WEBVTT - Everybody Hates The Love Gov 0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:04.920 You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:07.560 you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart radio app 0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:11.160 or wherever you get your podcasts. What is the Republican 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:13.800 Party going to do? What does it mean to be 0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:16.600 a Republican today? These are all questions that people are 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.960 posing with some frequency, considering that we've had a rough 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:22.840 go of a the last few months, haven't we. Let's 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:25.080 just all say it. It has not been what we 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:29.560 were planning on. Donald Trump is not president anymore. Democrats 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:31.240 have control of the House and the Senate, you know 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:34.520 how this all goes. And we haven't heard from Trump 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:36.640 in a while, and that is meant that the media 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:40.200 has been able to construct this narrative of a Republican 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:45.680 Party that is about to either go into tremendous fracture, 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:50.440 a GOP civil war as they're calling it, or that 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:56.080 will just start to fade into irrelevancy. Donald Trump showed 0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:00.040 up at Sepack, I was down there in Florida, and 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:05.520 and here's what he said about what it means right 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:09.520 now for the GOP. What is the GOP play sixteen? 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.679 The future of the Republican Party is as a party 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.640 that defends the social economic and cultural interests and values 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:22.040 of working American families of every race, color, and creed. 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.600 That's why the party is growing so rapidly, and it's 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.600 becoming a different party, and it's becoming a party of love. 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.640 You have to see outside the streets. I mean, there's 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:38.360 such love the Flags Party of Love. That was Trump 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:42.480 being Trump. But I do think that that ultimately we 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.520 should start to embrace the idea that the Republican Party 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.600 is about making this country better for all people, and 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.560 that our ideas are in fact rooted in care and 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:57.040 consideration for our fellow human beings. Right. I want safer 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:05.080 streets for everybody, want better and cheaper healthcare options for everybody. 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.880 I want things in this country to be working well 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.680 for all the American people. I don't have an US 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.680 versus them mentality. I have a what's best for all 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.640 of us mentality. I think the Republicans shouldn't shy away 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:21.760 from verbalizing that because the other side says Republicans are racist, 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:26.600 they're classist, they're evil, they're misogynists, you know, the xenophobic. 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.600 They have all these things they always say, and that's 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.840 actually the opposite of what the Republican Party is all 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:34.280 about that's the opposite of what it means to be 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:39.080 a conservative. I also agree with the Great Ronald Reagan 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.720 when he says, when he would say this was not 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.280 a one off, that you shouldn't walk away from the 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:49.520 term republican and only embraced conservative. Conservatism is the belief, 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:55.720 that's the ideology. But the home, the vessel for conservatism 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.240 in American today is the Republican Party. And if you're wondering, 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.480 what do we say for, what's the point of it all? 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.840 And I get that frustration. I know, we see what's 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.960 going on with Biden, and you know, Hiden Biden, he's 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:10.600 out of the basement now in the White House, but 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.240 he might as well as be in the basement. No leadership, 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.880 no vision, just a bunch of leftists around him that 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.240 are that are actually pushing the levers and making the 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.960 making the calls that the progressives want him to. And 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.320 we look at all this and you say, what what 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.160 are we here for? Why Why do we we exist? 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:33.440 Because this country deserves a better future than what the 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.280 Democrats can give it. The Conservatives exist because we look 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.360 at history and we look at what has happened, and 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.200 we make decisions based upon what we think is the 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.440 best and most rational evidence of what will be best 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.000 for all of us, and a simple way to put this. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.040 But we don't have to get overly eloquent about any 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.680 of this. We're gonna say, somebody's got to stand in 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.080 the way of the crazy. Maybe that's the best way 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.320 to say, somebody's got to tell the other side sorry, 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.240 you're not going to just get to run us off 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:03.360 the cliff, hitting the accelerator full speed without at least 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.720 some folks telling you, what are you doing? Stop? This 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.000 is a bad idea, This will be destructive. Don't do 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:17.159 this right, whether it's the absurd, ideologically driven anti science 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:22.040 attacks on fossil fuel, the continuation of the lockdown mania 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:29.760 that we've seen, you, complete repudiation from the Democrats of 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.560 so many lessons that we've already learned about what works 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.360 and what doesn't work when it comes to public policy. 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.840 How we can actually make people safer on the streets. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.520 Here's the answer, Not by blaming cops. That's step one 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.920 is stop blaming the cops. They're not the ones committing 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.120 the crimes. They're not the reason that people are getting 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.960 shot in urban areas of the country at higher rates 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:54.640 now they have in a long time, and we had 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.280 a huge spike in crime over the last year during 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.080 the pandemic year. Of course, there's so much going on 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.840 right now, and it's it's incumbent upon us. It's Conservative's 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:08.159 role right now to say, what are you doing, crazy left, 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.200 what are you doing? Stop it? And here's why, here's 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.880 a better way. They may not listen to us, and 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.120 they probably almost certainly won't, but we still have to 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.880 say it. We need it to be clear to people 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:25.320 there's an alternative because we are going to get control back. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.160 We are going to be at a better future. It 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.040 will happen. I know. Right now we're at a little 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.000 bit of a low point. Right the Republican Party feels 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:35.920 like what the heck is going on now. You can 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:37.720 listen to some people in the GOP who will tell 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.600 you not a single state House got flipped in the 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.679 last election. We gained seats in the House, but Nancy 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.159 Pelosi still speaker and they still have a majority. We 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.600 are fifty fifty in the Senate. You know, they can 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.400 put a happy face on it, but come on, folks, 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.200 we needed to maintain control of the Senate. It was 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.160 crazy that we lost both those Georgia Senate seats. I mean, 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:02.120 there were some blunders and we had an incumbent president 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.960 who lost, and we can talk about why and what 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.800 the other side did and everything else. But at the 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.960 end of the day, Joe Biden's president, Donald Trump is 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.880 not This is disappointing, but it's not the end. It's 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:20.240 not a moment of panic that we should have. Okay, 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.080 this is, in fact, just the period in which we're 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:27.240 going to see people coming together. They're talking about GOP 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.800 civil war. I think you're going to see GOOP consolidation. Yeah. 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.480 Donald Trump said maybe he will run again. He teased 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.479 the idea of running again. He said he might win 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.920 for a third time. But here's what's very clear. Trump 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.880 is engaged, the people around him are engaged, and the 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:50.360 movement will continue. It's not over. It's not going away. 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.400 This is what I was saying the day after the 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.880 election in November. The ideas continue, the lessons learned from 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:05.040 the last four years continue. Here's what the former president says. 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:10.840 Trumpism actually means play eighteen. It means low taxes and 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:16.960 eliminating job killing regulations. Trumpism it means strong borders, but 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.520 people coming into our country based on a system of merit, 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.000 so they come in and they can help us, as 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.760 opposed to coming here and not being good for us, 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.320 including criminals, of which there are many. It means no 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:34.720 riots in the streets. It means law enforcement. Those are 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:39.360 all good things, aren't they. Law enforcement, No riots, and notice, 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.680 no riots. We don't approve of some riots and not others. 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:47.320 No riots, No use of force for political means. Taking 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.800 into the hands of mobs never acceptable. We have principles. 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.440 Unlike the left, they just have whatever achieves power in 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.000 a short term sense. That's what their focus is. Always on. 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:03.320 Strong borders, no riots in the streets, low taxes. These 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:07.720 are all very viable paths for this country. And I 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:12.640 have to remind everybody that we were in a fluke year, 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.200 and we were in a once in a century pandemic. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:22.480 That's just a fact. And the incumbent president lost. Now, yes, 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.920 I believe very strongly that if Donald Trump had run 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.080 for reelection and say the fall of twenty nineteen, based 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.240 on the decisions the actual governance, he would have won. 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.600 But that wasn't the that wasn't the hand we were dealt. 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.080 That's not what we That's not what we had to 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.040 go back into the election cycle with, and so we 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.280 did the best we could with what we had. It 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.360 was a very difficult year in the media lied so 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.520 much about what was going on, and continue too, And 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.280 I'm going to tackle that in a moment, but I'm 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.800 here to just tell you stay in the fight and 0:08:55.920 --> 0:09:00.280 stay focused, being with all those conservatives that see back, 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:05.920 listening to them, talking to them, hearing those speakers for days, 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.719 and then of course Trump's speech at the very end, 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:13.240 it was a reminder of what the conservative movement means 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.960 in America, what we're trying to accomplish now, what the 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:21.720 stakes are, of course, and that there are millions and 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.720 millions of us across the country who don't think that, 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.160 you know, canceling Keystone Excel is a good idea. Don't 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.600 want open borders, don't blame the cops for the crime 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:34.200 that criminals commit. Don't think that big government and the 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.680 state control of every aspect of your life and every 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.240 aspect of the economy will be good for any of us. 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.560 We're here, folks, and we're just getting We're just getting 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:47.839 going now. The machinery on our side is mobilizing, and 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.080 the Biden squad. Those folks are all going to have 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.760 to find themselves playing a whole lot of defense and 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.800 it's going to be much more challenging than I think 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.120 they realized when they were popping the champagne corks back 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:03.480 in November. Trump reminded us of all of that and more. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.679 Whether he's the nominee or it's someone else in four years, 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:12.559 it doesn't matter. This is about conservatism. This is about 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:18.480 a Trumpian approach or you know, trump tactics in the 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:22.240 pursuit of conservative policies at how to wage a successful 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.560 opposition for the hearts and minds of the American people 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.440 at this point in time. And we have the tools, 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.520 we have great messengers, we have fantastic results in the 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:34.600 state of Florida to show, and so now now begins 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:38.520 that work. Two years the mid terms, It's gonna go 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.760 by in a flash. We do the work of speaking 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.280 the truth about America here every day. We all do it. 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:49.240 That's our mission, that's our plans. You're in the freedom hunt. 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.280 Thanks for listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast to 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.959 get the latest from Buck at buck sexton dot com 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:01.520 and in one of his first official x which was 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.440 incredible because again he talked about energy. He never said 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.679 he was going to do this. He canceled the Keystone 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:15.000 XEL pipeline, destroying not the eight thousand or the nine thousand, 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.320 or the eleven thousand jobs that you hear, but forty 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:23.280 two thousand great paying jobs on just about day one. Right. 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:26.040 He never talked about that during a debate because he 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:27.960 wouldn't have gotten away with it. Well he would have, 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.240 because they cheated so much, it probably wouldn't have been 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:35.160 That's just one example of what I've been telling you 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.959 since Biden came into office. Now that they told us 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.880 that it was good old blue collar Joe, the moderate, 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:47.400 the centrist, you know, no big deal, And what we've gotten, 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.000 of course, is somebody who doesn't really differ all that 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.520 much from what any other Democrat that ran. I mean, remember, 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.720 they had like a cast of thousands running in that 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.400 Democrat primary. They had to have they had have two 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.520 different stages to debate nights for one phase of the 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.240 debate because they had so many people running. And what 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:09.680 you're getting with Biden is essentially just another doctrinaire left 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:13.040 wing Democrat. This is not a surprise. There's nothing about 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:17.280 this that anybody should should have said, wait a second, yeah, 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:21.000 of course they lied. Of course they presented Joe Biden 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.040 as as the cuddly old Grandpa for America. And that's 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:28.480 not really who he is. Because it doesn't matter who 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.560 Joe Biden is. He's just a placeholder. He's just the 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.280 trojan horse that unfortunately the horse got into the gates 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.480 and now Troy is burning. But now we'll be okay, 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:42.600 Well we're gonna rebuild it. It's gonna be fine. Trump 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:46.160 was really amoring Biden, which is pretty easy to do because, 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.319 as I've said to you, if there were trade offs 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.600 in these Biden policies where there was a very clear, 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.040 very clear benefit for the American people, not for a 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:03.440 special interest group, not for some ideologically motivated segment of 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.440 the population that writes big checks to Democrats, if there 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:10.200 was something that was good, you know, but then you 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.480 can see the drawback of it, I would say, so 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.800 so much of what Biden has done, he's just bad 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.760 across the board. And Trump at seapack pointed that out 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:23.320 play seventeen, his campaign was all lies talked about energy. 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.319 I thought, I said, you know this guy, actually he's 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.440 okay with energy. He wasn't okay with energy, wants to 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.880 put you all out of business. He's not okay with energy. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:35.440 It wants windmills, the wind mills, the windmills that don't 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:39.040 work when you need him. Joe Biden has had the 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:43.160 most disastrous first month of any president in modern history. 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:48.959 That's true. Already, the Biden administration has proven that they 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:56.600 are anti jobs, anti family, anti borders, anti energy, anti women, 0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:02.120 and anti science. In just one short month, we have 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:09.240 gone from America first to America last, From America first 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:13.319 to America last. What has the Biden administration done so far? 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:17.240 Where you'd say, you know what, taking the politics out 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.720 of it, I really see the merit and wisdom in that. 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.080 In fact, you know, the only thing that some people 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.160 might point to you would have been Democrats in Congress 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.840 pushing for the minimum wage, even though, as we all know, 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:33.160 the minimum wage does not work the way that Democrats 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.960 think it does, or does not function in practice the 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.720 way they believe it will in theory. It does cause 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.560 a lot of people to lose their jobs. It does 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.280 cause a lot of people get their hours cut back. 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.520 Some people, see I'm honest about this, Some people do 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.760 benefit from a higher mandatory minimum wage, but other people 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.520 lose jobs, other people lose access to work, is fascinating. 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.080 Some Democrats were even pointing out that this would be 0:14:55.120 --> 0:15:00.800 a hurdle for low wage illegal immigrants. Oh my gosh, 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.560 what do we do if the minimum wage is higher? 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.760 They'll be less desire or less ability, I should say, 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:10.560 for employers to illegally hire illegal immigrants. That's where Democrats 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.920 heads are not as they always have this concern, this 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:20.720 concern for illegal immigrants ahead of Americans who are unemployed, 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.080 ahead of what it does to the wage scale. It's 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.560 very straightforward, supply and demand, more workers who can do 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.240 a job, less money you're going to get for those workers. 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:35.960 It's this is this is a law of basic economics. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.160 This is this is basic economics in practice. But Democrats 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.880 think that they can get around that, that it doesn't 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:46.600 really count somehow, there's some other way. But no, Biden, 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.640 everything he's done in the first month and office, you 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.520 look at and you say, who's making these decisions? What's 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:56.200 the point of, oh, rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement. These 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.160 are the things that Democrats come into power in the 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:02.000 middle of a pandemic. We've got all these idiotic lockdown policies, 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:05.920 all these mask mania absurdities abounding all over the place. 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:08.240 People get mad at me when I say that, Yeah, 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.360 you're right, I'm sorry. It makes a lot of sense 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.960 that every restaurant I went to in Florida, I had 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.720 to mask up as I walked in and then sit 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.960 down and take my mask off. There's a lot of science. 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.560 People seem to believe there's science behind that, that there's 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:28.520 some kind of safety reason for it. If you believe 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:32.000 that that is for your safety, there's no reason why 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:36.280 the government can't make you do a hundred jumping jacks 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.320 every day whenever you go outside because it's good for 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.320 your heart health. The government can make you do anything, 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.680 no matter how dumb, no matter how ridiculous, that probably 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.400 actually would be good for your heart health overall. But 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:52.160 I hate jumping jack's. This is absurd. It's absurd. But 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:56.040 the Biden presidency that we've seen so far is as 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.760 I thought it would be. And now a Trump started 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.520 as speech by saying, and did you miss me? That's 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.320 that's how we started the speech, did you miss me? 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.959 And I think America is going to figure out pretty soon, 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:15.320 especially here's here's my prediction. They're gonna slow the reopening, 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:16.959 but as it starts to reopen, then they're really going 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:18.720 to realize the full extent of the damage of the 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.760 lockdowns and how much spending has gone on, and we're 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:25.239 gonna hit really rough economic times in the next six 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.840 to twelve months, and then Democrats are going to do 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:29.920 the opposite of what they did. They're gonna be desperately 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:34.840 blaming Trump for the economy when Biden's actually making the decisions, 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.800 just like they were desperately trying to give Obama credit 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.000 for Trump's economy. They're gonna do everything they can to 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.600 make the Biden economy the Trump economy. That's my prediction. 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:49.480 Let's see. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:53.679 Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. And I want you 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:57.440 to know that I'm going to continue to fight right 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:01.520 by your side. Louie will do what we've done right 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:06.480 from the beginning, which is to win. We're not starting 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:10.520 new parties. You know, they kept saying he's going to 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.080 start a brand new party. We have the Republican Party. 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:17.520 It's going to unite and be stronger than ever before. 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:22.040 I am not starting a new party. That was fake news, 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.679 fake news. Now wouldn't that be brilliant. Let's start a 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:29.800 new party and let's divide our vote so that you 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.560 can never win. No, we're not interested in that. No 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:38.359 new party. United in the Republican Party, and we're going 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.560 to figure it out right now. It's about the movement, 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:46.840 the ideas and mobilizing. That's where we are as Republicans, 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.440 as conservatives, and Trump is going to be right there 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.160 along with us. It may not be Trump who winds 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.200 up being the standard bearon four years. I know that 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.280 the seed pack straw Pole had him as the overwhelming 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:04.080 favorite to run again, But then there's also dissantists and 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:08.200 a gnome being talked about as contenders. And I think 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:12.200 that the president will see where we are how things go. 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.760 Four years at his age is a long time. That's 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.560 just the truth. I mean, I know you'd say, what 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:21.439 about Joe Biden. Yeah, Joe Biden's too old for the job, folks. 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.320 He's actually too old to be doing this. Nancy Pelosi 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.679 too old for the job. I'm not gonna do what 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:32.280 Democrats do and have two sets of standards here. You know, 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:37.680 Trump is right on the edge, right on the edge 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:42.400 of just physically, folks. I understand he's got tremendous energy, 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:44.840 but what time about four years from now, Guys gonna 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:48.960 be what seventy seven going on seventy eight. It's asking 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.000 a lot. By the way, I hope President Trump, you know, 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.239 lasts another thirty years and you know it is in 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.600 great health and can run for president again in four years. 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.680 And that may very well be the case. But I'm saying, 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:02.080 we don't know. Nobody's got a crystal ball, and four 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:06.880 years is a lifetime in politics, the most the most 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.800 cliched phrase you'll everywhere. Oh, it's a lifetime in politics, 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:12.320 right that It all comes down to turn out on 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:16.199 election day? Yeah, no kidding. Whoever scores more points on 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:22.200 the board is gonna win the game. Yes, also true, 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.399 we need to know what we're trying to accomplish now, 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:26.439 what we're trying to do as a party, that's what matters, 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.320 And we need to be making the argument building platforms. 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:32.920 There is a rebuilding that needs to go on here. 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:36.040 We need to make sure that we can't get silenced again. 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:40.040 Remember they pulled off the silencing in the election. They 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.960 covered for Hunter Biden. They shut down the New York 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.840 Post story an entirely true story about Hunter Biden's laptop. 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:49.200 They were able to do that and they suffered no consequences. 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.359 We need them to actually, we need the social media 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:57.639 companies to at least think twice, and then eventually we 0:20:57.680 --> 0:20:59.440 need to break them up, and we need to treat 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:01.560 them as them monopolies they are. I mean you to 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.600 break them into tiny little pieces. People say, oh no, 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:07.879 but it won't be as good for consumers. Really, you 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:09.560 don't think. You don't think anybody else can come up 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:12.760 with like an email or search engine or you know 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:14.760 a little chat boxes and things like. You don't think 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:17.480 anyone else's trust me. It'll be fine, all right, it'll 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:21.720 be fine. You know the reason that our flat screen 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:24.520 TVs Right now, I'm maybe gonna get a new flat 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.399 screen because mine has gone crazy. It's like possessed by 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.919 a demon. The reason that you can get a you know, 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:34.119 fifty five inch flat screen TV for three hundred dollars, 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:37.560 now that I mean fifteen years ago or ten years ago. 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:39.560 Would it cost you four grand or ten grand or 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:43.680 something crazy? The reason is because of competition among many 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:47.639 different companies. So it works everywhere else, But somehow the 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.840 social media companies have convinced you the best way is 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:53.399 for them to only be one player. That's the best 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:57.600 for consumers. Amazon too, that's what's best for you. It's 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:02.440 clearly not. I wanted to focus for a little bit 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:07.360 on on the Florida aspect of this because being at Seapack, 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:10.560 and I would say, first off, I want to thank 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:15.199 everybody who was there, who was who's at Seapack, and 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:18.240 who was willing to come up and talk to me 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:20.879 and say hi. It means a lot. It was great 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:26.560 to see this. It was great to see people who 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.199 share my beliefs values who in many cases listen to 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:30.880 this show. So there was a lot of a lot 0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:33.040 of Team Buck in the house and that was fantastic. 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:40.280 But being in Florida was also you could feel that 0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:43.639 there is a sense that this is now a movement 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:48.320 unto itself, that there are more and more Republicans who 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:51.639 will be moving to Florida, that there are more and 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:56.240 more Republicans who are deciding that that's going to be. 0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:59.520 And I hate to say it, because I had some 0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:02.240 some folks from from Austin, Texas who are listening to 0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:05.240 the show listening on KLBJ in Austin. They came up 0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:08.680 to me to talk to me. Texas Governor Abbott has 0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:13.040 really missed an opportunity here. It feels like the leadership 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:16.560 of the Republican Party is firmly now in the same 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:19.320 way that California. New York is a close second, but 0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:23.880 California feels like the homeland of the Democrat Party. That's 0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:26.480 what that's what Florida is becoming for the Republican Party. 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:29.840 And now we're as it's not as red as California 0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:32.679 is blue, but I think that's I think that's changing 0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:35.359 a bit. I'll also tell you that I did experience 0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:38.120 at a few of the bars, because you know, they're 0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:41.720 seapac parties and things, a very different attitude there. I mean, 0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:44.480 you walk in, and I'm being honest with you, you 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:48.840 walk into these places and they will tell you to 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:51.680
