1
00:00:11,697 --> 00:00:14,977
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure

2
00:00:15,017 --> 00:00:17,977
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or

3
00:00:18,017 --> 00:00:22,497
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Donald Trump tells pronouns in

4
00:00:22,577 --> 00:00:27,777
Speaker 1: bios you're fired. That's right. Federal employees have been told

5
00:00:27,817 --> 00:00:32,977
Speaker 1: now officially that they are to remove pronouns from their

6
00:00:33,137 --> 00:00:40,137
Speaker 1: email signatures. I absolutely love this for so many reasons. One,

7
00:00:40,817 --> 00:00:43,137
Speaker 1: it's obviously going to drive the libs insane, so that

8
00:00:43,217 --> 00:00:47,697
Speaker 1: alone is worth it. The only people who have a

9
00:00:47,737 --> 00:00:49,857
Speaker 1: problem with this are the people that you really don't

10
00:00:49,897 --> 00:00:53,257
Speaker 1: want working in the federal government anyway, because they're left

11
00:00:53,257 --> 00:00:57,457
Speaker 1: wing lunatics and their ideologues and they want to inflict

12
00:00:57,497 --> 00:01:00,937
Speaker 1: their stupid ideas on everybody else and judge you if

13
00:01:00,937 --> 00:01:03,577
Speaker 1: you don't want to go along with it. So yeah,

14
00:01:03,737 --> 00:01:07,977
Speaker 1: I like this. But also it makes perfect sense. Why

15
00:01:08,017 --> 00:01:11,057
Speaker 1: should you be able to put something that is so

16
00:01:11,297 --> 00:01:16,057
Speaker 1: obviously political in nature in your government in your work email?

17
00:01:16,777 --> 00:01:18,777
Speaker 1: Why should that be? I mean, if I were sending around,

18
00:01:18,777 --> 00:01:20,497
Speaker 1: if I was a civil servant and I was sending

19
00:01:20,497 --> 00:01:23,857
Speaker 1: around emails, and in my email signature from say the CIA,

20
00:01:23,897 --> 00:01:27,097
Speaker 1: it said, you know, MAGA make America great again? Under

21
00:01:27,097 --> 00:01:30,177
Speaker 1: my name? People would have a problem with that, Okay,

22
00:01:30,217 --> 00:01:32,857
Speaker 1: that would trust me. At I know I actually dealt

23
00:01:32,897 --> 00:01:34,577
Speaker 1: with stuff like this at the CIA. That would never

24
00:01:34,617 --> 00:01:38,297
Speaker 1: be acceptable. But in this case, to put your pronouns

25
00:01:38,297 --> 00:01:41,657
Speaker 1: in is somehow something that everyone is supposed to turn

26
00:01:41,737 --> 00:01:45,657
Speaker 1: a blind eye to. Makes absolutely no sense. So I'm

27
00:01:45,697 --> 00:01:49,377
Speaker 1: happy that there has been some movement on this and

28
00:01:49,417 --> 00:01:52,017
Speaker 1: that they're saying you can't do this anymore because of

29
00:01:52,057 --> 00:01:55,817
Speaker 1: the two executive orders signed by President Trump on his

30
00:01:55,897 --> 00:01:58,857
Speaker 1: first day in office to curb diversity and equity programs.

31
00:01:59,297 --> 00:02:03,337
Speaker 1: So on some level, this may actually be because people

32
00:02:03,377 --> 00:02:06,057
Speaker 1: are trying to hide within the bureaucracy. They don't want

33
00:02:06,057 --> 00:02:10,857
Speaker 1: everyone to know who the little DEI commissars really were.

34
00:02:11,257 --> 00:02:14,537
Speaker 1: I think that's a part of it. But also they

35
00:02:14,737 --> 00:02:18,217
Speaker 1: recognize that there's a new sheriff in town and this

36
00:02:18,297 --> 00:02:20,177
Speaker 1: sort of stuff is no longer going to be acceptable.

37
00:02:20,217 --> 00:02:22,897
Speaker 1: In fact, there's a new story up that Mayor Pete

38
00:02:23,057 --> 00:02:28,857
Speaker 1: Buddha Judge has removed the pronouns from his email from

39
00:02:28,857 --> 00:02:32,377
Speaker 1: his Twitter bio, I should say probably his email signature too,

40
00:02:32,417 --> 00:02:37,257
Speaker 1: which is an indicator of just how fast things are changing.

41
00:02:38,057 --> 00:02:39,857
Speaker 1: I remember when it was just a few years ago

42
00:02:40,057 --> 00:02:42,377
Speaker 1: people were reaching out to me who were worried at

43
00:02:42,417 --> 00:02:47,817
Speaker 1: their company because they didn't want to have their pronouns

44
00:02:47,817 --> 00:02:51,537
Speaker 1: in there, because you know, this is absurd, it's absurd.

45
00:02:51,937 --> 00:02:54,937
Speaker 1: Give it pronouns your email signature. Well, well, what is that. Oh,

46
00:02:54,977 --> 00:02:56,857
Speaker 1: it's a helpful thing in case I in case I

47
00:02:56,897 --> 00:02:58,697
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, the worst thing is if someone

48
00:02:58,777 --> 00:03:00,897
Speaker 1: is confused by your name, or maybe they're even confused

49
00:03:00,937 --> 00:03:02,657
Speaker 1: about your gender, you just tell them know, actually, you know,

50
00:03:02,657 --> 00:03:05,097
Speaker 1: I'm a he, not a she. You know, if your

51
00:03:05,177 --> 00:03:08,497
Speaker 1: name is I don't know, you know, Ashley or Jordan

52
00:03:08,617 --> 00:03:10,337
Speaker 1: or some of these names that you know, guy and

53
00:03:10,377 --> 00:03:13,857
Speaker 1: girls will both have. It's not a big deal. You know.

54
00:03:14,177 --> 00:03:16,337
Speaker 1: No one's trying to be offensive, no one's doing anything

55
00:03:16,417 --> 00:03:23,137
Speaker 1: that is untoward. But it is rooting out the madness

56
00:03:23,137 --> 00:03:26,777
Speaker 1: that has become so widespread within the federal bureaucracy. And

57
00:03:26,817 --> 00:03:30,537
Speaker 1: so I love to see. It makes me very happy,

58
00:03:30,777 --> 00:03:37,857
Speaker 1: and it just feels like the madness is receding from

59
00:03:37,977 --> 00:03:40,777
Speaker 1: so many places in our country. But this was a

60
00:03:40,857 --> 00:03:44,737
Speaker 1: very particular type of madness that this was an absurdity.

61
00:03:45,577 --> 00:03:47,217
Speaker 1: I'm actually to tell you an interesting story here in

62
00:03:47,257 --> 00:03:53,617
Speaker 1: a second that came to me about the premier medical

63
00:03:53,617 --> 00:03:57,817
Speaker 1: facility in the country, Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda,

64
00:03:58,097 --> 00:04:01,897
Speaker 1: and how I got the Secretary of Defense and my

65
00:04:02,017 --> 00:04:05,697
Speaker 1: friend Pete Hegseth to tackle an issue that I think

66
00:04:05,977 --> 00:04:10,657
Speaker 1: is critical and is really really indicative of how much

67
00:04:10,697 --> 00:04:12,657
Speaker 1: better things are going to be under this Trump administration

68
00:04:13,057 --> 00:04:15,497
Speaker 1: and under this new Pentagon leadership. We'll get to this

69
00:04:15,537 --> 00:04:18,057
Speaker 1: in a second. You know, I was at Shot Show recently,

70
00:04:18,097 --> 00:04:19,537
Speaker 1: and you know who was hanging out with all day,

71
00:04:19,737 --> 00:04:22,577
Speaker 1: Bear Creek Arsenal. Our friends from Bear Creek Arsenal are

72
00:04:22,577 --> 00:04:25,977
Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic. They're a North Carolina based company. They make

73
00:04:26,057 --> 00:04:28,737
Speaker 1: excellent quality rifles and pistols at price points that are

74
00:04:28,737 --> 00:04:30,857
Speaker 1: better than ninety nine percent of what was on that

75
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:35,777
Speaker 1: convention floor at Shot Show. They've been making firearms for decades,

76
00:04:36,617 --> 00:04:40,297
Speaker 1: decades of experience. I'm sorry, they have decades of experience

77
00:04:40,377 --> 00:04:43,697
Speaker 1: and for the last well two decades they've been making firearms.

78
00:04:43,737 --> 00:04:45,577
Speaker 1: But I love the rifles and pistols. I've got them

79
00:04:45,617 --> 00:04:48,017
Speaker 1: here with me at home. I'm actually going to be

80
00:04:48,017 --> 00:04:50,537
Speaker 1: at the range tomorrow. I'll take them with me. Bear

81
00:04:50,577 --> 00:04:54,577
Speaker 1: Creek Arsenal stuff is fantastic. Stay updated on everything that's happening. There.

82
00:04:54,657 --> 00:04:57,337
Speaker 1: Go check out what they've got rifles, pistols, upper receiver,

83
00:04:57,457 --> 00:05:00,377
Speaker 1: lower receiver. They've got amazing knives too. They've got a

84
00:05:00,457 --> 00:05:03,777
Speaker 1: knife designer in house making all kinds of just cool

85
00:05:03,897 --> 00:05:07,897
Speaker 1: fixed blades and little tomahawk and all sorts of really

86
00:05:07,937 --> 00:05:13,297
Speaker 1: great edged edge tools, if you will, edge weapons, edge tools.

87
00:05:13,297 --> 00:05:17,257
Speaker 1: So go check it out. Go to Bear Creekarsenal dot com.

88
00:05:17,457 --> 00:05:22,297
Speaker 1: That's Bear Creekarsenal dot com. So there's video that I

89
00:05:22,377 --> 00:05:26,097
Speaker 1: have here of Walter Reed and it came to me

90
00:05:26,177 --> 00:05:29,737
Speaker 1: from a friend who's an insider at Walter Reed and said,

91
00:05:29,977 --> 00:05:31,457
Speaker 1: you got to see what's going on here. It's a

92
00:05:31,497 --> 00:05:34,177
Speaker 1: total mess. And this is just because no one has

93
00:05:34,217 --> 00:05:36,777
Speaker 1: been willing to focus on this, spend the money, get

94
00:05:36,817 --> 00:05:40,217
Speaker 1: it all fixed up. You know, it's in disrepair, flooding,

95
00:05:40,937 --> 00:05:44,657
Speaker 1: you know, it's just trash. It's a mess, a bit

96
00:05:44,697 --> 00:05:48,617
Speaker 1: of shutdown parts of the hospital, and it's just unacceptable

97
00:05:48,617 --> 00:05:50,657
Speaker 1: that this is the premieer medical facility in the country

98
00:05:50,777 --> 00:05:53,497
Speaker 1: and they have whole sections of it shut down. So

99
00:05:53,577 --> 00:05:58,017
Speaker 1: I tweeted out about this just saying exactly that, and said, look,

100
00:05:58,017 --> 00:06:01,697
Speaker 1: there's a video from an insider. Walter Reed Medical Medical

101
00:06:01,737 --> 00:06:06,057
Speaker 1: Center is in disrepair right now, and it has and

102
00:06:06,097 --> 00:06:08,817
Speaker 1: I'm told by insiders, you know, so again that this

103
00:06:08,857 --> 00:06:11,417
Speaker 1: has been for years. They've been saying, we need more

104
00:06:11,457 --> 00:06:14,137
Speaker 1: resources to fix this. We need more resources. This is

105
00:06:14,137 --> 00:06:16,577
Speaker 1: for physical plant stuff too. It's not like they're saying

106
00:06:16,577 --> 00:06:20,377
Speaker 1: we need more you know, research budget or something, although

107
00:06:20,417 --> 00:06:22,697
Speaker 1: maybe that too, But this is we don't want the

108
00:06:22,777 --> 00:06:24,537
Speaker 1: lights to go off, the pipes to burst, and the

109
00:06:24,537 --> 00:06:27,177
Speaker 1: place to crumble, and they can't get the attention of

110
00:06:27,177 --> 00:06:30,337
Speaker 1: the resources they need. So I shared this out on

111
00:06:31,537 --> 00:06:34,697
Speaker 1: social and sure enough at a lot of people saw it,

112
00:06:34,697 --> 00:06:39,377
Speaker 1: which I appreciate, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth responded

113
00:06:39,457 --> 00:06:41,897
Speaker 1: and he said, I verified this. This is real and

114
00:06:41,897 --> 00:06:45,177
Speaker 1: it is unacceptable, and he said he's going to make

115
00:06:45,217 --> 00:06:48,017
Speaker 1: sure that this is addressed immediately. You know, I've known

116
00:06:48,017 --> 00:06:50,577
Speaker 1: Pete for almost fifteen years. It's funny. I mean, this

117
00:06:50,617 --> 00:06:52,217
Speaker 1: guy that I used to do TV with and I've

118
00:06:52,297 --> 00:06:54,937
Speaker 1: talked to and had beers with is now Secretary of Defense.

119
00:06:55,537 --> 00:06:58,217
Speaker 1: And he said he's on it. He's going to fix it.

120
00:06:58,217 --> 00:07:00,697
Speaker 1: And I absolutely believe Pete will, and this is going

121
00:07:00,737 --> 00:07:03,057
Speaker 1: to get the attention and resources that it needs right away.

122
00:07:03,737 --> 00:07:06,537
Speaker 1: And so you know, it just goes to show you

123
00:07:06,617 --> 00:07:09,137
Speaker 1: what a different world we're living in now from the

124
00:07:09,177 --> 00:07:12,097
Speaker 1: Biden administration. This was for for years. Apparently they've had

125
00:07:12,097 --> 00:07:15,297
Speaker 1: this problem at Walter Reed of just physical plant falling apart,

126
00:07:15,377 --> 00:07:19,457
Speaker 1: bad resources, all this sort of stuff and or not

127
00:07:19,577 --> 00:07:23,017
Speaker 1: enough resources, and you know, they just didn't care. The

128
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:27,417
Speaker 1: Biden regime just you know, wasn't the priority. There were

129
00:07:27,457 --> 00:07:32,257
Speaker 1: other priorities, you know, DEI priorities or whatever. So it's

130
00:07:32,417 --> 00:07:35,217
Speaker 1: really encouraging to see this, and it was cool that I,

131
00:07:35,577 --> 00:07:37,697
Speaker 1: you know, because I our men and women in the

132
00:07:37,697 --> 00:07:41,417
Speaker 1: military should get the best medical care absolutely possible, right,

133
00:07:41,737 --> 00:07:44,697
Speaker 1: and that is a sacred obligation that we have to them.

134
00:07:45,417 --> 00:07:48,577
Speaker 1: And the fact that you've had this facility that's not

135
00:07:48,617 --> 00:07:51,257
Speaker 1: getting the attention, you know, it also sends a message, right,

136
00:07:51,777 --> 00:07:54,017
Speaker 1: and the message that should be sent to anybody who's

137
00:07:54,017 --> 00:07:55,657
Speaker 1: in the military has to show up to Walter Read

138
00:07:55,777 --> 00:07:58,257
Speaker 1: is you get the best. You're at the best facility,

139
00:07:58,537 --> 00:08:01,857
Speaker 1: and this should be true across all military medical facilities

140
00:08:01,857 --> 00:08:04,937
Speaker 1: and across the VA. But you know, we we give

141
00:08:04,977 --> 00:08:07,137
Speaker 1: you the absolute best, and at least in the case

142
00:08:07,137 --> 00:08:09,617
Speaker 1: of Walter Read, it is supposed to be the flagship institution.

143
00:08:10,097 --> 00:08:11,937
Speaker 1: So we need supposed to have all the resources that

144
00:08:12,017 --> 00:08:15,897
Speaker 1: it needs, and when it doesn't have that, it sends

145
00:08:15,937 --> 00:08:19,377
Speaker 1: a message to our troops, you know, your health is

146
00:08:19,737 --> 00:08:23,977
Speaker 1: not the priority, you know, and that's just an unacceptable message,

147
00:08:23,977 --> 00:08:28,537
Speaker 1: that's an unacceptable status quo. And so Pete is on it.

148
00:08:28,777 --> 00:08:31,977
Speaker 1: Secretary Defense, Hegseth, i should say, is on it. And

149
00:08:32,537 --> 00:08:38,297
Speaker 1: I'm just glad that we're in a very different, fundamentally

150
00:08:38,297 --> 00:08:41,377
Speaker 1: different reality with these things now than we were before.

151
00:08:42,217 --> 00:08:44,297
Speaker 1: You know, Monday of this past week is known as

152
00:08:44,337 --> 00:08:47,337
Speaker 1: International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We set aside this date on

153
00:08:47,377 --> 00:08:51,257
Speaker 1: the calendar annually to remember Holocaust victims and survivors. Today,

154
00:08:51,257 --> 00:08:53,777
Speaker 1: the rise in global anti Semitism and the constant attacks
