Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom huge. It is the anniversary
Speaker 1: of nine to eleven. Have we won the war on terrorism?
Speaker 1: Muller's team wiped or lost twenty seven phones? Totally clear.
Speaker 1: Biden spokesman tries to duck blow the question. The NFL
Speaker 1: protests and is met with booze and lu Lemon wants
Speaker 1: you to resist capitalism. This is the Buck Sexon Show,
Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really
Speaker 1: matters with passionable intelligence. Make no mistake your great American again,
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexon Show begins. He's a great guy. Now,
Speaker 1: welcome friends for the Bucks Acton Show. Honor to have
Speaker 1: you here with me. As we all know, today is
Speaker 1: a day that we will always remember as a country.
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of people sharing their personal memories.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about some of mine over the course
Speaker 1: of today. But it changed many lives. We lost many lives,
Speaker 1: and it also altered the course of the entire world. Right,
Speaker 1: the future of the planet was changed on this day,
Speaker 1: back on September eleventh, two thousand, nineteen. Years have passed,
Speaker 1: and obviously it has been a series of events that
Speaker 1: led up to this and then after it that we
Speaker 1: have had to confront that we know of as the
Speaker 1: war on Terror. And I have to say, those who
Speaker 1: told us that we would never have a signing on
Speaker 1: the deck of the aircraft carrier to signal the end
Speaker 1: of this, we're correct. There hasn't been a day in
Speaker 1: which we would say that the War on Terror is over,
Speaker 1: because the war on terror will never be over. There's
Speaker 1: no such thing terror as a tactic that stretches back
Speaker 1: for as long as there's been human society of any kind.
Speaker 1: People use violence and fear for their own advantage, for
Speaker 1: the acquisition of power. But if we're talking about radical Jehotism,
Speaker 1: and you could obviously argue there is no other form
Speaker 1: of Jehotism, then you could also look at what's happened
Speaker 1: in the most in most recent iterations of this conflict
Speaker 1: and say we basically have one. We have defeated for now.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I won't be resurgent. Remember the Allies
Speaker 1: defeated Germany in World War One, and then there was
Speaker 1: World War Two. We could see a resurgence of this.
Speaker 1: It's not over in that sense, but I remember what
Speaker 1: it was like. I remember being in the CIA and
Speaker 1: people talking about how we were going to be fighting
Speaker 1: in Iraq for as long as the Lebanese Civil War
Speaker 1: went on, which was fifteen years. We have been in Afghanistan,
Speaker 1: although not in continuous fighting the same way as you've
Speaker 1: seen in another conflicts. We've been in Afghanistan now for
Speaker 1: twenty years, basically almost nineteen years, and the country has
Speaker 1: learned some very painful lessons in this whole process. But
Speaker 1: while we're all being instructed by the media to panic
Speaker 1: over COVID, just remember that there were also many times
Speaker 1: when they wanted us to panic even more than was
Speaker 1: vaguely necessary, over the threat of jihadism. There were all
Speaker 1: of the remember the color coding system, the creation of
Speaker 1: the TSA, so many of these things that now we
Speaker 1: look back on and say, what were we doing, The
Speaker 1: creation of the National Counterterrorism Center, the Director of National
Speaker 1: Intelligence Office, the DNI, Do we need any of that?
Speaker 1: Did we really fix the problems of stovepiping of intelligence
Speaker 1: between the various agencies and the lack of sharing with
Speaker 1: the FBI, the CIA, and the other three letter and
Speaker 1: assorted agencies of the federal government and the National security apparatus.
Speaker 1: Those are questions that no one can definitively answer, But
Speaker 1: the good news is, and I think that we should
Speaker 1: spend some time on that. The good news is that
Speaker 1: we are in a period here of relative calm when
Speaker 1: it comes to Jehotism. After multiple wars, after innumerable covert
Speaker 1: operations and black ops insertions abroad, we have managed to
Speaker 1: temporarily at least neutralize most of al Qaida in the
Speaker 1: Islamic State. And President Trump does not get nearly enough
Speaker 1: credit from this, and he won't. But the roll up
Speaker 1: of Isis, I mean, the the rapid collapse and the
Speaker 1: taking of Rocca, that was something that we were told,
Speaker 1: even under the Obama administration, would be far more costly,
Speaker 1: far more difficult, because Obama wasn't somebody who was really
Speaker 1: leading on any national security issue. He was always looking
Speaker 1: for consensus, and consensus when you're talking about battlefield tactics,
Speaker 1: when you're talking about fighting against committed radicals willing to
Speaker 1: lose their lives, is often just too slow or just wrong.
Speaker 1: Obama administration, you'll recall, was marked with many mass casualty
Speaker 1: terrorist attacks in Europe and here in the United States,
Speaker 1: we've seen far less of that. You think of the
Speaker 1: mass casualty attacks in the name of the Islamic State
Speaker 1: San Bernardino attack Pulse Nightclub in Florida. There were the
Speaker 1: first year of the Obama presidency. People often forget this,
Speaker 1: but there was ruk Abdulmatalub, the so called underwear bomber.
Speaker 1: And while it did seem so ridiculous to every when
Speaker 1: this guy lit himself in effect on fire and almost
Speaker 1: blew himself away, including his most sensitive areas, he did
Speaker 1: almost bring down that plane which would have killed over
Speaker 1: a hundred people over Detroit on Christmas Day in the
Speaker 1: first year of the Obama presidency. We were just lucky
Speaker 1: that he was unable to ignite that device. And then
Speaker 1: there was s Faisal Shazad in Times Square, of the
Speaker 1: Times Square bomber, another time, when if he had just
Speaker 1: been a little bit more competent in his bomb building,
Speaker 1: he would have easily killed dozens, perhaps over one hundred
Speaker 1: people in Times Square on a beautiful day in New
Speaker 1: York City, not far from when I was sitting as
Speaker 1: the bomb went off. We've had vehicle attacks, including here
Speaker 1: on the West side of Manhattan and Chelsea. We've had
Speaker 1: attacks in cities across the country. It's hard to remember
Speaker 1: all of them, but it has calmed down quite a bit.
Speaker 1: It turned out that trying to appease radical Islam, that
Speaker 1: going around the world bowing and apologizing for America was
Speaker 1: not an effective national security strategy. That was not going
Speaker 1: to do it. And President Trump in office has been
Speaker 1: a necessary corrective to that. What are the things that
Speaker 1: I remember most from nine to eleven and those of
Speaker 1: you who've been listening to me for years now, And
Speaker 1: I'm very honored when I think about the fact that
Speaker 1: there are so many of you across the country, in
Speaker 1: all fifty states now who have spent at least a
Speaker 1: portion of your day, five days a week with me
Speaker 1: going on now seven years. What do I remember? Some
Speaker 1: of you will know these anecdotes, But I was in
Speaker 1: college on nine to eleven. It's actually going to Shakespeare class.
Speaker 1: Studying Shakespeare in college, as one does. I had been
Speaker 1: in three Arabic classes, I think, in advance of this,
Speaker 1: because I was already interested in the Middle East. I
Speaker 1: had managed to maneuver my way into an upper level
Speaker 1: generally a senior's only seminar on Arab Israeli conflict, and
Speaker 1: I just thought it would be an interesting area to
Speaker 1: specialize in. And then nine to eleven happened, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the recognition as we found out more
Speaker 1: about what happened that day, that we were going to
Speaker 1: go to war, and who knows for how long and
Speaker 1: with how many different groups, perhaps even countries. I remember
Speaker 1: going back to my dorm, going back to my dorm
Speaker 1: and watching on TV and seeing the second plane hit,
Speaker 1: because we were excused right away from class after the
Speaker 1: first plane hit. And I hope that I remember all
Speaker 1: this as it is with these kinds of traumatic events.
Speaker 1: As you know, some times people can have timeline errors.
Speaker 1: But I remember very clearly seeing as the second plane
Speaker 1: hit and the recognition that now this was obviously an attack,
Speaker 1: This was no accident. When I first sat down, as
Speaker 1: everyone else, I think or mostly believed, the initial impression
Speaker 1: was that this was just a tragic accident. But then
Speaker 1: we figured out very quickly that it was an insidious,
Speaker 1: mass casualty attack. And I watched as the towers fell,
Speaker 1: one after the other. I remember thinking how many people
Speaker 1: I might know in those buildings. The husband of my
Speaker 1: mother's sister, my uncle through marriage, working in one of
Speaker 1: the towers. He was late to work that way, otherwise
Speaker 1: late to work that day otherwise he'd be gone, and
Speaker 1: I remember recognizing and saying out loud, we are going
Speaker 1: to war. Changed the course of my life. Otherwise I
Speaker 1: likely would have been someone who went to work on
Speaker 1: Wall Street or management, soulting or something, try to find
Speaker 1: my way to enough success and comfort that I could
Speaker 1: get a decent house in the suburbs, find a nice wife,
Speaker 1: and call it a day. Instead, I joined the CIA,
Speaker 1: got assigned to the counter Terrorism Center, went to Iraq,
Speaker 1: Northern Iraq when it was a particularly spicy area of
Speaker 1: the country in two thousand and seven, went back to
Speaker 1: Central Iraq in two thousand and eight, employed to Afghanistan
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine, and came home from that
Speaker 1: and worked for the NYPD Intelligence Division. Came in right
Speaker 1: after the fight Naji Bulazazi attack, and then was assigned
Speaker 1: to the NYPD Task Force working the Faisal Shazad case,
Speaker 1: the Times Square bomber, among other averted attacks that we
Speaker 1: worked on during my time there. So it obviously changed
Speaker 1: the course of my life. But I was very lucky
Speaker 1: in that I didn't have any family members lost that
Speaker 1: I know so many of you did. I was very
Speaker 1: lucky that I wasn't a fireman or a member of
Speaker 1: the NYPD, or a flight attendant on one of those flights,
Speaker 1: or a pilot or someone working in the Pentagon that day.
Speaker 1: What did we learn from nine to eleven as a country?
Speaker 1: One thing is that evil exists, and if it can
Speaker 1: catch you sleeping, it will you have to be ever
Speaker 1: vigilant because there will be evil forces at work in
Speaker 1: this world, no matter how powerful, wealthy, successful we are
Speaker 1: as a nation. There will be those ideologies, those beliefs,
Speaker 1: those impulses from other human beings to tear us down
Speaker 1: and destroy us. I know it became something of a
Speaker 1: laugh line among the liberal left for a while that
Speaker 1: they hate us for our freedom, But the people that
Speaker 1: drove planes into those buildings did in fact hate us
Speaker 1: for our freedom, and their comrades and colleagues today haven't
Speaker 1: changed their ideological predispositions at all. They're absolutely in agreement
Speaker 1: with that that if they could destroy us as a society,
Speaker 1: they would. And then there are those within our own
Speaker 1: country who you would think would have rallied to our side,
Speaker 1: you would think would understand the stakes and would stop
Speaker 1: rooting against us because of their own narrow parochial interests
Speaker 1: or their desire to always be proven right. As domestic
Speaker 1: radicals who want to see this country brought low and
Speaker 1: then transformed. They still are very much here as well.
Speaker 1: One of my strongest memories from nine to eleven was
Speaker 1: the gathering, the only all school gathering that I can
Speaker 1: remember having when I was at Amherst College, pretty left
Speaker 1: wing place in central Massachusetts in the Pioneer Valley. I
Speaker 1: remember a professor standing up before the whole student body
Speaker 1: and saying, this is what happens when you make people angry,
Speaker 1: you see to a certain kind of left wing intellectual,
Speaker 1: to a certain kind of let's just say it, radical democrat, socialist,
Speaker 1: Marxist America actually got what it deserved that day. There
Speaker 1: were people who were saying that, then we remember this,
Speaker 1: this was a response to our foreign policy. There were
Speaker 1: academics who said this. There were journalists who believed this.
Speaker 1: Maybe they waited a while to write such things or
Speaker 1: say things out loud, but there was that belief. There
Speaker 1: was a flag burning on my campus within weeks of
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. Explicitly, these were students explicitly going forward
Speaker 1: to say that we got what we deserved. So while
Speaker 1: we can all talk about our unity and we should
Speaker 1: because the vast majority of Americans, yes, including our fellow
Speaker 1: Americans who are Democrats, a vast majority recognize what the
Speaker 1: gravity of the situation was and rallied to our flag
Speaker 1: and to our country, and we should remember that. But
Speaker 1: there was an element within our own borders that saw
Speaker 1: what happened, that saw us attacked in this particularly dire
Speaker 1: and vulnerable moment, and thought, this is something that we
Speaker 1: can work with, This will be advantageous for us. And
Speaker 1: you even see some elements of that still today. Don't
Speaker 1: ever forget there are enemies, foreign and domestic. That's one
Speaker 1: of the lessons we should take from nine to eleven,
Speaker 1: because neither of them have gone away as much progress
Speaker 1: as as we've made it, as many sacrifices as our military,
Speaker 1: law enforcement and first responders have engaged in over the
Speaker 1: last almost twenty years. You're in this is the Buck
Speaker 1: Sex and Show podcast. Why in God's name is all
Speaker 1: Buildings Matter? Trending on social media right now? What? What
Speaker 1: the heck are people thinking? What is wrong with people?
Speaker 1: All buildings matter? They think that this is clever? Now,
Speaker 1: Oh okay, because BLM is similar in its gravity and
Speaker 1: seriousness to almost three thousand Americans being either incinerated or
Speaker 1: crushed to death in a terrorist attack on all of us,
Speaker 1: including black and brown Americans, including people who are black
Speaker 1: and brown who weren't Americans who were visiting that day,
Speaker 1: who were four nationals. There was an attack on all
Speaker 1: of us. But we can't even expect true unity in
Speaker 1: this country in a day like this because the BLM
Speaker 1: lunatics want to pretend that this is of similar gravity
Speaker 1: and seriousness, that incidents like the Michael Brown shooting are
Speaker 1: to be thought of at the same level, the same
Speaker 1: categorization of seriousness as as the nine to eleven attack.
Speaker 1: BLM is an intellectually and morally unserious movement, you say,
Speaker 1: you have to remember that people don't want to hear that,
Speaker 1: And of course anybody in the movement would go into
Speaker 1: a fit of apoplexy. They would lose their minds if
Speaker 1: you said that to them. But it's true, it's true.
Speaker 1: If they were serious, they wouldn't do these things. They
Speaker 1: wouldn't say and support these things. The trend started because
Speaker 1: a Black Lives Matter supporter wrote on Twitter nine to
Speaker 1: eleven is sad, but let's remember that all buildings matter,
Speaker 1: and in response, the attention to tweet received, according to
Speaker 1: Newsweek here. There was follow up to this anyway, So
Speaker 1: hashtag all Buildings Matter is now the number one trending
Speaker 1: Twitter thing in the world because the babies of the
Speaker 1: BLM movement listen to us. We don't really have arguments,
Speaker 1: but if you don't listen, we'll scream in your face
Speaker 1: and we'll burn down your building. I've listened. When they
Speaker 1: say that police are racist and killing black people regularly
Speaker 1: in large numbers, systematically without consequence, they're lying. So I've listened.
Speaker 1: It's not true. What else am I supposed to listen
Speaker 1: to exactly? But you see, they use disrespect to what
Speaker 1: is sacred to reasonable people to get attention for what
Speaker 1: is exaggerated in the minds of brainwashed people. Nine to
Speaker 1: eleven is a day that affected the entire country. It's
Speaker 1: a day where the forces of evil killed almost three
Speaker 1: thousand of us and if they could have, would have
Speaker 1: killed three million of us in one day. Oh, but
Speaker 1: the BLM activists want to compare it to eight people
Speaker 1: who are unarmed. Doesn't mean unthreatening shot eight black Americans.
Speaker 1: It's always the focus on black Americans were shot. You know,
Speaker 1: there was a kid who had autism, who was shot recently,
Speaker 1: a white kid thirteen years old running his mother says
Speaker 1: and shot by police, wasn't killed. No protests about that,
Speaker 1: So I guess it doesn't matter as much to these activists. No,
Speaker 1: of course not. It does not matter as much to them.
Speaker 1: But just remember, they're showing you the BLM activist, the
Speaker 1: BLM movement, the Democrat Party, the Biden voters, the left.
Speaker 1: They're showing you who they are right now with this
Speaker 1: All buildings matter, that's right, slapping America in the face
Speaker 1: on this most solemn of days. That's just what the
Speaker 1: left is all about. Thanks for listening to the buses
Speaker 1: and show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now,
Speaker 1: let's talk policy as we think about the greatest threat
Speaker 1: this country faces right now. Our single biggest threat as
Speaker 1: a nation right now is internal political division that can
Speaker 1: spiral out of control. That can pull us apart. It
Speaker 1: can undermine any of our institutions, a phrase the Libs
Speaker 1: love to use about Trump, as they are constantly undermining institutions.
Speaker 1: It can pull apart our law enforcement, pull apart our elections,
Speaker 1: It can make us think that the entire system is
Speaker 1: corrupt in ways that are unfixable. If you're wondering what's
Speaker 1: our biggest external enemy, until recently, I would have said
Speaker 1: it was Jehotism radical Islam as an ideology meant to
Speaker 1: confront Western American Judeo Christian civilization. Right. That's and it
Speaker 1: was existential in so far as if they could have
Speaker 1: wiped us out, they would have, but they couldn't. And
Speaker 1: now they've lost so many fighters and so many battles,
Speaker 1: and spend so many and use so much of their resources.
Speaker 1: We always focus on the drain from America, which of
Speaker 1: course we should of blood and treasure into these conflicts.
Speaker 1: But remember that it's not an endless flow of committed
Speaker 1: fighters on the other side either, especially as we don't
Speaker 1: get involved in places where we don't need to be.
Speaker 1: Let local conflicts remain local outside of our own borders
Speaker 1: to the extent that we can. It's a lesson we've learned. Look,
Speaker 1: I was somebody who thought the Bush administration, with Rumsfeld
Speaker 1: and Cheney and these all these very powerful neo Khon
Speaker 1: think tanks in DC and the Pentagon policy planners like
Speaker 1: Wolfowitz or at dinner with Wolfowitz once a lunch. Actually
Speaker 1: deeply unimpressive guy. But anyway, he wouldn't remember. I would
Speaker 1: because it's out there thinking this is the guy who's
Speaker 1: the architect of all this stuff, and it was when
Speaker 1: he was still Wolfowitz. But we've learned lessons from those mistakes,
Speaker 1: I think, and we understand that it is there's nothing
Speaker 1: conservative about sending our own people to go rebuild societies
Speaker 1: for other people who are not Americans, and not even
Speaker 1: necessarily in allied countries. But if you're wondering what's the
Speaker 1: biggest threat we face now is a country external to
Speaker 1: this nation, it would be China. And the President knows this.
Speaker 1: The President is right about this, he has been all along,
Speaker 1: and I think everyone's waking up to it. When I've
Speaker 1: visited China a year ago, a little over a year
Speaker 1: ago now, I remember thinking, this is not a place
Speaker 1: that is looking to do its own thing and just
Speaker 1: be prosperous and be left alone. This this is a
Speaker 1: massive country, over a billion people, that is ruled with
Speaker 1: an iron fist, that has no real concept or care
Speaker 1: for human rights, I mean, from the government level, for
Speaker 1: human rights, individual dignity, rule of law, and will enforce
Speaker 1: its enforce its will upon people, and a lot of
Speaker 1: Chinese nationals will go along with all of this because glory,
Speaker 1: the national pursuit of glory, can be a very powerful elixir.
Speaker 1: And even people who are just working, even just laborers,
Speaker 1: people doing the most mundane jobs, if they believe that
Speaker 1: their membership, if you will, in a nationality, in a
Speaker 1: nation state family makes them more powerful, makes them part
Speaker 1: of something important. There's a lot, there's a lot that
Speaker 1: that ruling body that that government can do, can get
Speaker 1: away with. So China is our biggest opponent economically, and
Speaker 1: give it time. It will also be militarily. I'm certainly
Speaker 1: hoping that we never go head to head in a
Speaker 1: direct conflict with China. That would be it would be
Speaker 1: catastrophic in ways that it's hard to even imagine. I mean,
Speaker 1: it would the casualty rates. I I've seen some of
Speaker 1: the war gaming on this and it's horrible. But it
Speaker 1: might be more along the lines of the fight for
Speaker 1: influence first on the Chinese national periphery. So the various
Speaker 1: countries that it bumps up bumps up against right now, India, Russia,
Speaker 1: the literal states, you know, the island island nations, and
Speaker 1: countries that have island chains as a major part of
Speaker 1: their geography Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Japan, South Korea.
Speaker 1: How does China interact with all of them? And is
Speaker 1: it able to flip them to China's side in what
Speaker 1: is going to become a great power struggle along the
Speaker 1: lines of what we saw between the US and the
Speaker 1: Soviet Union. That's what we're heading for now. Anyone who
Speaker 1: would study history would see this coming. And we know
Speaker 1: that this is the trajectory of world So China is
Speaker 1: the biggest external threat? Can we all agree on that?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's nine to eleven. We should remember ignoring
Speaker 1: a growing threat can have catastrophic consequences, as it did
Speaker 1: on that day. So wouldn't it be in our interest
Speaker 1: as a nation to understand now to turn and face
Speaker 1: the likeliest place We don't always know, We're not always right, obviously,
Speaker 1: but the likeliest place where a major strategic level threat
Speaker 1: to this country comes from. Anyone who knows foreign policy,
Speaker 1: anything about the military, national security, international relations, knows that
Speaker 1: it's got to be China, right apparently not? What do
Speaker 1: you think the Libs believe is the biggest nation state
Speaker 1: threat we face or nation state level threat? What what
Speaker 1: could end us as a society if we don't rise
Speaker 1: to the challenge. Here's the former head of the Department
Speaker 1: of Homeland Secure already under the Obama administration, Jay Johnson,
Speaker 1: with an answer. Play three, Joe, I have to say,
Speaker 1: the number one threat to our nation and to our
Speaker 1: world is global warming. And it's a threat as we
Speaker 1: see in California right now. And it's a threat because
Speaker 1: we are failing to address it. As Barack Obama used
Speaker 1: to say, it is a slow motion emergency. And unfortunately,
Speaker 1: our political leaders always deal with the thing that is
Speaker 1: on the top of their inbox. This has been a
Speaker 1: crisis for some time now that we are failing to address,
Speaker 1: and we're seeing the evidence of it more and more
Speaker 1: year after year. Global warming the biggest threat we face.
Speaker 1: You see the way they're talking about these wildfires in Oregon.
Speaker 1: In California, actually just had someone a listener reach out
Speaker 1: and say that she's in a place where they might
Speaker 1: have to be evacuated because of the wildfires. I know
Speaker 1: it's very serious. Whether it's wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, it's always
Speaker 1: climate change or, as Jay Johnson says, global warming, but
Speaker 1: I thought we didn't call it that anymore? Can we?
Speaker 1: Can we just be clear on what the proper name
Speaker 1: is for this scientific phenomenon that they say is the
Speaker 1: greatest national security threat. The biggest threat we face climate
Speaker 1: change CO two in the air. You're breathing out CO
Speaker 1: two right now. The biggest threat we face as a country,
Speaker 1: as a species is too much of that in the
Speaker 1: air and the atmosphere. We live in a time of
Speaker 1: mass media combined with mass hysteria, friends, and the results
Speaker 1: are not good. Doesn't strike me as plausible that somebody
Speaker 1: who has not been pressured brainwashed over time could really
Speaker 1: think that the biggest threat that we face is climate change.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of other stuff out there. We've got
Speaker 1: countries with nuclear weapons. We've got nation states that we're
Speaker 1: supposed to liberalize as they became enormously powerful and populous.
Speaker 1: It's not happening. We have a resurgence of Marxism in
Speaker 1: our own country as well as in some countries abroad,
Speaker 1: and we're told the biggest and we're in the middle
Speaker 1: of a pandemic, which if you go back in this show,
Speaker 1: people asked I remembers last summer I was almost exactly
Speaker 1: a year ago, said somebody asked Buck, what really worries you?
Speaker 1: And I said, pandemic disease. I mean that's true. You
Speaker 1: can go back and check the transcript. I said it
Speaker 1: because it was I knew I'd seen the modeling that
Speaker 1: we would eventually be in a place where we are
Speaker 1: right now. In fact, we could have been through something
Speaker 1: much much worse. But now they tell us that with
Speaker 1: all the things that we face, with all the challenges
Speaker 1: we see climate change, that's right. What's really going to
Speaker 1: ruin us is if you don't turn off your air
Speaker 1: conditioners and let your house get to be about eighty
Speaker 1: degrees during a heat wave. What's really going to ruin
Speaker 1: us is if you don't bicycle enough, if you drive
Speaker 1: a car that's not an electric car, if you think
Speaker 1: that you should have enough power and not pay five
Speaker 1: times the current rate for it to run your appliances
Speaker 1: in your TV. And why are they opposed to nuclear
Speaker 1: energy because nuclear energy is the solution, the technological solution
Speaker 1: that we already have to all of this. But then
Speaker 1: that makes their whole windmills and solar power obsession obsolete.
Speaker 1: So it's not about science, it's about belief and it's
Speaker 1: about control. You see it with climate change, you also
Speaker 1: see it with COVID nineteen. So let's just all remember
Speaker 1: this here we are in nine to eleven. We remember
Speaker 1: those who lost their lives, We remember the dead, We
Speaker 1: remember the bravery of men and women that day. And
Speaker 1: then we remember the millions of Americans who took up
Speaker 1: arms and joined our military, went overseas, served in this
Speaker 1: war on terror. And while the strategy wasn't always perfect,
Speaker 1: our military acquitted itself with unbelievable bravery, dignity, and success.
Speaker 1: And we took out so many of the worst psychopathic
Speaker 1: scum on the planet in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries
Speaker 1: in the region. And after all of that, we turn
Speaker 1: around now and we are in what will soon again
Speaker 1: be as we get past this disease Apox Americana pax
Speaker 1: not pox, and the liberals want to focus on CO
Speaker 1: two in the air Massisteria. Friends, you're in the Freedom Hunt.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. How desperate
Speaker 1: are the Democrats right now to defeat Donald Trump? But
Speaker 1: what are they willing to do? I can't give you
Speaker 1: a real I can't give you a real answer to
Speaker 1: the question I don't think anyone can, because there's still
Speaker 1: so many weeks left, and whatever I think would be
Speaker 1: the outer limit of their insanity, I'm sure they're going
Speaker 1: to exceed those outer limits. But one storyline, one claim
Speaker 1: that you'll continue to hear, is not that President Trump
Speaker 1: was not great on COVID or miss some things on COVID.
Speaker 1: They have gone so far beyond that, which I think
Speaker 1: is also wrong. But they've gone so far beyond that
Speaker 1: that they will now openly claim that President Trump is
Speaker 1: directly responsible for the almost two hundred thousand deaths from
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. This is absolutely nuts. Here is Chuck Schumer
Speaker 1: among the most odious members of the United States Congress,
Speaker 1: Play six. There are thousands of my fellow New Yorkers
Speaker 1: who are dead right now, and it can be directly
Speaker 1: attributed to the President's lack of action lying about this crisis,
Speaker 1: no question about it. That's why we don't have testing,
Speaker 1: That's why where we are not on top of this
Speaker 1: because he swept it under the rug. On January twenty
Speaker 1: sixth I called for the President to make it a
Speaker 1: national emergency. January twenty six he did nothing for a month.
Speaker 1: What was he supposed to do. What was he supposed
Speaker 1: to do? And they never answered this question. It's never
Speaker 1: clear he was going to lock down the country before
Speaker 1: anyone had died here, that was the plan. It's easy
Speaker 1: to say, now, well, yeah, we should have done that,
Speaker 1: but would people have gone along with it? Would the
Speaker 1: public have listened that. They don't have the res sources
Speaker 1: to enforce all this stuff. I mean they even here
Speaker 1: in New York, which has turned into a little tyranny
Speaker 1: of stupidity because of Cuomo and de Blasio. Even here
Speaker 1: in New York City, they can't tell if you're quarantining,
Speaker 1: or where you're going or what. They have no idea,
Speaker 1: And they've got a lot of resources here, a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of government bureaucrats to order around, huge
Speaker 1: police force which should not be involved in, you know,
Speaker 1: mask enforcement or social distancing enforcement, but that's what they
Speaker 1: like to do. They like to order them to be
Speaker 1: their own little social distancing stazi Elin Lake tweeted out today,
Speaker 1: six hundred and seventy five thousand Americans were killed during
Speaker 1: the Spanish flu pandemic. Some of those deaths may have
Speaker 1: been avoided if Woodrow Wilson bothered to say anything about it.
Speaker 1: But no one serious says President Wilson killed six hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy five thousand Americans because it's moronic. Exactly. President
Speaker 1: Trump hasn't killed anybody. There's no order you can point
Speaker 1: to that shows that President Trump put people in. They said,
Speaker 1: we don't have enough ventilators. President Trump, use a Defense
Speaker 1: Production Act. Got enough ventilators, We don't have enough PPE.
Speaker 1: Defense Production Act. Got everybody the PPE they need. We
Speaker 1: don't have enough hospital beds. Send a hospital ship up
Speaker 1: here to New York. Saw it float by on the
Speaker 1: Hudson River. Set up hospital tents in Central Park, turned
Speaker 1: the Javits Convention Center into a multi thousand bed facility.
Speaker 1: Didn't even really use any of this stuff because they
Speaker 1: didn't need all these beds. But where was Trump asleep
Speaker 1: at the whale? Where was the falling down on the job. Oh,
Speaker 1: because he said, they're always so upset, fixated. They'll find
Speaker 1: some phrase, something that he said at some point in
Speaker 1: time that isn't even tied to any action, and say,
Speaker 1: see he said that thing, and that wasn't that wasn't accurate,
Speaker 1: and so everything else that happened after that is his fault.
Speaker 1: These people are absolutely nuts. Don't say anything. Joe Biden
Speaker 1: course has to read from the script here. And I
Speaker 1: don't really mean that as I mean that as a
Speaker 1: term of art. I mean he's reading from scripts a
Speaker 1: lot here. He is on how it's all the presidents fault.
Speaker 1: Played twenty four on the day that we hit one
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety thousand dead in the United States because
Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen. We just learned from the Washington Post
Speaker 1: columnist Bob Woodward that the President of the United States
Speaker 1: has admitted on tape in February he knew about COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen that had passed through the air. He knew how
Speaker 1: deadly it was. It was much more deadly than the flu.
Speaker 1: He knew and purposely played it down. Worse, he lied
Speaker 1: to the American people. He knowingly and willingly lied about
Speaker 1: the threaded post of the country for months. He had
Speaker 1: the information, he knew how dangerous it was. Now while
Speaker 1: there's deadly disease ripped through our nation, he failed to
Speaker 1: do his job on purpose. It was a life and
Speaker 1: death betrayal of the American people. Hel to do his
Speaker 1: job on purpose. Think about how stupid that is as
Speaker 1: a claim. Why would he fail to do his job
Speaker 1: on purpose. Joe Biden, You moron, what benefit would the
Speaker 1: president have from doing? Just put aside whether that's even
Speaker 1: a true claim. They will say anything, it doesn't matter, no, lie,
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the buses and show podcasts. Remember
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. I really think that journals are
Speaker 1: the worst people in America. I mean as a profession.
Speaker 1: I mean there are worse individual human beings. Yes, you know,
Speaker 1: mass murderers, child molesters are worse than your average journalists.
Speaker 1: But as a profession, I think journalists are the worst
Speaker 1: people in America right now. For a job that's technically legal,
Speaker 1: they do the most damage. They're the least useful. Here's
Speaker 1: an example. You're like, Buck, why why would you think
Speaker 1: that John Harwood, who's this guy? Worked for? Oh? CNN?
Speaker 1: Of course, the pandemic is now every week taking twice
Speaker 1: as many American lives as we're lost on nine eleven.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, well what is what is he trying to
Speaker 1: tell us? Yeah, there there are people dying from this,
Speaker 1: this disease that's out there, this pandemic that's real. What
Speaker 1: what What does the comparison with nine to eleven tell us?
Speaker 1: Every year more people die from you know, lung cancer
Speaker 1: than have died in you know the nine to eleven
Speaker 1: times ten. Well, what does that tell us? Nothing? It's
Speaker 1: it's irrelevant, But it's all meant to see, it's meant
Speaker 1: to conflate in people's minds. Nine to eleven asleep at
Speaker 1: the wee will hit with a mass casualty attack. Gross
Speaker 1: negligence Bush administration. Remember, Bush ended up getting reelected after
Speaker 1: that Bush administration and Trump hit by the pandemic. Didn't
Speaker 1: do didn't do enough? What was he supposed to do?
Speaker 1: What was he supposed to do? They never have an
Speaker 1: answer for this. Oh he lied, He lied, That's all
Speaker 1: we ever hear what he listened to fouch. The fouch
Speaker 1: said jump, He said how high? The fouch said, I
Speaker 1: want this? He gave him this? What what was he
Speaker 1: supposed to do? He allowed the States to set, you know,
Speaker 1: to set their actual reopen timelines, gave them all of
Speaker 1: the equipment that he that they could have. We are
Speaker 1: on track for the fastest ever vaccine ever under these
Speaker 1: kinds of circumstances because of operation warp speed what's the
Speaker 1: president gonna do. He's not responsible for COVID nineteen. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is a once in a century both Some people say,
Speaker 1: actually the flew of nineteen sixty eight to nineteen seventy
Speaker 1: was similar to this, but this is a very rare event.
Speaker 1: And to put it at the president's feet without giving
Speaker 1: any specifics, yeah, are there things? Why do I criticize
Speaker 1: Cuomo the governor of New York so much? But I say, well,
Speaker 1: you can't put on a Trump's feet because Cuomo not
Speaker 1: only has locked the city down much longer than he
Speaker 1: said he would based on the numbers they put forward.
Speaker 1: You know, they said, you get to this and we'll
Speaker 1: let you have your lives back. And we got to
Speaker 1: that level of low infection, we got to that control
Speaker 1: of disease. They said, yeah, now, still not giving you
Speaker 1: your lives back, still going to tell you what you
Speaker 1: can do because we say so. But that's not even
Speaker 1: the worst thing, as we know, the worst thing that
Speaker 1: Cuomo did was making a decision because he was so
Speaker 1: panicked and so you know, hyperventilating if you will, about
Speaker 1: the lack of hospital beds that anyone with COVID who
Speaker 1: is a senior from a nursing home in a hospital
Speaker 1: if they could be discharged, even if they had the disease,
Speaker 1: still got sent back into nursing homes. That is a decision.
Speaker 1: That is cause and effect. You send COVID positive people
Speaker 1: back into nursing homes. People in the nursing home, because
Speaker 1: they're the highest risk for death from this, are going
Speaker 1: to die. That is what happened. That's a very clear
Speaker 1: cause and effect. I'm not sitting here throwing out some alligay, Oh,
Speaker 1: we can't really know who. No, no, no, that's why
Speaker 1: Cuomo is now blocking doing everything in Canada block an
Speaker 1: actual investigation into this. Someone on the left, if they're
Speaker 1: going to continue to say that Trump is responsible for
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand people dying, someone on the left needs
Speaker 1: to tell me what was he supposed to do? What
Speaker 1: was going to be the different thing that he was
Speaker 1: going to do. And I never hear this. He said
Speaker 1: it was gonna go away. We've already talked about he
Speaker 1: was trying to keep people calm. If we're gonna be
Speaker 1: so literal, it is gonna go away. He didn't say when,
Speaker 1: but he was trying to keep people calm. What was
Speaker 1: he you know, he listened. They kept saying, he doesn't
Speaker 1: listen to the experts. Burks and Foucci. Burks and Fauci
Speaker 1: have been essentially the most powerful policy officials in the
Speaker 1: United States for the last seven months. And I think
Speaker 1: that's bad. I don't think we should have ceded all
Speaker 1: of that to those two. But that's what happened. That's
Speaker 1: what happened, Burks and Fauci running the United States pretty much.
Speaker 1: And now what do they say, Well, now they claimed
Speaker 1: that the president himself is responsible for all of these deaths.
Speaker 1: The president himself is the reason that people have been
Speaker 1: dying from this. Oh and the other Cuomo bro Cuomo
Speaker 1: to wait Lufta over at CNN is now goading Trump's
Speaker 1: base over this because he lies and we don't even care,
Speaker 1: We're too dumb to know or whatever it is. I mean,
Speaker 1: CNS full of morons play nine. He wants people weak,
Speaker 1: he wants them weak and scared. And what hurts most
Speaker 1: in this tape and him telling his own people not
Speaker 1: to wear masks wine he knew he was exposing them
Speaker 1: to danger, is that he's humiliated his own base, These
Speaker 1: people who are right to feel disaffected and frustrated and
Speaker 1: so angry at the political process and the institutions that
Speaker 1: they went with someone as much of a renegade at
Speaker 1: best as Trump early on, and he's humiliated them with
Speaker 1: how he uses the office. That's rough. Second, he's still
Speaker 1: doing it. He did Michigan tonight. He told them they're
Speaker 1: rounding the core or arounding the turn or whatever. He
Speaker 1: mangled the curve is going like this cases in Michigan,
Speaker 1: and he had another crowd where they weren't wearing masks
Speaker 1: and masks are optional, and he didn't tell them about
Speaker 1: masks either. He's still doing it, just blather what notice
Speaker 1: Cuomo here. He's so used to talking and idiot libs thinking,
Speaker 1: oh he's he sounds like it's Cuomo. Sounds like what
Speaker 1: a stupid person thinks. A smart person sounds like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's talking. There are awards coming out. He starts out,
Speaker 1: Trump wants people scared. That was the beginning of that
Speaker 1: sound by Trump wants people scared. And then he gives
Speaker 1: us this whole explanation of how the base is humiliated. No,
Speaker 1: we're not, I know, Trump supporters. He does not not humiliated,
Speaker 1: not at all, not even a little bit. And then
Speaker 1: goes on to say that he's telling them don't worry.
Speaker 1: We're bending. So does he want them scared or is
Speaker 1: he telling them don't worry? It doesn't matter. Just I
Speaker 1: hate Trump, Orange man bad. That's it. That's actually what
Speaker 1: the analysis is, with a lot of words thrown in
Speaker 1: there to make it sound like there is a thought
Speaker 1: process behind any of this. It's the equivalent. The liberal
Speaker 1: critique of Trump is like watching a baby in a
Speaker 1: high chair throw its toys on the ground, spit up
Speaker 1: its peas, and start crying all the time. That's the
Speaker 1: intellectual depth you get from them about the president and
Speaker 1: why he's so bad. There are real things they could
Speaker 1: criticize Trump on, and I know some of you don't
Speaker 1: even like me to mention. It's almost like I'm giving
Speaker 1: me a secret. We have not seen a wall finished.
Speaker 1: We've gotten some of the wall, fine. We have not
Speaker 1: seen a healthcare reform get past that is free market
Speaker 1: or more free market based as we were promised. Right.
Speaker 1: We have not ended the war in Afghanistan Iraq. I
Speaker 1: know he's trying, but these are look. Reality is reality.
Speaker 1: These are things that have not happened that we're promised.
Speaker 1: And you know, you can say, well, he's trying, he's
Speaker 1: gonna get there, But those are legitimate grounds of at
Speaker 1: least critique and debate. But it's never that it's Trump's
Speaker 1: a trader. Trump killed two hundred thousand people. These people
Speaker 1: are out of their minds. You know, I wasn't running
Speaker 1: around pretending that Obama was hiding under people's beds and
Speaker 1: you know, stealing their children in the middle of the night,
Speaker 1: as like he's some kind of monster out of a
Speaker 1: movie or something. Look at what they do with Trump.
Speaker 1: It's insane. Now, a lot of you might think, hold on,
Speaker 1: it's maybe it's useful to our side that their criticisms
Speaker 1: are so just maniacal. But what you're also seeing now
Speaker 1: with BLM and Antifa and the way the left has
Speaker 1: taken to the streets is that they believe this stuff.
Speaker 1: Though this isn't just rhetoric for them. They actually think
Speaker 1: that he's a fascist. They think that they're fighting against
Speaker 1: the dissolution of America. And then when you ask what
Speaker 1: has Trump done that is fascistic, where is the fascistic
Speaker 1: impulse of Donald Trump? In fact, most of the fights
Speaker 1: that he's had with the left have been over letting
Speaker 1: people have more choice, more freedom, and more legal protection
Speaker 1: as individuals, you know, constitutional rights, Second Amendment rights. Look
Speaker 1: at where is they talk about the kids kids in cages,
Speaker 1: which was a completenessrepresentation. That was a scam. By the way,
Speaker 1: I know this issue very well traveled the border multiple times.
Speaker 1: The whole kids in cageous thing with Trump. There were
Speaker 1: people who were showing up, the overwhelming majority of them
Speaker 1: not intending to actually go through the asylum process fully,
Speaker 1: but they were using the loophole of claiming a fake
Speaker 1: asylum after illegally crossing not legally illegally crossing the border,
Speaker 1: to overwhelm the system to be released in the United
Speaker 1: States Interior. It was an illegal immigration scam, and because
Speaker 1: we hadn't been set up for this before, there were
Speaker 1: some logistical facility shortcomings because it's supposed to be for
Speaker 1: individual males who are crossing the border, not women with
Speaker 1: their three kids who were skipping the immigration line, which
Speaker 1: is what was happening full stop, and the media was
Speaker 1: lying to you about this. Oh, they're fleeing MS thirteen violence.
Speaker 1: I guess you could say anybody at Honduras is fleeing
Speaker 1: MS thirteen violence. Of a lot of it there, right,
Speaker 1: But that's not that doesn't qualify you for because you've
Speaker 1: come from a country that's in a crappy situation doesn't
Speaker 1: necessarily mean you actually get asylum. What was the fascistic
Speaker 1: going back to this, what's the fascistic thing that Trump
Speaker 1: has done? They don't they don't have an answer. But
Speaker 1: if you bring that up, they say, horrible things. Horrible things.
Speaker 1: Do you and what are we all supposed to take
Speaker 1: from this? You know what sounds a bit fascistic to me.
Speaker 1: Politicians mandating that you are physically uncomfortable and that you
Speaker 1: can be the target of ridicule, of assault, even of
Speaker 1: action by the state, you know, arrest, perhaps just give
Speaker 1: it time for not walking around with a piece of
Speaker 1: cloth over your mouth. Biden thinks that that's funny. Played twelve.
Speaker 1: I have relatives all over the country and all over
Speaker 1: the political spectrum. How do you make the argument to
Speaker 1: a relative I have in Texas who says, yeah, this
Speaker 1: virus is horrible, but it's not Trump's fault. It's China's fault.
Speaker 1: Let's assume we'll take both your both at rogues points
Speaker 1: it China's fault. There's China's fault. Why did Trump praise China?
Speaker 1: Why did he say how transparent, how transparent, she's ain't
Speaker 1: paying the Chinese are going to be Why did he
Speaker 1: insist of the forty four people we had there, and
Speaker 1: while I and others who assisting that they go in
Speaker 1: and have access to see really what is happening to
Speaker 1: know the detail? Why did he not insist on that?
Speaker 1: And the virus is not his fault, but the death
Speaker 1: star his fault because he could have done something about it. Jake,
Speaker 1: I'd say to your uncle, he could have done something
Speaker 1: about it, but he said nothing. He didn't talk, and
Speaker 1: he said, there's no need for social distancing. Don't bother
Speaker 1: wearing masks. He actually went so far as to suggest
Speaker 1: that it was a violation of American freedom to maintain
Speaker 1: you had to wear a mask. And look what's happened.
Speaker 1: He didn't do things. What was the thing he was
Speaker 1: supposed to do? Doesn't matter? Orange man bad, That's all.
Speaker 1: That's all you're supposed to take away from this. Wearing masks.
Speaker 1: They're not a violation or freedom, No, it is. Actually,
Speaker 1: if you want to wear a mask, wear a mask ahead,
Speaker 1: that's your that's your call. It's basically a piece of clothing.
Speaker 1: It's a piece of cloth you put over your mouth.
Speaker 1: Go for it. I'm not saying, you know, if that
Speaker 1: makes you feel better the government mandating this? Now, what
Speaker 1: else can the government mandate? Slopes are in fact slippery. Friends,
Speaker 1: where do you think this stops? You think the next
Speaker 1: time you have a Democrat president with a Democrat majority
Speaker 1: House and sent it that they're gonna play by the
Speaker 1: rules and obey constitutional restraint or are they gonna ram
Speaker 1: whatever they want through, like I don't know, climate change stuff.
Speaker 1: And it's a health emergency, it's a gun violence emergency.
Speaker 1: Got to take in all those guns, all those assault rifles,
Speaker 1: hand him in and you go to prison. What do
Speaker 1: you think they won't do that? It's just a question
Speaker 1: of ken they It's not that they don't want to.
Speaker 1: They tell us they want to. You're in the Freedom
Speaker 1: und This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Meant
Speaker 1: to mention this before, but today it broke that Bahrain
Speaker 1: is another country that's going to normalize ties with Israel.
Speaker 1: The Bahrain Crown Prince is going to be in DC
Speaker 1: on Monday, according to White House officials. Another piece deal, Well,
Speaker 1: where were all those Obama administration peace deal. Oh that's right.
Speaker 1: There was the let's give it run a lot of money.
Speaker 1: It's their money. They say, let's give a lot a
Speaker 1: lot of them run a lot of money and send
Speaker 1: them pallets of cash to pay for hostages they've taken.
Speaker 1: That's what they did. I'll never forget. I was on
Speaker 1: CNN or with Girling Gurdon or Niction and for Greagan
Speaker 1: administration Carmaron and what this is, this is the best
Speaker 1: political analyst over at CNN, Mr remember Watergate and for
Speaker 1: Niction Reagan, Carter mur And and I was saying, guys,
Speaker 1: they we sent them a giant cash payment and they
Speaker 1: sent us people that were Americans that they were holding
Speaker 1: illegally as hostages. That is paying for hostage. That is
Speaker 1: what we did. We paid off the Iranians to release hostages.
Speaker 1: We negotiated with terrorists. That is what we did. They
Speaker 1: see it and they're like, no, the tostages was a
Speaker 1: separate thing in the cash just happened to you know,
Speaker 1: like ships passing in the night and like a tire
Speaker 1: with like a baby and like a thing. You know,
Speaker 1: CNN just blather, just blather, doesn't didn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: You're like, what another another piece deal for President Trump?
Speaker 1: Another piece deal here that. Oh, but he's not worthy
Speaker 1: of a Nobel Peace Prize. Obama, you know, Obama was
Speaker 1: so so cool, so hip, doing doing great stuff, right,
Speaker 1: That's what we were told. And Trump their hatred for him,
Speaker 1: they're they're the criticisms of him aren't even interesting because
Speaker 1: they're so deranged. The criticisms criticism of him aren't even
Speaker 1: worth hearing because it's never it's never illuminating. You're just like,
Speaker 1: this is the same stuff over and over again. They
Speaker 1: simply they simply don't care. And then you also have, oh,
Speaker 1: on the and the economic fallout, this is another thing
Speaker 1: they're gonna blame on the president. Here's Joe Biden play
Speaker 1: twenty three well. Experts say that if he had acted
Speaker 1: just one week sooner, thirty six thousand people would have
Speaker 1: been saved. If he acted two weeks sooner back in March,
Speaker 1: fifty four thousand lives would have been spared in March
Speaker 1: and April alone. You know, his failure is not only
Speaker 1: cost lives, his center our economy and a tailspin. It
Speaker 1: cost millions more in American livelihoods. This is a recession
Speaker 1: created by Donald Trump's negligence and he is unfit for
Speaker 1: this job. Is a consequence. I mean, that's just an
Speaker 1: intellectually indefensible, dumbass thing to say Trump created the recession. Really,
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna go with, now, Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: they're gonna go with. Biden is speaking to people like
Speaker 1: he assumes they're all idiots or their program to just
Speaker 1: nod and clap for whatever he says. That's it. Biden
Speaker 1: speaking to human beings across the country like they have
Speaker 1: no ability to sift through fact from fiction. And that's
Speaker 1: really a very important characteristic for his voter base. This
Speaker 1: is all about belief, and it's all about what they
Speaker 1: are told to do and told to think. This is
Speaker 1: not this is not, my friends, about a sober rational
Speaker 1: judgment on the Trump presidency, not for Democrats. If it were,
Speaker 1: they'd be saying very different stuff. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: the past. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts at the
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's
Speaker 1: talk school reopening, home schooling, and whether Americans are finally
Speaker 1: seeing that maybe the public's system not as entirely essential
Speaker 1: as we had all been led to believe for a
Speaker 1: very long time to walk us through all this stuff.
Speaker 1: We've got our friend EDAs Felcher with us now. She's
Speaker 1: a senior policy analyst at the Independent Woman's Forum in
Speaker 1: It's good to have you back. It's always great to
Speaker 1: be here with you, Buck. So, how are the school
Speaker 1: reopenings going? What are we seeing? What's happening? Well, we're
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of chaos in a lot of districts.
Speaker 1: The plans weren't released until a week or two ago
Speaker 1: in some cases, purposely so that it would be difficult
Speaker 1: for families to make alternative arrangements that they weren't happy
Speaker 1: with either the remote or hybrid plan that schools were introducing.
Speaker 1: So there's been a lot of chaos. Some places are open,
Speaker 1: some places are going a hybrid, which means you know,
Speaker 1: there's there's rotating schedules once or twice a week in
Speaker 1: person and the rest remote. And further the one more
Speaker 1: portion of our nation schools are still going fully remote,
Speaker 1: just like they did in the spring. So how has
Speaker 1: it been in comparison to what the expectations were for
Speaker 1: all these plans? Yeah, well, I think parents are very
Speaker 1: frustrated right now because you know, this pandemic took us
Speaker 1: all by surprise. We're not talking anymore about the months
Speaker 1: of March and April. A lot of families limped through
Speaker 1: very dissatisfying and ineffective distance learning through the Spring. But
Speaker 1: what they're seeing is this year that things are not
Speaker 1: that different, that schools are not really much more prepared
Speaker 1: than they were in the Spring to deliver distance learning effectively.
Speaker 1: So a lot of families are looking for alternative arrangements,
Speaker 1: whether that's choosing to formally homeschool their kids or to
Speaker 1: join what's called being called pandemic pods, right to join
Speaker 1: up with a few other families who have schooid children
Speaker 1: and then to share an in person tutor or have
Speaker 1: the parents take on rotating duties in terms of teaching
Speaker 1: the children. So we're seeing a lot of innovation, a
Speaker 1: lot of parent driven innovation. We're not seeing the school
Speaker 1: system recognize how badly Spring distance learning has failed for
Speaker 1: most families and then rushed to make that up, And
Speaker 1: instead we're seeing teachers unions and edit school administrations try
Speaker 1: to close off alternative avenues for parents out of fear
Speaker 1: that they're going to lose funding. How is the homeschooling
Speaker 1: surge coming along. Do we have some sense of how
Speaker 1: many people new people are homeschooling and what's the I
Speaker 1: guess there can't really be a consensus, but what are
Speaker 1: some of the from the front lines of the homeschooling battles.
Speaker 1: What are we hearing? Yeah, so we just had a
Speaker 1: whole come out the other day that showed that one
Speaker 1: in ten American families is now homeschooling, and the language
Speaker 1: was very careful. This is not just folks who are
Speaker 1: adding at home and have their kids somehow otherwise enrolled
Speaker 1: in a school. These are folks that are formally homeschooling,
Speaker 1: where their children are receiving education primarily from home. That's
Speaker 1: more than double what the normal numbers, or so we've
Speaker 1: seen homeschooling. Formal homeschooling numbers double and potentially even higher
Speaker 1: than that, because again, this is families. So you've got
Speaker 1: a lot of families with multiple kids, all of whom
Speaker 1: are now being schooled at home, so the percentage of
Speaker 1: kids might even be up more than that ten percent.
Speaker 1: And then you have all the families that are experimenting
Speaker 1: with different kinds of alternatives in addition to virtual learning
Speaker 1: of parents who weren't satisfied with the virtual learning. They're
Speaker 1: still having their kids, you know, to go to school
Speaker 1: and be counted on the attendance rosters, but they're either
Speaker 1: doing pods or they're teaching their kids more at home.
Speaker 1: So I suspect actually the impact is much bigger. But
Speaker 1: what we have seen is a drastic draw down in
Speaker 1: enrollment numbers from eighty three percents, not including charter schools.
Speaker 1: Actually charter schools, Interestingly, those numbers have held steady, meaning
Speaker 1: that parents are relatively satisfied with what they're delivering getting
Speaker 1: from charter schools as opposed to traditional public schools. But
Speaker 1: in the traditional publics, who have gone down from eighty
Speaker 1: three percent of American students being enrolled in traditional public
Speaker 1: schools to seventy six. I mean, that's an earthquake. And
Speaker 1: it remains to be seen whether this will be a
Speaker 1: one year thing in response to the coronavirus. I suspect
Speaker 1: it will have a long term cultural impact and hopefully
Speaker 1: we'll change the education system for the better. How are
Speaker 1: the teachers unions fighting back against this? I've seen some
Speaker 1: stories here and there about efforts to make homeschooling either
Speaker 1: more difficult or just not allowed. What's going on with that? Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: there's definitely been pushed back from districts again trying to
Speaker 1: close off those alternative options for parents who are not
Speaker 1: satisfied with what they're getting from the public schools instead
Speaker 1: of trying to improve what they're delivering to parents, public
Speaker 1: schools oftentimes and especially teachers unions have gone either way
Speaker 1: to try to foreclose other options. So, for example, in
Speaker 1: states like Oregon, in Pennsylvania, they've been pushing the unions
Speaker 1: have been pushing the state legislatures to cap enrollment in
Speaker 1: virtual charter schools that already existed. These are charter schools
Speaker 1: that are used to delivering content online and they've been
Speaker 1: doing so for many years prior to the pandemic, and
Speaker 1: just makes sense to you know, learn from them and
Speaker 1: to let them increase in enrollment. But teachers unions to
Speaker 1: try to close off those options. They've also sent there
Speaker 1: was one principle in a San Diego district that sent
Speaker 1: out a message to parents basically warning them that if
Speaker 1: they didn't jump through all the correct hoops in terms
Speaker 1: of registering their their students as homeschoolers, then what they
Speaker 1: would be doing is illegal. I highly recommend Homeschool Legal
Speaker 1: Defense Association if you're considering homeschooling. Their membership, I think
Speaker 1: is like eleven bucks a year, and they have all
Speaker 1: of the legal informations. You can make sure to cross
Speaker 1: your teas and diet your eyes. But this was obviously
Speaker 1: an attempt from a San Diego principle to try to
Speaker 1: discourage families from homeschooling, and it ended with an appeal,
Speaker 1: please please don't don't leave our school. Our staff salaries
Speaker 1: depend on you enrolling, which, of course, the purpose of
Speaker 1: the seven hundred billion dollars we spend every year in
Speaker 1: education is supposed to be for educating children. It's not
Speaker 1: just supposed to be staff salaries for adults and empty buildings.
Speaker 1: Oh actually, and let me just add one more, one
Speaker 1: more thing. What we're seeing is the rise of these NDAs,
Speaker 1: the non disclosure agreements. For families that are receiving virtual learning.
Speaker 1: They're getting legal documents from the school saying that parents
Speaker 1: are either not allowed to sit in on those classes
Speaker 1: and to watch the content their kids are learning, or
Speaker 1: if they do, they're not allowed to share that content.
Speaker 1: Because we're seeing that pop up on Twitter, and you know,
Speaker 1: Temper Carlson. We're seeing some of these examples of what
Speaker 1: kids are actually learning in schools for the first time.
Speaker 1: This is a first time for a lot of parents.
Speaker 1: They're actually seeing this material and they're not pleased, and
Speaker 1: schools are trying to get around that backlash by forcing
Speaker 1: families to sign nondisclosure agreements. Is before I Let You Go,
Speaker 1: and it's in as Felcher from the Independent Women's Forum
Speaker 1: where she's a senior policy analyst For people listening to
Speaker 1: this who are either maybe just starting or thinking about
Speaker 1: homeschooling their kids, but they might have this thought of
Speaker 1: am I doing it right? Can I a basic I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I would think am I in a position if I
Speaker 1: had kids? Which I don't, But am I in a
Speaker 1: position to homeschool my kids? Do I know how to
Speaker 1: do this? Where can those parents go? Um? Like I said,
Speaker 1: HSLDA is a great resource, but also my organization IWF.
Speaker 1: We've done a number of blog posts from homeschooling families
Speaker 1: who are homeschooling before the pandemic with tips and tricks,
Speaker 1: and there's been a lot of that, especially the Daily
Speaker 1: Signal over A. Heritage Foundation has had some great events.
Speaker 1: Heritage foundation itself has put together events from families that
Speaker 1: are doing plotting or homeschooling before basically giving those those
Speaker 1: those sort of advice and tricks and recommending curriculum and materials.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of this stuff out there online. It
Speaker 1: can feel overwhelming, but I think the number one thing
Speaker 1: to keep in mind is that you're not replicating school
Speaker 1: at home. It actually is a much more relaxed Many
Speaker 1: families find it to be a much more relax environment.
Speaker 1: They find they can get through the kind of academic
Speaker 1: material and a much smaller number of hours than sending
Speaker 1: your kids off to school for seven or eight hours
Speaker 1: and then having them come back to home to do
Speaker 1: two or three more hours of homework. And a lot
Speaker 1: of families are finding, actually, especially in comparison to the
Speaker 1: chaos that's happening across the public schools today, that actually
Speaker 1: homeschooling is a more relaxing auction, and I feel like
Speaker 1: perhaps a weight has been lifted off of their backs
Speaker 1: rather than frantically trying to keep up with whatever that
Speaker 1: the schedule of the week is. With virtual learning. Have
Speaker 1: you ever heard Michael Malice say that? He says this
Speaker 1: often public schools are prisons for children. Have you ever
Speaker 1: heard that? I just wondering. A few come across it.
Speaker 1: I haven't. It didn't originate with him, Yeah, really, I've
Speaker 1: never heard anyone else say that. Where did that originate?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I've been hearing it for like
Speaker 1: well over a decade. So it's what are your various
Speaker 1: online nowadays? I don't. I don't think public schools are prisons.
Speaker 1: I actually think, you know, originally the public school system.
Speaker 1: I'm of two minds as to the history of the
Speaker 1: public school system, the common schools in the United States.
Speaker 1: On the one hand, they did centralized education in a
Speaker 1: way I think was negative for the country, but they
Speaker 1: also did create some kind of community bonds between folks.
Speaker 1: And actually, this is one of the last community you know,
Speaker 1: sort of centers that a lot of American towns have
Speaker 1: people gather for for you know, football games on Friday.
Speaker 1: They do provide a lot of this community blue and
Speaker 1: I don't want to downplay the importance of that. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: it can't come at the expense of education. That it's
Speaker 1: they're all the socialization aspects and the community aspects. Those
Speaker 1: are all wonderful and important, But first and foremost, you know,
Speaker 1: education has to be about education, and both in terms
Speaker 1: of just academics and not delivering you know, academic results
Speaker 1: year after year. The public schools have failed. And then
Speaker 1: I think even more importantly, they've they've really failed to
Speaker 1: equip now two generations, mine and yours. They assume the millennials,
Speaker 1: you might be an x xennial. Oh hey, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: an old millennial. Yeah, but our generation and then the
Speaker 1: generation that's coming after us. They've totally failed to equip
Speaker 1: us as a generation with the knowledge of being a
Speaker 1: good American citizen, to understand our founding, understand our constitution,
Speaker 1: our way of life here in America. And instead they've
Speaker 1: largely inculcated false leaps about America being systemically racist. And
Speaker 1: we're seeing the results of teaching. We're broadly teaching these myths,
Speaker 1: these dangerous myths today, I think in the riots and
Speaker 1: the unrest. So I don't think the public schools have
Speaker 1: done a bang up job. Even though they do, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't call them prisons. I do think they provide some
Speaker 1: community aspects that are important, but those those community aspects
Speaker 1: cannot outweigh the importance of education and citizenship. Ines belter,
Speaker 1: everybody es, thanks so much for joining. Always good to
Speaker 1: see you. He's always great to see you. But you're
Speaker 1: in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Sex and Show podcast.
Speaker 1: You know how you become famous as a journal accused
Speaker 1: Trump of something bad? And if you just want to
Speaker 1: score a whole bunch of points and get social media followers,
Speaker 1: say that he's a liar. Say in the West wing
Speaker 1: of the White House that the President of the United
Speaker 1: States is a liar? Play clip eighteen. Why did you
Speaker 1: mind the American people? And why should we trust what
Speaker 1: you have to say? A terrible question and the phraseology
Speaker 1: I didn't lie. What I said is we have to
Speaker 1: become we can't be panicked. I knew that the tapes were.
Speaker 1: These were a series of phone calls that we had,
Speaker 1: mostly phone calls. And Bob Woodward is somebody that I
Speaker 1: respect just from hearing the name from many many years,
Speaker 1: not knowing too much about his work and not caring
Speaker 1: about his work. But I thought it would be interesting
Speaker 1: to talk to him for a period of you know, calls,
Speaker 1: So we did that. I don't know if it's good
Speaker 1: a bit. I don't even know if the book is
Speaker 1: good or bad. But certainly if he thought that was
Speaker 1: a bad statement, he would have reported it because he
Speaker 1: thinks that, you know, or you don't want to have
Speaker 1: anybody that is going to suffer medically because of some fact.
Speaker 1: And he didn't report it because he didn't think it
Speaker 1: was bad. Nobody thought it was been win a minute,
Speaker 1: win a minute. And you question the way you phrase
Speaker 1: that is such a disgrace. It's a disgrace to ABC
Speaker 1: Television network. It's a disgrace to your employer. Yep, it is.
Speaker 1: I pointed out that Obama lied to the entire American people,
Speaker 1: I mean really lied. If you like your healthcare plan,
Speaker 1: you can keep it. He lied to get something passed
Speaker 1: through the Congress that he wouldn't have been able to otherwise.
Speaker 1: He knew it was a lie when he said it.
Speaker 1: He repeated it tons of times. It affected a lot
Speaker 1: of people, cause and effect. Do you think that Jonathan
Speaker 1: Carl ever said why did you lie? Oh? I'm sure?
Speaker 1: Fake Tapper was like, thir did you did you feel
Speaker 1: like you perhaps misled, maybe a little unintentionally, but misled
Speaker 1: the American people? Was there a lack of candor when
Speaker 1: you Jonathan Carl's like, why did you lie. It's a
Speaker 1: very different things. Right. If you go up to somebody
Speaker 1: and you say, hey Bob, you know you said you
Speaker 1: were gonna hand in your TPS report yesterday and there
Speaker 1: was no TPS report, you know you think maybe you
Speaker 1: misspoke on that one. That's one thing if you want
Speaker 1: to be hey Bob, you're a TPS report, not doing liar,
Speaker 1: very different, right. It's about respect, it's about decorum, it's
Speaker 1: about a show of decency. But if you want to
Speaker 1: be a famous journal and you're or a more famous journal,
Speaker 1: all you have to do is attack Trump in some
Speaker 1: way and everyone thinks that you're such a great guy. Well,
Speaker 1: sometimes these days you have, I think, a recognition that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden can't get this thing done. The more people
Speaker 1: see him out there, the more they recognize that this
Speaker 1: guy is just unable to do it, unable to do it,
Speaker 1: and that his best plan for America so far is
Speaker 1: that he's going to take more of your money. Play thirteen.
Speaker 1: What I'm talking about is no one making under four
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year, and we'll pay a single
Speaker 1: increase in taxes. Have a list here of the taxes
Speaker 1: we're going to change to make sure that everybody pays
Speaker 1: their fair share. And you realize there's nineteen and the
Speaker 1: fortune five hundred companies don't pay a single penny in tax,
Speaker 1: not one single penny in taxes that people making in
Speaker 1: the top one from By the time the tax cut
Speaker 1: the ten years runs out, middle class taxes are going
Speaker 1: to go up even higher. And their Trump's tax bill,
Speaker 1: and they're wealthy, You're going to get even more wealthy.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to punish anybody. Yeah, but when would
Speaker 1: you make these changes? Is my point? Because the economy
Speaker 1: is in a bad state right now. You wouldn't. I mean,
Speaker 1: would you wait for unemployment to go under two percent?
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, I'd make the changes on the
Speaker 1: corporate taxes on day one. And the reason I make
Speaker 1: the change of corporate taxes it can raise one point
Speaker 1: three trillion dollars if they just start paying at twenty
Speaker 1: eight percent to twenty one percent. And what's what are
Speaker 1: they doing? They're not hiring more people. This guy has
Speaker 1: no idea what he's talking about. Not very smart, never
Speaker 1: has been very smart, not very successful other than just
Speaker 1: in getting elected to senator from Delaware. No offense to
Speaker 1: any of our beloved Delaware listeners. But it is like,
Speaker 1: you know, becoming the mayor of Schenectady. It's not that
Speaker 1: big a deal to be a senator from a state
Speaker 1: of the size and political importance. Again, beautiful beaches. I
Speaker 1: like Delaware, but it's a different deal when you're talking
Speaker 1: about whether we're supposed to be impressed by Joe Biden's
Speaker 1: political career there. But Trump understands that there's a weakness year.
Speaker 1: Trump understands that the Libs, they're just the weekend at
Speaker 1: Bernie's candidacy has some cracks in it. There are some
Speaker 1: problems play seventeen. As we continue to follow the science
Speaker 1: based approach to protect our people and vanquish the virus,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden continues to use the pandemic for political game.
Speaker 1: Every time I see him, he starts talking about the pandemic.
Speaker 1: He's reading an off a teleprompter. I'm not allowed to
Speaker 1: use the teleprompter. Why is that phil? They ask questions,
Speaker 1: and he starts reading the teleprompter. He says, move the
Speaker 1: teleprompter a little bit closer, please. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think if I did that, I'd be in big trouble.
Speaker 1: I think that would be that would be the story
Speaker 1: of the year. I think the President's right. I think
Speaker 1: he knows Biden's being propped up. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: The bus Essence Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts,
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Biden
Speaker 1: oakes person for the campaign who looks like Pajama Boy.
Speaker 1: So Pajama Boys got a new gig. His name is Ducklow,
Speaker 1: TJ Ducklow, and one thing's for sure after last night,
Speaker 1: we all know TJ knows how to ducklow the question wampwamp.
Speaker 1: But he appeared on TV and Bret Bear, who look
Speaker 1: the guys he's I'm sure he's ideologically a conservative, and
Speaker 1: I think he comes at news from a conservative perspective,
Speaker 1: but I also think he's he is fair to Democrat guests.
Speaker 1: He asks fair questions, he lets people talk, he lets
Speaker 1: them answer. So you know, if you're going to be
Speaker 1: a journalist who has a point of view, at least
Speaker 1: that Brett Bear rules you would think should apply. And
Speaker 1: this is how mister Ducklow was ducklow ing all the
Speaker 1: things asked of him. This is just one example of
Speaker 1: a play clip two end with this has Joe Biden
Speaker 1: ever used a teleprompter during local interviews or to answer
Speaker 1: Q and A with supporters? Brett, we are not going
Speaker 1: to get this is this is straight from the Trump campaign. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're using and what it does. And what it does
Speaker 1: Brett is it's trying to distract the American people just
Speaker 1: from they're using it, and they talk about it every day.
Speaker 1: Can you say yes or no? That's because they talk
Speaker 1: about it every day, Brett, because they don't have a
Speaker 1: coherent Well you try to answer yes or no, Brett.
Speaker 1: They talk about it every day because they don't have
Speaker 1: a coherent argument for why Donald Trump deserves reelection, deserves
Speaker 1: four more years. We know that he lied to the
Speaker 1: American people. We know that he has not shown leadership
Speaker 1: during this crisis, and they are desperate to throw anything
Speaker 1: they can against the wall to try to distract from
Speaker 1: that fact. I understand, but you can't answer the question, Brett.
Speaker 1: I am not going to allow Trump campaign to funnel
Speaker 1: their questions through Fox News and get me to respond
Speaker 1: to that. Well again, you respond to that, dude, it's
Speaker 1: not hard buck Sexton. Last night, are you robbing a bank?
Speaker 1: I refuse to answer your question about whether I was
Speaker 1: robbing a bank last Now you even to say, no, man,
Speaker 1: I was not robbing a bank last night. Now, I
Speaker 1: understand that you could say something like, well, Buck, what
Speaker 1: about you know, when did you stop beating your wife? Yeah,
Speaker 1: there are loaded questions that are meant to be in attack.
Speaker 1: But does Biden user prompter during local interviews? That's feasible,
Speaker 1: that's plausible? Is it yes or no question? Yes or
Speaker 1: no question? For he's not hard, but Biden's little buddy
Speaker 1: here not a strong showing. Also, I didn't know Michael
Speaker 1: Knowles had a twin brother. What's going on with that?
Speaker 1: I like Michael knows. I'm just saying he kind of
Speaker 1: looks like Michael knows a little bit. Michael knows way
Speaker 1: better looking, of course, way better looking, but anyway, and
Speaker 1: also is a patriot, loves America. We've had Michael on
Speaker 1: the show a bunch of times. Good dude, good dude.
Speaker 1: So Biden himself though, really not much better when he's
Speaker 1: having to answer a question. You know you're seeing something here.
Speaker 1: There's a Democrat approach to Trump where you can't say
Speaker 1: that Trump did anything right. You can give no credit.
Speaker 1: Here's an example during the Obama administration. When people would say,
Speaker 1: was that if someone had asked me or or a
Speaker 1: conservative I think in general conservatives, was it a good
Speaker 1: thing that Biden. I'm sorry that Obama gave the order
Speaker 1: to take out Osama. Bin Lad, Yes, you gotta say, yes,
Speaker 1: that was the right move. Okay, Obama? You know that's
Speaker 1: that's points on the board for Obama. Look, let's not
Speaker 1: pretend that things that are good are actually bad just
Speaker 1: because somebody who does a lot of things we don't
Speaker 1: like did it all right, So I think that's that's
Speaker 1: This is about having a principle. This is about calling
Speaker 1: things what they are. And then you have on the
Speaker 1: other side of this, you have Biden asked, for example,
Speaker 1: about trade. Now Trump came into office and we were told,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, he doesn't know anything about trade, he
Speaker 1: doesn't understand trade. And then everyone who did a little
Speaker 1: bit of reading on this found out, well, wait a second,
Speaker 1: NAPTA actually does need to be renegotiated. That should happen.
Speaker 1: Why hasn't that happened? And then Trump came along with
Speaker 1: the USMCA, which even Nancy Pelosi said was a good
Speaker 1: thing for the country. But when Biden's asked about it.
Speaker 1: Listen to the bar riah your room, just sort of
Speaker 1: mumbling stuff, and I know him trying to stay awaken.
Speaker 1: It's not easy, Blake clip one. Something else he did
Speaker 1: is he renegotiated NAFTA. He did. He renegotiated NAFTA. Now,
Speaker 1: when you ran for president and when Barack Obama ran
Speaker 1: for president, you both said you would renegotiate NAFTA. You didn't.
Speaker 1: He did. Nancy Pelosi said that the USMCA, which the
Speaker 1: President Trump signed into law, is a quote victory for
Speaker 1: America's workers. Does he deserve credit for that? No? I
Speaker 1: think you remember he didn't. He wasn't the one to
Speaker 1: push the particular one the past. The House amended the bill,
Speaker 1: amended the bill so he couldn't. Not always a big
Speaker 1: deal though. Here's what he amended. He was given Pharma
Speaker 1: a way out, giving him a gigantic break, just like
Speaker 1: he's doing now with Pharma. If you they're building plants
Speaker 1: overseas and any tax breaks for it, That's what it
Speaker 1: was about with him, and they said, no, no, we're
Speaker 1: not going to do that. We're not gonna be We
Speaker 1: negotiated NAFTA and you didn't. It's the point. I mean,
Speaker 1: because we had a Republican Congress who wouldn't go along
Speaker 1: with us for renegotiating it, doesn't he deserve some credit
Speaker 1: for that. It's better the USMCA is better than NAFTA.
Speaker 1: It is better than NAFTA. Fake tapper occasionally asks a
Speaker 1: real question that I don't know why, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: so much journalism. I mean, yeah, I ask a real question.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's true, this guy's still a jerk. Uh and
Speaker 1: and it's still a Democrat operative. But anyway, and notice
Speaker 1: it's not a tough question, it's an obvious question. But
Speaker 1: that for Biden is that's a huge change from what
Speaker 1: he normally gets. Here's the way, here's the way reporters
Speaker 1: think they are making sure this guy is ready, making
Speaker 1: sure he is battle tested to be the president of
Speaker 1: the United States at the young age of seventy eight.
Speaker 1: Here he's play four. Really, your strength is in traveling
Speaker 1: around the country and connecting with people. You can't do
Speaker 1: any of that right now, mister Vice president? Does does
Speaker 1: that worry you? Why about all of this? When you
Speaker 1: hear these remarks, suckers, losers, what does it tell you
Speaker 1: about President Trump's soul? What's your take on the Republican
Speaker 1: commit and so far? I think wearing a mask projects
Speaker 1: strength or weakness. You think the President of the United
Speaker 1: States is rooting for the violence because he thinks it
Speaker 1: helps him politically. You think he's actually rooting for violence.
Speaker 1: I wonder if you worry that this kind of language
Speaker 1: that comes from the President of the United States but
Speaker 1: deter some Americans who are tuning into him to not
Speaker 1: wear masks. How concerned are you that they're going to
Speaker 1: rush something out even before election day? Really hard hitting
Speaker 1: stuff there, right, really difficult. Oh my gosh, are you
Speaker 1: concerned that you're so much better than Trump? And like
Speaker 1: he's such an evil monster. I'm sure he is concerned
Speaker 1: about that, folks. Sure that keeps him up all the time.
Speaker 1: If this guy becomes president, it really does make a
Speaker 1: mockery of our whole system. It really does make a
Speaker 1: mockery of it all. It's amazing that here we are
Speaker 1: and this is the person that we have in charge. Oh.
Speaker 1: You know, you know what, Democrats don't care about you,
Speaker 1: you because right now they're blocking the COVID relief package
Speaker 1: that would be very substantial. The bill as it stands
Speaker 1: right now, the Republicans would pass three hundred dollar weekly
Speaker 1: unemployment subsidy, one hundred and five billion for schools, twenty
Speaker 1: billion for farmers, ten billion for the US Postal Service,
Speaker 1: ten billion for childcare assistants, forty seven billion for vaccines
Speaker 1: and testing, two hundred and fifty eight billion for the
Speaker 1: Paycheck Protection Program, which, as you know, helped small businesses out,
Speaker 1: gives them the forgivable loans to pay people that they
Speaker 1: can't keep on staff right now. And what do you
Speaker 1: hear from the Democrats over this? Nope, not enough, not enough, unacceptable.
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell understands what's going on here, Mitchell cocaine, Mitchaine,
Speaker 1: playing no games, play eleven. Well, the President supports while
Speaker 1: we're trying to do, he's behind us. He would like
Speaker 1: to tackle these challenges that are clearly necessary to be challenged,
Speaker 1: be tackled, and should be done on a bipartisan basis,
Speaker 1: and needs to be done right now. It makes you
Speaker 1: believe they really don't want to do another proposal. They
Speaker 1: want to wait till left the election and play games
Speaker 1: with this. What they passed in the House months ago
Speaker 1: is a three tray and dollar wish list of liberal
Speaker 1: items including tax cuts for rich people in New York
Speaker 1: and California. Really, that has nothing to do with COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1: Nothing to do with COVID nineteen has been the case
Speaker 1: with so many of these other games. The Democrats have
Speaker 1: played nothing to do with COVID nineteen, but they don't
Speaker 1: care that people are suffering and that bad things are
Speaker 1: happening for them. Oh, speaking of playing games, pretty smark.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was my smoothest transition. But
Speaker 1: did you watch into the NFL last night? Of course
Speaker 1: they did, so did you see any of the social
Speaker 1: justice shenanigans that I'm hearing about here? Because I did
Speaker 1: not watch it, I wouldn't call it all shenanigans. So
Speaker 1: I'll explain exactly what happened to you. The Texans didn't
Speaker 1: come out of the locker room until after the national anthem,
Speaker 1: their choice, so they didn't really do anything. The chiefs
Speaker 1: almost all stood. So this fifty three members of the
Speaker 1: roster one player decided to kneel, and then afterwards they
Speaker 1: decided to come together in the middle of the field.
Speaker 1: Is just do a moment of silence, lock arms in
Speaker 1: a moment of unity, is what they called it. And
Speaker 1: the fans booed. So that was interesting. I mean, you
Speaker 1: don't want them to kneel from the national anthem, they don't,
Speaker 1: and then you boo them. I thought that was a
Speaker 1: little bit poor taste. They're gonna use their platform to
Speaker 1: try and push the social justice thing no matter what
Speaker 1: you'd do. So if you don't want them to kneel, fine,
Speaker 1: they didn't kneel. One player did, but for the most
Speaker 1: part they didn't kneel. Why you booing them afterwards? I
Speaker 1: just think you can't have it both ways. You know
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it. You paid money to go see them,
Speaker 1: and then you pooh them when they did what you
Speaker 1: what exactly what you didn't want them to do. You
Speaker 1: didn't want them to kneel, they didn't kneel, and then
Speaker 1: you still boo them. I thought that was in port taste.
Speaker 1: So here we go. Daily Mail headline, NFL fans boo
Speaker 1: a moment of silence for BLM, the Houston Texans walk
Speaker 1: out during the anthem, and a Kansas City chief takes
Speaker 1: a knee in front of seventeen thousand supporters at the
Speaker 1: first game of the new seasons. Okay, so one Kansas
Speaker 1: City I think you actually got all that run down
Speaker 1: just from the top of your head. Very very impressive. Sir.
Speaker 1: One Kansas City chief took a knee the Texans. Will
Speaker 1: they walk out during the anthem? Does that mean so
Speaker 1: they went into locker room while the anthem was played
Speaker 1: and then came out. No, no no, no, I think they
Speaker 1: did their normal pregame warmups. I mean you usually both
Speaker 1: teams go back to the locker room and then come
Speaker 1: out right before the anthem. They did not come out
Speaker 1: until after the anthem. Okay, I mean people are still
Speaker 1: going to react to that as as being just you know,
Speaker 1: look where I think we're heading is they're just going
Speaker 1: to get rid of anthems at games because trying to
Speaker 1: tie patriotism into sports in this way, at least at
Speaker 1: the NFL and the NBA, there are people who are
Speaker 1: not going to take kindly to players who are multi
Speaker 1: millionaire celebrities, you know, multi millionaires in their twenties, mostly
Speaker 1: by the way, in twenties and thirties, taking kindly to them,
Speaker 1: thinking that the country needs to hear their social justice messaging.
Speaker 1: So I think we're just gonna ahead to They're gonna
Speaker 1: have to get rid of the anthem before the game
Speaker 1: in some of these places because otherwise, because even like
Speaker 1: what you're saying is true, they're they're changing it so
Speaker 1: that okay, well, we're not gonna kneelder the anthem, but
Speaker 1: we're gonna if you do anything during the anthem other
Speaker 1: than stand there and you know, put your hand over
Speaker 1: your heart. A lot of Americans are going to be
Speaker 1: upset about that. I don't think that's going to change.
Speaker 1: I think I don't mind this thing in the locker room.
Speaker 1: That's they're just kind of they're letting the anthem play
Speaker 1: and they're not putting any protests in the middle of
Speaker 1: the anthem. I'm okay with that, and I think everyone
Speaker 1: should be. They want to get their voices or let
Speaker 1: them and watch sports. We'll see if I think they
Speaker 1: what the ratings were, they were down like double digits,
Speaker 1: but not huge on the first night from what they
Speaker 1: would be. But it's COVID, it's weird. The world's crazy,
Speaker 1: So it wasn't that great of a game, to be honest. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: I try to watch the US Open tennis, and you
Speaker 1: know it's not the same without without fans in the stands.
Speaker 1: I gotta say, I never you know, you never thought
Speaker 1: you'd run this experiment in this way, But there's an
Speaker 1: energy that transfers even to your home viewing experience of
Speaker 1: having all those fans there. You know, it's not the same.
Speaker 1: It's just not the same. And it's weird actually having
Speaker 1: some fans socially distance in the stands, because now it
Speaker 1: looks like it almost feels like you're like a high
Speaker 1: school game, and like there's not that many people there.
Speaker 1: You know, I was surprised with how much noise they
Speaker 1: made in Kansas City with only like fifteen thousand people there,
Speaker 1: and that building could hold one hundred. I bet they were.
Speaker 1: Do you think they were doing some you know juice
Speaker 1: in the audio a little bit for the people at home.
Speaker 1: They say they weren't. They say they will in the
Speaker 1: like in New York, you're not allowed to have any fans,
Speaker 1: so they're gonna pump in crowd noise for that. They
Speaker 1: said they did not because there were fans there. Hmm.
Speaker 1: Very well. Thanks for listening to the Bus Show podcasts.
Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeart Radio app,
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Team Buck, It's time
Speaker 1: for roll call, all right, I have a couple of
Speaker 1: quick stories that I wanted to touch on because I
Speaker 1: mentioned them at the top of the show and I
Speaker 1: didn't get to them before. What is that Sweden? Before
Speaker 1: we get to roll call, Sweden has shown their model works.
Speaker 1: They're at basically the end of the pandemic in terms
Speaker 1: of infections, very very few infections, very very few deaths,
Speaker 1: and now they're they're doing better than all their neighbors,
Speaker 1: including Norway right now, and they never shut down. They
Speaker 1: The head of the Swedish Health Authority says that wearing
Speaker 1: masks is kind of a useless thing to do. Sweden's
Speaker 1: basically threw it and did better than a lot of countries.
Speaker 1: Are rent better than UK, Italy, Spain, no lockdowns, never lockdown.
Speaker 1: So someone needs to explain to me why lockdowns are
Speaker 1: so great or so useful, I should say, when Sweden
Speaker 1: never did it and got better outcomes than countries that
Speaker 1: did extreme, including Italy extreme lockdowns. Okay, so there's that.
Speaker 1: Because we used to talking about Sweden and there was
Speaker 1: this whole Sweden is running an experiment in mass death.
Speaker 1: Sweden is so much worse off these other countries. Nope,
Speaker 1: wasn't it wasn't true, and it were interested in the truth,
Speaker 1: then we should pay attention to what actually happened there
Speaker 1: and follow up on this. And then also Lulu Lemon,
Speaker 1: I just thought this was so funny. Lulu Lemon, I
Speaker 1: would say the snow Prints is a big fan of
Speaker 1: Lulu Lemon, and I'm a fan of her. In Lulu Lemon,
Speaker 1: I think the clothing looks looks very nice on ladies,
Speaker 1: So I'm not a Lulu Lemon hater. It's like a
Speaker 1: yoga activewear company. It's worth billions of dollars now, it's
Speaker 1: become a huge You know, if you're a mom in
Speaker 1: the suburbs that likes to do hot yoga, you probably
Speaker 1: go to the store wearing your Lula Lemon, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Producer Mark, do you own any Lulu Lemon?
Speaker 1: I do not, nor does my wife. I think. Have
Speaker 1: you ever done yoga? I actually have once in a
Speaker 1: class in college. I hated it. I was miserable. If
Speaker 1: if there was video, I would pay for this. Oh
Speaker 1: there probably is somewhere. I had friends, is it? You
Speaker 1: know that it wouldn't be just I've done yoga a
Speaker 1: couple of times too, and I'm It's just me the
Speaker 1: whole time, going, Oh it hurts, my back hurts, my
Speaker 1: neck hurts. You know, I'm not flexible, but Producer Mark,
Speaker 1: You're yoga would be would be good, good stuff, good times.
Speaker 1: But you know you gotta unleash your chi, man, you
Speaker 1: gotta center your chi. I'm good with where my chee
Speaker 1: is right now. My cheese is gonna be on the
Speaker 1: couch this weekend, eating some Chinese food, watching some Netflix.
Speaker 1: I'm watching the football on Sunday? Am I cheating anywhere else?
Speaker 1: Any good games on Sunday? I usually just put on
Speaker 1: red Zone. You're a red zone guy. My brothers are
Speaker 1: red zone. Love of my brothers. They love America, they
Speaker 1: love professional sports football. They're the normal sex. I'm honestly
Speaker 1: a little shot. You knew what red zone was? Oh, well,
Speaker 1: because of them. They're actually doing a virtual draft tonight
Speaker 1: for their fantasy league. They did it the day after
Speaker 1: the season started, or maybe it was last night they
Speaker 1: did it. No, I think they did it this this
Speaker 1: season open night, so then they already did whatever. I see.
Speaker 1: I don't even know, but I'm saying they did a
Speaker 1: virtual draft. I'm guessing you're not invited into the league. No, no,
Speaker 1: because I don't want If I can't get my top
Speaker 1: NFL picked on matting Lee, then I don't want any
Speaker 1: part of this. Oh my god, I know so Oh
Speaker 1: but Lulu Lemon, back to lu Lemon. They sell yoga
Speaker 1: pants for about some of you going to spit your
Speaker 1: coffee out. They sell yoga pants for about a hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty dollars one hundred and forty dollars a pair,
Speaker 1: But they want to teach class is online for Lula Lemon.
Speaker 1: You know, customers about how to resist capitalism. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: Sell your yoga pants for one hundred and twenty dollars,
Speaker 1: but hashtag resist capitalism, as if anybody didn't already need
Speaker 1: or as if anybody didn't already know that. So much
Speaker 1: of this pseudo Marxist claptrap crap is just about people
Speaker 1: feeling cool and hip and not thinking through any any
Speaker 1: of this at all. But I think yoga pants are
Speaker 1: a great innovation for lady. I think they're great, very
Speaker 1: comfortable and also, ladies, you're gonna hear this from me,
Speaker 1: and it's very important. Were comfortable shoes, don't I know?
Speaker 1: There's all this noise, there's all this social pressure out
Speaker 1: there to tell you. This is one of the few
Speaker 1: things I disagree with my main man, Jesse Kelly on
Speaker 1: because he's all, if you wear flats, you've given up.
Speaker 1: I think that's not true. We disagree on this. Heels
Speaker 1: for you know, for weddings, you know, special occasions, big
Speaker 1: party heels are for dress up in my opinion, for
Speaker 1: the late and now. Look, I don't wear heels. Truth,
Speaker 1: I do not fact check true. But I know what
Speaker 1: comfortable shoes are all about. I know that heels are
Speaker 1: not comfortable. High heels. I'm talking about high heels not
Speaker 1: comfortable and it drains your energy. You know. My parents
Speaker 1: have passed this on to me because they believe in
Speaker 1: comfortable footwear. If there's anything you can take from this show,
Speaker 1: if there's like one little oh no, two lessons from
Speaker 1: this show, never talk to the FBI and wear comfortable shoes.
Speaker 1: Those are important. That's worth listening to me three hours
Speaker 1: a day for the next ten years or for the
Speaker 1: past seven years. Whatever. That's worth it right there. If
Speaker 1: you take those two things from me and never start
Speaker 1: a land war in Asia. I think those are which
Speaker 1: I borrow from the Princess Bride I think is where
Speaker 1: that little quip comes from. But no, really, the comfortable
Speaker 1: shoe thing is very, very important, and so some of
Speaker 1: you have seen me even doing TV hits, I'll be
Speaker 1: wearing boat shoes, not a fashion stay minutes because of
Speaker 1: the most comfortable things I can wear. I just wear
Speaker 1: the most comfortable shoes I can. I'm telling you, you're saying, Buck,
Speaker 1: why are you going to rant about this? It will
Speaker 1: change your life. I know some of you guys like
Speaker 1: to wear those lace up You know, you look the
Speaker 1: dress shoes, they're all shiny, and you look all spiffy.
Speaker 1: Maybe for a job interview, wedding, funeral, whatever, not that
Speaker 1: anyone really, I guess you just wear black. I don't
Speaker 1: think it looks spiffy at a funeral. But that's I'm
Speaker 1: telling you where whatever is most comfortable on your feet
Speaker 1: that you can get away with without it being crocs,
Speaker 1: because that's not okay. There are limits. This is not
Speaker 1: non There are rules, all right, Josh. First up in
Speaker 1: roll call, and remember if you want to email us
Speaker 1: Team Buck at iHeartMedia dot com and Facebook dot com

Speaker 1: First up here, it was a Tom Hanks submarine movie
Speaker 1: released on Apple TV. It was terrible. I love all
Speaker 1: war movies, not this one. Really bad. Wow, Bruce and Mark,
Speaker 1: have you seen this one? I have not. I haven't
Speaker 1: gotten Apple TV yet on my TV. My TV's too old,
Speaker 1: so I guess I gotta get a new TV. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the submarine movie, you know, it's how can
Speaker 1: you make a bad submarine movie? That's what I don't understand.
Speaker 1: It's such an interesting you know, such an interesting one. Um.
Speaker 1: I'll have to see. I'll have to see, James. Oh wait, wait,
Speaker 1: but you're talking about war movies, Josh. My brothers. I
Speaker 1: was actually hanging out with my brothers last night, my
Speaker 1: two brothers. I'm very blessed. I have all three of
Speaker 1: my siblings here. My little sister is expecting a beautiful
Speaker 1: baby boy in the next four to six weeks, so
Speaker 1: she's ready to have the baby come out. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be yes, it is true. I'm gonna be Uncle Buck.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be real. Soon. I'm actually gonna be Uncle Buck,
Speaker 1: and I will be way cooler than the John Candy
Speaker 1: character who makes them like a garbage pancake or whatever.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that movie? Of course you kind of
Speaker 1: have the physique of Uncle Buck now too. That's cold,
Speaker 1: all right, It's one thing to call me fat thor
Speaker 1: it's another thing. You know, I have feelings too, Producer Mark,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start working. They opened the gym in my building.
Speaker 1: I'm actually going this weekend. I'm gonna do deadlifts and
Speaker 1: it's gonna be amazing because I'm gonna be deadlifting like
Speaker 1: thirty pounds, like oh my back hurts, Gonna take it slots.
Speaker 1: It would be like me and yoga class all over again.
Speaker 1: Just take it slow at first. That's what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do again too. Yeah. Otherwise I'm gonna be doing the
Speaker 1: radio show and like traction or whatever, I'm gonna have like,
Speaker 1: you know, a full body cast on what were you
Speaker 1: doing home? Man? I was trying to bench like forty
Speaker 1: pounds and I just threw out my shoulder. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. I will tell you there was a time.
Speaker 1: There was a time when the Buckster could throw around
Speaker 1: some pretty serious weight, and it wasn't that long ago.
Speaker 1: But now he just has carry it in some serious way,
Speaker 1: which is a different thing, all right, But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get back into it fighting shape. Gotta do it. How
Speaker 1: to do it? James? Oh, So I was telling about
Speaker 1: my brothers. I keep going to James. So my brothers asked,
Speaker 1: what about best movies. I actually think Hacksaw Ridge is
Speaker 1: one of the best movies of the last ten years,
Speaker 1: which is a war movie. And I think that maybe
Speaker 1: in part because I thought that it was going to
Speaker 1: be corny, and I didn't even think it didn't win
Speaker 1: me over until it got a little bit deeper into
Speaker 1: the movie, and then I was like, wow, I was wrong.
Speaker 1: This is actually a really good movie. And when you
Speaker 1: learn the true story about that guy and how why
Speaker 1: he got the Medal of Honor, it's amazing. It's amazing,
Speaker 1: unlike Midway, which was on last night. My brothers and
Speaker 1: are gonna watch it. And then it reminded me that
Speaker 1: I said that they took an incredibly important pivotal battle
Speaker 1: in history and made it meh. It's a meh movie.
Speaker 1: It's like a B minus C plus kind of a movie.
Speaker 1: Richard Jewell excellent speaking about not talking to the FBI.
Speaker 1: Watched that one on the plane. Richard Jewel excellent movie,
Speaker 1: highly highly recommend And it's a reminder of the FBI.
Speaker 1: I know there's some FBI agents to listen to this
Speaker 1: show and thank you for locking up you know, cartel
Speaker 1: members and child molesters and other important things. But when
Speaker 1: investigations get politicized and the political pressure, you know, the
Speaker 1: big FBI cannot be trusted. Can't trust him, can't trust him.
Speaker 1: Let me just look at Comey and struck in page
Speaker 1: and we've seen this now we Did I not talk
Speaker 1: today about the wiping of the phones? I just realized
Speaker 1: I didn't talk about the pruser mark. Did I talk
Speaker 1: about the phone wiping? I don't think so. Oh boy, well,
Speaker 1: let me do that right now. Sorry, we're gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna put a pause in the roll call. So here's
Speaker 1: what happened. Judicial Watch came out and said that they
Speaker 1: got a document that proved that I think it was
Speaker 1: twenty seven phones from the Muller investigation either lost, wiped, clean,
Speaker 1: or just destroyed beyond repair from people working on the
Speaker 1: Muller probe. Okay, and as we all, the Mueller was
Speaker 1: like a figurehead, wasn't even really running it. The guy
Speaker 1: had deteriorated. It's really gross what they did. It was
Speaker 1: like it was like elder abuse to pretend that guy
Speaker 1: was running the probe, just like it would be like
Speaker 1: elder abuse if Joe Biden were made president. But if
Speaker 1: you believe, if you believe that over two dozen highly
Speaker 1: trained federal investigators in the most politically sensitive investigation of
Speaker 1: our lifetime, if you believe it they acted dentally typed
Speaker 1: in the wrong code on their iPhone ten times, causing
Speaker 1: it to entirely wipe itself clean, you probably also believe
Speaker 1: that Jesse Smollett was attacked by MAGA hat wearers at
Speaker 1: one am on a freezing cold Chicago night and they
Speaker 1: just happened to have a noose handy. You know, if
Speaker 1: you believe one, you probably believe the other. And if
Speaker 1: you believe them both, you are a dumbass. Right, we
Speaker 1: know this. There is absolutely no way that those phones
Speaker 1: were wiped by accident, not plausible. It's not wiped, loss cracked.
Speaker 1: This was destroying comms after the fact. This is destruction
Speaker 1: of evidence in order to prevent the American people from
Speaker 1: seeing what kind of political targeting was really going on here,
Speaker 1: What was really happening as a result of all of this.
Speaker 1: Now we'll never know. Just like I've been telling you,
Speaker 1: don't expect anybody important to go to jail because the
Speaker 1: Durham probe, I was right about that. We're gonna, I mean,
Speaker 1: we don't know him right yet, but you're gonna eventually.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say to you, up, I told you, guys,
Speaker 1: the Durham Probe didn't didn't really do anything. And it's
Speaker 1: not the fault of Barr. It's not the fault of Durham.
Speaker 1: It's not even the DJ it's the system. Because as
Speaker 1: long as oh I didn't make that mistake on purpose
Speaker 1: for political reasons, I'm just the dumbest person on earth.
Speaker 1: As long as that's an excuse for any bureaucrat who
Speaker 1: works with the federal government, there will be no accountability.
Speaker 1: And trust me, my friends, that is the excuse they
Speaker 1: will continue to fall back on. You're in the freedom, Hud.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right, now
Speaker 1: back into the roll call James So Trump told Bob Woodward,
Speaker 1: a reporter, that COVID was bad, and Woodward, a reporter,
Speaker 1: hid the information instead of reporting it, perhaps letting thousands
Speaker 1: die so he could later use it to hurt Trump's reelection.
Speaker 1: Nice Shields, high Buck Protuy ser Mark. I think we
Speaker 1: actually have Trump agreeing with exactly that point from our
Speaker 1: friend Andy. Can we play that If Bob Woodward third
Speaker 1: what I said was bad, then he should have immediately
Speaker 1: right after I said it, gone out to the authorities
Speaker 1: so they can prepare and let him know. But he
Speaker 1: didn't think it was bad, and he said he didn't
Speaker 1: think it was bad. He actually said he didn't think
Speaker 1: it was bad. The only one that said it was
Speaker 1: bad or I think so it was bad were the
Speaker 1: fake news media because they take it and they try
Speaker 1: and put it in a certain way. If Bob Woodward
Speaker 1: thought it was bad, then he should have immediately gone
Speaker 1: out publicly, not wait four months. You know, he's had
Speaker 1: that statement for four months, maybe five months. He's had
Speaker 1: it for a long time. Why didn't he Why didn't
Speaker 1: he go forward and say that, well, because it wasn't
Speaker 1: really that terrible, Because it wasn't terrible at all because
Speaker 1: he understood at the time with the President said, but
Speaker 1: he also knew that he could use it to sell
Speaker 1: books later on and be a hero to the resistance,
Speaker 1: and that's what really mattered to him. Andy. Next up here, Buck,
Speaker 1: you and the wonderful Producer Mark need to leave NYC
Speaker 1: before the election. We don't want to worry about you
Speaker 1: all the day after each You're the best ever, even
Speaker 1: better than the great Rush. Well. Andy, that's very very
Speaker 1: kind of you, and we appreciate that. Don't worry about us.
Speaker 1: I'll Proucer Mark will keep me safe. You know. If
Speaker 1: the mob forms outside my building, Prucer Mark, I'll just
Speaker 1: put him on speaker phone on my phone and he
Speaker 1: will frighten them with his grouchiness and they will all
Speaker 1: run for cover. Yeah, that sounds like a great plan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like your superpower, you know what I mean. You're
Speaker 1: gonna tell them all. They tell them all that they're
Speaker 1: running late again and that they forgot about another client meeting,
Speaker 1: and they're all gonna be very upset and go away.
Speaker 1: If only life was so simple, Yeah, just saying Producer
Speaker 1: Mark's magic power. Next up here, Kristen, hearing you sing
Speaker 1: the Mentos jingle made me actually laugh. Thanks for the memories, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they used to have. Okay, producer Mark, what was your
Speaker 1: favorite commercial jingle from way back in the day do
Speaker 1: you remember? Do you remember one? Huh job of the
Speaker 1: head comes kick kat, I was gonna say, give me
Speaker 1: a break, give me a break. I think that may
Speaker 1: have been the most That thing burrowed deep into your brain,
Speaker 1: like you know one of those amiba that eats your brain.
Speaker 1: That's really scary, but you know what I mean, it
Speaker 1: is go way in there. What about the Bagel Bites commercial?
Speaker 1: What was that one? I don't remember it off the
Speaker 1: top of my head, Like I don't remember the words,
Speaker 1: but I remember kind of like the jingle. I can
Speaker 1: try to play it. Hold on, do you remember the
Speaker 1: dog that was like take a bite out of cry?
Speaker 1: Remember that guy that was the whole thing? I think
Speaker 1: that was a cartoon. Yeah, it was, Hey, take a
Speaker 1: bite out of crime, take a bite out of the
Speaker 1: buck sex and show everybody and share it with someone
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Pass the buck Spotify, I heart app,
Speaker 1: Apple Podcast. Share it with a friend this weekend. They'll
