Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. It's a national emergency,
Speaker 1: it's a pandemic. The country is increasingly on lockdown. I
Speaker 1: will walk you through everything that is going on right now,
Speaker 1: what we are facing, what we should expect. Also, in
Speaker 1: case anybody cares, there was a democratic debate last night.
Speaker 1: A little bit of that and some other things too
Speaker 1: coming up. This is the Buck Sexon Show, where the
Speaker 1: mission or mission is to decode what really matters with
Speaker 1: actionable intelligence, magnor mistake American, You're a great American Again,
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexon Show begins. He's a great guy. Now
Speaker 1: to unleash the full power of the federal government to
Speaker 1: this effort. Today, I am officially declaring a national urgency.
Speaker 1: Two very big words. The action I am taking will
Speaker 1: open up access to up to fifty billion dollars of
Speaker 1: very importantly, very important and a large amount of money
Speaker 1: for states and territories or localities in our shared fight
Speaker 1: against this disease. In furtherance of the order emerging every
Speaker 1: state to set up Emergency Operations Center's effective immedia. Welcome
Speaker 1: the Buck Saxon Show. Everybody. We are feeling like we're
Speaker 1: in a whole new world right now. That's understandable. I'm
Speaker 1: here in New York City. In fact, I'm in a
Speaker 1: mobile freedom hut in a sense. We've had to set
Speaker 1: up at different locations to make sure we can do
Speaker 1: this social distancing and walking around a little bit just
Speaker 1: to do essential errands, because I'm and hearing as much
Speaker 1: as I can to the requests of city authorities and
Speaker 1: health experts not to spend time out there in what
Speaker 1: it's increasingly feeling like the red zone. We are in
Speaker 1: for a tough eight weeks at least. I'm hoping that
Speaker 1: within the next two to three weeks people will realize
Speaker 1: that this is manageable. But we are in for a
Speaker 1: tough period here. There's no question about that. You have
Speaker 1: cities across the country now Los Angeles, New York about
Speaker 1: to or already having decided that restaurants need to shut down,
Speaker 1: public places need to close their doors. Market got absolutely
Speaker 1: crushed as soon as it opened this morning. We're in
Speaker 1: a tough spot. We're going to get through it as
Speaker 1: a country, and I want to try to mix realism
Speaker 1: with a necessary and very valid optimism as we spend
Speaker 1: time here together. But for many of you, I'm just
Speaker 1: going to say this right now. You team are my
Speaker 1: connection to the outside world. I am trying to stay
Speaker 1: locked down here for the foreseeable. So this show behind
Speaker 1: behind the walls of a building that is increasingly surrounded
Speaker 1: by people who are trying to avoid even being on
Speaker 1: the street. This show will be my outreach to the
Speaker 1: rest of the world. We're all supposed to keep away
Speaker 1: from each other New York City. Just so you get
Speaker 1: some sense of for those of you live out in
Speaker 1: the country, you don't see that many people. You're in
Speaker 1: a rural area. There's a very different feeling, and I
Speaker 1: think that's understandable. New York City is already about to
Speaker 1: become ground zero for this same city that was the
Speaker 1: ground zero for the nine to eleven attacks is in
Speaker 1: the midst of becoming the single epicenter of this disease,
Speaker 1: which is changing our daily lives. And who knows what
Speaker 1: the final economic impact of it all will be. Who
Speaker 1: knows where all of this is really going at this point.
Speaker 1: All I can tell you is we've got to come
Speaker 1: together as a country and do everything that we can
Speaker 1: to help each other, try to mitigate the risks to
Speaker 1: our economy, to businesses, try to do whatever we can
Speaker 1: to assist. And this is Trump's war. Now you know
Speaker 1: you are seeing wartime Trump. There's no way around it.
Speaker 1: This is what his entire administration will be judged on.
Speaker 1: And I have all these updates for you on what's happening.
Speaker 1: It was definitely unsettling over the weekend as more information
Speaker 1: came in about the shutdowns. And that's something that you
Speaker 1: can't you can't ignore easily because everyone understands that these
Speaker 1: restaurants that are getting closed, movie theaters are being closed,
Speaker 1: bars are shut down. Now, there were some people that
Speaker 1: were a bit defiant about this over the weekend. There
Speaker 1: were those who, for example, down in New Orleans, wonderful
Speaker 1: town that I'm quite fond of and hope to get
Speaker 1: back to you very soon. Some people New Orleans, we're
Speaker 1: out there on the streets enjoying themselves. And look, I
Speaker 1: understand for people, there's a there's a risk calculation that
Speaker 1: has to be done here. There's a what's acceptable for
Speaker 1: each individual, but then there's also what's acceptable as as
Speaker 1: community risk, because this is about health beyond just every individual.
Speaker 1: This is about the risk to anyone that you come across,
Speaker 1: even if you don't have symptoms. Here is the New
Speaker 1: Orleans police making the rounds on Bourbon Street down to
Speaker 1: New Orleans and talking about or telling people that they
Speaker 1: got they gotta go home. You can't be out here
Speaker 1: in the streets. You can't be drinking. Here's what they
Speaker 1: had to say, Play twenty one. Your actions are jeopardizing
Speaker 1: public health or loud speakers, you cannot be out in
Speaker 1: the streets. For a lot of people, this is already
Speaker 1: feeling very orwelly. And I understand this the same way
Speaker 1: that the state after nine to eleven, which certainly changed
Speaker 1: my life. Nine eleven's why joined the CIA. The state
Speaker 1: increased its power, increased its spending, increased its authority in
Speaker 1: ways that were in some cases necessary, but in many
Speaker 1: cases completely I think in the long run unjustified, bad ideas.
Speaker 1: You don't want state power graphs, and when public health
Speaker 1: is in jeopardy like this. This is just alongside with
Speaker 1: a war scenario where the government in the past has
Speaker 1: rounded people up and put them into termin camps. This government,
Speaker 1: the United States government, has suspended habeas corpus. This government
Speaker 1: has done things that were flatly unconstitutional because of a crisis.
Speaker 1: We're going to see more of that. Where is the
Speaker 1: constitutional authority for a mayor, for a governor to shut
Speaker 1: down businesses, to shut down non government private entities that
Speaker 1: are not breaking any laws. Well, they're going to say
Speaker 1: it's under police powers, under public health authorities. In fact,
Speaker 1: you can go back to the very earliest days of
Speaker 1: the Republic, and quarantine is something that has always been
Speaker 1: with us. We've seemed to think in recent decades that
Speaker 1: we've beat this, that we're so advanced medically that we
Speaker 1: never have to worry about these things anymore. But go
Speaker 1: back and read about John Adams and the fear that
Speaker 1: was just tearing through the colonies and then the United
Speaker 1: States from what was it, I think seventeen seventy six
Speaker 1: until about seventeen eighty two eighty three, there was a
Speaker 1: smallpox epidemic that ripped through the States and that Adams
Speaker 1: himself and his family had to bear the brunt of it,
Speaker 1: along with of course many other founders at the time
Speaker 1: of Just if you've seen the John Adams series on HBO,
Speaker 1: you remember that there was a whole sequence where they
Speaker 1: were dealing with the smallpox outbreak and trying to fare
Speaker 1: out to do about that smallpox. I would notice the
Speaker 1: single I believe has been the single greatest killer of
Speaker 1: human beings in the New World since the founding of
Speaker 1: the New World. It was the thing that wiped out
Speaker 1: the most Native Americans. You've got about a thirty percent
Speaker 1: mortality rate before modern medicine from smallpox, So he had
Speaker 1: a one in three shot. But it's spread like wildfire
Speaker 1: and people were contagious for weeks with smallpox. So we've
Speaker 1: been here before in a sense, but it's been a
Speaker 1: while and we've lost We've lost that mentality that this
Speaker 1: is something we're gonna have to deal with. So this
Speaker 1: is going to be new, It's going to be unsettling. Now.
Speaker 1: I understand there's still a big debate out there, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into the media side of this. The
Speaker 1: media is such a disgrace when it comes. It's not
Speaker 1: all of them. Some people are taking this seriously. Some
Speaker 1: people who are journalists recognize that their family members, their
Speaker 1: loved ones, are also in the line of fire here.
Speaker 1: They understand that this isn't all hands on deck situation,
Speaker 1: and that there's plenty of time. We have an election
Speaker 1: coming up. Anyone who feels the need to blame Trump
Speaker 1: unnecessarily right now is a disgrace, dishonorable, and just completely childish.
Speaker 1: We have an election in what six months now, and
Speaker 1: that election will be the opportunity that all the American
Speaker 1: people have to pass judgment on how this administration handled
Speaker 1: this pandemic. We don't have to hear every day from
Speaker 1: psycho libs about how Trump is worse than Hitler, and
Speaker 1: if Joe Biden was in charge or Bernie Sanders was
Speaker 1: in charge, nobody would be dying right now. That's idiocy.
Speaker 1: There are people that are still sticking to that though,
Speaker 1: that we'd be in such better shape, we'd be so
Speaker 1: much better off if only somebody other than Donald Trump
Speaker 1: was the command or in chief. I think that we
Speaker 1: may have been saved from a wave of death in
Speaker 1: this country that will never really fully appreciate how much
Speaker 1: we are able to avoid just because of the flight
Speaker 1: the flight ban out of China, the travel ban. They
Speaker 1: won't give the president any credit for this, or we're
Speaker 1: gonna look this is thus story. There are other things
Speaker 1: I was on. When I say self quarantine by the way,
Speaker 1: referring to myself, just understand I have not been and
Speaker 1: you know, God forbid and say a prayer for me.
Speaker 1: I'm saying prayers for all of you. I've not been
Speaker 1: in contact with anybody confirmed a coronavirus, so I'm not
Speaker 1: in self quarantine because I feel i have to be.
Speaker 1: But we are being told in New York City that
Speaker 1: you got to stay indoors right now if you can
Speaker 1: go out for groceries. I'm gonna talk about that, by
Speaker 1: the way, because you know we're not allowed to do
Speaker 1: a lot of things. But you go into a grocery
Speaker 1: store around here and you're shoulder to shoulder with hundreds
Speaker 1: of people coughing, sneezing close quarters. It's not good. So
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say, but I'm not self quarantining because
Speaker 1: I have to. I'm semi quarantined, if you will. Like
Speaker 1: millions of other New Yorkers are now working from home
Speaker 1: doing everything that I can to help limit the spread
Speaker 1: of this as we all are. So this is going
Speaker 1: to be something that we're on for a while now.
Speaker 1: For my friends, this is like the quarantine freedom hunt,
Speaker 1: if you will. I mean, we are going to continue
Speaker 1: to talk to each other. The show will continue as
Speaker 1: I promise you it would, as normal. But this is
Speaker 1: a story that will continue on for at least weeks,
Speaker 1: probably months, similar to if we were fighting a major
Speaker 1: war against a foreign country. That's how much focus it
Speaker 1: will get. That's how much attention will be on this.
Speaker 1: Those of you who think that this is all still overblown,
Speaker 1: because I'm hearing from some of you. In fact, I
Speaker 1: was getting some criticism from the team over the weekend,
Speaker 1: and of course I'm reading through all. All I have
Speaker 1: time to do now is research. Do these shows provide
Speaker 1: you with the best information? And also, look, it's diversion
Speaker 1: for me, it's diversion for all of us. Right, we'll talk.
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you about what movies and TV shows
Speaker 1: and things and watching. Here. I cooked a roast terragon
Speaker 1: chicken that took hours. I mean it took like two
Speaker 1: and a half hours of cooking to get this thing done.
Speaker 1: It was amazing. But when you're stuck at home and
Speaker 1: you can't go out to restaurants, you can't go to
Speaker 1: a gym, you can't go to church, you can't go
Speaker 1: to a movie, now is when you start thinking. So
Speaker 1: we'll talk about things you can do at home as well.
Speaker 1: I mean, I want this to be the place that
Speaker 1: all of you can turn to every day. Now while
Speaker 1: we're facing this, and not only just get information and
Speaker 1: updates on everything, but also hopefully I can share some
Speaker 1: worthwhile thoughts about how we get through this together, and
Speaker 1: not just on the medical side, but what we're hoping
Speaker 1: to get on the other side of this. I still,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, and I'm gonna remind you of this
Speaker 1: that there will come a day when I sit down
Speaker 1: with producer Mark and we're drinking margaritas on the sidewalk
Speaker 1: in Tribeca and I'm saying, man, that was tough, but
Speaker 1: we made it through. God bless America. It will be
Speaker 1: May or June, it might not be to September or October,
Speaker 1: but we will get there. I can assure you of that,
Speaker 1: and I will keep that in mind as we as
Speaker 1: we do this show. But here's where we are. I mean,
Speaker 1: I have to now get you, get you to some
Speaker 1: of the what this country is facing. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think we all have a pretty serious trust in
Speaker 1: doctor Anthony Fauci, who's a head of CDC, And here's
Speaker 1: what he is saying as of the weekend prous of
Speaker 1: Mark Play five. Then you say, as we heard that
Speaker 1: the virus may continue to get worse for another two months,
Speaker 1: there's been estimates of hundreds of thousands of people in
Speaker 1: the US who can die or in the worst case scenario, millions.
Speaker 1: Can you tell the American people that that is possible?
Speaker 1: You know it's possible because when you do a model,
Speaker 1: you have a worst case scenario, the best case scenario,
Speaker 1: and the reality is how you react to that will
Speaker 1: depend where you're going to be on that curve. So
Speaker 1: obviously we are lague going to have more infections, there's
Speaker 1: going to be more problems with regard to morbidity and mortality.
Speaker 1: The challenge we have right now is how do we
Speaker 1: blunt that. You know, I've said many times, if you
Speaker 1: just leave it alone and let the virus to its
Speaker 1: own devices, it'll go way up and then it'll come
Speaker 1: down naturally over a period of several weeks. So that's
Speaker 1: where we are. We're trying to prevent that from happening.
Speaker 1: Those of you that think that this is overblown, I
Speaker 1: hope you're right if we don't see anything in the
Speaker 1: weeks ahead that justifies this degree. Because I was getting
Speaker 1: your complaints and I understand people. Some people think that
Speaker 1: this is still completely exaggerated. The risk is novel we're
Speaker 1: being led to believe. If that is the case, we
Speaker 1: also will have time for the great reckoning with the
Speaker 1: media and with efforts to undo this administration bring it down.
Speaker 1: Because of the pathetic Democrat field they have. They know
Speaker 1: that they were in bad shape before this, and they
Speaker 1: also are very many of them, at least in the
Speaker 1: media and the Democrat apparatus the left. They are rooting
Speaker 1: against the country. That's true, some more openly than others.
Speaker 1: Some were celebrating today when you had a dow at
Speaker 1: below twenty one thousand. I guess they think that everybody
Speaker 1: was a four oh one k is a bad person
Speaker 1: and a fat cat that deserves to feel pain. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is this is appalling stuff that we are seeing.
Speaker 1: I hope that those of you who think this is
Speaker 1: overblown are correct. I'm no longer in the prediction business here.
Speaker 1: I just don't know. I've been as optimistic about this
Speaker 1: as I can be in good conscience all along. I
Speaker 1: continue to be optimistic, but I'm also now telling you
Speaker 1: that I limit my exposure outdoors for the next few days,
Speaker 1: maybe the next few weeks, to getting food and tending
Speaker 1: to family members of mine who can't go out because
Speaker 1: of their age. That's it. That's what I do. So
Speaker 1: I hope you're right. I'm not sure where this is
Speaker 1: going to shake out. We have to take this as
Speaker 1: seriously as the health authorities are saying for now, and
Speaker 1: we'll see. But all you have to do is look
Speaker 1: at what's going on in Italy and what's happening right
Speaker 1: now in Spain and in France and in the UK,
Speaker 1: and it's deeply concerning. You're in the Freedom, Hud. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. It might make
Speaker 1: a point that people sometimes think that you're overreacting. I
Speaker 1: like it when people are thinking I'm overreacting because that
Speaker 1: means we're doing it just right. He's telling you to overreact.
Speaker 1: This guy, let's understand this. I mean, he is basically
Speaker 1: lived for this moment, meaning him and he was put
Speaker 1: on earth. You've got to think, if you've spent decades
Speaker 1: as an infectious disease specialist studying pandemics, working on pandemics,
Speaker 1: as doctor Fauci has, this is your this is your fight.
Speaker 1: This is why he has done all the things that
Speaker 1: he's done. Now I can appreciate that he is willing
Speaker 1: to say that this might feel like an overreaction to
Speaker 1: some people, and that that's where he wants this to be.
Speaker 1: This is what I've been saying along Trump is telling us.
Speaker 1: And then we'll get into the media narratives around this.
Speaker 1: Trump has been telling us, Look, guys, we gotta we're serious,
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be okay. And the media says, oh,
Speaker 1: he's down playing it and everything else, and they just
Speaker 1: look what the health authorities say. Yeah, the health authorities
Speaker 1: are going to tell you that you should behave in
Speaker 1: order to avoid a worst case scenario, because a worst
Speaker 1: case scenario is possible, they can't tell you. You You know,
Speaker 1: it's the same reason why at some level you got
Speaker 1: to have at the bottom of advertisements that show people
Speaker 1: doing crazy things. You know, don't do this at home.
Speaker 1: Who really needs to be told that, Well, you know,
Speaker 1: they gotta they gotta gauge it so that no one,
Speaker 1: no matter how foolish somebody maybe, no one can blame
Speaker 1: them and say, well, you told me this would be okay.
Speaker 1: You told me to take my mountain bike and try
Speaker 1: to jump fifteen cars that were on fire or whatever
Speaker 1: and put it on my Instagram story. Now that's what
Speaker 1: they're that's what they're dealing with people that are acting
Speaker 1: like this is no big deal at all, and I
Speaker 1: have to say that's I'm seeing more and more stories
Speaker 1: that make me think, not only is it a big
Speaker 1: deal for people that are in the high risk category,
Speaker 1: it's a problem for anybody to get this disease right now.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the bus sets and show podcasts.
Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. I have a compromise immune system,
Speaker 1: but I'm still in twenty one. But I'm not even
Speaker 1: worried because I just take supplements and like, I self medicate,
Speaker 1: so it's fine. They see, that's not a good idea,
Speaker 1: that's not a smart move, that's not a good place
Speaker 1: for this to be right now. And it's it's troubling
Speaker 1: to me that we have people running around saying things
Speaker 1: like I take enough supplements, so I'm not worried about this. Remember,
Speaker 1: even if you're not worried for yourself, you have to
Speaker 1: be worried for those in the high risk population. And
Speaker 1: you can't self regulate whether or not you're contagious because
Speaker 1: there's a lot of information out there already that for
Speaker 1: a few weeks. You can be perhaps contagious without even
Speaker 1: having any symptoms, without knowing anything about what's going on.
Speaker 1: So people need to keep that in mind as well.
Speaker 1: And younger people will get this. But there are stories
Speaker 1: out there, and I was speaking to an MD. Look, yeah,
Speaker 1: everyone's now speaking to all the mds they know, So
Speaker 1: this isn't some insider track thing. Every doctor that I know,
Speaker 1: when I can, I ask them about this. And you know,
Speaker 1: there are a few major stressors on the system that
Speaker 1: we're trying to avoid. We keep hearing about the ventilators
Speaker 1: and the masks, and you know, those are important issues
Speaker 1: to be sure. There's a fascinating story out of Italy
Speaker 1: about how a hospital was about to run out of
Speaker 1: some piece of equipment for the ventilators and a private
Speaker 1: company came along with a three D printer and just
Speaker 1: started making that piece for the ventilators. And who knows
Speaker 1: how many people that that one act of having that
Speaker 1: three D printer, Thank you capitalism, may have saved. And
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm also trying to spend more of
Speaker 1: the beginning of the show. I don't want to make
Speaker 1: this as nonpartisan a discussion from the outset as we
Speaker 1: can and then I'm going to have to push back
Speaker 1: on the partisan garbage. But I'm always going to try
Speaker 1: to invert the pyramid a little bit for what's essentially
Speaker 1: a political talk show, which is what I'm doing here.
Speaker 1: Focus on the realities of this disease, what we're facing
Speaker 1: and what's going on first, and then get into you know,
Speaker 1: I'm going to try this as much as much as
Speaker 1: I can, but young people can get this. Oh. What
Speaker 1: I was saying about the the stressor points is that
Speaker 1: if you start getting health professionals who are getting this now,
Speaker 1: that's really that because now your frontline treatment folks they're
Speaker 1: taken offline. Some of them will end up in the ICU.
Speaker 1: I mean, if some of the best doctors are going
Speaker 1: to be people who are in their fifties and sixties,
Speaker 1: and if they're taken offline now, you're losing your ability
Speaker 1: to help people that will have breathing and we'll be
Speaker 1: in emergency rooms and be in real distress. Because everybody
Speaker 1: knows right now you don't want to go to the er.
Speaker 1: You go if you need to, which is always true,
Speaker 1: I know, but in particular right now, you want to
Speaker 1: make sure that you're keeping it at that threshold of
Speaker 1: you're worried realistically, not worried just because you worry a lot.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a guy who can sometimes worry more
Speaker 1: than I should. I know what that's like. So supplements
Speaker 1: are not some that will stop this. Do stay healthy
Speaker 1: as much as you can in terms of keeping your
Speaker 1: immune system strong. That's very very important here. The spread
Speaker 1: of this disease is certainly affected by the immunity of
Speaker 1: every individual that it comes into contact with. It's also
Speaker 1: a reminder that the medical community doesn't know nearly as
Speaker 1: much about a lot of things as we would like
Speaker 1: them too, which were really what I've been saying. You know,
Speaker 1: we've felt like we're pretty safe for a while. We
Speaker 1: had the sars and mirrors and these things that that
Speaker 1: really blew over quickly. This one doesn't seem like it's
Speaker 1: going to blow over quickly, and so that's why you have.
Speaker 1: Now let me get into the draconian steps. What's going
Speaker 1: on right now. One of the big ones is the
Speaker 1: closing of businesses, which I've been talking to you about,
Speaker 1: and that's that's gonna be tough. I don't really know
Speaker 1: how that will end up affecting restaurants, they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to keep paying their rent. They've got no income. Maybe
Speaker 1: they can do some takeout business and pickup business, but
Speaker 1: it's going to be very hard to meet. You know.
Speaker 1: They're real bread and butter. For most places, at least
Speaker 1: most brick and mortar restaurants in New York City is
Speaker 1: going to be dining in the place. Waiters make most
Speaker 1: of their money off of the servers rather, pardon me,
Speaker 1: make most their money off of tips that's going away,
Speaker 1: and a lot of the big ticket meals, you know, things.
Speaker 1: People aren't going to order a bottle of wine from
Speaker 1: a restaurant necessarily, especially if you've got some at home already,
Speaker 1: and they do a huge markup on that, So a
Speaker 1: lot of the booze beer. This is how restaurants make money,
Speaker 1: so how they stay in business. You know, while maybe
Speaker 1: making a little tint of chicken tenders for you to
Speaker 1: take out, it gets them by the way, you should
Speaker 1: do that. I'm not saying that that's not a good idea,
Speaker 1: not only because chicken tenders are delicious, but also because
Speaker 1: you need to keep revenue going for places. But there's
Speaker 1: no way to make up for the loss of revenue.
Speaker 1: That's going on right now in these restaurants, and we
Speaker 1: keep hearing from the federal government about how they're gonna
Speaker 1: help places pay for what they have to and give
Speaker 1: them no interest loans and all this. Look, the Fed
Speaker 1: has basically done all that it can do, and the
Speaker 1: markets looked at it and said not good enough. That's concerning.
Speaker 1: So there's there's the economic cost of this from these
Speaker 1: draconian measures. And by the way, I'm calling them draconian,
Speaker 1: not necessarily because and I think that comes from draco
Speaker 1: a Greek, a Greek tyrant. I think I'm right about that.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but DraCos maybe. But the step
Speaker 1: that's going to get a lot of people, at least
Speaker 1: here in New York City really really concerned, that's just
Speaker 1: happening right now is the closing of public schools play
Speaker 1: clip four. So I regret to have to announce that
Speaker 1: as of tomorrow, our public schools will be closed. In
Speaker 1: other words, to all parents who are hearing this now,
Speaker 1: there is no school tomorrow, and we will be suspending
Speaker 1: our public schools until after the spring vacation. And I'm
Speaker 1: going to say this very precisely. We will make a
Speaker 1: first attempt to restart our schools on Monday, April twentieth.
Speaker 1: But I have to be honest that we're dealing with
Speaker 1: a lot of unknowns and a lot of challenges. What
Speaker 1: he's saying here the mayor of New York, and he's
Speaker 1: been mediocre in the way that he's talking in his
Speaker 1: response at a time when this is showing you who
Speaker 1: people that are in politics who claim to be leaders.
Speaker 1: You're seeing if that's true right now. You're seeing if
Speaker 1: they're really leaders or if they're hacks. Some people are
Speaker 1: stepping up. Some Democrats are doing better than I would
Speaker 1: have expected based upon how wrong they are about so
Speaker 1: many other policies. But this is this is a really
Speaker 1: straightforward mission. Keep people safe, keep people from dying. We're
Speaker 1: all in this together. Couldn't be any more clear in
Speaker 1: terms of a mission statement. Some politicians, I think are
Speaker 1: rising to this moment. Others continue to be the partisan
Speaker 1: clowns they've always been, and I guess we should expect
Speaker 1: that at some level. But de Blasio saying that schools
Speaker 1: are closing down here in New right and by the way,
Speaker 1: I know I can't speak to individual closures across that
Speaker 1: because there's so many places now I don't even know
Speaker 1: how many states have had closures. I think every single
Speaker 1: state in the Union except for or know, every single
Speaker 1: state of our fifty except for West Virginia actually has
Speaker 1: had a confirmed case as I go to air here,
Speaker 1: although I'm sure that I'll probably West Virginia will probably
Speaker 1: have its first case, you know, today sometime. And we're
Speaker 1: looking at thousands and thousands of confirmed cases across the country.
Speaker 1: So schools are shutting down all over the place. That's
Speaker 1: probably a good idea based on if you look at
Speaker 1: the history, for example, of trying to stop the spread
Speaker 1: of Spanish flu, which I guess what are we supposed
Speaker 1: to call that? Now? Is it racist to call it
Speaker 1: Spanish flu? Wasn't even really from Spain. In fact, might
Speaker 1: have started here and it made its way over there
Speaker 1: because of trench warfare in the First World War and
Speaker 1: then spread among soldiers and anyway, there's not they're not
Speaker 1: really sure where it came from. But any but what
Speaker 1: we're facing here with the shutdown of the schools is
Speaker 1: taking the lessons that would have been learned previously from
Speaker 1: epidemics like the Spanish flu, and say, okay, places that
Speaker 1: did the big shutdowns fared much better. That's that's the
Speaker 1: lessons learned being applied here. But it's amazing when you
Speaker 1: start to think about how dependent so many communities are
Speaker 1: on the public school system for more than just educating children.
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to try to get into a hole,
Speaker 1: you know, teaching our children to be little statuss and everything,
Speaker 1: because that's what public schools, unfortunately do. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of brainwashing and ideological nonsense that goes on. But there's
Speaker 1: also the reality of children meaning public schools for food
Speaker 1: here in New York City. And this is a stunning figure,
Speaker 1: and I want to know how they come to it
Speaker 1: and what the real parameters of it are because the
Speaker 1: numbers so high. They say they're over a one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand homeless children. Now by that, I think they mean
Speaker 1: children that don't have one specific home to go to.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that they're one hundred thousand children living on
Speaker 1: the street, obviously, but they put this number out there.
Speaker 1: I think our home insecure is another way to put it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they're with grandmas, sometimes they're with an uncle, sometimes
Speaker 1: they're with a friend, and they rely on the public
Speaker 1: school system for food because they're not they can't count
Speaker 1: on being fed wherever it is that they're going to
Speaker 1: be sleeping on any give a night. So they're trying
Speaker 1: to leave open public schools here in New York so
Speaker 1: that people have a place to get a meal, kids
Speaker 1: have a place to get a meal. A big problem
Speaker 1: with shutting down the school is other than the loss
Speaker 1: of study time. Although I do think that this is
Speaker 1: going to be something of an awakening for a lot
Speaker 1: of people who have never thought about homeschooling or just
Speaker 1: never really thought about how much learning can really be
Speaker 1: done at home. There is going to be a change
Speaker 1: in that in that perception, what do you really what
Speaker 1: are your kids really learning in public school? Would it
Speaker 1: be better if you had modules that you were doing
Speaker 1: at home, or if you set up with other parents
Speaker 1: some kind of version of a would be like your
Speaker 1: own homeschool slash charter school. I mean, this is charter
Speaker 1: schools or public schools with a different operating a parameter.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, you see what I'm saying. I mean, there
Speaker 1: must be ways, and I think there will be ways
Speaker 1: that people try to adapt to this. But also, the
Speaker 1: public school system is really the state's massive childcare program.
Speaker 1: It's it's really taxpayer funded For a lot of people,
Speaker 1: it's taxpayer funded babysitting because you have a lot of
Speaker 1: single parent households, and you have a lot where the
Speaker 1: parent has to work, and you have a lot of
Speaker 1: double two parent double parent households, two parent households where
Speaker 1: both parents have to work and so and they can't
Speaker 1: afford childcare. So without the public schools and session, I
Speaker 1: wonder what's going to go on here? I mean, you
Speaker 1: are going to see real changes in behavior. Because remember
Speaker 1: it's not like people are on vacation. They can't go
Speaker 1: they can't go and hang out with their friends, you know,
Speaker 1: at the ball field. They can't go to a movie together.
Speaker 1: They can't hang out at the mall. That's not happening.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be at home. People are gonna be stuck
Speaker 1: in homes, assuming they obey these the guidance from public
Speaker 1: health authorities, which I also think public health authorities have
Speaker 1: about two weeks max I in my estimate, again this
Speaker 1: is just my analysis of it. And then they got
Speaker 1: about two weeks weeks max. Where if we don't see
Speaker 1: that their precautions are warranted, there's a very serious possibility
Speaker 1: that people are just gonna say now I'm done, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stay, I'm gonna live my life. I'm not doing
Speaker 1: this anymore. So that's why I'm willing to give it
Speaker 1: a go right now and do as much as I
Speaker 1: can based on the guidelines as they're talking about them.
Speaker 1: I mean, I also have to be responsible to the
Speaker 1: fact that if I were to say, or if anybody
Speaker 1: walked into not just my radio studio, but anywhere at iHeartMedia,
Speaker 1: which a very large company that I work for. It's
Speaker 1: the company that syndicates my radio show, if I were
Speaker 1: to go in or if anywhere to go in and
Speaker 1: have wuhan virus, which I know. Now, there's all these
Speaker 1: different ways people that like to say, you can't call
Speaker 1: it that call it coronavirus, or coronavirus is very nonspecific,
Speaker 1: and that's not going to be the eventual termament I
Speaker 1: think we end up using, if you want to be
Speaker 1: scientifically correct, they they call it SARS cove two, So
Speaker 1: you could call it SARS cove two, or you could
Speaker 1: call the actual disease that SARS cove two causes, COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1: But we tend to call things what we're going to
Speaker 1: call them, and I think we should call it Wuhan virus,
Speaker 1: and I think that China does bear a lot of
Speaker 1: responsibility for lying about this in this whole process. But
Speaker 1: we don't have that much time before people start saying,
Speaker 1: we're just they're not going to comply, They're not going
Speaker 1: to deal with this anymore. So we'll see if these
Speaker 1: dire warnings about the US being at the beginning of
Speaker 1: this ramp up of cases that we are seeing in
Speaker 1: the UK, we are seeing in Spain, We've already seen
Speaker 1: it in Italy to horrific effect. We'll see if it
Speaker 1: ends up being the case that these predictions of massive
Speaker 1: spike in these predictions of massive spikes in cases across
Speaker 1: the country end up happening, because if they don't, people
Speaker 1: are going to start saying, I will not comply, and
Speaker 1: I won't be able to blame them at that point,
Speaker 1: not that I blame anyone now, because who really knows
Speaker 1: what's going on. You're in the freedom hid This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. But with regard to testing,
Speaker 1: as we expand testing, we're so pleased that Congress joined
Speaker 1: with our administration to make sure the cost is never
Speaker 1: going to be a barrier to anyone getting a coronavirus test.
Speaker 1: As you recall, several weeks ago, the President directed a
Speaker 1: change in our Medicare and Medicaid programs to ensure the
Speaker 1: coronavirus testing was included. Health insurers were brought in, they
Speaker 1: all agreed to wave copays. But because of the good
Speaker 1: bipartisan work done in the House of Representatives, now all
Speaker 1: coronavirus testing is free, and it's free for every American,
Speaker 1: including uninsured Americans, And we continue to urge passage of
Speaker 1: the legislation that will be considered by the Senate this week.
Speaker 1: It's a good idea government doing some things right, it
Speaker 1: seems here, Yeah, you should make this corona test free.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind when we start the war. Analogy here
Speaker 1: is useful because you think about how much we spend
Speaker 1: on a fire and a few cruise missiles at a
Speaker 1: Taliban encampment somewhere in Afghanistan. Don't get me started on
Speaker 1: while we're still fighting that war, But think about how
Speaker 1: that money will just get spent. And everyone say, yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's necessary for US national security. If testing is
Speaker 1: very expensing, testing turns out to be a very expensive proposition,
Speaker 1: it's worth it. And I think we all have to
Speaker 1: accept that. I think we all have to understand that
Speaker 1: knowing who has this to the degree that we can
Speaker 1: is very useful to its very useful to its containment
Speaker 1: and team. I also will want to hear a lot
Speaker 1: from you all across the country. You know, we're going
Speaker 1: to be doing obviously roll call every day, as we
Speaker 1: always do. I am trying to find a way and
Speaker 1: I might just do it myself. I might just get
Speaker 1: the gear so that I could start having you call
Speaker 1: in and leave a message for the show and we'll
Speaker 1: play them on air. Were working on that too, because
Speaker 1: I want this to be an ongoing conversation with Deing
Speaker 1: all of us. We're in this together, but we're also
Speaker 1: seeing different policies, different levels of outbreak all across the
Speaker 1: country and this show well. Certainly digitally, you can always
Speaker 1: listen to the iHeart app. You can listen anywhere in
Speaker 1: the country, really anywhere in the world you have Internet.
Speaker 1: But on terrestrial radio we're in I can think of
Speaker 1: maybe a handful of small states that we don't have
Speaker 1: an affiliate station, and but I can't even name them
Speaker 1: off top of my head. So we're all over the country.
Speaker 1: I want to hear from all of you. What's going
Speaker 1: on where you are, how are you feeling? You know,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about my firsthand experiences here in New
Speaker 1: York where I mean, I spend a lot of time still.
Speaker 1: I live in Midtown Manhattan, so I live right in
Speaker 1: the middle of this whole mess of the five boroughs
Speaker 1: of the biggest city in the country. And it was
Speaker 1: quiet this weekend. There are not a lot of people
Speaker 1: in the streets. It felt like I was in a
Speaker 1: different city. And the only place where you felt like
Speaker 1: there was a lot of activity where the grocery stores,
Speaker 1: and then you see the buying habits of people under duress.
Speaker 1: And I'm somebody who's been an advocate for preparedness in
Speaker 1: the past. I've had preparedness sponsors that I'm very thankful for, because, yeah,
Speaker 1: those were good moves if people people took me up
Speaker 1: on the opportunity to get to get prepared and stored
Speaker 1: up for an uncertain situation like this. But I want
Speaker 1: to solve to share our firsthand and what we're seeing
Speaker 1: and what we're feeling and talking about here because this
Speaker 1: is the big one, my friends, This is going to
Speaker 1: take some time to work through. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,
Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: I want to take a look at this picture. You
Speaker 1: actually touched the same podium. I'm sure you've seen this
Speaker 1: in microphone as the president in other CEOs. Even at
Speaker 1: the same time the vice president has taken a test
Speaker 1: for corona virus or the president has tested negative. I
Speaker 1: should say, has vice president pants? Have you taken a
Speaker 1: test or you're going to take a test? No, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not taking a test for the summer reason. I
Speaker 1: have no symptoms. I have not I'm practicing pretty good
Speaker 1: social distance. I don't go to it, but it's hard
Speaker 1: to I only do it is but not everybody in
Speaker 1: the United States should take a test. I mean, I
Speaker 1: have no symptoms. There's no reason for me to take
Speaker 1: a test. If I'm in a situation where I'm at
Speaker 1: a higher risk, I will take a test. The picture
Speaker 1: you showed about the microphone, let's get real here. I
Speaker 1: mean there are certain things that you have to do.
Speaker 1: If I left the microphone at that you would see
Speaker 1: nothing but the microphone. My putting my two fingers to
Speaker 1: get the microphone down isn't that bad, so I don't
Speaker 1: think we should make something of that. I'd like to
Speaker 1: see people more doing this as opposed to shaking hand.
Speaker 1: What the heck does a CNN anchor somebody reads off
Speaker 1: a teleprompter? Basically, I think she's doing badgering the head
Speaker 1: of the CDC about whether or not he has been tested.
Speaker 1: Does she think I'm just wondering? Does she think she
Speaker 1: has better judgment about this? I really think this one
Speaker 1: through for a second, CNN, because I would like to
Speaker 1: get to a place where we can just focus on
Speaker 1: this as people without any nonsense, without any games, without
Speaker 1: any partisan crap. But she and n's making that pretty hard,
Speaker 1: along with some others, clearly doing what they can to
Speaker 1: make the response to this seem like it's unacceptable. The
Speaker 1: response somehow is inept, and they want the panic to
Speaker 1: be even greater than it already is. I don't think
Speaker 1: we need CNN to be telling us that this is
Speaker 1: serious anymore. We get it, we get it, but they're
Speaker 1: not being serious because they can't help but score political points.
Speaker 1: There is this mentality, and let's just be honest about it.
Speaker 1: There is this mentality that finally the psycho left is
Speaker 1: getting its way. They can't help it. It It comes out
Speaker 1: in their coverage. They celebrate when the Dow plummets, They
Speaker 1: celebrate when stock markets getting crushed, when businesses are being
Speaker 1: told to shut down, when airlines are just losing their butts.
Speaker 1: Right now, I mean, they're they're like, yeah, see, Trump's
Speaker 1: so bad. It's a global pandemic. Yamorns is the leadership
Speaker 1: of the UK, of Spain, of Italy, name a country, China,
Speaker 1: or they're all just inepts and buffoons. They're all dealing
Speaker 1: with this. There are now more countries than anybody can
Speaker 1: name off the top of their head that have cases
Speaker 1: of this, and we're just now seeing how bad it's
Speaker 1: going to get. But they already want to They already
Speaker 1: want to celebrate the failure of this country to be
Speaker 1: able to beat this thing quickly because they think it
Speaker 1: hurts frump. It's disgusting. And that's also why the the
Speaker 1: complaint two weeks ago, as I remember it might have
Speaker 1: even been until last week, was a Trump with silencing experts.
Speaker 1: Now you get experts going on CNN to you know,
Speaker 1: like doctor Fauci, the the most well known of all
Speaker 1: infectious disease experts in this country, and he's being told,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, why aren't you getting a test? Why
Speaker 1: aren't you doing what I think you should do? Here?
Speaker 1: You know, they were complaining about Trump last weeknight. Aren't
Speaker 1: you being selfish? That was what was asked at a
Speaker 1: press conference, A moronic question. Okay, so Trump got a test,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have it. There's also a difference here because
Speaker 1: these individuals who are coordinating the effort, they have to
Speaker 1: be in meetings, they have to be out there rallying
Speaker 1: the troops. Then they don't have the luxury of just
Speaker 1: preventative self quarantine without any real symptoms or any real
Speaker 1: reason to believe they've been directly exposed in a way.
Speaker 1: You know, there's different protocols or different people. But there
Speaker 1: you had a not particularly bright CNN journalist going at
Speaker 1: it with doctor Fauci himself over you know, why are
Speaker 1: you getting tested? Why why don't you do these things
Speaker 1: that I want you to? Because he's trying to stop
Speaker 1: thousands of people from dying. Thanks CNN, good job. They're
Speaker 1: absolutely insane. But I need to give you some examples
Speaker 1: of this. Now, this is real, it's out there. Jennifer Rubin,
Speaker 1: who has who's really a performance artist who's built a
Speaker 1: career pretending to be a conservative to debase conservatism and
Speaker 1: for the amusement of the left and the amusement of
Speaker 1: media elites who think that it's just so fantastic that
Speaker 1: she's calling herself a true conservative while doing nothing but
Speaker 1: undermining conservatives at every possible opportunity. Here is what Jennifer
Speaker 1: Rubin has to say about where her mind is right
Speaker 1: now on this whole thing. Play clip three. There's also
Speaker 1: Washington Post piece that talks about the fact that older
Speaker 1: Americans are more worried about coronavirus unless they're Republican. Jennifer
Speaker 1: that we now have a situation where Trump's own people
Speaker 1: are actually in greater danger, but those of us who
Speaker 1: live in this earth can reach them. They're not listening
Speaker 1: to anything that any of us say, including someone like
Speaker 1: you was a former Republican. You can't reach them. No,
Speaker 1: And there is a particular cruelty irony that it is
Speaker 1: their core viewers, the Republican owned reviewers, as Eric said,
Speaker 1: who are the most at risk. And when you think
Speaker 1: about it, which party immediately canceled all of their rallies?
Speaker 1: Which party immediately started having their political figures really portray
Speaker 1: and use their lives as an example, it was the Democrats.
Speaker 1: So they're going to be I hate to put it
Speaker 1: in these terms, They're going to be less Democrat deaths
Speaker 1: because of there being less mass gatherings. There will be
Speaker 1: less opportunities for people to congregate and share this horrible disease.
Speaker 1: So it is a really a very shortsighted strategy. But
Speaker 1: I think now the name of the game is how
Speaker 1: do they get back on planet Earth? Disgusting and really stupid,
Speaker 1: and I don't think anyone needs me to explain that.
Speaker 1: This is what it's called all the crowd disease. That
Speaker 1: is what you can refer to measles moms flew. This
Speaker 1: crowd disease spreads because of population density. Who is really
Speaker 1: most at risk from this disease? If we're talking about
Speaker 1: general population cities. But I'm not even gonna go there
Speaker 1: and do this breakdown of political affiliation. She's saying there's
Speaker 1: gonna be more Republican deaths. Who thinks about it that way?
Speaker 1: Who does that? It's so idiotic, it's so dumb, and
Speaker 1: it also I think is showing us that she's not
Speaker 1: the only one who feels this way. I mean, there
Speaker 1: are other people in the media that have platforms that
Speaker 1: are raised as ex rat Jennifer Rubert's an expert in nothing,
Speaker 1: but there are other people that based on the way
Speaker 1: they cover this and the way they talk about this,
Speaker 1: it's quite clear that they think there's a little bit
Speaker 1: of a like, yeah, Trump, this whole situation. He's such
Speaker 1: a buffoon. He kind of deserves to have to deal
Speaker 1: with this, and you know, his supporters they deserve. It's like,
Speaker 1: we're all in this together. You warns, How can you
Speaker 1: think that this is about political party? Trump had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with this virus. Trump didn't cause it. It's
Speaker 1: not a response to Trump, is um this is yet
Speaker 1: another virus coming out of China because of Chinese practices
Speaker 1: of selling rare animals. But more to the point, actually,
Speaker 1: it's usually that the way that Chinese handle livestock in
Speaker 1: such enormous numbers, and there's a lot of people that
Speaker 1: are close to large numbers of livestock, and so it
Speaker 1: provides the zoonotic transmission nodes that allow diseases to jump
Speaker 1: from the animal population animal reservoir. I think they call it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes everyone's obviously, I'm reading so much about disease these days.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm that guy doctor House who just
Speaker 1: walks home like, wow, maybe I'll fix you, but also
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make fun of you. First. You remember that
Speaker 1: that show. It's actually a pretty good, pretty good show.
Speaker 1: Massive Attack in the theme song, it's the name of
Speaker 1: the band. So yeah, man, I mean, here we are, here,
Speaker 1: we are trying to figure out out what to do
Speaker 1: about this, and you have these Democrat, these Democrat buffoons.
Speaker 1: I mean, Jennifer Rubin, former Republican. That's amazing that she
Speaker 1: would have believed in a political ideology for all of
Speaker 1: her life until you know, I don't know, She's probably
Speaker 1: in her late forties, early fifties, and now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden she figures out she was wrong. That's pretty remarkable,
Speaker 1: isn't it what has been done so far? If we're
Speaker 1: really going to take a oh wait, wait wait, Before
Speaker 1: I get to that, here's another one that I just
Speaker 1: I could not help but say, you know, there are
Speaker 1: people that are specifically using this opportunity to try to
Speaker 1: dunk not just on the Trump administration, but on anybody
Speaker 1: who's ever supported Trump. Keep in mind, I sit here
Speaker 1: as someone who's a Trump supporter in the media, I've
Speaker 1: been right without exception on everything having to do with Russia,
Speaker 1: Trump collusion, on everything that was going on with impeachment,
Speaker 1: what a sham, what a joke it was, and you know,
Speaker 1: the whole all these things. We've been on the right
Speaker 1: side of that. On the Trump economy, Trump tax cuts,
Speaker 1: Trump border policy, Trump foreign policy, all these different issues.
Speaker 1: We've been right on this, and the detractors, the haters,
Speaker 1: as Trump says, have been wrong. And the media is
Speaker 1: livid about this because even though they're supporters, their viewers
Speaker 1: at places like MSNBC and CNN don't really deal with
Speaker 1: any realistic accounting of the truth. They just would rather
Speaker 1: believe what they believe. There is still an anger at
Speaker 1: those of us who have been able to say, well,
Speaker 1: we're right, you're wrong, and so we're definitely not gonna
Speaker 1: pretend like you were right this whole time about things
Speaker 1: like Russia Trump collusion. Here's an MSNBC guest who just
Speaker 1: uses this as an opportunity to take a cheap shot
Speaker 1: at Fox News, but not a cheap shot like they're
Speaker 1: wrong or I don't like you need to hear this
Speaker 1: cheap shot for yourself play eighteen. Look. Fox News has
Speaker 1: been getting people killed for years. I mean, just looking
Speaker 1: through crusade against affordable healthcare and the crusade against expanding Medicaid.
Speaker 1: This is not unusual for them. It's far more dire.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been watching and documenting Fox News for
Speaker 1: fifteen years. I mean, they are a cancer on this country.
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. So who knows what they're
Speaker 1: gonna do? You know, they're they're programming is to vilify
Speaker 1: uh stir, hatred and paranoia. And if they're gonna you know,
Speaker 1: if it's a pandemic, it's the backdrop, then they're gonna
Speaker 1: do it. M getting people killed Fox News. That's what
Speaker 1: this guy says. Do you think MSNBC chides him for
Speaker 1: this at all? You think he gets called into the
Speaker 1: Executive Bruge's office. Hey, maybe maybe you should slow slow
Speaker 1: your role on that a little bit now, of course not.
Speaker 1: He's giving the MSNBC anti Trump Derange left exactly what
Speaker 1: they want. You can't you can't be anti Trump enough
Speaker 1: for them. That That's where we've been now for years.
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as too anti Trump. Trump is
Speaker 1: responsible for anything and everything. He's the worst thing to
Speaker 1: ever happened to the universe. Oh my god, he's so terrible.
Speaker 1: This is where they are. This is the reality of
Speaker 1: how they present their their experts on TV, so called
Speaker 1: experts on TV. It's it's astonishing. Um, there are rumors,
Speaker 1: by the way going around of a national curfew. Now
Speaker 1: as I'm on air, this is where we are, folks,
Speaker 1: we're seeing that. There was also yesterday, Um, there were
Speaker 1: there were rumors going around about this on I think
Speaker 1: there was even a text message scam. I don't even
Speaker 1: know how it's supposed to work, but about national quarantine
Speaker 1: to national mandatory quarantine for everybody, and that domestic airspace
Speaker 1: is going to be shut down. And look, there are
Speaker 1: some steps that are pretty extreme that are being considered
Speaker 1: that I've heard about them being considered. I've also just
Speaker 1: thought about it. And it's likely there's a reason why
Speaker 1: I set up the mobile freedom hunt last week, because
Speaker 1: I knew that this was going to get much worse. Um.
Speaker 1: And when you by the way, there's there's it gets
Speaker 1: much worse because of the disease, and then there's also
Speaker 1: it gets much much worse. These are these are two
Speaker 1: separate but related concepts just because of our response to
Speaker 1: it too. The response can make things much worse, many
Speaker 1: more shutdowns, far greater movement restrictions. Proucer, Mark, what's the
Speaker 1: latest does New Jersey have? Do we have confirmation that
Speaker 1: did New Jersey? Now? Because states remember, you gotta they
Speaker 1: have you gotta remember, they have police power, so they'll
Speaker 1: do things that the federal government can't really constitutionally do
Speaker 1: without declaring martial law. I mean there's possecamatatas. There are
Speaker 1: these restrictions what the federal federal government can do. States
Speaker 1: under police powers can do a lot um. Do we
Speaker 1: know about New Jersey? Yeah? New Jersey has a non
Speaker 1: essential traveled man between eight am, eight pm and five am.
Speaker 1: So pruser, Mark, you you're able to move around until
Speaker 1: eight o'clock because you're a New Jersey resident now right, Yes,
Speaker 1: that's don't ask me to come to the Freedom Hut
Speaker 1: early in the morning. I guess, yeah, I guess you
Speaker 1: can't get here super early. You know, Mark, Mark has
Speaker 1: quite the work ethic, but he's not gonna be allowed
Speaker 1: to show up and spend four hours of prep. Doesn't
Speaker 1: work out with the timing of it. So there's going
Speaker 1: to be more of these of these ch changes, for sure,
Speaker 1: more of these look lockdown. That's where we are. But
Speaker 1: Mike Pence, who is the coordinator of this whole response
Speaker 1: at this point, he's out there telling everybody that we
Speaker 1: got to remember, you know where we are now and
Speaker 1: where we would be if we hadn't taken some drastic
Speaker 1: measures early on play clip seven. Well, everything that the
Speaker 1: White House Coronavirus Task Force does is at the direction
Speaker 1: of the President of the United States. All the efforts
Speaker 1: of all federal agencies and cooperation with state governments and
Speaker 1: local health officials is reflective of the decisive leadership the
Speaker 1: President has brought this early on. It's important to remember
Speaker 1: that the President on January thirty first, suspended all travel
Speaker 1: from China. I said to doctor Fauci today, as we
Speaker 1: look at Europe now being the epicenter of the coronavirus
Speaker 1: that I asked him we had not suspended all travel
Speaker 1: from China, what our circumstance would be, and he essentially said,
Speaker 1: we'd be where Europe is today, right we would be
Speaker 1: right now where Italy is, right now, where they have
Speaker 1: the entire north of the country completely locked down, no
Speaker 1: travel where they've had, you know, a few thousand dead
Speaker 1: I believe now in total, they've had thousands and thousands
Speaker 1: of cases, and they're still in the upswing of cases
Speaker 1: and their health system is already at the breaking point.
Speaker 1: So we're not there right now because of a decision
Speaker 1: that President Trump made early on. And if we're going
Speaker 1: to play the blame game, and unfortunately we're gonna have to,
Speaker 1: because they're going to try to put all the they're
Speaker 1: going to they're already setting the stage that they will
Speaker 1: blame Trump for the damage to the economy, they will
Speaker 1: blame Trump for every death in this country. They're going
Speaker 1: to act like he was incompetent and didn't do anything,
Speaker 1: no matter what the final death toll from this disease is,
Speaker 1: and no matter what the final state of the economy is.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, unless we have some miracle rally
Speaker 1: before the election and everything is looking great all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, which you look, I'm not saying that's completely impossible.
Speaker 1: I mean, here's here's what the President pointing out that
Speaker 1: there is there's a lot of buying going I want
Speaker 1: to talk more about this. There's a lot of buying
Speaker 1: going on. Play with twenty two. They're buying a lot
Speaker 1: of additional things to sell. But again, they actually have
Speaker 1: asked me to say, could you buy a little bit
Speaker 1: less please, I think though I'd never hear that from
Speaker 1: a retailer. All of them are working in hand in
Speaker 1: hand with the federal government as well as the state
Speaker 1: and local leaders to ensure food and essentials are constantly available,
Speaker 1: and they'll do it. There's no shortages. We have no
Speaker 1: shortages other than people are buying anywhere from three to
Speaker 1: five times what they would normally buy. It's going to
Speaker 1: be there for a long time. We're doing numbers and
Speaker 1: there's a pent up demand. That's incredible. All right. I
Speaker 1: got to talk more about this with the panic buying
Speaker 1: that's going on and what I saw myself because I
Speaker 1: did some I did some grocery shopping over the weekend
Speaker 1: here in New York. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I gotta I gotta
Speaker 1: ask o our dear friend, producer Mark here, Producer Mark,
Speaker 1: you moved on Saturday, and we were all thinking about
Speaker 1: how that was gonna go. At least I was. I
Speaker 1: think some of the audience who remembered you were moving
Speaker 1: in midst of all this, how did it How did
Speaker 1: it shake out? Well, the move itself went fine, you know,
Speaker 1: the movers came. I got rid of all this stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they didn't cancel on me. I'm glad. It was just
Speaker 1: when I had to go to like say, Target to
Speaker 1: buy stuff, the lines are crazy. There was no food.
Speaker 1: So I went Saturday night. I could barely get any
Speaker 1: food for the house. Sunday I went during the day
Speaker 1: and they had finally restocked like mac and cheese, pasta,
Speaker 1: stuff like that that. You know, it was non perishable,
Speaker 1: but I could finally get in the house, so at
Speaker 1: least I have something to eat this week. It's just
Speaker 1: in the future. I don't know how I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: more food in the house. Yeah, I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: I'm amazed to see how much the panic buying is
Speaker 1: really around a few items. Because I was in Whole Foods,
Speaker 1: which is a complete I mean, you want to try
Speaker 1: to stay out of these grocery stores as much as
Speaker 1: you can. It was a zoo. I mean there are
Speaker 1: people everywhere running around. I mean it was really packed,
Speaker 1: so it's not a good place to beat during a pandemic.
Speaker 1: But I mean people got to get food, and if
Speaker 1: you want to try to wait for food delivery service,
Speaker 1: you might wait for who knows how many days. But
Speaker 1: the things that you're seeing that are getting panic bought
Speaker 1: obviously paper, toilet paper, paper, towel, detergent, basic household need stuff.
Speaker 1: People are hoarding it, and really everyone has to be
Speaker 1: realistic about this. If you buy enough for thirty days,
Speaker 1: if in thirty days, all of a sudden the shelves
Speaker 1: are bare everywhere, we got we got big problems, my friends. Okay,
Speaker 1: you got to sort of bet on America being able
Speaker 1: to We're not a financial crisis. We're in a disease
Speaker 1: crisis that's causing financial problems, and we need to remember
Speaker 1: that as we're trying to make these decisions about what
Speaker 1: to buy and how much to get and try to
Speaker 1: be responsible to those around us too, To our community.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the bus sets and show podcasts.
Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app,
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. So when I was
Speaker 1: shopping myself, and I did a bit of shopping for
Speaker 1: my parents, and one reason why I've had to go
Speaker 1: outside is like I gotta walk the dog. We got
Speaker 1: the family dog here, so I gotta take a little
Speaker 1: tulula out, and she's just like, what's all the hubbub man?
Speaker 1: She doesn't because it turns out dogs can't get coronavirus.
Speaker 1: That's a good thing, because there were concerns for a
Speaker 1: little while there was a dog I think in Hong
Speaker 1: Kong it thought tested positive. But dogs can't get coronavirus,
Speaker 1: so she's good to go. But I'm walking around on
Speaker 1: streets here in New York and trying to you see
Speaker 1: people in the street and you cross the street now
Speaker 1: because you're just trying to create that social distancing even
Speaker 1: when you're just walking past someone and you're trying to
Speaker 1: touch anything every time you push the elevator button or
Speaker 1: you open the door and you put your hand on it.
Speaker 1: And one thing that you know, you're you're taking a
Speaker 1: risk with all that. And one thing that I do
Speaker 1: believe is going to come out of this is we're
Speaker 1: gonna the handshake may never really be back. Depends on
Speaker 1: how long this whole thing goes on, but the handshake
Speaker 1: may never really go back. And also doors that are
Speaker 1: essentially motion sensor opened or any number you know these
Speaker 1: these what do you call it mark. Well, you know
Speaker 1: we have them at the studio there where it's just
Speaker 1: like touchless entry or touchless exit. Yeah way, touch free
Speaker 1: entry or touch free entry, yeah yeah, touch right. I
Speaker 1: think you're going to see that now. Every place that
Speaker 1: can afford to put that in at least big commercial
Speaker 1: ventures and everything, they're just gonna say we shouldn't have people.
Speaker 1: You know, I was annoyed over the weekend because I
Speaker 1: kept having to go to the store and they say, okay,
Speaker 1: put your chip in. Look, it's my credit card. I'll
Speaker 1: use it. And I get that that. Hopefully my hands
Speaker 1: are clean as I'm touching it. I'm gonna go home
Speaker 1: and wash my hands. But then they want you to
Speaker 1: push that you know, is this okay button? And look,
Speaker 1: I'm all about raising money for charity whatever it may be,
Speaker 1: but they do this, Okay, now do you want to
Speaker 1: donate to charity? I gotta press the button again. Okay?
Speaker 1: Now is this okay? Okay? The final price? I gotta
Speaker 1: press this again. So I'm pressing the button three times
Speaker 1: and then I have to reach down and use the
Speaker 1: pen and if by people tell me, oh, use the
Speaker 1: chip on the credit card. I was using the chip.
Speaker 1: I only have chip credit cards. So then I reached down,
Speaker 1: I grabbed the pen, and I'm looking at this thing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is a virus stick. How many how
Speaker 1: many hundreds of people have all touched this thing today?
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a terrible idea. Why or why
Speaker 1: are we being forced to do this? We should every
Speaker 1: store you go into, every grocery store, you take your
Speaker 1: credit card, you swipe, You're done. That's it. No more
Speaker 1: pushing the stupid green button, no more pushing the little
Speaker 1: pen or you know, using that you're scrolling in allegible
Speaker 1: signature anyway, does anyone actually trying to You can't make
Speaker 1: a signature on those things. I end up just making
Speaker 1: a big circle or making like an X or something.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is ridiculous. Circle gets a square. So
Speaker 1: the other thing you see at the panic buying is
Speaker 1: certain things go and others don't. And it's quite a
Speaker 1: test stuff human psychology here. Pasta is like gold these days.
Speaker 1: So I suppose there are at least some people who
Speaker 1: feel like if the end times come, they'll at least
Speaker 1: have a few weeks of orta quietta spaghettini. Uh, you know, riccotta,
Speaker 1: chiese ravioli. You know, you name it. I'm a producer, Mark,
Speaker 1: What is what is your Italian food for the end
Speaker 1: of the world? What what if you can only have
Speaker 1: one pasta in stock, what's it gonna be. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do ravioli. Ravioli. That's a strong it's a strong choice. See,
Speaker 1: I'm a simple man, so I would just go mac
Speaker 1: and cheese. Man if I think of that as Italian,
Speaker 1: that's more of an American food. Hey, hey, it's a
Speaker 1: macaroni noodle producer, Marca. Come, it's, by way the only
Speaker 1: mac and cheese mix that was left on Saturday night.
Speaker 1: All the vegan stuff, yeah, vegan stuff even they can't
Speaker 1: even sell it when it's a world crisis. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean you gotta think that a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of the the stories they have vegan stuff, just because
Speaker 1: I feel like if they don't, vegans will complain and
Speaker 1: get mad at them. But clearly there's the market for
Speaker 1: this stuff is not is not as big as it
Speaker 1: is for all these other things. Yeah. I mean, so
Speaker 1: the pasta's all gone meat, which I'm happy to see.
Speaker 1: People want to make sure they've got red meat in
Speaker 1: the freezer. So it's very it's tough to get meat.
Speaker 1: I got the last This is actually kind of funny.
Speaker 1: I got the last roaster chicken at Whole Foods Full
Speaker 1: whole Chicken, and I got that last chicken, and then
Speaker 1: I also got the last packet of fresh tarragon. And
Speaker 1: there was a guy, a gentleman, was working at Whole
Speaker 1: Foods who definitely looked a little bit like he had
Speaker 1: just come from a fish show. And I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: do you go do you? I said, excuse me, sir.
Speaker 1: I did not say dude to excuse me, sir, do
Speaker 1: you have any gray poupaul? I'm just kidding. Do you
Speaker 1: have any tarragon? And he said yeo, man, like I
Speaker 1: think there might be some that, like someone stashed behind
Speaker 1: the mushrooms. And I was kind of like, what's going
Speaker 1: on here? This guy think I'm is tarragon like a
Speaker 1: code word for or you get something else? Like? Am
Speaker 1: I trying to get a little bit of the gone
Speaker 1: or something? Do you know a little bit of the
Speaker 1: of the of the Mary Jane? Like? What are he
Speaker 1: talking about? Turns out this guy was totally totally all
Speaker 1: spot on, and for no apparent reason, there was a
Speaker 1: package of fresh terragon hidden behind like a hole in
Speaker 1: the mushroom section, and he just remembered. I was like, sir,
Speaker 1: you are a genius. How did you know? See came
Speaker 1: in you know it's got stiff and got it done
Speaker 1: so I was able to make my rose terragon again.
Speaker 1: I told you, I'm making these dishes that I would
Speaker 1: never normally make because I'm stuck indoors here in New
Speaker 1: York City and get a little stir crazy. I started
Speaker 1: to think also, like, oh, maybe I'll watch you know,
Speaker 1: twenty eight days later and I'll watch the Strain and no,
Speaker 1: probably a bad idea. I'm gonna start watching were Disney
Speaker 1: shows and things like that that make me happy. I'll
Speaker 1: get to that later on what you should do and
Speaker 1: what we should all try to accomplish during this time
Speaker 1: of lockdown, because it's gonna be It's gonna be a while,
Speaker 1: my friends, it's not going away anytime soon. So people
Speaker 1: buy positive that by red meat butter. I'm noticing butter
Speaker 1: shortages too. You know, you have these staples that all
Speaker 1: go and I just would I would hope that that
Speaker 1: folks don't think that they need to stock up for
Speaker 1: the next six months because it's not possible. They won't
Speaker 1: be able to keep. So if you've got six months
Speaker 1: of toilet paper in your closet that you just bought, now,
Speaker 1: if you've been stacking up for years, I feel like that's,
Speaker 1: you know, good for you on preparing. But if you're
Speaker 1: trying to buy six months of toilet paper right now,
Speaker 1: I means other people aren't gonna be able to get
Speaker 1: next week's toilet paper. And that's the reality of the
Speaker 1: system that we have. So we'll have to see if
Speaker 1: if the panic buying and the shortages continue on. I'm
Speaker 1: really hopeful that there'll be a lessening of this pretty quickly,
Speaker 1: but we are an uncharted territory and this is the
Speaker 1: way it's going to be for at least some time,
Speaker 1: so we might as well, I suppose, dig in as
Speaker 1: best we can. But the supermarket is not like anything
Speaker 1: else I've ever seen before. Right now, there's a real
Speaker 1: anxiety in the air. People are really concerned, and I
Speaker 1: just want everyone to be as calm as possible under
Speaker 1: the circumstances. So that's where we're at. There was a
Speaker 1: debate last night. I watched some of it. My first
Speaker 1: big takeaway was, oh, gosh, there are so many Statler
Speaker 1: and Waldorf jokes. I want to make here, so many
Speaker 1: Statler and Waldorf jokes. But I then went online. I
Speaker 1: saw other people had already beaten me to them, and
Speaker 1: I realized, oh, I don't want to be that guy
Speaker 1: that's making the obvious Statler and Waldorf Waldorf jokes, So
Speaker 1: I had to skip past that. It was a reminder
Speaker 1: that audiences and debates are not a good idea. Audiences
Speaker 1: are extraneous. I don't think we should have audiences. Not
Speaker 1: worth it. You end up just having the candidates play
Speaker 1: to the audience, I think more than they even realize.
Speaker 1: And also all the interruptions and all the nonsense from
Speaker 1: people cheering and booing and all this. It's just not
Speaker 1: a good idea. So I do not recommend I do
Speaker 1: not recommend we ever go back to having audiences at
Speaker 1: the debates. And really, the basic contention here of liberals today,
Speaker 1: especially the ones who hate Trump. We've played some of
Speaker 1: those soundbites for you. The basic contention they have is
Speaker 1: if we had Biden or Bernie in charge, we'd be
Speaker 1: in much better shape. Now, it's just not true. Why
Speaker 1: would we think that's true? What evidence of any kind
Speaker 1: is there to support that notion. I would just I
Speaker 1: would want someone to tell me what exactly they can
Speaker 1: show me that makes me think that Joe Biden, who
Speaker 1: I think is a really just and don't I don't
Speaker 1: say it to me mean I mean, yes, he seems
Speaker 1: like he's lost the staff. He does seem too old
Speaker 1: for this. Bernie Sanders is definitely too old for this.
Speaker 1: You got two guys who are clearly too old for
Speaker 1: the position, who are unimpressive, who have shown no real
Speaker 1: leadership skills or vision or ability to execute, and their
Speaker 1: entire careers have really just been about getting reelected. These
Speaker 1: are lifetime These are lifetime career elected officials, which is
Speaker 1: novel we really even want in this country. Of course,
Speaker 1: now some are yelling term limits, and I totally agree
Speaker 1: with you, but you're never gonna get term limits because
Speaker 1: the people that have to put term limits in place,
Speaker 1: that the people that would have to abide by them,
Speaker 1: they don't want to. So Biden and Bernie they've been
Speaker 1: in this game for a very very long time and
Speaker 1: they don't look like they want to change anything about
Speaker 1: that right there. They're happy to continue to fight it out.
Speaker 1: And you know, Bernie Sanders will continue to be a Senator.
Speaker 1: I've also really come around to the point of view
Speaker 1: that Bernie never really wanted to win because he's not
Speaker 1: willing to do what's necessary. He wants to be the
Speaker 1: radical who's loved by his side, but is also still
Speaker 1: well regarded by the Democrat establishment. He's not willing to
Speaker 1: take on the establishment. He just plays the role. Bernie
Speaker 1: Sanders is really like some of the conservatives who go
Speaker 1: on CNN for the last couple of years. I remember
Speaker 1: I used to be one, but that was before CNN
Speaker 1: was completely insane. Dana lash my dear friend, Dan is
Speaker 1: a fierce conservative. She was a CNN contributor years and
Speaker 1: years ago. I was a CNN contributor years ago. I mean,
Speaker 1: you look at a number of people who are part
Speaker 1: of the movement and who have been, you know, doing
Speaker 1: this for a long time, and our stalwarts. We used
Speaker 1: to be able to do CNN and it was never friendly,
Speaker 1: but now they're complete, they're completely insane. Bernie is kind
Speaker 1: of like the conservatives who are on the payroll at CNN,
Speaker 1: not including never Trumpers, but Bernie's like a conservative on
Speaker 1: the payroll at CNN right now. Who you know, makes
Speaker 1: a little noise about no, Trump's doing a good job,
Speaker 1: but then is essentially told, hey, shut up and just
Speaker 1: take take the beating. You're here to take a beating.
Speaker 1: You're you're on here to make your case. That's where
Speaker 1: we are with in the Democratic apparatus, the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: He's not he's not there. He's not allowed to win,
Speaker 1: and he knows it, and he's not willing to do
Speaker 1: what's necessary to fight back to get through the system.
Speaker 1: So that's that's where I think it is right now.
Speaker 1: But now we can get into some of the specifics
Speaker 1: of what they said, because I want Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be honest with you. The debate sucked. It was boring,
Speaker 1: It was not worth anyone's time. I watched like the
Speaker 1: first thirty forty minutes of it, and then this morning
Speaker 1: I woke up, I'm gonna tell you the truth. I
Speaker 1: woke up and read the transcript. I couldn't sit through
Speaker 1: the whole you know, I couldn't sit through it. I
Speaker 1: kind of want to do my own version of a
Speaker 1: Bernie Biden debate and just sort of make it up
Speaker 1: as I go along. They'd be a fun sketch to do,
Speaker 1: but I'll get I'll give you some of the main
Speaker 1: points here. And my biggest thing though, from the very beginning,
Speaker 1: because they focused on coronavirus from the outset. Why would
Speaker 1: we really think that Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, who
Speaker 1: have never successfully run anything, don't understand delegation, don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden keeps talking about his VP experience. Anybody could
Speaker 1: be a VP. Come on, Let's be honest. It's like
Speaker 1: a show up job. You just got to show up.
Speaker 1: That's it. They say he was in charge of this,
Speaker 1: that and the other thing. That's all nonsense. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was in charge of Ukraine policy, which was helpful
Speaker 1: for Hunter Biden. But does anyone think that we look
Speaker 1: at our at the Obama administration's Ukraine policy is some
Speaker 1: kind of great victory to be celebrated. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: But Biden Burnie, I honestly, as a human being, first
Speaker 1: before a commentator or somebody who cares about politics and
Speaker 1: all those other things, I would not feel one bit
Speaker 1: better if we could switch Trump with Bernie or Biden
Speaker 1: with Bernie. I would, honestly and truly, I really mean this,
Speaker 1: I would feel markedly worse about our prospect right now.
Speaker 1: If we could just switch out who the president was
Speaker 1: with either of these two top democrats, honest, it would
Speaker 1: feel worse about it. I mean that's from the bottom
Speaker 1: of my heart, that's how I feel. And the debate
Speaker 1: did not make that go away at all and only
Speaker 1: strengthened that feeling. You're in the freedom hunt. This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sex and Show podcast. To be clear, Senator Saunders,
Speaker 1: Cuba has been a dictatorship for decades. Shouldn't we judge
Speaker 1: dictators by the violation of human rights and not by
Speaker 1: any of their alleged achievements. Well, I think you can
Speaker 1: make the same point about China. China is undoubtedly an
Speaker 1: authoritarian society, Okay, But would anybody deny any economists deny
Speaker 1: that extreme poverty in China today is much less than
Speaker 1: what it was forty or fifty years ago. Facts a fact.
Speaker 1: So I think we condemn authoritarianism, whether it's in China, Russia, Cuba,
Speaker 1: any place else. But to simply say that nothing ever
Speaker 1: done by any of those administrations had a positive impact
Speaker 1: done their people what I think be incorrect. Bernie still
Speaker 1: doesn't get it, keeps dumbling down. It's because this is
Speaker 1: who he really This is who he really is. He's
Speaker 1: not going to change because this is what Bernie's all about.
Speaker 1: He's a Marxist. He believes, he has to believe. This
Speaker 1: is why it's so important. This is not a secondary point.
Speaker 1: This isn't something that just conservative commentators will bring up
Speaker 1: to a bash Bernie, although that's fun too. This is
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders showing you that he has always thought that
Speaker 1: the communist regimes, the Marxists and socialist regimes of history
Speaker 1: have done some things well, and that then gives the
Speaker 1: justification in his mind for us to try to use
Speaker 1: the basic foundation, the basic economic and social and political
Speaker 1: framework of those countries in our own way, because we'll
Speaker 1: just take the good stuff without the bad stuff, which
Speaker 1: is another way of saying Bernie Sanders does not understand.
Speaker 1: He fundamentally does not understand or doesn't care to understand,
Speaker 1: meaning he just pretends that he can. He can't learn
Speaker 1: these things why these societies had the problems that they did.
Speaker 1: That societies that do not privilege individual rights, freedom of
Speaker 1: the individual property, and rule of law over amorphous conceptions
Speaker 1: of equality and social justice as determined by a left
Speaker 1: wing elite. There are reasons why that always fails, and
Speaker 1: the little things that may be done here are there
Speaker 1: that aren't horrifically bad. And also in the point of
Speaker 1: Cuba's health system is some kind of a good idea
Speaker 1: is absurd. Nobody would rather be in a Cuban health
Speaker 1: Nobody rather, who has a brain that functions, would rather
Speaker 1: be in a Cuban hospital than an American hospital or
Speaker 1: a British hospital, a Canadian hospital. So why why even
Speaker 1: bring it up? It's so strange. Then then when he
Speaker 1: when he remarks about China and how China is, Yeah,
Speaker 1: China has improved its economy by doing capitalism. China is
Speaker 1: authoritarian capitalism. That's why it's made all of it so
Speaker 1: so Bernie doesn't seem understand that raising if you want
Speaker 1: to raise people out of poverty, the lesson you take
Speaker 1: from China is let the market work. It's magic. More.
Speaker 1: The lesson that Bernie Sanders takes from China is, oh,
Speaker 1: they're communist and they've been able to do well, so
Speaker 1: communism must be okay economically, and they're not even really,
Speaker 1: I mean they're not. It's not a communist system anymore.
Speaker 1: It hasn't been for a long time. But he takes
Speaker 1: the wrong lessons, and this is why he's been able
Speaker 1: to be so wrong for fifty years now. He does
Speaker 1: not understand why the Marxism that he pedals and has
Speaker 1: always peddled is a failure. It will always be a failure,
Speaker 1: it will never work. And this is where you get
Speaker 1: like the slogans, but it's true. You know, socialism fails
Speaker 1: everywhere that it has been tried. There are reasons for that.
Speaker 1: It is not an accident. It's not just happenstance. Next time,
Speaker 1: we'll do it, buddo. Next time we'll figure out how
Speaker 1: to make sure the shelves are not bad during the crisis.
Speaker 1: If you want bare shelves, the best system you can
Speaker 1: have a socialism, because they'll tell you that you have
Speaker 1: a right to those loaves of bread. There just won't
Speaker 1: be any loaves of bread in the store. And if
Speaker 1: you complain, you're counter revolutionary. Maybe you care too much
Speaker 1: about yourself, Maybe you should be locked up. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to the bus seton show podcasts. Remember to subscribe
Speaker 1: on Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. And bottom line here is in terms
Speaker 1: of medicare for all. Despite what the Vice President is saying,
Speaker 1: what the experts tell us is that one of the
Speaker 1: reasons that we are unprepared and have been unprepared is
Speaker 1: we don't have a system. We've got thousands of private
Speaker 1: insurance plans that is not a system that is prepared
Speaker 1: to provide healthcare to old people. Okay, Bernie Sanders thinks
Speaker 1: that the problem that we face in this country right
Speaker 1: now with virus is we don't have medicare for all.
Speaker 1: Huh So I need someone to explain to me what
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders answer is for why is Italy having a
Speaker 1: terrible outbreak of this that they cannot handle. They guarantee
Speaker 1: healthcare for their citizens. You know what guaranteed healthcare means
Speaker 1: when you don't have the resources, means nothing. There's nothing
Speaker 1: that you take from that. There's nothing that you can do. Italy,
Speaker 1: we would think would be a place that could handle
Speaker 1: a situation like this, but no, they can't. They don't
Speaker 1: have the doctors, they don't have the resources, they don't
Speaker 1: have what they need, and so your guarantee of healthcare
Speaker 1: is just a guarantee of being frustrated. We're going to
Speaker 1: see how the UK handles this We're going to see
Speaker 1: how Spain handles this, France, Germany, countries that have these
Speaker 1: healthcare systems that we're told are so much better than
Speaker 1: our own. Really, Europe is now the central fight for
Speaker 1: this disease globally speaking, and you're going to have all
Speaker 1: these countries where we're told that healthcare is guaranteed for people.
Speaker 1: But in Italy, you know what has been happening. Doctors
Speaker 1: have been in a situation where they just don't have
Speaker 1: enough ventilators. So what do they do. Two people come in,
Speaker 1: both can't breathe. They have to make it on the
Speaker 1: spot judgment. Okay, we're gonna hook you up. You you
Speaker 1: have to wait. Waiting might mean dying rationing huh, almost
Speaker 1: like an on the spot death panel. That's what's going
Speaker 1: on over there in countries like Italy where they guarantee
Speaker 1: healthcare for everyone. How do you fix these problems? Well,
Speaker 1: you need more doctors, more ventilators, more resources. How do
Speaker 1: you get that the market? The government does not create
Speaker 1: these things. The government can only take these things that
Speaker 1: already exist, at least in the system that we have.
Speaker 1: In the system that Europe has, the government is not
Speaker 1: in a position or just make these things appear. So
Speaker 1: Bernie takes all once he takes, he's just wronging about everything.
Speaker 1: It's amazing that there are people who think that they're
Speaker 1: so clever and intelligent, who believe that Bernie Sanders has
Speaker 1: the answers. He has answers to nothing, nothing, can't do
Speaker 1: anything to help. But he has a sheet. I mean,
Speaker 1: he sticks to the talking points. It's all admitticamt for all,
Speaker 1: bike it all better for us. No, it really won't.
Speaker 1: Even Biden knows that that's not something that will make
Speaker 1: things better. But you know Biden understands. Also, you knock
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty million Americans off their health insurance plans.
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders uses all these statistics, these dishonest statistics. You'll
Speaker 1: say that there are fifty million uninsured or underinsured people
Speaker 1: in this country. What is underinsured mean means you don't
Speaker 1: have like great health insurance, but you've got health insurance.
Speaker 1: Who falls into that category. So that it was a
Speaker 1: debate reading to learn anything new about these candidates. There
Speaker 1: are a few interesting moments. Sanders, for example, said this
Speaker 1: about ice raids, playclif nine, one of these things that
Speaker 1: goes on when you have that process. Is that not
Speaker 1: only the psychological terror. And I've talked to these kids.
Speaker 1: Kids are scanned to death in America when they come
Speaker 1: home from school, that their mom and dad may not
Speaker 1: be there, may be deported. What we need to do
Speaker 1: is to end and I will end this on day one,
Speaker 1: the ICE raids that I've been so hapeful to so
Speaker 1: many people, and we need to do again what the
Speaker 1: American people want us to do. I'm the son of
Speaker 1: an immigrant. This is a country significantly built by immigrant label,
Speaker 1: built by slave label. And what we have got to
Speaker 1: do is appreciate each other and end this demonization and
Speaker 1: this of this. So no more ICE rates or enforcement
Speaker 1: of immigration law. By the way, calling them raids, isn't
Speaker 1: that so interesting? We always say this, they're arrests. ICE
Speaker 1: makes arrests, unlike when they arrest say, unlike when federal
Speaker 1: law enforcement arrests Roger Stone and sends in a few
Speaker 1: dozen heavily armed agents to get a guy who's like
Speaker 1: in his silk pajamas and smoking jacket, hanging out at
Speaker 1: four o'clock in the morning. You know, ICE isn't sending
Speaker 1: in squat teams to rip people out of their beds
Speaker 1: and you know, throw them on the ground and act
Speaker 1: like they're all no, but they send in people to
Speaker 1: conduct arrests that are here in violation to federal law.
Speaker 1: You know. I mean, if you're not going to do
Speaker 1: ice rates, just say that, Just say that the immigration
Speaker 1: doesn't matter anymore, and say that, Bernie Sanders at a
Speaker 1: time when control of our borders quite clearly could mean
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of American lives are either saved or not.
Speaker 1: Control of the borders right now is very important, isn't it?
Speaker 1: The open borders one world government crowd that has been
Speaker 1: so dominant on the left in recent years. Do they
Speaker 1: have any answers for this? How can governments respond effectively
Speaker 1: to an outbreak like what we're seeing with Wuhan virus
Speaker 1: when they can't even control who comes and goes from
Speaker 1: the country. How can governments be expected to do that?
Speaker 1: How could they know? Well, we don't get any answers
Speaker 1: about this, do we. We just are told that if
Speaker 1: you're a nice person, you don't believe in deportations. I
Speaker 1: just don't think that I'd be able to show up
Speaker 1: in Japan, Australia, you know, lovely countries that I would
Speaker 1: maybe consider if America kicked me out for some reason,
Speaker 1: I guess I gotta go somewhere. I don't think I
Speaker 1: could just show up and say, yeah, I'm gonna stay
Speaker 1: and you guys can't get rid of me, because that's mean.
Speaker 1: That wouldn't fly, that wouldn't work. But Bernie Sanders is
Speaker 1: trying to pander to the left wing immigration activists in
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party right now, So he's saying no more deportations,
Speaker 1: and Biden, I should note followed suit Biden also is
Speaker 1: opposed to deportations. He's also playing to the left wing
Speaker 1: activists in the Democratic Party right now who are willing
Speaker 1: to say whatever they have to say, or rather they're
Speaker 1: willing to say to them whatever they think they have
Speaker 1: to say to get their support. Joe Biden also said
Speaker 1: this in the shockingly stupid but not surprising file end
Speaker 1: all oil development on federal land, Joe Biden said in
Speaker 1: this debate Play twelve number one, no more subsist or
Speaker 1: FOSSi filling industry, no more drilling on federal lands. No
Speaker 1: more drilling, including all short no ability for the oil
Speaker 1: industry to continue to drill period ends. That's a terrible idea.
Speaker 1: Thousands and thousands of people would lose their jobs. One
Speaker 1: of the reasons why we've had such a strong economy,
Speaker 1: why it has been growing so rapidly in recent years,
Speaker 1: is because America has become effectively energy independent. And Democrats
Speaker 1: now that we have on the experiment of doing fracking
Speaker 1: for years and becoming an energy superpower and having all
Speaker 1: the benefits of that for the economy, for business, for growth,
Speaker 1: for prosperity, we've seen the results. They're crazy, They're wrong.
Speaker 1: Fracking isn't poisoning our water. We're not all dying. Because
Speaker 1: they used to say that there was a documentary that
Speaker 1: one wasn't a gas land, that one, you know, the Oscar,
Speaker 1: which means nothing for documentaries. Documentaries are almost always crap,
Speaker 1: the ones that the Hollywood elites like. They're just long
Speaker 1: form editorials full of lib nonsense, the best example of
Speaker 1: which would be an Inconvenient Truth. Yeah, Florida's underwater, isn't
Speaker 1: It's all gone, just like they showed in the movie. Idiots,
Speaker 1: total morons running these things, but it is what it is.
Speaker 1: They thought that fracking was going to poison us, fracking
Speaker 1: was so bad for us, And actually fracking has been
Speaker 1: a godsend for the economy, and it has helped us
Speaker 1: become energy independent in a way that nobody really ever
Speaker 1: thought we'd be able to be. So that really matters.
Speaker 1: That really helps. Oh wait, I did have Biden hit
Speaker 1: back at Burning on praising the dictators. This would be
Speaker 1: kind of fun to watch them fight for a second.
Speaker 1: Play eleven. The idea of occasionally saying something nice about
Speaker 1: a country is one thing. The idea of praising a
Speaker 1: country that is violating human rights around the world is
Speaker 1: in fact makes our allies wonder what's going on? What
Speaker 1: do you think the South Koreans think when he praises
Speaker 1: China like that? What do you think? What do you
Speaker 1: think the Australians believe in the shadow of China? What
Speaker 1: do you think is happening in Indonesia in the shadow
Speaker 1: of China? What do you think is happening in terms
Speaker 1: of Japan in the shadow of China? The words matter.
Speaker 1: These are flat out dictators, period, and they should be
Speaker 1: called for it straight up. We may have to work out.
Speaker 1: For example, I was able to help negotiate a new
Speaker 1: Start agreement with Russia, not because I like putin Guy's
Speaker 1: a thug. At least Biden's smart enough to know. Got
Speaker 1: to give them credit where you can that praising dictators
Speaker 1: is not a popular move with the American people. It
Speaker 1: is kind of popular with the left though, because they
Speaker 1: are adopting Chinese propaganda in the media. Our media is
Speaker 1: taking the Chinese government's word for it when it comes
Speaker 1: to a whole bunch of things like don't call it
Speaker 1: Wuhan virus. I still had people coming at me over
Speaker 1: the weekend on that one. Really, well, what should what
Speaker 1: should we call it? What's the what's the actual designation
Speaker 1: for Spanish flu? Fancy media people, do you know? No?
Speaker 1: I have no idea? Of course, what's the actual medical
Speaker 1: designation for ebolavirus? Hey, here's a better question to all
Speaker 1: the smug lib journals out there, why do we call
Speaker 1: them h something and something? I bet they have absolutely
Speaker 1: no idea has to do with the surface proteins on
Speaker 1: the virus. They don't know that because they don't care,
Speaker 1: because they don't research, or they don't know anything. It's
Speaker 1: all about how does my hair look? Do I sound?
Speaker 1: Do I sound credible? Do I look credible? Am I
Speaker 1: getting a big paycheck to do a job that a
Speaker 1: million other people could do just as well. Great, call
Speaker 1: me a TV news anchor. The whole thing is absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1: So Biden knows, you gotta sorry if you hear me
Speaker 1: scratching my beard. What can I know? Every time I
Speaker 1: do that? You must know, Buck, don't touch your face. Okay.
Speaker 1: So Sanders has been saying that we have too many
Speaker 1: private insurance companies. That's the problem Biden. Well, Biden runs
Speaker 1: around saying all kinds of of annoying things. But one
Speaker 1: thing that really stuck out to me is how he
Speaker 1: is really trying to win the feminist vote here by
Speaker 1: by doing the following play play clip ten. If I'm
Speaker 1: elected president, my cabinet, my administration will look like the country,
Speaker 1: and I commit that I will in fact appoint a
Speaker 1: I pick a woman to be vice president. There are
Speaker 1: a number of women who are qualified to be president. Tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I would pick a woman to be my vice president.
Speaker 1: So he says he's going to pick a woman. Now,
Speaker 1: there will be a lot of people in the media
Speaker 1: that will put ideas out there, putting names out there like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know Stacy Abrams, Hall of Sherboth Warren, Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: you know, she hashn't endorsed Bernie or Biden. But but
Speaker 1: gosh darn it, she wants to help the people. She's
Speaker 1: out there. She's a possibility. You know where I'm going though,
Speaker 1: you know who else is a possibility? Hello, She's still
Speaker 1: there on the sidelines. Does anyone think that Hillary Clinton
Speaker 1: was asked to be vice president? She would say no,
Speaker 1: We all know she wants back in the game. She
Speaker 1: gets to say that she worked during the Obama administration
Speaker 1: as Secretary of State. She gets to say that she
Speaker 1: has a connection to that administration too, that her and
Speaker 1: Joe probably work so closely together. They're like a dream team.
Speaker 1: Right now, everything will work out just fantastically, So worth
Speaker 1: asking the question at that point, why wouldn't he pick
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton? Why wouldn't he go and have somebody that
Speaker 1: would bring all of the muscle and all the fundraising
Speaker 1: and you know, just the the institutional background to this.
Speaker 1: That's the real question you have to ask. And I
Speaker 1: think I think Hillary very well could be the VP.
Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. The reason why I affirmatively came out a
Speaker 1: pose of the High Amendment was that if we're going
Speaker 1: to have public funding for all healthcare along the line,
Speaker 1: there is no way you could allow for there to
Speaker 1: be a requirement that you have High Amendment. A woman
Speaker 1: who doesn't have the money could not have coverage under healthcare. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm glad number two, and I've done that. I did
Speaker 1: that a while ago. Okay, let's understand that anyone who
Speaker 1: tells you that Joe Biden is a moderate doesn't know
Speaker 1: what the heck they're talking about. Anyone who claims that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden isn't now it would be a left wing
Speaker 1: Democrat by traditional Democrat standards, isn't being honest with the
Speaker 1: facts here. He's talking about the High Amendment. He's talking
Speaker 1: about the taxpayer funding of abortion. And this is meant
Speaker 1: this used to be a third rail in politics, or
Speaker 1: there were some agreed on, you know, compromise here and
Speaker 1: that people wouldn't touch this, they wouldn't mess with this.
Speaker 1: The High memo was that you couldn't have public funds
Speaker 1: go directly toward abortion, because obviously public funds means taxpayers,
Speaker 1: means that you are paying for abortions. Your tax dollars
Speaker 1: are effectively going directly for the payment of abortions. Now,
Speaker 1: the government does give grants to Planned Parenthood. So in
Speaker 1: a sense, this has already been from a moral perspective,
Speaker 1: the government's already been doing this for a very long time,
Speaker 1: meaning that there would you know, funds are fungible and
Speaker 1: you can move funds from one part of Plan parent
Speaker 1: or to another. So if you're giving an organization that
Speaker 1: does abortions, if you're giving them money, you're effectively subsidizing abortion.
Speaker 1: But this means directly, the High Amendment is you can't
Speaker 1: have money that goes directly toward abortion from the federal government,
Speaker 1: and that no longer is the case for these Democrats.
Speaker 1: They they want to get rid of the High Amendment.
Speaker 1: Biden is saying that specifically here that he views this
Speaker 1: as outdated, and he's taking on this talking point from
Speaker 1: the left that healthcare that you know research, rather that
Speaker 1: that healthcare is abortion and abortion is healthcare. These are
Speaker 1: the same things. There's no problem with this, there's no
Speaker 1: difference here. So that's a pretty extreme place for anybody
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party to be historically speaking, and that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is willing to take that position now just
Speaker 1: goes to show you that, you know, the left has
Speaker 1: taken over that party even if the socialist doesn't win,
Speaker 1: the anti God, anti American socialist left is already very
Speaker 1: ascendant and very powerful in the Democratic Party, and you
Speaker 1: could argue increasingly it runs the Democratic Party. That's that's
Speaker 1: where we really are now. And I just think we
Speaker 1: need to remember that about about Biden and Bernie. I
Speaker 1: also just am going to note that there will be
Speaker 1: a lot of desperation from people trying to make the
Speaker 1: case in the months ahead because they hate Trump so much.
Speaker 1: There'll be a lot of desperation for people who will
Speaker 1: claim that Biden and Bernie are these really impressive, really
Speaker 1: exceptional politicians, and it's just absurd. It's just absurd. We
Speaker 1: can all see it. They're too old for this job.
Speaker 1: And in fact, they're both in the in the high
Speaker 1: risk category. They're both in high risk categories for people
Speaker 1: to be out and about in doing anything right now,
Speaker 1: on the black eye because of Huhan virus. And yet
Speaker 1: you know, maybe there's maybe there's a case to be
Speaker 1: made that we shouldn't think that our tire top echelon
Speaker 1: of political leadership should be comprised of people in there,
Speaker 1: at least from the Democrats side of it. And really
Speaker 1: they're late seventies. I don't know how old Chuck Schumer
Speaker 1: is off. I'm sure he's probably either late sixties, early seventies.
Speaker 1: But you look at you look at Pelosi, and you
Speaker 1: look at at Bernie and Biden and all all these
Speaker 1: different Democrats. I mean, they're really up there. I mean
Speaker 1: their age should be a thing that we can talk
Speaker 1: about without getting shouted down for being rude or being mean.
Speaker 1: They're not. Look, there's a lot of things you can
Speaker 1: do when you're eighty, and the eighty eighty year olds
Speaker 1: to listen to this show. I'm sure you're in great
Speaker 1: health and you got about another forty years in you.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that it's fair to the United
Speaker 1: States for someone who is clearly visibly audibly degenerating, as
Speaker 1: Biden is as and really Bernie is two. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's fair in that situation to make that person
Speaker 1: the commander in chief and expect that we're all going
Speaker 1: to accept that they're up for this job psychologically, physically, emotionally,
Speaker 1: in terms of their health, in terms of their stammin o,
Speaker 1: their energy, all of these things that there are real concerns,
Speaker 1: there are real questions to be asked here, Biden and Bernie,
Speaker 1: I know me the Statler and Waldorf common initially, but
Speaker 1: these guys just aren't up for this. And you're going
Speaker 1: to get shouted down by people who thought that Trump
Speaker 1: was deserved to be impeached over a phone call that
Speaker 1: nobody even remembers. Now those same people are going to
Speaker 1: tell you Biden and Bernie are just amazing. Thanks for

Speaker 1: That's right, Team, It's you guys. That's it. End, gals.
Speaker 1: I'm staying in this department. I'm planning to not leave
Speaker 1: if I can all week. I might go out to
Speaker 1: walk the family dog. Other than that, and I have
Speaker 1: to probably put a little face mask on the dog
Speaker 1: and be like, what's wrong with you? All right, let's
Speaker 1: get to it. Facebook dot com, slash buck sexon or
Speaker 1: Team Bucket, iHeartMedia dot com Kelly writes in and Buck.
Speaker 1: The other day, our governor j Insley called for a
Speaker 1: cancelation of all gatherings of two hundred people or more.
Speaker 1: Schools are canceling, possibly for the remainder of the year,
Speaker 1: although he only has that authority over government gatherings at
Speaker 1: this time. Our church has decided to go to online
Speaker 1: services only. And then we woke up this morning to snow.
Speaker 1: We don't treat snow in Washington State. They do in
Speaker 1: the Midwest. Everything stops when we get snow because we
Speaker 1: don't have the equipment and services to handle it the
Speaker 1: way they do in other parts of the country. Our
Speaker 1: exposure to each other will be minable for the foreseeable
Speaker 1: future Shield time. Kelly, Look, I think that's a good
Speaker 1: I think that's a good thing. I think that we
Speaker 1: should take this as seriously as we can right now
Speaker 1: without you know, going completely overboard. And I just I'm
Speaker 1: a believer in let's have a conversation. Well, let's have
Speaker 1: a conversation in a month where some of you are
Speaker 1: telling me, Buck, I told you it wasn't going to
Speaker 1: be that bad. But we can all say, well, at
Speaker 1: least it wasn't that bad, and you know, we did
Speaker 1: what we had to do to make sure it wasn't
Speaker 1: that bad that that should be the attitude now. I
Speaker 1: think that's where that's where I think we should all be,
Speaker 1: and we're you know, there's there's always time later on
Speaker 1: to say, okay, next time around, when the authorities say
Speaker 1: no gatherings over two hundred people, I'm going to be
Speaker 1: much more skeptical about than I am right now. Anthony,
Speaker 1: writing you from the last region of sanity in California
Speaker 1: to Lar County or to Lare County. I've never even
Speaker 1: heard of this before, Devin Newness's district. I'm one of
Speaker 1: the very few people in the media that pronounces his
Speaker 1: name correctly. I'm very proud of that. I've seen you
Speaker 1: in Fox for years, but started listening to your podcast
Speaker 1: religiously about a year ago. You quickly become my favorite,
Speaker 1: and your intelligence and humor gets me through long days
Speaker 1: on the road. Well. Thank you so much, Anthony. Only
Speaker 1: one of my lib friends can have rational discussions, so
Speaker 1: I usually get I usually listen to your analysis before
Speaker 1: he and I spar over the various issues of the day.
Speaker 1: I agree with you on nearly everything, and your way
Speaker 1: of articulating helps me rationalize my own thoughts. The daily
Speaker 1: dose of Buck has made me a better conservative, which
Speaker 1: leads me to being a better husband, father, employee, and friend.
Speaker 1: I thank you for that. Producer Mark is also great.
Speaker 1: Your combination is unmatched in the conservative podcast world, and
Speaker 1: I've listened to a lot. Well, thank you so much, Anthony.
Speaker 1: I really do appreciate that, and I mean that's such
Speaker 1: I praise you think that listening to this show helps
Speaker 1: you in other aspects of your life as a dad,
Speaker 1: as an employee, as a friend. I couldn't, honestly, I
Speaker 1: couldn't ask for anything more than that for anyone who's
Speaker 1: listening to this. If I can achieve that with even
Speaker 1: just a handful of the very large group of folks
Speaker 1: that his team, Buck, you know you couldn't. You couldn't
Speaker 1: fit us in a couple of sports arenas. But if
Speaker 1: that's the case, then you know I'm really doing my
Speaker 1: job well and that means a lot. So thank you
Speaker 1: very much, Anthony. Honestly, Oh, there's a ps. You definitely
Speaker 1: need to start a history show, or at least a
Speaker 1: segment on your podcast. Your first episode should be on
Speaker 1: the depression of nineteen twenty under Woodrow Wilson, then leading
Speaker 1: to the election of Warren Harding. To my understanding, the
Speaker 1: initial six months were worse than the Great Depression, but
Speaker 1: quickly turn around due to Warden's economic policies. Then Coolidge
Speaker 1: was elected in nineteen twenty three and the only president
Speaker 1: in modern history to cut taxes, spending, and actually shrink
Speaker 1: the federal government. This led to the Roaring twenties. My
Speaker 1: wife's grandmother claims they are relatives of his. VP. Charles
Speaker 1: Dawes would love to hear your elaborate in this time
Speaker 1: period and event well that first of all, thank you
Speaker 1: for the little bit of history there for everybody listening.
Speaker 1: And I would love to bring back some more history.
Speaker 1: That's something that I can certainly do on this show more.
Speaker 1: You know, in the past, sometimes radio stations have program
Speaker 1: directors or the people that are in charge of what
Speaker 1: goes on the air, and every station usually has most stations,
Speaker 1: I should say, have program directors. And that's tough because
Speaker 1: I always want our affiliates to be as happy as
Speaker 1: can be, with the audience really engaged and wanting to listen,
Speaker 1: and numbers doing well, numbers of years for the show growing,
Speaker 1: some of them love when I do really just straight
Speaker 1: history on the show. Not I mean the anecdotes obviously
Speaker 1: are always welcome when I do a little asides about history.
Speaker 1: But I've done straight up history segments before. And some
Speaker 1: of you are probably thinking about the Draculas, the real Dracula,
Speaker 1: which I think is fascinating. We did that for Halloween,
Speaker 1: Battle of Lepanto, Siege of Malta. There have been a
Speaker 1: few of them, as well as the Shields Hi podcast,
Speaker 1: which you know, with the quarantine situation, maybe now is
Speaker 1: when I get back to shield Taie. I just thought
Speaker 1: about that now, but I might have the time to
Speaker 1: do it finally. So some of the stations love it
Speaker 1: and some of them don't, and so it's a tough
Speaker 1: balancing act for me. That's why we started doing shield
Speaker 1: Tie on the podcast, because you know, that's just the podcast,
Speaker 1: that's what you're getting, whereas this show is a podcast
Speaker 1: and a radio show, and so I got to make
Speaker 1: sure that our affiliates and all of our wonderful stations
Speaker 1: across the country because they mean so much to this
Speaker 1: show in terms of the audience and the connection that
Speaker 1: we have. As a result of those stations carrying us.
Speaker 1: I want them to be happy and some of some
Speaker 1: of the some of the people in charge of the
Speaker 1: stations love the history, some of them not so much.
Speaker 1: So that's where we are on that. But yes, I
Speaker 1: think basically the answer is I got to come back
Speaker 1: with Shield Taie and we'll do more of them, and
Speaker 1: the next episode of SHIELDSI I've already told you it's
Speaker 1: going to be the Siege of Malta, which I love,
Speaker 1: which is a I mean, my dream would be to
Speaker 1: make a mini series of that one day, you know,
Speaker 1: and make that like Ridley Scott style, real deep dive
Speaker 1: epic historical trauma, you know, do it like Michael Mann
Speaker 1: and Last the Mohicans or Ridley Scott with um I
Speaker 1: think he did Kingdom of Heaven obviously, Gladiator I think
Speaker 1: is a Ridley Scott movie. Gladiators even better than Kingdom.
Speaker 1: Kingdom of Heaven was a little uneven for me. Gladiator
Speaker 1: is an amazing movie. So I want to do something
Speaker 1: like that with the Siege. If I could just like
Speaker 1: snap my fingers and have a project, it would probably
Speaker 1: be either the Siege of Malta or the Battle of
Speaker 1: Lepanto and do a mini series on that, like a
Speaker 1: TV for Netflix or for Amazon. It's incredible. I mean,
Speaker 1: the sequences you could do. Oh but I digress. I
Speaker 1: did try to watch a Korean language show over the
Speaker 1: weekend called Kingdom, and it's a little bit like there's
Speaker 1: a little bit of a Game of Thrones vibe because
Speaker 1: it's all about palace entry egan fighting over who gets
Speaker 1: to be the king or the emperor or as the
Speaker 1: case may be. But there's a little bit of a
Speaker 1: zombie storyline to not a lot of sword fighting for
Speaker 1: a show where pretty much everybody's carrying a katana sword.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put it out there. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're all walking around with katana swords, I'd kind of
Speaker 1: like to see you, you know, use those bad boys,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'd like to see a
Speaker 1: little bit of action with it, not a lot of
Speaker 1: not a lot of sword fighting for a show where
Speaker 1: you'd think reminds me of that movie. What was the movie? Um, Like,
Speaker 1: I can rabbers like fifty nine Assassins or forty three
Speaker 1: assassins or something, which was an old school samurai flick.
Speaker 1: That's excellent for what it is. Hold on, I gotta
Speaker 1: I gotta find that producer Mark, have you seen this one?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about? Um No, I don't
Speaker 1: have a talk about you know, it's a samurai movie.
Speaker 1: It's actually what is it? I can't remember the number?
Speaker 1: Thirteen assassins forty nine. Sorry, I've promised you guys, way
Speaker 1: more ass thirteen assassins if you've never seen it and
Speaker 1: you want to watch a because there's there's forty seven ronin.
Speaker 1: That's why I got confused. Okay, it don't all laugh
Speaker 1: at me, and right now, I didn't just pull a
Speaker 1: Plumberg could give everybody a million dollars with what he
Speaker 1: spent on the campaign. He spend five hundred million, three
Speaker 1: hundred million people. Everybody gets a million dollars. Forty seven
Speaker 1: Ronan is a movie that I do not recommend, but
Speaker 1: thirteen assassins. The opening sequence though, is like there's some
Speaker 1: really tough to watch, violent, nasty stuff. I almost want
Speaker 1: to say, like fast forward through the first fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: and just you'll kind of know some bad guys do
Speaker 1: some very bad things, and then there's some there's some
Speaker 1: Samurais who are supposed to stop it, and it's just
Speaker 1: like one giant sword fight, you know, in the same
Speaker 1: way that if you watch Blackhawk Down, it's kind of
Speaker 1: one and it's just one long running gunfight. Thirteen assassins
Speaker 1: is like a lot of sword fighting. So if you're
Speaker 1: for a here we are. I've been talking about a
Speaker 1: samurai movie. But anyway, this this movie a Kingdom. It's
Speaker 1: subtitleds Korean. The costuming is kind of amazing. The fact
Speaker 1: that anybody it's period piece. I can't even tell you
Speaker 1: what century this is supposed to take place in, and
Speaker 1: it looks to me like maybe the I don't know,
Speaker 1: the sixteen to the seven. I don't know what sixteen,
Speaker 1: seventeen hundreds career it looks like, really, but I think
Speaker 1: that's what it was. But it's it's It's okay. I
Speaker 1: can't tell you it's great. I'm looking for that show
Speaker 1: that I'm psyched while I'm stuck here in preemptive quarantine.
Speaker 1: I'm looking for that show that I'm gonna love. I
Speaker 1: haven't found it yet. You know that new show I'm
Speaker 1: watching Season five of Peaky Blinders. I've given producer Marks
Speaker 1: so much homework now that you're in semi quarantine to
Speaker 1: Producer Mark, are you actually gonna watch some of my suggestions,
Speaker 1: so you can come on and tell us how amazing
Speaker 1: my suggestions are. No, I'm gonna play video games. Well,

Speaker 1: have to buy the new baseball game because how else
Speaker 1: am I going to find out how bad the Mets
Speaker 1: are gonna be this year? Hmm yeah, I suppose that's
Speaker 1: what people. If you want to no professional sports right now? Right?
Speaker 1: No sports? Yeah, they're all shut down. Yeah, right now
Speaker 1: I should be watching much madness while pretending to listen
Speaker 1: to you speak. But in but now I actually have
Speaker 1: to listen to you speak. Producer Mark has to do
Speaker 1: his job and not watch college basketball. Folks. This is
Speaker 1: how this is the state of the world right now.
Speaker 1: It's tough. It's a tough situation. So wait, but can

Speaker 1: is the buck Sex and Show podcast. All right. We
Speaker 1: got Tim who writes in bucking Mark. You guys are
Speaker 1: both awesome. Thanks for keeping a safe and warm at night.
Speaker 1: I've been a listener since the Blaze days in the podcast.
Speaker 1: Really appreciate your honest perspective on what can be very
Speaker 1: difficult topics. You mentioned a while ago you don't think
Speaker 1: ce bands work for sea sickness. I would tend to
Speaker 1: agree that it's a total hoax and probably a mental
Speaker 1: fix more than anything. But my wife and I went
Speaker 1: on a cruise with some friends and I was a
Speaker 1: little nervous about being c six, so I tried them,
Speaker 1: had a great time, didn't get sick. Ones don't knock
Speaker 1: until you try it. Shields high, Okay, I mean hopefully
Speaker 1: the cruise industry. And I'm not actually saying this to
Speaker 1: be funny. I don't know if the cruise industry is
Speaker 1: going to be much of an industry unless we get
Speaker 1: some help to them. I mean, they're in really bad
Speaker 1: shape right now. But if they have a comeback, I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll give the risk band a try, and I'll
Speaker 1: try a cruise at some point, but not anytime soon.
Speaker 1: Richard dear Buck have been listening to podcasts for several months,
Speaker 1: among a few others. Slowly it's down to you and
Speaker 1: one other clear, intelligent, entertaining and informative. We need voices
Speaker 1: like yours that are patriotic, smart and capable of critical thinking.
Speaker 1: Love the Hillary and Bernie voices too. If you have
Speaker 1: not read Jeane Kirkpatrick, her writings are so relevant for today.
Speaker 1: The more I see of Trump, the more amazed I
Speaker 1: am at his fortitude and courage. I voted with misgivings,
Speaker 1: and now I'm deeply impressed by him as a man.
Speaker 1: The depth of corruption and our government is shocking. Thank god,
Speaker 1: his presidency has started to expose how bad it has become. Well, Richard,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. And I just you know, you
Speaker 1: gotta tell me, man, how do I become the undisputed
Speaker 1: champion of your podcast world? You know what's it gonna
Speaker 1: take some history, some more voices. Gotta tell you guys
Speaker 1: more about the new girlfriend. Like what do I have
Speaker 1: to do here to get you to get to the
Speaker 1: new podcast the new podcast level? Yeah, Buck has a
Speaker 1: lot of time to learn new tricks right now. Yeah exactly. Now,
Speaker 1: you guys can make like you can make recommendations and suggestions,
Speaker 1: and I actually am gonna be able to do it
Speaker 1: because you know I'm I'm not. There's no other I
Speaker 1: can't go to the gym, just like all the rest
Speaker 1: of you in places that are underly I can't. I
Speaker 1: can't leave my apartment. Basically. If I leave, it's only
Speaker 1: to get food. And if somebody within a one block
Speaker 1: radius of me sneezes, it's like hit the deck. You know,
Speaker 1: it's bad news, so not good, Jay Buck. Could COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen be the final nail in the coffin for the
Speaker 1: mainstream media. A majority of Americans on all sides already
Speaker 1: distrust the media when in the end all of the
Speaker 1: hype and panic turned out to be a big nothing
Speaker 1: burger and people realize they put their lives on hold
Speaker 1: for nothing while they rise up and revolt our friend jay, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, that's such a good question. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think that people see here's here's here's where this
Speaker 1: is going to go. Even if this doesn't turn out
Speaker 1: to be as bad in this country as we've been
Speaker 1: led to believe, if the media will tell us that
Speaker 1: it wasn't as bad because we did all the things
Speaker 1: that we were being told to do and because of
Speaker 1: all the hysteria. So there really isn't a future that
Speaker 1: I can see where there will be some big backlash
Speaker 1: against the media. I do think that we should, at
Speaker 1: least for the next couple of weeks, like I'm kind
Speaker 1: of giving, I'm giving the worst case scenario my attention
Speaker 1: for the next two weeks to see where we are
Speaker 1: with more data and the ability of hospitals to deal
Speaker 1: with the influx and everything else, and then I'm going
Speaker 1: to reevaluate. But for the next two weeks, I'm really
Speaker 1: committed to doing as much social distancing and taking this
Speaker 1: as seriously as I possibly can amid end because look,
Speaker 1: I'm not a lot of you I know live with
Speaker 1: far fewer neighbors, and you go from your house to
Speaker 1: your car, to the store and back, and that's really
Speaker 1: your only interaction with the rest of you with large
Speaker 1: human populations. I'm walking around on street I leave in
Speaker 1: the the most crowded part of New York, and I
Speaker 1: take pretty much the most crowded subway line to get
Speaker 1: to work every day, multiple times a day. So I'm
Speaker 1: just living in crowds. So you have to remember that.
Speaker 1: I also have a different feel on this than a
Speaker 1: lot of you because I walk out of my building
Speaker 1: where I live and I am in the middle of
Speaker 1: crowds right away. There's no I'm not saying I see
Speaker 1: one or two people on the street. That was like
Speaker 1: when I was in DC. I see people, well, not
Speaker 1: really right now because of the lockdown, but on a
Speaker 1: normal day, you walk out of my building, you make
Speaker 1: a left, and you are shoulder or shoulder with people
Speaker 1: in the streets. I mean, it's like videos and photos
Speaker 1: you've seen of you know, Hong Kong or Tokyo. It's packed.
Speaker 1: So you gotta remember I'm coming at it from that
Speaker 1: that perspective, where I know a lot of you are
Speaker 1: like buck. I live on three acres and mine are
Speaker 1: the only neighbors I see. Usually are like some coyotes
Speaker 1: or a bear or something, and it's not all of you,
Speaker 1: but that's definitely some of you. Yeah, you don't have
Speaker 1: to change all that much, and you've probably got access
Speaker 1: to water and plenty of food, and you're good to go. Right.
Speaker 1: Well for those of us, though, who are around the sneezing,
Speaker 1: coughing masses, it feels a little bit different. Let's see,
Speaker 1: Wallace Buck, you're inspiring words or what we need during
Speaker 1: this crisis while we are keeping our shields high. Thank
Speaker 1: you and send for five well, Wallace, thank you man.
Speaker 1: I'm doing the best I can to make sure that
Speaker 1: everyone feels like this community of patriots known as Team Buck,
Speaker 1: that we're all getting through this together, and that we
Speaker 1: can all turn to each other in this very difficult
Speaker 1: time for support, for information, for truth, and for laughs.
Speaker 1: And honestly, you guys are what's keeping me company right now.
Speaker 1: This show is You're it for me. I'm in this apartment.
Speaker 1: You know. I might get the girlfriend to come and
Speaker 1: make a visit, but I gotta get her an N
Speaker 1: ninety five mask and put her on a tricycle or
Speaker 1: something to get her over here. It's not easy, all right,
Speaker 1: Team That's gonna be the show for today. Look, I
