Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Joe Biden declares Electoral
Speaker 1: College victory, but fraud allegations continue. Attorney General Barr steps down,
Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo accused of sexual harassment, and the moderna vaccine
Speaker 1: Up next, buck Sexton Mission, decoding the news and disseminating information.
Speaker 1: Who is actionable intelligence? Make no mistake American? Great, You're
Speaker 1: a great American again. This is the buck Sexton Shows.
Speaker 1: CIA analysts again, can speak to three hours without a
Speaker 1: phone call. Try doing that sometimes. No, Welcome my friends
Speaker 1: to the buck Sexton Show. Joe Biden taking a victory
Speaker 1: lap yesterday because the Electoral College has certified his win
Speaker 1: and we have to take stock of where we are
Speaker 1: right now in response to this, and I think that
Speaker 1: everyone needs to understand there's going to be a lot
Speaker 1: of frustration here. There's going to be a lot of
Speaker 1: agitation because, yes, we know there was fraud. Yes we
Speaker 1: know that the Democrats stack the deck in their favor
Speaker 1: with the elimination of anti fraud safeguards using COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: as an excuse. But the process is continuing on and
Speaker 1: with each passing week. Now it's favoring Joe Biden. That's
Speaker 1: just an objective reality that we're dealing with. Is there
Speaker 1: the possibility that there will be some last minute case,
Speaker 1: that something will come up that we'll be able to
Speaker 1: finally prove definitively that there was systematic and intentional fraud,
Speaker 1: the kind of proof that even a weak will, even
Speaker 1: a cowardly judge would have to say, for fear of
Speaker 1: shaming his profession or her profession, would have to say, Yes,
Speaker 1: you're correct, this is fraud. We cannot certify the results
Speaker 1: in these states. Yes, it is possible. Is it likely?
Speaker 1: I think you all know the answer to that. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden now is feeling like he is inevitable that this
Speaker 1: is over, this is done with. We can continue, you
Speaker 1: know that old you can walk and chew gum. At
Speaker 1: the same time, we can continue to look for that fraud.
Speaker 1: We can dive into the Antrim County autopsy report from
Speaker 1: the voting machines, right the deep dive that they did.
Speaker 1: I read it last night. I'm curious to see what's
Speaker 1: going to be done with it. I'm sure the DOJ
Speaker 1: is aware of it. I'm sure that this is being
Speaker 1: looked at. Now, being looked at is not the same
Speaker 1: thing as action taken on. But I believe that there
Speaker 1: are people who are going to read this thing and
Speaker 1: take a look at whether or not it changes the
Speaker 1: certification in a place like Michigan. But we have to
Speaker 1: look at that and also understand that Joe Biden is
Speaker 1: preparing for his administration at this point, and this is
Speaker 1: likely what we are going to face. And I understand
Speaker 1: there's going to be heat that I get for this.
Speaker 1: I understand that people don't want to hear this, but
Speaker 1: I always tell you that I will speak the truth
Speaker 1: to you as I see it, and I believe that
Speaker 1: this is the objective truth right now. It is a future,
Speaker 1: It is an issue of the future. It is a
Speaker 1: prediction in a sense. Right the future has not happened yet.
Speaker 1: To borrow from the Terminator films, the future is not
Speaker 1: yet set. But we need to understand what the reality
Speaker 1: of the numbers tells us right now and prepare accordingly,
Speaker 1: including making sure that we focus on the race right
Speaker 1: ahead of us here in George, because a Biden administration
Speaker 1: with the House and the Senate in Democrat control is
Speaker 1: a very different thing than a Biden administration with divided Congress.
Speaker 1: With a divided Congress they're going to have to prop
Speaker 1: up this really buffoonish, clownish and yes corrupt fellow, and
Speaker 1: spend a tremendous amount of time and energy and resources
Speaker 1: just to make sure the American people don't see for
Speaker 1: themselves this is the clown that we've elected. Really this guy. Now,
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you would say you didn't
Speaker 1: elect him, but if he becomes president, then he is
Speaker 1: technically the guy. And so we look at this now
Speaker 1: and we say, what could we do in preparation, what
Speaker 1: could we do to get ready for this? Well, I
Speaker 1: can tell you this much. A lot of what they
Speaker 1: were saying about Trump will be true or would be
Speaker 1: true about a Biden administration. A lot of it would
Speaker 1: be accurate. For example, when they talked about state media
Speaker 1: under Trump, they would say this, they really would only
Speaker 1: say this as a knock on Fox News. And I
Speaker 1: was consistent in pointing out that state media would indicate
Speaker 1: that there's only really one acceptable media point of view.
Speaker 1: I mean true state media. Some places have a government,
Speaker 1: a kind of quasi government or government Oregon, but usually
Speaker 1: if there's an actual state media apparatus, the opposition is
Speaker 1: at a minimum tiny, right, the opposition is small in
Speaker 1: this country. We had the opposite. We had ninety five
Speaker 1: percent of journos out there, ninety five percent of them
Speaker 1: anti the administration, and they advanced their careers despite what
Speaker 1: they said, despite what Jim Acosta would pretend when you
Speaker 1: go to the White House, you know, they were not
Speaker 1: doing the journalistic equivalent of storming the beaches of Normandy.
Speaker 1: They were advancing their careers, they were becoming more famous,
Speaker 1: they were fattening their paychecks. So in no way, whatsoever,
Speaker 1: in no way do we see this now and have
Speaker 1: any reason to believe that Joe Biden will be anything
Speaker 1: other than absolutely coddled and propped up and assisted by
Speaker 1: the media. That's what's going to happen. And you're going
Speaker 1: to hear a lot of empty rhetoric from Biden himself
Speaker 1: but also from the people around him, because this is
Speaker 1: going to be the most incredible emperor has no closed
Speaker 1: situation you've ever seen. The emperor is too old, he's incompetent,
Speaker 1: and he's corrupt. But they're going to tell you that
Speaker 1: this is great. There's gonna be this amazing restoration of
Speaker 1: America that happens. You know, that's a fraud. You know,
Speaker 1: that's not true. The amount of lies that you are
Speaker 1: likely to be told in the next ninety days alone
Speaker 1: will surpass anything you've ever seen before, because now the
Speaker 1: media doesn't even really pretend there's no objectivity. They picked
Speaker 1: a team. He's their team. This is what they're going
Speaker 1: to do. And here's what Biden was saying yesterday. On
Speaker 1: the one hand, calling for unity, calling to bring us
Speaker 1: all together, and then trashing Trump play eighteen. By his
Speaker 1: own standards, these numbers represented a clear victory then, and
Speaker 1: I respectfully suggest they do so now. If anyone didn't
Speaker 1: know before, they know now. What beats deep in the
Speaker 1: hearts of the American people is this democracy, the right
Speaker 1: to be heard, to have your vote counted, to choose
Speaker 1: leaders of this nation, to govern ourselves in America. Politicians
Speaker 1: don't take power. People grant power to them. The flame
Speaker 1: of democracy was lit in this nation a long time ago,
Speaker 1: and we now know nothing, not even a pandemic or
Speaker 1: an abusive power, can extinguish that flame. An abusive power.
Speaker 1: What was the abusive power again? Bringing lawsuits something that
Speaker 1: they did endlessly and bad faith against Trump to slow
Speaker 1: him down. But now the courts are bad. Understand that
Speaker 1: We are not only going into a post journalism area
Speaker 1: with the Democrats, We're also going into a post principle era.
Speaker 1: Whatever they don't like, whatever stands in their way, they'll
Speaker 1: just discard. They don't have to make any show of
Speaker 1: really caring what you think anymore. This is about the
Speaker 1: raw exercise of political power. They think they will have
Speaker 1: achieved it through this, and look at what they did
Speaker 1: to get here. Biden's talking about democracy and how beautiful
Speaker 1: a thing it is now because he likes the outcome
Speaker 1: for him as it stands so far. The rest of
Speaker 1: us stand around saying, you guys, change the rules in
Speaker 1: an election year by hyperventilating about and exaggerating about the
Speaker 1: threat of COVID nineteen only as it pertains of course,
Speaker 1: to voting in person, not to having blm rallies in
Speaker 1: the streets, not to any number of other activities that
Speaker 1: are Democrat approved, but voting no that required enormous shifts
Speaker 1: in the actual mail in balloting process, and transforming the
Speaker 1: process in the year of the election and using it
Speaker 1: to the absolute maximum advantage. And I do at some
Speaker 1: level blame Republicans, who are supposed to be the ones
Speaker 1: on guard against this blocking this. I blame them for
Speaker 1: not doing more in advance, for not seeing this train
Speaker 1: coming down the tracks. Why do you think Pelosi and
Speaker 1: the other Libs, we're going all out with the crazy
Speaker 1: Post office conspiracy over the summer. So that's something that
Speaker 1: now we have to learn from. I hope going forward,
Speaker 1: no matter what, matter what we end up finding out
Speaker 1: here about the fraud, I will continue to look at
Speaker 1: every allegation, every bit of evidence that is presented here
Speaker 1: by the Trump legal team, by anyone who comes forward
Speaker 1: and has proof of fraud. We owe that to the country.
Speaker 1: But we also need to be ready for what is
Speaker 1: coming now. And you are going to see an administration
Speaker 1: that has the full and open partisan backing of the
Speaker 1: social media companies, the entirety of the journalistic media apparatus
Speaker 1: in its pocket, big government and big business working hand
Speaker 1: in glove, not shedding any tears for the destruction, the wanton,
Speaker 1: reckless destruction of small businesses across the country as a
Speaker 1: result of these preposterous lockdowns. You're not gonna see any
Speaker 1: any tears over that. They like this advantage that they have.
Speaker 1: The eradication of small business is something that Democrats aren't
Speaker 1: particularly upset about either. Every business that's independently owned and
Speaker 1: operated is a little bit of a pushback against central planning.
Speaker 1: So they prefer that they just have Amazon and Google
Speaker 1: and these megacorporations calling all the shots and making sure
Speaker 1: they go in favor of the Democrats. And we're gonna
Speaker 1: be up against an administration that has already shown us
Speaker 1: again assuming that this pathway continues, but we have to
Speaker 1: deal with the path that is before us. We're going
Speaker 1: to have an administration that is already compromised by China,
Speaker 1: our chief geopolitical rival. They lied about Russia collusion with
Speaker 1: Trump and pretended that Russia was a much greater threat
Speaker 1: than it was, But in fact what they were saying
Speaker 1: about Russia is true of China. It has infiltrated our
Speaker 1: government apparatus, it has been stealing our most sensitive information
Speaker 1: and secrets for years, and it has compromised the would
Speaker 1: be first family very directly and very obviously. So this
Speaker 1: is going to be an enormous challenge. I hope that
Speaker 1: no matter what, President Trump and all of his chief
Speaker 1: advisors and supporters will come together and face this as one.
Speaker 1: But this is where we are. The electoral college. It
Speaker 1: is now President elect Biden as of now, I understand
Speaker 1: that you're going to tell me it's a fraud, and
Speaker 1: I share your sentiment. I share your outrage. But this
Speaker 1: is where we are now. I've been saying, we trust
Speaker 1: the process. The process is not over, but we are
Speaker 1: taking stock of this today. We have our work cut
Speaker 1: out for us. Friends. We have a Georgia election to win.
Speaker 1: We have judges that should be getting at the last
Speaker 1: minute here pushed through as many federal judges as possible.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the heck is going on with
Speaker 1: the Republicans thinking that they can take it easy, and
Speaker 1: we have to start to make the argument against what
Speaker 1: will be a Biden administration that has a lot of
Speaker 1: support from very powerful people. And you will be told
Speaker 1: that what you know is not true and what you
Speaker 1: know is and so you got to relearn that part
Speaker 1: of it. Get ready for this, friends, We are in
Speaker 1: this together. We will eventually win. It's just a question
Speaker 1: of when you're in the freedom mind. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Four years ago, when I was
Speaker 1: a city and Vice president of the United States, it
Speaker 1: was my responsibility to announce the tally the electoral College votes,
Speaker 1: the Joint Session of Congress and voted to elect Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: I did my job, and I'm pleased, but not surprised.
Speaker 1: But the number of my former Republican colleges in the
Speaker 1: Senate who have acknowledged already the results of the electoral College,
Speaker 1: I thank them, and I'm convinced we can work together
Speaker 1: for the good of the nation on many subjects. That's
Speaker 1: the duty owed to the people, to our constitution, to
Speaker 1: our history. You know, this battle for the soul of
Speaker 1: America democracy prevailed. We the people voted, faith in our
Speaker 1: institutions held. The integrity of our elections remains intact. And
Speaker 1: now it's time to turn the page, as you've done
Speaker 1: throughout our history, to unite to heal. Yeah, he sounds
Speaker 1: like he's in great shape, doesn't he. Everything's gonna be
Speaker 1: just fine. It's gonna be a great president. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a great presidency, folks, all all eighteen months or
Speaker 1: so of it before he decides he's had enough. Although
Speaker 1: you know, I will say a lot of us underestimated.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think it's fair to say you
Speaker 1: under underestimated Joe Biden. I underestimated the Democrat willingness to
Speaker 1: put forward a clownish buffoon, but to create a package
Speaker 1: of a Biden administration that they were able to sell
Speaker 1: to enough people that they thought this was gonna be
Speaker 1: much better. Look the Trump't arrangement syndrome that they spread
Speaker 1: all of that, the media spread all across the country.
Speaker 1: It certainly had an effect. I mean, were a lot
Speaker 1: a lot of people. The fact that Joe Biden, let's
Speaker 1: say Joe Biden cheated just theoretically though I don't want
Speaker 1: to anyone to fact check me on this, but let's
Speaker 1: say Joe Biden had had his team add a half
Speaker 1: a million votes to the tally. The fact that this
Speaker 1: guy still got the eighty million votes roughly that he
Speaker 1: is mind blowing, this clown, this guy whose son is
Speaker 1: getting spare keys made for him to open up the
Speaker 1: office where they're gonna be peddling influence to the Chinese
Speaker 1: Communist Party when he's not, you know, getting strippers knocked
Speaker 1: up and pretending he's not the dad and doing all
Speaker 1: kinds of you know, I mean, come on, this guy,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be president. Maybe maybe I know, it's not
Speaker 1: until he's sworn in. I mean, folks, I just want
Speaker 1: to know what will be the At what point do
Speaker 1: you think that it's no longer an issue of having
Speaker 1: a backbone for the fight to call on the predit?
Speaker 1: Do we wait? I will ask some folks this because
Speaker 1: I know today, just by me saying I'm trying to
Speaker 1: take stock of where we are and be honest about this,
Speaker 1: I know people are can email me and say that,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't have enough stomach for the fight,
Speaker 1: or something like that, and I would just want to
Speaker 1: respond to them what I've been saying. Fight every step
Speaker 1: of the way. But at some point, you know, at
Speaker 1: some point where the team that's staying behind on the field,
Speaker 1: at least for this particular game, when the other team
Speaker 1: is left, they're waving a trophy in the air, and
Speaker 1: the stands have emptied out, and the lights, you know,
Speaker 1: the field lights are getting turned off. Is it the
Speaker 1: inauguration day? Do I think that there's going to be
Speaker 1: an opportunity perhaps to bring action against Joe Biden and
Speaker 1: against some of the other some of the Democrats who
Speaker 1: are involved in Russia collusion, for example, based on the
Speaker 1: Durham probe. I think it's possible. I wouldn't say it's
Speaker 1: likely at all. I always tell you no one can
Speaker 1: predict the future. Obviously not a lot of US conservatives can.
Speaker 1: I really believed in my heart that Trump was going
Speaker 1: to win, and yeah, I think that if only legal
Speaker 1: ballots were countered, I think that Trump did win. But
Speaker 1: I can't change this. You can change this. I mean,
Speaker 1: I wish that I had the resources and the ability
Speaker 1: to go out there and find all this fraud and
Speaker 1: piece it all together. I'm willing to tell you though,
Speaker 1: the people that are claiming that, don't worry. It's still
Speaker 1: in the bag. There's the plan, release the crack in.
Speaker 1: They're not being honest with you. They're not being straight
Speaker 1: with you. The best, the biggest earliest Trump supporters that
Speaker 1: I know, people that I won't name because I've talked
Speaker 1: to them in confidence, but the ones that I know,
Speaker 1: they'll say offline, yeah, look, this is not it's not
Speaker 1: looking good. But we fight this to the end. That's
Speaker 1: where I am. I'm telling you, let's let's deal with
Speaker 1: what's ahead of us. Continue to push see where this
Speaker 1: Antrim County audit, the forensic electronic audit really goes, and
Speaker 1: understand that there's a lot, there's a lot that we
Speaker 1: have here that we have to focus on. And I
Speaker 1: am very concerned about the trajectory of the US versus
Speaker 1: China under a possible Biden administration now, but you know
Speaker 1: this is this is something that we have to regain
Speaker 1: our focus here pretty quickly because they're gonna want to
Speaker 1: hit the ground running. We are weeks away from an
Speaker 1: inauguration that the media is going to treat as a
Speaker 1: total reset. And remember, our freedoms are under assault because
Speaker 1: of COVID and ways that are unimaginable. We have an
Speaker 1: enormous challenge ahead of us with the Chinese Communist Party,
Speaker 1: and we've got a buffoon in Joe Biden who's going
Speaker 1: to be the one calling the shots if this trend continues.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the past. Remember to subscribe on
Speaker 1: Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: I mentioned the Michigan voting machine audit. I just going
Speaker 1: to say that the President of the United States, Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: was sharing this earlier today. This is what he thinks
Speaker 1: is going on here, and we should at least follow
Speaker 1: what the actual commander in chief is saying about all
Speaker 1: of this. He wrote on Twitter, quote sixty eight percent ararated.
Speaker 1: Michigan voting machines should be by law a tiny percentage
Speaker 1: of one percent. Did the Michigan Secretary of State break
Speaker 1: the law? Stay tuned? And then tremendous problems being found
Speaker 1: with voting machines. They are so far off it is
Speaker 1: ridiculous able to take a landslide victory and reduce it
Speaker 1: to a tight loss. This is not what the usay
Speaker 1: is all about. Law enforcement shielding machines do not tamper
Speaker 1: a crime. Much more to come? Okay, well let's see
Speaker 1: what the much more to come is. As I've been
Speaker 1: telling you all along, I want more information. I want
Speaker 1: more data, more evidence that there is no There is
Speaker 1: no part of me that is saying, oh if we
Speaker 1: find out right, and think of this almost like a
Speaker 1: murder investigation, all right, you can know that someone did
Speaker 1: the murder. You could know that someone did the as
Speaker 1: a law enforcement person. But you can't hold them while
Speaker 1: you're gathering all the evidence. If you if you have
Speaker 1: not yet you know, charged them with the crop, right,
Speaker 1: you can't just hold them. You're like, well, we think
Speaker 1: it's you, but we don't have the evidence yet to
Speaker 1: go and get an arrest warrant, and we don't have that,
Speaker 1: so we're just gonna hold you until we find all
Speaker 1: of it. No, you got to release the person, even
Speaker 1: if you know, even if you know that they're probably guilty,
Speaker 1: but you don't have the proof yet. You got to
Speaker 1: release them. That doesn't mean, though, you can't come back
Speaker 1: to it later. So let's see. Let's see what we're
Speaker 1: able to pull together here. I've been hearing from people
Speaker 1: who are not just a Trump legal team, but are
Speaker 1: independently trying to assess and pull together all the data.
Speaker 1: You know. Remember, it's one thing to show that it's
Speaker 1: almost impossible statistically for Trump to have lost in some
Speaker 1: of these places, but almost impossible without proof of the
Speaker 1: intentional Oh, it is not going to be enough to
Speaker 1: get a judge to say that there was cheating here.
Speaker 1: And that's not the same thing as saying there was
Speaker 1: no cheating. Right. So this is what I'm trying to
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the process and the system and trying
Speaker 1: to make us all understand what's really happening, what's unfolding
Speaker 1: before us right now. And it's infuriating, but it is
Speaker 1: what it is. So Trump is saying that they found
Speaker 1: these problems. We'll see what ends up happening. And as
Speaker 1: I've also told you, affidavits not going to be enough,
Speaker 1: not going to be enough. You and I can sit
Speaker 1: here and have a conversation about how affidavits are these are.
Speaker 1: Do I believe them? Yes? I do. Do I think
Speaker 1: that these people are telling the truth. Yeah, But is
Speaker 1: a judge going to say, well, this person saw a
Speaker 1: thousand ballots that it's inexplicable how they all went for Biden.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to invalidate then the hundred thousand ballots
Speaker 1: that were counted that day at that election site. They're
Speaker 1: not going to do that. The judge is not going
Speaker 1: to do that. So, as I've been telling you, the
Speaker 1: the affidavits are not enough. And look, I know if
Speaker 1: I'm wrong about any of this, I'll come back and
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that I'm wrong. I will tell you
Speaker 1: there are people out there right now who are just
Speaker 1: squabbling from the from the scraps or for the scraps
Speaker 1: from the Trump train, and it's really just about them.
Speaker 1: They don't there's no interest in then being honest with
Speaker 1: people because they don't want they don't want to shoot
Speaker 1: the messenger phenomenon to happen right now, you know. But
Speaker 1: the electoral College met yesterday and it is now. It
Speaker 1: is now President elect Joe Biden. That's that's where we are.
Speaker 1: And I spit out the words too, but I appreciate
Speaker 1: that those of you who are joining me here understand
Speaker 1: that we gotta face this. We gotta face it. We
Speaker 1: can't hide from it, can't run from it. This is
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with. And you also have the resignation
Speaker 1: of Attorney General ball Are that occurred yesterday. And let
Speaker 1: me say this, I have been a big proponent of
Speaker 1: the Attorney general. I think that he's an excellent legal mind.
Speaker 1: I think he's a good and ethical man, and I
Speaker 1: understand there's a lot of frustration right now about both
Speaker 1: the Durham probe and the election. A few things here. One,
Speaker 1: he appointed Durham. Durham's a guy running that probe, and
Speaker 1: you know, I don't there's no way for the Attorney
Speaker 1: General that I'm aware of, to say you need to
Speaker 1: speed this thing up. That could be considered undue interference,
Speaker 1: that could be considered politicization. So he handed this off
Speaker 1: to somebody who's supposed to be a very dogged and
Speaker 1: thorough prosecutor. Well, I think a lot of people are
Speaker 1: finding out as prosecutors are just lawyers. They're just lawyers.
Speaker 1: There's not some you know, factory of superhero somewhere that's
Speaker 1: churning out great folks will then all become prosecutors, right,
Speaker 1: there's bad prosecutors, good prosecutors. And so the Durham probe
Speaker 1: is frustrating. But I also never really believe that they
Speaker 1: would that they would hold to full account members of
Speaker 1: the deep state. They're too powerful. There's there's too many
Speaker 1: connections here among them. And then you have the frustration
Speaker 1: over bar and the election, and I just he's not
Speaker 1: a judge. And I know this is not maybe a
Speaker 1: popular thing to say right now, but he's not a judge.
Speaker 1: What is he supposed to do here? People who say
Speaker 1: that the DOJ is not looking at these allegations, I
Speaker 1: have it. I have it on very good authority that
Speaker 1: they are looking at these allegations, and they are presenting
Speaker 1: they are presenting this information up the chain, and that
Speaker 1: it's exactly what I've been saying. The Democrats removed the
Speaker 1: safeguards to be able to prove the fraud, so we
Speaker 1: can keep running around I understand there's this frustration people are.
Speaker 1: It's like they're banging on the wall here saying, but
Speaker 1: there was fraud. I'm saying, I know what. You have
Speaker 1: to be able to prove it or judges will not
Speaker 1: do anything about it. This is where we are. You know,
Speaker 1: if you had a burglary and and somebody and somebody
Speaker 1: pulled all the of the the alarms and the and
Speaker 1: the video cameras out of the room, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the you know, the diamond necklace is gone.
Speaker 1: You can talk about how it was stolen, but if
Speaker 1: you can't show any proof, no one's going to prison.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to tell you. And other people
Speaker 1: aren't going to tell you that. Now, they're gonna say, oh,
Speaker 1: the kracking is just waiting on the sign the No,
Speaker 1: it's not, it's not. I'm every bit as frustrated as
Speaker 1: you are. I think the four years of a Trump
Speaker 1: presidency was gonna be four more years, was going to
Speaker 1: be fantastic for us. We're gonna have a great twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one booming economy. Maybe maybe we still get it,
Speaker 1: but it's not looking good, not looking good at all now.
Speaker 1: A G. Barr resigned. Uh, this is the last thing
Speaker 1: that the President said about him. I think should be
Speaker 1: remembered here because there are a lot of people that
Speaker 1: are trashing the attorney general, and I think there are
Speaker 1: people who worked in the Trump administration at a very
Speaker 1: senior level. I think there are people who were completely incompetent,
Speaker 1: bad at their jobs and deserve to be fired. I
Speaker 1: think James Comey obviously deserved to be fired and sent
Speaker 1: to prison. But here's what Donald Trump wrote yesterday about
Speaker 1: the attorney general. Just had a very nice meeting with
Speaker 1: Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House. Our relationship
Speaker 1: has been a very good one. He's done an outstanding job.
Speaker 1: As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas
Speaker 1: to spend the holidays with his family. So there's the
Speaker 1: President saying, look, I like this guy, and he's stepping down,
Speaker 1: and that's fine. So let's not you know, he's not
Speaker 1: some deep state stude. He's not the enemy of the
Speaker 1: people or any of this stuff. He probably just realized
Speaker 1: he's in an unwinnable situation. He's just gonna get blamed
Speaker 1: for things by people who understand that there was fraud
Speaker 1: in this election. But he has not. You know, the
Speaker 1: Attorney General has not been able to find enough of it,
Speaker 1: nor have they been able to present evidence at a
Speaker 1: federal court of it to change the result. So he's
Speaker 1: in a losing position and he doesn't and he just figures, okay, look,
Speaker 1: have someone else do this. I get it. It's a thankless,
Speaker 1: a thankless role right now. And I just want to
Speaker 1: every gonna be very clear. The President sent him. This
Speaker 1: is like being you know, honorably discharged. President said nice
Speaker 1: things about him on the way out. The president doesn't
Speaker 1: always do that, as you know. So this is the
Speaker 1: Attorney General saying, all right, I've done what I can.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's somebody better who can step up and do this.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go home with my family for Christmas. That's
Speaker 1: all it is. And I think the Attorney General did
Speaker 1: a solid job. You freed, of course, disagree with me
Speaker 1: on that, but I think that overall the Attorney General
Speaker 1: was an ethical guy. And for those of you who
Speaker 1: were going to really get mad at me, let me
Speaker 1: just say Bill Barr was considered a stooge and a
Speaker 1: hatchet man by the media of Trump until five minutes ago.
Speaker 1: So something happened here and It's not that the Attorney
Speaker 1: General all of a sudden became some deep state operative, right,
Speaker 1: That's not what happened. What happened is we've got a
Speaker 1: very frustrating election result and there's a lot of blame
Speaker 1: going around right now, and including the people that don't
Speaker 1: deserve it. You're in the freedom Hud. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Let me ask you, Governor. There
Speaker 1: was an allegation made over the weekend on Twitter by
Speaker 1: a former aid of yours who said that accused you
Speaker 1: of sexual harassments that had happened over a period of years.
Speaker 1: I wanted to get your reaction to that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: heard about the tweet and what it said about comments
Speaker 1: that I had made, and it's not true, Zach. Look,
Speaker 1: I fought for and I believe a woman has the
Speaker 1: right to come forward and express her opinion and express
Speaker 1: issues and concerns that she has. But it's it's just
Speaker 1: not true. So he's connor a liar? Can we can
Speaker 1: we just all agree that that's what he is saying,
Speaker 1: that she is a liar. And I would just prefer
Speaker 1: it if he would come out and say that instead
Speaker 1: of playing this game where you have him say I
Speaker 1: fought for a right to come forward and you know,
Speaker 1: to say to things. But turns out that she's a
Speaker 1: big liar. Look, I don't think she's lying at all.
Speaker 1: And it's I know that you could say to me, oh,
Speaker 1: but Buck, that's because he's a Democrat and you don't
Speaker 1: like him, and you think that he's, you know, King
Speaker 1: Cuomo and a maniac. I don't like him, and I
Speaker 1: do think he's a maniac. And it's terrifying that he
Speaker 1: might be a an attorney general under a bid administration
Speaker 1: that's already been talked about. That I find that deeply concerning.
Speaker 1: But I also am willing to give you my honest
Speaker 1: assessment of these things. I don't always think that these allegations,
Speaker 1: even though against Democrats are true, they do tend to
Speaker 1: be true more often against high profile Democrats than they
Speaker 1: are against high profile Republicans. I'm gonna say that there
Speaker 1: you have noticed this, But it's not a it's not
Speaker 1: an absolute. But Cuomo is a jerk. And Cuomo is
Speaker 1: a guy who you can just tell. You can tell
Speaker 1: that he thinks that he can get away with stuff.
Speaker 1: He's known as a bully, he's known as being vindictive,
Speaker 1: he's not a nice guy. So you know when they
Speaker 1: accused Kavanaugh, who is like, you know, Ned Flanders went
Speaker 1: to Harvard Law School or something or Yale Law School,
Speaker 1: I forget which one. And it's like this legal legal
Speaker 1: supermind who is coaching you know, girls basketball on the weekend.
Speaker 1: Everybody loves him. They accuse him of being a serial
Speaker 1: gang rapist. One of the ugliest, most underhanded and disgraceful
Speaker 1: episodes in American politics in my lifetime. And no intelligent
Speaker 1: person could really believe that those things were true, but
Speaker 1: they wanted to believe it because they wanted to stop
Speaker 1: him from being on the Supreme Court. What we're seeing
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court even when you put constitutionalists on the left.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say this, and it's annoying, but you
Speaker 1: gotta know the truth. When the left gets one of
Speaker 1: their judges on, they've got somebody who plays for their team.
Speaker 1: When the right gets one of their judges on, they've
Speaker 1: got somebody who adheres to the Constitution. You can see
Speaker 1: this the left, the left does not disappoint their side.
Speaker 1: They get what they want. That's what an activist judge means,
Speaker 1: that's their mandate. Give us what we want right create
Speaker 1: a living constitution model where you just decide that you
Speaker 1: think this is better and the progressive should get their way.
Speaker 1: For the on the right, constitutionalist judges, they say, look,
Speaker 1: I don't like this policy, or I don't think this
Speaker 1: is a good idea, but it is constitutional, so I
Speaker 1: can't do anything about it. You just think of all
Speaker 1: think of big cases. That's what keeps happening. But bring
Speaker 1: it back to Cuomo. So they'll say that boy scout
Speaker 1: Cavanaugh is a bad guy and he's a rapist and
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and it's just absurd, and I'm never
Speaker 1: letting that go. That, in some ways was almost as radicalizing,
Speaker 1: and perhaps it was as radicalizing a moment for many
Speaker 1: conservatives as the Russia collusion lies about Trump, because it
Speaker 1: was so obviously false and so vicious, and I'm never
Speaker 1: gonna forget it, never gonna forgive it either. But then
Speaker 1: you have Cuomo. Here's a guy who is a jerk
Speaker 1: and everyone knows it, and he's powermad and I believe
Speaker 1: there was actually a domestic disturbance at his house once
Speaker 1: when he was married, and the police showed up, and
Speaker 1: that everyone had to pretend it didn't happen. He shut
Speaker 1: down the Morelin Commission in a corruption of him just
Speaker 1: essentially by intimidating and you know, scaring everybody. Is a
Speaker 1: bad guy. He's just a bad guy. And now he's
Speaker 1: being accused of things that Remember, she didn't go overboard.
Speaker 1: She wasn't saying, oh, you know, he drugged me and
Speaker 1: all this other stuff. I mean, I mean, not that
Speaker 1: couldn't happen, but that would be a bit of that
Speaker 1: would be a pretty extreme allegation. She says that he said,
Speaker 1: you know, sexist comments and talk about my appearance. And
Speaker 1: you know, if you look at the woman in question,
Speaker 1: I'm I find it very credible that Cuomo would comment
Speaker 1: on her appearance. I don't think that that's a stretch
Speaker 1: at all. And I'm just bringing this up because get
Speaker 1: ready to kind of stay with our prepare for the
Speaker 1: battle ahead mentality today. Get ready for the double standards
Speaker 1: that we saw in the first four years of Trump.
Speaker 1: Going forward under a bind administration will be just mind blowing.
Speaker 1: They won't have any standards, accept double standards. They will
Speaker 1: just everything that they've said in the past, whether it's
Speaker 1: about the grounds for impeachment, whether it's about the Me
Speaker 1: Too movement. Women have a right, women have a right
Speaker 1: to be believed, was the That was the line, That
Speaker 1: was the claim that was made whenever, whether it was
Speaker 1: Trump or Kavanaugh, any Republican was accused of anything. And
Speaker 1: there were some people like Cosby and Weinstein who weren't
Speaker 1: politicians but were I guess democrats. Winestein's clearly a Democrat
Speaker 1: who were guilty. And so yeah, those women did have
Speaker 1: a right to believed because they were telling the truth.
Speaker 1: But now all of a sudden, when it's Cuomo, they're
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna avoid talking about this story and they're
Speaker 1: gonna take his word for it and they'll let him
Speaker 1: get away with the formulation that he gave you there
Speaker 1: where he's just saying, oh, yes, she has a right
Speaker 1: to come forward. What does that mean? We were told
Speaker 1: that she has a right to be believed. Hillary Clinton
Speaker 1: said about women coming forward with allegations, they have a
Speaker 1: right to be believed. And now when there's a Democrat,
Speaker 1: he's in trouble. All of a sudden, now we have
Speaker 1: a Oh, I don't know, I don't know if we
Speaker 1: can really take that seriously anymore. That's standard that we
Speaker 1: were using to try to eviscerate republic lookings. Maybe we
Speaker 1: need to be a little more thoughtful about how we
Speaker 1: do this, Maybe we need to be a little more
Speaker 1: evidentiary in the way that we approached these things. And
Speaker 1: I sit here saying, wow, no, no, no, dub no surprise, huh,
Speaker 1: And Cuomo is going to get away with this. There
Speaker 1: will be no consequences from whatsoever Democrat voters in New
Speaker 1: York State where I am, at least for now, I
Speaker 1: don't know what it's going to take them to realize
Speaker 1: this guy's a nightmare. I don't know. I mean, you'd
Speaker 1: think that at this point they would have figured it out,
Speaker 1: and they want anybody but him. The media loves this guy.
Speaker 1: They love him so he can get away with anything.
Speaker 1: And he's about to get away with these sexual sexual
Speaker 1: harassment allegations, that's for sure. Thanks for listening to The

Speaker 1: What are we really seeing when it comes to the
Speaker 1: result of these lockdowns and what has the data told
Speaker 1: us so far about so many of these expert predictions
Speaker 1: When it comes to COVID nineteen and how we're supposed
Speaker 1: to handle it. We're joined out by Phil Kirpin. He's
Speaker 1: a syndicated columnist and also the president of American Commitment. Phil,
Speaker 1: thanks for making the time great to be with you.
Speaker 1: By Let's talk about schools first. What does the data
Speaker 1: tell us about school lockdowns at this stage, or I
Speaker 1: should just say school closures, it's not even really lockdowns.
Speaker 1: Closing schools and doing only virtual learning probably the single
Speaker 1: biggest policy mistake of the entire year, which is hang
Speaker 1: a lot, because we've had a lot of policy mistakes.
Speaker 1: It's interesting the original CDC guidance on schools was really balanced,
Speaker 1: and I think anyone who actually read it and paid
Speaker 1: attention would not have closed schools. And yet we had
Speaker 1: sort of this panic contagion that swept the whole country
Speaker 1: and all the schools were closed, and a lot of
Speaker 1: them never reopened or opened on very limited part time schedule.
Speaker 1: And it's interesting. There was a study in the Journal
Speaker 1: of the American Medical Association a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: They looked at just the impact of elementary school closures
Speaker 1: and just for two months in the spring, and they
Speaker 1: calculated five million years of life lost from two months
Speaker 1: of elementary school closures, which is probably more years of
Speaker 1: life lost than we're going to have from the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: There's a very strong relationship between educational attainment and not
Speaker 1: just income, but life expectancy as well. The difference between
Speaker 1: a high school graduate and a high school dropout, on
Speaker 1: average is about five years of life expectancy. The online
Speaker 1: learning is not working for a lot of people. For
Speaker 1: some kids, it's fine, some of them are doing okay,
Speaker 1: but a lot of kids are failing. A lot more
Speaker 1: kids than ever failed with traditional school, and that has
Speaker 1: major long term consequences, both economic and health consequences, And
Speaker 1: so we're essentially imposing enormous harms and enormous enormous costs
Speaker 1: on children societally, even though children are atists near zero risks,
Speaker 1: certainly much lower risk with coronavirus than they are from
Speaker 1: seasonal flu, which is five to ten times more deadly
Speaker 1: for children than coronavirus, and that we tolerate and that
Speaker 1: we think is a perfectly acceptable little level of risk.
Speaker 1: And so children have really been the biggest losers in
Speaker 1: our policy response to COVID. It feels increasingly feel like
Speaker 1: the elimination of any tolerable risk when it comes to
Speaker 1: COVID has been at the center of a lot of
Speaker 1: the policies that we see, and restaurants in New York
Speaker 1: City have just been closed as of this week. Contact
Speaker 1: racing shown that they were responsible for they believe, about
Speaker 1: one percent of the spread. So what are what have
Speaker 1: we learned about? Where is the virus spreading in New
Speaker 1: York and it's and its environs, because that's a that's
Speaker 1: also a good proxy for where it would be spreading
Speaker 1: in other densely populated parts of the country. Well, the
Speaker 1: data the New York published, and it's interesting because they
Speaker 1: published very very similar data back in May and then
Speaker 1: ignored it, and now they're finding the same thing again,
Speaker 1: which is almost all of the spread is inside of homes,
Speaker 1: inside of households. And you know, New York of course
Speaker 1: has a lot of high density residential, a lot of
Speaker 1: multi family, you know, apartment buildings, and so you know,
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit different there and some other places,
Speaker 1: but by and large, I think it's now pretty clear
Speaker 1: from the contact tracing we've seen all over the country
Speaker 1: that there's not a lot of spread in places like
Speaker 1: restaurants and retail and so that the spread tends to
Speaker 1: happen sort of the one to one person to person
Speaker 1: spread tends to happen inside of homes. Now we also
Speaker 1: have this other problem of these occasional sort of super
Speaker 1: spread or events which are hard to predict, and we
Speaker 1: still don't really know why some small percentage of people
Speaker 1: with this virus and it's only maybe ten percent something
Speaker 1: like that seemed to be responsible for, you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of the spread. And so you know, if you've
Speaker 1: got on the average person gets this virus, infects zero
Speaker 1: or one other people, and then but then you've got
Speaker 1: this small group that affects tons of people, and you know,
Speaker 1: we still don't really know what makes them different and
Speaker 1: why they tend to infect lots of people. And I
Speaker 1: wish with more research we're going into that because that
Speaker 1: would be very useful to sort of identify and be
Speaker 1: able to predict what those characteristics are. But by and large,
Speaker 1: what we saw in the New York did, and it
Speaker 1: was remarkable because Governor Cuomo came out and he said, look,
Speaker 1: here's the data. Seventy five percent of transmission is in homes,
Speaker 1: one percent is in restaurants. So I'm closing restaurants and
Speaker 1: you know, then he said, well, you know, because it's
Speaker 1: something we can do. You know, we can't close homes,
Speaker 1: we can close restaurants. But of course, just because you
Speaker 1: can do something doesn't mean that it's actually you know,
Speaker 1: he said, you know, it's only a small difference, but
Speaker 1: it's something we can do. You know, but if you
Speaker 1: look at the data, but it's more likely to be
Speaker 1: a negative difference than a positive difference, because if you say,
Speaker 1: you know, we're going to push gatherings and holiday gatherings
Speaker 1: and dinners and all this kind of stuff out of
Speaker 1: restaurants where people are being very strict with their distancing
Speaker 1: and their hygiene and all this stuff, we're gonna push
Speaker 1: them out. We're gonna close. Now, they're gonna take place
Speaker 1: in homes instead. You know, some of them won't take
Speaker 1: place at all, but a lot of them will take
Speaker 1: place in homes instead without any of those precautions. And
Speaker 1: so in my judgment, the restaurant closure is not only
Speaker 1: economically devastating, but it's more likely to increase transmission than
Speaker 1: to decrease it because people are going to meet in
Speaker 1: home settings instead. Well, this was a concern also last
Speaker 1: winter or late late in the winter, when we recognize
Speaker 1: that New York City was facing this first big wave
Speaker 1: of COVID cases. They went into the fifteen days to
Speaker 1: stop the spread and the stay at home orders, and
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying, well, hold on a second,
Speaker 1: We've had this virus is all over the place already,
Speaker 1: and now what you're going to be doing by shutting
Speaker 1: down the schools, shutting down anywhere for people to places
Speaker 1: for people to go, is you might actually be forcing
Speaker 1: And you mentioned multigenerational, multi family homes, dense housing, which
Speaker 1: is all over New York City where people it's very
Speaker 1: difficult to really stay far away from others. It may
Speaker 1: have effectively sent everyone home to infect their family members inadvertently.
Speaker 1: But that was always a concern. Yeah, I think that
Speaker 1: that almost certainly was a big part of what happened
Speaker 1: in New York back in the spring. Now, the good
Speaker 1: thing you've got going for you now in New York is,
Speaker 1: you know, so many people have already had it. You
Speaker 1: have a very high level of community immunity, probably higher
Speaker 1: than anywhere else in the United States. And so you know,
Speaker 1: if you look at the New York state numbers, it's
Speaker 1: now mostly outside of the New York City area, it's
Speaker 1: sort of the rest of the state is kind of
Speaker 1: catching up new York City. If you look at the
Speaker 1: hospital utilization in the emergency room data, you've actually got
Speaker 1: lower emergency room visits for respiratory illnesses and influenza like
Speaker 1: illness now than you know, any of the previous five
Speaker 1: years this time of year. So you're actually lower than
Speaker 1: normal in New York City, I think because you've got
Speaker 1: a lot of community immunity to COVID, and because the
Speaker 1: other factor, which is happening everywhere in the world right
Speaker 1: now with very little attention paid to it. There's almost
Speaker 1: no flu activity this year. And we don't know if
Speaker 1: that's because the you know, the policy measures like the
Speaker 1: masks and the distancing and school closures are somehow more
Speaker 1: effective for flu than they are for COVID, or if
Speaker 1: the virus itself has somehow disrupted. We don't really know
Speaker 1: why it's the case, but it's a remarkable story because
Speaker 1: remember the experts that we're gonna have this twindemic flu
Speaker 1: is going to hit at the same time as COVID,
Speaker 1: all the hospital's gonna be overwhelmed. Instead, we've got you know,
Speaker 1: the mildest flu season since at least twenty fifteen, and maybe,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see if it doesn't take off at all,
Speaker 1: maybe the mildest flu season on records. So you've got,
Speaker 1: you know, really underutilization of hospitals in a place like
Speaker 1: New York City that has relatively little COVID activity because
Speaker 1: we're not seeing any fluid. I pulled some numbers last week.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up. Phil. I'm speaking of
Speaker 1: Phil Kirpin, syndicated columnist, journalist, and at Phil, I looked
Speaker 1: at the initial Now, now I had someone right, I've
Speaker 1: had people right into me since to say we're not
Speaker 1: really testing for flu the way that we normally do.
Speaker 1: And to that, I say, okay, because I am asking.
Speaker 1: You know, so sometimes people are asking a question and
Speaker 1: they're really trying to push a conclusion. I'm actually asking
Speaker 1: the question, but I pose to the audience. I said,
Speaker 1: you know, the initial data on the CDC website for
Speaker 1: the first week of December, and and I think it
Speaker 1: was it was low for what they actually had for COVID.
Speaker 1: So this was initial data. So the numbers are clearly
Speaker 1: going to go up. And you know, maybe it went
Speaker 1: from you know, maybe I might even go up by
Speaker 1: a factor of ten, let's say, right, I mean, it
Speaker 1: could go up substantially. But the initial data said that
Speaker 1: they had something like two thousand plus COVID deaths in
Speaker 1: the first week of December that we're officially COVID, you know,
Speaker 1: meaning that this is what they had three three from
Speaker 1: the flu. Now, I could understand more COVID, I could
Speaker 1: under but there's clearly something going on here. I mean,
Speaker 1: you mentioned some of the possibilities. There's no way that
Speaker 1: you have almost a factor of a thousand more COVID
Speaker 1: deaths than you do flu debts, given what we would
Speaker 1: see in a normal flu season. That's not possible. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, flu peaks are more often in January February
Speaker 1: than they are in November and December times sometimes you
Speaker 1: have in earlier flu seasons. So you know a lot
Speaker 1: of people say, well, you know, flu's not here yet,
Speaker 1: it's still coming. That might be true, but we've never
Speaker 1: seen levels this low. We've never seen levels this low,
Speaker 1: and if you look at the CDC flu testing data,
Speaker 1: it's down about ninety five ninety five to almost one
Speaker 1: hundred percent some weeks, and we've had like ninety eight
Speaker 1: percent reduction from the five year average. And it's not
Speaker 1: that we're not testing. The flu tests are actually higher
Speaker 1: than the five year average, and they they're actually at
Speaker 1: a record high at the number of flu tests at
Speaker 1: the CDC tracks, And the CDC only tracks clinical labs
Speaker 1: and public health labs, so they don't track, you know,
Speaker 1: like the rapid tests in the doctor's office. That's not
Speaker 1: in the stats. So they only have thousands of tests,
Speaker 1: they don't have millions of tests. But it's still it
Speaker 1: indicates that I think one of three things is going
Speaker 1: on buck. Either we've got the public health measures that
Speaker 1: are being implemented for some reason, or very effective at
Speaker 1: stopping flu, even though they don't seem to be. They're
Speaker 1: not effective. It's stopping covid right right, So that's a
Speaker 1: little hard to believe, although a lot of people have
Speaker 1: been saying that or somehow the covid virus itself disrupts
Speaker 1: the flu virus, which is possible. There's a phenomenon called
Speaker 1: viral interference, and this was actually how swine flu ended
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and nine. The rhinovirus came in
Speaker 1: and it sort of just knocked it out. You know,
Speaker 1: people got that instead and it sort of knocked it out,
Speaker 1: and there was some hope. There was actually an article,
Speaker 1: you know, months ago, hoping that flu season would come
Speaker 1: in and sort of disrupt COVID. That definitely didn't happen,
Speaker 1: but maybe the opposite happened. Maybe COVID disrupted flu, and
Speaker 1: you know, once you get COVID, your mucus build up
Speaker 1: blocks flu, or some mechanism causes viral interference. Or the
Speaker 1: third possibility is that we've got some sort of a
Speaker 1: data artifact where maybe you know, we're get so many
Speaker 1: false positives for COVID that people get flu, they test
Speaker 1: false positive, it goes into the stats AVID case instead
Speaker 1: of a flu case. Maybe there's a timing issue where
Speaker 1: even though we have lots of flu tests, people are
Speaker 1: only taking the flu test after they get a negative
Speaker 1: COVID test back, and by then flus not detectable anymore.
Speaker 1: Some people have suggested that, so they're basically there are
Speaker 1: three possibilities in my judgment, Either the policies are actually
Speaker 1: stopping flu somehow there's actual viral interference, or we've got
Speaker 1: some sort of a data artifact based on the sequence
Speaker 1: and the way that we're doing the testing that's causing
Speaker 1: the flu cases to be mischaracterized as COVID. So it's
Speaker 1: got to be one of those three things. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure which it is, or if it's a combination, but
Speaker 1: I wish there were a lot more curiosity about this,
Speaker 1: you know, among the media and among the public health officials,
Speaker 1: because it's a pretty remarkable of phenomenon what we're seeing.
Speaker 1: Talk to me about this, and we're speaking of Phil Kirpin.
Speaker 1: He is the president of American Commitment, and he's a
Speaker 1: syndicated columnists. I see all these charts, and I've looked
Speaker 1: at some of the data myself, and they show mask
Speaker 1: mandates going into place on a timeline. And you know,
Speaker 1: for a state, right whether it's California or Hawaii or
Speaker 1: New York or wherever mask mandate goes into effect, and
Speaker 1: then you have countless charts where you just give it
Speaker 1: time and the case is just skyrocket after the mandate
Speaker 1: goes into effect. What can we just tell from the
Speaker 1: numbers about this as a policy? Can can we draw
Speaker 1: any conclusions or you can you draw any conclusions from
Speaker 1: what we're seeing. I don't think masks have any effect.
Speaker 1: Mask mandates you know, we should we should differentiate the
Speaker 1: two masked mandates and masks are not necessarily synonymous because
Speaker 1: just because the mandates in an area doesn't mean everyone's
Speaker 1: wearing them, or wearing them properly, or handling them properly
Speaker 1: and so forth. You know, the reason historically we've never
Speaker 1: recommended masks outside of medical settings is it's actually really
Speaker 1: hard to use a mask properly, to make sure you
Speaker 1: never touch the outside, to remove it and carefully and
Speaker 1: throw it out or wash it without ever touching the outside.
Speaker 1: And you know, that's why we've never recommended them in
Speaker 1: non medical settings, because even if they work sort of
Speaker 1: conceptually in sort of a lab test, we never had
Speaker 1: confidence that people would use them correctly in a way
Speaker 1: that actually could be beneficial. And I think that based
Speaker 1: on the data that I'm saying, you know, it's sort
Speaker 1: of you could go either way on whether they work
Speaker 1: in idealized setting. There is a lot of lab data
Speaker 1: showing that they probably would be beneficial if they were
Speaker 1: used sort of perfectly, but in practice, I don't see
Speaker 1: any evidence that they've been beneficial at all. And you know,
Speaker 1: there's the cherry picking that goes on and the CDC
Speaker 1: had a couple of very low quality studies looking at
Speaker 1: Arizona and Kansas, where they essentially just cherry picked their
Speaker 1: end dates and their comparators and said, look, masks to
Speaker 1: the reason we saw a decline. And you know, if
Speaker 1: you look at kind of what's happened seasonally, you have
Speaker 1: essentially identical patterns in places with them without mask mandates,
Speaker 1: if they've got the same geography in the same sort
Speaker 1: of time of year, and so I don't think that
Speaker 1: they make a difference one way or the other. You
Speaker 1: could argue some have suggested they may actually be harmful.
Speaker 1: The reason that the Nordic states have all avoided the
Speaker 1: mask mandates, you know, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and so forth,
Speaker 1: as they say, look, you know, the mask doesn't really
Speaker 1: do that much, especially the way a typical person handles
Speaker 1: it is not well trained, the way the surgeon would be,
Speaker 1: and so forth. But if you tell people that the
Speaker 1: mask protects you, then suddenly they're going to stand right
Speaker 1: next to each other for prolonged periods of time with
Speaker 1: masks on, and they're gonna think they don't need to
Speaker 1: keep their distance. And oh, and I'm sure people that
Speaker 1: have mild code. They might go out of the house
Speaker 1: even if they're feeling sick because mask on and so
Speaker 1: the you know, a false belief that a mask will
Speaker 1: protect you might actually put you at more risk. This
Speaker 1: is what I've been saying. You're gonna have people that say, well,
Speaker 1: maybe I got COVID, but my symptoms aren't that bad
Speaker 1: and I'm wearing a mask, so I'm good to go.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, this is a bad idea. There's a
Speaker 1: bad idea, but I could guarantee that's been happening all
Speaker 1: over the country, all over the world. Phil, Look, I
Speaker 1: appreciate that you're willing to take a look at the
Speaker 1: data here on the numbers and come to conclude as
Speaker 1: that you know, aren't right in line with the consensus.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is the brainwashing that has gone
Speaker 1: on on this issue is unlike anything else I've ever
Speaker 1: seen in my life. I just want to give you
Speaker 1: the last word. Yeah. I mean, probably the most frightening
Speaker 1: thing of the past year buck has been the extent
Speaker 1: to which people not only accepted all of these various
Speaker 1: arbitrary government decrees, but demanded them and welcomed them and
Speaker 1: cheered them on. And I think the extent to which
Speaker 1: a large portion of the public supports the heavy handed
Speaker 1: government policy response is probably the most frightening takeaway of
Speaker 1: this whole thing. And you know, it means we could
Speaker 1: we could see this again every time there's a disease.
Speaker 1: So I am I am concerned about that, and I
Speaker 1: share your you know, I share your sentiments on that.
Speaker 1: Bill Kirpin, President of American Commitment, Phil really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Talk to you soon. All right, every go on, you're
Speaker 1: in the Freedom Heart. This is the Buck Sex and
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Well, I think the party is uncertain of
Speaker 1: the course that we're going to take going forward. The
Speaker 1: principles that have long been the hallmark of my party
Speaker 1: are very much in question, which is, do we believe
Speaker 1: in balancing the budget? Do we believe in standing up
Speaker 1: to people like Kim Jong Gun and Vladimir Putin? Are
Speaker 1: we committed to the principle that character counts? These are
Speaker 1: all things that I think we're going to have to
Speaker 1: decide over the coming years. I can tell you this much.
Speaker 1: Mid Romney's not going to be the leader of the
Speaker 1: Republican Party. That's for damn sure. Mid Romney is a Democrat.
Speaker 1: Now I'm not going to forget that one anytime soon.
Speaker 1: He should be ashamed of his vote for the president
Speaker 1: to be removed during that sham impeachment, an impeachment about
Speaker 1: a president having a phone call where he asked about
Speaker 1: what we know is an entirely legitimate issue Biden family corruption,
Speaker 1: which is quite real. There's a federal investigation going on
Speaker 1: around it. You know. They may not like that the
Speaker 1: Trumpster was using some bare knockle politics here, but he
Speaker 1: was within his rights to do it. It was a
Speaker 1: fair ask. No action was taken on it anyway, and
Speaker 1: mid Romney voted to have the president removed from office
Speaker 1: based on that. Now, let's not ever forget this. There
Speaker 1: are a lot of these never trumpers. There are a
Speaker 1: lot of these stealth Democrats running around who were now
Speaker 1: all of a sudden going to be talking about how
Speaker 1: much they care about protecting life and the pro life movement.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be talking about the constitution and limited government
Speaker 1: and a strong national defense and all these things. They
Speaker 1: think they were going to turn the clock back to,
Speaker 1: you know, two thousand and six or something, and the
Speaker 1: Romneyite McCain, you know, mccainneyan view of the Republican Party
Speaker 1: is going to be what we go back to, and
Speaker 1: I think that they're in for a rude awakening. It's
Speaker 1: not going to happen, and it should not happen. We
Speaker 1: now have a transformed Republican Party and it should stay
Speaker 1: aligned with the principles of America first and just reason
Speaker 1: and rationality in our foreign policy and domestic policy. Support
Speaker 1: for rule of law, support for law enforcement. Those are
Speaker 1: things that aren't going away. We're not all going to
Speaker 1: start watching Milton Friedman lectures again and act like this
Speaker 1: is nineteen eighty seven. Thanks for listening to The bus
Speaker 1: Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, at
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. I
Speaker 1: had been saying, by my calculation sometime by the end
Speaker 1: of the March the beginning of April, that the normal,
Speaker 1: healthy man and woman in the street who has no
Speaker 1: underlying conditions would likely get it at the end of
Speaker 1: the day. The real bottom line is when do you
Speaker 1: get the majority, the overwhelming majority of the population vaccinated
Speaker 1: so you can get that umbrella of herd immunity. And
Speaker 1: I believe if we're fishing about it and we convince
Speaker 1: people to get vaccinated. We can accomplish that by the
Speaker 1: end of the second quarter of twenty twenty one, namely
Speaker 1: by the end of the late spring early summer. They're
Speaker 1: gonna take as many lives, as many months of your
Speaker 1: life from you as they can until they realize they
Speaker 1: no longer have that power. I mean, Fauci is I
Speaker 1: think making that quite clear. He's just effectively telling you
Speaker 1: that by June, let's say, you know, April, May, March, June, July,
Speaker 1: oh sorry, fair January, February, March, April, May, June. So
Speaker 1: by the end of the second quarter, by this summer,
Speaker 1: you'll have most people who are going to get vaccinated vaccinated.
Speaker 1: Do you think that that means that all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the Faucci Heights and the rest of the lockdowners are
Speaker 1: going to say, you know what, go live your life, folks,
Speaker 1: go travel, go be around people, go socialize again. Now
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, we can't we can't know yet. This
Speaker 1: virus still out there. The virus is still out there.
Speaker 1: You'll say, yeah, but there are a lot of virus
Speaker 1: is still out there, and you know, life is short.
Speaker 1: How much more of this are we supposed to take?
Speaker 1: And what you see is we have a population, unfortunately
Speaker 1: in America. I think we've all gotten so used to
Speaker 1: everything on demand, delicious food, excellent medical care, you know,
Speaker 1: super comfortable accommodations, even for people who aren't wealthy by
Speaker 1: any American standard. We've gotten used to all this, and
Speaker 1: we all just expect that we're going to live deep
Speaker 1: into our eighties, maybe into our nineties, or even to
Speaker 1: triple digits. And our belief is that we are all
Speaker 1: guaranteed that, especially if we listen to the faucies of
Speaker 1: the world. That's just not true. It's just not true.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people want to live their lives
Speaker 1: as though they recognize that that is not true, that
Speaker 1: there are no guarantees here. But what we've seen is
Speaker 1: the public unfortunately hand off to the faucies of the
Speaker 1: world the right to determine for them what acceptable risk
Speaker 1: is here. And as long as you are not able
Speaker 1: to be the arbiter of your own personal risk or
Speaker 1: risk for your family, there will be bureaucrats making those
Speaker 1: calls for you. And that's what we see going on.
Speaker 1: So let's assume let's play this out for a second.
Speaker 1: Fauci says that we'll have herd immunity effectively by June,
Speaker 1: herd immunity by June, and you would think that at
Speaker 1: that point we should be having big celebrations, that every
Speaker 1: should be able to go out and do what they
Speaker 1: want to do. That's just not true. It's just not true.
Speaker 1: They're going to say, well, we can't take that risk.
Speaker 1: We have to wait and make sure that we have
Speaker 1: a period here of almost no COVID kids. Yeah, they'll
Speaker 1: relax on some of the lockdown policies, but they're still
Speaker 1: gonna probably have a prohibitions on large gatherings. You know,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to have a wedding in
Speaker 1: a lot of states with one hundred and fifty people
Speaker 1: in July, even if we're at herd immunity in June,
Speaker 1: because they're just they're gonna say, sorry, no risk, not allowed,
Speaker 1: not allowed. They're they're gonna just hold on. They're gonna
Speaker 1: grip with their grubbing little fingers. They're gonna grip the
Speaker 1: bureaucrats and the apparatus and the Democrats and the Biden apparatchicks.
Speaker 1: They're gonna hold on to this power with everything they've got,
Speaker 1: and the Cuomos and the newsoms and all the rest
Speaker 1: of them, because they really want you all to submit.
Speaker 1: They want us to be begging to get some normalcy,
Speaker 1: some freedom back, so that then we forget right. There's
Speaker 1: almost like a hostage hostage vibe here where when the
Speaker 1: hostage taker, you know, finally gives you a slice of
Speaker 1: cold pizza or something after they've held you for a
Speaker 1: few days and you're starving, you're thankful to your hostage taker.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, thank you, mister hostage taker. You know,
Speaker 1: thank you terrorist. You're gonna finally let me have like
Speaker 1: something to eat. You're gonna you're gonna let me go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom now, or you're gonna you're gonna give
Speaker 1: me some water. It's been two days. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: this this happens. This is a a psychological response that
Speaker 1: you'll have to high stress situations, and I think they're
Speaker 1: counting on that. I think their belief is that whenever
Speaker 1: they begin to give us back our basic rights to live,
Speaker 1: our lives will be so beaten down at that point
Speaker 1: and so frustrated, it's so tired of all of this
Speaker 1: that just anything to make it stop will be our mentality.
Speaker 1: And that means that we won't question them, we won't
Speaker 1: bring up any of this. We'll just say sure, anything
Speaker 1: to make it stop. And Faucci is out there telling
Speaker 1: everyone to get vaccind how's that going to go? Play seven?
Speaker 1: You have said you would get vaccinated publicly, doctor Fauci,
Speaker 1: any update on when you know? I don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait to see we're getting a shipment, maybe
Speaker 1: already have a shipment here on the NIH campus. I
Speaker 1: will as soon as my turn comes up, which likely
Speaker 1: will be very soon. I'm going to be available to
Speaker 1: get vaccinated publicly so that people can see that I
Speaker 1: feel strongly that this is something we should do, and
Speaker 1: hopefully that will encourage many more people to get vaccinated.
Speaker 1: They're going to say that as long as they think
Speaker 1: they're still people that have to get vaccinated. Even those
Speaker 1: who have been vaccinated don't get to live their lives
Speaker 1: in greater freedom. That becomes the coercive mechanism. That then
Speaker 1: becomes sorry. I know you did your part. You've listened
Speaker 1: to FOUCH all along, You've worn the masks, you've you've
Speaker 1: social distanced, you lost your business, you shut down, you're
Speaker 1: gone bankrupt. You did everything the FOUCH told you, and
Speaker 1: you think, okay, well I got vaccinated. Now it should
Speaker 1: be good to go. Right now, I don't have to
Speaker 1: worry anymore. And Fouchers did to say, well, maybe you
Speaker 1: got vaccinated, but there are a lot of millions of
Speaker 1: other people that didn't get vaccinated. And let's all understand this.
Speaker 1: If we can just get nursing homes vaccinated across the
Speaker 1: country by the numbers, this is not this is not
Speaker 1: just a guess. By the numbers, the monthly death rate
Speaker 1: should should drop in half by the time. So if
Speaker 1: we get by the end of December, if nursing homes
Speaker 1: are all vaccinated across the country, which would be pretty ambitious,
Speaker 1: that may not happen. But let's say by by mid January,
Speaker 1: late January, all the nursing homes have had all their
Speaker 1: residents vaccinated against this. You should you should see a
Speaker 1: fifty percent or more decline in mortality from the virus.
Speaker 1: Fifty percent on a monthly basis, and that's based on
Speaker 1: what we've ordered. That's that's on months, and fifty percent
Speaker 1: of deaths up to this point have been nursing home residents.
Speaker 1: Fifty percent of them up to this point. I've been
Speaker 1: nursing home residence. So you could even make a case
Speaker 1: that should be once you get all the nursing homes vaccinated,
Speaker 1: it might even be a larger number than fifty percent.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, when do we actually get to live our
Speaker 1: lives again, When do we get to stop wearing these
Speaker 1: dumb masks all the time? I hate them. I hate it.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's submission to popular panic and to
Speaker 1: the will of the mob. I have to wear a
Speaker 1: mask outside now in New York City. This is idiotic.
Speaker 1: There's no science to back that up. Don't you know.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to listen to these lives and they
Speaker 1: pull the science card, but there's no science that says
Speaker 1: you got to wear a mask outside. Think about it
Speaker 1: this way. People have been eating in New York City
Speaker 1: restaurants for months now, and they have this test and
Speaker 1: trace program, which is pretty much a joke, but you know,
Speaker 1: they do some testing and tracing, and think about it
Speaker 1: this way. They have looked at the data and told
Speaker 1: you that when people sit in an enclosed space in
Speaker 1: a restaurant with no mask, which is what happens when
Speaker 1: you're eating, that's one percent of the spread. But we
Speaker 1: are all supposed to believe. We are all supposed to
Speaker 1: think that outdoors, there's a lot of spread happening that
Speaker 1: outdoors you should be wearing a mask based on what
Speaker 1: Where is the data to suggest that outdoor mask wearing
Speaker 1: is intelligent and that people should be doing this. Where
Speaker 1: is Oh, it's a solidarity, think it's a political thing.
Speaker 1: Notice the moment that the science does not clearly does
Speaker 1: not support one of their positions, The conversation suddenly shifts,
Speaker 1: the moment that they can't just yell science at the
Speaker 1: top of their lungs and all of us go, oh, okay, Well,
Speaker 1: if it's what the science says, what do they do?
Speaker 1: They just shift and say, no, now it's actually about politics.
Speaker 1: Now it's about something else. Now there are other considerations
Speaker 1: that we're all supposed to have. Oh isn't that? Isn't
Speaker 1: that convenient? Convenient? Indeed? And as for the vaccine itself,
Speaker 1: I have concerns here from what I'm reading in some
Speaker 1: of the analyzes of the data, not that the vaccine
Speaker 1: does not work. I think the vaccine seems to work
Speaker 1: quite well, but they they're telling well, here here's what
Speaker 1: Faucci is saying about this play six sa we did
Speaker 1: not see any severe adverse events. There is reactivegenicity, which
Speaker 1: really means the typical things that you get or some
Speaker 1: muscle aches, maybe a little malaise, sometimes a fever. It
Speaker 1: usually doesn't last any more than twenty four to thirty
Speaker 1: six hours. But with regards to severe adverse events, that's
Speaker 1: the reason why when you go from tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of people to now two point nine million doses have
Speaker 1: been shipped to about one hundred and forty five locations today.
Speaker 1: So when you get that many people, you want to
Speaker 1: make sure you keep a heads up for the occurrence
Speaker 1: of any adverse events that you did not see in
Speaker 1: the TRUBE. He's saying that, you know, they they may
Speaker 1: learn some stuff here as people are getting this vaccination
Speaker 1: about the reactivity, I think is what you call it.
Speaker 1: There were a plant there were people who got fevers,
Speaker 1: who got uh, you know, extreme fatigue, things like that
Speaker 1: from taking the vaccine. And you know they also in
Speaker 1: the test that that Fiser did, they mostly I think
Speaker 1: is five to ten percent of the people were over
Speaker 1: sixty in the Fiser So most of the people who
Speaker 1: got the vaccine in the Fiser trial were younger, healthier, people.
Speaker 1: That's also an interesting Well we'll see how this plays out,
Speaker 1: because if you're thirty years old, why you're going to
Speaker 1: get this vaccine in six months when everyone who's at
Speaker 1: high risk already has gotten it. Think about this, Think
Speaker 1: about the way this will be rolled out. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have people that are very the people that are at
Speaker 1: high risk, we're gonna get it first, and so over
Speaker 1: time you'll have fewer and fewer people who are really incentivized.
Speaker 1: Because well, if everyone in the senior homes, you know,
Speaker 1: if I didn't have to worry about people over fifty
Speaker 1: getting COVID, really over sixty five getting COVID, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: worry about this really at all. It's less dangerous to
Speaker 1: people under fifty. It's less dangerous than a bad seasonal flu.
Speaker 1: That's just a fact. So if we get the people
Speaker 1: in the high risk category vaccinated, why is the X
Speaker 1: factation beyond that supposed to be that everyone what I mean,
Speaker 1: are we gonna are we gonna not achieve herd immunity?
Speaker 1: And even when five year olds haven't been vaccinated, there'd
Speaker 1: be a lot of parents are gonna say, look, I'm
Speaker 1: not sticking this thing in my kid. There's no long
Speaker 1: term trial that's been done on this, and kids are
Speaker 1: at no risk, so why should And kids can barely,
Speaker 1: if ever, spread it to people who are older than them.
Speaker 1: So would you kids have to get it too? You know?
Speaker 1: When they talk about herd immunity. I think this is
Speaker 1: going to be a very interesting discussion. What does that
Speaker 1: even it's a concept, what does that even mean in practice?
Speaker 1: But see, they don't want you to ask any of
Speaker 1: these questions. They don't want you to think about this.
Speaker 1: They just want you to jab the needle in your arm,
Speaker 1: shut up, wear that mask, do what you're told. America
Speaker 1: is not the give me liberty or give me death
Speaker 1: country that we thought we were. We've learned that. It's
Speaker 1: been very unfortunate. It's been very sad, although I am
Speaker 1: pleased every time I see some business owner who tells
Speaker 1: one of these health bureaucrats to go stuff it. You're
Speaker 1: in the freedom. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: First of look, it's our responsibility. Where your masks, social distance,
Speaker 1: wash your hands, you know, be careful. I mean that's
Speaker 1: what we have to do. If you've been around somebody,
Speaker 1: or you test it positive like I did, and you know,
Speaker 1: a month or so ago, you got to be out
Speaker 1: a quarantine, which I did. So that's what you have
Speaker 1: to do. But we got to get this economy going.
Speaker 1: Look at this, go back to Steve. These states that
Speaker 1: have the bad unemployment, that's what they're doing. They keep
Speaker 1: shutting these things down. How can you how can people
Speaker 1: put food on the table if they don't have a job.
Speaker 1: And you know, these guys like Cuomo, they don't care.
Speaker 1: They're doing fine. He's always done fine. It's everybody else
Speaker 1: and is he's hurting the poorest families in his state.
Speaker 1: We're not going to do that in Florida. Florida is
Speaker 1: showing that this stuff that they've made us all do
Speaker 1: these lockdowns and these extreme responses, all this it's unnecessary.
Speaker 1: Why have all these mandates when Florida is doing better
Speaker 1: than a place like New York is doing right now,
Speaker 1: or better than a place like California is doing overall
Speaker 1: without all the mandates, right or rather they have the
Speaker 1: mandates in Florida does not, So what advantage is there
Speaker 1: of them? The data does not support it. But then
Speaker 1: what you see, and this is what Senator Rick Scott
Speaker 1: brings up here, and the people that are making these decisions,
Speaker 1: the people that are saying these things, they are not
Speaker 1: themselves suffering. Governor Cuomo hasn't missed a paycheck. Governor Newsom
Speaker 1: hasn't missed a paycheck. These are wealthy people who continue
Speaker 1: to really in many ways grow wealthier or as their
Speaker 1: power increases, it just means that they'll have more opportunities
Speaker 1: to cash in on their political on their political power
Speaker 1: down the line, the accumulation of this will just mean that,
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're bigger names now, they are known
Speaker 1: more in national level circles. So all the influence, peddling,
Speaker 1: all the stuff, all the ways they'll be able to
Speaker 1: monetize this period, those continue for them. But we were
Speaker 1: never all in this together. We were never all in
Speaker 1: this together. There were some people who are actually suffering
Speaker 1: terribly economically from this. They're watching their businesses be destroyed,
Speaker 1: they're going bankrupt, they're they're having a horrible time of it.
Speaker 1: And there are other people who very clearly are able
Speaker 1: to just continue on as is and not suffer any
Speaker 1: particular consequences from this. There's a lockdown for them just
Speaker 1: means work from home. For a lot of people, it's
Speaker 1: a dream come true. Look, I'm sitting here telling you
Speaker 1: right now, I am perfectly happy to not have to
Speaker 1: go to a formal radio studio anymore. There's no advantage
Speaker 1: for me in that. Right now, I live in New
Speaker 1: York City, and I have to go into a TV
Speaker 1: studio every day, and I have to interact in the
Speaker 1: outside world in New York. So I'm subjected to a
Speaker 1: lot of the COVID nonsense as well as the COVID risks.
Speaker 1: But for tons of people, I mean, if you live
Speaker 1: in a big house in the suburbs and you know,
Speaker 1: this is just meant you've really gotten used to ordering,
Speaker 1: you know, your your groceries from Amazon and having Uber Eats,
Speaker 1: you know, deliver Chinese food to you. That's all this
Speaker 1: is really meant for them. And you know you don't
Speaker 1: get to go to big parties for a while. Oh
Speaker 1: you know. Oh well, so some people have had a
Speaker 1: terrible time of this and others have not, And the
Speaker 1: media is overwhelmingly representative of the people that have actually
Speaker 1: thrived financially and economically during the pandemic. I've done quite
Speaker 1: well while all of this was happening. That's that's the truth,
Speaker 1: you know, the media has been part of this class
Speaker 1: that has benefited from it in many ways. So I
Speaker 1: just I continued it to see this disconnect and this
Speaker 1: lack of appreciation in the media for the people out
Speaker 1: there who are just saying, you know what am I
Speaker 1: supposed to do here? You know, making a decision that
Speaker 1: ruined someone's business, that bankrupts their family. That should not
Speaker 1: be taken lightly, and it's it should not be something
Speaker 1: the government is even able to do. And they've been
Speaker 1: doing it to millions of people across the country, and
Speaker 1: the speak truth to power. Oh, we're the guardians of
Speaker 1: the republic. Journals out there. They haven't cared about this.
Speaker 1: They haven't been doing all they can to raise this
Speaker 1: plight to public consciousness. No, they're they're saying, wear your mask.
Speaker 1: Shut up. You know, it's not about getting a haircut.
Speaker 1: Remember when they used to say that it was just
Speaker 1: because people wanted haircuts. Thanks for listening to The Bus
Speaker 1: Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. The good
Speaker 1: news is that people have had enough enough with the
Speaker 1: mask shaming, enough with the tyrannical health inspectors. I was
Speaker 1: trying to track down where this was. This is already
Speaker 1: going viral on social media. It's a guy, and I'll
Speaker 1: just tell you he's wearing some pretty tight, tight shorts,
Speaker 1: which is getting a lot of attention. He's wearing some
Speaker 1: very tight shorts and he definitely could use a little
Speaker 1: more a little more space than them to to kind
Speaker 1: of let him relax a little bit. Because he goes
Speaker 1: up to a woman and it looks like they're in
Speaker 1: a big grocery store, department store or something like, not
Speaker 1: a department store, a grocery store or a big box
Speaker 1: store of some kind. And this is a woman and
Speaker 1: she's being approached by this guy because she's not oh oh,
Speaker 1: she's not wearing a mask. And here's how the exchange
Speaker 1: goes play. Put your mask on, get away from me.
Speaker 1: Doesn't bother anybody else that she doesn't have to wear
Speaker 1: a mask that we all do. Just go away, stay
Speaker 1: six feet away from me, then, no, get away from me. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: please get away from me right now. No, you don't
Speaker 1: know why. You don't need to come near me. She
Speaker 1: has from walk away from me, STARp. Please get away
Speaker 1: from me. You don't care leave me alone alone, she put,
Speaker 1: she get out of here. I know who you voted for.
Speaker 1: That's my favorite. My favorite is the Lettian. I know
Speaker 1: who you voted for. Yeah, she does. Guy's clearly a
Speaker 1: Biden voter. Because this is so political for these people.
Speaker 1: You know, you want to talk about science, I want
Speaker 1: to talk about numbers. You know what the chances are
Speaker 1: that this guy who's wearing a mask, who's in this
Speaker 1: very large store that walks past this this woman who
Speaker 1: isn't you know, isn't at that moment wearing a mask,
Speaker 1: The chance that that he is going to get infected
Speaker 1: with COVID nineteen from this kind of an encounter is
Speaker 1: effectively zero. It's not it's not like a maybe, it's not. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's pretty much zero. You know. It's as close to
Speaker 1: zero as we can get in any realistic sense of
Speaker 1: science and data and probability. But he wants to start
Speaker 1: a big thing. He wants to chase her around and
Speaker 1: demand that she wear a mask. And he said something
Speaker 1: I think was very telling too. It was, we all
Speaker 1: have to wear a mask. So she asked to as well.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that in all this too, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of we all have to suffer in this together,
Speaker 1: instead of saying, hmm, maybe this person's onto something. Maybe
Speaker 1: some of this is dumb, there's no need for us
Speaker 1: to really be doing it. Oh that's that's not the
Speaker 1: that's not the approach, that's not the view that has
Speaker 1: taken here. So this guy's indicative. I had someone approached
Speaker 1: me over the summer. Do you know how many cases
Speaker 1: there were in New York City this summer? Like none?
Speaker 1: There were a few one hundred. There's twenty million people
Speaker 1: in New York State. There were like a few hundred
Speaker 1: COVID cases at any time in New York. And I
Speaker 1: had some guy get up an eye face. I told
Speaker 1: him to call the health authorities. It's like, what is
Speaker 1: wrong with you? I'm not sick, and the chance of
Speaker 1: me being sick is, at that point in the summertime
Speaker 1: was like one in a million. And you're gonna harass
Speaker 1: me over this just because people can't think for themselves.
Speaker 1: This is what you see. There's so many weak willed,
Speaker 1: weak minded individuals out there, unable to control their anxiety,
Speaker 1: in their fear, and they just believe whatever the experts
Speaker 1: will tell them. The experts. Any intelligent person who who
Speaker 1: was thoughtful and has good judgment, knows that in most
Speaker 1: areas of critical decision making in public life or just
Speaker 1: life in general, you can find experts to tell you
Speaker 1: one thing, and you'll find experts to tell you another thing.
Speaker 1: That's just the way it is. It's just the way
Speaker 1: it goes. But no, they think this appeal to the experts.
Speaker 1: All the experts told me this thing. I'm so focused
Speaker 1: on what the experts say. That means that it shuts
Speaker 1: down all discussion. That means that there's no longer any
Speaker 1: reason whatsoever for us to ask any questions about this.
Speaker 1: I like when people ask questions. I like when they
Speaker 1: push back. I expect it. I think it's American. I
Speaker 1: even go to that place. I go to that extent.
Speaker 1: And so I don't know where that storre was. And
Speaker 1: this is a guy Nick the Greek restaurant on I
Speaker 1: can't I don't know if it's in California or New York.
Speaker 1: I think it's in California. This this exchange, and this
Speaker 1: one is also going viral today. Here's a guy who's
Speaker 1: just losing it with these these little bureaucrat health inspectors
Speaker 1: who show up and they're you know issuing citations and
Speaker 1: fines for this musical chairs game of Oh, we have
Speaker 1: new COVID restrictions. Now, oh, I gotta listen to the
Speaker 1: new COVID restrictions. Here's how here's how that went, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna play a good chunk of this for you, Producer,
Speaker 1: Mark hit It. I followed the rules. I continue to
Speaker 1: follow the rules, and you are still time after time
Speaker 1: are giving the citations. My business. What if I employees
Speaker 1: tableside just because the health departments have the whole process
Speaker 1: to go through. That takes a lot of that takes
Speaker 1: my pay. Who are you to make those decisions. I
Speaker 1: chose to cel tests by putting my tails outside. I
Speaker 1: be hearing it again. I never saw one single person outside.
Speaker 1: I did all pay out foot and delivery to what
Speaker 1: exactly I was supposed to be doing. That's exactly what
Speaker 1: I did. I did not break any end consuming the law.
Speaker 1: I did not bring any rule where there is breaking
Speaker 1: right now by operating without a comment because you guys
Speaker 1: put this close on the restaurant, right so you youause
Speaker 1: you for a second. Let's pause you for a second.
Speaker 1: So they change the rules constantly, and then they harass
Speaker 1: people that are trying to comply with the rules make
Speaker 1: their lives harder. And and then there's no like good
Speaker 1: faith exception. You're okay, you were trying to comply. We're
Speaker 1: not going to be paying the ass bureaucrats. We're actually
Speaker 1: going to allow you to live your life and to
Speaker 1: try to make a living and try to pay your
Speaker 1: bills and try to feed yourself. There's none of that. No,
Speaker 1: that that's that's not allowed. No. Instead, it's we're writing
Speaker 1: you up. You're not obeying the rules. Another citation here.
Speaker 1: Here you go. The rules keep changing. The rules are
Speaker 1: bull The rules are based on the whim of tyrants.
Speaker 1: K I like this guy. He keeps digging it. He's saying, look,
Speaker 1: I'm doing this stuff. You're saying now they want him.
Speaker 1: It sounds like they want him to wait for them
Speaker 1: to check to see if he's done the new thing
Speaker 1: they've told him to do before he can serve food again.
Speaker 1: What kind of idiocy is this? Go back play more.
Speaker 1: Let's hear it. Your own rule and you're getting by
Speaker 1: citation for your own rules for it. It's not that
Speaker 1: not here, So you gotta give me a closure citation
Speaker 1: based on that issue. Closures to closing. I'm not issuing
Speaker 1: the citation the closure the restaurant already it has been suspended. However,
Speaker 1: your refusal to close warrant a the country. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do with my call. Aren't you gonna pay our rest? No,
Speaker 1: don't owe okay gon to pare her. I want to
Speaker 1: close it. I we need to reopen. You're not a man.
Speaker 1: I told you already he put every open today to
Speaker 1: be open right now. However, is that he she said
Speaker 1: that opens? Yeah, mistal steps the steps that you need
Speaker 1: to take to make sure that you can open your business.
Speaker 1: You couldn't have been you could have re open? How ready?
Speaker 1: How smith steps are listening in the records, I called
Speaker 1: the guy. The guys I spoke to the phone was
Speaker 1: a supervisor because he made in a stake. That's on me.
Speaker 1: He made a stake. I just recorded all my phone
Speaker 1: what he's said, what he did, he told me. I
Speaker 1: put it in writing to him on the email. I
Speaker 1: will follow the rules and I will not put my
Speaker 1: team was proud like you're kind of you're getting the gist.
Speaker 1: Aren't you a bunch of bureaucrats? Pay with your tax dollars?
Speaker 1: Harassing this guy, what what has he done wrong? You know,
Speaker 1: he's not serving rotten food to people and getting them sick.
Speaker 1: He's providing a service that the public wants. He's trying
Speaker 1: to feed his family by feeding the public. He's complying
Speaker 1: with all these rules. But they don't. They feel like
Speaker 1: he did the steps and didn't you know, check with
Speaker 1: them or something. I mean, and they're giving them a citation.
Speaker 1: They can't just show up and say, hey, man, look,
Speaker 1: we know this is a tough time. We know that,
Speaker 1: you know, everyone's doing the best they can. Could you
Speaker 1: just please Our job is to check in and we're
Speaker 1: trying to you know, keep people safe here. Just do
Speaker 1: these things and don't worry about it. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: we're not gonna write you up or anything. What else
Speaker 1: is please? You know, please get it? No, of course
Speaker 1: not that would be reasonable, right, And even that's annoyed.
Speaker 1: I say, like, that's not even reasonable. But at least
Speaker 1: that's that's making some effort to be decent human beings
Speaker 1: under the circumstances. At least, that's making some overture to
Speaker 1: sanity and normalcy and reasonableness. But no, these bureaucrats, they're
Speaker 1: on a total power trip. They get paid, they don't care.
Speaker 1: They're still they're gonna be ordering, you know, delivery from
Speaker 1: any number of play you know, seamless or dwor dash
Speaker 1: or whatever, from restaurants like this guy. And you know
Speaker 1: they feel like, well, one less restaurant. Who cares. We
Speaker 1: got plenty to choose from. No sympathy, no decency. This
Speaker 1: is what we're up against all across the country. Little
Speaker 1: armies of bureaucrats, little armies of imbeciles running around enacting
Speaker 1: the will of tyrants like Cuomo and Newsome and wit,
Speaker 1: mur and Murphy and Wolf. You know, just go down
Speaker 1: the list. Idiots who are ruining businesses, who are ruining
Speaker 1: people's lives over what, oh, to protect us. They're not
Speaker 1: protecting you from COVID. It's not working. All these rules
Speaker 1: they have, it doesn't work, doesn't get it done. They
Speaker 1: can pretend otherwise, but we all see the data, We
Speaker 1: see the mandates, we can look at the timelines. It
Speaker 1: is not working. So what do they do more of it?
Speaker 1: This is really a lesson in bureaucracy. This is really
Speaker 1: a lesson in why we have limited government, why we
Speaker 1: want to limit the government's power to inflict itself upon you.
Speaker 1: We're getting a very real schooling in that right now
Speaker 1: for people that are wondering. And you know, we used
Speaker 1: to think of, oh, the big threat is the federal
Speaker 1: government of the states will protect us. Not if you
Speaker 1: live in a blue tyrant state like New Yorker, California,
Speaker 1: and even those of you who live in Texas who
Speaker 1: are listening to this. Texas hasn't been great on COVID,
Speaker 1: it's just been okay. You know, Florida is really the
Speaker 1: model to pursue here, and Governor de Santis has been
Speaker 1: nothing but vilified by the media. As you know, he
Speaker 1: is successful in how he's handled this, and they hate
Speaker 1: him for being successful. That has been the approach that
Speaker 1: that's the way the media handles this stuff. That's what
Speaker 1: they do. I feel terrible for the owner of Nick
Speaker 1: the Greek Diner. I feel terrible for the woman who
Speaker 1: has some stranger and we had to cut it out.
Speaker 1: I mean, he was cursing at her. But until until
Speaker 1: we realize that our freedom is not coming back unless
Speaker 1: we fight for it, they will continue this nonsense. You're
Speaker 1: in the freedom mind. This is the Buck Sex and
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Senator Bernie Sanders has said he doesn't think
Speaker 1: the progressive movement has a big enough seat at the
Speaker 1: table with the Biden team. Do you agree with him?
Speaker 1: I do, and this is, you know, what we have
Speaker 1: been saying and asking for. We worked diligently in trying
Speaker 1: to make sure that the people understood that it was
Speaker 1: important for us to get rid of Trump, to have
Speaker 1: someone who was going to be partner with us in
Speaker 1: governing for progress in our country, and we continue to
Speaker 1: be hopeful in having that partnership as wen on behalf
Speaker 1: of our country. Are you unhappy with any of his
Speaker 1: contacts being holistically I am not. I think that they
Speaker 1: have been quite diligent in putting together a really well
Speaker 1: thought out transition team not progressive enough. I know that's
Speaker 1: a lot of ilhan om. Are you hearing for one day?
Speaker 1: But I thought you should. You should know that there's
Speaker 1: this complaint going on from the left of the Democrat
Speaker 1: Party or the left wing, the furthest left wing the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party that Biden is not yet hearing their voices.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you here's what I think is happening.
Speaker 1: I think that they are setting this up in the
Speaker 1: early stages so that they can present it. They're going
Speaker 1: to present this as, Oh, it's just good old blue
Speaker 1: collar Joe. You know, Joe Biden is not as socialist.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's not a radical. You don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about good old Joe, right that that's gonna be the
Speaker 1: way that they set this whole thing up. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be the way that they're presenting this to the public.
Speaker 1: And then as soon as they go into the actual
Speaker 1: implementation phase of a Biden and I know, look, maybe
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, but I mean, i'd ask any of
Speaker 1: you who are who are at this point still unwilling
Speaker 1: to unwilling to even talk about that or don't want
Speaker 1: to hear about it, what the percentage, what the likelihood
Speaker 1: is that it's not going to be a Biden administration.
Speaker 1: I'm really curious. I mean, I want to know what
Speaker 1: people think. They believe it it's it's gonna it's fifty fifty. Still,
Speaker 1: what do they think because I think it's about one um.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean zero, but it means it's about so
Speaker 1: you know, you got about a one on one hundred
Speaker 1: shot here of this thing turning around at best. At
Speaker 1: best and in the meantime, they're mobilized, they're moving, they're
Speaker 1: setting people up, they're putting people in place. They're going
Speaker 1: forward with this so we can be as intransigent as
Speaker 1: we want. They're going to be swearing this guy that
Speaker 1: the system is going to swear this guy in on
Speaker 1: January twenty. That's going to happen. And I think that
Speaker 1: they're trying to present this as a moderate administration. I
Speaker 1: think they're trying to present this as, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: good old Joe. But it'll be just like the Obama administration.
Speaker 1: Remember the Obama administration. You had this guy who came
Speaker 1: in and he was supposed to be Obama, was supposed
Speaker 1: to be a great uniter, he was going to heal
Speaker 1: the country, he was gonna stop the rise of the seas,
Speaker 1: and you know, all this really pompous rhetoric around all
Speaker 1: the great things Obama is going to do. And then
Speaker 1: you had a pretty dogmatic, you know, liberal leftist, the
Speaker 1: most left wing guy in the United States Senate before
Speaker 1: it became the president, pushing as far as he could
Speaker 1: towards socialized medicine. And that's not the same thing as
Speaker 1: saying Obamacare is socialized medicine, but pushing as far as
Speaker 1: he conceivably could in that direction and get away with it.
Speaker 1: They wanted amnesty, they weren't able to get it at
Speaker 1: that point in time. But you know, when you talk
Speaker 1: about the left wing policy items, left wing agenda items
Speaker 1: that ilhan Omar wants, Biden is going to be pretty
Speaker 1: close to where they are. And a lot of this
Speaker 1: stuff fifteen dollars minimum wage, Biden administration is going to
Speaker 1: want to go for that. Forgiving student debt, I think
Speaker 1: you're going to have some version of that via executive order,
Speaker 1: even from Joe Biden. I'm gonna say, all right, we're
Speaker 1: gonna wave debt for everybody who has, you know, less
Speaker 1: than who has a fifty thousand of debt ten thousand,
Speaker 1: or they'll come up with some formulation, let's just wave
Speaker 1: it away. So I don't want anyone to be fooled
Speaker 1: while there. They want you to believe that Biden is
Speaker 1: a moderate and a centrist, and I do think at
Speaker 1: some level he will be boring. But a lot of
Speaker 1: bureaucrats that push terrible policies are boring. Doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: they aren't all so a threat doesn't mean that they aren't. Also,
Speaker 1: enormously problematic, and Omar and AOC, their whole game is
Speaker 1: going to be the left wing and the Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 1: It really is still the Sanders wing of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 1: Their game is going to be telling everybody that they're not,
Speaker 1: you know, they're not progressive enough in the Biden White House,
Speaker 1: that they're not pushing hard of they're not radical enough.
Speaker 1: But they know that they're never going to get all
Speaker 1: the things that they want, and so their role in
Speaker 1: all of this is to play be a foil in
Speaker 1: a sense to Biden, to provide him with the oh,
Speaker 1: I'm not as crazy as the AOC wing, I'm a moderate. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: in reality, Biden's going to be, you know, getting them
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of the way on all these positions
Speaker 1: that AOC and the and the far left Democrats want.
Speaker 1: So that's I think that's going to be a perception
Speaker 1: versus reality gap that we're going to have to be
Speaker 1: aware of them. We're going to have to address you're
Speaker 1: you know, you're not going to have the media being
Speaker 1: honest at all about what's going on with the Biden administration.
Speaker 1: Mean that that much is quite clear. We all are
Speaker 1: aware of that. Right. I mean, that's that's the understatement
Speaker 1: of the year. The media is not going to be
Speaker 1: covering this in any way that tells you they're not
Speaker 1: going to tell you anything with the Biden administration. The
Speaker 1: Biden administration doesn't want you to know, and we therefore
Speaker 1: are going to be the ones who have to pick
Speaker 1: up the slack and try to hold them to account
Speaker 1: and try to speak the truth about what's really going on.
Speaker 1: And I think you're going to have a more left
Speaker 1: wing Biden administration than a lot of people even right
Speaker 1: now on the right can can foresee or will publicly say.

Speaker 1: so we go to buck Sexton dot com and with it.
Speaker 1: Let us get to it, shall we, Madeline Kaiken? Actually
Speaker 1: not before we get before you to that producer, Mark.
Speaker 1: How are you doing, buddy? How are you feeling? You're ready?
Speaker 1: You're ready for the vacation coming up here? I'm very ready.
Speaker 1: It will be a nice time to rest and relax
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, I think I think a lot
Speaker 1: of sleep is going to be what people really need
Speaker 1: over the vacation. I think that sounds great. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spend a lot of it in bed. What's
Speaker 1: on the what's on the Netflix queue to watch list?
Speaker 1: I think my wife and I just agreed to be
Speaker 1: want to watch There's a Challenger documentary out. It's about
Speaker 1: the spaceship. Yes, that looked very interesting and I've had
Speaker 1: a couple of friends tell me that it was really good,
Speaker 1: So I think that's next up on the docket. That
Speaker 1: sounds cool, im. I'd actually watched that with the Snow Princess. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it looks I saw the preview. It looked really cool
Speaker 1: and I wasn't alive during it, so it'll be kind
Speaker 1: of a history lesson for me. Yep, yep, yep. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's amazing when you when you were in like high school,
Speaker 1: everyone had cell phones, didn't they. Yes, I got my
Speaker 1: first time, my first cell phone in middle school. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When I was in high school, if you had a
Speaker 1: cell phone, you were like really baller, you were really cool,
Speaker 1: were like Zach Morris. Yeah, exactly, you had it looked
Speaker 1: like you were calling in an airstrike in Vietnam or something.
Speaker 1: It was a long you know, the phones were very different.
Speaker 1: The star tack was the was the model as a
Speaker 1: motor rolla phone, I remember, And those were the first
Speaker 1: phones that you saw in really widespread usage that everyone
Speaker 1: just wanted to have a star tack. And it's funny
Speaker 1: because now they look like something from ancient times. Right.
Speaker 1: Ever since the advent of smartphones that I remember, I
Speaker 1: had a startak. I think I had one senior year
Speaker 1: and you had to be very tight on your cell
Speaker 1: phone minutes, right, if you used if you went over,
Speaker 1: you might have had one hundred minutes a month or something,
Speaker 1: and if you went over, it was like a dollar
Speaker 1: a minute. You know, this is just this crazy world.
Speaker 1: Do you ever think about how many minutes you're on
Speaker 1: the phone anymore? No, not for this second. This used
Speaker 1: to be a thing. I mean you could run up
Speaker 1: if you called someone long distance, or if you call
Speaker 1: the family member overseas, you could have like a three
Speaker 1: hundred dollar phone call. That was a thing that would happen.
Speaker 1: You know, absolutely insane to think about that. You think
Speaker 1: about this. Now we got Skype, we got all these
Speaker 1: you can talk for free of all over the place.
Speaker 1: We have instantaneous communication. That's that's pretty much close to free.
Speaker 1: Certainly not paying tolls the way you used to. And
Speaker 1: you know, it was a common thing you'd go to,
Speaker 1: you'd go to places that you'd you'd say, oh, can
Speaker 1: I use the phone? They'd always say, oh is it
Speaker 1: long distance? Long distance didn't mean hey, are you gonna
Speaker 1: call like Shanghai. I mean, obviously that would count, but
Speaker 1: it was like, you're not gonna call your relatives at Ohio,
Speaker 1: are you? You know, like you couldn't do that because
Speaker 1: you're going to run up the tab. So I remember,
Speaker 1: imagine this pandemic without cell phones and technology and stuff. Oh,
Speaker 1: I actually think and I should bring this up more often.
Speaker 1: I think that if we didn't live in a time
Speaker 1: of so much instantaneous gratification, abundance and connectivity. That if
Speaker 1: we couldn't have people doing zoom calls from their couch,
Speaker 1: ordering from one hundred different online restaurants, having anything they
Speaker 1: want to deliver to their front door by Amazon. You know,
Speaker 1: if we didn't have all that, I think that there
Speaker 1: would be far more pushback on on what's going on.
Speaker 1: You know. Could you imagine if during the lockdown, all
Speaker 1: you could do was you had like ten channels of
Speaker 1: TV to watch. You could only cook for yourself, and
Speaker 1: you had to just I don't know, read books. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you only had the books that were on your bookshelf too.
Speaker 1: There was nothing like a kindle, that's right, No Kindle. No,
Speaker 1: you know, you couldn't go to a library, libraries, clothes,
Speaker 1: not that I mean, I don't know who goes to
Speaker 1: libraries anymore. But I actually have a library membership because
Speaker 1: you can get free Kindle books, any books. Really. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was unaware of that. So these are these are
Speaker 1: the changes that have happened over time. And I remember,
Speaker 1: I remember graduated from high school. I think I think
Speaker 1: the year two thousand was the the absolute pinnacle of
Speaker 1: I think the your two thousand was the pinnacle of
Speaker 1: human technology. Convenient communication. You could reach people, but we
Speaker 1: weren't all there wasn't the social media stuff. We weren't
Speaker 1: all online all the time. You still had to go
Speaker 1: to things to buy things, you know, so you could
Speaker 1: reach somebody you needed to reach, but you had to
Speaker 1: want to reach them. And there wasn't even really a
Speaker 1: text mess sage was around, but it wasn't wasn't the
Speaker 1: thing that it is now. I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people that don't want to respond to voicemails or even
Speaker 1: talk on the phone. They'll just respond to text. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: if somebody calls me, I'm like, why are you calling me?
Speaker 1: Just text me? Yeah, texting. You're part of this part
Speaker 1: of this generation, you and these twenty something young uns.
Speaker 1: I swear you whipper snappers. I swear it's crazy. I'm
Speaker 1: pushing thirty. Now, Buck, let's not go oh my gosh. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you're actually married too, So there's exactly all right. Let's
Speaker 1: get to it, Madelin, Right, Hello Bucket producer, Mark Buck.
Speaker 1: You gotta get on this air frier thing. Go get
Speaker 1: one now. I live out in a remote place with
Speaker 1: my extended family. This has been the best thing ever
Speaker 1: to hit the kitchen easy cooking and clean up. We
Speaker 1: have three. Now you're eating healthier without sacrificing taste. Like
Speaker 1: you're like, you're like, you are eating healthier. They make
Speaker 1: smaller ones for one or two people as well. I
Speaker 1: listen to your show almost every day. I appreciate the
Speaker 1: information shields up shields, I hold the line, lock and loaded.
Speaker 1: Whatever else you did, say, well, thank you, Madeline, And yes,
Speaker 1: those are some of our favorite phrases. So Mark, when
Speaker 1: you use the air fryer, do you have to like,
Speaker 1: do you have to oil or salt up the food
Speaker 1: or do you just put it in um? It depends
Speaker 1: on the recipe you have. Sometimes you'll spray like a
Speaker 1: little cooking spray in the thing just so nothing sticks.
Speaker 1: But no, you don't really have to. And obviously you see,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're making chicken season it like you
Speaker 1: normally would, you can you can do chicken in the
Speaker 1: air fryer. Yeah, you can do anything in their fryar.
Speaker 1: I told you I made you know, chicken cutlets. I
Speaker 1: made chicken cutlets in the air friar. Yeah, you just
Speaker 1: have to clean it. Does it take a really long
Speaker 1: time to cook? No? I think it's actually a little
Speaker 1: less than the oven would be because you're cooking from
Speaker 1: all directions. So I gotta tell you the snow Princess,
Speaker 1: I may get her. I may get her a gift
Speaker 1: that's similar to an air fry. I want to say
Speaker 1: it on air because then it won't be a surprise
Speaker 1: for her. But I'm worried that she'll use it to
Speaker 1: make delicious things that will make me even chubby or
Speaker 1: over this winter than I would otherwise be. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's a worry. Yeah, that sounds like a good thing. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, we are kind of heading into this period
Speaker 1: here whereverone's just going to be hunkering down. You know,
Speaker 1: I hope they don't close. At least at least with
Speaker 1: the gym. There's like some hope that I can still
Speaker 1: fit into my clothing. At least with the gym, there's
Speaker 1: sub hope. But you know, they're making it hard, making
Speaker 1: it challenging these days, that's for sure. So we will
Speaker 1: continue to look at this stuff, all right, Joe Happy
Speaker 1: Holiday's debut. Producer Mark and everyone else responsible for the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt radio excellence, Well you're talking to him, it's bucking, producer, Mark.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about your discussion of Joe Biden dropping
Speaker 1: the doctor, it occurs to me that, in light of
Speaker 1: how this election went, perhaps Missus Biden should be referred
Speaker 1: to as a as farce Lady Shields. Hi, thanks for
Speaker 1: all you do well. Joe points for creativity. Man. I
Speaker 1: don't think anyone's gonna necessarily call her farce lady, though.
Speaker 1: I think that's probably not going to happen, NA gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Did you did you call did you go to it
Speaker 1: like one of those, you know, kind of hippie dippie
Speaker 1: schools mark where you called your your teachers by their
Speaker 1: first names, like college or high school high school. No,
Speaker 1: there's some places where they do that, you know, they
Speaker 1: call teachers by the first name. I'm just like, I
Speaker 1: don't know about that. I used to go with mister,
Speaker 1: mam sir. You know that's usually the Yeah. I would
Speaker 1: go with mister whoever the teacher is, or missus whoever
Speaker 1: the teacher is their name, Yeah, yeah, you know that's
Speaker 1: the I have had people tell me that I call
Speaker 1: them I've had I've had women. If you say mam too,
Speaker 1: they they think it's like an agist thing, and I
Speaker 1: feel like, you say mam to anybody. I feel like
Speaker 1: that's a respectful way to go. My father in law
Speaker 1: once got really mad at him for calling him sir,
Speaker 1: really mad at me for calling him sir because he
Speaker 1: said a team made it. It It made him sound old. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've heard that before too. I think it's funny. Occasionally
Speaker 1: people will reach out to me and they'll want like
Speaker 1: their son or something, will want, you know, a family
Speaker 1: friends and will want career advice or whatever. And I
Speaker 1: was laughing when they call me sir. I'm like, no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, like you call me buck, We're gonna
Speaker 1: do it sir likes, but I call it bed in fairness,
Speaker 1: I call everybody else sir. Yeah. So now that you're
Speaker 1: almost forty, you're gonna start getting called sir. I guess
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start getting called Oh my gosh, I am
Speaker 1: certainly doesn't help. Yeah, I'm gonna start getting called sir.
Speaker 1: I think that's real. All right, Well, let's see your
Speaker 1: Bob is up next. What's up, bob? Hey? Buck? Could
Speaker 1: you help out? I'm sorry, you could help out a
Speaker 1: lot of restaurant owners by publicizing this very simple idea.
Speaker 1: They should put a sign on their restaurants saying indoor
Speaker 1: dining is restricted to COVID nineteen survivors and those who
Speaker 1: have been vaccinated for more than two months, the health
Speaker 1: departments would could have no objections. There are millions of
Speaker 1: people who have survived COVID and would love to have
Speaker 1: a dinner out night. Their restaurants would at least relative,
Speaker 1: would be relatively full, and their livelihoods more secure. Keep
Speaker 1: up the great work, Buck, So, Bob, I agree with
Speaker 1: the sentiment here. I agree with what you are saying.
Speaker 1: But you know, the truth here is that they will
Speaker 1: not allow they will not allow it to be an
Speaker 1: honor system. You know, they're not going to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: you claim that you got vaccinated, so you because there
Speaker 1: will be people who lie about that. Obviously, it would
Speaker 1: be very tempting for a lot of people not to
Speaker 1: lie about it, who don't believe in all this crap
Speaker 1: that we're being made to do all the time. So
Speaker 1: they're not going to give you that ability. They're gonna
Speaker 1: want everyone to mask until everyone is not forced to
Speaker 1: mask anymore, for example. That's going to be the way
Speaker 1: this goes. And so your idea for letting people who
Speaker 1: have survived COVID have more access to dining. It makes
Speaker 1: sense from a science and medicine perspective, but remember this
Speaker 1: is being pushed by politics. This isn't being pushed by
Speaker 1: just a sober look at the data and what is
Speaker 1: fact school, what is accurate That there are a lot
Speaker 1: of political considerations coming into all of this. So that's
Speaker 1: that's what I would say about the restaurant idea you
Speaker 1: bring you. But I appreciate you writing Bob, I, I
Speaker 1: thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. When we'll
Speaker 1: continue to try to come up with things. I mean,
Speaker 1: I do believe that there's going to be some movement
Speaker 1: I've said this before where people who get vaccinated will
Speaker 1: wear like a yellow you know, wrist band or something
Speaker 1: that's so so that then they will And you'd say, well,
Speaker 1: it shouldn't come to that. Yeah, but if you're vaccinated,
Speaker 1: don't you want to not be harassed in public, if
Speaker 1: you don't want to wear a mask anymore? I mean,
Speaker 1: shouldn't there be some benefit for people that that, at
Speaker 1: least according to the system and the science, are at
Speaker 1: basically no risk anymore of getting or spreaded COVID spreading COVID.
Speaker 1: But maybe other people are going to say even people
Speaker 1: that oppose these mandates and lockdowns will say, well, we are.
Speaker 1: We should all be in it together when we are
Speaker 1: free of it too, And there shouldn't be some tiered
Speaker 1: system where some people, you know, can get away with
Speaker 1: this and other and others can't. I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: very complicated. There's a lot going on here. You're in
Speaker 1: the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: All right, We've got Ken writing in with more roll
Speaker 1: call here. Even with unlimited power, there's one thing that
Speaker 1: Democrats absolutely cannot and will not do. They will not
Speaker 1: cut spending. They would rather bankrupt America and blame it
Speaker 1: on Republicans. Can they will not cut spending. That's true.
Speaker 1: I think that we've got to be honest about this,
Speaker 1: this reality that the chance of Democrats getting really bullied
Speaker 1: or pushed around at all based on spending arguments, I
Speaker 1: think that's gonna that's not gonna happen. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to convince democrats now. After look, Trump spent
Speaker 1: a lot of money and we we we have entered
Speaker 1: a period here where the GOP isn't about limiting government
Speaker 1: and spending so much as it's doing the spending that
Speaker 1: they want to do. And that's that's just an honest
Speaker 1: assessment of it. I mean, we can try to talk
Speaker 1: around this as much as we want, we can try
Speaker 1: to get into other things, but the GOP, at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, has spent so much money and
Speaker 1: has has spent so many trillions above even the expected
Speaker 1: deficit this year that we're just we're not going to
Speaker 1: make any headway on this when we're not going to
Speaker 1: make any progress attacking the Democrats on being big spenders.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's what we're facing here. And as
Speaker 1: for bankrupting America, I mean, my concern about where the
Speaker 1: country's finances are going is that we let's say we
Speaker 1: get past this COVID thing, and then everyone realizes as
Speaker 1: we're getting closer to getting out of it, that there
Speaker 1: is a tremendous amount of financial dress that has not
Speaker 1: yet been worked out. There's a lot of there are
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there who you would think
Speaker 1: you would think would be able to maybe get get
Speaker 1: ahead of this and get past this, but you're going
Speaker 1: to find out no. Actually, landlords even you know, are
Speaker 1: going to be so behind because of misrent payments. Individuals
Speaker 1: are facing eviction in January, as you know at large numbers. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I know that we think of landlords usually
Speaker 1: as being able to do pretty well. And you know,
Speaker 1: landlords are the the privileged class, and that's true to extent.
Speaker 1: But you know, if you own property, you're renting it
Speaker 1: out to people, and you haven't been getting those checks,
Speaker 1: you've been covering that mortgage, maybe you need that money
Speaker 1: to pay your bills. So what happens to Wallace? I
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of financial pain, a lot of
Speaker 1: dislocation that's coming that people may not really be fully
Speaker 1: prepared for, and that could that could be tough, that
Speaker 1: could really hurt the the broader economy. What happens to
Speaker 1: all this accumulated debt. I mean, if the government just
Speaker 1: continues to try to pay everyone's bills, at some point,
Speaker 1: we've got to assume that that's going to have negative consequences.
Speaker 1: At some point, just having the government stepping in for
Speaker 1: a huge chunk of the economy that's been shut down,
Speaker 1: it's gonna have negative impact, gonna have negative effect. I
Speaker 1: think I think that's where we are. Kyle, next up here, Buck,
Speaker 1: I completely agree with your take on addressing Jill Biden
Speaker 1: as doctor. I'm married to someone with a PhD in
Speaker 1: an actual scientific field from a nationally reputable institution, and
Speaker 1: I can confirm from her that using the term doctor
Speaker 1: is relegated to a professional setting, as in something you
Speaker 1: address a superior as a sign of respect you added
Speaker 1: into your signature block at the end of a work email.
Speaker 1: Missus Biden being addressed as doctor in a casual setting
Speaker 1: comes off as highly pretentious or something someone with a
Speaker 1: low sense of self worth does to elevate themselves in
Speaker 1: their own mind. I think I know what missus Biden's
Speaker 1: PhD stands for, piled high and deep. Kyle, look at you,
Speaker 1: you cheeky fellow. You Yeah. I think that my thoughts
Speaker 1: on this are clear. I was on this train. I've
Speaker 1: been on this train for years. I don't think you
Speaker 1: should retain titles when you no longer have a certain job.
Speaker 1: And I even slip up on this sometimes, but I
Speaker 1: don't think you should be mayor when you're no longer mayor.
Speaker 1: I don't think you should be congressman or speaker when
Speaker 1: you're no longer either of those things. And I damn
Speaker 1: sure it don't think that you should be referred to
Speaker 1: as a doctor with your PhD is like something that
Speaker 1: you cut off the back of a cereal box. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you look at me with my PhD. Nah. Sorry, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna cut it. Please go check out bucksxon dot
Speaker 1: com today. We've got our latest posting stories up there,
Speaker 1: and also pass the buck, especially as we're going into
Speaker 1: this new year, this new era in our politics. I
Speaker 1: think that the more people that know about the buck
Speaker 1: sex and show, the more folks well of listening. So
Speaker 1: please spread the word until tomorrow. Shields High
