Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom Hunt. Oh team, we have
Speaker 1: a big surprise for you at the top of the
Speaker 1: show in just a second. Plus breaking news Minneapolis in flames,
Speaker 1: a police department abandoned to the mob. Also, Trump signs
Speaker 1: an executive order on social media, and what does the
Speaker 1: World Health Organization say about masks? Coming up? This is
Speaker 1: the bus Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is
Speaker 1: to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no
Speaker 1: mistake a great American Again, the Buck Sexon Show begins. Analyst,
Speaker 1: he's a great guy. No, welcome everybody to the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Thank you very much for joining. It is
Speaker 1: an honor, a privilege, and a pleasure to bring to
Speaker 1: you an exclusive interview between yours truly and of course
Speaker 1: the President of the United States, Donald John Trump, mister President,
Speaker 1: thank you for joining us. Thank you very much. Buck.
Speaker 1: It's an honor. So let's just get right to it.
Speaker 1: We saw the numbers today, and we knew the numbers
Speaker 1: on the unemployment. We're going to be bad, sir, and
Speaker 1: people are really concerned. I'm here in New York, you're
Speaker 1: a fellow New Yorker, but all across the country people
Speaker 1: are worried about jobs. What do you want to say
Speaker 1: to the folks who are just beginning to see that
Speaker 1: the country is reopening, Well, it really is. It's starting,
Speaker 1: and it's going to start, and I think it's going
Speaker 1: to get really you know, I've been calling it. You
Speaker 1: actually wrote it once, and I do watch you, and
Speaker 1: I think you're terrific. Book. I have to say, hence
Speaker 1: I talk to you. But I think that you're going
Speaker 1: to see a transition to greatness. And the transition is
Speaker 1: going to begin pretty much now. It's already started. If
Speaker 1: your look at the stock exchanges when you're twenty five
Speaker 1: thousand plus and we just went through the worst pandemic
Speaker 1: since nineteen seventeen, over one hundred years, it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: But I think you're going to see some very good
Speaker 1: numbers coming into the third quarter, and I think the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter is going to be terrific. And I think
Speaker 1: next year is going to be a great year. We
Speaker 1: have a lot of stimulus out there, we have a
Speaker 1: lot of potential to do things, and I just think
Speaker 1: you're going to see some really good numbers in I
Speaker 1: think you're starting to see that right now. And with
Speaker 1: the governors that are saying that they're going to need
Speaker 1: additional funding. They're calling for bailouts. I know that you
Speaker 1: had a meeting with Governor Cuomo recently. How should that
Speaker 1: be handled? What's your position on what should go on
Speaker 1: here with the states that do have big budget shortfalls
Speaker 1: because of the lockdown. Well, there's a big difference if
Speaker 1: you're talking about then of the pandemic, that's one thing,
Speaker 1: or if you're talking about twenty five years of bad management,
Speaker 1: which is really something that some of them are doing.
Speaker 1: You know, you look at some and we won't use
Speaker 1: the names of the states, but if you look at
Speaker 1: some of what's going on, they want to have a bailout,
Speaker 1: and a lot of Republicans aren't wanting to do a bailout.
Speaker 1: Now if it's to help over this terrible pandemic released
Speaker 1: and came right out of China that should have been
Speaker 1: stopped by China. They could have stopped that, They should
Speaker 1: have stopped it, that's a different thing. But so we're
Speaker 1: negotiating and we'll see we're going to take care of
Speaker 1: this country, but they are. You do have a group
Speaker 1: of people they want to solve and take care of
Speaker 1: problems that we're not caused by the pandemic, and that's
Speaker 1: a different story for anyone joining us in progress. We're
Speaker 1: talking to the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Mister President. I also wanted to ask about the possibility
Speaker 1: here of a second way of something you and I
Speaker 1: spoke about briefly. And there's a lot of concern out
Speaker 1: there for businesses, for the markets, for people who want
Speaker 1: to know if they get their job back or they
Speaker 1: get a new job, they don't want to have to
Speaker 1: shut it down again or lose that lose another job.
Speaker 1: So what is your position on what we're facing right now?
Speaker 1: How are we preparing for the winter, you know, the
Speaker 1: fall winter flu season. From your perspective, well, the numbers
Speaker 1: are going down, or we've done everything right. We've done
Speaker 1: We did the ban on China. We just we then
Speaker 1: did a ban on Europe last night, as you know,
Speaker 1: we did a ban on Brazil. Brazil's being hit very,
Speaker 1: very hard, but we will not be closing the country.
Speaker 1: We've we've done the right thing. We've gotten to know
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with, and it's it's very brutal. It's
Speaker 1: a nasty, horrible disease and it's a shame we have
Speaker 1: to be doing this. It's a horrible thing that we've
Speaker 1: lost so many people, but the world has lost so
Speaker 1: many people. You know, we're one hundred eighty eight one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty six or eighty eight countries right now,
Speaker 1: all fighting it and fighting it, you know, strong. But
Speaker 1: it's a terrible thing. But we will. You know. I
Speaker 1: think what we might see as embers, you might see flames,
Speaker 1: you might see something, and we'll get it out one
Speaker 1: way the other. We'll get it out, we'll stop it.
Speaker 1: But the country's going forward. We're going forward, and that's
Speaker 1: the way it is. We have. Really I consider it
Speaker 1: even no choice. We have to do it, because you
Speaker 1: break a country, you break it by doing too much.
Speaker 1: Of what we did. We did the right thing. If
Speaker 1: you I'll give you an example. If we didn't do it,
Speaker 1: I think you would have lost a million and a
Speaker 1: half to two and a half million people. So that
Speaker 1: would be fifteen times the number that we lost. It
Speaker 1: would not have been sustainable acceptable as a leader. It
Speaker 1: would not have been acceptable. People would have said, what
Speaker 1: is wrong with him? So we're at one hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: That was the lower end, and one life is too many.
Speaker 1: I have to say buck. One life is too many.
Speaker 1: This should never have happened. But that's at the lower
Speaker 1: end of the lower models. And you know, it's a
Speaker 1: terrible thing. But we could have lost one and a
Speaker 1: half to two and a half million people. So take
Speaker 1: all of the death you've seen and now multiply at
Speaker 1: times ten, fifteen or twenty or more, and it would
Speaker 1: not have been sustainable. You would not have been I
Speaker 1: think you would have had you would have had riots
Speaker 1: in the street. Mister President. We've in recent weeks had
Speaker 1: more information about the targeting of General Flynn, about the
Speaker 1: lies and the conspiracy around the Russia Gate or Obama
Speaker 1: Gate and these different versions of essentially the Russia Russia conspiracy.
Speaker 1: I wanted to know what we should be expecting going forward.
Speaker 1: Are there more revelations? I mean, Director of National Intelligence
Speaker 1: acting now departed, Richard Grennell did a fantastic job from
Speaker 1: a transparency perspective. Are we going to get more transparency
Speaker 1: because the American people deserve to know what was done
Speaker 1: to you and what happened to your administration before we
Speaker 1: go in and look at the next possible election. It
Speaker 1: should never be allowed to happen again. But what happened
Speaker 1: to this administration, what happened to General Flynn, what happened
Speaker 1: to others that are going through it still it should
Speaker 1: never It was an attempted coup. It was an attempted
Speaker 1: take down of a duly elected president. Happened to be me,
Speaker 1: could have been anybody, but you would think we're not
Speaker 1: a third world country. This was a coup and they
Speaker 1: got caught, and they've been caught. I think John Ratcliffe
Speaker 1: is going to do a fantastic job. Bill Barr is
Speaker 1: doing a terrific job. And I specifically as you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know it, probably better than anybody. I
Speaker 1: would absolutely have the right to totally get involved. I've
Speaker 1: chosen not to because I think it's better that if
Speaker 1: I didn't. I could and I could have, but I've
Speaker 1: chosen not to. Bill Barr's handling it. Other people are
Speaker 1: handling it. John Ratcliffe now is fantastic. He'll be involved.
Speaker 1: But I will say this, I believe you're going to
Speaker 1: see things that will shock the minds even of the
Speaker 1: people that were most skeptical. It is an incredible it's
Speaker 1: I think it's the greatest scandal in the political scandal,
Speaker 1: certainly in the history of our country. This makes Watergate
Speaker 1: what they did to us many of us, but what
Speaker 1: they did to this country makes Watergate look like small potatus.
Speaker 1: We're speaking to President United States Donald Trump. Mister President,
Speaker 1: you signed an executive order today having to do with
Speaker 1: social media platforms and essentially declaring that they cannot have
Speaker 1: certain protection if they're going to be politically biased, as
Speaker 1: we saw with the Twitter notification on a recent tweet
Speaker 1: of yours. First off, I just want to know what
Speaker 1: would you what do you want to see from these
Speaker 1: these platforms going forward? Well, I signed, and this has
Speaker 1: to do with two thirty, but it's it's really more
Speaker 1: than that. It's really it's a level of power, whether
Speaker 1: you could almost say it's monopolistic power, but it's very
Speaker 1: dangerous for our country where you have a few people,
Speaker 1: where you have an individual, where you have a company
Speaker 1: that literally is going to call the got of our elections,
Speaker 1: and they treat us very, very unfairly. You know that
Speaker 1: from a conservative standpoint, from a Republican standpoint, they treat
Speaker 1: us so horribly. There are those that say it's an
Speaker 1: incredible miracle, the miracle of twenty sixteen, because they were
Speaker 1: very much against us. But now they're insane. They've gone insane,
Speaker 1: and you look at what's going on, along with some
Speaker 1: others an all fairness, working with the Democrats, and they're
Speaker 1: very well aligned with the Democrats, as is the media
Speaker 1: aligned with the Democrats, with the exception of a small amount.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I do call is like this
Speaker 1: is we have to get our word out and if
Speaker 1: we didn't, we wouldn't have a chance. But the media
Speaker 1: the fake I call it the fake news media. As
Speaker 1: you very well know, the media is disgraceful. They're so dishonest.
Speaker 1: Not all it. There are some great people, great journalists
Speaker 1: that I know and I respect, but tremendous amounts of
Speaker 1: vast majority of the media people have no idea how
Speaker 1: bad the New York Times is, how bad, how evil,
Speaker 1: how corrupt. In my opinion, the New York Times is
Speaker 1: they'll take something that's good and make it sound horrible.
Speaker 1: The Washington Post, I quote the Amazon Washington Post is
Speaker 1: just horrible. And you know the interesting thing, if you're
Speaker 1: a person, you're driving a cab, you're you're a bricklay
Speaker 1: or a carpenter executive, you read a story, you don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on. I know what happened. And then
Speaker 1: I'll read a story and it bears no relationship to
Speaker 1: the story and they know it. They have phony sources,
Speaker 1: people that don't exist usually as people. They make them up.
Speaker 1: It's not like OG. The source wasn't quoted accurately, there
Speaker 1: was no source. It's phony, phony sources. So I think,
Speaker 1: you know, this may be better than most buck, but
Speaker 1: it is incredibly dishonest. So we need an honest media,
Speaker 1: and we have to call out these platforms, these horrible
Speaker 1: platforms that have been so biased. I mean on the
Speaker 1: front page today have the New York Post. They have
Speaker 1: a man named Yoel Roth and he's the king, I
Speaker 1: guess of Twitter. He's the judge of what goes on Twitter.
Speaker 1: And he's a super lefty that will We're just you know,
Speaker 1: like to your administration and say he's a site Integrity
Speaker 1: Chief I believe is his title, whatever that means. And
Speaker 1: you look at his past statements and tweets and you
Speaker 1: take a look at what he said on social media
Speaker 1: and it's terrible. And that goes for Facebook. They had
Speaker 1: the woman who was so atrocious that hearing six months ago.
Speaker 1: If you remember her, I said, isn't that that same
Speaker 1: woman called out my son, who's a young He's a
Speaker 1: very young guy. He's just turned fourteen years old and
Speaker 1: this was a year a year ago, right, and he
Speaker 1: is he is just horrendous. And the two other people
Speaker 1: that facebook a plain, these are horrendous people and there's
Speaker 1: no fairness with them. So we have to do it
Speaker 1: the hard way. And that's what I do. I mean,
Speaker 1: I fight, and I fight for what I know is
Speaker 1: best for the country. And I want to get your thoughts,
Speaker 1: mister President, on what's going on right now in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1: I saw that there's at least reporting of additional not
Speaker 1: just protests, but additional looting and violence on the streets there,
Speaker 1: and the mayor is calling for calm. The National Guard
Speaker 1: has been called in. What are your thoughts on that
Speaker 1: situation and how does the federal government play a role
Speaker 1: in calming things down and also achieving justice. It is very,
Speaker 1: very sad, and we've notified everybody in our in our side.
Speaker 1: On the federal side, we're very much engaged and working
Speaker 1: with local law enforcement. That goes from Bill bar the
Speaker 1: Attorney General, to the FBI, and we're very much involved
Speaker 1: with that. We want to get to the bottom was
Speaker 1: a terrible scene. I watched it like everybody else did.
Speaker 1: That was a horrible thing that I watched. Horrible And
Speaker 1: I want to also ask before we let you get
Speaker 1: back to running the country and leading the free world, sir,
Speaker 1: what you think your chances are right now going up
Speaker 1: against Joe Biden, who now wears a mask a lot
Speaker 1: of the time all over the place and his Twitter avatar,
Speaker 1: and he's certainly making a thing of it. How do
Speaker 1: you think your competition is shaping up so far? And
Speaker 1: what are going to be some of the ways that
Speaker 1: you want to make sure the American people remember why
Speaker 1: a Trump presidency part two would be very different from
Speaker 1: a Biden presidency. Well, I think we're going to do
Speaker 1: very well over the next number of months. You're starting
Speaker 1: to see the numbers really do well, and he's not
Speaker 1: for jobs, so you look at what they've done over
Speaker 1: then look, I'm only here because of Joe Biden and
Speaker 1: his partner. I'm only here for that reason. Without them,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be here. I became president because people were
Speaker 1: very unhappy China walked away with us. We're doing We're
Speaker 1: very strong on China and it's had the worst year
Speaker 1: before the epidemic. Before the pandemic, China had the worst
Speaker 1: year that they've had in sixty seven years, approximately sixty
Speaker 1: seven years, because we were being strong for the people
Speaker 1: of this country with respect to China. But I think this,
Speaker 1: I think Biden is surrounded by smart people. I think
Speaker 1: Biden himself is not at all smart. I don't think
Speaker 1: he knows what's going on. I see tweets come out
Speaker 1: where they analyze this thing or that thing, or fifteen
Speaker 1: different events that took place, and they analyze them very brilliantly.
Speaker 1: But that's not put out by Joe Biden. It's put
Speaker 1: out by people that are surrounding him wanting to get
Speaker 1: him into office. He's turned very left, But again I
Speaker 1: don't even think he's started left. I think it's just
Speaker 1: that he doesn't know where he is. He's lost. He's
Speaker 1: a lost sheep. And I see him, I hear him,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how this man can be president.
Speaker 1: He's just he just couldn't do it. And then you
Speaker 1: look at the sun walking away with a billion and
Speaker 1: a half dollars of money to invest. Enna doesn't do that.
Speaker 1: They don't do that for the top people. Or you
Speaker 1: look at what happened with Ukraine with the sun where
Speaker 1: he ends up making a fortune. This again, I didn't
Speaker 1: have a job, got thrown out of the services and
Speaker 1: didn't have a job for a long time, and then
Speaker 1: he's making millions of dollars a year. You can't have
Speaker 1: that as your president. I mean, it's just a very
Speaker 1: sad situation. But you just can't now whether or not
Speaker 1: it all goes. The Democrats are very powerful. We have
Speaker 1: some very bad rhinos in our party, and frankly, some
Speaker 1: of the rhinos, some of the never trumpers, are worse
Speaker 1: than the Democrats. And you know we've appointed you know
Speaker 1: this very well. We've appointed two hundred, close to two
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five federal judges, including Appello judges, two
Speaker 1: great Supreme Court judges. It's you know, we're shattering records
Speaker 1: on judges. You look at that. We've rebuilt the mill,
Speaker 1: We've cut taxes. We've gotten more regulation cuts than any
Speaker 1: president in history. And that's done in three and a
Speaker 1: half years, and some of them went eight years, or
Speaker 1: in one case more than eight years. Nobody's come close
Speaker 1: to regulation cuts. I'm protecting the Second Amendment. Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose your Second Amendment one hundred percent. We
Speaker 1: got veterans choice. We took care of our military. But
Speaker 1: when we rebuilt our military and we took care of
Speaker 1: veterans choice and also veterans accountability, we're able now to
Speaker 1: take care of We can fire people in the VA
Speaker 1: who treat our veterans badly. We can fire them. You
Speaker 1: couldn't do that because of frankly, the unions and civil service.
Speaker 1: You couldn't do it. I mean, we've done so much,
Speaker 1: I don't think and a lot of people nobody dispused
Speaker 1: me in this probably more in three years than just
Speaker 1: about any other president in the first three years. So
Speaker 1: we've done a lot. Hopefully that's going to be good
Speaker 1: enough because we need the four more years to seed
Speaker 1: religious liberty, so many other things that we've done that
Speaker 1: nobody else would do. A thing, all right, to try
Speaker 1: where somebody who's terminally ill wasn't able to get a
Speaker 1: drug that looked like it work, you know works, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't fully tested yet. But they're terminally ill, they're
Speaker 1: going to die. They've been trying to get it past
Speaker 1: for forty five years. They couldn't do it. I got
Speaker 1: it past and by the way, and miracles are taking place.
Speaker 1: Incredible things are happening. So we've done a lot, Buck,
Speaker 1: and we have some great support, and we really appreciate
Speaker 1: your viewpoint is very important to me, very very important.
Speaker 1: That's how we got to know each other as the president.
Speaker 1: It's an honor, sir. Thank you so much for calling in.
Speaker 1: And just can I get you to give some words
Speaker 1: of support. You're a New Yorker, I'm a New Yorker.
Speaker 1: You're speaking a lot of New Yorkers right now. We've
Speaker 1: gone through a tough one. Can you just give us
Speaker 1: at your closing thoughts on that and then we'll let
Speaker 1: you get back to running in government. Absolutely. Buck, Look,
Speaker 1: I'm very sad with what I see in New York.
Speaker 1: I've known New York. That's where I grew up. That's
Speaker 1: a place I just love. And when I look at
Speaker 1: those streets, it looks like they have barren and you've
Speaker 1: got to open it up. You've got to get going.
Speaker 1: You've got to just Oh, if you're going to break
Speaker 1: this city. People are leaving, they're leaving for Florida, they're
Speaker 1: leaving for other places. The city is going to be broken.
Speaker 1: It's got to start having signs of life. It's very
Speaker 1: very sad what they're doing, and they've got to do
Speaker 1: it really, really quickly and safely. But they have to
Speaker 1: do something. They can't let this go on because you're
Speaker 1: going to break the city, mister President. Thank you so much, sir,
Speaker 1: stay in the fight. We appreciate it. I will thank
Speaker 1: you very much. Buck, great honor. Thank you well. You
Speaker 1: heard it from the man himself. Such an honor to
Speaker 1: get to spend time with him last week in the
Speaker 1: Oval and just share my thoughts on all the major
Speaker 1: issues affecting the country right now. It's very kind of
Speaker 1: him to say that he values my opinion. The guy's
Speaker 1: got my cell phone number, so he knows he can
Speaker 1: reach out any time for my most honest and off
Speaker 1: the record advice about any issue. And I just hope
Speaker 1: you feel like you enjoyed and got a lot out
Speaker 1: of hearing from the leader of the free world during
Speaker 1: a very tumultuous time, that is for sure. Thank you,
Speaker 1: as always, team for being here with me. We've got
Speaker 1: a whole bunch more coming up. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts.
Speaker 1: The iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Trump
Speaker 1: issues threats after raging Minneapolis protests. That's the front page.
Speaker 1: That's the top of the New York Times right now.
Speaker 1: The issue you see, according to the most prominent liberal
Speaker 1: paper in the in the country, the ultimate left wing
Speaker 1: opinion maker, if you will, the problem isn't over a
Speaker 1: hundred businesses ransacked, looted, many of them lit on fire,
Speaker 1: burned to the ground. The problem isn't the violence, the
Speaker 1: hatred against the police. It's not that there are people
Speaker 1: yelling shoot white people last night, as was played on
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson's show on Fox. That's not the problem. The problem,
Speaker 1: according to The New York Times, the mainstream media and
Speaker 1: all the rest, is Trump and racism. Of course, but
Speaker 1: those things go hand in hand. In their mind, Trump
Speaker 1: is the ultimate symbol of racism to the left. As
Speaker 1: insane as that is, that's how they view it. They
Speaker 1: refer to widening demonstrations. This is I have to tell you,
Speaker 1: this is one of these moments where something happened in
Speaker 1: the news cycle that I will remember forever. This is
Speaker 1: going to be one that really sticks out. You add
Speaker 1: MSNBC's Ali velshiet and it's better if you see the video.
Speaker 1: But I'll just I want to play the audio for
Speaker 1: you so you can understand how crazy this is. You
Speaker 1: have an MSN MSNBC reporter who is standing in front
Speaker 1: of a blaze, I mean, standing in front of a
Speaker 1: building that is completely engulfed in flames, and what he
Speaker 1: decides to say about it is well the following play
Speaker 1: clip four. I want to be clear and how I
Speaker 1: characterize this. This is mostly a protest. It is not.
Speaker 1: It is not generally speaking unruly what fires have been started.
Speaker 1: It is mostly a protest. He is standing in front
Speaker 1: of a massive fire, burning down a private business after
Speaker 1: it had been looted, over a hundred businesses, destroyed, looted, ransacked,
Speaker 1: people smashing atm machines and cash registers with hammers, running
Speaker 1: out of stores, arms full of PlayStations and whatever else.
Speaker 1: But it's a mostly peaceful protest. This is like saying
Speaker 1: the Lincoln assassination was mostly a theatrical production, or that
Speaker 1: the Chernobol meltdown was mostly a peaceful collision with sub
Speaker 1: atomic particles, or perhaps the Bay of Pigs invasion was
Speaker 1: a mostly sunny day on Cuba's lovely beaches. These people
Speaker 1: in the left wing media are absurd, They're disgusting, and
Speaker 1: they are damaging. You know. They often say that Trump
Speaker 1: is a threat, that Trump is They are damaging the
Speaker 1: country with what they do and what they say. And
Speaker 1: there are a few things more cynical and condescending. Let
Speaker 1: me just say this right now, then, millionaire CNN and
Speaker 1: MSNBC anchors who live in Calorama mansions or Upper West
Speaker 1: Side duplexes, pretending that hundreds of businesses burned and looted
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis is in any way an understandable expression of
Speaker 1: iCal discontent. It's just it's just grotesque, it really is.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, this is a this is an expression of outrage. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: looting and rioting is not an not an expression of outrage.
Speaker 1: It's looting and rioting. They lit a police station, the
Speaker 1: third Precinct in Minneapolis. They lit on fire and the mayor,
Speaker 1: who I mean this is This is another moment in Tommy,
Speaker 1: you realize what what bad leadership really means. You know,
Speaker 1: what it means to have people in charge who are
Speaker 1: just who are just moronic. The mayor abandoned the site.
Speaker 1: Oh he spoke about it. We can hear him play
Speaker 1: clip five. Please. After receiving real time information from our
Speaker 1: Chief Ordondo, and after having numerous phone calls with him
Speaker 1: regarding the evolving situation at the Third Precinct, it became
Speaker 1: clear that there were imminent threats to both officers and public,
Speaker 1: and the danger was The danger became necessary, and I
Speaker 1: made the decision to evacuate the Third Precinct. The symbolism
Speaker 1: of a building cannot outweigh the importance of life of
Speaker 1: our officers or the public. We could not risk serious
Speaker 1: injury to anyone, and we will continue to patrol the
Speaker 1: Third Precinct entirely. We will continue to do our jobs
Speaker 1: in that area. Burning a police precinct to the ground
Speaker 1: without a fight, that's what happened in Minneapolis. And I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry for our our wonderful listeners up in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1: You know KTLK has has put us on in Minneapolis,
Speaker 1: Saint Paul, and I know a lot of you listening
Speaker 1: to this right now, You've got to be thinking what
Speaker 1: comes next, What comes next, what's going to happen to
Speaker 1: this this city, What's going to happen if the people
Speaker 1: who have a monopoly on violence in the state are
Speaker 1: supposed to have a monopoli and violence, refuse to use
Speaker 1: it to protect law, order, property and safety. They run away.
Speaker 1: They don't want to upset the loaders too much. Minneapolis. Unfortunately, KTLK,
Speaker 1: you're you're finding out right now during these riots. What
Speaker 1: New York has also learned during the COVID lockdown that
Speaker 1: when there's a crisis that requires leadership with resolve, courage,
Speaker 1: and good judgment, week utterly ineffectual far left wing mayor
Speaker 1: is a huge liability that gets people hurt and destroys things.
Speaker 1: Your mayor was not the same way that mayor build
Speaker 1: the Blasio in New York was not up for the
Speaker 1: onslaught of COVID nineteen and the institution of these lockdowns
Speaker 1: and his tyrannical, stupid rules. Your mayor for the up
Speaker 1: for the last here at all. There's probably going to
Speaker 1: be more protests. There were other cities across the country
Speaker 1: that had violent protests. Here in New York there are
Speaker 1: over seventy people arrested. Not too far from where I'm
Speaker 1: doing this show right now, there were protests over George
Speaker 1: Floyd's death, and I would wonder, at what point are
Speaker 1: we allowed to ask even for those who are protesting
Speaker 1: and not us who are rioting, or rioters who are looting.
Speaker 1: What do they want if it's just to express rage? Okay, well,
Speaker 1: what are the outer limits of that? Do they just
Speaker 1: get to set the boundary as they see fit. Is
Speaker 1: there something that they want that's a change in the system.
Speaker 1: Are they really going to pretend that there's a tremendous
Speaker 1: risk of death from law enforcement in the United States
Speaker 1: for anyone, including African American males, because the data shows,
Speaker 1: without any question, that's just not true. Not true. In
Speaker 1: any given year in the United States, you have under
Speaker 1: a hundred local law enforcement involved shootings that are under
Speaker 1: any kind of a suspicious or questionable circumstances when you
Speaker 1: start to dig into the data, and in some years
Speaker 1: it's more like forty or fifty. We're a country of
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty million people. There are literally millions
Speaker 1: and millions of interactions between civilians and police every year. Now,
Speaker 1: when something bad happens, it should be punished. And this
Speaker 1: looks like an egregious abuse of police power. And that
Speaker 1: has been as close to the consensus opinion on this
Speaker 1: issue as you could find on anything. I have not
Speaker 1: heard a single person of reputation, a single person with
Speaker 1: any kind of voice in public affairs who has expressed
Speaker 1: anything other than horror at George Floyd's death. They've already
Speaker 1: fired these officers. They are going to be facing charges.
Speaker 1: We do have a system in place. What is really
Speaker 1: the expectation that there will never be with the seven
Speaker 1: or eight hundred thousand cops that are on the job
Speaker 1: across the country, no one is going to exceed their
Speaker 1: their lawful authority, that no one's going to engage in
Speaker 1: lethal force now, Rember. There's also there are more granted
Speaker 1: when you add it up on a per capita basis,
Speaker 1: that changes the story a bit. But there are more
Speaker 1: people who are white who are killed by law enforcement
Speaker 1: every year than any other race. So you have more
Speaker 1: white people who are shot by cops every year than
Speaker 1: any other race in the aggregate. Now, of course, the
Speaker 1: African American community is only about thirteen percent overall of
Speaker 1: the population, but and has a disproportionate share of lethal
Speaker 1: encounters with law enforcement. And look, the FBI statistics bring
Speaker 1: up a whole host of other issues about law enforcement
Speaker 1: and disproportionate contact between certain communities and cops, and what
Speaker 1: do we do about all of this. But let's just
Speaker 1: understand with complete clarity across all racial lines, law enforcement
Speaker 1: is not an imminent lethal threat to people in the
Speaker 1: United States, and not even close. Now does that mean
Speaker 1: that bad things never happened and people never get killed?
Speaker 1: Of course not. I told you about the article that
Speaker 1: I wrote. Well, I got a lot of conservative criticism,
Speaker 1: although they were wrong. I was right, so I don't
Speaker 1: really care. But conservatives, some of them, the smart ones,
Speaker 1: didn't criticize me over the Officer Brailsford shooting in Arizona,
Speaker 1: which was just to me, it was just a murder
Speaker 1: caught on camera, and that was some you know, terrified,
Speaker 1: young young white guy who just got got blown away
Speaker 1: by two cops where they are fifteens in a hallway
Speaker 1: and because they were on a power trip. Right, I mean,
Speaker 1: so bad things happen, We get that. But what is
Speaker 1: the point of pretending that what's going on in Minneapolis
Speaker 1: is anything other than a cynical excuse for rage from
Speaker 1: groups of people who are very, very angry and you're
Speaker 1: responsible and in many cases hateful, right, Antifa is on
Speaker 1: the scene, pretend I'm sure they think this is somehow
Speaker 1: a Trump thing. Right. But you know Antifa, which is
Speaker 1: largely you know, white suburban liberals wearing you know, black
Speaker 1: face bandanas and masks and things like this and running
Speaker 1: around causing mayhem. And there are locals, many of whom
Speaker 1: you can see from the videos that are circulating, who
Speaker 1: are African American, who are destroying things and looting things.
Speaker 1: And you know, so there are a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: bad actors at work here. But we should all be
Speaker 1: united in just the condemnation of this. And yet Don Lemon,
Speaker 1: who is you know, a guy that really understands, you know,
Speaker 1: the sense of things on the street anywhere, never mind
Speaker 1: the street in Minneapolis. Yeah, he's really in He's really
Speaker 1: in touch with what it's like for struggling, struggling folks
Speaker 1: out there. Lives in a multimillion dollar mansion on the
Speaker 1: Upper West Side, has a mansion in Bridge I think
Speaker 1: it's Bridgehampton or sag Harbor. Very very fancy in a
Speaker 1: multimillion dollar home there. Yeah, really tough for him. You know,
Speaker 1: he's really in the he's in the struggle. You know,
Speaker 1: Don Lemon understands the economic and financial struggles of folks
Speaker 1: and he but he wants to tell you why people
Speaker 1: are rioting. Let's go to Don Lemon and CNN seeing
Speaker 1: it in such a trash heat play sixteen. If you
Speaker 1: read some of what people are saying, and if you
Speaker 1: watch some of conservative media, you would think people are
Speaker 1: mourning a target when you look at the pictures and
Speaker 1: what they are focusing on. Okay, so people should not
Speaker 1: be rioting. Do you understand what is behind that rioting?
Speaker 1: People should not be looting? Do you understand what's behind
Speaker 1: that looting? Do you have as much outrage for that
Speaker 1: or for a man on the ground with a police
Speaker 1: officer with his knee on his neck for eight nine minutes?
Speaker 1: What are you more outraged by? What matters? More? As
Speaker 1: you said, a highly insured store. No one wants to
Speaker 1: lose their business. Don't get me wrong, and don't twist
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. There's all there's nuance, and I know
Speaker 1: people will say, oh, well, don't say that I'm encouraging riding.
Speaker 1: I'm not encouraging riding. I'm trying to explain to you
Speaker 1: what is going on there. Only sounds like he's looking
Speaker 1: for some rationalization for it. Do I understand what? What
Speaker 1: you know? Maybe we could interview some of the rioters
Speaker 1: and the looters. Why are you doing this because we're upset?
Speaker 1: What about this store? What does the store do to you?
Speaker 1: What do the AutoZone do to you? What do this
Speaker 1: sporting goods store or the Target or whatever it is
Speaker 1: that you're loo What does that place do to you?
Speaker 1: And why do you think breaking the windows, the doors
Speaker 1: and stealing private property? Why do you think that's in
Speaker 1: any way helpful or even symbolic in a way that
Speaker 1: is useful? Did you any want to ask them that question?
Speaker 1: Didn't want to try to come up with an answer? Then,
Speaker 1: of course, what is the rage behind all this? Is
Speaker 1: Minneapolis such a horrible place, so oppressive, no one can
Speaker 1: go outside. You know, we've been through real tyranny from
Speaker 1: law enforcement here for months and there's been not really,
Speaker 1: you know, all that much outrage about it. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, people telling you you can't leave your home.
Speaker 1: That actually feels like tyranny. So those who suffer, specifically
Speaker 1: from an incident like George Floyd, I can understand, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it's horrific that cop, based on what we've seen,
Speaker 1: should go to prison for a very long time. Everyone's
Speaker 1: saying that, But other people just get to say, well,
Speaker 1: I'm angry too, I'm gonna go break things. Nope, it's unacceptable.
Speaker 1: You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Weakness is refusing to take responsibility for your
Speaker 1: own actions. Weakness is pointing your finger at somebody else
Speaker 1: during a time of crisis. Donald Trump knows nothing about
Speaker 1: the strength of Minneapolis. We are strong as hell. Is
Speaker 1: this a difficult time period, yes, but you'd better be
Speaker 1: damned sure that we're gonna get through this. Uh. This
Speaker 1: guy's in no position to be pointing fingers than anybody
Speaker 1: about weakness or strength right now. He called off his
Speaker 1: law enforcement officers. He called off his cops from defending
Speaker 1: their precinct. I mean, how many of you if people
Speaker 1: are running at your home with a Molotov cocktail, would
Speaker 1: you say, Oh, it's just a building. I'm gonna let
Speaker 1: it go. I'm gonna I'm gonna No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Not this audience. Cops all armed. They just let them
Speaker 1: burn their their precinct, the third precinct the Minneapolis burned
Speaker 1: down to the ground, and the mayor thinks he's anything
Speaker 1: other than an appalling just joke. It's not funny though,
Speaker 1: of course, thanks for listening to the bus Sex and
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. We're going to see
Speaker 1: the president resort to his We're going to see the
Speaker 1: President resort to his typical techniques of sewing this kind
Speaker 1: of chaos and division, as you mentioned, using the word thugs,
Speaker 1: you know, calling out these protesters. And by the way,
Speaker 1: the President's been late on this situation all week long,
Speaker 1: late to react to the video of what happened in Minneapolis,
Speaker 1: late to react to the protests and the and the unrest.
Speaker 1: You know, we are far past the point where the
Speaker 1: president should be weighing in for the first time on
Speaker 1: these matters. Clearly, the situation's out of control and parts
Speaker 1: of Minneapolis, the city of Minneapolis, is doing a very
Speaker 1: bad job communicating with its own residence right now. Of course,
Speaker 1: under the cover of darkness, we don't know everything that's happening,
Speaker 1: but it is clear there are fires and looted stores
Speaker 1: and broken wind and other disturbances in multiple neighborhoods of
Speaker 1: Minneapolis right now. We'll have to wait until sunrise get
Speaker 1: the full picture. In mid all of this, you have
Speaker 1: to wonder, if you live in Minneapolis right now, do
Speaker 1: you feel any better seeing the President of the United
Speaker 1: States talk the way he's talking on Twitter. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: wager no, Michael, but let's see what the residence of
Speaker 1: Minneapolis say in the morning. I'm really sorry to tab
Speaker 1: that you had to listen to bribe Stelter for such
Speaker 1: a long time. Some of you may have felt your
Speaker 1: estrogen levels rise and spontaneously felt a little bit sick
Speaker 1: in the in the tub tub that. Yeah, I'm sorry, guys,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't we went a little long there. I sent
Speaker 1: that's on me. I sent the clip to a producer Mark,
Speaker 1: So you know, sometimes I forget that. I can't subject
Speaker 1: you to too much Stelter. I'm trying. I need to
Speaker 1: protect your ears, I need to protect your your minds.
Speaker 1: That Jeff Zucker said this, So I said, okay, mister
Speaker 1: Zucker or whatever you'd tell me. Oh, the worst really,
Speaker 1: really and so many ways is the absolute worst host
Speaker 1: on certainly the worst host at CNN. I don't know
Speaker 1: if we could say all Cable News. Um. So so
Speaker 1: there's that, uh, there is that indeed. Um Now let's
Speaker 1: get into where this all goes from here. Uh, let's
Speaker 1: see where this goes the pro Oh wait, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, well, what's gonna happen in Minniapolis?
Speaker 1: But who hold on? I got I got stuck. I
Speaker 1: got stuck in the Zuck the Zucker conversation. Uh um,
Speaker 1: But let's let's talk about because you know Zucker Selter,
Speaker 1: they're they're ruining CNN. I mean, Selter's just a little
Speaker 1: little hatchet man. But Jeff Zucker has has destroyed the
Speaker 1: reputation whatever it was, of the the cable news network.
Speaker 1: You know, I listened to the old days from back
Speaker 1: in the old days, and I think they brought it
Speaker 1: back where they had James Earl Jones, one of the greatest.
Speaker 1: And I'm somebody who really spends a lot of time
Speaker 1: thinking about voices because I think it matters. You know,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna spend a lot of time, you know,
Speaker 1: let's end it literally high terrible voice, you're yelling on it.
Speaker 1: That's no fun, right, you don't want to do that.
Speaker 1: Why would you do that? That's that's brutalizing your ears.
Speaker 1: To listen to radio hosts who sound like that. So
Speaker 1: I'm somebody who cares about one's voice when you're listening,
Speaker 1: and James Earl Jones has one of the greatest voices
Speaker 1: of all time, and he does that. This is I
Speaker 1: can't even I'm not even gonna pretend to do it,
Speaker 1: because it's his version is so much better than anyone
Speaker 1: that I could do. But this is CNN. You know,
Speaker 1: it did. It was always liberal, but it used to
Speaker 1: be an organization that at least felt some obligation to
Speaker 1: pretend it could show respect or at least platform the
Speaker 1: other side a little bit into me. And now that's
Speaker 1: that's all gone, and that's all just a complete joke.
Speaker 1: And that's why I mean the focus here from Stelter
Speaker 1: that a Trump is so slowly the process that a
Speaker 1: Trump is it, Hold on a second, how is Donald
Speaker 1: Trump slow? I just had the president interview and and
Speaker 1: we we talked about this and he's like, it's a
Speaker 1: horrible situation. And by the way, I'll agree with you.
Speaker 1: You know why I can't do Trump impressions because I
Speaker 1: have too much respect for the man. And that's it's
Speaker 1: just it's my heart's not in it. That's the problem.
Speaker 1: My heart's not because everyone else I've been able to
Speaker 1: get a look at my Cuomo that's come out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: People love the Cuomo in presidentation. Why why? It is
Speaker 1: a little bit like Christopher Walkin. But it's it's like
Speaker 1: if Christopher Walkin was kind of more thuggish and dumb.
Speaker 1: Oh thuggish, you're you're not allowed to say. And by
Speaker 1: the way, I don't I think chrisoph walking is probably
Speaker 1: a nice guy. But you can't say thug. We've seen
Speaker 1: that again from Stelton. Are the president fash thugs? We're
Speaker 1: gonna do this again. We're gonna do this again. We're
Speaker 1: gonna pretend that there are words that we can't use
Speaker 1: to describe. If if someone who is a white ANTIFA
Speaker 1: member runs up to US store and breaks in the
Speaker 1: window and throws in a Moltiv cocktail, that person can
Speaker 1: be accurately described as a thug. If an African American
Speaker 1: runs into a store with you know, a bandana on
Speaker 1: his face or around his face and steals something after
Speaker 1: breaking the window, that person can be referred to as
Speaker 1: a thug. A thug is a reference irrespective of one's
Speaker 1: ethnic background, or religion or anything else. It's it's a
Speaker 1: reference to bad conduct and it is applicable across the board.
Speaker 1: And this is also where for those of you, in
Speaker 1: case you do not know, the word thug has a
Speaker 1: very interesting derivation. It comes from the period of British
Speaker 1: colonial rule in India. So if anyone should be upset
Speaker 1: about the usage of the term thug, you would think
Speaker 1: it would be Indians, and I mean that in the
Speaker 1: proper sense of people from South Asia, Indians who have
Speaker 1: had this term appropriated from the original Hindu thugi and
Speaker 1: it referred to a death cult. And for those of
Speaker 1: you that are wondering, what do we know about this
Speaker 1: death cauld And though the word initially meant one who
Speaker 1: was a one who engaged in deception, and they were
Speaker 1: a strangulation cult during the period of the British of
Speaker 1: the British control of India, and the Brits actually got
Speaker 1: rid of them in the in the nineteenth century. The
Speaker 1: Brits tracked them down and they they worshiped a god
Speaker 1: of death. I believe, I actually don't remember the name
Speaker 1: of the god of death. But if you've seen Indiana
Speaker 1: Jones and the Temple of Doom, that group that does
Speaker 1: the you know, we must drink the blood of the
Speaker 1: Kalima and all that stuff, right, and the guy like
Speaker 1: rips the heart out of the chest, and the flame
Speaker 1: pit and all that. The lava pit not well flames lava.
Speaker 1: Indiana Jones. The Temple of Doom, I think is clearly
Speaker 1: the worst of the Indiana Jones. There's only three movies
Speaker 1: in the trilogy. If you tell me Shia La buff
Speaker 1: was in an Indiana Jones movie, you have you have
Speaker 1: made a mistake. We just we just wave our hand
Speaker 1: and say, no, there was no Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Speaker 1: Do you agree with me, Producer Mark, that the Temple
Speaker 1: of Doom is the worst of the three? Oh? Yes,
Speaker 1: I do agree with that. See, I like what I
Speaker 1: can get Producer Mark to actually agree with me on things.
Speaker 1: I won't ask you if if Raiders of Last Ark
Speaker 1: or Last Crusade is the best, because I think that's
Speaker 1: a tough call. I think it's a little bit like saying,
Speaker 1: you know who who wins in a fight? Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Wolverine or the Incredible Hulk. Call, I guess probably the
Speaker 1: Incredible Hulk, right, The Hulk wins that one? Right? Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is some of the I'm just this is a
Speaker 1: total digression, but it's Friday, so I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: allowed to have digressions. Some of the Avengers, I feel
Speaker 1: like they're true superheroes, and some of them, I'm like,
Speaker 1: why is this person that's superhero? You know, there's like
Speaker 1: a there's a guy who's got like a metal wings
Speaker 1: he flies around with him on or whatever. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you're a superhero. You're a guy that has really cool
Speaker 1: military equipment. I don't know if that makes you and
Speaker 1: the other guy who's really good with the bow and arrow.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I've I've actually fired many many a bow
Speaker 1: and arrow, and you'd much rather have a gun. I
Speaker 1: can tell you that, right, I don't really have guns
Speaker 1: in the in the Marvel Cinematic universe. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: a laser then or something like that. And the reason
Speaker 1: I think you're referring to iron Man with the wings
Speaker 1: and no, no, no, no, no, no, iron Man's cool,
Speaker 1: Tony Stark is a great iron Man would literally be
Speaker 1: the definition of somebody who doesn't technically have superhowers. He
Speaker 1: built it, but his suit is really cool. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the guy. I think his name is Falcon. No,
Speaker 1: his name's Escaping Men's and not Falcon. No, it's not
Speaker 1: a producer. Nick might weigh in here, but it's anyway,
Speaker 1: he's I saw him and went to Soldiers See producer.
Speaker 1: Mark convinced me to actually watch some of these movies.
Speaker 1: I watched win Her Soldier's Hawkeye Hawkeye hawk Eye. Oh no,
Speaker 1: that's the bow and arrow guy. Yeah, Falcon is the
Speaker 1: guy with the wings. I'm right, Falcon is the guy
Speaker 1: with the wings, hawk eyes, the guy with the bow
Speaker 1: hawk eyes, the guy couldn't remember. Yeah, I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: you run around with a bow. You got like monster
Speaker 1: alien people that are blowing up worlds in space, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna send the dude after them with a bow
Speaker 1: and arrow. I mean, is he gonna like crawl up
Speaker 1: a tree, stand first, and you know, put out some
Speaker 1: make sure he's got the right camo on. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a surch I mean, it's like extreme bone arrow.
Speaker 1: It's like bone arrow with superpowers. Yeah. I don't know
Speaker 1: about that. And it's it's supposed to not be realistic.
Speaker 1: It's a superhero movie. I just I just hope that
Speaker 1: the uh, the Motor City Madman doesn't hear me talking
Speaker 1: smack about bow and arrows. For superheroes. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: like Buck, I'll show you we can do with a
Speaker 1: bow and arrow. Um. Anyway, so where I completely derailed
Speaker 1: us here for a second. Oh so I'm making fun
Speaker 1: of Brian Stelterer thug cult Indiana Jones Temple of Doom
Speaker 1: if you didn't know, that's where that's believed to where
Speaker 1: it comes from. Yeah, they used to strangle people travelers
Speaker 1: in the side of the road and they believe that
Speaker 1: it was for their their god of death, and it was.
Speaker 1: They're really a bad bunch. Some estimates where they killed
Speaker 1: up to I think it was a million people over
Speaker 1: the course of the nineteenth century, So bad stuff. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Thug is not a racist term, and they're going to
Speaker 1: say that, They're going to pretend that this is now
Speaker 1: just because they want to. Look. The media benefits, The
Speaker 1: left wing Democrat media benefits from narratives of racial division
Speaker 1: because they position themselves the people who have the platforms,
Speaker 1: who work for the legacy media outlets, They position themselves
Speaker 1: as the truth tellers. They positioned themselves as the not
Speaker 1: racist people, of course, and they are also by all
Speaker 1: of their acts of you know, on air penance they're
Speaker 1: addressing their their own For the ones who are white,
Speaker 1: they're addressing their white privilege in real time on TV.
Speaker 1: This is you know the problem with with so much
Speaker 1: of this is that I can assure you this will
Speaker 1: all lead to nothing but destruction and angst and misery,
Speaker 1: and then we'll be forgotten. It's just a question now
Speaker 1: of how large the toll is, what the cost really
Speaker 1: ends up being, and hopefully no one loses their lives
Speaker 1: in the protest that will come. But this expression of rage,
Speaker 1: as they're calling it, does not result in better policies,
Speaker 1: does not result in the police doing their jobs differently,
Speaker 1: because there's always going to be the possibility of one
Speaker 1: bad officer. There's always going to be someone who is
Speaker 1: evil who in any organization. They're evil people in media,
Speaker 1: I guess start naming some names people. Now, they haven't
Speaker 1: killed anybody that I know of. Well, let me think
Speaker 1: about that. Well, yeah, they haven't killed anybody that I
Speaker 1: know of. But they're bad human beings and that's never
Speaker 1: going to change. So if you have this expression of
Speaker 1: outrage and you don't have some ask or request or
Speaker 1: demand or however you want to phrase it, you know,
Speaker 1: what do you want to go differently. Here, this guy
Speaker 1: is facing charges. He will likely spend the rest of
Speaker 1: his life or close to it in a cell. No
Speaker 1: cop that I've heard talking about this has said anything
Speaker 1: other than this is terrible and awful. And a lot
Speaker 1: of us watching that video of George Floyd, we're thinking,
Speaker 1: if only I could have been there, maybe I could
Speaker 1: have convinced the officer in time, or maybe I could
Speaker 1: have even thrown myself into the scene and push the
Speaker 1: officer off him, just to get him en off air,
Speaker 1: to keep him alive. You get arrested for that, obviously,
Speaker 1: but it would have been that would have been the
Speaker 1: moral thing to do in those circumstances. That would have
Speaker 1: been righteous and courageous. That's that's how evil that action
Speaker 1: by that law enforcement officer was. You breaking the law
Speaker 1: to stop him would have been the righteous thing. But
Speaker 1: burning down the buildings of innocent people, the businesses, destroying property,
Speaker 1: throwing rocks and assaulting police officers who are just doing
Speaker 1: their jobs, throwing mollets off cocktails at them, that's unjust.
Speaker 1: It's immoral, and the media should speak with one voice
Speaker 1: and the condemnation of this and not do this whole
Speaker 1: game of well, sure, riots and looting is bad, but
Speaker 1: I can kind of understand why this is happening. And
Speaker 1: then oh, let's talk about the history of racism in
Speaker 1: the context and calling racism a public health emergency? What
Speaker 1: does that even mean? This is what libs have been doing. Now,
Speaker 1: what is that supposed to mean? It It doesn't even
Speaker 1: make It doesn't even make sense. How do we address
Speaker 1: that as a health emergency? This is something that people
Speaker 1: say because they believe it sounds good, but have put
Speaker 1: no thought into it beyond that initial impulse to virtue,
Speaker 1: virtue signal and of course to bash your perceived political opponents.
Speaker 1: That's what's going on here. No good will come of this.
Speaker 1: You're in the freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. I can't leave this out. There's something that
Speaker 1: came up last night in the midst of all of
Speaker 1: this just noise and the mess and everything we're seeing
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, something was said that I think raised a
Speaker 1: lot of eyebrows. You have the Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman,
Speaker 1: who was talking about the George Floyd video. Now, now
Speaker 1: up to this point, one aspect of this crisis, and
Speaker 1: it is a crisis when you have over a hundred
Speaker 1: businesses destroyed, burned down. You've got police letting a police precinct,
Speaker 1: and think about the message that sends to bad guys
Speaker 1: all over the country. Right the police preescinct gets burned
Speaker 1: down to the grounds. There's obvious, an obvious crisis happening here.
Speaker 1: But all along we've been thinking this will be dealt
Speaker 1: with by the judicial system in a way where there
Speaker 1: will be punishment for those who killed George Floyd. Here's
Speaker 1: something I can't really imagine what, but here is what
Speaker 1: the Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman said of the video
Speaker 1: and some other unspecified stuff Place six. I think part
Speaker 1: of the problem is, Sir, the dal goes on for
Speaker 1: seven minutes. He is clearly struggling to breathe during that time.
Speaker 1: And I think people will be hard for us to
Speaker 1: understand how you can't bring charges, at least against the
Speaker 1: officer who had his knee on that man's neck. It's
Speaker 1: a violation of my ethics to talk and evaluate evidence
Speaker 1: before we announce our charging decision, and I will not
Speaker 1: do that. I will say this that that video is
Speaker 1: graphic and horrific and terrible, and no person should do that.
Speaker 1: But my job in the end is to prove that
Speaker 1: he violated a criminal statute. And there is other evidence
Speaker 1: that does not support a criminal charge. We need to
Speaker 1: wait through all of that evidence to come through a
Speaker 1: immediate meaningful determination, and we are doing that to the
Speaker 1: best of our ability. You heard it, and this was
Speaker 1: I mean, if this becomes what it sounds like, it
Speaker 1: could be where there's a real debate over the possible
Speaker 1: criminality of the officer here, I'm not saying we're there.
Speaker 1: Do not consumer misunderstand what I'm saying. But if we
Speaker 1: get to that. You know, with Eric Garner, for example,
Speaker 1: he had a heart condition. The takedown itself, you know,
Speaker 1: they didn't see he didn't sit there and strangle him
Speaker 1: for eight minutes. The guy took him down around the neck.
Speaker 1: And then Garner, as he was arrested, had had cardiac arrest.
Speaker 1: That's not the same thing as as strangling somebody over
Speaker 1: a course of minutes as they're screaming that you know
Speaker 1: that they aren't able to breathe. It's not the same, right,
Speaker 1: But what is he referring to here with evidence that
Speaker 1: does not support a criminal charge. I don't know. The
Speaker 1: only speculation I could have here, and this is speculation.
Speaker 1: I do not have any evidence of this would be
Speaker 1: perhaps there was an underlying medical condition that was exacerbated
Speaker 1: by the knee on the neck. However, even in that circumstance,
Speaker 1: it would seem to me that a knee on the
Speaker 1: neck is excessive force, and if that excessive force continuously
Speaker 1: in this context leads to death, it's still manslaughter. But
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what this county attorney is referring to with
Speaker 1: evidence that does not support Maybe he just meant that
Speaker 1: in a very generic you know, we have to look
Speaker 1: at all the evidence and maybe evidence, but it sounded
Speaker 1: to me like he was suggesting there might be something
Speaker 1: else we'll have to see. But if that's the case,
Speaker 1: this thing is going to get really intense. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe
Speaker 1: on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. All right, everybody, we are joined by Congressman
Speaker 1: Matt Gates from down in Florida. He's also the host
Speaker 1: of the Hot Takes podcast with Matt Gates. Congressman, great
Speaker 1: to have you on the show, sir, Oh thanks so much, Buck,
Speaker 1: and I think The last time I saw you in person,
Speaker 1: you were hosting the television show Rising here in Washington, DC.
Speaker 1: It was like December eighteenth, twenty eighteen. Democrats had just
Speaker 1: taken power. You asked me on the show what I
Speaker 1: thought would be the principle objective during the during their
Speaker 1: time and control of the House of Representatives. I predicted,
Speaker 1: regardless of the facts, regardless of the rationale or basis,
Speaker 1: that the real agenda of Democrats would be impeachment. And
Speaker 1: we made all kinds of news back then, Buck, We
Speaker 1: got all kind of news stories written up about that
Speaker 1: interview that a Republican was predicting impeachment that early. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: that turned out to be correct in that it was
Speaker 1: just a totally delegitimizing effort from start to finish. But
Speaker 1: it's good to be back with you. Hopefully we'll break
Speaker 1: some more news, absolutely, man, and I recall this so
Speaker 1: good for you on being right. And fortunately the president
Speaker 1: weathered the storm of that sham impeachment quite well. But nonetheless,
Speaker 1: now we're in the midst of this coronavirus epidemic and
Speaker 1: really the response epidemic too. I mean, what the government
Speaker 1: has done in some places, you know, I want to
Speaker 1: you said, you're taking victory lab. It feels for a
Speaker 1: lot of us. I'm up here in New York City,
Speaker 1: like Florida gets to take, and the governor there and
Speaker 1: the folks in charge get to take a bit of
Speaker 1: a victory lab too, in terms of being really the
Speaker 1: model for how to handle this and how to reopen
Speaker 1: I just want to know, what have you seen in
Speaker 1: your home state? Why did it work out so well?
Speaker 1: Relatively speaking, of course, Yeah, the biggest difference is that
Speaker 1: some governors followed the news cycle and other governors followed
Speaker 1: the evidence. Ron de Santis made a series of really
Speaker 1: good choices as the governor of Florida that resulted in
Speaker 1: a lower intubation rate, the hospitalization rate, and death rate. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the actual choices made by folks like Governor Cuomo in
Speaker 1: New York really put vulnerable people at risk. You're in Florida.
Speaker 1: We didn't discharge people from the hospital with potential coronavirus
Speaker 1: back into nursing homes and long term care facilities. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of senior citizens in Florida. We're
Speaker 1: sort of God's waiting room down in the Sunshine State,
Speaker 1: and it has helped our people to not be so
Speaker 1: I guess overly just you know, responsive to the calls
Speaker 1: for eighty thousand ventilators and entirely new hospitals built. There's
Speaker 1: also some specific things we're doing in Florida that are
Speaker 1: helping us snuff out some of these hotspots. We're doing
Speaker 1: sentinel testing, we're doing surveillance testing, or instead of just
Speaker 1: waiting around for a problem to emerge, we're actually trying
Speaker 1: to figure out, you know, as it's happening, where we
Speaker 1: can deploy the most resources. So our governor stopped flights
Speaker 1: in from New York. He stopped some of those throw
Speaker 1: folks from Louisiana from coming over and going to the
Speaker 1: beach in my beautiful district for a while. I think
Speaker 1: that that type of an evidence based approach has been
Speaker 1: more effective than you know, like the daily press conferences,
Speaker 1: but also rapidly rising daily death tolls in places like
Speaker 1: New York. Speaking of Congress in Matt and Gates, a
Speaker 1: Florida also a host of the Hot Takes podcast, Congressman,
Speaker 1: what do you think about the stages that we're in
Speaker 1: right now for the reopening and what needs to happen
Speaker 1: at the congressional level. I mean, you know, Congress has passed,
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of spending going on. Some of
Speaker 1: it understandable, some of it seems a little more suspect.
Speaker 1: What needs to happen to get the economy back into
Speaker 1: You know that the President just spoke to me earlier
Speaker 1: about the transition to greatness. You know, we had him
Speaker 1: on the show. So how do how do we get there?
Speaker 1: And what's Congress's role in that given where we are
Speaker 1: right now. Well, first, I'll say it is quite something.
Speaker 1: How much as a fan of yours, the president is
Speaker 1: sometimes I'll just wake up and it'll be like thirty
Speaker 1: four Buck Sexton retweets from the President, So obviously you're
Speaker 1: making an impact, and he's a big fan of the show.
Speaker 1: I will say that when you pour nine trillion dollars
Speaker 1: on into the economy, as we've done through appropriating funds
Speaker 1: and FED policy, that is a shock to any system,
Speaker 1: right and we hope it sort of shocks us back
Speaker 1: into a vibrant economy like we had prior to this
Speaker 1: terrible coronavirus. The expectation I have is that it will
Speaker 1: take some time to get that properly deployed I don't
Speaker 1: think that we just, you know, immediately snap back. I
Speaker 1: think that there's going to be that transitionary period, and
Speaker 1: I think one of the most important things we can
Speaker 1: do is past sensible liability reforms. You know, right now,
Speaker 1: there are some businesses who are concerned about the cadre
Speaker 1: of lawyers assembling to feed off of this novel circumstance
Speaker 1: that none of us have ever encountered before, and so
Speaker 1: by having some reasonable liability reform, I think that helps
Speaker 1: us get open and rolling again. And ultimately, if there
Speaker 1: is no amount of fit policy or spending from the government,
Speaker 1: that can in and of itself restore consumer confidence. If
Speaker 1: you think about it Againting of the Trump presidency, what
Speaker 1: really was the touchstone of this energized economy was rising
Speaker 1: investor confidence, rising consumer confidence, the belief that it if
Speaker 1: people made these investments, that ultimately they would see a
Speaker 1: return on those investments. And I think that that that
Speaker 1: just is going to be somewhat of a gradual process
Speaker 1: before we get to a vaccine now. Also, the President
Speaker 1: signed an executive order having to do with social media
Speaker 1: platforms and saying essentially, if they don't act as neutral platforms,
Speaker 1: that they're going to engage in speech policing, there will
Speaker 1: be consequences, and people are now learning Congressman Gates about
Speaker 1: this section two thirty and publisher versus platform and laws
Speaker 1: that affect whether or not you're liable for what's posted
Speaker 1: on your side. Can you just give us I mean,
Speaker 1: you sit on the Antitrust committee in Congress. Okay, can
Speaker 1: you tell us what's really going on here? I mean,
Speaker 1: what's at the heart of this fight over Twitter and
Speaker 1: Facebook and the bias and the pushback against it. We
Speaker 1: know there's bias, So what's going on with the fight
Speaker 1: against it. Yeah, let's start with two truths. Big tech
Speaker 1: is biased against conservatives. I think that's been well evidence. Second,
Speaker 1: big tech buys off Congress. I mean they've got multiple
Speaker 1: tech lobbyists for every member of the United States Senate.
Speaker 1: And as a consequence of the outsized power that they
Speaker 1: have with the Congress, do their donations if I don't
Speaker 1: take and by the way, I don't take any federal
Speaker 1: pack donations. I find the whole thing a bit unseemly.
Speaker 1: But what big tech is done is they've carved out
Speaker 1: a special protection in the law that the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show doesn't get. That CNN and Fox News don't get
Speaker 1: that my post task hot Takes with my Gates doesn't get,
Speaker 1: and that protection allows them to hold themselves out as
Speaker 1: a neutral, unbiased platform and then not be liable for
Speaker 1: the content, or the meteor ring or the suppression of
Speaker 1: people's views. And I believe that if technology companies want
Speaker 1: that special benefit provided by the government, it has to
Speaker 1: be lashed to some transparency. You like, we should not
Speaker 1: just accept as an article of faith that Twitter is fair,
Speaker 1: or Facebook or really any other platform right. They should
Speaker 1: have to prove it. They should have to open the
Speaker 1: kimono a little bit and demonstrate that there isn't suppression
Speaker 1: or viewpoint. And for all of the libertarian think goes
Speaker 1: out there, who would say, well, that's regulating a private
Speaker 1: company that my answer would be that we as the government,
Speaker 1: when we create a special carve out, we depart from
Speaker 1: the type of free market practices that ought to animate
Speaker 1: our First Amendment values. So I'm glad that the President
Speaker 1: is going right at the specific immunities that allow big
Speaker 1: tech to suppress conservatives. But we also need the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice to get engaged by enforcing our anti trust laws.
Speaker 1: And I would suggest we need the Federal Election Commission engaged. Today,
Speaker 1: I'm filing a Federal Election Commission complaint against Twitter because
Speaker 1: of the way that they've treated President Trump, and any
Speaker 1: voter can do that. I would encourage others to do
Speaker 1: that because when they disadvantage the president is a corporate
Speaker 1: contribution to a campaign, and that's illegal, and it would
Speaker 1: be a contribution that exceeds the limits when you look
Speaker 1: at the value that the Twitter platform provides. Do you
Speaker 1: think that some of these mega companies in social media,
Speaker 1: Congressman Gates, do you think that they should be broken up?
Speaker 1: I mean, are they monopolies? You're a guy who knows antitrust.
Speaker 1: I don't think you can paint them all at the
Speaker 1: same brush. I am very concerned about some of the
Speaker 1: information we found in our bipartisan investigation of Amazon that
Speaker 1: they like, well literally on board some small business selling
Speaker 1: the widget onto their platform. Then they'll steal the ip,
Speaker 1: send it off to China and get the same widget
Speaker 1: replicated at a lower price to put perhaps an American
Speaker 1: small business out of business. That would be the very
Speaker 1: definition of using your market size and power to try
Speaker 1: to hurt people. And so if there's stuff like that
Speaker 1: going on, then yes, I do believe that there are
Speaker 1: antitrust tools in the law that allow us to break
Speaker 1: up a company like Amazon. If in fact that is evidence,
Speaker 1: then if in fact there's due process provided when it
Speaker 1: comes to the digital online platforms and the speech and communication.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not entirely sure that we have to
Speaker 1: go as far as breaking them up, but I certainly
Speaker 1: think we can use the tools and the law to
Speaker 1: require transparency and then to punish them when they do
Speaker 1: things like shadow band Republicans in Congress. I mean, you'll
Speaker 1: remember a buck. There were four Republicans shadow band during
Speaker 1: the Russia hoax, Devin Nudez, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, and
Speaker 1: Matt Gates, and like Twitter said, well that was just
Speaker 1: a bug in their system, Well it's one hell of
Speaker 1: a buck. There always seems to fight the conservative Republicans
Speaker 1: who backed the president. So when there are those events
Speaker 1: that reveal themselves, we ought to have tough consequences. Well,
Speaker 1: what are the tech liaisons that you deal with in
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill? I mean, you know, the people that represent
Speaker 1: these big companies when they're presented with this, how much
Speaker 1: we get a Congressman Matt Gates you should check out
Speaker 1: his podcast Hot Takes. Would you listen to whatever podcasts
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts? Congressman, what do they say?
Speaker 1: And it seems so apparent because there's never a prominent
Speaker 1: you know, Ilhan Omar has never been banned from Twitter
Speaker 1: or you know AOC or you know other people who
Speaker 1: are often pushing controversial points of view and are clearly
Speaker 1: highly political. It only happens on the right. Does Twitter
Speaker 1: or Facebook do they have some explanation that they offer
Speaker 1: up for this or is it just it's a coincidence.
Speaker 1: I found that it's very hard to shame the shameless book.
Speaker 1: We recently had one of those very Facebook liaisons before
Speaker 1: the House Judiciary Committee, and as you know, they were,
Speaker 1: they were talking about how fair and equal and just
Speaker 1: to their platform was, but they couldn't seem to answer
Speaker 1: my questions about why an account called like Milkshakes against
Speaker 1: Republicans was able to post that they wanted to see
Speaker 1: more Republicans shot during baseball practice as a consequence of
Speaker 1: our political views. I complained about that. I went to
Speaker 1: Twitter's headquarters and showed it to them, and it took
Speaker 1: them months to take down that post. And then I
Speaker 1: don't believe they ever even d platforms the account that
Speaker 1: said that Republicans should be shot at baseball practice. And
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, that's not like esoteric, that's not hypothetical.
Speaker 1: My friend and one of my mentors, Steep Scalie, was
Speaker 1: shot at baseball practice. And so I think that double
Speaker 1: standard is something that we have to continue to highlight
Speaker 1: in evidence. It's why I'm hopeful that the White House
Speaker 1: that the reports are true, that the White House is
Speaker 1: going to establish a commission to review specific instances of
Speaker 1: unfair bias against really against any political groups. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think we need to have a system in place
Speaker 1: that allows ideas to be criticized and evaluated, whether they're
Speaker 1: right wing, left wing, in the middle or whatever. And
Speaker 1: I think right now we just have a situation where, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want Washington run in my life,
Speaker 1: but I showed us I don't want to Silicon Valley run.
Speaker 1: Congressmen Matt Gates of Florida. Everyone check out his podcast,
Speaker 1: Hot Takes with Matt Gates, Congressman. Appreciate it. Come back
Speaker 1: any time, sir, Thanks Bluck, I appreciate it. Man. You're
Speaker 1: in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: It's Friday, which means it's time to have a bunch
Speaker 1: of our friends join us here in the Freedom Hunt,
Speaker 1: including of course, our buddy Jesse Kelly, whom we share
Speaker 1: a platform with on Pluto TV's the First and also
Speaker 1: we are on together down at KPRC Houston, wonderful radio
Speaker 1: station down there, mister Jesse Kelly, good to have you, sir.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be here back. I just want to say
Speaker 1: before we get going, man, I'm sorry that you were
Speaker 1: still stuck in your apartment in New York City. That sucks.
Speaker 1: I just I wanted to let you know we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to wrap this up in twenty or thirty minutes
Speaker 1: because I've got to go. Buddy's coming to pick me up,
Speaker 1: and we're going to the lake for the weekend. We're
Speaker 1: gonna spend the weekend at the lake and we're gonna
Speaker 1: be you know, down by the lake and swimming and
Speaker 1: fishing and all that. I mean, I know your weekend sucks,
Speaker 1: but I just I gotta get out of here and
Speaker 1: get to my fund. Wait, wait, hold on, you mean
Speaker 1: you don't have a bunch of hyper nervous, anxious libs
Speaker 1: walking around with masks like their life depends on the
Speaker 1: constant possession of that mask on their face all the time.
Speaker 1: And if you so much as get within fifty yards
Speaker 1: of them without a mask, you're you're a mass murderer.
Speaker 1: Without your mask, you don't have that. You know what
Speaker 1: we do out here in Texas. If you go to
Speaker 1: downtown Houston, so I work in downtown, almost everybody will
Speaker 1: be wearing a mask. However, to this day of not
Speaker 1: seeing a single person yell at another person for not
Speaker 1: wearing one, I've never been yelled at, and I don't
Speaker 1: wear one ever. But if you go to the suburbs,
Speaker 1: you can't find anyone with one. It's like five percent
Speaker 1: of the population will have a mask. On the different
Speaker 1: worlds between Texas and New York City. And you know,
Speaker 1: I love New York City. It's just it is. It's
Speaker 1: a stark difference. It is, indeed, sir. It's also I'm
Speaker 1: so angry that there's no movement in this city against
Speaker 1: the fact that we have really just a bunch of
Speaker 1: dumb asses in charge here, people that have been wrong
Speaker 1: at every step of this every stage. And I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know how how much longer. People that see
Speaker 1: the world with clear eyes. Mostly conservative, not entirely here,
Speaker 1: but mostly the conservatives that are in New York City.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they how they stay, but all right,
Speaker 1: let me let me get past that for I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna try to breathe, let it go that.
Speaker 1: You know, Jesse is gonna be out on the lake
Speaker 1: on a jet ski. I'm sure eating a tea bone
Speaker 1: steak without a mask across his face. I'm getting told
Speaker 1: that when my gym opens in about a month, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to wear a mask while working out. Just
Speaker 1: wait till someone that's the new rule. Someone is going
Speaker 1: to die of a heart attack on a treadmill because
Speaker 1: they were running with a mask. And idiot libs won't
Speaker 1: even be like, maybe we should rethink this, will say
Speaker 1: price you gotta pay to keep us safe with masks.
Speaker 1: That's how crazy they are. The mask has become this
Speaker 1: It's so much more than anything a mask actually does.
Speaker 1: It's become this symbol in people's minds where it's a
Speaker 1: symbol that you are listening to the doctors. It's a
Speaker 1: symbol you're keeping yourself safe. It's a symbol that you're
Speaker 1: keeping everyone else safe and nobody. Now we've we've way
Speaker 1: past this point where anybody is able to stop and
Speaker 1: actually think if it does any of that, or even
Speaker 1: listen to any of the other medical experts who say
Speaker 1: it doesn't at all. And I'm not saying whether it
Speaker 1: does or not. I'm not a doctor, but people do
Speaker 1: realize there are just as many doctors that say wearing
Speaker 1: the mask is ridiculous. Right, just because the all of
Speaker 1: society has decided that's the only way you can go,
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean it's the truth. And Jesse, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hold you up before you reackons it.
Speaker 1: Just we got about a minute. How is Texas doing
Speaker 1: now that you guys are reopened? Yeah, honestly, Black it's
Speaker 1: really really tough because we're not open all the way yet.
Speaker 1: But even though parts of it are some long established
Speaker 1: here in the Houston area, especially restaurants, I'm talking things
Speaker 1: that have been here for forty fifty years, they're closing
Speaker 1: their doors forever. And what's amazing as you see all
Speaker 1: these local news pun ins getting on news at night
Speaker 1: and saying I can't believe this, this is shocking. What
Speaker 1: did all you idiots think was going to happen when
Speaker 1: you forced them to close their doors for two months.
Speaker 1: Do you think restaurants just run on goodwill? Yes, we're
Speaker 1: losing people permanently, and now you're going to hear a
Speaker 1: lot of that. I'm shocked about this. You shouldn't be.
Speaker 1: I told you from the beginning, so did you. Buck. Yeah. Man,
Speaker 1: We've been saying it, and now people are seeing it.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we can all recover from this insanity in due time.
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly of Pluto TV's I'm Right with Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: also down on KPRC Houston, the best talk radio station
Speaker 1: in the Houston area, because Jesse Kelly and Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: are both on it. Jesse, Ma, man, have a great weekend.
Speaker 1: We're not going to keep you long today. Thank you
Speaker 1: for staying with us, dear brother. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts,
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm living in a crazy world here in
Speaker 1: New York, and it's true in a lot of places
Speaker 1: across the country. Now there's some consensus that has formed
Speaker 1: around certain issues that we're told they're rooted in the
Speaker 1: science and the facts, and it's just not true, just
Speaker 1: not the case. And to some of you, maybe, although
Speaker 1: I don't think many of you, I might have sounded
Speaker 1: a bit like a mask truther recently, like masks don't work.
Speaker 1: They work in certain contexts for certain things, and at
Speaker 1: a certain level. That is not the same thing as
Speaker 1: saying it is worth the hassle, the annoyance, the imposition
Speaker 1: of masking all places, all times outside your own home, right,
Speaker 1: that's not the same thing. And we know this because
Speaker 1: until now, and I mean until the last few weeks,
Speaker 1: nobody thought that in the midst of a pandemic you
Speaker 1: would have everybody going around walking wearing masks in this country.
Speaker 1: In other countries they've been doing it, and guess what,
Speaker 1: they've still have outbreaks of the disease. But in case
Speaker 1: you think that I'm just coming up with this and oh,
Speaker 1: you know, buck, what have you? All they do is
Speaker 1: read all day long. Basically, I read all day long.
Speaker 1: Producer marcs to like text me to remind me that,
Speaker 1: you know, I got to get up and actually do
Speaker 1: a show, and then I just keep reading and trying
Speaker 1: to do more research so I'm fortunate and that I
Speaker 1: can just deep dive into things every day however I want,
Speaker 1: whenever I want, and bring you the best information I
Speaker 1: can on everything. And a lot of the people that
Speaker 1: say science follow the science. Not only do they not
Speaker 1: know science, they don't read, they don't know anything, but
Speaker 1: they're just like to talk about the science. I do
Speaker 1: read a lot. I'm not a scientist. And one thing
Speaker 1: that I've noticed is that if you look for science
Speaker 1: on the issue of masks and the benefits of masking,
Speaker 1: you find very quickly that there really isn't a scientific
Speaker 1: consensus out there on the civilian population wearing masks as
Speaker 1: a means of preventing the transmission of an upper respiratory virus.
Speaker 1: And here we have, for example, a video put out
Speaker 1: what was this in February. This is now making the rounds,
Speaker 1: a video put out by the World Health Organization. So
Speaker 1: this was the if there is such a thing as
Speaker 1: a global medical consensus, which there really isn't. But if
Speaker 1: there was such a thing, one would think that the
Speaker 1: who would be representative of that consensus. And here's what
Speaker 1: they have as there directive for the public on the
Speaker 1: wearing of masks. Play clip three. Medical masks like this
Speaker 1: one cannot predict against the new coronavirus when used alone.
Speaker 1: When you wear them, you must combined with hand hygiene
Speaker 1: and untopreventive measures. WHO only recommends the use of mask
Speaker 1: in specific cases. If you have cough, fever, and difficulty breathing,
Speaker 1: you should wear a mask and seek medical care. If
Speaker 1: you do not have these symptoms, you do not have
Speaker 1: to wear masks because there is no evidence that they
Speaker 1: protect people who are not sick. However, if you are healthy,
Speaker 1: but you are taking care of a person who may
Speaker 1: be infected with the new coronavirus, then you should wear
Speaker 1: a mask whenever you are in the same room with
Speaker 1: that person. I just did you catch that? This is
Speaker 1: a public service public safety announcement from the World Health
Speaker 1: Organization during the coronavirus pandemic this year. That says, I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're healthy, wearing a mask is like not something
Speaker 1: you should do. What what has changed between then and now?
Speaker 1: What study have we seen? What has been shown to
Speaker 1: us that all of a sudden shifts the scientific insensus.
Speaker 1: The answer is nothing. The answer is that masks have
Speaker 1: just become an emotional crut sure people who are terrified
Speaker 1: all the time about going outside and facing the coronavirus,
Speaker 1: even though unless you're in a high risk category, this
Speaker 1: is not something that it is reasonable to be afraid of.
Speaker 1: And I understand some people are afraid of things an
Speaker 1: unreasonable fashion. Some people, you know, even at a clinical level,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a gooraphobia, and there's you know, there's
Speaker 1: a rachnophobia, and there's all these different What is it
Speaker 1: to trick adecaphobias? Fear of the number thirteen? Is that right?
Speaker 1: I think I got that one. I don't know why
Speaker 1: that one's stuck in my brain. But there's all kinds
Speaker 1: of phobias, right, Fear irrational fear of something. People have
Speaker 1: developed coronaphobia, and they should not allow that to emotionally
Speaker 1: and psychologically cripple them and also be the rationalization in
Speaker 1: their mind for states, for states to do things that
Speaker 1: are violating their rights, are that are overreached by the authorities.
Speaker 1: We have far too easily and far too quickly succumbed
Speaker 1: to this, and I do find it very troubling. And
Speaker 1: that's the most polite way I can say it. There
Speaker 1: are other things that I would want to say about it.
Speaker 1: But so I want to be very clear when I
Speaker 1: tell you. When I say that I have skepticism about
Speaker 1: required masking in the lobby of my own apartment building,
Speaker 1: or in the gym where I want to work out,
Speaker 1: or outdoors in Central Park here in New York City,
Speaker 1: I'm pointing out that the science does not support these things,
Speaker 1: and in fact, the CDC, up until now, when all
Speaker 1: of a sudden the politics are driving this, would have said, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not you know, we're not really sure if you're in.
Speaker 1: And the reason that people in some of the healthcare
Speaker 1: settings are wearing masks is that there's such a higher
Speaker 1: probability that they'll be exposed to viral to a high
Speaker 1: viral load from a person and maybe in such close
Speaker 1: direct contact that their their spit or you know, they're
Speaker 1: the droplets from their mouth will be in physical contact
Speaker 1: with them that it's worth the imposition for medical people,
Speaker 1: people that are doctors and nurses to wear a mask.
Speaker 1: But for the rest of us, for the rest of us,
Speaker 1: this is it's a it's a political statement, and it's
Speaker 1: a psychological and it's emotional crutch for people. If if
Speaker 1: you walk through droplets in the air, remember these are
Speaker 1: micro droplets and you are breathing in air. The mask
Speaker 1: is not stopping the virus from Yeah, you're not. You're
Speaker 1: not stopping it from being from being exposed to it. Yo,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I did I say? Yo?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Sorry, Yo, I don't know where that
Speaker 1: came from. But what's up? Yo? But yes, you're not,
Speaker 1: you're not. And also people keep forgetting viruses can enter
Speaker 1: through your eyes. It's actually a very weak it's a
Speaker 1: weak spot in the immune system. It's a place where
Speaker 1: you can get all and that's why you know, touching her.
Speaker 1: People keep talking about touching your mouth. You touch your
Speaker 1: eye with virus and it's a very easy way for
Speaker 1: it to get into your bloodstream. So you know the sign.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the science all these nags. Why are
Speaker 1: you wearing a mask? It's not that big a cuomo
Speaker 1: wear a mask because if you don't wear a mask,
Speaker 1: you're literally a mass murderer because you're killing a lot
Speaker 1: of people. Why should you not kill people? Because killing people?
Speaker 1: This is where the governor of New York say, and
Speaker 1: guy's a moron. Some people figure out though this is
Speaker 1: all crap, This was great, This is great. You had
Speaker 1: this guy in Montgomery County, Maryland. It's a pretty fancy county,
Speaker 1: I think, if memory serves, and he is announcing the
Speaker 1: new stupid, the new dumb ass restrictions you have for
Speaker 1: this county for the reopening, and turns out some people
Speaker 1: don't really want to hear about this nonsense. Play clip seven.
Speaker 1: Childcare opens as the governor described, it's open for dependents
Speaker 1: of essential employees and Phase one reopening employees. And there
Speaker 1: are limits on the number of people who can be
Speaker 1: in the childcare. Again, these are Governor Hogan's recommendations. Personal services,
Speaker 1: hair salons and barbie shops open for hair only. No haircuts,
Speaker 1: no manicures, none of the uh, no pedicures, houses of
Speaker 1: houses of worship open. I think it's great. People are like, what,
Speaker 1: you can't get a hair cut, but you can get
Speaker 1: hair what hair color? Like? What are these arbitrary distinctions
Speaker 1: that these just abject morons in charge you're making? Well,
Speaker 1: what are they talking about? If you're in a place,
Speaker 1: you're in the place. Let people get the services they
Speaker 1: want in the place. This is not based in science.
Speaker 1: This is now just all fear and control. It's all crap.
Speaker 1: I have been right about this, you know it. I've
Speaker 1: been right about this for months now. All these people
Speaker 1: are telling, oh, we're a myth or you hate everybody,
Speaker 1: you're being reckless. They don't know what they're talking about.
Speaker 1: They don't read the studies. They don't know. And now
Speaker 1: that we're reopening, goal can reopen. But you know, if
Speaker 1: you're reopen a restaurant, you can order a ham sandwich,
Speaker 1: but not roast beef. What has that happened with? COVID nineteen?
Speaker 1: Shut up, peasant, Do as we tell you, or else
Speaker 1: we'll find you. Morons are in charge. Folks. Welcome to America.
Speaker 1: You're in the freedom hud. This is the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast, All right back by Team Buck popular demand.
Speaker 1: We have Tiana Lowe in the house. She is a
Speaker 1: commentary writer at The Washington Examiner and a contributor to
Speaker 1: Pluto TV's The First Channel two forty eight on your
Speaker 1: Pluto TV app, she joins now TIERA, tell me how
Speaker 1: is life down in Quarantine in DC? Last time I
Speaker 1: was there, it was even more of a ghost town
Speaker 1: than New York was. Yeah, I mean today we finally
Speaker 1: began our phase one of reopening, which is shockingly a
Speaker 1: lot less exciting than it sounds because the mayor of DC,
Speaker 1: you know, there have been all these crys from restaurant
Speaker 1: owners and bar owners just saying DC is a physically
Speaker 1: small city. Shut down some of the streets and let
Speaker 1: us go. Let restaurants put dining seats and dining tables
Speaker 1: in the streets, make them walking streets. But DC has
Speaker 1: been really slow to act. So when you think about
Speaker 1: small city, small physical restaurants, the number of them that
Speaker 1: can actually reopen and remain profitability, it's really small. If
Speaker 1: you only have a patio that can fit six tables
Speaker 1: that are all socially distanced, that's not enough to turn
Speaker 1: a profit if you're going to reopen. So I mean
Speaker 1: this is a cause for celebration, but quite frankly, the
Speaker 1: city should be bending over backwards trying to approve more
Speaker 1: liquor permits, approve more dining permits, make it so as
Speaker 1: many things can open up as possible. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you really, if you want to go get your nails
Speaker 1: done or get a haircut, you're better off just crossing
Speaker 1: the river and heading to Maryland or heading to Virginia.
Speaker 1: And I gotta ask D you have other really stupid
Speaker 1: rules like we do year in New York City when
Speaker 1: it comes to Deblasio. Our mayor here now has said
Speaker 1: one person at a time at the elevator, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: they're coming up with rules that no one is going
Speaker 1: to follow, Like, no one, only people that are terrified
Speaker 1: of this whole thing, which they shouldn't be. The stats
Speaker 1: are in the numbers. If you're under fifty, your risk
Speaker 1: from this is very, very very low. Do you guys
Speaker 1: have any dumb stuff like that going on? Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not even just that people won't follow them. It won't
Speaker 1: do anything to decrease the transmission of the coronavirus, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the things that DC is doing now. So
Speaker 1: you can go into a grocery store with a mask
Speaker 1: and socially distanced and buy your groceries. But you can't
Speaker 1: go to a Nordstrum to buy new genes. You can't
Speaker 1: go to a Sapphora to buy new makeup. These are
Speaker 1: all people who need to work and they need people
Speaker 1: physically in their stores in order to gain income. It's
Speaker 1: just you know, restaurants can open up outside, but bars can't.
Speaker 1: If bars don't serve three individually cooked meals bars can
Speaker 1: a new rule from the there. Our speed limit has
Speaker 1: been decreased to twenty miles an hour because that will
Speaker 1: absolutely inhabit the spread of the coronavirus. It makes no
Speaker 1: sense and it's honestly just petty authoritarianism run a lampit.
Speaker 1: And so we're seeing here too, and I don't know
Speaker 1: what it's going to take for people to you know,
Speaker 1: on the one hand, we have, based on Minneapolis, cities
Speaker 1: across the country that have nothing, that are obviously not Minneapolis,
Speaker 1: that are also seeing protests and you know, some violence
Speaker 1: in the streets, cops having to wrestle people to the ground,
Speaker 1: lots of stuff going on here. I'm I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit in shock about how much these cities, in these
Speaker 1: blue enclaves like New York have been willing to tolerate
Speaker 1: when we are we are ruled by idiots in New York,
Speaker 1: I mean de Blasio and Cuomo. Cuomo's nursing home policy,
Speaker 1: It's like he came up with the fastest way to
Speaker 1: infect the most at risk people possible and everyone still
Speaker 1: listens to them. I don't know what's going on. I mean,
Speaker 1: this whole thing has been a blacklight over just who
Speaker 1: are the worst sycophants in the media. The fact that
Speaker 1: Cuomo has been completely lionized. You know, studies now show
Speaker 1: that that New York had shut down about a week earlier,
Speaker 1: they could have prevented about fifty percent of all coronavirus
Speaker 1: deaths when you look back. So now people are saying
Speaker 1: the subway was probably the number one source of coronavirus
Speaker 1: transmission in New York. And even though Deblasio was trying
Speaker 1: to persecute people for growing outside, Cuomo never decided to
Speaker 1: shut down the subway. And ultimately the authority the MTA
Speaker 1: does rest with the state, not with the city. It
Speaker 1: is political malpractice that Cuomo has been held up as
Speaker 1: this hero. And especially if you want to look a
Speaker 1: good Democrats that have handled this crisis, California has ton
Speaker 1: of them. California does not have the same in like
Speaker 1: crazy death rate, crazy caseload rate. And yeah, on the
Speaker 1: one hand, most of California is more spread out than
Speaker 1: New York. But San Francisco's the second NSIS city in
Speaker 1: the country and they've had thirty six coronavirus deaths. Why
Speaker 1: because they have a mayor with a couple of brain
Speaker 1: cells to actually run together instead of dummy, build a Blasio.
Speaker 1: We're speaking of a Tiana Lowe, commentary writer for the
Speaker 1: Washington Examiner and also a contributor to the First on
Speaker 1: Pluto TV TA. Let's just move to the political scene
Speaker 1: for a second, and this I thought this pole was
Speaker 1: really interesting. Joe Biden. This is according to Newsweek, Joe
Speaker 1: Biden a week ago and the same Reuters IPSOS poll
Speaker 1: was up nine points, and now it turns out that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden as of this week is only up six points.
Speaker 1: What do you think is heading in the president's favor
Speaker 1: right now? And also how concerned should we be that
Speaker 1: a guy who like almost every day gives us a
Speaker 1: sound bite that is fantastic for radio because it's so
Speaker 1: hilarious and bizarre and it's like, mister McGoo, run a muck.
Speaker 1: How is he ahead of Trump in any of these
Speaker 1: battleground pole a national level polls? So right now, the
Speaker 1: goal of this election is to keep for Trump. It's
Speaker 1: to keep this election from being a referendum on Trump.
Speaker 1: That is one of the reasons why Trump did why
Speaker 1: Trump did win in twenty sixteen, because it wound up
Speaker 1: becoming a referendum on Hillary and on the Obama era,
Speaker 1: and that benefited Trump. Right now, Trump is the leader,
Speaker 1: so he's in the spotlight. You know, you are seeing
Speaker 1: his approval rating go down, But because negative partisanship is
Speaker 1: so strong, it has not really affected his presidential polling.
Speaker 1: And that's fundamentally what matters. A big factor I think
Speaker 1: the media doesn't want to address most voters pulled. There
Speaker 1: have only been a handful of polls about this, so
Speaker 1: we can't say it for a fact, but most voters
Speaker 1: polled believe the terror read allegation, and even if it's
Speaker 1: only a minority of those who believe her who will
Speaker 1: change their votes as a result, that's not insignificant. So
Speaker 1: we know that Biden is polling better with the college
Speaker 1: educated class than Hillary Clinton. He's doing better with older
Speaker 1: voters by a law, which should scare the Trump team,
Speaker 1: but he does not do well with young black voters.
Speaker 1: And we already know the black electorate. They're the bellweather
Speaker 1: of how well Democrats do. So even though yes, it
Speaker 1: was older black voters who saved him and saved his
Speaker 1: candidacy in South Carolina and crucially afterward, but it's more
Speaker 1: suburbanite moms who are turning out for Biden than young
Speaker 1: black voters, who are also very important in the politically
Speaker 1: active community. So I mean, the best thing that Trump
Speaker 1: is going for him is negative partisanship, even if you
Speaker 1: hate the tweets, even if you hate all of it.
Speaker 1: Right now, we're looking at what could be an immediate recovery,
Speaker 1: what could be a three year long recovery, with unemployment
Speaker 1: persisting into the double digits well into next year. Trump
Speaker 1: needs to sell Do you really want to hand the
Speaker 1: reins back over to the guy who was second in
Speaker 1: command during the longest economic recovery since World War Two?
Speaker 1: Fair point, Tiana Low, everybody of the Washington Examiner and
Speaker 1: contributor here at the first Tianna, thanks so much for
Speaker 1: joining him. A great weekend. Thanks Buck. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to the Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on
Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey,
Speaker 1: Team Buck, it's time for roll Call. Roll call everybody.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to it, shall we? Facebook dot
Speaker 1: com slash Buck Sexton, Team Bucket, iHeartMedia dot com. And
Speaker 1: we do have a fun Team Buck announcement to make,
Speaker 1: but I can't make it yet or else Producer Mark
Speaker 1: will put me in the penalty box. But there's something
Speaker 1: cool on the horizon. All right, all right, Mark, we
Speaker 1: can say something cool is coming. We always have cool
Speaker 1: things coming, that's true, but this one's especially cool. So
Speaker 1: this is kind of exciting. So let's let's see what
Speaker 1: we have here. We got first up in the mix. Well, actually,
Speaker 1: know before we go, what are producer Mark and missus
Speaker 1: Mark doing this week? And anything fun? How can we
Speaker 1: do anything fun? We're in the New York area. That's
Speaker 1: a good point. Well, aren't there isn't the Jersey Shore open?
Speaker 1: It's do you know how far the Jersey Shore is
Speaker 1: from like northern New Jersey. It's a couple hour drive.
Speaker 1: It's like an hour drive, not that bad. And I
Speaker 1: have to find parking, you know, and they it's all
Speaker 1: thing yeah, beach capacity too. What about you know, when
Speaker 1: you're on the Amtrak train, for example, or you're on
Speaker 1: ninety five and you start going through northern New Jersey,
Speaker 1: you know there's all those uh the meadow lands for example,
Speaker 1: or any of those like swimming holes you know, Yeah, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: go ahead and go swimming in the swamp. Buck. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying you probably could. There's a reason people say
Speaker 1: that New Jersey smells. That is the reason. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess that some of those chemical facilities that run off
Speaker 1: into those marsh areas might not be the most health full,
Speaker 1: you know. I would say that it's it's a lot
Speaker 1: of swamp land and then you see MetLife stadium. M
Speaker 1: good point. Rich. First up, it was great listening to
Speaker 1: your account of your meeting with our president on the radio.
Speaker 1: I really enjoy your show. I have to say the
Speaker 1: voice yesterday almost did take me back to her Elizabeth
Speaker 1: Warren impersonation. I'm originally a South Jersey river rat, grown
Speaker 1: up in Beverly on the river. Unfortunately, all my friends
Speaker 1: from childhood are Lib Dems and denounce our president at
Speaker 1: every turn. I lived in the great state of Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: where all my friends in the last for the last
Speaker 1: thirty years support our president. Oh, I guess he lives
Speaker 1: not lived. Thank you for meeting with our president, the
Speaker 1: greatest president of my life, now spanning sixty five years.
Speaker 1: Keep helping him keeping America great by keeping us informed
Speaker 1: to entertain Rich. Thank you very much for your kind
Speaker 1: and supportive note. We really do appreciate it. Here in
Speaker 1: the hut and I gotta get out to Oklahoma. Never
Speaker 1: never been in Oklahoma, never been like I got places
Speaker 1: I gotta go. I have places to go, people to see,
Speaker 1: things that do. Hopefully we can start doing that again
Speaker 1: when the country opens up a bit. Andy, Greetings from
Speaker 1: the MSP metro area. I'm appalled and deeply saddened by
Speaker 1: the last few days. I'm not a lifelong Minnesotan. As
Speaker 1: a result, it was initially quite disarming how nice people
Speaker 1: are here. It's a common practice, for example, during the winter,
Speaker 1: for people to leave their cars running keys in the
Speaker 1: ignition while they run into stores. There's a trust and
Speaker 1: sense of community that I feel here that I haven't
Speaker 1: felt in the multiple areas I've lived. People put up
Speaker 1: with the horrible weather and the cold because they love
Speaker 1: being here and raising their families here. I ask your
Speaker 1: listeners to please pray for our city and the broader
Speaker 1: metro area. Shields Hi, Andy, absolutely prayers up for prayers
Speaker 1: up for Minneapolis in Minnesota, and we are thinking about
Speaker 1: you all. And you know, I know that there are
Speaker 1: people listening right now who are on listening on KTLK
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. Saint Paul and our thoughts and prayers go
Speaker 1: out to all of you and just this will pass.
Speaker 1: This will be okay in the end. I mean, you'll
Speaker 1: be okay in the end. I'm just sorry what's going
Speaker 1: on with your city, because it's distressing. Over one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy business is either looted or attacked or destroyed,
Speaker 1: burned down. That's a lot. That's a lot of places.
Speaker 1: It feels like a whole neighborhood. Brian Buck, I have
Speaker 1: a real mask virtue signaling winner for you. I live
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire where we do not have helmet laws
Speaker 1: for motorcycles. So the other day my wife and I
Speaker 1: were out for a drive and I saw a real
Speaker 1: winner on a sport bike, shorts, sneakers, T shirt, no helmet,
Speaker 1: but he had a surgical mask on because you know
Speaker 1: that going seventy prior on the highway is a real
Speaker 1: at risk situation for COVID. I do like that a lot,
Speaker 1: I've got to say. I mean, yeah, if if you're
Speaker 1: gonna be going eighty on a Harley and you're not
Speaker 1: wearing a helmet, but you're gonna wear a surgical mask,
Speaker 1: you know you're a liberal at that point. You know
Speaker 1: you're a lib at that stage, What do you think,
Speaker 1: Producer Mark, Yeah, I mean just going on a motorbike
Speaker 1: or Harley or anything like that with that helmet. How
Speaker 1: dumb can you be? Yeah, I would not do that.
Speaker 1: In fact, I've never been on a motorcycle, so I
Speaker 1: haven't either that. Yeah, never been on one. I've been
Speaker 1: on one of those sort of you have, like a
Speaker 1: little kick kick start thing dirt bike in the country,
Speaker 1: so I guess that's calf. I've never been on an
Speaker 1: actual road, you know, on on a motorcycle. So I'm
Speaker 1: on our honeymoon in Jamaica. We wrote a TV so
Speaker 1: that was incredibly fun. ATVs are great. That's a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. Yeah, there's a place here where you can
Speaker 1: rent jet skis in New York City and go on
Speaker 1: the Hudson River. I'd like to look into that actually,
Speaker 1: because I've another another fun fact about Buck. I've never
Speaker 1: been jet skiing. Would you not be worried about accidentally
Speaker 1: falling into the Hudson Hudson's fine, come on, that's fine.
Speaker 1: The amount of water in that same water that goes
Speaker 1: in the meadowlands where I love to go swimming right by,
Speaker 1: right by Giant Stadium, and the big chemical factories. Come on.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say what's probably floating in the
Speaker 1: Hudson Buck, but I think you and I can use
Speaker 1: our imaginations. It's probably true some people, probably some people
Speaker 1: sleeping with the fishes. It's that's the thing that happens
Speaker 1: there sometimes, Glenn, hey Buck, I will say that I
Speaker 1: do keep bing on my phone. Oh we have a
Speaker 1: bing user. The only reason I do is to see
Speaker 1: the websites that Google has censored from my search. When
Speaker 1: the story about Joe Biden talking about getting the Ukrainian
Speaker 1: age fires came out, Agi fired, not fires, A Google
Speaker 1: search gave me nothing. Per an infant being brought it
Speaker 1: right up. You should try it sometime, Agland. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I'm gonna switch over to big Look. Google's
Speaker 1: another lib company. Facebook is a lib company. Although actually
Speaker 1: I liked we we have that thing, didn't Mark Yep Zuckerberg.
Speaker 1: I like what he said, can we can we play
Speaker 1: clip fifteen? This is what he said about Facebook. But
Speaker 1: I think we've been pretty clear on what I think
Speaker 1: the right approaches, which is that I don't think that
Speaker 1: Facebook or Internet platforms in general should be arbiters of truth.
Speaker 1: I think that's a kind of a dangerous line to
Speaker 1: get down to in terms of deciding what is what
Speaker 1: is true and what isn't here he is Zuck. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess there's Jeff zucker and then there's Zuckerberg. I
Speaker 1: feel like Zuckerberg should be the guy who gets called.
Speaker 1: You know, he's the big He's zuck you know, he's
Speaker 1: the one. He's much bigger deal than than Jeff Zucker.
Speaker 1: Jeff Zucker is a glorified, glorified NBC producer who happened
Speaker 1: now run set and it's really insane. Where were we on?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it shouldn't be the arbiter of truth. He's
Speaker 1: absolutely correct. So Facebook is a little better on this
Speaker 1: than Twitter. But you know, the Libs love to dominate
Speaker 1: Twitter and they think that this is a necessary this
Speaker 1: is necessary for them, So we got to keep that
Speaker 1: in mind. All right. Next up we have to do
Speaker 1: rich shirt Buck. We got another Richard here. I wanted
Speaker 1: to give you a resistance story. Last year, I got
Speaker 1: a free couch from a friend. It's a good couch,
Speaker 1: except the foam cushions were worn out. So I called
Speaker 1: during all the shutdown madness to see when the foam
Speaker 1: guy will reopen. He tells me, I'm not shut down
Speaker 1: and bring the old ones to get a quote. He
Speaker 1: never shut down. It was still just as busy as normal,
Speaker 1: only require me to wear a mask. Four hours later,
Speaker 1: the couch is like new here in and see Kami
Speaker 1: Cooper is getting sued left and right. He lost to
Speaker 1: the churches, and now the bars and Jim's are suing.
Speaker 1: We might not have the convention now in Charlotte. I
Speaker 1: hope he loses in November. Foam shields high. All right, Richard,
Speaker 1: thanks man, cool story. There we go. You're in the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast.
Speaker 1: All right, we got Kyle a Buck. I agree with
Speaker 1: your guest David's opinion on voter requirements. I'm of the
Speaker 1: Starship Trooper's mindset. Service to the country earns you the
Speaker 1: right to vote, because serving means you have a stake
Speaker 1: in society. Heinlun wrote, when you vote, you're exercising political authority.
Speaker 1: You're using force, and force, my friends, is violence the
Speaker 1: supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived. Imagine
Speaker 1: if we gave the same scrutiny to voting as we
Speaker 1: do the ability to purchase a firearm, Kyle ella Quenton,
Speaker 1: perhaps a bit radical in you're a analysis, but uh,
Speaker 1: thank you very much for writing in Manum. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I also think, um, I think that that at least
Speaker 1: making people show up. I think that's very reasonable, show
Speaker 1: up to have to vote and not just press a
Speaker 1: button on your smartphone like I vote. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's you know, you do have people that I believe
Speaker 1: want more. There are people that will talk about direct
Speaker 1: democracy where we would all just vote on you know,
Speaker 1: a whole range of issues from our phones. Right the
Speaker 1: governor could say, hey, we should should we do this thing?
Speaker 1: How should we spend this money? And everyone gets to
Speaker 1: vote on their phones. That that that turns into moboc
Speaker 1: receive very quickly. Nick, although the I know, I know
Speaker 1: there are referendums and there are things like this that happened.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, Nick hey buck big fan from the original
Speaker 1: Saturday Squad o s S, just wanted to float something
Speaker 1: to see what you think. Is it possible that Biden's
Speaker 1: no malarkey tour was just a cover story for his slippage.
Speaker 1: He seems to have gotten pretty grumpy since then. Maybe
Speaker 1: someone saw it coming. Oh, producer Mark, what do you
Speaker 1: think Nick is saying here? I think slippage. I think
Speaker 1: he's talking about mentally Ah interesting, but I'm not really
Speaker 1: I'm I'm Nika, I kind of I don't know if
Speaker 1: you think that somebody who thinks they're slipping would say
Speaker 1: the normal Larkey tour. I don't see how that's a
Speaker 1: cover for I don't know, Nick. I look, I appreciate
Speaker 1: your writing, and I just don't I don't really see it.
Speaker 1: But thank you, Mica Buck forget Malta. Why don't we
Speaker 1: get in the late night salty producer Mark and Buck
Speaker 1: Drinking Booze podcast? Raise your glass and shields high? Um, Mica,
Speaker 1: I don't know. That'd be kind of fun, kind of fun.
Speaker 1: I don't know. You put a couple of drinks, Producer, Mark,
Speaker 1: We're got to We're got to take out the bleep
Speaker 1: button a lot, though, you know, I think that's the point.
Speaker 1: They don't. They want to do this on YouTube or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: without bleeps, I don't be kind of fun, you know,
Speaker 1: be like Pruce, Mark, what's the worst what's the worst
Speaker 1: move that the New York Football Giants have ever made?
Speaker 1: It's like hit the deck. You're the Giants wouldn't do
Speaker 1: it the mets of the Rangers. You'd get me ranting, Yeah, there,
Speaker 1: there you go. I did see there was a funny
Speaker 1: Tom Brady exchange with did you see this one with
Speaker 1: Eli Manning? Back when I used to watch football, I
Speaker 1: saw Eli beat Tom Brady twice in the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: greatest sporting events I've ever watched, both times, and at
Speaker 1: Eli or Brady made some Twitter comment to Eli about
Speaker 1: because he had just joined Twitter, you know, only showing
Speaker 1: up in the fourth quarter classic Eli. It was pretty funny. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: that is funny. But he shows up the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: to beat Tom Brady. So indeed, I will always say
Speaker 1: Eli Manning the most average quarterback of all time except
Speaker 1: for two quarters of his life. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: you only need you only need two big wins to
Speaker 1: be a legend. This is that's why he's a whole.
Speaker 1: He's most likely Hall of Famer off of two games,
Speaker 1: or I'll give made games the whole playoffs belf years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but people forget this. I mean Churchill, for example, Winston Churchill,
Speaker 1: the British Prime Minister. You all know Churchill was very
Speaker 1: a very prolific writer and has all these sayings attributed
Speaker 1: to him, and it has this whole character. He was
Speaker 1: wrong about a lot of stuff. People forget this now,
Speaker 1: but he was right about the single most important thing
Speaker 1: at the single most important time, probably the twentieth century,
Speaker 1: which was the evils of Nazism and the need to
Speaker 1: get So. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You have one
Speaker 1: huge win, and that's what you're known for, you know.
Speaker 1: He According to Wayne Gretzky Michael Scott, you missed one
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the shots you don't take. There you go.
Speaker 1: True story. Greg Buck just wanted to say something cool
Speaker 1: for Roll Call because I get way too riled up
Speaker 1: from listening to you daily. Mel Gibson is the greatest
Speaker 1: actor of all time, and Braveheart is the greatest movie
Speaker 1: of all time and also the greatest soundtrack of all time. Thanks.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot of greatest of all that's
Speaker 1: a lot of go a lot of greatest of all time.
Speaker 1: Braveheart is my favorite movie to this day. It just
Speaker 1: is my favorite movie. I can't say that Mel Gibson's
Speaker 1: my favorite actor. He was great in a bunch of things,
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't say he's my favorite. Actually, I don't
Speaker 1: know producer Mark, do you have a favorite all time actor?
Speaker 1: I don't know how you even say that, you that
Speaker 1: there is the greatest actor of all time, Like can
Speaker 1: you really name one? Or like there's so many movies.
Speaker 1: Be a better way to put a movie your all
Speaker 1: time favorite. I don't even think I could say that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think. I don't think one
Speaker 1: comes I think a lot of people would probably start
Speaker 1: saying things like Tom Hanks. A lot of people would say.
Speaker 1: For some people, maybe Harrison Ford. If you're looking for
Speaker 1: male act you know there's male actors feeling. I think
Speaker 1: Denzel comes up. I was gonna say Denzel would come
Speaker 1: up for a lot of folks. Um, you know, some
Speaker 1: people if you're really into like the most sort of
Speaker 1: pure acting method and everything else would say Daniel day Lewis.
Speaker 1: You know these are these are some of the great
Speaker 1: male And then everyone always says Meryl Streep on the
Speaker 1: female side. I don't know. I'm not as impressed as
Speaker 1: everybody else. I'd put Steve Correll up there, greatest all
Speaker 1: time act I'd put him up there is just most versatile.
Speaker 1: He could do comedy, he can do drama, and he
Speaker 1: always makes you laugh or he makes you cry. I
Speaker 1: mean The Office is one of the greatest comedic collaborations
Speaker 1: of apparently space for shrup today, I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: watch that after the show. Wait is he in that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I told you it's the show that would say the
Speaker 1: creator of the Office and him teamed up again. Where
Speaker 1: it's on Netflix? Oh my gosh, sign me up. I
Speaker 1: thank you for the reminder, producer, Mark. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna spend my weekend doing that and getting the Snow

Speaker 1: cookies on planet Earth. I'm telling you it's amazing. I'll
Speaker 1: bring you some when the quarantine end. Please. There really
Speaker 1: are the best guy. She makes them gluten full instead
Speaker 1: of gluten free for other people. So, Dennis, since I
Speaker 1: didn't you mentioned watching the Ulysses Grant documentary which just
Speaker 1: recently aired on the History Channel, and knowing your interest
Speaker 1: in history, I thought it'd be worth letting you know.
Speaker 1: I found it very well done and worth viewing. Grant
Speaker 1: is one that has seemingly overlooked in our country, yet
Speaker 1: it could be argued played a major role in our
Speaker 1: country's history. Thanks, as always for the great content you
Speaker 1: put into each show and allowing your listeners viewers a
Speaker 1: chance to opine. Shield Time asks low, my man Dennis,
Speaker 1: I like it. Shield Time asks low, indeed, and then
Speaker 1: one more Andrew. Sanctimonious mask shamers are annoying and irritating.
Speaker 1: But I've been thinking about a counter strike. What if
Speaker 1: people in great numbers began wearing Maga Trump Pence twenty
Speaker 1: twenty masks everywhere in public? Would this suddenly change the
Speaker 1: mask love that zealous libs have. I would wear one,
Speaker 1: thanks and she'll tie. Um. I know I think I
Speaker 1: brought this up. I might have said this. Maybe I
Speaker 1: said I don't know. I think I said this last
Speaker 1: night on one of my shows. I said it somewhere.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I if you started wearing a Maga had
Speaker 1: in New York City Ramaga mask in New York City,
Speaker 1: people would no longer give you credit for being a
Speaker 1: person of science who cares about people. You're terrible. You're
Speaker 1: like Trump. Everybody, have a great weekend. Please do pass
