1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts, the news you need to 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: get through your day in forty five minutes. Make sure 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart app or wherever you get 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: your podcasts. This was the top agenda item all along. 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: We should have seen it coming. I think many of 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: us did. If you remember, during the Obama years, the 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: first thing they went to was healthcare, and then after 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: healthcare they went for immigration, and then after immigration they 9 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 1: tried to go for the environment, what you could call 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: the Green New Deal. But now they've realized this time around, 11 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: with Biden in charge, the Democrats are going to be 12 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: pushing more on immigration than anything else, and specifically on amnesty. 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: That's right, amnesty. This is what they realize wins the 14 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: future for them. All they have to do is win 15 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: on this issue and everything else falls into place. We 16 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: see this, we've seen it coming, I think for years. 17 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: And here's what the Biden administration is saying about. The 18 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: US Citizenship Act of twenty twenty one includes an eight 19 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: year path two citizenship for illegal immigrants, which the White 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: House estimates to be eleven million. Eight year path this citizenship. Now, 21 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: let's let's understand this. The whole notion of a pathway 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: to citizenship is false. Once they create a legal framework, 23 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: once they create this basis for making people who are 24 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: in the country illegally permanent, not just residence citizens. This 25 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: isn't just saying you get to say. This is saying 26 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: you get to vote. You understand, right, this is what's 27 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: going to happen. And by the way, if they try 28 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: to change this, if they try to alter the language, 29 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: they say, well, no, it's not voting rights right away, 30 00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: it's actually just gonna be permanent status. If that's the case, 31 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: they'll change it. They'll change it because once someone's here permanently, 32 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: they'll have the ability to vote. Once someone's here and 33 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: they're legal, it's just a matter of time before the 34 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: Democrats are in the majority again, or just change their 35 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: mind while they're in the majority and say, you know 36 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We're gonna grant voting rights now 37 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: eleven million people. Think about how many votes the last 38 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: election was determined by. Think about what it will mean 39 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: for the Republican Party going forward if not only do 40 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: you have those immediate votes added into the mix, but 41 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: there is going to be an enormous bush obviously for 42 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: particularly the many millions of Latinos who would be covered 43 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: under this or have someone they know covered under this, 44 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: to vote Democrat forever. I mean, this is a way 45 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: to try to achieve a permanent majority. And you'll notice 46 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: that in the past when this was tried, Democrats wanted 47 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: to do this. Under the Obama administration, some Republicans we're 48 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: gonna go along with it. In the past when this 49 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 1: was tried, the people lit up the switchboards of Congress. 50 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: It was the American people who said, hold on a second, 51 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: what exactly is going on here? And you're going to 52 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: be let me assure you you're going to be lied 53 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: to about this issue as much as anything in the 54 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: political realm in recent years. I mean, you're gonna be 55 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: told things by the news media about this. Oh, it's 56 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: gonna be very strictly enforced to think about it. Why 57 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: why an eight year path to citizenship? Why why should 58 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: it take eight years? What exactly about that makes use? Oh? Well, 59 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: because then they say they'll process people and there will 60 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: be these benchmarks you have to hit, There'll be these 61 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: things you have to achieve, things you have to do 62 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: in order to qualify. Here's why that's nonsense. If you 63 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: don't qualified, as anyone believe you're actually going to have 64 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: to leave the country if for some reason you don't 65 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: do some of the things, and who knows what it 66 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: will be. Right, This hasn't become a law yet, but 67 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: payback taxes have English proficiency, as you, no doubt, no 68 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: a lot for a lot of cases. The people that 69 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: are illegal immigrants would not in fact even qualify for 70 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: paying federal income taxes. They would get a refund from 71 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: the government for their based on their earnings in the past. 72 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: So they're just gonna get a check. They're just gonna 73 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: get a check. And now we see the Democrats understanding 74 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: how to utilize and wield power. This is one part 75 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: of the game that I wish the Republicans knew better. 76 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: I know people don't want to hear this. What did 77 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: we get? We had Trump and we had a Republican 78 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: majority in the House and the Senate for two years 79 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, starting in twenty seventeen, what did we get? Anybody? 80 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: Tax cuts? We got tax cuts. Now, tax cuts are fine. 81 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 1: You know, I think we are over tax but remember 82 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: they're all so temporary. Taxes are about to go up, friends, 83 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: Taxes are about to go up a whole lot. And 84 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: what we see now is that the Democrats understand to 85 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: strike while the iron is hot. They're trying to take 86 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: action while they can, to do as much as they can. 87 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: That's their plan, that's the way they approach this. And 88 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: we're left to say, let's hope we can convince some 89 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: of their own, some Democrats not to go along with this. 90 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: Let's hope we can convince enough of the American people 91 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: that this would lead to well, lawlessness in this country. 92 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: I mean, sovereignty is already being eroded by Democrats all 93 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 1: the time. Because what's to make anyone think that this 94 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: amnesty would be the final amnesty. If you're wondering how 95 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: this has worked down the past, you can go back 96 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: and read about Reagan's amnesty back in nineteen eighty six. 97 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: It was only going to be a few million people, 98 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: and it turned out to be a whole lot more 99 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: than that, And it went on for years and years 100 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: and years. The enforcement mechanisms that were supposed to be 101 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: in place the deal then, and this was under Reagan, 102 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: and Reagan admitted that he got swindled. He admitted that 103 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: this was not this did not end up being a 104 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: good deal for the American people. But what it was 105 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: was that you had people that were going to be legalized, 106 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: but that would be it, and you would shut it 107 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: down and no more illegal crossings at the border. Okay, 108 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: that was it. That was what we were supposed to 109 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 1: get in exchange in response, And do you think that happened? 110 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: Do you think there was no illegal crossing after that? 111 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: Do you think that that would no? Of course not no. 112 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: In fact, it was a massive incentive and there were 113 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: even more illegal crossings in the nineties than ever before. 114 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: You want to know how did California flip from being 115 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: a Republican leaning state to being a deep blue stronghold. 116 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: Illegal immigration through the nineties played a huge role in that. Oh, 117 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: but illegal immigrants can't vote, their families can, their children can? 118 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: And which party is more favorable to illegal immigrants? Which 119 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: party says, sure, come on, come on in. Doesn't matter 120 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: that you've broken the law, doesn't matter that there are 121 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,119 Speaker 1: these challenges, and it's gonna be part of a whole 122 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: broader legalization effort that includes things like temporary protected status, 123 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: deferred action for childhood arrivals, immediately eligible for Green cards, 124 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: farm workers. There's gonna be all this stuff. That's this 125 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: is exactly what they tried under the Obama administration. They're 126 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: just gonna dress it up a different way. They're gonna 127 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: call it something else. They're gonna have some other way 128 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: of of presenting this to the American people. But this 129 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: is where everyone has to see. Joe Biden was sold 130 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: to us as though he was in some way less 131 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: radical than Obama. That's obviously not true. Joe Biden is 132 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: completely in line with Obama. In fact, because the Democrat 133 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: Party has gone further left, Joe Biden is governing to 134 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: the left of Obama right now. That's what's actually happening. 135 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: It's what we are seeing from day one to now, 136 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: unbroken trend here. Oh it was good old blue collar Joe. 137 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: He's been in the game a long time. You know, 138 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: you could trust him. He's he's whatever the Democrat Party 139 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: needs him to be. He was whatever the Obama administration 140 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: needed him to be. And now the Biden amnesty now 141 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: they have the votes if they get rid of the filibuster, 142 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: they can do this now. I know, right now people say, 143 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: oh they won't. Democrats won't go for that, you know, 144 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion. There a few Democrats who won't do it. 145 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: The truth is, if they decide this is important enough, 146 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: they'll do whatever they have to do to achieve power. 147 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: They'll push in whatever ways they need to. There's not 148 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: even a pretense, by the way, in this bill of 149 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: boarder security. Boarder security used to be the thing that 150 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: Democrats pretended they cared about so they could get more 151 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: illegal immigration, so they could get more amnesty. In this case, 152 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: they're not even they're not even going through the motions. 153 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: This is just legalizing a whole lot of people that 154 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: broke the law and in this country illegally to this day. 155 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: That's what it is, and trying to up those numbers 156 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: as much as possible. This changes the American political landscape, 157 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: and that is what the Democrats are hoping to achieve 158 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: with it. That's what Biden's trying to do. This is 159 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram 160 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: and Twitter. It's a sad thing to say, me coup, 161 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: that's classic, Andrew Cuomo. A lot of people in New 162 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: York State have received those phone calls. You know, the 163 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: bullying is nothing new, I believe ron Kim and it's 164 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: very very sad. No public servant no person who's tell 165 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: him the truth should be treated that way. But yeah, 166 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: the threats, the belittling, the demand that someone changed their 167 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: statement right that moment, many many times I've heard that, 168 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: and I know a lot of other people in the 169 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: state have heard that. So you believe assembly Man Kim 170 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 1: that he was threatened. It's first of all, I know him, 171 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: he's a good public servant. I've always seen him as 172 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: a person integrity. But it's just the script is exactly 173 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: what a lot of us have heard before. It's not 174 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: a surprise. It's sad. It's not the way people should 175 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: be treated. And you know a lot of people get 176 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: intimidated by that. I give him credit for not being intimidated. 177 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: Wait second, you mean the love gov. You mean that 178 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: the hero of the pandemic, the greatest leader, a guy 179 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: who should be a stand in at the last minute 180 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: for the Democrat nominee for the twenty twenty election. You 181 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: mean I get an Emmy and I write a book 182 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: about leadership. Andrew Cuomo is actually a terrible human being 183 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: who's bad at his job and just runs around like 184 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: a psychotic bully. Oh okay, you know we're not actually 185 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: just finding this out now? It's just now they can't 186 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: hide it anymore. It's broken wide open on the nursing 187 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: home issue, so they can't run the same kind of 188 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: cover for him. But they did cover for him for 189 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: as long as they possibly could. They did everything in 190 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: their power, everything in their capability, so to make sure 191 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: that none of this stuff would be known by the 192 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: general public before the twenty twenty election. Cuomo has a horrid, 193 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: a putred reputation for anyone who has actually dealt with 194 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: him in politics, and yet the media was all, oh, 195 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: my gosh, listen to the way that he tells these tales, 196 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: he weaves these stories. Listen to the way that he's 197 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: bringing us all together with his conferences. Absurd, simply absurd. 198 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: And now we find out that he even goes after 199 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: fellow Democrats. Notice even to Blasio, who is a man 200 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: of the left. But you know, he's a bureaucrat and 201 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: he's a tyrant in his own way, but he's a passive, 202 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: aggressive tyrant. You know, he's, well, I want you to 203 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: do this thing, and I'm gonna have my people send 204 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: you a letter. Cuomo gets up in your face. Cuomo 205 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: tells you your career is over. Here's the The New 206 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: York Times, reporting on it for months. Assemblyman Ron Kim 207 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: has been one of the few Democratic lawmakers willing to 208 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: criticize Governor Andrew Qua for his state's handling of the 209 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: nursing home during the pandemic, pressing for investigations into the matter. 210 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: So when a top aide to mister Cuomo recently admitted 211 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: that his administration had withheld nursing home data from state lawmakers, 212 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: mister Kim, whose Queen's district was hit hard by the coronavirus, 213 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: said it appeared the governor was trying to dodge having 214 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: any incriminating evidence. Hours after mister Kim made comment in 215 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: The New York Post last Thursday, he got an irate 216 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: late night call from the governor. Mister Quomo began with 217 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: a question, are you an honorable man, and then proceeded 218 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: to yell for ten minutes. Mister Kim recalled, threatening to 219 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: publicly tarnish the assemblyman and urging him to issue a 220 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: new statement clarifying his remarks. Sir Cuomo made good on 221 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: his threat on Wednesday afternoon. In a remarkable retort, The 222 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: Governor used his press briefing to lob allegations of impropriety 223 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: at the Assemblyman, saying that he had his administration have 224 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: had a long and hostile relationship with mister Kim, now 225 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: in his fifth term. In particular, mister Cuomo was angered 226 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: and combative about a letter published by The New York 227 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: Post that was signed by several Assembly members, including mister Kim. 228 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: The letter, citing the governor's delays and releasing a complete 229 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: tally of deaths of nursing home residents, including those that 230 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: happened after a resident was transferred to a hospital, accused 231 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: mister Cuomo of attempting to circumvent a federal probe and 232 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: intentional obstruction of justice. Oh wait, a second Cuomo could 233 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: be under investigation here, friends, The FBI US Attorney's office 234 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: in Brooklyn are, according to a number of news outlets, 235 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: investigating Cuomo's handling of the nursing home deaths. So the 236 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: heat is getting turned on here. But I just there's 237 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: so much going on. This is the guy who, more 238 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: than anyone, with the exception of Fauci, was held up 239 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: by the Democrats at the peak of the first wave 240 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: of the pandemic, held up by the Democrats as the 241 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: model for how to handle this. They even said things 242 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: like he's the model, this is the way you deal 243 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: with it. And now we see he is a psychotic tyrant. 244 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: Now we see that Governor Cuomo is somebody who is 245 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: not only willing to hide information that would show people 246 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: just what happened here. People's relatives were dying. They were 247 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: dying by the thousands in these nursing homes. They weren't 248 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: even allowed to see them in their last days. They 249 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: weren't even allowed to show up and give them one 250 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: last hug or even wave to them. And Cuomo was 251 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: acting like he was high and mighty, and if only 252 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: we listened to him, lives would be safe. If we 253 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: did not do everything he told us, whatever calamity would 254 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: befall us was our fault, and people ate it up. 255 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: Democrats believed this. They thought that this was a great 256 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: example of leadership during a crisis. This buffoonish, vicious thug 257 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: and democrat governor of the fourth biggest state in America, 258 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: somebody who has still talked about or was until recently 259 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: as having presidential aspirations. How is it that we can 260 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: have journalists in this country? How can we have a 261 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: profession known as journalism when they don't feel ashamed that 262 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: this truth about how Chomo handled the pandemic, how he 263 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: hid what he did, and how he tried to suppress 264 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: anyone else from speaking out about it, including people well 265 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: in his own party who were disgusted. I'm sure Assemblyman 266 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: Kim is appalled by this, appalled on a deep human level. 267 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: This is his neighborhood, Queens was one of the worst 268 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: hit parts of the entire country by the COVID pandemic, 269 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: and Cuomo wouldn't hear anyone else, no other ideas, allowed, 270 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: no other thoughts to be included. His way or shut up, 271 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: and he really means it. He means it. You you 272 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: have to do it the way the Quomo tells you to, 273 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: or you deal with the consequences. That's why this Guardian 274 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: piece here. A lot of news news sites picked this up. 275 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: This is just the beginning. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn the 276 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: FBI have started investigating how Andrew Cuomo's Coronavirus Task Force 277 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: handled data on debts in care homes and similar facilities, 278 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: according to multiple reports, as pro sure mounted on the 279 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: New York Governor, the preliminary federal investigation is looking into 280 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: whether state officials manipulated figures on care home debts, which 281 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: were recently revealed to be nearly double what the authorities 282 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: first disclosed. This isn't just about accountability. This is about liability. 283 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: This is about holding people responsible for decisions that might 284 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: have led to death. In the case of Andrew Cuomo 285 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: and his nursing home order, we're just beginning to dig 286 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: into this. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening 287 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: to the buck Sexton Show podcast to get the latest 288 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: from Buck at buck sexton dot com.

And that was the line that 299 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: he could you know, a line that he crossed that 300 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: can't be undone.

The hero of 302 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: the Democrats during the pandemic, second only to Fauci, and 303 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: we see he's actually a disgrace, bad at the job, 304 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: awful decision making, dishonest, and a thug on top of 305 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: it all. The Governor of New York, highest executive official 306 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: in New York State. This is the person who gets 307 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: to determine when restaurants get to open. This is the 308 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: person who gets to determine what the level of business 309 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: closures will be for how long, at what percentage, how 310 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: long you have to mask, where your mask, how you mask. 311 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: Everyone needs to understand that is what has happened in 312 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: this country. We have handed over willingly because people are scared. 313 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: And when everyone got so scared because the media was 314 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: just pushing the panic porn everywhere because it was necessary 315 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: in their minds to defeat Donald Trump. When they were 316 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: pushing all of this, when they were doing all of 317 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: this never occurred to them or they didn't care that 318 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: they were handing over all of this authority to morons 319 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: people like Andrew Cuomo.

They've now 325 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: been proven to be frauds. They've been proven to be 326 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: awful people.

He was the golden boy, the person that 333 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: knew how to protect his people because he listened to 334 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: the science. That's how he uses him. You know, here 335 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: in California, we listened to the science. Gavinism is as 336 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: sure you do how that science work out for you? 337 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: In November, December, January. Oh, you know what the real 338 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: problem was, they weren't double masking. I only if only 339 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: someone had figured out that two masks were better than 340 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: one six months ago, we would have all been fine. 341 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,479 Speaker 1: That's what they want you to believe. Now, what they 342 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: definitely do not want is for you to question what 343 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: the heck has happened to this country and what we've 344 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: been put through. People like Newsome and Cuomo and Whitmer 345 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: have been making these decisions, these arbitrary, totalitarian decisions about 346 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: our lives for going on a year now, and we 347 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: just went along with it. Because those who were in 348 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: a position to raise the alarm, to say, hold on 349 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: a second, this isn't the way, we don't have to 350 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: do this, they were either silenced or cowards, and so 351 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: the country was dragged through this. All Newsom and Quomo 352 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: did was make things worse. The policies that they instituted 353 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: for which there was opposition, for which we could have 354 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: had a robust debate, they didn't allow the debate. It 355 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: was nope, I make the call. I'm in charge. That 356 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: was the approach from Cuomo, from Newsom, from Whitmer, from 357 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: Governor Murphy in New Jersey, many many of them Hogan 358 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: and Maryland's go down the list, listen to what we 359 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: tell you to do, or else we'll shut down your business, 360 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: or else we'll arrest you. We'll find you, will shame you, 361 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: you'll lose your job. Oh, you're a mask denier. You 362 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: can't even fly on a plan anymore, mask denier. Right, 363 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: That's how it's been. And now we see who these 364 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: people really are. Now they're being exposed. And in the 365 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: case of Governor Cuomo, this is not going to go away. 366 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: This is not one that you can just wave your 367 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: hand and pretend it didn't happen. He was engaged in 368 00:23:53,720 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: an active disinformation campaign with the complicity with the partnership 369 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: really of the corporate Democrat media and that the Democrat 370 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: Party overall. You go back, you hear all the oh, 371 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: all the speeches, all the celebrities, celebrities, you know, all 372 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: these actors and athletes are so stupid. It's really social 373 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: media just means now we're all that they inflict their 374 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: idiocy on us all the time, either if you don't 375 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: want to see it, but they were, Oh, quomos doing 376 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,479 Speaker 1: such a great job. This is more than just about 377 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: the political accountability, and I want you to really understand 378 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: that part. This is more than just a question of 379 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: whether or not there should be pain for someone like 380 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: Quomo the ballot box for making bad decisions when he 381 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 1: hides information from people, the people, including the government itself 382 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: as well as the voters. When he hides information that 383 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: has to do with life and death issues, that has 384 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: to do with public health. That's more than just I 385 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: don't want people to think badly of me. That's affecting decisions, 386 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: and the outcomes of those decisions are determining whether people 387 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: live or die. New York Assembly Member Ron Kim says, 388 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 1: and this is why Cuomo was so angry at him 389 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: that there was no discussion or debate when it came 390 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: to what Cuomo wanted to do with nursing homes or 391 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: anything else for that matter. He was the tyrant of 392 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: New York. There were there's a total of nine thousand 393 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: COVID positive patients that were transferred back to nursing homes 394 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: in about in the two month time period where he 395 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: had a mandate in the nursing homes couldn't reject them. 396 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: These were under prepared nursing homes. I know this because 397 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: I was on the ground working with them. They were 398 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: crying that they couldn't do this. Half of the staff 399 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: members already had COVID by them and they were out. 400 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: They weren't working. But a governor, you know, he just 401 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: doubled down and tripled down. Other states might have adopted 402 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: those policies, but they quickly repealed and moved in entire 403 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: direction to a point where they started banning COVID positives 404 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: nursing homes. But he continued to do that, and it 405 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: was a bad policy. And but that's not the point, Joe. 406 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: I think we can all understand. In the first wave, 407 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: you could have made some mistakes. I think the public, myself, 408 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: we would have sympathized and continued to work with him, 409 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: But he shut us out. He covered information, and he 410 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: doubled tripled down on bad policies. And that's why we're 411 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: here today because he refused to talk about the truth 412 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: and acknowledged the mistake so we can move to state forward. 413 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: He refused the truth in a way that affected decision 414 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: making at the highest level about the sacred obligation to 415 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: protect the lives of people in the state of New York, 416 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: to protect our fellow Americans who had the misfortune myself 417 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: included of living in a state where Andrew Cuomo is 418 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: the governor. That's what we're really talking about here. This 419 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: is beyond just your normal political scandal because by hiding 420 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: that data, by preventing people from knowing what was really 421 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: happening in the nursing homes. We did not have the 422 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: chance to say, hold on a second, what's going on here? 423 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: What are you doing? There can't be accountability for government 424 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: in general, never mind government that's taken a totalitarian position, 425 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: which is what Cuomo has done. He was given these 426 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: emergency powers for a year by the New York State Legislature, 427 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: and he was really enjoying himself with it. Telling you 428 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: what you could do, where you could go, who you 429 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 1: could see, so much power and more than any politician 430 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: has had in memory, right, and the concentration of power 431 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: over day to day lives that governors of these states 432 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: who have become power mad, what they've been able to do, 433 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: what they've gotten away with is an atrocity. Why can't 434 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: more people see this and just remember they hit it 435 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: from you. It was all to defeat Trump. Whatever they 436 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: had to do, however they had to lie, whatever stories 437 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: they had to tell, justified. In fact, they're proud of it. 438 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,239 Speaker 1: At the end of the day. If you sat down 439 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: with a journalist in a moment of honesty, if you 440 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: sat down with someone from the New York Times, the 441 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: Washington Post, he said, you know, how can you have 442 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: any faith in your profession whatsoever. How can you have 443 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,479 Speaker 1: any belief in what you're doing, even what's happened here. 444 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: They'd say, well, Trump didn't win, did he. Cuoma doesn't 445 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: matter to them, the nursing home deaths, that's not really 446 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: their job. Their job wasn't to shine a light on 447 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: a tragedy that was a man made one, not entirely. 448 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: I see, I'm not the Democrats. I don't think they 449 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: created COVID. I don't blame them for all of COVID 450 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: the way they did to Trump. But I can blame 451 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: people for saying, you know what we're gonna do. We're 452 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: gonna take people with COVID who are seniors whose immune 453 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: systems are already overtaxed in dealing with the virus and 454 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: are likely to carry high viral loads and send them 455 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: back into close quarters living conditions with other seniors who 456 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: are bought by far at the highest risk of death 457 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: from this disease. I can hold somebody accountable for that. 458 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: That is a decision that could have been made or not. 459 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,239 Speaker 1: But the resistance, you see, the anti Trump resistance, they 460 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: had their priorities, and the priority was anything it takes 461 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: to stop Trump. Cuomo saw that and he ran with it. 462 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: You know how, sometimes there'll be some celebrity who will 463 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: get caught, usually in some kind of a sexual impropriety. 464 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: This has happened a number of times. Some well known 465 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: Democrat will get caught, you know, sexually harassing or even 466 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: in a sexual assault or whatever, whatever the allegation may be, 467 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: and they'll release some statement. They'll say, I have a 468 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: a lot of reflection to do, a lot of thinking 469 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: to do, and I'm also going to turn around that 470 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to fight the NRA on gun violence. And 471 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: they've tried this before. I think Harvey Weinstein even did this. 472 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: There have been a number of people who have pulled 473 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: the I did a thing. Maybe I'm not sure. I'm 474 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: not going to admit it and really apologize. I'm sorry 475 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: if you feel upset about it, but I'm not saying 476 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: I did it. But I'm going to attack the NRA. 477 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: That's the game they play. Well now, as you know, 478 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: what's even better than that. What's the bigger get out 479 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,479 Speaker 1: of jail free card for a Democrat at least up 480 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: until now than anything else. I'm part of the resistance. 481 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: I'm here to take down Trump. Cuomo saw it, and 482 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: he ran with it. And only now after that usefulness 483 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: to the left has finally dissipated, are we are we 484 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: able to have a real conversation about just what happened here. 485 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: The person held up by the left as the biggest 486 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: hero of COVID is actually the biggest villain. You're listening 487 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe 488 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app or wherever 489 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. In a week, middle school comes back. 490 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: It's going to be safe because we've really set the 491 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: goal standard for this nation. We looked at the very 492 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: beginning of opening schools in September, we said, let's take 493 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: the best, the best approaches from around the world. So 494 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: our kids all wear a mask. For example, our kids 495 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: are tested, a big sample of each school tested every week. 496 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: You know, these are the things that I've worked. Our 497 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: schools are the safest places to be in New York City. 498 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: So first middle school, and then I look forward to 499 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: high school. And I gotta tell you, Willie, this whole 500 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: country has got to reopen our schools. You know, enough 501 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: is enough. Our kids need it and they're suffering. You know, really, 502 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: let's be clear, it's not just academic loss. Our kids 503 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: are suffering emotionally, and if they're not in school, it's 504 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: bad for them, it's bad for their emotional development. For 505 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: a lot of kids, it's very very painful to not 506 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: have that chance to go to school. And we've we've 507 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: got to pay more attention to that. There's some sense 508 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: coming out of Mayor build A. Blasio's mouth here, at 509 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: least when he says the whole country has to reopen schools. 510 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: That's where we are. There is no other position that 511 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: makes any sense. There is no other good faith argument. 512 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: There's no oh, but what about but we got to 513 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: talk but the ventilation systems, but the double masking. But 514 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: but no open the schools now, not next month, not 515 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: next fall, right now. But they have a very clear 516 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: problem here. And I hesitate to even bring this up 517 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: because it's so troubling when you really think about it. 518 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people, and there's also the 519 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: system itself, those who work within the bureaucracy, the apparatus 520 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: of government control at all levels, federal, state, local. There 521 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: are a lot of people who have been in positions 522 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: of authority and power during this and they don't want 523 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: to give it up. All you have to do. It's 524 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: so easy. You take a look at where COVID cases 525 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: are right now, and all you have to do is 526 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: see the precipitous drop in the last month new cases 527 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: on a seven day rolling average. And I'm using like 528 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: New York Times data, hear CDC data, you know, the 529 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: gold standard stuff that everyone's always talking about, not going 530 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: to some blog somewhere and taking someone's word for it. 531 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: The cases are down fifty percent, fifty percent in the 532 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: last month new cases. That's really, you know, impactful, that 533 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: really matters. So shouldn't there be an why aren't you feeling? 534 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: I ask you, is why aren't you feeling the enthusiasm 535 00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: out there? The hopefulness. Where's that sense of unfettered joy 536 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: just waiting, just waiting in the background for when we 537 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: can finally have our lives back. When they will stop 538 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: with the wear a mask, When they'll stop. Oh, they 539 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: don't want you to be able to stop with that 540 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: anytime soon? Do they? No? Not safe? Look at what 541 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: they're doing with schools and understand that this is going 542 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: to be their approach to everything with COVID as it 543 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: has been all along. It's not safe. Sorry, people are 544 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: suffering they're losing their businesses, they're suicidal, they're abusing drugs, 545 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: their health is deteriorating, they're losing their minds. Millions and 546 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: millions of people across the country are going through this, 547 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: and they have bureaucrats telling them, yeah, okay, fine, the 548 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: cases are going down, down, down, and the vaccine is 549 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: getting distributed, but it's not safe. Well when is it? 550 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: When will they find take their boot heel off our shoulder? 551 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: When will they say, you know what, okay, fine, we 552 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: don't just have unlimited power anymore. We don't get to 553 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: tell you that your business can't be open, or that 554 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: you can't go see your family members, or you can't traveler. 555 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: They're not going to do it. We're gonna have to 556 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: fight every step of the way because they will drag 557 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: it out as long as they can. And if you 558 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: ask me, how long is that, I don't know. But 559 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: whatever is reasonable, whatever is rational, and it'll be much 560 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: more than that, it'll go much further than that. I 561 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: can assure you. That's their plan. That's what they are 562 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: seeking to do here, to extend this pain, because it 563 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 1: means they can extend their control. They like the control. 564 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts, the news you need to 565 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure 566 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,359 Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart Act or wherever you get 567 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: your podcasts. I will say one of the reasons that 568 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: the President has put one hundred and thirty billion dollars 569 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: of funding and his American Rescue Plan is because he 570 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: knows that schools across the country need funding to satisfy 571 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: some of the mitigation steps that are recommended in the 572 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,479 Speaker 1: CDC guidelines. I talk with him about this this morning, 573 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: and his concern, as you have raised, that this is 574 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: deeply impacting women. We're seeing that statistically with every week 575 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 1: and every month of jobs numbers. We've seen it anecdotally, 576 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: and his concern is about the impact of course on 577 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 1: working women today, but also on how well it will 578 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: bring us back in the years ahead, because if there 579 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: are fewer women who are in the workplace, there are 580 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: fewer women climbing the corporate ladder, there are fewer women 581 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: who are getting law degrees, getting doctorates, and that has 582 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: a long term impact. So you're right that, or I 583 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: should say. What I'm taking from your question is can 584 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: we get this done if we don't have funding, If 585 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: we don't have the different components. When he announced his 586 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,919 Speaker 1: goal of opening the majority of schools, he made clear, 587 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: we need to have funding because most many schools will 588 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: tell you across the country they were waiting for the 589 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: CDC guidelines. They want to know how to do it safely, 590 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,479 Speaker 1: but they don't have They need the funding to hire 591 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: more teachers, they need more bus drivers, They need the 592 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,800 Speaker 1: ability to implement the mitigation steps that are going to 593 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: work for their school districts. Nonsense. Okay, you're hearing it 594 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: here from the White House Press secretary. The fact that 595 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: she has that job is really in many ways it 596 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: feels like all you have to know about this Biden administration. 597 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 1: But anyway, what she's saying is just is just bonkers. 598 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 1: We need, we need one hundred and twenty billion dollars 599 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: for schools so that schools can reopen because they have 600 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: to implement all these mitigation measures. Well, did somebody write it? 601 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: Did I miss something? Did someone write a check for 602 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: one hundred billion dollars to private and parochial schools which 603 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: which have been open all year and are fine. Did 604 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: did that check get written? I just don't know about it. 605 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: We need, we need money for all the money for 606 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: more teachers. The teachers they have aren't even teaching more 607 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: teachers or are they serious? Yeah, if they are. Unfortunately, 608 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: this is all just now people trying to get theirs. 609 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: This is teachers union saying, Wow, uncle Sam's gonna be 610 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 1: writing some big checks. Let's get our piece of that. 611 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,280 Speaker 1: Sorry that your kids haven't been able to learn anything 612 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: for a year and they're miserable and they've been separated 613 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: from their friends and their development is stunted, and sorry 614 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: about all that, but you know, we gotta get a 615 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: little more OT in the budget. Yeah, we need more 616 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 1: more zoom capability. Why is it that teachers are so 617 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: sacred in this whole process, but the people that are 618 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: are bringing you your food or opening up the grocery store, 619 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: or delivering your mail, or you go down the list. 620 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,760 Speaker 1: Why is it that we have to take this special 621 00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: precaution for teachers. It's because they are holding your kids hostage. 622 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: The teachers unions are holding kids hostage that they can 623 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: get as much money out of the taxpayer as possible 624 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: during this time of crisis. This is the This is 625 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: like war profiteering, except it's virus profiteering by the teachers 626 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: union that's what's happening, and all this other stuff. Oh, 627 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: we need money for mitigation. Why money for mitigation? Why 628 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: the the science the data doesn't say that, Oh, it's 629 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: really important that you have kids double mask and put 630 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: them in plexiglass pods and you rotate one teacher for 631 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 1: you know, for five kids every whatever. It is like, 632 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: that's not what the data says. Kids are at acceptable risk, 633 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:52,800 Speaker 1: which means almost no risk from this disease. Acceptable risk. 634 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,760 Speaker 1: That means that even if they get it, it's okay, 635 00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna be fine, and the teachers who are teaching 636 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 1: them are at very limited risk of getting it from 637 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: the kids. In fact, the CDC director said yesterday, spread 638 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 1: is worse in communities with schools that are on lockdown. 639 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: So someone explained how it's a good idea to keep 640 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: schools closed when the communities with schools open are better 641 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:25,879 Speaker 1: off from a pure COVID spread perspective. Someone explained that, well, 642 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: they can't. They have no case to make here. There's 643 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: nothing that they can say. They don't know what else 644 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,800 Speaker 1: they can say other than give us the money, because 645 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: we need so many more masks. I mean, it's horrible 646 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 1: here in New York city. There's just there's people's disposed 647 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,800 Speaker 1: of masks on the floor, on the ground, on the street, everywhere. 648 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: It's just trash. It's all over the place. Remember we 649 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: were told, oh my gosh, we're all gonna run out 650 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: of masks. We're gonna run out of masks. We're the 651 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: United States of America. We're the wealthiest country, the wealthiest 652 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,880 Speaker 1: socie in the history of the world, of the planet. 653 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: I mean that is a true statement. By far, we're 654 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: going to run out of a piece of cloth to 655 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: put over our mouths. Never mind the fact that there's 656 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: now a just are we allowed to have the discussion 657 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: about how effective is a loosely worn bala, you know, 658 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: a loosely worn bala clava or or kerchief, a bandana 659 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: over your mouth? How effective is that at preventing you 660 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: from getting COVID nineteen? Considering that now we're told, you know, 661 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 1: you really got a double mask, Are we allowed to 662 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:36,919 Speaker 1: ask that question or no? That's where we are, that's 663 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: what we're seeing here. Can't even ask the question? Not allowed? 664 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: Not allowed? Just do what you're told, peasant double mask 665 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: up now, not not single mask, double mask. And the 666 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: schools issue, I think people are seeing that this is 667 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 1: the canary in the coal mine. This is a taste 668 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,399 Speaker 1: of all of the rest of what lays ahead, which 669 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: is they're going to fight every step of your freedom, 670 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats, Biden, the Fauciites. You're gonna have to just 671 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,760 Speaker 1: with your with your fingernails, just ripping it with everything 672 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,800 Speaker 1: you've got. I want my life back, I want my 673 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: liberty back. No you're saying, oh, bucket's not that bad 674 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,840 Speaker 1: in my state. Okay, try and fly on an airplane. 675 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 1: See what that's going to look like in three or 676 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 1: six months with the Biden administration. Try to try to 677 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: do business. Try to go for a work trip into 678 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,359 Speaker 1: a blue state. See what the federal government has planned 679 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,760 Speaker 1: for you. See the way they're going to raise taxes. 680 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: Look at the federal policy on schools when it comes 681 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 1: to the CDC. What they're saying, this affects everybody in 682 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 1: different ways. Every state with a large population center a 683 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 1: major city has been in some form of lockdown, in 684 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,800 Speaker 1: many cases extreme lockdowns, and they don't want to stop it. 685 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 1: And they also maintain the right to do this again 686 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: in the future. See that's the other part of this too. 687 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: We're supposed to be thankful when they finally let go 688 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,799 Speaker 1: of this iron group of tyranny around our throats. We're 689 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 1: supposed to be thankful for it. I'm furious about it, 690 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: and I have been all along because I've known these 691 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: people are idiots. They're not as smart as they think, 692 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 1: they are not by a mile, and they like to 693 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: tell you what to do. There is a petty tattletale 694 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 1: hall monitor at the heart of the Democrat Party today, 695 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: the Democrat belief system in America. Petty tattle tales, that's 696 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 1: what they are. Where's your mask? Who are you doing this? 697 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,879 Speaker 1: You support Trump? You caused the virus? Really? Yeah? Remember 698 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 1: when the Red States there were stories, there were news 699 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 1: stories written about how the Red States were going to 700 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 1: be crushed by COVID nineteen because we don't listen to 701 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 1: the science and Red states, right, and it was the 702 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 1: Blue States that were the models of how to handle this. Yeah, 703 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 1: anybody want to revisit those bits of brilliant analysis. But 704 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: I've seen a lot in advance, that's for sure. I've 705 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 1: seen a lot. And one of the things that I've 706 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,720 Speaker 1: seen is that they weren't going to you know, there 707 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,879 Speaker 1: was this whole theory among conservatives as soon as Joe 708 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: Biden comes into power, everything is going to open and 709 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 1: everything's gonna be fine again. And that's the game. I said, No, 710 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 1: that's not what they're gonna do. Eventually, they'll give you 711 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:25,840 Speaker 1: a little they'll give you a little taste of freedom, 712 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,360 Speaker 1: and they'll give you just a little bit, like a 713 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 1: little bird dropper or eyedropper rather you would you would 714 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 1: feed birds with a little eyedropper of liberty. You know, 715 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 1: it's just a little bit, and you'll be so parched 716 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: for it at that point and say, oh my gosh, 717 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 1: you mean I don't have to wear a mask all 718 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,320 Speaker 1: day long outside only if i'm you know, in the 719 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,880 Speaker 1: between the hours of ten am and six pm and 720 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,799 Speaker 1: rush hour. They've actually done that in some places. They 721 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 1: have rush hour mask requirements in some countries. As if 722 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: that makes sense, Oh okay, only certain times of day 723 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 1: you have to wear a mask. But you'll say, okay, anything, anything, 724 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 1: Please just stop up harassing me with this idiocy. Right 725 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,840 Speaker 1: that's where it will be. They've broken a lot of 726 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 1: people with this. I can't tell you any people I 727 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 1: had saying, oh, you know, I don't want to hear 728 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,840 Speaker 1: about it anymore. It's not you know, fine, we'll just 729 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,240 Speaker 1: push through it. Really, don't tell that to your favorite 730 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: local business owners, your small businesses around you. If you 731 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,800 Speaker 1: live in a city, very good chance that small business 732 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 1: has been through hell and maybe he's never going to 733 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: open its doors again. Maybe if we had all said 734 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 1: that we really are the land of the free and 735 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,719 Speaker 1: the home of the brave. Maybe, if we really were 736 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: going to decide, don't tread on me has some meaning 737 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 1: beyond a flag that some people have in the background 738 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 1: when they're doing TV hits, we wouldn't be in this position. 739 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 1: Ask them. Ask the people who refuse to give you 740 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:55,279 Speaker 1: back your freedom under the guise of protecting you, how 741 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 1: well have they protected you? What have they really been 742 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 1: successful in doing with all of this, Show me the proof, 743 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 1: show me the numbers. And then when they're making their 744 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: highly unconvincing case to you, which I can assure you 745 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 1: is what will happen, you can go a step beyond 746 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,799 Speaker 1: that and say when do I get my life back? 747 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: Notice they won't give you. They say this is all 748 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 1: about data and science. Why can't they tell us right now? 749 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,840 Speaker 1: When cases day to day for a two week period 750 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:31,319 Speaker 1: drop below ten thousand COVID restrictions go away, and we're 751 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: on our individual You know, you're basically released on your 752 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 1: own recognizance, your individual behavior. You know, don't be foolish 753 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 1: if you're sixth day away from people, but you get 754 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,920 Speaker 1: your life. They won't do that. No, no sake bombs 755 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: even telling you we don't know when we're going to 756 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,959 Speaker 1: decide that we're going to give up all this power, 757 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: all this delicious power that we've accumulated. It's amazing, isn't it. 758 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,799 Speaker 1: That's how the status, that's how the authoritarians think. Here 759 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,600 Speaker 1: she is played twelve. This is the question, as I'm 760 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,680 Speaker 1: sure is the case for all of you, that every neighbor, 761 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 1: every friend, every family member asks at least me in 762 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 1: the street when I'm walking my dog in the morning. 763 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,359 Speaker 1: We want to be straight with the American public though 764 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,320 Speaker 1: it is we are not in a place where we 765 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,320 Speaker 1: can predict exactly when everybody will feel normal again, and 766 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,439 Speaker 1: it has there a number of reasons. One is, even 767 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: though we will have enough doses for every person in 768 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 1: this country, as you all know because we've talked about 769 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 1: it in here, vaccine hesitancy remains a challenge. We need 770 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: to ensure that everybody who can get a dose is 771 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 1: getting a dose? We will also need to be masking 772 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,959 Speaker 1: for some time. We also need to be still taking 773 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:42,320 Speaker 1: social distancing measures. So you know, there's, of course, is 774 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 1: an understandable question. And I think the President wants things 775 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: to return to normal, as we all do, but we 776 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,839 Speaker 1: don't know at this point what that timeline is going 777 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 1: to look like. Why not isn't it based on metrics 778 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 1: and data? Why can't they just determine right now? Why 779 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 1: can't this you know why? Because it's arbitrary, don't you see? 780 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 1: It's whenever they say so. Biden, the Democrats, Fauci, the CDC. 781 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: They've turned us all into little kids saying, hey, I'm hungry. 782 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 1: When when can I have a cookie? Or when can 783 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 1: I When can I go outside? When I say so 784 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,439 Speaker 1: is the answer from the lockdown left? And they look 785 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 1: you right in the eyes and they say it over 786 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,439 Speaker 1: and over again. When I say so, that's when if 787 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,000 Speaker 1: you say, well, hold on, but what about yeah? Science? 788 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,760 Speaker 1: They chant this like it's some kind of argument ender science. 789 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,239 Speaker 1: There's no science. And when I say so, but there's 790 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 1: a lot of power, isn't there. I'm telling you I 791 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 1: have seen this coming. I knew they weren't going to 792 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 1: just open everything off and have a totally different attitude. 793 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:54,320 Speaker 1: When Biden came into office, I was arguing debating with 794 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,799 Speaker 1: conservative friends of mine for months about this. And here 795 00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 1: we are. If we allow the Fouchis to continue, we're 796 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 1: going to be dealing with this misery for at least 797 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:10,279 Speaker 1: another fourteen or fifteen months. That's right. That's where it 798 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,160 Speaker 1: will recede in the summer. Don't get me wrong, it'll 799 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:13,879 Speaker 1: go down. They'll start to let you feel normal again, 800 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 1: but then all we're gonna hear about the variants, and 801 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:17,839 Speaker 1: then all we're heading the COVID season again, and then 802 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 1: you'll be back into it all next winter, and we'll 803 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: just be on this seesaw of totalitarian health policy madness.
