4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Party going to do? What does it mean to be

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: a Republican today? These are all questions that people are

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: posing with some frequency, considering that we've had a rough

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: go of a the last few months, haven't we. Let's

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: just all say it. It has not been what we

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: were planning on. Donald Trump is not president anymore. Democrats

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: have control of the House and the Senate, you know

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: how this all goes. And we haven't heard from Trump

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: in a while, and that is meant that the media

13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: has been able to construct this narrative of a Republican

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: Party that is about to either go into tremendous fracture,

15
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: a GOP civil war as they're calling it, or that

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: will just start to fade into irrelevancy. Donald Trump showed

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: up at Sepack, I was down there in Florida, and

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: and here's what he said about what it means right

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: now for the GOP. What is the GOP play sixteen?

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: The future of the Republican Party is as a party

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: that defends the social economic and cultural interests and values

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: of working American families of every race, color, and creed.

23
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: That's why the party is growing so rapidly, and it's

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: becoming a different party, and it's becoming a party of love.

25
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: You have to see outside the streets. I mean, there's

26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: such love the Flags Party of Love. That was Trump

27
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: being Trump. But I do think that that ultimately we

28
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: should start to embrace the idea that the Republican Party

29
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: is about making this country better for all people, and

30
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: that our ideas are in fact rooted in care and

31
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: consideration for our fellow human beings. Right. I want safer

32
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: streets for everybody, want better and cheaper healthcare options for everybody.

33
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: I want things in this country to be working well

34
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: for all the American people. I don't have an US

35
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: versus them mentality. I have a what's best for all

36
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: of us mentality. I think the Republicans shouldn't shy away

37
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: from verbalizing that because the other side says Republicans are racist,

38
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: they're classist, they're evil, they're misogynists, you know, the xenophobic.

39
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: They have all these things they always say, and that's

40
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: actually the opposite of what the Republican Party is all

41
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: about that's the opposite of what it means to be

42
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: a conservative. I also agree with the Great Ronald Reagan

43
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: when he says, when he would say this was not

44
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: a one off, that you shouldn't walk away from the

45
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: term republican and only embraced conservative. Conservatism is the belief,

46
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: that's the ideology. But the home, the vessel for conservatism

47
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: in American today is the Republican Party. And if you're wondering,

48
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: what do we say for, what's the point of it all?

49
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: And I get that frustration. I know, we see what's

50
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: going on with Biden, and you know, Hiden Biden, he's

51
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: out of the basement now in the White House, but

52
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: he might as well as be in the basement. No leadership,

53
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: no vision, just a bunch of leftists around him that

54
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: are that are actually pushing the levers and making the

55
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: making the calls that the progressives want him to. And

56
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: we look at all this and you say, what what

57
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: are we here for? Why Why do we we exist?

58
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: Because this country deserves a better future than what the

59
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Democrats can give it. The Conservatives exist because we look

60
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: at history and we look at what has happened, and

61
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: we make decisions based upon what we think is the

62
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: best and most rational evidence of what will be best

63
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: for all of us, and a simple way to put this.

64
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: But we don't have to get overly eloquent about any

65
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: of this. We're gonna say, somebody's got to stand in

66
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: the way of the crazy. Maybe that's the best way

67
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: to say, somebody's got to tell the other side sorry,

68
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: you're not going to just get to run us off

69
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: the cliff, hitting the accelerator full speed without at least

70
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: some folks telling you, what are you doing? Stop? This

71
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: is a bad idea, This will be destructive. Don't do

72
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: this right, whether it's the absurd, ideologically driven anti science

73
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: attacks on fossil fuel, the continuation of the lockdown mania

74
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: that we've seen, you, complete repudiation from the Democrats of

75
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: so many lessons that we've already learned about what works

76
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: and what doesn't work when it comes to public policy.

77
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: How we can actually make people safer on the streets.

78
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: Here's the answer, Not by blaming cops. That's step one

79
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: is stop blaming the cops. They're not the ones committing

80
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: the crimes. They're not the reason that people are getting

81
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: shot in urban areas of the country at higher rates

82
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: now they have in a long time, and we had

83
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: a huge spike in crime over the last year during

84
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: the pandemic year. Of course, there's so much going on

85
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: right now, and it's it's incumbent upon us. It's Conservative's

86
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: role right now to say, what are you doing, crazy left,

87
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Stop it? And here's why, here's

88
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: a better way. They may not listen to us, and

89
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: they probably almost certainly won't, but we still have to

90
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: say it. We need it to be clear to people

91
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: there's an alternative because we are going to get control back.

92
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: We are going to be at a better future. It

93
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: will happen. I know. Right now we're at a little

94
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: bit of a low point. Right the Republican Party feels

95
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: like what the heck is going on now. You can

96
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: listen to some people in the GOP who will tell

97
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: you not a single state House got flipped in the

98
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 1: last election. We gained seats in the House, but Nancy

99
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: Pelosi still speaker and they still have a majority. We

100
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: are fifty fifty in the Senate. You know, they can

101
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: put a happy face on it, but come on, folks,

102
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: we needed to maintain control of the Senate. It was

103
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: crazy that we lost both those Georgia Senate seats. I mean,

104
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: there were some blunders and we had an incumbent president

105
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: who lost, and we can talk about why and what

106
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: the other side did and everything else. But at the

107
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: end of the day, Joe Biden's president, Donald Trump is

108
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: not This is disappointing, but it's not the end. It's

109
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: not a moment of panic that we should have. Okay,

110
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: this is, in fact, just the period in which we're

111
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: going to see people coming together. They're talking about GOP

112
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: civil war. I think you're going to see GOOP consolidation. Yeah.

113
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: Donald Trump said maybe he will run again. He teased

114
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: the idea of running again. He said he might win

115
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: for a third time. But here's what's very clear. Trump

116
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: is engaged, the people around him are engaged, and the

117
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: movement will continue. It's not over. It's not going away.

118
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: This is what I was saying the day after the

119
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: election in November. The ideas continue, the lessons learned from

120
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: the last four years continue. Here's what the former president says.

121
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: Trumpism actually means play eighteen. It means low taxes and

122
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: eliminating job killing regulations. Trumpism it means strong borders, but

123
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: people coming into our country based on a system of merit,

124
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: so they come in and they can help us, as

125
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: opposed to coming here and not being good for us,

126
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: including criminals, of which there are many. It means no

127
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: riots in the streets. It means law enforcement. Those are

128
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: all good things, aren't they. Law enforcement, No riots, and notice,

129
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: no riots. We don't approve of some riots and not others.

130
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: No riots, No use of force for political means. Taking

131
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: into the hands of mobs never acceptable. We have principles.

132
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: Unlike the left, they just have whatever achieves power in

133
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: a short term sense. That's what their focus is. Always on.

134
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: Strong borders, no riots in the streets, low taxes. These

135
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: are all very viable paths for this country. And I

136
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: have to remind everybody that we were in a fluke year,

137
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: and we were in a once in a century pandemic.

138
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: That's just a fact. And the incumbent president lost. Now, yes,

139
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: I believe very strongly that if Donald Trump had run

140
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: for reelection and say the fall of twenty nineteen, based

141
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: on the decisions the actual governance, he would have won.

142
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: But that wasn't the that wasn't the hand we were dealt.

143
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: That's not what we That's not what we had to

144
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: go back into the election cycle with, and so we

145
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: did the best we could with what we had. It

146
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: was a very difficult year in the media lied so

147
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: much about what was going on, and continue too, And

148
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to tackle that in a moment, but I'm

149
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: here to just tell you stay in the fight and

150
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: stay focused, being with all those conservatives that see back,

151
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: listening to them, talking to them, hearing those speakers for days,

152
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: and then of course Trump's speech at the very end,

153
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: it was a reminder of what the conservative movement means

154
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: in America, what we're trying to accomplish now, what the

155
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: stakes are, of course, and that there are millions and

156
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: millions of us across the country who don't think that,

157
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, canceling Keystone Excel is a good idea. Don't

158
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: want open borders, don't blame the cops for the crime

159
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: that criminals commit. Don't think that big government and the

160
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: state control of every aspect of your life and every

161
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: aspect of the economy will be good for any of us.

162
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: We're here, folks, and we're just getting We're just getting

163
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: going now. The machinery on our side is mobilizing, and

164
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: the Biden squad. Those folks are all going to have

165
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: to find themselves playing a whole lot of defense and

166
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: it's going to be much more challenging than I think

167
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: they realized when they were popping the champagne corks back

168
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: in November. Trump reminded us of all of that and more.

169
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: Whether he's the nominee or it's someone else in four years,

170
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. This is about conservatism. This is about

171
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: a Trumpian approach or you know, trump tactics in the

172
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: pursuit of conservative policies at how to wage a successful

173
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: opposition for the hearts and minds of the American people

174
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: at this point in time. And we have the tools,

175
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: we have great messengers, we have fantastic results in the

176
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: state of Florida to show, and so now now begins

177
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: that work. Two years the mid terms, It's gonna go

178
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: by in a flash. We do the work of speaking

179
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: the truth about America here every day. We all do it.

180
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: That's our mission, that's our plans. You're in the freedom hunt.

181
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast to

182
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: get the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com

183
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: and in one of his first official x which was

184
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: incredible because again he talked about energy. He never said

185
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: he was going to do this. He canceled the Keystone

186
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: XEL pipeline, destroying not the eight thousand or the nine thousand,

187
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: or the eleven thousand jobs that you hear, but forty

188
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: two thousand great paying jobs on just about day one. Right.

189
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: He never talked about that during a debate because he

190
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't have gotten away with it. Well he would have,

191
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: because they cheated so much, it probably wouldn't have been

192
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: That's just one example of what I've been telling you

193
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: since Biden came into office. Now that they told us

194
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: that it was good old blue collar Joe, the moderate,

195
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: the centrist, you know, no big deal, And what we've gotten,

196
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: of course, is somebody who doesn't really differ all that

197
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: much from what any other Democrat that ran. I mean, remember,

198
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: they had like a cast of thousands running in that

199
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: Democrat primary. They had to have they had have two

200
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: different stages to debate nights for one phase of the

201
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: debate because they had so many people running. And what

202
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: you're getting with Biden is essentially just another doctrinaire left

203
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: wing Democrat. This is not a surprise. There's nothing about

204
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: this that anybody should should have said, wait a second, yeah,

205
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: of course they lied. Of course they presented Joe Biden

206
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: as as the cuddly old Grandpa for America. And that's

207
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: not really who he is. Because it doesn't matter who

208
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is. He's just a placeholder. He's just the

209
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: trojan horse that unfortunately the horse got into the gates

210
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: and now Troy is burning. But now we'll be okay,

211
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: Well we're gonna rebuild it. It's gonna be fine. Trump

212
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: was really amoring Biden, which is pretty easy to do because,

213
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: as I've said to you, if there were trade offs

214
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: in these Biden policies where there was a very clear,

215
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: very clear benefit for the American people, not for a

216
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: special interest group, not for some ideologically motivated segment of

217
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: the population that writes big checks to Democrats, if there

218
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: was something that was good, you know, but then you

219
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: can see the drawback of it, I would say, so

220
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: so much of what Biden has done, he's just bad

221
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: across the board. And Trump at seapack pointed that out

222
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: play seventeen, his campaign was all lies talked about energy.

223
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: I thought, I said, you know this guy, actually he's

224
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: okay with energy. He wasn't okay with energy, wants to

225
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: put you all out of business. He's not okay with energy.

226
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: It wants windmills, the wind mills, the windmills that don't

227
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: work when you need him. Joe Biden has had the

228
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: most disastrous first month of any president in modern history.

229
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: That's true. Already, the Biden administration has proven that they

230
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: are anti jobs, anti family, anti borders, anti energy, anti women,

231
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: and anti science. In just one short month, we have

232
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: gone from America first to America last, From America first

233
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: to America last. What has the Biden administration done so far?

234
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: Where you'd say, you know what, taking the politics out

235
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: of it, I really see the merit and wisdom in that.

236
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: In fact, you know, the only thing that some people

237
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: might point to you would have been Democrats in Congress

238
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: pushing for the minimum wage, even though, as we all know,

239
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: the minimum wage does not work the way that Democrats

240
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: think it does, or does not function in practice the

241
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: way they believe it will in theory. It does cause

242
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people to lose their jobs. It does

243
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: cause a lot of people get their hours cut back.

244
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: Some people, see I'm honest about this, Some people do

245
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: benefit from a higher mandatory minimum wage, but other people

246
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: lose jobs, other people lose access to work, is fascinating.

247
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: Some Democrats were even pointing out that this would be

248
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: a hurdle for low wage illegal immigrants. Oh my gosh,

249
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: what do we do if the minimum wage is higher?

250
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: They'll be less desire or less ability, I should say,

251
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: for employers to illegally hire illegal immigrants. That's where Democrats

252
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: heads are not as they always have this concern, this

253
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: concern for illegal immigrants ahead of Americans who are unemployed,

254
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: ahead of what it does to the wage scale. It's

255
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: very straightforward, supply and demand, more workers who can do

256
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: a job, less money you're going to get for those workers.

257
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: It's this is this is a law of basic economics.

258
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: This is this is basic economics in practice. But Democrats

259
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: think that they can get around that, that it doesn't

260
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: really count somehow, there's some other way. But no, Biden,

261
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: everything he's done in the first month and office, you

262
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: look at and you say, who's making these decisions? What's

263
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: the point of, oh, rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement. These

264
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: are the things that Democrats come into power in the

265
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: middle of a pandemic. We've got all these idiotic lockdown policies,

266
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: all these mask mania absurdities abounding all over the place.

267
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: People get mad at me when I say that, Yeah,

268
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: you're right, I'm sorry. It makes a lot of sense

269
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: that every restaurant I went to in Florida, I had

270
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: to mask up as I walked in and then sit

271
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: down and take my mask off. There's a lot of science.

272
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: People seem to believe there's science behind that, that there's

273
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: some kind of safety reason for it. If you believe

274
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: that that is for your safety, there's no reason why

275
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: the government can't make you do a hundred jumping jacks

276
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: every day whenever you go outside because it's good for

277
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: your heart health. The government can make you do anything,

278
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: no matter how dumb, no matter how ridiculous, that probably

279
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: actually would be good for your heart health overall. But

280
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: I hate jumping jack's. This is absurd. It's absurd. But

281
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: the Biden presidency that we've seen so far is as

282
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: I thought it would be. And now a Trump started

283
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: as speech by saying, and did you miss me? That's

284
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: that's how we started the speech, did you miss me?

285
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 1: And I think America is going to figure out pretty soon,

286
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: especially here's here's my prediction. They're gonna slow the reopening,

287
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 1: but as it starts to reopen, then they're really going

288
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: to realize the full extent of the damage of the

289
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: lockdowns and how much spending has gone on, and we're

290
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,239
Speaker 1: gonna hit really rough economic times in the next six

291
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: to twelve months, and then Democrats are going to do

292
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: the opposite of what they did. They're gonna be desperately

293
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: blaming Trump for the economy when Biden's actually making the decisions,

294
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: just like they were desperately trying to give Obama credit

295
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: for Trump's economy. They're gonna do everything they can to

296
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: make the Biden economy the Trump economy. That's my prediction.

297
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: Let's see. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow

298
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. And I want you

299
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: to know that I'm going to continue to fight right

300
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: by your side. Louie will do what we've done right

301
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: from the beginning, which is to win. We're not starting

302
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: new parties. You know, they kept saying he's going to

303
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: start a brand new party. We have the Republican Party.

304
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: It's going to unite and be stronger than ever before.

305
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: I am not starting a new party. That was fake news,

306
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: fake news. Now wouldn't that be brilliant. Let's start a

307
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: new party and let's divide our vote so that you

308
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: can never win. No, we're not interested in that. No

309
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: new party. United in the Republican Party, and we're going

310
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: to figure it out right now. It's about the movement,

311
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: the ideas and mobilizing. That's where we are as Republicans,

312
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: as conservatives, and Trump is going to be right there

313
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: along with us. It may not be Trump who winds

314
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: up being the standard bearon four years. I know that

315
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: the seed pack straw Pole had him as the overwhelming

316
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: favorite to run again, But then there's also dissantists and

317
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: a gnome being talked about as contenders. And I think

318
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: that the president will see where we are how things go.

319
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: Four years at his age is a long time. That's

320
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: just the truth. I mean, I know you'd say, what

321
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: about Joe Biden. Yeah, Joe Biden's too old for the job, folks.

322
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: He's actually too old to be doing this. Nancy Pelosi

323
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: too old for the job. I'm not gonna do what

324
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: Democrats do and have two sets of standards here. You know,

325
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: Trump is right on the edge, right on the edge

326
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: of just physically, folks. I understand he's got tremendous energy,

327
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: but what time about four years from now, Guys gonna

328
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: be what seventy seven going on seventy eight. It's asking

329
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: a lot. By the way, I hope President Trump, you know,

330
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,239
Speaker 1: lasts another thirty years and you know it is in

331
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: great health and can run for president again in four years.

332
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: And that may very well be the case. But I'm saying,

333
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: we don't know. Nobody's got a crystal ball, and four

334
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: years is a lifetime in politics, the most the most

335
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: cliched phrase you'll everywhere. Oh, it's a lifetime in politics,

336
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: right that It all comes down to turn out on

337
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: election day? Yeah, no kidding. Whoever scores more points on

338
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: the board is gonna win the game. Yes, also true,

339
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: we need to know what we're trying to accomplish now,

340
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do as a party, that's what matters,

341
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: And we need to be making the argument building platforms.

342
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: There is a rebuilding that needs to go on here.

343
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: We need to make sure that we can't get silenced again.

344
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: Remember they pulled off the silencing in the election. They

345
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: covered for Hunter Biden. They shut down the New York

346
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: Post story an entirely true story about Hunter Biden's laptop.

347
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: They were able to do that and they suffered no consequences.

348
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: We need them to actually, we need the social media

349
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: companies to at least think twice, and then eventually we

350
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: need to break them up, and we need to treat

351
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: them as them monopolies they are. I mean you to

352
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: break them into tiny little pieces. People say, oh no,

353
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: but it won't be as good for consumers. Really, you

354
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: don't think. You don't think anybody else can come up

355
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: with like an email or search engine or you know

356
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: a little chat boxes and things like. You don't think

357
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: anyone else's trust me. It'll be fine, all right, it'll

358
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: be fine. You know the reason that our flat screen

359
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: TVs Right now, I'm maybe gonna get a new flat

360
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: screen because mine has gone crazy. It's like possessed by

361
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: a demon. The reason that you can get a you know,

362
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: fifty five inch flat screen TV for three hundred dollars,

363
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: now that I mean fifteen years ago or ten years ago.

364
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: Would it cost you four grand or ten grand or

365
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: something crazy? The reason is because of competition among many

366
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: different companies. So it works everywhere else, But somehow the

367
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: social media companies have convinced you the best way is

368
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: for them to only be one player. That's the best

369
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: for consumers. Amazon too, that's what's best for you. It's

370
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: clearly not. I wanted to focus for a little bit

371
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: on on the Florida aspect of this because being at Seapack,

372
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: and I would say, first off, I want to thank

373
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: everybody who was there, who was who's at Seapack, and

374
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: who was willing to come up and talk to me

375
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: and say hi. It means a lot. It was great

376
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: to see this. It was great to see people who

377
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: share my beliefs values who in many cases listen to

378
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: this show. So there was a lot of a lot

379
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: of Team Buck in the house and that was fantastic.

380
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: But being in Florida was also you could feel that

381
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: there is a sense that this is now a movement

382
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: unto itself, that there are more and more Republicans who

383
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: will be moving to Florida, that there are more and

384
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: more Republicans who are deciding that that's going to be.

385
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: And I hate to say it, because I had some

386
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: some folks from from Austin, Texas who are listening to

387
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: the show listening on KLBJ in Austin. They came up

388
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: to me to talk to me. Texas Governor Abbott has

389
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: really missed an opportunity here. It feels like the leadership

390
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party is firmly now in the same

391
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: way that California. New York is a close second, but

392
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: California feels like the homeland of the Democrat Party. That's

393
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: what that's what Florida is becoming for the Republican Party.

394
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: And now we're as it's not as red as California

395
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: is blue, but I think that's I think that's changing

396
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: a bit. I'll also tell you that I did experience

397
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: at a few of the bars, because you know, they're

398
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: seapac parties and things, a very different attitude there. I mean,

399
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: you walk in, and I'm being honest with you, you

400
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: walk into these places and they will tell you to

401
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: put a mask on, but they're they're generally very polite

402
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: about it. They're generally very nice. Excuse me, could you

403
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: put it? You know, no one's yelling at you and

404
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: acting like you're actually killing grandma because they saw you

405
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: without a mask on. But it's it's fascinating to see

406
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: how people just took them off when they went inside

407
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: and then nobody. There was no anxiety about it because

408
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: people around them, the individuals around them are you know,

409
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: the people around them have not been completely breadwashed into

410
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: into states of terror. They're not feeling like if you breathe,

411
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: if you breathe near them, you're going to kill them.

412
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: And that's the way the whole country should be. So

413
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: it was interesting to see it in Florida specifically. It's

414
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: still stunning to me how many people believe there's a

415
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: sound scientific basis for the no masks while you eat,

416
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: but mask up when you walk in policies that are

417
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: in so many states, including New York where I am now.

418
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: I mean, the willingness of millions to enthusiastically evangelize this

419
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: kind of authoritarian absurdity has really exceeded any and all

420
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:04,479
Speaker 1: pre COVID expectations. It's no Ah, I don't know. It's

421
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: it's crazy, isn't it. I Mean, that's what we've it's

422
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: turned into. You can't even begin to justify this stuff.

423
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: You can't even begin to make sense of it. But

424
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: this is where we are as a country. And this

425
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: is why when I see things like a south on

426
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: South or no Spirit Airlines or Southwest it's the Spirit Airlines.

427
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: I believe it was. I don't know, one of those airlines,

428
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: one of the kind of budget airlines they kicked off.

429
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: A sorry Frontier. I gotta get it right Frontier Airlines.

430
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna call them out by name, I gotta

431
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: get it right. Frontier Airlines ejected an Orthodox Jewish family

432
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: from a fly. There's video of it for allegedly, And

433
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: this is the story that's going around failing to mask

434
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: an eighteen month old baby. That's what we've turned into

435
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: now as a country. If you've turned into a country

436
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: where where we're being told you have to mask up

437
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: you're eighteen month old, even though the CDC says masking

438
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: under two years of age is unnecessary. That's the CDC guidance.

439
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: For anyone who cares. Notice that when the CDC guidance

440
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: is what the lockdowners want, it is sacrosanct. But anytime

441
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: they want to go beyond that, anytime they want to

442
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: push for more, that's fine too, even if it's in

443
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: contradiction to the CDC guidance. So when they want it,

444
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: you can't argue with it. But when it's not actually

445
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: supported by the CDC, it's shut up and do what

446
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: you're told. Parents, This is up in Canada. Give you

447
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: an idea of how far this can go. There has

448
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: now been up in Canada a series of guidelines in

449
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: Toronto that have been offered up instructing parents to keep

450
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: any children who have been sent home because they have

451
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: a classmate who tested positive for COVID nineteen isolated in

452
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: a separate room from all other family members for fourteen days.

453
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: That's right, Canada. Now in Toronto is advocating for people

454
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: the Peel Peel region schools. I don't even know what

455
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: Peel is, but apparently it's part of part of Toronto.

456
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: They want you to lock your kid in a separate

457
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: room from the family and I have no contact with

458
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: family for fourteen days because another kid in the class

459
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: had it. You know that the spread of this virus

460
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: is overwhelmingly if someone spreads that, they spent it to

461
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: one person. So there are a lot of people who

462
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: have been around somebody with COVID and they never actually

463
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: even got COVID. They didn't get it from them. It's

464
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: you know, we have fear has overtaken rationality on this

465
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: subject in a way that's really hard to overstate. But

466
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: this is the biggest fight, and you know I've been

467
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: saying it now for a year. The biggest fight in

468
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: this country is the fight to regain our liberty and

469
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: to regain sanity from the lockdown left. We gotta do that.

470
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: You want Donald Trump to win, or another America first

471
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: candidate to win in four years, you want that. You

472
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: need to win this battle now because if the lockdown

473
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: left can get away with this, they can get away

474
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: with anything. And they've conditioned the American people to believe

475
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: that their freedom is just a suggestion that the Constitution

476
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: doesn't actually defend or protect their rights. It's only there

477
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: during good times, not in the bad. That's not the

478
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: way this is supposed to work. This is the Buck

481
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: it on the show. So Mitch McConnell says Trump is

482
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: morally responsible for January's capital siege, yet he also says

483
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: he's willing to support him in a twenty twenty four bid.

484
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: Come on, Mitch McConnell's only kissing the ring this week

485
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: because Trump is about to come out of hiding, where

486
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: he'll likely set the stage for that run next cycle. Tomorrow,

487
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: the seditionist ex president a loser, I'll remind you, we'll

488
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: headline the Conservative Political Action Conference SEEPACK. The event that

489
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: started in the early seventies has always been viewed as

490
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: a place for conservatives, some who've gone off the deep

491
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: but at very least it was rooted in ideas. They

492
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: talked about polity policies that could, in their opinion, make

493
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: the country a better place. However, in the last several years,

494
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: the conference has devolved into a cesspool of hatred, bigotry,

495
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: and exclusionary garbage, a place where speakers rail on the

496
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: country's most marginalized for simply striving to attain equal rights.

497
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: I'm not a conservative, but I like conservatives, and I

498
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: respect conservative ideology even if I don't agree with it.

499
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: But if I were a conservative, today's version of Seapack

500
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: would offend me to my core. Not only was blatant

501
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: prejudice on display this week, we also saw Missouri Senator

502
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: Josh Holly bragged to the crowd about his rejection of

503
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election results, which ultimately gave way to

504
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: the insurrection on Capitol Hill and the deaths of five people.

505
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that you had to hear that, but I

506
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: wanted you to know the kind of things that are

507
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: being said at MSNBC by people who were not at Seapack.

508
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: Don't know what was going on at Seapack, don't care,

509
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: relly what was going on at Seapack, because they just

510
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: view it as, oh, a bunch of conservatives are together.

511
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: Let's call it a quote cesspool of hatred, bigotry, and

512
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: exclusionary garbage. This is just this is idiotic slander, that's all.

513
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot of it about se Pack. And there

514
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: are people that only show up think about this, it's

515
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: a political conference. Then there are people who show up

516
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: there who know, who know that their job is to

517
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: try to find one thing. They're there to attack. They're

518
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: not there to report, they're there to attack. I was

519
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: at Spack for the whole conference, pretty much close to

520
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: the whole conference, and all I saw were a lot

521
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: of people being completely polite, friendly, decent to one another,

522
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: excited to see each other, talking about ideas, listening to shows.

523
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: That's all that I saw. That's what was going on.

524
00:30:54,560 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: And yet, well, beyond that, what have they decide that

525
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: they were going to focus on I mean the media.

526
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: What were the people that are supposed to be reporting

527
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: on this that you can't make this stuff up. That

528
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: SEPACK had a Nazi insignia as a stage. This is

529
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: what they were saying. SEEPAC had it the Odel or

530
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: Othala Rune, according to the Washington Post, which was emblazoned

531
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: on some Nazi uniforms, and the Anti Defamation League has

532
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: classified the insignia as a hate symbol. These these people

533
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: are out of their minds. They're they're out of their minds. Yeah, okay,

534
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: there is a thing called an I understand that there

535
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: is a symbol, but I had never before seen this,

536
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: was not familiar with this. I'm somebody who reads a

537
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: lot about World War Two. It finds it to be

538
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: a fascinating period in history. So let's just start from

539
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: this premise. Beyond the fact that a SEPAC, there are

540
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: a lot of really prominent Jewish speakers and attendees, and

541
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the whole thing is this nuts. I know,

542
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: it's so crazy that it's like where do you start?

543
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: But this is the Washington Post and others reporting on this.

544
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: If they're making a symbol that they want to somehow

545
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: show a an affinity for an allegiance to a certain idea,

546
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: to an ideology here of Nazism or white supremacy or

547
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: whatever is they're gonna say, wouldn't it have to be

548
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: a symbol that somebody, like somebody actually knows what it is.

549
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,239
Speaker 1: Start with that premise. If I don't even know what

550
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: this thing is, and I'm better a red on the

551
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: Second World War than ninety nine percent of the Washington

552
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: Post staff and writers, trust me when I say that

553
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: they're stretching, that they're desperate. I mean, come on, And

554
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: what I really want to know is is if this

555
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, what we need to do now would be

556
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: to find other other designs of stages that look like this.

557
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are plenty of them. Is when you

558
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: look at it, you go, yeah, they're just trying to

559
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: use that space most effectively or as effectively as they can.

560
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: But yes, it's a it's an oodle run. They say, um,

561
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: and why would SPAC do that? Why why would match

562
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: lap and and the other top people running sepack because

563
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: they have a fondness for the naziss Is the allegation,

564
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: How how blanking stupid are the people reporting on this.

565
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: But see this again shows you we want to share

566
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: ideas and we're not even allowed to We're not allowed

567
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: to do. They have to slander, they have to lie,

568
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: they have to misrepresent what we're doing and what we're

569
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: all about with things like this. And there's also part

570
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: of this this we know we shouldn't even have to

571
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: go find other stages that look like this. Is this

572
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: a stage design that's been used at the Highat for

573
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: other things? I'm willing to bet there's plenty of stages

574
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: that have looked just like But see, we're wasting time.

575
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: Then we already know that it's bullcrap, So why do

576
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: we have to it's obviously garbage, So why do we

577
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: have to waste our time then trying to even further

578
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: proof that it's nonsense because they wanted to try to

579
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:10,479
Speaker 1: pressure high it. You gotta remember this, it's not enough.

580
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: It's not enough for Democrats to have control of the government,

581
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: to have control of the media, to have control of

582
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: social media and Hollywood everything else. They want to make

583
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: it impossible for you to physically gather with fellow conservatives too.

584
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: They want dominance and total control of the digital space,

585
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: and they want dominance and total control of your ability

586
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: to even gather in person, freedom of assembly. I believe

587
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: it is called in this old document that we're all

588
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: supposed to care about a lot as Americans, known as

589
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: the Constitution. All right, I mean, isn't that something that

590
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: we can all at least agree on, you know, it

591
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: isn't that something that we should all at least be

592
00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: able to say we can. Nope, they wanted to attack Highant.

593
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 1: They don't want seapact. You'll meet anywhere these people are.

594
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: These people are authoritarian cowards. This is the Buck Sexton

595
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Now,

596
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 1: most governors shut down their states. What followed was record unemployment.

597
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: Businesses closed, most schools were shuttered, and communities suffered, and

598
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: the US economy came to an immediate halt. Now let

599
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: me be clear, COVID didn't crush the economy. Government crushed

600
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: the economy. And then just as quickly, government turned around

601
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: and held itself out as the savior. And frankly, the

602
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: Treasury Department can't print money fast enough to keep up

603
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: with Congress's wish list. But not everyone has followed this path.

604
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: For those of you who don't know South Dakota is

605
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 1: the only state in America that never ordered a single

606
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: bit business or church to close. And yet we're told

607
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: that if only we had listened more to the lockdowners,

608
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: if only these states that had shut down so much

609
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: like California, had had their way even more so, we

610
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,959
Speaker 1: would all be better off. This is absurd. The data

611
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: doesn't support it. But here's what you have to be

612
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: prepared for. There is no future. There will never be

613
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: a time in which it is the case that the

614
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: people that were advocating for demanding I should There was

615
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: an advocacy. It was demand you do this because otherwise

616
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: you're killing grandma. We're making you do this. Do this

617
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: or we shut down your business, lockdown or not only

618
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: will we find you, we will take away your liquor license,

619
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: we will destroy your restaurant's ability to ever open. We'll

620
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: make sure you're done. Lockdown or else. They didn't convince,

621
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: We didn't have a referendum. There wasn't a conversation. It

622
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: was this is an emergency. The house is on fire.

623
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: You have to run. You have to run. We'll hold

624
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: on a second. What maybe we can put the fire out.

625
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't have to abandon my home. No, you

626
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: have to. It's it's an emergency. That's what they did

627
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: to us. Now you're able to look at what's actually

628
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: happened with COVID all across the country, and you realize, oh,

629
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: so they were demanding something that turned out to be

630
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: a terrible idea. If lockdown is so obvious, if this

631
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: is such a clear and effective solution to the problem

632
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: of an Ersli's pandemic virus, why was all of the

633
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: public health guidance before this contradictory to that? Why was

634
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: it the consensus opinion since the Spanish flew of nineteen

635
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: eighteen that we don't do that. We don't shut down society,

636
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: we don't shut down businesses when there is an erslis

637
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: virus that has a high risk for certain groups in circulation. Right,

638
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: they change the consensus and then jumped all over you.

639
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: If you pointed out that a shifting consensus is inherently

640
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: on shaky ground, they didn't care, didn't matter. Look at Florida, Lugg's,

641
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: South Dakota, look at these states. Understand this. They're gonna

642
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: try to line them up. They're gonna line up for

643
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: you now, and there's so much dishonesty right now about it,

644
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: and you need to remember that too. And the dishonesty

645
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: is intentional. I wanted to be clear about that this

646
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: was not something that has just happened sometimes. I mean,

647
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 1: almost all the lockdown comparisons you'll see online now are

648
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: so immensely sloppy and methodology as to be useless. And

649
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: this is often intentional. But people will realize one day

650
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: that most lockdowns were so haphazard, temporary, and arbitrary as

651
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: to render them useless in the long run, as in,

652
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: there was almost no benefit when you look at this,

653
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: the full scope and scale of the infections across the country.

654
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: Almost no benefit from this whatsoever, if any. And in fact,

655
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: there are some people who argue, quite credibly, could have

656
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: made things worse given the situation of major American cities

657
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: and what was going on. Remember, they talked to us

658
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: like we were going to crush the virus and the

659
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: level would go way, way way down as a result

660
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: of the most extreme stay at home orders. That never happened.

661
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: Nowhere did that happen. What ended up happening was we

662
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: would go into a more extreme lockdown and it would

663
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: take months and it would finally go down where there

664
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: was the extreme lockdown, whether it was New York or

665
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: California or New Jersey or wherever would finally go down,

666
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: and it was going down in other places it didn't

667
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: have the extreme lockdown. You could just observe this and

668
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: see what exactly is the benefit if all those other

669
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: places we're also having massive declines in cases at the

670
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: same time, what's the advantage of going into these self

671
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: induced economic comas, which is what we've been through. There

672
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: was no benefit. There was no benefit. If it was

673
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: saving lots and lots of lives, you'd at least argue

674
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: about what the costs in the drawbit. But they didn't.

675
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: Where we're show me how they saved lives. Remember, they're

676
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: gonna tell you. They'll say, well, you know, Florida and California.

677
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: They'll try to find some comparison of those states. As

678
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: an example. They always give New York New Jersey a

679
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: past They got hit first, Okay, but they got hit

680
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 1: we all knew it was coming. They'll do a comparison, though,

681
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: and they'll say, well, if you see here, technically this state,

682
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: you know, did better than Florida, and this state had

683
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: lockdowns or something like that. But remember this should be

684
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: this should be an enormous and obvious benefit, right. We

685
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: weren't promised with lockdowns the way they were set up

686
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: in this country and the people like Fauci and all

687
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: the rest of them. We were not promised that it

688
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: would be California that we were supposed to say, oh gee,

689
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 1: that success. We were promised a situation like New Zealand

690
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 1: where they have very, very, very low cases. But here's

691
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: the problem with that. New Zealand is a very remote

692
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: island or islands from most of the rest of the world,

693
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: with incredibly sparse population and absolutely hardcore lockdowns. Cannot leave

694
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: your home enforced across the board for months on end.

695
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,720
Speaker 1: That's an actual lockdown. And here's the thing. We weren't

696
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: willing to do that. We weren't going to do that,

697
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: and it wasn't possible for us to do that. So

698
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: guess what we had the worst of all worlds never

699
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 1: really lockdown and did not stay open in places like California.

700
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: And to what end? To what benefit? Nobody ever seems

701
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: to have to answer that question. How we're supposed to

702
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: just sit around and assume that Fauci and all the

703
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: rest of them knew what they were doing. It's absurd,

704
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: it's absurd. I think that Fauci is the greatest villain

705
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: of the pandemic. The only person who comes close is

706
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo. But Fauci, I think, is the single person

707
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: most responsible for grotesquely politicizing the entire process and pretending

708
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: that he was doing the opposite of that. The data.

709
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: It's all about the data. And remember this for those

710
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: of you who think that I'm some kind of anti

711
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: masks zealot, and I am. Let's be honest. I hate masks.

712
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: I think it's awful. I think they're wildly, wildly overstated

713
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: as a mechanism for virus control. Look at the infection

714
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: rates among healthcare professionals. I know they're subjected to higher

715
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: degree of risk, but okay, how effective are masks When

716
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: you see that healthcare professionals have an infection rate compared

717
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: to the general population, and that makes you think, okay,

718
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: so I mean they're still they're masking up perfectly professionally,

719
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: and ninety fives and anyway, and again it's not that

720
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: it's zero. I can't say it's zero. I don't know.

721
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I know there's studies that show this and that,

722
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: and that's say, okay, but is it, Yeah, how effective

723
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: we really supposed to be eighty percent? You think you

724
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: think it with proper masking, you reduce viral spread by

725
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: eighty percent. That's that's delusional, given what we've seen going

726
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,919
Speaker 1: on across the country. Delusional. They'll never admit They'll never

727
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: admit it though, because so many of the people that

728
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: push for this stuff, it's become a religion for them.

729
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: And also they really think that they really thought they

730
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: were smarter than everybody else. That's the same thing the

731
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: Russia collusion delusion. People, they thought that they they saw

732
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: that conspiracy, they thought they were smarter than everybody else,

733
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: that Trump was really working with Putin to steal the election.

734
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: And you know, just because they're so smart that they

735
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: believed it. When you can take belief and mix it

736
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: with ego, you have in an impenetrable shield of idiocy

737
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: when you can pull those two when you can pull

738
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: those two things together, you create a belief and then

739
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: you mix it with the ego of that individual that

740
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: I believe this because I'm smart, will never change, will

741
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: never change. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening

Speaker 1: to the buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from

743
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: Buck at buck Sexton dot com. The CDC will be

744
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,760
Speaker 1: coming out within the next few weeks, maybe even sooner,

745
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: with some guidelines about what people who are vaccinated. And

746
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: I think, and I know you're referring Dana to people

747
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: who are doubly vaccinated fourteen days out, they're protected, they

748
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 1: have that ninety four to protection. What can they do?

749
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm very certain and we've discussed this, and you're right.

750
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to get ahead of the guidelines because

751
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: the ADC wants to do things that are science based.

752
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: If you can't get the science, you've got to maybe

753
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: you as modeling, and in addition to modeling, you use

754
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: good professional, common sense judgment. They'll be coming out with that.

755
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: But one of the things that I think is going

756
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: to become clear that if you have individuals adults who

757
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: are vaccinated, two people that are doubly vaccinated and are protected,

758
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: then you can do things that we weren't talking about before.

759
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: You could have dinner in a home without masks on.

760
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: You could have friends who you know are doubly vaccinated

761
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: and are protected together with you, so you can start

762
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: doing things essentially in the home in a setting where

763
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: you're not out in the community where there are seventy

764
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: thousand new infections per day, and you could start doing

765
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: some of the things that you weren't able to do before.

766
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,439
Speaker 1: I mean, this little tyrant is out of his mind now.

767
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that people have come to realize that

768
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: I've been right about him all along, and that any

769
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: on all the Foucci worshippers should be embarrassed because they

770
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: were taken in by this Oh, I'm a little grandpa

771
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: follows the data. I want to keep you safe. Nonsense.

772
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: This guy's a little tyrant democrat bureaucrat. Oh, when you're

773
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: doubly vaccinated, you might be able to eat dinner in

774
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: a private home. I mean, does this little jackass not

775
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: know that everyone's been doing that pretty much the whole pandemic.

776
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: Eat dinner in a prayer. Everyone's eating dinner in private

777
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: homes all the time. If you and another you know,

778
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: two adults are vaccinated, and well, what are we talking

779
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: about here? This is like when he said, you know,

780
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: we can't go back to eating in restaurants, and we

781
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: can't go back to two movie theaters even after people

782
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: get even after you're vaccinated, and it's already the restaurants

783
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: are open in most states across the country. At some level,

784
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: we're already doing these things. That just goes to show

785
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 1: you how out of touch. This little the worst. This

786
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: guy's the worst. All right, he's not he's not impressive,

787
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: he's not smart, he's not wise. His judgment is awful.

788
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: He's a partisan hack, he's a joke. Yeah, after you're

789
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 1: after you're both doubly vaccine, after you both at ninety

790
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: five percent, uh, you know, ninety five percent chance of

791
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: being Remember, folks, you could do the math on this yourself. Okay,

792
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: So it's ninety five percent, you're fine. Ninety five percent.

793
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: The person you're with is fine for a virus that

794
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: has a ninety nine point you know, seven percent survival

795
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: rate or something that or points, you know, ninety nine

796
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: point seven or ninety nine point eight or whatever it is.

797
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: And we're and you're not gonna You're not gonna live

798
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: your life because of this. This is insane, This is

799
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: not reasonable, it is not rational, It is not okay.

800
00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: But the Democrat panic and anxiety machinery can't turn itself off.

801
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm like, we gotta listen to Fauci.

802
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: We're gonna listen to Fauci. They don't know what to do.

803
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: They can't handle the fact that they have to go

804
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: back to normal life at some point. They know, my

805
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 1: goshler's risk. I wanted to stay home and darn food. Ever, no, no,

806
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: we do not live zero risk lives. We've all understood this.

807
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: This is part of functioning, part of being a human being.

808
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:31,800
Speaker 1: And yet Fauci says things that make you think, what

809
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,879
Speaker 1: the heck is this lunatic talking about? You know, if

810
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: you have vaccinated double and the other person's vaccinated double,

811
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: you can eat indoors without masks on at a private home,

812
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, where you're all, where you're both vaccinated. Did

813
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 1: he think we need him to tell us that? I'm

814
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: just going to say that, unless you're, you know, a

815
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 1: an immunocompromise senior citizen, if you need doctor Fauci to

816
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: tell you that you're just not very bright, Okay, unless

817
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 1: you're somebody that has a really, really specific and high

818
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: risk If you need a doctor Fauct you to say

819
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: that you're you're either not very bright or anxiety has

820
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: completely overtaken your brain. You know, you're not gonna have

821
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: dinner with your your wife, You're not gonna have dinner

822
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: with family members in your immediate family without masks on.

823
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: I mean, as if, as if masking off when you're

824
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: eating dinner even makes any sense, because you know you're unmasking,

825
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: you're breathing all over the place. The whole thing is,

826
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: they know so little really about the transmissibility of this thing.

827
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: That's what's so amazing. They don't really understand even I mean,

828
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: you'll go, you'll see there's some studies that suggest that

829
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,760
Speaker 1: somebody can be really really infectious and it can spread

830
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: through air vents in a building. There are other studies

831
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: that will suggest, you know, you sit around and say, well,

832
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: what well, that's why they're talking about ventilation systems in

833
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: the schools because there are these studies that show that.

834
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: But but they think that where it a mask is

835
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: gonna save you at the you know which one is it.

836
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: This thing can go through the vents in a building

837
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: so that you don't even see a person, you're not

838
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: even within fifty feet of a person, and you might

839
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: be able to get COVID from them. But wearing a

840
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: mask is going to is going to protect you. It

841
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: can't be both those things. Not really hate to break

842
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: into everybody, but there's so many open questions about this,

843
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: So there's so many things that they don't know, but

844
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: they won't admit that, because to admit that is one

845
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: to show everybody that this expert class. Look, the expert

846
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: class when it comes to doctors has lost all public

847
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: health officials, I should say, has lost a lot of credibility,

848
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: a lot of credibility. People are much less impressed with

849
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: what somebody with a stethoscope and a lab coat says

850
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: is good policy than they were before. And that's a

851
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: good thing. But this guidance the CDC's going to come

852
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: out with for vaccated people is going to be pathetic.

853
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:01,439
Speaker 1: It should be go back to life, go back to

854
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: your normal life. That's what it should be when you're vaccinated.

855
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: Right now, we can even have a whole discussion about

856
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: whether everybody should get vaccinated, but I mean, for those

857
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 1: who are vaccinated, we're just talking about that. It should

858
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 1: be go live your life. Okay, that's it. That's reasonable.

859
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,919
Speaker 1: Everything else is unreasonable. But oh but there's a one

860
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: in you know, one and ten thousand chance you might

861
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: get it, and then a one in five thousand chance

862
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: you might give it, and then you know, now we're

863
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: getting we're getting into silly numbers at this point, ridiculous

864
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: numbers at this point. And and that's this is why

865
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not letting this go. Doctor Fauci here says,

866
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: we're also we're gonna pull back on COVID restrictions one

867
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: day play eleven. Let's look at what history has taught us.

868
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 1: If you go back and look at the various surges

869
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: whenever we hit a peak and start coming down, understandably,

870
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 1: totally understandably say well, let's pull back. We're going to

871
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: ultimately be pulling back, but you want to get the

872
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: level of baseline infections per day very low, because if

873
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: you look at that little plateau, particularly in the arena

874
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: of having variants such as we have in California and

875
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 1: such as we have in New York, it is really

876
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: risky to say it's over, we're on the way out,

877
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 1: let's pull back, because what we can see is that

878
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: we turn up. It isn't hypothetical data because just look

879
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 1: historically at the late winter, early spring of twenty twenty,

880
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: of the summer of twenty twenty, when we started to

881
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 1: pull back prematurely. We saw the rebound. Don't want that

882
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: to happen. I would think it is. I think, I

883
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,879
Speaker 1: think you know, obviously, each individual state and city needs

884
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: to look at the situation in their own in their

885
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: own location where they are, but in general to think,

886
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 1: just because the cases are coming down on the daily basis,

887
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: take a look at the pattern and just watch over

888
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: the next several days to a week. If we do

889
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: this and start coming up, then we're gonna go right

890
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: back to the road of rebounding. He's been wrong about

891
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: this at every step, at every stage, and what he's

892
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: telling you is total crap. Right now, just for the record, Okay,

893
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: he absolutely cannot tell you that he was saying, Oh,

894
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna We're gonna have a rebate. He had no

895
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 1: idea up down all around it, no idea what was

896
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: going on with the different spikes making it up as

897
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: he goes along, wrong over and over and over again.

898
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure

899

Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Senator from Tennessee, and

901
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: she talked to me about big tech and a whole

902
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: range of issues, including how to clean up state elections.

903
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: And here it is for you right now, all right

904
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: here at SEPAK with Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator. Great to

905
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: see you, thanks for joining to say you and I'm

906
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: delighted to join you. Major focus here so far, and

907
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: I know all through the weekend it's going to be

908
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: big tech, and both from the context of what they're

909
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 1: doing to us here at home and also what it

910
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,919
Speaker 1: means for big tech in China specifically how they're coming

911
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 1: after us. But let me start with the big tech

912
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: challenge here in America. It feels like freedom of speech

913
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: is under more threat now from technology companies than at

914
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: any time that I can think of in my lifetime

915
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 1: at least. Well, absolutely it is under threat. And you've

916
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 1: got big tech, big media, and the big Left, and

917
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: they are all in cahoots on this to try to

918
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: silence conservatives and what they can't do through legislation, the

919
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: left is trying to have big tech do that work

920
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: for them. And then you've got Democrat legislators this week

921
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: that sent a letter to the FCC and to certain

922
00:54:55,239 --> 00:55:00,919
Speaker 1: streaming organizations, cable companies, media outlets trying to get them

923
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: to drop conservative programming, and they named by name Fox One,

924
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: American News and Newsmax. And the thing they're guilty of

925
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:21,919
Speaker 1: is giving a balanced point counterpoint opening for robust discussion. So, yes,

926
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: I've got the Virtual You Protection Agenda. We are pushing

927
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: this through. It's going to deal with four things. Online privacy,

928
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: reforming Section to thirty, data security, and also antitrust. Now,

929
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: what are the prospects for getting any actual movement on

930
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: that given the current composition of Congress. Actually, you've got

931
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: privacy online. Privacy has had bipartisan support. I've had that

932
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: bill since twenty twelve, and it does have bipartisan support.

933
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: There is agreement that we should address section two thirty

934
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:02,800
Speaker 1: and clean up the language so that you remove terms

935
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: like the term otherwise objectionable, which is what big tech

936
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:10,479
Speaker 1: hides behind when they go in and censure people. And

937
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: there is agreement that there should be a review of

938
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: antitrust provisions in relation to companies like Google. And do

939
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: you think big tech should be broken up? I think

940
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: that it is the worthy discussion to have. But here's

941
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: the thing. If you go in and execute privacy, which

942
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: gives you the ability to say, big Tech, you cannot

943
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 1: track me follow me, data mind me, or share or

944
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 1: sell my information without my explicit consent, and you can't

945
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,760
Speaker 1: bump me off your platform. If I don't give that consent,

946
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: then what you do is reduce the number of eyeballs.

947
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: So you want to do that first because that somewhat

948
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: reshapes their marketplace. Then you want to exercise the section

949
00:56:56,040 --> 00:57:00,040
Speaker 1: to thirty reforms that reshapes. You want to define on

950
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: data breach and data security and put a specific amount

951
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: of time on that so they have to tell you

952
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,240
Speaker 1: in like two days, not two weeks or two years

953
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: if they've had a data breach. Then see where that

954
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: gets you, and then move to antitrust as the last

955
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 1: component if that legislation we're to go through. Are you

956
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: confident that the purge of conservatives from the digital public

957
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: square that has been underway, kicking people quite honestly like

958
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: me off of different platforms at times you're a sitting

959
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: US senator even even more shocking when you think about this,

960
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: are you confident that that will be enough to create

961
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: the free speech grounds that we need this legislation it

962
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: goes a long way in sending a message. And then

963
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: the other thing is we the people have to be

964
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: the people on protecting our rights and if they take

965
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: the first, if the left gets rid of the first Amendment,

966
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: then you know they're coming for the second and right

967
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: on down the list. So it is going to be

968
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: imperative that people start holding to account some of these

969
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: tech platforms. It is going to be imperative that they

970
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: talk about it when they get blocked or throttled or

971
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:19,439
Speaker 1: shatter band or demonetized or d platform and begin to

972
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: bring that out in the open. You also focus a

973
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: lot on China and the challenge that China poses for

974
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 1: US on national security, economic trade grounds. Right, what can

975
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: we do now considering that there's a reset underway with

976
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: this Biden administration, What are you pushing for and what

977
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: are your concerns about how US China policy may shift.

978
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm very concerned about it because if you want to

979
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: take it by different stovepipes with China, look at what

980
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: they're doing with Huawei. We have to keep them on

981
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: the Entities List, which blocks them from selling into the USA.

982
00:58:54,800 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: They embed their technology with spyware. We have to make

983
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: certain that we continue the Trump policies on China. He

984
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: understood China, and he understood they really practice rob replicate

985
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 1: and replace, which is taking our technology, our intellectual property,

986
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: reverse engineering or producing it, and then driving US companies

987
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: out of the marketplace so that they're the sole source

988
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: for some product that you want. So we need to

989
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: continue Trump's policies in that area. You have to look

990
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: at what is happening with human rights violations with Hong

991
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 1: Kong and the freedom fighters and the Tibetans and the

992
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: Taiwanese and the South China seas, and then the genocide

993
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 1: of the weakers that are there, and say to international

994
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 1: organizations you cannot admit them. The fact that Biden has

995
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 1: gone back to the who is disgusting. That is something

996
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:02,919
Speaker 1: that emboldens China. And on the election integrity issue, which

997
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: it feels like hopefully we can begin to speak about

998
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: again without fear of that triggering all kinds of algorithms

999
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: of censorship and cries of outrage. What would you like

1000
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: to see at the state level done and at the

1001
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 1: federal level, how do we clean things up so that

1002
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: there's greater Because we know all the data, all the

1003
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: polling shows confidence in the election is a problem with many, many,

1004
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 1: many millions of Americans. What can we do to change that?

1005
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 1: And that has to be done at the state and

1006
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: local level. The federal government cannot do that. And we

1007
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 1: do not want federally controlled elections. The Constitution gives that

1008
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: to the state and the subdivisions of the state, so

1009
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: we want it to stay there. But I would say

1010
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: to every one of your listeners, go to the election

1011
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 1: commission in your county and ask them when it's the

1012
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: last time you purged the voter rolls. Do you need help?

1013
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: Do you need volunteer years to help check addresses, check deaths,

1014
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: check people that have moved out of the county so

1015
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: that these roles are clean. Do you need help validating signatures?

1016
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: Do you need election day workers? And get involved with that.

1017
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 1: That's how that's how we fix this. You have to

1018
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: be sure that the roles are accurate before you mail

1019
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: the ballots out or before you open the voter rolls.

1020
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: And this year, what happened. You had some houses that

1021
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: got five, six, seven ballots. You have some people that

1022
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: had moved out of state, been out of Georgia for

1023
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: five years, and what happened They got a ballot in

1024
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: the mail to their forwarded address. Senator Marshall Blackburn, thanks

1025
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: so much for Tom. We appreciate it, get to be

1026
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 1: with you. Thank you. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

Speaker 1: Join the conversation and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or

Speaker 1: email team Bucket iHeartMedia dot com. You read it on

1029
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: the show. So I can sporadically sexually harass someone as

1030
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: long as I don't go so far as it becomes pervasive. No,

1031
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 1: it is a terrible legal standard, and it has to

1032
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: be changed, and it has to be changed now. That

1033
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: is the action that the revelation in the exposures dictate

1034
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: as the only rational conclusion. You've exposed the wrongdoing. Now

1035
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: do something about it. Now do something about it. Governor

1036
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: Cuomo talking to you about holding people account of off

1037
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: a sexual harassment. Here's the problem, Governor Cuomo now has

1038
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 1: a second accuser who has come forward saying that he

1039
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: has sexually harassed her. Oh okay, So when it was

1040
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: an opportunity with the cameras on him to be mister

1041
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: preening me too, male feminist Cuomo. That was from years ago.

1042
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: By the way that that clip, Cuomo was all, what

1043
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: do you mean you could only sexually arrass on occasion?

1044
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 1: You can't do it at all. That's not good. Don't

1045
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:13,479
Speaker 1: do it. You should have an accountability here, except now

1046
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: he's the guy. He's the guy. But here's my biggest

1047
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 1: takeaway for you, all right, because I know how people

1048
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: are going to focus so much on the sexual harassment

1049
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: stuff with Cuomo. I see some nefarious stuff going on

1050
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 1: here that I don't think is getting the focus that

1051
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: it should. Governor Cuomo in New York is just one

1052
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 1: obvious example of the enormous fraud the media conducted against

1053
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: America to defeat Trump in twenty twenty. They turned villains

1054
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: into heroes and tyranny into freedom. Cuomo, Fauci, the Lincoln Project,

1055
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 1: school closures, anything was justified to be Trump. Anything, right,

1056
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 1: whatever they had to say, whoever they had to run

1057
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:03,439
Speaker 1: cover for, or whatever they had to do, they were

1058
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: willing to do. And I think that you need to

1059
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: understand that. And they were even, I mean, they were

1060
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: even willing to hold up the Lincoln Project for Heaven's sake,

1061
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 1: as some kind of a group that people should should

1062
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 1: pay attention to and listen to. I mean, it's it's

1063
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: it's awful when you look deeper in this, it's awful.

1064
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: It really is. The Lincoln Project and all these other things.

1065
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: But now they're turning around and they're saying, oh, well,

1066
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna hold Cuomo to account. He served his purpose,

1067
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: don't you see. And the bigger scandal is actually the

1068
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 1: nursing home scandal. Oh I know, I know't Buck, but

1069
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 1: this look, he didn't. He didn't actually you know, sexually

1070
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 1: assault anybody. From what we understand right now, he didn't

1071
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: do it. He didn't break any criminal laws. But it

1072
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 1: seems that he is a you know, a kind of

1073
01:04:56,280 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: a sexist in the workplace who says inappropriate thing to subordinates.

1074
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 1: And oh no, I'm sorry, no, they're pardon me, I retract.

1075
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: There was an allegation that he, you know, tried an

1076
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: uninvited uh you know, try to like force himself in

1077
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: a kissing way on a subordinate. So I take that

1078
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 1: so he did actually cross that boundary of physical you know,

1079
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: making a sort of a physical move. Now I'm sure

1080
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 1: he would say that he thought, you know, And then

1081
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: we get into this conversation about all right, I mean,

1082
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, a guy goes in, he thinks that

1083
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 1: he's been given the sign. He's not given the sign.

1084
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: But not your boss. It's not supposed to be your boss, right,

1085
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 1: They weren't on a date. They weren't. You know, he

1086
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 1: wasn't handing her a rose after a romantic candle at

1087
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 1: dinner in front of her apartment and thought that. You know,

1088
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: he got the ghost sign. This is an employee. So

1089
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 1: Cuomo's got some trouble. He's now said that he's doing

1090
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: the usual kind of dance er. He says, well, you know,

1091
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: I may have said some things that may have made

1092
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: some people uncomfortable. You know that that's basically worries. You know,

1093
01:05:58,400 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: I may I may have said a thing that made

1094
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: a person feel bad about a thing he's not saying. Yeah,

1095
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm a slimy creep. But this guy's had problems with

1096
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,959
Speaker 1: women for a very long time. It's been well known.

1097
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: And he's a bully and a jerk and nobody likes him.

1098
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: But yet Democrats keep voting for him. Hm, isn't that

1099
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: so interesting? They want to lecture us on character all

1100
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: the time, don't they. Oh, look at Trump and he's

1101
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: so bad about this or that, but they keep electing

1102
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: people like Cuomo. Really, but I'm sorry, I'm not going

1103
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 1: to take my focus off of what I think is

1104
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 1: still the much, the much bigger look sexually harassing female

1105
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 1: employees who are your subordinates is a bad thing, and

1106
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 1: he shouldn't do it, and he should be held response

1107
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 1: before it. Sending people with COVID nineteen into nursing homes

1108
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 1: with the obvious knowledge that that's going to increase the

1109
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: risk of other seniors in the nursing homes when thousands

1110
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: of thousands of people are dying from COVID enteen, that's

1111
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: a Can we all agree that's a bigger issue? Can

1112
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 1: we all agree that's a more important issue. That's not

1113
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: to say it's not an issue the sexual ressment. It's

1114
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: a bigger issue. But I'm bringing these things up because

1115
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 1: notice that now the media wants to congratulate itself. I've

1116
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 1: seen something. The media wants to congratulate itself on the

1117
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: willingness to report on this. The media wants to congratulate

1118
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: itself on their ability to see this and say, oh, yeah,

1119
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 1: we're we're actually telling you the truth about Governor Cuomo.

1120
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 1: And to that I just have to say, well, well,

1121
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 1: hold on a second here, folks, Hold on a minute.

1122
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:39,240
Speaker 1: This was known that the COVID nineteen disaster with Cuomo

1123
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: was known way before this. Uh you know, sexual harassment

1124
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 1: stuff came out and the media covered it up. Why

1125
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: did they do that, because, as I've said to you,

1126
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 1: that was that was an even more important story. They

1127
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:54,479
Speaker 1: didn't want to cover that, and it was conservative media

1128
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:56,440
Speaker 1: outlets that were actually pushing these stories. Of course, in

1129
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: the election year, Cuomo got loppy. Cuomo got a little

1130
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: too full of himself. You know why, because he realized,

1131
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: this is what everything he's been doing last year. He

1132
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 1: realized that he was given the anti Trump cloak of

1133
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: media invincibility, and he was enjoying it a little too much.

1134
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: And that's what the the Emmy and the book and

1135
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: all this stuff. He started to believe his press releases,

1136
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 1: you know, he started to believe the bs that he

1137
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 1: was putting out there for everybody else. And you know,

1138
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 1: now there may be finally a reckoning, although I'm not

1139
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: confident it will happen. Yeah, Democrats are calling for an

1140
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: investigation of this. Cuomo is gonna say, sure, investigate me.

1141
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 1: He's Ultimately if Cuomo says, you know, I said some

1142
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: things I probably shouldn't have said a little bit appropriate,

1143
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: sorry about that, doesn't resign you think they think that

1144
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 1: anything's gonna happen to him. You think the Democrats would

1145
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,560
Speaker 1: even support a primary against the third term governor, I

1146
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't think that they want to

1147
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: get rid of him even now. But just remember this,

1148
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: while he was of maximum utility, when he was most

1149
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: useful to the Democrats, they protected him at all costs.

1150
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,760
Speaker 1: They held him up. He was a villain and they

1151
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 1: made him into a hero. That was their approach. That's

1152
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 1: what they were doing. And I don't think we should

1153
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 1: let that go out. I don't think we should think

1154
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: we should allow people to to pretend that isn't what happened,

1155
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:35,679
Speaker 1: because it is what happened. He was a villain, and

1156
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: they lied to all of us about an essential area

1157
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 1: of public health and public policy to beat Trump, anything

1158
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 1: to beat Trump. That was the strategy. So they don't

1159
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 1: get any credit now, they don't get any late you know,

1160
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: late extra points or anything, because this story is now broken,

1161
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 1: and they're they're acting like they care about you know

1162
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: me too stuff and all this other. No, when it

1163
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 1: really mattered, they covered for him when it really could

1164
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 1: have done the maximum amount of public benefit to expose

1165
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 1: what was going on with this guy, they had nothing.

1166
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 1: And then there's also just this this liberal mentality of yeah,

1167
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 1: you know, your governor, you send thousands of people to

1168
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 1: their debts and nursing homes and then lie about it

1169
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: and then are tyrant and threatened people who try to

1170
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 1: expose it. Yeah, that's not good, but you know, we

1171
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 1: had to beat Trump. But say the wrong thing to

1172
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 1: a few female employees who come out, you know, then

1173
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they're outraged beyond words. It

1174
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 1: shows you a lot of their priorities, a lot of

1175
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 1: their priorities. That's for sure, certainly not all the truth.

1176
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 1: It's certainly not getting to the bottom of what's really

1177
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: going on here. But Governor Cuomo is finally in. He's

1178
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 1: finally in some hot water, finally not able to just

1179
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:55,520
Speaker 1: get out of this. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

1180
01:10:56,120 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. So what now?

1181
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 1: We heard President Trump tell us his vision for the

1182
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 1: GOP going forward, how he's going to continue to fight,

1183
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 1: what does this look like in practice, and what can

1184
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: we all do to be a part of it. We've

1185
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 1: got Pedro Gonzalez with us now. He is an assistant

1186
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 1: editor at American Greatness and a Chronicles magazine contributor. Pedro,

1187
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: great to have you back. I was going to be here.

1188
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:24,680
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me back on Buck. So tell me

1189
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 1: what do you view as the as the Trump, the

1190
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: Trump roadmap, or the Trump Well, actually, let's start with this.

1191
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,640
Speaker 1: What is his role going to be in all of this?

1192
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 1: He didn't say he's running. What do you think's happening here? Well,

1193
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 1: I'll start by saying that the most important thing Trump

1194
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: did was affecting a change in the way we think

1195
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: and talk about certain issues in twenty sixteen. But as

1196
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 1: far as I can tell, Sepack and other recent events,

1197
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:55,640
Speaker 1: Kell's cast doubt on whether he can, he can or

1198
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 1: should carry that torch forward. And I think that his

1199
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 1: ideal role would be as a kingmaker, someone who, with

1200
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 1: the help of people who are truly aligned with the

1201
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 1: concept of America, first working to promote candidates to change

1202
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: the Republican Party from the inside, because he's made it

1203
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 1: clear he doesn't support a third party, and he claims

1204
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 1: to want to reform the GOP, which in theory that

1205
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 1: that is a good idea and it's I think the

1206
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 1: thing that Trump could do the most damage with. But

1207
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 1: he's not doing that, and instead he's actually trying to

1208
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 1: do both. It seems he's hinted at a run in

1209
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, which I think would be a mistake,

1210
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 1: and he's also he's playing kingmaker, but it's it's not

1211
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 1: really clear. It's well, I should be more frank. His

1212
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 1: endorsements are not good so far, and it actually shows

1213
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 1: that I think he's still very pliable to influence from

1214
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:58,680
Speaker 1: people who are not aligned with America first, people like

1215
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, probably even members of his family like Jared Kushner.

1216
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 1: And I think this comes into view acutely if you

1217
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: look at people like Jerry Moran in Kansas and James

1218
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 1: Timkin in Ohio. You know, now I appreciate Payther. You're

1219
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: you're giving us an honest assessment of all this because

1220
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:21,640
Speaker 1: I've spoken and including at Seepack, but I've spoken to

1221
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: people who with you know, without attribution or off the record,

1222
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 1: depending on who it was, have all given me a

1223
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 1: similar message, which is the top people around Trump, or

1224
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:33,640
Speaker 1: some of the top I should say, some of the

1225
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 1: top people around Trump when he was in office, are

1226
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: willing to say now that there were horrible personnel choices

1227
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:43,640
Speaker 1: made at the very highest level and that some of

1228
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 1: those horrible personnel choices did result in failings or failures

1229
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 1: of implementation of the Trump agenda as he ran in

1230
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. So so what I'm I'm hopeful going forward

1231
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:02,679
Speaker 1: that we can have a a conversation as conservatives where

1232
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 1: you don't just have people screaming maga in everyone's face,

1233
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 1: as if that solves the issue here, because I want

1234
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 1: to be you know, I'm enthusiastic about the future, or

1235
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 1: I should say I'm optimistic about it, and I agree

1236
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: with you about twenty sixteen and what Trump was saying

1237
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 1: then to the degree one can be. But I think

1238
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 1: we also have to be honest about what did not

1239
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 1: work or what did not get done. And also the

1240
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: fact that Trump Trump lost this election, right, and I

1241
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: think people still have you know, when he stands up

1242
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:36,680
Speaker 1: there and says, you know, I'll beat them again. I

1243
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: know he's saying because of the changes and everything goes

1244
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 1: in the fraud, but it was a loss. It still

1245
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 1: goes down in the books as an l right now.

1246
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 1: That has not changed, and we need to understand how

1247
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 1: and why that happened and not just think, oh, the

1248
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: next here's here's what I'll say. If we were on

1249
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty playbook again in four years, Trump will

1250
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: lose that I'm very confident on I think so. I

1251
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 1: think that's right, and I think the way that I

1252
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:05,720
Speaker 1: have framed this to people who also double down, you know,

1253
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 1: Trump won and it was just fraud. That's the reason

1254
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: he's not president right now. The way I'll frame it

1255
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:15,679
Speaker 1: is this, look, if he lost legitimately, he lost. If

1256
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: he lost because he did not take precautions ahead of

1257
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: the election, although there were all these morning signs the

1258
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 1: same as you. I'm not going to name names, but

1259
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:26,760
Speaker 1: I was in contact with people in the White House

1260
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: and I asked them, like, did you guys know that

1261
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 1: that something like this was going to happen? And the

1262
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 1: answer I got was yeah, there were red flags, like

1263
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 1: we were aware that there was something going on, that

1264
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 1: Democrats were changing rules for voting in critical areas and

1265
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 1: things like that. But the view of the administration was

1266
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,720
Speaker 1: we're going to win in such a huge landslide that

1267
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 1: we can slam through anything that happens, like we're just

1268
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:52,439
Speaker 1: going to basically brute force break the wall. And obviously

1269
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. So in either case, Trump lost, either

1270
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:59,480
Speaker 1: legitimately or because of a failure of planning and personnel,

1271
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 1: because the people around him also apparently this is like

1272
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 1: how most of them were thinking, like, oh, that's you know,

1273
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 1: this is such an unstoppable machine that, you know, whatever

1274
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 1: they throw it as, we're just going to crush. That

1275
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 1: didn't happen. So another case he lost. And the question

1276
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 1: is did he learn from that? You know, if he

1277
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 1: doesn't want to think that he lost legitimately, okay, fine,

1278
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 1: but does he acknowledge that the people around him mislet him,

1279
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: that they gave him the wrong information, that they lulled

1280
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: him into a false sense of security. Does he acknowledge that?

1281
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:31,800
Speaker 1: And is he willing to make a fundamental change in

1282
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:36,800
Speaker 1: his personnel philosophy? His endorsements suggests no, and who he's

1283
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 1: aligning him himself with recently also suggests no. Like I

1284
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:43,919
Speaker 1: think that one of the big ones is like Kevin McCarthy,

1285
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 1: who he's chosen as like his post presidency wingman, McCarthy

1286
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: was instrumental in saving Liz Cheney's hide, who then after

1287
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: he saved her, she turns around and basically condemns McCarthy

1288
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 1: for his for his affiliation with Trump. And then you know,

1289
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 1: McConnell does this strange one eighty where he goes from

1290
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 1: basically trying to burn the Trump House down to basically saying,

1291
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 1: I fully support Trump running in twenty twenty four. So

1292
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 1: there's there's some kind of like horse trading that's going

1293
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 1: on beyond behind the scenes, which boils down to Trump

1294
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 1: willing to compromise with people who are like establishment people

1295
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: who we otherwise don't really want to have a lot

1296
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: of influence over policy going forward. And I worry we're speaking,

1297
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 1: we're speaking of Pedro Gonzalez of American greatness, and Pedro.

1298
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 1: I worried that the the promise of Trump, or the

1299
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 1: the idea of Trump at this stage now might in

1300
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 1: the minds of a lot of people. I mean, yeah,

1301
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 1: the Sea Pack Straw poll had Trump at like seventy

1302
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: percent or something of people want to Trump to run again.

1303
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:48,559
Speaker 1: And I just hope that everyone understands that, you know,

1304
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,640
Speaker 1: he didn't win this election, Okay, so we all need

1305
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 1: to stop thinking that, you know, oh, well, he's clearly

1306
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: going to win the next one, because he actually won

1307
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,719
Speaker 1: this one. When I say he didn't win, I'm saying,

1308
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 1: by the way, people always come back to this. You

1309
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: don't think there was. They'll say that you don't think

1310
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 1: there was fraud. I'm like, that's not what I'm saying.

1311
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:08,719
Speaker 1: I'm saying, who is president? Now, Okay, that's what I'm saying.

1312
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 1: That this was a This was a contest between two

1313
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: two political candidates. One of them is president, the other

1314
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:17,599
Speaker 1: is not. And the idea that if we just do

1315
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 1: the same kind of thing, or we put the same

1316
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: candidate forward with the same I mean, look, I'll say

1317
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: this is what he said yesterday. Some of the stuff

1318
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: about Biden was good. Some of the things that were said, um,

1319
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,120
Speaker 1: you know over the weekend at Sea pack by Trump

1320
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: were good. But a lot of it you say, well,

1321
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 1: this is kind of the stump speech he was giving

1322
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. And you know, there's so much a

1323
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 1: seapack was focused on big tech. I see it, and

1324
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 1: I tell people, Okay, Trump had some great tweets about

1325
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 1: big tech, he talked about it. Republicans didn't do a

1326
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: damn thing when they could about big tech. We need

1327
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:55,600
Speaker 1: to be honest about that. Yes, that's exactly right. And

1328
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 1: it's difficult, right because we're trying to separate the man

1329
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 1: from the movement or see the two things independent of

1330
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 1: each other. And that's difficult because Trump the man is

1331
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:08,639
Speaker 1: so intimately associated with the movement. But this is this

1332
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 1: is blinding, I think, because you start to lose sight

1333
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 1: of what is really happening and you instead get hyper

1334
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 1: focused on basically just the rhetoric and the tweets. So

1335
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 1: to your point about Trump complaining about tech censorship, Trump

1336
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:26,600
Speaker 1: gave a direct line of communication to Silicon Valley to

1337
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 1: the White House through the Office of American Innovation, like

1338
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: Tim Cook, Apple, the CEO of Google. All of these

1339
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 1: people who are now crushing conservatives online were able to

1340
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: go in and out of the White House and in

1341
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 1: like consult with people like Avanca Trump over policy. Tim

1342
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: Cook was able to actually prevent h ONEB reform in

1343
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen by working through the Office of American through

1344
01:19:55,960 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 1: the OAI with Jared Kushner and like his to and

1345
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: they were basically able to convince Trump to not do

1346
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: HMB visa reform in twenty seventeen. So to your point, like,

1347
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:10,760
Speaker 1: we have to see things clearly, and Trump could serve

1348
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 1: a really good role by, like I said, giving the

1349
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 1: nod to worthwhile candidates, but instead he's trying to do

1350
01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: both things, and it doesn't look like he's going to

1351
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 1: do both either thing. Well, yeah, I'm I'm also I'm

1352
01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 1: trying to get everyone understand this because you know, even

1353
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 1: early on, I was a critic of the of the

1354
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 1: you can't have your kids in the White House as

1355
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:36,280
Speaker 1: senior advisors thing, and I got a lot of pushback

1356
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 1: from the MAGA faithful about this because they would say, well,

1357
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:42,479
Speaker 1: he needs people he could trust. And I understand the

1358
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:44,680
Speaker 1: desire to want to find a way to not you know,

1359
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:46,640
Speaker 1: people were very excited about Trump and they you know,

1360
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 1: the promise of trumps them and all this stuff. But

1361
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:51,120
Speaker 1: I understood how this would actually work in practice. And

1362
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:54,080
Speaker 1: now again to conversations I had, including at Seepack with

1363
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 1: people whose names everybody listening to this would know, but

1364
01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:00,120
Speaker 1: I was speaking them off the record about it and

1365
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,360
Speaker 1: the way it worked in practice for everybody understands like

1366
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 1: why I don't have I don't I have no personal

1367
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:07,720
Speaker 1: problem with like Jared Kushner, for example, It's not it's

1368
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 1: I know how these things go. And if you you know,

1369
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 1: disagreed with Jared on criminal justice or form, which by

1370
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 1: the way, was the approach to BLM in the summer

1371
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 1: twenty twenty was a disaster, and Jared had had his

1372
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 1: fingerprints all over that. The Trump white House was trying

1373
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: to initially trying to be conciliatory and concede, and there

1374
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 1: was all this that was a disaster. But if you

1375
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 1: if you were a vocal voice saying don't do this, well,

1376
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:36,839
Speaker 1: then Jared just shut you out from the from actual

1377
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 1: access to the president on everything else. There's what people

1378
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: who do understand. So he was in a position to say, oh,

1379
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: you're not gonna go with me on this thing, well,

1380
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 1: then on you know, your trade agenda, or on or

1381
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:50,479
Speaker 1: on immigration, you don't get to you don't get to

1382
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 1: see the president, you don't have the presidency here, or

1383
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:54,720
Speaker 1: he'll even undermine that person with the president. That's the

1384
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 1: way it was actually working in that White House, right right,

1385
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 1: and this and again, like you said, this is not

1386
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:03,640
Speaker 1: about picking a fight with one individual who happens to

1387
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:07,639
Speaker 1: be Trump's son in law. This is like personnel's policy.

1388
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:09,639
Speaker 1: We say that all the time, but I don't think

1389
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 1: we really appreciate how much like what that actually means.

1390
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 1: And this is the worst case study of that of

1391
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:22,559
Speaker 1: delegating to someone like this who really kind of operated

1392
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:26,320
Speaker 1: like a prime minister, and like I personally knew really

1393
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 1: really good people among the very few who are really

1394
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,799
Speaker 1: close to the president, and we're really competent and totally

1395
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:36,800
Speaker 1: aligned with us in terms of America first. And this

1396
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:40,720
Speaker 1: is what they experienced when they would voice oppositions to

1397
01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:43,720
Speaker 1: things that Kushner and his associates would want to do,

1398
01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 1: Like he would notice that he wouldn't get attached to

1399
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:51,400
Speaker 1: emails anymore, or they wouldn't get called to meetings anymore. Like,

1400
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:53,920
Speaker 1: this is a real thing, and I don't think people

1401
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 1: understand it enough, and if you bring it up, it's

1402
01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:00,080
Speaker 1: kind of dismissed. It's like, well, that's a secondary concern. Well, no,

1403
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 1: it's not, because personnel like who you have on staff

1404
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: is going to define the agenda in reality, Like forget

1405
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 1: about the rhetoric like the law and order tweets and

1406
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Personnel is going to decide what you'll

1407
01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 1: actually get out of an administration, out of a candidate.

1408
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,240
Speaker 1: I totally agree. We're speaking of Pedro Gonzalez. He's an

1409
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 1: American greatness. So Pedro, I just I'm trying to find

1410
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:28,680
Speaker 1: a way to speak to people across the country about.

1411
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:33,240
Speaker 1: You know, my hope here is that we will have

1412
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 1: a Trump machinery, Trump machinery ideology, ideas movement, but that

1413
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:43,479
Speaker 1: it isn't all wrapped around what because I mean, I've

1414
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 1: said this, his his age is a real factor here,

1415
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 1: and people I know don't like to hear that, but

1416
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 1: you know, he's going to be Joe Biden's age the

1417
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:52,920
Speaker 1: next time around. And I said Joe Biden was too old,

1418
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 1: and I think he is too old, you know, so

1419
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 1: I think that's a concern. Health can deteruriate very rapidly.

1420
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 1: And I say desuriate, I don't mean anything ter happening,

1421
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 1: but I just mean, you know, you slow down, you

1422
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 1: get more tired. That's what happens when you get close

1423
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 1: to being eighty years old. And I worry that people

1424
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 1: are still so emotionally invested in Trump that nothing else

1425
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: will be acceptable to them, and that we'll be leading

1426
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 1: the Republican Party off a cliff essentially unless we kind

1427
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,519
Speaker 1: of figure out that's the way is not to put

1428
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:21,639
Speaker 1: out all the eggs in the in the Trump as

1429
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 1: person basket. Right. No, that's exactly right. And I think

1430
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 1: that it's I found that it's often the case that

1431
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,160
Speaker 1: when people ask you, well, if not Trump, then who,

1432
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 1: And my answer is someone like the Santis, or Josh

1433
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 1: Holly or even Tom Cotton. These are all people I'm

1434
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 1: critical of. I don't think there is such a thing

1435
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:45,240
Speaker 1: as a perfect political candidate, but I think that there

1436
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:49,720
Speaker 1: are alternatives. But it's often the case that what I'll

1437
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 1: here in response is like, you know, those candidates will

1438
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 1: somehow fall short of Trump, and the argument is always

1439
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:59,679
Speaker 1: Trump's celebrity, like that Trump's celebrity is the most important

1440
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 1: as back to Trump. I don't think that's actually a

1441
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 1: good argument because what you're saying is and often the

1442
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 1: criticisms of like the Santas, Hollycock, whatever whatever criticisms you

1443
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,559
Speaker 1: make of them, they can also apply to Trump. And

1444
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 1: so it always boils down to his celebrity. That's not

1445
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 1: good because what you're kind of what you're unwittingly admitting,

1446
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 1: is that it's based exclusively on his personality and nothing like,

1447
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,639
Speaker 1: nothing substantive, and that's that's really not a good place

1448
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 1: to be. I hope we can continue to have this

1449
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:34,200
Speaker 1: conversation among Republicans, Conservatives, all the goop faithful out there,

1450
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:37,240
Speaker 1: and everyone realize that it's one that needs to happen, folks,

1451
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 1: because you know, it's I know it's it's kind of

1452
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 1: like a exciting line of people to hear, you know,

1453
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 1: for Trump to say I'll win a third time. He

1454
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,400
Speaker 1: didn't win the second time, and we need to figure

1455
01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 1: out if he's gonna run again. We got to make

1456
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:52,720
Speaker 1: sure he wins the next time, all right, And and

1457
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 1: that's going to require a lot of preparation, conversation, and

1458
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 1: even a little bit of soul searching with thin the

1459
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:01,280
Speaker 1: goop for what's really going on on here. But let's

1460
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 1: let's make sure we check out American greatness. Our friend

1461
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:06,720
Speaker 1: Pedro Gonzalez writing there. Pedro, thanks so much for joining us,

1462
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 1: Thanks for having you're in the Freedom Height. Thanks for

1463

Speaker 1: listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest

1464
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 1: from Buck at buck Sexton dot com. Boston Public schools

1465
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 1: suspend advanced academic program due to racial equity concerns. You're

1466
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: going to see more of this. Democrats push this idea

1467
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:33,679
Speaker 1: all the time. Now, this was from the College Fixed

1468
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:35,400
Speaker 1: dot com. But it's a story. It's been all over

1469
01:26:35,439 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 1: the place, a lot of people covering this one last

1470
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 1: few days. The Boston Public school system is getting rid

1471
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:46,599
Speaker 1: of an advanced learning program for four fifth and sixth

1472
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 1: graders because who wants to guess, too many white and

1473
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:55,639
Speaker 1: Asian students, too many white and Asian students. It's not good,

1474
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 1: not allowed, not allowed. It's a problem. This was they're

1475
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,600
Speaker 1: telling you. They're saying it's a problem. And this is

1476
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:02,240
Speaker 1: something that comes up in other contexts too. I always

1477
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: tell you about the story that happens. Well, it's really

1478
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,960
Speaker 1: an ongoing story, but it'll get a bunch of attention

1479
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:12,320
Speaker 1: every couple of years. Where the most elite public school

1480
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:17,719
Speaker 1: in New York City called Stevesant High School, is something

1481
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:22,760
Speaker 1: like seventy percent plus Asian, and there is it's a

1482
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:25,559
Speaker 1: there's a small, a much smaller percentage of the school

1483
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 1: is black and Latino than is representative of the New

1484
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,880
Speaker 1: York City population. And so they they say this is

1485
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 1: a problem. But instead of addressing, well, how do we

1486
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: work in more work at more predominantly black and Latino

1487
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:43,400
Speaker 1: schools to get more students into into the school, what

1488
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: they do is they say, no, the issue is, let's

1489
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:48,639
Speaker 1: just change it at the end. Let's just give the benefits.

1490
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:52,320
Speaker 1: Let's treat everybody as though they've achieved the same degree

1491
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 1: of academic academic excellence when that's clearly not the case.

1492
01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 1: That's what equity means. Equity means at the end, it's

1493
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:07,519
Speaker 1: it's equality of result. And increasingly Democrats have transition to that.

1494
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:11,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's a large part because so many

1495
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 1: of their programs meant to address equality issues have been unsuccessful. Right,

1496
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 1: they've been unsuccessful that it hasn't really changed. And so

1497
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 1: what they do is they treat this. They treat merit

1498
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:28,240
Speaker 1: as essentially an identity politics spoils system, you know, So

1499
01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 1: merit isn't really a thing. There's just what do different

1500
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 1: groups get and how do we and how can we

1501
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: distribute that to make those groups happier and give us

1502
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:42,080
Speaker 1: political power. It's not about what does any individual earn.

1503
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 1: It's not about having principles. It's just, well, we're going

1504
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 1: to have more of a giveaway to this group than

1505
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:49,160
Speaker 1: that group because we want them to vote for us.

1506
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 1: It's very, very damaging for society, and they do this.

1507
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:57,160
Speaker 1: Democrats keep coming up against this in cities across the country.

1508
01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:00,080
Speaker 1: They won't address the real issues and real concerns and

1509
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 1: real ways to work with this. Nope, they just want

1510
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:05,400
Speaker 1: to change the numbers around so that they feel good

1511
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:10,200
Speaker 1: about the end result and call it equity. This is

1520
01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:56,080
Speaker 1: come up to you and see back and do it?

1521
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:59,560
Speaker 1: Because no nobody came. Oh we did somebody. I don't know.

1522
01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:01,960
Speaker 1: Maybe the first day I was super I had for

1523
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:05,840
Speaker 1: no apparent reason. The first night I was in Florida,

1524
01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 1: I was really happy to be down there. Actually, you know,

1525
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 1: my had I had a comfortable bed, you know, everything

1526
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,559
Speaker 1: was fine. I could not sleep a wink. I have

1527
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 1: no idea why. Total complete insombidia my first night down

1528
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 1: in Florida. So I was like walking around. If you

1529
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:24,559
Speaker 1: saw me that first what was it Thursday, folks of Seapack,

1530
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:28,160
Speaker 1: I looked like I was, you know, one foot out

1531
01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:30,960
Speaker 1: of the grave because I felt just man. When you

1532
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:33,479
Speaker 1: don't get a night's sleep. The next day you're just

1533
01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 1: like man like I was mummy walking around. It was

1534
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:39,439
Speaker 1: not good, and I had to do a show and

1535
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:41,240
Speaker 1: all kinds of interviews and stuff. But I got through

1536
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 1: it because I'm the Buckster. That's how we roll right more. Absolutely,

1537
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:48,400
Speaker 1: even though you're always tired, you still do a good show. Yeah. Thanks,

1538
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:50,840
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, So we got through it. But no people,

1539
01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:55,040
Speaker 1: people are the Tucker joke. I appreciate it. It's fine, Pablo,

1540
01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:58,320
Speaker 1: hey buck. I was thinking about the difference between the

1541
01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:00,679
Speaker 1: Trump first one hundred days and the Biden first days.

1542
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:03,680
Speaker 1: Trump was being land based with how racist he is,

1543
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:06,160
Speaker 1: and he was giving billionaires a big tax break. This

1544
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:09,000
Speaker 1: tax break led to many companies giving raises or bonuses

1545
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:12,560
Speaker 1: to their employees. As a small business owner, this was

1546
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:16,479
Speaker 1: welcome and our employees received well deserved raises. Day one.

1547
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:19,240
Speaker 1: Biden has created a large hole in the oil industry,

1548
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 1: causing many high paying jobs to be lost. Living in Alaska,

1549
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 1: we had waited for years to open anwar, but again

1550
01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 1: day one of the Biden administration, it was closed so

1551
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 1: much for governing for every American. The actions of President

1552
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:35,800
Speaker 1: did benefit a lot of Americans, or President Trump did

1553
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 1: benefit a lot of Americans. So far, Biden has hurt

1554
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people, most of whom are either right

1555
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:48,559
Speaker 1: leaning or work in a very right leaning industry. Shields High, Yeah, Pablo,

1556
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:50,160
Speaker 1: That's what I've been saying. It's not even like the

1557
01:31:50,200 --> 01:31:53,320
Speaker 1: stuff that Biden is doing. I disagree with, but I

1558
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:55,639
Speaker 1: recognize it's going to be great for a lot of people,

1559
01:31:55,760 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 1: or it's going to give a really clear, worthwhile benefit

1560
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:03,320
Speaker 1: to the American people. Overall. A lot of what Biden's

1561
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:09,120
Speaker 1: done is very narrow, very self interested for him politically,

1562
01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 1: but but for special interests, and that's really what they're

1563
01:32:14,240 --> 01:32:16,320
Speaker 1: what their main concern is, that's really what they're most

1564
01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:20,439
Speaker 1: focused on. Richard Buck. Do you remember how back of

1565
01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:23,200
Speaker 1: the day the commedist Russians would give their female Olympic

1566
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:28,840
Speaker 1: athletes testosterone and steroids to give them the advantage. Sometimes

1567
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:31,599
Speaker 1: the rumors said that the commie woman athletes were really

1568
01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:35,240
Speaker 1: men dressed as women. The West, especially America, would denounce

1569
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:37,599
Speaker 1: it and mock the commies. How do we go from

1570
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:40,800
Speaker 1: that to this transgender sports madness of today? Why is

1571
01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:42,680
Speaker 1: it not mocked with the same fervor. This is not

1572
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:48,599
Speaker 1: swords that identify as shields high Richard. I do remember

1573
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:53,200
Speaker 1: people talking a lot about and pointing out the clear

1574
01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:55,960
Speaker 1: unfairness of I think it was like the East German

1575
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,400
Speaker 1: swim team or something in particular. People would say, and

1576
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:02,040
Speaker 1: where they would have athletes, you'd say, is that person

1577
01:33:02,160 --> 01:33:06,960
Speaker 1: really female? And there are cases, and it's worth noting

1578
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:12,360
Speaker 1: that there are people who are biologically have some of

1579
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:17,560
Speaker 1: a gender crossover situation, but that's not what transgenderism. Transgenderism

1580
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:23,400
Speaker 1: is a psychological, purely psychological reality. It's not there's no

1581
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:27,080
Speaker 1: physical You do not have to have any physical manifestation

1582
01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:31,160
Speaker 1: of anything to be considered transgender. So remember that it's

1583
01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:33,840
Speaker 1: a different thing to talk about the rare cases where

1584
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:38,720
Speaker 1: there are some of the reproductive organs of both sexes

1585
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:42,680
Speaker 1: present that can happen. I forge there's a term that

1586
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:44,439
Speaker 1: people use for it what I want, but that's not

1587
01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:46,639
Speaker 1: the term people like to use anymore. If there's another,

1588
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:50,519
Speaker 1: I think I think it's intersects might be the way

1589
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:53,240
Speaker 1: they do. I think that's how it's described now properly described.

1590
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:58,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, the reason Richard, to answer your question about

1591
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:02,000
Speaker 1: transgender athletes and why this is not being made fun

1592
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,120
Speaker 1: of the way that would have had passed. It's because

1593
01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:08,679
Speaker 1: it's now considered part of a civil rights crusade. So

1594
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:13,599
Speaker 1: what the left believes is that if you have a

1595
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 1: problem with transgender this is what the true hardcore left believes.

1596
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:21,320
Speaker 1: If you have a problem with transgender you know, track

1597
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:27,840
Speaker 1: and field, um, you know, athletes, let's say, you are

1598
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:33,040
Speaker 1: really no different, uh than than somebody that had, you know,

1599
01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:35,759
Speaker 1: a problem with you know, women, women in the workplace

1600
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:39,799
Speaker 1: or something. I mean, you're you're a bigot, You're somebody

1601
01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 1: who was you know. It's it's not that different in

1602
01:34:43,320 --> 01:34:45,640
Speaker 1: the left's mind from saying, you know, being opposed to

1603
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:49,920
Speaker 1: interracial marriage even or something. They view this as as

1604
01:34:50,080 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 1: part of a moral crusade and they're on the right

1605
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:55,560
Speaker 1: side and anybody who is opposed to them is on

1606
01:34:55,600 --> 01:35:00,479
Speaker 1: the wrong side. And that's definitely, um, that definitely for them,

1607
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:03,800
Speaker 1: transgender all transgender issues. So just when you when you

1608
01:35:03,800 --> 01:35:05,679
Speaker 1: put it in that context, I think you can understand

1609
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:09,679
Speaker 1: much more clearly why the left viewses the way they do,

1610
01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:15,679
Speaker 1: even though there'll be obvious manifestations of it. Like a guy,

1611
01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:18,519
Speaker 1: you know, a biological male who's much larger, stronger, and

1612
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:23,000
Speaker 1: faster than females comically so, and we've seen examples of

1613
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:25,640
Speaker 1: this already, and we'll win all these different trophies and

1614
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:29,559
Speaker 1: events and things that that that is clear, we can

1615
01:35:29,600 --> 01:35:33,880
Speaker 1: all see it. It doesn't matter, it's worth the absurdity

1616
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:39,920
Speaker 1: of it because it's it's a civil rights struggle. That's

1617
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:43,720
Speaker 1: how they see this. And they've used civil rights struggles

1618
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:46,280
Speaker 1: as as on all sort of the same moral plane too.

1619
01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:49,760
Speaker 1: They've used civil rights struggles as you know, once it's

1620
01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:54,360
Speaker 1: under that banner, it's all the same moral imperative is

1621
01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:58,439
Speaker 1: behind it. So just noting that's why I also want

1622
01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:00,280
Speaker 1: to take a moment. I really appreciate it and how

1623
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 1: many people came up to me and had really nice

1624
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:04,280
Speaker 1: things to say about the radio show at Seatpack. I

1625
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:06,920
Speaker 1: know that people listening to this on whatever two hundred

1626
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:09,439
Speaker 1: stations something like that across the country and a vast,

1627
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:12,599
Speaker 1: a vast majority probably you know, one in a thousand

1628
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:17,640
Speaker 1: people listening to this. Actually we're at Seapack. But it

1629
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:21,920
Speaker 1: really was nice, Especially these days it feels pretty isolating

1630
01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:25,120
Speaker 1: to be a conservative in New York City and to

1631
01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:26,680
Speaker 1: be able to see folks who came up to me

1632
01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:29,280
Speaker 1: and they wanted to take photos and everything else. It's

1633
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:32,720
Speaker 1: it's really appreciate it, that's all. And I mean that

1634
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:34,560
Speaker 1: I was think it's so funny when people feel a

1635
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:36,719
Speaker 1: little hesitant. They're like, hey, kend of, is it okay?

1636
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:39,519
Speaker 1: Of course you like my radio show. I put my

1637
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 1: I pour my life into this thing. It's like I

1638
01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:42,960
Speaker 1: sit here at the radio mic and open a vein

1639
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:46,679
Speaker 1: for three hours every day. So if you're getting utility

1640
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 1: out of it, if it entertains you, if it informs you,

1641
01:36:49,760 --> 01:36:52,559
Speaker 1: that's the best. I mean. I love hearing that. So

1642
01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:54,519
Speaker 1: and people who also called me and say that this

1643
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:56,519
Speaker 1: is now that I am I am now their favorite

1644
01:36:56,600 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 1: radio show. And a lot of people said that that

1645
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:03,040
Speaker 1: I am I am now their favorite radio show. You know,

1646
01:37:03,880 --> 01:37:07,760
Speaker 1: that was very meaningful. So I appreciated that too, and

1647
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:12,320
Speaker 1: I hope you will help spread the word. Thomas Buck

1648
01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:14,200
Speaker 1: love you and listen every day. Thanks for keeping me

1649
01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:16,400
Speaker 1: safe and warm at night. Their day, you gave a

1650
01:37:16,479 --> 01:37:20,040
Speaker 1: kind of backhanded dismissal of President Trump's tax cuts. Well,

1651
01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:22,320
Speaker 1: I understand the point you're making regarding what elle should

1652
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 1: have been accomplished. I do believe downplaying of the tax

1653
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:28,040
Speaker 1: cuts is misleading. Just yesterday you were bragging about the

1654
01:37:28,080 --> 01:37:30,960
Speaker 1: economy President Trump passed on to his successor. But the

1655
01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:34,559
Speaker 1: very foundation of this economic boom was those tax cuts

1656
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:36,880
Speaker 1: along with the deregulation. Just a thought, please keep up

1657
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:40,240
Speaker 1: the great work, Thomas. I think that's fair. I think

1658
01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:42,799
Speaker 1: you understand the context in which I said it. Obviously

1659
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:47,000
Speaker 1: liked and support the tax cuts. But you know, now,

1660
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:49,920
Speaker 1: now I'll come with the other side of this, you know,

1661
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 1: the the other side of the coin. Here, Democrats trying

1662
01:37:52,960 --> 01:38:00,680
Speaker 1: to make structural, long term changes to economics, to healthcare, immigration,

1663
01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:05,439
Speaker 1: Republicans fiddle with the tax rate. That doesn't mean that

1664
01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 1: fiddling with the tax rate is an important it is,

1665
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:13,760
Speaker 1: but it is temporary and so there's always a limitation

1666
01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:18,280
Speaker 1: on this that we deal with. And I think that

1667
01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:22,479
Speaker 1: Trump on the economy and a lot of ways what

1668
01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:26,160
Speaker 1: he actually deregulation was good, although those regulations are coming back,

1669
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:30,360
Speaker 1: but it was just a pro business attitude that he

1670
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:35,880
Speaker 1: was not looking to punish capitalists for doing, you know,

1671
01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:39,200
Speaker 1: for running their businesses to make a profit. And you

1672
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:41,559
Speaker 1: look at the Obama administration before them, and yeah, if

1673
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:43,960
Speaker 1: you're big tax I mean they're companies that Democrats favor.

1674
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 1: Big business and big government like each other. They go

1675
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:50,360
Speaker 1: hand in hand. But when you start to look more

1676
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:53,439
Speaker 1: at some of the other things that that Trump could

1677
01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:57,920
Speaker 1: have done, I think that there were some missues. Look,

1678
01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, okay, yeah, the economy was good for now,

1679
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:02,920
Speaker 1: it's not you know, I mean it's and I say

1680
01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:05,040
Speaker 1: it's not, I mean weird lockdowns. There's a lot of

1681
01:39:05,080 --> 01:39:08,360
Speaker 1: things going on right now that are that are distorting

1682
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 1: the situation. But there needed to be more done than

1683
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:13,760
Speaker 1: just tax cuts. I guess Thomas's and I think you

1684
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 1: know what I was saying on that. But your point

1685
01:39:15,400 --> 01:39:18,080
Speaker 1: is fair and that you know, I could say tax

1686
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:20,160
Speaker 1: cuts were not enough, but that's not to say tax

1687
01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:23,479
Speaker 1: cuts were not good, and I should be I should

1688
01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:26,840
Speaker 1: maintain that balance. Tax cuts were good, but we needed

1689
01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:30,719
Speaker 1: more than that. Eric love your show. I find myself

1690
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:33,040
Speaker 1: using your voice imitations when making fun of libs with

1691
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 1: co workers. I'm up in North Idaho where we have

1692
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:39,040
Speaker 1: a mask mandate imposed by some unelected officials at the

1693
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:43,839
Speaker 1: local health department. Very few people comply. The sheriff announced

1694
01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:45,960
Speaker 1: that they will not enforce it. I can go anywhere

1695
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:49,000
Speaker 1: that I want except Costco without a mask. We even

1696
01:39:49,040 --> 01:39:51,960
Speaker 1: have full restaurants where employees do not wear masks. On

1697
01:39:51,960 --> 01:39:54,960
Speaker 1: the flip side, I work across the border in Washington,

1698
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:57,719
Speaker 1: where everything is still more or less shut down. Everyone

1699
01:39:57,760 --> 01:39:59,880
Speaker 1: in Washington drives over to Idaho to go to bars

1700
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 1: shop without a mask. We also have better COVID numbers

1701
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:05,880
Speaker 1: than the county in Washington. My son has been in

1702
01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:09,200
Speaker 1: preschool this whole time with zero precautions, no kids with masks,

1703
01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 1: no teachers with masks, no plexic glass, nothing, zero COVID

1704
01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:15,640
Speaker 1: cases at his school. These Blue states are out of

1705
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:17,200
Speaker 1: their mind. I don't know how you do it. Keep

1706
01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:20,559
Speaker 1: up the fight, Eric, Yeah, look I pre first, I'll

1707
01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:22,639
Speaker 1: appreciate you like the show. And second of all, I'll

1708
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:25,559
Speaker 1: just say that, yeah that the Democrats, this is not

1709
01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:29,639
Speaker 1: they're not doing this. It's not a reality based world

1710
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 1: they're living in. This is not rooted in what is best,

1711
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:40,720
Speaker 1: This is not rooted in what is um you know

1712
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:47,680
Speaker 1: the facts driving this. This is politics now. And I

1713
01:40:47,720 --> 01:40:52,320
Speaker 1: will say in Florida yet, people they everyone was kind

1714
01:40:52,320 --> 01:40:54,680
Speaker 1: of like, all right, yeah, mask mandate, but it was like,

1715
01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, put it on when you can. We know

1716
01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:58,519
Speaker 1: it's not perfect. Don't worry about it. You know they were,

1717
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:02,639
Speaker 1: they're The added was very different and much more sane

1718
01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:08,360
Speaker 1: than the attitude that you get in um New York City,

1719
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:13,920
Speaker 1: where where people view you as a moral monster. If

1720
01:41:13,960 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 1: you've if you're in violation of a mask statute, like

1721
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:19,720
Speaker 1: you're you're putting them I'm being serious with you. You're

1722
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:22,760
Speaker 1: Their attitude, the overwhelming attitude of New York City is

1723
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you're supposed to have a mask on

1724
01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:28,080
Speaker 1: and you don't. You are putting my life at risk.

1725
01:41:29,400 --> 01:41:32,680
Speaker 1: That's really what they think. In Florida, even we were

1726
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:35,559
Speaker 1: at Sea Packet Orlando at the Hyatt, and I give

1727
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:37,960
Speaker 1: high credit for not not bending the knee of the

1728
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:40,200
Speaker 1: the outrage mob that came out for them, because that

1729
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:44,320
Speaker 1: did happen too. But you know, we're in in Florida

1730
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 1: and the high it didn't didn't bend the knee, but

1731
01:41:46,240 --> 01:41:50,040
Speaker 1: you had people were standing around with mask up, signs

1732
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:52,040
Speaker 1: up and stuff like that. But I'll say that at

1733
01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:53,479
Speaker 1: least and a couple of times I was told put

1734
01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:55,120
Speaker 1: the pull my mask up because I had to pull

1735
01:41:55,160 --> 01:41:59,160
Speaker 1: it down for photos and things. Uh, it just was

1736
01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:03,880
Speaker 1: far less intense and just more reasonable maybe people need

1737
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:08,640
Speaker 1: to calm down, but they won't because they won't calm

1738
01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:11,559
Speaker 1: down till Fauci tells them it's okay. This is the

Speaker 1: He may read it on the show next up, Hey Buck,

1742
01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:26,000
Speaker 1: I was glad to hear your take on the Terminator

1743
01:42:26,040 --> 01:42:28,479
Speaker 1: movies the other day. I agree there was only the

1744
01:42:28,520 --> 01:42:33,160
Speaker 1: first Terminator and T two. These supposed subsequent movies do

1745
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:36,200
Speaker 1: not need to exist because they were awful and T

1746
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:39,640
Speaker 1: two ended it perfectly. Twenty years later, I still think

1747
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:41,800
Speaker 1: T two is my favorite action movie of all time,

1748
01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:45,200
Speaker 1: possibly tied with True Lies. Arnold put out some good

1749
01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:46,679
Speaker 1: stuff in his day. Can you have the good work

1750
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:50,639
Speaker 1: on the great movie taste? Well, Ethan, clearly you have

1751
01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 1: great movie taste, So let's let's start with that. Thank

1752
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:59,960
Speaker 1: you so much for writing in and I A True

1753
01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:02,559
Speaker 1: Lies is a little silly, a little too silly for

1754
01:43:02,600 --> 01:43:04,640
Speaker 1: me in some parts, like a little too absurd. I

1755
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:08,599
Speaker 1: know it's a kind of action comedy, but you know

1756
01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:11,479
Speaker 1: where they had the person on the missile getting fired

1757
01:43:11,520 --> 01:43:12,680
Speaker 1: at the other and I'm like, come on do we

1758
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:14,200
Speaker 1: have to Is it really going to be that silly?

1759
01:43:14,200 --> 01:43:15,920
Speaker 1: It's it got a little a little crazy meat that

1760
01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say. T two is a fantastic A

1761
01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:20,720
Speaker 1: plus action movie that definitely belongs in the top ten

1762
01:43:20,760 --> 01:43:24,000
Speaker 1: all time, and you could certainly make the case is

1763
01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:27,680
Speaker 1: the number. You can make a case it is the

1764
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:33,000
Speaker 1: number one action movie of all time. So I'm with you.

1765
01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm with you on all that. Producer Mark, have we

1766
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:38,840
Speaker 1: asked if you have a favorite action movie? Huh? I

1767
01:43:38,920 --> 01:43:41,000
Speaker 1: probably do, I just off the top of my head.

1768
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:43,320
Speaker 1: It's hard to save the best action movie I've ever seen.

1769
01:43:43,840 --> 01:43:46,280
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of them. Yeah, there's a lot

1770
01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:48,280
Speaker 1: of good action movies out there. I feel like as

1771
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:50,040
Speaker 1: a genre, it's died down a little bit. You don't

1772
01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:53,040
Speaker 1: have quite the same kind of guys with giant muscles

1773
01:43:53,120 --> 01:43:55,160
Speaker 1: running around with machine guns shooting all the bad guys

1774
01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:56,680
Speaker 1: movies you used to have. There's still some of that,

1775
01:43:56,680 --> 01:44:00,400
Speaker 1: but there's a lot less. Brian, I hope you enjoyed Sepac.

1776
01:44:00,520 --> 01:44:02,680
Speaker 1: Really wish I could be there. I work remotely in

1777
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:06,160
Speaker 1: PA and I've been very irate with the handling of

1778
01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:08,840
Speaker 1: the pandemic and election. My Governor Tom Wolfe not quite

1779
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 1: as bad as Cuomo New York. Wolf is out at

1780
01:44:10,960 --> 01:44:13,160
Speaker 1: the end of next year. If you see your buddy

1781
01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:15,040
Speaker 1: Sean Parnell down there, see if you'd throw it down

1782
01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:17,519
Speaker 1: his hat in the ring for Pennsylvania governor. We need

1783
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:19,920
Speaker 1: to turn this Pennsylvania back to a Republican run state.

1784
01:44:19,960 --> 01:44:24,040
Speaker 1: I know Sean would win well, Brian, I love that idea.

1785
01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:27,639
Speaker 1: I would. I would back Sean Parnell for governor with

1786
01:44:27,680 --> 01:44:30,759
Speaker 1: everything I had, just like I tried with his congressional seat.

1787
01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:33,880
Speaker 1: Sean would be a great governor for the state of Pennsylvania. Actually,

1788
01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:36,479
Speaker 1: I'll raise it with him. I don't know Sean. Sean's

1789
01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:38,679
Speaker 1: gonna run again for something and he's gonna win, so

1790
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 1: he'll he'll it's just a matter of time before he's

1791
01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:47,720
Speaker 1: a a an elected Republican that's pursuing a MAGA agenda

1792
01:44:47,960 --> 01:44:52,320
Speaker 1: and doing so as a also a former combat veteran,

1793
01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:55,320
Speaker 1: best selling author, etc. And you guys all know Sean's

1794
01:44:55,360 --> 01:44:57,559
Speaker 1: a good friend of mine. He's he's a great, great dude,

1795
01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 1: and I think he'd be an excellent ex governor, excellent congressman,

1796
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:07,920
Speaker 1: you name it. So I will pass that along all right, Daniel, Hey, oss,

1797
01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:10,639
Speaker 1: where is our furry comrade COMMI bear a quick question?

1798
01:45:11,080 --> 01:45:13,840
Speaker 1: Can we please start calling Biden uncle Joe? It's a

1799
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:16,599
Speaker 1: perfect nickname for him. I don't think ours is quite

1800
01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:19,599
Speaker 1: as communist as the original, but I could see people saying, well,

1801
01:45:19,640 --> 01:45:22,760
Speaker 1: certainly uncle Joe doesn't know it's this bad. Added to that,

1802
01:45:22,840 --> 01:45:25,080
Speaker 1: ours is imitating the original by clearing the military people

1803
01:45:25,080 --> 01:45:29,320
Speaker 1: who are politically undesirable as always, shields high and never forget.

1804
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:36,200
Speaker 1: It's all the reflexes, Daniel, I hear you on commy Bear.

1805
01:45:36,400 --> 01:45:38,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've thought about trying to bring him back,

1806
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:41,280
Speaker 1: but it's he's he's difficult to work with. It's not

1807
01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:43,840
Speaker 1: an easy thing those who are original saturirest Squad. Do

1808
01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:44,920
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about? The rest of the

1809
01:45:44,960 --> 01:45:47,320
Speaker 1: country's like a buck having some kind of a some

1810
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:51,400
Speaker 1: kind of a psychological break with reality. But I'm definitely

1811
01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:53,920

1812
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:59,360
