1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio Act 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Many of you will 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: have heard the news that the greatest ever radio host, 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh passed away today. I know for so many 6 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: of you across the country, as he was for me, 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: he was many things to us. A teacher, a patriot, 8 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: an icon, a friend, a familiar and friendly voice that 9 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: you would listen to and that could make sense of everything, 10 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: that would bring it all together for you, that you 11 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: knew was on your side, that felt the way you 12 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: did about momentous things happening in the country. For decades, 13 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: Rush created an industry in a sense that so many 14 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: of us, including myself now work in, I mean conservative media. 15 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: Without Rush Limbaugh doesn't even feel like it's a thing 16 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: that would be possible, would have been possible. It doesn't 17 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: feel like he could have We could have been here 18 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: without Rush paving the way. And now we no longer 19 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: have that voice to guide us. Now we no longer 20 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: have somebody who has that that gravitas that I know 21 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: so many people who will tell me that they are 22 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: you know, Rush babies, or you know their parents have 23 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: been listening to Rush for twenty years, and it has 24 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: always been the greatest compliment that I've received in this 25 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: business when people say to me, I listened, I listened 26 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: to Rush, and I've added you in. You know, after 27 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: I listened to Rush, if I have time, I get 28 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: to you. I've always taken that as nothing but the 29 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: highest possible compliment for this craft. You know, It's like saying, 30 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: after I watch, after I watch, you know, Tom Bray 31 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: or Michael Jordan play at their absolute peak. You know, 32 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: I'll flip the channel and give you and give you 33 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: some time because Rush is the greatest Russia is the 34 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: greatest that's ever done this. He changed the trajectory of 35 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: this country. He was truly gifted. I will tell you 36 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: I I'll get into some of the more personal side 37 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: of this, but I I learned the craft. I learned 38 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: radio from Rush. By the time I went to work 39 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: for Glenn Beck, now almost ten years ago. The person 40 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: that I would listen to, the person who I would 41 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: hear giving monologues and just speaking to the country. I mean, 42 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: that's what he He had, this gift. You always felt 43 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: like Rush was sitting in the room with you. You You 44 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: always felt like Rush was having a one to one 45 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: conversation with you. It just so happened that it was 46 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: you and millions of other people all across America. And 47 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: he was He was gifted. I been truly gifted. There 48 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: are a lot of people that work in news media 49 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: that they either get lucky or they just put in 50 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: enough hours and they stick it out long enough that 51 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: they get to a privileged position. Rush was in a 52 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: different league. The way that he could weave stories, the 53 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: way that he would hone in on the one detail, 54 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: the one line of a news story that thousands, hundreds 55 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: of thousands of other people would have read, but Rush 56 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: would go in there and he would say, here, here's 57 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: the one thing that you that you need to know 58 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: about this that that other people are either missing or 59 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: don't want you to know about, don't want you to 60 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: talk about. What would the Republican Party even be without Russia? Lumbo? 61 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: What would conservatism in America be? He transcended news and 62 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: was an icon and was somebody who was a cultural phenomenon. 63 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: To have had the reach that he had for as 64 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: long as he did, and to give people some sense 65 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: that they did have a voice before the Internet really 66 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: was a factor. Before Fox News came on board, there 67 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: was Rush, and I know there were other hosts, and 68 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: there were other publications and people that were trying to 69 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: make similar general arguments, but we had this, We had 70 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: this superstar. We had this person who was able to 71 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: take the feelings of the country in one moment and 72 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: not only explain what's so important and educate so many 73 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: of us at the same time, but to make us 74 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: all feel like we were together. There was a community 75 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: in listening to Rush Limbaugh. There was a connection that 76 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: was there, and if you knew somebody else who listened 77 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: to Rush, it was like talking about your faith. It 78 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: was like you found out you were huge fans of 79 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: the same sports team. You know, it's like you just 80 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: met somebody. Oh you're a Dodgers fan. I'm a Dodgers fan. 81 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: You love the Giants. I love the Giants. You know, 82 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: there was there was a bond there, There was a 83 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: commonality for millions of people, and at a time when 84 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: there were so few places you could go. Even though 85 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: half the country roughly is Republican, a little more than 86 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: that I identifies as conservative, and certainly you were talking 87 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: about you know, over one hundred million people in one 88 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one hundred and sixty million people. And 89 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: there are so few places you can go where you 90 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: would hear what you knew to be the truth, and 91 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: you knew it was honest. And I was coming from 92 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: a place of both accessibility and genius. I listened to 93 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: the greats. I knew that radio was something I wanted 94 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: to do without ever actually really having done it. I 95 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: just had a feeling and it was because I listened 96 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: to the best. But no one, no one was ever 97 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: in the same league as Rush. Nobody was ever able 98 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: to capture your attention, make you feel like you are 99 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: both getting the highest level analysis, but you're getting it 100 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: from a close friend. Somebody else out there could do that. 101 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: There are other hosts who have who have their talents 102 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: and their skills, and I recognize what they are and 103 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: I try to learn from them. You know, you know who, 104 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: you know who some of the greats are. You know 105 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: when when Glenn Beck is in his zone telling a 106 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: story and he's he is a gifted a gifted storyteller 107 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: and is has amazing comedic timing. I mean, he has 108 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: a lot of but Glen Glenn would never say that 109 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: you know he was in Russia's category. Of course, no, 110 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: none of us would, right. You know, Sean is massively successful, 111 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: enormously influential, But even even the great Sean Hannity knows 112 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: there's only one Rush. Rush is. Rush is someone who 113 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: I will say now, I worry about what happens in 114 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,559 Speaker 1: the absence of his voice. You know, I've I've talked 115 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: before about the need that we have a conservatism for 116 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: unsinkable and unsinkable aircraft carrier or free speech. Well, we 117 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: did have some in it said we had Rush. They 118 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: couldn't cancel them. They couldn't shut him down, They couldn't 119 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: stop him, They couldn't buy them off, They couldn't threaten 120 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: him into into submission. They couldn't get him to just 121 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: give up and you know, retire early and play golf. 122 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure the pressures on him were enormous, but he 123 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: showed up as a happy warrior day in and day out, 124 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: and he fought until and now this is apparent because 125 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: of the news today. He truly fought until the very end, 126 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: the very end. This was somebody who was who was 127 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: doing his life's work until the last moment that he 128 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: could physically possibly do it. Think about the dedication, think 129 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: about the the the desire for the absolute height of 130 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: excellence in one's life's work, because that's what we're talking 131 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: about with Rush and radio. What his life was devoted 132 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: to was this, this ability to reach so many people. 133 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: What a gift. I mean, he had talent on loan 134 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: from God, as he said, And now I suppose he's 135 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: going back and can thank God in person. It's kind 136 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: of hard to think about. Honestly, what does it feel 137 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: like now making the case in this country? Without Rush, 138 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: we have in a sense lost our most formidable general 139 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 1: for conservatism. That's how I would describe it. We've lost 140 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: the one guy that we knew could go up against 141 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: any movement, against any political machinery. He go toe to 142 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: toe with anybody, and he would make that case and 143 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: he could win. And right now there's nobody who has 144 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: that ability, nobody can step into that role. And then 145 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: it also reminds me of what a debt of gratitude 146 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: I owe to Rush Lamball. There are very few times 147 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: in my life that I could say I did not 148 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: really think something was happening that was happening. As you 149 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: all know, I started in radio almost now nine years ago, 150 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: I think it was. And I didn't even have a 151 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: radio station. I didn't even have a terrestrial a terrestrial 152 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: radio call letters that I could say. I was really 153 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: just doing it an internet stream. And this was early 154 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: on in that I was doing a lie an internet 155 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: stream at the Blaze dot Com. We did it on 156 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: the weekends, the original Saturday Squad. Some of you were 157 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 1: still with me. I'm very honored to this point. I 158 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: remember the first shows that I did. I think I 159 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: had a few dozen people listen, and I mean that 160 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: a few dozen the first few radio shows that I did, 161 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: and then it grew and it grew, and within eighteen 162 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: months or so of starting on radio, I was I'm 163 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: very blessed and I will always be grateful to Glenn 164 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: Beck for putting me in the game and putting me 165 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: in that role. But I I was able to get 166 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: the phone call from Rush's people, and I remember it 167 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: was Kit Carson, who very sadly also passed away some 168 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: years ago. I believe it was brain cancer. I'll remember 169 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: Kit Carson call being his voice. He had a very 170 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: he was a radio guy too, and he was Buck 171 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: Sexton Kid Carson here from the Rush Limball Show. And 172 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: I was just I honestly thought that somebody was having 173 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: a go at me. I thought they were. I thought 174 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: they This was like somebody I worked with at the 175 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: Blaze in no Way and he said, how'd you how'd 176 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: you like to fill in on the Rush Limball Show? 177 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: And this, I suppose would have been like someone, you know, 178 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: going up to a person who felt like they had 179 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: just learned how to how to pilot a you know, 180 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: a sailfish boat or something you know how to just 181 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: and somebody shows up and says, Hey, how'd you like 182 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: to be in charge of one hundred million dollars super 183 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: yacht for the afternoon. I mean, that's kind of what 184 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: it felt like. Oh okay, here we go. And it 185 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: was one of the I've I've had very few moments 186 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: in my career where it felt like I was. I feel, 187 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people for this way. I've 188 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: had to be in the trenches. I've had to earn 189 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: every step that I've gotten, and I've I've been denied 190 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities that I think I should have had. 191 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: And Rush Limball though his show, and it was with 192 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: Rush's direct blessing. So that's why I am thankful to 193 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: him forever. That was like, that was like being handed 194 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: a gift from God. That was something that I got. 195 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: You know, I was blessed, blessed to be able to 196 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: be at the eib MIC with less than two years 197 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: of radio experience behind me, and then to be invited 198 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: back many times. Why do I even have a syndicated 199 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: radio show today? Why why do I have this this 200 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: very fortunate situation of being on over two hundred stations today. 201 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: It's because of Rush Limbaugh. So I'm in a business 202 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: that is only possible because of this man who held 203 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: it up like Atlas for decades, and I had a 204 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: my single biggest breakout of my career. It's the reason 205 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: people say, oh Buck, why didn't you do you know, 206 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: why didn't you go and build a YouTube channel years 207 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: ago or do some of these digital things. Because I 208 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: got a chance at the big at the big fill 209 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: in with Rush, and then I got put on syndicated radio. 210 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: I was on terrestrial radio, and you know that that 211 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: seemed like my destiny, that seemed like my path again, 212 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: only possible because of Rush. And I'm sorry to this 213 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: day I never I never met him, never met him. Um, 214 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: I know that he has talked about me numerous times 215 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: in the past on his show, and I don't know. 216 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: I must have filled in for him, hosted that show 217 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: about a dozen times over the years, something like that, 218 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: and it was always amazing. I'll never forget the first 219 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: time I did it. You know what, let me let 220 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: me just take a moment here, I'll, i'll, I want 221 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: to get into a little bit more about that first 222 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: fill in for for Rush, and we'll talk more about 223 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: his legacy.

And it was all because 272 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: Rush thought that this young guy had some ability and 273 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: we should give him a shot. You know, I'm somebody 274 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: who there are a lot of things in this business 275 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: where people have said we could give him a shot. 276 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: No not him, no, not going to give not gonna 277 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: pull him in, not gonna make him this or that, 278 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: or it's happened to me. I don't talk about it 279 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: on the show, and some people in the business that 280 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: you know have stopped me from getting shots. Some people 281 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: that you would know have prevented me when I really 282 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: needed an opportunity or a job, from getting that job. 283 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: And I know who's done it, and I think they 284 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: should be ashamed. But you know, I won't get into 285 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: it now. I've never done anything to this one person 286 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: in particular, but neither here nor there, Rush gave me 287 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: the shot. Rush changed my life. Not only did he 288 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: teach me about politics for decades, not only was he 289 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: the single greatest voice for our cause for all those years, 290 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: but then I had the unbelievable fortune to be in 291 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: a place where Rush Limbaugh and his team said, we 292 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: think this Buck Saxon guy has some ability, let's give 293 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: him a shot. And then they kept bringing me back, 294 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: and they they got me by putting me on that platform, 295 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: by letting me borrow. I used to say, borrow Uncle 296 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: Rush's maserati for the for the day. That's what I 297 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: called it when I would do a showy. They gave 298 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: me this show. I have it because of Rush Limbaugh. 299 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: I o him a debt of gratitude I can I 300 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: can honestly never pay. And I just want to say 301 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: He is the greatest and thank you Rush, Thank God bless. 302 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, 303 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: Instagram and Twitter. Well, look, if it were easy, it 304 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: would have been done by now. And I think we're 305 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: making progress. I think having a roadmap back that the 306 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: CDC put out is a good thing. Look, it's not 307 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: a matter of whether kids should go back to school, 308 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: it's a matter of how and giving people the guidance. 309 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: I talked to a governor this morning, right, I should 310 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: say yesterday morning time is just a weird thing, but 311 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: around how one are the things that their school can 312 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: be doing. And what was expressing the call was he said, look, 313 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: I know it's not going to be a one hundred 314 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: percent safe, but you give me more measures and I 315 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: can send more people back. And yes there's emotions about this, 316 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: and yes there is. We're just getting new data, but 317 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: being able to say, look, we could do the more 318 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: of these things we can do. Having kids wear masks 319 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: and all the things that we're in the CDC guidelines 320 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: means we can bring kids back. And that's something that 321 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: we have to say committed to and we are. But 322 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: it's not whether it's how many kids have been out 323 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: of school for more than a year, and there have 324 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: been no guidance to schools, relatively speaking, until last week 325 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:19,959 Speaker 1: on what they can do to open up. So hopefully 326 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: we'll now begin to push that process. I wanted you 327 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: to hear that whole thing, because that's Biden COVID advisor 328 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: Andy Slavitt, and he's a blathering moron. This guy's a moron. Okay, 329 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: he ignores all all the things that we've learned, everything 330 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: we've seen, this whole Oh, it's so complicated to send 331 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: kids back to school. No, that's because they've created an 332 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: artificial perception of control and an artificial promise of safety. 333 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: It's not hard. You want to send kids back to school, 334 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: Say hey, everybody, kids are going back to school, end 335 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: of story, open up, let's go. That's it. And then 336 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: if there are any problems, if you've got people who 337 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: are teachers who are older or comorbidities or whatever, they 338 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: check it up with their school district and there should 339 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: be accommodations made so that they can either stay home 340 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: till the vaccinated, which some of them are already vaccinated. 341 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: Understand there are teachers who are vaccinated who still don't 342 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: want to go into the classroom. Still too dangerous. Look, 343 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: this is the nation has embraced a cowardice in day 344 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: to day life right now. Unfortunately, far too many people 345 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: are just the media and social media and all these 346 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: they just live in constant fear. Well, that's because there 347 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: are people who want to control them, and controlling a 348 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: frightened population is much easier. It's also because the people 349 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: in charge won't admit that they've been wrong, that they 350 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: don't really know what they're doing. They've given terrible not 351 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: just advice, they've made horrible decisions for all the rest 352 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: of us. If it were easy, it would have been 353 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: done by now, he says on schools Andy Andy Slavitt. 354 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: And this guy I see his stuff on Twitter. He's 355 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: been a jackass who's wrong about COVID all along, all along. 356 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: His predictions are awful, his assessments are terrible. That's who 357 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: this guy is. And yet he's telling us that it 358 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: would have already been done. It has been done. There 359 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: are private and parochial schools across the country open, and 360 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: Florida is open. Every kid in Florida who wants to 361 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: be in in person instruction is able to under the 362 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: state laws. Right now and has been able to do 363 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: that all along. So someone explained, how is this so difficult? No, 364 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: they're making it so difficult. They're making it so complicated. 365 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: You should really see you should ask this guy. All 366 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: you have to know is when you line up California 367 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: and Florida right now, this is a huge problem for 368 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: the lockdown lives who have been so smug. And I'm 369 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: sorry I do take this personally because they've ruined lives 370 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: here in New York. They've made us all just tremendously 371 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: depressed and anxious, and they've told us it's all for 372 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: our safety. It had to be this bad. They had 373 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: to shut down restaurants. And if you question it, why 374 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: are you trying to kill people? They got all in 375 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: your face and crazy. They were wrong, a bunch of 376 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: hysterical nincompoops freaking out all the time. Where's your fourth mask? 377 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: Quadruple mask? And now when you see what happened in Florida, 378 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: you see what happened in California, and excellent apples to 379 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: apples comparison. Nobody can avoid this anymore. So now the 380 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: lib media is looking for Okay, what are our talking 381 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: points on this? Come on, Biden, experts, What are our talking? 382 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: What do we say now? Because people who aren't complete 383 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: morons can understand that if Florida's a little bit better 384 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: than California in terms of COVID situation and has been 385 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: opened this whole time, what the heck was the benefit 386 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: of locking down California? Someone explained that to me. I 387 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: can tell you who's not going to explain it, Biden. 388 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: COVID advisor Andy Slavitt once again play twelve contrast states 389 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: like Florida and California. California basically in lockdown and their 390 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: numbers aren't that different from Florida. Well, good morning, Stephanie. Look, 391 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: there's so much of this virus that we think we 392 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: understand that we think we can predict that just beyond 393 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: a little bit beyond our explanation. What we do know 394 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: is that the more careful people are, the more they 395 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: mask and social distance, and the quicker we vaccinate, the 396 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: quicker it goes away and the less it spreads. But 397 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: we have got to get better visibility into variants. We 398 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: don't know what role they play large events, etc. But 399 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: you know, this is as we all have learned by 400 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: this time, this is a virus that continues to surprise us. 401 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: It's very hard to predict, and you know all around 402 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: the country. We've got to continue to do a better job. 403 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: And I think I think we are, but we're not 404 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: done yet. Just more blather, more blather, nothing from this guy. 405 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: Did you hear an answer in there? What we know 406 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: is the stuff we've been saying all along is true. Well, 407 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: hold on a second. If what you've been saying along 408 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: is true, what about this huge real life case study 409 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: of California versus Florida, And what Stephanie Rules said isn't 410 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: even really correct. Florida's got better results. It's not that 411 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: the results are closed like that's that's yes, accurate. But 412 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,719 Speaker 1: the more important assessment, the more important takeaway is no, no, no, 413 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: Florida's actually done better than California while being open the 414 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 1: whole time. So if all these things were told to do, 415 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: if all the masks, social distance everything, this is really 416 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: gonna flatten the curve. It's really good. We need all 417 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: these government mandates, we need all this propaganda all the time. 418 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: Do this, do this, do this. We need social media 419 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: companies to prevent open discussion that social media companies are 420 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: disgusting with the censorship. They're engaged in awful the wokeness, 421 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: the woke morons. These people that that go work at 422 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: these places now work in you know, government relations, or 423 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: they work in you know, media relations, or marketing or 424 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: PR or whatever. They don't know, by the way, they 425 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: don't know anything about technology or anything else. They just 426 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: go work in these corporations. Right, They didn't build these things, 427 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: and they're all about the wokeness. And they shut down 428 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: necessary They shut down necessary public debate on a policy 429 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: issue because they wanted to believe that they were right. 430 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: Well they were wrong. They were wrong. The people that 431 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: said you couldn't talk about mask mandates, you couldn't question them, 432 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: you couldn't talk about lockdowns, you couldn't say they didn't work. 433 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: They're wrong, And they used brute force of censorship to 434 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: try to convince people otherwise. They tried to shut down 435 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: this discussion. They were a part of a massive lie here. 436 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: And this Remember I'm not just having some random person 437 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: that I'm playing you the answers from here. This is 438 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: Biden COVID advisor Andy Slavitt. This is supposed to be 439 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: the top, the top expert on this. This guy knows 440 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: all the facts, all the stuff you heard him asked 441 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: about California and Florida. It's well, you know, it's really 442 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff, and we don't know everything, but 443 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: you know we know that everything we tell you was right. 444 00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: That was his answer, wrong, wrong. We can all see 445 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: and I'm not letting this go. This is important. This 446 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: is a reminder about the need to defend your freedom. 447 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: This is important as a reminder about the need to 448 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: hold back government overreach. There's a lot of layers here, 449 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff at work, and we shouldn't 450 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,719 Speaker 1: just pretend like, Okay, we're gonna get past this pandemic 451 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 1: pandemic soon. They're gonna do this again. They want to 452 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: do this again. They loved the control. They were drunk 453 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: with the power. Look at Cuomo, look at Newsome, look 454 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: at Whitmer. You think they're just gonna say, ah, yeah, 455 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: we don't ever want to be in a position where 456 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: we get to determine whose business survives and thrives and 457 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: whose business gets shut down as long as we say so. 458 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,719 Speaker 1: Don't you don't think they like that power, these climate 459 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: change lunatics. You don't think they want to use that 460 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: ability for something else? And all you really have to 461 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: know about this guy Slavitt. I mean with Anie, all 462 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: you have to know is that he's now you know this, 463 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: This for me is the intelligence test the people who 464 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: are suddenly double maskers. Let me be clear, if you 465 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: are double masking for you know, if you're a public 466 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: health expert or somebody who works in me. And by 467 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 1: the way, it's totally different people in a hospital setting 468 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,239 Speaker 1: who are dealing with sick patients, you know whatever, you know, 469 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, additions, whatever, whatever things they want to do. 470 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: I of course you can understand that, right because they're 471 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: clearly being exposed to virus all the time, but in 472 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: a setting where they know they're being exposed, so of 473 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: course they're going to take additional precautions. This is also 474 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: why they have those like papr hoods and all these things. 475 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: Is why they have much more than just a cloth 476 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: mask and a lot of circumstances dealing with COVID patients 477 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: because they understand what the risks are. But I'm talking 478 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: about for every day, for everyday people who are supposed 479 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: to be experts but aren't actually treating COVID patients. If 480 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: they have been wearing two masks all along, I just 481 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: want to know why didn't they believe in the science 482 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: nine months ago, six months ago, three weeks ago. Why 483 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,959 Speaker 1: haven't they been wearing two masks all along? Now suddenly 484 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: they've discovered that this is more effective. Wow. All you 485 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: have to know about somebody is are they suddenly a 486 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: double masker? And if the answer is yes, they are 487 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: a sheep. They're a person that cannot think for themselves. Now, 488 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm not talking to people that are made to do this, 489 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: because guess what that's coming your way too. Already. You 490 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: have a federal courthouse now in New York, where the 491 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: where the rules are. Now we want you to double mask. 492 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: You're gonna see more of it. I told you. It 493 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: starts out with a hey, this is more effective, and 494 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: then it's hey, maybe do this, and then it's do 495 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: this or else. Give it time. You'll probably have double 496 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: masking on on airplanes. Oh yeah, double mask on that airplane. 497 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: Not enough to have a scar for you know, one 498 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: of those gators or whatever. No, No, you got to 499 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: have the full the N ninety five and a cloth mask. 500 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: All this stuff. Here's here's a COVID advisor Slavitt love 501 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: is the way those double masks feel play play eleven. 502 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: Should we be wearing regular masks masks in ninety five? Mask? 503 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: What's the best recommendation at this point? Well, so, if 504 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: you're not wearing a mask at all, wearing a mask 505 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: over the nose and mouth well fitting bingo, that is 506 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: the most important thing. I wear a surgical mask with 507 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: a cloth mask over it, and I do that because 508 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,239 Speaker 1: the surgical mask is good, but it doesn't fit as 509 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: snugly as when I put a second mask over it. 510 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: I think we're learning that the better the mask, the better. 511 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: Not all of us can wear in ninety five. We 512 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: need those for our healthcare workers. But if you have those, 513 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: those are the safest. Otherwise, you know, I think what 514 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm doing feels very effective. You could tell when your 515 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: mask is snug, and if it's not snug, and if 516 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: air's getting out and air it's getting in, then it's 517 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: not doing its job. I told you how many months ago. 518 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: They're going to claim, after the second wave ripped through 519 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: the whole country and we don't stop it, we don't 520 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: even slow it, They're going to claim that we didn't 521 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: mask well enough. That's going to be their answer, because 522 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: I knew and here we are exactly as I said. 523 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: So why is that? Because it's about understanding the mentality 524 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: of the petty authoritarian. It has nothing to do with 525 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: science or medicine or some fancy degree from an Ivy 526 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: League university in microbiology, which a lot of these people 527 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,719 Speaker 1: don't even have. Anyway, it has nothing to do with that. 528 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: It's about understanding the mentality looking at results. It's about 529 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: logic and drawing truthful conclusions based on what people have 530 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: told you and what has happened. If you can do that, 531 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: you know what these lockdown clowns are going to say next, 532 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: as I have, and Slavitt is just another example of it. 533 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I can't explain to you why California is 534 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: worse off than Florida even with the lockdowns. I'm going 535 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: to tell you that we can't open schools. It's too complicated, 536 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: even though schools are open. And oh yeah, now double 537 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: masking is definitely the way to go. Suddenly in the 538 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: middle of February, twelve months into this pandemic. Sure, this 539 00:30:54,720 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. 540 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: It's not a trick question, and I feel like you 541 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: guys have treated it like a trick question. I think 542 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: people just want to know what the White House position 543 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: is on whether or not teachers have to be vaccinated 544 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: for kids to return safely to school. The CDC director 545 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: Rochelle Willinski says, the science is that teachers don't necessarily 546 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: have to be vaccinated for kids to return, and I 547 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: think people want to know what the White House position 548 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: is on that. The White House position is that the 549 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: President vice president believe that teachers should be prioritized for 550 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: receiving the vaccination along with other frontline workers. And in 551 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: at least twenty two states, in the District of Columbia, 552 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: that's exactly what's happening. Prioritize is one thing, and I 553 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,719 Speaker 1: think there's wide agreement they should be prioritized. And why not? 554 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: Is it necessary? Though, that's the question, and really is it? Yes? 555 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: No question? Well, John, I think the real question, frankly, 556 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: if I can be frank here is what you're getting 557 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: to is is it safe for kids to go back 558 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: to school? And the President actually not in this case, 559 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: that's not the question. The question is it's safe for 560 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: teachers to go back to school. And that's that's a 561 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: very specific question in this case. And again I'm not sure. 562 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: I don't understand why. It's a hard question to answer. 563 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: It may be that you want every teacher to be vaccinated. 564 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: It may be the answer is, yeah, teachers should if 565 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: they can be vaccinated before they return to school, but 566 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: it's not necessary. Well, John, I think the President has 567 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: been clear, the Vice president has been clear, and I 568 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: think I was really clear just now that it is 569 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: the administration's position. The President and vice President believe the 570 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: teachers should be prioritized for vaccinations, just can't answer the question. 571 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: They won't answer the question. And I thought that was 572 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: an interesting in exchange, even though I know it was 573 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: on CNN, because I believe that at some level there 574 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: are people who work at CNN, there are libs, there 575 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: are Democrats out there right now who are finding out 576 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: for the first time about this Biden administration that there 577 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: are actually a bunch of clowns, and they don't want 578 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: to tell you the truth about school reopened. They want 579 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,479 Speaker 1: to keep run in these circles, they want to keep 580 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: playing games, because this is about politics, it is not 581 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: about health. I think there are some people on the left, 582 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: believe it or not, Some some Democrats, at least including 583 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: this John Berman at CNN, who are going Hold on 584 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: a second. It is safe for kids. We all know that, 585 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: So is it? Or is it not safe for teachers 586 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: to go back and do their jobs when you have 587 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: already millions and millions of frontline workers of all kinds 588 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: around the country who have been doing their jobs the 589 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: whole time without vaccinations. Yes or no? Why are and 590 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: because if the answer is no, then why are teachers 591 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: so special? Is it because teachers give a lot of 592 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: money to the teacher's unions give a lot of money 593 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: to democrats? So are they really just politicizing schools here 594 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: because of them? Oh? You know, they will never say 595 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: that on CNN, But what they've realized is there is 596 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: no other answer. There's nothing else. They've they've run out 597 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: of maneuver room here. It's just keep now. It's just 598 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: spinning circles, just keep saying nonsense. Exactly what you heard. 599 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: There are schools safe to open? Yes? Should they be open? Yes? 600 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 1: End of story. That's it. There's nothing else. But they 601 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 1: won't say that because there's one hundred and twenty billion 602 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 1: dollars riding on this COVID relief bill for the schools 603 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: and the teachers' unions want all kinds of concessions. They 604 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: want to just squeeze every last drop of benefit they 605 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: can out of this crisis for themselves, for their adult members, 606 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: pretending they're doing it for kids. They're absolutely not doing 607 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: anything for these kids. They're hurting children. Actually, they're hurting 608 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: their development, they're hurting them psychologically, and they don't care. 609 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: It's the other part of this you got remember, they 610 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: simply don't care. They have more important priorities. You're seeing 611 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: this good, good old Grandpa Joe. Grandpa Joe apparently doesn't 612 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: care about the grandkids actually getting back to school anytime 613 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: this year. Oh no, but I'm sure his grandkids all 614 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: go to private school which have been open and which 615 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: have been fine. I wonder why that is what's happening there. 616 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: School choice when it comes to Democrats a huge weakness 617 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: for them because they have no principled argument to make. 618 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: They can't even pretend. And it's true about these school 619 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: lockdowns too, they can't even pretend they have a principal 620 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: argument doesn't exist. This is Buck's first thoughts. The news 621 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: you need to get for your day in forty five minutes. 622 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe on the iHeart Act or wherever 623 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. Joe Biden was sold to the 624 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: American people in this last election as a guy who 625 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: nobody should be unnerved by, no one should be scared enough. 626 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,240 Speaker 1: He's gonna be just fine. He's been around so long. 627 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: You can trust good old Joe. That's the pitch. That 628 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: was what was bought. Unfortunately, in this last election, it's 629 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: where we are, and last night you started to see 630 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: what that actually looks like and even more detailed with 631 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: the CNN town town Hall. Now understand, the CNN town 632 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 1: hall is gonna be skewed. They're gonna pick things that 633 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: make Democrats want to keep watching, and they're going to 634 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: have people that it's almost like the CNN producers are 635 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: writing some of these questions for them. You know, give 636 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: in our concerns about the lack of d and I 637 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: or diversity and inclusion for senior corporate board seats in 638 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: some of our major populous states. What can you do? 639 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: You know stuff, It's like, yeah, that's really what's on 640 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: the top of every American's mind. There was a lot 641 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: of COVID talk last night, and there was a lot 642 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: of meandering nonsense about schools and why they haven't reopened, 643 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: and really just some of the same stuff you've heard 644 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: from Biden along. So I wanted to dive into some 645 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: of this because here's the basic, the basic conclusion that 646 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna come to together. Joe Biden is now a 647 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: man of the left because that's what he has to be, 648 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: because that's what the Democrat Party is. He doesn't have 649 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: any real beliefs, there's no core principles, there's no policy 650 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,800 Speaker 1: goal in mind for him other than be Joe Biden, 651 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: do what the Democrat Party tells you get elected, I 652 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: suppose once again. But now he's the president. He's got 653 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: this job. He's gonna do what they tell him. He 654 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 1: wants the system to be backing him up, and he's 655 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,720 Speaker 1: just whatever they need him to be. It's the whole point. 656 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: Obama ran as a uniter and then governed as a leftist. 657 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 1: Biden ran as well, good old blue collar Joe that 658 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: you know you could trust, who's going to be a moderate, 659 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: and he too, is already governing like a leftist because 660 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 1: this is what the Democrat Party is. The machinery around 661 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: him is what really matters. That's what determines the direction 662 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: of all of his policy goals. That's what determines his 663 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: decision making more than anything else. Here he is, Well, 664 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: let's go through some of these. First of all, this 665 00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: was the one that got a lot of attention immediately 666 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: in the town hall Joe Biden on seeing and there 667 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,919 Speaker 1: was no vaccine when Joe Biden came into office. This 668 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: is what he said, play too. And the biggest thing though, 669 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: as you remember when you and I shouldn't say it 670 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: that way, as you remember, but when you and I 671 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 1: talked last, we talked about it's one thing that the vaccine, 672 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: which we didn't have when we came into office. But 673 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 1: a vaccinator, how do you get the vaccine in the 674 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: someone's arm which we didn't have. We Yeah, there was 675 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: no vaccine. Joe Biden was just down there in a 676 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: lab like a little chemist with some Bunsen burners, and 677 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,399 Speaker 1: it was like, no joke. I got thet I got 678 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 1: the coronavirus vaccine all fixed up. You're no joke, got 679 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: it all good to go down him a Delaware lab, 680 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: full stop. Yeah. Now, people jumped on this because of 681 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 1: course it's not true, but I think it's worth noting 682 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: that the media always gives him a pass they were 683 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: already people tweeting out from the blue check journo set, 684 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: Oh that's not what he that's not what he meant. Okay, 685 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: But it's not their job to say what he meant. 686 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: It's their job to call out what he says something 687 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: that is so clearly untrue. But that wasn't their first impulse. 688 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: So you see from the media what they're really all about. 689 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: You see from the media that this is going to 690 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: be nothing but a cheerleading section for the next four 691 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: years if they have their way the next eight and 692 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,800 Speaker 1: as we know, whenever all of a sudden Kamala Harris 693 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: steps up into the role, whenever that will be, they'll 694 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 1: continue it for Kamala Harris too. This is the plan 695 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: we see all of this. Another area where Biden had 696 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 1: to speak up was on ending the insanity of defund 697 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,839 Speaker 1: the police as a common Democrat talking point for at 698 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: least right now at the national level Play three defund 699 00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 1: the police as discussed as an option for reforming policing. However, 700 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: there are communities where people live in fear not of 701 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: the police, but in fear of the violent gangs who 702 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,479 Speaker 1: commit crimes in those neighborhoods. How can we be sure 703 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: that we don't over legislate police officers so that they 704 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,400 Speaker 1: can't do their job to protect the law abiding citizens 705 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: who live in these high crime neighborhoods, and yet trained 706 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: officers to police with compassion. By number one, not defunding 707 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 1: the police. We have to put more money in police 708 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: work so we have legitimate community policing, and we're in 709 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,760 Speaker 1: a situation where we change the legislation. No one should 710 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,280 Speaker 1: go to jail for a drug offense. No one should 711 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,359 Speaker 1: go to jail for the use of a drug. They 712 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:49,800 Speaker 1: should go to drug rehabilitation. Always speaking around the issue. 713 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: Good old Grandpa Joe here talking about not defunding the police. Now, 714 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: it's that interesting because you had so many Democrats over 715 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: the summer who are willing to say this. As the 716 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,240 Speaker 1: political wins have shifted a bit. One of the reasons 717 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: is that places where there was some effort at either 718 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,439 Speaker 1: defunding or even just a conversation about defunding, like Minneapolis, 719 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: have had big spikes in violent crime all right, have 720 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: had big challenges with surges in criminality that have come 721 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,400 Speaker 1: right along with when BLM movement protests were happening and 722 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 1: riots were happening. Well, what does the Democrat answer to this, 723 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 1: We need more funding for community police, throw more money 724 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 1: at the problem. Last summer it was we need less 725 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 1: funding for police, which was idiotic, but people said that 726 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: because the police become, in essence to the far left 727 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: in this country, instruments of the state that stand in 728 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: the way of whatever the left wants. Right, the left 729 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,879 Speaker 1: believes that there's all this oppression in this country, that 730 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 1: criminality comes from, poverty comes from oppression, comes from all 731 00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 1: these different things, and therefore it's really our as a society, 732 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: and so we should all suffer if we have to 733 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: all live in higher crime neighborhoods where people are randomly attacked, raped, murdered, assaulted. 734 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: And as you know, most of the crime increase happens 735 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: in major cities and predominantly minority neighborhoods, which means that 736 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 1: it's predominantly minorities who suffer as a result of these 737 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: bad policies. It's it's heinous when elite lives, which you 738 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 1: know they do all the time on CNN and elsewhere, 739 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 1: pretend that, oh, there's there's no correlation between more police 740 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 1: and less crime. There's no correlation between political backing for 741 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: police officers and people being more safe on the streets. 742 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:41,240 Speaker 1: They say that while they have doormen on the Upper 743 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 1: West Side and access to nearby precincts that are well 744 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: staffed and that they know are going to show up quickly, 745 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,320 Speaker 1: while they have you know, the county sheriff just a 746 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,879 Speaker 1: quick phone call away and Malibu, you know whatever, no 747 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: crime in their neighborhoods to begin with, and if there 748 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 1: is crime, they're going to call the cops right away. 749 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: Democrats are frauds on this issue. And now Joe Biden 750 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: is walking away from where his party was on this 751 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: just just a little bit because he realizes that it's 752 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: bad for them. It's bad for them over the long run. 753 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: It was one thing when BLM riots were happening all 754 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: summer and it was about Trump and getting rid of Trump. 755 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 1: But now, sure enough they have to convince people that 756 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: they're not the reason for this big spike in crime. 757 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 1: And they are, and this is going to be an 758 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: issue for them going into the midterms too. But notice 759 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 1: a Biden turns this into a conversation about no one 760 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 1: should go to jail for using a drug. Is that 761 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: really the problem? When I'm talking about shootings and homicides 762 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: and rapes and assaults and burglaries. The Democrats go, oh, 763 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: but you know what about non violent drug offenses. Those 764 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,680 Speaker 1: are not the same thing. They were talking about. One 765 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,800 Speaker 1: is not talking about the other. But remember when Biden, 766 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,759 Speaker 1: when it was politically expedient for Biden to be mister 767 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 1: tough on crime in the nineties, he put his name 768 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 1: on that crime bill. Now he were pudiates it. And 769 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: then when it was useful to attack Trump, he was 770 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,320 Speaker 1: all in favor of BLM riots and was pretty quiet 771 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,880 Speaker 1: on the issue of defunding police. Let the activist class 772 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 1: have it say there. And now that he's president and 773 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: the crime numbers look terrible for last year and everybody 774 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 1: can see it's BLM. Oh. Now he's saying, well, we're not. 775 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 1: Let's just get more money to them and create more 776 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: training programs at community policing and essentially look at this 777 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: as like a jobs program, right, not for just run 778 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: of the mill cops. But I'm sure they're going to 779 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 1: have more social workers and more. You know that they 780 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:39,280 Speaker 1: just want more, more spending, more taxpayer dollars. The spending 781 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 1: is going to be mind blowing. You're going to see 782 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 1: from this bide administration, and I do worry about what 783 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 1: it's going to do with inflation. And inflation is one 784 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 1: of those things where you talk about it and people 785 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,279 Speaker 1: don't get scared, but when they actually feel it and 786 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: see it, and when it gets out of control, then 787 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 1: they are scared, because inflation can destroy an economy and 788 00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: with it in a society. And we are playing a 789 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 1: very dangerous game right now with how we're debasing our currency. 790 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: I know they tell you it's not happening, but it's 791 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 1: a function of math. And Biden's talking about one point 792 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: nine trillion of spending for COVID relief. That's just the beginning. 793 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,439 Speaker 1: They're gonna go. Well beyond that, you just just wait 794 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,280 Speaker 1: and see. They're going to spend money like like nobody's 795 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: ever spent money in this country's history. That's the Democrat plan, 796 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 1: modern monetary theory without calling it that, and Joe Biden's 797 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:30,839 Speaker 1: going to be leading the charge. But just remember he's 798 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: good old Grandpa Joe. He's not a radical. Sure, some 799 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 1: of his policies make all the radicals in our midst 800 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 1: seem happy, and he never seems to be able to 801 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,359 Speaker 1: stand up to the crazier side of the left. Wing 802 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 1: and tell them that this is not going to work 803 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,880 Speaker 1: out for the country the long and the long run. No, 804 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,439 Speaker 1: whatever he needs to say, when he needs to say, 805 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 1: it is what he says. That's the Joe Biden way.
