don't. A bunch of writers
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, intellectuals or whatever, and this is
Speaker 1: how they write the first paragraph. So get ready for
Speaker 1: our cultural institutions are facing a moment of trial. Powerful
Speaker 1: protests for racial and social justice are leading to overdue
Speaker 1: demands for police reform, along with wider calls for greater
Speaker 1: equality and inclusion across our society, not least in higher education, journalism, philosophy,
Speaker 1: a philanthropy, and the arts. But this needed reckoning has
Speaker 1: also intensified a new set of moral attitudes and political
Speaker 1: commitments that tend to weaken our norms of open debate
Speaker 1: and tolerance of differences in favor of ideological conformity. As
Speaker 1: we applaud the first development, we also raise our voices
Speaker 1: against the second. The forces of illiberalism are gaining strength
Speaker 1: throughout the world and have a powerful ally in Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: who represents a real threat to democracy. But resistance must
Speaker 1: not be allowed to harden into its own brand of
Speaker 1: dogma or coercion, which right wing demagogues are already exploiting.
Speaker 1: The democratic inclusion we want can be achieved only if
Speaker 1: we speak out against the intolerant climate that is set
Speaker 1: on all sides, and then it goes on a little
Speaker 1: more free expression, bah bah artists freedom, you know a
Speaker 1: little bit of that stuff. Let me just say that
Speaker 1: this is hilarious. It is SAIDs. They're writing about what
Speaker 1: is really canceled culture and the dogmatic authoritarian mania of
Speaker 1: the democrat, socialist, leftist political side. Okay, the left, the libs.
Speaker 1: This is coming from them, is this is their reality, right,
Speaker 1: But just so that they like cover themselves a little bit,
Speaker 1: they're like, I mean, we know Trump is super illiberal.
Speaker 1: They're they're delusional. Trump gets criticized as a traitor. Trump
Speaker 1: has had journalists actively collued to get him thrown out
Speaker 1: of office and throw him in prison with lies. That's
Speaker 1: the whole Russia collusion thing. That's what they did. That's
Speaker 1: what CNN and the Deep State and DJ and all
Speaker 1: this stuff. And they act like Trump's a threat to
Speaker 1: free speech. Everyone who in the journalism world speaks out
Speaker 1: against Trump gets more famous, gets more money. Oh but
Speaker 1: they're so brave. They're so brave because Trump is a tyrant.
Speaker 1: They're out of their minds. And right wing demagogues already
Speaker 1: seizing on this. You mean, conservatives are saying, you guys
Speaker 1: are ruining the country with this crap. The anti intellectualism,
Speaker 1: anti freedom position of liberals quote liberals is ruining America.
Speaker 1: You are ruining our institutions, You are ruining our corporations,
Speaker 1: you are ruining our lives with this crap, this baby
Speaker 1: ish I feel unsafe by your words. Your words make
Speaker 1: me feel unsafe, and I don't like And it's just
Speaker 1: so perfect that they start out this letter. All these
Speaker 1: big you know, Salmon Rushing and all these big I
Speaker 1: wrote one book like forty years ago and since then
Speaker 1: has done nothing. But anyway, all these big names we
Speaker 1: all have to hear about, and they take their initial
Speaker 1: and other No one even want to note about the book,
Speaker 1: except the Aetola put out a hit on him, which
Speaker 1: you know is crazy and and that's a liberal. That's
Speaker 1: what true tyrants do. They'd say, Oh, I don't like
Speaker 1: your book. I'm going to actually put out a bounty
Speaker 1: on your head. Now, right, that's something that we all
Speaker 1: could say, Oh wow, that's really scary. They act like
Speaker 1: Trump is, you know, basically, the Aetola, they're they're absurd
Speaker 1: and right wing demagogues are seizing on us. No, we're
Speaker 1: just pointing out the obvious truth that this is destroying, destroying,
Speaker 1: discourse and and just intelligent conversation and destroying the world
Speaker 1: of ideas, and so much of the actual physical manifestation
Speaker 1: of the world around is pushed by ideas, right, whether
Speaker 1: it's wars between nation states or you know, religious conflicts,
Speaker 1: or just how we feel that we all come together
Speaker 1: as one people in America and all this stuff. These
Speaker 1: are all ideas and they're they're creating a conformity that
Speaker 1: is totalitarian. And this is all coming from one side
Speaker 1: of the political spectrum. It's coming from people who really
Speaker 1: are using identity politics. That's the main weapon. You know,
Speaker 1: say what we want or else you are anti trans,
Speaker 1: you're anti gay, you're anti black, or anti they'll they'll
Speaker 1: just go down, they'll pick an identity politics category. And
Speaker 1: that is the weapon for silencing all the time, even
Speaker 1: if you're not even talking about one of those categories. Right,
Speaker 1: but oh, your policy on X, your feelings on how
Speaker 1: we should deal with you know, a district attorney that
Speaker 1: won't prosecute murder cases properly is racist, right or you know,
Speaker 1: they'll take one thing that has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: the other and they'll say, ah, but we find a way.
Speaker 1: That's how they do all the silencing. The great part
Speaker 1: about this letter, though, is that they did the whole
Speaker 1: throat clearing about you know, Trump is a right and
Speaker 1: all those other stuff, and guess what, Libs one already
Speaker 1: backed out on it. Now others are saying, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I didn't know all of these people who are so
Speaker 1: find onto this. I've already had one back out. And
Speaker 1: the Libs have seen this online of reading the comments
Speaker 1: is amazing, and they want them gone. They want anybody
Speaker 1: who signed this punished. This is a letter from you know,
Speaker 1: exalted intellectuals, acceptable in the academy and on the left,
Speaker 1: and you know, some of them luminaries of the liberals,
Speaker 1: and it's like, no, you can't sign that now. Now,
Speaker 1: you guys need to be punished for that to exactly
Speaker 1: prove the point, even with the bedding of the knee,
Speaker 1: even with their we know Trump is a big threat,
Speaker 1: but like maybe we should be able to have a talk. Guys. No,
Speaker 1: the left looks at this and says, you're not allowed
Speaker 1: to say anything. You shut up. Have about a nice
Speaker 1: warm glass of shut the heck up, that's what they're
Speaker 1: telling them. Of course, thanks for listening to the Bus

Speaker 1: the efforts to defeat this Democrat left insanity going? Or
Speaker 1: are we gonna actually have Donald Trump win four more years?
Speaker 1: Is the country gonna survive? And what is the best
Speaker 1: way to grill barbecue ribs in your backyard? To answer
Speaker 1: all of these questions, we are joined by our friend
Speaker 1: mister Ned Ryan. He is the founder of American Majority Pack.
Speaker 1: He is also a political commentator. Mister Ned Good to
Speaker 1: have you, sir, Yeah, no, good to be back with you.
Speaker 1: Buck all right, man, you have been openly critical of
Speaker 1: how the campaign has been doing. The Trump campaign this
Speaker 1: mount Rushmore speech, I've been saying, and I know you've
Speaker 1: been sharing this on Twitter as well. It feels like
Speaker 1: a little bit of a reset, of a pivot. But
Speaker 1: what are we seeing now and our things different? Are
Speaker 1: you hearing from the campaign that they understand the urgency
Speaker 1: of the moment and the need to shift the shift
Speaker 1: the momentum against the STA statue toppling lunatics. I am
Speaker 1: buck At. I got to the point where I decided
Speaker 1: I'd pick up the phone and call the boss and
Speaker 1: say I need to share some concerns with you about
Speaker 1: the campaign, and specifically Buck. I mean, I've been beating
Speaker 1: this drum since beginning of May that we got real
Speaker 1: issues in Florida and we got to address this. And
Speaker 1: so I felt that maybe perhaps my concerns weren't being
Speaker 1: listened to. So I called up the Big Boss and said,
Speaker 1: forget polls. I could make a poll that can say
Speaker 1: whatever I wanted to, but you've got real numbers in
Speaker 1: Florida with absentee ballot requests that are problematic. And so
Speaker 1: we had a little conversation about that, and the next
Speaker 1: morning I had a conversation with Jared and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to feed to the campaign the importance of
Speaker 1: dealing with the absentee ballot requests in Florida, because, just
Speaker 1: to give you perspective, Buck, forty days out from the
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen elections, Republicans were up about one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty three thousand absentee ballot requests over Democrats. Currently, as
Speaker 1: of today, actually yesterday, we were down three hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty three thousand absentee ballot requests. So we basically have
Speaker 1: to make up over four hundred and sixty thousand HAPs
Speaker 1: of tea baller requests to get level to where we
Speaker 1: were in twenty sixteen. And the importance of this just
Speaker 1: so people understand. If Republicans don't win the absent tee
Speaker 1: ballot mail in vote in Florida, which they have traditionally
Speaker 1: and go into the lead, into the lead after that,
Speaker 1: Democrats usually win the early in person voting and then
Speaker 1: we come back roaring back on election day. So I
Speaker 1: think they are addressing I've been in communication with the
Speaker 1: campaign just about some of these things and also about
Speaker 1: the fact book. And I say this as somebody that's
Speaker 1: done campaigns and a lot of this stuff in the
Speaker 1: last twenty years. You don't really run a national campaign.
Speaker 1: You're really running a seven to ten state race. And
Speaker 1: to focus on where they should be forgetting New Mexico,
Speaker 1: forget Colorado, focus on Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Virginia, and
Speaker 1: North Carolina and then throw in Minnesota. But that's where
Speaker 1: you should be focused. Those are the states you need
Speaker 1: to win. You win those states you win reelection. Ned
Speaker 1: how are they doing on messaging? The president has I
Speaker 1: think learned a lesson here about the law enforcement reform
Speaker 1: gesture as if that's really what these angry mobs want
Speaker 1: and that would be enough even if they got it.
Speaker 1: Do you think that he's got it? Has he got
Speaker 1: the fire back in the belly the fight. It just hasn't.
Speaker 1: It hasn't felt like we've been seeing twenty sixteen Trump
Speaker 1: until the Mount Rushmore speech. This is absolutely correct book.
Speaker 1: And again that was one of the topest in conversation
Speaker 1: I had with him and said, sir, you've got the
Speaker 1: best instincts I've seen in politics and years. You got
Speaker 1: to go back to trusting them. You got to go
Speaker 1: back to what won you election in twenty sixteen. And
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you that Mount Rushmore speech was phenomenal book.
Speaker 1: It was really truly a defense of the American Republic.
Speaker 1: I love the line. In fact, it kind of reminded
Speaker 1: me of something I'd written about in my book, where
Speaker 1: we are the pinnacle of Western civilization. We truly are
Speaker 1: the greatest nation of the world has ever seen. But
Speaker 1: he had to recite American history. I was telling my
Speaker 1: wife this and I tweeted about this. He literally had
Speaker 1: to go to Mount Rushmore on a nationally televised speech
Speaker 1: and recite American history about the four figures behind him,
Speaker 1: because we're not teaching history, because we're not teaching who
Speaker 1: we are as a people, where we came from. We
Speaker 1: are truly one of the greatest, were the longest, last
Speaker 1: and constitutional republic in the history of the world. It
Speaker 1: didn't happen by chance. I mean it was very intentional.
Speaker 1: The decisions made over two hundred and forty years ago,
Speaker 1: you know, in Philadelphia Declaration and then Philadelphia, very intentional.
Speaker 1: Our founders knew what they were doing. And I tell
Speaker 1: people this book, the thing that we have to understand,
Speaker 1: the reason we've got to fight for this republic. But
Speaker 1: the founders put in place is they got human nature right.
Speaker 1: They got it absolutely right. They didn't even trust themselves.
Speaker 1: I tell people they knew sitting in that room in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia seventeen eighty seven that they were going to be
Speaker 1: the presidents, the vice presidents, the senators, the representatives, the judges.
Speaker 1: They didn't trust themselves with consolidated power. They wanted to
Speaker 1: diffuse it. They had the separation of powers at the
Speaker 1: federal level, the idea of federalism, all of these things.
Speaker 1: That's where we're up against. We are up against black
Speaker 1: lives matter, and these very aggressive Marxists, they're not about
Speaker 1: tearing down Confederate statues or defunding police. They want to
Speaker 1: tear down the old order of the American Republic and
Speaker 1: usher and a new Marxist one. That's really what the
Speaker 1: battle is, and that's why I love the messaging. It's
Speaker 1: really Americanism versus socialism, and I hope that he hits
Speaker 1: that theme from now until November. Speaking of ed Ryan
Speaker 1: found of American Majority Pack, also a fellow, a senior
Speaker 1: fellow at the American Greatness website, ned you mentioned the
Speaker 1: places where this election will be determined, and that certainly
Speaker 1: is that is the list, right, anybody who's following this
Speaker 1: note that those are the states. How are we actually
Speaker 1: looking in those states? How's our infrastructure? And it doesn't
Speaker 1: feel at all like, you know, pretty soon you were
Speaker 1: going to be an August and August? Is that going
Speaker 1: to be September? And then it's like it's the election,
Speaker 1: my friends, I mean we're there. Yeah. Well, well, I've
Speaker 1: been fighting not only highlighting the appsent deballot problem in Florida,
Speaker 1: but saying you got to bring back your twenty sixteen team,
Speaker 1: and thankfully, but They did that last week. They brought
Speaker 1: in Susie Wiles, who ran Florida for Trump in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: They brought her back. She'll bring back a team. They're
Speaker 1: going to really hit the ground hard. I think July
Speaker 1: fifteenth this is a good sign it And I told
Speaker 1: the campaign yesterday like the last four days have given
Speaker 1: me a lot of encouragement. First of all, the reset
Speaker 1: on the messaging at Mount Rushmore, the shift on the
Speaker 1: Florida staff and bringing back Susie. Those are two major shifts.
Speaker 1: I haven't told some people at the White House. I
Speaker 1: think your odds just went up five to ten percent
Speaker 1: overall just by fixing Florida. So I'm optimistic, and I
Speaker 1: tell people this book. I mean again going back to
Speaker 1: poll numbers. I'm a poll skeptic, but if you really
Speaker 1: want to understand what's taking place, don't look at the
Speaker 1: national polls, look at state poles, and look at state
Speaker 1: polls of likely voters. So you look at Wisconsin. Trafalgar
Speaker 1: is a very reliable poll shows Trump up by one,
Speaker 1: shows it dead even in Florida. So start to look
Speaker 1: at the state polls of registered voters, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: get a little bit of a different story. Do I
Speaker 1: think Trump is down? Absolutely? Do I think he's down
Speaker 1: nearly as much as people want to say absolutely not.
Speaker 1: The other thing to remember, Buck is this, I think
Speaker 1: Trump gets a poll tax people. Posters call voters, they
Speaker 1: ask are you going to vote for Trump? They don't
Speaker 1: want to admit it to a poster. They go into
Speaker 1: that polling booth. They pulled a lever for Trump. And
Speaker 1: I actually think I've seen a poll where likely voters
Speaker 1: said by eleven points right now they would vote for Biden.
Speaker 1: Who do they think is going to win in November?
Speaker 1: Trump by two? I mean, that's a thirteen point swing
Speaker 1: among likely voters in the state of Florida. Tells you
Speaker 1: that a lot of people don't want to admit to
Speaker 1: a poster they're gonna vote for Trump. They go into
Speaker 1: that polling booth. I think a lot of them are
Speaker 1: going to pull that lever for Trump. Are you hearing
Speaker 1: any sense? And I know you talked to the big
Speaker 1: guy himself. You spoke the President recently about the campaign,
Speaker 1: which is great. I'm happy to hear that there are
Speaker 1: sane voices that know this game, know how this is done,
Speaker 1: that are weighing in at this stage because clearly, look,
Speaker 1: June was a bad month for the president, no question
Speaker 1: about it. So we you know, July needs to start
Speaker 1: to switch, start to turn in his favor if we're
Speaker 1: gonna have a real shot going into the actual election.
Speaker 1: Are you hearing anybody who's talking to him about how
Speaker 1: maybe you need to bring back some of the old
Speaker 1: I don't know some of the old sauce. I don't
Speaker 1: mean Trump personally, I mean some of the people around him,
Speaker 1: you know, the more ben and esque folks here who
Speaker 1: were in touch with the base. Because it feels like
Speaker 1: who is Trump's bass whisperer right now that's involved in
Speaker 1: the campaign or that's involved in the public messaging. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean no, I think you make a really good point, Buck,
Speaker 1: And the reason I'm actually even talking about having a
Speaker 1: conversation with Tom as you see all these two ports
Speaker 1: of Carl Road and some of these other people going in,
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, No, there are people that are with
Speaker 1: the base. They're going in and advising, and I think
Speaker 1: he's kind of I think he has woken up. I
Speaker 1: mean I think the last couple of weeks have been
Speaker 1: huge for him when he's realized, like you said beginning
Speaker 1: of this interview. Some of this police reform, this executive
Speaker 1: order made nobody happy, was not a good move. I
Speaker 1: think he's realized that, and he's got to go back
Speaker 1: to trusting his own instincts. I mean, that's one of
Speaker 1: the reasons that I'm trying to be more vocal and
Speaker 1: be more involved, is to go in and say, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm connected with the base and only with American majority.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what we do. We're out in the States,
Speaker 1: we're walking the grass roots. But sorry, I've been with
Speaker 1: you from pretty much, you know, the very beginning and
Speaker 1: actually going on. And you know this, You've been on
Speaker 1: some of these channels, the MSNBCCNN and fighting a good fight.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. You've got to get reelected, and if
Speaker 1: you don't get reelected, it will be the sentence of darkness.
Speaker 1: And don't count on Republicans standing with you. And I
Speaker 1: think that's one thing that I think he's realizing more
Speaker 1: and more it really is all about him. He should
Speaker 1: not expect Republicans in DC to stand with him. That's fun.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people out here that are
Speaker 1: for him, that understand the implications of what's going on.
Speaker 1: In November. We are with him all the way. He
Speaker 1: makes some of these other changes at the campaign, changes
Speaker 1: his messaging, starts to really focus on these things. I
Speaker 1: like his chances book. I mean, I think he's got
Speaker 1: a legitimate chance. As I told people, he's down, he's
Speaker 1: not dead. He changes some of these things. We move
Speaker 1: in the right direction. And the other thing too that
Speaker 1: I remind people book that we're kind of not talking
Speaker 1: about but should be. The Durham Bar stuff got pushed back.
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see some of this stuff
Speaker 1: come out in August, and I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: pretty staggering and the narrative change that will take place.
Speaker 1: Get the fundamentals right with the campaign. I think there's
Speaker 1: gonna be some really positive narrative changes they're gonna take place.
Speaker 1: Get the fundamentals. Let's go for it. Let's see what
Speaker 1: happens over the next sixteen weeks. Ned Ryan founded American
Speaker 1: Majority Pack. Ned great to have you, my friend. We'll
Speaker 1: talk soon. Appreciate it. Thanks, Buck, You're in the freedom Huh.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. What does diversity
Speaker 1: and inclusion mean? According to the people who teach these
Speaker 1: courses and now get to dictate the policies of corporate America. Well,
Speaker 1: what is what does diversity inclusion really mean? You know,
Speaker 1: we hear about it all the time, but how do
Speaker 1: you stay on the right side of this and how
Speaker 1: do you make sure you're okay? Well, let's take a
Speaker 1: look into one example. The City of Seattle had a
Speaker 1: session that we now have through a freedom of information
Speaker 1: or public records requests, we have information about it. Hatchep
Speaker 1: Christopher Ruffo, who did the due diligence to get all
Speaker 1: this research together. He's a contributing at City Journal, contributing editor.
Speaker 1: So Christopher Ruffo pulls together the city of Seattle and
Speaker 1: here's the thread that he wrote on this on Twitter,
Speaker 1: so that we can know what does it mean to
Speaker 1: go through this diversity training? What are the kind of
Speaker 1: concepts that they're not just being raised? You are told
Speaker 1: to adopt this, I mean you are told to agree
Speaker 1: to this stuff or else. Well, here's what he's got.
Speaker 1: The City of Seattle held a training session for white
Speaker 1: employees called Interrupting Internalized racial superiority and Whiteness. So I
Speaker 1: did a public records request to find out exactly what
Speaker 1: this means. Let's go through this together in the thread first,
Speaker 1: and this is amazing stuff. Diversity trainers informed white participants
Speaker 1: that objectivity, individualism, intellectualization, and comfort are all vestiges of
Speaker 1: internalized racial oppression. So that's right. So when you talk
Speaker 1: about individualism or objectivity, that's a racial oppression term that's used. Wow.
Speaker 1: Christoph Rupo goes on, sometimes both sides of the coin
Speaker 1: are oppression. Are white employees speaking too much, that's probably
Speaker 1: the internalized racial superiority of imposition or paternalism. Are wide
Speaker 1: employees speaking too little, that's oppression because silence is violence.
Speaker 1: It's this is real. This is a public records request
Speaker 1: for the City of Seattle. This is what they teach
Speaker 1: city employees in these insane leftist enclaves. ABCNN can go
Speaker 1: ha ha ha and have a big laugh about this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: does it seem like it's reasonable stuff? Does this seem
Speaker 1: sane to any sane person? It's really It's pretty amazing,
Speaker 1: isn't it? Oh? But it goes on. What's next? The
Speaker 1: City of Seattle diversity trainers encourage white employees to practice
Speaker 1: self talk that affirms their complicity in racism and work
Speaker 1: on This is a quote, undoing your own whiteness. Racism
Speaker 1: is not our fault, but we are responsible practicing self
Speaker 1: talk that affirms our complicity in racism. Wow, this is
Speaker 1: amazing stuff. Talk through your struggles in the work of
Speaker 1: undoing your own whiteness and showing up as allies and
Speaker 1: accomplices so you can challenge and support each other. This
Speaker 1: is what people are being told. You better confront your whiteness,
Speaker 1: confess and expunge your whiteness, or else tax dollars folks
Speaker 1: going to this. And remember this is not a mandate. Now.
Speaker 1: These are not things that you get to ignore and say, ah,
Speaker 1: you know that was fifteen maybe ten years ago. The
Speaker 1: diversity trainers come into college and they tell all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and then you know, the frat pros are gonna frat
Speaker 1: bro and other people are gonna you know, the artsy
Speaker 1: kids are gonna do that. Everyone kind of just goes
Speaker 1: and it's a free for all. Everyone's just drinking too
Speaker 1: much and you know, having a little too much casual
Speaker 1: sex on campus, right, Like that's what used Now it's oh, no,
Speaker 1: you better listen to all this diversity stuff because you're
Speaker 1: gonna be held to account on this. You better be
Speaker 1: willing to stand up in class and denounce your white
Speaker 1: privilege and your whiteness, or else. Christopher Rufo continues here,
Speaker 1: remember this is what he pulled from the city of Seattle.
Speaker 1: It's amazing what happens after the thought exercises. It's time
Speaker 1: to do the work. The trainers ask white employees to
Speaker 1: let go of comfort, guaranteed physical safety, social status, and
Speaker 1: relationships with some other white people. They then go through
Speaker 1: a flow chart that outlines how white people cause harm
Speaker 1: to people of color, show up small and inauthentic, and
Speaker 1: are unable to access their humanity. My friends, this is
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just straight up ideological brainwashing with
Speaker 1: brainless slogans, right, this is just absurd. Well, this is
Speaker 1: not different than I'm sure what's being trained to your
Speaker 1: kids if they're in college, maybe even in high school.
Speaker 1: Now they're in public school. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: have kids. This is what diversity training stuff is. This
Speaker 1: is being forced into people's faces, and you must know.
Speaker 1: Not only do you sit there and listen and be
Speaker 1: respectful of this idiocy, you are told to comply with
Speaker 1: its demands or else show your appreciation for it, celebrate it.
Speaker 1: Not even enough to bend the knee. When the left
Speaker 1: tells you to bend the knee, look up at them
Speaker 1: and say, thank you so much for taking away my
Speaker 1: individual thought, my freedom, and my free expression. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for forcing contradictory, absurd, and even immoral beliefs
Speaker 1: down my throat. Thank you so much. This is amazing,
Speaker 1: This is wonderful. How can I help in your work here?
Speaker 1: How can I be an ally in an accomplice? Mister
Speaker 1: Rufo continues. In case some people are wondering if they're
Speaker 1: really white, they pass out a data sheet called Assimilation
Speaker 1: into Whiteness. Are you of Arab, Jewish, Finnish, German, Italian,
Speaker 1: Armenian or Irish descent? You're definitely white. No getting out
Speaker 1: of this. The invitation for this training was strictly segregated.
Speaker 1: This is stunning to white city employees only the goal
Speaker 1: is to teach them how to have how they have
Speaker 1: complicit complicity in the system of white supremacy and must
Speaker 1: be held accountable to black, indigenous, and people of color
Speaker 1: and quote, how do you know when you've been successful
Speaker 1: in the training when you implicate yourself in racism, when
Speaker 1: other white people may be angry, and when you have
Speaker 1: stopped your white normative behavior. That's right. Apologize and apologize
Speaker 1: for and to race your whiteness as fast as you can,
Speaker 1: or else you're complicit in racism. This is what people
Speaker 1: are being taught with tax dollars as public employees. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening to the Busess and show podcasts. Remember to
Speaker 1: subscribe on Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, app or wherever you
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. Can you be charged with a hate
Speaker 1: crime for painting over painted words on public property? The
Speaker 1: answer in the Bay Area of San Francisco in the
Speaker 1: city of Martinez is apparently yes, Yes you can. ABC
Speaker 1: News here with the story a white California couple has
Speaker 1: been charged with a hate crime after they were seen
Speaker 1: on video defacing a Black Lives Matter mural. Two people
Speaker 1: identified by the district attorney as etc. Etc. In the
Speaker 1: In a video of this demand identified as Nelson, can
Speaker 1: be heard saying, there's no racism, it's a leftist lie.
Speaker 1: No one wants Black lives matter. Here. He was wearing
Speaker 1: Trump twenty twenty garb and yelled make America great again. Look,
Speaker 1: this is a this is a political fight. This is
Speaker 1: not a hate crime. Folks. Now, if we're going to
Speaker 1: be a letter of the law people. You know, if
Speaker 1: it's a earl and labor and time went into that,
Speaker 1: you know, could this be considered petty vandalism? Yes? Right,
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be if you have permission to paint
Speaker 1: something somewhere. Right, If I have a grocery store and
Speaker 1: I want a mural painted on the side and someone
Speaker 1: comes along with black spray paint and sprays all over it,
Speaker 1: that's not okay. But I hate crime. Come on, But
Speaker 1: this is what they're trying to do. That's the whole
Speaker 1: don't you see. That's the whole purpose of Black Lives
Speaker 1: Matter is to take the left's Marxism and rooted in
Speaker 1: identity politics where they can always use the most, the
Speaker 1: most strident and devastating attacks on their opponents possible by
Speaker 1: claiming that everything against this movement is racism, is a
Speaker 1: hate crime. That's what they're trying to do. And they're
Speaker 1: being successful, and they're being successful that public property is
Speaker 1: now taking what is a current political movement? And right,
Speaker 1: I mean this is no what if Republican towns wanted
Speaker 1: to start writing Maga all over public buildings. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: gonna have a Maga mural in the in the city,
Speaker 1: you know, in town square. Does that seem right to people? Oh,
Speaker 1: but BLM is not about politics. I mean, we're really
Speaker 1: gonna play this game. Yeah, they're gonna play this game. Dishonesty,
Speaker 1: so much dishonesty. Black Lives Matter is about a lot
Speaker 1: more than just police violence against black men. As we know,
Speaker 1: police murders of black men is really what it's about.
Speaker 1: They say, But it's not. It's about all these other things,
Speaker 1: all this other stuff. We know this, but that's right,
Speaker 1: mess with a They so they can deface monuments, do
Speaker 1: all these things. The left is fine with that. But
Speaker 1: if you paint over the mural, I think it was
Speaker 1: just a sign that said, I mean just painted words
Speaker 1: black Lives matter. If you paint over that to hate crime,
Speaker 1: could go to prison for a year for this. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is this is not good folks, free expression, free thought.
Speaker 1: If they can wrap their political ideology in this protective,
Speaker 1: this protective covering of oh BLM, any opposition of BLM
Speaker 1: is a hate crime. Well, uh look, this is why
Speaker 1: I find hate crime legislation to be very problematic. Crimes
Speaker 1: are crimes establishing special crimes, especially for things that aren't
Speaker 1: criminal behavior absent this assumed intent. It's it's an issue, right,
Speaker 1: and this is how you get people say, oh, I
Speaker 1: saw a rope, it's a new snow. It's actually used
Speaker 1: by construction workers to lift up, you know, cans of paint,
Speaker 1: which anybody would know if they were also hysterical about it.
Speaker 1: My friends, they will use every tool or the left,
Speaker 1: the Democrats, will use everything that they have to silence you,
Speaker 1: to defeat you, and to make you do what they want,
Speaker 1: and to be in power and to feel like they're
Speaker 1: the good people, even as the society around them is crumbling.
Speaker 1: In some of the most precious parts of our society,
Speaker 1: freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of religion are
Speaker 1: just under assault from these people. They are democrats, are
Speaker 1: attacking all of us. They don't believe in any of
Speaker 1: these freedoms. They want control, to tell you what to
Speaker 1: do all the time everywhere. Liberalism is a lie that
Speaker 1: the left tells people. They are illiberal, they are anti liberty.
Speaker 1: Don't forget it, You're in the freedom hunt. This is

Speaker 1: man who lectures you before yelling at YouTube get off
Speaker 1: his lawn. Well played, Robert, well played, what about you.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a statishy. I bought a pair of
Speaker 1: Raycon earbuds just so I could listen to you and
Speaker 1: rush at work. My work truck does not have a
Speaker 1: radio or anything else that may be possibly confused with
Speaker 1: a creature comfort Nan, thank you so much for buying

Speaker 1: and producer Mark every day and also knowing good radio
Speaker 1: when you hear it. Appreciate that John Hey bucking Producer Mark.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to share a short anecdote with you
Speaker 1: about this year's Independence Day. While our local Chamber of
Speaker 1: Commerce canceled the parade and fireworks celebration this year, the
Speaker 1: proud Patriots that inhabit our state decided that this would
Speaker 1: just not do. As I drove home across the prairie
Speaker 1: after day of celebration and fellowship with friends and family,
Speaker 1: the night sky was lit up with what was easily
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of dollars of illegal fireworks. They shot
Speaker 1: up from every neighborhood in every direction, letting up the
Speaker 1: sky and roaring with a defiance that would have made
Speaker 1: our forefathers proud. I had never felt such a swelling
Speaker 1: of patriotic pride before, but there was a solidarity in
Speaker 1: knowing that the American spirit is still alive and well,
Speaker 1: you just need to walk outside and look for it.
Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, this should set the standard
Speaker 1: for how all future Independence Days are celebrated. Shields high.
Speaker 1: So I assume John is writing from California, right because
Speaker 1: I saw Mark. You saw that video right where they
Speaker 1: were lightening up all the fireworks in the sky even
Speaker 1: though they weren't supposed to. Yes, yeah, that was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Hot take fireworks suck? What's the point? I just tell you,
Speaker 1: can I tell you We're gonna get so. This is
Speaker 1: a rare moment where you and I are contrarian together.
Speaker 1: I'm not a fireworks person. I don't get it. I
Speaker 1: don't get it. Look, if you're with your family in
Speaker 1: the right circumstance, you know, watching a fireworks just play
Speaker 1: together on Independence Day? Cool, I get it. But people
Speaker 1: that are like, yeah, I want to go play with
Speaker 1: a lot of fireworks, I don't understand. Firework goes boom?
Speaker 1: Who cares. I'll take it a step further, even, like
Speaker 1: you know how most towns and cities will have like
Speaker 1: a gathering on a normal year. Obviously not this year
Speaker 1: with the big fireworks display. I'm gonna schlep all the
Speaker 1: way to some park in the middle of nowhere and
Speaker 1: watch some lights go off in the sky and stand
Speaker 1: up for a couple hours and a crowd of people
Speaker 1: and have to park my car two miles away. Who
Speaker 1: the hell wants to do that. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: It's so boring. I don't get it. So, yeah, makes
Speaker 1: no sense, makes no sense. Oh but you know, no
Speaker 1: sense to me, I should say. I mean, look at
Speaker 1: people love it. They love it. That's not my It's
Speaker 1: not my thing. It's not my thing. There are other
Speaker 1: things I like. This is not teach their own. If
Speaker 1: you like it, shure. But yeah, but I just you know,
Speaker 1: I remember I was at a like I was at
Speaker 1: a college house party a long time ago, and people
Speaker 1: started they got drunk and they ran out in the
Speaker 1: yard and they started firing. I think it's Roman candles
Speaker 1: at each other. Does that sound right? Yes? And and
Speaker 1: I was and I was like, what, I don't get this.
Speaker 1: You know, it's someone I think just died because they
Speaker 1: got in New York because firework exploded near their chest
Speaker 1: or something. And wasn't there a Giants player Jason Pierre
Speaker 1: Paul he lost a finger or two fingers even, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he playing with fire his handoff playing with fireworks. I
Speaker 1: gotta say, you know, I did some rudimentary explosives training,
Speaker 1: you know, with explosive explosive you know C four and
Speaker 1: and debt chord and all that stuff, and you know guns.
Speaker 1: To me, it's always like, if you've got good muscle
Speaker 1: and trigger discipline and you understand safety, you can be
Speaker 1: around guns and be and be totally safe. Explosives, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, you're always there's a reason why people that
Speaker 1: build their own detonators tend to be are sorry, build
Speaker 1: their own blasting caps, I should say often lose a
Speaker 1: finger or two. There's a reason because that stuff is
Speaker 1: really unstable and it's really easy. You know, there have
Speaker 1: even been it's rare, but cases where static electricity can
Speaker 1: set off a charge and people have died during during
Speaker 1: military training because of that, where you have something and
Speaker 1: they didn't actually hit the hit the plunger, so to speak. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the stuff can happen. Explosives kind of that that puts
Speaker 1: me on edge. Knives, guns, train, you know what you're
Speaker 1: doing fine, explosives though, I don't know some of the
Speaker 1: guys out I know there's some eod Tex who are
Speaker 1: probably listening to this right now. How you guys and gals,
Speaker 1: how you do what you do? I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I think that may be if I was told that
Speaker 1: I had to take a if I had to take
Speaker 1: a combat role, I think eod Tech would be the
Speaker 1: one that would I would just have the hardest time doing.
Speaker 1: I don't know that would just you know, sign me up.
Speaker 1: You know, I'd rather trade. I'd rather train to do
Speaker 1: sniper stuff. I'd rather train to you know, clear house.
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. Eod Tech, I don't know how they
Speaker 1: do it, I really and I think that's why that movie.
Speaker 1: What was the movie um years ago in a rock
Speaker 1: on the one the best picture Oscar hurt Locker. Yes,
Speaker 1: the hurt Locker. That's why everybody watched. I was just
Speaker 1: like the whole time, You're like, oh my gosh, because
Speaker 1: explosives are scary, all right, uh Courtney, hey Buck. I
Speaker 1: was getting my nails done here in the suburbs of
Speaker 1: North Dallas. Yeehah, Okay, I was told don't do anymore.
Speaker 1: Ye huh not allowed. I love you, Texas. Dallas is
Speaker 1: a city they don't say yeehah. Come on, man, I'm
Speaker 1: from New York. We think everyone's like, hey, howdy, I'm
Speaker 1: wearing the stetson and roding ahore and I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: And that's why they call us Yankees. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: I actually spent a lot of time in Dallas because
Speaker 1: when I worked at the Blaze for Glenn Beck, I
Speaker 1: was in Dallas every probably every two or three months.
Speaker 1: So great, great food, great town, really nice people. I'm
Speaker 1: a fan. Austin, where we have our wonderful affiliate KLBJ,
Speaker 1: of course, is another town that I need to spend
Speaker 1: some time in this fall. I'm going. I asked my
Speaker 1: nail tech. Courtney writes about how he felt about the
Speaker 1: whole mask wearing thing. He said he hated it, then
Speaker 1: proceeded to tell me about his friend who recently went
Speaker 1: to be tested for COVID. He said he checked in
Speaker 1: and waited for over an hour and then left. Later
Speaker 1: that evening, he got a call saying his test that
Speaker 1: he never even got came back positive for COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1: I have a feeling this kind of thing is happening
Speaker 1: a lot, so you Si Courtney telling me that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have heard that the testing takes long than people
Speaker 1: think that it will, so you can get tested in
Speaker 1: wait three or four days to get a result, which
Speaker 1: feels like h This is also why, as I've been
Speaker 1: telling you, you know, I'm right about this. The tracing
Speaker 1: things just has been preposterous from the start. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: just me. With everybody you've met with, I mean, they're
Speaker 1: gonna be they're gonna be tracing people for the next
Speaker 1: thousand years, given how many cases and how many contacts,
Speaker 1: it's absurd. Absurd. Oh, we do it for STDs. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're trying to trace syphilis, hopefully the
Speaker 1: list is a little smaller of people that have been
Speaker 1: put at risk. Right, tracing some diseases is a lot
Speaker 1: easier than tracing a coronavirus. Nate, isn't the more uncomfortable
Speaker 1: part of that apology from Prince Harry that his family
Speaker 1: was in charge of sending most of the slaves to
Speaker 1: America shields high. Oh, Nate, you raise a good point,
Speaker 1: which is that it was you know, the British were
Speaker 1: the initial the initial transportation arm of the slave trade
Speaker 1: in the America. Is not the only one, but they were.
Speaker 1: They were the major one or for the Atlantic slave trade.
Speaker 1: And yes, indeed, of course Britain is therefore deeply complicit
Speaker 1: in American slavery. And even though our liberals in America
Speaker 1: like to pretend like America is the only place that
Speaker 1: had slaves, we invented if you listened to Senator Tim Kane,
Speaker 1: we invented slavery, which as we know, is not true.
Speaker 1: And anybody who even has a passing familiarity with the
Speaker 1: Bible would know that that we did not invent slavery.
Speaker 1: It's been around, unfortunately, four thousands of years. Peter hey
Speaker 1: Buck producer Mark to say, we don't have a royal
Speaker 1: class is a misnomer. Our senators and congress people, because
Speaker 1: of the lack of term limits, have become princesses and princes.
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're a ruling class. I think that's fair.
Speaker 1: But you remember, our prince or a princess is going
Speaker 1: to have that constant, traded authority of a monarchy usually,
Speaker 1: I guess not really in the Saudi context, where there's
Speaker 1: like a thousand princes and princesses. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying, Peter.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like the Jeopardy judges. I will allow it.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Producer Mark? Yeah, sure, I think
Speaker 1: there should be term limits. Yeah. Tie goes to team
Speaker 1: buck on this one. O. Well, of course I agree
Speaker 1: on term limits, But I mean that we have a
Speaker 1: we have a monarchical class. Well, they become like, you know,
Speaker 1: well known people because they've been in office so long. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a loyal class. I see, Like I agree with the sentiment.
Speaker 1: I agree with the sentiment. Alex Trump had a great
Speaker 1: speech at Route Mount Rushmore, but then feels the need
Speaker 1: to go after Bubba Wallace and Nascar. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: Alex I don't get it either. I you know, I
Speaker 1: feel like Trump is uh is that guy that you're
Speaker 1: in the bar with that you know that if you
Speaker 1: get into a bar fight, he's the best you could
Speaker 1: ever have. But you know, every once in a while
Speaker 1: he picks a fight with a lamp post when he's
Speaker 1: had one too many and like breaks his hand, and
Speaker 1: you're just like, well, that wasn't really necessary. He's still
Speaker 1: a great fighter, and you still love the guy, but
Speaker 1: you know, it's not a perfect situation. Not a perfect situation, Brandon,
Speaker 1: hey Buck. First off, love the show. Second, I live
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, and starting July ninth, we were supposed to
Speaker 1: wear masks within our city limits. Then on July eighth,
Speaker 1: our governor declared that it's also mandatory to wear masks
Speaker 1: throughout parts of the state. If you don't, you get
Speaker 1: slapped with the twenty five dollars fun and they're released
Speaker 1: a number to the public for people to call and
Speaker 1: tattle on you, like we are back in the second grade.
Speaker 1: Keep doing what you're doing, sir, Well, Brandon, that is
Speaker 1: certainly troubling and annoying, but that's what we're heading to now.
Speaker 1: We're all being talking about complicit. We're all being forced
Speaker 1: to be complicit in the anti COVID nanny states. I
Speaker 1: hope that changes. Please got a bucksexton dot com. Check
