Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Team. Welcome to the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt Monday, April twenty fifth edition. The program so
Speaker 1: much to discuss, including Elon's offer to buy Twitter may
Speaker 1: actually be accepted now by the board. We have social
Speaker 1: emotional learning in textbooks in Florida. The culture war over
Speaker 1: indoctrination of children continues, and some more on Hunter Biden,
Speaker 1: the lies to defend him, the Biden administration under siege
Speaker 1: the border by the way, a total mess will cover
Speaker 1: as much of this as weekend today and obviously every
Speaker 1: other day this week. That is how we roll. But
Speaker 1: you know, we've got to stand behind our men and
Speaker 1: women in law enforcement. Right now. You may not know this.
Speaker 1: Four Deputy US Marshals were deployed under President Trump to
Speaker 1: protect him. To fend to federal courthouse in Portland. This
Speaker 1: is the courthouse that the psycho libs we're trying to
Speaker 1: burn down Antifa, anti fascions and trying to burn to
Speaker 1: the ground. Well, guess what. The Department of Justice under
Speaker 1: the Biden administration will not provide an attorney to defend
Speaker 1: these deputy marshals from these crazy allegations. These are brave
Speaker 1: officers who had to take a lot of punishment, assault fires,
Speaker 1: flying objects, lasers in their eyes, and now the DOJ,
Speaker 1: to make a political point under Biden, is leaving them
Speaker 1: high and dry. They need help. They need help to
Speaker 1: defend themselves. You can help them right now and alleviate
Speaker 1: the financial burden of their defense. These are family men
Speaker 1: with stellar records of service. Help them today. Donate at
Speaker 1: police defense dot org. That's police defense dot org. Step
Speaker 1: up and help out those who are trying to keep
Speaker 1: anarchy from ruling on our streets. Oh, Twitter, so here
Speaker 1: we have former see chair Jake Clayton on Musk's Twitter bid.
Speaker 1: Let's update you on it. What you are seeing is
Speaker 1: a direction of travel where those uncertainties are being addressed.
Speaker 1: There are many to go, but we've seen financing be addressed.
Speaker 1: We've seen due diligence taken off the table. You've seen
Speaker 1: the Board of directors do what board of directors do
Speaker 1: with a pill and other actions trying to put some
Speaker 1: order and process around us. And you know, the market
Speaker 1: is taking stock as you've noted of how shareholders and
Speaker 1: others feel about this. So there's a direction of travel
Speaker 1: from uncertainty to trying to eliminate those uncertainties and get
Speaker 1: greater certainty. There's obviously a way to go, but that's
Speaker 1: where we are. Elon may in fact be able to
Speaker 1: buy Twitter. Elon may be able to buy Why is
Speaker 1: it such a big deal? Well, because twitteries the closest
Speaker 1: thing that we have to a public square where you
Speaker 1: can have the very rapid sharing and elevation of ideas,
Speaker 1: the exchange of ideas, and most media outlets, because it's
Speaker 1: instantaneous information sharing that everybody has, most media outlets are
Speaker 1: very involved in Twitter, both having their employees using it
Speaker 1: to understand what the zeitgeist of the current moment may be,
Speaker 1: what the activists are saying if you're a leftist. But
Speaker 1: this is a big deal. He's a big deal of Elon,
Speaker 1: as we've been discussing here on the show for weeks.
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't new, but they had initially said
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't accept it. Now they're in the final
Speaker 1: stages of a fifty four dollars and twenty cents per
Speaker 1: share takeover bid, and he's going to revolutionize the tech Gihon.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is going to make Twitter a mega platform
Speaker 1: if he buys this. I think he's going to make
Speaker 1: this something that is going to have ramifications well beyond
Speaker 1: just what you can tweet, because Facebook and other companies
Speaker 1: will see this and realize, oh, this is now the
Speaker 1: place where people believe that there is not only a
Speaker 1: level a more level playing field for ideas, but that
Speaker 1: there's also the most clear vision of what this platform
Speaker 1: can do going forward. Look at you that they've been
Speaker 1: whining about, you know, climate change and electric cars for years.
Speaker 1: By the way, I absolutely love the Twitter exchange between
Speaker 1: Elon and Bill Gates. I shouldn't say Twitter, It's actually
Speaker 1: a text exchange that was shared on Twitter where Bill
Speaker 1: Gates wants Elon to donate money I think to the
Speaker 1: Gates Foundation something like that having to do with climate change,
Speaker 1: and Elon says, are you still short Tesla five hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars? And Gates goes yes. Unfortunately, I am so
Speaker 1: this guy's asking. Gates is a scummy fellow, And this
Speaker 1: is what everyone's kind of realized this now. I think
Speaker 1: it's taken a while. I'm not even talking about the
Speaker 1: Epstein connections, which there are connections. That is a fact.
Speaker 1: He spent time at at the Island now better known
Speaker 1: as Pedophile Island. But Gates it just seems like an untrustworthy,
Speaker 1: sanctimonious lib fraud. Who really software that he built and
Speaker 1: they you know, nineties or whatever or the company around
Speaker 1: the nineties. Yeah, people say revolutionize eater and the software's
Speaker 1: kind of crappy. Really when you think about it, does
Speaker 1: not even really want to use Windows these days? Windows
Speaker 1: Windows trash anyway, neither here nor there. Well, actually it
Speaker 1: is both here and there. Point here being that when
Speaker 1: Elon found out that he was still short five hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars of Tesla, He's like, yeah, no, I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm writing you a check for your climate change foundation,
Speaker 1: because Tesla has actually done more to advance a clean
Speaker 1: energy future than any other company on the planet. You
Speaker 1: know why. They made better technology, They made it cool,
Speaker 1: and they made it work. That's the big difference. This
Speaker 1: isn't let's use government subsidies. Let's pretend that it's not
Speaker 1: super annoying and inconvenient. This is Hey, Tesla's are kind
Speaker 1: of awesome. I might buy one. I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: all this right now I might actually, yes, I might
Speaker 1: get a Tesla. Not because I think that climate chase
Speaker 1: the problem. I don't. I just think Tesla's are cool.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I just think they're I've been in them.
Speaker 1: I want to go test drive one and really see.
Speaker 1: But I think they're great. I think they're great cars.
Speaker 1: You know, once you go electric scooter, you figure electric
Speaker 1: electric car maybe the next move. And I will have
Speaker 1: you know that that the scooter is catching on very
Speaker 1: rapidly in New York City. The scooter is catching on
Speaker 1: in a way that people I don't think ever would
Speaker 1: have really anticipated beforehand. Lewis Hamilton the best Formula One
Speaker 1: driver in the world, some would argue the best Formula
Speaker 1: One driver of all time, along Michael Schumacher. He drives
Speaker 1: around on race day in an electric scooter. I'll have
Speaker 1: you know, I've seen it on Netflix. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: good enos good enough for Lewis Hamilton's good enough for me.
Speaker 1: But back to Elon and the Twitter situation. Here, my
Speaker 1: team is saying stuff about the need for me to
Speaker 1: get a normal car. Probably, but that's all right, we
Speaker 1: can we can get an electric car. So Elon's offer
Speaker 1: may go through and that would be fantastic. And I've
Speaker 1: already I twittered at him today. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they'll see it. He's got, you know, one of the
Speaker 1: biggest Twitter followings in the world, and I'm like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: can you please make public all of the shadow banning
Speaker 1: and the rigged game nonsense that the Libs have been
Speaker 1: pulling for ten years because radical transparency is the best
Speaker 1: antidote to their authoritarianism. It is absolutely true radical transparency
Speaker 1: of what has been done there. And I think this
Speaker 1: terrifies the lives almost more than anything else. There's so
Speaker 1: many there has been such it's basically cheating that's been
Speaker 1: going on. I mean, it's like we thought we were
Speaker 1: doing collegiate wrestling the whole time. You know, it made
Speaker 1: the best man win, but it's really WWE wrestling. No
Speaker 1: offense at WWE, but you know they know who's going
Speaker 1: to win the match before it's over, right, If we
Speaker 1: all know this, I don't know. I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: telling anybody. There's no Santa Clause here. But they told
Speaker 1: us that it was actually a fair game. It wasn't.
Speaker 1: It hasn't been a fair game all along. Twitter has
Speaker 1: been a rigged a rigged system, There's no question about it.
Speaker 1: So if Elon takes this over, it would be an opportunity. Look,
Speaker 1: we got to see what he does, but it would
Speaker 1: be an opportunity for things to be fantastic. Honestly on Twitter.
Speaker 1: It would be great. And look, if if Elon can't
Speaker 1: fix it, well, then we just got to do a
Speaker 1: different We gotta go to a different platform, right if
Speaker 1: Elon's not actually making it free and fair, But why
Speaker 1: do it? If he's not going to do it, well,
Speaker 1: why buy Twitter to make it left wing? It's already
Speaker 1: left wing? Right, It doesn't make any sense. So if
Speaker 1: he's going to spend fifty billion dollars, I'm sure he
Speaker 1: has a plan in mind to make this a real
Speaker 1: platform with real free speech. And I'm excited that that
Speaker 1: is the plan that he has. Look, if you run
Speaker 1: a small business, who's running your HR? If the answer
Speaker 1: is I'll figure it out myself or no one, Remember,
Speaker 1: one employee complaint can turn your world upside down. HR
Speaker 1: is not just about avoiding risk. As a business leader,
Speaker 1: you should do right by the people you employ. That's
Speaker 1: why you need Bambi. Bambi is an HR platform build
Speaker 1: for business like yours, so you can automate it. That's right,
Speaker 1: automate the most important HR practices and get your own
Speaker 1: dedicated HR manager Bambi's HR autopilot automate your core policies,
Speaker 1: workplace training, and employee feedback. Your dedicated HR manager will
Speaker 1: help you navigate the more complex parts of HR and

Speaker 1: time chat. An in house HR manager can cost up
Speaker 1: to eighty thousand dollars a year, but with Bambi, your
Speaker 1: dedicated HR manager starts at just ninety nine dollars a month,
Speaker 1: no hidden fees, cancel anytime. All you have to do
Speaker 1: now is go to Bamby, b A M b Ee
Speaker 1: Bambi dot com slash a buck for your free HR audit.

Speaker 1: folks out there working in corporate America, Bambi, Bambee dot com,
Speaker 1: slash buck, Bambi dot com slash buck, got to go
Speaker 1: check out Vanby. It is fantastic. I just want to
Speaker 1: note that there's this continuous game of lying that is
Speaker 1: going on about the Battle in Florida culture War, Battle
Speaker 1: in Florida, over and by the way. I don't think
Speaker 1: people should. The left tries to use that as a
Speaker 1: term of disparagement. I think, you know, we should just
Speaker 1: actually fight back in the culture war. It shouldn't be
Speaker 1: a one way war, which is what it has felt
Speaker 1: like for the last oh, you know, ten or fifteen,
Speaker 1: twenty years. I think it's a good thing that we're
Speaker 1: finally saying enough is enough and fight fire with fire.
Speaker 1: This is the big debate that I've at least seen
Speaker 1: last few days among some old school conservatives of the
Speaker 1: Weekly Standard, rip and National Review type and other people
Speaker 1: on the more. I guess you'd call it populous, right.
Speaker 1: I just think the right that wants to win because
Speaker 1: corporations and politicians, I've been doing this for a long time,
Speaker 1: favors for corporations based on politics. To pretend that this
Speaker 1: isn't going on literally every day is to be blind
Speaker 1: to reality. That this isn't happening all over the country
Speaker 1: all the time is to live in a delusion. So
Speaker 1: we can pretend that there's some neutral space here that
Speaker 1: we are seeding, or that Rhonda Santis is seeding in
Speaker 1: the state of Florida by taking action against Disney, or
Speaker 1: we can say hold on a second, this is what
Speaker 1: is happening constantly all the time, every day. We need
Speaker 1: to start doing that too. Our side, when we have power,
Speaker 1: when there's a mandate from the voters, from the people
Speaker 1: that have put in place somebody to make decisions for
Speaker 1: a state like Florida, our side can change the calculation
Speaker 1: of these corporations and start to shift the Overton window
Speaker 1: back to some semblance of reality instead of this mass
Speaker 1: left wing delusion. That's where so I'm firmly in favor
Speaker 1: of taking action here or else. We just keep losing
Speaker 1: until effectively the right ceases to exist in any meaningful way.
Speaker 1: Which it started to feel like we were heading in
Speaker 1: that direction if we continued on the pathway of it's
Speaker 1: a neutral space and people saying, oh, take it to
Speaker 1: the courts. I saw this over the weekend. Look at
Speaker 1: what a big victory we had with Masterpiece cake Shop.
Speaker 1: Master Piece cake Shop. The individual, the proprietor there is
Speaker 1: basically bankrupted and they've ruined his life and they keep
Speaker 1: suing him like all the time. It's not a victory
Speaker 1: when someone's able to destroy your life because you won't
Speaker 1: make a cake of all kinds of either pornographic or
Speaker 1: satanic stuff or whatever it is that's being demanded. That's
Speaker 1: not victory, friends, But speaking of the mass delusion on
Speaker 1: mask delusions, that's wanted to hit this quickly. Over the
Speaker 1: weekend on the Bill Maher Show, there was a discussion
Speaker 1: about masks. It sounds like some people on the left
Speaker 1: or recognizing reality. Mary Katherine Ham is a not a leftist,
Speaker 1: but she was on the panel. Here you go, listen.
Speaker 1: We know that masks are a minimally helpful, but we
Speaker 1: told a lot of people they were maximally helpful. Wouldn't
Speaker 1: they get it just when they said you don't have
Speaker 1: to wear it while you're eating? Or I see the
Speaker 1: basketball players playing gouging each other's eyes out, and then
Speaker 1: they go to the bench and they put the mask on.
Speaker 1: It's like, what the world am I living in? What
Speaker 1: people are not seeing this insanity? We have to decide, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: what is my risk level? Two year olds don't have
Speaker 1: the same risk level as eighty eight year olds. Being
Speaker 1: indoors doesn't have the same level as being outdoors. But
Speaker 1: we did seemingly all the opposite things, which is, get
Speaker 1: the kids out of school who are at least vulnerable,
Speaker 1: hurt them that way, close the parks and the hiking trails,
Speaker 1: and then have indoor outdoor spaces to eat that are
Speaker 1: actually just indoor. Again. Yes, it was all so stupid,
Speaker 1: wasn't it. None of that is made up. All of
Speaker 1: that is true, and all of that was indefensible, indefensibly
Speaker 1: stupid in fact, all of it. And so what does
Speaker 1: the left offer up? Fauci's brilliant. He's a genius mask
Speaker 1: up between bites. They're wrong, they were wrong about all
Speaker 1: of it. We were right about all of it. It's
Speaker 1: worth remembering. I'm gonna have to take you on a
Speaker 1: update tour of the border tomorrow, friends, because doing a
Speaker 1: quick quick Hits podcast here on Monday. Back with you
Speaker 1: tomorrow though, Shield time
