1 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom huge coronavirus vaccine is approved 2 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: and on the move. Plus Abram says Democrats will win Georgia, 3 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: Antifa attacks Trump marchers in DC, China's massive infiltration of 4 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: UK firms by the CCP, and don't call Joe Biden doctor. 5 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: This is the Bus Sexon Show, where the mission or 6 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. 7 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: Make no mistake America, Bring here a great America again. 8 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: The Buck Sexon Show begins the CIA analysts. Remember he's 9 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: a great guy. No welcome, friends to the Buck Saxon Show. 10 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: We have good news today. I know it's tough to 11 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: allow yourself even to believe it at this point. We've 12 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: been through so much bad news recently, the countries in 13 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: the grip of this pandemic. We have more cases, more 14 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: debts in a day, in a month than we've ever 15 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: had before. And we also have an election result that 16 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: continues to be outrageous and frustrating and rage inducing a 17 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: result so far at least, and I know the Electoral 18 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: College is meeting today. So there's a lot that we 19 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: have to just grit our teeth for. But there is 20 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: this vaccine that is out there, and it is on 21 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: the move, and we should all be very very pleased 22 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: about this, excited about this. It will be the beginning 23 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: of the end of at least this wave of tyranny. 24 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to overstate this. There are a lot 25 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: of people who see what has happened to this country, 26 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: who see how easily cowed the US population is, and 27 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: they think that this can be replicated, that this can 28 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: be copied for other issues, other policy areas and concerns. 29 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: They're not going to give up. In fact, they view 30 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: this as the playbook going forward on a whole host 31 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: of issues. But let's just at least look at the 32 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: vaccine right now. I still remember in February being on 33 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: the Bill Marshaw on HBO and being sneered at his 34 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: stat laughed at because they said, Trump is saying that 35 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: the vaccine is going to be delivered in record speed. 36 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: And I said, well, they are planning to deliver it 37 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: in record speed. That is the planet. Oh, you're so ridiculous. 38 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: Trump will never do it. Well it wasn't just then 39 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: and there. We've seen countless other examples of people, especially 40 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: when you get back into April, May and June time period, 41 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: or they were laughing at Trump for suggesting that operation 42 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: Warp Speed. They thought the name was ridiculous. He'd never 43 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: be able to pull this off. He's not good enough, 44 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: he's not smart enough, and gosh darnat people don't like him. 45 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: That's what they were saying. I mean, that was the whole, 46 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: the whole laugh line. They had fact checkers, even they 47 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: had fact checkers who jumped in on this one. To 48 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: NBC News fact check from May fifteenth, coronavirus vaccine could 49 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: come this year, Trump says. Experts say he needs a 50 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: quote miracle to be right. Well, it looks like Trump 51 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: delivered a miracle because vaccines are going into people's arms 52 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: in this country today. Less than one year research to vile, 53 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: research to vaccination. They're actually doing it. They're getting it done, 54 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of credit the administration should get 55 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: for this, but there's not really a focus on it. 56 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: Of course, they don't really care to have anybody really 57 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: come forward from the administration and say, hey, all of 58 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: our critics were wrong. That's not good. The media is 59 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: not going to spend any time on that. By their 60 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: own admission, this is a miracle. That's what they told 61 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: us by their own admission, this is a miracle, and 62 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: so then we have to ask what does it mean 63 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: going forward? What is the reality of this? Now there's 64 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: a tremendously complicated system here to get this vaccine out. 65 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: I read I read about it over the weekend, and 66 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: it's pretty incredible. I mean, this was written in the 67 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. The journey starts in a factory just 68 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: outside Saint Louis, where Fiser scientists make the raw materials 69 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: though the backbone of vaccine. Those materials move on to 70 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: and over Massachusetts, where researchers turn them into mr n, 71 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: a molecular couriers that deliver genetic instructions to the body. 72 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: The mr NA is dispatched to Michigan, where machines the 73 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: size of single car garages envelop them with lipid nanoparticles, 74 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: microscopic vessels used to deliver genetic material into the body. 75 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: Making doses takes about a week, and batches sit for 76 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: about two weeks before being shipped. The vaccine is transported 77 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: in glass vials strong enough to withstand transit and these 78 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: subarctic temperatures in which the liquid must be stored. Trays 79 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 1: carrying one hundred ninety five vials are packed with dry 80 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: ice and suitcases or suitcase like boxes weighing eighty pounds. 81 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: Those vaccines eventually are diluted with enough saline solution to 82 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: make nine hundred and seventy five doses. So this is 83 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: a complicated process, and this is the most ambitious vaccination 84 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: effort the world has ever seen. This is remarkable. It 85 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: is a tremendous scientific achievement. And I think that it's 86 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: a shame that we have such a focus on other 87 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: things right now, and there's so much partisanship that there 88 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: isn't any willingness in the media to credit and administration, 89 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: even if they believe it is now the outgoing administration. 90 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: Even though the Electoral College is meeting today and it 91 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: has certified will certify Joe Biden in these states as 92 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: the winner. The fact is that the Trump team did 93 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: pull off something of a miracle, and it had nothing 94 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: but doubters and challengers and haters all along the way. 95 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: That's what was really going on here in the media. 96 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: I'm talking about now, I mean, all the fact checks 97 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: all they'll never get this done. They're lying about this. 98 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: So this is a victory that we should all celebrate. 99 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: But I know it's hard to be in any kind 100 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: of a celebratory mood because of what's going on in 101 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: the country. And this is going to take This is 102 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: going to take time. In a sense, this is like 103 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: the invasion at Normanity. This is the D Day landing 104 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: of our fight against this vaccine. Remember after D Day, 105 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: there was still a lot of fighting left to do, 106 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people that lost their lives. 107 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: That's where we are right now. We've got our feet 108 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: on the shore at Omaha Beach. We got our feet 109 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: ready to go here. But this is going to take 110 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: ninety days before we really feel a massive effect from this. 111 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: Maybe sixty days, but something along, something along those lines. 112 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: And I think everybody should be prepared for a very 113 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: challenging December and January. We all know that. But along 114 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: with this vaccination process, which I just I know it's 115 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: about so much here and it's not really it shouldn't 116 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: be a political issue. But the Trump team deserves an 117 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: enormous wave of thanks. You know, the people that hate 118 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: science so much, right, that's what they always say. Trump 119 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: and his advisors they don't believe the science. Well somehow 120 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: they have helped bring it to being a scientific miracle 121 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,559 Speaker 1: through operation warp speed of getting this vaccine out to people. 122 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: But while we're distributing this and trying to get our 123 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: lives back, trying to get our society back, we should 124 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: understand that there are those who believe that these lockdowns 125 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: and these restrictions on us should continue long after the 126 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: vaccine reaches a critical massive distribution. Now this is our 127 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: new normal going forward, that it's completely necessary, not even acceptable, 128 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: it is necessary to have all of these lockdowns despite 129 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: all the data you could point to to show that 130 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: lockdowns are certainly insufficient on their own, and many would 131 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: even challenge whether they are beneficial when you look at 132 00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: the costs versus the actual benefits of it. Bill Gates, who, 133 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: I don't know why we have to listen to this 134 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: guy outside of how to build a microprocessor, I really don't, 135 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: but we do because because he's really Really rich people 136 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: and really famous people are treated like they know things 137 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: in this country. They're treated like their experts and whatever 138 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: they feel like talking about, which is a shame because 139 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: they're not. But Bill Gates, who is worth I don't know, 140 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: over one hundred billion dollars, some absolutely astronomical and crazy 141 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: number he wants everyone to know that their bars, their 142 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: restaurants should be closed down play too well. Certainly, mask 143 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: wearing has essentially no downside. They're not expensive. Bars and 144 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: restaurants in most of the country will be closed as 145 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: we go into this way, and I think sadly that's appropriate, 146 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: depending on how severe it is. The decision about schools 147 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: is much more complicated because they're you know, the benefits 148 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: are pretty high. The amount of transmission is not the 149 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: same as in restaurants are so you know, trade offs 150 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: will have to be made. But this the next four 151 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: to six months, really call on us to do our 152 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: best because we can see that this will end and 153 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: you don't want, you know, somebody you love to be 154 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: the last to die of coronavirus. Notice that he won't 155 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: tell you what the data really says about schools. Schools 156 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: are complicated. That's the only concession that Bill Gates will make. 157 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: Your school closers are They're not complicated. School closers are dumb. 158 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: They're not supported by the science. It's absolutely not worth 159 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: it to close down schools, and everybody who was advocating 160 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: for that at any point during this pandemic was wrong. 161 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: They were wrong. There's not a debate on this. They 162 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: were wrong. We have the data, We've run the experiment, 163 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: we have the numbers. Why won't he say that? Why 164 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: is this guy so obsessed with controlling so many people? 165 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: And also his comment about masks, I completely reject. Masks 166 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: are limiting your ability to breathe freely, whether you want 167 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: them or not. I'll put that aside for a second. 168 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: Let's not pretend that it's no big deal. It's very annoying. 169 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: It's a restriction of your most basic freedom, the right 170 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: to breathe free fresh air, more basic than anything even 171 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: written the Constitution. Are you allowed to breathe? Kind of 172 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: you breathe the way we say you breathe uncomfortably through 173 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: what we tell you have to breathe through. This is moronic. Oh, 174 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: there's no cost associated with this whatsoever. I mean, this 175 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: is a totalitarianism that goes beyond even the kind of 176 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: stuff you see in North Korea. You you're not allowed 177 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: to breathe the way you want to breathe. Why is that? Oh, 178 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: because it's so effective at preventing That's why we have 179 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: all these mask mandates all across the country, and cities 180 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: and states and what exactly is it done to flatten 181 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: the curve? I ask you that, what has it done 182 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: to flatten the curve? Nothing? They won't admit that. They 183 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: won't say that. They just pretend that we can't. This 184 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: is all the emperor's new clothes, friends, it's the Emperor's 185 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: new mask. You're not allowed to look at what's going 186 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: on and say, well, maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. 187 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: You know how well it works. Whatever we can get 188 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: into all that doesn't. Does a government mandate mean anything? No, 189 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: it does not. It does not help. Look at all 190 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: the charts, look at all the graphs. I know, I'm 191 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: like a treated like a lunatic on this by the mainstream, 192 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: But they're wrong. I was right about schools. They were 193 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: wrong about schools. Do you think they admit that. Do 194 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: you think it makes any of them think, well, maybe 195 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: maybe we've exaggerated the intelligence of Saint Fauci here, and 196 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: maybe we should rethink some of these policies. They will 197 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: not do that. And I'm here to tell you that 198 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: while the vaccine is good news and it is getting 199 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: distributed to that certainly is cause for celebration, or at 200 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: least it's encouraging, right, I mean, maybe we're not in 201 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: a celebratory move, but it is encouraging. The Bill Gates 202 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: is the globalists, the long downers, the authoritarians, the left. 203 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: They want this to continue for I've been saying until 204 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: next fall, but pretty much for another year. They want 205 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: another year of you complying doing whatever they say. They 206 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: want another year of this play one. When do you 207 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: think life will fully return to what we thought of 208 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: as normal back in January? No masks, no social distancing, 209 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: no other protective measures necessary. Certainly by the summer will 210 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: be way closer to normal than we are now. But 211 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: even through early twenty twenty two, unless we help other 212 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: countries get rid of this disease and we get high 213 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: vaccination rates in our country, the risk of reintroduction will 214 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: be there. And of course the global economy will be 215 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: slowed down, which hurts America economically in a pretty dramatic way. 216 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: So we'll have starting in the summer, about nine months 217 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: or a few things like big public gatherings will still 218 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: be restricted. But you know, we can see now that 219 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: somewhere between twelve to eighteen months and we have a chance, 220 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: if we manage it well, to get back to normal. 221 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: Why do we have to manage it well to get 222 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: back to normal. I just want to know what he thinks. 223 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: What the logic is there. We're going to get everyone 224 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: vaccinated and then they're going to be at herd immunity. 225 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: That's what's going to happen, or manage it. Oh so 226 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: if we don't manage it well, we never get back 227 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: to normal. You'll notice they hold this out there. There 228 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: is this thought they have. Maybe we keep this in 229 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: the back pocket. Maybe we use this whenever we want 230 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: to get people to bend the knee. Oh, COVID could 231 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: come back. Oh it's in forward country. Sorry, lockdowns here, 232 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: your business shutdown here, do what we say. There is 233 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: a mass psychological conditioning here that you are a surf, 234 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: that you do what the state tells you to do, 235 00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: and it will continue until you tell them no, will 236 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: not comply. And we have not reached enough of that 237 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: mentality in this country yet. And it's a sad thing. 238 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: It's a sad thing. I usually think we were a 239 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: free people that valued our liberty. Only some of us 240 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: are a lot of us just want to be safe 241 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: and warm and fed, and nothing else matters to them. 242 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: You're in the freedom. This is the Buck Sex and 243 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: Show podcast. If I wasn't president, according to almost everybody, 244 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: even the enemy, if I wasn't president, you wouldn't have 245 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: a vaccine for five years. Okay. I pushed the FDA 246 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: and companies and everybody else involved, like nobody's ever been 247 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: pushed before, and now you have it rolling out, and frankly, 248 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: they could have done it last week. They could have 249 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: even done it a week sooner, and they heard from me. 250 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: But this has been a great, a really medical mirror, 251 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: and they call it a medical miracle, and it's going 252 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: to have a tremendous impact ninety five percent effect. If 253 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: we have Moderner coming out next week, very soon, we 254 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: have Johnson and Johnson one shot vaccine coming out, all 255 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: great company effective, a medical miracle. Are you seeing a 256 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: lot of news coverage of all that encouraging stuff right now? No, 257 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: you're not, are you. It's almost like they don't want 258 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: to talk about it. They'll talk about the vaccine, but 259 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: they won't talk about the administration's role in helping the 260 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: vaccine get out there. So you have this ICU nurse 261 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: in New York who is among the very first to 262 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: get the Fizer shot, right, that's what everyone. That's that's 263 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,479 Speaker 1: what they're talking about. I don't see anything about Operation 264 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: Warp Speed. I don't see anything about the Trump administration's 265 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: unprecedented program to get this thing out there. And let 266 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: me also say that the politics around who gets the 267 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: vaccine and when are going to start to get very 268 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: nasty here right now, there's a novelty to all this. 269 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: Right now, there's a sense of, oh my gosh, look 270 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: the vaccine. Give it three or four weeks, and some 271 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: people are going to be walking around feeling just fine. 272 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: Some people are gonna walking around with no problem because 273 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: they know they're almost certain to be protected from a 274 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: possible exposure to COVID nineteen. And a lot of other 275 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: people will be walking around saying when more likely actually 276 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: stuck at home by themselves, saying when do I get 277 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: this thing? And you can already hear there are a 278 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: lot of people that are clamoring to put this out 279 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: there along along social justice lines. They say that some 280 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: groups are disperately affected by this, so they want them 281 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: to get it first by age. That certainly makes sense 282 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: based on all of the data, But there are plenty 283 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: of people who you'd look at you'd say, well, it's 284 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: more about individual living condition or uncrowded area in urban area. 285 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: It should not be about superficial characteristics that have nothing 286 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: to do with your actual will risk of getting COVID 287 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: and having a severe case of it. The politics around 288 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: that are going to get very, very tricky here in 289 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: the weeks ahead, because there are people who are going 290 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: to get COVID next in the next sixty days who 291 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: don't make it, who would have made it if they've 292 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: gotten a vaccine. And as that dawns on more and 293 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: more people, you can imagine it's going to become even 294 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: more intense. And let's just hope the supply chains and 295 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: everything hold up and that there's no big problems with 296 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: the distribution of this vaccine.

Of course, I 305 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: want to note that there is no evidence that Joe 306 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: Biden or Hunter Biden has done anything wrong. I just 307 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: want to reiterate, let's be clear for the viewers. There 308 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: is no evidence Biden did anything wrong. Well, again, because 309 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: it's important, there is no I repeat no, there is 310 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: no evidence that either Biden did anything illegal. There has 311 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: been no evidence, there was no evidence. There's no evidence. 312 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: There is no evidence there, it's not an iota of 313 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: evidence anything wrong. There's really no evidence that Joe Biden 314 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: did anything wrong. If nobody's every accused that, I mean, 315 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: there's no evidence whatsoever that Joe Biden did anything wrong. 316 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: Got that Joe Biden did nothing wrong. Hunter Biden did 317 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: nothing wrong. Right, they're delusional and they're a bunch of liars. 318 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: But what a what a symphony of frauds. Wasn't that amazing. 319 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: Here's a story today on foxnews dot com. New emails 320 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: appear to show Hunter Biden failed to report four hundred 321 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: thousand dollars in income from a shady Ukrainian firm. There's 322 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: no I didn't he did anything wrong, no evidence he 323 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: did it anything wrong. Hunter Biden is the most pure 324 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: and decent man imaginable. Yeah, the guy that got the 325 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: stripper pregnant, pretended he wasn't the dad afterwards, and he 326 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: got kicked out of the Navy for doing coke or 327 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: meth or whatever. It was. Great guy, great guy. Oh yeah, 328 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, he's you can take Hunters word to the bank. 329 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: Really trust really trustworthy, fellow. The media is disgusting. The 330 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: media is a disgrace. You know it. I know it, 331 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: and I think it's important that we all understand that 332 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: they're not going to change. In fact, they're just going 333 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: to become more aggressive under a Biden presidency. They're going 334 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: to stifle this sent They're not going to try to 335 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: win the argument anymore. They're going to prevent you from 336 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: being able to make an argument. They're gonna try to 337 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: shut down people like me who will beat them in 338 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: the argument. They won't allow it. That's going to be 339 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 1: the game. It's it's not oh, may the best, may 340 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: the best pundit or news channel or show or whatever win. 341 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: It's going to be no, No, we're on air. You're 342 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: not because the people that control the plugs and the 343 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: switches and the you know, the internet and the cable channels, 344 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: they're not letting you on that's the game they plan 345 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: on playing, full on censorship. They talked about state media 346 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: against Trump. They're a bunch of morons. There's no state 347 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: media when ninety five percent of the media opposes the 348 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: sitting president. But notice that they in a sense, and 349 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,239 Speaker 1: I know this is not comforting to hear, but they 350 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: were successful in their lives. They were successful in what 351 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: they were trying to achieve here, preventing us from figuring 352 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: out what really happened, at least in time for the election. 353 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: That's what mattered. It was all about when this would break. 354 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: It was all about who and who would find out 355 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: about this? At what point would they find out about this? Right? 356 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: And Hunter Biden was able to count on the media 357 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: to give him the kind of the kind of unbelievable, 358 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: unbelievable protection from the mainstream media that you could only 359 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: expect if you're a Democrat. That's really important to their movement. 360 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: I mean, if you didn't report four hundred thousand dollars 361 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: an income, I mean, that's that's the kind of thing 362 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: that even the irs under a Democrat administration would normally 363 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: pay attention to. But does anyone really believe does anyone 364 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: really think that Hunter Biden would face any will face 365 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: any consequences under a Biden administration for this whatsoever. No, 366 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: of course not. The people who have been lecturing you 367 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: for four years about norms and decency and democracy, about 368 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: the rule of law are the same people who lied 369 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: about Russia collusion from the beginning of the Trump presidency, 370 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: used it as a weapon against Trump and all of 371 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: his advisors and family members and everyone around him, and 372 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: now are going to completely lock down with nothing but 373 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: partisan intent, locked down anything the dj is looking at 374 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: about Hunter Biden or anything else for that matter, that 375 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: harms Democrat interests. That's their plan, That's what they're going 376 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: to do. I mean, the suppression of the Hunter Biden 377 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: media story is something that well, we should never forget. 378 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: In the same way that the attacks on Brett Kavanaugh. 379 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: The attacks on Brett Kavanaugh were a moment of clarity 380 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: about who the Democrats really are that they would lie 381 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: about somebody. There was such a lack of decency and 382 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: honor and integrity at the very top of the Democrat 383 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: Party that they would say the things they said and 384 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: present the things they did against Brett Kavanaugh, a good 385 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: man who had done nothing wrong. Not only was he 386 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: not a bad guy. He was a good guy, and 387 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: they tried to ruin him. They tried to ruin him. 388 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: No remorse about a Kamala was one of them. Don't 389 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: ever forget that. I mean, she's ruthless, utterly ruthless, a 390 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: Disgrace's a mediocrity who's playing the system, using identity politics, 391 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: using the Democrat power structure. I don't mean the Democrat 392 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: as in our democracy or whatever. I mean the Democrat Party. 393 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: Kamal is very ruthless. Indeed, but what we saw with Kavanaugh, 394 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: now you should view what's gone on here with the 395 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: media as a Kavanaugh like moment. They will, in the 396 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: weeks before a presidential election straight up lie to your 397 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: faces without a moment's hesitation. They will lie right to 398 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: your face about an issue of major national news concern. 399 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: And afterwards, when they're exposed as frauds and liars for that, 400 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: they think of themselves as heroes because their purpose is 401 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: not to inform you. Their purpose is to influence you 402 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: for the benefit of a political party, the Democrat Party. 403 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: That is what they are doing. Now it's not enough 404 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: to just point this out. We have to be very 405 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: clear that there are there are fights ahead, and I have, 406 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: you know, substantial concerns about where all this stuff is going. 407 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: All right, here is here is Stacy Abrams. This Georgia 408 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: election is weeks away. And remember the last two weeks 409 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: of December. For a lot of people, including journos, the 410 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: last two weeks of December, there's not going to be 411 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: a whole lot of focus on anything in the news cycle. 412 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,239 Speaker 1: No one's really going to pay much attention. And then 413 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're going to come back. A 414 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: lot of people come back from vacation. There's going to 415 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: be a Georgia Senate runoff for two seats. Right, Georgia 416 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: is having this runoff, two seats at play, and you 417 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: got Warnock, Leffler, Perdue Assoff. Which names are going to 418 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: come out victorious of this thing? Stacy Abrams, the make 419 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: believe governor of Georgia. It is out there rallying her 420 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: side and she's speaking with a lot of confidence about 421 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: this place. Sixteen Democrats are prepared to win this election 422 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: because this is the first runoff where we have the 423 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: level of investment and engagement that it takes to win 424 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: a runoff. We know from the numbers that we're in 425 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: a good place. One point two million absentee ballots have 426 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: been requested thus far, and just to put that into context, 427 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: one point three million or requested for all of the 428 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: general election. And of that one point two million, eighty 429 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: five thousand of those applications are from voters who did 430 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: not vote in the general election, and they are disproportionately 431 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: between the ages of eighteen and twenty nine, and disproportionately 432 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: people of color. With that signals is that there's an 433 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: enthusiasm for John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, and its signals 434 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: that we understand that we make need to make a 435 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: plan to vote and deliver this election. Look, millions of 436 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 1: you are understandably furious about where we are right now 437 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 1: in the presidential election. I understand that it all feels wrong. 438 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: Electoral College is meeting today to certify a result that 439 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: you think, in your soul, you know is just unfair. 440 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: It's wrong. The Democrats changed the election rules in bad faith. 441 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: There are hundreds of sworn affidavits alleging fraud. And there's 442 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: this seething rage that we should all have that the 443 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: media openly and aggressively stifled information about Hunter Biden. So 444 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: Joe could win. Yes, the media rigged the game, but 445 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 1: the game is not over. And I don't just mean 446 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: in the presidential election. We've got to win in Georgia. 447 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: I've actually got a piece up on bucksexton dot com 448 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: on this that you should all check out. I wrote 449 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: an editorial on it because I'm trying to make the 450 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: case to you that it is not true that we 451 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: are losing focus on the presidential fight and exposing fraud 452 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: if we also give all due attention to winning these 453 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: Georgia Senate seats. It has to happen, because what goes 454 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: on if we lose this. If we lose and they 455 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: have a Democrat majority in the Senate, well, first they'll 456 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: eliminate the Filibus or then they'll move for expanded amnesty 457 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: for illegal aliens. You know, they already have a surge 458 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: at the border going on right now. Why do you 459 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: think that is people who are focused on this issue, 460 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 1: who want to get into the country and stay here illegally. 461 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: They know you're probably never going to have a better time. 462 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: There's never going to be a better option for you 463 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: to come into the country illegally, and right before a 464 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: Bide administration, that's going to be pushing for amnesty, because 465 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: even if you're not covered by that amnesty, do you 466 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: think there'll be any real will to do deportations. No, 467 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: if you can get here, you'll be able to stay here. 468 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: So they move for eventually be legalization for everyone the 469 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: US illegally, they'll add to that statehood for DC in 470 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. Some Supreme Court packing could also happen. All 471 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: it feels like they don't need it these days. Look 472 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: at the Texas decision. Texas brought suit, many states joined 473 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: with Texas shot down by the Supreme Court. Trump is 474 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: out there tweeting about how no judge has the courage. Right, 475 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: that's what he's saying, No judge has the courage. What 476 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: did I tell you all along? And I don't like 477 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: saying things that I know are going to be frustrated 478 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: to hear, but I have to tell you the truth. 479 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: I have to tell you what I know is coming 480 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: judges all along, I had said, who's going to be 481 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: the judge who wants to be attacked by the Democrats 482 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: and the left for even giving an opening for this 483 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: to be overturned because of all the fraud. I just 484 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: don't think they have the courage That's not me saying 485 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: I don't care that they don't have the courage. That's 486 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: me saying, this is the reality that we face. And 487 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: that's what Trump is saying about these judges, include supposedly 488 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: conservative justices. They're saying, nah, we can't, we can't touch 489 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: this thing. Sorry, can't get involved. So we absolutely absolutely 490 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: need to focus in on this Georgia election and do 491 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: everything that we possibly can to make sure that the 492 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: Senate is in Republican control going into a Biden administration, 493 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: because right now it would it would take something of 494 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: a legal miracle to prevent the Biden administration from happening. 495 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: We all, we all need to know that. That's that's 496 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: where this is heading. Not saying it's over, but I'm 497 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: saying it's not looking good. We're down two touchdowns and 498 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: there's you know, a minute thirty left. That's where that's 499 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: where the situation is. And I'm gonna say this to you. 500 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: And even who tells you otherwise right now is not 501 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: being straight with you. They're not being honest with you. 502 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of telling people what they 503 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: want to hear right now, and I don't want to 504 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: be a part of that. And have our I taken 505 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: off the ball in Georgia because some people are squabbling 506 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: for whatever remnants of the Trump movement they can sort 507 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: of gather up for themselves in their eyes. I think 508 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: that's the play. There are people now who are doubling 509 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: and tripling down and how oh, don't worry. You know 510 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: the plan and we're gonna win. And there was a 511 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: there was a chance, there was a time we were 512 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: having that fight. And yes, we see it through to 513 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: the end. But anyone is telling you that it's looking 514 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: good right now is lying to you. They're lying to 515 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: you right and putting too many people on air who 516 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: are going to tell you that on their air, on 517 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: their show. There's also a dishonesty in that, right. Yeah, 518 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: I could bring endless amounts of people. Look, I think 519 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: Sean Parnell's legal challenge in Pennsylvania it is legitimate. I 520 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: think he's right, and I think he's got a shot. 521 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: That's why I put Sean on the air. But if 522 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: you're asking me how I think this is going to 523 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: go for the election overall, meaning whether or not this 524 00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: thing is pretty much over and done with. We're close, 525 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: and people get get mad at me that's fine. I 526 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: don't know why they're mad at me. I was saying 527 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: fight all along. I was saying, this is where we 528 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: need to be, dig in, do everything we can. But 529 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: at some point, you know, sometimes you fight and do 530 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: you give it everything again and you still don't end 531 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: up getting the result. That would be justice. That's life. 532 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: That's where we are. So I just rather you hear 533 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: that at this point from me than have me pretend 534 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: like everything's fine, which I would not do. And then 535 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: in January, when Biden's a week out from being sworn in, 536 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: say yeah, you know, I guess, I guess maybe it 537 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: is going to happen. You know, we should prepare now 538 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: for that possibility. Doesn't mean that we give up, but 539 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: it means we are being smart and strategic, and part 540 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: of that means winning in Georgia. All right. The response 541 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: to losing Paris to the Germans, if you're the Allies, 542 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: is not to say, let's hand them London. And that's 543 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: what giving them Georgia would be right now, a disaster. 544 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: So we continue the fight and we understand where we 545 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: are in this process. You're in the freedom mind. This 546 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast, y'all, got a twelve check, 547 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: Wall Street got four trillion in access to liquid funds, 548 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:30,959 Speaker 1: and and that to me, just structurally, Will I'm concerned. 549 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: What keeps me up at night is that it was 550 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: short term relief that was really important and really necessary, 551 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: but that the help for working people and everyday people, 552 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: as we know, drives up super fast. But what we 553 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: gave away, what we gave away to Wall Street was 554 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: so large and so structural that frankly like, that's why 555 00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: Republicans I think have not been have been, you know, 556 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: not as and why Mitch McConnell has not been in 557 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: a rush. Mitch McConnell has been in a rush. This 558 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: is complete rewriting of history from AOC who is an idiot, 559 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: but a dangerous and powerful little propagandist for the ignorant left. No, 560 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 1: Mitch is the one who has been pushing for COVID relief. 561 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: Pelosi blocked it. They can try to rewrite the history 562 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: as much as they want. It won't change what actually 563 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: happened here. Pelosi blocked it. Said no, we want more. 564 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: He brings up Wall Street. This is something we have 565 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: got to change. We have got to We've got to 566 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 1: get the public to understand this. Wall Street is dominated 567 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: by Democrats, by Lib Democrats. The Wall Street banks, Goldman 568 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: Sachs is practically a d NC pack in terms of 569 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: the way that it spends money in elections. It through 570 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: of all these big investment banks, because this is the game. 571 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: The Amazons, the Goldman Sachs, the mega corporations, the global is, 572 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: the internationalists. They are rich and getting richer, and government 573 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: policy from big government action continues to benefit them. They 574 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: like the anti competitive nature of all the endless regulation 575 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,439 Speaker 1: and the ability of government to come in and shut 576 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,720 Speaker 1: down their competitors. Look what's going on during COVID. Small 577 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: business is just getting wiped out. But Wall Street is 578 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: This is a myth. This is a fable that Wall 579 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: Street is Republican. Wall Street is absolutely not. I live 580 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: in New York City. I come from a family with 581 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: a dad who worked on Wall Street for decades. I 582 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: got brothers, I got friends that are Wall Street people 583 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 1: worked in Wall Street. Wall Street is Democrats. Okay, not all, 584 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: but it is a huge majority of the giving went 585 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden. So this is I just hate this 586 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: because somehow the perception lingers and AOC will sit there 587 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: when she's when she's trashing Wall Street. This is a 588 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: way to avoid criticism of Democrat policy and people. Yeah, 589 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: Wall Streets so bad. Oh, those rich fat cats, those 590 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,479 Speaker 1: are Democrats. Those are people on Wall Streets are writing 591 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: checks to Diane Feinstein and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi 592 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: and and you know the AOC types, even of a 593 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,280 Speaker 1: little less so they like more of the establishment Democrats, 594 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: to be fair, but they're the ones writing chest to Democrats. 595 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: I just I this drives me nuts because there's this 596 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: is all media perceptions, all media propaganda. Wall Streets a 597 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: bunch of rich, white male Republicans. That's what Wall Street 598 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: is Wall Street. You go to any of these big 599 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: banks now, they've got all the Diversity Days stuff going on, 600 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: they're all about transgender rights, they've got super progressive HR policies, 601 00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: and they're giving their funneling money, funneling money to Democrats. 602 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: Just check this is this is public record stuff. You 603 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: don't even have to dig my word very good. Check online. 604 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: You'll see who does Goldman Sachs give money to Democrats? 605 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 1: People like Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton? Who these these enormous banks. 606 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: And in some ways it's ideological because you have these 607 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: guilty conscience, rich libs who work on Wall Street and 608 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 1: they think, oh, you know, I'm I'm getting paid all 609 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: this money. What am I even really doing that's a productive, 610 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: additive function for society? Or am I just in the 611 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: extraction business? Extract from the system, position and extract, you know. 612 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 1: So a way that they like to handle with that, 613 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: A way they like to handle that is to give 614 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: money to very progressive causes and very progressive candidates. It's 615 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: it's like buying a form of social insurance. That's really 616 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: what they're doing, buying a form of social insurance. You know. 617 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,280 Speaker 1: Now they can say, oh, well, I gave to Joe Biden, 618 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: so hopefully no one is gonna, you know, mask up 619 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: and don't worry about the fact that I'm in my 620 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: ten million dollar house in the Hampton's because I gave 621 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: money to Joe Biden. This is what they do. This 622 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: is this is how they get away with this stuff. 623 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,320 Speaker 1: But they support the right candidate. They're just part of 624 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: the system. They're just part of using and leveraging where 625 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 1: they are in a system and pretending they care so 626 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: much about the poor. These these Wall Street democrats, these 627 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: fat cat hedge fund billionaires, they don't give a crap 628 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: about the poor. I mean, yeah, they'll write a check 629 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:33,800 Speaker 1: a few times of years. They can go to a 630 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: fancy gallow or something. There's a lot of that that 631 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 1: goes on in New York City too, not not really 632 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: so much anymore, but there was before COVID. But it's 633 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: it's remarkable. This, this is a lie that will not die. 634 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 1: Wall Street is dominated by Democrats. It is the ideology 635 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: now of Wall Street. You know, it's all these big 636 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 1: mega corporations or what is what's you know, pushing the 637 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 1: stock market to all time highs. There's a tremendous amount 638 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: of government policy and monetary policy that goes into how 639 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: well all this stuff works or doesn't work. And they 640 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 1: want to be at the levels of power so any 641 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 1: and just this really it really bothers me because it's 642 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: so easy. If an AOC will do this, you'll talk 643 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 1: about this, and so many other Democrats will too. They 644 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,800 Speaker 1: act like the Democrats are the party of working people. Know, 645 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: the Democrats are the party of people on welfare. That 646 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: is true, Democrats always want to increase welfare benefits, but 647 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: people who work for a living are increasingly represented by 648 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: the Trump era Republican Party and everyone seeing it and 649 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 1: that the numbers are bearing this out. You know, it's 650 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 1: people that either benefited from the system and got a 651 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 1: you know, a fancy four year degree somewhere and have 652 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,240 Speaker 1: gotten themselves into a into a place in our economy 653 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 1: where they can work from home and they're all comfortable 654 00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: and fine. Yeah, they're Democrats and they want to you know, 655 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 1: push more of a pittance, you know, they want to 656 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 1: give a little bit more charity to people who aren't working, 657 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 1: to people who need assistance. But stunning, what we see 658 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: happening here really is the lie about this will not stop. 659 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts.

And that's all 665 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: over our country and my stay to West Virginia too. 666 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 1: They're all hurting everywhere. So they're telling us that they're 667 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: going to get COVID relief out there. I don't know 668 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:50,320 Speaker 1: if that's going to happen, which is just a total 669 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: failure on the part of our elected officials, Nancy Pelosi, 670 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: the Democrats to the one who've been blocking it for months. 671 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 1: But I mean, come on, now, you know we've got 672 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: a inauguration day coming up here, You've got a new 673 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:11,400 Speaker 1: administration likely to be in charge very soon. Can we 674 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,280 Speaker 1: please please do what is necessary to help the American 675 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 1: people right now during this pandemic and we just get 676 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 1: something here out to people who have had their businesses 677 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 1: shut down, who have been told that they have no 678 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: choice in the matter, and now they can't pay their bills, 679 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,399 Speaker 1: and now they're perhaps either living on credit or they've 680 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 1: they've run out of whatever the savings they've had, They've 681 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: had to lay off employees. And this is because of 682 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 1: government mandates. It's not because of the market. It's not 683 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,919 Speaker 1: because of a downturner. And this is the government saying, 684 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 1: and I think unnecessarily, saying, your restaurant, your bar, cannot 685 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 1: be open anymore. You know, isn't it remarkable we have 686 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 1: all these restrictions that are put in place at different times, 687 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: but then when cases go up, it's like we are 688 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 1: the game all of a sudden is Okay, cases have 689 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: gone up and all the stuff that we were doing 690 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: was apparently not enough. Well, then how well could it 691 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,799 Speaker 1: possibly have been working. I never get an answer from 692 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: anybody on this one. But if if we're masking and 693 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,800 Speaker 1: social distancing and limiting the number of people in these establishments, 694 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 1: we're doing all those things, then case number in general, 695 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: not even from that place or from that industry, goes up. 696 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: They say, sorry, we gotta lock it down anyway. So 697 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: is that an admission that all those other things don't 698 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,959 Speaker 1: really work? What does work mean? If it's a five 699 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 1: percent reduction and transmission for all that crap, is it 700 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: still worth it or is it more like a fifty 701 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,759 Speaker 1: percent reduction? They have no idea. We're making decisions all 702 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,799 Speaker 1: the time that they say are based on data. I mean, 703 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 1: I can tell you this, if I had the opportunity 704 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: to question doctor Fauci, If I got to sit in 705 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 1: a senator's chair for a second, or sit as a 706 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: member of Congress, and they just give me as their 707 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,439 Speaker 1: proxy let me question doctor Fauci, the whole thing would 708 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 1: fall apart. You realize what a what a preposterous and 709 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 1: absurd situation we're all in now At these people who 710 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 1: keep saying that it's the data, and then you ask 711 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 1: them you find out there's no data behind this. They 712 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 1: have no idea. There's making up as they go along, 713 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 1: a lot of it. I mean, yeah, there's a lot 714 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,399 Speaker 1: of cases and a lot of deaths right now, there's 715 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,840 Speaker 1: that data. But in terms of the transmission risk, in 716 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,760 Speaker 1: terms of the reduction you get from these different choices, 717 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: absolutely not. I have no no idea. Now now we 718 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: have to talk about a little bit more of this, 719 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 1: the legal challenges to the election. I don't want to 720 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 1: avoid this. First of all. I I don't understand how 721 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,920 Speaker 1: anyone could see this as anything other than the system 722 00:43:54,080 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: operating all within the guidelines, the rules, the constitutional, constitutional 723 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 1: limitations and demands. Here, everything is proceeding exactly on schedule. 724 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: There's nothing the Trump team or anyone in favor of 725 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: Trump has done that is a break in the rules. 726 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: There's no abuse in power here. They're saying that they 727 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 1: have legal theories that go into a very complicated, very 728 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 1: They go to a very complicated, very difficult year here 729 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 1: in what's gone on with the law, and they're bringing 730 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 1: these challenges and for some reason, Republicans like Chris Christie 731 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 1: seem to be out there getting ahead of all this, 732 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: as if we need to hear from them right now, 733 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,319 Speaker 1: as if they have to be a smug and dismissive 734 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,239 Speaker 1: about all of this. I mean, here he is play nine. 735 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,399 Speaker 1: This is why I think the Republican Party will move 736 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 1: on and move on briskly after the inauguration, because there's 737 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: a lot of good things to move on from. You know, 738 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 1: picked up fourteenth seats in the House appears, I think, 739 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: totally lose one seat in the Senate ultimately and keep control. 740 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 1: Flip to state legislatures, flip the only governorship that was 741 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: flipped on election night. Except for the very top of 742 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,400 Speaker 1: the ticket. The Republican Party had a great night on 743 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: election night. Now a Sadia, I was disappointed that the 744 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 1: president lost, and I understand the disappointment the party amongst 745 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 1: some people for losing that election, but we need to 746 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,359 Speaker 1: face the facts. Elections have consequences, and in the same way, 747 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,879 Speaker 1: Democrats were horribly disappointed by Donald Trump's victory four years 748 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 1: ago over Hillary Clinton in what was actually a closer 749 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,840 Speaker 1: election than this one from a popular vote perspective, in 750 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 1: the same margin from an electoral college perspective, Republicans now 751 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 1: need to say thank you, mister president, for your service, 752 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:46,839 Speaker 1: thank you for the good things you did while you're 753 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 1: in office that we agree with, and we now need 754 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 1: to move on. What does that mean? Why do we 755 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:57,200 Speaker 1: have to say those things? Chris Christie doesn't Chris Christie 756 00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,799 Speaker 1: doesn't have some insight into the election process or these 757 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,400 Speaker 1: legal challenges that the rest of us don't. So far, 758 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: they haven't worked. I mean, we can all observe the reality. 759 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 1: We can all see what's happening. So far, Juliani's team 760 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 1: has not been able to get any victories. That's that 761 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 1: is true. That is I'm these are facts, you know, 762 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,359 Speaker 1: And we're not going to become CNN here on the right. 763 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,120 Speaker 1: We're not going to live in a delusion and lie 764 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 1: to people for ratings or for anything else. But there's 765 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 1: also some time left here. There are these legal challenges 766 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 1: that are continuing. Let's see what happens if they're all 767 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:37,800 Speaker 1: so silly, if they're also irrelevant or baseless. Fine, people 768 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,040 Speaker 1: bring lawsuits and they get shot down all the time. 769 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 1: The courts, in a sense are are you know, a 770 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,279 Speaker 1: purification system for legal ideas. Now, they don't always get 771 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,439 Speaker 1: it right either, which we have to also keep in mind. 772 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,840 Speaker 1: But so you bring it forward, you say this is 773 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,719 Speaker 1: our legal theory, and if it is incorrect or if 774 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 1: it doesn't work, then you you go beyond that, you 775 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 1: move beyond it. That's where we are. We will accept 776 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: the results of this election if in fact, we get 777 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 1: through every everything that we've got and the result is 778 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 1: the result. There's no there is no alternative that people 779 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 1: that are people that are out there are saying that 780 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 1: we're going to come up with some you know, Texas 781 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 1: is going to become its own state or something else. 782 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,840 Speaker 1: They're just appealing to emotion, and I think at some 783 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 1: levels it becomes disrespectful of conservatives, conservative audiences and the 784 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,359 Speaker 1: people that are on our side politically to tell them 785 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,239 Speaker 1: what you know is because there's a lot of that 786 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:35,680 Speaker 1: going on right now. People are saying what they know 787 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,839 Speaker 1: isn't true, but they know that the audience wants to hear, 788 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 1: and they hope that that that feeling will just translate 789 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,359 Speaker 1: later on when the when the people that are saying 790 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: things right now that maybe aren't not going to Chris 791 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,320 Speaker 1: Christy length of making fun of the lassage andything that 792 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 1: that that's absurd, But I really believe that I have 793 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,280 Speaker 1: an obligation to tell you that. You know, our challenge 794 00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:00,120 Speaker 1: so far has not gone well. Our legal challenge just 795 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 1: have not gone well for this election. Do I think 796 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 1: Do I know that there were irregularities and cheating this election? Absolutely? 797 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,840 Speaker 1: Do I know that this stinks to high heaven and 798 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,400 Speaker 1: it's it's just a disgrace and it feels like this 799 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: whole thing was just wrong. Yes, But do I also 800 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 1: know that there's no alternative system that we have in 801 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: place to do something other than what we're doing right now, 802 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 1: and that at the end of it we may actually lose. Yes. Yes, 803 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 1: And I've known this for a while now, and I've 804 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 1: tried to stay back. You know, people who got mad 805 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 1: at me because I say, ah, well, you know, I 806 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,000 Speaker 1: think I said on Sarah Carter's podcast a couple of 807 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 1: weeks ago, we got about a five or five to 808 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,480 Speaker 1: ten percent chance of really turning this thing around and 809 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 1: sending it to the States or having a different again 810 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 1: legal process where that could occur. And I got a 811 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 1: lot of heat for that. That was just honest, and 812 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,080 Speaker 1: I was right. I mean, if you're doing the odds, 813 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,279 Speaker 1: if you look at this, you look at the number 814 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,720 Speaker 1: of legal cases, the number of states, the margin of victory. 815 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 1: It's a long shot. And even the people involved in 816 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 1: the legal challenge, I'll tell you, they'll they'll, they'll, they'll 817 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,560 Speaker 1: tell you it's a long shot behind closed doors. So 818 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 1: you know. Now, now it's a question of how we 819 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,279 Speaker 1: process this and how we get ready for the fight 820 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 1: going forward as this makes its way, as this continues 821 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:22,000 Speaker 1: on to the final stages here, I mean, otherwise, someone 822 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:23,920 Speaker 1: tell me what they really think the alternative is going 823 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 1: to be. There's not going to be a secession movement. 824 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,560 Speaker 1: It's not going to happen. There's not going to be 825 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,400 Speaker 1: a rejection of our entire process. We're not going to 826 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:37,480 Speaker 1: all move to you know, Polynesia. Okay, it's not going 827 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 1: to happen. So let's look at what is happening, and 828 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:47,640 Speaker 1: let's fight these cheaters and scoundrels and statists and authoritarians 829 00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 1: together with everything we've got. Let's win in Georgia. Don't 830 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 1: need to be you know, snide about I mean, this 831 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,399 Speaker 1: is the CLI clip I actually meant to play. Here's 832 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 1: Chris Christy just being kind of asked you about this 833 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,439 Speaker 1: whole thing. Plate ten, Well, listen, the legal theory put 834 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 1: forward by his legal team and by the President is 835 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 1: an absurdity. And the reason why the Supreme Court didn't 836 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: taken is because it's an absurd idea to think that 837 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,279 Speaker 1: any state or any number of states, no matter how 838 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 1: good they are, can challenge in other state's right to 839 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,439 Speaker 1: run the election as they see fit. And also, there's 840 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,759 Speaker 1: no evidence, as I've been saying since election night, show 841 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 1: us the evidence. And what's gotten even worse, though, Martha, 842 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:34,919 Speaker 1: I think, is the attacks by the President on good, hardworking, 843 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 1: decent Republican governors. Good hardworking, decent Republican governors. Look, there's 844 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,840 Speaker 1: no need to say that the legal theory is absurd. 845 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,520 Speaker 1: There's a need to track down everything we're doing here, 846 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 1: look at everything that's going on, and come to a 847 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,640 Speaker 1: final determination about where we are and what we can do. 848 00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:01,840 Speaker 1: At this stage, it's I'm I'm as as upset about 849 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,239 Speaker 1: this as anybody else. It's it's a kick in the face, 850 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,799 Speaker 1: and we're again. I think that the Champarnell case, maybe 851 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:16,200 Speaker 1: maybe that is the legal miracle that sets all this right, 852 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,760 Speaker 1: or at least gets that going. Maybe we can finally 853 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:24,360 Speaker 1: prove in a way that a court will uphold that 854 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,840 Speaker 1: dominion voting systems are problematic or are too easy to 855 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:33,640 Speaker 1: be messed with. But in the meantime, let's all just 856 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 1: band together. We know what we're fighting for, we know 857 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 1: what our team's all about, and we will we will 858 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 1: get through this. We will get through this, and we 859 00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,480 Speaker 1: will get to bigger victories in the future. It's going 860 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:51,439 Speaker 1: to happen. Keep the faith you're in the Freedom Hunt. 861 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Indoor dining 862 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: in n y See shut down. It's likely to happen 863 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:06,080 Speaker 1: in other places across the country as well. I've got 864 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 1: my friend Joe Barelli, who is a city councilman here 865 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,200 Speaker 1: in New York City and a rare Republican on the 866 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 1: New York City Council, joining us to talk about how 867 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 1: this is going. Joe, great to have you on. Always 868 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,600 Speaker 1: good to be here. I was looking right now, my friend. 869 00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I saw of the weekend these outdoor structures 870 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 1: that they've built in New York City. I know they 871 00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,400 Speaker 1: have them in other places too. Are the outdoor but 872 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:33,160 Speaker 1: kind of indoor structure is gonna still be able to operate, 873 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,759 Speaker 1: But normal interior restaurant dining is shutdown? Is that the 874 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:42,560 Speaker 1: way this works, Yeah, which makes sense. So the outdoor, indoor, inside, outside, 875 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,279 Speaker 1: you can still do that, with the exception of the 876 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: Northeastern that's going to blow in here over the next 877 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,239 Speaker 1: few days, so even that'll be out the window for 878 00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 1: these poor people who are struggling with small business restaurants 879 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 1: in New York City. But you are a history guy, 880 00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,880 Speaker 1: and if we played a little trivia right now, I 881 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,400 Speaker 1: would ask you to look back in all your knowledge 882 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 1: to find one example of a president or governor or 883 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,719 Speaker 1: mayor who said we're going to enact a policy which 884 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,400 Speaker 1: is financially harmful to his own or her own citizens, 885 00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:18,799 Speaker 1: and then simultaneously tout statistics that prove that policy will 886 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,279 Speaker 1: be ineffective at any rate. And that's what we had 887 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,800 Speaker 1: on Friday with Governor Cuomo. He said, we're shutting down dining. 888 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,279 Speaker 1: At the same time he told us the statistics show 889 00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 1: dining is not causing nearly any COVID around New York 890 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,840 Speaker 1: State or New York City. That's amazing to me because 891 00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,960 Speaker 1: when we look at this now, the data seems to 892 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 1: suggest that the transmission is mostly happening in homes. But 893 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,160 Speaker 1: are they not able to figure out well, if it's 894 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 1: not really happening in restaurants and dining, and most of 895 00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 1: the spread as aggregate numbers goes in the home. Where 896 00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,040 Speaker 1: is the initials spread to the you know, the let's 897 00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,359 Speaker 1: say head of household or whoever brings it into the home. 898 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Yeah? I mean I 899 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,960 Speaker 1: think this contact tracing idea has been flawed from from 900 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 1: the very beginning. I mean, this was the reason given 901 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 1: that as why we couldn't open up restaurants and dining 902 00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,200 Speaker 1: and gyms, etc. In the first place. And then when 903 00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,640 Speaker 1: we finally get the data, we're not really learning all 904 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,239 Speaker 1: that much. In fact, we're learning very little. Right. If 905 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,640 Speaker 1: there was some data to indicate that, you know, twenty 906 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 1: five thirty forty percent of cases we're coming from restaurants, 907 00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:29,960 Speaker 1: we could probably act on that. We could probably all 908 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,320 Speaker 1: agree that maybe we do have to take some measures 909 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,759 Speaker 1: and make some considerations. But we're just not the fact 910 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,239 Speaker 1: that we're just saying seventy something percent are coming from 911 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,880 Speaker 1: the home where people can do whatever they want, and 912 00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,520 Speaker 1: then leaving it up to God to do the rest. 913 00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 1: It's unfair how that translates into well, we might have 914 00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,239 Speaker 1: to have another shutdown of restaurant dining gyms, etc. Where 915 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 1: are we on gyms at NYC, because that is one 916 00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 1: If they shut down the gyms, I don't know, man, 917 00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be out there protesting in the northeaster or 918 00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 1: in the streets, because to me, that just means everyone 919 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:05,000 Speaker 1: is more depressed, less healthy. And they've had almost no 920 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: spread in Jim's too, which might be a shock to people. 921 00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,080 Speaker 1: But it's funny you asked, I was about to flex 922 00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,960 Speaker 1: for you in my athletic wear today. So Jims were 923 00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:17,080 Speaker 1: allowed to reopen on Monday. They were closed the week prior, 924 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,080 Speaker 1: and now the Mayor and governor, though announced that New 925 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 1: York City might have to go to a complete lockdown 926 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 1: soon so that those would once again be closed. So 927 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 1: if you're following along and you get the impression that 928 00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,239 Speaker 1: I really couldn't even tell you whether jim will be 929 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,840 Speaker 1: open in another week or two, it's because even I, 930 00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,239 Speaker 1: as an elected official in New York City, can not 931 00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,960 Speaker 1: even fathom whether Jim's will be opened a week from today, 932 00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,279 Speaker 1: but they're open today. Who are the people that are 933 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,880 Speaker 1: supposed to be the experts that are making these decisions, 934 00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 1: or rather that are that are pushing these decisions? You know, 935 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,320 Speaker 1: the advisors at the local level, because I feel like 936 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 1: they've gotten a lot wrong. Joe. No, it's it's the governor. 937 00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 1: It's the governor, and it's politics. It's it's not necessarily 938 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:02,200 Speaker 1: the health people. They're just the rubber stamps. Look, I mean, 939 00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,960 Speaker 1: we have indoor dining clothes now in Manhattan. Manhattan has 940 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 1: a positivity rate of two point five percent. The statewide 941 00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,680 Speaker 1: positivity rate is five percent, meaning that the rate in 942 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,120 Speaker 1: Manhattan is half that of everywhere else in the state, 943 00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:19,640 Speaker 1: meaning it's double as good. To mince the numbers, and 944 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,800 Speaker 1: yet Manhattan will have closed indoor dining, but Chemung County 945 00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,719 Speaker 1: in upstate New York will allow indoor dining where coronavirus 946 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 1: is at least according to their data. Running more rampant, Joe, 947 00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,440 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen? We all got about a minute. But 948 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,359 Speaker 1: what's going to happen to small businesses in this city 949 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,040 Speaker 1: is is there going to be some bailout program for them? No? 950 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,800 Speaker 1: I mean the governor could tomorrow authorize a deferment, or 951 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:47,400 Speaker 1: an elimination of the state's quarterly income tax payments that 952 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:51,320 Speaker 1: businesses are required to remit. And that amounts to you know, 953 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,640 Speaker 1: just eight percent of what their register would be over 954 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,880 Speaker 1: the past three months. But that that that's a grant, 955 00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:58,960 Speaker 1: I mean treated as a grant. Give these people back 956 00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,040 Speaker 1: their money them hold on to it and let them 957 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,719 Speaker 1: pay their employees, let them pay the rent, whatever they 958 00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,239 Speaker 1: got to do, so that hopefully in quarters one, two, three, 959 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,560 Speaker 1: and four of twenty twenty one, they're still in business 960 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,239 Speaker 1: to keep paying the taxes. I'm worried that a lot 961 00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,680 Speaker 1: of my favorite places and that are you know, a 962 00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,520 Speaker 1: big reason why people live in New York City is 963 00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,080 Speaker 1: because of that. You know, the bar where you met 964 00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:22,160 Speaker 1: your fiance, the restaurant where you celebrated your first promotion. 965 00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:23,960 Speaker 1: You know, you choose. It's such a part of our 966 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 1: culture and our life here. I think I think they're 967 00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,200 Speaker 1: just going to be decimated. I think it's going to 968 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,360 Speaker 1: be a blood bath for these small businesses. And that's 969 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:35,480 Speaker 1: just it's it's really sad. But well, we'll keep the faith. Joe, 970 00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,600 Speaker 1: hopefully we got better days ahead. Joe Barelli of the 971 00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,080 Speaker 1: New York City Council. Joe, thanks for joining me and 972 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 1: I always good to talk to you YouTube. Thank you 973 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 1: thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember 974 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,640 Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever 975 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,920 Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. There's a case to be name 976 00:57:56,040 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 1: that this will actually strengthen Trump and his base. And 977 00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 1: here's why. At least for now, the president has had 978 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 1: some constraints on him as president. He can't do things 979 00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:12,360 Speaker 1: that are totally off the charts. There are still people 980 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 1: and lawyers around him who tell him, you can't do that, sir, 981 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,880 Speaker 1: you can't fire this guy. You shouldn't do that when 982 00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 1: he leaves. And if he's right about creating his own 983 00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:24,080 Speaker 1: media empire and a digital platform and declaring simultaneously that 984 00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,240 Speaker 1: he's the candidate in twenty twenty four, what you now 985 00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:31,880 Speaker 1: have is a totally unchecked actor all over the media 986 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,640 Speaker 1: with seventy million votes of people who will will follow 987 00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:39,440 Speaker 1: him and you know, one hundred million or whatever he's 988 00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 1: got on Twitter following him. He becomes unchecked and his 989 00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 1: people in the eyes of his base, he becomes the hero, 990 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,560 Speaker 1: the wrong hero who must be avenged. You know this, 991 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,280 Speaker 1: this outrage must be avenged. He's our guy. And so 992 00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 1: add to it the qan on folks who have been 993 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 1: elected to Congress, right, and you can see a recipe 994 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 1: where this doesn't go way, this lenacy becomes embedded in 995 00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:08,280 Speaker 1: our society and our culture. There you have a Russia 996 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:12,920 Speaker 1: collusion truther who was a former senior FBI guy. I 997 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,000 Speaker 1: think he was the deputy assistant or something. I mean, 998 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,120 Speaker 1: he was some ord you know, deputy director. I don't know, 999 00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,400 Speaker 1: as some senior FBI title. Who knows he was a 1000 00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,960 Speaker 1: senior guy at the FBI, who's telling you that you 1001 00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,040 Speaker 1: need to be on guard, you need to be careful 1002 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,880 Speaker 1: because there could be this whole narrative out there of 1003 00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,480 Speaker 1: a stolen election and that Trump, even if he's not president, 1004 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:36,439 Speaker 1: will be dangerous. And you know, I think that they're 1005 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:40,200 Speaker 1: forgetting that we all went through. We all went through 1006 00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:43,800 Speaker 1: three years a four years rather of Russia collusion, lies 1007 00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:48,920 Speaker 1: and attacks and smears, And yeah, yeah, they're gonna have 1008 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,240 Speaker 1: a really tough time dealing with a Donald Trump if 1009 00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:55,320 Speaker 1: he's not president. They're gonna have a difficult time fighting 1010 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 1: through the way that Trump and his movement will be 1011 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 1: able to be a problem for their narrative. But beyond that, 1012 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,000 Speaker 1: I also note that we're all supposed to be so worried. 1013 01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 1: We were worried he wasn't going to accept the lass. 1014 01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,040 Speaker 1: Now you got this, this guy's moron figure you'd see. 1015 01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he goes in MSNBC. The guy's a complete jackass. 1016 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:18,840 Speaker 1: It really, the FBI and the CIA brands are irrevocably 1017 01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:23,480 Speaker 1: or irrevocably sorry, but the FBI and CI brands are 1018 01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:29,040 Speaker 1: deeply damaged as a result of what's going on here, 1019 01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:34,240 Speaker 1: damaged beyond repair. I think, and I'm somebody who you know, 1020 01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,280 Speaker 1: i'd like to think the CIA is well regarded. It's 1021 01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,520 Speaker 1: it's really not anymore because of these senior officials from 1022 01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:42,000 Speaker 1: these agencies who go out and act like partisan morons. 1023 01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 1: But you know, there was violence this weekend. This guy's 1024 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,480 Speaker 1: so worried about what's gonna happen. Violence this weekend, more 1025 01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:53,320 Speaker 1: Biden voters, Democrats, Antifa attacking Trump supporters in DC. It's 1026 01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,360 Speaker 1: not covered in the media. It doesn't even get a mention. 1027 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:57,840 Speaker 1: The lunacy of the left that's going on in Seattle 1028 01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:59,960 Speaker 1: right now and in Portland and and DC over the weekend, 1029 01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,160 Speaker 1: and they don't even think of it as a news story. 1030 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they really are like the Soviet media. You know, 1031 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,920 Speaker 1: they're Pravda circa nineteen fifty eight or something. I mean 1032 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,920 Speaker 1: it's appalling what they're willing to lie about and cover up. 1033 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,440 Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton 1034 01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:27,600 Speaker 1: Show podcast. How does China influence our politics? We heard 1035 01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,720 Speaker 1: so much about Russian influence the election in twenty sixteen. 1036 01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 1: It was greatly exaggerated, as you know, by the media 1037 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,320 Speaker 1: because they used it as a weapon against Trump. But 1038 01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:40,800 Speaker 1: now we're starting to wake up to the reality of pervasive, widespread, 1039 01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:46,760 Speaker 1: and incredibly powerful Chinese Communist Party influence operations, and they're 1040 01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:50,880 Speaker 1: following our politics closely and trying to direct political outcomes 1041 01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:52,840 Speaker 1: in this country. I've got someone joining now who could 1042 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 1: speak very much to this issue. Stephen Yates is with 1043 01:01:56,320 --> 01:02:00,320 Speaker 1: us now. He is the principle of DC International Advisory 1044 01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:04,960 Speaker 1: and he's formerly Deputy National Security Advisor to Vice President 1045 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,760 Speaker 1: Dick Cheney and the Bush administration. Steve great to have you. 1046 01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 1: Thank you, Buckets one will to join you. And Steve 1047 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 1: is also a Mandarin speaker, so he's been handling this 1048 01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,480 Speaker 1: issue and looking at it for a very long time. Stephen, 1049 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,040 Speaker 1: how does China and walk us through this? I mean, 1050 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,800 Speaker 1: give us a kind of overview brief of what we're 1051 01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:28,600 Speaker 1: seeing now and how China in recent years has tried 1052 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:32,760 Speaker 1: to influence American politics. Well, Buck, I'll give a quick 1053 01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,120 Speaker 1: version of it. This is something that's been going on 1054 01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:39,920 Speaker 1: a long time. It's escalated, it's become more sophisticated, and 1055 01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:45,440 Speaker 1: it's been technologized, and all the weapons are at the 1056 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,479 Speaker 1: hands of the Communist Party of China at this point. 1057 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:52,240 Speaker 1: But if people might remember, but it seems ancient history 1058 01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,760 Speaker 1: that there are influence operations that hit the public in 1059 01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:58,440 Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties, there are fundraising scandals that came up 1060 01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:03,120 Speaker 1: during the Clinton administration. Congress had a full, full scale 1061 01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,800 Speaker 1: national security report done under the leadership of Chris Cox that, 1062 01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,240 Speaker 1: among other things, gave warning things about this. But the 1063 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:14,000 Speaker 1: Chinese used to use access to their markets as leverage 1064 01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:18,240 Speaker 1: to try to get more favorable policies from Americas. So 1065 01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:22,280 Speaker 1: the old argument was China's developing country. We give them 1066 01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,440 Speaker 1: a break here and there and treat them like a 1067 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,760 Speaker 1: developing country, sort of like a kid at the kid's table, 1068 01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:31,120 Speaker 1: but with the potential to come to the big tables. 1069 01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,440 Speaker 1: Let's give them a break and go ahead and give 1070 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,720 Speaker 1: them special access, and they'll grow into their role of 1071 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,360 Speaker 1: being a responsible partner of ours. Over time, they've gone 1072 01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:43,560 Speaker 1: from just giving money to campaigns, which got them in 1073 01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:47,280 Speaker 1: trouble in the nineteen nineties. So then they found out, well, 1074 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,640 Speaker 1: what if we work with churches and chambers of commerce, 1075 01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,760 Speaker 1: in other words, let's influence the influencers. And it got 1076 01:03:55,560 --> 01:04:01,240 Speaker 1: from corporate boardrooms to evangelical associations, a Catholic church itself, 1077 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 1: other kinds of civic organizations, whether it's sister cities. They 1078 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:12,560 Speaker 1: just spanded this this this outreach effort, and they completely 1079 01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:16,800 Speaker 1: co opted a lot of our major universities. So universities 1080 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 1: are businesses. I think that they should be treated more 1081 01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:24,680 Speaker 1: like businesses if education is only a small fraction of 1082 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:28,560 Speaker 1: their revenue and business model. And what they've done is 1083 01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,840 Speaker 1: they make it so that foreign exchange students, research programs 1084 01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:35,360 Speaker 1: are completely dependent on the good graces of the Communist 1085 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,120 Speaker 1: Party of China to have all of this money that 1086 01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:42,160 Speaker 1: they that they live on. So they become too big 1087 01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:45,480 Speaker 1: to fail in a way that you can't criticize China. 1088 01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:49,480 Speaker 1: We can't question government policy towards China, or they'll pull 1089 01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,160 Speaker 1: the red carpet out from under our feed. So that 1090 01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:56,400 Speaker 1: that's been growing over decades. What's much much more pronounced 1091 01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:03,000 Speaker 1: now is their role in big tech, big entertainment, big sports, 1092 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:07,720 Speaker 1: all other elements of the culture War. They seem to 1093 01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:11,240 Speaker 1: have snuck in and taken a monopoly control over just 1094 01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,160 Speaker 1: in recent years. Speaking at Steve Yates, he is the 1095 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:19,280 Speaker 1: CEO of DC International Advisory and a former senior national 1096 01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:24,120 Speaker 1: security official under the Bush administration. Steven tell us about 1097 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:28,200 Speaker 1: you mentioned the big tech influence, and we're already seeing 1098 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,280 Speaker 1: a lot of problems on the right from American big 1099 01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:35,720 Speaker 1: tech companies involved in censorship. How does China try to 1100 01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:41,200 Speaker 1: leverage big tech to direct American politics or get involved 1101 01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,040 Speaker 1: in our political conversations. Well, in some ways it's too 1102 01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:49,360 Speaker 1: easy for them. If you want the greatest freedom free 1103 01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:54,600 Speaker 1: zone to test facial recognition, artificial intelligence, ways to monitor 1104 01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:58,520 Speaker 1: and control and influence people, China is the greatest sort 1105 01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:01,520 Speaker 1: of experimental farm you could go to to try to 1106 01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:04,720 Speaker 1: figure out how applied technology you can be used to 1107 01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,720 Speaker 1: manipulate and control people. So, if you're in the business 1108 01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:11,480 Speaker 1: of doing that in advertising, you might have a perverse 1109 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,680 Speaker 1: interest in trying to cooperate with China. But the Chinese 1110 01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,280 Speaker 1: have all kinds of tentacles back in they can do 1111 01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 1: it by direct investment. They can do it by way 1112 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,960 Speaker 1: of engineers that are exceedingly well trained but willing to 1113 01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,480 Speaker 1: work at a slightly lower rate. And even if we 1114 01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:28,840 Speaker 1: just look at recent controversies about who are the fact 1115 01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,440 Speaker 1: checkers in big tech today that are determining that a 1116 01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 1: warning label needs to go onto the at real Donald 1117 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:39,200 Speaker 1: Trump account, in many cases those are farmed out to 1118 01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:44,840 Speaker 1: Chinese fact checker farms. And so this is they're tied 1119 01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,000 Speaker 1: in in so many different ways that people wouldn't even 1120 01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:50,680 Speaker 1: think about it. You're telling me, you're telling me that 1121 01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:54,360 Speaker 1: some of the some of the fact checking of American 1122 01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,800 Speaker 1: because I've been fact checking, I mean I've I've personally 1123 01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,040 Speaker 1: been subjected to this in the last few weeks, some 1124 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,240 Speaker 1: of the fact check and accompanying censorship that's happening in 1125 01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:08,080 Speaker 1: America around American tech companies, preventing Americans from sharing ideas. 1126 01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:12,680 Speaker 1: We're being fact checked by Chinese, by Chinese people in 1127 01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,760 Speaker 1: Chinese artificial intelligence. It's been outsourced. I mean, the scale 1128 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,440 Speaker 1: of the operation to try to monitor the amount of 1129 01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:25,280 Speaker 1: traffic as we would say, say Twitter, that's bigger than 1130 01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:29,040 Speaker 1: most American companies can really reasonably do. And plus we're 1131 01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,640 Speaker 1: talking about international traffic. Think can bounce all over the 1132 01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:35,280 Speaker 1: place and still be about the American election or political process. 1133 01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:39,520 Speaker 1: And so the Chinese Communist Party and they're they're they're 1134 01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:43,800 Speaker 1: invested outfits. They make themselves available to help out, you know, 1135 01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:47,320 Speaker 1: when needed on things like this. But very very very 1136 01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:50,360 Speaker 1: very plausibly, you or anyone else that has a sizable 1137 01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,960 Speaker 1: audience has been fact checked by someone who's not even 1138 01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:57,280 Speaker 1: an American. Oh my gosh, almost makes me think that 1139 01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:00,840 Speaker 1: it'd be better to have your LIB MS NBC watchers. 1140 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:02,880 Speaker 1: At least at least they feel like there might be 1141 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,800 Speaker 1: some eventual accountability for what they're doing. But if you're 1142 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 1: talking about outsourcing the stuff to China, Yance, you could 1143 01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,840 Speaker 1: cross paths with them, Yeah, exactly. At least I could 1144 01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:13,040 Speaker 1: find out what the outfit is and maybe try to 1145 01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 1: get some redress or Speaking of Steve Yates, he is 1146 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,799 Speaker 1: the CEO of DC International Advisor. He's a China policy expert. 1147 01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:25,000 Speaker 1: Steve tell everyone listening this about the role that the 1148 01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:29,040 Speaker 1: relationship and role that China has to the US agricultural 1149 01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,840 Speaker 1: industry and how they've tried to leverage that in recent years. 1150 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,000 Speaker 1: And you have some particular knowledge of this as a 1151 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,760 Speaker 1: guy who ran for lieutenant governor in Idaho. Yeah. Well, 1152 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,760 Speaker 1: one of the more famous examples on the presidential level 1153 01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,960 Speaker 1: has been the influence they tried to exert in Iowa. 1154 01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,880 Speaker 1: And so there has been a former governor of Iowa 1155 01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:53,880 Speaker 1: that was the President Trump's ambassador to China, Branstead. And 1156 01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:59,800 Speaker 1: so the Chinese would would offer up access to their 1157 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:04,040 Speaker 1: consumers for all of our wonderful farm products. And if 1158 01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:06,799 Speaker 1: they took kind of a controlling share of say korn 1159 01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 1: in one state, or wheat in another, or hay in 1160 01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:17,160 Speaker 1: other places, they can have tremendous political impact by saying whoa, whoa, 1161 01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 1: don't talk about going to Taiwan, or don't support your 1162 01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:25,559 Speaker 1: elected members on these tough on China policies, or I'm 1163 01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,320 Speaker 1: so sorry, we might not be able to buy the 1164 01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:31,960 Speaker 1: next billion dollars worth of your product for the coming season. 1165 01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,080 Speaker 1: So sorry. So they've been able to exercise that influence 1166 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,360 Speaker 1: for me personally in a state of Idaho, there's a 1167 01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,880 Speaker 1: lot of exports that go to China, but it's people 1168 01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:45,080 Speaker 1: who then associate with the Chinese or use the China 1169 01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:49,160 Speaker 1: angle that can attack you. And so since I have 1170 01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:51,519 Speaker 1: a name in Chinese and people have known me through 1171 01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:55,320 Speaker 1: the media in Chinese language. A whole bunch of fake 1172 01:09:55,360 --> 01:10:00,320 Speaker 1: accounts can start sending criticisms, making fake videos, and they 1173 01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:03,280 Speaker 1: get picked up in the American press, and they don't know, 1174 01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:05,439 Speaker 1: you know, we don't have sufficient fact checkers in some 1175 01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:07,800 Speaker 1: part of rural America, and they don't know what's going on. 1176 01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 1: They say, I'm an agent of China, And anyone who's 1177 01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,599 Speaker 1: ever known me from the nineteen nineties until now, there 1178 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,040 Speaker 1: probably isn't anyone who has a longer record of being 1179 01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,240 Speaker 1: a pain in the backside of the Communist Party than 1180 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,320 Speaker 1: I have. But it just takes a few fake accounts 1181 01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,240 Speaker 1: and build a fake audience, and that Twitter farm goes, 1182 01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:27,720 Speaker 1: and the Facebook farm goes, and it looks like there's 1183 01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,800 Speaker 1: hundreds of people that don't like this mister Yates from 1184 01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:34,560 Speaker 1: Idaho because he's tough on China. Stephen, what should we 1185 01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:40,280 Speaker 1: do about this? Do you think that there's a recognition 1186 01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:45,679 Speaker 1: of how important powerful and nefarious Chinese influence is Chinese 1187 01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,560 Speaker 1: Communist Party influences in the United States that there is 1188 01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:52,400 Speaker 1: enough willingness to do something. And if that is the case, 1189 01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:56,439 Speaker 1: and I'm emphasizing if what should be done well, I 1190 01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,559 Speaker 1: think the single most potent force we have in America 1191 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,920 Speaker 1: right now is the Trump movement. It's something that can 1192 01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:09,040 Speaker 1: earn coverage, it can influence people who are active in 1193 01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:11,280 Speaker 1: multiple states, and that's what it's going to take. It's 1194 01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:13,840 Speaker 1: going to take things in state legislatures in addition to 1195 01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,680 Speaker 1: Congress and the federal government. People have to forget that 1196 01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,160 Speaker 1: the federal government isn't going to be our savior. We're 1197 01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:22,160 Speaker 1: gonna have to save ourselves from the ground up. And 1198 01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,679 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to put pressure on universities. They're gonna 1199 01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:30,320 Speaker 1: have to put pressure on the patterns of trade that 1200 01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:33,120 Speaker 1: our states engage in. And that's going to be much 1201 01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,000 Speaker 1: much more effective than trying to wait for a federal response. 1202 01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:39,559 Speaker 1: But recognizing that free trip that those college kids got 1203 01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,400 Speaker 1: to go to China, it's going to come with some strings. 1204 01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:45,439 Speaker 1: That that great welcome that you've got to promise to 1205 01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:49,360 Speaker 1: buy all these crops, this group of visitors that was 1206 01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,720 Speaker 1: going to prop up your resort or your hotel or 1207 01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:54,200 Speaker 1: something like that, that can be taken away as easily 1208 01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:56,680 Speaker 1: as as it's given, and it's going to come with 1209 01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,439 Speaker 1: strings attached. I think Secretary of Pompeio has been in 1210 01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:02,400 Speaker 1: a store Secretary of State in this regard the most 1211 01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,960 Speaker 1: candid in terms of talking to the world but also 1212 01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:08,240 Speaker 1: talking to Americans about what the nature and scope of 1213 01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:10,720 Speaker 1: this challenge has been. And we're just at the very 1214 01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,920 Speaker 1: beginning of having that real conversation. And it seems like nothing, 1215 01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:16,840 Speaker 1: but in my thirty years of working on this topic, 1216 01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,639 Speaker 1: this is the first we've even made headway and having 1217 01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:23,800 Speaker 1: that more honest conversation. It just needs to continue. Our 1218 01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:27,080 Speaker 1: allies are getting hit by the Chinese. Two the Brits, 1219 01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 1: the Australians have had some ugly political attacks on them 1220 01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:32,519 Speaker 1: by the Chinese, and so more of the world is 1221 01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:36,479 Speaker 1: coming around to this isn't Donald Trump the person versus 1222 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:41,320 Speaker 1: big bad China. This is China declaring war on civilization 1223 01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:43,479 Speaker 1: as we know it, freedom as we've known it. And 1224 01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:46,679 Speaker 1: sadly they've got enablers in our own polity and we've 1225 01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:49,200 Speaker 1: got to get wise. And I think this election experience 1226 01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,640 Speaker 1: has awakened more Americans to roll this boulder forward in 1227 01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:54,960 Speaker 1: the right way. I hope. Before we let you go, 1228 01:12:55,600 --> 01:13:00,200 Speaker 1: the story that broke about all these Chinese Communist Party 1229 01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:04,880 Speaker 1: members based on this leaked list, it was named and 1230 01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:13,080 Speaker 1: particularly UK major international United Kingdom base. You know British companies, Steve, 1231 01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:14,360 Speaker 1: what did you make of that? I mean it was 1232 01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:16,680 Speaker 1: I think of a company, you know, Rolls Royce. We 1233 01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:19,160 Speaker 1: think of these British companies that people all all know 1234 01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:21,960 Speaker 1: off the top of their head they've hired and in 1235 01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:26,000 Speaker 1: some cases put in pretty sensitive positions, not just Chinese workers, 1236 01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:29,559 Speaker 1: which the different thing members active members of the Chinese 1237 01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:34,360 Speaker 1: Communist Party. Yeah, so these the target of corporate leaders 1238 01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:38,080 Speaker 1: and influencers has been something that a lot of nefarious 1239 01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,679 Speaker 1: players around the world have gone to, and the Chinese 1240 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,120 Speaker 1: have made a big, big play for that. And the 1241 01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,840 Speaker 1: corporate boards and corporate leadership that allows these people in 1242 01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,559 Speaker 1: either are really really ignorant to let these people into 1243 01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:52,560 Speaker 1: the barn, or they're in on the joke, and what 1244 01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,720 Speaker 1: they're trying to do is to buy access to the 1245 01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,439 Speaker 1: ever elusive billion plus Chinese market by allowing these folks 1246 01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:03,840 Speaker 1: into board rooms and influential positions. What happens most of 1247 01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:08,080 Speaker 1: the time, though, is technology and talent and other gets 1248 01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,960 Speaker 1: stolen away from them and a competitor rises up in 1249 01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,240 Speaker 1: China and they need to learn this sad lesson. But 1250 01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:17,320 Speaker 1: this has happened in many corporations, in many political organizations. 1251 01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,120 Speaker 1: The UK story could easily be replicated in a lot 1252 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:23,080 Speaker 1: of America. We know that members of the Senate and 1253 01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:27,760 Speaker 1: House Intelligence communities have been personally compromised by staffers being 1254 01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:32,160 Speaker 1: on their roles for many years, and an FBI briefing 1255 01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,439 Speaker 1: ends that tenure. But the damage is done. That's been 1256 01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:37,720 Speaker 1: done in corporations, have been done in Congress, It's been 1257 01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:40,840 Speaker 1: done in campaigns, and everyone needs to get wiser about 1258 01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:45,560 Speaker 1: how to vet this. Stephen Yates, CEO of DC International Advisory, 1259 01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,479 Speaker 1: you can follow him on Twitter. Steve, great to have you, Matt, 1260 01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:54,360 Speaker 1: thanks so much, my pleasure to take care Buck. Thanks 1261 01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:57,640 Speaker 1: for listening to the Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to 1262 01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:01,320 Speaker 1: subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app four, wherever 1263 01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:05,840 Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. Is there a doctor in the 1264 01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:11,840 Speaker 1: White House? Not if you need an m D. This 1265 01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:16,160 Speaker 1: was written by this guy, Joseph Epstein, and the subheading 1266 01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:17,960 Speaker 1: if this is an editor in the Wall Street Journal, 1267 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:22,360 Speaker 1: Jill Biden should think about dropping the honorific, which feels 1268 01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:27,960 Speaker 1: fraudulent even comic. Let me just be very clear, it 1269 01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:31,000 Speaker 1: is fraudulent and comic. It's absurd. Now one is a 1270 01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:34,000 Speaker 1: fraudulent I mean the notion that we should have to 1271 01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:36,840 Speaker 1: call this person who got a PhD at fifty five 1272 01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:39,439 Speaker 1: because she was apparently bored and you know, wanted to 1273 01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:43,000 Speaker 1: get more street cred or something. Got a PhD at 1274 01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:51,280 Speaker 1: fifty five in some kind of you know, educational field, 1275 01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:53,760 Speaker 1: and we're all supposed refer to as doctor. Now, well, 1276 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:55,599 Speaker 1: let me be very clear. This is a custom thing, 1277 01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,800 Speaker 1: this is a cultural thing. There's no legal issue here, right, 1278 01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:02,720 Speaker 1: Call whatever you want. So I don't really understand what 1279 01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:04,960 Speaker 1: they think the big deal is here, and I want 1280 01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:09,320 Speaker 1: to be very clear that when I look at this, 1281 01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:13,000 Speaker 1: I see that there are people making a big deal 1282 01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:18,639 Speaker 1: is now. I said back in August, doctor Jill Biden 1283 01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:21,680 Speaker 1: shouldn't be called doctor. This isn't a partisan statement. It's 1284 01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:26,840 Speaker 1: about reality. That was back in August. So they wrote 1285 01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,519 Speaker 1: this piece of the walls through journal a few months after. 1286 01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:32,280 Speaker 1: I was already coming out there saying this because I 1287 01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,000 Speaker 1: think it's very obvious. The whole thing is absurd. But 1288 01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:42,439 Speaker 1: you see, they hate. You're not allowed to mock. You 1289 01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:46,920 Speaker 1: are not allowed to mock people in power when they're Democrats. 1290 01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,040 Speaker 1: You can't do that. You're not allowed to poke fun 1291 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:53,080 Speaker 1: at them. They shut that down because it takes away 1292 01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:57,400 Speaker 1: from the power and the perception of power that they're 1293 01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:59,880 Speaker 1: trying to build for them. So you know, I mean, 1294 01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:04,599 Speaker 1: Jill Biden is not a doctor. And here's what this guy, 1295 01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:10,479 Speaker 1: this guy writes, Madam first Lady missus Biden, Jill kiddo, 1296 01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:13,240 Speaker 1: now that people got mad about the kiddo thing, A 1297 01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:16,840 Speaker 1: bit of advice on what may seem like a small 1298 01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,360 Speaker 1: but I think is not an important matter. Any chance 1299 01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:24,840 Speaker 1: you might drop the doctor before your name, Doctor Jill 1300 01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:28,200 Speaker 1: Biden sounds and feels fraudulent, not to say, a touch comic. 1301 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:33,040 Speaker 1: Your degree is I believe an e an ed d. 1302 01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:37,560 Speaker 1: Or a Doctor of Education earned at the University of 1303 01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:42,879 Speaker 1: Delaware through a dissertation with the unpromising title student retention 1304 01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:48,200 Speaker 1: at the community college level, meeting students' needs. A wise 1305 01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:50,519 Speaker 1: man once said that no one should call himself doctor 1306 01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:54,280 Speaker 1: unless he has delivered a child. Think about a doctor, Jill, 1307 01:17:54,400 --> 01:18:00,519 Speaker 1: and forthwith drop the doc. I taught at Northwestern University 1308 01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,280 Speaker 1: for thirty years without a doctorate or any advanced degree. 1309 01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:07,680 Speaker 1: I have only a BA in absentia from the University 1310 01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:11,480 Speaker 1: of Chicago in absentia because I took my final examination 1311 01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:15,120 Speaker 1: on a pool table at headquarters company ford Hood, Texas, 1312 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,400 Speaker 1: while serving in the Peacetime Army in the late nineteen fifties. 1313 01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:21,479 Speaker 1: I do have an honorary doctorate, though I have yet 1314 01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,200 Speaker 1: to report to the president of the school that awarded it. 1315 01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:26,519 Speaker 1: I was fired the year after I received it. Not 1316 01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:33,799 Speaker 1: I hope for allowing my honorary doctorate. That's right. So friends, 1317 01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,160 Speaker 1: this is pretty straightforward. And I remember some of you 1318 01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,960 Speaker 1: wrote any disagree with me on this, that's fine. I 1319 01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:42,160 Speaker 1: think it's weird, and if you if we can argue 1320 01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:44,360 Speaker 1: about this, there's certainly argument to be had on both sides. 1321 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:46,840 Speaker 1: I think it's weird to insist, because she clearly does. 1322 01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:50,080 Speaker 1: Because there are tons of people out there without doctorates. 1323 01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:52,599 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, with doctorates who don't want to be called 1324 01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:55,400 Speaker 1: the doctor. There lots and lots and lots of them. 1325 01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:59,000 Speaker 1: I've always thought this was a little strange. I never 1326 01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,439 Speaker 1: liked that. I had a We call them headmasters at 1327 01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:05,000 Speaker 1: my grammar school, my primary school, so that's that's what 1328 01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:08,960 Speaker 1: we had to call our principal, a headmaster, and we 1329 01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:11,080 Speaker 1: had to call him doctor, and he was he wasn't 1330 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,680 Speaker 1: a doctor. You know we had some kind of a 1331 01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:16,800 Speaker 1: doctorate in the humanities or whatever. And I know that 1332 01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:21,519 Speaker 1: there's some there's some long standing tradition here of people 1333 01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:25,200 Speaker 1: that are getting a the PhD came before the MD 1334 01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:29,080 Speaker 1: or whatever. I don't care. We've we've evolved in our 1335 01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:31,920 Speaker 1: conversation about this. A doctor is a person who is 1336 01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:35,679 Speaker 1: a doctor, right, and I think that that's in it's 1337 01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:38,519 Speaker 1: it's delivered as an honorific it's delivered as a term 1338 01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,840 Speaker 1: of respect. I do not have any respect for Jill 1339 01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:48,040 Speaker 1: Biden's PhD in community college retention. I give zero, you 1340 01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:52,320 Speaker 1: know what's about that? And so I'm not going to 1341 01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:55,040 Speaker 1: walk around and be told that I have to. I 1342 01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:56,600 Speaker 1: have to say this a better You know this is 1343 01:19:56,840 --> 01:20:00,679 Speaker 1: if I insisted that Democrats call me Buck the radio 1344 01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:03,880 Speaker 1: genius Sexton, they would have a right to say, no, 1345 01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:06,960 Speaker 1: we're not actually going to do that. We're not actually 1346 01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,240 Speaker 1: going to refer to him as the radio genius and say, well, 1347 01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:11,800 Speaker 1: but why not, you know it, why not just be 1348 01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:13,799 Speaker 1: polite and call him what he likes to be called. 1349 01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:18,599 Speaker 1: They won't do that. So I I know I had 1350 01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:21,519 Speaker 1: a grandfather who had an honorary doctorate from Notre Dame 1351 01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:24,719 Speaker 1: no One. We never called him doctor. He wasn't a doctor. 1352 01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:30,439 Speaker 1: So I think that this is this is just one 1353 01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:32,040 Speaker 1: of these things that shouldn't have been such a big deal. 1354 01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:37,880 Speaker 1: But the Libs and the machinery of Biden worship, that's 1355 01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:41,000 Speaker 1: all kicking into gear. It's amazing. Oh this is sexist. 1356 01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:44,920 Speaker 1: They say it's not sexist. Oh what they think that 1357 01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:47,280 Speaker 1: if we were supposed to call him doctor Joe Biden 1358 01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:51,599 Speaker 1: because of his PhD in education and in community college 1359 01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:55,280 Speaker 1: retention or whatever, that we wouldn't make fun of him 1360 01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:57,639 Speaker 1: for that. That's absurd. I mean, their point is absurd. 1361 01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:00,559 Speaker 1: It's not it's not real. I would, of course make 1362 01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,320 Speaker 1: fun of Joe Biden for that. I'd make fun of 1363 01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:04,160 Speaker 1: anyone for that, and I think we have a right 1364 01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:08,799 Speaker 1: to do that. But you'll you'll notice there's a particular 1365 01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:15,120 Speaker 1: sensitivity around Biden and his wife and the First family 1366 01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:18,600 Speaker 1: and all this stuff because they don't want people to 1367 01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,560 Speaker 1: start to realize how how silly this whole thing is. 1368 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:26,360 Speaker 1: That Joe Biden is a third tier mediocrity in every sense, 1369 01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 1: and they just figured that this is a guy we 1370 01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:32,200 Speaker 1: could make president. They didn't spend enough time thinking about 1371 01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:34,479 Speaker 1: should we make him president. They just figured out we can, 1372 01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,760 Speaker 1: we can fool enough people with the media and with 1373 01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:41,400 Speaker 1: social media allied together in a pandemic year, we could 1374 01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:43,840 Speaker 1: we could get this guy to be president. And they're 1375 01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:45,639 Speaker 1: all going to try to pretend like this is really 1376 01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:48,000 Speaker 1: impressive and he's some great guy. Joe Biden's a clown 1377 01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:52,719 Speaker 1: and it's a little it is. It's pretentious that her wife, 1378 01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:55,160 Speaker 1: that his wife rather goes around demanding to be called 1379 01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:59,479 Speaker 1: doctor doctor Joe Biden. I'm sorry it is pretentious because 1380 01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:03,120 Speaker 1: clearly demands it, because we know about it, right, This 1381 01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:05,439 Speaker 1: isn't like it just is. It's not It's one thing 1382 01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:09,840 Speaker 1: in the classroom on campus. I'm talking about it in 1383 01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:14,160 Speaker 1: like general, in life, in general. You know, I think 1384 01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:17,360 Speaker 1: Dick Cheney's wife has a has a doctorate. No one 1385 01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:20,519 Speaker 1: calls her doctor Cheney like missus Cheney. There's tons of examples. 1386 01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:23,360 Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal do its credit, Uh fired back 1387 01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:25,439 Speaker 1: on this one because social media over the weekend. Oh 1388 01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:29,479 Speaker 1: my gosh, how how dare you not referred to as 1389 01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:34,320 Speaker 1: doctor Jill Biden. I just want to know it. Has 1390 01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:37,320 Speaker 1: anyone who ever wrote a dissertation for a PhD program 1391 01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:40,160 Speaker 1: at the University of Delaware. I'm just gonna ask this question. 1392 01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:42,960 Speaker 1: Do you think I've ever not gotten it? Do you 1393 01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:44,760 Speaker 1: think the University of Delaware has every been like, yeah, 1394 01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:48,439 Speaker 1: you're you're in their PhD program and you finished a doctorate, 1395 01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,760 Speaker 1: but you know it just wasn't really good, so we're 1396 01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,120 Speaker 1: not going to give you your PhD. I'm just guessing. 1397 01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:56,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I have to I wonder if the 1398 01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:58,320 Speaker 1: state is even available. I'm guessing the answer though, is 1399 01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:00,640 Speaker 1: that you know, you show up, you write the thing, 1400 01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:04,600 Speaker 1: you get the doctorate. So what exactly is impressive about this? 1401 01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:08,840 Speaker 1: In what way am I supposed to care about? No, 1402 01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:12,320 Speaker 1: of course not. Do do you think that? Do you 1403 01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,280 Speaker 1: think that if the roles were reversed, if this was 1404 01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:17,920 Speaker 1: a Republican's wife, the Democrats would be leaping to her defense. No. 1405 01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,439 Speaker 1: In fact, there was no talk about the sexism of 1406 01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:24,080 Speaker 1: attacking Milanni all the time. There was no talk about 1407 01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:26,559 Speaker 1: the xenophobia of attacking her accent, making fun of her 1408 01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:30,280 Speaker 1: a woman who speaks five She's a highly successful international 1409 01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:33,320 Speaker 1: model who speaks five languages. But they would they love 1410 01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:37,160 Speaker 1: making jokes about her, mocking her. Do you think they 1411 01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:41,760 Speaker 1: made you think they made jokes about this. Would they 1412 01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:43,439 Speaker 1: make jokes about this if it was a Republican. No, 1413 01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:45,800 Speaker 1: they would if it was a Republican, Not if it's 1414 01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:48,760 Speaker 1: a Democrat. So oh, there's a little bit more here. 1415 01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:52,760 Speaker 1: I want to read more from this guy's piece. The 1416 01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:57,360 Speaker 1: PhD may have once held prestige, but that has been 1417 01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:00,400 Speaker 1: diminished by the erosion of seriousness and the relaxation of 1418 01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:05,120 Speaker 1: standards in university education generally, at any rate, outside the sciences, 1419 01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,680 Speaker 1: getting a doctorate was then an arduous proceeding. One had 1420 01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:12,120 Speaker 1: to pass examinations in two foreign languages, one of them 1421 01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,400 Speaker 1: Greek or Latin, defend one's thesis, and take an oral 1422 01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:19,799 Speaker 1: examination on general knowledge in one's field. At Columbia University 1423 01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:22,400 Speaker 1: of an earlier day, a secretary sat outside the room 1424 01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,519 Speaker 1: where these examinations were administered, a pitcher of water and 1425 01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:29,000 Speaker 1: a glass on her desk. The water and glass were 1426 01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:32,280 Speaker 1: there for the candidates who fainted a far cry. This 1427 01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,240 Speaker 1: is from the few doctoral examinations I sat in on 1428 01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:38,960 Speaker 1: during my teaching days, where candidates and teachers addressed one 1429 01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:42,519 Speaker 1: another by first name, and the general atmosphere you're more 1430 01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:48,080 Speaker 1: resembled a coffee clatch. Doctor Jill I note you acquired 1431 01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:51,519 Speaker 1: your ed as recently as fifteen years ago or at 1432 01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:56,040 Speaker 1: age fifty five, long after the terror had departed. The 1433 01:24:56,160 --> 01:25:00,559 Speaker 1: prestige of honorary doctorates has declined even further. Such degrees 1434 01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:05,600 Speaker 1: were once given exclusively to scholars, statements, statesmen, artists, and scientists. 1435 01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:08,600 Speaker 1: Then rich men entered the list, usually the hope they 1436 01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:10,559 Speaker 1: would donate money to the schools that had granted than 1437 01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:15,280 Speaker 1: their honorary degrees. My friends, my late friends. Saul Linowitz, 1438 01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:18,880 Speaker 1: then chairman of Xerox, told me he had sixty three 1439 01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:24,440 Speaker 1: honorary doctorates. Famoush television journalists who passed themselves off as intelligent, 1440 01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:30,840 Speaker 1: followed entertainers who didn't bother feigning intelligence were next. At Northwestern, 1441 01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:35,240 Speaker 1: recent honorary degree recipients and commencement speakers have included Stephen 1442 01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:39,080 Speaker 1: Colbert and Seth Myers. I sent a complaining email to 1443 01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:41,639 Speaker 1: the schools president about the low quality of such men, 1444 01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:46,040 Speaker 1: of men, sorry, of such men as academic honorand's, with 1445 01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:49,560 Speaker 1: the result that the following year the commencement speaker and 1446 01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:53,599 Speaker 1: honorand was Billy Jean King, who, with the graduating members 1447 01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,840 Speaker 1: of the schools women's tennis team, hit tennis balls out 1448 01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:59,760 Speaker 1: to the audience of graduating students and parents who had 1449 01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,919 Speaker 1: aid seventy thousand dollars a year for their university education, 1450 01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:08,360 Speaker 1: or perhaps I should say for their credential. Political correctness 1451 01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 1: has put paid to has put paid to any true 1452 01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:17,360 Speaker 1: honor and honorary doctorate may once have possessed. If you're 1453 01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:21,200 Speaker 1: ever looking for a similar assimile to denote rarity, try 1454 01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:26,040 Speaker 1: rarer than a contemporary university honorary degree list not containing 1455 01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:29,360 Speaker 1: an African American woman. Then there are all those honorary 1456 01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:33,240 Speaker 1: degrees bestowed on Bill Cosby, Charlie Rose, and others, owing 1457 01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:37,120 Speaker 1: to their proven or alleged sexual predations, have to have 1458 01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:41,160 Speaker 1: had to be rescinded. Between the honorary degrees given to billionaires, 1459 01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:46,599 Speaker 1: the falsely intelligent entertainers, and the politically correct. Just about 1460 01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:50,840 Speaker 1: all honor has been drained from honorary doctorates, as your 1461 01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:54,000 Speaker 1: ed D or E ed d or, I don't know 1462 01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:57,040 Speaker 1: how you even say this educational doctorate, Madame first Lady, 1463 01:26:57,160 --> 01:26:59,240 Speaker 1: hard owned, though hard earned though it may have been, 1464 01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:02,800 Speaker 1: Please consider stowing it at least in public, at least 1465 01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:06,080 Speaker 1: for now. Forget the small thrill of being doctor Jill 1466 01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:08,040 Speaker 1: and settled for the larger thrill of living for the 1467 01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:11,080 Speaker 1: next four years and the best public housing the world has. 1468 01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:17,960 Speaker 1: As first Lady Jill Biden. Yeah, completely agree with this piece, 1469 01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:20,280 Speaker 1: which made out surprise any of you. I think it's 1470 01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:24,439 Speaker 1: completely correct. I think he's spot on. I think Joe 1471 01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:28,920 Speaker 1: Biden is you know. I think that she's a little 1472 01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:31,720 Speaker 1: high falutin here, and I agree, and I think we 1473 01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:34,280 Speaker 1: are allowed to make fun of this. I'm sorry. I 1474 01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:39,760 Speaker 1: am not simply not going to bend the knee on 1475 01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:46,920 Speaker 1: this one because they say so. No interest, no interest whatsoever. 1476 01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:53,960 Speaker 1: So that's what I would say. That's where I am 1477 01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:55,960 Speaker 1: on this one. Not calling her doctor Jill, don't call 1478 01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,439 Speaker 1: her Jill Biden the first lady. You can call her 1479 01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:01,360 Speaker 1: first Lady, that's fine, or Joe Biden. That's her name. 1480 01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:04,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden can hem and hall about this as much 1481 01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:07,320 Speaker 1: as he wants, but really the more it's just get 1482 01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:09,960 Speaker 1: ready for a lot of the of the usual tactics 1483 01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,040 Speaker 1: you've seen in the past. They're gonna call this person, 1484 01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:15,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna call this person weeb. It is in the 1485 01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:18,280 Speaker 1: role that is pointing out what's so obvious to all 1486 01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:21,160 Speaker 1: of us sexist get ready for everything is going to 1487 01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:24,679 Speaker 1: be sexist and racist. Again. That's that's the future we're 1488 01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:28,200 Speaker 1: now heading toward in a Democrat bid administration. Whenever they 1489 01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:31,280 Speaker 1: don't like something, it's sexist, it's racist. They're not going 1490 01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:33,640 Speaker 1: to be arguing on the merits. They're not going to 1491 01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:37,840 Speaker 1: allow for differences of opinion on things that whenever they 1492 01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:39,519 Speaker 1: can get away with it, which is gonna be a lot, 1493 01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:43,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna raise this as an issue. They're gonna be 1494 01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:46,640 Speaker 1: telling people that this is the way it has to be. 1495 01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:52,120 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, I refuse, I refuse. We gotta come 1496 01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:54,439 Speaker 1: up with something. They already used hashtag resist. We gotta 1497 01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:58,360 Speaker 1: come up with a hashtag, you know, go blank off libs, 1498 01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:03,760 Speaker 1: something like that. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is 1499 01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:12,040 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Interesting story today at a 1500 01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:15,600 Speaker 1: time when I know the Attorney General has come in 1501 01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:19,960 Speaker 1: for a lot of criticism from Trump's supporters. Interesting story 1502 01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:21,840 Speaker 1: not getting a whole lot of attention here, but a 1503 01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:27,680 Speaker 1: little bit. Special Counsel Durham is expanding his team examining 1504 01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:32,000 Speaker 1: the origins of the Russia collusion problem. Let me tell 1505 01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,920 Speaker 1: you what could end up happening here, friends. Well, first, first, 1506 01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:36,880 Speaker 1: I'll give you the update the story. Fox News has 1507 01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:39,639 Speaker 1: learned that Durham, the USE attorney for Connecticut who bar 1508 01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:43,679 Speaker 1: appointed in October a special councils adding prosecutors to his team. 1509 01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:47,639 Speaker 1: It's unclear who they are, but Fox News a supporter 1510 01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:50,160 Speaker 1: that Jeff j Jeff Jensen, the US attorney for the 1511 01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:53,040 Speaker 1: Eastern District of Missouri, staff by the Justice Department in 1512 01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:55,280 Speaker 1: February or review the case of former aut security advisor 1513 01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:59,640 Speaker 1: Michael Flynn, was helping the Drum's investigation. So this is 1514 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:04,560 Speaker 1: it is interesting that the Durham would be expanding his 1515 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:08,400 Speaker 1: team at this phase now he's a special counsel. Makes 1516 01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:12,400 Speaker 1: it a lot harder, makes it a lot harder for 1517 01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:17,520 Speaker 1: anyone to just shut this down in a Biden administration. 1518 01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's impossible, but it makes it more complicated, 1519 01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:23,360 Speaker 1: it makes it more politically costly. And here's what I 1520 01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:27,360 Speaker 1: see happening. If they shut it down, We've already established 1521 01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:29,320 Speaker 1: because they said this under Trump, if they shut down 1522 01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:31,759 Speaker 1: they told us that if Trump shut down the special 1523 01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:34,719 Speaker 1: Collusion I'm sorry, Special Council probe in a Russia collusion, 1524 01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,200 Speaker 1: if they shut that down, they would impeach him. Just 1525 01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:40,880 Speaker 1: for shutting it down. We might be able to take 1526 01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:45,519 Speaker 1: the House back in two years. And depending on what 1527 01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:49,559 Speaker 1: this Durham probe finds, wouldn't it be fair play, wouldn't 1528 01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:54,920 Speaker 1: it be justice? Dare I say if Durham gets the 1529 01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:59,720 Speaker 1: goods on Biden and members of the members of the 1530 01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:03,040 Speaker 1: Obama administration, I mean, who knows what he's really going 1531 01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:05,840 Speaker 1: to find here, right, but people from the Obama administration 1532 01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:09,000 Speaker 1: who could be back in the Biden administration and Biden 1533 01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:12,800 Speaker 1: were to shut down the Durham probe or even try to, 1534 01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:17,360 Speaker 1: maybe it's time for a little Democrat impeachment process and 1535 01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:20,200 Speaker 1: maybe we'll see how they like it. You know, this 1536 01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:24,920 Speaker 1: could happen. I know it's a ways out. But if 1537 01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,240 Speaker 1: we do have a full accounting of Russia collusion, we 1538 01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:31,160 Speaker 1: we'll see if the Democrats are a bunch of corrupt 1539 01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:37,240 Speaker 1: deep state liars and their disgrace, and that the Obama 1540 01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:41,000 Speaker 1: administration that Joe Biden was a part of at a 1541 01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:45,120 Speaker 1: very high level was also a complete and utter disgrace. 1542 01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:49,840 Speaker 1: So don't give up entirely on this. I said Durham 1543 01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,800 Speaker 1: wasn't going to get it done before the election. I 1544 01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:55,000 Speaker 1: didn't realize that there was going to be a special 1545 01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:57,600 Speaker 1: counsel appointed after the election, or that he would be 1546 01:31:57,640 --> 01:32:01,120 Speaker 1: appointed as a special counsel, and this could this could 1547 01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:05,360 Speaker 1: change things quite a bit. This, this could be very 1548 01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:10,799 Speaker 1: very relevant going forward, because friends, the Russia collusion stuff 1549 01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:14,560 Speaker 1: was was was atrocious, and we know enough now to 1550 01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:16,800 Speaker 1: know that everything we've said about how bad they were 1551 01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:21,400 Speaker 1: and how awful and egregious their actions were, we were 1552 01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:24,639 Speaker 1: telling the truth. We were correct, and they were lying 1553 01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:28,120 Speaker 1: about this stuff. So Durham being able to find out 1554 01:32:28,240 --> 01:32:31,080 Speaker 1: more here and get to the point where he's able 1555 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,120 Speaker 1: to hold people accountable, I think that could really make 1556 01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:37,760 Speaker 1: a big difference down the line, not right now, but 1557 01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:41,200 Speaker 1: down the line were this is a long fight. Friends, 1558 01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:45,920 Speaker 1: don't don't feel dejected. Don't feel like you know all 1559 01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:48,160 Speaker 1: is lost right now, because I understand there's a tough 1560 01:32:48,200 --> 01:32:52,840 Speaker 1: week with the Electoral Electoral College today and this is 1561 01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:55,880 Speaker 1: not an easy time. But we still have a lot 1562 01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:58,920 Speaker 1: of fights ahead and the Democrats are going to have 1563 01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:01,200 Speaker 1: their handsful, and I hope this Durham probe makes things 1564 01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:03,400 Speaker 1: a whole lot more challenging for them, that's for sure. 1565 01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:07,800 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the Bus Show podcasts.

Gina, Hi again, Buck. A few 1578 01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:14,240 Speaker 1: days ago you mentioned our governor Polis and his wife 1579 01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:17,200 Speaker 1: both had COVID. I need to correct on one point 1580 01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:19,920 Speaker 1: of your story. He actually has a husband. Our media 1581 01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:22,120 Speaker 1: pushed very hard to elect him as the first gay 1582 01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:25,360 Speaker 1: governor in history. He's also very wealthy and refused to 1583 01:34:25,439 --> 01:34:27,240 Speaker 1: live in the governor's mansion as he wanted to stay 1584 01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:30,599 Speaker 1: in his family compound in Boulder. In Polis, the left 1585 01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:32,960 Speaker 1: has not only scored big with identity politics, but also 1586 01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:36,960 Speaker 1: as an elitist as well. He is truly insufferable, and 1587 01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:39,240 Speaker 1: his edicts have ravaged our economy to what may be 1588 01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:41,680 Speaker 1: a point of no return. Anyway, I just wanted to 1589 01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:43,920 Speaker 1: point it out. Although I agonize over correcting you, I 1590 01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:46,080 Speaker 1: always hang on your every word shield side. Well, Gina, 1591 01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:48,400 Speaker 1: thank you so much. And yeah, I did not know that, 1592 01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:52,000 Speaker 1: so I think I must have read partner or something, 1593 01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:56,360 Speaker 1: and I just my mind went to wife. But apparently 1594 01:34:56,439 --> 01:34:58,880 Speaker 1: he's married married to a man. I did not know that, 1595 01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:02,000 Speaker 1: So thank you for the correct My understanding is that 1596 01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:06,200 Speaker 1: he's not a good governor. But I know our large 1597 01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:09,360 Speaker 1: Colorado based audience will write in and tell me more 1598 01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:12,920 Speaker 1: about why he is not a particularly good governor. It's 1599 01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:16,800 Speaker 1: a shame. Colorado's pretty pretty blue. I mean, there's there's 1600 01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:19,200 Speaker 1: definitely some red in it, but it's people think of 1601 01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:21,439 Speaker 1: it now is lost to the loss of the Libs, 1602 01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:24,360 Speaker 1: which is a shame. I never really spend any time 1603 01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:28,719 Speaker 1: in Colorado. I'd like to get out there, Evan hey Buck. 1604 01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:32,560 Speaker 1: On top of all the various undermining of the vaccine, 1605 01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:34,400 Speaker 1: I think one of the most dangerous things the media 1606 01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:38,679 Speaker 1: is doing is villainizing those who aren't following the media's 1607 01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:41,800 Speaker 1: demands and precautions. My mother caught COVID at the beginning 1608 01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:44,360 Speaker 1: of November while wearing a mask, and she was mortified 1609 01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:47,599 Speaker 1: and embarrassed to tell anyone. She was afraid that if 1610 01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:49,959 Speaker 1: she told people, they would think she was being reckless 1611 01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:52,400 Speaker 1: and lock and looked down on her. She wanted to 1612 01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:54,839 Speaker 1: continue on her life as best she could not tell anyone, 1613 01:35:54,920 --> 01:35:58,240 Speaker 1: which which would then continue to spread. I convinced her 1614 01:35:58,280 --> 01:36:00,880 Speaker 1: to stay home and safe and thank she's all better now. 1615 01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:04,200 Speaker 1: But the media is making those who contract COVID nineteen 1616 01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:06,800 Speaker 1: feel guilty as if they've done something wrong. This isn't 1617 01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:11,040 Speaker 1: helping contain it, it's helping too secretly spread it. Yeah, Evan, 1618 01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:13,759 Speaker 1: I mean this. You're right about there being this weird 1619 01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:18,719 Speaker 1: COVID shaming that goes on where especially if your thought 1620 01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:21,040 Speaker 1: of as somebody who's conservative, it's like you got COVID 1621 01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:24,679 Speaker 1: because of what you've done, or you deserve it. Most 1622 01:36:24,760 --> 01:36:26,920 Speaker 1: of the people that are getting COVID across the country 1623 01:36:28,120 --> 01:36:31,840 Speaker 1: are mask wearing lockdown advocates, because that's most of the 1624 01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:36,760 Speaker 1: people across the country period. There's absolutely zero correlation. There's 1625 01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:40,559 Speaker 1: zero evidence whatsoever to suggest that the people who are 1626 01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:43,800 Speaker 1: getting sick are are getting sick because they've made some 1627 01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:46,120 Speaker 1: kind of a personal choice, or they're being your response 1628 01:36:46,240 --> 01:36:48,840 Speaker 1: or anything like that at all. But whenever a Republican 1629 01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:51,840 Speaker 1: gets it, as you've seen, whether it's Trump or Chris 1630 01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:57,120 Speaker 1: Christi or any Republican gets COVID nineteen, it's it's that 1631 01:36:57,240 --> 01:37:01,920 Speaker 1: person's fault. But when a Democrat gets it, Northam and 1632 01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:05,640 Speaker 1: Virginia got it. You know, Polis, the governor Colorado, got 1633 01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:09,840 Speaker 1: every lots of down. I think Wolf the governor of Pennsylvania, 1634 01:37:09,880 --> 01:37:13,320 Speaker 1: I think that he's had COVID. Whenever they get it, 1635 01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:16,400 Speaker 1: it's just, oh, man, what a contagious virus. Yeah, really tough, 1636 01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:20,840 Speaker 1: really tough to keep yourself healthy. But when Republican gets it, it's, oh, 1637 01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:26,120 Speaker 1: you weren't masking enough. Well, it's just not true. I 1638 01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:28,400 Speaker 1: wonder you know, the UK is going into even more 1639 01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:32,120 Speaker 1: extreme lockdown right now, so at least we know it's 1640 01:37:32,200 --> 01:37:36,120 Speaker 1: not Trump's fault. There, it's not Trump's fault that the 1641 01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:38,760 Speaker 1: UK is going London, I should say, sorry, London's going 1642 01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:41,640 Speaker 1: into an even tougher tier of lockdown. Down. I mean, 1643 01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:45,639 Speaker 1: we're apparently not allowed to notice that increased lockdown measures 1644 01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:48,080 Speaker 1: work so well. They seem to always result in further 1645 01:37:48,200 --> 01:37:52,360 Speaker 1: lockdown measures. That's how good the lockdowns are. Let's go 1646 01:37:52,439 --> 01:37:55,200 Speaker 1: into phase two, and then we always end up going 1647 01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:57,680 Speaker 1: into phase three, and then you know when we sit 1648 01:37:57,760 --> 01:38:00,800 Speaker 1: there for a while. At point are we allowed to 1649 01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:05,799 Speaker 1: notice this without being kicked off of social media? Without 1650 01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:08,280 Speaker 1: being told that it's reckless to point any of this out. 1651 01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:10,960 Speaker 1: I just want to know, you know, when is it 1652 01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:14,400 Speaker 1: okay to say, yeah, it turns out that maybe the 1653 01:38:14,439 --> 01:38:20,519 Speaker 1: stuff is not working as planned. Jim Hey bucket Mark. 1654 01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:25,120 Speaker 1: I'm a medical laboratory scientist in Michigan. Just listen to 1655 01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:27,639 Speaker 1: Thursday's show when he talked about the flu cases this year. 1656 01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:29,320 Speaker 1: I can give you the reason why flu cases are 1657 01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:32,479 Speaker 1: so low. It's an easy answer. We aren't testing for it. 1658 01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:35,920 Speaker 1: My lab, which is in a hospital, usually starts testing 1659 01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:39,000 Speaker 1: for it in mid November and runs hundreds of tests 1660 01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:42,320 Speaker 1: a week in a normal year. As of today, December eleven, 1661 01:38:42,400 --> 01:38:45,479 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, we have yet to run our first test. 1662 01:38:45,960 --> 01:38:48,160 Speaker 1: Hope that helps answer your question. She'll tie. I keep 1663 01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:51,280 Speaker 1: fighting the good fight, fellow patriots. Jim, thank you so much. Yes, 1664 01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:54,640 Speaker 1: that that certainly does answer. That's very very helpful, and 1665 01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:58,280 Speaker 1: I want to know things like that. But then what 1666 01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:01,400 Speaker 1: I also would want to know is how could they 1667 01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:06,240 Speaker 1: tell is there any reason that someone could not have 1668 01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:11,640 Speaker 1: COVID and the flu at the same time. Is there 1669 01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:15,280 Speaker 1: any reason, because you know, especially as we hear that 1670 01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:19,360 Speaker 1: that the flu you could have for you know, rather 1671 01:39:19,439 --> 01:39:21,680 Speaker 1: the COVID you could have for a few weeks, a 1672 01:39:21,760 --> 01:39:25,360 Speaker 1: couple of weeks at least, and you know, are there 1673 01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:27,960 Speaker 1: people who are coming back positive on Now? When I 1674 01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:29,880 Speaker 1: say have it, I don't necessarily mean having an acting 1675 01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:32,680 Speaker 1: and infection. But could Here's what I want to know, 1676 01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:36,080 Speaker 1: And I'm asking a question because I don't know. But 1677 01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:38,200 Speaker 1: if we think this thing through it maybe maybe Jim 1678 01:39:38,280 --> 01:39:40,000 Speaker 1: can write in and tell me this as well as 1679 01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:42,960 Speaker 1: many other medical experts who I know listen to this show. 1680 01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:46,360 Speaker 1: We've got some world class doctors to listen to the show. 1681 01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:48,840 Speaker 1: It's great. I mean, Team Buck. Is this repository of 1682 01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:53,360 Speaker 1: incredible knowledge? Would it be possible that you get a 1683 01:39:53,439 --> 01:40:00,080 Speaker 1: positive PCR back on a patient who has symptoms that 1684 01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:03,360 Speaker 1: could be symptoms that are being called covid? I'm sorry, 1685 01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:07,160 Speaker 1: positive PCR with symptoms that could either be COVID or 1686 01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:10,320 Speaker 1: the flu, and we don't test for the flu, and 1687 01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:13,880 Speaker 1: we assume the person dying is dying from COVID when 1688 01:40:13,880 --> 01:40:16,919 Speaker 1: they're actually dying from a flu infection, but they're positive 1689 01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:19,720 Speaker 1: on the COVID test because the PCR is picking up 1690 01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:25,120 Speaker 1: in earlier infection. Is that possible. It's not possible that 1691 01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:28,720 Speaker 1: the flu is gone that we know. So if we're 1692 01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:31,400 Speaker 1: not testing for it, well, then that means that there 1693 01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:33,439 Speaker 1: are people who have it and aren't dying from it, 1694 01:40:33,479 --> 01:40:36,000 Speaker 1: because that happens every year in this country who are 1695 01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:39,840 Speaker 1: not being marked as flu deaths. That has to be 1696 01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:44,320 Speaker 1: That just logically follows, right, So we need to look 1697 01:40:44,360 --> 01:40:48,120 Speaker 1: a little bit more at this and understand these numbers better, 1698 01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:50,120 Speaker 1: because if there's just no testing for flu going on 1699 01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:52,759 Speaker 1: nationwide right now, because there's all this focus on COVID testing, 1700 01:40:53,640 --> 01:40:56,679 Speaker 1: it seems to me like a near certainty we must 1701 01:40:56,760 --> 01:40:59,439 Speaker 1: then be counting some flu deaths as COVID deaths. I'm 1702 01:40:59,439 --> 01:41:02,240 Speaker 1: not saying, I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, but there 1703 01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:04,280 Speaker 1: must be some overlap, and I wonder if it's a 1704 01:41:04,320 --> 01:41:10,519 Speaker 1: substantial overlap. I would wager I would bet that it 1705 01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:14,599 Speaker 1: probably is. But Jim, thanks again so much for writing. Again, 1706 01:41:15,560 --> 01:41:19,320 Speaker 1: Jay writes in Buck I'm sick of all the secession talk. 1707 01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:23,040 Speaker 1: Secession is easy, It's the coward's way. I have long 1708 01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:27,120 Speaker 1: complained about conservatives moving from liberal states to more conservative states. 1709 01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:31,160 Speaker 1: This action poses several problems. For one, it abandons all 1710 01:41:31,200 --> 01:41:33,280 Speaker 1: of the freedom loving Americans in blue states who for 1711 01:41:33,400 --> 01:41:36,320 Speaker 1: multiple reasons can't move. But even more, it makes those 1712 01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:39,200 Speaker 1: states even more liberal as conservatives leave, and the more 1713 01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,120 Speaker 1: liberal a place becomes, the more psycho left it becomes. 1714 01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:45,519 Speaker 1: I'm originally from California, and I moved to Colorado ten 1715 01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:48,160 Speaker 1: years ago for work and a change of scenery, not 1716 01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:52,599 Speaker 1: for politics. California hasn't always been so crazy left. Even 1717 01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:55,280 Speaker 1: just fifteen years ago, it wasn't so bad. There were 1718 01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:57,840 Speaker 1: bad areas, but there were enough conservatives to keep the 1719 01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:01,320 Speaker 1: crazy in check. Most of those I know who moves 1720 01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:04,240 Speaker 1: said they were simply tired of fighting. And that's the problem. 1721 01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:06,920 Speaker 1: I'm sorry to say it, but conservatives and Republicans are 1722 01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:10,200 Speaker 1: getting lazy. Liberals win because they fight for what they believe. 1723 01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:12,840 Speaker 1: They take the effort we don't, and it's evident in 1724 01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:15,200 Speaker 1: our politics. We need to stand now to preserve the Union, 1725 01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:18,760 Speaker 1: not break it up. Don't take the easy way. Well, Jay, 1726 01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:20,720 Speaker 1: there's not going to be a secession And anyone who 1727 01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:22,240 Speaker 1: wants to get bad at me for saying that, can 1728 01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:23,680 Speaker 1: you know, we can come up with some kind of 1729 01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:25,160 Speaker 1: a bet and we'll see who's right. There's not going 1730 01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:28,120 Speaker 1: to be a secession movement. Okay. Republicans actually did very 1731 01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:31,120 Speaker 1: well in this last election, with the exception of Trump 1732 01:42:31,160 --> 01:42:34,479 Speaker 1: at the top of the ticket. That's it. It is true. 1733 01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:39,040 Speaker 1: Republicans did very well in state houses, governorships. Looks like 1734 01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:41,320 Speaker 1: we're hopefully and that's why I have such a focus 1735 01:42:41,400 --> 01:42:44,759 Speaker 1: on Georgia now hopefully going to retain control of the Senate. 1736 01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:49,160 Speaker 1: And you know, if you have Senate control, you might 1737 01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:53,320 Speaker 1: have a very kind of ineffective and mediocre at best 1738 01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:56,320 Speaker 1: first two years of a Biden presidency. And then I 1739 01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:57,760 Speaker 1: do think they're going to try to I think they're 1740 01:42:57,760 --> 01:42:59,360 Speaker 1: going to try to hand it off the Kamala Harris. 1741 01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:02,960 Speaker 1: I think that that is the plan. I think that's 1742 01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,640 Speaker 1: understood at some level. Maybe they don't hand it off 1743 01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:07,559 Speaker 1: in the first two years, maybe it's in year three 1744 01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:10,080 Speaker 1: or four. I don't know, but I think they are 1745 01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:13,760 Speaker 1: going to try to hand it off. And I would 1746 01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:17,040 Speaker 1: just say now that there are a lot of people 1747 01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:21,840 Speaker 1: who are who are very upset and they understand they 1748 01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:24,599 Speaker 1: see this as being a big threat to our country 1749 01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:28,759 Speaker 1: and they are angry but the election. I share those feelings, 1750 01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:32,240 Speaker 1: but I, unlike a lot of other people out there, 1751 01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:37,120 Speaker 1: I am not going to exploit the feelings of conservatives 1752 01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:39,560 Speaker 1: across the country for my own ends by trying to 1753 01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:43,360 Speaker 1: drive more audience. I mean, there's there's one there's one 1754 01:43:43,520 --> 01:43:46,439 Speaker 1: channel right now that's doing a lot of this where 1755 01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:49,439 Speaker 1: they're telling people we're gonna win, We're gonna win, don't worry, 1756 01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:54,760 Speaker 1: We're still gonna win. And it's it's not Fox. There's 1757 01:43:54,800 --> 01:43:56,840 Speaker 1: one channel where they're doing this, and I think that 1758 01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:59,439 Speaker 1: they're doing a disservice to people, but it's it's really 1759 01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:03,679 Speaker 1: just opportunism. I don't view this as principle. I don't 1760 01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:06,360 Speaker 1: view this as principle at this point. Right it was, 1761 01:44:06,479 --> 01:44:09,240 Speaker 1: it's up to the up to a certain phase. You know, 1762 01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:11,280 Speaker 1: you fight and you try to encourage the fight as 1763 01:44:11,360 --> 01:44:13,519 Speaker 1: much as you can. But beyond that, I think there 1764 01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:18,080 Speaker 1: are people who are exploiting our anger, our frustration. Are 1765 01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:22,280 Speaker 1: are knowing in our core that this election was shady, 1766 01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:25,320 Speaker 1: that there was fraud. People are exploiting this for their 1767 01:44:25,320 --> 01:44:27,920 Speaker 1: own purposes right now, and I don't like that. I 1768 01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:31,200 Speaker 1: cannot abide by that, and I won't do that. So 1769 01:44:31,320 --> 01:44:33,479 Speaker 1: those who are doing it right now because they're hoping 1770 01:44:33,520 --> 01:44:36,040 Speaker 1: to be in the good graces of the movement, so 1771 01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:41,639 Speaker 1: to speak, I think it's I think it's wrong. You're 1772 01:44:41,720 --> 01:44:44,400 Speaker 1: in the freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sex and 1773 01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:51,439 Speaker 1: Show podcast. All right, more roll call coming to us here. 1774 01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:54,439 Speaker 1: Z We've had ZV reading before. It's a fun name 1775 01:44:54,479 --> 01:44:58,040 Speaker 1: to say, Z rights. Hey, Buck. I'm no law expert, 1776 01:44:58,560 --> 01:45:00,679 Speaker 1: but I think the real problem is that the attorney 1777 01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:04,400 Speaker 1: general from Texas didn't request a reasonable remedy. If the 1778 01:45:04,479 --> 01:45:07,720 Speaker 1: accusations are correct, what can be done to fix it? 1779 01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:11,680 Speaker 1: At this point? Do the legitimate ballots still have integrity? 1780 01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:14,840 Speaker 1: Can they be isolated from the illegitimate ones? I doubt 1781 01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:19,040 Speaker 1: anything can now be rolled back or corrected. Let me 1782 01:45:19,080 --> 01:45:21,120 Speaker 1: start with this, as I know you wrote in with 1783 01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:26,280 Speaker 1: more than this, but no, I mean the Supreme Court 1784 01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:29,640 Speaker 1: ruling was that they didn't have standing. That essentially, a 1785 01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:33,040 Speaker 1: state cannot say we don't like what this other state 1786 01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:35,720 Speaker 1: did in their election practice and that we think that 1787 01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:40,120 Speaker 1: they allowed fraud. So we want you to invalidate that 1788 01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:43,000 Speaker 1: other states election. That essentially, they're not going to give 1789 01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:46,200 Speaker 1: some states the ability to try to veto the election 1790 01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:49,160 Speaker 1: processes and other states because it is left up to 1791 01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:53,080 Speaker 1: states to determine how their elections go. Right, That's the 1792 01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:57,479 Speaker 1: basic version. I think of what happened in the Supreme Court, 1793 01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:01,960 Speaker 1: and look, it's it was. It was always going to 1794 01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:03,560 Speaker 1: be a long shot because I remember, one of the 1795 01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:07,600 Speaker 1: problems we keep running up against here is that we 1796 01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:13,200 Speaker 1: know we know that the safeguards were removed. That's proven, 1797 01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:17,480 Speaker 1: and we know that there were a lot of irregular 1798 01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:24,200 Speaker 1: and sloppy and seemingly fraudulent procedures, but we because of 1799 01:46:24,240 --> 01:46:26,360 Speaker 1: the way it was set up, it's very hard to 1800 01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:34,519 Speaker 1: prove it right. So it's it's a situation where we 1801 01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:38,200 Speaker 1: know that they removed the ways that we'd be able 1802 01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:41,040 Speaker 1: to check on things, and now after the fact, we're 1803 01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:45,160 Speaker 1: trying to do those checks. Because it's I'm trying to 1804 01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:49,400 Speaker 1: think of a way to say this intelligently. Because it 1805 01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:53,360 Speaker 1: was easy for fraud to be committed here and for 1806 01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:56,080 Speaker 1: them to get away with it. That's not the same 1807 01:46:56,200 --> 01:46:59,000 Speaker 1: thing as being able to prove in accord. Here is 1808 01:46:59,120 --> 01:47:02,880 Speaker 1: the fraud being done right. What we're able to do 1809 01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:09,320 Speaker 1: is show that there was definitely opportunity for fraud, and 1810 01:47:09,560 --> 01:47:13,080 Speaker 1: that based on things like you know, what has been 1811 01:47:13,120 --> 01:47:15,920 Speaker 1: true about elections in previous years, it certainly looks like 1812 01:47:16,120 --> 01:47:20,240 Speaker 1: there was substantial fraud costing Trump the election, right the 1813 01:47:21,240 --> 01:47:23,960 Speaker 1: you know, for a perfect example is Georgia. I'd make 1814 01:47:24,040 --> 01:47:27,040 Speaker 1: some hard and fast cases and Georgia, there is no 1815 01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:32,800 Speaker 1: reasonable way to prove that two or three percent of 1816 01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:37,400 Speaker 1: mail in ballots in the last Georgia election were rejected 1817 01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:41,439 Speaker 1: and point zero three in this election were rejected. It's 1818 01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:44,639 Speaker 1: unreasonable to believe that you had one hundred one hundred 1819 01:47:44,680 --> 01:47:48,640 Speaker 1: times better voter practices this time around, especially with the 1820 01:47:48,720 --> 01:47:53,280 Speaker 1: expansion of mail in balloting across Georgia in the way 1821 01:47:53,320 --> 01:47:57,360 Speaker 1: that it happened. But we got to prove that there 1822 01:47:57,479 --> 01:48:00,760 Speaker 1: was actual that there was nefarious action going on. We 1823 01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:04,000 Speaker 1: have to prove it in a court. Right. Knowing something 1824 01:48:04,120 --> 01:48:05,840 Speaker 1: in your gut is not the same thing as being 1825 01:48:05,880 --> 01:48:07,920 Speaker 1: able to prove it in a court, and that's always 1826 01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:10,240 Speaker 1: been the challenge here. And then even beyond the proving 1827 01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:13,080 Speaker 1: in an accurt you have to have a judge who's 1828 01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:14,960 Speaker 1: willing to look at whatever evidence you have. I mean, 1829 01:48:15,200 --> 01:48:18,280 Speaker 1: judges are looking at these affidavits. I believe these people 1830 01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:21,479 Speaker 1: who are sending in or signing these affidavits, But the 1831 01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:24,559 Speaker 1: judge is going to effectively say it's your word against theirs, 1832 01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:28,479 Speaker 1: not gonna overturn an election on that. That's the problem. 1833 01:48:29,120 --> 01:48:30,800 Speaker 1: This is what I've seen all along, is what I'm saying. 1834 01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:32,439 Speaker 1: And I know people don't want to hear this. They 1835 01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:34,879 Speaker 1: keep saying, Oh, don't worry, you know, unleash the kraken. 1836 01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:39,559 Speaker 1: The Kraken's not gonna cut it, folks. It's not happening. 1837 01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:43,760 Speaker 1: And it makes me mad. I'm furious about it. But 1838 01:48:44,479 --> 01:48:48,080 Speaker 1: that's where we are. That's where we are now. We 1839 01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:51,000 Speaker 1: should be thinking about what we can do based on 1840 01:48:51,080 --> 01:48:56,080 Speaker 1: where we are today, how we fight now going forward? Anyways? 1841 01:48:56,160 --> 01:48:59,280 Speaker 1: V Rights. Can the Supreme Court force Congress to vote 1842 01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:02,479 Speaker 1: for the president, with the Senate then choosing the vice president? 1843 01:49:02,880 --> 01:49:06,240 Speaker 1: So we would so we will have a Harris Trump administration, 1844 01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:10,320 Speaker 1: assuming Republicans retain their majority. Would this be a better outcome? 1845 01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:12,599 Speaker 1: I can see why Scotus backed out of this one. 1846 01:49:15,040 --> 01:49:17,640 Speaker 1: Can the Supreme Court force Congress to vote for the 1847 01:49:17,720 --> 01:49:21,439 Speaker 1: president with the Senate then choosing the Vice President as Z. 1848 01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:24,240 Speaker 1: That's not gonna I mean again, that's it's interesting. It's 1849 01:49:24,280 --> 01:49:30,920 Speaker 1: an interesting question. It's not going to happen. Andy writes, Hey, 1850 01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:32,880 Speaker 1: Buck and Mark, with all the craziest going on, we 1851 01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:34,720 Speaker 1: can either get angry and lash out. We can turn 1852 01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:38,160 Speaker 1: to God. I chose the latter. I stopped listening to 1853 01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:40,120 Speaker 1: a lot of my political podcast during work, but I 1854 01:49:40,160 --> 01:49:42,519 Speaker 1: still listen to the Buck Sexton Show, and for the 1855 01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:44,840 Speaker 1: last twenty minutes of my day, I started reading the Bible. 1856 01:49:44,880 --> 01:49:46,519 Speaker 1: I have to say every time I read, I actually 1857 01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:49,000 Speaker 1: start to feel better. I get a good feeling about life. 1858 01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:51,080 Speaker 1: We would all turn back to our creator and stop 1859 01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:52,680 Speaker 1: denying he exists. I think the world would be in 1860 01:49:52,720 --> 01:49:54,360 Speaker 1: a much better place for me. It works. I know 1861 01:49:54,479 --> 01:49:57,080 Speaker 1: it can't be alone. God bless Buck, Mark, have a 1862 01:49:57,120 --> 01:50:00,280 Speaker 1: great Christmas in Hanakah. Andy, Thanks so much. I'm with 1863 01:50:00,400 --> 01:50:02,280 Speaker 1: you on that. You know now we've got to look 1864 01:50:02,320 --> 01:50:04,679 Speaker 1: inward a bit. We look inward to God and also 1865 01:50:04,760 --> 01:50:07,320 Speaker 1: turn to each other. We are in this together. We 1866 01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:10,920 Speaker 1: will continue this fight. We know that we have right 1867 01:50:11,080 --> 01:50:15,639 Speaker 1: on our side, and we will not give up until tomorrow. Friends, 1868 01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:16,800 Speaker 1: Shields High
