1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts, the news you need to 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart app, befoor wherever you get 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: your podcasts. They told you that good old, blue collar 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: Joe is gonna be just a normal, everyday guy, one 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: of the folks. He was gonna come back and run 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: this presidency the way that you'd expect a sappy nineties 8 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: movie about a president to do right. Just a guy 9 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: who rolls up his sleeves, loves baseball, apple pie, and 10 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: good old fashioned American hard work. But then you actually 11 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: see what's happening in the country and you say, a 12 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: whold on a second, this is not This is not 13 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: what we were promised. This is novel. We were told, 14 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: and some of us were predicting this all along, that 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was, of course the trojan horse. He was 16 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: the guy that the Democrats could convince enough voters in 17 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: enough states. Oh he's not like the rest of all 18 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: of those Democrats. He's not a left wing loon, you know. 19 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: He's just a guy who's been around a long time, 20 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: and he'll make sure that the country is nice and 21 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: calm and everything goes just fine, total nonsense. We've already 22 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: had a Texas judge halt Biden's executive order stopping deportations 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: for one hundred days, and he cited the law that 24 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: restrained Trump Right Administrative Procedures Act. You can't just make 25 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,279 Speaker 1: this huge shift in federal policy turning on a dime. 26 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, what's good for the goose is good for 27 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: the gander or the Biden, as the case may be. 28 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: Turns out that the hashtag resistance judiciary against Trump sets 29 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: some precedence, some very useful ones that are currently being 30 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: applied against the Democrat president. So there will be howls 31 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: of indignation, but this is the system we have. This 32 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: is what we've got. So Joe Biden coming in and 33 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: acting like there's no need for Congress or legislation on 34 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: these issues, that's not going to fly right away. And 35 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: if it makes its way up to the Supreme Court, 36 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: we got a pretty good shot, a pretty good shot 37 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: in making sure that it doesn't go forward. Beyond that, 38 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: I can't give you any guarantees. John Roberts is basically 39 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: a liberal, Thank you, George W. Bush. Roberts is effectively 40 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: a liberal on the Supreme Court. Is a Chief Justice, 41 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: and he is someone who cannot be trusted on principle, 42 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: on morality or on constitutionality. But I do think that 43 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: Amy Coney Barrett is sound, and I think that Kavanaugh 44 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: will probably apply the law even if it upsets the 45 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: New York Times editorial page. Yeah, we're all seeing who 46 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden really is. What has been done in this 47 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: first week of the Biden presidency? Here we are, it 48 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: has been a week. What has happened, Well, we've seen 49 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: a whole slew of executive orders, far more than any 50 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 1: other presidency at this point, meant to effectively replace the 51 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: legislative prerogative of Congress with the unitary executive right, the 52 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: one and only he is the guy. Big changes on 53 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: immigration enforcement, changes like the Paris Climate Accord, the executive 54 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: order on transgender protections, which is allowing now transgender male 55 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: athlete to compete against women. That's a real big focus 56 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: for the Democrats. They know that's critical all across the 57 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: American heartland. That really keeps people up late at night 58 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: that there have not been enough transgender males who have 59 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: been able to compete in women's sports. That's just something 60 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: that's very important to Democrats, and now we have this 61 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: vendetta against the fossil fuel industry playing out. Federal agencies 62 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: are going to stop all fossil fuel subsidies and also 63 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: they're going to put a halt to drilling on federal land. 64 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: I want to ask you something, How different would this 65 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: presidency be if you had had a president Bernie Sanders? 66 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: I mean, really think about that. How different would this 67 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: presidency be so far if you had had a president 68 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: God forbid, Acasio Cortez. The answer is not very different 69 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: at all. In fact, I think the executive orders that 70 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: you've seen so far are largely in line with what 71 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: you would have expected from an even more radical left president. 72 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: You know, you would have expected this from somebody else 73 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: along the way. And now when you start to dig 74 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: into not only the orders but the tone of this administration, 75 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they're pushing forward with this impeachment knowing that 76 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: it it's not going to actually have the desired effect 77 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: of banning Trump from future office. It's not going to happen. 78 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: They already held a vote, a procedural vote, thank you, 79 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: Rand Paul, in which forty five senators. So this is 80 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: just on constitutional. This whole thing is ridiculous, the joke 81 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: forty five. So they're not going to get to the 82 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: two thirds majority that if the process is constitutional, the 83 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: forty five, you're not getting to a two thirds majority 84 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: to convict. It's not going to happen. So then what 85 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: the heck are we doing? The country is still suffering 86 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: through a pandemic. But you know, some of this I 87 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: believe is a distraction technique as well. Sure there's the 88 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: ideological imperative that the left has to get this stuff 89 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: done right away, right off the bat, to inundate this system, 90 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: to flood the zone with all the left wing goodies 91 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: they possibly can. I get that, But anybody who's seeing 92 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: how this Biden administration actually functions with the COVID bonds, 93 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: for example, with the vaccination programs, realizes, so we were 94 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: sold the bill of goods. We being the American people. 95 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: They don't know what they're doing. They're not better at this, 96 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: they don't have some secret plan. They're not owe so 97 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: much smarter than people who were in these jobs before them. 98 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: That was just all pr marketing lies. Essentially, it just 99 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: wasn't true. They've had to scramble to make it seem 100 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: like their plan wasn't going to be just a continuation 101 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: of the Trump plan that they also told us, in 102 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: a just act of absolute dishonesty and hubris, that they 103 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: had to start from scratch. So they lied about the 104 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: previous plan. They overpromised on their plan. And now we 105 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: see we've got we've got clowns in charge. Now you've 106 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: got people clean and soaky and Biden and Harris. People 107 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: don't know anything. They're not great administrators. They're on some 108 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: vision for the country. The only thing that they really 109 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: know they want to get done is whatever the Democrat 110 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: apparatus tells them to do, and whatever the left wing 111 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: activist base demands. Everything else can wait. Everything else is secondary. 112 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: Your business, your livelihood, your safety of you and your family. 113 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: COVID vaccinations are supposed to be protecting all of us. 114 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: The Biden administration comes in like a bunch of bumbling buffoons. 115 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: They're not making the situation better. But even when you 116 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: listen to the rhetoric, when you hear some of what 117 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is saying out there, how different is it 118 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: really from what you would expect from even the most 119 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: far left wing members of the United States Congress. Here 120 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: he is talking about how, And it's one of one 121 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: of the favorite things that democrats and the left like 122 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: to do. One of their favorite routines is to bash 123 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: America to show how much they care about America. And 124 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: ultimately it's about they think they're better than this country 125 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: and they have to radically transform it to live up 126 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: to their lofty ideals. But they do like to trash 127 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: our past. They like to trash what we've been, what 128 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: got us to this point as the wealthiest, most prosperous 129 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: nation of the world. And you hear this even in 130 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's commentary here he is what he's talking about, 131 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: how we don't live up to our principles Play six. 132 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: We have never fully lived up to the founding principles 133 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: of this Nation's the state the obvious that all people 134 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: are created equal and have a right to be treated 135 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: equally throughout their lives. And it's time to act now, 136 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: not only because it's the right thing to do, but 137 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: because if we do, we'll all be better off for it. 138 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: For too long, we've allowed a narrow, cramped view of 139 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: the promise of this nation to fester. You know, we've 140 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: bought the views that America is a zero sum game. 141 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: In many cases, if you succeed, I fail. If you 142 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: get ahead, I fall behind. If you get the job, 143 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 1: I lose mine. Maybe worst of all, if I hold 144 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: you down, I lift myself up. This is the warmed 145 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: over cultural Marxism that we all should have expected from 146 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Now I know it's Oh, that seems harsh. No, 147 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: it's really not listening to what he's saying. America's a 148 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: zero sum game. If I hold you down, I raise 149 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: myself up. Is that really an accurate description of what's 150 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: going on in this country? The explosion of wealth that 151 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: has occurred in America over the last hundred years for everyone. 152 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: I know the Left doesn't like to talk about this, 153 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: but a person today who is living let's say, just 154 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: at the poverty line, compared to what a person in 155 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: America who was doing quite well for the time in 156 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: terms of their actual wealth and access and living standards 157 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: from one hundred years ago, it's not even close. We 158 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: are much wealthier and more prosperous as a society. But 159 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: envy is powerful politics and creating this perception that the 160 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: only thing that's holding some people back is the other 161 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: people in America who are oppressing them. That's very powerful 162 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: as well for Democrats. It's in fact central to their 163 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: overall governing philosophy because now you're going to hear a 164 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: lot more about equity. You're gonna hear a lot more 165 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: about the same outcomes, not the same opportunities, not the 166 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: same rules, not the same playing field, the same outcome 167 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: for individuals as a historical balancing HM, who's really going 168 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: to be in charge of that? You're also going to 169 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: see a return of the more brazen intersectionality discourse. Right. Remember, 170 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: intersectionality is just a fancy way of the left saying 171 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: that society is all just warring factions, identity groups, tribes 172 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: of sorts. That's what society really is, gender, political race, 173 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: you name it. Society is all about these different groups 174 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: that are that are going after each other, trying to 175 00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: oppress each other. This is what intersectionality says. And the 176 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: government's role is to decide who's doing too well and 177 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: who's not and to start to balance that out. You 178 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: want to talk about zero sum game. The Democrat worldview 179 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: is a zero sum game. The Democrat view of their 180 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: fellow Americans is exactly that if some people are doing 181 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: too well, the answer is not to allow others to 182 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: do well too. It's to bring down those who are succeeding. 183 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: You're going to see a lot of this, although they're 184 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: not going to bring down the billionaires because they're already 185 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: well beyond the reach of government. They're already more powerful 186 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: than the government in many cases. You talked about the 187 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley barons and Amazon dot Com. No, they're going 188 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: to pull down people who are just beginning, are just 189 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: beginning to enjoy the fruits of their labors. They're going 190 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: to pull down the successful small businessman who maybe has 191 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: been able to weather the pandemic so far, the lockdowns, 192 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: everything else, but now needs to pay even more in taxes, 193 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: even higher wages. They're going to pull down people that 194 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: have been saving and saving and looking to buy that dream. 195 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: How sorry, you got to pay more, pay your fair share. 196 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: Remember that Biden is a product of the Obama administration. 197 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: You have to you have to keep that in mind. 198 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: This is Omamaism two point zero. The only difference here 199 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:24,359 Speaker 1: is that Joe Biden came along promising unity, normalcy, and decency, 200 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,239 Speaker 1: and what we're going to get is leftism, government overreach, 201 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: and freedom under assault. That's the expectation we should all 202 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: have for the next four years. This is the Buck 203 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. 204 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: What many Americans didn't see her had simply refused to see, 205 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: couldn't be ignored any longer. Those eight minutes and forty 206 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: six seconds that took George Floyd's life opened the eyes 207 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: of millions of Americans and millions of people around all 208 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: over the world. It was the knee on the neck 209 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: of justice, and it wouldn't be forgotten. It stirred the 210 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: conscious and of tens of millions of Americans, and in 211 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: my view, it marked a turning point in this country's 212 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: attitude towards racial justice. A turning point in our attitude 213 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: toward racial justice, he says of the George Floyd death 214 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. This could be a speech given by any 215 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: member of the Democrat Party, including the most radical leftist 216 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: with the Democrat Party. And this is coming from the 217 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: President of the United States. Let's recall that one thing 218 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: we were not allowed to see was the previous eight 219 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: to ten minutes or so a video before the incident. 220 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: We were showed a tape that was edited and without 221 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: knowing the full context, you were unable to come to 222 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: a clear conclusion about whether there was excessive force used 223 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: in the incident. When someone is saying I can't breathe 224 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: and you have your knee on them, it's understandable that 225 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: you would immediately want to pull your knee off that person. 226 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: But if someone has been saying they can't breathe for 227 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: twenty minutes, including when you're walking them around and not 228 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: putting any pressure on them, that would change your calculation. 229 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: This is just a fact. But we didn't see the 230 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: full video. We didn't see the full video, and we 231 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: also haven't been able to get clear answers on the 232 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: from the corner on the toxicology report as to whether 233 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: he died of a fanatal overdose. This is also something 234 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: that is being It is going through the courts right now. 235 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: That officer has been charged. He's been charged with murder, 236 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: and this is playing out in the courts as I 237 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: speak to you. But what exactly did we learn about 238 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: racial justice from that incident? I'm curious what does Joe 239 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: Biden think the answer is, because there are incidents involving 240 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: law enforcement with people of all races where there sometimes 241 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: can be a questionable use of force. What did we 242 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: learn from it. Well, one thing that happened as a 243 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: result of it is that there was a police station 244 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: and burned down in Minnesota in Minneapolis, that there were 245 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: riots all across the country, that people who had nothing 246 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: to do with George Floyd, who have never done a 247 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: racist thing in their lives, had to lose their businesses, 248 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: had had their stores ransacked, had to be terrified walking 249 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: down their own streets because a mob demanding racial justice 250 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: thought that they had a right to do it. And 251 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: people suffered, and the whole country suffered, and it is shameful. 252 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: It is shameful that there were not greater consequences in 253 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: the election for the party that was backing all of this. 254 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: But the demagoguery and the narratives and the lies were powerful, 255 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: and it was all about defeating Trump. Nothing else mattered. Right, 256 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: The pandemic was Trump's fault. People are saying that the 257 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: Netherlands is coming apart at the seams right now. They've 258 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: got huge violent protests in the streets over lockdowns. But 259 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: COVID was all Trump's fault. There were media groups, media 260 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: outlets that were running with that for months. People would say, 261 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: President Trump, they would put people on TV. President Trump 262 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: is personally responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths from COVID. 263 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: You go back and see it August, September, October twenty twenty. 264 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: They were saying that all the time it was all 265 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: Trump's fault. This was a lie. These people are liars. 266 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I see. I sit here and tell 267 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: you the President was wrong when he went too far 268 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: with the election results and what he could prove. I'll 269 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: tell you that because I'm honest. Because now we know 270 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: now there is no cracking, There was no you know, 271 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: we understand. We know now now. That doesn't mean there 272 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: wasn't fraud. Don't misunderstand me. It's just we couldn't get 273 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: to a place where we could prove the degree of fraud, 274 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: or weren't able to present the proof of the fraud 275 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: in court. But that's how the system works. The Democrats 276 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: never go back and say, yeah, we were wrong about 277 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, we probably shouldn't have encouraged mobs and 278 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: riding all across the country for the whole summer. Yeah. 279 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: Blaming Trump for hundreds of thousands of COVID deaths is absurd, disingenuous, 280 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: and really evil. But you know, he had to do 281 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: what we had to do to win. They'll never say that. 282 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: They just move on to the next one, move on 283 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: to the next target. It's despicable what's going on this administration. 284 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: These aren't These aren't good ethical people. Joe Biden, don't 285 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: be fooled. He's not some good, warm and fuzzy guy 286 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 1: you can count on. Look at what he's been doing 287 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,239 Speaker 1: since he's in office. He doesn't have to sign all 288 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,719 Speaker 1: these executive orders, he doesn't have to attack the fossil 289 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: fuel in history like some giant, hypocritical fraud. But that's 290 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: what he's doing because this is who democrats are. Whatever 291 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: it takes for power, they're so certain that they're the 292 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: ones that need to be in charge. At how they 293 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: get there, it simply doesn't matter. As long as they 294 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 1: beat you and me. Everything is justified to this. You're 295 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: listening to the Buck Sexton Shoe podcast. Make sure you 296 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: subscribe to the pie cast on the iHeart Radio app 297 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Look in the weeks ahead, 298 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: I'll be reaffirming the federal government's commitment to diversity, equity, 299 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: and inclusion and accessibility, building on the work we started 300 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: in the Obama Biden administration. That's why I'm sending the 301 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: previous administration's harmful ban on diversity and sensitivity training and 302 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: abolish the offensive counterfactual seventeen seventy six Commission Unity and 303 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: Healing must begin with understanding and truth, not ignorance and lies. Today, 304 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: I'm also issued in an executive order that will ultimately 305 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: end the Justice Department's use of private prisoners. Private prisons 306 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: an industry that houses pretail detrainees and detainees and federal prisoners. 307 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: The executive order directs the Attorney General to decline to 308 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: renew contracts with privately operated criminal facilities, a step we 309 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: started to take at the end of the Obama administration. 310 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: There's so much going on here, and it's it's even 311 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: it's hard to keep it straight in my own mind 312 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: as I talk to you, because my head is exploding. 313 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: Let's start with this. What do you want to bet 314 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: Joe Biden hasn't even read the seventeen seventy six Commission report. Well, 315 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: what would you want to bet? At this point, I'm 316 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: just wondering. I would bet a large sum of money 317 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden hasn't even hasn't even read the executive 318 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: summary hasn't read the first page, whether horror or harmful 319 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: or harmful and real, counterfactual or murder. This is what 320 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: you get at the Trojan horse presidency. Here it is, 321 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: there's your horse seed, Joe Biden trotting it out in 322 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: front of the gate and the American people, at least, unfortunately, 323 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,479 Speaker 1: you know, fifty one or fifty two percent of us 324 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: or whatever it was, said, Yeah, bring that horse inside 325 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: the gates. Didn't work out well for the Trojans, did it. 326 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: This is what we got now. Oh yeah, he's he's 327 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: such a moderate as he's sitting here spewing the usual 328 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: left wing talking points about diversity and inclusion and equity. 329 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: What does that mean? Does it mean the racial entitlement 330 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: state expands? Because he should just be honest about that. 331 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: Does he mean that now affirmative action, which was just 332 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: on the precipice of being ruled unconstitutional the next time 333 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court looks at it, it's getting there. It 334 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: already had Sander Day O'Connor in a decision years ago. Right, 335 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,959 Speaker 1: you know, we got to phase this out in like 336 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty years because it's really not constitutional. But 337 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: we like it for right now, so we'll kind of 338 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: just go with it. They know it's in trouble, but 339 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: what do they do. They go in the opposite direction. 340 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: They're going to use the whole force of the state, now, 341 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: all the different powers that the executive branch holds, to 342 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: push this even further. And this is a violation. They 343 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: think they're upholding the most basic standards of America and 344 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: all of this, but they're actually violating things like the 345 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: equal Protection Clause, equality under the law, hiring people, advancing people, 346 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: punishing people. Do any of those things based on skin 347 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: color or general identity or preference. Giving people benefits or 348 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: punishments based upon those things is immoral. It's wrong. You know, 349 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to spend some time here on this 350 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: show talking about political philosophy. We're gonna have to reformulate 351 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: some of the arguments of the past to fit the present, 352 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: because right now we are up against it. With his 353 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: Biden presidency, he is going to push for eighty percent 354 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: of what a Bernie Sanders presidency would have on social issues, 355 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: on cultural issues, and even increasingly you'll see on many 356 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: economic issues. Although the difference with Biden and the reason 357 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: he won and I mean that the actual reason he 358 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: won is that the big tech corporations and the Fortune 359 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: one hundred companies run by now lib activists who have 360 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: taken over institutions in many cases if they didn't found them, 361 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: that are devoted to social justice. They're all on board 362 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: for Biden because they're gonna stay rich and powerful. Amazon's 363 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: gonna be fine no matter what the tax rate is, 364 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, it doesn't they don't really care, and they've 365 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: got armies of attorneys to fight anything that comes up anyway. 366 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: So Amazon is above the government fray, they don't have 367 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 1: to worry about that. It's you, it's me. It's the 368 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: people who are trying to have freedom, autonomy and build 369 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: a better life for ourselves, for our children, for future generations. 370 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: We're the ones that are gonna have to carry this 371 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: yoke put on our shoulders by the Biden administration of 372 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: excessive government regulation. And now what you're seeing is the 373 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: cultural Marxism really coming out. You know they're gonna be 374 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: They're gonna be applying critical race theory to public policy 375 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: on all issues. And look at this, the Biden administration 376 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: would is only possible, Joe Biden only one because he 377 00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,239 Speaker 1: could count on minority voters. And that's even during the primary. Right, 378 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: you go back and look at this, it was it 379 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: was it was minority Democrat voters who pushed Joe Biden 380 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: to the front of the line among other Democrats. And 381 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: now Joe Biden's giving payback. He's going to be expanding 382 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: all these directives and orders. And this is it's fundamentally wrong. 383 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: They can sit around and talk about the history or 384 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: how there's been discrimination in the past and all that, 385 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: and that is true. And they can talk about how 386 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: there's inequality today and that is true. But it is 387 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: not the government's job, nor is it possible to create 388 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: a perfect equality among human beings, and attempts to do 389 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: so only exacerbate inequality and undermine the law in the process, 390 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: and undermine the foundational ideals of our law, that where 391 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: all human beings were equal in dignity and worth and 392 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: merit in the eyes of the law and in the 393 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: eyes of God. That doesn't mean that we all end 394 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: up with the same stuff. That doesn't mean that we 395 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: all get to have the same jobs or or achieve 396 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: the same level. And that's the most obvious statement in 397 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: the world. But Democrats use it, they exacerbate it. They 398 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: they twist the knife a little bit more. Oh, you're 399 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: being held down by other people. I'm I'm just gonna 400 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: say this. You know, you have you have these concepts 401 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: that are making their way through the culture all over 402 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: the place. You know, even with things like the body 403 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: positivity movement, A body positivity movement, no that they they'll 404 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: tell people who are and I'm not talking about luck. 405 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you know I got a few extra LB's 406 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: on me. I mean, you know, nobody's perfect, right, that's 407 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: that's just being a person who loves himself and understands 408 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: you know you're not. But I'm talking about whaten it 409 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: gets to be a real health issue. And you know, 410 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: I have my insecurities. I know a lot of people listening. 411 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know men and women. You know, guys 412 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: never talk about their physical insecurities. But you know everybody's 413 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: got their their sore points or things they wish would 414 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 1: we're a little bit different about them, you know, a 415 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: little taller, a little a little stronger, a little skinnier, 416 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. But the body positivity movement is 417 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: is just a symptom of this broader mindset. It tells 418 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: you even if you are dangerously overweight for your health. 419 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: The problem is not that you have a health problem, 420 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: it's that society doesn't celebrate that. And you see this 421 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: and then that same mentality just all You're gonna see 422 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: this all throughout the Biden administration with everything. Why are 423 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: people poor? Why are some areas suffering from high crime? Yeah, 424 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: there are systemic failures that we could talk about, but 425 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: let's actually talk about them. Let's actually look at what's 426 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: Why aren't public schools working? Why do some neighborhoods have 427 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: higher crime? Did you say, well, there are some areas 428 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: that have more problems and there are other places that don't. 429 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: So let's just engage in a whole bunch of government 430 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: tinkering without actually addressing what's going on, what's happening. It's 431 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: not gonna make anything better. Right. You can put people 432 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: on the cover of magazines who are dangerously I don't 433 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: want to be clear. This is not an esthetic thing. 434 00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: This is a health thing, dangerously overweight, and as that 435 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: somehow the problem is that society isn't celebrating this. You 436 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: can tell people that, but we all know it's not true. 437 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: But what it does is it tell some people it's 438 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: not your fault, don't take personal agency, don't be in 439 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: charge of your own destiny. It's other. Remember it's not 440 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: even sympathy. Sympathy is fine. Sympathy for all kind, Sympathy 441 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: for people that are struggling with addiction, that are in 442 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 1: high crime neighborhoods that have come from broken family. Sympathy 443 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: is a basic human necessity. You must be loving and 444 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: supportive and kind to your family, human beings, or else 445 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: what are you even doing here? But I'm talking about 446 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: individual agency and responsibility. I'm talking about how we help 447 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: empower people in our own communities and all across the 448 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: country to live better, healthier, happier lives. And a first 449 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: step in that is to convince everybody that it is 450 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: in your control and there are not external forces that 451 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 1: are all the cause of your frustrations and drawbacks and 452 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: issues on an individual or community level. It is in 453 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: fact in your hands to make positive change in your 454 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: own life. I know this sounds a little bit like 455 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: I'm doing a version of a self help radio show 456 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: or something. You know, pay for everything in cash, don't 457 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: ever use credit cards. You know I could do that 458 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: for you too, you know, don't run up debt, payoff debt. 459 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: I can do one of those shows. I trust me, 460 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: I get all that stuff. But this is more important 461 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: for us overall. I mean, I think it's necessary to 462 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: understand that the way the Democrats, the way the left 463 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: approaches everything is from a flawed understanding of human basics 464 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: and essentials, of the way that individuals need to be 465 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: making their own decisions and feeling agency and feeling responsibility 466 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 1: for them. And be honest with yourself. One of the 467 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: most important things. If I could go back in time 468 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: and change one part of my mind mindset in my 469 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: twenties and in and into my early thirties, even I 470 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: would say, it would be hold yourself accountable and self correct. Now, 471 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean beat yourself up. It doesn't mean, you know, 472 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: be overly harsh. It means what is true about what's 473 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: going on? Am I a good you know, son, brother? 474 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: Am I a good employee? Am I a good in 475 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: my case you know boyfriend? Am I a good friend? 476 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: To people? That's just shoubulate account of me and really 477 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: think about these things. You know, Am I as healthy 478 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: as I should be? A am I as productive as 479 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: I should be? And this you're getting now to the center, 480 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: to the essence of what it is to have a 481 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: conservative mindset at America today, because ultimately it is on 482 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: each of us as individuals. The collective, which is what 483 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: Biden and the left are offering up now, is we 484 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: will be in charge, and we will treat you as 485 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: a member of a group, and then it will all 486 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: be Everything that we're doing is based upon what group 487 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: you fall into, and in the aggregate, some of you 488 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: will be better off, others of you won't. But we 489 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: decide what's fair and what's not. How far is that 490 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: relief from the mentality of the politboro in the Soviet Union. Now, 491 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Biden has Soviet level powers and we're 492 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: not all going to gulags. I'm not crazy. But if 493 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: you're looking at the underlying mentality we talk about things 494 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:21,239 Speaker 1: like cultural Marxism, me talk about collectivism. They're looking at 495 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: people as members of groups. They're not treating them as individuals. 496 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: There are consequences that come with that. There's an undermining 497 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: of the rule of law. Their belief, of their belief 498 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: in fairness is that there are people who are so 499 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: above the rest of us in their conception of what 500 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: is necessary for society to be fair, that they should 501 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: just have the right to make those decisions and balance 502 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: it out as they see fit. Do you trust any 503 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: human being with that kind of power. The Biden administration 504 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: is going to be pushing this. This will be central 505 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: because this has been a major project of the cultural 506 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: and political left in America for the last sixty years 507 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: to create a country where we are no longer individuals, 508 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: we are part of a collective, where socialism is no 509 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: longer a dirty word, and where lectures about diversity and 510 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: inclusion and all these very amorphous and constantly shifting concepts 511 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: are out there and we're never really able to pin 512 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: down what do you what what does this mean, and 513 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: how does this apply? And what are the underlying principles. 514 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: It's just diversity and inclusion. Lots of flowery language about this, 515 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: and then it's well, we're going to only give money 516 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: from the federal government to certain groups. We're going to 517 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: prioritize certain minority groups for the vaccine. Remember that discussion 518 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: in the New York Times. Democrats were trying that for 519 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: a little bit and then it faded away. That was 520 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: a little too egregious. But Biden said in a recent speech. 521 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: They're going to focus their federal relief efforts for COVID 522 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: on minorities and communities of color, as if this isn't 523 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: just an America problem where lots of people, including minorities 524 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: and communities of color, of course, are suffering terribly, and 525 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: they're suffering because morons like Biden told them that the 526 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: government would make it all better. I think there's a 527 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: lesson there. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow 528 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. But you know we've 529 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: all seen, of course, the transmission. It's just not happening. 530 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: I mean, in Chicago, the teachers union voted this weekend 531 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: to continue remote learning. They were about to open town 532 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: of Montclair, New Jersey. This story came across public schools 533 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: were scheduled to reopen for hybrid learning for elementary school kids. 534 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: It would be a first day of going to school 535 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: in person since March of last year, ten months, but 536 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: then they scraped plans at the last minute after the 537 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: local teachers union refused to return to classrooms. Brown, why 538 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: do you think that the unions in many cases are 539 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: overruling what the studies show. I don't think unions are 540 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: over ruling studies. I think what you're seeing as schools 541 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: that haven't made the investments to keep the students safe. 542 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: I mean again, the Wisconsin city were classrooms of twelve 543 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: on average, So that requires a lot more classrooms, a 544 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: lot more teachers, or you know, other kinds of arrangements 545 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: to get them small potting students very carefully. So we 546 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: need to do the things to open safely. Most of 547 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: the teachers I talk to they want to be back 548 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: in the classroom that they just want to know that 549 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: it's safe, and we as a country should make the 550 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: investments to make it safe. It's safe, it has always 551 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: been safe. The data has always shown that it is safe. 552 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: But the teachers unions run the Democrat Party effectively, so 553 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: Biden's chief of staff won't cross them. It's very clear 554 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: there was a choice here to side with millions of 555 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: children across the country who have been denied the right 556 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: to learn, to grow, to develop, to be with their peers, 557 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: to escape the psychological prisons they are put in by 558 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: being denied those normal lives, or to side with the 559 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: teachers unions that at the end of the day want 560 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: more investments, which is a code word for money from 561 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: the taxpayer for whatever the heck they want to spend 562 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: it on. Now they're saying filtration systems for the air 563 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: or some nonsense, really, so that the teachers unions members 564 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: can zoom from their couch and order Uber eats while 565 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: they're quote teaching. That's what's really going on here. We 566 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: all see it, we all know it. This is your 567 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: new Biden administration, same as the old Obama administration, isn't 568 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: it very similar approach to everything? And Biden is, as 569 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: I've pointed out, a product of that administration. So why 570 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: should this be in the least bit surprising. Yeah, teachers 571 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: unions get what they want. Kids get left out in 572 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: the cold, or in this case, left at home to 573 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: be miserable and its cases near suicidal because they've had 574 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: almost a year now of being stuck with stressed out 575 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: parents who don't who aren't able to, you know, make 576 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: this better for them. There's no social interaction for these kids. 577 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: They at a critical stage of development and it's being 578 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: stripped from them by lazy, cowardly, self indulgent adults who 579 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: make bad policy decisions and then double down on it afterwards. 580 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: That's what you're seeing here. The schools never should have closed. 581 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: The fact that we're still even having a conversation about this, 582 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 1: and that the Biden White House is backing this up 583 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: just shows you how corrupt, disingenuous, and grotesque the Democrat 584 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: Party is. When they say it's about the children, what 585 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: they mean is it's about the adults who pretend it's 586 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 1: about the children, and they just hope they can fool 587 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: enough Americans so there are no political consequences for this. 588 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: The schools should be open. They should have been opened 589 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: all along. We all know it, but not to Biden 590 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,919 Speaker 1: White House, not Chief of sta Ron Klain. No, it's 591 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: about investments. You see, more of your money for the teachers' unions. 592 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show Podcast.

He may read it on the show. 595 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: If we are about to try to impeach a president, 596 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: where is the chief justice? If the accused is no 597 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: longer president, where is the constitutional power to impeach him? 598 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: Private citizens don't get impeached. Impeachment is for removal from office, 599 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: and the accused here has already left office. Hyperpartisan Democrats 600 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 1: are about to drag our great country down into the 601 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: gutter of rancor and vitriol, the likes of which has 602 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: never been seen in our nation's history. Instead of doing 603 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: the nation's work with their new majorities in the House, 604 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: the Senate, and the executive branch, Democrats are wasting the 605 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: nation's time on a partisan DTA against a man no 606 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: longer in office. It's almost as if they have no 607 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: ability to exist except in opposition to Donald Trump. Without 608 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: him as their boogeyman, they might have to legislate and 609 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: to actually convince Americans that their policy prescriptions are the 610 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,760 Speaker 1: right one. Democrats are about to do something no self 611 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 1: respecting senator has ever stooped to. Democrats are insisting the 612 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: election is actually not over, and so they insist on 613 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: regurgitating the bitterness of the election. Rand Paul on fire. 614 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: Look at the senator from Kentucky lightening up in Congress, 615 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: just dropping truth bombs, doing what he's got to do. 616 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: What the heck is this all about? You know, the 617 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: Democrats did this before, Remember with Nancy Pelosi almost exactly 618 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: a year ago. I remember, right before the pandemic, and 619 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: Pelosi was playing this game where she was demanding that 620 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, as sentiment jority leader at that time, change 621 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: the rules to fit Pelosi's whim or else she wouldn't 622 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: transmit the articles of impeachment. And the whole thing was absurd. 623 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: They knew they weren't going to have the votes, they 624 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: knew it wasn't going to be closed. So what's the 625 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: point of it? Why do it? And they're doing it again. 626 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 1: Trump has broken these people. They are emotionally, they are 627 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: psychologically unwell because of the Trump presidency, and they haven't 628 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: all of a sudden been cured because he's no longer president. 629 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: That much is obvious. This is why they want to 630 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: continue to drag this out. This is why they will 631 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:45,760 Speaker 1: not let this go, even though there's nothing, nothing to support. 632 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: If their real goal is unity, this is laughable. And 633 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,399 Speaker 1: even if their goal is accountability, how will it force 634 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 1: accountability to hold a vote that won't end up doing 635 00:37:55,760 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: anything against President Trump? What's the former president Trump? Of course? 636 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: What's that going to achieve? Nothing? This is spiteful, it's vindictive, 637 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: it is childish. Democrats won the presidential election, and we 638 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: can all complain about it. We can hold our own 639 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: theories and our own beliefs about it. That's fine, But 640 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 1: Joe Biden as president. They won, and now we are 641 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,839 Speaker 1: living in an America where the people in power are 642 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: somehow it seems almost even angrier than when they were 643 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: out of power. They're certainly more willing to take actions 644 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 1: like this. They're happy to do it, to bring a 645 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: second impeachment against the president, against former President Trump, it's 646 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:47,319 Speaker 1: an absurdity. But they are also, I believe, trying to 647 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: show their base exactly what this Biden presidency's going to 648 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: be all about. Even Lindsay Graham is willing to say 649 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: at this stage. Now you know, I know, Lindsay He's 650 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: probably gonna appear on Fox News any minute telling us 651 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: he get to the bottom of the Russia collusion case 652 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: or whatever. He's sure he is. But here he is 653 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: telling everybody that Biden's a disappointment, and he's right. Play 654 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: ten and Joe Biden's been a huge disappointment thus for 655 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,399 Speaker 1: not only on policy but on the idea that I'm 656 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: going to bring the country together. How easy would it be, 657 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 1: Sean for Joe Biden to say it is bad to 658 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: impeach a president after they leave office. Enough already with 659 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, let's look forward. So it tells you a 660 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: lot about Biden's ability and desire to bring us together 661 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: by the fact that he's sitting on the sidelines and 662 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: his only comment has been I don't think they have 663 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: the votes. They don't have the votes. So what's this 664 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: all about. What's the point, what's the purpose? Why go 665 00:39:53,680 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 1: through this charade? Well, Democrats have Trump's arrangement syndrome, but 666 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's calls for unity didn't even last a week before. 667 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: It was laughable. I mean, none of us believed it 668 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,240 Speaker 1: from the outset, but now it's demonstrable. It's it's clear, 669 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: it's provable to anybody who's paying attention that Joe Biden 670 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 1: has no interest whatsoever in unity, simply wants to toss 671 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,240 Speaker 1: some red meat into the cage of rage filled leftists 672 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: snarling over the prospect of one more chance to go 673 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: after Orange Man bad. That's amazing how much somebody who 674 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: comes along, who does not bow to them and is 675 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: not afraid of them upsets them. That was really Trump's 676 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: greatest sin of all, wasn't it that he just said, no, no, 677 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not scared of you. I'm not going 678 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: to allow the left wing machine to dictate how I speak, 679 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: what I say, and what I do. Now, that's not 680 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: to say that Trump wasn't sometimes badly served by his 681 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: own advisors and made some decisions that I disagree with. 682 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 1: But he didn't bend the knee to the left when 683 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: they demanded it. And that alone was a revolutionary act 684 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,919 Speaker 1: in America today, just to say no, you can say 685 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 1: the worst imaginable things about me, and they did about 686 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,919 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. They said the worst things possible, A traitor, 687 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:22,800 Speaker 1: a rapist, a criminal, crazy, they said everything, and he said, 688 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to keep on coming and keep on fighting. 689 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,880 Speaker 1: And now they have to try to destroy the memory 690 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 1: of that because do you know what their greatest fear is, 691 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: And I've been thinking about this for some time now. 692 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 1: The greatest fear of the Democrats have is not that 693 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump will come back. It's that Trump's central point 694 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 1: of defiance against the left wing machinery will metastasize throughout 695 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,399 Speaker 1: our society. It will spread all over the place. People 696 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: will realize, Hold on a second, it doesn't have to 697 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 1: be this way. I don't have to live in fear 698 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,800 Speaker 1: of saying one thing that upsets the woke left. I 699 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: don't have to obey their dictates and repeat things that 700 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 1: they say are true that I know are untrue on 701 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: fear of losing my livelihood or losing the respect of 702 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: the public being destroyed. If that idea were to spread 703 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 1: further all across America, that would be very, very damaging 704 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,479 Speaker 1: for the wokeness, for the left, And that's their greatest fear, 705 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: is that everybody will see Hold on a second. If 706 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 1: Trump can stand up to this, who else can? And 707 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: not just one person this time around? How many other 708 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 1: people all across the country are in a position. Not 709 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: everyone's in the position. And make no mistake about it, 710 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:48,640 Speaker 1: there as some people out there who are listening to 711 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: this who may be saying, you know, buck, if I 712 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 1: if I poke my head above the above the fence 713 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 1: line here, if I step out of line, I might 714 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: lose my job. I might my kids might be harassed 715 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,320 Speaker 1: in school, you know. To them, I say, don't charge 716 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: the machine gun nests without a plan. You don't have to. 717 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be everyone. Look at what Trump 718 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 1: was able to do. Now he's also a famous billionaire, 719 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: I get it. But one person was able to have 720 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: a whole lot of impact on this conversation, how many 721 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 1: of the rest of us are able to do so. 722 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 1: If it spreads, it becomes a much bigger problem for 723 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: the left, and that's why they have to impeach and 724 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 1: impeach and impeach. That's why they have to keep the 725 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:35,720 Speaker 1: pressure on. They want a collapse of that basic trump 726 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,760 Speaker 1: ethos of I will fight back. That's they're they're fondness 727 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: of the left just wants us to go to go 728 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: to a place where they get to do whatever they want. 729 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,239 Speaker 1: And we say, wow, that's really unfair, and you know, 730 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 1: they're cheating or they're they're really nasty and they have 731 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 1: double standards, they're hypocrites. But but you know, we play nice. 732 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,959 Speaker 1: If we do that, the country continues, it's lurched towards 733 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 1: the left. We end up in a collectivist state of 734 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: national disrepair, and we become a cautionary tale in centuries 735 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: to come. I know we don't usually talk about timelines 736 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,479 Speaker 1: in that way, but you know, we are the fall 737 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,319 Speaker 1: of Rome, so to speak. We are a nation and 738 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: a people that will will not continue as we are, 739 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 1: will become something else, weaker and able to be dissolved 740 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 1: from within. Because what holds us together so we can 741 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 1: stand up and fight against this, or we can just 742 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 1: accept that the Left gets to make make its dictates reality. 743 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 1: And that's also why there's so much pressure in the 744 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: realm of speech right now. That's why the First Amendment 745 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,280 Speaker 1: is under such sustained assault. Tulsi Gabberd was on Tucker 746 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: Show last night talking about this play too. It isn't 747 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 1: simply government officials in our intel and law enforce agencies. 748 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: It's also private businesses. It's these giant tech monopolies. What 749 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 1: can the rest of us do to protect ourselves to 750 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,319 Speaker 1: keep free speech alive in a moment when it's being 751 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 1: crushed all around us. First of all, keep speaking. I 752 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 1: think this is the most important thing at a time 753 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 1: when there is so much fear and threats, and the 754 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: kind of fomenting of fear that we're seeing coming from 755 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,800 Speaker 1: the likes of John Brennan. Take a stand. We must 756 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: all take a stand and unite around these principles in 757 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 1: our constitution and continue to speak freely, whether it be 758 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 1: in person, on the street corner or on these virtual 759 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 1: public squares, these town squares that exist online. You know, 760 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 1: big tech is culpable in this in that they are 761 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 1: using their monopolistic power to pick and choose whose voices 762 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 1: are heard and whose voices are squelched, whether it's based 763 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 1: on who they agree with, disagree with, political affiliation, who 764 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 1: you voted for, or whatever. I think there are alternative platforms. 765 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 1: I've got one on Tulsi dot locals dot com. It's 766 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 1: a place where people can come and speak freely and 767 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 1: have open dialogue and conversation around different issues based on 768 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: respect and this appreciation for our constitutional rights and freedoms. 769 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 1: Tulsi Gabbert of Hawaii is a really interesting political figure 770 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 1: in this moment in American history, and it's because you 771 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 1: know why so many Democrats hate her because she doesn't 772 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 1: hate Republicans. That's not allowed. She doesn't agree with Republicans, 773 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 1: but she doesn't hate them. She does not despise Trump voters. 774 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 1: She does not despise people on the right who have 775 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,399 Speaker 1: a different view of policy and governance. She actually talks 776 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 1: to them, she tries to explain her point of view. 777 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 1: That's not allow that's really anathema to the Democrat Party. 778 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,840 Speaker 1: You're not supposed to do that. It's crush, destroy control. 779 00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 1: That's what you're seeing with the social media companies We've 780 00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:01,439 Speaker 1: gone from them pretending they were not censoring to promising 781 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: that they wouldn't censor so in such a part as 782 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 1: in fashion, to yeah, we're a bunch of part As 783 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:11,720 Speaker 1: an activist, what are you gonna do about it? That's 784 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 1: been the transformation of the tech monopoly approach to free 785 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: speech in America. What are you going to do about it? 786 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 1: That's what they're telling you. We don't have a very 787 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,440 Speaker 1: good answer yet, but we should at least understand where 788 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,880 Speaker 1: we stand. And Tulsei Gabbard and Tucker they're having that conversation, 789 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 1: making it clear to everybody that this is only going 790 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,440 Speaker 1: to get worse until we can finally have enough of 791 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 1: an opposition to this that they feel there's a downside, 792 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 1: there's enough of an opposition of this where they will 793 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,800 Speaker 1: feel the pain in a business sense and they'll stop. 794 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,840 Speaker 1: And that means that we're going to have to do. 795 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 1: There's a whole movement that has to be built here 796 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 1: among conservatives to oppose this stuff. It's going to take time, 797 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 1: it's going to take a lot of effort, but that's 798 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:03,279 Speaker 1: the only way. Otherwise it's render Otherwise it's Romneyism. I 799 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 1: know what side of this I stand on. I know 800 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 1: what side of it you stand on.
