Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck on Facebook,
Speaker 1: Instagram and Twitter. The peasants have grabbed the torches and
Speaker 1: the pitchforks, and they are going after those hedge fun
Speaker 1: fat cats. My oh my, this is quite a story, friends,
Speaker 1: even if you've never traded a share of stock in
Speaker 1: your life, even if you could care less about what
Speaker 1: the markets are doing, because in our increasingly online, digitized,
Speaker 1: and electronically controlled world, this is the first place we've
Speaker 1: seen a populist uprising against the extreme control that we
Speaker 1: have all been subjected to over the last year. It's
Speaker 1: existed before that, of course, but given the COVID lockdowns,
Speaker 1: this new Biden era, the authoritarian impulse from social media companies,
Speaker 1: online providers of all kinds of services, the Democrat Party,
Speaker 1: the new media, and now as we see the Wall
Speaker 1: Street barons, that has become too much for people to bear.
Speaker 1: So what's really happening here? As I speak to you?
Speaker 1: You have enormous moves in these stocks, billions and billions
Speaker 1: of dollars changing hands. And what's so interesting to so
Speaker 1: many people is that, all of a sudden, it's as
Speaker 1: though we were all sitting at a poker table and
Speaker 1: on the one side of the table, you have these
Speaker 1: hedge funds and they're already very rich. These people make
Speaker 1: a lot of money, they do very well. But it's
Speaker 1: never enough money. You see, once you make your first
Speaker 1: ten million, then you got to make fifty. Once you
Speaker 1: make fifty, you gotta make a hundred. But when you
Speaker 1: amass all that cash, what do you do with it? Well,
Speaker 1: you have to buy social credibility with it. So who
Speaker 1: do you donate to? What do you give money to? Well,
Speaker 1: for one, democrats, left wing causes, climate change, activist groups,
Speaker 1: right organizations that say they're about harmony and unity, but
Speaker 1: are about the suppression of free speech. You know, maybe
Speaker 1: you give some money to the ACLU, you give some
Speaker 1: money to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Whatever. That's when
Speaker 1: you become a super rich fat cat so you can
Speaker 1: drive around in your Maserati and go between your seven houses.
Speaker 1: You know, it's never enough either for the wife, the
Speaker 1: ex wives, the girlfriends, or the mistresses, and I mean
Speaker 1: all at the same time. So what do they do. Well,
Speaker 1: as you see, they try to get even bigger leverage going.
Speaker 1: They go all in to kill American companies or any
Speaker 1: company for that matter. As long as there's a profit,
Speaker 1: as long as they can find a way to manipulate
Speaker 1: the market to their advantage. When they have as they
Speaker 1: did here with game Stop, this video game company that
Speaker 1: is like the Blockbuster video of video games, when they
Speaker 1: decide that they're going to overshort it to the point
Speaker 1: where there are more people who have borrowed and then
Speaker 1: sold the stock then there are actual shares in existence.
Speaker 1: This is essentially market manipulation, and it means that this
Speaker 1: company is toast. It means Game Stop is done. But
Speaker 1: people realize there's another side to the trade. And these
Speaker 1: Reddit bros and these Wall Street chat rooms, not of
Speaker 1: actual Wall Street people, but of just everyday folks said,
Speaker 1: you know what, we're going to stick it to these
Speaker 1: hedge funds. And then you know what happened. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, as I said at that poker table, you
Speaker 1: have the Wall Street fatcats on the one side, and
Speaker 1: you have just people Robin Hood day traders. Although I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna get off robin Hood now and we'll
Speaker 1: get into that, go to other platforms. You got these
Speaker 1: day traders, and they're right on this one, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's like the casino boss has come
Speaker 1: over and is taking two aces out of the day
Speaker 1: traders hands and putting it in the hands of the
Speaker 1: hedge funds. Why because that's the order of things. That's
Speaker 1: how it's supposed to be. You see, I think we're
Speaker 1: all getting very tired of this. This is the most
Speaker 1: blatantly rigged financial game in the last decade. This is
Speaker 1: the worst financial rigging that we've seen since. Who got
Speaker 1: bailed out and who didn't during the financial collapse? Who
Speaker 1: had to pay a terrible price? You the American people,
Speaker 1: and who didn't Wall Street people who had spent years
Speaker 1: fattening themselves up with the reckless speculation on credit to
Speaker 1: false swaps and mortgage backed securities. But the government came
Speaker 1: in and bailed them out. The system came in and
Speaker 1: bailed them out under the pretense that they were bailing
Speaker 1: you out. And now there are hedge funds. There are
Speaker 1: places like Citadel which owns Robin Hood and Melvin Capital,
Speaker 1: and many many others who are losing billions and billions
Speaker 1: and billions of dollars. But remember, the money's not being
Speaker 1: lit on fire. The money is being transferred from one
Speaker 1: set of hands to another, and it's by the rules
Speaker 1: of the game, but it's not okay according to the elites,
Speaker 1: according to the people who make these decisions, this isn't
Speaker 1: supposed to happen. You're not supposed to be able to
Speaker 1: outthink multi billion dollar hedge funds. You listen to this
Speaker 1: right now, people, And by the way, please let me
Speaker 1: just as a disclaimer here, be very careful if you're
Speaker 1: in this game right now, because it is overheated and
Speaker 1: people are gonna lose lots of money. So I don't
Speaker 1: there's the there's the political populist angle to this, and
Speaker 1: then there's the actual financial realities of this for a
Speaker 1: lot of people. Please be cautious. Don't don't get into
Speaker 1: a game that you don't know the rules and you
Speaker 1: don't know what you're doing. And the way I always
Speaker 1: tell people this, and this has been told to me
Speaker 1: by folks with a whole lot more money than me
Speaker 1: and more financial know how. You never bet any money
Speaker 1: in the market, you know, you never place a bet
Speaker 1: in the market that you wouldn't place a bet, you know,
Speaker 1: at a racetrack and lose it and be okay, hey,
Speaker 1: no that's not a big deal. Okay, I lost it.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't ever take risks that you can't
Speaker 1: afford to take, very straightforward rule, don't do it, please,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, this really is very much right now.
Speaker 1: These markets are This is straight up gambling that is
Speaker 1: going on. It's not based on earnings. It's not based
Speaker 1: on getting new patents or getting FDA approved. I mean
Speaker 1: some of it, of course, but I'm talking about game
Speaker 1: stop at AMC and these things. But this is a
Speaker 1: revolt against the system and the financial elites that's happening
Speaker 1: from within this system, and that really terrifies the people
Speaker 1: in charge because the system is supposed to produce certain outcomes.
Speaker 1: They don't tell you that, but that's the truth. Because
Speaker 1: the people that are enforcing it, the sec the other
Speaker 1: you know, the government regulators, the federal law enforcement agencies,
Speaker 1: you name it, the actual platforms like robin hood that
Speaker 1: are owned by private companies. Facebook is shutting down speech
Speaker 1: about stock trading under basis robin Hood shut it down
Speaker 1: saying that it was because of like their ban on
Speaker 1: a hate speech or something. I guess if you're a
Speaker 1: hedge funder and you're losing billions of dollars and you're
Speaker 1: not going to be able to buy, you know, Muffy
Speaker 1: and Buffy a new yellow Range Rover for their sixteenth birthdays. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really sad for you, but this is the game, folks,
Speaker 1: This is how it goes. Like I said, never bet
Speaker 1: something you can't afford to lose, you don't do it.
Speaker 1: And that's true of hedge funds as well. The system
Speaker 1: is trying to set an example here though, by stepping
Speaker 1: in and saying it doesn't matter how brazen it is.
Speaker 1: You don't get to win. You stay home, mask up,
Speaker 1: shut down your business, and you don't get your government check,
Speaker 1: not on time. And the government owes you that money
Speaker 1: because they shut down your business. The government owes you
Speaker 1: that PPP because they're the reason, stupidly that the economy
Speaker 1: was the worst it was since nineteen forty six according
Speaker 1: the latest figures. Okay, we have the worst economy in
Speaker 1: you know, going on a hundred years last year of
Speaker 1: terms of GDP, in terms of GDP growth. Okay, this
Speaker 1: is it. It was an awful year and they made
Speaker 1: it so much worse. You stay home, you shut up,
Speaker 1: you do what you're told or else. Wait, but why where,
Speaker 1: where's the basis for this and how are we supposed
Speaker 1: to obey rules and systems when they'll change them the moment.
Speaker 1: It doesn't favor the people in charge. When we talk
Speaker 1: about a populist uprising, what we're saying is that people
Speaker 1: who do not yet have power see what the people
Speaker 1: in power are willing to do to keep it. And
Speaker 1: right now it is the democrats in power. But this
Speaker 1: is not entirely a democrat phenomenon, although it is largely
Speaker 1: a democrat status authoritarian phenomenon. But the people with so
Speaker 1: much want to prevent others from also getting theirs. And
Speaker 1: this is why you have for eggs. Example, the former
Speaker 1: head of the SEC the SEC the Securities in Exchange
Speaker 1: Commission is the regulatory body, and they can send people
Speaker 1: to prison, they can bring charges. Right the SEC is
Speaker 1: a serious organization, has federal law enforcement authority. The former
Speaker 1: head of the SEC started to compare people who are
Speaker 1: placing trades on an app and that are winning and
Speaker 1: making money and it is entirely legal, by the way,
Speaker 1: what they're doing. There's no real allegation of illegality out
Speaker 1: there about any of this, at least not yet. She
Speaker 1: compares it to the Capitol Hill riot play twenty. It
Speaker 1: really puts a lot of question about the integrity of
Speaker 1: the market, right, and it really kind of everybody's scratching
Speaker 1: their heads over this. What should happen, What is the
Speaker 1: right thing to do to control this or stop this?
Speaker 1: Not unlike what we saw in January sixth at the Capitol, right,
Speaker 1: if you don't have the police in at the right time,
Speaker 1: things go a little crazy. And that kind of feels
Speaker 1: like what's happening with this a much different, much lesser degree.
Speaker 1: It's financial harm, not personal bodily harm. But but certainly
Speaker 1: that's the same kind of you know, platform created frenzy
Speaker 1: that people are operating under. And these are these are
Speaker 1: very trying times. It's a very important a whole lot
Speaker 1: of differences. It's a it's an insane comparison. But if
Speaker 1: we're going to play this out a little bit, they're upset.
Speaker 1: The elites are upset because the people that are doing
Speaker 1: this to the hedge funds, they're winning. The hedge funds
Speaker 1: are losing the money in this case, and you're supposed
Speaker 1: to lose the money. The way the stock market has
Speaker 1: been set up in recent years, as there's greater democratization
Speaker 1: of information but also access and trading ability is that
Speaker 1: people realize, Hold on a second, these hedge funds, they
Speaker 1: they mass all this capital, they don't hedge hedging means
Speaker 1: that they're essentially balancing out their bet so that their
Speaker 1: downside is not that big. So it's supposed to be
Speaker 1: a risk management strategy, but hedge funds are They're a misnomer.
Speaker 1: That's not what they do. They go all in. They
Speaker 1: will cut a company, they will burn it their ground.
Speaker 1: I have friends, I know people who work at the
Speaker 1: biggest hedge funds in the world, and this is what
Speaker 1: ends up happening. Yeah, sometimes they provide necessary capital and
Speaker 1: lubrication for the market and whatever, but a lot of
Speaker 1: the time they're just going in for the kill. But
Speaker 1: the other side's not allowed to win, don't you see.
Speaker 1: That's what's the problem here. Everyone's acting like there's some
Speaker 1: big problem. What do we do about the markets? The
Speaker 1: former head of the SEC this is like the stock
Speaker 1: market equivalent of the former head of the FBI saying,
Speaker 1: this is like the Capitol Hill riot. What the Winklevoss Twins.
Speaker 1: You know about the the winkle Vy you know about them,
Speaker 1: probably because of their connection to Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook
Speaker 1: they were in the social network the played by one actor,
Speaker 1: the large blonde haired guy who rode Crew. I rode
Speaker 1: crew in college. But they also are big bitcoin and
Speaker 1: decentralized finance guys. Here's what they said on TV and
Speaker 1: notice CNBC the financial journal. Financial journals are are every
Speaker 1: bit as guilty of sucking up to power and being
Speaker 1: little frauds as political journals are. That's one thing you're
Speaker 1: seeing here. Here's what they said. Dwinklevoss on TV play
Speaker 1: twenty two. I think this is a much larger movement.
Speaker 1: I think it's a systemic issue, and I think that
Speaker 1: people need to fix it or it's going to get
Speaker 1: much much worse. I think this is a much larger
Speaker 1: issue in the thread of our country and its fragility
Speaker 1: and what's happening in the inequality, and frankly, the hypocrisy
Speaker 1: of the political leaders who say you can't open your
Speaker 1: business and run your business and make a living during
Speaker 1: the pandemic. We won't pass a stimulus bill in time,
Speaker 1: and oh, by the way, and now you can't trade.
Speaker 1: You know what's the next thing they're going to control
Speaker 1: and say you can't do and what it really does
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, who who is saying
Speaker 1: all of those things? That sounds like some attempt at
Speaker 1: whipping up something populous that that's not based in fact.
Speaker 1: Is there is there one person who is saying all
Speaker 1: of those things, No, jackass, There are a lot of
Speaker 1: people who are taking action based upon those things. Robin Hood,
Speaker 1: The app only allowed selling of a stock yesterday based
Speaker 1: on what well they wanted to be. They wanted to
Speaker 1: help drive the price down on GameStop so that the
Speaker 1: short sellers would stop getting squeezed. It was bailing out
Speaker 1: their buddies. Full on. Now this is again it's a
Speaker 1: privately owned app, but you are led to believe that
Speaker 1: this is this is a platform for buying things. Right.
Speaker 1: Imagine if you went on Amazon and you bought yourself,
Speaker 1: you know, a tennis racket and they said sorry, we're
Speaker 1: gonna send you some skis instead, say well, hold on
Speaker 1: a second, that's not right, that's not what I well,
Speaker 1: you know, Amazon's a private company. You see now that
Speaker 1: the left has seized the heights of our institutions and corporations.
Speaker 1: Now that they have control, they want absolute control. All
Speaker 1: the old arguments about hold on, there's a greater societal
Speaker 1: good here. Hold on, there's there's a culture or freedom
Speaker 1: and openness and free speech. That's all. That's all discarded
Speaker 1: by them. They could care less. This is all about
Speaker 1: naked power and a grab for even more money for
Speaker 1: people who have plenty of it, and it's playing out
Speaker 1: in full view of the whole country. Where's the Biden
Speaker 1: administration on this? Where's Joe Biden? I will say, there
Speaker 1: are some radicals on the left who just hate rich people,
Speaker 1: so they are of course jumping in on this one.
Speaker 1: But some of what they say on this is true.
Speaker 1: Some of what they say on this is reality. And
Speaker 1: even Ted Cruz agreed with AOC yesterday. She was vicious
Speaker 1: in response to him trying to reach a point of
Speaker 1: agreement on something. But even Ted Cruz is saying that
Speaker 1: this is amazing and wrong. What's going on here. You're
Speaker 1: supposed to stay home because Fauci says so, have your
Speaker 1: business shut down, Your bank accounts supposed to go to
Speaker 1: zero because you don't have the assets to sit there
Speaker 1: and just keep getting dividends, and the stock price rising
Speaker 1: and rising. The government's policy is inflating the assets of
Speaker 1: those who have assets. You're not even allowed to try
Speaker 1: to get ahead. You who work for a trucking company,
Speaker 1: who own a small business, who show up to a
Speaker 1: company that's been struggling and you've had to shut your
Speaker 1: doors for a while. You work in a restaurant, you
Speaker 1: work in a bar. You the American people are being told,
Speaker 1: shut up, stay home. We'll get you a tiny check
Speaker 1: at some point when we feel like it. While all
Speaker 1: of our buddies are getting uber eats delivered to them,
Speaker 1: sitting in their giant houses and apartments all across the
Speaker 1: urban centers of America and getting richer and richer and
Speaker 1: richer on this market. And you're not supposed to be
Speaker 1: having a piece of that, a little bit a taste,
Speaker 1: just to shut you up. You get to make six
Speaker 1: percent on your money if you're a good boy or girl,
Speaker 1: give you a little pat on the head. These hedge
Speaker 1: fund people, they want to make six hundred percent on
Speaker 1: their money in a month, in a day. That's what
Speaker 1: they get to have. You get your six percent. And
Speaker 1: if you try to stop the hedge funds, they're gonna
Speaker 1: come for that little six percent from youtub. Maybe they'll
Speaker 1: even throw you in jail. This is the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show Podcast. Join the conversation and message buck on Facebook,
Speaker 1: Instagram or email team Bucket, iHeartMedia dot com if he
Speaker 1: may read it on the show. The reason the market
Speaker 1: is doing what he's doing is people are singing at
Speaker 1: home getting the checks in the government. Okay. And this
Speaker 1: fish share is a big concept against just a way
Speaker 1: of attacking wealthy people. And you know, I think it's inappropriate.
Speaker 1: We all got to work together and pull together. We
Speaker 1: all got to work together and pull together. That's Leon Cooperman.
Speaker 1: For those who may not know that. If you're work
Speaker 1: on or near or know a lot of people on
Speaker 1: Wall Street, you know that guy is you know what
Speaker 1: he's worth? Three billion or so. This guy's a multi billionaire.
Speaker 1: Fair share is bleep. You heard what he said, We've
Speaker 1: got to come together. He's basically telling you it's might
Speaker 1: I get to sit at home in front of computer
Speaker 1: screens making millions and millions and millions of dollars of
Speaker 1: which I get to keep at least. If you're running
Speaker 1: a hedge fund, they call it two and twenty two
Speaker 1: percent management feed, twenty percent of the upside you get.
Speaker 1: So you make one hundred million dollars on a billion
Speaker 1: dollar fund, and guess what, You've had a pretty good year.
Speaker 1: Some people make a whole lot more than that. But
Speaker 1: he gets to do that. He gets to just watch
Speaker 1: as everything as the government policy inflates these asset prices,
Speaker 1: but more and more spending, more and more stimulus, and
Speaker 1: he gets richer and richer and richer. You're not allowed
Speaker 1: to try to flip the table. You stay home, get
Speaker 1: your government check, and you know, get some takeout food
Speaker 1: once a week, and shut your mouth. That's what Cooperman
Speaker 1: and the rest of the elite and the establishment want
Speaker 1: you to know. The Robin Hood bros Say, not so fast.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio act or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Open the damn schools everywhere,
Speaker 1: every city, every state, all across America. The data is in,
Speaker 1: It has been in for months. It is clear, it
Speaker 1: is unambiguous. Open the schools. Any public school that is
Speaker 1: still shut down is shut down because of the crappy
Speaker 1: decisions of selfish or cowardly adults. That's it. There is
Speaker 1: no good faith, science based argument to keep these schools closed.
Speaker 1: All this nonsense that you're hearing from people about how
Speaker 1: they need new ventilation systems and they need new ppe
Speaker 1: and we have to test kids three times a day
Speaker 1: every day. We're gonna keep testing and testing and testing.
Speaker 1: This is anxiety even lunacy and children are suffering. Children
Speaker 1: are depressed. Children's brain chemistry is being affected by this.
Speaker 1: Children are committing suicide over this. Enough is enough, and
Speaker 1: the lazy asses in the teachers unions need a real
Speaker 1: kick in the butt. This is crazy what they're doing
Speaker 1: to kids across the country. This is wrong, what they're
Speaker 1: doing to families, adults and parents who can actually do
Speaker 1: their normal jobs who have to handle now working perhaps
Speaker 1: working remotelyal though maybe they're essential workers too, but you know,
Speaker 1: actual essential workers who have to show up. And this
Speaker 1: is so devastating the fact that we're even having this
Speaker 1: conversation shows how crazy it's gotten. There's this father in Virginia.
Speaker 1: I know this has gone viral, and I almost want
Speaker 1: to play this. Every day he goes up to a
Speaker 1: school board meeting and sometimes, and you know, an everyday person,
Speaker 1: just just somebody, just one of our fellow Americans, stands
Speaker 1: up at a podium somewhere and you feel it right away,
Speaker 1: speaks for all of us who are saying speaks for
Speaker 1: those of us who see things for what they are.
Speaker 1: And let's sit rip and here's this father of a
Speaker 1: school school aged child in Virginia who's talking at this
Speaker 1: school board meeting. And just the sense of gratification and
Speaker 1: the sense of a moment of peace that you get
Speaker 1: after listening to this, because finally someone is saying it.
Speaker 1: I wanted you to have that. Here you go play eighteen.
Speaker 1: You should all be fired from your day jobs because
Speaker 1: if your employers knew that you were more inefficient than
Speaker 1: the DMV, you would be replacing the heartbeat. I literally
Speaker 1: just finished a conference call because I'm having a multitask
Speaker 1: to be here to address you. Guys. You're a bunch
Speaker 1: of cowards hiding behind our children as an excuse for
Speaker 1: keeping schools closed. You think you are some sort of
Speaker 1: martyrs because of the decisions you're making when the statistics
Speaker 1: do not lie that the vast majority of the population
Speaker 1: is not at risk from this virus. The garbage workers
Speaker 1: who pick up my freaking trash risk their lives every
Speaker 1: day more than anyone in this school system. Figure it out,
Speaker 1: or get off the podium, because you know what they're
Speaker 1: people like me and a line of other people out
Speaker 1: there who will gladly take your seat and figure it out.
Speaker 1: It's not a high bar. Raise the freaking bar. Open
Speaker 1: the schools. He's yelling, open all the schools. Why why
Speaker 1: is it that, as I've been saying to you, you
Speaker 1: have people who are working in drug stores and grocery stores,
Speaker 1: and mail carriers and truckers and just all kinds of folks.
Speaker 1: People working in for utility companies and the cable guys
Speaker 1: and gals. I mean, you name it. People are still
Speaker 1: doing their jobs. I go into a TV studio every day. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm essential, but I just people are
Speaker 1: still doing their jobs. Teachers can't do their jobs. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's so scary. It's not so scary. Stop being whimps.
Speaker 1: If you are of an age which how many teachers
Speaker 1: in the public school system are over sixty? There are some,
Speaker 1: there are very few. If you are of an age
Speaker 1: where you are at risk, Okay, fine, the datas the
Speaker 1: data suggests that even though children are very unlikely to
Speaker 1: spread it to you, which people keep leaving out of
Speaker 1: this They go, oh, it's not about the kids as much.
Speaker 1: It's about the teachers of the people around them children,
Speaker 1: and this gives you, this is always a reminder. Two.
Speaker 1: They don't even really understand why. It's probably because a
Speaker 1: child's immune system is sensitive enough, strong enough, and resilient
Speaker 1: enough that it deals with the virus very quickly, and
Speaker 1: therefore there's not the same time frame, the same incubation
Speaker 1: period where it would be transmissible to other people. That's
Speaker 1: a theory I'm just saying. But that's that's one theory
Speaker 1: that I've read, because children don't seem to give this
Speaker 1: easily at all to adults. It's not like if you're
Speaker 1: with you know, if you're with your your sick roommate
Speaker 1: and you and you're coughing all over the place and
Speaker 1: you've got COVID, very good chance indoors, long duration, there's
Speaker 1: going to be a transmission. With children, it just doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to happen at nearly the same the same rate.
Speaker 1: But if you're of the age, fine, if you're of
Speaker 1: the age where you are at risk. They're twenty five
Speaker 1: year olds waiting in line here in New York to
Speaker 1: get vaccines. My seventy four year old father still hasn't
Speaker 1: been able. He's trying every day. Still hasn't been able
Speaker 1: to get a vaccine in New York City. Still can't
Speaker 1: do it. And I've got I've got siblings who are
Speaker 1: very we're all very plugged in. We're all very Internet savvy,
Speaker 1: and we're looking all over and trying to find you know,
Speaker 1: because it keeps saying check back, check back, come back.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what the website's telling you all
Speaker 1: the time. So we're all trying to make this happen.
Speaker 1: We're doing everything that we can, and yet here we are, here,
Speaker 1: we are still can't get that. But twenty five year
Speaker 1: olds are getting the vaccine because they work for the
Speaker 1: teachers Union. You see, this is a disgrace, and it's
Speaker 1: a disgrace that the Biden administration isn't calling this out
Speaker 1: right away, isn't backing up parents across America. This needs
Speaker 1: to end. We've run the experiment and the lockdowners have
Speaker 1: been wrong. They have been wrong. You need to understand that.
Speaker 1: They'll never admit it because, oh my god, what a
Speaker 1: horrible thing to get wrong. Right. If you want to
Speaker 1: know what the alternative was, I mean Florida. I worry
Speaker 1: that Florida is going to you know, sync into the
Speaker 1: ocean if this keeps going. And I'm kidding, I know,
Speaker 1: I'm not making the I'm making a reference to that
Speaker 1: guy who thought Guama is going to tip over, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, Florida is just everybody I know. I'm going down.
Speaker 1: They're spending more time there. You know. I love our WFLA,
Speaker 1: WIO D stations down there, and it already feels like
Speaker 1: home to me. Florida is putting on a clinic of
Speaker 1: governance to show the rest of the country what sanity
Speaker 1: looks like. It's not perfect. They're still COVID. There's still
Speaker 1: people that are going to die at COVID's there's no
Speaker 1: question about that. But that's true everywhere. But in Florida
Speaker 1: there's some sanity, there's some semblance of normalcy and intelligent
Speaker 1: approach to this. In New York, they're out of their minds,
Speaker 1: out of their minds, California crazy. The people in charge
Speaker 1: are imbeciles, and they've been wrong at every step of
Speaker 1: this's we're talking about the economy, talking about COVID. Here's
Speaker 1: Governor Ron Desantist play four. I think we've done a
Speaker 1: couple of things. One, we focus protection on elderly people
Speaker 1: rather than trying to shut the entire society down. So
Speaker 1: at the front end of the pandemic, I barred hospitals
Speaker 1: from discharging COVID patients back into nursing homes. That was
Speaker 1: able to save a lot of lives on the front
Speaker 1: end and now here on hopefully the back end of
Speaker 1: the pandemic. Our approach to vaccination is putting years first.
Speaker 1: We're focusing on our sixty five and up population. We've
Speaker 1: reported over one point one million seniors that have gotten
Speaker 1: a shot in the state of Florida. It's almost twenty
Speaker 1: five percent of our enormous four point five million senior population,
Speaker 1: and so we think that that's really important. That's where
Speaker 1: the most risk is. We also, though understood, we have
Speaker 1: to have schools open, so every parent in Florida has
Speaker 1: a right to send their kid to in person instruction, private, charter, public,
Speaker 1: you name it. And we also say everybody has a
Speaker 1: right to work. So government, local government can't shut you down.
Speaker 1: They can't prevent you from earning a living, they can't
Speaker 1: prevent businesses from operating. And the result has been for example,
Speaker 1: in the month of December, our revenue to the state
Speaker 1: of Florida, and we have very low tax rates. Was
Speaker 1: up three hundred and thirty million dollars over the estimated revenue.
Speaker 1: Anybody want to still make the argument that Cromo and
Speaker 1: Newsome and wid Moro the heroes of the pendemic, Only
Speaker 1: a moron could make that case. Today, Descantis has taken
Speaker 1: all the slings and arrows, He's taken all the heat.
Speaker 1: I think Rhondes Santist should run for president. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say it right now. Showing results, you know, and
Speaker 1: if you if you want Trump to run again, well
Speaker 1: then Desantists, you know, should be his VP, or maybe
Speaker 1: you know, Trump could be Desantist's VPL. They don't think
Speaker 1: you'd ever take the number two slot of anything. But
Speaker 1: he is showing results at a time when there's been
Speaker 1: so much pressure. Even the governor of Texas, even the
Speaker 1: governor of Texas bending the knee a little too much
Speaker 1: on this stuff, has not been willing to hold the line.
Speaker 1: Even the governor of Texas very disappointing. And in Colorado,
Speaker 1: I love my team Buck Coloradins, but here Governor, my god, right,
Speaker 1: and this is look at all the shutdowns in Denver.
Speaker 1: Here we are up three hundred and thirty million dollars
Speaker 1: in revenue in Florida. They're making money. You know why,
Speaker 1: because people are allowed to live their lives. Imagine if
Speaker 1: the Florida effect was allowed to grow and exist around
Speaker 1: the rest of the country. Imagine if the effect of
Speaker 1: this was that people would people would look at this
Speaker 1: as an experiment. They'd say, Wow, Florida's actually done the
Speaker 1: right thing. We should emulate them. No, Instead, the quizzlings
Speaker 1: of the corporate media, CNN, the New York Times have
Speaker 1: just been just trashing de Santists. Oh, people are dying
Speaker 1: because I can't tell you how many people come at
Speaker 1: me on social media, all these idiot libs bit to Santists.
Speaker 1: Look at this number, look at that number, or like,
Speaker 1: you know, per capita, California is a little bit better,
Speaker 1: and I'm a little bit better in terms of mortality
Speaker 1: on a per capita basis. They've they've ruined people, They've
Speaker 1: ruined millions of people's lives and businesses, and you think
Speaker 1: they might be a tiny bit better. Florida is open
Speaker 1: for business. How could you even compare these things? New
Speaker 1: York is fine only realizing we're not going to have
Speaker 1: a state left unless we stop this nonsense, So they're
Speaker 1: beginning to edge towards sanity. I've been right. You've been right,
Speaker 1: those of you who listen to me. If you really
Speaker 1: thought I was wrong about this, you wouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to listen to this show for the last year. Right
Speaker 1: after Why you'd say Buck Buck has lost it. Man,
Speaker 1: he doesn't get it. We got we gotta trust Fauci,
Speaker 1: We gotta trust doctor Fouch. You know, you know Buck's
Speaker 1: a good guy, and I've listened him for years, but man,
Speaker 1: he's he's way off on the mask mandates and on lockdowns.
Speaker 1: These are really saving us. Man, if you believe that,
Speaker 1: I don't think you'd be able to at least I
Speaker 1: have to take a break from listening. So, every person
Speaker 1: who listens to this, you've been voting for what I've
Speaker 1: been saying by giving me your time, by lending me
Speaker 1: your ears. And we have been right. They have been wrong.
Speaker 1: Take a moment. Let that let that all seep in,
Speaker 1: Let that all just who wash over you for a second,
Speaker 1: all those smug blue check mds and excuse me, I
Speaker 1: have an MDPA, d M A B A B S
Speaker 1: in everything about all the disease stuff, and like you
Speaker 1: got to wear seven masks. No, those people were wrong too.
Speaker 1: By the way, here's one of Biden's top coronavirus advisors,
Speaker 1: this Austerholme guy who here's his take on Fauci and
Speaker 1: double masking play eight. Well, first of all, let me
Speaker 1: just say that we should have had efforts a long
Speaker 1: time ago to provide really the highly efficient and effective
Speaker 1: kinds of respiratory protection, namely these N ninety five mask
Speaker 1: or respirators, and it's unfortunate that we still need to
Speaker 1: reserve these for our healthcare workers. And that's a huge
Speaker 1: challenge in terms of using the face cloth coverings doubling them. Actually,
Speaker 1: we need to be very careful about that. That may
Speaker 1: actually be counterproductive, not helpful. We know, and I'm not
Speaker 1: an aerobiologist, but we know that in fact they may
Speaker 1: actually impede the movement of air in and causing it
Speaker 1: to actually escape in the big crevices between the cloth
Speaker 1: and your face. That's a bigger problem, not a lesser
Speaker 1: problem than one. Oh man to two big things here,
Speaker 1: One of them is you've heard me say it, they're
Speaker 1: gonna tell you. And ninety five masks, the cloth masks
Speaker 1: that we have been cling we've been told to cling
Speaker 1: to them for our salvation. Your freedom depends upon the
Speaker 1: cloth mask and it does. Did that work? I don't
Speaker 1: think I can a band yet for asking questions. Did
Speaker 1: it work as a policy? Did it work not? Theoretically
Speaker 1: in a clinical environment of a test? Could it possibly
Speaker 1: help in some cases? In some instance, I'm saying as
Speaker 1: a policy of everybody has to do this thing to
Speaker 1: deal with this pandemic? Has it worked? I'm not even
Speaker 1: gonna answer, because you know the answer. If it worked,
Speaker 1: why are they telling us double mask And now you
Speaker 1: have a guy who's also supposed to be so esteemed,
Speaker 1: with all of his credentials, saying double masking might actually
Speaker 1: be counterproductive. But wait a second, doctor Fouch, he told
Speaker 1: us that double masking was, of course more more effective.
Speaker 1: You mean there are still questions about this. I thought
Speaker 1: the science was settled, was settled on this. You realize
Speaker 1: that there's no one out there who would be able
Speaker 1: to debate someone like me on this and not be
Speaker 1: made to look like a total jackass. Which is why
Speaker 1: they're so nasty about all this all the time. That's
Speaker 1: why they just yell at you, That's why they ban you,
Speaker 1: that's why they kick you off the social media platforms,
Speaker 1: they threaten you, they threaten you personally. How dare you
Speaker 1: cross Saint Fouch? Because you see, it's all a narrative
Speaker 1: of control and a narrative of self righteousness. That's really
Speaker 1: what this has been about. I've been telling you four months,
Speaker 1: and you know it. They're gonna say double mask, They're
Speaker 1: gonna say, it's really all about the N ninety five mask. Now,
Speaker 1: the N ninety five ask scientifically is clearly more effective
Speaker 1: than a cloth mask. And we've known that all along.
Speaker 1: But then, why have not they Why have they not
Speaker 1: been encouraging people to wear those ninety five masks? Now
Speaker 1: they're gonna go with, oh, there'd be a shortage. Really,
Speaker 1: was there a shortage of masks ever during this pandemic? No?
Speaker 1: Were the hospitals overrun and unable to give care in
Speaker 1: this country ever during this pandemic? No, But they keep
Speaker 1: saying it. They hope that you don't pay attention. They
Speaker 1: hope that you don't listen to shows like this where
Speaker 1: I don't care how much they yell at be, I
Speaker 1: don't care how how vicious and vitriolic they get. I've
Speaker 1: been right, You've been right, they've been wrong. You're listening
Speaker 1: to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe
Speaker 1: to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. He's already committed the US to
Speaker 1: re enter the Paris Climate Agreement, and he committed us
Speaker 1: as well to start undoing the assault on our environment
Speaker 1: that has occurred over the past four years. And he
Speaker 1: is now taking additional action to really target the challenge
Speaker 1: of climate change. We're still in a pandemic, still undergoing
Speaker 1: lockdowns in many places across the country, and we're supposed
Speaker 1: to believe that now is the time to focus on
Speaker 1: the existential threat of climate change. This is all you
Speaker 1: need to know to understand the degree of lunacy from
Speaker 1: the Bind administration that is on display right now. They
Speaker 1: need to fix what matters, not fix on some not
Speaker 1: fixate on some absurdity, which is what this existential threat
Speaker 1: of climate change stuff is. You know it, and I
Speaker 1: know it. This is who we're dealing with now, exactly
Speaker 1: as we expected. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Listen to the
Speaker 1: people in charge now, that's what they want you to do.
Speaker 1: As Joe Biden says, the patriotic duty. You gotta listen
Speaker 1: to people making the rules. No joke. But just remember
Speaker 1: that people like Janet Yellen are out there making important
Speaker 1: decisions right now about your future. And and you know,
Speaker 1: she's the former chair of the Federal Reserve and she
Speaker 1: has a lot of influence in this Biden administration. She's
Speaker 1: now the Secretary of the Treasury, which really matters a
Speaker 1: whole lot. And you are not supposed to pay any
Speaker 1: attention to the fact that, well, here you go, here's
Speaker 1: here's White House Press secretary. Sucky to me play fourteen.
Speaker 1: You didn't mention. I believe yesterday that the Treasury Secretary
Speaker 1: is monitoring the situation and she's kind of on top
Speaker 1: of it. There have been some kind of concerns about
Speaker 1: her peggy engagements with Citadel and speaking fees that she
Speaker 1: has received from Citadel. Are there any plans to have
Speaker 1: her recuse herself from advising the president on the game
Speaker 1: stop and the whole robin Hood situation. Well, just to
Speaker 1: be clear, what I said was that we have the
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary is now confirmed. Obviously, we have a broad
Speaker 1: economic team. The SEC put out a statement yesterday that
Speaker 1: I referred to. But I don't think I have anything
Speaker 1: more for you on it other than to say, separate
Speaker 1: from the GameStop issue. The Secretary of Treasury is one
Speaker 1: of the world renowned experts on markets, on the economy,
Speaker 1: which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. She was paid
Speaker 1: to give her perspective and advice before she came into office.
Speaker 1: So the Treasury Secretary, I want to be very clear,
Speaker 1: the Treasury Secretary gets paid eight hundred thousand dollars for speeches. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's a good, good gig if you can get it
Speaker 1: from the company that owns robin Hood, the trading platform
Speaker 1: that has decided to bail out the hedge funders by
Speaker 1: screwing over the individual main street investors. And we should
Speaker 1: think that she's completely impartial in this whole process. We
Speaker 1: are to believe that she can be entirely trusted. You know,
Speaker 1: it's even more than the money. This revolving door between
Speaker 1: big financial institution and the Treasury, and big financial institution
Speaker 1: and the Treasury is a problem. This is a conflict
Speaker 1: of interest. If this were happening in other realms, you
Speaker 1: would think, oh my gosh, you can't this person can't
Speaker 1: to be involved in government decision making. It's going to
Speaker 1: affect not just their future earning prospects at these different institutions,
Speaker 1: but also that are going to negatively affect their buddies.
Speaker 1: You know, social connection matters a whole heck of a
Speaker 1: lot of the financial world. You don't think that the
Speaker 1: head of the CEO of Citadel can get Janet Yellow
Speaker 1: on the phone. Hey, just just keep it quiet on
Speaker 1: the whole robin Hood shutdown thing. You know we're gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna need your support on this one. Got some
Speaker 1: very good speeches lined up for you after you know,
Speaker 1: your two or three years his Treasury secretary. Maybe we'll
Speaker 1: make it a million dollars a speech. Now. You don't
Speaker 1: think you don't think it has an influence? Oh no, sure, okay,
Speaker 1: even more. Maybe he just calls reper says, hey, Janet,
Speaker 1: we're buddies, We're friends. Don't don't use any of that
Speaker 1: sway you have in the government conversation right now to
Speaker 1: come down on us, because come on, we're pals. You
Speaker 1: don't think those phone calls are happening. The American people
Speaker 1: are seeing how this system really works. They're seeing this
Speaker 1: swamp strikes back. That's what this is. This swamp is
Speaker 1: back in charge. There. They're they're flooding Main Street. There
Speaker 1: are gators going around looking to eat whatever they can.
Speaker 1: That's what's going on. And the people that promis you
Speaker 1: that they would protect you are the ones that are
Speaker 1: actually the alligators, the Democrats. And then that brings me
Speaker 1: to the absurdity of the focus right now on climate.
Speaker 1: Do you know on all of the lists of policy
Speaker 1: ideas and concerns, climate change is barely in the top
Speaker 1: twenty most of the time. I mean, you know, it's
Speaker 1: below the economy and healthcare and immigration, or national security
Speaker 1: and trade and employment, and you got like climate change is,
Speaker 1: you know, way way down the list. And Democrats are
Speaker 1: completely fixated on it right now. Why because this is
Speaker 1: where they can they can have the most radical impact
Speaker 1: in the shortest time, and they need to do it
Speaker 1: before we figure out what's really going on. They need
Speaker 1: to do it before people wake up and say, hold on,
Speaker 1: Biden is a trojan horse for the other side. He's
Speaker 1: not some moderate who's going to be, you know, helping
Speaker 1: us out and making sure that Main Street can pay
Speaker 1: their bills. No, that was all a fraud. The Biden
Speaker 1: campaign was a fraud. We should all keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: We're not getting what was promised here, and I mean
Speaker 1: the American people are not getting what was promised and
Speaker 1: they never will. The Democrats run candidates saying one thing
Speaker 1: with the expectation from the base, from the activists and
Speaker 1: from the elites that they're all going to get there
Speaker 1: is they're all going to get something else from this candidate.
Speaker 1: This is the game they play, this is how they
Speaker 1: run it. AOC who is I don't find many politicians frightening,
Speaker 1: not only personally, but I mean their ideas. I'm not
Speaker 1: frightened by that many politicians ideas, but AOC is actually
Speaker 1: she is both so influential and so ignorant at the
Speaker 1: same time that it is unsettling. It goes beyond the
Speaker 1: normal stuff we see like Nancy Pelosi. Yeah, she's a Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's she's cunning, she's ruthless, she's a liar um and
Speaker 1: she's not in any way an intellectual or bright. But
Speaker 1: she knows what she's got to do. But she wants
Speaker 1: to keep a system as it is. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: she doesn't want things to get so rough that the
Speaker 1: servants can't get to her mansion and you know, and
Speaker 1: bring her her shardonnay. So she is she's she's Uh,
Speaker 1: there are limitations on her crazy. Beck is the nicest
Speaker 1: teak Beck has ever said about me. Yeah, there are
Speaker 1: limitations on her crazy. There are no limitations on AOC's crazy.
Speaker 1: She would be willing to plunge the country into a
Speaker 1: massive economic depression if she believed that it served the
Speaker 1: interests of social justice. That's really disconcerting. That's really challenging. Um,
Speaker 1: because she's also listened to by so many people I
Speaker 1: see sometimes they'll do these live streams and a clip
Speaker 1: up year in my feed because AOC will say something
Speaker 1: so crazy, and I'll see all these young people who
Speaker 1: are just you know, yeah, you're our champion and you're
Speaker 1: our future and everything, and I just, oh, my gosh.
Speaker 1: You know, I try not to be the guy who says, Look,
Speaker 1: there are dumb Republicans, there are dumb Democrats. You know.
Speaker 1: There are smart people that I really disagree with and
Speaker 1: think are bad on policy, but I recognize that they're smart.
Speaker 1: And AOC I don't. I don't like to run around
Speaker 1: and just call people stupid. But she's she is very dumb.
Speaker 1: And she is also very powerful, and that's a that's
Speaker 1: a dangerous combination for somebody who is in government and
Speaker 1: has so much sway over the conversation, and she likes
Speaker 1: what Biden is doing. So let me all say, Biden
Speaker 1: is dumb. Oh maybe as dumb as AOC. I mean,
Speaker 1: Briden's a pretty ignorant dumbass. But Biden is supposed to
Speaker 1: be more of a moderate. And yet AOC likes what
Speaker 1: she's seeing from this Biden administration so far. That should
Speaker 1: be a red flag friends, Plate twelve. Now, I'm feeling
Speaker 1: extraordinarily encouraged, and I think that the significance of President
Speaker 1: Biden's executive orders communicates a lot. One is that it
Speaker 1: really communicates that he meant what he said on the
Speaker 1: campaign trail, that he would make climate change a central
Speaker 1: priority of his administration, and that he considers it not
Speaker 1: just a national security threat but frankly, you know, the
Speaker 1: global matter that it is. But it also really significant.
Speaker 1: It also really signifies a good faith openness and relationship
Speaker 1: to those activist communities that you had mentioned, these grassroots
Speaker 1: communities and organizations on the ground, workers, etc. Scientists saying
Speaker 1: we are not going to be resistant to grassroots movements.
Speaker 1: But we are going to elaborate and work with grassroots
Speaker 1: movements all across the United States to make sure that
Speaker 1: we are creating as many jobs and as much justice
Speaker 1: as possible as we fight to save our planet. Justice
Speaker 1: is the single most abused and misused word by the left.
Speaker 1: Don't ever forget it. But the fact that she is
Speaker 1: pleased so far with what the Biden administration is doing
Speaker 1: should let you know exactly where all of this is heading.
Speaker 1: The fact that she's so happy with what she's seeing
Speaker 1: is a reminder that, as I've been telling you, the
Speaker 1: presidency that we've seen so far with Joe Biden is
Speaker 1: not all that different from what you would see at
Speaker 1: this stage from a president Bernie Sanders. Okay, there are
Speaker 1: may be a few things, but on the major issues
Speaker 1: on climate, actually, Bernie Sanders might be a little bit
Speaker 1: better than Biden. And I mean by better, I mean
Speaker 1: less insane on trade and immigration. Believe it or not,
Speaker 1: remember there was some crossover between Trump and Bernie on
Speaker 1: trade and immigration issues back in the day. So on
Speaker 1: that Biden is takes more of the elitist left position,
Speaker 1: Bernie has more of the populist worker position on immigration
Speaker 1: and trade. So when you have aoc praising Biden's environmental policies,
Speaker 1: this is the woman behind. We need to get rid
Speaker 1: of cow farts and rebuild all the buildings and I
Speaker 1: mean all of them in America so that they're green friendly.
Speaker 1: Remember the Green New Deal, it was put out, her
Speaker 1: office put that out. This is the woman behind it,
Speaker 1: and she's pleased with what she's seeing so far. That
Speaker 1: should make you very very uneasy. It certainly does for me.
Speaker 1: We're going to be in for quite a ride here.
Speaker 1: We need to pay very close attention to what they're
Speaker 1: actually doing and what their plans are going forward, because
Speaker 1: you know the media is going to be doing nothing
Speaker 1: but running for them. And you can see all all
Speaker 1: the wackiest loons out there in the climate change movement.
Speaker 1: This is their moment right now while people are downtrodden,
Speaker 1: need help, need checks, need the government to step in
Speaker 1: and assist. What we're seeing is that climate change stuff
Speaker 1: is being rammed through simultaneously. So those of us who
Speaker 1: are on the one end, we're focused on what the
Speaker 1: government actions are. They're going to say, we need we
Speaker 1: need to get money into people's hands, we need to
Speaker 1: take these actions. But then they turn around and they say, oh,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna push all these climate executive orders. I mean,
Speaker 1: Jay Insley, this guy is honestly like monomaniacal about the
Speaker 1: issue of climate change. I mean, it's just a climate train,
Speaker 1: you know. And he's talking about how we're going to
Speaker 1: have a clean energy revolution. Now play nine. This is
Speaker 1: a nation ready to take off in a clean energy revolution.
Speaker 1: This is perfect for the United States. This is teed
Speaker 1: up for us to do what we do best, which
Speaker 1: has developed jobs in new industries, and we are doing
Speaker 1: that today. Today, clean energy jobs in the reality is
Speaker 1: are growing three times faster than the nation's average. This
Speaker 1: is the place to create energy jobs. This is the
Speaker 1: future and the present. Listen these The other side wants
Speaker 1: to shackle people to a past of an area of
Speaker 1: declining jobs. This is a reality. We do not want
Speaker 1: to to shackle our children to the deadweight of jobs
Speaker 1: that aren't going to exist thirty years from now. We
Speaker 1: want to give our kids the jobs that are growing.
Speaker 1: And this is the number one job creation engine is
Speaker 1: clean energy. And I couldn't be more tickle. Look, this
Speaker 1: is the Hallelulujhan moment. From my view, we have, we've
Speaker 1: crossed the desert of denial and deception about climate change,
Speaker 1: and we have a president who understands how to create
Speaker 1: jobs and he's doing that big time today. This is
Speaker 1: all religious, Ferber and Jay Nsley is not a smart
Speaker 1: not a smart man. This is this is religious belief
Speaker 1: coming out here. They've crossed the desert of the denial
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. If climate change was, what they say,
Speaker 1: the greatest engine for job growth, why does it require
Speaker 1: enormous government intervention, regulation and picking winners and losers even
Speaker 1: to get it going a little bit? What's what? Why
Speaker 1: does the government have to be involved at all? If
Speaker 1: this is so great and so efficient and so profitable,
Speaker 1: why do we have to have this ram down our
Speaker 1: throats by Joe Biden's pen? Why our executive orders even necessary?
Speaker 1: And all this stuff? Oh, that's right, because they are
Speaker 1: just sort of like Robin Hood the app. They are
Speaker 1: rigging the game, and they're rigging the game for their
Speaker 1: green energy interests. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1: app or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm sorry, there's
Speaker 1: no evidence that anyone is going to leave this country
Speaker 1: because of a two cent wealth tax. Can we just
Speaker 1: keep in mind right now in America, who's paying taxes?
Speaker 1: You know, the bottom ninety nine percent last year paid
Speaker 1: about seven and a half percent of their total wealth
Speaker 1: in taxes. That's what it pays. The top one tenth
Speaker 1: of one percent, you know how much they paid, they
Speaker 1: paid about three point two percent. If they added a
Speaker 1: two cent wealth tax, they'd still be paying less than
Speaker 1: most of the people in this entire nation. Look, someone
Speaker 1: has to pay to keep this nation going. And right now,
Speaker 1: what the top one tenth of one percent, the wealthiest
Speaker 1: people in this country have said, is let's let everyone
Speaker 1: else pay for it, because what they want to do
Speaker 1: is not only keep their wealth, they want to keep
Speaker 1: building their wealth faster than anyone else. All I'm saying
Speaker 1: is because we have just a little fairness here. Oh
Speaker 1: har Elisabeth Warret's got an idea. I got an idea.
Speaker 1: Let's salve. Let's all just have a little old two
Speaker 1: two percent, a two percent wealth wealth tax. Oh but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it two cents like it's it's gonna
Speaker 1: be twopennies coming out of your little little piggy bank.
Speaker 1: There you go, mister, mister Republican billionaires. Just take those
Speaker 1: take those little piggy banks and get you you turn
Speaker 1: them upside it. This is how we used to do
Speaker 1: it in Oklahoma. Turn them upside down. Take those pennies.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a it's a two percent wealth tax,
Speaker 1: which means it's supposed to be assessed against your entire
Speaker 1: net wealth and net wealth. Friends, that's a real wealth tax, right,
Speaker 1: And that's what she said. She's that's what she says
Speaker 1: she's wanted in the past. But he's calling it a
Speaker 1: two cent tax. No, it's it's an assessment on everything
Speaker 1: you got. So if you're worth a hundred million, two
Speaker 1: million right off the top, liquid got to pay it
Speaker 1: on top of everything else. You're worth ten million, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it would count if your worth
Speaker 1: ten million. That's not that much money these days, I know, crazy, right,
Speaker 1: but it's true. A lot of people run around worth
Speaker 1: ten million dollars. So and as for her fairness thing, please,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping to become one of them in many, many,
Speaker 1: many years, So you know, please keep listening to this
Speaker 1: radio show, and you know, maybe in fifty years we'll
Speaker 1: get there. The top one percent paid a greater share
Speaker 1: of individual income tax in twenty nineteen than the bottom
Speaker 1: ninety percent combined. Okay, so the top one percent paid
Speaker 1: about thirty seven percent, the bottom ninety percent paid thirty percent.
Speaker 1: Half the country right now pays no income tax at all.
Speaker 1: Half of the United States. But the problem that we
Speaker 1: keep running into is that Republicans don't know where to
Speaker 1: draw the lines on this. Republicans also like to spend
Speaker 1: money too, as we see when they're in power, we
Speaker 1: spent too much money. Now we're gonna call about or
Speaker 1: now we're gonna claim and we need fiscal responsibility and
Speaker 1: a lot of lives. A lot of Democrats are gonna say, uh, well,
Speaker 1: why exactly should that happen now when it wasn't happening
Speaker 1: under Trump? And that's gonna be a tough argument, a
Speaker 1: tough case for us to make. Let's just all be
Speaker 1: very clear on that. We're gonna make it, but we're
Speaker 1: not in a good position to do it. But I
Speaker 1: just think it's fascinating, Warren. There's this woman is there's
Speaker 1: so much dishonesty in her. Whoa's gonna be a two percent?
Speaker 1: A two percent. Oh, let's call it two cents. Okay,
Speaker 1: two cent wealth tax. No, she's it's it's a wealth tax. Friends,
Speaker 1: and people do leave to avoid wealth taxes. This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Join the conversation and message
Speaker 1: Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email Team bucket iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 1: He may read it on the show. What do we
Speaker 1: think about the populace revolts underway on Wall Street? And
Speaker 1: also what's going on with the continued siege of DC.
Speaker 1: We've got our friend Kurt Schlichter joining now. He is
Speaker 1: an attorney, a former member of the United States Army,
Speaker 1: and senior columnist at townhall dot com. Kurt, great to
Speaker 1: have you, Hey, great to be here watching them watching
Speaker 1: it all burn. Yeah, what do you think about that?
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me how weak the arguments from the
Speaker 1: establishment and the elites have been against this. They keep
Speaker 1: acting like they keep backing, like they need to stop
Speaker 1: these these day traders from making a whole lot of
Speaker 1: money at the expense of hedge funds. People need to
Speaker 1: know that in the stock market there's two sides to
Speaker 1: every trade. So if you're doing really well, somebody else
Speaker 1: lost money. Well, look, here's the thing, and people are
Speaker 1: getting people are getting woke or red pilled, or you know,
Speaker 1: seeing the matrix, whatever you want to call it. I
Speaker 1: thought that one of the great things about Donald Trump
Speaker 1: as he exposed the garbage establishment. But Joe Biden Asterisk
Speaker 1: is doing it a hundred times better. Because what we see, Buck,
Speaker 1: is every time we normal people attempt to use the rules,
Speaker 1: whether it's free speech or free enterprise, we're stopped. We're
Speaker 1: told we can't do it, We're told it's illegitimate. You
Speaker 1: beat the Wall Street hedge fund guys at their own game,
Speaker 1: and let me tell you those those guys are all
Speaker 1: Democrat donors. You beat them at their own game. They
Speaker 1: stop the game. Yesterday they turned it off and made
Speaker 1: it impossible for people to continue to participate in the market.
Speaker 1: Now did they stop it for the big hedge fund guys, No, No,
Speaker 1: they had ways of keeping it going. But if you
Speaker 1: were just a normal person who had finally found a
Speaker 1: way to get ahead, fair and square, you found yourself
Speaker 1: completely out. You've been excluded from the game. That's the thing, Buck,
Speaker 1: We're told this is you know, we're told, hey, you
Speaker 1: could do, you could be you can think whatever you want.
Speaker 1: But it's not true. There are limits, and the establishment
Speaker 1: is scared, and Joe Biden is an example of that.
Speaker 1: This is an attempt to hold on to a tetering establishment,
Speaker 1: an establishment who has proven itself inept, corrupt, and incompetent
Speaker 1: and unbelievably arrogant about it at all. As if, as
Speaker 1: if they built any of the things that they now command,
Speaker 1: it's all fallen apart. This is a desperate attempt to
Speaker 1: keep it going. And this ham handed, you know, keeping
Speaker 1: two divisions of soldiers in Washington to tell is this
Speaker 1: a message that you know, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: we'll send the army after you. Well, we already know
Speaker 1: they're sending the FBI after meme guys, but only conservative
Speaker 1: meame guys. The liberal who did the exact same meme,
Speaker 1: except in favor of Hillary, she didn't get arrested by
Speaker 1: a bunch of FBI squad guys. So we're starting to
Speaker 1: see what's really happening, which is a dual track system.
Speaker 1: It's a rigged game. We're not allowed to play, and
Speaker 1: I think it's infuriating people across the spectra. It's just
Speaker 1: as it righties, but it's lefties too. Kurt I have
Speaker 1: to say, I'm I'm somebody who takes a very cynical
Speaker 1: view of Democrats in power, like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 1: But they're they're willingness to pretend that there is an
Speaker 1: imminent threat of a Trump voter, you know, red maga
Speaker 1: hat violent coup in DC at any moment makes me
Speaker 1: think that these people are actually emotionally disturbed, like they've
Speaker 1: got a problem, you know, I don't. I always have
Speaker 1: the question, are they stupid or do they think we're stupid?
Speaker 1: Or is it some combination of both, Because there's literally
Speaker 1: no normal person who looked at what happened on Capitol Hill,
Speaker 1: which is like two three hundred people, some of them
Speaker 1: dressed his vikings, who went in and they didn't hurt
Speaker 1: anybody except maybe this police officer, and we don't know.
Speaker 1: We still don't know about that. I'm not putting it
Speaker 1: off the table. If they hurt a police officer, they
Speaker 1: need to be held accountable. But I want to see
Speaker 1: all the facts. I'm funny that way. The only person
Speaker 1: we know for sure who was killed as a result
Speaker 1: of this was an unowned person shot at close range
Speaker 1: by a police officer in a shooting that again. I
Speaker 1: won't make judgments until I see all the facts, but
Speaker 1: raises immediate questions. So the idea that there's some sort
Speaker 1: of violent revolution we insurruction happening is so ridiculous. I
Speaker 1: think normal people are looking at it and just go,
Speaker 1: what the hell? This is crazy, This is stupid, Kurt.
Speaker 1: I also feel like we're seeing the the the panic
Speaker 1: at their recognition right now that that, even with all
Speaker 1: the Left has seized so much of the commanding heights
Speaker 1: of culture, business and politics. I mean, they this is
Speaker 1: the best position that the Left and the Democrat Party
Speaker 1: has been in since the financial crisis of two thousand
Speaker 1: and eight. I think there's I think it's almost impossible
Speaker 1: to make, you know, a counterargument against that. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're in a spot right now. You're you're right, but
Speaker 1: you know, if there's a differs though, butt between being
Speaker 1: king of the mountain and king of the manure pile.
Speaker 1: What they've done is taken control of an establishment that's
Speaker 1: falling apart. Look at it everything. But so what I
Speaker 1: wanted to say, you know, the comma I was going
Speaker 1: for here was that they also feel a vulnerability in
Speaker 1: those institutions because it's now all in the open. It's
Speaker 1: all clear. You know, the social media platforms. Okay, they
Speaker 1: can crush us now and they look like their monopolies
Speaker 1: and they're unassailable. That may not last. And we're gonna
Speaker 1: remember what they've done. Wall Street, yeah, sure, the big
Speaker 1: hedge funds, they've had their way with people. I mean
Speaker 1: it's amazing to me apparently betting against I mean, picking
Speaker 1: at the bones of American companies like game Stop during
Speaker 1: a pandemic, when companies are hanging on for dear life,
Speaker 1: that somehow is like patriotic and fine, and within the
Speaker 1: system people see that, they see it for what it is.
Speaker 1: So so what I'm saying is, yes, they're in control
Speaker 1: of the system, but I think the cracks, the seams
Speaker 1: are being exposed in ways already that are making the
Speaker 1: left really uneasy. Well, you're so right, because again they've
Speaker 1: they've taken over the Madua pile, not the mountain. Wall
Speaker 1: Street is falling apart and losing the support of the
Speaker 1: American people. Every other institution is too academia. The NFL
Speaker 1: look at its numbers. Two. Look, the thing is, these
Speaker 1: guys got arrogant and they thought you have no alternative,
Speaker 1: you're stuck with us, right, And I think to some
Speaker 1: extent Fox, which we've both been on, and we both
Speaker 1: generally like I think they made that mistake too. Where
Speaker 1: else are these guys going to go? Well, they just
Speaker 1: left and then suddenly, you know, Tucker's getting you know,
Speaker 1: even Pucker's in competition. You know, you know you've got
Speaker 1: You've got Don Lemon winning his hour. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's bad. The thing is they you know, the problem
Speaker 1: with bluffing is that when people finally show their cards,
Speaker 1: maybe the krand isn't is quite as good as they thought.
Speaker 1: You know, there are a lot of people who used
Speaker 1: to do nothing on Sunday afternoon but watch NFL games,
Speaker 1: and then NFL embraced disrespect for a country that maybe
Speaker 1: they fought for, maybe their brother died for, and they
Speaker 1: just said, Okay, I'm not gonna watch anymore. And if
Speaker 1: I was like, well, what else are you gonna do
Speaker 1: with your Sunday, Well they figured things out. I could
Speaker 1: take a walk with my kids, and suddenly their audiences down.
Speaker 1: These institutions thought they were invulnerable. Social media thought, well,
Speaker 1: we'll just shut these guys up. And then people went
Speaker 1: to parlor. Well, we'll shut down parlor. Okay, we're at locals,
Speaker 1: we're on telegram. I get more people signing me into
Speaker 1: telegram groups. You know, people will move. They're not just
Speaker 1: gonna shrug. Oh okay, I give up. I guess because
Speaker 1: because because I can't talk about election fraud on Twitter,
Speaker 1: I'll just never talk about it again. It's not how
Speaker 1: it works. This is an insurgency, a peaceful one, but
Speaker 1: it's an insurgency against an authority that's attempting to be
Speaker 1: a counterinsurgent. And as you well know because of your background,
Speaker 1: just like I do, one of the classic counterinsurgent mistakes
Speaker 1: is to over be provoked and overreacting, thereby alienating the
Speaker 1: masses so that they're more sympathetic to the insurgents and
Speaker 1: less helpful to the counter insurgence. I also feel curt
Speaker 1: right now, like like the Democrat mindset, whether we're talking
Speaker 1: about big Tech, big Hollywood, big Wall Street, you name it,
Speaker 1: you know, corporations that are woke. I feel like their
Speaker 1: mindset is, is this almost impossible to almost impossible to
Speaker 1: really understand how this, how this can work together? Insecurity
Speaker 1: and hubris at the same time, Yes, they're very insecure,
Speaker 1: and they're also very arrogant. We've never had and I
Speaker 1: keep saying, I went and spoke to a bunch of
Speaker 1: very rich Republicans yesterday and these people were cheering the
Speaker 1: game stock rebels and booing the Hedge fund guys. So, okay,
Speaker 1: this is this is woke. This is the Republican Party
Speaker 1: is now woke to it. I think everybody else is
Speaker 1: going to be because they're seeing what's happening, and they are,
Speaker 1: you know, the scales have fallen from their eyes and
Speaker 1: they're seeing the truth of it. And the Democrats are
Speaker 1: insecure because they know they know that they're at risk.
Speaker 1: That's why they're over reacting so much. That look, it's
Speaker 1: not you're not operating from a position of springs when
Speaker 1: you have to attempt to suspect suppress speech. You know,
Speaker 1: we conservatives, we don't suppress speech, and and we never
Speaker 1: talk about doing They're wanting to do it because we're
Speaker 1: confident in our ideas. They're not. They have to enforce conformity. This, this,
Speaker 1: this repression by the establishment is as proof positive that
Speaker 1: they are terrified and this reaction of theirs will only
Speaker 1: make it worse as more and more people come over
Speaker 1: to the side of freedom. Speaking of Kurt Schlichter, he's
Speaker 1: a senior columnist at townhall dot com. Uh, you're a
Speaker 1: lieutenant colonel in the army, full colonel, full apart in
Speaker 1: full bird. Excuse me, sir, full colonel in the army. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that and a dollar gets you the dollar and uh
Speaker 1: and and also a lawyer, an attorney. I want to
Speaker 1: ask on on that side of things for a second, Kurt,
Speaker 1: do you think there's class action material here for what?
Speaker 1: You know? No one's ever thought before that a trading
Speaker 1: app would essentially decide who's gonna win and who's gonna
Speaker 1: lose because of because their buddies are on another side
Speaker 1: of a trade. You know, we're starting to get into
Speaker 1: this thing where private companies are are not operating under
Speaker 1: under the promises that they make. I mean it, you know,
Speaker 1: as as I said before, if you if you bought,
Speaker 1: if you bought you know, a if you bought a
Speaker 1: new vacuum cleaner on Amazon and they and they said, no,
Speaker 1: we're actually going to send you a mop because we
Speaker 1: think that's what you need. That wouldn't be okay. So
Speaker 1: why is it okay? Stopping from trading. Well. Look, the
Speaker 1: first class action lawsuit was filed yesterday in one of
Speaker 1: the district courts of New York. Okay, it's done. The
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. Look, sometimes attorneys used their power for good
Speaker 1: instead of evil. We can't trust the SEC. We can't
Speaker 1: trust it. Janet Yelling got eight hundred thousand dollars from Citadel,
Speaker 1: which is associated with Robin Hood for a speaking gig. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: because because because she's worth eight hundred thousand dollars, right,
Speaker 1: and to expect her in the SEC and the whole
Speaker 1: Biden administration who is getting donations from these hedge fund
Speaker 1: guys to go and enforce the law, and they enforce
Speaker 1: it against they. They may actually go after the Wall
Speaker 1: Street rebels, but they will never go after the hedge
Speaker 1: fund guys. Private attorneys can do that stuff. Private attorneys
Speaker 1: can bring their own cases and maybe they'll get thrown
Speaker 1: out of court. But you know, twenty five percent of
Speaker 1: the courts are Trump appointees. And maybe we'll get a
Speaker 1: fair hearing and something. Maybe we'll even get a fair
Speaker 1: hearing and from some Obama judge. I've been in front
Speaker 1: of very good Obama judges in the ninth circuit. The
Speaker 1: thing is, see a lot of the left is sees
Speaker 1: things the way we now see them. And the problem
Speaker 1: is the reason we can't get together to some extent
Speaker 1: where where we do overlap is you know, this kind
Speaker 1: of false consciousness of wonkeness. Remember how they used to
Speaker 1: always tell us buck, oh, you Republicans, you're voting against
Speaker 1: your own interests because your brainwashed through Christianity and patriotism.
Speaker 1: Well that wasn't true. But what is true is this
Speaker 1: wokeness stuff is used to divide people from their real
Speaker 1: economic interest and their real liberty interest by getting focused
Speaker 1: on nonsense. And I think that's breaking down. You saw
Speaker 1: Donald Trump reached across and ed Brownian Republicans who don't
Speaker 1: look like Nick Romney, you know, the senator from Miracle
Speaker 1: went of all types. Real diverton, not bogus diversion. I'm
Speaker 1: box checking diversity, but diversity of backgrounds uniting against common
Speaker 1: ideology of freedom and liberty. And that's the antidote to wokeness.
Speaker 1: If you get people past this insane wokeness stuff, you
Speaker 1: realize we and so have people we think are our opponents.
Speaker 1: We don't agree on everything, maybe not even most things,
Speaker 1: but there are a few things we can agree on,
Speaker 1: and we got to get past this nonsense that distracts
Speaker 1: us divided. It's easy for the establishment to deal with
Speaker 1: us when we come together understanding common interests. Then they
Speaker 1: got again. Then they're gonna be really scared. Kurch lickor
Speaker 1: everybody follow him on social media, look for his columns
Speaker 1: at townhall dot com. Colonel Kurt always appreciate it, my man,
Speaker 1: Talk to you soon. Thanks, Buck. This is the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show Podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Speaker 1: Inside the Beltway of Washington, d C. The Establishment has
Speaker 1: concentrated their power and now they want to be able
Speaker 1: to reconstitute the Republican Party in their image. My theory
Speaker 1: of the case, Tucker, is that if we only fight
Speaker 1: the neo cons in Washington, d C. Then they're on
Speaker 1: their home turf. So I think we need to go
Speaker 1: out into the country. We need to inspire a positive populism,
Speaker 1: and we need to stand against these America Last politicians
Speaker 1: who are a lot like Congress as a whole, owned
Speaker 1: by foreign interests abroad, special interests home, and then at
Speaker 1: times deeply unpopular. I saw a pull that came out
Speaker 1: yesterday that had Liz Cheney at ten percent approval rating
Speaker 1: with Republicans in her own state. Now, by contrast, Momrgatafi
Speaker 1: had a thirteen percent approval rating in his final days.
Speaker 1: And so it's a bit ironic that Liz Cheney is
Speaker 1: less popular among Republicans than the Arab dictators that she
Speaker 1: wants to throw out of office. Matt Gates pulling a
Speaker 1: lot together there. I gotta say, yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: what Liz Cheney thinks she's doing. Well, actually I do
Speaker 1: know what she thinks she's doing, but it's not smart.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be some Republicans who are going to have
Speaker 1: a tough primary challenge waiting for them in about a
Speaker 1: year's time. That's gonna happen, and it should happen. It's
Speaker 1: the market of politics speaking. Let the market of politics speak.
Speaker 1: But there are going to be a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: folks who are in for a rude awakening here. The
Speaker 1: establishment wants to come back into the in the GOP
Speaker 1: in this leadership role. They want to They want us
Speaker 1: to go back to invading foreign predominantly Muslim countries, and
Speaker 1: they want us to, you know, do the the big
Speaker 1: spending in big government era stuff of the Bush administration,
Speaker 1: and they want us to lose gracefully to the left
Speaker 1: constantly on all cultural and social issues, and just keep
Speaker 1: taking all the abuse from the media. And they don't
Speaker 1: understand the GOP base. The conservative base in this country
Speaker 1: has been red pilled post Kavanaugh, post Trump, we see more.
Speaker 1: We're seeing more even right now with the game Stop
Speaker 1: Wall Street revolt. We see what's rigged. We see how
Speaker 1: the other side cheats and how they want to control us.
Speaker 1: We see what the lockdowns have done. And this is
Speaker 1: not going away just because some people want a Republican
Speaker 1: country club atmosphere. You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast,
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1: app or wherever you get your podcasts. New York severely
Speaker 1: undercounted coronavirus deaths in nursing homes, according to a report
Speaker 1: that the New York State Attorney General, Leticia James is
Speaker 1: pointing to. Now she's got the New York State Attorney
Speaker 1: General investigation concluding that Governor Andrew Cuomo's administration. According to
Speaker 1: New York Times, you're undercounted coronavirus related deaths at nursing
Speaker 1: homes by as much as fifty percent. That's not a
Speaker 1: small mishapp that's not a little change in the numbers.
Speaker 1: This is major and it's worth understanding exactly how we
Speaker 1: got here and how this is a question of being untruthful.
Speaker 1: This isn't just oh, a mistake, this was deception. There
Speaker 1: are reasons that this happened. I want to have tip.
Speaker 1: Tom Elliott over at Gravy and Media pulled together a
Speaker 1: number of clips that I want to use for you
Speaker 1: of what Cuomo has said in October he claimed that
Speaker 1: these were not his fault, all right. He said that
Speaker 1: the deaths were the result of nursing home staff. That's right,
Speaker 1: it was nursing home staff that brought people that brought
Speaker 1: the virus into the nursing homes. Or would you delegate
Speaker 1: it to fifty states? But their criticism was, well, people
Speaker 1: in nursing homes died, Yes, people in nursing homes died,
Speaker 1: and they attacked me and all the other Democratic governors
Speaker 1: with that. We know that this virus attacks the old
Speaker 1: and the week we introduced were introduced to the virus
Speaker 1: in Seattle, Washington when it attacked in a nursing home.
Speaker 1: And yes, a large number of seniors in nursing homes
Speaker 1: passed away in New York State. When you look at
Speaker 1: the percentage of deaths in nursing home, we're forty six
Speaker 1: out of fifty states, forty six out of fifty states,
Speaker 1: So by percentage, our loss was much much less than
Speaker 1: other states. We've done a full study of it. The
Speaker 1: virus came into nursing homes from the staff. This is
Speaker 1: before we knew there was asymptomatic spread, before we had
Speaker 1: the testing capacity. But we always had additional beds for
Speaker 1: COVID positive people. We had emergency hospital beds, additional hospital capacity.
Speaker 1: We never forced any nursing home to take them, because
Speaker 1: that's just not true. I mean, he can keep saying this,
Speaker 1: he can keep claiming this, but it's not true. He
Speaker 1: even says that he never signed an executive order instructing
Speaker 1: nursing homes to accept patients. All right, he did that
Speaker 1: in the past. He blamed the Trump administration. Here you
Speaker 1: go war stuff March. Absolutely, there were the idea that
Speaker 1: the hospitals were going to be full was a real one.
Speaker 1: You wanted to free up beds. But to Jonathan's question, now,
Speaker 1: and you do a lot of reflecting in this book,
Speaker 1: and you admit to some mistakes. Maybe we should have
Speaker 1: done masking sooner, Maybe we should have shut things down earlier.
Speaker 1: That's all early March fog of war stuff, and we
Speaker 1: get that. But with the benefit of hindsight, would you
Speaker 1: not have issued that March twenty fifth directive to send
Speaker 1: COVID positive patients back to nursing homes? And will you
Speaker 1: do it again if this comes up? Yeah, Willie, I
Speaker 1: hate to get technical with you, but sometimes these seeing
Speaker 1: things are technical. There was never a directive that said
Speaker 1: we will send COVID positive people back to nursing homes.
Speaker 1: The directive, which was modeled on the federal directive, said
Speaker 1: you cannot discriminate, but the state law clearly says a
Speaker 1: nursing home can't accept the person unless they can treat them.
Speaker 1: Having said that, would my health department have followed the
Speaker 1: federal guidance obviously not knowing the political issue. It would
Speaker 1: notice the way he talks circles here, nothing happened. No,
Speaker 1: we didn't do the thing. I mean, some people did
Speaker 1: the thing, but we didn't do the thing. But if
Speaker 1: we had the other thing, it was because other people
Speaker 1: did the thing, not because my people did the thing
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. He's going in circles. Did this
Speaker 1: happen or not? That was a Willie Geist on NBC
Speaker 1: asking real questions back in October. Surprise, surprise, here he
Speaker 1: is again nursing home issue and pushed off responsibility to
Speaker 1: other people. What do you say to those families who
Speaker 1: believe that the death of their loved one was preventable.
Speaker 1: One of the things I find reprehensible about it, Willie,
Speaker 1: is they the president did create that impression, which is cruel.
Speaker 1: It's cruel. It's cruel to say that the families who
Speaker 1: lost people in nursing homes, well, this could have been
Speaker 1: prevented by a different government policy. It makes their pain worse.
Speaker 1: Be clear, the Democrats have been saying that Trump is
Speaker 1: the reason for hundreds of thousands of COVID debts, including Cuomo.
Speaker 1: Cuomo blames the federal government. He'll say people died because
Speaker 1: of bad government, but only other people's bad government. I mean,
Speaker 1: after that interview a couple of weeks later, he said
Speaker 1: it was a conspiracy that the Department of Justice under
Speaker 1: Trump came up with. But in May it was going
Speaker 1: back to May, here's what he said to Savannah Guthrie
Speaker 1: on NBC about the nursing homes who had a directive
Speaker 1: that nursing homes could not turn away those who had COVID,
Speaker 1: which exposed a vulnerable population. You have fifty eight hundred
Speaker 1: people die in senior homes in this state in retrospect?
Speaker 1: Was that order a mistake? I know that guidance has
Speaker 1: since been changed. Now we followed federal guidance on the
Speaker 1: nursing homes. So what we did here in New York
Speaker 1: is nothing different than what the federal government put out
Speaker 1: his guidance for every state. Yes, people died, Savannah. No,
Speaker 1: Look if you look at how many people died in
Speaker 1: nursing homes in New York compared to other states, we
Speaker 1: actually have a lower percentage of people who died in
Speaker 1: nursing homes, but we had more people died than any
Speaker 1: other state. That's a fact. The reason that happened was
Speaker 1: because we had the virus coming from Europe when the
Speaker 1: federal government told us the virus was coming from China. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's why it happened. Notice he deflects, he bobs and
Speaker 1: waves him, and you got to give the guy credit.
Speaker 1: He's shameless he's morally grotesque, but he is quite good
Speaker 1: at evading accountability. It's the governor of New York State, folks,
Speaker 1: here he is. At one point, they were talking about
Speaker 1: how he would be a great stand in for Democrat
Speaker 1: president instead of instead of the Biden Biden Care campaign.
Speaker 1: Remember that. But back in June, here's what he was
Speaker 1: saying about his nursing home. I wanted to just give
Speaker 1: you this is the way this guy has changed his
Speaker 1: story over and over and over again. He is a
Speaker 1: sociopathic liar. Yeah, look, there's I've taken political heat. Okay,
Speaker 1: there are facts in this politics. There's no doubt. In
Speaker 1: nursing homes all across this nation, that's where we saw
Speaker 1: most of the deaths, not most, but almost fifty percent
Speaker 1: of the death senior citizens in congregate settings. And it's
Speaker 1: becoming more and more clear that the infection in the
Speaker 1: nursing homes came from the staff that got infected and
Speaker 1: brought it in. But in New York when number forty
Speaker 1: six in the nation in terms of percentage of deaths
Speaker 1: at nursing homes compared to the total percentage. So I
Speaker 1: just want understand he is saying this, Do you notice
Speaker 1: he used that that same statistic forty six forty six forties,
Speaker 1: they undercounted nursing home death by fifty percent. You understand that, right.
Speaker 1: So this whole time he's been hanging on this statistic,
Speaker 1: he's been lying about the fact that he put out
Speaker 1: an executive order. Why would you put out an executive
Speaker 1: order if you're just doing what everybody else is doing.
Speaker 1: Every other state did not do this. But he keeps
Speaker 1: going back to this number, this statistic. Oh, we're at
Speaker 1: you know, we're at forty six or whatever it is. Right,
Speaker 1: that's because they hid fifty percent of the nursing home deaths.
Speaker 1: Because if you were in a nursing home and you
Speaker 1: were sick, but you died in a hospital, that didn't
Speaker 1: count as a nursing home death. Ah, that's what this
Speaker 1: report shows. So his whole defense here about oh, it
Speaker 1: wasn't me, it was somebody else. Willly did what we
Speaker 1: were told, and oh, by the way, we actually did
Speaker 1: a really good job. Bull This guy is a maniac
Speaker 1: when it comes to this, But he knows that his
Speaker 1: political future hangs in the balance because thousands and thousands
Speaker 1: of seniors dying because of a bone headed decision by
Speaker 1: a governor that can actually cost you your privileged political perch, Cuomo,
Speaker 1: that can actually be a problem for you. If only
Speaker 1: there could be a reckoning among Democrats in this state.
Speaker 1: Can we can we please just not have the stupid,
Speaker 1: evil and thuggish Democrat variety in charge of the state.
Speaker 1: Could we have somebody who's just not quite as awful?
Speaker 1: And there's so many other options. I would take over
Speaker 1: this guy. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Join
Speaker 1: the conversation and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email
Speaker 1: Team bucket iHeartMedia dot com if he may read it
Speaker 1: on the show. Two sources tell CNN that some warned
Speaker 1: him against this, with one source telling us he was
Speaker 1: told this would make it look like he was quote
Speaker 1: crawling back to Trump unquote, also that it would further
Speaker 1: isolate him from mainstream donors who want to move away
Speaker 1: from the disgrace former president. Now keeping him honest doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like that is a big concern anymore for Congressman
Speaker 1: McCarthy or the party. It's who they are, It's who
Speaker 1: they believe their constituents are. After all, he in one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight other Republican House members voted to
Speaker 1: overturn the election even after they were attacked, and all
Speaker 1: but five Senate Republicans have signaled they will not vote
Speaker 1: to convict the ex president for what he did, because
Speaker 1: this is still the ex president's party belongs to him,
Speaker 1: to the insurrectionists who supported him, to those beyond even
Speaker 1: that fringe Anderson Cooper trust fund, trust fund baby and
Speaker 1: ultra elitist. Wants to be very clear with all of
Speaker 1: you that if you voted for Trump, you are one
Speaker 1: of the insurrectionists. If you voted for Trump, you're somebody
Speaker 1: who should be punished, should suffer. There should be consequences
Speaker 1: for your actions. Not allowed to have voted for Trump,
Speaker 1: you see, not if you think you should be invited
Speaker 1: to polite society and fancy cocktail parties. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: or just be allowed to have your job or be
Speaker 1: allowed to talk on social media. They're still pretending that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump caused the riot that happened on Capitol Hill,
Speaker 1: the insurrection, as they say. He's still saying that that
Speaker 1: that's central to the narrative of why Donald Trump needs
Speaker 1: to be convicted, right, that's all. It's all his fault,
Speaker 1: that this was an insurrection which means an attempt to
Speaker 1: overthrow the United States government. It was an attempt to
Speaker 1: interfere temporarily in a government process. It stopped the Congress
Speaker 1: from holding its vote for a couple of hours, a
Speaker 1: few hours, But there was no serious effort to overthrow
Speaker 1: the government and hold the power of the government in
Speaker 1: the hands of these individuals. Right, Let's let's speak about
Speaker 1: this honestly. But of course that's not something they're willing
Speaker 1: to do. And if you're looking for dishonesty around all this,
Speaker 1: you would have a hard time finding somebody better at
Speaker 1: that than Nancy Pelosi, who is insisting that Trump must
Speaker 1: be Remember she led she led a sham impeach of
Speaker 1: Trump a year ago. It's only been one year, isn't
Speaker 1: that amazing? Nancy Pelosi wanted to impeach Donald Trump over
Speaker 1: a phone call that we now know more than ever
Speaker 1: was not illegal, was not illicit, and should certainly never
Speaker 1: been the basis for an impeachment proceeding. There was no
Speaker 1: power abused, and what Trump was asking about wasn't even
Speaker 1: wrong to ask on that phone call with the Prime
Speaker 1: Minister of Ukraine. But they tried, They took their one shot,
Speaker 1: and now they're taking another one. And here's Pelosi Maya,
Speaker 1: how to use you a pitch data trap? I hate,
Speaker 1: I hate data trap. Play six. No one is above
Speaker 1: the law, not even a president of the United States.
Speaker 1: And Trump must be tried and convicted to ensure that
Speaker 1: no future president will ever think it's okay to incite insurrection,
Speaker 1: to stop the ascertainment of who the next president of
Speaker 1: the United States will be by falsely inflaming people falsely
Speaker 1: about the outcome of the election. Bring a charge against him, Pelosi,
Speaker 1: you got, you got the Biden DJ bring it. Let's
Speaker 1: see what you got. She's speaking about this as a
Speaker 1: criminal matter, so let's see her bring a criminal charge
Speaker 1: against this former president. I should say, sorry, that's going
Speaker 1: to keep happening for a while. Here. Donald Trump's just
Speaker 1: a private citizen. Now he does have Secret Service protection,
Speaker 1: but just a private citizen. So why not let's see
Speaker 1: what you got. Take him to court, show us the evidence.
Speaker 1: This is all observed, though, as we know, they're upset, though.
Speaker 1: They have to keep this narrative going because they recognize
Speaker 1: that Trump will still have a lot of influence and
Speaker 1: a lot of authority, a lot of power in politics,
Speaker 1: even if he doesn't actually have official government power. They're
Speaker 1: very much aware of that here Senator Van Holland talking
Speaker 1: about a play eleven. This is a big, big problem
Speaker 1: that you have the leader of the House Republican Party
Speaker 1: refusing to confront members who now are on record having
Speaker 1: openly called for violent actions, including directly against the Speaker
Speaker 1: of the House. I wish we saw Republicans deciding to
Speaker 1: turn the page and put this really awful era of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump behind them, But instead they seem to be
Speaker 1: still captured by the by Donald Trump. Captured by Donald Trump?
Speaker 1: Oh no, what will we ever do? So terrifying, isn't
Speaker 1: it the guy who ran a successful presidency. Look the
Speaker 1: post election period, you know that I've had my criticisms
Speaker 1: of it with this with the former president, But the
Speaker 1: actual three years prepen dmic of Trump were great. We
Speaker 1: had three great years, and then we got hit with
Speaker 1: the pandemic. That's what ended up happening. They can sit
Speaker 1: around to pretend that there was fascism and pretend that
Speaker 1: it was the worst thing to ever happen, but we
Speaker 1: all know it's not true. One of the reasons they
Speaker 1: hate Trump so much is that he refused to apologize
Speaker 1: for the hurt feelings of the left. And he was
Speaker 1: also far more successful as president than they ever allowed
Speaker 1: the American people to think until we saw it with
Speaker 1: our own eyes. And that's why they have to go
Speaker 1: after him, right. They have to ruin the legacy of
Speaker 1: Trump entirely because here's what could end up happening. Here's
Speaker 1: my theory. What if Trump says, you know what, he's
Speaker 1: now in Florida's in mar Lago. He's got his family
Speaker 1: around him, He's got all these donors. He says, guys,
Speaker 1: you know who is you know who's going to take
Speaker 1: up the torch of Maga now, Ronda Santis, the governor
Speaker 1: of Florida. Think about what that could do. Think about
Speaker 1: the record that descent is already has to run on
Speaker 1: right now, and all the numbers people fleeing their states,
Speaker 1: Blue states in particular, to move to Florida. Right the
Speaker 1: market of your fellow American citizens is speaking right now
Speaker 1: by people moving with their feet, you know, they're voting
Speaker 1: with their feet. And that's where I think they also
Speaker 1: recognize they need to take take this Trump power center
Speaker 1: and crush it. It's also about revenge, of course. Senator
Speaker 1: Barasso sees this play ten. So there's plenty of accountability.
Speaker 1: There's this president is the only president in the history
Speaker 1: of the nation to be impeached twice. Now that's going
Speaker 1: to be in the history books forever. But in terms
Speaker 1: of what Senator Kane is proposing, Chuck Schumer, Senator Kay said,
Speaker 1: let's do this instead of a trial. Senator Schumer, the
Speaker 1: majority leader, has said we're going to trial. That's what's
Speaker 1: going to happen in the United States Senate saying that
Speaker 1: is even higher priority than focusing on getting people back
Speaker 1: to work, getting kids back to school, getting relief out there.
Speaker 1: They're saying it's a higher priority than allowing President Biden
Speaker 1: to put his cabinet in place. This is the Democrat priority.
Speaker 1: This is a partisan crusade. It is revenge, it's vindictive.
Speaker 1: And my prediction is that President Trump will not be
Speaker 1: found guilty when the final vote is taken, he will
Speaker 1: not be Thankfully, he will not be. One more note
Speaker 1: for you want to talk about a rigged system. I
Speaker 1: meant to mention this before you know the FBI lawyer
Speaker 1: who falsified evidence against Trump campaign aide Carter Page, lied
Speaker 1: about evidence. You know how much jail time he was
Speaker 1: given to day. Kevin Kleine Smith no jail time, zero,
Speaker 1: not a day. The system is rigged. We need to
Speaker 1: see that at understand it, and start unrigging it. You're
Speaker 1: listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Make sure you
Speaker 1: subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. Rock and roll Fellow Patriots, it's

Speaker 1: cool producer Mark, so I know these things. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm joking. I have heard of him, but he's right.
Speaker 1: But I just like this. This is the first time
Speaker 1: in a long time I feel like I've actually known
Speaker 1: one of these things. So I just like to assert
Speaker 1: that I'm a hip character who knows all the funky beats.
Speaker 1: And there you go. If I would have said something
Speaker 1: more like Atlantis Morris Set, you would have understood more.
Speaker 1: Though It's like rain on your wedding day, Mark, you
Speaker 1: know that? All right? My weekend's gonna be reading, sleeping, napping,
Speaker 1: and trying to steal to Lula back from my parents
Speaker 1: at some point because I haven't had her in a
Speaker 1: week and I'm getting sad on the inside. Do you
Speaker 1: just go take her sometimes? No, like I have to ask,
Speaker 1: But they like when I take her sometimes because I
Speaker 1: take care of her and then it's a nice break.
Speaker 1: But now I don't know they've they haven't given her
Speaker 1: back to me, so I might you know, I might
Speaker 1: have to get my own I might have to get
Speaker 1: my own dog. You know, that's like mine one hundred
Speaker 1: percent of the time. This is where we're heading. So
Speaker 1: my little brother just got a a Cavalier miniature poodle mix,
Speaker 1: a cavapoo, and it's adorable. And uh, does your does
Speaker 1: the missus have allergy? Yours? Is that right? She does
Speaker 1: not know? She? Oh, she does not, Okay, because because
Speaker 1: my brother's fiance does. And so the cavapoo mix, you're good.
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry. They don't have a you know,
Speaker 1: they don't have the dander or whatever it is that
Speaker 1: causes I am interested in the dog that doesn't shed
Speaker 1: very much like that appeals to me. Yeah, Oh, you
Speaker 1: guys should look at a cavapoo. They're great. Apparently it's
Speaker 1: very hard to get pure red puppies right now because
Speaker 1: everybody is trying to get puppies. Everybody wants dogs right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, they've been such a joy for me. It's
Speaker 1: such a joy during the lockdown. Really, one of the
Speaker 1: only sort of happy moments you know of of of
Speaker 1: the pandemic have been, you know, either with my significant
Speaker 1: other or with the dog. That's really it. And with
Speaker 1: families sometimes. But even my family, I gotta be careful
Speaker 1: because I got some older, older relatives and you know,
Speaker 1: with the whole COVID thing, so that's a little bit stressful. Anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the dog, the dogs are great. So we've got producer
Speaker 1: Mark chilling this weekend next week in Super Bowl, good
Speaker 1: things all around. Have you tried the show yet that
Speaker 1: I recommended for you and missus Mark the Boys? No,
Speaker 1: I have not. I'm sorry. She keeps willing to watch
Speaker 1: other stuff. Producer Mark, Will you tell her that Buck
Speaker 1: is getting a little sad on the inside that she's
Speaker 1: got She's gotta trust me, She's got to give it
Speaker 1: like thirty minutes, you know, I think she's gonna be
Speaker 1: into it. I know if I were her, I'd be
Speaker 1: skeptical of me too. God, you know, to give it
Speaker 1: what you tell her, Yeah, let's be fair. But she's
Speaker 1: got to try this one, all right. You know she
Speaker 1: may be skeptical of my taste, but this time around,
Speaker 1: I'm telling and you guys will both be really into it.
Speaker 1: I will say it is. This is one warning. It
Speaker 1: is so intentionally, like grossly violent in places on purpose,
Speaker 1: that it actually is meant to be almost humorous, if
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Like it's so gross and violent in
Speaker 1: some places, it's not like it's hard to explain. It's
Speaker 1: not like mean violence. It's just like you gotta see
Speaker 1: it to see what I mean. Like you'll just go,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I can't believe they just did that
Speaker 1: in this show. And they're doing it intentionally. They kind
Speaker 1: of do it intentionally to push your buttons. But some
Speaker 1: of the craziest There is a new HBO Max movie
Speaker 1: coming out this weekend. Then I'll be watching That's what
Speaker 1: is it. It's called The Little Things and it's got
Speaker 1: Denzel Washington, Jared Leto and Rammi Malick. What is your
Speaker 1: favorite Denzel Washington movie? Oh, oh my god, the name
Speaker 1: of it is slipping the football. I want to remember
Speaker 1: the Titans. Oh my god, I can't believe I always
Speaker 1: forgot about that. Yeah, that's his best I mean, probably
Speaker 1: not his best movie, but my favorite. It's one of
Speaker 1: the best sports movies of all time. I would say
Speaker 1: that my favorite. I think the best Denzel Washington movie
Speaker 1: of all time is probably but he's not the lead.
Speaker 1: He's a leading character. Is Glory. That's one of the best,
Speaker 1: if not the best, Denzel Washington movie. But he's so
Speaker 1: good in Training Day and so good An American Gangster
Speaker 1: that it's it's hard to pick between in terms of
Speaker 1: individual performance those two movies, both of which, by the way,
Speaker 1: if you have not seen you're listening, you want a
Speaker 1: movie to check out this weekend, Training Day American Obviously Glory,
Speaker 1: but I think this audience, I guess ninety percent of
Speaker 1: them I've seen Glory, But Training Day in American Gangster
Speaker 1: are both really good for what they are. Basically, all
Speaker 1: you have to is tell me that Denzel Washington stars
Speaker 1: in a movie, I'm probably gonna watch it. He's not
Speaker 1: many bad ones. He's one of my I would say
Speaker 1: he's one of my ten favorite actors and may even
Speaker 1: be top five, may even be top five. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at his filmography right now. I can't name
Speaker 1: him a bad one, at least the ones I've seen
Speaker 1: he's in. He's in very, very good stuff. I agree.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to uh some of the producer.
Speaker 1: Mark is gonna watch The Boys at some point and
Speaker 1: he'll give us his review even if my wife doesn't
Speaker 1: want to. I will watch it myself. I promise it.
Speaker 1: There we definitely appeals to me. There we go. Did
Speaker 1: you wait? Does she think that it won't be good
Speaker 1: or does she just have other things that she thinks
Speaker 1: are better? He's other things that she prefers to watch.
Speaker 1: And if I tell her that it's all gory and
Speaker 1: stuff like, she still won't watch The Joker, which was
Speaker 1: like one of the better movies of last year, because
Speaker 1: she thought it would be too scar Yeah, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to watch this one solo. Yeah, exactly. There are
Speaker 1: scenes in this in that show that you and I
Speaker 1: are gonna want to talk about on air. Well, we
Speaker 1: will start nervously laughing as we talk about it because
Speaker 1: it's so messed up that you'll just be like, I
Speaker 1: can't believe I saw that. That's pretty crazy. It doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like something I should show my wife. Yeah, i'd say,
Speaker 1: go solo on it. Go solo on it when you
Speaker 1: got a minute, all right, Yeah, exactly, David, Hey buck,
Speaker 1: I just saw the first political ad on TV for
Speaker 1: a new governatorial candidate in Virginia. Pete Snyder. Seems like
Speaker 1: a nice fellow, but it's the same garbage Republicans have
Speaker 1: been feeding us forever. It's a bunch of SloMo clips
Speaker 1: of him looking casual, talking to business owners and looking concerned.
Speaker 1: There's an inspirational voice over telling us how great he is.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing every election cycle, and we keep
Speaker 1: getting our butts handed to us. The Commonwealth is officially blue,
Speaker 1: and apparently there's no plan to turn it around. Take
Speaker 1: care of Keep up the good work, David. Yeah, Virginia's blue, man.
Speaker 1: They flipped it blue, and Georgia is looking like it's
Speaker 1: blue now. You know, Ohio and Florida are now pretty
Speaker 1: solidly read, thank god. But we've lost Virginia. We've lost Georgia,
Speaker 1: and that's that's a problem for us. That's a problem. Um,
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta figure out. You know, Yes, I
Speaker 1: like that that that Florida is becoming the Republican stronghold. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Texas. I don't know why Texas couldn't have
Speaker 1: better leadership during this pandemic. You know, I don't know
Speaker 1: why Governor Abbott couldn't pull it together more here, you know,
Speaker 1: he got a little I don't know, he fell off,
Speaker 1: fell off track here a bit wasn't good. Um, Texas
Speaker 1: should have been the beacon of freedom during lockdowns, and
Speaker 1: they got they got fou cheat, they got fou cheat,
Speaker 1: they got fou cheat up. That's what happened. So not good,
Speaker 1: not good. But Florida still the bright spot, I know,
Speaker 1: the sunshine state, if you will, place where you can
Speaker 1: get great weather and delicious oranges and you can wear
Speaker 1: flip flumps pretty much everywhere, and it's fashionable. Did you
Speaker 1: know that producer More, we're flip flumps anywhere in Florida.
Speaker 1: I mean maybe not the church, but like, you wear
Speaker 1: fliplops pretty much anywhere else, do you? I don't think
Speaker 1: flip flops are fashionable anywhere but the beach or like
Speaker 1: a shower, I guess if you're in a communal shower.
Speaker 1: M I think I think it depends. But you do
Speaker 1: see a lot of flip flops going on and uh
Speaker 1: and also cargo cargo shorts, no one, Florida Florida fashion
Speaker 1: cargo shorts, no problem, no problem. So you're saying the
Speaker 1: fashion of Florida is perfect for buck. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: pajama pants. I want to walk around with pajama pants
Speaker 1: in Florida. Looks like I'm wearing like beach pants. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I'm just being a cool guy.
Speaker 1: I feel like the Florida fashion is perfect for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Or you want to dress like an eighties dad? Correct? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: cargo pants too, even you have struck the bulls eye. Yes,
Speaker 1: I just I want to be a comfortable I want
Speaker 1: to be a comfortable like late nineteen eighties dad. So
Speaker 1: there we go. I might even wear do you remember
Speaker 1: birken Stocks. Oh, don't be a birken Stock go all
Speaker 1: in though, To go all in, you have to wear
Speaker 1: burken stocks with socks. A vegan too. No, See that's
Speaker 1: some that's some like hippie nonsense. If you ever watched
Speaker 1: The Big Lebowski you would know you can watch You
Speaker 1: can wear burken stocks with socks and still be a
Speaker 1: meat eating sarcastic fellow. Um, but actually the big Lebowski's
Speaker 1: kind of a hippie. I just sort of I just
Speaker 1: boxed myself into further Yeah, all right, well whatever, Randy,
Speaker 1: Good morning Buck. I just finished listening to one of
Speaker 1: your podcasts from yesterday thoroughly enjoyed it. During the show,
Speaker 1: I perked up when you referred to AOC as a
Speaker 1: dangerous imbecile, which caught me thinking about the old Soviet term,
Speaker 1: which may be equally applicable to her to her function
Speaker 1: within the Socialist Democrat Party useful idiot. She fulfills an
Speaker 1: immediate need and will be quickly discarded when her usefulness
Speaker 1: is finished. She won't rise in the party length of
Speaker 1: party ranks because she is severely lacking in intellect and
Speaker 1: her critical thinking is not distant. My mother's dog displays
Speaker 1: more cunning. Wendy, I, first of all, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for listening to the show. I don't know if
Speaker 1: she won't rise in the party ranks, though I think
Speaker 1: you're Joe. Let's let's be cleared, Wendy, Joe Biden is president.
Speaker 1: No joke, Wendy. You know I'm sit here. Ryan the
Speaker 1: chew chew go to DC, and I'm a bringing together
Speaker 1: a country by reading speeches, the very practice kind of
Speaker 1: yelling thing. But then I'm gonna go back down to
Speaker 1: being Grandpa America's grandpa right here from Delaware, blue collar Joe.
Speaker 1: So if that guy can become president, AOC can become president.
Speaker 1: I think we need to be real about that. I
Speaker 1: really do. I think I think we need to be
Speaker 1: honest about it. Mike Hey, bucking Mark. All of the
Speaker 1: censorship since the election reminds me of the first rule
Speaker 1: in the movie Fight Club. The first rule of censorship
Speaker 1: is nobody's allowed to talk about censorship. The left's momentum
Speaker 1: and censoring conservatives seems to be gaining more momentum each day.
Speaker 1: I feel like we are in a tug of war
Speaker 1: for freedom, but those on the left are the only
Speaker 1: ones who are allowed to pull the rope. Keep up
Speaker 1: the great work and all you do fight back shields.
Speaker 1: I well, Mike, thank you, I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1: I mean, the left, look, they've they've seized control of
Speaker 1: a lot of institutions. They are ascendant right now. They
Speaker 1: feel very powerful, very full of themselves, and we have
Speaker 1: not yet come up with a strong mechanism of pushback.
Speaker 1: We are the right does not have its counter revolution.
Speaker 1: It doesn't We don't have our mobilization in play right
Speaker 1: now against this left wing suppression, against this left wing
Speaker 1: takeover that is still underway that we're still suffering from
Speaker 1: right now. That is going to change, though. We are
Speaker 1: going to come up with our rallying cry, our means
Speaker 1: of of an of ideas, of an overarching idea, with
Speaker 1: all these other policies, but you know, put into it
Speaker 1: that are the alternative to what we are seeing from
Speaker 1: these democrats. It will happen. We just we have to
Speaker 1: be patient, We have to hold the line. We have
Speaker 1: to understand what we are up against here. But it's
Speaker 1: it's coming. Remember seventy five million people, You're not alone, friends.
Speaker 1: You have to keep this in mind. Seventy five million
Speaker 1: people voted for Donald Trump, seventy five million in this country,
Speaker 1: and nobody thinks that any of those votes really were fraudulent.
Speaker 1: I'm just going to say that. So seventy five million
Speaker 1: votes for Trump. Yes, Joe Biden is currently president the
Speaker 1: United States, doesn't mean that there isn't a conservative renaissance
Speaker 1: in waiting right now. And I know that might sound
Speaker 1: like happy talk. I know this may sound like I'm
Speaker 1: being too optimistic or whatever. I fully understand the challenges
Speaker 1: we face. I fully grasp what it means for you,
Speaker 1: your family, for your children, well in some cases not
Speaker 1: in school because the lockdowns, but for your children's schooling,
Speaker 1: for your professional future, for your future as an American,
Speaker 1: as a citizen. I know all of the pitfalls and
Speaker 1: what the stakes are right now. But I'm also I'm
Speaker 1: telling you the Democrats got where they got into this
Speaker 1: position through deception, and that deception is going to come
Speaker 1: with a price. And the price is something that we're
Speaker 1: still putting in place. How we exact that price, but
Speaker 1: it will happen. Keep the faith, hold the line. This

Speaker 1: next up here, We've talked for a long time about
Speaker 1: how the schools are broken and they are indoctrination camps
Speaker 1: for our kids. Come to the point now where they're
Speaker 1: holding our kids hostage. They're actually begging us to find
Speaker 1: another option. Is it possible you can work with the
Speaker 1: team to help us all figure out what the options,
Speaker 1: what the other options are. Maybe that will be our
Speaker 1: conservative movement where we can all make efforts to do shields. Hie. Well, Brad,
Speaker 1: it's a great idea, you know. Maybe we can bring
Speaker 1: somebody on who has expertise in how to start if you,
Speaker 1: let's say, wanted to homeschool. Given all the resources now online,
Speaker 1: everything people have, I think that there should and I'm
Speaker 1: sure that's exists. Let me let me be clear, I
Speaker 1: don't have kids yet. I don't know about this stuff really,
Speaker 1: so we'd have to bring somebody on who has an
Speaker 1: expertise in this. I don't have it. But I think
Speaker 1: if everyone listening to the show across the country knew
Speaker 1: where to go, what are the resources, what are the pathways?
Speaker 1: If you wanted to homeschool, how do you do it?
Speaker 1: Because from what I hear, it's homeschooling is I shouldn't
Speaker 1: say easier than ever, but there's more to help you
Speaker 1: do it and do it well. And there people form
Speaker 1: these groups so the kids also can go out and
Speaker 1: play sports and socialize. But a lot of the instruction
Speaker 1: is done at home and there's all this online. But
Speaker 1: I'm not speaking from a place of deep knowledge. So
Speaker 1: I need to find out more. But Brad, I'll look
Speaker 1: into that because I would like to help with that.
Speaker 1: I would like to get us to a point where
Speaker 1: we can do a segment where people know if they
Speaker 1: listen to that segment on this show, Hey, if you
Speaker 1: want to start homecoling homeschooling your kids now or in September,
Speaker 1: you know how to get to how to get to
Speaker 1: step one and make it the best possible program for
Speaker 1: your kid. Steve, it looks like the game plan is
Speaker 1: to wipe out everything Trump did, no matter what. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Biden is so out of touch that he canceled Keystone
Speaker 1: Excel without asking what would be the fallout with the
Speaker 1: loss of jobs or to hit the hit to the economy.
Speaker 1: The political cancel culture is out of control. To hell
Speaker 1: with the consequences that this was ancient Egypt, this new
Speaker 1: Biden regime would be chiseling Trump's name off the temple walls,
Speaker 1: or Steve and the Soviet Union using razor blades to
Speaker 1: actually remove in documents the names of people that have
Speaker 1: been eliminated. That's what they used to do in the
Speaker 1: Soviet era. Thanks so much everybody for joining have a
Speaker 1: great weekend, honored to have been with you, and next
Speaker 1: week will be in this fight once again together, Shields
