1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. A story about mail 2 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: in ballot frau that you need to know. An assessment 3 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: on foreign threats to the twenty twenty election delayed by 4 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: the intelligence community. Hunter Biden asked the Chinese oligarch for 5 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: ten million dollars, and will there be COVID mutations? Buck Sexton, 6 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:36,919 Speaker 1: coding the news and disseminating information is actionable intelligence. Make 7 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: no mistake America great American again. This is the Buck 8 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Former CIA analysts. I can speak to three 9 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: hours without a phone call. Try doing that sometimes. One 10 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: of the laws that have to be confirmed and I 11 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: think reaffirmed our state laws, so it's not in our purview, 12 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: but the state law are set, and then we have 13 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: federal elections. So what we've heard about what happened in Wisconsin, 14 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: what happened in Nevada, I think is absolutely true and 15 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: we have to prevent it from happening again. I think 16 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: state legislators, legislatures will need to reaffirm that election law 17 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: can only be changed by a state legislature. So I 18 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of work to be done. While 19 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: we will not dictate it to the states, I think 20 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: we should have hearings going into the next year, hearing 21 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: from state legislatures and what they're going to do to 22 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: make sure election law is upheld, not changed by people 23 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: who are not legislators. And we do have an interest 24 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: in that. I don't want it to be federalized. Many 25 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: on the other side of the aisle would just soon 26 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: federalize it and mail everybody a ballot and we'll have 27 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: this universal corruption throughout the land. But what I think 28 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: we need to do is keep it at the state level. 29 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: But we can't just say it didn't happen. We can't 30 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: just say, oh, four thousand people voted in Nevada that 31 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: we're non citizens and we're just going to ignore it. 32 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: We're going to sweep it under the rugs. So the 33 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: courts have decided the facts. The courts have not decided 34 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: the facts. The courts never looked at the facts. The 35 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: courts don't like elections since they stayed out of it 36 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: by finding an excuse, standing or otherwise to stay out 37 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: of it. But the fraud happened, The election in many 38 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: ways was stolen, and the only way it'll be fixed 39 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: is by in the future reinforcing the laws. The fraud 40 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: happened welcome to the buck Sex and show everybody. I 41 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: wanted to do a deep dive with you today into 42 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: what we know so far and make sure that we 43 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: separate out the difference between getting justice in the process 44 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: and having the process continue to hold and go on 45 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: as it stands, it's not the same thing. A process 46 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: does not guarantee a good result. Our electoral process not 47 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 1: only does not guarantee a good result from the perspective 48 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: of candidates, but also from the perspective of whether or 49 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: not it was a free and fair election. That's what 50 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: we are seeing. There are not the safeguards that you 51 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: would think are in place, because so many of them 52 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: were removed by Democrats intentionally. They pushed aside so many 53 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: things that would be there specifically. And they do this 54 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: all the time. They don't like voter id they don't. 55 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: They always fight any effort to make it harder to 56 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: commit fraud. And so what Rand Paul is saying here, 57 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: and he said this during the hearing. I read it 58 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: the entire transcript of this Senate hearing yesterday, and what 59 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: Rand Paul is saying is absolutely true. There was fraud, 60 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: and no one can prove that there was not. The 61 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: fraud that is even specifically being alleged. The courts are 62 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: just saying, look, not our deal, not our situation. We're 63 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: not getting involved. They have decided to just leave this 64 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: to the process. They're not going to change it. And 65 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: that's what I've been telling I've seen this coming all along. 66 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: But that's a far cry from saying that there was 67 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: nothing that actually was fraudulent about this election, which I 68 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: know you're going to be told, and they're going to 69 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: tell you that a lot. And the people who spent 70 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: four years lying about Russia collusion as a means of 71 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: undermining our democracy, undermining the twenty sixteen election, now they're 72 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: going to pretend like they've been honest characters in this 73 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: whole drama, and they weren't. There were frauds. They were 74 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: abject frauds. But that's something that we have to continue 75 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: to push to get the answers about what are the 76 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: specifics of the fraud. I read through you know, Ron Johnson, 77 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: Senator Johnson had some pretty fiery moments during that hearing. 78 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: I looked at all the different questions and you had 79 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: Ken Starr there, you had you had Krebs, the fired 80 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: election security guy. His writ his mandate really was just 81 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: about foreign interference in the election. Then he's saying that 82 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: it was great in terms of preventing that, But he 83 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: has no answers about did people double vote in Nevada? 84 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: Did people who were legal aliens vote in Nevada? Did 85 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: people who voted too late in Pennsylvania? Should their votes 86 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: be discounted? There are all these very legitimate questions, But 87 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: I mean, let's just start with this. How many dead 88 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: people voted in the election. If someone tells you the 89 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: answer is zero, they're lying to you. How many people 90 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: double voted in the election. If someone says there were zero, 91 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: they're lying to you. How many legal aliens voted in 92 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: the election, and so on and so forth. It's not 93 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: that this stuff has been disproven. It's that we don't 94 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: have a platform. We don't have an avenue for getting 95 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: this to a place in the process where anything can 96 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: be done about it, because judges will not toss out 97 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: large quantities of ballots. Democrats flooded the zone. They made 98 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: it so that this election was a free for all. 99 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: They knew what they were doing when they did it, 100 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: and we're dealing with the result. That's all I've been 101 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: telling you. I'm as certain as you are that there 102 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: was fraud, and I think there was substantial enough for 103 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: aud that it did cost Trump a few of these states. 104 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: But we've been unable to prove it in the process, 105 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: and that's not going to change because the judges won't 106 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: take it up. They say there's no standing, they say 107 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: they know there's some procedural reason why they can't do this. 108 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: And so what I've been trying to tell you is 109 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: to prepare yourself for that reality. I'm not saying don't push, 110 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: don't bring the legal challenges. I've supported them every step 111 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: of the way. But I have seen what is going 112 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: on here. I understand how bureaucracies function and how they 113 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: can choose to not function when they want to, when 114 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: it's in their interest. And that's why don't ever let 115 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: them tell you, because they will there was no fraud. 116 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: That's gas lighting, that's a lie. And don't ever let 117 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: them tell you that mail in balloting is not somehow 118 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: an enormous open invitation for more fraud than or otherwise 119 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: being an election. I want to tell you a little story, 120 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: one that some of you may know. I'll take you 121 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: back to the northeastern United States, traveling from New York 122 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: to Baltimore. In eighteen sixty four, President of Abraham Lincoln 123 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: is running for reelection. It's toward the end of the vicious, bloody, 124 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: very high casualty Civil War, and as a fellow named 125 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: Orville Wood, who is tasked with making sure that this 126 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: newly instituted system in a number of states like New York, 127 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: of mail in ballots for soldiers from the front lines 128 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: would be executed properly. Now may not surprise you to 129 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: know that what all was said and done, over seventy 130 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: percent of soldiers were voted or voting for Abraham Lincoln 131 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: in his National Union Party, and that there was plenty 132 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: of reason to understand why, given all that they had sacrificed, 133 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: all they had fought for, that Lincoln was going to 134 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: be the recipient of those votes in ants of the 135 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: actual counting. So what did the opposition do here? Well, 136 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: you had this guy, Orville Wood, who was just a 137 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: merchant from northeastern New York State. He was a supporter 138 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: of Abraham Lincoln, and he was supposed to visit the 139 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,119 Speaker 1: troops from his hometown to see how things were going 140 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: with this mail in voting. And everyone knew that the 141 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: result of this eighteen sixty four election was going to 142 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: have a profound impact on the outcome, the final outcome 143 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: of the war. Lincoln wanted to continue until absolute victory. 144 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: But the anti war Democrats. Yes, that's right, the Democrat 145 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: I know. Is it amazing you look back in our history, 146 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: so much villainy falls at the feet of the Democrat Party. 147 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: But the anti war Democrats, they were called copperheads at 148 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: the time. They were looking for some kind of a 149 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: way to get a negotiated peace with the Confederacy. And 150 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: they also of course opposed the abolition movement in its entirety. 151 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: So this is another way of saying they're the bad 152 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: guys in this tale. So the troops from New York 153 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: were able to vote from the front lines mail in, 154 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: and sure enough, when this fellow mister Orville Wood gets 155 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: to Fort McHenry in Baltimore, he's visiting the ninety first 156 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: New York Regiment. There's an army captain who says something 157 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: about quote, checker playing with soldiers ballots. Checker playing with 158 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: soldiers ballots? What's going on? What is that all about? 159 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: And then Wood goes to visit wounded man at Newton 160 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: University Hospital, and then he hears more about this, and 161 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: he keeps hearing soldiers say that something funky's going on 162 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: with these mail in ballots. Sure enough, he went all 163 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: the way to the office of Moses Ferry in Baltimore. 164 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: Ferry was chosen by New York Governor Horatio Seymour to 165 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: oversee this process again for enlisted soldiers on the front 166 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: line fighting a terrible war, and their voice needed to 167 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: be heard for the republic right. Their voice was an 168 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: essential part of this electoral process. And Wood enters this 169 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: guy Ferri's office, and he pretends that he's a George 170 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: McClellan supporter, and sure enough, he is brought in on 171 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: the scheme. There's a guy sitting across the room signing 172 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: ballots from names that had been brought from Wood's hometown. 173 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: In fact, would ask them if he could deliver these 174 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: fraudulent ballots. That's right, they had a fake ballot operation 175 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: going on, just signing the names of soldiers on the 176 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: front lines who were not actually at all involved in 177 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: casting their ballots. And so he got involved in this process, 178 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: this mister Wood. And it was during this convert it 179 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: was during this process that he found out that there 180 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: are about twenty co conspiracers a co conspirators who are 181 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: working not just in Baltimore but also in DC, all 182 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: delivering votes for McClellan. And sure enough he found out 183 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: that they were passing names of acting enlistment, active enlisted men, 184 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: the wounded, dead soldiers, officers who never existed, just straight 185 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: up old school ballot fraud, all based in mail and ballots. 186 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: So they were just filling this out and going to 187 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: these going to these obvious lengths if you were around them, 188 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: because it was already rumored what was going on here 189 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: that they were trying to make sure that they delivered 190 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: a state, they delivered the election for Lincoln's opponent, and 191 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: so they also were people who opposed the abolition movement. 192 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: This was critical. If Lincoln had lost reelection, it would 193 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: have changed the trajectory of the country. You have these 194 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: men who are involved in this mail in balloting scheme 195 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: for Democrats, and they're sending back crates of fake ballots 196 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: to be counted in this election and would call the 197 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: authorities went to call on them. Obviously there were no 198 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: phones and shirt off On the morning of October twenty seventh, 199 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: eighteen sixty four, two weeks before the election, there was 200 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: a military commission held and the men confess to this 201 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: scheme and they were initially sentenced to life in prison. 202 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: This was taken very seriously to be involved in ballot 203 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: fraud in a time of war, life in prison, and Lincoln, 204 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: before he was shot, was a supporter of that sentence, 205 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: to give you an idea of how much he thought 206 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: this was a grave offense. So the people who tell 207 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: you that there's no election fraud are either historical ignoramacies 208 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: or their liars. This is just one of many instances 209 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: of election fraud that have happened in this country. But 210 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: this one specifically used mail in ballots. This one looked 211 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: at a process that really hasn't changed all that much. 212 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: And the moment that you allow people to do this, 213 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: and you separate the chain of custody, you disaggregate the 214 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: showing up in front of people with observers, people recognize 215 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: that it's a lot easier to cheat. And so what 216 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: did the Democrats do in eighteen sixty four to try 217 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: to end the abolition movement and defeat Abraham Lincoln towards 218 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: the end of the Civil War. They cheated with mail 219 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: in ballots. Yeah, but don't worry. The Democrats of today 220 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: are here to tell you that they would never do 221 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: such a thing and that there's no such thing as 222 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: cheating in an election. They are liars, they are frauds, 223 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: and we will not let this pass. You're in the 224 00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. 225 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: I think it would be healthy for the country, Lou 226 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: if we had a debate on January sixth about all this, 227 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: because the mainstream press certainly hasn't covered these hearings in 228 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: these states where there's been such concerns about how the 229 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: election was done. So let's let this, let's let it 230 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: play out, and let's have a real debate on January 231 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: six I think that when you have, Lou, when you 232 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: have over a third of the electorate think this election 233 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: was stolen, that is not a healthy situation for your country. 234 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: And yet the left says, oh, you gotta stop now. 235 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: You can't have a debate, you can't keep the president 236 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: campus to always legal options. We shouldn't even have a 237 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: debate on the floor on January sixth. That is just wrong. 238 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: It is wrong, and it also is about showing that 239 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: we haven't forgotten what happened for the last four years 240 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: is about reminding the Democrats that the fraud that they 241 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: perpetrated against the president with the Russia collusion hoax will 242 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: not go unpunished. It really is stunning. It's amazing. Now 243 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: they pretend like we don't remember anything, We didn't suffer 244 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: through all the nonsense, all the idiocy of the Russia hoax, 245 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: of Russia Gate. They talk about the need to protect 246 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: our sacred democracy. They called the president a traitor, they 247 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: had a special counsel looking at him and his family. 248 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: They lied about FBI investigations. They used the surveillance apparatus 249 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: of the intelligence community against a presidential campaign. This is 250 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,479 Speaker 1: the kind of thing that does happen in pseudo democratic 251 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: dictatorships all over the world. That's what happens. The security 252 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: apparatus is used to crush the opposition. And Trump wasn't 253 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: just the opposition to Hillary Clinton. He was the opposition 254 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: to the political elites and the establishment. So they circle 255 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: the wagons. They did everything they could to destroy him, 256 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: and they still weren't successful the first time around. So 257 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: when they do the second time around, come up with 258 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: a way to change all the rules of the game, 259 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: which they did, that is a fact in an election year, 260 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: in ways that they knew would benefit them. Why would 261 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: it benefit them? Why all of a sudden just always 262 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: assume that when there are fewer rules for an election, 263 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: it benefits Democrats because Republicans don't like convenience. Republican voters 264 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: can't use the mail. No, I think we all understand 265 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: that Democrats do fraud when it comes to elections. This 266 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: is their province, this is their expertise. And as long 267 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: as there's no voter id as long as there because 268 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: who shouldn't be voting? Convicted felons for example, who do 269 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: they vote for? If they can Democrats? Ten to one? 270 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: Legal aliens shouldn't be voting. Who do they vote for? Democrats? 271 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: So if you eliminate all the safeguards, if you get 272 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: rid of all the guard rails, what do you have? 273 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: A free for all that's going to, at the end 274 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: of the day benefit benefit the Democratic Party. And that's 275 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: what happened. So make no mistake about it. I'm not 276 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: telling you Joe Biden won the election fair and square. 277 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: I'm telling you that they managed to abuse and manipulate 278 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: the process in such a way we cannot use the 279 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: process to get a just result. It's not the same 280 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: thing as saying, yeah, well, you know, Joe did a 281 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: great job. Of course not, but it's a recognition of 282 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: where we are. If you don't have judges who're willing 283 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: to take this up, if you don't have the courage 284 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: at that level of this process, then it's never gonna 285 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: it's never gonna work. And we have seen nothing that 286 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: would lead any of us to believe that that's going 287 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: to change anytime soon. So that's why I'm trying to say, 288 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: we still need to fight for the answers here. I 289 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: read through that transcript, yes or There's so many questions, 290 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: did or did not? Three thousand or so people who 291 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: are illegal aliens? Did they vote in Nevada or did 292 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: they not? We should be able to get a definitive 293 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: answer on that. The courts won't take it up, though, 294 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: and the people looking into it don't have law enforcement authority, 295 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: they don't have subpoena power. Did or did not? Did 296 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: they or didn't they have people who were dead voting. 297 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: My friend Sean Parnell says that when he had in Pennsylvania, 298 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: they did a canvas of nursing homes. They found a 299 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: few thousand ballots. It all looked like they had the 300 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: same signature, the same handwriting. Is that is that a lie? 301 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: He wouldn't lie. So what's going on? Ah, that's right. 302 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: The process does not have fast enough answers and remedies 303 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: for this, and that is what we are continuing to 304 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: deal with.

How far integrated into the 307 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: Ukrainian economy did Hunter Biden get one of us? On 308 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: the border Borisma? Somebody wants to look at this time 309 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: on the border Barisma. Somebody needs to look at his 310 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: business dealings regarded to China to see if any crimps 311 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: were committed. But may yeah, I think, to just see 312 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: what kind of conflicts, if any, the Biden administration may have. 313 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: Absolutely falling on a special council to look at all 314 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: things Hunter Biden, to see if he presents a conflict 315 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: for the Biden administration regarding his business dealings in Ukraine, 316 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: which is overrun with Russian agents and any activity have 317 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: of the Chinese government. A special counsel to look into 318 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. I think it's a good idea. I also 319 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: wish that Attorney General Barr hadn't been unfairly maligned by 320 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: so many on the right and attacked by the President 321 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: when he should he should have been I'm just going 322 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: to tell you it was not was not a fair 323 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: assessment that was going on here. The President's very upset 324 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: about the election. I understand that. I share that that sentiment, 325 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: but it's not Bill Barr's fault. It's just not And 326 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: you would want a competent Attorney general in the role 327 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: right now who understands what the deep state and the 328 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: Democrats have tried to do in the past, to be 329 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: in a position to appoint a special Council. But I 330 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: don't think it's going to happen now. It should, though, 331 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: remember this, everything that was done to Republicans by the 332 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: Democrats as part of hashtag resist, we should revisit upon 333 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: them now. We could call it Operation Reciprocity, like the 334 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: Clear and Present Danger CIA operation from the movie Clear 335 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: and Present Danger, which, as you know, I like to 336 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: reference on this show because I've seen in a million 337 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: times Operation reciprocity. We do to them what they do 338 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: to us, isn't that necessary. Isn't that central to our system? 339 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: If we have equal justice under the law, doesn't that 340 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: equal justice have to mean that Democrats are subject to 341 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: the same kinds of investigations and the same aggressive checks 342 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: and balances that Republicans were during the four years of 343 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: Trump's Trump's term. I certainly think so. And in fact, 344 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 1: if you look at why a special council exists, the 345 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden case, in many ways even more so than 346 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: Russia collusional, though there are Obama administration figures that will 347 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: be in a Biden White House, But it's really for 348 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: exactly this kind of a circumstance where you have the 349 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: son of a president under federal investigation. That is why 350 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: you'd have a special counsel to insulate that legal effort 351 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: from the pressures that come directly from the commander in chief. 352 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: So there's a great This is a great example of 353 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: when you should have a special counsel, and I call 354 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: it for one right away. I'm glad to see that 355 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: there are others who are now saying, yeah, special counsel. Nice. 356 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: Some of us think faster than others on this stuff. 357 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: Do I think one will happen? Though? Now, why is 358 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: that there is still a kind of virtue signaling that 359 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: exists on the right. There are still a desire to 360 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: seem like at the most opportune moment. Some people who 361 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: are Republicans, who are in prominent positions, they want to 362 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 1: be the one to seem like they're above it all. 363 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: This is kind of the Romney approach or the Romney 364 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: also is just very bitter about Trump, and we know that, 365 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: you know, he's actually an egomaniac and that Trump offends him, 366 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: and so that's why he voted to have the President 367 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: of the United States removed from office the way that 368 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: he did. But there are Republicans out there who want 369 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: to say, no, no, we don't do that, we don't 370 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: play rough like that. And that's still very widespread. And 371 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: some of them are prominent senators, some of them are 372 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: political consultants that get to go on Fox News every 373 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:37,120 Speaker 1: five minutes. They still think that we aspire to make 374 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: the Democrats at the end of the day, to make 375 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: the Democrats like us in the way that we conduct 376 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: ourselves in these political battles. Democrats don't give don't give 377 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: a squat about what any of you or what I 378 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: think about their conduct during Trump that's been very clear. 379 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 1: They don't apologize, they don't ever say that they went 380 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: a little overboard. They only are upset about one thing, 381 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 1: and that is that they were not ultimately successful in 382 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: destroying the Trump presidency. And that is it. That is it. 383 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: But they are very happy that they feel they were 384 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: able to stack the deck for this election in a 385 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: way that benefited them, and that made the frauds so 386 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: easy and so made it so easy and so amorphous 387 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: at the same time. Right, it can happen in so 388 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: many different states, a few thousand here, a few thousand there. 389 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: How do you track all this stuff down? That it 390 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: was bound to be an enormous benefit for them, and 391 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: it was and it was. But should we have a 392 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: special counsel to look into Hunter Biden? Yes, we absolutely should. 393 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy was saying back for his make 394 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: Believe what c nohawk holdings, everything that Tony Bobolynski said 395 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: on Tucker Carlson's show in that long interview that I'm 396 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: sure many of you saw everything that was said was 397 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: true that Bobolynsky said. That guy clearly just spoke up 398 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: because he's like, this is appalling. The Bidens are corrupt 399 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: and we're seeing more and more that China is our 400 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: primary national security and economic concern, no question. I mean 401 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: it's by far by Miles and Miles and the Democrats 402 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: spent four years with this Russia hysteria that came at 403 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: a cost, not only a cost to the administration, to 404 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, but also the cost of making sure 405 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: that we didn't as a people, as a country, pay 406 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: nearly enough attention to the threat from the Chinese Communist Party, 407 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: and we are paying for that. That was a mistake, 408 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: that was an error, and that's why when Hunter Biden, 409 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, these individuals are going to be able to 410 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: now direct foreign policy of the United States. I mean 411 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: Hunter not officially, but you know he can always talk 412 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: to his dad. And that was the whole hook. That 413 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: was the point. Hunter was selling access to his power, 414 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: full and connected dead. That's why he's asking a Chinese oligarch, 415 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: according to emails that have been released, for ten million dollars. 416 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: I can tell you ten million dollars is a lot 417 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: of money. Ten million dollars is something that you know, 418 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: you usually got to do a considerable amount to get 419 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: that kind of cash. You know, this isn't fifty thousand 420 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: dollars under a table for some local city councilman or something. 421 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: This is this is real money, and we're supposed to 422 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: pretend that this didn't mean anything. Why would we believe 423 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: that the Democrats were so willing to corrupt the Justice Department, 424 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: to have FBI agents lie, to have senior DJ officials 425 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: cover up, to have James Comey go forward and bail 426 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: out Hillary Clinton by saying that no honest prosecutor would 427 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: bring charges against her for clear violations of federal statute. 428 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: Why would we think that? Now, oh, when a Biden president, 429 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: and see has the problem of a son who not 430 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: only was It's not just that Hunter Biden was doing 431 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: corrupt stuff, it's that he was leveraging his dad, his 432 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: relationship with his dad, and bringing his dad into it. 433 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: And his dad is looking like he's going to be 434 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: president friends, he is now officially the president elect. That 435 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: is a fact. I know, I don't like saying it 436 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: out loud, but it is a fact. And you have 437 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden knowing this whole time that he'll get a pass. 438 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: This is the great double standard. Democrats are so emotionalized 439 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: about their politics. They view it as so intrinsic to 440 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: their very being. They're so certain that they are good people, 441 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: that they're the better people out there, that if they 442 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: have to break rules, if they have to dispense with principles, 443 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: at the first moment of any any problem for them, 444 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 1: they it's all it's all for the greater good, you see, 445 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: it's for the collective good. And they're just simply fine 446 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: with that. They have no problem with that. I do, 447 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,479 Speaker 1: and I think that we need to understand it. It's 448 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: gonna get ugly now, and we have to make it 449 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: ugly because otherwise there's no way that they will ever 450 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: think twice about doing what they did to President Trump. 451 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: We have not achieved justice for what Democrats did the 452 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: first four years the last four years of Donald Trump's presidency, 453 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: not even close. And unless we understand what this game 454 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: is really all about now and how they're playing it, 455 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: and meet them on the battlefield the way they meet us, 456 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: we're just going to keep losing. We're going to keep losing. 457 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: I say, no, you're in the freedom hunt. This is 458 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Did China seek to influence 459 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:51,719 Speaker 1: this last election? It's a very important, very straightforward question. 460 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:58,479 Speaker 1: Did the CCP did our chief global rival and likely 461 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: future all out enemy, the Chinese Communist Party, did they 462 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: actually have a hand in what happened? Now? I remember 463 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: when Russia buying a pittance worth of Facebook ads was 464 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: considered an urgent national security crisis, and that that meant 465 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: that we couldn't really trust the results of the twenty 466 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: sixteen election because a couple of troll farmers in Russia 467 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: put some stuff up about hashtag lock her up on Facebook. 468 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: Remember that that was Russia interfered in the election. Russia interfered, 469 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: That's what they told us. Well, did China interfere in 470 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: this election? And what does that mean about what our 471 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: response should be if China did interfere as Joe Biden, 472 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: even the legitimate victor, even based on the process as 473 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: riddled with errors and fraud as we've already seen as 474 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: it was, right, do we add this on top of 475 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: all of that, We're gonna treat this guy like it's legitimate, 476 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: even though we have even more problems with the integrity 477 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: and authenticity of this election process. So the Intelligence communities 478 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: classified Assessment on Foreign Threats to the election this year 479 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: was supposed to be released tomorrow, and now they're saying 480 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: it is delayed. Why would it be delayed. Well, let's 481 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: get into this for a moment. Quote this afternoon. This 482 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: was from yesterday. The DNI was notified by career intelligence 483 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,719 Speaker 1: officials that the intelligence community will not meet the December 484 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: eighteenth guidelines set by Executive Order and Congress to submit 485 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: the ICs classified Assessment on Foreign Threats to the twenty 486 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: twenty election. According to Amanda Shock, Assistant DNI for Strategic Communications, 487 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: the IC has received relevant reporting since the election, and 488 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: a number of agencies have not finished coordinating on the product. 489 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: The DNI is committed to providing this report to our 490 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: customers expeditiously. Now I'm somebody who was involved in these 491 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: kind of assessments at the CIA. I used to write 492 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: assessments like this, part of them about things going on 493 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: in the Middle East. So I know this process very well. 494 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: And you know what the problem is here, I can 495 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: tell you. And I don't have any specific knowledge of 496 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: this process of the classified and what's being said behind 497 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: closed doors, but I know how the bureaucracy works, and 498 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: I know how the various parties involved your fight over there. 499 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: They call it their equities right there, their interests in 500 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: this and here's what's going on. There are people who 501 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: are very pro Biden, who are jubilant, and most of 502 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: the senior ranks of the especially we're talking about the 503 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: analytic condre, which I was a part of, which is, 504 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: you know, the nerd society in the intelligence community. Most 505 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: of the analytic cadre are Democrats. I'd say seventy seventy 506 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: to eighty percent are Democrats. That's just a guess. But again, 507 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time around these people I know, 508 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: and most of them are overjoyed that they think Joe 509 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: Biden has this thing in the bag. It's all over. 510 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: He's the next president of the United States, and they're 511 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: gonna do everything they can to try and protect this guy. 512 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: They're gonna do everything everything they can to make sure 513 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: that there's not even a dissenting opinion in this intelligence 514 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: community assessment that could be used because it will make 515 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: its way to the press. And there's also there are 516 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: there's the unclassified version of this, which is what everyone's 517 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: talking about now. It's supposed to be they're supposed to 518 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: be released, right, so there's a classified assessment of it, 519 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: and then usually they'll do it an unclassified executive summary 520 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: that'll make its way out, though that takes longer. That 521 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: takes more time. But why would they be so worried 522 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: about this? Shouldn't they just the usual standard for the IC. 523 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: The usual standard when I was in was that if 524 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: there were really strong dissenting opinions, you include them in 525 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: the reports, that you have a full spectrum analogy of 526 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: what's going on. And when this doesn't happen, the intelligence 527 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: community often has horrifically flawed analysis that's completely wrong. So 528 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: the issue here is most likely that they don't want 529 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: There are people who probably think that they're up for 530 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: maybe a big promotion or a much better deal for 531 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: themselves in a Biden administration, and they don't want to 532 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: be a part of anything. And also for ideological reasons, 533 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: they want to make sure that there's nothing that could 534 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: harm good old blue collar Joe. Because even if China 535 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: didn't influence the election in a way that was determinative, 536 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:45,239 Speaker 1: even if China didn't do enough, well, we remember from 537 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: Russia Collusion that no sane, intelligent human being thought that 538 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: some Russian Facebook ads changed the course of the twenty 539 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: sixteen election. But there was some Russian influence operation online 540 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: their fare or we can't ever know. Sorry, Trump's invalid. 541 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: That was their take. And some of the smarter people 542 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: who are Democrat deep staters inside the IC, they're seeing 543 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: this and they realize, WHOA, we got a problem here, 544 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: because if it comes out, if it makes its way 545 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: to Congress, and then there's an unclassified version of this 546 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: that gets released, they declassify portions of the executive summary 547 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: and release it. And it turns out that China tried 548 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: to help Joe Biden after his son was asking a 549 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: Chinese oligarch, which is basically a Chinese Communist Party businessman. 550 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: You can't be a wealthy Chinese businessman without the Chinese 551 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: Communist Party calling the shots for you, asking for millions 552 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: and millions of dollars that guy. Yeah, not a surprise 553 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: that they that Joe Biden would be the choice of 554 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: the CCP, is it? But they don't want people to know. 555 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: They don't want people to be able to draw upon 556 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: this and to hold the Democrats to hold Joe Biden 557 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 1: to the same standard that Donald Trump was held to. 558 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: In fact, this would be even a very different standard 559 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: because at least this is real. At least this is 560 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,240 Speaker 1: a country that has the kind of influence to project 561 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: itself onto our politics and change an election. China targeted 562 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: sanctions against states with the whole trade war and agricultural 563 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: issues meant to hurt Republicans. China actively works to the 564 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 1: benefit of the DNC. We know this. They would much 565 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: rather have complacent DNC elite establishment figures who all want 566 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: to be on the board of Facebook or they all 567 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 1: want to be getting some consulting agreement from Google. Those 568 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,839 Speaker 1: are the people that they want in government doing their 569 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: bidding right, because they are going to be able to say, hey, 570 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 1: do you want access to our Chinese market? Do you 571 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: want to get rich or you want to be principled. 572 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: That's what the Chinese Communist Party presents to Democrats and 573 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: to some Republicans, and they fall for it too. Do 574 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: you want to get rich or do you want to 575 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: be principled? In stand up for America, Donald Trump said, 576 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: you know what, go blank yourself China. We're gonna do 577 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: this the right way. You think that a Biden administration 578 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: is going to do that. You think you think that's 579 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: gonna happen. Of course not. This is an enormous win. 580 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. I mean I think I 581 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: think China's financial prospects for the next few years look 582 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: very strong because Biden's a whimp and he's gonna get 583 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: rolled by them, and it's in his interest to do so. 584 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember 585 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever 586 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. Let's talk about the threat from 587 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 1: China with someone who knows it well. He's a Mandarin speaker, 588 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: he's a former naval intelligence officer. He is a host 589 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: at One America News and I'm buddy of mine, Jack 590 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: possobic Aka posts so in the mix here Jack, great 591 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: to have you Seesia, how Bogyo and my thoughts, my 592 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 1: thoughts exactly to be here today. Yeah, So tell me this. 593 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 1: What do you think is the slowdown for this? I mean, 594 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: this would be a big thing. This would be a 595 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,479 Speaker 1: bombshell if we have an intelligence community assessment that says 596 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: that China worked in this election to influence on behalf 597 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden. We got Joe Biden's son and emails 598 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: asking a Chinese Communist Party connected businessman for you know, 599 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: a wire of ten million dollars and I'm pretty sure 600 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: the rules that have been established, Jacker, if there is 601 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,439 Speaker 1: foreign interference, we need get a special counsel, and maybe 602 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: the election is just not legitimate. That's what happened for 603 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,879 Speaker 1: four years. Yeah, it's really amazing what's going on. So 604 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: to give people the backstory on this, the d and 605 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: I report is due to be on the President's desk 606 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: by tomorrow, by Friday the eighteenth. This is set by 607 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: executive order. You know, this isn't one of those reports. Oh, 608 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: we'll get it done when we get it done. No, 609 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: no, no no, no. This is set by executive order for 610 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 1: the Intel agencies writ large, which comes under that sort 611 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,800 Speaker 1: of capstone of the DNI as an intelligence community assessment, 612 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: to be on his desk forty five days after the election. 613 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, this was something that when the 614 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: President signed it, this had bipartisan support. Obviously, we want 615 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: to know if any foreign government is interfering in our elections. 616 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: This was certainly shoved down the throats of every conservative, 617 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 1: every Trump supporter for four years straight regarding Russia. But 618 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: now suddenly we've got this guy Chris Krebs who's going 619 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: out and testifying and saying, oh no, there was no 620 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: there was no interference whatsoever, most secure freest and ferris 621 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 1: we've ever had. Right. Well, now it turns out and 622 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: I was getting this information reporting it out yesterday afternoon, 623 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 1: pretty early before the DNI made their announcement that there's 624 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: a huge dust up going on. It's really kind of 625 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: turned into a massive battle at the highest levels of 626 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: our see literally the highest levels the DNI over whether 627 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:57,919 Speaker 1: or not to include assessments regarding Chinese interference. And what's 628 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: really interesting, and I know, you know how to read 629 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: between the tea leaves on official statements from the IC 630 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: as well that they actually mentioned in the DNI's report. Now, 631 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 1: what I had said in my reporting for One American 632 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: News was that there was continuing intelligence, continuing raw intelligence 633 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: coming in regarding Chinese operations. What the DNI said was 634 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: there was new relevant information that was received after the election. Now, 635 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,760 Speaker 1: reading the tea leaves a little bit. The intel community 636 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,720 Speaker 1: doesn't usually find out about stuff like that that big 637 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: by the you know, long after the fact, forty five 638 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: days after the fact. What most likely is going on 639 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: here is that one of the sixteen agencies you probably 640 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: know which one that was had the information and didn't 641 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: share it with the others, and now they're upset about it, 642 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: and so you're getting into this sort of I'm not 643 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: sure what if I can say that on air, sort 644 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,360 Speaker 1: of a match of sorts regarding who, you know, who 645 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: gets to actually cover this situation, who gets to work 646 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: that problems, to work these targets. And now D and 647 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,840 Speaker 1: I Radcliffe is saying, look, you guys have an issue. 648 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,399 Speaker 1: Analytic trade craft which we all we all learn, right, 649 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 1: Analytic tradecraft would say that when there's disputing assessments, you 650 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 1: include them both, Yeah, and you include the reasons for 651 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: why and you and you set that out. That's basic 652 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 1: one oh one level stuff. But for some reason, one 653 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: agency is saying, no, you shouldn't include any assessment even 654 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: though there is raw intelligence. Yeah, and Jack, as as you, 655 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure recall it's hard for outsiders to understand you 656 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 1: from the You come at this from the naval intelligence side. 657 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: I come in from the CIA perspective. How intense and 658 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: how how much these bureaucratic turf battles can get deeply personal. 659 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: I've seen adults in conference rooms with you know, draped 660 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: with American flags and all kinds of regalia of the 661 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 1: of the federal government where people were cursing and screaming 662 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: in each other's faces over over things like this, over 663 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: what's included in an analytic assessments, over those on the 664 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: in the outside world. This becomes incredibly heated and contentious. 665 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: So that's one part of it, and that's it's it's 666 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: what you alluded to before. It's who gets control of 667 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: this issue going forward and the resources and the White 668 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: House attention that would come with that. But I also 669 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: have to think, and we're speaking to Jack Pisovic, former 670 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: former naval intelligence officer and one American news host, I 671 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: also think that when we look at this, there's probably 672 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 1: some elements and it might even be the majority of 673 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: this where there are some people who are very pro Biden, 674 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,919 Speaker 1: who are senior up in the ranks at I don't 675 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: know which agency I could I could take a couple 676 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: of guesses who think, Okay, we got an incoming Biden administration, 677 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 1: we got to protect as much as we can this 678 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: team of adults that's coming in from the back. The 679 00:40:54,640 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: backlash and the blowback of any China that becomes a 680 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:05,240 Speaker 1: big problem for the Democrats. Any China issue of influence 681 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: the election makes Joe Biden an even bigger target for 682 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: the stuff that we're already seeing with Hunter Biden everything else. 683 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 1: So I think they may be covering for him. That's 684 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: exactly right. And we saw this as well when intelligence 685 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: became politicized during an election in twenty twelve, when the 686 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: Benghazi situation happened, and you sought the intel agencies for 687 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: at least for a time right when it mattered, they 688 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 1: were doing everything they could to defend Barack Obama to 689 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,799 Speaker 1: make sure that their assessments were in line with, oh, 690 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,319 Speaker 1: this cover story about a YouTube video rather than a 691 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: terrorist attack, until after the election when the truth just 692 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: exploded all over the place and everybody knew what happened. 693 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 1: And we've found out, of course that they all knew 694 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: at the time what happened because it was obvious. Right, 695 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 1: that's a similar situation to what you're seeing now. Is 696 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 1: because they're also looking at making sure that they're in 697 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: good standing it with what they perceived to be the 698 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,800 Speaker 1: incoming administration. They want to make sure that they maintain 699 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 1: that relationship. And they're all also people there who are 700 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 1: looking at it from a perspective of keep in mind, 701 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 1: and a lot of people have to know this that 702 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,360 Speaker 1: there's different stripes of and different you know, sort of 703 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,760 Speaker 1: factions within the IC. But you do have your cold 704 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 1: warrior types who for them, Russia will always be the 705 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: great bear. They are always America's eternal enemy, and everything 706 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: you know that the IC does has to be geared 707 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: towards Russia. But then you also have a younger type, 708 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 1: and I think these is like the Pete buddhaj Edge 709 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,360 Speaker 1: types of of IC officers, who he himself was a 710 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:37,360 Speaker 1: reserve intelligence officer, that they get their mindset from CNN, 711 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,959 Speaker 1: Washington Post, New York Times and then they go into 712 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 1: the IC and so that that mindset, that framing of 713 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: everything that's going on in the world starts with some 714 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: pretty some pretty far left right. It used to be 715 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 1: kind of centrist, but now they're a little bit more 716 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: far left in terms of their perspective, in terms of 717 00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 1: their coverage, so they already have an outsize view of 718 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: Russia being a threat versus China, who we know, of 719 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: course has way more money, has way more resources. They 720 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 1: have the wou MoU fifty cent army of Chinese bots 721 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 1: that was influencing US social media networks in the run 722 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 1: up to COVID nineteen and after the COVID nineteen pandemic 723 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,399 Speaker 1: hit our shores, right, we know that China was using 724 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 1: these operations. So it strikes me as ridiculous that the 725 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 1: Intel community wouldn't have found any information about Chinese influence 726 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 1: operations because we already know that they're here speaking of 727 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 1: Jack Posomic, host of One America News, former naval intelligence officer, 728 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 1: at Jack, what do you think the Chinese Communist Party 729 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: is going to try to do in a Biden administration? 730 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,319 Speaker 1: Meaning what are their goals for the next four years. 731 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 1: We could talk about their goals the next fifty years 732 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 1: if we really want to be terrified, but let's talk 733 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 1: about the next four years. Well, so they're going back 734 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 1: to the same mode that America was in in terms 735 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 1: of our relationship piece to be China under In the 736 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 1: waiting days of the Obama administration, there was this phrase 737 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 1: they used and it always shocked me, and I think 738 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 1: it shocked a lot of people out in the world 739 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 1: when they heard it, but not so much in here 740 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. They talked about the managed decline 741 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,799 Speaker 1: of America. America is a declining power. America is on 742 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,839 Speaker 1: the road to give America a soft landing these are 743 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 1: the types of phrases you would hear. And so the 744 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 1: question that I always asked was when President Obama, or 745 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: at times he would hear Joe Biden talk about this 746 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 1: when he himself went to China, remember he was Obama's 747 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 1: personal envoy to China, going around with Ji Jinping, going 748 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: to Situan University, bringing a son on air force to 749 00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 1: These things all happened regardless of whether Twitter will let 750 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 1: you talk him about them or not. And so they 751 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,760 Speaker 1: want America to be in that declining status, moving towards 752 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,760 Speaker 1: where at place, quite frankly, where the UK was after 753 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: World War Two, when America was then on the rise. 754 00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 1: They want China to be in the driver's seat as 755 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: the rise to a global maybe not a hegemony, but 756 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: a global superpower in terms of where the United States 757 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 1: used to be. Right, I always try to explain this people. 758 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 1: It's not necessarily that China hates the United States. They 759 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: don't have disdain for us. They actually, in many cases 760 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for America's past achievements. That 761 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 1: being said, they want to be where we are. A 762 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 1: Chinese guy tell me once, I want to be in 763 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:30,440 Speaker 1: a position where I see Chinese families adopting American babies 764 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 1: and not the other way around, and that, you know, 765 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: and he didn't mean it in a negative way, didn't 766 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 1: mean it as an insult. He just meant that's where 767 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,360 Speaker 1: he wanted. They want to be that, they want to 768 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 1: be the global hegemon. There's no question about that. They're 769 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 1: working toward that all the time. Jack. I also want 770 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,960 Speaker 1: to ask you about that the Hunter Biden situations, specifically 771 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 1: because you and I were corresponding early on about this 772 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 1: to make sure that you know, we were all lined 773 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 1: up with what was really happening, and you know, you 774 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 1: verified important things for me to make sure that we 775 00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 1: knew that that story was quite real when it was 776 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 1: when it was breaking right before the election. Do you 777 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,440 Speaker 1: think it's fair to say that Hunter Biden is compromised 778 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 1: by the Chinese Communist Party? I don't you know. When 779 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 1: you're in the IC, you're taught to look for flags, 780 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,319 Speaker 1: compromise flags. You're taught to look for these these indicators, right, 781 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 1: and you're supposed to stack them. We're all given this 782 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,959 Speaker 1: training about, uh, this person has four indicators, this person 783 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 1: has five indicators. I've actually worked on which obviously can't 784 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,359 Speaker 1: get into but I've actually worked on some of those situations. 785 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 1: I have some experience with some of those situations from 786 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 1: from an operational perspective on how the CCP works. Um. 787 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 1: You know, so when I saw that Eric Swalwell situation, 788 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 1: it said, well, yeah, this is textbook. It didn't even 789 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 1: shock me at all in the least times. I would 790 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 1: be surprised if they weren't doing that, right, I would be. 791 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 1: I was the only surprised that leaked publicly the way 792 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: it did. Hunter Biden is quite possibly the most compromised 793 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 1: person that we've ever had being this close to the 794 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: White House. And I'm not saying that based on you know, 795 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:07,000 Speaker 1: my opinion, right, I'm saying that based on the emails, 796 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 1: the reports. The money is ties to these private equity 797 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 1: firms that he still has stakes in. Right. They say, 798 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,399 Speaker 1: well he's off the board, and so okay, he took 799 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,360 Speaker 1: his title off, That doesn't mean he doesn't still have 800 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: a stake in the firm, right. That's what matters. The money. 801 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 1: And just from a perspective, you know, we know that 802 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 1: China uses what they call yellow operations, So yellow involves 803 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:35,560 Speaker 1: anything that's intimate. Hunter Biden's a guy where and I remember, 804 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 1: I've had access to this hard drive. He filmed all 805 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 1: sorts of things and just strange videos, even when it 806 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:45,320 Speaker 1: was just himself, very strange videos that this guy was filming. 807 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:50,840 Speaker 1: And to think that the Chinese don't have other videos 808 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,839 Speaker 1: of him as well as these videos that we've seen, is, 809 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, be ridiculous to think that they don't have 810 00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So, yeah, you do have a 811 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,840 Speaker 1: situation here where very clearly this is someone who's compromised 812 00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:08,399 Speaker 1: financially and compromised personally. And so with Joe Biden, it's 813 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 1: really strange that he's taken this absolutist perspective. Right he 814 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 1: told us at the debate. Memory go back to what 815 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:17,840 Speaker 1: he said to the American people, my son has not 816 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,799 Speaker 1: taken a cent from China. These there were no transactions. 817 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,360 Speaker 1: It was a smear. And now it's well, these transactions 818 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 1: were looked to and nobody said there was anything any 819 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 1: problem with it. And then the latest is that Hunter 820 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 1: Biden's come out and said my father had no information 821 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,440 Speaker 1: about the right. It's just it's just a cascade of 822 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,799 Speaker 1: changing lies like the Hilary email situation, by the way, right, right, 823 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 1: it's crazy, exactly right, And so you need to be 824 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: upfront with the American people. It's as simple as that. 825 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 1: Be upfront with the American people. And if there's something 826 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,920 Speaker 1: to happen that was wrong, be a man, be an adult. 827 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,799 Speaker 1: And I say this to Joe Biden, this is your son, 828 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 1: all right, this is your son. It's time to step 829 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,799 Speaker 1: up and be the role model that Quite frankly, it 830 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: looks like he never had. Jack Besobic one American news network. Jack, 831 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,839 Speaker 1: great to have you, my friend. Take care, Thanks so much. 832 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex 833 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:15,720 Speaker 1: and Show podcast. It's gonna be tight in Georgia, everybody. 834 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,839 Speaker 1: You need to keep hearing it. I know we've got 835 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 1: stations down in Georgia. So there are people who are 836 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 1: registered in the state of Georgia who are listening to 837 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,439 Speaker 1: this show right now. And this is going to be 838 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,400 Speaker 1: a very close election for both of those Senate runoff 839 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 1: seats right now. The Democrats are playing a pretty clear game, 840 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,320 Speaker 1: or maybe in a sense, we know what their game is, 841 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,840 Speaker 1: but they're making it muddled, right. They're trying to avoid 842 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 1: us understanding what's really happening here. And here's the situation. 843 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 1: The Democrats are hoping that We're going to become a 844 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 1: little bit complacent, overconfident that people who are understandably furious 845 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: about the presidential election in Georgia aren't going to turn out. 846 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:05,840 Speaker 1: That would be disastrous. Not only is there the Senate balance, 847 00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,839 Speaker 1: which is the biggest single issue in play here, but 848 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:13,919 Speaker 1: these candidates have been Warnock and ass Off these would 849 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 1: be really problematic left wing legislators. These are not moderates. 850 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,759 Speaker 1: You know. This isn't like a Susan Collins kind of 851 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 1: a situation on the Democrat side. These are leftists who 852 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,640 Speaker 1: are running. So it's not even just a function of 853 00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,720 Speaker 1: the balance of power, which of course is the primary issue. 854 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,359 Speaker 1: But you got guys like John Assof. I mean, this 855 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,200 Speaker 1: guy is a he's a trust fund baby, the classic 856 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,399 Speaker 1: limousine lib who wants to push the more radical left 857 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,359 Speaker 1: policies of the Democrats onto the nation if he gets 858 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,439 Speaker 1: into the United States Senate play clip twelve. I think 859 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,240 Speaker 1: that the GOP attacks at this point are in garden 860 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:56,479 Speaker 1: variety fearmongering, race baiting. Look, they've been lengthening my nose 861 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 1: in their ads to remind everybody, but I'm a Jew. 862 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 1: They've been running racist tax against Reverend Warnock, and what's 863 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 1: emerging in Georgia is the New South. You've got the 864 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 1: young Jewish son of an immigrant, mentored by John Lewis, 865 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 1: running alongside a black preacher who holds Doctor King's pulpit 866 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 1: at Evanezer Church. And we're traveling the state right now. 867 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,840 Speaker 1: You see this bus behind me talking about health, jobs 868 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 1: and justice. So the GOP can run their playbook, which 869 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,959 Speaker 1: is fear and division. We're talking about what we're gonna 870 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,239 Speaker 1: do for working people at a moment of crisis here 871 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:30,000 Speaker 1: in Georgia. Yeah, calling them racist and anti submitted. This 872 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 1: is what you're going to get from us Off and 873 00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,440 Speaker 1: of course you're gonna hear similar stuff from from Warnock too. 874 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,919 Speaker 1: Never mind the fact that Warnock is being entirely protected 875 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,760 Speaker 1: by the media establishment. I mean, they will do anything 876 00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,839 Speaker 1: to make sure that we don't know that that not 877 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,120 Speaker 1: enough Georgians know that this is a guy who said 878 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: you can't serve the militarian serve God. At the same 879 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 1: time that this is an individual who is not in 880 00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: the political mainstream us Off and Warnock, but they are 881 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 1: that the Democrats right now are full of a kind 882 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 1: of a kind of hubrist They feel like they've got 883 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 1: the momentum, and they understand that we face a very 884 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:14,360 Speaker 1: very different country for the next four years. If the 885 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 1: Democrats have a majority in the Senate, that that is 886 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,160 Speaker 1: going to be problematic, that is going to be a 887 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 1: serious challenge for us going forward. So for all of 888 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,880 Speaker 1: Team Buck George out there, and I know we've got 889 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:27,680 Speaker 1: a lot of listeners. We've got people all around the 890 00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,319 Speaker 1: Savannah area, I know who listened to the show, and 891 00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,919 Speaker 1: we've got people in the suburbs of Atlanta, and we've 892 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:39,839 Speaker 1: got various stations out there in Georgia. You please your vote. 893 00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,280 Speaker 1: I mean this election, this could be a Senate election 894 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:47,800 Speaker 1: that comes down to hundreds of votes. It's one percent 895 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,759 Speaker 1: in the polls that I'm seeing right now, and it's 896 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,680 Speaker 1: probably going to be even tighter than that. Norm Coleman 897 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 1: got his seats stolen from him by Al Frankin by 898 00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:02,239 Speaker 1: a margin of literally hundreds of votes. We have thousands 899 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 1: of people that listen to this show in Georgia alone, 900 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,880 Speaker 1: and perhaps tens of thousands, and I would really like 901 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 1: it if all of you listening in the state of 902 00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,960 Speaker 1: Georgia right now would please go vote and tell your 903 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:20,280 Speaker 1: conservative Republican friends, family, you know, Bob the mail guy, 904 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,840 Speaker 1: Susie the coffee shop owner, you know whoever. Say you 905 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,280 Speaker 1: gotta get out there and vote. You've got to spread 906 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,840 Speaker 1: the word. If we go into the middle of January, 907 00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,560 Speaker 1: if we go into a Biden inauguration with the Democrats 908 00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,600 Speaker 1: picking off these two Senate seats, we are in for 909 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,360 Speaker 1: a rough ride, friends, and it's not too late. We 910 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 1: can stop it. So let's do that. Thanks for listening 911 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 1: to the buses and show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on 912 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:50,319 Speaker 1: Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. 913 00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 1: It's Harsani time, everybody. Our friend David Harsani from National 914 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 1: Review in the mix now with all the biggest, most 915 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,920 Speaker 1: important stories of a week, at least the ones that 916 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,920 Speaker 1: he most wants to talk to us about. David, great 917 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: to have you back. Always a pleasure of thank you. 918 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:09,800 Speaker 1: So I had to laugh. This week we had Steve Schmidt, 919 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 1: who I am. I am not shy about criticizing for 920 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 1: his absurd commentary on the show on a regular basis. 921 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 1: I do think maybe offers up I don't know if 922 00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,799 Speaker 1: he is the dumbest political commentator, but offers up some 923 00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:26,600 Speaker 1: of the dumbest political commentary you could find anywhere, and 924 00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,520 Speaker 1: has been doing this for the amusement of Democrats for years. 925 00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:35,120 Speaker 1: A former Republican GOP strategist or whatever. Now it comes 926 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 1: out that he and other people from the Lincoln Project 927 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 1: are Democrats. I mean, they're formerly joining the Democrat Party. 928 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,359 Speaker 1: I remember what I was saying, that these people are 929 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 1: called Democrats two years ago or three years ago, you know, whatever, 930 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 1: me even before they had the Lincoln Project and they 931 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,399 Speaker 1: were saying, oh, no, they're the real Conservatives. Turns out 932 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:58,279 Speaker 1: not so much. David now and Steve Schmidt is especially 933 00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,759 Speaker 1: no shit. But you know, the things he says are 934 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:07,120 Speaker 1: especially dishonest and miss you know, misleading and nasty. But 935 00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:11,560 Speaker 1: he's not very bright guy, and he's always I mean, 936 00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:15,880 Speaker 1: once you start going after senators like Collins in Maine 937 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,640 Speaker 1: or other moderate Republicans, you're no longer anti Trump. You're 938 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,719 Speaker 1: just a Democrat, which was always my problem with the 939 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,399 Speaker 1: Lincoln Project. You want to you want to go out 940 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,319 Speaker 1: there and campaign for Democrats, that's fine, But if you 941 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,920 Speaker 1: want to be on CNN and other stations pretending you're 942 00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,640 Speaker 1: a Republican who is just so hurt by the mean 943 00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:37,799 Speaker 1: things that Donald Trump says, you're misleading the public, right, 944 00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:39,719 Speaker 1: and it's a scam and a con and that's of 945 00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,400 Speaker 1: course what those guys are running over there. So I 946 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,640 Speaker 1: don't really understand why he couldn't. It's weird that he 947 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:47,440 Speaker 1: had to tell everyone he's going to be a Democrat 948 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,359 Speaker 1: when he could have just continued that con. I guess 949 00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 1: that because they had such a little effect on the election, 950 00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:56,000 Speaker 1: they're going to try something new. I don't know, but 951 00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,480 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean it's such a joke. It seems 952 00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 1: to me like there's gonna be a whole lot of 953 00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:06,240 Speaker 1: former conservative or whatever they call themselves, you know, GOP 954 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:10,960 Speaker 1: strategists at CNN and MSNBC who only had they've only 955 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:15,680 Speaker 1: got two options become Democrats or no longer be on 956 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,399 Speaker 1: TV and pushing this nonsense. Because I mean, if you're 957 00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,719 Speaker 1: looking for overrepresentation of a set of political beliefs, the 958 00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:27,920 Speaker 1: people who claim to be so much the real Republicans 959 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,239 Speaker 1: during the Trump presidency, who are on TV all the time, 960 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:36,600 Speaker 1: you had Nicole Wallace from the Bush administration, Steve Schmidt. 961 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't even think of all the off 962 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:40,440 Speaker 1: the top of my head right now. But yet all 963 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 1: these former so called former Republicans who I mean, oh, 964 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,800 Speaker 1: what's his name of Rick Wilson? These people were so GOP. 965 00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,680 Speaker 1: So what happens now? I mean, I get the con 966 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 1: can't continue kenn It No, It's like there's always going 967 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,799 Speaker 1: to be an industry of former Republicans who just can't 968 00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,160 Speaker 1: take it. This is not something new. It's gone back. 969 00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,399 Speaker 1: You know, it was happening during the Bush years as well, 970 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,920 Speaker 1: people who just simply could not you know, where has 971 00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,960 Speaker 1: the Republican Party gone. It's terrible. Four years from now 972 00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:08,919 Speaker 1: people are going to be saying, you know, at least 973 00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 1: Trump did X and Y. You know, this is even worse. 974 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 1: It's always the way. These guys were especially terrible because 975 00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,439 Speaker 1: they didn't only attack Trump and I'm fine with going 976 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:26,880 Speaker 1: after politicians. They mocked conservatives, They mocked conservative beliefs, and 977 00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:30,000 Speaker 1: but they do it under under the title of a 978 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: former Republican, you know, the real conservatives. And that's what 979 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 1: just annoys me so much because it's no longer an 980 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 1: ideological argument. It's just about personalities. And these people are 981 00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,080 Speaker 1: just on TV so that they can make liberals feel 982 00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,160 Speaker 1: good about themselves as they sort of mean conservatives, and 983 00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,560 Speaker 1: it's it's Also the problem with that is that you 984 00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 1: have networks that are putting these folks up for that 985 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,760 Speaker 1: very reason. They don't want to have real debates. They 986 00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,560 Speaker 1: want to have How many conservatives are really on CNN? 987 00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 1: Let's say, I mean, I don't really want none. Now 988 00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,280 Speaker 1: the answer is none. It doesn't exist anymore. But go ahead. 989 00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 1: I know that I don't want to insult you know. 990 00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 1: I know that we both no se cup right, I 991 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,880 Speaker 1: think we both worked with her at the same time. 992 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:14,640 Speaker 1: But she's you know, she's out there ripping the Second Amendment, 993 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,040 Speaker 1: you know, saying you know, she's just basically just a 994 00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:21,080 Speaker 1: liberal who still calls herself, I guess a conservative, and 995 00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,800 Speaker 1: that's just misleading. I just think we deserve, or reviewers 996 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:25,840 Speaker 1: deserve a better debate, or maybe we don't deserve it. 997 00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:27,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, but that, you know, it's still design. 998 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 1: I feel like there's no debate allowed at these places anymore. 999 00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,200 Speaker 1: In fact, I think there are very few places in 1000 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,480 Speaker 1: the media in general where there's any effort to allow 1001 00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,760 Speaker 1: a real airing of ideas, and I think it's because 1002 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:39,920 Speaker 1: a lot of it is driven by audiences. I mean, 1003 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 1: I will say that it's true, it's very true on 1004 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,640 Speaker 1: the left. It's even a little bit true on the right. 1005 00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,840 Speaker 1: You know, you'll have if there's an exchange of ideas 1006 00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:54,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't result in someone saying, you know, in someone 1007 00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 1: effectively clearly trouncing and sort of belittling the other person. 1008 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 1: You know a lot of people who are just disinterested 1009 00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,600 Speaker 1: in that now. I mean, they don't even really want 1010 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,840 Speaker 1: to hear the exchange. Not everybody, but that that's very common. 1011 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,439 Speaker 1: And I think that's what the media ecosystems that exist 1012 00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,320 Speaker 1: right now have done. And it's a shame, and it's 1013 00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,600 Speaker 1: it's it's much more pervasive on the left and it 1014 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:14,920 Speaker 1: is on the right, but I do see it in 1015 00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:20,040 Speaker 1: both places, and and I feel like we understand the 1016 00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,200 Speaker 1: real crux of a lot of these arguments, as as 1017 00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:26,440 Speaker 1: the American people less than we otherwise would because everyone's 1018 00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,280 Speaker 1: just kind of protecting their brand now. No one, no 1019 00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,040 Speaker 1: one actually wants to get into it. I think that's right. 1020 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,919 Speaker 1: And you see people threatening to cancel their New York 1021 00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:37,080 Speaker 1: Times headlines when you know someone writes i'm sorry. There 1022 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,800 Speaker 1: are subscriptions when someone writes a headline they don't like 1023 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,720 Speaker 1: or covers a story they don't like, and obviously. You know, 1024 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,120 Speaker 1: I get a lot of mail about you know, National 1025 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,480 Speaker 1: Review as this writer or that writer, like it's hard 1026 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,720 Speaker 1: for people to understand that you can have more than 1027 00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 1: one opinion, or when people attack a publication, they say, 1028 00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:55,640 Speaker 1: you know, the National Review says this, or the National 1029 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,240 Speaker 1: Review says that when it's a columnist. It happened at 1030 00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,680 Speaker 1: the Federalists as well. You know, hard for people to 1031 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:02,200 Speaker 1: understand that that you're going to have a lot of 1032 01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 1: different opinions and debate, which I think is healthy. So yeah, 1033 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,920 Speaker 1: I think you're right. It's a lot of I just 1034 01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000 Speaker 1: think a lot of audiences just no longer want to 1035 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,040 Speaker 1: hear it anymore. And I hate to say, and I 1036 01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,880 Speaker 1: this will sound biased, but conservatives probably are that way 1037 01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,080 Speaker 1: because they're so sick of these big institutions being so 1038 01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,000 Speaker 1: biased that they don't want to. In their view, they're like, 1039 01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,560 Speaker 1: we don't need this debate here when we constantly hear 1040 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 1: it elsewhere. So I get that part of it, but 1041 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,080 Speaker 1: I agree, and I also think conservatives are so sick 1042 01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,680 Speaker 1: of the fake version of these debates that I mean, 1043 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 1: it's it's it's kind of like the West Wing effect, 1044 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 1: you know from the TV show by Aaron's working the 1045 01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,240 Speaker 1: West wing. It's like, oh, like the Democrats if I 1046 01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,120 Speaker 1: have all these snappy comebacks and are just so wonderful 1047 01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:46,000 Speaker 1: and like good looking and smart, and the Republicans always 1048 01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:50,600 Speaker 1: like I just I just love Jesus and I hate women, 1049 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,840 Speaker 1: And you know, it's like that's that's what's what you 1050 01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,280 Speaker 1: get on the West wing, as though those are all Republicans, right, 1051 01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,760 Speaker 1: They're just they're a bunch of Bible thumping, anti women, 1052 01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,840 Speaker 1: kind of maybe racist, and all the arguments kind of 1053 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 1: boiled down to that. You're like, oh, okay, I guess 1054 01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:09,320 Speaker 1: that's the way it really is. Sometimes they see the 1055 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,800 Speaker 1: light right it comes over to the right side and 1056 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,040 Speaker 1: they see it. Yeah, and then they have some really 1057 01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:17,160 Speaker 1: some really sort of sacharin violin music in the background 1058 01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,560 Speaker 1: as the conservative you know, they play the clarinets in 1059 01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,960 Speaker 1: the background as a conservative goes, wow, you're right. I 1060 01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:26,160 Speaker 1: never really thought of it that way. You know, find 1061 01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,040 Speaker 1: they find their heart and their humanity and vote with 1062 01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:31,840 Speaker 1: It's a funny thing. It's just a little off topics. 1063 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,800 Speaker 1: When people tell you to stop being partisan, they just 1064 01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,840 Speaker 1: mean stopping republican. It's never, you know, the other way 1065 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:40,440 Speaker 1: that they mean it stop being a partisan and just 1066 01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:44,240 Speaker 1: embrace gun right gun restrictions or stopping a partisan and 1067 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,280 Speaker 1: do this and that. Yeah, I mean it's again it's 1068 01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,160 Speaker 1: we hit this quite often, but it's just it's sort 1069 01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,080 Speaker 1: of an institutional problem now and I'm not sure what 1070 01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,760 Speaker 1: can be done about it. Went with these fake Republics like, no, 1071 01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, I used to work with Tom Nichols. It's 1072 01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,400 Speaker 1: a fine guy, I guess, you know, and all that, 1073 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,880 Speaker 1: but he's never really been a conservative. You know, there's 1074 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 1: no what views of his are actually a conservative? I 1075 01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 1: don't know. And yet he's on there pretending to be 1076 01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 1: this uh you know, firstwhile Republican who who has you 1077 01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,080 Speaker 1: seen the light and is fighting against evil with it 1078 01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 1: in his own party. But he's never been a conservative. 1079 01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:19,160 Speaker 1: So it's just dishonest. We're speaking of David Harsani of 1080 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,960 Speaker 1: National Review, and David speaking of the lack of honesty 1081 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:25,680 Speaker 1: in public conversations. I gotta say this, so so, Pete 1082 01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:29,840 Speaker 1: Buddha Judge is now supposed to be the incoming Biden 1083 01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:37,480 Speaker 1: administration Transportation secretary, and some of the articles, some of 1084 01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:45,000 Speaker 1: this stuff on this have honestly been hilarious already. Pete 1085 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:49,160 Speaker 1: here's from NPR. Pete Buddha, Judge, president elect Biden's pick 1086 01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:53,320 Speaker 1: for Transportation secretary, said quote he has a personal love 1087 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:58,120 Speaker 1: of transportation, recounting train trips on Amtrak while in college, 1088 01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:02,320 Speaker 1: and said he proposed to his new husband chasing in 1089 01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:06,320 Speaker 1: an airport terminal. Oh well, no, I mean this, this 1090 01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,440 Speaker 1: is a step away from I'm not a doctor, but 1091 01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,960 Speaker 1: I stayed at a Marriott Expressed last night or whatever 1092 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,280 Speaker 1: a holiday and express whatever it is. And look, this 1093 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,240 Speaker 1: is the media is actually doing this. Pete Buddha Judge 1094 01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:22,919 Speaker 1: like trains in college, so he should be the transportation secretary. 1095 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,520 Speaker 1: It's amazing when you compare it to like what happened 1096 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,880 Speaker 1: with Betsy Davas or you know, any any anyone actually 1097 01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:34,480 Speaker 1: in the Trump administration. Pete, Pete actually mayor Pete. It's 1098 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:38,440 Speaker 1: like a thermonuclear cliche generator. You know. He says stuff 1099 01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,840 Speaker 1: like and I'm making this up, but it's probably pretty close, 1100 01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:44,040 Speaker 1: you know, like, uh, we don't build roads, the roads 1101 01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,000 Speaker 1: build us. You know that kind of thing. And he's 1102 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 1: perfect for for the job where where a little is 1103 01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,320 Speaker 1: done and it doesn't really matter. So I mean, I 1104 01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:56,400 Speaker 1: met ray La Hood when he was Obama's transprotect Transportation secretary, 1105 01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,560 Speaker 1: and he was one of the most ridiculous people I've 1106 01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:00,560 Speaker 1: ever met in person, and I would let him run 1107 01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,040 Speaker 1: anything either. So I think this is a pretty good 1108 01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:05,040 Speaker 1: spot for me. Yeah. I guess you're going to see 1109 01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:06,919 Speaker 1: a lot more of this though, And I remember when 1110 01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 1: say what you will about is foreign policy in action. 1111 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:16,120 Speaker 1: But the CEO of Exxon Mobile, which until recently was 1112 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:21,600 Speaker 1: the largest and wealthiest corporation in the world, I mean, 1113 01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:25,080 Speaker 1: the most valuable I should say corporation in the world, 1114 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 1: Rex Tillerson had that job, and when they were going 1115 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 1: to make him Secretary of State, they acted like Trump 1116 01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:35,360 Speaker 1: had picked some some like inebriated fool off the beach 1117 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,520 Speaker 1: somewhere that he thought was funny. To me, it's just 1118 01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:41,959 Speaker 1: there's no that the media has so little in terms 1119 01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,360 Speaker 1: of standards and principles they apply now, you know, political journalism. 1120 01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,120 Speaker 1: If we want to be more specific about it, David, 1121 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 1: then you just feel like they don't care anymore. They 1122 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,520 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, how is this possible, the double 1123 01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:57,720 Speaker 1: standards to be this blatant? Well, I mean, well, I 1124 01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:59,560 Speaker 1: don't know about that part, but I do know that 1125 01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,520 Speaker 1: it's fun when you think about how they would talk 1126 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,400 Speaker 1: about Trump as this person was completely unprepared for the job. 1127 01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:06,720 Speaker 1: But yet Obama, who literally I cannot tell you what 1128 01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:09,840 Speaker 1: he did other than run for president essentially for about 1129 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,640 Speaker 1: eight years before he became president. I don't even know 1130 01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 1: what he did before then. I know he's a community organizer. 1131 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,120 Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means. He never ran anything, 1132 01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:22,560 Speaker 1: but he's treated as someone who is like incredibly proficient 1133 01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,640 Speaker 1: and everything and knowledgeable and ready to run a giant 1134 01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,880 Speaker 1: or biggest organization in the world essentially, where where Donald 1135 01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:32,280 Speaker 1: Trump actually has ran pretty big businesses et cetera. But 1136 01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:36,080 Speaker 1: so there's always gonna be this double standard, and may 1137 01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,000 Speaker 1: or Peace just far part of it. And I gotta 1138 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:40,680 Speaker 1: ask you because I didn't get a chance to talk 1139 01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:46,160 Speaker 1: to you about this sooner. But you know, bet, I mean, 1140 01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm not Betti Us, the wife of Jill Biden. Sorry 1141 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:52,840 Speaker 1: I was blanking on an a for second, Jill Biden, 1142 01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,720 Speaker 1: where do you come down on the doctor the doctor 1143 01:05:55,720 --> 01:06:00,760 Speaker 1: Biden controversy. I've noted on numerous occas that the only 1144 01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,320 Speaker 1: people I call doctor people can prescribe me morphine and 1145 01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,760 Speaker 1: doctor Ja those are the two I've been persuaded to 1146 01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:10,040 Speaker 1: maybe do I'm not doctor, doctor Ja. I've been persuaded 1147 01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:14,760 Speaker 1: to maybe called doctor Dre a doctor. But Kyle Smithew 1148 01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:18,000 Speaker 1: writes at the National Review, wrote a scathing column and 1149 01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:23,479 Speaker 1: read her dissertation, which is just complete garbage. I would 1150 01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:26,760 Speaker 1: say that I don't call people doctors who aren't medical doctors. 1151 01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,280 Speaker 1: I find it pretentious. I think it creates against the 1152 01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:33,480 Speaker 1: egalitarianism of American life for someone to demand that you 1153 01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:37,080 Speaker 1: call them by their credentials. And I think it's kind 1154 01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,600 Speaker 1: of laughable considering what she's a doctor, in no offense 1155 01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:42,400 Speaker 1: to others who have been lucky enough to be able 1156 01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:44,120 Speaker 1: to go to school long enough to get that degree. 1157 01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,920 Speaker 1: David Harsani of National Review check out his latest at 1158 01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:52,480 Speaker 1: National Review dot com. David, always a pleasure. Thank you, 1159 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,440 Speaker 1: you're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton 1160 01:06:55,520 --> 01:07:02,280 Speaker 1: Show podcast. I've also had a personal love of transportation 1161 01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:05,560 Speaker 1: ever since childhood. More than once, as a college student, 1162 01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,680 Speaker 1: I would convince a friend to travel nearly a thousand 1163 01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 1: miles back to Indiana with me on Amtrak. Though I 1164 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,880 Speaker 1: know that in this administration I will at best aspire 1165 01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:19,440 Speaker 1: to be the second biggest train enthusiast around. I spent 1166 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,480 Speaker 1: a spring break in graduate school aboard a cargo ship 1167 01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:27,480 Speaker 1: studying there. Travel, in my mind, is synonymous with growth, 1168 01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:31,480 Speaker 1: with adventure, even love, so much so that I proposed 1169 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:35,000 Speaker 1: to my husband Chaston in an airport terminal. What does 1170 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:40,000 Speaker 1: that avenue of being transportation secretary? Exactly? That doesn't matter. 1171 01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean it matters. But the media is, Oh, it's amazing, 1172 01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 1: it's great, you know, modern modern romance in an airport, airport, 1173 01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,640 Speaker 1: whatever lounge or wherever he proposed, proposed to his husband. 1174 01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 1: You know they oh, they all love the story. They 1175 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,360 Speaker 1: love the whole thing. It's going to be quite an 1176 01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:04,520 Speaker 1: amazing feat to watch the transformation of the national media 1177 01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:11,680 Speaker 1: from being viciously psychotically opposed to the current administration to 1178 01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:18,960 Speaker 1: transforming and becoming an administration pom pomp squad. Right, they're 1179 01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:22,920 Speaker 1: gonna love. The national media is gonna love everything. They're 1180 01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:24,720 Speaker 1: gonna you know, two four to six s eight, Who 1181 01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:29,640 Speaker 1: do we appreciate Biden. It's gonna be it's gonna be 1182 01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:32,120 Speaker 1: tough to sit through. It's gonna be tough to deal with. 1183 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,479 Speaker 1: But that's what the good news is. You can come 1184 01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,400 Speaker 1: here at least I'll tell you the truth about old 1185 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:40,880 Speaker 1: man Joe, and what a joke, what an unbelievable farce. 1186 01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:43,120 Speaker 1: This whole thing is, this guy is gonna be president. 1187 01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,719 Speaker 1: But I guess the good news is that you two 1188 01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:50,360 Speaker 1: can be like a D minus student with with rock 1189 01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:54,880 Speaker 1: bottom credentials in every aspect of your of your formative years. Uh, 1190 01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:58,120 Speaker 1: and you two can be president of the United States. 1191 01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,519 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know anyone anyone can be president? 1192 01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:04,000 Speaker 1: All right, we get that from Joe Biden, and the 1193 01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:05,960 Speaker 1: media is going to find ways to try to convince 1194 01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:12,720 Speaker 1: you that this is just great and it's fantastic, and 1195 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:14,760 Speaker 1: they're going to be straight up activists. They're going to 1196 01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:18,839 Speaker 1: be effectively. It will be as though they are receiving 1197 01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:23,040 Speaker 1: paychecks from the White House directly. Kaylee McKinney, the outgoing 1198 01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:26,439 Speaker 1: White House Press Secretary, knows this. Play nine. I asked 1199 01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:31,240 Speaker 1: reporter after reporter after reporter along the campaign trail, why 1200 01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:34,400 Speaker 1: aren't you covering this? I said, you have a laptop. 1201 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,920 Speaker 1: You now have a firsthand witness, and Tony Bobo Lenski 1202 01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:41,160 Speaker 1: literally the business partner of Hunter Biden, and you have 1203 01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 1: a campaign and Joe Biden, who will not deny the 1204 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,400 Speaker 1: facts of this case. Remarkably, if they're not true, all 1205 01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,280 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has to do is come out and say 1206 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:53,759 Speaker 1: this is not true, this is falsesss defamatory. As President 1207 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:57,640 Speaker 1: Trump did with Russia Gate, which was a hoax, none 1208 01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:00,200 Speaker 1: of that happened. They did not deny it, and the 1209 01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:02,840 Speaker 1: press didn't cover it. It was the biggest act of 1210 01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:06,960 Speaker 1: journalistic malpractice in four years since the Russia hoax that 1211 01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,920 Speaker 1: they propelled in twenty sixteen. Journalism has to get to 1212 01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,400 Speaker 1: a higher standing place in this country. The American people 1213 01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,680 Speaker 1: deserve better. They don't deserve censorship, and the reporters of 1214 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:17,679 Speaker 1: today need to take a look in the mirror because 1215 01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,479 Speaker 1: they don't deserve to call themselves or reporters at this point. 1216 01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:23,400 Speaker 1: They are, in fact, activists. Sounds like something I'd say 1217 01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,599 Speaker 1: here on this show. In fact, I have said they're 1218 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 1: they're not journalists, they're activists, I think about a million times. 1219 01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:31,920 Speaker 1: And it's true. But it's also not going to change. 1220 01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:34,200 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean we shouldn't point it out, doesn't mean we 1221 01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:39,519 Speaker 1: shouldn't try to hold them to account. But remember it's 1222 01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:42,280 Speaker 1: not viewed as a shortcoming among journalists to be an activist. 1223 01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:47,200 Speaker 1: You'll be promoted, you'll become more famous, you become richer. 1224 01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:49,840 Speaker 1: These are all good things for people rights. That's the 1225 01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 1: way they view it. So the incentives are all aligned 1226 01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:56,920 Speaker 1: for the continuation, the perpetuation of this insanity. Just understand 1227 01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:00,880 Speaker 1: that thanks for listening to The bus Essence Show podcasts. 1228 01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:04,640 Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or 1229 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:10,240 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. We're still battling COVID, and 1230 01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:12,519 Speaker 1: there are still people out there who want to try 1231 01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:16,920 Speaker 1: to blame President Trump for all of it. They view 1232 01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:21,880 Speaker 1: this somehow is all Trump's fault. Somehow, the COVID pandemic 1233 01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,719 Speaker 1: has shown us the full extent of Trump't derangement syndrome. 1234 01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:30,200 Speaker 1: Not only is Trump to blame for it, he should 1235 01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:35,439 Speaker 1: even be criminally prosecuted for it. It doesn't seem to 1236 01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:38,360 Speaker 1: make any sense to a normal person, does it. But 1237 01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,599 Speaker 1: over at NBC News, you can get on TV if 1238 01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 1: you're willing to say that the president is effectively a 1239 01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:48,519 Speaker 1: mass murderer responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. And 1240 01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:53,200 Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerating. This has aired on national TV news 1241 01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:59,080 Speaker 1: programs Play three. I mean, the two worst presidents of 1242 01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:02,879 Speaker 1: the last hundred years are the last two Republican presidents, 1243 01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,559 Speaker 1: the current one, Donald Trump and George W. Bush, which 1244 01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 1: speaks volumes about the modern Republican Party. And also when 1245 01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:12,240 Speaker 1: you compare Trump and Bush, Push killed hundreds of thousands 1246 01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,920 Speaker 1: of people abroad, you know, brown and black people in 1247 01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,559 Speaker 1: far away countries that we don't care about. Donald Trump 1248 01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,360 Speaker 1: kill hundreds of thousand people, are presided over the deaths 1249 01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:23,559 Speaker 1: of hundreds of thousand people preventable death here at home 1250 01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:26,160 Speaker 1: in the United States of America. And that for me, 1251 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:30,000 Speaker 1: you know, you talk about morally abominable, it's sociopathic. You 1252 01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:32,599 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier in the show. The four words that will 1253 01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,920 Speaker 1: be the epitaph is we want more infections, We want 1254 01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:38,880 Speaker 1: more infected. What about who cares? In those emails that 1255 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,639 Speaker 1: jumped out at me, this guy Paul Alexander writes, if 1256 01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:45,360 Speaker 1: we have more cases, more people infected, more more positive tests, 1257 01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:48,519 Speaker 1: who cares? And you take who cares? You add it 1258 01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:50,880 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump's it is what it is. You add 1259 01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,680 Speaker 1: it to Jared Kushner's that's their problem when people in 1260 01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,559 Speaker 1: New York are dying. This is sociopathic. This is not 1261 01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:58,920 Speaker 1: just morally abomniable and I think people should be held 1262 01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:01,320 Speaker 1: to account. I think they should be prosecuted. The people 1263 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:04,360 Speaker 1: behind these preventable deaths should be prosecuted when they leave 1264 01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:08,800 Speaker 1: office on January twenty prosecuted for what what? What's the 1265 01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:14,760 Speaker 1: crime exactly? And an eersolized respiratory virus that can kill 1266 01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:16,760 Speaker 1: people kills less than one percent of the people who 1267 01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,080 Speaker 1: get it, but it can kill people, And you're going 1268 01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:22,280 Speaker 1: to prosecute people for what exactly? And how do we 1269 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:26,559 Speaker 1: factor into this this moronic rant? I mean, you need 1270 01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:30,160 Speaker 1: to hear that this was on NBC. Okay, this is 1271 01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:33,640 Speaker 1: NBC News. Maybe it was MSNBC, but NBC owns MSNBC. 1272 01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:38,040 Speaker 1: It's all the same thing as a national cable news channel. 1273 01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:43,080 Speaker 1: And you say, well, why would anyone say anything that insane? 1274 01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,439 Speaker 1: I mean, you just think this through. Is Donald Trump 1275 01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,519 Speaker 1: responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths that have occurred 1276 01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:53,559 Speaker 1: in Europe? Is Donald Trump responsible for all the deaths 1277 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:58,639 Speaker 1: from COVID nineteen in China? In South America and countries 1278 01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,760 Speaker 1: like Argentina and Brazil which have had a very tough 1279 01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:06,240 Speaker 1: time with COVID nineteen in Mexico. I just want to 1280 01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:10,920 Speaker 1: know what really is the moral guideline that's in place here. 1281 01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:14,639 Speaker 1: Can can we establish that, can we understand where all 1282 01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:19,000 Speaker 1: this really is? Doesn't seem doesn't seem like it doesn't 1283 01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,760 Speaker 1: seem like they're willing to let us know. They just 1284 01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:24,400 Speaker 1: want to use this as a as a weapon to 1285 01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:28,800 Speaker 1: attack Donald Trump, and that is what they continue to do. 1286 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:33,360 Speaker 1: And there are some on the on the on the 1287 01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:37,600 Speaker 1: right who have really sort of given into this, and 1288 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,520 Speaker 1: I think they've realized that that it's just so much easier, 1289 01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:45,880 Speaker 1: it's so much, so much more palatable to go along 1290 01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:49,920 Speaker 1: with this consensus that, oh, we know what the right 1291 01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:53,200 Speaker 1: thing is to do. It's just those big, bad, mean 1292 01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:58,000 Speaker 1: Republicans won't do it. Really, so, we know the right 1293 01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:01,200 Speaker 1: thing to do, but we won't we we won't do 1294 01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:03,960 Speaker 1: it because of Trump. That's what they really think, that's 1295 01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,040 Speaker 1: what they really believe. I mean, even Chris Christie, it 1296 01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:09,800 Speaker 1: seems convinced that he took his mask off for a 1297 01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:13,120 Speaker 1: second and that's when he got sick. He has absolutely 1298 01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,559 Speaker 1: no idea how or when he got sick, none whatsoever. 1299 01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:18,639 Speaker 1: I can assure you of that, he has no idea. 1300 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:23,679 Speaker 1: This is a sub microscopic virus that is transmitted freely 1301 01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:26,519 Speaker 1: in the air. I just read a study yesterday that 1302 01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:29,240 Speaker 1: says that people in a narrow hallway might be able 1303 01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:33,000 Speaker 1: to be infected by aerosolized particles up the sixteen feet 1304 01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:36,400 Speaker 1: behind the person that was on the Daily Mail, based 1305 01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,200 Speaker 1: on a study that was just released, a pure reviewed 1306 01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,400 Speaker 1: scientific study. Sixteen feet, all that six feet. You know 1307 01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:43,840 Speaker 1: that Tom Cruise went on that crazy ram we won't 1308 01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:45,880 Speaker 1: play it for you here screaming, and everybody on his 1309 01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:48,720 Speaker 1: movie said, because two people were close to each other 1310 01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:54,200 Speaker 1: at a computer treating, you know, dehumanizing people, screaming at them, 1311 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,920 Speaker 1: he'll be fired. No paycheck for you. You're out of here, 1312 01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:03,040 Speaker 1: a little psycho. That guy's a nut job. But Chris 1313 01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:05,400 Speaker 1: Christie is also in this whole. Oh you know, it's 1314 01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:08,439 Speaker 1: it's my faults. He doesn't know, He doesn't know if 1315 01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:10,520 Speaker 1: when he took off his mask is when he got infected. 1316 01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:13,639 Speaker 1: There's no way for him to know. But he wants 1317 01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:19,320 Speaker 1: to be part of this newer, less crazy Republican moment here. 1318 01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:22,760 Speaker 1: That's what some of these you know, the Rubio Christie 1319 01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:28,639 Speaker 1: Romney GOP, they're trying to bring this thing back. And 1320 01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:30,519 Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to happen. But I can 1321 01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,599 Speaker 1: see what they're doing. Play clip eight. This message isn't 1322 01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:36,640 Speaker 1: for everyone, It's for all those people who refuse to 1323 01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:39,960 Speaker 1: wear a mask, you know, Lion isolation and ICU. For 1324 01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,160 Speaker 1: seven days, I thought about how wrong I was to 1325 01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:44,800 Speaker 1: remove my mask at the White House. Today, I think 1326 01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,479 Speaker 1: about how wrong it is to let mask wearing divide us, 1327 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:51,680 Speaker 1: especially as we now know you're twice as likely to 1328 01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:55,439 Speaker 1: get COVID nineteen if you don't wear a mask, because 1329 01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:57,639 Speaker 1: if you don't do the right thing, we could all 1330 01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:02,040 Speaker 1: end up on the wrong side of history. Please wear 1331 01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:07,880 Speaker 1: a mask. We're wearing masks. Checkass. We're wearing masks. We've 1332 01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:11,040 Speaker 1: been wearing them for months. You have to wear them 1333 01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:14,640 Speaker 1: in most places in this country where there is dense population, 1334 01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:18,560 Speaker 1: you have no choice wearing them all the time. California 1335 01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 1: is wearing them, New York's wearing them. Cases are skyrocketing. 1336 01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:26,639 Speaker 1: So what exactly is the message here? Wear masks more? 1337 01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:30,320 Speaker 1: We're already doing it. Double up on the mask, where's 1338 01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:32,360 Speaker 1: your N ninety five masks? Put on a face shield 1339 01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:34,920 Speaker 1: two and maybe a kerchief around the N ninety five 1340 01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,760 Speaker 1: and maybe a medical you know, cotton mask. On top 1341 01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:41,200 Speaker 1: of all that, I mean, at what point do they 1342 01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:44,639 Speaker 1: realize something is up here and it's not our lack 1343 01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:50,040 Speaker 1: of compliance. That is not what is driving these up. 1344 01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:56,720 Speaker 1: That is a completely unreasonable just it's a nonsensical view 1345 01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:58,880 Speaker 1: of this. But they don't want to admit that maybe 1346 01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,400 Speaker 1: what they've been telling us is us not true. If 1347 01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:04,559 Speaker 1: masking works to reduce the spread of COVID nineteen by 1348 01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:10,200 Speaker 1: five percent or ten percent, it's it's it's just extending 1349 01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:13,400 Speaker 1: and you remember reducing the spread. It's just a duration issue. 1350 01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,479 Speaker 1: So what are really the chances that they're saving anyone 1351 01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:21,280 Speaker 1: from getting infected? Would get infected anyway you're reducing get 1352 01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 1: five or ten percent a month, let's say, Is that 1353 01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:27,760 Speaker 1: is that worth all this irritation, all the stuff that 1354 01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,519 Speaker 1: we're going through right now, the lack of freedom. It's 1355 01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:35,200 Speaker 1: all about compliance. Do what you're told. Chris Christie's like 1356 01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:36,600 Speaker 1: I took my mask off at the White House. He 1357 01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:39,280 Speaker 1: doesn't know he could have gotten infected a thousand different 1358 01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:43,559 Speaker 1: ways that day. He is no idea. But now he 1359 01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:45,400 Speaker 1: gets Now he gets to pat on the head from 1360 01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:47,120 Speaker 1: the New York Times. Now he gets to be treated 1361 01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:50,640 Speaker 1: like he's one of the good people, you know, And 1362 01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:53,000 Speaker 1: now they want you to know, don't worry. We won't 1363 01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:57,679 Speaker 1: punish you for your lack of mask wearing. We won't 1364 01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:01,960 Speaker 1: actually throw you in prison because we can't actually scientifically 1365 01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:04,600 Speaker 1: prove this is a good idea, but we insist that 1366 01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:07,000 Speaker 1: it is. This is common with telling you that place seventeen, 1367 01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:11,600 Speaker 1: he has said a hundred day mask mandate. Other than that, 1368 01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:17,599 Speaker 1: what specifically will this administration do to turn this pandemic round? Yeah, 1369 01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,439 Speaker 1: and the hundred days of the mask he's urging like 1370 01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:22,760 Speaker 1: there's no punishment, they don't have to, but he is saying, 1371 01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:27,000 Speaker 1: as a leader, please everybody work with me here for 1372 01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:29,719 Speaker 1: the first hundred days. Let's everybody just wear a mask 1373 01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:33,599 Speaker 1: and see the outcomes there, because of course the scientists 1374 01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,240 Speaker 1: and the public health officials tell us they'll be really 1375 01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:38,519 Speaker 1: great outcomes if everyone does wear a mask when they're 1376 01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:43,000 Speaker 1: in public. It is about getting through the pandemic around 1377 01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,360 Speaker 1: making sure that everyone has access to the vaccine and 1378 01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:48,400 Speaker 1: that they take it. And how do you go about 1379 01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:51,520 Speaker 1: doing that when you know there's so much mistrust, especially 1380 01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,400 Speaker 1: in the community of color. And that means about listening 1381 01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:57,519 Speaker 1: to the people. It means about remembering history and why 1382 01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:00,840 Speaker 1: people feel the way they do, and then also reminding folks, 1383 01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:03,960 Speaker 1: this vaccine is just about one thing, and one thing 1384 01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:08,880 Speaker 1: only saving lives, and the vaccine is about saving lives. 1385 01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:13,080 Speaker 1: You'll notice that our rejection of science that those of 1386 01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:16,800 Speaker 1: us who have problems with the mask mandates a lot 1387 01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:18,880 Speaker 1: of us at least who feel that way, don't have 1388 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,680 Speaker 1: a problem with the vaccine. I think the vaccine is 1389 01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:23,680 Speaker 1: based on solid data. I think the vaccine should be 1390 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,960 Speaker 1: should be something that people choose to take. And I 1391 01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:28,360 Speaker 1: think that there are going to be people. We are 1392 01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:29,760 Speaker 1: already seen a little bit of this. There's going to 1393 01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:32,880 Speaker 1: be adverse reactions. There is a risk. There's always a 1394 01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,600 Speaker 1: risk to a vaccine. There's no question about that. No 1395 01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:37,840 Speaker 1: matter what the vaccine is, there's always some risk to it. 1396 01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:40,280 Speaker 1: I think that on the whole, most of them are 1397 01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,240 Speaker 1: are very you know, not necessarily a flu vaccine for 1398 01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:46,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people, but you know, the MMR vaccines, 1399 01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:50,400 Speaker 1: and I think that this has been an enormous benefit 1400 01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:52,759 Speaker 1: to public health and has made us all live longer, 1401 01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:56,160 Speaker 1: happier lives. So I'm very pro vaccine in general, and 1402 01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm very pro this vaccine, and I think it will 1403 01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:00,800 Speaker 1: save a lot of lives. We'll help a lot of people. 1404 01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:04,599 Speaker 1: But notice that, so it's not just that there's some luddite, 1405 01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:09,599 Speaker 1: anti progress, anti science mentality that's pushing this. It's someone 1406 01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:13,519 Speaker 1: explained to me why we have these rules in place, 1407 01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:17,240 Speaker 1: and when the cases are low, it's, oh, look, we 1408 01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:20,400 Speaker 1: know how to handle this. The rules are so helpful. 1409 01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:22,719 Speaker 1: And then when the cases are high, with the same 1410 01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:27,720 Speaker 1: rules in place, they go, well, you're just not obeying enough. No, 1411 01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:32,439 Speaker 1: that's not I'm here in New York City and they 1412 01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:36,920 Speaker 1: have had everyone you see outside, even not even just 1413 01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:39,599 Speaker 1: to indoors, of course, but everyone you see outside now 1414 01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:44,240 Speaker 1: has a mask on. You knowin five percent, if this 1415 01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:49,120 Speaker 1: was really effective at stopping transmission in public places and 1416 01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:53,200 Speaker 1: you have ninety percent compliance, wouldn't wouldn't our case load 1417 01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:55,839 Speaker 1: just fall off of a cliff because of this. Wouldn't 1418 01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,240 Speaker 1: it be just a tiny, tiny number of people getting sick. No, 1419 01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:02,880 Speaker 1: but that's not what is happening, and they won't even 1420 01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:06,439 Speaker 1: think about why that is. Maybe it's because yeah, sure, 1421 01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,200 Speaker 1: you're let's say you're in a virus cloud in a 1422 01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,240 Speaker 1: room with someone and you're wearing that mask. You're being 1423 01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:15,240 Speaker 1: really good, but you know, you touch something and then you, 1424 01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:18,200 Speaker 1: and then you touch your nose or you touch something, 1425 01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:21,559 Speaker 1: or then you touch your mouth. Guess what you're still getting. 1426 01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:23,680 Speaker 1: And people say, oh, well, then just don't do those things. 1427 01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:25,200 Speaker 1: Do you know how many times you touch your face 1428 01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:29,040 Speaker 1: every every fifteen minutes or so. It's an astonishingly high 1429 01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:35,920 Speaker 1: number and everyone does it. But Kamala also when she's 1430 01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:39,120 Speaker 1: asked about people like Avinusom who are big proponents of 1431 01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:42,280 Speaker 1: all these rules, and then they don't themselves follow the rules. 1432 01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:45,000 Speaker 1: If it were really about saving lives, wouldn't they be 1433 01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:49,439 Speaker 1: more about compliance. I'll tell you this. For example, I'm 1434 01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:54,280 Speaker 1: very strict with myself and with others about firearms safety, 1435 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,400 Speaker 1: having seen and been on the range a few times 1436 01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:01,519 Speaker 1: when people have had a fire or safety lapse and 1437 01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:05,679 Speaker 1: how life threatening that can be. You know someone who 1438 01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:08,200 Speaker 1: oh it jammed. Oh, they turn around and they point 1439 01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:10,240 Speaker 1: the gun at somebody thinking, oh, no, it's jam You 1440 01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:11,840 Speaker 1: know I mean that that's do you see that happen 1441 01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:15,439 Speaker 1: once or twice and you realize firearm safety? So I 1442 01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:20,559 Speaker 1: practice what I preach, right, I say that everybody that 1443 01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:22,400 Speaker 1: I'm with and myself, we have to be held to 1444 01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:26,400 Speaker 1: a zero mistake standard when it comes to all guns 1445 01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:28,840 Speaker 1: are always loaded, keep your finger off the trigger until 1446 01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:31,599 Speaker 1: you've made an affirmative decision to shoot. Know what your 1447 01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:33,880 Speaker 1: target is, what is around it, and know what is 1448 01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:37,760 Speaker 1: behind it. Right, I mean, these are things that you 1449 01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:40,400 Speaker 1: you train yourself to think about because you're in a 1450 01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:42,960 Speaker 1: zero mistakes and you live by them, and you expect 1451 01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:46,760 Speaker 1: others to live by them. Right yet, and that's because 1452 01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:50,000 Speaker 1: lives are at stake. A mistake on the firearms range 1453 01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:52,880 Speaker 1: can cause so on their life. If lives are at 1454 01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:55,519 Speaker 1: stake with COVID nineteen, and the people pushing these policies 1455 01:23:55,520 --> 01:24:00,559 Speaker 1: really believe that, why do they keep violating the very 1456 01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:09,200 Speaker 1: policies that they claim are saving lives? Why is that anyone? 1457 01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,080 Speaker 1: They don't have any ideas on that one. Maybe it's 1458 01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:14,559 Speaker 1: because they don't really believe the things that they're saying. 1459 01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:18,920 Speaker 1: Here's Kamala Harris when I asked about Gavin Newsom, who 1460 01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:22,960 Speaker 1: clearly violates the guidelines he enforces at catastrophic costs on 1461 01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:26,920 Speaker 1: everybody else. Play eighteen leaders on both sides when it 1462 01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:31,320 Speaker 1: comes to the pandemic, they will put down strict guidelines 1463 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:36,080 Speaker 1: and even your colleague in California, the strict guideline but 1464 01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:39,280 Speaker 1: yet they don't follow through. What kind of message does 1465 01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:43,880 Speaker 1: that sin to the American public? I think we all 1466 01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:48,799 Speaker 1: have to understand that right now, this is a moment 1467 01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:54,840 Speaker 1: for everyone to sacrifice, and if we're going to get 1468 01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:57,280 Speaker 1: through this together as a country, then we all have 1469 01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:02,439 Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah, it's not an answer. You know why. 1470 01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:03,920 Speaker 1: It's not an answer. You know why you won't answer 1471 01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:05,639 Speaker 1: because there is no good answer other than they don't 1472 01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:08,680 Speaker 1: really believe the things that they're saying. They expect you 1473 01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:11,360 Speaker 1: to comply. They have no interest in complying themselves. Why 1474 01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:16,320 Speaker 1: is that. You can certainly come up with it yourself. 1475 01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:22,200 Speaker 1: Certainly understandable why they feel that way. We all know. 1476 01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:26,800 Speaker 1: The hypocrisy is very clear. It's very obvious. And yet 1477 01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:31,040 Speaker 1: they tell you shut up anyway, do what you're told, 1478 01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:35,640 Speaker 1: wear that mask. It's not going to stop until we 1479 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:41,000 Speaker 1: make it stop. You're in the freedom This is the 1480 01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:47,519 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Well, you know, I do think 1481 01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:50,519 Speaker 1: that we need new leadership in the Democratic Party. I 1482 01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,320 Speaker 1: think one of the things that I have struggled with, 1483 01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,120 Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people struggle with, is 1484 01:25:56,760 --> 01:26:01,960 Speaker 1: the internal dynamics of the House has made it such 1485 01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:08,040 Speaker 1: that there's very little option for succession if you will, 1486 01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:11,320 Speaker 1: you know, and I think that one could just I 1487 01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:13,640 Speaker 1: think it's easy for someone to say, oh, well, you know, 1488 01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:17,000 Speaker 1: why don't you run, But the house is extraordinarily complex, 1489 01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 1: and I'm not ready. It can't be me. I know 1490 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:25,560 Speaker 1: that I couldn't do that job. And so even conservative 1491 01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:31,479 Speaker 1: members of the party who think Nancy Pelosi is far 1492 01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:36,120 Speaker 1: too liberal for them don't necessarily have any viable alternatives, 1493 01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:39,680 Speaker 1: which is why whenever there's a challenge, it kind of collapses. 1494 01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:42,280 Speaker 1: And that is I think the result of just many 1495 01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:46,679 Speaker 1: years of power being concentrated in leadership with a lack 1496 01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:51,679 Speaker 1: of you know, real grooming of the next generation of leadership. Wow, 1497 01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:57,840 Speaker 1: what I had to blame. What she said is kind 1498 01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:03,519 Speaker 1: of true. So this is listen to anc go oh okay, yeah, 1499 01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:07,280 Speaker 1: Actually Nancy Pelosi has made sure that there are no successor. 1500 01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:09,800 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi reminds me a lot of actually of people 1501 01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:14,040 Speaker 1: in media, in the news media in particular, who want 1502 01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:15,920 Speaker 1: to pretend that they're they want to pretend they're the 1503 01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:17,599 Speaker 1: only one who can do a job that a lot 1504 01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:19,280 Speaker 1: of other people can do, but they want to make 1505 01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:21,720 Speaker 1: sure there's nobody else right behind them that could take 1506 01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:24,280 Speaker 1: over the platform. So there's certain people that they'll allow 1507 01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,760 Speaker 1: to do things, but there are others that they want 1508 01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:28,960 Speaker 1: to sort of keep away because that everyone realize, Oh, 1509 01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,639 Speaker 1: this person's younger, better, and a whole lot cheaper at 1510 01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:35,880 Speaker 1: this job. And Nancy Pelosi, it is time for her 1511 01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:40,479 Speaker 1: to go. She's not going, it's not going gonna be 1512 01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:42,519 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House again. It's pretty remarkable when you 1513 01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:46,080 Speaker 1: think about it, and they're really I mean, who among 1514 01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:50,840 Speaker 1: the Democrats could take over that job? And forget about 1515 01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:52,840 Speaker 1: whether you liked I'm just saying who would even be 1516 01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:56,160 Speaker 1: able to at least AOC is self aware enough to 1517 01:27:56,240 --> 01:28:00,960 Speaker 1: know she has nowhere near the institute knowledge to be 1518 01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:04,599 Speaker 1: effective in that role. And it's it's clear that there 1519 01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:07,800 Speaker 1: is no effort to bring up other people within the 1520 01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:10,760 Speaker 1: Democratic You know, Pelosi, she rules that thing with an 1521 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:15,519 Speaker 1: iron fist and an airmez scarf, and that's how she 1522 01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,240 Speaker 1: does it. Are they going to get this deal done 1523 01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:21,920 Speaker 1: where they get COVID or leaf to people though, I'm 1524 01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:24,720 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just gonna say it. If Republicans can't 1525 01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:27,960 Speaker 1: get this thing done, I worry about their fortunes in Georgia. 1526 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:31,240 Speaker 1: And there need to be direct payments. People need cash 1527 01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:35,000 Speaker 1: on the barrel right now. People need money, who have 1528 01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:38,400 Speaker 1: lost their jobs because the pandemic. They need help. The 1529 01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:41,640 Speaker 1: GOP has has got to step up here and make 1530 01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:45,080 Speaker 1: sure that's a part of this. I'm increasingly seeing this. 1531 01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,360 Speaker 1: If we lose Georgia, it looks like it's going to 1532 01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:50,080 Speaker 1: be because we deserve to lose Georgia because we're not 1533 01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:52,479 Speaker 1: doing the things we need to do to win the 1534 01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:55,760 Speaker 1: Senate seats. And you know, there's been a lot of 1535 01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:59,200 Speaker 1: distraction right now and not enough of the focus that's 1536 01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:03,280 Speaker 1: necessary to get it done there. And I'm just I'm 1537 01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:06,519 Speaker 1: pleading with all of Team Buck Georgia to get out 1538 01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:10,320 Speaker 1: there and do everything they can for those two Senate seats. 1539 01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:14,040 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the Bus Seston Show podcasts.

Oh, that's very nice. 1559 01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:29,160 Speaker 1: Do you guys have anything funny? Have anything fun going on? No, 1560 01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:34,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna watch a lot of movies, cook some stuff. Now, 1561 01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:38,960 Speaker 1: just enjoy as much as we can being together while 1562 01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:42,160 Speaker 1: doing absolutely nothing and not actually going anywhere. What is 1563 01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:46,240 Speaker 1: the top of the producer Mark movie list? Well? I 1564 01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:50,280 Speaker 1: actually said to my wife yesterday that maybe maybe on Christmas, 1565 01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:54,040 Speaker 1: maybe around the time. There's two holiday movies I would 1566 01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:58,880 Speaker 1: like to watch this year, Elf and Home Alone. I 1567 01:30:58,920 --> 01:31:00,840 Speaker 1: just have the itch to watch these two classics. No 1568 01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:03,160 Speaker 1: Princess and I watched Home Alone last weekend, in which 1569 01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:05,439 Speaker 1: I've seen a million times, but it's still great. You've 1570 01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:07,439 Speaker 1: seen them both a million times, but they're still amazing 1571 01:31:07,439 --> 01:31:10,120 Speaker 1: in classics. So yeah, so you've seen Elf many times. 1572 01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:15,920 Speaker 1: Of course, there there may be a there may be 1573 01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:22,800 Speaker 1: a best. Um. I think that you could argue that 1574 01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:26,920 Speaker 1: those are two of the top five. Oh yeah, you know, 1575 01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:30,000 Speaker 1: I think that that's I think Elf might be one 1576 01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:34,000 Speaker 1: of the top Christmas movies of all time, Like it's 1577 01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:38,439 Speaker 1: in the running for number one, is what I'm saying. Granted, 1578 01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:41,439 Speaker 1: I'm not a big Christmas movie aficionado, just I don't 1579 01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:44,840 Speaker 1: celebrate the holiday, but I know a lot of other 1580 01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:47,120 Speaker 1: people who do, who really love Elf. And I mean, 1581 01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:49,080 Speaker 1: I know you guys didn't do you guys didn't do 1582 01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:53,040 Speaker 1: that thing.

Um, and I remember, you know I 1602 01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:52,519 Speaker 1: got one of my so I I went to bar 1603 01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:53,960 Speaker 1: Mitts was growing up because I grew up here in 1604 01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:57,919 Speaker 1: New York City. Um, and my first girlfriend was Jewish 1605 01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:01,240 Speaker 1: or she was half Jewish, but I think who's raised Jewish? 1606 01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:04,600 Speaker 1: And I saw went too bar Mitzvuzz and Bob Mitzvu's. 1607 01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:07,639 Speaker 1: But I also remember there was a real breakout moment 1608 01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:11,600 Speaker 1: where Adam Sandler had the Honakah song, and it like 1609 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,160 Speaker 1: really created a fest There was a festive song about 1610 01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:15,920 Speaker 1: honecka all of a sudden. Yeah, I mean there are 1611 01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:19,479 Speaker 1: there are other songs, but that's the most popular Honecks 1612 01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:21,519 Speaker 1: song by far. Yeah, that that's what I mean that. 1613 01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:23,400 Speaker 1: I think that is TiO what people think. If you 1614 01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:27,960 Speaker 1: ask somebody who's not particularly religious, who's Jewish, if you 1615 01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:30,559 Speaker 1: ask them what is the ultimate Honikah song, I feel 1616 01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:32,120 Speaker 1: like they may say, well, of course it's the Adam 1617 01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:35,479 Speaker 1: Sandler Hanaka source. Nobody says Dradel, Dradl, Dradel anymore, it's 1618 01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:38,599 Speaker 1: all about Adam Sandler. Yeah, Adam Sandler man, that guy. 1619 01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:40,519 Speaker 1: That guy had quite a run, doesn't really do I mean, 1620 01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:43,040 Speaker 1: oh no, he did that uncut Gems movie, which basically 1621 01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:45,400 Speaker 1: gave me like harp palpitations. But yeah, I mean that 1622 01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:47,679 Speaker 1: was a great movie, even though you didn't like it. Yeah, 1623 01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:51,919 Speaker 1: but his stuff in the nineties early two thousands amazing. 1624 01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:54,680 Speaker 1: I think my brothers and I probably watched Happy gol 1625 01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:59,000 Speaker 1: Moore together at least a dozen times, So that's fair. 1626 01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:03,320 Speaker 1: The price is wrong. Um so yeah, anyway, we got 1627 01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:05,400 Speaker 1: all we got all the good, good things all around, 1628 01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:07,679 Speaker 1: and folks, just so you kind of have some sense 1629 01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:09,280 Speaker 1: of where we're heading here, I'm gonna be with you 1630 01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:12,760 Speaker 1: Monday Tuesday next week.

Okay, so that's the twenty third, 1633 01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:22,080 Speaker 1: So then so the twenty third and uh and then 1634 01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:24,240 Speaker 1: and then he will be with you the Monday, Tuesday, 1635 01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:26,760 Speaker 1: Wednesday of the week after Christmas, and then right we 1636 01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:29,439 Speaker 1: are off.

And we're planning other 1642 01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:44,840 Speaker 1: a lot of other fun things. So I'll be with 1643 01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:48,280 Speaker 1: you guys Monday and Tuesday of next week, and then 1644 01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:50,760 Speaker 1: the Godfather takes over next Wednesday. Producer Mark will be 1645 01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:54,240 Speaker 1: gone the following week. I turned thirty nine, it's my 1646 01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:57,720 Speaker 1: birthday week. I will be off that week. Godfather will 1647 01:34:57,720 --> 01:35:00,519 Speaker 1: be in Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then we'll have a 1648 01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:03,479 Speaker 1: best of show Thursday Friday for New Year's Eve. So 1649 01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:06,040 Speaker 1: and the Godfather is great and he's going to do 1650 01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:08,960 Speaker 1: a very solid job as he always does, taking over 1651 01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:12,400 Speaker 1: the Freedom hud. So that's that's and then January third 1652 01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:15,360 Speaker 1: we come back and it's all systems go. You can 1653 01:35:15,400 --> 01:35:17,840 Speaker 1: come back January third. I'll be in on the fourth. Oh, 1654 01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:20,479 Speaker 1: the fourth, right, the third would be Sunday, which would 1655 01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:23,479 Speaker 1: be that would be a bit of a surprise. I 1656 01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:26,680 Speaker 1: don't think the Affiliates would air the show. Um well, 1657 01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:28,280 Speaker 1: there would be no way for them too, because we're 1658 01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:30,000 Speaker 1: not on on Sundays, so that would be kind of 1659 01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:31,840 Speaker 1: a strange deal, it says when everyone to know that 1660 01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:33,880 Speaker 1: that's the Plants. I'll be with you pretty here for 1661 01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:36,599 Speaker 1: at least a couple of days next week here. But 1662 01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:38,000 Speaker 1: this is really the only time of the year that 1663 01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:40,559 Speaker 1: I that I take any vacation, you know, that's the 1664 01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:42,439 Speaker 1: only time of the year when I actually take vacation. 1665 01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:44,840 Speaker 1: So I'm and then producer Mark and a Grab be 1666 01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:48,200 Speaker 1: hanging out all the time. So that's how it's gonna go. Yeah, 1667 01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:52,519 Speaker 1: basically January fourth on, we'll be here. There you go, 1668 01:35:52,600 --> 01:35:54,240 Speaker 1: because we don't really we don't. We don't like we 1669 01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:56,880 Speaker 1: don't like other vacations. Oh, I like vacation, but the 1670 01:35:56,880 --> 01:36:00,000 Speaker 1: pandemic is made us not be able to take much. Yeah, 1671 01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:02,679 Speaker 1: that's true too, can't really do very much. All righty, 1672 01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:06,360 Speaker 1: let's get into the roll call. Jason kicks us off here. Buck. 1673 01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:09,479 Speaker 1: I'm a nurse on a COVID only unit, where I've 1674 01:36:09,479 --> 01:36:13,200 Speaker 1: been since the start. Like another listener commented, we haven't 1675 01:36:13,240 --> 01:36:16,880 Speaker 1: been testing for flu. In normal times, anyone who comes 1676 01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:19,880 Speaker 1: in contact with a provider and has respiratory symptoms is 1677 01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:23,799 Speaker 1: tested for flu, but that was largely replaced by COVID tests. 1678 01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:26,320 Speaker 1: I assume this was mostly due to the very limited 1679 01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:29,599 Speaker 1: supply of test kits. The same test kit is used 1680 01:36:29,600 --> 01:36:33,040 Speaker 1: for both covid and flu. I have had one patient 1681 01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:36,639 Speaker 1: that was both covid and flu positive, but for several months, 1682 01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:39,160 Speaker 1: patients were only tested for flu if it was important 1683 01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:43,479 Speaker 1: to the differential diagnosis and treatment plan. Numbers for flu 1684 01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:45,960 Speaker 1: might start to tick up going forward, starting a few 1685 01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:49,640 Speaker 1: weeks ago, COVID testing is now often part of a 1686 01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:53,200 Speaker 1: panel using one test skit that includes covid, flu and 1687 01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:56,400 Speaker 1: other common respiratory viruses. Jason, thank you so much for 1688 01:36:56,479 --> 01:37:01,280 Speaker 1: the expert analysis here on this. And first, so it 1689 01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:04,639 Speaker 1: is possible to have covid and flu simultaneously. So that's 1690 01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:06,600 Speaker 1: because I had asked about that, or at least to 1691 01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:11,280 Speaker 1: be positive for both covid and flu. And I'm looking 1692 01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:13,040 Speaker 1: at the data, and the data is saying right now 1693 01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:17,519 Speaker 1: they're basically, i mean, almost no flu deaths so far 1694 01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:19,280 Speaker 1: in the United States in this country, which is just 1695 01:37:19,320 --> 01:37:23,200 Speaker 1: not possible. So something is going on. I'm not I'm 1696 01:37:23,200 --> 01:37:27,040 Speaker 1: not being conspiratorial. I'm just saying something is going on, 1697 01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:30,600 Speaker 1: and we should figure out what that is. And you know, 1698 01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:33,240 Speaker 1: what if someone dies from respiratory symbtom Let's say someone's 1699 01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:36,519 Speaker 1: positive for flu and covid and they die because of 1700 01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:39,120 Speaker 1: the respiratory symptoms that are very similar for both of those, 1701 01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:43,840 Speaker 1: what did they die from? I mean, I just I 1702 01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:47,120 Speaker 1: think that we should understand that we have we're developing 1703 01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:52,559 Speaker 1: rules and and looking into this, right so, you know, 1704 01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:56,320 Speaker 1: something's going on here, something's happening that we're not being 1705 01:37:56,360 --> 01:38:00,559 Speaker 1: told or we haven't figured out yet. And and the test, 1706 01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:02,680 Speaker 1: the way that all these tests go on, I want 1707 01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:04,559 Speaker 1: to know. I mean, if PCR tests really are picking 1708 01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:09,879 Speaker 1: up old or effectively virus that's not at a clinically 1709 01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:13,519 Speaker 1: infectious or at a level of clinical infection. That means 1710 01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:15,960 Speaker 1: we're getting a lot of false positives around the country too. 1711 01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:18,400 Speaker 1: Now I know there's high hospitalizations and deaths too. I'm 1712 01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:22,240 Speaker 1: not saying that the testing is driving this whole moment 1713 01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:25,320 Speaker 1: of fear, but are we doing a lot of testing 1714 01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:28,639 Speaker 1: that is finding COVID that's not actually there. I think 1715 01:38:28,680 --> 01:38:32,519 Speaker 1: we should know that. I think that's important. John writes, Hello, 1716 01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:34,240 Speaker 1: Team Buck, I got a question for you regarding the 1717 01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:36,639 Speaker 1: vaccine and how it's going to play out. I'm currently 1718 01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:39,080 Speaker 1: a student in university here in New York, and I'm 1719 01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:40,640 Speaker 1: wondering if they're going to try to force you to 1720 01:38:40,720 --> 01:38:43,640 Speaker 1: have the vaccine to return to campus. What do you 1721 01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:45,559 Speaker 1: think is going to happen as the vaccine becomes more 1722 01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:48,080 Speaker 1: widely distributed. What do you think the process will look 1723 01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:50,920 Speaker 1: like for the average person to get vaccine? And thank 1724 01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:52,679 Speaker 1: you for the shows. I enjoyed to appreciate the radio 1725 01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:55,160 Speaker 1: and TV show every day. I wish you and everyone 1726 01:38:55,200 --> 01:39:00,840 Speaker 1: a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. John. Yeah, 1727 01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:05,200 Speaker 1: I look, I'll say this, Um, I think that it's 1728 01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:07,360 Speaker 1: gonna I think it is going to be required for 1729 01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:10,080 Speaker 1: people to get the vaccine to go back to certain 1730 01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:12,320 Speaker 1: schools and university settings. I think they're gonna say you 1731 01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:14,800 Speaker 1: have to because they already do that for other for 1732 01:39:14,880 --> 01:39:18,120 Speaker 1: other situations. You know, I think you have to get 1733 01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:20,759 Speaker 1: the measles vaccine before you go to school in some places. 1734 01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:23,719 Speaker 1: I have to check what the different rules and regulations are, 1735 01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:26,639 Speaker 1: but um, yes, so that's going to be a part 1736 01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:31,320 Speaker 1: of this. And I think that for the average person 1737 01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:35,960 Speaker 1: to get vaccinated, you're probably gonna have online sign up 1738 01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:39,479 Speaker 1: for different providers in your area, and you're gonna have 1739 01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:42,600 Speaker 1: a very specific time because they have to thaw the 1740 01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:46,680 Speaker 1: vaccine from the minus nineties celsius temperature that it's at. 1741 01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:51,120 Speaker 1: You've got to thaw the vaccine and then they have 1742 01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:53,240 Speaker 1: to give it to you at a very specific you know, 1743 01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:56,360 Speaker 1: in a very specific order. I think that if you're 1744 01:39:56,600 --> 01:40:00,360 Speaker 1: basically a low risk, healthy person, you'll be be able 1745 01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:02,880 Speaker 1: to get this vaccine by signing up online for an 1746 01:40:02,880 --> 01:40:05,400 Speaker 1: appointment that a provider near you, probably in May or June. 1747 01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:09,120 Speaker 1: That's my that's my best estimate from everything that I've read. 1748 01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:12,160 Speaker 1: That's what it sounds like, which means that we're making 1749 01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:14,240 Speaker 1: it through this entire You're going to go through this 1750 01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:21,560 Speaker 1: entire respiratory, you know, respiratory illness season, at risk of 1751 01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:24,200 Speaker 1: contracting COVID, just if you have not already had it. 1752 01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:30,800 Speaker 1: That's that's what we are actually facing here. So yeah, 1753 01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:33,759 Speaker 1: that's where that's where this is. And I'm so glad 1754 01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:36,120 Speaker 1: you enjoy the radio show and you watch the TV 1755 01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:39,400 Speaker 1: show on the First. You can always download the First 1756 01:40:39,439 --> 01:40:42,040 Speaker 1: TV app and watch my show. There. I lead into 1757 01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:45,479 Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly. We got Jesse Kelly, Dana Lash, great people 1758 01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:50,400 Speaker 1: at the first Scott Buck today around four thirty pm 1759 01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:53,200 Speaker 1: on k y kN in Salem, Oregon. I heard you 1760 01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:55,280 Speaker 1: close out just prior to a commercial with a statement, 1761 01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:57,439 Speaker 1: We're not going to go back to sitting on listening 1762 01:40:57,439 --> 01:40:59,320 Speaker 1: to Milton Friedman. It would be my opinion, listening to 1763 01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:01,600 Speaker 1: Milton Freedman is exactly what we should be doing. It 1764 01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:03,439 Speaker 1: hurt me to use his name as some buy word. 1765 01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:05,320 Speaker 1: I wish he was here to defend capitalism. No one 1766 01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:07,439 Speaker 1: else is love you love your show, but respect the 1767 01:41:07,479 --> 01:41:11,599 Speaker 1: Milton Scott. I grew up reading Milton and listening to Milton. 1768 01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:14,960 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that any I'm not saying that Milton 1769 01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:18,400 Speaker 1: Friedman doesn't doesn't have tremendous value. And I was I was, 1770 01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:21,680 Speaker 1: Scott maya culpa. I was flippant about it. I was 1771 01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:24,240 Speaker 1: flipping about it, and and I shouldn't have been. So let 1772 01:41:24,320 --> 01:41:27,600 Speaker 1: me go back and and say more of what I 1773 01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:29,320 Speaker 1: was trying to say, or more of what I meant 1774 01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:32,200 Speaker 1: to say, and not make a flip in comment about 1775 01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:36,160 Speaker 1: about Milton Friedman. It's just that we need to deal 1776 01:41:36,200 --> 01:41:40,960 Speaker 1: with the political fights and the consequences of decisions with 1777 01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:43,320 Speaker 1: the world as it is presented to us now. And 1778 01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:47,719 Speaker 1: I think that there's this conservatism, especially in the early 1779 01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:52,680 Speaker 1: two thousands, sort of had this had this nostalgia for 1780 01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:56,400 Speaker 1: for Reaganism. And yes, the principles and the ideas of 1781 01:41:56,439 --> 01:42:00,160 Speaker 1: Reaganism can carry through, but we have to understand we 1782 01:42:00,200 --> 01:42:04,400 Speaker 1: are in a period of different challenges and deal with 1783 01:42:04,600 --> 01:42:07,880 Speaker 1: the world as it is today, not harken back to 1784 01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:12,640 Speaker 1: the conservatism of you know, yesteryear, the conservatism of a 1785 01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:15,960 Speaker 1: different era and expect that to somehow be the answer 1786 01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:18,200 Speaker 1: to all of our problems today. I hope that's a better, 1787 01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:21,680 Speaker 1: better example. But Scott, I I agree with you. I 1788 01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:23,360 Speaker 1: shouldn't have said, you know, Milden Free I should have, 1789 01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:25,840 Speaker 1: you know, said like the Weekly Standard or something. You know, 1790 01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:30,240 Speaker 1: it's just some conservative publication instead of an individual that 1791 01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:34,040 Speaker 1: does not really have all that much value in the 1792 01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:37,240 Speaker 1: current context. Well, the Weekly Standard shutdown, so that clearly 1793 01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:42,639 Speaker 1: doesn't have much value. You're in the freedom Hunt. This 1794 01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:49,000 Speaker 1: is the Buck Sex and Show podcast, finishing off roll 1795 01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:52,680 Speaker 1: call here on this uh snowy Thursday. Well, I guess 1796 01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:54,240 Speaker 1: it's not snowing anymore, but they're lost snow on the 1797 01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:58,280 Speaker 1: ground here in New York. Joe, I love your show. Well, Joe, 1798 01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:01,320 Speaker 1: the show loves you. Been a fan since I first 1799 01:43:01,320 --> 01:43:03,559 Speaker 1: heard you when you filled in for Rush. I am 1800 01:43:03,640 --> 01:43:06,240 Speaker 1: oss and a big fan of the shield type podcast. 1801 01:43:06,320 --> 01:43:08,360 Speaker 1: I listen to other historical podcasts, but they tend to 1802 01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:11,400 Speaker 1: be extremely long. You cover it so well and do 1803 01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:14,160 Speaker 1: it in a session I can sit through in one setting. Well, Joe, 1804 01:43:14,200 --> 01:43:18,320 Speaker 1: thank you so much. And yes, I plan and we're doing. 1805 01:43:18,320 --> 01:43:20,320 Speaker 1: We already have some tape. We're gonna be doing more, 1806 01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:22,240 Speaker 1: so Shield Tile will be more of a thing in 1807 01:43:22,280 --> 01:43:25,280 Speaker 1: the new year. And we also are going to be 1808 01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:28,080 Speaker 1: putting some history podcasts up on YouTube, so you can 1809 01:43:28,120 --> 01:43:32,000 Speaker 1: go subscribe YouTube dot com. Slash Buck Sexton we're putting 1810 01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:34,200 Speaker 1: a YouTube stuff up there. If some of you been 1811 01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:36,559 Speaker 1: asking what are we doing on YouTube right now? There's 1812 01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:39,320 Speaker 1: so many restrictions on political commentary that as we've tried 1813 01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:43,160 Speaker 1: to build a YouTube channel of our wonderful Team Buck audience, 1814 01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:48,880 Speaker 1: it's been very challenging because we keep getting throttled and demonetized, 1815 01:43:48,920 --> 01:43:50,800 Speaker 1: so they won't show our videos to anybody, and they 1816 01:43:50,800 --> 01:43:52,600 Speaker 1: won't let us make any money off the videos that 1817 01:43:52,600 --> 01:43:55,840 Speaker 1: people are seeing. And we're working through that now on 1818 01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:58,519 Speaker 1: YouTube to figure out, okay, well what can we do here. 1819 01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm also on Rumbull putting stuff up on Rumble, but 1820 01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:04,040 Speaker 1: you know, I want to use as many platforms as possible. 1821 01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:06,360 Speaker 1: My goal is to have my content reach as many 1822 01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:09,240 Speaker 1: conservatives and just as many people. I mean, I want, 1823 01:44:09,280 --> 01:44:11,800 Speaker 1: I want to convert libs if I can. I want 1824 01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:13,840 Speaker 1: my content because I believe in it. I believe in 1825 01:44:13,920 --> 01:44:15,680 Speaker 1: what I do and what I say to reach as 1826 01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:19,360 Speaker 1: many people as possible. So we've had some trouble with YouTube, 1827 01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:23,360 Speaker 1: as many others have as well, because well, it's engaged 1828 01:44:23,400 --> 01:44:25,960 Speaker 1: in conservative censorship. So that's why people like, well you 1829 01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:28,000 Speaker 1: have this big audience at radio, why do you have 1830 01:44:28,040 --> 01:44:30,920 Speaker 1: a huge you know, YouTube channel, because they won't let 1831 01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:33,840 Speaker 1: us build a YouTube channels. That's big. We keep getting 1832 01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:37,439 Speaker 1: shut down. Dan Right's uncle Buck. The election sham has 1833 01:44:37,479 --> 01:44:40,760 Speaker 1: splintered the Right into an extreme faction, the same way 1834 01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:44,839 Speaker 1: the Squad and the Bernie Bros. Have. Last week, Rush 1835 01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:48,479 Speaker 1: even mentioned Secession, which went viral. Extremes are moving in 1836 01:44:48,479 --> 01:44:51,160 Speaker 1: opposite directions and taking greater control of the narrative. I 1837 01:44:51,200 --> 01:44:53,200 Speaker 1: have no idea where this road leads, but one thing 1838 01:44:53,280 --> 01:44:55,880 Speaker 1: is for certain. I no longer recognize this country as 1839 01:44:55,880 --> 01:44:57,280 Speaker 1: the one I grew up in, and I'm not an 1840 01:44:57,320 --> 01:45:00,400 Speaker 1: old geezer. We're around the same age. Do you see 1841 01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:03,559 Speaker 1: this country in ten, twenty thirty years and beyond? Ps 1842 01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:05,719 Speaker 1: Prucer Mark, what are your thoughts on Stephen A. Cohen 1843 01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:08,680 Speaker 1: taking over the Mets? Producer Mark will let you go 1844 01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:11,360 Speaker 1: first on the Mets, just to make this quick other 1845 01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:13,840 Speaker 1: than meeting my wife, getting married, job stuff, all that 1846 01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:15,800 Speaker 1: best thing to happen in my life, in my life 1847 01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:18,920 Speaker 1: in ten years. There you go, there you go. I 1848 01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:21,160 Speaker 1: think I think Producer Mark has answered your question. Sums 1849 01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:23,080 Speaker 1: it up well? Right, Yeah, I think I think that 1850 01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:25,320 Speaker 1: covers it. And as for a worth think the country 1851 01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:30,519 Speaker 1: is going in ten twenty years, Dan, I am. I'm 1852 01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:35,360 Speaker 1: a happy warrior and a cautious optimist and where we 1853 01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:38,120 Speaker 1: keep fighting through and we're still in the greatest country 1854 01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:40,799 Speaker 1: in the history of the world, and it's worth fighting 1855 01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:43,600 Speaker 1: for every day. And even when we lose battles, we 1856 01:45:43,720 --> 01:45:45,800 Speaker 1: did the right thing by fighting for our principles and 1857 01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:48,559 Speaker 1: that's what we'll continue to do. And there's remember there's 1858 01:45:48,560 --> 01:45:50,679 Speaker 1: seventy seventy three million of us that voted for Donald 1859 01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:53,080 Speaker 1: Trump in this election. Okay, we're not alone, friends, We're 1860 01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:55,960 Speaker 1: not alone. I know right now there's a lot of frustration, 1861 01:45:56,080 --> 01:45:58,760 Speaker 1: but we will band together and we'll try to make 1862 01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:01,960 Speaker 1: this continue to be the best country in the history 1863 01:46:02,120 --> 01:46:04,320 Speaker 1: of the world, which is what we've got. It's pretty remarkable, 1864 01:46:04,320 --> 01:46:06,080 Speaker 1: what you think about it. There's a lot, even in 1865 01:46:06,120 --> 01:46:08,120 Speaker 1: this very tough time, there's a lot to be thankful 1866 01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:11,040 Speaker 1: for in life. And that's why I say, you know, 1867 01:46:11,120 --> 01:46:14,160 Speaker 1: after you listen to this show, let's kickback, relax, take 1868 01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:16,519 Speaker 1: a breath, and read a good history book, hang out 1869 01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:19,040 Speaker 1: with the dog. If you got one shield tie
