1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Team. I can't say enough about this audience and how

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: amazing all of you are. Many of you have been

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: with me now for almost ten years. Many of you

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: have been a part of this journey with me for

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: really every step of the way, and others have just

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: joined in the last few months, last few weeks, and

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: I am humbled every day that you give me your

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: time that you are willing to with all the options

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: I know that are out there to listen to, to

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: watch to, just to consume content, that you spend your

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: time with me every day is honestly, in a way

12
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: amazing to me and sacred to me, and I am

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: deeply appreciative of it. I really am. I mean, my

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: family makes fun of me. I do feel like I

15
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: say this aw shucks stuff, but I really mean it.

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm so humbled by the fact that people across the country,

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of you every day are listening to

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: this show, and I think it's deeply meaningful and I

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: greatly appreciate it. So here's my announcement in case you

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: don't know, I am moving time slots. I have been

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: Premiere Radio Networks syndicated host for this is now my

00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: fifth year from six to nine. A lot of you

23
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: listen to me on a little bit of a delay,

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: or you listen to the podcast, but six to nine

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: has been my official time slot. I am moving within

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: the next thirty days to the Rush Limbaugh slot twelve

27
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: to three as a co host with Clay Travis Well.

28
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure many of you familiar with from his really

29
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: successful and excellent sports radio show and podcast. So yes,

30
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: I am going to be moving into the radio real estate,

31
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: so to speak, that has opened up since the since

32
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: the passing of the greatest radio host of all time,

33
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: the true radio icon of our time, Rush Limbaugh. But

34
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm moving into the twelve to three slot. I'll be

35
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: co hosting with Clay and this will mean that my

36
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: voice will be a part of a co host of

37
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: the biggest radio show in America within thirty days, the

38
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: largest buy audience in the country. And that's pretty amazing.

39
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: And that's something that I have to say thank you

40
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: to all of you about this because you listen, because

41
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: you appreciate the work and the integrity and the consistency

42
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: that is going into this show every day. And I'm

43
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: hugely thankful to Premiere Radio Networks and iHeartMedia for this

44
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: enormous I mean vote of confidence barely even covers at him,

45
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: and this is a game changer team for a team Buck,

46
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: we are going now to the millions and millions of

47
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: listeners a day level. I'm thrilled that it's I'm going

48
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: to be doing this with Clay Travis. We've already been

49
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: doing some test shows together in the background, just to

50
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: get our bearings, just just practice shows. So if I've

51
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: sounded a little tired in recent weeks, you have a

52
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: better sense as to why. But it's amazing. I mean, here,

53
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: I am a kid who started out with a speech

54
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: impediment and had to go to speech therapy lessons as

55
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: a kid, and people made fun of me because I

56
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: could not pronounce my name. I usually tell this on

57
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: my birthday every year. I kind of give a version

58
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: of this story, but it's all true. My mom, my dad,

59
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: my siblings, they would all tell you I went through

60
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: early life with the name Buck, but I spent years

61
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: saying my name was But because I had pronunciation difficulties,

62
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: I was not I was not good at speaking. And

63
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: God bless my parents and my family who I get

64
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: a little even just thinking about how supportive They've been

65
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: my whole life. But I'm blessed to have an amazing

66
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: mom and dad, and two incredible brothers and a wonderful sister.

67
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: And yes, I have a beautiful girlfriend whose name is

68
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: not actually the snow Princess, but we will we like

69
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: to keep some degree of privacy and anonymity there. But

70
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: my family has been with me for a very long time,

71
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: and obviously and they've been amazing it at every step

72
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: of the way. And that meant when I was a

73
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: kid and I couldn't even pronounce my I could imagine

74
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: not being able to pronounce your own name. It's one

75
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: thing to have some words that come up, but I

76
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: would introduce myself and people would think that I was

77
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: pulling some kind of gag or something. How can you

78
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: not be able to say your own name? So I

79
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: got speech therapy lessons, and then I ended up on

80
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: the speech and debate team in high school and did

81
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: quite well, and then went off to the sea. I

82
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: never thought I was even going to work in conservative media,

83
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: and within thirty days, give or take, we're not. We

84
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: haven't set an exact date yet, but roughly the next

85
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: month I'm going to be taking the microphone on the

86
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: biggest stage in radio in the United States, and I

87
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: think therefore it's fair to say the world. So that's

88
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: a pretty remarkable circumstance. And it's just because every time

89
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: I asked people on this show, every time I said

90
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: to all of you, please pass the buck. Tell somebody

91
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 1: about this show. I've gone through this now for years

92
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: with I've no marketing. I've never raised a dollar of

93
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: investment money for my show in terms of outside investors

94
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: to do anything for Buck Sexton. I've never had a

95
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: marketing budget to speak of. I've never been I just

96
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: you know, had an opportunity beyond some great radio stations

97
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: and then you listen. So the numbers were strong. So

98
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: I got on more radio stations and you all told people, Hey,

99
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: you should really give this guy a chance. You know. Yeah, he's,

100
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, a New York City kid and he comes

101
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: out of the CIA and sometimes he can be a

102
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: little i don't know, curmudgeonly or intense or whatever, but

103
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: he does a really worthwhile radio show. If you if

104
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: you're somebody that cares about politics and current events, and

105
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: so you passed the buck. And that's why we're at

106
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: this point. I mean, to be here in less than

107
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: ten years to get to the point where I'm going

108
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: to be stepping in to the greatest radio time slot.

109
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: And thanks I owe Rush Lumbaugh more than I can

110
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: begin to say. But obviously he created this industry. Really

111
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: he was the first, and he built the twelve to

112
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: three time slot to be what set the agenda for conservatism.

113
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: You know, there's the Rush Show, and then at night

114
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people will watch Fox in prime time,

115
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: but those are really the the juggernauts. Those are the

116
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: or the grand platforms of conservative media. I mean, nothing

117
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: else really, nothing else comes close in terms of numbers,

118
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: in terms of influence. And when Rush was doing his thing,

119
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: I think we all know that he was setting the

120
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: agenda and then everybody else came after that. So to

121
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: have that, look, it's a responsibility. I'm very aware of

122
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: the fact that it's a big responsibility. I'm very aware

123
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: of the fact that I'm going to be stepping in

124
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: to do a show that this is the show known

125
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: to be hosted by the grades the greatest rather a

126
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: radio host of all time. And that's that's a lot, right.

127
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: And we are in a point in our country's history

128
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: when politics are particularly acrimonious and nasty and polarize, and

129
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: all of that is very true. And I'm not in

130
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: this game just because I like the business of it

131
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: or I enjoy radio. I actually want to help the country.

132
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: I want to fight for this country. This is why

133
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: I do what I do every day. There are other

134
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: things where I could make lots of money and have

135
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: a whole lot more free time and more of a

136
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: personal life, but this really matters to me, and this

137
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: show every day that I've done it already, even on

138
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: a smaller scale, has been meaningful to me, and I

139
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: hope has been meaningful not just to all of you,

140
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: but at some level to the national conversation. And it's

141
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: just a blessing. And I'm a little a little tired

142
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: out today because this has been a lot getting to

143
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: this point and where the announcement finally comes out and

144
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: is public. As it is now, I can kind of

145
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: breathe easy, but it almost feels like at the end

146
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: of a marathon here. So that's that's really where we are.

147
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean it, from the bottom of my heart. I'm

148
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: so thankful for all of you who listen, and for

149
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: the time you've given me, and for the ability to

150
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: create this show and make it into something meaningful. And

151
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: also a big thanks to producer Mark, who has been

152
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: my right hand here for now. I don't know how

153
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: many Mark, how many years has it been? About two years?

154
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: Two years? Mark has been with me, but I mean

155
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: during the pandemic. I mean it was just basically my

156
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: life was hanging out with producer Mark to do this

157
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: show occasional visits from the Snow Princess and Toolula the

158
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: French bulldog for over a year, excuse me, for over

159
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: a year. And so it's it's been quite a thing.

160
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: And Mark, you know, you've become a voice that's known

161
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: on the show. And and uh, you know we've got

162
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: we got big plans for Mark two folks. So don't worry.

163
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: Things or things are all in process. It's all happening.

164
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: So you know, this is uh, this is where we're going.

165
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: This is the this is the future. I'm so thankful.

166
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate all the messages you've already been sending me.

167
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: I know, the Wall Street Journal sent out a huge

168
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: push notification and I've never gotten so many messages at once.

169
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: On my I felt like my phone had been hit

170
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: with a missile. Or something. It's just my phone was

171
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: blowing up all over the place and it's amazing and

172
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm thankful, I'm humbled. And for me, I mean,

173
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: this is the equivalent of maybe not winning the super Bowl,

174
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 1: but getting to the super Bowl. Winning is going to

175
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: be creating a great show with Clay Travis, really making

176
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: it meaningful for people, providing a voice of insight, entertainment,

177
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: comfort in this crazy country that feels like it's just

178
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: losing its mind sometimes. You know, we're just going to

179
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: do the absolute best show we can every day and

180
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: make it all worth your time. So this show will

181
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: continue for at least the next month or so as

182
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: it is. That's the plan. And so and if you're

183
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: listening to me on podcast, I want you to know

184
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: that the Buck Sexton podcast will also continue. So don't

185
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: think that's going away. We're going to be doing a

186
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton podcast probably before the twelve to three show.

187
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: Every day be about thirty forty minutes just me riffing

188
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: and doing my thing, and then I'm gonna sit in

189
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: the studio with Clay. That that's our plan. So don't

190
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: think that the Buck Sex and podcasts going away. But

191
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna be doing this show twelve to three. It'll

192
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: be the it's the biggest radio platform in America. And

193
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: here I am telling you that this is really happening.

194
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel all that real to me yet, but

195
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: with each passing hour, I think it gets more real.

196
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: So I just want to send to all the team

197
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: out there, to all of you listening across America, I

198
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: just want to send you a big hug and thank you.

199
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: And you're all amazing. And so many people in this

200
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: audience that I've been writing to and texting and messaging

201
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: with for years, you've been so You've just been so awesome.

202
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: And all my worst days, on days when it felt like,

203
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, I've done this show, when I've had you know,

204
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: a terrible you know, stomach illness and Celiac disease that

205
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: I didn't even know what it was, and migrains and

206
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: through breakups in my personal life, so you know, illness

207
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: and you know, emotional stuff in my life and everything else,

208
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: and you were always I know, sometimes people feel like

209
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: the radio host is there for them, you all were

210
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: always there for me, and I hope you'll all join

211
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: me at twelve to three. And it's a celebration team

212
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. I don't anticipate that the durability of the

213
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: vaccine protection is going to be infinite. It's just not so.

214
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: I would imagine we will need at some time a booster.

215
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: What we're figuring out right now is what that interval

216
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: is going to be. We know from studies following people

217
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: from the original clinical trials that the protection goes out

218
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: at least six months and likely a year, but we

219
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: don't know right now how long that will be. So

220
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: what we're doing is we're following those cohorts because there's

221
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: a level of protection that's called a correlative immunity, and

222
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: we know that if you're above that level, you're in

223
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: quite good shape to be protected. The vaccine itself gives

224
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: you a level up here. So how long it takes

225
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: to start coming back down, we're following it. So we

226
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: could have to get booster shots at some point. So

227
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: I just wantever to be very clear. We're now operating

228
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: in this world where we think, okay, we've gotten past

229
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: the madness of COVID, we've gotten past the point where

230
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: Fauci can get away with saying any absurdity that he

231
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: wants to. But we still have the prospect of this

232
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: returning in the future. I want everyone to be very

233
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: clear on that this is not over with. For those

234
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: who say, Buck, why do you why do you keep

235
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: talking about masking and social distancing and the regulations and

236
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: all this stuff and how crazy it is, it's because

237
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they're not done now. Maybe they're not

238
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: able to get back to where they want to be

239
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: with a control with the authority they had, but they're

240
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: not finished with us yet. Fauci and the rest of them,

241
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: they think they've done a good job. Because if they

242
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: didn't accept that narrative, if they did not believe that

243
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: they have done a good job, think about what that

244
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: would mean if they had been wrong, as Fauci has

245
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: been this whole time. Think about what they've put the

246
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: country through unnecessarily with the mask mania and the lockdowns

247
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: and just the constantly changing expert advice. People have less

248
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: faith in doctors now and in the medical community than

249
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: they did before the pandemic. I think that's pretty clear,

250
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: at least when it comes to health policy experts. Maybe

251
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: not your personal MD, your personal physician, but in terms

252
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: of everyone else out there who's talking about the public

253
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: health measures. Yeah, it's a it's a pretty pretty remarkable

254
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: that this is the situation that we're in. It's pretty

255
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: remarkable that these are the circumstances in which we find

256
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: ourselves because they've been wrong so often, and yet we're

257
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: supposed to think that they're not going to be wrong

258
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: again in the future. Here's fauci on. You know, his

259
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: biggest flip blop recently had to do with the they're

260
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: studying the bats. You know, you wouldn't study them in

261
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: Virginia in fair facts, you got to study him in China. Well,

262
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: here he is on. He's not He wasn't wrong, He

263
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: just had to adjust things a little bit. Play six.

264
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: I have always said that the high likelihood is that

265
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: this is a natural occurrence. I didn't dismiss anything. I

266
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: just said it's a high likelihood that this is a

267
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: natural occurrence from the environment of an animal reservoir that

268
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: we have not yet identified. Well, I still maintain that,

269
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: but as I just mentioned to the response to the

270
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: questions that since you don't know one hundred percent about that,

271
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: because no one knows, including me, one hundred percent, what

272
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: the origin is. Is the reason while we're in favor

273
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: of further investigations. You know, I just want to know more.

274
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm in favor of the further investigation. And yeah, yeah,

275
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: sure you are. Now he's in favor of further investigation.

276
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: Before it was a it was much less clear that

277
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: that was what because they were really shutting down the

278
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: narrative that Donald Trump was using. And that's because they

279
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: had to oppose whatever Trump said. It didn't really matter.

280
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: Oh here, you know, you look back, you start to

281
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: pull it some of the headlines and see what was

282
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: being said. There was such a sense of certainty and

283
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: authority that they had on all this, and it just

284
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: wasn't true. It wasn't real, it wasn't accurate. But it

285
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: was more important to seem right at the time and

286
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: to use certainty to achieve that perception than to actually

287
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: be correct on the facts than to actually be correct

288
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: on the substance. So that's a huge lesson learned here,

289
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: and you and I have learned it because we pay

290
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: attention to this. But the rest the others out there,

291
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the Fauciites, and they're still wearing masks.

292
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: Think about this. I've been telling everybody I walk around

293
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: New York City. Now there are people that are outdoors

294
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: wearing masks, and they'll tell you. People will defend this

295
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: and say, oh, they're just being careful. So if they're

296
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: being careful, I'm sure they're vaccinated, right. I mean, if

297
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: you're somebody who's scared enough about this virus and you're

298
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: gonna wear a mask outside, you must be scared enough

299
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get vaccinated. And so now you've got

300
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: vaccinated people outdoors wearing masks, just to give you a

301
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: sense of how this is not something that is just

302
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: going to fade away easily. This was a mass psychological

303
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: control experiment that was run in this country. Of course,

304
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: there was a very deadly real virus. I'm not saying that,

305
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: but there was a side effect of this was the

306
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: psychological control experiment, and it did not go well for

307
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: those of us who believe in liberty. As we headed

308
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: a Memorial Day weekend, the summer months ahead are always

309
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: a great reminder of how lucky we are to be Americans.

310
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: From time with friends and family, backyard barbecues, road trips, ballgames,

311
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: heading the beach, the lake, wherever you name it. It's

312
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: also a great time to show how proud we are

313
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: to be Americans, and part of the way we do

314
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: that is by flying the American flag in front of

315
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: our homes. And not just any American flag. I recommend

316
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: one that you could rest assured won't tangle around a

317
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: pole or get mildewed, torn shredded, or any of that stuff,

318
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: because it constantly happens to flags out there when they're

319
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: not the right kind. That's why you have to check

320
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,600

338
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: where the novel Coronavirus came from, yet, the conspiracy theories

339
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: filled a void. I'm telling you the Chicoms are trying

340
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: to weaponize this thing. Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh

341
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: with zero proof, suggesting a Chinese bioweapon lab is to blame.

342
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: It is this question about the Wuhan lab. We know

343
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: that it's been debunked. Those same agencies now have been

344
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: tapped with investigating one of Trump World's most favorite conspiracy theories.

345
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: This week, Donald Trump is still pushing the debunked bunkum

346
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: despite his own and religious community's findings that that is

347
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: simply not true and there is simply no reason to

348
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: believe that that is the case. There is no empirical

349
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: evidence to verify that. Coming up with a conspiracy theory

350
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: to try and bowman to xenophobia with respect to the

351
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: Chinese has just as much factual support as taking clorox.

352
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: If he can't just sit back and let the doctors

353
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: and the scientists do their jobs. He's got to chime in.

354
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: He may pick up the conspiracy theory that this was

355
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: some weapon. People don't keep bats complete blow. Oh okay,

356
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: so they should make fun of everybody who was right.

357
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: Trump was right, Rush was right, Cotton was right. You

358
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: go down the list, all these all these people who

359
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: were saying, oh, I think it came from a lab,

360
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: they were mocked and ridiculed. Why would they be mocked

361
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: and ridiculed on a point where no one really knew

362
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: the answer and there was a completely reasonable perspective based

363
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: on what actual data that we had, that it did

364
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: come from a lab. Right, But this brings me to

365
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: what I'm really fired up about today in terms of

366
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: the news cycle. Obviously, big announcement today and in case

367
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: you missed it earlier, I'll be moving as the co

368
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: host twelve to three nationwide in the Russia LIMBOS slot,

369
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: co hosting with Clay Travis, the two of us a

370
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: duo to bring talk radio, you know, further into the future,

371
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: to just continue on the legacy and to build and

372
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: to bring in hopefully new generations to listen. And that's

373
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: that's our plan, but we're gonna be uh, we're gonna

374
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: be going for it. So that's where my mind is today.

375
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: So if I sound at all scattered or anything, folks,

376
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: it's not because of anything other than today is probably

377
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: the biggest day in my professional career now yet. So

378
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: that's that's a lot to uh to handle. It's it's

379
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: you know, I, like I've said before, I've had to

380
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: do the show under all kind the circumstances. But a

381
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: day like this where there's really, honestly so much celebration

382
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 1: but also recognition of responsibility, it's it's hit me. It's

383
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: hit me right now. So I'll just do what I do,

384
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: focus in on the work. Facebook was suppressing stories about this.

385
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: Facebook was suppressing anybody who was trying to push the idea.

386
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: And it was a theory, no one, It's not that

387
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: I even said it was absolute, but it was a theory.

388
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: And the social media giants decided that you weren't allowed.

389
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: You were not allowed to share this idea out there,

390
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: you were not allowed to tell people this on their

391
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: platforms because they were so sure that it was wrong.

392
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: We ran this experiment, as I've said, in authoritarianism. It

393
00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: was like a one year trial of authoritarian and we

394
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: ran this experiment in such a way that we were

395
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: able to see who really thinks that they should have

396
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: the right to control public perception and public communication. And yes,

397
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: it's the authoritarian left, the Democrat Party. But the social

398
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: media giants were awful on this, and we should never

399
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: forget what they did. We should never forget that they

400
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: allowed you know, idiot English literature majors who work in

401
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: the you know, either the fact checking or the customer

402
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: service or the customer experience or whatever departments of Facebook.

403
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: And these are not the actual engineers or anything that

404
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: built these systems. But the people that get to make

405
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: determinations about policy within them are a bunch of you know,

406
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: left wing liberal arts grads who don't know a thing

407
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: about a thing, but they're able to tell you that

408
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to have your not even belief, just

409
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: you're not even allowed to deposit a theory, one that

410
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: was always rooted in data and one that was always

411
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: rooted in fact, but you weren't necessarily clear on. Think

412
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: about how much this undermines also our belief that we're

413
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: allowed to have conversations in this country about oh everything

414
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: from you know, vaccines and vaccine policy, to how we

415
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: would deal with a pandemic in the future. They said,

416
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: shut up, you're not allowed to disagree, and they did

417
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: that on major issues where they were wrong. They were wrong. Now,

418
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: I think that's deeply concerning for us. It's one thing

419
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: to be chasing down flat earthers, and I know that's

420
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: what they thought they were doing. Right their belief, at

421
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: least some of them, I think others recognize that this

422
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: was just a powerplay, But at some level, their belief

423
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: was that they were they were eliminating factually egregiously wrong stuff.

424
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: But what do we do about the fact that they

425
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: were wrong? Well, what is the takeaway from this? How

426
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: do we how do we go forward as a society

427
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: in response to the fact that those who have the

428
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: most power to control conversations across the country, those who

429
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: have the most influence, they are in fact the ones

430
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: who are the most egregiously wrong, enormously, catastrophically on the

431
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: wrong side of many issues, whether it was school reopened

432
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: for children, whether it was the shutdown of the Wuhan

433
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: lab escape theory. In so many areas, they just were

434
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: making it up as they were going along. And I've

435
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: just i gotta tell you that's going to be something

436
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: that we have to address, because you don't think that

437
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: they're going to give this power up willingly going into

438
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: the next election. I mean going into things in the

439
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: future where the narrative really matters a whole lot. And

440
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: where does the narrative matter more than in a presidential election? Right?

441
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: Where does perception matter more than in politics? And that's

442
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: why you know, I think we're at a point where

443
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: we have to take the power of big tech away

444
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: or else there'll be no future in which we could

445
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: even conceive of it. We have to find ways to

446
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: nullify this advantage in what is really a PSI up campaign.

447
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: And when they can tell you that you can't say

448
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: something because it's untrue, and it is true and there's

449
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: no consequences for them. Yeah, they did it during a pandemic,

450
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: but they also did it about the election. They're also

451
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: going to do it about the next election. I can

452
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: assure you of that. And they don't do it to

453
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: their own side. Russia collusion completely fine, no problem with

454
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: that whatsoever. Russia collusion, they were also happy with that,

455
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: and that's because it was advancing their err of it

456
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: was advancing what their side wanted. And as I just

457
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: see this continue on here, we ignore this as conservatives,

458
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: as Americans, we ignore this at our peril. I'm still enraged, honestly,

459
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: very very angry about what all these tech companies did

460
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,239
Speaker 1: to shut down free speech at a time when we

461
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: needed more speech, when we needed a greater ability to

462
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: share thoughts that were contrary to the dominant narrative. And

463
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: there needs to be accountability and it should be scorched earth.

464
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: I mean, whatever we can do to hobble big techs

465
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: ability to do this going forward. We should do whatever

466
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: can whatever actions can be taken. That's what needs to happen.

467
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: And I wish I could say that there was a

468
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: clear roadmap here that we knew exactly where all this

469
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: is going. But I can tell you this, elections in

470
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: this country are going to be very very tight at

471
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: the national level for the foreseeable future. And if they

472
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: can shut down information and people that spread conservative thoughts,

473
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: ideas values, if they can shut us down with impunity,

474
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: they will continue to do so. Now it's now the

475
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: cats out of the bag. Now we see what the

476
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: real idea is here, what they're really trying to accomplish

477
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: with all that they do, and it is complete information

478
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: dominance in order to control America and make it effectively

479
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: impossible for us to fight back. All Right, I've got

480
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: my friend Jesse Kelly with us now. He is a

481
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: syndicated radio host in his own right of the Jesse

482
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: Kelly Show, also my brother on the first TV where

483
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: he has I'm Right with Jesse Kelly on every night.

484
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: And like me, he was one of the few from

485
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: the very beginning who refused to bend the knee to

486
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: the mass cultists, to big tech, to their suppression all

487
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: of it. Jesse, what's it feel like to be right?

488
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: My man? Well, it's a heavy bird that I carry

489
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: around all the time. Buck, I'm just so used to

490
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: it by this point. It's that no one as there's Oh,

491
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: by the way, before we get going, is it awkward

492
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: if I congratulate you? Because I know every single person

493
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: and their brother has congratulated you today, and I don't

494
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: just want to be that guy. But I am very

495
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: happy for you and as well deserved. That's one. Two.

496
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: It feels good being right, Buck, But what it would

497
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: honestly make me feel better if I thought everyone had

498
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: learned their lessons, so they didn't trust the system the

499
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,959
Speaker 1: next time. And let me ask you, but do you

500
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: feel like they've learned their lessons? No, I don't know

501
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: a lot of accountability out there. I don't think I've

502
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: heard one persons step I'm gonna say, oh, you know,

503
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: I kind of blew that I'll do better next time.

504
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. There's been no accountability for those who were wrong.

505
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: And you know a perfect example of this is in

506
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: my building, Jesse, where I live in New York City.

507
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: They have left up now now there's no official word.

508
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: During COVID we would get these you know, you better

509
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: mask up or else building policy, Health Department, blah blah

510
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: that they were. They were all about it. But now

511
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: that it's no longer, even in New York, I mean

512
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: we're not quite as cool as Texas where you are,

513
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: but even in New York, there's no more. If you're vaccinated,

514
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: you know you're you're allowed. And we all know that. That

515
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: That also means we're just kind of on the honor

516
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: system now and people are just gonna do what they're

517
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: gonna do. Basically about about masking indoors, but they're they've

518
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: told me this. The building managers told me they won't

519
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: pull down they're wear a mask signs in all public

520
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: places because people are so scared. So I'm walking around saying, basically,

521
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: we've got a bunch of you know, thirty to fifty

522
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: year olds in my building wearing masks. They're all vaccinated. Okay,

523
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: they're all vaccinated. They're wearing masks, and we can't pull

524
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: the signs down because they've been so conditioned that they're

525
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: too frightened to deal with the new reality of living

526
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: normal lives. Well, what's that. You've seen that movie? Everyone's

527
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: seen the great movie Shawshank Redemption, right, and the old

528
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: guy I think his name was Red who finally gets

529
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: let out of prison and he can't he can't deal

530
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: with it. He ends up hanging himself and grungey little

531
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: apartment because he cannot deal with freedom. Now, I understand

532
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: that maybe a little bit of a hammy analogy, but

533
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: it's one percent true with what we're dealing with. Buck.

534
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: People have been told you're gonna die, You're gonna die,

535
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: your Diagrama's gonna die, your kids are gonna die. Everyone

536
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: in America's gonna die if you Why don't you wear

537
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: a mask? You're gonna kill everybody in the especially the

538
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: soft brained people in this society. I don't know that

539
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: there is a way to deprogram those people. Buck I've argued,

540
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: and people think I'm nuts. I think it'll take ten

541
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: years before you see all the masks come off. We

542
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: have convinced people time and time again, the entire system

543
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: told them millions would die. How do you all of

544
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: a sudden stand up now and say, oh, hey, you're

545
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: good people. People can't think like that. The minds don't

546
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: work like that. It'll be a long time, man. And

547
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to him. We're speaking to Jesse Kelly,

548
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: host of The Jesse Kelly Show. You can also listen

549
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: to his podcast Listen to podcasts h Jesse. I'm not

550
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: trying to make a stretch here with this, with this

551
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: this next leap, but it may sound like it to some.

552
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: The the Biden administration is trying to mirror the Obama

553
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: administration in as many ways as it possibly can. The strategies,

554
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: the rhetoric we're seeing, we're seeing this all right. This

555
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: is this is the third Obama term without Obama as president,

556
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: and Biden is effectively just a vessel for the Obama

557
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: machinery of the Democrat Party to do what it wants

558
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: to do, and they love using a crisis and the

559
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: compliance from the public that that brings to push things.

560
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: You know, before it was it was the financial crisis

561
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: of two thousand and eight, and all these things were

562
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: getting done, and all you need healthcare at all, you

563
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: need a trillion dollars stimulus. What I see here is

564
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: they're not yet they're not yet satisfied with the amount

565
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: of bending of the knee they had from COVID because

566
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to push it into the into

567
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: their preferred policies, which is why they're now talking about

568
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: a six trillion dollars spending bill from six trillion dollars

569
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: budget in addition to the trillions of spending on infrastructure

570
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: and other things they've They've got a crisis Jesse, and

571
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: they're not letting it go to waste. They don't because

572
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: that's their mentality. Book, I mean us out and you

573
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: always do that. You nailed it. That's their mentality. Now.

574
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: It's why every Democrat I've ever known, for the most part,

575
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: is a visible human being. At the same time, they

576
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: do get wins all the time in politics because they're

577
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: never happy. I mean, what did COVID do for the Democrats, Well,

578
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: let's see it. Let them bounce a sitting president who,

579
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: bombastic as he was, was wildly insanely successful both economically

580
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: and foreign policy wise. COVID allowed them to bounce that

581
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: man from power and give Democrats power. But the beauty

582
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: of Democrats the way they handle their business, and we

583
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: should probably be more like this. They don't take the

584
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: presidency and the House and the Senate and then sit

585
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: back and take even five minutes and say to themselves,

586
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: oh man, we nailed this. No, the second they get there,

587
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: it's what else can we destroy? How else can we

588
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: wreck this country? We must advance constantly, and it's why

589
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: a small minority of communists have managed to take over

590
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: every cultural institution in this country in the course of

591
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: about fifty sixty years. I like that you throw around

592
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: the term imuni is to talk about them. I mean,

593
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: I'll refer to them as communes, which is clearly meant

594
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: to just be disparaging, but also go to their rude ideology.

595
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: You know, Jesse that there are going to be people

596
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: who say that's not fair. They're not really communists. They're

597
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: democratic socialists, or you know, they're progressive democ or whatever

598
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: they'll they'll prefer some other, some other terminology. Just I

599
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: want I want you to tell me and all the

600
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: folks listening, why, why do you think the communists is

601
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 1: the way to actually refer to these hardcore leftists. Well,

602
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: people would pretend communism is somehow complicated. Buck this is

603
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: the problem they make. WHOA, No, they haven't sees the

604
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: means of production and things like that. Communism is not

605
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: complicated people. Communism is simply the promise of power in

606
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: exchange for hurting the people you blame for your problems.

607
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: That's all communism has ever been. That's all communism is now.

608
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: That's why it's not economic in America. It's more shifted

609
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: to race and sex and things like that. It always

610
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: takes that form, and that is the Democrat Parties policy

611
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: for him. Let me ask everybody who doubts that they're communists.

612
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: I want you to imagine the Democrat primary when all

613
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 1: those candidates were up there. Imagine one candidate besides Tulsea

614
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: Gabbert answering the question, tell me what you love about America.

615
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: Imagine what one of them would say, not one of

616
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: them would have had an answer to that question at all,

617
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: because they don't love America. They want to destroy America,

618
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 1: just like all communists have done. Communism is a religion

619
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: of domination and destruction. That's what the Democratic Party has become. Jesse,

620
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: what is your case for optimism going into this holiday

621
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: weekend and a summer when at least we'll be able

622
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: to breed a little more freely. I watch America waking

623
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: up buck these numbers of people moving out of states,

624
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: moving out of California, moving out of New York to

625
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: places that are more free. Now, granted, that makes me

626
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: sad for California, that makes me sad for New York.

627
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't like to toss states aside, but that tells

628
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: me the American people do not want to live under

629
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: tyrannical governments. They will choose to live in places where

630
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: they can and be free. And they're waking up to

631
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 1: the gigantic scam that is the system. The people are

632
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: waking up Jesse Kelly, Everybody check out the Jesse Kelly Show,

641
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,080

642
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna have to change your cell phone

643
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: number and then you're you know, you'd have to shut

644
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: down all your accounts so with US Commerce couldn't get

Speaker 1: don't ever even get the chance to be even be

660
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: considered for something like this, and you, you and I

688
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 1: need to go. I was promised. I was promised world

689
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: class barbecue at your restaurant in Memphis and shooting machine

690
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: guns in Tennessee. So this is what I was told

691
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: is going to happen. Don't think I've forgotten about this.

692
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: So the only place I'm ever gonna buy you a

693
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: meal again is at my restaurant. Outside of that, I've

694
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: always wanted a rich radio friend you're now, especially that guy.

695
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: So you're paying when we go out anywhere else but

696
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: in Memphis. Yes, Ferguson's barbecue is on me, I can

697
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: promise you. So, man, how how are you feeling about

698
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: Let's just take a step back here. State of the

699
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: country right now, this Biden administration, what we see going on,

700
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: I feel like the bloom is off. The row is

701
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, there's the Libs and they're crazy

702
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: and they'll say he's great, but I think people are

703
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: starting to realize, oh, this is really bad. This is

704
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: this is making your life harder, more expensive, less free,

705
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, with very little upside for a whole lot

706
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: of folks across the country. Yeah. I think there's there's

707
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: two hypotheses here. Either one we got lied too directly

708
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: by Joe Biden and he's laughing all the way to

709
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: the communist bank, right, he's no moderate Joe as he

710
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: described himself kind of during the campaign, or the second theory,

711
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: And I think this is the one I lean more towards,

712
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: and that is he's really not running the country and

713
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: he's totally out of touch. That actually is happening, and

714
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: people are abusing his inaction right, his lack of engagement

715
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 1: because of whatever the hell's going on with him cognitively,

716
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: and they're just running hardcore to the socialist left right

717
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 1: now and doing everything they can. I mean, look at

718
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: inflation right now. This is something that you shouldn't you

719
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: should care about regardless of politics, as prices are continued

720
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: to rise. And I saw the Biden administration say, well,

721
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: you don't need to worry about inflation because we just

722
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: sent you an average family I think it's at ten

723
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars, so it will quote cover the inflation. Okay, Well,

724
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: personal consumption expenditures went up eleven point three percent in

725
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: January through March this year. You look at that. That's

726
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: also unexpected. The Treasury has said this is not what

727
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: they were expecting, so it's bad. The Commerce Department is saying, yes,

728
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: we agree that this is up, but don't worry because

729
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: we sent you a bunch of free money, so it'll

730
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: cover it. Well, what about the next quarter you're gonna

731
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: send another check, and the next quarter after that you're

732
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: gonna send another check. I'm assuming no. And then we

733
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: hear that even Joe Biden is so delusional that he's

734
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: got a new plan to spend even more money trillions

735
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: of dollars and there's people's crotch in their head. I

736
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: think even the Democratic Party now going, how are you

737
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: going to pay for this? How is it feasible to

738
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: accomplish this? Now? All of this is happening while the

739
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: guy doesn't back Israel, while he's sending money of the Palestinians,

740
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: while we're getting our lunch eaten by China right now,

741
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: And what's happening with their policies with China and the

742
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: fact that they're having a backtrack on the COVID nineteen

743
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 1: virus where they said, oh, it came from a wet market,

744
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: where sure it came from a wet market, and sure

745
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: enough it didn't Ben Fergus and everybody of Ben ferguson

746
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: podcast and Ben, you know one area where I think

747
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: we've also seen the delusional left and Biden. To be fair,

748
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: Biden is not quite a defund the police guy, but

749
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: his party is the defund the police party. I mean

750
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: the id, the heart and soul of the Democrat Left

751
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: right now is anti cop pro BLM movement. And I

752
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: think we've all seen, based in just the numbers, the

753
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: violence numbers the last year, that there's been no upside

754
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: to this and it's been horrible for a lot of

755
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: cities all across the country. And the Democrats this might

756
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: eventually meeting in the next election cycle. This could really

757
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 1: come back to haunt them, and it should. I think

758
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: that's the most important thing to remember. Well, it should.

759
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: And the numbers, if you look at this, just the

760
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: new numbers that came out recently, the support for Black

761
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: Lives Matter has plummeted in this country. I mean totally

762
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: plummeted because people are tired of living in hell and

763
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: seeing these high crime numbers that are continuing to come

764
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: out of areas where we have defunded or pushed to

765
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,479
Speaker 1: defund the police. I mean, look at the murder rates,

766
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: and this is only murder rates year over year. Philadelphia

767
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: up forty percent, Minneapolis is up fifty six percent, Portland,

768
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: where they're having just total riots nightly now up eight

769
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: hundred percent. New York cities up twenty two percent, Chicago's

770
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: up twenty two percent, Los Angeles up twenty seven percent,

771
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: DC up thirty five percent. All of these cities have

772
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: two things in common. Black Lives Matter is taken over.

773
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: The elected officials have abandoned to humanize the police, and

774
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: they've all moved in some shape matter form to defund

775
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: the police. So now you're having people that can get

776
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: out that are getting out. I mean, how you're in

777
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: New York right, you know this, How many of your

778
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: friends have left saying I'm never coming back. I'm not

779
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: going to live in this city any longer. That is

780
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: so anti police and is shutting down businesses, in small

781
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: businesses and destroying an economy. You cambine these two things

782
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: together to where we are now. And I do think

783
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: there's going to be hell to pay come midterm elections

784
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: because but there's some Democrats that I really think are

785
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: okay with their opposition, and that's how they see many

786
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: of the people that are leaving leaving. They're going, good,

787
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: you leave, and I don't have to worry about you

788
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: voting against me. You leave the city, and I will

789
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: own this city, even if it is a hellhole like

790
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: a Detroit, for example, where I'm totally in control. I mean,

791
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: that's what the recent police chief in Detroit it said,

792
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: as he's thinking about running for governor in Michigan. He's like,

793
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: they abandon a city and then sees power and we're

794
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: fine with it. That is a problem, and he's absolutely right.

795
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: You know another area where I also think that not

796
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:49,959
Speaker 1: only is the Biden administration vulnerable politically, but I think

797
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: that people are going to realize in time that they

798
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: have no end. There's no way they're going to be

799
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: able to stop this vulnerability. I mean, they actually aren't

800
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: going to be able to really moderate their position or

801
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: fix it. And that's at the southern border. You know.

802
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: I just had earlier this week, Senator from your home state,

803
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: Marsha Blackburn, in Tennessee on and people think of it.

804
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: I was just down to the border recently been and

805
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 1: people think of it as a as a Texas, New Mexico,

806
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 1: Arizona issue, maybe a California and New York issue, because

807
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: the big cities and the magnet for a lot of

808
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: illegal illegal immigrants to come to into those those job markets.

809
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: But it's also an everywhere issue in this country. She

810
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 1: was telling me that in Tennessee there are illegal alien

811
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: children who are being flown in by HHS and sometimes

812
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night at night and all

813
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: the night at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and none of the locally

814
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 1: elected officials we're even told this was happening. What's even

815
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: more corrupt is not only are they flying these kids

816
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: into Chattanooga, for example, but then they're immediately in the

817
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: middle of the night, at two thirty three in the morning,

818
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: putting them on a bus and driving them all the

819
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: way down to Miami, Florida, are driving them back to Dallas, Texas,

820
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: for example. I would argue that's a form of child abuse.

821
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: You put a kid on a plane without a parent

822
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, you fly them to

823
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: an undisclosed location in their mind, and then you take

824
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,439
Speaker 1: them so no one can see them and put them

825
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: on buses, and then you put them on these buses

826
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: where they're not allowed to leave the buses for twenty hours,

827
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: for eighteen hours. And those numbers aren't aren't a joke

828
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: If you look at the bus routes and what they drive,

829
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: which is the speed limit right to get down to

830
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: Miami from chattanoogao to get from Chattanooga back to Dallas,

831
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: and not allowing the kids ever to leave the bus,

832
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 1: I would argue that's a form of child abuse. Speaking

833
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: of Ben Ferguson, host of the Ben Ferguson podcast and

834
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: radio show, you should all check out what he's doing

835
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: over there can subscribe to where you listen to podcasts. Ben,

836
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 1: it seems to me that there's a clear possibility. I mean,

837
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: I tweeted yesterday that it's it's likely in my mind

838
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 1: that rohndes sent will be president. It's just a question

839
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 1: of when. But there are still these messages being put

840
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: out by President former President Trump, and there's a lot

841
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: of people who are saying they're ninety percent sure, ninety

842
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: five percent sure. What do you think right now? What

843
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: do you think the temperament of the conservative base is

844
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: about this? What do they see? What do they want? Look?

845
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: I think, regardless of what the media tries to sell us,

846
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: this party right now is still the party of Donald Trump.

847
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: That could change depending on the outcome of the midterm elections.

848
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: If Donald Trump gets on the campaign trail and does

849
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: what he does so well and these rallies with the

850
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: lifting of all these COVID and saying restrictions, and he's

851
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,240
Speaker 1: able to flip the House and add in the Senate

852
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: maybe or flip the Senate. I guess technically from where

853
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 1: we are right now, then it's his if he wants

854
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: it now if he doesn't, I think the front runners

855
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: certainly round Santis at this point. And there's a lot

856
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 1: of people that like round the Santist because he's gotten

857
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: pretty much anything right with COVID. He's a lot like

858
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, I would argue, a little bit more polished

859
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: and less mean tweets, which many in the establishment may appreciate.

860
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: And there's some that just hate Donald Trump and the GOP,

861
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: and they hate him so much that they're ready to

862
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: move on to anybody else now. But you also, look,

863
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: there's still a civil war happening right now within the GOP.

864
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the arrogance of former Speaker the House,

865
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, whose quote in the

866
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: headline from CNN Today made me laugh. He says he's

867
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 1: going to enter the GOP's civil war by criticizing Trump.

868
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: I would argue, who gives a crap? Right, I mean,

869
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: no one gives a crap, And he says, we've got

870
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: to move in the you know, of course, he leaks

871
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: the search of the speech. He's going to give it

872
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,359
Speaker 1: the Reagan Library. In translation, he called a reporter and said,

873
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,280
Speaker 1: you want part of my speech. We'm going to criticize

874
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: Trump because he wants a headline. But he says apparently

875
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 1: in his speech he's going to give, he said, quote,

876
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: the Republicans must move away from the populous appeal of

877
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: one personality, because then we're not going anywhere. What's so

878
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: ironic about this is he's going to give this speech

879
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. And Ronald Reagan was

880
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: to the GOP exactly what Donald Trump is the GOP

881
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: right now. And to say it Ronald Reagan's library, that

882
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 1: you can't have a one man, one personality lead a

883
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: party is insanity because that's exactly what Ronald Reagan actually did. Remember,

884
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan was the anti establishment choice when he got

885
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: the nomination in nineteen eighty. The safe choice, if you remember,

886
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: was George Bush forty one, and there was a big war,

887
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: and then to bring people back together, Ronald Reagan picked

888
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: the adversary. They had a nasty battle, and a lot

889
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: of people don't remember this, and he said, all right,

890
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,879
Speaker 1: let's bury the hatchet, let's make everybody happy. I'll ask

891
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,439
Speaker 1: George Bush to be my vice president. It worked out well.

892
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: But this idea that you can't have one leader in

893
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: the repub Looking Party, which is what Paul Ryan's implying,

894
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: is just stupid. And to do it at the Reagan

895
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 1: Library where the one man was in charge of the party,

896
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: just shows how stupid these rhinos really are. My friend

897
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: Ben Ferguson, everybody check out the Ben Ferguson podcast and

898
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: look for his show on weekends, The Ben Ferguson Radio Show. Ben,

899
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: thanks so much, buddy, be talking to you soon, hey man,

900
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: and congrats. Enjoy the enjoy the day, and celebrate it.

901
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah. Normally it's not all of our districts

902
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: normally open then, so so this is one of the

903
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: first ones I think they sent, like one of the

904
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,359
Speaker 1: corporate media outlet's send some reporter down. They were trying

905
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: to make fun of Baker, like all these yokels are

906
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: having kids go in school. How crazy are these people? Right?

907
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: The crazy people are the ones that are vaccinated, still

908
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: wearing six masks in New York City. I mean to

909
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:52,439
Speaker 1: be honest with you, Oh man, it stings because it's true. Unfortunately,

910
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: and I really do believe, as I've said to you

911
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: so many times now, it is essentially a mental illness.

912
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:06,240
Speaker 1: It is a real it's an anxiety disorder, and that's

913
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: what people are suffering from now because of the pandemic.

914
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: And I just think we need to be clear about this.

915
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: We need to be honest about this, because otherwise we'll

916
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: never really get past it. Otherwise we'll never be in

917
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: a place where he can finally say we don't have

918
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: people walking around in fear anymore. But you know, Jasantis

919
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 1: as an option for president. I tweeted out yesterday that

920
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: it's it's just a question of when for Jasantis asprey.

921
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: And I don't mean running. I think he's gonna win.

922
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: I don't mean just running. I think he's going to

923
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 1: be the president of the United States. He's just he's

924
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: got too strong a record. He gets it, he's smart,

925
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: he's good on his feet, he governs well, he understands

926
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: the landscape, he communicates well. And I just think that

927
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 1: it's the big question that remains here is will will

928
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump decide that he wants to get in himself

929
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: or that he's going to push the apparatus and essentially,

930
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, be the guy. He'll be the chairman emeritus

931
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: in a sense of MAGA and push Ron de Santist forward.

932
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: I think that's the big question. But one thing I

933
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 1: will say is the fact that the left hates the

934
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: idea of Trump running against so much. The fact that

935
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: all the right people get so upset at the notion

936
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: of Trump running again and are trying to convince us

937
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: not to allow that to happen does make me think

938
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: about it a bit more. Here's an MSNBC host play one.

939
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 1: What I don't understand about the GOP because they are

940
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and beyond that, they're nothing, the Party of no,

941
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: the party of resentment. They don't stand for a thing.

942
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,479
Speaker 1: What I don't get is how dumb it is because

943
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: Trump is a losing proposition right now. He's got seventy

944
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: five percent of the party, which translates to thirty percent

945
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: of the population. He's not electable again, he cannot get

946
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 1: any swing voters. So what I don't get is why

947
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: they are so beholding to him, and that it's a loser.

948
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: He's an absolute loser going forward. And that's beyond the

949
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: indictments that are coming. They obviously you talked that earlier

950
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: on the show with my old buddy Michael Kohn about

951
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: Michael Kohen. But it's a loser. But the party has lost,

952
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: It's completely fall down. They can't get up. Yeah, when

953
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: you when you have someone like Donnie Deutsch who's saying

954
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: that Trump can't win. It makes me think, I I

955
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,959
Speaker 1: think Trump baby Kedwyn. When you upset all the right people,

956
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: it's very important in conservative politics media to know when

957
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:29,919
Speaker 1: you're upsetting the right people, you're you're definitely getting close,

958
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,320
Speaker 1: you know. And the note that they're so insistent that

959
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: Trump is a loser, really they were also insisted in

960
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. So I'm just saying, I'm open to this

961
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: back and forth. I'm open to these different thought processes

962
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: as we go forward on this one, but I'm I'm

963
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: definitely gonna be keeping a close eye on DeSantis. I

964
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: think I think he's our guy so far. We'll see that.

965
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: It's a long time from now to have the Republican primary,

966
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: but I think right now he looks like the guy.

967
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: There are a lot of VPN providers out there. You've

968
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: probably heard of a couple of them and maybe even

969
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: used a VPN before you're familiar with it. But I

970
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: do my research on sponsors. I only recommend brands to

971
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: my listeners that I believe in and that I use

972
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: when I can. And that's why I'm telling you with

973
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: full confidence, express VPN is the best VPN on the market.

974
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: All right, here's why Express VPN. It's a virtual private network,

975
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: so it protects you by hiding your IP address from

976
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 1: spying from big tech and encrypts your data. But Express VPN,

977
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: unlike a lot of competitors, doesn't log your data. It

978
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: doesn't try to make money by selling your information to

979
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 1: add companies. Express vpn developed a technology called Trusted Server

980
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: that makes it impossible for their servers to log any

981
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:46,320
Speaker 1: of your info for sales purposes. Okay, you want Express

982
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: VPN and it's so easy to use. Protect yourself with

983
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: the VPN that I use and trust. Go to Express

984
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: vpn dot com slash buck and get an extra three

985
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: months free on a one year package. That's Express vpn

986
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:04,280
Speaker 1: dot com slash buck Again Express vpn dot com slash

987
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,240
Speaker 1: buck to learn more. But now Joe Biden is president

988
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: and Democrats control both Houses of Congress, and you can

989
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 1: bet that rising crime will be an issue in the

990
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: twenty two campaign. And perhaps that's why Turney General Merrick

991
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: Garland just announced a new multi pronged plan to combat

992
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 1: violent crime, including federal agents helping local authorities identify and

993
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: arrest repeat violent offenders. The ATF and betting with local

994
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: homicide units and the DA working to disrupt violent drug

995
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: trafficking gangs, all while investing in crime prevention and community policing.

996
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 1: Despite the spike in mass shootings, Republicans in Congress will

997
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: continue to block gun reform bills, even modest reforms like

998
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 1: background checks, which have shown supermajority support. So, while James

999
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 1: Carville argues in The Wall Street Journal that Democrats are

1000
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,720
Speaker 1: the anti crime party, the Raging Cajun knows from harsh

1001
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,240
Speaker 1: experience that Republicans can turn rising crime into a culture

1002
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 1: war wedge issue. And as we turn the corner into summer,

1003
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: which its usual increase of violent crime, public safety is

1004
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: again front and center in people's minds after decades of declines,

1005
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: and Democrats are gonna have to deal with them risk

1006
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: political backlash. Yeah, isn't an amazing to hear the Democrat

1007
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 1: mouthpiece for CNN. They're talking about how they're the ones

1008
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: that really want to fix the crime issue. Their arguments

1009
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: are garbage. Oh yeah, background checks. You're right, If we

1010
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: strengthen the background checks, that's really gonna do a lot

1011
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 1: to stop homicides and shootings in Chicago and Saint Louis

1012
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: and New Orleans and Baltimore and Oakland. It's gonna it's

1013
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: gonna do a lot to stop the shootings in those

1014
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: high crime cities. No one thinks that there's no data

1015
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: to support it. It's not reasonable, it's not rational to

1016
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: believe that, but they do. I assure you they they

1017
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,879
Speaker 1: think that that's that's the big, you know, the big

1018
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: secret sauce here to turn the crime wave around. If

1019
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 1: only we would ban bump stocks or ghost guns or

1020
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: pick the latest you know issue gun issue dujore, then

1021
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: it would then it would turn the crime But Republicans

1022
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: won't go along with it. What what you've seen is

1023
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 1: a such a difference in mentality as a result of

1024
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: the COVID lockdowns and how we've dealt with this pandemic.

1025
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: Democrats will put you through endless harassment. They will turn

1026
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: into a nightmarish, a nightmarish hall monitor at the first opportunity.

1027
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter how stupid what they're saying you

1028
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: have to do is they will say it, and they

1029
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: will insist, they will demand that you do it. They

1030
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: will demand that you obey their little petty commands. And

1031
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: that's why on gun control. It's just we always have

1032
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: this discussion as though there is no gun control. There's

1033
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: already a ton of gun control. There's gun control all

1034
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: over the place. I gotta say, as I understand it,

1035
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: Abbott in Texas, I don't think he's actually let me

1036
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 1: check in see has Abbot signed the gun bill, because

1037
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: it seems to me Nope, nope. It seems to me

1038
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: that he has not yet got it. I mean, he's

1039
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: got constitutional carry now on his desk in Texas, and

1040
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 1: at least as of yes or oh no, he says

1041
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: he will, he says he'll sign. I don't think he's

1042
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 1: signed it yet. Anyway, I'll keep folks, I'll I'll make

1043
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 1: sure I keep an eye on that one. But the

1044
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 1: gun control stuff that the left will talk about here

1045
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: is just it's just harassing lawful gun owners. In fact,

1046
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: the data on concealed carry permit holders, for example, is

1047
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: that they're more law abiding, I believe, even than police,

1048
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: is what everyone's been saying recently. So you're you're if

1049
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: you're a concealed carry permit holder, you're less likely to

1050
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: commit a criminal act even than a cop on the

1051
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 1: Based on the numbers, it seems hard to believe. But

1052
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: that's the that's the statistic. That's what I've been told

1053
00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: and I've been hearing, so you know it. The Democrats

1054
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: are unserious, just fundamentally unserious about handling this crime situation,

1055
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: stopping it. They just would rather pretend that it has

1056
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: nothing to do with BLM. It has nothing to do

1057
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: with all of the different ways in which Democrats have

1058
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: been undermining public safety and making it harder for there

1059
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: to be you know, law and order, I mean, make

1060
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: it make it harder for us to continue on with

1061
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: this and you know, instead of speaking out, for example,

1062
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 1: and saying the right things here about this here you Gavin, Well,

1063
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: we'll actually let me start with former President Obama, who

1064
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: could tell everybody stop blaming cops. Cops are not the problem.

1065
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 1: They're actually the solution as much as they can be

1066
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: to the problem of gun violence and homicides and all

1067
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 1: the rest of it. But this is what Obama says,

1068
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: play seventeen. If I if you ask me, what are

1069
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: the things I wish I might have done better or

1070
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: more effectively? The thing that I constantly struggled with was

1071
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: how could I get the passion and concern that had

1072
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: been focused in with Treyvon and Ferguson and the subsequent events.

1073
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: How could I help people make the link between those

1074
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: events and political power and action, not just at the

1075
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: federal level, but even more importantly at the state and

1076
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: local levels, where the vast majority of criminal law and

1077
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: policing decisions are made. Yeah, how about your saying, respect cops,

1078
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: and let's really deal with where the violence is occurring

1079
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: and look at look at the actual causes of it

1080
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: and how we can bring down crime. You know, how

1081
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: about speak with clarity on that point. That would I

1082
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 1: think be so much more effective, so much more helpful.

1083
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 1: Or you could just be Governor Gavin Newsom who's fighting

1084
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:12,919
Speaker 1: back a recall effort in California and you know he's

1085
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 1: not done doing his A suave Gavin Newsom here I am.

1086
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: I just always sort of look like I stepped off

1087
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: a movie set, But I'm your governor, play eight. But

1088
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 1: it's time to deal with me. Endemic before this pandemic

1089
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: of gun violence, the preexisting condition that somehow sort of

1090
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: pushed aside last year but now is raised it's ugly

1091
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: head again this year. And wake up to this reality

1092
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: and take a little damn responsibility all of us to

1093
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: love a little bit more and a little bit better

1094
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 1: this time, and move beyond the platitudes and the usual

1095
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: rhetoric that tends to mark not just these moments, but

1096
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 1: the aftermath of these moments, as all of you go

1097
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: away in this fades out of you, and then we

1098
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: rense and replete someplace else in this country. So again

1099
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: to the victims, to those that lost their lives and

1100
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: the families lost their loved ones. Yes, our hearts go out,

1101
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: but we are resolved to not make this meaningless, but

1102
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: to bring meaning at this tragic moment. The ultimate platitude

1103
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 1: right now when we're talking about gun control efforts is

1104
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: to say we need to get past the platitudes. Now.

1105
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: This time it's different. This is what we hear every time.

1106
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: The reason it has been different in the past is

1107
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: that the solutions that the left the Democrats come up

1108
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: with in the aftermath of any kind of a mass

1109
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: shooting don't make sense, aren't going to address things. In fact,

1110
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: usually almost always what the Democrats want to move on

1111
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: from a legislative gun control position after a mass shooting

1112
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 1: is not something that would have and they'll even admit

1113
01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 1: this would not have prevented or in any way slow

1114
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: down the perpetrator of the mode of the mass shooting.

1115
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 1: They're using as the justification for that legislation. But they

1116
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,439
Speaker 1: just say, there's gun violence, let's make more restrictions on guns.

1117
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 1: You know, if at some point, you know, we would realize,

1118
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: for example, that there are tens of thousands of people

1119
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 1: every year who die in auto accidents all in I

1120
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 1: forget what the most recent numbers, but it's in the

1121
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 1: tens of thousands range. Now you could look at what

1122
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: you have for regulations on car. You have speed limits,

1123
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, there are seat belts, and there are air bags,

1124
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of things that try to limit

1125
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's illegal to drink and drive. There are

1126
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: things to try to limit the risk factors out there.

1127
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: But at some point you've done all that is reasonable

1128
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: in order to try to prevent the continued you know,

1129
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: order to try to prevent things from worsening. Or you

1130
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 1: could have, as I've been saying, ah loong, you could say, well,

1131
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: automobile need to go ten miles an hour. Well that's

1132
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 1: just really annoying and people don't want to do that.

1133
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: But if automobiles all had to go ten miles an

1134
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: hour across the country, it would cost who knows, you know,

1135
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: hundreds of billions, probably had lost hours in productivity and

1136
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: everything else. I mean, you think of how much more

1137
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: expensive it would be to get food to stores and

1138
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 1: to get people around, and how much longer you'd spend

1139
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: community enormous cost from that, and a lot of the

1140
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: cost is in time and in frustration, but also you know,

1141
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: economic time and everything else, or financial costs. And yet

1142
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 1: we all understand that that would be kind of crazy, right.

1143
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: The gun grabbers out there never accept that they're already

1144
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: a lot of gun laws. There's already a lot on

1145
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 1: the books that regulates the ownership, sale, of acquisition of

1146
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: all these things about guns. But instead they always go

1147
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 1: back to the same rhetorical well about how if only

1148
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: we would do more, we would save so many more

1149
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: lots times it's just not true. I mean, this is

1150
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: ga mean, there was this horrible shooting, a workplace shooting

1151
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: in San Jose, California. This is Governor Gavin Newsom, who

1152
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: is doing the usual politicians like to emote after this,

1153
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 1: and at some level our political leadership should obviously express

1154
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: solidarity with the community that is in mourning and the

1155
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: families that have suffered this loss. But then they get

1156
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: into these theatrics about how they must everyone must bend

1157
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: the knee and agree with whatever their preferred policy position

1158
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 1: on guns is after this, and that just doesn't work.

1159
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: We see that for what it is. But here's the

1160
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 1: hopefully not much longer governor of California. Play eighteen perhaps

1161
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: the right words, but it begs the damn question, what

1162
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 1: the hell's going on in the United States of America?

1163
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 1: The hell's wrong with us? And when are we going

1164
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: to come to grips with this? When are we gonna

1165
01:05:54,960 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 1: put down our arms literally and figuratively. Our politics stale rhetoric,

1166
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 1: finger parting, all a handwringing, consternation that produces nothing except

1167
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: more fury and frustration, more scenes like this, repeated over

1168
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: and over and over again. I say that not as

1169
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 1: a governor. I to say that as a father of

1170
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 1: fort What does he really want us all to do?

1171
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: Background checks? Is that there already our background checks is

1172
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's strength and tighten those background checks. That's

1173
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 1: going to save everybody. It's not gonna save anyone, but

1174
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Right, Look at COVID, Look at the

1175
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: lessons that we have from this. Does it matter more

1176
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: to people that whether they were right or wrong, or

1177
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: whether they were perceived to be right at the time

1178
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: that it was of most advantage to them, You know

1179
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: the answer, right, It's very important for us all to

1180
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 1: remember that going forward, there has been no accountability for

1181
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 1: those who are wrong on that, and there will be

1182
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 1: no accountability for those who are wrong on a lot

1183
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:01,720
Speaker 1: of policy issues. So that's why we have to hold

1184
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 1: the line and stand athwart them yelling. Not on my watch.

1185
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 1: There were people that had raised concerns early on a

1186
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 1: couple of years before, saying that, you know, the safety

1187
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: precautions in this particular lab weren't continuing always followed. And

1188
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: when that theory came out that it could have come

1189
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 1: from a lab, it came out under the former administration,

1190
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 1: And I think the messenger matters. I think during that

1191
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 1: time when that theory started to be told, it was

1192
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: buried in an administration and a former president who often

1193
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: kind of troked in kind of racist terms and dog whistles,

1194
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 1: and so it buried the message that could have been

1195
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 1: actually reasonable, but no one was going to hear it

1196
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 1: because it came from under Trump's administration, and the media

1197
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,439
Speaker 1: at that time was used to what he doled out,

1198
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 1: and they were going to push back on that Soviet

1199
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: style rewriting of history going on here. That's what this

1200
01:07:56,160 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: is just making up sense. Oh, it doesn't matter that

1201
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 1: they that the Democrats, the left got the it's not

1202
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: even just about getting it wrong. Maybe we'll find out more.

1203
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: Maybe we don't even know, you know, where this thing came,

1204
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 1: where this virus came from. Yet and all that just

1205
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: put aside who's right and who's not with this. Let's

1206
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 1: be very clear about or rather what's definitive and what's

1207
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: not with this. Let's be very clear. They shut something down,

1208
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:28,600
Speaker 1: They shut down inquiry and discussion because they pretended that

1209
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 1: they had the right answer, the only answer. And now

1210
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 1: their explanation for this is essentially, well, because Trump said it,

1211
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,640
Speaker 1: it had to be false. I mean, this is this

1212
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 1: is a parody, isn't this Let me think about it.

1213
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 1: Because Trump said it, it must it was incumbent upon

1214
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 1: us to object to it. It was it was necessary

1215
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 1: for us to say that he was wrong. And it's

1216
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: just it just all turns into a big excuse. It

1217
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:01,200
Speaker 1: just all turns into, well, we won't have any accountability

1218
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: for what we said. We were not to be held

1219
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: to account for this because ultimately we did what we

1220
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:09,600
Speaker 1: had to do, which wasn't to get it right on

1221
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: the lab League theory. It wasn't to be accurate about

1222
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: the reporting and the overall narrative about where the COVID

1223
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: nineteen pandemic originated from, where it came from. It was

1224
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 1: to smash Trump. That was the single most important thing.

1225
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: That's what they cared about. And in essence, and I've

1226
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 1: been saying this all along, they got what they wanted

1227
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. It worked, and we need to come

1228
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 1: to grips with that. We need to understand that what

1229
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: happened in twenty twenty was that for all the lies

1230
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 1: the Left had to tell, for all the smears and

1231
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 1: everything else, their plan to undermine and be Trump in

1232
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: the election worked. Whatever you think about the actual election

1233
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 1: itself too. I mean, I know that's a whole other conversation,

1234
01:09:56,200 --> 01:10:00,760
Speaker 1: but their plan worked, and that means that one we

1235
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 1: have to come to grips with that, and two we

1236
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 1: need to figure out how to stop that from happening again. Also,

1237
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: you know I've been telling you for a while that

1238
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: they love to blame Trump supporters for vaccine hesitancy, and

1239
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 1: there's actually substantial minority communities across the country that also

1240
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: have vaccine hesitancy. Here was what Biden says about this.

1241
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,680
Speaker 1: I think this is pretty fascinating plate too. We were

1242
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:35,600
Speaker 1: reaching out into minority communities, which, by the way, and

1243
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,759
Speaker 1: many of the older members of that community had memories

1244
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 1: of experimentation on Black Americans that were not told about,

1245
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 1: like what happened they you know, the Tuskegee Airmen and

1246
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:51,440
Speaker 1: all those tests, and so there's there was a great reluctance.

1247
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: I mean, does he really he really thinks that the

1248
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: Tuskegee Airmen or why members of the minority some people,

1249
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 1: some people, people in the minority community have vaccine hesitancy.

1250
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: What about people in the minority community, or any community

1251
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 1: for that matter, who have already been infected and have

1252
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 1: real questions about hold on, we're already talking about booster shots.

1253
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,560
Speaker 1: If I've already been infected, I have antibodies. The antibodies

1254
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 1: last at least five or six months, based on the

1255
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,759
Speaker 1: most recent something recent science, probably eight or nine, maybe forever.

1256
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:24,719
Speaker 1: They don't know. So what about that, you know, it's

1257
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,600
Speaker 1: he says, it's about it's about America's racist past. Is

1258
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,680
Speaker 1: essentially a Biden's saying. I mean, I can't tell you

1259
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,640
Speaker 1: that that isn't at least related to some of the

1260
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 1: vaccine hesitancy in the African American community. But it seems

1261
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 1: like quite as stretch. That's the that's really the thing

1262
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 1: to focus in on. But Biden's got a narrative and

1263
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 1: he's going to stick to it. He's because they want

1264
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: to go back to as soon as possible trashing the

1265
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 1: anti science Trump supporters for any vaccine hesitancy. When it

1266
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 1: was it's always been broader than that, and it's always

1267
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 1: required a more honest and good faith discussion then the

1268
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: kind of talking points the Democrats deploy. My friend John

1269
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 1: Cardillo joins us now formerly of the MYPD conservative commentator,

1270
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 1: radio host TV show guy mister Cardillo, Good to have you,

1271
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: always good to be with you, my friend. Thanks, and

1272
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 1: uh I did I just want to say, you know,

1273
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 1: today is a day of a bit of a celebration,

1274
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: but you know, you are such a consistent, insightful and

1275
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 1: trusted voice on this show and we look forward to

1276
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 1: having you doing the same on the new show as

1277
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 1: that gets going, so from from me and from all

1278
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:38,600
Speaker 1: the audience. Man, you know, Cardillo, you've been a stalwart

1279
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 1: here for us and we really appreciate you. And I

1280
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,799
Speaker 1: tweeted earlier and I mean every word of this. Nobody

1281
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 1: nobody deserved. Nobody's worked harder in radio that I've ever

1282
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:51,639
Speaker 1: come across. Forget that we're friends and deserves that show more. Buck,

1283
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 1: Really a heartfelt congratulations. You earned it, my friend. Thank

1284
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: you so much. John. So I appreciate it, and I

1285
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: want to because I got, you know, everyone listening still

1286
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 1: across the country, I want to dig into a couple

1287
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 1: of things here with you about what's what's happening, you know,

1288
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,679
Speaker 1: right now it seems to me, you know, as across

1289
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 1: the country, not with me right now, it seems to

1290
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:15,519
Speaker 1: me that you know, the Democrats are are running out

1291
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: of room here with what they've done as a result

1292
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 1: of the defund the police movement, as a result of

1293
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 1: returning to a nineteen sixties nineteen seventies mindset about crime

1294
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 1: and you. Recently, Jensaki, the White House Press secretary, said

1295
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: that there was a community violence issue, and she meant

1296
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 1: violence coming from the community, not against the community. Right,

1297
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 1: as though we're all there's a collective responsibility here. So

1298
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 1: it goes beyond even just bad policies are stupid slogans, John,

1299
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 1: as I see it, this is there's a fundamental fallacy

1300
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: now from the Democrat Party and the left about the

1301
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 1: about criminal justice and about law enforcement. Look, they won't

1302
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 1: even call crime crime. I mean, like you say, she's

1303
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 1: calling it community violence. They're sanitizing the term crime. They're

1304
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 1: sanitizing the term criminal. There's really no complex way to

1305
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 1: look at this. You know, yesterday I was sitting with

1306
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,759
Speaker 1: a district an assistant district attorney they call them assistant

1307
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 1: state attorneys here in Florida, who's also a reserved deputy,

1308
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: alongside a very close friend of mine as a criminology

1309
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 1: professor and a reserved deputy in the same agency. These

1310
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: are two guys when you think about all their experience

1311
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 1: and their police officers, one as a prosecutor, the other

1312
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 1: hold the PhD in criminology and has been a professor

1313
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 1: in the same for twenty plush years. And we were

1314
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: sitting around sort of incredulous book as to how ridiculous

1315
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: the narrative from the left is in trying to overcomplicate

1316
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 1: something very simple. More police, less crime, more armed, law

1317
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 1: abiding citizens, less crime. The Left can spend that all

1318
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 1: they want, but at the end of the day, we

1319
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:58,720
Speaker 1: all know they're lying to us. Most importantly, though, this

1320
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 1: new trend of decriminalizing minor offenses flies in the face

1321
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: of twenty years twenty years of both scientific, criminological and

1322
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 1: empirical data on broken windows policing strategies take care of

1323
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: the little stuff, arrest for the minor conditions. It solves

1324
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:21,560
Speaker 1: the big issues because you might arrest a guy in

1325
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 1: New York City for jumping a turnstile and find out

1326
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 1: you just closed two, three, four warrants for robbery, rape,

1327
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 1: potentially even homicide. When you start abandoning these proven principles,

1328
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: there's nowhere to go but down. Portland's a great example.

1329
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 1: In one year, Portland's murder rate is up. And if

1330
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 1: your audience didn't see it, yes, I'm saying this right,

1331
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,719
Speaker 1: you're not mishearing me. Their murder rate is up eight

1332
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Unbelievable and yet true. Right, I mean, this

1333
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 1: is we're seeing we're seeing numbers here, John where you

1334
01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: want to almost question how that could be possible. And

1335
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 1: then when you factor into it that there's a very

1336
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 1: clear effort from the corporate media to not talk about this.

1337
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:11,599
Speaker 1: This is we're looking at numbers in cities across the country.

1338
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:13,760
Speaker 1: We're talking about homicides and shootings that you know, the

1339
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 1: most serious crimes out there, murders. You're talking about numbers

1340
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 1: that would, in normal political times be the grounds for

1341
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 1: a police chief, a mayor to lose his or her job.

1342
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 1: And yet this is happening simultaneously all across America, and

1343
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 1: the corporate media John as we know, either doesn't cover

1344
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 1: it or they say it's because of the pandemic, which

1345
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: is just obviously a bogus rationalization. Obviously is actually the

1346
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 1: opposite of what a pandemic should do. Yeah. Absolutely, And

1347
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 1: you know, look, I could speak to the NYPD. I

1348
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 1: work there, you work there for a bit, so we

1349
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 1: both know how comstat runs, and I know you're gonna

1350
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:53,640
Speaker 1: agree with me on this. There was a time in

1351
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 1: the New York City Police Department where if the city

1352
01:16:56,439 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 1: had five, not five percent, five more murders than the

1353
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 1: month before, we're five more murders than the year before.

1354
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: The police commissioner, the first deputy commissioner, the chief, and

1355
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:11,520
Speaker 1: department chief of patrol would be standing in that Comstat

1356
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 1: meeting with all the precinct commanders, screaming at them and

1357
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: dressing them down. Now at the NYPD, it's me, let's

1358
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 1: decriminalize everything, let's not take care of anything, let's relax

1359
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 1: the COMSTAT standards. I speak to former police commissioners, I

1360
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 1: speak to former chiefs, not just of the NYPD, but

1361
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 1: of large city departments. They are both perplexed and horrified

1362
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 1: that we're seeing NYPD twenty two increase and homicides cities

1363
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:47,959
Speaker 1: like Detroit, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Saint Louis, Chicago massive increases,

1364
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:52,680
Speaker 1: double digit percentages. This is I need people that have

1365
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: never worked in law enforcement who are listening to understand

1366
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 1: this is unheard of, that this is being allowed. In

1367
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 1: the past, as you said, Buck, this would be grounds

1368
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 1: for not just sweeping political change, but the department leadership

1369
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 1: would have been gutted and leadership replaced for these numbers. Now,

1370
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: it's not only expect that it's permitted, it's a very

1371
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:17,679
Speaker 1: very dangerous trend for public safety. Speaking of John Cardillo,

1372
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:22,800
Speaker 1: former NYPD conservative commentator and has quite the fiery Twitter account. Friends,

1373
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,440
Speaker 1: if you're on Twitter, highly recommend you follow mister Cardillo.

1374
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:29,759
Speaker 1: He is, he does not. He does not pull punches

1375
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 1: on there, I can tell you that much. But if

1376
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:34,639
Speaker 1: you want to see the left get get stomped regularly

1377
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 1: on Twitter, you can follow John Cardillo there. John, If

1378
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 1: if I made you criminal justice ar or law enforcements

1379
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: are and if I made you America's top cop, which

1380
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:46,560
Speaker 1: is not even really a job, but you know what

1381
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Yeah, what would what would you do if

1382
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 1: you if you were empowered to try to turn this

1383
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 1: crime wave around in and it's it's really almost more

1384
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 1: than a wave. It's like a change in our change

1385
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 1: in our crime reality because it's been going on for

1386
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 1: now for a year, a solid year. What would it

1387
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 1: look like to get this to stop? Well, first and foremost,

1388
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:11,640
Speaker 1: I'd allow the police to use the tools in their

1389
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:13,599
Speaker 1: toolbox that are legal. And the first thing I would

1390
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: bring back end mass is stop, question and frisk. You know,

1391
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: there's a really sad narrative about that, and it's called

1392
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 1: stop and frisk, and they leave out the question. It's

1393
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:25,639
Speaker 1: a three step process that is absolutely legal. I won't

1394
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 1: get into the intricacies of why it being quote unquote

1395
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: illegal in New York is itself a legal fallacy. It's

1396
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: simply because one federal judge deemed it illegal and the

1397
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 1: Deblasio administration never challenged it. But stop questioning frisk was

1398
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 1: established as legal precedent by the United States Supreme Court

1399
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 1: in the Terry v. Ohio decision of nineteen sixty four.

1400
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:52,800
Speaker 1: Buck It's almost sixty year old Supreme Court case law.

1401
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 1: So I'd bring that back because it's effective, it works,

1402
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: and there are about three or four checks and balances

1403
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 1: on the back end of that to ensure this no abuse.

1404
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:03,680
Speaker 1: Number Two, I would bring back broken windows across the

1405
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 1: United States, taking care of the small conditions and solving

1406
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 1: the big ones. Number three, I would explain the police

1407
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 1: officers that you not only are allowed to use force,

1408
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 1: but in most instances with a violent suspect, it's the

1409
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 1: best way to protect the public and yourself. You know,

1410
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:24,640
Speaker 1: I did real quick anecdote. I did a shooting simulation

1411
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 1: yesterday alongside a current police officer, and the difference in

1412
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 1: what they're trained to do and we were trained to

1413
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 1: do and allowed to do when I was on the

1414
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 1: job as night and day, and they didn't take the

1415
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:41,719
Speaker 1: opportunity to use non lethal or lethal force in about

1416
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 1: five or six different simulator scenarios that would have been

1417
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 1: totally justified, and then not doing it resulted in an

1418
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:52,639
Speaker 1: innocent being beaten or killed every single time. I don't

1419
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: blame the cops. They were doing everything they were trained

1420
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:59,839
Speaker 1: to do and everything in line with their current department policy,

1421
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 1: and it is absolutely disastrous and deadly. We need to

1422
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:08,720
Speaker 1: bring back proactive policing, not abusive, not corrupt, proactive where

1423
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 1: the cops are out there on patrol, able to interact

1424
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 1: and stop crying. And I think if you do those

1425
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:16,680
Speaker 1: three or four very simple things like Rudy Giuliani did

1426
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 1: in ninety four, you'll see a dramatic reduction very very quickly.

1427
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:25,640
Speaker 1: And John, what of any of the bills that are

1428
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: out there, whether it's the Tim Scott's bill that was

1429
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 1: from a year ago right when BLM got going, we're

1430
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 1: now when they talk Democrats and some Republicans, we'll talk

1431
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:38,760
Speaker 1: about about police reform or police oversight. Are there things

1432
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:41,200
Speaker 1: in there that will tell me maybe, are are there

1433
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 1: things in there that actually you think would be helpful?

1434
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 1: And what are the things that are in there that

1435
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:49,720
Speaker 1: you think would be deeply unhelpful. Well, look, I think

1436
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do is neuter police. You will

1437
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 1: not find a good cop anywhere in the United States

1438
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 1: that wants to work with bad cops. You won't find

1439
01:21:57,880 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 1: a cop that wants to work with an abusive copa

1440
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 1: corrupt a cop that uses their authority. Now you take

1441
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 1: the NYPD. They're doing a lot of things wrong these days,

1442
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 1: but the one thing the NYPD did very right, going

1443
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 1: back to the Giuliani days was they beefed up internal affairs.

1444
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:16,360
Speaker 1: Internal affairs in the NYPD is its own bureau, meaning

1445
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:20,680
Speaker 1: that it's given the same weight as patrol or detectives.

1446
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 1: It has a three star chief at the top, so

1447
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 1: it's considered as important as the proactive, forward facing parts

1448
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:31,560
Speaker 1: of the NYPD. Internal Affairs gets first crack at, the

1449
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:35,880
Speaker 1: better supervisors, the better detectives, and it's resulted in the

1450
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: NYPD becoming a very clean, efficient department. That alone is

1451
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:45,720
Speaker 1: typically enough. Now you've got small agencies that don't have

1452
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: enough bodies for something like that, but they can cooperate

1453
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:52,320
Speaker 1: with their state partners. What I don't like is what

1454
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:54,600
Speaker 1: we're seeing in places like Austin, what we're seeing in

1455
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 1: some of these bills where there's funding for prosecutors to

1456
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:01,639
Speaker 1: prosecute cops because and you're telling the police they're guilty

1457
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:03,640
Speaker 1: the minute they will step out of their home in

1458
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 1: the morning, before they put on the uniform and the

1459
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:09,679
Speaker 1: gun belt. And it's demoralizing and it creates a culture

1460
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:14,679
Speaker 1: of non proactivity because, let's face it, Warren v. DC

1461
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 1: and the DC Circuit Castle Rock de Gonzalez in the

1462
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, most Americans don't know the end result of

1463
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:25,680
Speaker 1: those decisions. The police have no legal duty to protect you.

1464
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:28,760
Speaker 1: Maybe their department will fire them if they don't, but

1465
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: you can't sue them, and you can't have them prosecuted

1466
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,240
Speaker 1: if you get killed or if family member gets killed

1467
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,680
Speaker 1: because they didn't take action. And all of his vilification

1468
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:41,679
Speaker 1: of the police, we're driving them to be inactive. We're

1469
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,680
Speaker 1: driving them to stand behind those legal shields and say,

1470
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 1: you know what, well, maybe I'll get fired, but at

1471
01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: least I won't wind up indicted and in prison for

1472
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 1: fifteen years. And again, very dangerous for public safety. And

1473
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 1: John the qualified immunity point that is being made by

1474
01:23:57,040 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 1: some of these so called police reform folks that I

1475
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 1: was amazed to see. Well, I shouldn't say amazed to see,

1476
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:06,200
Speaker 1: but you know, it's disturbing to see that one of

1477
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 1: the lawyers I believe for the George Floyd family is

1478
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 1: out there saying publicly that it wouldn't even mean anything.

1479
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 1: It wouldn't even mean anything if they got rid of

1480
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 1: qualified immunity. It's no big deal. I mean, that's just

1481
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:21,760
Speaker 1: a lie, a total life. You'll bankrupt. I mean your

1482
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 1: an average police officers making mid five figures, which is

1483
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 1: and in many places small sheriff's departments, they're actually their

1484
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 1: salaries are below the US poverty line when you look

1485
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:35,080
Speaker 1: at the amount of hours they work. Sometimes the department

1486
01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 1: doesn't have money to pay over time, so it's paid

1487
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:41,439
Speaker 1: in a compiensory time. They don't have these big unions

1488
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 1: like the NYPD, Chicago PD. Qualified immunity it is a

1489
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 1: necessary tool because quite often people make bogus complaints, and

1490
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:54,200
Speaker 1: when a cop does wrong, especially in the age of

1491
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 1: cell phone and body cameras, you find out about it,

1492
01:24:57,640 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 1: they're prosecuted, they're fired. Eliminating qualified immunity means a police

1493
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 1: officer would have to defend lawsuits on their own dime

1494
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: for every person who complains, because they're upset about getting

1495
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: a ticket for a red light. It is insanity. And

1496
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:17,200
Speaker 1: not only will it make police become inactive, people are

1497
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:19,679
Speaker 1: going to quit. No one is going to go into

1498
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,040
Speaker 1: lawn for him and has a profession anymore. If that

1499
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: becomes the trend that takes hold, there's going to be

1500
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:27,920
Speaker 1: complete chaos in society. And look, why would you You'll

1501
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 1: go bankrupt your first year on the job. John Cardillo,

1502
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 1: everybody former MPITY follow him on Twitter and look for

1503
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 1: his conservative commentary on this show and others as well. John,

1504
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 1: great to have you as always, my frienale. I'll see

1505
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: you in Florida this weekend. You're will man looking forward

1506
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:46,519
Speaker 1: to it. It's going to be a good time. I

1507
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:48,360
Speaker 1: had a member a team buck right in to say

1508
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:50,640
Speaker 1: she was doing a great job and virtual teaching and

1509
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 1: that she wanted to make sure that I knew that

1510
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 1: there are a lot of great teachers across the country

1511
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 1: during this pandemic who have really stepped up. And I said,

1512
01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: totally fair point of view. I get it, and that's

1513
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 1: that's important for us all to remember. However, there are

1514
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 1: teachers who are and they're often in the you know,

1515
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 1: they're people that are representing teachers in the unions. But

1516
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:16,559
Speaker 1: there are even individual teachers who have drunk the kool aid,

1517
01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 1: so to speak, and they don't think they should have

1518
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:23,320
Speaker 1: to go in. In fact, they're they're really pushing the

1519
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 1: it's too dangerous for us line. Still, here's a guy,

1520
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 1: a high school teacher from Michigan who who is at

1521
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:35,759
Speaker 1: a school board meeting and gives a scathing resignation speech.

1522
01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:39,599
Speaker 1: His name is Sean McCarroll, basically saying it's too dangerous

1523
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 1: for me to have to go back to work, and

1524
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to die. I mean this guy, this

1525
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:46,479
Speaker 1: guy is probably younger than me, but this is there

1526
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 1: are also teachers like this. You know, we're gonna talk

1527
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:49,760
Speaker 1: about the good ones, We've got to talk about some

1528
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:52,880
Speaker 1: other teachers out there too. This mentality in the school

1529
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:57,599
Speaker 1: system is very real. Play clip nineteen. You don't respect us.

1530
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 1: If you respected us, you listen to us. You're listening

1531
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:03,879
Speaker 1: to them. They don't know what happens in our classrooms.

1532
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 1: They're not there, and neither are you. You sit up

1533
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 1: on this stage, which, by the way, I hope you

1534
01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 1: enjoy the space you have here. This does not exist

1535
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:15,439
Speaker 1: in our classrooms. And you tell us after your meetings

1536
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 1: that you so appreciate and respect us. Well, I cry.

1537
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 1: We're not angry about the situation we can't control COVID.

1538
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:24,560
Speaker 1: We're angry at you. We are angry at you, and

1539
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: angry is a nice way of putting it. You've done

1540
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:30,480
Speaker 1: more damage to our students, our district, and our profession

1541
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:32,439
Speaker 1: in the last twelve months than we've seen in the

1542
01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:35,320
Speaker 1: last decade. Keep going down this path and I'll be

1543
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,720
Speaker 1: surprised if our number one teachers even stick around. I

1544
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 1: know I'm not. I submit in my resignation to three

1545
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:41,880
Speaker 1: eighty nine last week, and I'm looking forward to doing

1546
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:44,880
Speaker 1: something that's going to be valued and appreciated, not lied

1547
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:47,600
Speaker 1: to and belittled. Yeah, this guy's basically he shouldn't have

1548
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 1: to go back in and teach. He shouldn't have to

1549
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 1: go back in and do his job. People have been

1550
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 1: working at grocery stores. I've been going to the office

1551
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:57,200
Speaker 1: for eight months now, and people have been working all

1552
01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:59,760
Speaker 1: across the country. But they want the some of these

1553
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:04,559
Speaker 1: some of these individuals, they want the the narrative, they

1554
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 1: want the label of being a first responder, but they

1555
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 1: don't want the actual responsibility. I'm sorry A front line worker,

1556
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:12,720
Speaker 1: not a first pardon me, not a first responder, a

1557
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:16,760
Speaker 1: frontline worker. And then they don't want the responsibility of

1558
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,160
Speaker 1: actually going to work on the front line, so to speak.

1559
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 1: And you know, the reality is now, folks, we've seen

1560
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:23,679
Speaker 1: this for a long time. We're all on the front

1561
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,720
Speaker 1: lines of this pandemic in one way or another. I mean,

1562
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 1: we're all out there now. If you're living your life,

1563
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 1: you know you're being exposed to COVID. Yeah, a lot

1564
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 1: of you are vaccinated. I know, some of you aren't.

1565
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: A lot of you aren't. I don't know what the

1566
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 1: numbers are. But people have made their choices and now

1567
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:39,559
Speaker 1: we're out there and we're just living our lives. We're

1568
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 1: taking risks. It's time to go back to a normal

1569
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:47,880
Speaker 1: frame of mind here. And that's why, you know, I

1570
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,080
Speaker 1: like to see things like Tennessee Governor Bill Lee telling

1571
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:53,840
Speaker 1: everybody that you know, he doesn't think the kids should

1572
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:57,880
Speaker 1: ever have to wear masks. You're darn right. Play a clip.

1573
01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:02,799
Speaker 1: Where is that one? They're looking around unsatisfied in many states,

1574
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 1: the ones that we all know about with life in

1575
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:09,200
Speaker 1: particular life in the last year, and they've been they've

1576
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 1: been looking for a long time, but suddenly the differences

1577
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:17,360
Speaker 1: between our states and those blue states are stark. You

1578
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 1: know their kids have been out of school for a year.

1579
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:24,160
Speaker 1: In Tennessee, all of the kids are in school. In fact,

1580
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 1: we have a strong school choice. They wear masks. They're

1581
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:31,240
Speaker 1: not wearing masks in a couple of districts they are.

1582
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:33,599
Speaker 1: We have a law in this state that allows districts

1583
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:36,720
Speaker 1: to make that decision. But I've said, I don't think

1584
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:38,960
Speaker 1: any kid ought to wear a mask. Why if you,

1585
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 1: no kid should be forced to wear a mask. I

1586
01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:49,000
Speaker 1: don't think there should be any There should be no

1587
01:29:49,160 --> 01:29:52,600
Speaker 1: more debate about this. There should be no more confusion

1588
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 1: about it. No kids should be forced to wear a

1589
01:29:56,560 --> 01:30:01,679
Speaker 1: mask ever, ever, and there should be laws and rules

1590
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:05,080
Speaker 1: to that effect. This is absurd. And this is another one,

1591
01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:09,600
Speaker 1: another one where our fight is not yet over, not

1592
01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:15,759
Speaker 1: even close. Friends beat no party like a Team Buck party,

1593
01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:19,960
Speaker 1: because a Team Buck party don't stop. It's time for

1594
01:30:20,160 --> 01:30:24,640
Speaker 1: roll call. It is indeed time for us to do

1595
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:29,400
Speaker 1: some roll call. First of all, Producer Mark, my right

1596
01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:32,760
Speaker 1: hand man, the guy who makes sure I actually show

1597
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 1: up for this show for work somewhat on time, and

1598
01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:38,679
Speaker 1: do my show day and day out. A big thank

1599
01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 1: you to you from me and from all of team

1600
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:44,760
Speaker 1: Buck for all your hard work, all your dedication, and

1601
01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:48,360
Speaker 1: having to be willing to put me in the penalty

1602
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:50,519
Speaker 1: box when necessary so we actually get this thing done

1603
01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:52,720
Speaker 1: on time. Well, big thank you to you, Buck for

1604
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:55,479
Speaker 1: even allowing me this opportunity in the first place to

1605
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:57,879
Speaker 1: be your producer. Get this close with you in the audience,

1606
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:01,320
Speaker 1: and congratulations you serve it. I'm gonna echo what John

1607
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:04,240
Speaker 1: Cardillo said before. There's nobody who works harder in the

1608
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:06,840
Speaker 1: radio industry and deserve this more. And I'm the one

1609
01:31:06,880 --> 01:31:10,040
Speaker 1: who saw it up close for these last two years

1610
01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:12,880
Speaker 1: or so. So I'm so proud of you, so happy

1611
01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:15,680
Speaker 1: and so happy what we accomplished as a show. To

1612
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:18,800
Speaker 1: be able to bring you to that level to fill

1613
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: in for, you know, take the shoes, I guess, I mean,

1614
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 1: nobody can fill in for Rush Limbaugh, but to take

1615
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:27,320
Speaker 1: that slot, it's just incredible and I know you've always

1616
01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:29,680
Speaker 1: dreamed of that, and I'm so happy that. Yeah, man,

1617
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 1: I really appreciated that. Thank you. What we managed to

1618
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:36,639
Speaker 1: do here is is pretty remarkable. I mean, if everyone

1619
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 1: only knew, I mean, we're putting out a show that

1620
01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:42,879
Speaker 1: is on over over two hundred stations across the country already,

1621
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:47,120
Speaker 1: and we're doing this. We're reaching people from from coast

1622
01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:51,200
Speaker 1: to coast. I mean from you know, northeastern tip of

1623
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 1: Maine down to the southwestern tip of California. I mean

1624
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:56,320
Speaker 1: we're here in people. We have we have listeners in

1625
01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:59,400
Speaker 1: Hawaii and Alaska and South Korea. We have people listen

1626
01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:03,280
Speaker 1: to podcast aston Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, people listen in the UK,

1627
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 1: listen to Canada. And it's just Mark and I connecting. Especially.

1628
01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:10,160
Speaker 1: You know, we used to have like a studio and

1629
01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:12,640
Speaker 1: all this stuff where we'd go in for iHeart, but

1630
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:15,840
Speaker 1: because the pandemic, we just set up and we had

1631
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:17,439
Speaker 1: to do it so quickly. We just set up from

1632
01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:21,639
Speaker 1: home and made it happen. We've been doing this show.

1633
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm basically doing it from like the equivalent

1634
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:26,760
Speaker 1: of my kitchen table. And Mark wheredy, I've never seen

1635
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:28,519
Speaker 1: your set up. What's what's it like for you at home?

1636
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:30,519
Speaker 1: I'm basically doing it in what you would call the

1637
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 1: dining room, next to the kitchen trash can, next to

1638
01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 1: my TV. It's a small apartment. Oh dude, I know,

1639
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:39,800
Speaker 1: I know. That's like, yeah, I know what. I know

1640
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:42,560
Speaker 1: what that situation is like. So you know, I just

1641
01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:46,040
Speaker 1: think it's it's gonna be it's gonna be exciting time here,

01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:19,960

01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:57,320
Speaker 1: to party. I just like to be near where the

1666
01:33:57,360 --> 01:33:59,960
Speaker 1: people are partying. Do you like to watch the party? Yeah, exactly.

1667
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:02,120
Speaker 1: Everyone else is gonna be dancing, having fun and all

1668
01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:04,360
Speaker 1: that stuff. I'm actually not gonna be with the snow princess.

1669
01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:08,200
Speaker 1: She's at a wedding and she very kindly did not

1670
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 1: force me to go with her to the wedding because

1671
01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:12,840
Speaker 1: I don't. It's like friends of hers and I don't

1672
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:15,759
Speaker 1: know anybody. So she said, you don't e goop with yours.

1673
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:17,759
Speaker 1: She's the best. She says, go be with your brothers,

1674
01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:21,560
Speaker 1: and I said that sounds nice. I'm very tight with

1675
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:23,479
Speaker 1: my brothers and so I haven't seen them really in

1676
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:26,479
Speaker 1: a while, certainly not both them together. So we're gonna

1677
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:30,040
Speaker 1: have We're having a straight up Miami Bros. Weekend. It's

1678
01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:32,560
Speaker 1: gonna be like Miami vice except three of us. Just

1679
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:34,519
Speaker 1: wait till there's a ring in the picture. You're not

1680
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:38,200
Speaker 1: getting out of any weddings anymore, I know, But for now,

1681
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:40,640
Speaker 1: enjoy it while you can. Exactly. I'll take the bro.

1682
01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:44,080
Speaker 1: I'll take the bro time while I can. All right,

1683
01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:46,840
Speaker 1: let's keep going here, Mark, Hey Buck, I wonder if

1684
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:50,720
Speaker 1: the mask bandit who took down the mask signs in

1685
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:54,080
Speaker 1: your gyms happens to be the person you know who

1686
01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 1: might have worn mesh masks on a plane. He seems

1687
01:34:57,880 --> 01:35:01,200
Speaker 1: like a pretty cool guy. Lol. Well, Mark, I can

1688
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:04,479
Speaker 1: tell you the guy pulling down the mask signs in

1689
01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:10,519
Speaker 1: my gym is very very close friends and allies with

1690
01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:13,040
Speaker 1: the same individual that our may or may not be

1691
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:18,599
Speaker 1: familiar with, who wears mesh masks on planes and everywhere

1692
01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:22,280
Speaker 1: else for that matter, and defies anyone to tell him

1693
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:25,280
Speaker 1: that that's not a good enough mask. It might be

1694
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:30,040
Speaker 1: even the same dude. It is possible that would be

1695
01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:34,120
Speaker 1: the same guy. So there we have it. I feel

1696
01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 1: like Mark, I'm whoever's doing this though, what a hero

1697
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:39,920
Speaker 1: to just pull down the mask signs in the gym,

1698
01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:43,040
Speaker 1: because the building where I live is too cowardly to

1699
01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:44,800
Speaker 1: do it. They don't they don't want to do it

1700
01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:47,360
Speaker 1: because they don't want residence yelling at them. But they're

1701
01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:49,600
Speaker 1: also not going to tell the non mask residents that

1702
01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:51,560
Speaker 1: they have to mask up. So we just have this

1703
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:54,600
Speaker 1: gray area and I think that's that's not good. My

1704
01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:57,880
Speaker 1: building just did it today really well. I think as

1705
01:35:57,920 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 1: a Friday whenever New Jersey officially does it. But yeah,

1706
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for Uber. They got to stop with this.

1707
01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't like car services, you know, Taxis, Uber all this.

1708
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 1: They got to get rid of this mask madness. This

1709
01:36:09,520 --> 01:36:14,519
Speaker 1: is insane. It's just insane. Anyway, good luck with that. Yeah,

1710
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:17,320
Speaker 1: I know Uber is a super lib company, so that's

1711
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:20,680
Speaker 1: going to be a real challenge. All right, Kelly k

1712
01:36:20,920 --> 01:36:24,800
Speaker 1: e l I buck you rebel. You hope your gym

1713
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:27,920
Speaker 1: workout is better now. I marched into the grocery store

1714
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 1: with no mask and wasn't confronted. I'm in California. My

1715
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:33,160
Speaker 1: son told me about you a year ago. I love

1716
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:36,719
Speaker 1: your impressions, the fouch Nancy, the maskers, living in fear.

1717
01:36:37,200 --> 01:36:39,719
Speaker 1: I'm so much more educated on what's happening with politics.

1718
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 1: Thanks well, Kelly, thank you, and I hope you'll continue

1719
01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:45,800
Speaker 1: to listen in a month when I'm hosting twelve to

1720
01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:50,120
Speaker 1: three in the slot that Rush Limbaugh built into the

1721
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:53,800
Speaker 1: biggest radio slot in America. So thank you so much

1722
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:55,760
Speaker 1: for listening, and I hope you'll come join me in

1723
01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 1: the in that adventure going forward. I think, well, and

1724
01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:02,160
Speaker 1: your son, Kelly, your son is obvious the patriot, various stute,

1725
01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:05,479
Speaker 1: and has excellent taste. So you can tell him I

1726
01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:09,599
Speaker 1: said all of that, and I so apprecie. Another another instance,

1727
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 1: another case of somebody passing the buck. And this is

1728
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:14,960
Speaker 1: how this show has grown. This is how I got

1729
01:37:15,040 --> 01:37:17,519
Speaker 1: to a point where I was even you know, in

1730
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:20,880
Speaker 1: contention to be hosting in the twelve to three slot,

1731
01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:23,760
Speaker 1: the Rush Limbos slot. This is this is how this

1732
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:26,680
Speaker 1: even came up because you listening to the show, were like, hey,

1733
01:37:27,439 --> 01:37:30,719
Speaker 1: if you like if you like conservative podcast talk radio,

1734
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 1: you should try Buck Sexton. My theory has always been

1735
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:38,000
Speaker 1: if people try this, especially now with the passing of Rush,

1736
01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:40,880
Speaker 1: the greatest radio host of all time. So now it's

1737
01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, there's the Rush isn't doing a show anymore.

1738
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:47,240
Speaker 1: And if people heard about this show, they would listen

1739
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:49,320
Speaker 1: to it. It's just getting it in front of you

1740
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:50,920
Speaker 1: because I don't you know, I don't have the same

1741
01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:53,880
Speaker 1: machinery behind you. I don't have the same you know,

1742
01:37:54,240 --> 01:37:56,920
Speaker 1: ten people working for me pushing social media stuff out

1743
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:58,080
Speaker 1: all the time and all the rest of it. It's

1744
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 1: just it's really just me and Mark. Good job, Mark. Thanks. Yeah,

1745
01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:04,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of amazing what we've acted. I mean, it

1746
01:38:04,040 --> 01:38:07,200
Speaker 1: really is amazing what we how many people were able

1747
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:09,560
Speaker 1: to reach, and how big this show has gotten with

1748
01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:12,800
Speaker 1: you and me essentially hanging out in our respective kitchen

1749
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:18,000
Speaker 1: slash living rooms doing a radio show. Yeah, and neither

1750
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:19,400
Speaker 1: of us have taken a day off in a very

1751
01:38:19,439 --> 01:38:23,639
Speaker 1: long time, and looks like that will continue. Yeah, that's

1752
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:25,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of work, a lot of work

1753
01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:27,439
Speaker 1: ahead for both of us. But that's where we're heading,

1754
01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:30,840
Speaker 1: all right. Kimberly necks up, hey Buck. Since anti Semitism

1755
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: is on the rise, I'm trying to speak out whenever

1756
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:35,880
Speaker 1: and wherever I can. Last night, I took down our

1757
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:38,559
Speaker 1: MASSUSA from outside our apartment. For those of you who

1758
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 1: don't know, a missusa is a prayer scroll in small

1759
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:44,720
Speaker 1: decorative box which Jewish people affix to all their doorways

1760
01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:46,800
Speaker 1: on the front door. It's a clear sign of the

1761
01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:48,960
Speaker 1: world that we are Jewish. With the rising wave of

1762
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:51,519
Speaker 1: anti Semitism, I no longer feel safe having our front

1763
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:54,840
Speaker 1: door Masusa visible to the world. For now I have

1764
01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:57,320
Speaker 1: at placed in a non traditional spot on the inside

1765
01:38:57,360 --> 01:39:00,240
Speaker 1: of our door. Hiding our Jewishness was how my emily

1766
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:04,040
Speaker 1: survive in times of persecution. It saddens me greatly that

1767
01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:07,679
Speaker 1: instead of benefiting from social progress, Jews feel unsafe once again,

1768
01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:11,280
Speaker 1: and history could absolutely repeat itself. What scares me most

1769
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:14,360
Speaker 1: is that the mainstream public opinion is turning average everyday

1770
01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:18,400
Speaker 1: Americans against Israel and against Jewish people. What is driving

1771
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:22,599
Speaker 1: the media to portray Israel is evil? I'm honestly not sure,

1772
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:27,240
Speaker 1: but I do know why Jewish people are not being heard.

1773
01:39:27,640 --> 01:39:30,160
Speaker 1: There are only fourteen point seven million Jewish people in

1774
01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:33,160
Speaker 1: the world today. We're being made the scapegoats once again,

1775
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:35,880
Speaker 1: and if the world doesn't pay attention, there's very little

1776
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:38,599
Speaker 1: stopping this way of anti Semitism from continuing to grow.

1777
01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:41,719
Speaker 1: Jewish people and Zionists are being blamed for the plight

1778
01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:45,240
Speaker 1: of the Palestinians since the world has turned its back

1779
01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:48,320
Speaker 1: on us. I will hide Masusa. I have no other

1780
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:50,599
Speaker 1: choice but to protect that my family as best I can.

1781
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 1: And I will pray the world will finally one day

1782
01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:55,439
Speaker 1: step up and protect the Jewish people so that my

1783
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:58,799
Speaker 1: daughter will not have to hide her Masusa. Well, Kiberly,

1784
01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm very sad to hear that you that your safety

1785
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:03,160
Speaker 1: is at that level of risk, and I can understand

1786
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:06,720
Speaker 1: why you have the concerns you do. And given the

1787
01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:11,040
Speaker 1: rise of anti Semitism precer Mark, do you do you

1788
01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:14,759
Speaker 1: have am azuza Aziza. I don't because this is an apartment,

1789
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:18,600
Speaker 1: but I definitely I'm sure my wife will want to

1790
01:40:18,600 --> 01:40:20,519
Speaker 1: put one up when we move, when we own a place.

1791
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:23,560
Speaker 1: What do you what do you think as as a

1792
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,640
Speaker 1: Jewish American? What do you think about the anti Semitism

1793
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:30,000
Speaker 1: rise these days? I mean, I think it's disgusting. Uh,

1794
01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not I have never gotten into the

1795
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:35,680
Speaker 1: Israel Palestine conflict. It doesn't even have anything to do

1796
01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:37,960
Speaker 1: with that. It has to do with you know, people

1797
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:40,280
Speaker 1: want to support the Palestinians who are being harmed, which

1798
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 1: is fine, but they're taking it out on the Jews.

1799
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:46,200
Speaker 1: As if me as an American Jew, I'm not Israeli.

1800
01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:49,160
Speaker 1: I have nothing to do with that. I'm just Jewish. Um.

1801
01:40:49,360 --> 01:40:51,439
Speaker 1: So it's very disheartening to see. I've seen a lot

1802
01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:55,680
Speaker 1: of the attacks lately in New York. All, especially in

1803
01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:57,280
Speaker 1: New York, hurts the most, just because you know, I've

1804
01:40:57,320 --> 01:40:59,679
Speaker 1: lived here my whole life, but all over the country

1805
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:02,240
Speaker 1: it's and even around the world has really been hard.

1806
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:04,439
Speaker 1: And you know, I even told my wife. My wife

1807
01:41:04,520 --> 01:41:06,800
Speaker 1: drives back from Long Island to New Jersey once a week.

1808
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:09,240
Speaker 1: Last week, I said, you're not allowed to go through

1809
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:12,559
Speaker 1: the city because it's not like, you know, we're not Orthodox,

1810
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:16,200
Speaker 1: we don't look visibly Jewish, but you never know. And

1811
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, I just never thought I would live in

1812
01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:21,240
Speaker 1: a world where that would be able to happen. So

1813
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:24,120
Speaker 1: it is definitely disheartening as a Jewish person in America. Yes,

1814
01:41:24,320 --> 01:41:26,479
Speaker 1: do you ever feel like you're Do you ever get

1815
01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:29,200
Speaker 1: a little feeling that you're unsafe as a result? Do

1816
01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:30,920
Speaker 1: you have you ever had that feeling or not? Really?

1817
01:41:32,200 --> 01:41:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean I do a little bit. But I also

1818
01:41:36,080 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 1: understand that if you look at me, you wouldn't understand,

1819
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:40,599
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know that I'm Jewish. You would just think

1820
01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm just some white guy walking around, which is fine, Yeah,

1821

Speaker 1: don't do anything like that, so I don't feel threatened.

1824
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:52,280
Speaker 1: But the fact that somebody could be for that, and

1825
01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:54,880
Speaker 1: if I ever did go to temple for something or whatever,

1826

1877
01:44:26,920 --> 01:44:29,040
Speaker 1: reached out. Life has been pretty busy with a few

1878
01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:33,400
Speaker 1: extra pokers on the fire. As always, Thanks for all

1879

Speaker 1: know that I passed the buck this weekend to my parents.

1882
01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:44,360
Speaker 1: My mother will most likely try it. My dad wants

1883
01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:46,640
Speaker 1: to just wants to ignore everything and try to live

1884
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:49,120
Speaker 1: his life. They're in their seventies and I've done their time,

1885
01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:51,360
Speaker 1: so I don't blame them. Hell, he put up with

1886
01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:54,880
Speaker 1: mys Shenanigans for twenty years under his roof. That's not

1887
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:57,840
Speaker 1: that is enough to drive anyone into retirement. I still

1888
01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:01,240
Speaker 1: listen on a regular basis, but myself becoming numb to

1889
01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:03,479
Speaker 1: the reality we live in. While I have it better

1890
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:05,840
Speaker 1: than most living in South Carolina, come to Columbia and

1891
01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:07,960
Speaker 1: I'll take into my lake house. Well, thank you so much,

1892
01:45:08,439 --> 01:45:12,320
Speaker 1: the specter of oppression on government overreach remains. I like

1893
01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:15,040
Speaker 1: you know that while things are looking closer to reality,

1894
01:45:15,120 --> 01:45:18,360
Speaker 1: the government in Democrats hands will reach for control under

1895
01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:20,640
Speaker 1: any pretense. In the future, I will say this, I

1896
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:23,280
Speaker 1: freely walked into most stores lately with no mask and

1897
01:45:23,320 --> 01:45:26,360
Speaker 1: will refuse to wear one again. I will either defy

1898
01:45:26,439 --> 01:45:28,600
Speaker 1: the orders or fine places that do not require it.

1899
01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:31,799
Speaker 1: I am done, even vaccinated. I'll refuse to show papers.

1900
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:34,760
Speaker 1: Last time I check. This is not communist China yet.

1901
01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:37,479
Speaker 1: It's time for all Americans to realize the tragedy of

1902
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:42,599
Speaker 1: our complacity in the past year and grows some backbone. Russ,

1903
01:45:43,240 --> 01:45:45,960
Speaker 1: thanks so much for writing in, And I think Russ

1904
01:45:46,040 --> 01:45:47,439
Speaker 1: just sort of said it well. I don't think I

1905
01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:49,800
Speaker 1: have much to add there other than you know, man,

1906
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:55,960
Speaker 1: just find those find those little moments of tranquility, joy, peace,

1907
01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, find those places in your day to day

1908
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:01,760
Speaker 1: there alone or with your family, with the people that

1909
01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:05,120
Speaker 1: matter the most to you. Just keep your focus on

1910
01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:06,719
Speaker 1: that when you start to feel like things are getting

1911
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:09,960
Speaker 1: to be too much. TJ. Bucks. Something I've been thinking

1912
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:13,519
Speaker 1: about lately is the lack of masculinity in our culture

1913
01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:16,400
Speaker 1: in the US, and how some of our biggest adversaries

1914
01:46:16,439 --> 01:46:20,240
Speaker 1: like China and Russia are now fully embracing masculinity, especially

1915
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:22,960
Speaker 1: within their military ranks. I was wondering, though, do you

1916
01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:25,000
Speaker 1: have any thoughts on how those countries may have a

1917
01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:29,160
Speaker 1: perverse view of masculinity compared to our ideal view of

1918
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 1: masculinity here in the US, despite the current politicization and

1919
01:46:32,400 --> 01:46:34,479
Speaker 1: feminization of our military. I have my own thoughts, but

1920
01:46:34,520 --> 01:46:39,120
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear what you've got to say, you know, TJ.

1921
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:41,080
Speaker 1: I would want some of Team Buck that are actually

1922
01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:43,439
Speaker 1: in military. You know that our current or former military

1923
01:46:43,479 --> 01:46:46,560
Speaker 1: away in on this one. And I do think that

1924
01:46:46,680 --> 01:46:49,680
Speaker 1: masculinity in general is under assault in America. But how

1925
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:51,880
Speaker 1: that's playing out in the armed forces, I would leave

1926
01:46:51,920 --> 01:46:54,640
Speaker 1: that to other people that have a closer view of it,

1927
01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:56,840
Speaker 1: be honest with you, and have much more of an

1928
01:46:56,880 --> 01:46:59,840
Speaker 1: understanding of that. So for today, I'm gonna leave it there, folks.

1929
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:02,800
Speaker 1: Big day today in the Freedom Hut. Tell folks about

1930
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:05,599
Speaker 1: the show. Joined the Team Buck team because he's getting

1931
01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:07,120
Speaker 1: bigger all the time. Shields high,
