Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to
Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart Act or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. Is anybody surprised that Kamala Harris isn't doing
Speaker 1: a great job fixing our border by vegan Central America?
Speaker 1: That it's a debacle? Pretty much? Is this a shock
Speaker 1: to anyone? What has ever shown people who are who
Speaker 1: are fixed or who are fixing their attention on results
Speaker 1: and ability? What has ever shown them any inclination whatsoever
Speaker 1: of Kamala Harris to get the job done, To just
Speaker 1: be Harris and have people push her along and vote
Speaker 1: for her and elevate her. Yeah, sure she can do that,
Speaker 1: But to actually get results that shows a skill set
Speaker 1: that shows inability beyond playing the system. This shouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprising at all. Right, it's not surprising. We'll get more
Speaker 1: into this in a second. But you know, we're living
Speaker 1: in a digital age where your personal data is always
Speaker 1: under attack and your online privacy seems to be a
Speaker 1: thing of the past. There's a better way you can
Speaker 1: protect your information and privacy without worrying about the prying
Speaker 1: eyes of big data. Introducing Secure, an encrypted instant messaging

Speaker 1: I will go again. But when I'm in Guatemala dealing
Speaker 1: with root causes, I think we should have a conversation
Speaker 1: about what's going on in Guatemala. What a disaster Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris is here. What a disaster. Everyone knows it, everyone
Speaker 1: sees it, and they're being reminded of what was so
Speaker 1: apparent when she wanted to be the next president instead
Speaker 1: of vice president, an appointed position president of the United States.
Speaker 1: With even Democrat voters, this isn't a Republican thing. Democrat
Speaker 1: voters were like, I don't like her. Seems very staged,
Speaker 1: very fake, obviously, so and here she is acting like
Speaker 1: everybody else is crazy. She's the borders are who will
Speaker 1: not go to the US Mexico border, And she's laughing
Speaker 1: whenever she's whenever she's challenged on this. It's pretty easy.
Speaker 1: Why not just say, you know what, I'll go to
Speaker 1: the border tomorrow. Stop asking me this question. I'll go
Speaker 1: to the border tomorrow because she won't go. She won't
Speaker 1: go because there will be a press corps that travels
Speaker 1: with her and they will have to cover the disaster
Speaker 1: and she will be photographed there. We all understand what's
Speaker 1: going on here. This is not actually that complicated, but
Speaker 1: she keeps making it worse because her answers are absurd.
Speaker 1: It's nonsensical. I mean, here she is telling everybody with
Speaker 1: no trace of irony here with zero self awareness. Vice
Speaker 1: President Harris, who thinks she's soon to be president. Harris
Speaker 1: is out there telling people listen to this play too.
Speaker 1: I also believe that if you want to fix a problem,
Speaker 1: you have to go to where the problem exists. If
Speaker 1: you want to address the needs of a people, you
Speaker 1: must meet those people. You must spend time with those people,
Speaker 1: because the only way we can actually fix the problem
Speaker 1: is to understand the problem. The problem is at our border.
Speaker 1: But she doesn't seem to understand, maybe because she refuses
Speaker 1: to go Here's she just telling you, if you want
Speaker 1: to fix it, you have to go to where it is,
Speaker 1: exactly Kamala, and you refuse to do that, and then
Speaker 1: you lecture us as though you are doing that, which
Speaker 1: makes everyone think, is she just obduse? Is there some
Speaker 1: kind of a disconnect. It's as though she does not
Speaker 1: understand what is so obvious to everybody else. But she's
Speaker 1: upsetting pretty much all sides on this border trip. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry on this immigration Central America talk about the US
Speaker 1: border without going their trip, and some of them are
Speaker 1: upset that she's even willing to say with The Democrats
Speaker 1: have to pretend they believe which is that people shouldn't
Speaker 1: come into the country illegally. So, I mean, here, here's
Speaker 1: a here's a left wing media host on the View,
Speaker 1: the dumbest talk show on television, Play seven. But I
Speaker 1: was a little surprised at the clumsiness of her language
Speaker 1: because she said, you know, don't come, don't come, and
Speaker 1: she was, I think, referring to illegal passage into the
Speaker 1: United States as opposed to seeking legal asylum, which is
Speaker 1: what Alexandrio Cassio Cortes is talking about. And of course
Speaker 1: this country was founded on immigration, founded on people coming
Speaker 1: here legally and seeking asylum. But using those terms, so
Speaker 1: those words don't come, don't come, I think is pretty inflammatory,
Speaker 1: and I think that's why she's getting so much pushback
Speaker 1: because because of those words. I mean, the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: just ruled this week that people that come here illegally
Speaker 1: and stay here for twenty years still can't apply for
Speaker 1: a green cart because of the circumstances by which they
Speaker 1: came to this country. And so, of course you shouldn't
Speaker 1: come here illegally. But our vice president could have done
Speaker 1: I think a better job in terms of her language. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a legal analyst on the View Sonny Houston,
Speaker 1: who seems to not understand immigration law. She notes at
Speaker 1: the end that yes, you cannot apply for legal status
Speaker 1: in this country if you came here illegally, even twenty
Speaker 1: years ago. We know a lot of people that didn't
Speaker 1: come twenty years ago. They came, you know now, a
Speaker 1: year ago, two months ago now. But the part that
Speaker 1: keeps getting left out and AOC and the other far
Speaker 1: left propagandists don't want you to pay any attention to
Speaker 1: is that the people showing up now at the border
Speaker 1: who are being apprehended, they are all breaking the law.
Speaker 1: They are doing what is the equivalent of trespassing on
Speaker 1: US sovereign territory over an international border. They refuse to
Speaker 1: go through the ports of entry. They don't want to
Speaker 1: have to wait, so they just show up and they walk,
Speaker 1: they literally walk into America and say here I am,
Speaker 1: give me asylum. And they're not actually people that overwhelmingly
Speaker 1: are worthy of asylum. This is just the reality. I
Speaker 1: want to be an economic migrant, I want to have
Speaker 1: better opportunities for jobs is not an asylum claim. Lying
Speaker 1: to the border patrol, by the way, is also a crime.
Speaker 1: So people who say I am fleeing political violence when
Speaker 1: really they're actually looking for a better job or they
Speaker 1: want to live with other family members who are already
Speaker 1: in the US are also breaking the law. This is lawlessness,
Speaker 1: and Democrats don't get to have it both ways. They
Speaker 1: don't get to have the state drag people, you know,
Speaker 1: by the scruff of the neck out of church for
Speaker 1: failing to dumble mask like a bunch of morons. The
Speaker 1: fact that we have to do that, the fact they
Speaker 1: ever told this that isn't an embarrassing They should be
Speaker 1: ashamed of themselves. Fauci, that little fascist the worst. But
Speaker 1: they want the state to drag you out for that
Speaker 1: because it's the law. It's really an executive order, but
Speaker 1: it's the law. And on this issue, though, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, immigration laws just don't count. Doesn't really matter anymore.
Speaker 1: And keep in mind, we have a de facto open border,
Speaker 1: we have coyotes, the cartel's making huge sums of money
Speaker 1: over this. It's just an unsustainably lawless, reckless situation. And
Speaker 1: AOC the radical left of the Democrat Party, which is
Speaker 1: increasingly calling all the shots, is out there complaining that
Speaker 1: the Biden policies aren't humane enough. Play five. Well, I
Speaker 1: think the issue here, and first of all, you know,
Speaker 1: I think this is not just about the Vice president.
Speaker 1: This is about the Biden Administration's immigration policy writ large
Speaker 1: is not working. It's wrong, and it's inhumane. Why what
Speaker 1: is inhumane about it? If AOC wants every Latin American,
Speaker 1: or for that matter, developing country all over the world
Speaker 1: migrant just be able to come to America, she should
Speaker 1: be honest about that and say that she wants full
Speaker 1: on open borders and a dissolution of the current legal
Speaker 1: immigration system that America has. That's the only honest position
Speaker 1: that she could have, because otherwise she's just another person
Speaker 1: who's complaining about a system that is failing, largely because
Speaker 1: Democrats refuse to enforce the laws that are on the books,
Speaker 1: and they keep saying it's inhumane. I just want to know,
Speaker 1: do you want to pay for every person from all
Speaker 1: over the world who wants to come to America in
Speaker 1: whatever numbers they want to come to America? Do you
Speaker 1: want to be responsible for their health care, for their education,
Speaker 1: for the massive expansion of the welfare state that we
Speaker 1: all know is going to happen, is already happening as
Speaker 1: a result of a huge influx of illegal immigrants into
Speaker 1: the country. Yes, illegal immigrants are more likely to need
Speaker 1: state assistance, more likely to show up in an emergency
Speaker 1: room demanding free healthcare, free health services. You know, there's
Speaker 1: just so much dishonesty around this issue, and it's awful.
Speaker 1: And then there's the other part of this too, which
Speaker 1: is the so that the is the we're not humane
Speaker 1: enough because you know, taking two million illegal immigrants into
Speaker 1: America this year roughly, that's what the numbers are looking like.
Speaker 1: You know, that's we're not nice enough as a people.
Speaker 1: A million legal immigrants, two million illegal immigrants. Why not
Speaker 1: twenty Ask AOC, ask a Democrat? Why not just let
Speaker 1: anyone who wants to come into the country come into
Speaker 1: the country. And they don't have an answer for you.
Speaker 1: They'll say something like, well, you know, we have a
Speaker 1: system and we have laws. No, but you don't want
Speaker 1: the laws to be enforced. You oppose at every stage Democrats,
Speaker 1: those laws to actually be implemented. So that's just dishonest.
Speaker 1: You're just lying about what you really want here, which
Speaker 1: is what they do all the time. Yes, AOC calls
Speaker 1: him inhumane, and everyone seeing that the Biden administration doesn't
Speaker 1: have any answers on immigration that it's willing to say
Speaker 1: out loud, and that Kamala Harris is just flailing on
Speaker 1: this trip and everyone seeing this is the person the
Speaker 1: Democrats really want to make the next president of the
Speaker 1: United States. Please, when you've lost CNN and you're Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: you know things are going badly. This is a CNN piece.
Speaker 1: Unnamed White House insiders were left perplexed by the performance
Speaker 1: of Vice President Kamala Harris on a recent trip to
Speaker 1: Guatemala and Mexico to address the root causes of immigration
Speaker 1: problems at the US southern border. Early in the administration,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden assigned Harris the unenviable task. Oh yes, because
Speaker 1: that's notice how they make it sound like it's not
Speaker 1: Harris's fault. It's an unenviable task of ostensibly overseeing the
Speaker 1: hot button political issue. Harris's team subsequently made clear her
Speaker 1: focus would be on these systemic issues at play, focusing
Speaker 1: on the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras, and El
Speaker 1: Salvador from which a majority of border migrants come. Harris
Speaker 1: has been a lightning rod for criticism. Yeah, you don't say, okay, anyway,
Speaker 1: I just even the White House is like, my gosh,
Speaker 1: she's making a mess of this thing. But notice that
Speaker 1: there's a trend here. It's important you see this. The
Speaker 1: left has a ideological framework that applies to many issues,
Speaker 1: and in this case, what you're seeing is this system,
Speaker 1: the systemic causes component coming to the forefront all over again. Right.
Speaker 1: It's just like what you see with the law enforcement
Speaker 1: crisis across the country, or the lack of law enforcement
Speaker 1: because we're undermining cops. We're undermining our law enforcement officers,
Speaker 1: and so you have spiking murder rates. Instead of dealing
Speaker 1: with the problem directly, more cops on the streets, more
Speaker 1: prosecution of violent criminals, lock up violent criminals, longer, back
Speaker 1: up our cops when they have to defend themselves and others.
Speaker 1: Instead of going right to it, they want to take
Speaker 1: some roundabout politically expedient route. Oh, let's hire more social workers.
Speaker 1: Let's defund the police, which actually caused the problem. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at it. You can line these two issues up.
Speaker 1: You can line up the border, and you can line
Speaker 1: up defund the police and the crime surge in this country,
Speaker 1: and you see a tremendous commonality here. It's very obvious, right,
Speaker 1: how does it all start. Biden administration comes in. Biden
Speaker 1: administration comes in, gets rid of remade in Mexico, speaks
Speaker 1: very differently about the border, doesn't want to do interior
Speaker 1: enforcement everybody. It's wide open, okay. Biden administration in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty is supportive in the campaign of the BLM movement,
Speaker 1: then comes into office, all the focuses on the January
Speaker 1: sixth insurrection and not on the riots that occurred then
Speaker 1: and the violence that's occurring now because of the undermining
Speaker 1: of cops. So Biden's worldview. The Democrat Party essentially because
Speaker 1: Biden just does what his handlers say, is responsible for
Speaker 1: the creation of a problem, right, making something substantially worse,
Speaker 1: and then instead of addressing it in the obvious way
Speaker 1: in the border, securing the border, turning people away, deporting
Speaker 1: those immediately who do not show up for their hearings,
Speaker 1: deporting those immediately who are on the list to be deported,
Speaker 1: and turning away people that have false asylum claims that
Speaker 1: are obviously false, raising the credible fear standard to a
Speaker 1: point where it actually means something. Instead of doing any
Speaker 1: of that, they want to deal with the root cause
Speaker 1: of migration in Central America, which on it in a
Speaker 1: best case, is gonna maybe help the problem a little
Speaker 1: bit in a number of years if they put a
Speaker 1: lot of resources in time into it. Doesn't that sound
Speaker 1: just like their approach to law enforcement and defund the
Speaker 1: police adding social workers. You've got shootings and murders spiking
Speaker 1: fifty percent, sixty percent, seventy percent in cities across the
Speaker 1: country year over year. And instead of saying, let's stop
Speaker 1: the bad guys from shooting people, let's put more cops
Speaker 1: on the street, let's back them up, let's deal with
Speaker 1: the problem, the Democrats want to deal with. Oh, the
Speaker 1: root sys systematic or systemic causes of this, that's what
Speaker 1: we have to do. Let's have more social workers, Let's
Speaker 1: have you know, more after school programs or what. Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe we could even say that some of
Speaker 1: those things are are reasonable ideas or of the long run,
Speaker 1: although I think the social workers instead of cops thing
Speaker 1: is just insane. But anyway, you know, because they're already
Speaker 1: are social workers. And I got news for you. Social
Speaker 1: workers don't want to respond to a domestic violence call.
Speaker 1: They don't not without a cop there. You know, psychiatric
Speaker 1: personnel don't want to respond to an emotionally disturbed person
Speaker 1: call not without a cop there. But you see how
Speaker 1: they do the same thing. The same fundamental fallacies apply.
Speaker 1: Democrats have a worldview that is wrong when it comes
Speaker 1: to cause an effect, that is wrong when it comes
Speaker 1: to history, that is wrong when it comes to who
Speaker 1: the good guys are, who the bad guys are, who's
Speaker 1: breaking the law, who's supporting the law. And this means
Speaker 1: that they're just making wrong choices over and over again
Speaker 1: on the border, a law enforcement on any number of issues, right,
Speaker 1: and this is you see what I mean. Though they
Speaker 1: cause the problem, then they won't address it directly because
Speaker 1: the indirect approach allows them to pander to their base
Speaker 1: and have this social justice first approach to something that's
Speaker 1: really a law enforcement issue in both cases, the border
Speaker 1: and the murder rate spike in this country, And then
Speaker 1: when they really want to just push something that's nonsensical,
Speaker 1: they go back to the historical the historical framework for something. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: maybe we want to stop Central Americans from coming into
Speaker 1: America illegally by the hundreds of thousands a month, but
Speaker 1: it's really our fault. You see, it's our fault that
Speaker 1: people are leaving Central America. America's fault, your fault, my
Speaker 1: fault because of US history in the region. You knew
Speaker 1: this was coming. Joy and Reid said over on MSNBC
Speaker 1: the following you got to hear at play six. There
Speaker 1: are seven countries in Central America. There's another dozen countries
Speaker 1: in two sort of territories in South America. We'reking at
Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty three million people in South America.
Speaker 1: It's something like what forty four million people in Central America.
Speaker 1: The United States southern border with Mexico is not the
Speaker 1: only important issue that matters to the world. Those seven
Speaker 1: countries have a long history with the United States, much
Speaker 1: of it troubling. The United States used much of Central
Speaker 1: America as essentially a giant plantation. Google the United Fruit Company.
Speaker 1: We have a long, sordid, torrid history with this region.
Speaker 1: The history does not begin at the border where people
Speaker 1: are showing up. That is not the only important thing
Speaker 1: that matters. There's a whole history that long proceeds people
Speaker 1: arriving at the border between Mexico and the United States.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that she has Google and could do a
Speaker 1: quick search of the United Fruit Company and the history
Speaker 1: of n America before she went on air to pretendially
Speaker 1: knows something about these issues. But I will just say this,
Speaker 1: we want a secure border. I don't care what the
Speaker 1: US was doing in Central America in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1: I want a secure border. I don't care what the
Speaker 1: US was doing when it comes to agricultural policy a
Speaker 1: century ago. I want to secure border. We've been to
Speaker 1: the border. We've been to the border. You haven't been
Speaker 1: to the border, and I haven't been to Europe as well,
Speaker 1: So then you do see the cool flexity. Listen, I've
Speaker 1: been to the border before. I will go again. But
Speaker 1: when I'm in Guatemala dealing with root causes, I think
Speaker 1: we should have a conversation about what's going on in
Speaker 1: Guatemala or so, can you commit right now that you
Speaker 1: will indeed visit the US Mexico border until you do
Speaker 1: it soon, Jeremy, let me tell you something, But yes,
Speaker 1: I will, and I have before. Yeah, she's really on
Speaker 1: top of the issue, folks, she really gets it. You know.
Speaker 1: It's funny too, is that is that the Democrats they
Speaker 1: can't get on the same sheet of music. About this
Speaker 1: because while some are pretending, you know, the the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: because at the national level, they know that fifty one
Speaker 1: percent of the American people are not down with an
Speaker 1: open border. They're not and so they have to play
Speaker 1: this game. But those Democrats who get to be the
Speaker 1: far lefties because they either have a congressional district or
Speaker 1: even a state that's so blue that people are absurd
Speaker 1: and don't understand cause and effect and don't know anything
Speaker 1: about what's really happening at the border. You got people
Speaker 1: like Bernie Sanders running around saying, you know, we should
Speaker 1: actually make it even easier for people to come into
Speaker 1: America illegally. Play eight. You said, the wall is symbolic
Speaker 1: and it represents so wouldn't it be proper to tear
Speaker 1: that symbol down in order to achieve that it? Maybe,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's how much its gonna cost the
Speaker 1: tearer down? Should you do that tearing down? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe the answer is yes, that's something that's something you're
Speaker 1: willing to consider. Yeah, you're willing will tearing down exhibiting
Speaker 1: fencing between us. But again, if it's going to cost
Speaker 1: me billions of dollars to tear it down. Our rather
Speaker 1: investment maybe and the needs for childcare in this country.
Speaker 1: But it's something you know, we can look at. It's
Speaker 1: something we can look at. Why would you look at that?
Speaker 1: What possible purpose could there be in tearing down a
Speaker 1: section of border wall that to a man to a person,
Speaker 1: border patrol will tell you walls fences help make their
Speaker 1: job easier. I've never heard anybody in border patrol say
Speaker 1: anything different. Of all the people I have to talk
Speaker 1: to you in border patrol, in in you know, customs
Speaker 1: and Immigration enforcement, never heard anybody say anything different than that.
Speaker 1: Who's a actual employee and civil servant of those organizations.
Speaker 1: Maybe you'll hear political people say something different. So why
Speaker 1: would you tear down some of the wall. Well, because
Speaker 1: you're trying to play kate the radical left wing open
Speaker 1: borders base. That's why. That's the only reason why. There's
Speaker 1: no other reason that you could give. And if you're
Speaker 1: somebody who really believes that we shouldn't we shouldn't be
Speaker 1: able to have sovereignty, why is America? I always want
Speaker 1: to ask these internationalist libs Marxists this question. Why is
Speaker 1: it that America is the only country in the world
Speaker 1: that anybody wants to go to that is not allowed
Speaker 1: to determine who comes and who goes. Try to just
Speaker 1: show up sometime in a country that requires a visa
Speaker 1: for a US entry and say no, but I really
Speaker 1: want to be here. I think I have a better
Speaker 1: chance at a job here. I want to be here.
Speaker 1: Try to do that, You're going to be put on
Speaker 1: a plane, sent back home and probably detained for many hours,
Speaker 1: maybe a day or two in uncomfortable additions, and told
Speaker 1: you know you're not coming in. That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Are all those countries racist? Is it always racism that
Speaker 1: results in people not wanting an open border because the
Speaker 1: rest of the world is allowed to have borders. Somehow
Speaker 1: America is not allowed to have borders. Why is that interesting,
Speaker 1: isn't it? And as we all know, if it were
Speaker 1: about safety, there are plenty of places in Mexico where
Speaker 1: Central Americans would have much eat and much easier time
Speaker 1: linguistically and culturally and are perfectly safe. There are a
Speaker 1: lot of parts of Mexico, plenty of states in Mexico
Speaker 1: that people have low crime rates, and it's not you know,
Speaker 1: I know there are bad parts of Mexicans too. They're
Speaker 1: bad parts of the US. Maybe you go go check
Speaker 1: out what it's like these days in some parts of
Speaker 1: Baltimore or the South side of Chicago, or there are
Speaker 1: parts of the US with really high crime rates too.
Speaker 1: But this is not about what's true, folks, This is
Speaker 1: not about what's really going on. This is about feelings.
Speaker 1: You see, Democrats are always motivated by how they feel
Speaker 1: on these issues and how it makes them feel about themselves.
Speaker 1: That's the most important thing. That's why the virtue signaling
Speaker 1: impulse is so powerful among the Libs. That's why they
Speaker 1: believe so strongly in all of this. AOC is among
Speaker 1: the She's really it's like, it's like idiot leftists who
Speaker 1: just graduated college created a pseudo Marxist member of Congress
Speaker 1: and like, you know, on a computer and then built
Speaker 1: one you know, like like like like they they created
Speaker 1: the perfect distillation of faculty lounge left wing idiocy and
Speaker 1: made it made an actual person based upon those upon
Speaker 1: those parameters, you get a see and here she is
Speaker 1: telling everybody because again part of this is there's a
Speaker 1: liberal guilt, like we have to take in as many
Speaker 1: people from the third world as possible. Into America illegally.
Speaker 1: We're already were already taken refugees, We're already taken a
Speaker 1: million league immigrants. We have to just make it so
Speaker 1: that whoever wants to show up and can get here
Speaker 1: on foot can come into the country because we owe
Speaker 1: it to them. We the American people, owe it to them.
Speaker 1: And remember, you know your tax dollars will go to
Speaker 1: support these individuals, and those taxes are taken from you
Speaker 1: by force by the state, and that AOC and the
Speaker 1: rest of Democrats ultimately will support men with guns showing
Speaker 1: up to your home to drag you away and lock
Speaker 1: you in a cell if you refuse to pay those
Speaker 1: taxes to support the massive welfare state and the monetary
Speaker 1: policies necessary for the Biden administration to do what it
Speaker 1: wants with the incredible spending increases that we're seeing. So
Speaker 1: you're not given a choice in any of them. And
Speaker 1: they will support men with guns locking you up if
Speaker 1: because the law is the law. Right, the laws the law,
Speaker 1: say the authoritarian Democrats until they don't like the law,
Speaker 1: and then you know, when it's immigration time at come on,
Speaker 1: laws don't count. And we say that's hypocritical, and they
Speaker 1: say exactly, this is about power. We don't care that
Speaker 1: it's hypocritical. Don't you see that It doesn't sting them,
Speaker 1: It doesn't upset them. They don't have any principles, so
Speaker 1: telling them they're unprincipled has no effect. So that's how
Speaker 1: you get where we are right now. And it's also
Speaker 1: why there's so much virtue signaling among the left when
Speaker 1: it comes to the immigration issue, AOC citing how we
Speaker 1: owe it to these migrants crossing into America illegally because
Speaker 1: America has done so much bad climate change stuff that
Speaker 1: the climate change has made it bad in Central America,
Speaker 1: and so that's why they're fleeing. So it's really our fault.
Speaker 1: Plate ten. This is also climate policy that is impacting
Speaker 1: the global South disproportionately. Even though these farmers and these
Speaker 1: folks in Central and South America contributed to climate change
Speaker 1: the least in terms of their carbon emissions, they are
Speaker 1: experiencing the ravages the most right now and first, and
Speaker 1: so US climate policy has contributed to this. US foreign policy,
Speaker 1: US economic and trade policy has helped contribute to conditions
Speaker 1: that that people are fleeing just not true. I mean
Speaker 1: and want to say it's not true. It's it's absurd.
Speaker 1: Central America is getting the worst of the climate change
Speaker 1: brunch right now. Really, this is an argument that a
Speaker 1: person is making who expects to be treated like she
Speaker 1: knows anything and has and it has even a baseline
Speaker 1: of necessary intelligence to wax philosophical on these issues. Really,
Speaker 1: apparently it's our climate policy that's making people leave from
Speaker 1: Central America. I just want to know. Was it our
Speaker 1: climate policy that was making things so rough in Central
Speaker 1: America in the nineteen eighties? Oh? No, that would be
Speaker 1: our foreign policy. Somehow, It's always our fault, right, And
Speaker 1: it's not the communists. It's not the Sandinista's fault. What
Speaker 1: happened the nineteen eight It's not the Soviet Union's fault. No, No,
Speaker 1: it's all our fault. It's amazing how this sell this
Speaker 1: constant desire for self purification through showy victimhood. Oh we
Speaker 1: were so bad, Look what America did. I'm not one
Speaker 1: of those bad people, though, is central to the Democrat ethos.
Speaker 1: It's just pathetic afterwhile, isn't it. The amount of impact
Speaker 1: you and I have had on Central America's climate is zero.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about it. It's absurd. This
Speaker 1: is crazy person talk. Oh, it's what AOC is talking about. Though, Yes,
Speaker 1: we have to look at root causes, but there's a
Speaker 1: crisis at the border right now today. You have to
Speaker 1: address that today while you look at the root causes
Speaker 1: down the road. I think also part of leading is
Speaker 1: optics and showing that and showing what you care about
Speaker 1: and what your goals are and going into the border
Speaker 1: would have made a big difference. This has been a
Speaker 1: discussion for weeks. I'm not sure why it hasn't happened.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of easier you've said, been done, but
Speaker 1: perhaps should have been a priority. Perhaps, yeah, yeah, when
Speaker 1: you've lost Mikah, when people who will say anything on
Speaker 1: TV as long as NBC Universal keeps sending those big
Speaker 1: paychecks to them, when you have got somebody will say
Speaker 1: anything on TV and knows that her job is to
Speaker 1: just constantly pump up and praise Biden, Harris, all of them,
Speaker 1: and she's saying, yeah, maybe maybe it should have been
Speaker 1: a priority. I also think it's funny too easier said
Speaker 1: than done. No, it's actually really easy. As the vice president,
Speaker 1: this is US soil. If everybody was saying, if there
Speaker 1: was a huge crisis. You know, in in Topeka, Kansas.
Speaker 1: We're all worried about Topeka. Don't you think that the
Speaker 1: vice president would be expected to go there. No, we're
Speaker 1: not even asking her to go to a foreign country.
Speaker 1: When we say the border, it just means go down
Speaker 1: to a part of America that is close to another country.
Speaker 1: This is not hard. So I think it's funny, and
Speaker 1: she goes, oh, it's easier said than done. No, it's
Speaker 1: actually easier done than said. For Kamala Harris, you just go,
Speaker 1: just go. It's not not challenging at all. But I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I just, oh, my gosh, it's so pathetic. This administration
Speaker 1: is such a joke, such a joke. You know, there
Speaker 1: were things about the Trump administration stylistically and in terms
Speaker 1: of you know that my big beef, and I don't
Speaker 1: want to be a broken record on this, My big
Speaker 1: beef was a lot of the personnel decisions, and notably
Speaker 1: the my kids are going to be my top advisor's decision.
Speaker 1: That was a huge mistake from the very beginning, totally wrong,
Speaker 1: totally gross, and people just didn't want to say. I
Speaker 1: said it on this show, and I got a lot
Speaker 1: of heat for it from folks. But I was right,
Speaker 1: and you know I was right. And if you think
Speaker 1: I'm If you think I wasn't right, go ask anybody
Speaker 1: who worked in this White House what it meant to
Speaker 1: have Jared Kushner have full determination on who got access
Speaker 1: to the President of the United States and who did.
Speaker 1: Not a liberal, folks, a liberal, would you want Joe
Speaker 1: Biden or Kamala Harris to basically be the de facto
Speaker 1: chief of staff under the Biden under a Trump administration? No,
Speaker 1: So I was telling the truth and I wanted to
Speaker 1: do something about it. But so much easier for people
Speaker 1: in the media just run around maga. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: conservative media. No what, no one everybody wanted to cheer
Speaker 1: for the good stuff. Nobody wanted to be the coach
Speaker 1: at halftime that's said, I want this team to win. Therefore,
Speaker 1: here's what Trump needs to do. People didn't want to
Speaker 1: hear it, and we lost this last election. Ah, you
Speaker 1: can tell me, oh, bak, you know they cheated or
Speaker 1: they who's the president now? Right? I still focus in
Speaker 1: on results first and foremost. We deal with reality. Friends.
Speaker 1: We're not liberals. We don't create an alternate universe. We
Speaker 1: deal with reality. Joe Biden is the president. There were
Speaker 1: things that could have been done differently that would have
Speaker 1: changed that, including fighting against the way that the Democrats
Speaker 1: were changing elections using the pandemic as an excuse to
Speaker 1: change elections in the actual height of the election season.
Speaker 1: But there were aspects of the Trump administration that, as
Speaker 1: you know, I felt the need to sometimes criticize. Overall,
Speaker 1: I think the agenda was very powerful, and I think
Speaker 1: that's what we're going to return to, hopefully with a
Speaker 1: I believe a descentist twenty twenty four run with Trump's backing,
Speaker 1: and that's that's a winning a winning ticket, I believe.
Speaker 1: But we knew with Trump that there were some aspects
Speaker 1: of this that we're gonna be. You know, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a show. You know, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a little rough around the edges sometimes. It
Speaker 1: was also gonna be very amusing, and it was. And
Speaker 1: the way that he took it to the media was incredible.
Speaker 1: And finally people really understand that journalism is a fraud
Speaker 1: in this country. As a profession. It doesn't really exist.
Speaker 1: There are some people who can do journalism, but it's
Speaker 1: not it's not a profession anymore. It does not if
Speaker 1: you believe the journalism is people actually speaking without political
Speaker 1: impetus and pushing agendas. But what's funny to me is
Speaker 1: that this Biden administration, given what we were promised and
Speaker 1: now what we're seeing, it's pretty hilarious, isn't it. They
Speaker 1: didn't say, yeah, Biden's gonna be too old and we're
Speaker 1: not really gonna hear that much from him, but you
Speaker 1: know it's it's gonna be uh, he's gonna be a
Speaker 1: that relies on the advisor. No, we were told that
Speaker 1: Biden and Harris, we're gonna do a great job. Biden
Speaker 1: and Harris, We're going to restore our democracy, our faith
Speaker 1: in government. They're gonna get all these amazing things done.
Speaker 1: They're gonna do all this great stuff. Like what I
Speaker 1: mean the people that are saying, look at the vaccines.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, the operation warp speed of the Trump administration
Speaker 1: got a record time vaccine program done, and then the
Speaker 1: Biden administration inherited a vaccine distribution plan and just played
Speaker 1: out the plan. Yeah. I'm sure they made some adjustments
Speaker 1: anybody would have, but that's it. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: like saying, oh, Biden, you know, funded the military. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: we kind of expect that. You know, what's the what's
Speaker 1: the difficult decision that's been made here? What is the
Speaker 1: choice that that Biden Harris has made that has resulted
Speaker 1: in a better America for a vast majority of the
Speaker 1: people who live here. They don't have it even you're
Speaker 1: starting to hear that the Democrats are getting frustrated because
Speaker 1: they can't get what they want. Here's here's a little
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer talking about the GOP and negotiations over infrastructure
Speaker 1: bill play eleven. Well, look, we have to we're proposing
Speaker 1: we're pursuing a two path proposal. On the one hand,
Speaker 1: there's bipartisan negotiations and those are continuing the first world
Speaker 1: between President Biden and Senator Capitau with just Republicans. Those
Speaker 1: seem to be running into a brick wall. But a
Speaker 1: bipartisan group led by Senator Cinema and I think Senator
Speaker 1: Portman as the lead Republican, are trying to put something
Speaker 1: together that might be closer to what the President needs
Speaker 1: and sore. That's good, but that's not going to be
Speaker 1: the only answer. We all know as a caucus, we
Speaker 1: will not be able to do all the things that
Speaker 1: the country needs in a totally bipartisan in a bipartisan way.
Speaker 1: And so at the same time, we are pursuing the
Speaker 1: pursuit of reconciliation, and that is going on at the
Speaker 1: same time. And it may well be that part of
Speaker 1: the bill that will pass will be bipartisan and part
Speaker 1: of it will be through reconciliation. But we're not going
Speaker 1: to sacrifice the bigness and boldness in this bill. We
Speaker 1: will just pursue two paths and at some point they
Speaker 1: will join. Get ready for the partisan steamroller. Friends, whatever
Speaker 1: they can do, even if they have to abuse the
Speaker 1: process to use the process, the Democrats will. Fellow New Yorkers,
Speaker 1: it's time to move on to unmask ourselves and our kids.
Speaker 1: That is the piece in the New York Post opinion
Speaker 1: section from our friend Carol Markowitz, who has been a
Speaker 1: warrior for the truth during this pandemic the whole time. Carol,
Speaker 1: great to have you as always, Thank you, Buck, thanks
Speaker 1: for having me. I gotta tell you the people that
Speaker 1: are still walking around with masks on this this is
Speaker 1: now and I mean this, it's an anxiety disorder. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a mental this is now mental illness. And
Speaker 1: I know they don't want to believe that because they
Speaker 1: believe the science, and they believe the science the whole time.
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, And those of us who were
Speaker 1: saying all along that anyone who's vaccinated really should have
Speaker 1: no concern about whether someone else is vaccinated or not,
Speaker 1: we never should have, like, let this get conceded to
Speaker 1: the other side as an argument because it's absurd. And
Speaker 1: now there's all these problems. I mean, Carol, did you
Speaker 1: just give us a sense of some of the where
Speaker 1: are some of the places where? I mean, this is
Speaker 1: true in New York, but it's true in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: it's true in a lot of cities across the country.
Speaker 1: They're these like remnants of faucism. What's still out there? Yeah, So,
Speaker 1: you know, people say to me all the time, like
Speaker 1: why do you care about other people masking? Why? Why
Speaker 1: do I care that you know eighty percent of my
Speaker 1: neighborhood still walking around outside post facts in masks. Well,
Speaker 1: the reason I care is because it continues to affect me.
Speaker 1: Last weekend, I took my middle son to a roller
Speaker 1: skating birthday party and Prospect Park, and the rules make
Speaker 1: no sense. To pick up your skates, you need to
Speaker 1: wear a mask. To put on your skates, you can
Speaker 1: take off your mask, but when you're skating in the
Speaker 1: spacious rink with very few people in it, you need
Speaker 1: to put the mask back on. And we got told
Speaker 1: twice by the security guard to adjust our mask, even
Speaker 1: though his own mask was below his nose because it
Speaker 1: was ninety three degrees outside. And then the kicker of
Speaker 1: all this is when it's time to have food and cake.
Speaker 1: It's a really tight area where there's like five birthday
Speaker 1: parties going on, and everybody's on top of each other
Speaker 1: and we're all eating and blowing out candles and singing
Speaker 1: Happy Birthday. And literally, if you had to design where
Speaker 1: masking would ever make sense, it would be in that area.
Speaker 1: But obviously post backs and you know, in June twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, we shouldn't be masking anywhere, But if anywhere,
Speaker 1: it would be there, and there you don't have to mask,
Speaker 1: so none of it makes any sense. It's completely mind boggling,
Speaker 1: And so I care. I care that so many people
Speaker 1: are still masking because it affects me still have these
Speaker 1: rules because all these people are still masking. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: these these remnants, you know, in my building, for example,
Speaker 1: where I am in New York City for everybody listening there,
Speaker 1: I mean I live in a building there are hundreds
Speaker 1: and hundreds of residents, so just to give you it's
Speaker 1: it's a very large building with a ton of people
Speaker 1: coming in and out all the time. And I've basically
Speaker 1: started the mask insurrection. Yeah, I will not tell everybody. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm the one who has pulled down the mask signs
Speaker 1: in the gym. I'm the one who never wears a
Speaker 1: mask in the gym. And now others are finally joining along.
Speaker 1: They come in, they see me because they don't want
Speaker 1: to wear a mask. No one wants to wear a
Speaker 1: mask when they work out. And these are some of
Speaker 1: these guys. I mean they're actually like and girls. They're
Speaker 1: like really good shape, and they're like twenty five or thirty,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they're vaccinated. The idea that they should
Speaker 1: be on the treadmill like heaving into this cloth over
Speaker 1: their mouth is completely insane, and that anyone demands this
Speaker 1: of other people is insane. And they still do it
Speaker 1: in a lot of places. In my lobby, they have
Speaker 1: a big man required indoors. Now I don't comply. But
Speaker 1: there's this weird tension because the people that still think
Speaker 1: this stuff needs to be happening. They they don't want
Speaker 1: to be told that they're silly and kind of dumb.
Speaker 1: They want to still live in this fantasy land that
Speaker 1: they're the normal ones. And by the way, airplanes still
Speaker 1: require it. Cabs ubers any uber anywhere in the country.
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this in in Nebraska right now,
Speaker 1: if you're listening is wherever you are, uber still requires
Speaker 1: you to mask up. Why, Yeah, yeah, it makes no sense,
Speaker 1: and especially you know in situations like airplanes. Again, yeah,
Speaker 1: we all wear our masks, you know, sitting in into
Speaker 1: part on airplanes, and then we all take off our
Speaker 1: masks to eat and drink because that somehow makes sense,
Speaker 1: and then put the masks right back on because you know,
Speaker 1: the aerosols we just we just spit all over the place.
Speaker 1: Aren't going to affect each other. None of it makes sense.
Speaker 1: None of it's made sense for a long time. And
Speaker 1: I have to say that, like in the winter and
Speaker 1: in the fall and last spring, I made my kids
Speaker 1: mask outside because I didn't want to get yelled at
Speaker 1: by anybody. I didn't I didn't want to get it
Speaker 1: into altercation on the street while I'm with my children.
Speaker 1: But now I'm like, bring it, bring it on, let's
Speaker 1: let's let's have a fight in June twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: about masking on the street because I'm not having it anymore.
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. And I'm I'm starting
Speaker 1: to get to the point now where you know, my
Speaker 1: my local grocery store, because I like, you know, the
Speaker 1: I like, you know, fancy coconut waters and things like that.
Speaker 1: You know, So I go into a grocery store. There's
Speaker 1: two that but but but they both actually those kind
Speaker 1: of more standard grocery store and the more sort of
Speaker 1: health food you know, vegan friendly alternative grocery store I
Speaker 1: go to. They both require masks, and I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't want to see that. What I think is so
Speaker 1: unfair is that the way that they always move around
Speaker 1: the discussion so you can never get accountability. Like if
Speaker 1: I go in there without a mask on and and
Speaker 1: somebody tells me and I cause a problem, you know
Speaker 1: that I'll be dragged if I like bring this to
Speaker 1: social media. But people say it's not the fault of
Speaker 1: the employees, I'm like, well, whose fault is it, like,
Speaker 1: you know, show me the person making the decision, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of it has this kind
Speaker 1: of you know, just taking the mask got off and
Speaker 1: waiting for somebody to say something to you, because that's
Speaker 1: the only way we really get out of this. I
Speaker 1: think so many people. Yeah, you know, we started this
Speaker 1: conversation with how many people are just have anxiety about
Speaker 1: removing their masks, and how many people are afraid. But
Speaker 1: I also think there's some large subset of people who
Speaker 1: are just following the crowd, and they don't want to
Speaker 1: stick out, and they don't want to have an argument.
Speaker 1: They don't want anybody to say, hey, why aren't you
Speaker 1: wearing your mask, and so they're wearing it. So those
Speaker 1: of us who are open to having the conversation and
Speaker 1: open to having the argument, we should lead the way
Speaker 1: on this. Speaking to Carol Markowitch, she's got a great
Speaker 1: piece in the New York Post, the editorial page in
Speaker 1: the New York Post, and she talks about what it
Speaker 1: was like taking her son to a party outside roller
Speaker 1: skating and sure enough, you have to wear a mask
Speaker 1: or in the ring, you have to wear a mask.
Speaker 1: Which yeah, which is completely bonkers. But you know, Carol, I,
Speaker 1: you know, I have to say that as as far
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, there needs to be a repudiation of fauciism.
Speaker 1: And this is what this is why, because I've had
Speaker 1: people say, oh, you're too upset about this or something
Speaker 1: I said, and I'm like, I don't think I'm upset enough. Actually,
Speaker 1: because we're while while the reductions are happening, and people
Speaker 1: who live in Florida are like, oh great, um, I
Speaker 1: was just in Miami. There are still plenty of places
Speaker 1: that do the whole the you know, the mask theater
Speaker 1: of you got to wear it when you go to
Speaker 1: the hostess stand in the restaurant, but then you can
Speaker 1: take it like there. It is not a mask free zone.
Speaker 1: People are are wrong when they say that it is
Speaker 1: actually still and we have to repudiate that this. There
Speaker 1: are a few things it did not work, and this
Speaker 1: is still considered a controversial thing to say, but mask mandates,
Speaker 1: mask policies did not work anywhere near as advertised. That's
Speaker 1: one part of this. And the second part of this
Speaker 1: is that you know, they they've just begun to begun
Speaker 1: to see and we've talked about before natural immunity and
Speaker 1: how this doesn't really ever get discussed. The Cleveland Clinic,
Speaker 1: not right wing crazydoc dot com. The Cleveland Clinic just
Speaker 1: did a study of over fifty thousand people and sure enough,
Speaker 1: those who are vaccinated natural vaccinated versus those who are
Speaker 1: have natural immunity, same level of protection for them. What
Speaker 1: a shot. And this is another fight we need to have.
Speaker 1: It's not over. Yeah, absolutely, you know I have to
Speaker 1: My column in Today's New York Post is about New
Speaker 1: Yorker's please take off your masks. But I had another
Speaker 1: one two days ago on Monday, where I talked about
Speaker 1: how we must confront where Fauchi went wrong. He has
Speaker 1: to answer questions. We lived under his insane guidance for
Speaker 1: fifteen months and we did really crazy things over and
Speaker 1: over again, and we need him to answer questions. And
Speaker 1: yet we have this media who's asking him like, Wow,
Speaker 1: how are you so amazing? And that's you know, that's
Speaker 1: what we get from our press. But we really need
Speaker 1: some answers. And one of the things I need answered
Speaker 1: from him is he did not think that the masks
Speaker 1: could contain the virus because the virus is too small,
Speaker 1: and he was talking about medical masks at the time,
Speaker 1: and then we all moved collectively to cloth masks. So
Speaker 1: did the virus grow is without how the cloth masks
Speaker 1: were able to contain it according to his you know calculations.
Speaker 1: I want to hear it from him. I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear it from amateur you know doctors on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I want doctor Fautre to answer what changed his mind
Speaker 1: on masks specifically. It's it's just it's something that there
Speaker 1: will be so much of a of a fight over
Speaker 1: because it did become a cultural and political symbol, as
Speaker 1: we all now know. It did become a sign of
Speaker 1: Democrat tribal allegiance and anti trumpism and all these things.
Speaker 1: And when you add all that together, that I mean
Speaker 1: it is it is my belief that mask wearing as
Speaker 1: people did it in this country, which is, you know,
Speaker 1: put a cloth mask onto take it off sometimes, yet
Speaker 1: sometimes they whatever touching all the time, had zero appreciable
Speaker 1: effect whatsoever on the spread of COVID. That is my
Speaker 1: honest belief. And it has been really all along. Although
Speaker 1: I was open in the beginning to okay, maybe like
Speaker 1: maybe this will actually really work the way we're told
Speaker 1: and if we let this go, for everybody who's like, Buck,
Speaker 1: why are you still on this, You're going to be
Speaker 1: wearing masks on planes for the next two or three
Speaker 1: years minimum, folks at least. Yeah, because they must have
Speaker 1: places where it still goes on to perpetuate this fantasy
Speaker 1: that what they did was worthwhile. Right, absolutely right, And
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, I don't understand the wanting
Speaker 1: to not talk about this anymore, like or just saying like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's over, forget it, Like I can't forget it. I
Speaker 1: can't forget the fact that my five year old today
Speaker 1: is still in school masks my kid. You know, I
Speaker 1: have three kids eleven, eight, and five. They're all masked
Speaker 1: in school. They're all masked at recess. And it's crazy.
Speaker 1: And we continue to do this, and I have no
Speaker 1: faith that we won't continue to do this in the fall.
Speaker 1: Where do you think where do you think we should
Speaker 1: we should draw the line on restaurants here, Carol, because
Speaker 1: there are some places that yeah, there are some places
Speaker 1: that are doing this separate on the honor system based
Speaker 1: on vaccine passports, but they're actually not legally allowed to
Speaker 1: demand but they're kind of like intimidating people into self
Speaker 1: segregating by vax status in restaurants here in New York.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I'm just telling everybody. I may
Speaker 1: end up causing a scene somewhere, like I might be
Speaker 1: some like right wing talk radio host goes viral because
Speaker 1: I'm going to lose my mind on these people. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say who's in charge. I want the manager, like
Speaker 1: I want the owner. I want to know who's actually
Speaker 1: making this decision, right right. It's also amazing, I'll Appundon
Speaker 1: on Twitter pointed this out. But they're putting all the
Speaker 1: unvaccinated people together in one space in a lot of places,
Speaker 1: like here's the vaccinated area, and here's the unvaccinated area,
Speaker 1: and all the unvaccinated people are sitting together, which is
Speaker 1: rescued and just spreading them around. Um, yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: and I don't I also don't know how they're going
Speaker 1: to enforce this, or how they're going to what about
Speaker 1: people who can't get the vaccine or you know, um,
Speaker 1: just for all kinds of medical reasons. Are they just
Speaker 1: never going to be allowed to go to restaurants again? Um?
Speaker 1: What about the fact that this is like the most
Speaker 1: easily forged piece of paper in the world. This vaccine
Speaker 1: card that they gave us with our you know the
Speaker 1: name of the vaccine on it is, it's it's ridiculously
Speaker 1: easy to forge. I just I have no faith in
Speaker 1: this like insane system. I think we need to drop
Speaker 1: it as soon as possible. Carol Mark, what's everybody? Go
Speaker 1: check out her latest in the New York Post. She's
Speaker 1: been one of the very There's been like a handful
Speaker 1: of as Carol, And I gotta say, and I gave
Speaker 1: you real, real props, real high five on this. There's
Speaker 1: the pressure to even just bend the knee a little
Speaker 1: bit on this stuff. Well, yeah, masks, aren't that big
Speaker 1: a deal, even if I'm a way you know, and
Speaker 1: and and you know, oh well, do kids really need
Speaker 1: to be in school? Zoom schools just as good? There
Speaker 1: were so many places, and you held the line, you
Speaker 1: stayed strong on it. So you deserved a lot of
Speaker 1: praise for that. Thank you, and thanks for coming on.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you soon. Thanks so much.
