Speaker 1: You're listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to hold a
Speaker 1: lot of I'm Buck Sexton. You would think that given
Speaker 1: the crises that the country is going through right now,
Speaker 1: the regime, the Biden administration, and the ruling elites would
Speaker 1: be focused on things like helping people afford the price
Speaker 1: of groceries of gas, dealing with the inflation that is
Speaker 1: destroying any wage growth that's been out there in the
Speaker 1: last year or so, and making everything less affordable for
Speaker 1: people these days. On top of that, you have a
Speaker 1: housing market that's looking to go pretty cold here soon,
Speaker 1: considering how high rates on mortgages are going. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of day to day problems kitchen table, financial checkbook
Speaker 1: kind of problems that the Biden administration and could be tackling.
Speaker 1: But what is the focus of the elites. What does
Speaker 1: the regime actually look at? Wow, where are they spending
Speaker 1: their time and energy? Look at that in just a moment.
Speaker 1: First off, I just want to say, if you look
Speaker 1: at the price of gas right now, four dollars and
Speaker 1: ninety eight cents price of gas today, so still near
Speaker 1: the all time highs. Something that's important to remember about
Speaker 1: this is that gas isn't just about what goes into
Speaker 1: your car to make it run. Gas also involves the
Speaker 1: transport of all of the goods that you are buying
Speaker 1: in stores, and in fact in the production of many
Speaker 1: goods themselves. Petroleum is in a whole lot of things, plastics,
Speaker 1: all kinds of different consumer products out there, which is
Speaker 1: all getting more expensive because the price of gas is
Speaker 1: more expen so people have less money, they have less
Speaker 1: ability to pay for these things. And if you look
Speaker 1: at the jump over the last I mean, here's a
Speaker 1: chart showing the twelve month percentage change in major categories.
Speaker 1: All items are up eight point six percent, food is
Speaker 1: up ten percent, and energy is up thirty four point
Speaker 1: six percent. So massive energy inflation underway right now, or
Speaker 1: rather the price of energy going up, and that is
Speaker 1: also affecting the overall economic picture in ways that we
Speaker 1: can all see. So they told us last summer inflation
Speaker 1: is not really a problem, don't worry about it. It's grandatory.
Speaker 1: Now we know it's a very big problem. In fact,
Speaker 1: it may be the primary issue that picks the Democrats
Speaker 1: out of power for the midterm election. So that's one
Speaker 1: component of all of this, And there's also how can
Speaker 1: we trust these people now who actually get the job done?
Speaker 1: What makes anyone think the same individuals that were so
Speaker 1: wrong about inflation will be able to forestall or perhaps
Speaker 1: even avert entirely a recession. Here's Joe Biden, for example,
Speaker 1: dismissing a reporter who asked about the recessions that you
Speaker 1: watch this not the majority of art, saying that, come on,
Speaker 1: don't make things up. Okay, now you're sounding like a
Speaker 1: Republican politician. I'm joking And how was a joke? But
Speaker 1: all kid aside, No, I don't think it is. What
Speaker 1: is this this thing that Biden does where he goes
Speaker 1: a majority are not saying that a majority of who?
Speaker 1: And how would he know? I mean, it's absurd the
Speaker 1: way that this guy gets away with saying things that
Speaker 1: no honest person could think would actually be true. But
Speaker 1: he just simply doesn't care. It doesn't matter to him.
Speaker 1: What matters to Joe Biden is that he has a
Speaker 1: talking point to deploy to try and defray at some
Speaker 1: level the absurdity of his administration's culpability in all this
Speaker 1: and try to keep people from thinking that Joe Biden
Speaker 1: is beyond his administration is beyond repair, and his cognision is,
Speaker 1: without a doubt, in decline. So there's no real hope
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be able to fix the economy anytimes.
Speaker 1: No one actually think that's gonnappen. Lets they fix the economy,
Speaker 1: just stop making things worse. I mean, that would be
Speaker 1: a worthwhile goal for these Democrats to get out of
Speaker 1: the way and to lessen the regulations and the desire
Speaker 1: for taxation. In fact, over the weekend on CBS, Margaret Brennan,
Speaker 1: who's an establishment journal asked a question of one of
Speaker 1: Biden's advisors, and he started talking about raising taxes. She said,
Speaker 1: that's not even gonna that's not going to help with
Speaker 1: the price of milk. I mean, that's that's not something
Speaker 1: that people that are struggling right now. A tax raise
Speaker 1: on anyone. Oh, it's just on the rich. He isn't
Speaker 1: going to help the people who are struggling, but is
Speaker 1: helping the people who are struggling? Really what this is
Speaker 1: all about, because on the one hand, all this economic
Speaker 1: pain that is unfolding before us seems to be directly
Speaker 1: tied to very bad decisions that Democrats made. But beyond that,
Speaker 1: you also see how much focus there still is on
Speaker 1: the COVID issue and their priority with regard to vaccinating children.
Speaker 1: Here is the CDC Director, Rochelle Wilenski, who is announcing,
Speaker 1: and this is a gleeful point for psychotic libs, announcing
Speaker 1: that vaccines are available for six months six months to
Speaker 1: five year old one COVID nineteen vaccines are now available
Speaker 1: for children under five. With this recent authorization from FDA
Speaker 1: and recommendation from CDC, nearly twenty million children are now
Speaker 1: able to get vaccinated against COVID nineteen. I know many
Speaker 1: parents with very young children have been anticipating this day.
Speaker 1: We now know, based on rigorous scientific review, that the
Speaker 1: vaccines available here in the United States can be used
Speaker 1: safely and effectively in children under five. Vaccinating young children
Speaker 1: is a critical opportunity to protect them against hospitalization and
Speaker 1: death from COVID nineteen. Prevent death from COVID nineteen. How
Speaker 1: many children have died under the age of five in
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. Rachel Olenski doesn't really want to answer that,
Speaker 1: because the number is so small that statistically you say
Speaker 1: It is like trying to prevent a lightning strike. But
Speaker 1: they want a three dose vaccine regiment for these kids,
Speaker 1: despite the fact that the efficacy, even by their own numbers,
Speaker 1: the data there using is not high at all. MODERTA
Speaker 1: vaccine was shown to be fifty one percent effective in
Speaker 1: preventing illness in children in six months and two years old,
Speaker 1: accord in the Washington Post, and thirty seven percent effective
Speaker 1: in children two years old to five years old. So
Speaker 1: what's going to happen soon here is you're going to
Speaker 1: see in the blue states, blue areas, there's going to
Speaker 1: be mandatory vaccination of very small children who, even if
Speaker 1: they got by the way seventy five percent of them
Speaker 1: this is CDC number I've already gotten COVID. They're going
Speaker 1: to push the vaccine that is less than forty percent
Speaker 1: effective on all these kids. Why because this is what
Speaker 1: the regime wants. This is their emotional impulse. They have
Speaker 1: to do this to protect the children. These are the
Speaker 1: kind of things they focus on. Oh and also banning
Speaker 1: conversion therapy. This White House has the time for that.
Speaker 1: This is from Politico. President Joe Biden on Wednesday will
Speaker 1: order his Health agency to begin effort to ban conversion
Speaker 1: therapy and expand expand access to gender affirming treatment after
Speaker 1: a slew of state attempts to limit transgender healthcare, particularly
Speaker 1: for children. Interesting, a would say, gender affirming isn't one
Speaker 1: actually gender denying order gender changing at least, but no,
Speaker 1: they call it gender affirming. Now, a transition is actually
Speaker 1: a return to what was always there. That's what they
Speaker 1: want you to. Please notice the manipulation through language. This
Speaker 1: is what they do all the time. So while the
Speaker 1: country is suffering economically, Biden White House still pushing forward
Speaker 1: with vaccines for kids that they don't need, with transgender
Speaker 1: ideology for young children. And then also of course the
Speaker 1: climate change lunacy from people like John Kerry. Here is
Speaker 1: the climate czar saying, you know, we really need to
Speaker 1: reinforce those green products. We need as a society to
Speaker 1: be reinforcing in the marketplace the choices that will come
Speaker 1: from green products and from green production schedules on the industry.
Speaker 1: We have to make green steel. We're doing that now.
Speaker 1: That's just it's amazing, isn't it. That's all that we
Speaker 1: have on this for right now, except we've got our
Speaker 1: friend David Marcus coming up next to talk about the
Speaker 1: effort to vaccinate our kids. We'll be back in just
Speaker 1: a few At first, I want to talk to you

Speaker 1: get all the kids vacs. We know that much because
Speaker 1: of how excited they get at the recent announcement that
Speaker 1: six month old to five year olds now can get
Speaker 1: the Fiser or moderna three dose vaccine regiment. And this
Speaker 1: is appalling on many levels. I mean, for one thing,
Speaker 1: they're going to make this mandatory in a lot of
Speaker 1: blue cities for schools. Almost certainly they've already made it
Speaker 1: mandatory for a lot of summer camps all over the country,
Speaker 1: so forcing kids to get shots that they clearly buy
Speaker 1: the numbers do not need. But nonetheless the regime wants
Speaker 1: what it wants. David Marcus near CROs Columns joins us now, David,
Speaker 1: good to see it? Hey, Bud, what's with one to
Speaker 1: get all the kids the shots? Man? When are they
Speaker 1: gonna when are they gonna realize this is this is
Speaker 1: crazy when these when these COVID stories pop up. Now,
Speaker 1: the way it feels to me, it's like if you
Speaker 1: ever go a while without wearing a suit, and then
Speaker 1: you wear it and you're out and you reach in
Speaker 1: the pocket and you know, you pull out like a
Speaker 1: ticket stub and from four months ago, and you go, oh,
Speaker 1: I forgot that I went to this thing. This is
Speaker 1: this is how these stories feel to me now, like
Speaker 1: this is over, guys, And we certainly don't need some
Speaker 1: gigantic rush and push from the government to get these
Speaker 1: shots in these kids arms. If there's parents, as CNN claims,
Speaker 1: who are super excited about this, and The New York
Speaker 1: Times claims, by all means, go talk to your pediatrician.
Speaker 1: It's your kid. But the idea that the government is foisting,
Speaker 1: as you say, a pretty needless facts and on these kids,
Speaker 1: it's troubling and it is just regime power. I mean
Speaker 1: when I also saw a story recently, I thought to myself,
Speaker 1: this is straight out of the Just give it time.
Speaker 1: It'll go from conspiracy theory to fact list that we
Speaker 1: could have or the playbook perhaps, and that is the
Speaker 1: there is. Now do you see this a study that
Speaker 1: comes in from a National Institude of Health acknowledging that
Speaker 1: COVID vaccines are linked to an increase in the menstrual
Speaker 1: cycle length of women and also COVID nineteen vaccination was
Speaker 1: shown to temporarily impair semen concentration and total motal sperm
Speaker 1: count among semen donors. So it does actually mess with
Speaker 1: your fertility systems male and female. I remember when saying
Speaker 1: something like that would get you kicked off social media
Speaker 1: and you were a hateful person or just want to
Speaker 1: grandma to die? Were these male semen donors or female
Speaker 1: semen donors? Buck, I was making an assumption there, of course, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you really, Debby, you really shouldn't, right, Um No, I
Speaker 1: mean that's these I say that because these are two
Speaker 1: concepts equally based in science. Um no, it's it's it
Speaker 1: is absurtain. It is troubling, and especially you know, just
Speaker 1: coming back to the kids for a second last year
Speaker 1: of the argument with the kids was they're pretty safe,
Speaker 1: but you have to get them a shot for grandma
Speaker 1: and grandpa and all of the you know, Taylor Lorenz
Speaker 1: and all of the people at high risk. That's gone now, right,
Speaker 1: that that's nonsense. This really does just have to be
Speaker 1: a personal choice. And as you point out, look, of course,
Speaker 1: of course we're going to find out that there were
Speaker 1: more and more side effects and things we didn't expect.
Speaker 1: That's just that's just life. I mean, that's the operation
Speaker 1: More Speed was wonderful and needed and a great job
Speaker 1: by President Trump. But there's a reason that vaccines usually
Speaker 1: take as long as they usually take. Yeah, and if
Speaker 1: you said that at the time, by the way, because
Speaker 1: I remember, because I was saying it, everyone shouted at
Speaker 1: you and said, how dare you? And this is genius
Speaker 1: and we're gonna beat this thing if we only take
Speaker 1: the virus seriously and follow the science and we know
Speaker 1: what works. And I mean, David, my sense of humanity,
Speaker 1: at least in in the context of America, but my
Speaker 1: sense of the masses willingness to go along with cheer
Speaker 1: bullcrap if certain people from powerful positions say it enough times,
Speaker 1: I can never forget all the stupid things that people
Speaker 1: not only were willing to do then, but still kind
Speaker 1: of walk around like zombies, acting like it was the
Speaker 1: right thing to do all along, even though we know
Speaker 1: it clearly wasn't. Yeah, you know, it is shocking and troubling.
Speaker 1: I do, in part blame the Internet for two reasons. One,
Speaker 1: it really did succeed in siloing information, where only one
Speaker 1: side's information was able to get out there right through censorship.
Speaker 1: The other though, is that I don't think we could
Speaker 1: have locked down twenty years ago. I don't think without Zoom.
Speaker 1: I don't think without all of these technological advancements, you
Speaker 1: know that where the Internet allowed everyone to work remotely,
Speaker 1: that that even have been feasible. And I think those
Speaker 1: are things that Americans should think about because we are
Speaker 1: kind of getting pushed into these little autonomous zones where
Speaker 1: we just look at our screens and it's kind of
Speaker 1: a scary way to live. David here is a Fauci
Speaker 1: this past weekend talking about masking up indoorstill watch. Hopefully
Speaker 1: the more people that get vaccinated and boosted, and the
Speaker 1: more people to realize the importance of when you have
Speaker 1: a high level of viral dynamics that when you're in
Speaker 1: an indoor setting, you should wear a mask. Even though
Speaker 1: the whole world, including the United States and the UK,
Speaker 1: just worn out and tired by this outbreak, it isn't
Speaker 1: over yet. People need to realize it is never going
Speaker 1: to go back to zero. That's not the nature of
Speaker 1: this virus. I mean, he's telling basically people that want
Speaker 1: to really believe the science forever mask it's forever now.
Speaker 1: And this guy's like five minutes away from saying, if
Speaker 1: you're going to have an opencast, good funeral, make sure
Speaker 1: that the you know deceased is wearing a mask. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's about That's about where we are here, you know,
Speaker 1: because symbolically that will encourage others to or something like
Speaker 1: it's always hopefully with this guy, well we don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, Hopefully someday we'll all be able to, like,
Speaker 1: you know, go do normal things again. I really hope
Speaker 1: we're done with him. I really think it's time for
Speaker 1: him to retire with his millions and millions of dollars
Speaker 1: and just you know, go wherever he wants to go.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just think he should be fired. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think the Fauci deserves whatever public humiliation that can
Speaker 1: be offered by people who are in a position of
Speaker 1: authority to fire. Obviously, Biden will never do that to
Speaker 1: worship this clown because of the political ramifications for them
Speaker 1: if admitting that he was wrong all along. But I
Speaker 1: think the damage that's been done, I mean, David, there
Speaker 1: will be there will be parents who are and you
Speaker 1: and I both know this, and you know you live
Speaker 1: in parts of New Work where this stuff, I'm sure
Speaker 1: is really common. They'll be parents who will come out
Speaker 1: and they'll be showing photos of their little kid, you know,
Speaker 1: three year old getting vaccinated, two year olds getting vaccinated,
Speaker 1: and say, now I can finally take my child to
Speaker 1: the park because they're safe, like maniac. And they think
Speaker 1: that they're heroes for doing this. They're they're engaged in
Speaker 1: child abuse. Actually those people exist. I mean, look, it
Speaker 1: took a lot longer than you and I wanted, but
Speaker 1: I think those people are in the minority. Now, it's
Speaker 1: an angry, loud minority. And like I said, it took
Speaker 1: way too long. But look, people are going to make
Speaker 1: their own choices. But I think for the vast majority
Speaker 1: of Americans, there's no great rush to go get your
Speaker 1: six month old vaccinated for COVID. And I think that's
Speaker 1: just the simple fact of the matter. I certainly hope not.
Speaker 1: David Marcus, I was good to see you, sir, You
Speaker 1: too much? All right? Coming up? The international body that
Speaker 1: regulates aquatic competition for women has some new guidelines about
Speaker 1: whether trendswomen can compete against women in aquatic sport. We'll
Speaker 1: discuss with t and aloe in a moment. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about protecting your home for a minute. You know that
Speaker 1: I'm skeptical by nature, So when I first heard about
Speaker 1: home tattle theft and the idea that thieves can literally
Speaker 1: steal your home, I was like, really, can some cybercriminal
Speaker 1: really forge my name off the tittle of my home
Speaker 1: and takeover as the new owner. Turns out, yeah, he can.
Speaker 1: Not as rare as you'd think. According to the FBI,
Speaker 1: this crime is growing faster than credit card fraud, and
Speaker 1: you're not covered by homeowners insurance or comment at any
Speaker 1: theft programs. Home tetlelock earned my trust. Home tettle lock
Speaker 1: puts a virtual barrier around your home's title. The instant
Speaker 1: they detect anyone tampering with their home's title, they mobilize
Speaker 1: to help shut it down. Here's what I urge you
Speaker 1: to do. Number one, go to hometetlelock dot com and
Speaker 1: read the testimonials from FBI agents and government officials. Number two,
Speaker 1: register your home address to see if you're already a
Speaker 1: victim and don't even know it. When you protect your home,
Speaker 1: tell them buck sex and send you to get my
Speaker 1: listener discount home tetlelock dot com. That's hometetlelock dot com.
Speaker 1: It is a policy that we need to introduce in
Speaker 1: order to protect the competitive fairness of our event. President
Speaker 1: of FENA, the organization that oversees international aquatic sports competition,
Speaker 1: after the announcement that they would no longer allow those
Speaker 1: who had gone through puberty as males to compete against
Speaker 1: women in aquatic sports. Anyone who transitioned before puberty, however,
Speaker 1: it seems under this policy may in fact be allowed. ESPN,
Speaker 1: in an artcle wrote that swimming's world governing body, FENA,
Speaker 1: voted to restrictive participation on Sunday of transgender athletes in
Speaker 1: elite women's competitions and create a working group to establish
Speaker 1: an open category for them in some events as part
Speaker 1: of its new policy. Joining me now is commentary writer
Speaker 1: at The Washington Examiner, l Tina. Good to see him.
Speaker 1: Hi back, So what's your initial reaction to this policy?
Speaker 1: Step in the right direction, obviously a step in the
Speaker 1: right direction, but one telling that it did come from
Speaker 1: an international body, one that's not, you know, behold into
Speaker 1: the same special interest that have sort of taken American
Speaker 1: into a lesser extent. You're a British politic by storm,
Speaker 1: you know you've seen the same debate play out across
Speaker 1: the pond with regards to do we have all liberal
Speaker 1: political power to the transgender lobby and globally, No, you're
Speaker 1: not going to have that same energy because I think
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, even more you know, left
Speaker 1: leaning other European countries, see that this is fundamentally about fairness.
Speaker 1: If it weren't about fairness, the number one places we're
Speaker 1: pushing back wouldn't be women's sports, which is about equality
Speaker 1: and safety, especially when it comes to direct contact report
Speaker 1: and also things like do we how transgender women in
Speaker 1: biological women's prisons? So yeah, this is good that it's
Speaker 1: coming from from an international organization, but telling that American
Speaker 1: organizations aren't the ones to start this. And so what
Speaker 1: as we understand, the policy would mean that you could
Speaker 1: compete if you were, say transgender, but had become you
Speaker 1: had done your transition in a prepubescent stage. Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that? What the that what seems to be the
Speaker 1: categorizations that are set up by this. So yeah, so
Speaker 1: they're clearly trying to tell a line where they won't
Speaker 1: be accused of transphobia, because the main concern with puberty
Speaker 1: isn't just the presence of hormones, right because Leah Thomas
Speaker 1: has been on transitional hormones for a few years. It's
Speaker 1: also about things like bone density and bone size. Those
Speaker 1: are things that happened during puberty, and they're effectively irreversible.
Speaker 1: You know, there are some some statistics of transgender adults
Speaker 1: winding up with you know, chronic conditions like osteoporosis or
Speaker 1: like diabetes as a result of those transitional hormones. But still,
Speaker 1: any male or any this gendered or biological man who
Speaker 1: has gone through male puberty, even if they are on
Speaker 1: those female affirming hormones, I think that's the correct language,
Speaker 1: will still have the increased male bone density. And so
Speaker 1: by saying that it's either PAN or stage two or
Speaker 1: age twelve, whichever comes later, they're obviously trying to create
Speaker 1: a carve out one that probably won't mean much in practice,
Speaker 1: because luckily, most doctors do not allow children to start
Speaker 1: transitioning medically from age twelve. Hopefully it stays that way,
Speaker 1: but they're clearly trying to have their all their basis
Speaker 1: covered so that they can't just be accused of just
Speaker 1: blanket transphobia. But the fact is, when we were talking
Speaker 1: about the realities of biological sex in something that is
Speaker 1: supposed to be an objective competition like athletic there's really
Speaker 1: no way of dividing between these two. Do you think
Speaker 1: that this is going to result in other organizations changing
Speaker 1: their policies. I mean, here's a statement for from Australian
Speaker 1: Olympic gold medalist Kate Campbell, who spoke in support of
Speaker 1: the FENA ruling. She said, we see you, value and
Speaker 1: accept you. My role, however, is a stand up here.
Speaker 1: Having asked our world governing body FENA to investigate, deliberate
Speaker 1: and uphold the cornerstone of fairness in elite women's competition,
Speaker 1: seems a little bit like they're saying, you're definitely a
Speaker 1: woman if you're a trans woman, but you also definitely
Speaker 1: have an advantage if you are a transwoman against biological
Speaker 1: women in swimming, which I do think raises the question
Speaker 1: who are they really a woman? No, not going to
Speaker 1: want to grapple with the philosophical you know, cognitive dissonances
Speaker 1: that I think the rest of us see is all there,
Speaker 1: and that these things should be more open areas for
Speaker 1: discourse rather than settled back, because that's not the way
Speaker 1: that this question has ever been approached right, acting as
Speaker 1: though there's any absolute in one direction or the other.
Speaker 1: But I'm still choosing to find the promise in this
Speaker 1: because the fact remains that it will be up to
Speaker 1: you know, these mainstays of each individual sport, Like, for instance,
Speaker 1: in tennis, you do have Martina Navabrella, someone who's very
Speaker 1: important to the legacy of the sport, saying that no,
Speaker 1: it is not fair to have a biological male who
Speaker 1: prevents his female competing against the biological women because the
Speaker 1: two sexes and the two genders are physiologically created differently.
Speaker 1: It does require the people with the most power to
Speaker 1: say it. It's and its sports have always been like this,
Speaker 1: and it's why it was such a show of strength
Speaker 1: when you had top global tennis players like naomiosoft Funds
Speaker 1: Arna Williams speaking out over the disappearance of Penshui in
Speaker 1: China versus the absolute craven behavior that we see from
Speaker 1: the NBA and the NFL. You know, you've taught people
Speaker 1: like Lebron who refused everyone call out anything except for
Speaker 1: something sexy and good, like on the blee so the
Speaker 1: Athlete Allies Athlete Allies an organization that fights to include
Speaker 1: trans athletes in sports, and tweeted out bena's new eligibility
Speaker 1: criteria for transgender athletes and athletes with intersex variations is discriminatory, harmful, unscientific,
Speaker 1: and not online with the twenty twenty one IOC principles.
Speaker 1: If we truly want to protect women sports, you must
Speaker 1: include all women. So, I mean, there are organizations that
Speaker 1: are saying these are women just like any other women,
Speaker 1: and it is bigoted to pretend otherwise, like there are
Speaker 1: there are full on fantasy land people out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a hill that the ACLU and
Speaker 1: the Human Rights Campaign have been dying on for years,
Speaker 1: even though I mean, you can correct me on the
Speaker 1: exact time, but if I recall correctly a book, it
Speaker 1: was not even a decade ago that women were taken
Speaker 1: out of competition if they did you know, genetic or
Speaker 1: hormonal testing, and they were found to have too much
Speaker 1: to stosterone present and they weren't even clinically diagnosed as intersects. Right,
Speaker 1: you have female competitors who have been disqualified because they
Speaker 1: have the presence of too much male hormones. So and
Speaker 1: that was again in my living memory and I'm not
Speaker 1: that old. So we are. You have the radical group
Speaker 1: of activists trying to reinvent the wheel with regards to science,
Speaker 1: things that are verifiable facts, and not doing so about
Speaker 1: who can play in the peewee league against you know,
Speaker 1: you're four year old, But who is eligible for Olympic medals?
Speaker 1: Who is eligible for end see double A scholarships that
Speaker 1: wind up becoming massive opportunities for educational gender equality. That's
Speaker 1: what they're trying to dictate. And I think that they
Speaker 1: might have gone a little bit too far. I think
Speaker 1: if you don't have Leah Thomas seen as an actual
Speaker 1: contender for the next round of Olympic Games, for the
Speaker 1: twenty four Olympic Games, I don't know if you have
Speaker 1: this declaration. So maybe it's just they overshop their hand
Speaker 1: and now there has to be a pushback, and you
Speaker 1: and I should see this is a good thing, even
Speaker 1: if it is couched in a little more liberal, squishy
Speaker 1: language of inclusivity. Whatever gets the job done, whatever reflects
Speaker 1: the most truth and science, that is what's best. Dana.
Speaker 1: I always appreciate seeing you. Thanks so much, Thank you,
Speaker 1: Buff all right, coming up, does the left actually want
Speaker 1: to use the government to censor speech online more than
Speaker 1: we had ever anticipated before. Our friend and Wine Garden
Speaker 1: from Real Clear Investigation is going to join to answer
Speaker 1: that question. Stick around. Each morning, the President of the
Speaker 1: United States receives a highly classified briefing on the most
Speaker 1: important issues facing the country. It's called the President's Daily
Speaker 1: Brief or PDB. It's delivered by America's spies and analysts. Well,
Speaker 1: now you can hear your very own PDB in the
Speaker 1: form of a podcast hosted by me Brian Dean Wright,
Speaker 1: a former CIA operations officer. Each morning at six am Eastern,
Speaker 1: I'll bring you fifteen to twenty minutes of the most
Speaker 1: important issues facing the country, giving you the critical intelligence
Speaker 1: and analysis you need to start your morning. It's going
Speaker 1: to pause. There's been a mischaracterations from outside outside forces,
Speaker 1: and so in that word we're going to do is
Speaker 1: we're going to pause it and we're going to do
Speaker 1: an assessment. But the work does. The work doesn't stop.
Speaker 1: We're still going to continue the work. The dh AS
Speaker 1: is still going to continue to ard. So they told
Speaker 1: us just last month that they were going to stop
Speaker 1: the disinformation Governance Board the DGB because it sounded like
Speaker 1: a ministry of truth and that freaks people out, understandably,
Speaker 1: So yeah, they decided that that wasn't going to fly.
Speaker 1: But then it seems that they still had the urge
Speaker 1: to police speech online using government resources. So maybe now
Speaker 1: they're trying to be more clever about it, because there's
Speaker 1: some talk of a two point oh Disinformation Governance Board effort.
Speaker 1: What's really going on here? Talk to our friend Ben Weingarten,
Speaker 1: a deputy editor of investigations at Real Clear Investigations. Ben,
Speaker 1: what's up? Man? As gen Buck always a pleasure, always
Speaker 1: fun to talk about these fantastic topics like our government
Speaker 1: being as orwellian as it possibly can be. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: here is just the announcement of this new White House
Speaker 1: task force that sunds to some people like DGB two
Speaker 1: point zero. The President signed a Presidential memorandum officially establishing
Speaker 1: this task force, advancing the Biden Harris Administration's commitment to
Speaker 1: prevent and address all forms of gender based violence wherever
Speaker 1: it occurs. This task Force will address the pervasive problem
Speaker 1: of online harassment and abuse, which disproportionately targets women, girls,
Speaker 1: and LGBTQI plus people, lgbtq I plus people. That was
Speaker 1: the longest version of the acronym I've ever heard. But
Speaker 1: as an asside, or rather back to topic at hand,
Speaker 1: from the aside, what are they talking about? Yeah, the
Speaker 1: first thing that comes to mind when I think about this, well,
Speaker 1: two things. One, when they say gender based violence, what
Speaker 1: they mean is rhetoric that challenges the radical sexual identity
Speaker 1: agenda or gender identity agenda that the Left is pushing
Speaker 1: full borewidth, and that this administration in particular is incredibly
Speaker 1: aggressive with in terms of promoting quote unquote gender affirming care,
Speaker 1: including for minors, and they're pushing back on states via
Speaker 1: the DOJ, threatening them to the extent States step in
Speaker 1: and say, wait a minute, this is a little bit
Speaker 1: crazy for children to be potentially mutilating themselves above and
Speaker 1: beyond the wishes of their parents, and when they're obviously
Speaker 1: under eighteen. But setting that aside, one thing is a
Speaker 1: gender based violence. But they're talking about speech, and they
Speaker 1: equate speech with violence here, But then they're perfectly okay
Speaker 1: with actual violence out on the streets when it's in
Speaker 1: service of their agenda. The second aspect of this is
Speaker 1: This is about silencing the likes of lives of TikTok
Speaker 1: and anyone else who dares holds up a mirror to
Speaker 1: what the left actually believes on these issues. With taxpayer
Speaker 1: funded drag Queen Story Hour at your local school or
Speaker 1: in your public library and the like. This is absolutely
Speaker 1: just a cudgel, just a means to get into policing
Speaker 1: speech that frankly, already the social media platforms are policing.
Speaker 1: I mean they silence everyone and their mother when it
Speaker 1: comes to quote unquote misgendering someone. If you call Rachel
Speaker 1: Leavin a man on Twitter, you're liable to get banned.
Speaker 1: So that's what I see this task for us as
Speaker 1: being just another incarnation of is let's find another way
Speaker 1: to silence people on a subject who don't go along
Speaker 1: with our chosen narrative. Then, in your piece on real
Speaker 1: clear investigations, you're at the memo called for DHS respond
Speaker 1: to disinformation in areas where there are clear objective facts,
Speaker 1: such as medical evidence regarding COVID and factual information about
Speaker 1: election administration and security. So basically you've got free speech
Speaker 1: as long as doesn't coincide with the most important and
Speaker 1: contentious topics of national debate at any given time that
Speaker 1: Democrats want to dominate, right in a nutshell, Yes, and
Speaker 1: of course when you're talking about elections. The way that
Speaker 1: the courts have looked at this, and I think it's
Speaker 1: the right way to look at it's the way the
Speaker 1: founders looked at it, is that political speech is the
Speaker 1: core of protected speech, and what you're quoting from. There
Speaker 1: are some of the planning documents around no No promin
Speaker 1: around the DGB that Senators Grassley and Holly obtained from
Speaker 1: a whistleblower, and of course Secretary Alejandro Maorcas of DHS
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that you know, the DGB isn't
Speaker 1: focused on domestic issues and domestic dissenting voices. It only
Speaker 1: cares about quote unquote irregular migration and Russian disinformation on
Speaker 1: the eve of the elections. But actually, in fact, in
Speaker 1: the very planning documents, the very memo that served as
Speaker 1: the basis of the recommendation to create the EGb, the
Speaker 1: first things they list under dangerous Misinformation to the Homeland
Speaker 1: are of course on election integrity and COVID nineteen. And
Speaker 1: this shouldn't surprise anyone by the way that there was
Speaker 1: an explicitly domestic focus here, because for months now we've seen,
Speaker 1: as we've talked about before, these threat bulletins put out
Speaker 1: by the Department of Homeland Security talking about the fact
Speaker 1: that dangerous misinformation, particularly around what else but COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: and election integrity, contributes to the heightened threat environment to
Speaker 1: the homeland. All along. The entire narrative that they've been
Speaker 1: putting forward since really before January six, twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: is that if you dare dissent on any issue that
Speaker 1: we consider to be important to cement our power, we
Speaker 1: are going to treat you. We're going to set your
Speaker 1: threat to the homeland in reality, we're going to treat
Speaker 1: you as a threat to our regime, our power, our narrative,
Speaker 1: and go after you. And that's how you end up
Speaker 1: with this same regime targeting parents like terrorists. So what
Speaker 1: is the role of social media companies going to be
Speaker 1: in this newly imagined DGB two point zero world? And
Speaker 1: what do they expect the social media companies to do?
Speaker 1: I mean, aren't they already doing it? Yeah? You know,
Speaker 1: there's an interesting aspect of this, which is that social
Speaker 1: media companies, of their own volition already would go out
Speaker 1: there and be censoring people, I think on all matter
Speaker 1: of topics. Partially this goes back, of course to the
Speaker 1: fact that they let the horror of all horrors happen.
Speaker 1: They take it as they're being culpable for Trump getting
Speaker 1: elected in twenty sixteen. Like it was social media companies
Speaker 1: has fought for allowing the bad Orange Man to use
Speaker 1: their platforms and rise to power. Also, of course, the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party is in large part in hock to big tech,
Speaker 1: which is of course in Silicon Valley primarily, so that
Speaker 1: would explain in part why they take these positions. But
Speaker 1: there's a push and pull here, and that is that
Speaker 1: the regime itself gives them an excuse to do the
Speaker 1: censorship they probably we already liked to do by saying
Speaker 1: you need to police your platforms because this poses a
Speaker 1: threat to the homeland. Whatever we say at a given
Speaker 1: time poses a threat. And what these documents show is
Speaker 1: that in spite of the fact that the administration tries
Speaker 1: to wash its hands of its control over social media,
Speaker 1: there's a planning memo for a meeting between DHS officials
Speaker 1: and Twitter executives talking about in the words of the document,
Speaker 1: operationalizing the relationship between DHS and Twitter. Of course we
Speaker 1: already see that the relationships operationalize. But once again my
Speaker 1: orchists himself said, this is not an operational entity. It's
Speaker 1: it's just a board. They just discuss things and coordinate
Speaker 1: some activities. No operations. Well no, In fact, it was
Speaker 1: precisely planning to help police police speech by deputizing a
Speaker 1: big tech platform. And of course the administration has been
Speaker 1: doing this for months, using the bully pulpit and threatening
Speaker 1: and basically you've had Jens Hockey saying if one platform
Speaker 1: d platform someone, all out of d platform someone. The
Speaker 1: Surgeon General comes out, he says, you have to police COVID.
Speaker 1: Wrong think. We now see, of course the climates are
Speaker 1: talking about the fact that you have to curb speech
Speaker 1: that conflicts with the agenda on global warming. So it
Speaker 1: goes on and on anything. The regime doesn't like that
Speaker 1: you say they're going to use big tech to police,
Speaker 1: then good of you to join. Thanks so much. Oh
Speaker 1: it's a pleasure. All right, We've got some great stories
Speaker 1: for you up next. In quick Hits, stay with US
Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris grossly distorts a part of the
Speaker 1: abortion debate and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, also former
Speaker 1: Harvard President member him from the Social Network movie. He
Speaker 1: says the recessions coming, and he's probably right. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about this right now in quick hits. If you're looking
Speaker 1: for a stude constitutional analysis, no analysis of any kind,
Speaker 1: Thamala Harris is not the person you're going to want
Speaker 1: to return to. Kamala Harris has been a remarkably inapt
Speaker 1: vice president, even by Democrat standards. They can't even prop
Speaker 1: her up and make it seem like she really knows
Speaker 1: what she's doing. So there are clear issues at play
Speaker 1: with Kamala Harris on any level of analysis. But here
Speaker 1: she is telling everybody that abortion Now she's putting on
Speaker 1: the theologians robe if you will, or I guess theologian
Speaker 1: hat priest's robe. Whatever she's saying on the issue of abortion,
Speaker 1: no one has to abandon their faith when it comes
Speaker 1: to killing babies. Watch, so we're gonna see. I've been
Speaker 1: convening as convene faith leaders, and you know, for those
Speaker 1: of us a faith, I think that we agree, in
Speaker 1: many of us, that there's nothing about this issue that
Speaker 1: will require anyone to abandon their faith or change their faith.
Speaker 1: It's simply saying that the government should not have the
Speaker 1: ability to decide what an individual does with her own body.
Speaker 1: What about vaccine shots? I mean, I'm just wondering, think
Speaker 1: of think about how dishonest this stupid argument is that
Speaker 1: she's making. You should be able to decide what to
Speaker 1: do with your own body. First of all, there's another
Speaker 1: body inside the body. That's the whole point, and that's
Speaker 1: the beauty of being a mother and the miracle of
Speaker 1: life that occurs during your pregnancy. But even beyond that,
Speaker 1: they're making an argument about how you should just have
Speaker 1: bodily autonomy when it comes to the government. Oh, unless
Speaker 1: it comes to getting lots of shots in your arm,
Speaker 1: and then that argument doesn't imply anymore at all. Just
Speaker 1: grotesquely dishonest. But that's what the Democrat Party has become
Speaker 1: as for a while. Unfortunately, Larry Summers, the former Obama
Speaker 1: Treasury secretary's out there while the Biden regime primary talking
Speaker 1: point is there's no recession. It's gonna be fine, it's
Speaker 1: not inevitable. That's what they keep saying. Larry Summers like, actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be recession. I think all the precedents
Speaker 1: point towards a recession. Recession, chuck. If you look at
Speaker 1: a whole range of indicators, if you look at what's
Speaker 1: happened in markets, if you look at the relative levels
Speaker 1: of interest rates of different durations, if you look at
Speaker 1: surveys of consumer expectations, and if you look at the
Speaker 1: simple fact that what drives inflation is supply and demand.
Speaker 1: Supply doesn't change that fast, and so mostly what you
Speaker 1: need to do to reduce inflation is reduced demand. And
Speaker 1: that is a very hard process to control, and so
Speaker 1: it usually leads to recession. Usually leads to a recession.
Speaker 1: Indeed it does. By the way, in Wisconsin, a first
Speaker 1: grade teacher led students in a play of allegiance to
Speaker 1: the Pan African flag. Watch and one face up on
Speaker 1: the count of three, one, two, three, I pledge allegiance
Speaker 1: to the flag of the Afro American people. Under God,
Speaker 1: I will protect freedom, seek peace, honor our ancestors, and
Speaker 1: encourage and support the development and prosperity of people of
Speaker 1: African descent. You may be seated. I never seen that before. Interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then there's doctor Fauci, who still thinks that anyone
Speaker 1: should listen to him for any reason whatsoever, and he's
Speaker 1: worried about all the untruths out there. Watch this one.
Speaker 1: What we do have is something that's very disturbing in
Speaker 1: this country is what I referred to as the normalization
Speaker 1: of untruths. There's so much distortion of reality and conspiracy
Speaker 1: theories that are spread widely by social media. Where you know,
Speaker 1: social media can have a positive impact on society by
Speaker 1: spreading important, productive information. But when you get total untruths
Speaker 1: and act quietly quite frankly lies and absolute crazy distortions
Speaker 1: of reality that get picked up spread through the social media.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's there's the absolute worst. He really is.
Speaker 1: That's everything I told. The line the nosepan News of
Speaker 1: Bill Aroundy is next Fields High. Each morning, the President
Speaker 1: of the United States receives a highly classified briefing on
