WEBVTT - Trump Calls For Peaceful Transition 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:14.960 You are entering the freedom huge. President Trump calls for 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:18.800 a peaceful transition, but he won't be at the Biden inauguration. 0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:22.759 A Capitol Hill police officer dies from riot injuries and 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:27.960 inexcusable COVID vaccine delay, and get ready for a purge 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:32.640 of conservatives. This is the Buck Sexon Show, where the 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:35.919 mission or mission is to decode what really matters with 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:43.080 actionable intelligence. Make no mistake a great American Again The 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:50.519 Buck Sexton Show begins the CIA analyst, he's a great guy. No, 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:56.160 the President has said it's over. He said there is 0:00:56.200 --> 0:01:00.279 no longer any continued fight over the election. There must 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:04.759 be a peaceful transition. He released a statement last night, 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.920 and I wanted to let you hear some of that 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.600 right now so we can discuss what this all means. 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.880 Go for it. I would like to begin by addressing 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:20.640 the heinous attack on the United States Capital. Like all Americans, 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:25.880 I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness, and mayhem. I 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:30.560 immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:35.520 secure the building and expel the intruders. America is and 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.560 must always be a nation of law and order. The 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:44.360 demonstrators who infiltrated the capital have defiled the seat of 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.320 American democracy. To those who engage in the acts of 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:52.920 violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. And 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.440 to those who broke the law, you will pay. We 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.920 have just been through an intense selection and emotions are 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:05.920 but now tempers must be cooled and calm restored. We 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:10.160 must get on with the business of America. My campaign 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:15.880 vigorously pursued every legal avenue to contest the election results. 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.639 My only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote. 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:24.560 In so doing, I was fighting to defend American democracy. 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.320 I continue to strongly believe that we must reform our 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:33.280 election laws to verify the identity and eligibility of all 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:38.600 voters and to ensure faith and confidence in all future elections. 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.280 We do need to make sure that future elections don't 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.919 have some of the questions around them that this one did. 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.480 We absolutely need to ensure that. But this election is over, friends, 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.040 this one is done. You know what, I know it. 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.200 We don't need to get too deep into all of that, 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.919 And we have less than two weeks before the Joe 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.600 Biden administration is going to start. So now we have 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.359 to deal with this. We have to see this reality 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.560 for what it is, and we have to prepare for 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.680 what is coming. I'm going to do all of that 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.680 with you today, but first I want to say that 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:22.320 there is, and I will not let this go, a 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:27.760 tremendous amount of hypocrisy from the media about what they 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:32.800 saw on Capitol Hill and what they generally excuse or 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.080 explain away or even encourage, depending on who we're talking 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:40.160 about and what specific right, all riots are bad. We 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.400 should be able to agree on this, right, left, right. 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.640 Everybody should we able agree all riots are bad. You 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:51.480 don't start breaking things, attacking people, trespassing, threatening and even 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.760 assaulting law enforcement. Look a Capitol Hill police officers dead, 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.720 they believe because he was hit over the head with 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:03.040 a fire extinguisher. That's murder. A woman went to this 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:04.880 protest and she was shot in the neck and what 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.480 looks like it looks like to me excessive force, which 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.000 would make that an illegal shooting, not quite murder, but 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.480 perhaps a criminal charge. We shall see. But the Capitol 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.360 Hill police officer who died was doing his job. He 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.440 was doing his job. We back the blue or not 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:26.200 we do, Let's not forget that. Do we condemn riots 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.560 or not? We do? And I'm telling you, any anybody 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.880 right now who wants to get mad at me about 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.359 this one or wants to pick a fight over this, 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.720 I welcome it. Let's all remember who we are, Let's 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.640 remember what we stand for here. All right. Trump is done. 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.920 He's not going to be president for the next four years, 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:48.800 and there are very real questions now about what the 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.720 future of President Trump personally and politics will be. I 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.920 think his statement last night was excellent. I think that 0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:03.200 he is representative of a broader move of conservative populism. 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.640 But we have to see where this all goes. The 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:15.200 next two weeks need to be a quieter process, a 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.839 peaceful process, as he has called for, but we also 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.080 need to deal with this reality. I know it's uncomfortable. 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.160 People have been lied to here, they have been misled, 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.920 and honestly, I'm there are some people who have been 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.800 telling me the truth about what has been going on 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.520 to the degree they could in the White House, and 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:39.239 there were others who were running around saying things, just wait, 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.520 just wait, we're gonna have the evidence. We're gonna give 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:43.960 it to you. I'm telling And they were telling me 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.480 this on a personal level. They were telling me this 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.359 off the record. Behind closed doors. What do they have? 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:56.760 Where is it? Nothing? They didn't change a darn thing, 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.560 And now the Left is more old and then it's 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.119 ever been. They have the House, they have the Senate, 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.039 they have the Presidency. It's all happening right now, and 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.960 I'm here with you getting ready for the fight that 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.880 lays ahead, because we are coming to grips with this 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.720 one right now. And part of that means looking at 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.040 everything honestly now with clear eyes, look at what has 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:26.920 actually happened. A Capitol Hill police officer is dead, a woman, 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:31.560 a mother, a veteran is dead. A number of other 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.880 people from injuries that I can't get specifics about how 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:39.360 but they're being placed as they're being reported on as 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.479 injuries related to or deaths related to this protest. They 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.560 are a handful of other people as well, but certainly 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:48.200 the Capitol Hill police officer and Ashley Babbitt, the woman 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:51.119 who was shot in the neck, they are dead. And 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:56.560 this whole unleashing of a fury and rage in the 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.960 Capitol as as I said, immediately, and many people are mad. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.279 Oh I know, I'm like all these others, thousands and 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.440 thousands of unfollows on Twitter and everything else always going 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.400 to tell you the truth. This is not a close call, 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:12.120 This is not a hard one. This was a massive blunder, 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.160 and we need to rally back from this and come together. 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.760 This was It was wrong and it was dumb, and 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.920 that's what we need to understand right now. It was 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:30.400 wrong and it was counterproductive on every level. And the 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:34.240 people who are telling you otherwise in media are lying 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.760 to you. The people who are telling you that there's 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.000 still going to be some constitutional challenge or there's a 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.320 crack in or there's or whatever, they are lying to you. 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.440 And some of them have been lying to you all along. 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:47.320 Some of them have been lying to you now for 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.080 six to eight weeks or so, telling you, Oh, don't worry, 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:55.120 it's definitely going to happen. And they knew better. I've 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.640 been saying for how long now, Joe Biden's almost certainly 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.400 going to be the president? Only you know, the only 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.400 reason I couldn't tell you one hundred percent I was 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:07.200 saying ninety nine percent because there are people around this 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:11.880 White House. There were people who are very connected into 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:16.080 the Trump administration who were saying, there's it's any you're 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.480 gonna see something. It's coming it's coming. I'm not running 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:23.080 the I'm not running the recount efforts. I'm not the 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.600 one going through the ballots. I'm not bringing the legal challenges. 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.520 So I had to you have to leave open the possibility. 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.400 But I've been saying this for a while, and people, 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:34.760 including some who I know, I've listened to me for 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.360 a long time, and they know to trust me. They 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.840 know I tell them the truth. They know the value 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.280 of this show lies not just in the knowledge that 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.920 I have about an array of things, but also in 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.080 the fact that I will always respect you. I don't 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.280 pander to this audience. I don't lie to this audience, 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.320 and unfortunately there are a lot of other people who do. 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.920 And that's why there's so much anger right now. On 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.560 top of all the other things. Not only have we 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:05.560 had a year of COVID nineteen and lockdowns and just 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.120 BLM riots and all the rest of it, we've also 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.839 had a year in the end, you're going to the 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.440 election where there were people that we were counting on 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.560 and people that we were trusting, and they've let us down. 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.959 Let's understand that there are people that many of you 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:25.240 listen to, or watch or trust when they speak in 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:29.840 their professional capacity in some government role, and they have 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:34.240 let us down. That has occurred. We should we should 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:35.840 be honest about it. We should be able to speak 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.480 about it. And anyone who's telling you the truth, I 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:42.840 can assure you is not the enemy, right, So get 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.439 that out of your head. I know this is this 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.880 is a tough one. It's a tough week. I tweeted 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.199 out Monday night, it's gonna be a rough week, folks, 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:52.920 trap in I didn't know how rough it was going 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:57.400 to be. And yes, it's worth discussing the hypocrisy. Yes, 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:01.000 we need to understand that the Democrat left is vicious 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.240 and vindictive and taking this far beyond him and saying 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.720 that this was sedition and that people should spend decades 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.920 in prison. Look, if you if you hit a cop 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.719 over the head with a fire extinguisher and he died, 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.080 you gotta go away. You gotta go away for murder. 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.680 That's what we're talking about. Now. This is serious, folks, 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.200 And you you know that I'm right when I say 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.560 that if somebody, if somebody assaulted a law I don't 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.520 care what they think they're caused. If somebody assaults a 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.880 law enforcement officer in the course of his duties or 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.120 her duties, and and kills that officer, there must be 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.880 there must be severe penalty. There must be absolute accountability 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.160 for that. Otherwise we've got nothing. Otherwise we're just it's 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:44.440 just mob versus mob out there on the streets. Do 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:46.360 they like the mob? Does the left like the mob 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.400 when it suits their purposes? Of course they do. Is 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.959 it disgusting that they have no standards that they apply 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.679 to this that are that are equal? It is it 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:59.400 grotesque that they're hypocrites in ways that you almost wonder 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.280 if it's just a commentary on their intelligence or just 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.280 their character is so rotten that they don't know the difference. 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:09.160 But this is where we are. I wanted to bring 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.839 you better news this week, that's for sure, And I'm 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.600 as disappointed as many of you. I'm as disappointed as 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.160 those of you who were expecting four more years. You know, 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.720 I was the guy who in twenty nineteen was telling you, 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.640 enjoy this. Remember this. The good guys are winning. The 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.959 country is doing great. This is as good as it's 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.240 going to get anytime soon. That's what I was telling you. 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:35.559 Remember that twenty twenty was a different story for us 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:40.120 because of this pandemic, and because the left finally felt 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.439 like it was in a position to get vengeance on 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:47.760 Trump and his supporters, and they're just getting started. If 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.200 you're wondering if I have a silver lining for you 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.000 at this point, it would be the following. There's a 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.120 lot of there's a lot of recriminations, a lot of 0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:01.199 finger pointing, a lot of circular firing squad among Republicans 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.400 going on right now, and that's only gonna that's only 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:08.800 gonna be more in the days and weeks ahead, and 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:13.080 it's gonna look like we have a very bleak political future. 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.400 It's gonna feel that way. There are gonna be some times. 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.960 I'm here to tell you that we will get through this. 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:26.640 We will come together. And one of the biggest instigators 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.680 of that will be the way that the left is 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:32.439 now going to overplay its hand, pretend it has a mandate, 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:36.520 ignore the will of seventy four million voters and treat 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:40.440 them like their subhuman and their scum, and the media 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.200 will will talk down to them. Joe Biden will give 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:48.520 some completely boiler plate speeches about how he wants to 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.200 unify the country and bring the country together, and then 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:55.120 every Democrat policy and every action taken by big corporations 0:12:55.120 --> 0:13:00.240 and social media and journals will be to punish, to 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:05.360 punish the apost states, the people who are are beneath 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.520 content for their support of Donald Trump. And you know 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.120 what that's gonna do. That's gonna bring us all together. 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.959 We're gonna end up circling the wagons among conservatives because 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.240 we're not gonna have any choice. Friends, that's happening. It's 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:24.640 just a question of when you're in the freedom. This 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:32.280 is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. This riot on Capitol Hill. 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.120 The media hates and I'm not gonna say anything other 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:39.200 than it should be condemned, and it was. It was 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:44.560 just honestly awful. Um what happened, you know, and now 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.920 we've got people who are dead, and all this did 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.600 was hurt the movement and it's just it was bad. 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:51.600 I said it right away. As soon as I saw it, 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:56.520 my stomach was turning over. I just felt, you know, 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.280 my my heart drop into my throat. I said, oh 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:05.640 my gosh, no, not this. But the media also has 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:09.920 a long history and a recent history a feeling very 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.280 differently about political violence and about riots, and we're not 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:18.000 going to let them get away. With that hypocrisy. We 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:22.600 should remember that the viciousness and destructiveness of BLM was 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:27.480 supported by, excused, by, even encouraged by members of the 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:31.800 mainstream media. That police officers were murdered by BLM supporters, 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.240 and that happened even the first iteration during the first 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.320 iteration of BLM back in I was the twenty fifteen, 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:42.960 So we've been seeing this for quite some time. Here 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:47.960 is a montage pulled together, I believe, by Grabian, of 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.600 all the times that the media in the last year. 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:55.760 We're talking about violence in a way that it feels 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:57.800 quite and this is just a sampling of it. There's more, 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:02.440 but it feels like if it's their team doing this, 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.720 then it's like not that big a deal. And I'm 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.840 talking about burning down police stations, I'm talking about trying 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.640 to set fire to a federal courthouse. I'm talking about 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.920 shining lasers in the eyes of federal officers with the 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:20.200 intention of blinding them. I'll tell you right now, if 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:23.080 I thought somebody was trying to blind me and I 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.880 had a side arm, I would use it in the 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:31.200 course of my duties. But that was all somehow very different. 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.200 That was all very very different. According to media play 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.400 clip one. I want to be clear and how I 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:43.680 characterize this is mostly a protest. It is not, generally 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.200 speaking unruly. That ain't a riot what we're seeing right 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.960 now in Minneapolis, which they are strictly principled anti fascists, 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.080 and they've taken a principal stand to stand against white 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.360 supremacists and white nationalists wherever they may show up. I 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:02.360 argue to you tonight, all punches are not equal morally. 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.600 It says it right in the name Antifa, anti fascism, 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:09.240 which is what they were there, um fighting. Listen, there's 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.440 you know, no organization is perfect. There are some violence. 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.640 Any reasonable person would say we shouldn't be destroying other 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.640 people's property. But these are not reasonable times. Well, thank 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.520 goodness for the looters man, and please show me where 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:23.680 it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful. 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:27.480 I don't care that much about statutes. Respectfully should not 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.760 have been done by a commissioned orciity council, not a 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.960 mob in the middle of the night throwing it. You're 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.000 seeing behind me is one of multiple locations that have 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:39.240 been burning in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Do not get it twisted 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.120 and think that, oh, this is something that has not 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.720 never happened before, and then this is so terrible and 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:46.840 where are we and these savages and all of that. 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.560 This is how this country was started. This is how 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.720 this country was started by people lighting small businesses on 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:58.240 fire and throwing rocks and bricks and bags of urine 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:03.880 at police officers because of the history of racism in 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.120 this country or something. They're not even really sure why 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:12.119 they do it. Those were multi millionaire news anchors of 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:16.800 the left on national cable channels, sounding like complete morons. 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:20.360 But that was absolutely in line with what the Democrat 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.560 Party feeling, and all that was too. So yes, I 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:27.320 know there are in no position to morally lecture us 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:31.199 about political violence if they're not going to call it 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.600 out when it is happening, not only on their side, 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:39.240 sometimes it happens with far greater frequency, but here we are. 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.520 Now they're going to use this, They're going to weaponize 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:47.080 this incident against all of us. A thousand nuts, say 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:51.160 Trump supporters, run into the Capitol, and of that, maybe hundreds, 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.560 maybe a few dozen were truly violent, attacking cops maybe, 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:56.679 and one of them, it seems, killed a police officer. 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:01.560 We gotta we draw the hardest of red lines possible 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:07.479 on that one. And now the entire movement has to 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:10.560 carry this for the next four years because of the 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:12.679 way the media is going to frame all of this. 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.240 That's what that's what we now face, and we have 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.880 to fight back against this. And they're coming for us, friends, 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:22.600 in all the cancel culture ways they can. That's happening. 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.920 Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.320 to subscribe on Apple Podcasts at the iHeartRadio app or 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:34.200 wherever you get your podcasts. Well over an hour and 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.480 a half after the chaos started, I got a text 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:41.760 from my granddaughter Finne and Biden, who's a senior in 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:45.439 our last semester to University of Pennsylvania. She sent me 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:52.200 a photo of military people in full military gear, scores 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:56.200 of them lining the steps of the Lincoln Memorial because 0:18:56.720 --> 0:19:01.399 a protest by Black Lives Matter. She said, this isn't fair. 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.679 No one can tell me that I had been a 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.560 group of Black Lives Matter protesting yesterday, there wouldn't have been. 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.879 They wouldn't have been treated very, very differently than the 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.880 mob of thugs that stormed the Capitol. Well, we all 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:22.119 know that's true. And it is unacceptable, totally unacceptable. I 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.680 just want to know something, Why are they going to 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:27.880 continue to do this and say things that are just 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:32.399 inciting now in the other direction and that are hateful 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.600 and divisive when anyone who's paying attention and being honest 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:39.320 about this would say the really gentle treatment that the 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.159 protesters received. I think there were almost fifty arrests. A 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.320 woman was shot in the neck who posed no imminent 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.200 threat to anybody, from which you can see in the videos, 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:50.439 she was killed by police. How many times have police 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:54.560 opened fire with live rounds on Black Lives Matter protesters 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.800 of the hundreds and hundreds of riots across the country 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.240 in twenty twenty, I'm not aware of a single time. 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.120 But we're going to We're going to now take this 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:08.280 position that there's some big difference where the police. What 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.840 is it is because the police are racist now, including 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.600 the large percentage of a lot of major departments like 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.119 the NYPD in New York where I worked, that our 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:20.880 minority that have a lot of great public servants, great 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:25.000 honorable Black and Latino men and women in that uniform 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:29.960 as well, we back the blue. There are some things, 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.199 my friends, there are some things that we say, and 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:35.199 we have to mean all right, we stand beside our 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:38.679 law enforcement brothers and sisters as when they're in the 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:43.800 legal furtherance of their duties. And they were, they were, 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:49.760 and that's we We always need to have that as 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:53.880 a as a foundation of our analysis about incidents like this. 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:57.119 You know, we're not taking the antique cop Oh the 0:20:57.160 --> 0:21:00.159 cops are all racist position, that's what Joe Biden's doing here. 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:03.320 That's really what you're supposed to take away from this. 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:06.840 It would all be so different because what Black Lives 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:12.560 Matter protesters were treated so badly. There there were hundreds 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.720 of protests across the country where there was no where 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.199 there was not violence. That is true. There were BLM 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.600 protests where there wasn't violence, there wasn't instruction of property. 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.800 I saw protests right here in Times Square where that 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:26.280 was the case. And the police were there and they 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:31.040 were completely professional and even cordial, and that's what we 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:34.119 can expect. They're there to help with crowd control and 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:36.280 just make sure that everyone's safe and the first moment 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:38.640 rights are respected. They don't bother anybody. They're just there 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.080 because you have a large crowd gathered in a busy 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:42.879 city and there's you know, you got to make sure 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.640 you're not blocking traffic and that everything is kept orderly. 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:49.520 When they start burning down buildings and trying to destroy 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:53.280 a federal courthouse and let a police precinct on fire 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.840 and throw bottles of urine and molotov cocktails and all 0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:01.240 this stuff at law enforcement officers, Yeah, then they're gonna 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:04.000 have to get tear gas. They're gonna have to get 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:06.959 arrested and tackle to the ground and flex cuffed, because 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:09.840 that's anarchy and we are supposed to still be a 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:15.159 country of laws. We are supposed to be one that 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:18.960 still cares about that. Why why do this? Now? Why 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:24.640 set up this, uh, this dichotomy of law enforcement treatment 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:30.000 of the Trump Capitol Hill protesters versus law enforcement treatment 0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:36.080 of BLM. Do they do they really think? What I mean? 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:39.800 I think that the Trump the Trump rioters in this case, 0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:43.679 or the pro Trump riders, I should say. The problem 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:46.119 for law enforcement was that they had an expectation that 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:50.320 this would be like pretty much every other you know, 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:54.000 right of center rally that you've seen of any size, 0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:57.479 of any consequence, stretching back to the Tea party, where 0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:02.320 people were law by peaceful protesting. You know that that 0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:06.080 that was their expectation, that was my expectation. So I 0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:10.560 feel at some level like like I was fooled on this. 0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:12.520 What do you mean you're you're gonna go do this 0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:16.080 at the Capitol Yeah, march in DC. I was calling 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:18.120 friends of mine who were in the march. How's it going, Oh, 0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:20.680 it's you know, it's great. We're just you know, trying 0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:23.000 to tell everybody, we're not gonna back this, and we're 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:26.200 gonna you know, we want answers and we want the lockdowns. 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:27.600 And there were a lot of things there. It was 0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:29.760 a protest, it was people having their voices heard, gathered 0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:33.600 together with like minded people. And then there was what 0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:36.359 happened on Capitol Hill, which was a different thing, a 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:40.960 different thing. I wonder if the people who as soon 0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:42.440 as I and I condemned it as soon as I 0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:44.160 saw it, because I knew what was happening was wrong. 0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.600 And I don't care. It doesn't matter, doesn't matter how 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:48.880 many Twitter followers I lose, doesn't matter how many people say, buck, 0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:51.280 I'm gonna you know, I'm who are they gonna go? 0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:53.520 They're gonna go listen to who? Right? I mean, you're 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:58.239 you're gonna who who out there of any consequence of 0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:01.159 any intellectual honesty whatsoever, or is saying, yeah, you know 0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:04.160 what that old Capitol Hill riot, that that was really 0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:09.359 sound thinking, I'm waiting to hear the name. So I 0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:11.240 understand there's a lot of anger and outrage here. But 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:16.240 I'm a part of this family known as conservatism in 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.080 America today. I'm inside the family. So I'm gonna speak 0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:22.120 to people who are also a part of it as 0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:25.640 though their family members, as though we have this commonality, 0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:28.879 we have this bond, and we do that means speaking 0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:30.680
