WEBVTT - The Deep State Gets Trumped 

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the freedom hunt. General Flynn walks free.

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Arrests are made in the shooting of Ahmed Armory, Russia.

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Documents released tell us that some pundits on TV weren't

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>telling the truth. Operation Gideon, the failed overthrow of Venezuela's

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Nicholas Maduro. And we got guests like Glenn Jacobs, Jack Carr,

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 1>and Jesse Kelly coming up. This is the Buck Sexon Show,

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>where the mission or mission is to decode what really

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>matters with passionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>great American. Again, the Buck Sexon Show begins. He's a

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>great guy. Now, he was an innocent man. He is

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>a great gentleman. He was targeted by the Obama administration

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and he was targeted in order to try and take

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 1>down a president. And what they've done is a disgrace.

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>And I hope a big price is going to be paid.

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>A big price should be paid. And there's never been

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>anything like this in the history of our country. What

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 1>they did, what the Obama administration did, is unprecedented, has

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.119
<v Speaker 1>never happened, never happened. A thing like this has never

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 1>happened before the history of our country. Welcome to the

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Buck Saccdent Show. Everyone celebrate a good moment here if

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>you will. After years of being dragged through the mud, bankrupted, ruined,

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>threatening him, threatening his family, the thuggery on display from

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>some of these FBI and DOJ folks was completely jaw dropping.

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>But after years of that, General Flynn is now walking

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>a freeman. Now, this is something we've been waiting for,

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and we've talked about this countless times on the show,

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 1>and it really is the end of at least one

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>chapter here, which is the left's stop at nothing scorched

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Earth war, using the weaponization of the intelligence community, a

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>completely and disgracefully complicit lib media, and every dirty trick

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>and tool the DNC could either push, pay for or

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>otherwise bring into being. With all of that going on,

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>they try to take down General Flynn. It looks like

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>they in the end were unsuccessful. Now, I would note

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not really victory, not yet, or it's not really justice. Now.

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>This is a huge step toward justice, but before we

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 1>could really say that all has been set right in

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>this situation, what we would need to see is a

0:02:55.120 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>number of FBI former FBI now mostly I think all

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>of them FBI agents and perhaps some DJ folks in

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 1>handcuffs facing charges of their own. You might say what

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>charge would they be guilty of? And thought I would

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>just say official misuse of position. It's on the books.

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:16.960
<v Speaker 1>There are all kinds of ways that when you work

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>in the federal government, if they want to go after you,

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 1>if you do something really bad, they can. Now would

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>it stick, would they go to prison? I don't know,

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>but we know what they did was disgusting and Comy

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and McCabe and Yates and you name it, a whole

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>bunch of them struck in Paige. They should be facing

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>criminal charges for what they did. And you know, I'm

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>not somebody that's always running around yelling lock her up,

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>lock him up. I'm not. I'm not a person who

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>does that. This actually demands this. This deserves and demands

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a response in the in the criminal courts. They ruined

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>a person. They used the power that they were entrusted

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>with by the American people to do so. And it

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>was a scheme. It was at a part of it hit.

0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>It was done out of a bitterness against Donald Trump

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and everybody around him. He wasn't supposed to win that

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen election, and he did, and they wanted to

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 1>get even That's what this was. This was their effort

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>to even the score. And with the memos that have

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 1>come out, we see from the FBI agents involved in

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:31.799
<v Speaker 1>this clear entrapment. I mean, this is as as obvious

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>as it could be now. I mean, when you look

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>at the evidence that has come out here, we've had

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 1>to embrace really something of a shift. You know, a

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:46.479
<v Speaker 1>journal's position on General Flynn's prosecution has long been a

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>test of intelligence and ethics, and countless lips have been

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>failing that for years. But now their position on General

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Flynn is really a test of sanity, because believing that

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.359
<v Speaker 1>Flynn's prosecution was legit given facts we now know, is

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>straight up insane, insane in the membrane. This is not

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>something that anybody could still justify. And as you see

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the legions of experts and Democrat politicians appearing on MSNBC

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>and CNN crying over the Flynn decision, all the Justice

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Department has lost its way. Just remember that they were

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>entirely wrong about Russia collusion and the Ukraine phone call

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 1>impeachment farce. So it's been a tough first Trump term

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.599
<v Speaker 1>for them. Let's see how they do, God willing during

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Trump term two, which we're still hoping will happen. And

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I've got to say, between the Waco series on Netflix,

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 1>which I finished last night, and this dismissal by the

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Department of Justice of the case against former National Security

0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Advisor Trump confidant and associate three star general, former DIA

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Director General Michael Flynn, Between the WACOST series and the

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 1>dismissal of Flint case, it's not a good week when

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.480
<v Speaker 1>it comes to public perception of the trustworthiness and judgment

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>of federal law enforcement. Not good stuff. But until the

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>FBI conspirators against Flynn are in prison, we have not

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:28.599
<v Speaker 1>seen justice here. And that means McCabe and that means Komy.

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>They're very fond of using the tool of investigation as

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 1>a weapon against people they don't like. Well, that tool

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.840
<v Speaker 1>can be used and should be used against them. They

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>should be subject to full investigation, and you know what,

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>they should be held accountable for this. If this was

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>not official misuse of position, I want to know what is.

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>If this is not a form of corruption of office.

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Think of the charges that these individuals have brought against

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>people in the past. They set someone up to lie.

0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>He didn't flynn, He didn't even lie. The FBI was

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 1>lying about what they were doing there. They completely abused

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>their discretion with the law under the usage of the

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Logan Act as a pretext for this. I mean, the

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 1>whole thing was absolutely absurd. They should not be allowed

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 1>to get away with it. And this should really frighten

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 1>people that McCabe was acting FBI director and that Comey

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>was FBI director before him. Remember, Comey's not really a lawman.

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>He's a lawyer. He's a sanctimonious, self righteous lawyer. This

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 1>is not a guy who was you know, wrestling crack

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>dealers and you know, saving little girls from being kidnapped

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>across state lines and stuff. It's not the FBI g

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>man that you think of at all. Comy's a lawyer

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>and really a politician, and that he was able to,

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>i know, for multiple administrations of both parties, just keep

0:07:55.840 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>worming his way up the ranks speaks very poorly to

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>what is rewarded within the federal bureaucracy. But it's not

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 1>surprising to me at all. People ask me why I

0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 1>left the federal bureaucracy usually tell him how many hours

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>do you have. How much time do you got. There's

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of corruption and rot, and there's a disincentive

0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>for excellence, for free thinking, for ambition, but ambition within

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>the scope of the mission, not just you know, I'm

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to advance myself up the ranks. I mean holding

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>oneself to a higher standard when it comes to achievement,

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 1>not when it comes to CYA and kissing up to

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.239
<v Speaker 1>the right people in positions of authority within the bureaucracy.

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 1>That's where COMI really excelled playing the system, and now

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>it's time we hold him accountable. You know Andie McCabe

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>who lied under oath and is not being charged, which

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I think is a huge mistake from the DJ's perspective.

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 1>But here's what you have to remember with that if

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>he was charged, he would be charged in Washington, d C.

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.839
<v Speaker 1>Do you think you'd be able to find a jury

0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>of Andie McCabe's peers at this point in DC, which

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:04.559
<v Speaker 1>is ninety seven percent anti Trump, Basically you think you'd

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 1>find a jury that would send any McCabe to prison

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>for lying. Nope, he's a hero of the resistance. So

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>DJ not pressing charges against him. I think as as

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>much as that is just a gut punch. I can

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>see that there's some prudence in it. It feels wrong,

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not saying it's right, but there may be prudence.

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Annie McCabe and others. Of course, they're still going to

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 1>They're still going to be running around spreading their lies

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and their intellectual filth anything in order to justify the

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>decisions they've already made. Attorney General Barr, who, as you know,

0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, elevate any members of the administration or

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:52.079
<v Speaker 1>politicians into being a hero status or anything. That there'

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>are all just people. They make mistakes that we always

0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 1>got to remember that. We applaud them for their good

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>actions and we hope for their good care character, but

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.840
<v Speaker 1>they also they will always disappoint you at some point.

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:07.320
<v Speaker 1>That all said, ag Barr has been the single best

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 1>pick in the cabinet for this administration for the first

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>four years of Trump, in my estimation, the single strongest

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>member of Trump's cabinet, most the most important one, and

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.959
<v Speaker 1>I think he has effectively saved the Trump presidency. I

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>really think that that's a fair thing to say, and

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:27.439
<v Speaker 1>I know that's a big statement, but I think he

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 1>saved it because if you would have. I mean, just

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>look at what And he's a nice man, and he

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>is a well intentioned guy, and I know he likes

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>this radio show. But you know, Attorney General Sessions was

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 1>just not up for the street fight that he was

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 1>thrown into. He just wasn't up for it, which was

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:48.199
<v Speaker 1>a problem. But here's Attorney General Barr, who is up

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.439
<v Speaker 1>for it, who knows how this game is played, who

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>understands who the enemy really is. Here's what he says

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.280
<v Speaker 1>about this decision to drop the charges against General Flynn,

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.319
<v Speaker 1>which is a huge I mean, high five to all

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 1>of you listening to this show and all of us

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>who have been pushing publicly or even just among friends

0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 1>for how this was an injustice and Flynn should be pardoned.

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>We were right and the Libs were wrong. Don't forget that.

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Don't just pass beyond this moment without taking stock of it.

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>And here's the Attorney General saying, oh, yeah, we need

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>to have one standard of justice place six A crime

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 1>cannot be established here. They did not have a basis

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>for a counterintelligence investigation against Flynn at that stage. Does

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the fact remain that he lied? Well, you know, people

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 1>sometimes plead to things that turn out not to be crimes.

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:40.080
<v Speaker 1>What should Americans take away from your actions in the

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Flynn case today? I want to make sure that we

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 1>restore confidence in the system. There's only one standard of justice.

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 1>You really know a lot about a person at this stage,

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>if they've been following this issue and if they're a

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>public voice on it. If they double down now and say, oh,

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 1>it's the corrupt Justice Department. I mean people who are

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>truly just morons. And there's a lot of them out there.

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Was at the Law the law Fair Blog or one

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:10.880
<v Speaker 1>of those sites, one of these ridiculous, these ridiculous websites

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>that has legal experts. They're all, Oh, this is a

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.960
<v Speaker 1>terrible day for the Justice Department. What are they now

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.920
<v Speaker 1>saying that we should have the FBI go after people

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 1>for violations of a Logan Act? The Logan Act is

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 1>so broad, so vague, and so clearly unconstitutional. It hasn't

0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:29.840
<v Speaker 1>been used in one hundred and seventy years or so.

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>But we still should Yeah, we still should go with it.

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Come on, this is absurd, But they cling to this fiction.

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 1>They cling to it. Now, before I get into some

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 1>of their truly pathetic attempts to defend this the meaning

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to defend the media's position here. I just want to

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.319
<v Speaker 1>note one of the things I'm most proud of here

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 1>on the show is that we've for years now, on

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.440
<v Speaker 1>all these issues of Usha collusion everything else. I've always

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 1>been open to all the new facts and data that

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 1>come in, and I have never had to go on

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 1>air on this show and say, wow, I really missed

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>that one. Sorry, guys, wrong on this one. Oh they

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:17.839
<v Speaker 1>really got him. Never happened. You've been supporting me, You've

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 1>agreed with me. We have been right on the injustice

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 1>done to General Flynn for years. I have publicly advocated

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:26.560
<v Speaker 1>all the way up the chain as much as I

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 1>can for a pardon for him. Now it looks like

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>that is no longer necessary, thank Heavens. But it's a

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 1>tough situation out there in the country, and I know

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>we've been through a lot of gloom and doom. Take

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 1>a moment, my friends. Justice it's a wonderful It's a

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 1>delicious thing when it happens, and we're close to it

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.679
<v Speaker 1>now with Flynn. We're not quite there yet. But this

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.199
<v Speaker 1>was a big win and we were on the right

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 1>side of it, and people that looked down their noses

0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.319
<v Speaker 1>at you. People in the media or maybe even in

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>your day to day life who think you're crazy because

0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:03.200
<v Speaker 1>you weren't calling a decorating veteran combat hero who wanted

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 1>to serve his country in the Trump administration like General Flynn,

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 1>because you wouldn't call him a traitor. You were simple,

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.440
<v Speaker 1>You were a rube. You didn't know anything, You didn't

0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:17.200
<v Speaker 1>know any better. Yeah, you were right. I was right.

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 1>They were wrong. Who are the rubes? Now, Libs, you're

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 1>in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>It's a pretty dark place on social media. The very

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 1>first combat after the story broke that I saw on

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Twitter was Prodin If you're listening, high five year asset.

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 1>And there are Russian flags and Russian memes popping up.

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>And now we see Bill Barr really just doing Donald

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump's dirty work. Now he has in his back pocket

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 1>a little age who saw to it to let Flenn go.

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>It is I think breathtaking dishonesty from the Justice Department.

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 1>This is the collapse of the Justice Department. Now, Katiel,

0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 1>you caught my breath with the collapse of the Justice Department.

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 1>This is a case where the fix was in the

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 1>fix is in not good for the rule of law,

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not good for morale, and it's not a fair outcome.

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.520
<v Speaker 1>This is an absolute injustice. Now, don't not worry anyone

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.520
<v Speaker 1>who cares about the rule of law. Mike Flynn's lawyers

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>have been engaged in a smear campaign. This is a

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 1>political and incredibly destructive thing to the rule of law.

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 1>It's all heading towards the president wiping the Muller investigation

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 1>out of the history books, at least as far as

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:43.000
<v Speaker 1>criminal conviction. Oh my, just just bathe in the media

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 1>lib tears for a moment. Oh, it's destroying the dear Jay.

0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 1>That's a credit to NewsBusters who pulled together that montage.

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Is a great montage that they did. NewsBusters says some

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 1>really good stuff. But I gotta say, I gotta say,

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>what are they even How are they even making this argument?

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 1>They never should. It's not it's not possible to tell

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a material lie about a non material investigation because the

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 1>investigation had no predicate. What do these idiots not understand

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 1>If someone in the FBI walks up to me and says, hey,

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>have you ever cheated on your wife? I mean I'm

0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 1>not married, so this would be easy. But but but you know,

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 1>have you ever seen on your wife? And I said no,

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and a turn out that's true. The FBI doesn't get

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 1>to throw me in prison for lying to the FBI.

0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Right if someone's dating an FBI officer, FBI agent rather

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 1>CI officer FBI agent. If someone's dating an FBI agent

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>and the FBI agent's like, hey, we're wor you last

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 1>night and he or she lies, you don't get to

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 1>throw that person in prison for lying to the FBI.

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Do the idiot libs not really understand this. That's what

0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the attorney gents are front you. It's not really a

0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 1>crime because there really was no investigation, there was no

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 1>basis for this. They were and it was clear from

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.879
<v Speaker 1>the conversation that this was a setup. And that's not justice.

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 1>It was pretextual any normal judgement through the side. Let

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 1>me tell you, I'm a little a little concerned about

0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.560
<v Speaker 1>whether Sullivan will delay this. Judge Sullivan, he's crazy. He

0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.920
<v Speaker 1>sometimes gets it right, but he also talked about treason

0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and charges that Flynn wasn't even facing about a year ago,

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.399
<v Speaker 1>and so he's had a Judge Emmett Sullivan has had

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.680
<v Speaker 1>some outbursts in this case where he's just he's out

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>of it, he's nuts, but occasionally he gets stuff right.

0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:36.240
<v Speaker 1>He may slow this down a little bit, say, oh,

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this can really Why is the

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.439
<v Speaker 1>DJ backing office think about and the person who backed

0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.120
<v Speaker 1>off the case or rather made the final determination. They're

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>all saying, Oh, it's a Trump it's a Trump fix.

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 1>The guys were working at the DJ for ten years.

0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.879
<v Speaker 1>He's a career professional and it was his call and

0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>he went to the Attorney General. He said, we we

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.680
<v Speaker 1>can't continue with this. Who really believes that it would

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:03.000
<v Speaker 1>be just what they want? They want Flynn to get

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.720
<v Speaker 1>his zero jail time sentence anyway, that's what he was

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 1>going likely going to get out of this. What do

0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.119
<v Speaker 1>they really think was the victory here? Oh, this was

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:17.720
<v Speaker 1>all about creating some basis for the figment of liberals

0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>imagination that is Russia collusion and that there was all this,

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.960
<v Speaker 1>all these Russian machinations behind the scenes. This was a

0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 1>mass hysteria. Now this is all frightening, folks, because the

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.080
<v Speaker 1>mass hysteria about Russia collusion was really a warning about

0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Now the mass hysteria about endless lockdown with COVID nineteen

0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.520
<v Speaker 1>that we're seeing, but I'll return to that later. Thanks

0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:54.840
<v Speaker 1>every day by you know, saying disgusting things about people,

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.639
<v Speaker 1>and in this case, saying disgusting things about people who

0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 1>dedicated their lives to protecting this country and their fellow citizens.

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:06.440
<v Speaker 1>That's all horrendous, and we're unfortunately used to that by now.

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:11.280
<v Speaker 1>But I would point out that General Flynn was not targeted.

0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:15.760
<v Speaker 1>He was properly investigated in a well predicated case, a

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.480
<v Speaker 1>case that's been a case whose validity has been proven

0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 1>not just by those of us who are involved, but

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 1>later by the Muller investigation and after that by the

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Inspector General's investigation. He was investigated because we had reason

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to believe he presented a threat to national security. I

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 1>still think that those things are worthy of investigation. Apparently

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the President does not. What scum, What a disgusting, slimy

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:50.679
<v Speaker 1>little disgrace this guy. This guy was acting director of

0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the FBI. I mean, he was involved in making decisions

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.359
<v Speaker 1>about who's who was going to be a target of

0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the of the most powerful federal law enforcement agency in

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the United States, one that will investigate cases that involve

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:07.639
<v Speaker 1>any US persons or interests all over the world. I

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 1>mean this, This the FBI is a big deal. And

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the fact that this guy was running it for months

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and before him, James Comey was running it. They thought

0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:22.639
<v Speaker 1>they thought that General Flynn was a threat to national security. No,

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 1>they manufactured a belief that General Flynn was a threat

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 1>to national security. And you know, at some point someone

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:36.119
<v Speaker 1>should just look this little, sleazy, dishonest scum McCabe in

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:41.399
<v Speaker 1>the eyes and say, how blanking dare you? What have

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you done for this country that General Michael Flynn hasn't done?

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:47.159
<v Speaker 1>What do you think you think, because you know, you

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.399
<v Speaker 1>spent a career, you know, mostly locking up guys for

0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:58.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, medicare fraud and running illegal drugs. You know,

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.679
<v Speaker 1>you think you're a hero, but General Flynn is not.

0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're all going to give you the benefit

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 1>of the doubt and oh, you're a great guy, General Flynn.

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.919
<v Speaker 1>He's oh, oh, because he was willing to work for

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:12.919
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration, which it's just it really is. And

0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I've tried not to go here, folks, And I know

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.360
<v Speaker 1>this is a little bit of a digression, but there's

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a part of me that just can't get over how

0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.200
<v Speaker 1>it is. And I know this COVID thing is horrible.

0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:26.600
<v Speaker 1>It's all just also so from a historical sense though,

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:30.879
<v Speaker 1>so unfair that the Trump administration was just crushing it

0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:33.199
<v Speaker 1>and the Libs were in a panic because things were

0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:38.440
<v Speaker 1>so good and we've basically now got a real election

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:40.240
<v Speaker 1>that's going to happen where it's going to be tight,

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:44.359
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be close because of the equivalent of

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, an asteroid hitting the planet. Really, I mean,

0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:49.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, what are you going to do? What are

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.399
<v Speaker 1>you gonna do? But the first three years of Trump

0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:53.920
<v Speaker 1>were three of the Look, there were three of the

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 1>best years of my life. We weren't we weren't all

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:01.840
<v Speaker 1>worried about terrorist attacks all all the time. We weren't

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.359
<v Speaker 1>all wondering if you know, the future was going to

0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:07.880
<v Speaker 1>be brighter economically and if people could get jobs, and

0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:11.520
<v Speaker 1>we weren't starting wars we didn't need to. And you know,

0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:15.600
<v Speaker 1>but now the Libs get lucky, They get lucky with

0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:19.119
<v Speaker 1>the devastation and catastrophe that has hit the entire world.

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:22.640
<v Speaker 1>But now now they can put forward, you know, Biden,

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:26.199
<v Speaker 1>the El SID candidate. Just just put him on that

0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:29.520
<v Speaker 1>horse and send him off into battle, you know, prop

0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:31.760
<v Speaker 1>the body up and just send El Sid out there

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:36.120
<v Speaker 1>and they'll run away. And great movie, by the way,

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 1>worth watching if you've never seen it. Real masterpiece for

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:42.040
<v Speaker 1>what it is. But I go back here to McCabe.

0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand how anyone can take this guy even

0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:50.399
<v Speaker 1>a little bit seriously. I mean, Comey went to Twitter

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:52.919
<v Speaker 1>that this was a dark day for the Department of Justice.

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.159
<v Speaker 1>It's I think it's lost its way as what he

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 1>said about it. That was the quote on Twitter, James Coomy,

0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:02.119
<v Speaker 1>who remember these people that are that are still treated

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:05.240
<v Speaker 1>as having all this credibility, credibility in the media. Their

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:08.080
<v Speaker 1>own institution has found them to be dishonest, to have

0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:12.520
<v Speaker 1>broken rules, to have to have said a horrible example

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 1>for the rank and file of the FBI. And they

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 1>they're not. They're not apologetic at all, not a little bit. McCabe,

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the same guy, the same smarmy little jerk. That's all.

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 1>This was a legitimate investigation and these people were they

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:32.359
<v Speaker 1>were locking people up for years and years and years.

0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you think Comey and McCabe have good judgment about

0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:38.880
<v Speaker 1>who should go to prison? Now you would say, buck,

0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:42.560
<v Speaker 1>they're the prosecutors. Yeah, But the FBI is working hand

0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:45.639
<v Speaker 1>in glove with the prosecutors, and the FBI decides what

0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, the most momentous decision is and

0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the whole apparatus of federal law enforcement who to investigate

0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:57.080
<v Speaker 1>and who not to That's the first step. And to

0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 1>investigate is often to destroy, right if they want to

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:06.040
<v Speaker 1>go after you, just the investigative process. Ask anybody who

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:08.239
<v Speaker 1>you know works at a financial firm or works at

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:11.320
<v Speaker 1>a big company. All it takes is those dudes and

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:15.200
<v Speaker 1>dudets in windbreakers that say FBI to come into your office.

0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't matter if if you two weeks later was whoop,

0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:20.919
<v Speaker 1>see we made a mistake. All it takes is FBI

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 1>to come in your office, photos on TV and in

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the newspaper, and your company may be done and your

0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:31.919
<v Speaker 1>reputation may never recover. So the decision to investigate is

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the first real assault. And then the decision to prosecute

0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:36.640
<v Speaker 1>is the decision to destroys. I've told you, Once you're

0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:39.719
<v Speaker 1>prosecuted as they've done to Flynn. You're bankrupted, You're ruined.

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Where does Flynn go to get his reputation back? I

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:46.920
<v Speaker 1>really mean this too, General Flynn deserves to be back

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:48.960
<v Speaker 1>in the Trump administration. This is not a joke. This

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 1>is not a troll. They robbed him of this, and

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 1>they they will say, oh, but you know he lied

0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:59.280
<v Speaker 1>to Mike Pence. No, now we find out he really

0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the FBI did. Didn't think he lied. He really just

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:05.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't even remember. Because this was such an insignificant conversation

0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:09.200
<v Speaker 1>with Kizoyak, among all the different things that are going

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:13.280
<v Speaker 1>on for an incoming national security advisor, He's basically saying, hey, man,

0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:15.320
<v Speaker 1>just chill, we're coming in. We'll handle things a little

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:18.120
<v Speaker 1>bit differently. Over the course of a conversation. That's it.

0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Nothing illegal about that. It was the right thing to

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:24.960
<v Speaker 1>tell him. What was wrong was Obama being mister tough

0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:27.879
<v Speaker 1>guy as he's leaving office, not going to be in

0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 1>power anymore, and just kicking sand in the eyes of

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 1>the Russians. Why not because he cares about Russia, as

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:36.679
<v Speaker 1>you remember, you know, I will thrown smooth, This will

0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Vladimia right. All of more or or more space toiment

0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 1>over after the next election, after all, the people can't

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:45.440
<v Speaker 1>actually judge me or further stuff I do. And then

0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Obama gets all tough when he's not going to be

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.960
<v Speaker 1>president anymore, makes life harder for the incoming administration. And

0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:53.360
<v Speaker 1>we know that he got all fired up about Russia

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:56.880
<v Speaker 1>because Hilary lost because of Russia interference. Hillary lost because

0:25:56.880 --> 0:26:00.879
<v Speaker 1>she's horrible. All right, we all know it. Oh but no,

0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 1>McCabe still still sticks to the script here, still saying

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:09.159
<v Speaker 1>the usual bull crap man, you know, team, Should I

0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:11.080
<v Speaker 1>do a version? Should I do a podcast where I

0:26:11.080 --> 0:26:13.720
<v Speaker 1>can actually use salty language. I've really been thinking about this.

0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Not for the kids, all right, we'd have an eighteen

0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:17.159
<v Speaker 1>plus warning on. I feel like it'd be fun to

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:21.720
<v Speaker 1>do a like a you know, a Scotch and beer

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:23.720
<v Speaker 1>version I can drink beer, but a Scotch and beer

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 1>version of this podcast for just the adults, where I

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 1>could just do the you know, we'd bring producer market too.

0:26:28.520 --> 0:26:31.480
<v Speaker 1>You want to hear salty language. The man is not shy.

0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, this McCabe then, I mean this just really,

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:37.440
<v Speaker 1>this whole thing rubs me the wrong way, you know,

0:26:37.480 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 1>because I Also remember I had a few run ins

0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:41.919
<v Speaker 1>in mind day, relatively minor ones, but I had a

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:48.400
<v Speaker 1>few run ins with the with the internal security apparatus

0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 1>of the CIA, and they were they were Andy McCabe's,

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:55.159
<v Speaker 1>and they were Jim Comey's, except much lower level. But

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 1>they were bad people. There were bad people who were

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:02.639
<v Speaker 1>bitter and weren't really contributing to the mission. And all

0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:06.720
<v Speaker 1>they do is harass people and just you know, rifle

0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:09.880
<v Speaker 1>through your finances and sift through your underwear drawer and

0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:14.000
<v Speaker 1>see what they find. They're gross, not all of them,

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty much all of them, but most of them. So

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I understand this mentality, Oh, I'm just doing my job. Really,

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you pick when to do your job and when not to.

0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:24.040
<v Speaker 1>So I don't ever say you're not just doing your

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:29.119
<v Speaker 1>job or you're just doing your job. But here's a

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 1>cabe for you. Still still sticking with it. Play clip ten.

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Conservative media has been obsessed with finding some indication of

0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:43.440
<v Speaker 1>a setup since this all started, you know, several years ago.

0:27:43.920 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 1>The simple fact is it absolutely did not happen. And

0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that those notes, if in fact they are

0:27:48.920 --> 0:27:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Bill presteps are, are indicative of that a team got

0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:55.960
<v Speaker 1>together and discussed the strategy, how do we approach this interview?

0:27:56.000 --> 0:27:58.359
<v Speaker 1>What sorts of things should we be thinking about. I

0:27:58.400 --> 0:28:02.840
<v Speaker 1>think those notes reflect one person's internal deliberations across the

0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:06.439
<v Speaker 1>range of options that might that might take place. We

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:09.399
<v Speaker 1>strategize about interviews every day. When we sit down with

0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:11.919
<v Speaker 1>a terrorist, we think about will they admit to the

0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 1>crimes that we think they have committed, or will they

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:18.159
<v Speaker 1>lie about their known associations. If they lie, will that

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:21.160
<v Speaker 1>give us something else, additional leverage that we can apply

0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:25.919
<v Speaker 1>in our investigation. That's exactly what happened with General. What

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:29.440
<v Speaker 1>were they investigating? I mean, that's a real journalist and

0:28:29.560 --> 0:28:34.160
<v Speaker 1>pushed that, I'm sorry, what were you investigating? The Logan Act?

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:38.400
<v Speaker 1>You really think that that's okay? I mean that's where

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:41.400
<v Speaker 1>you have to drill in and look this bed eyed

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:45.720
<v Speaker 1>little scum McCabe right in the face and say, I'm sorry,

0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:49.120
<v Speaker 1>what do you think you're doing? Tough guy, You're going

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:53.720
<v Speaker 1>after a decorated veteran who's the incoming National security advisor

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:59.040
<v Speaker 1>with the Logan Act. They had already been told they

0:28:59.040 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 1>were going to close the counterintelligence investigation on him. They

0:29:04.480 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 1>knew there was nothing And people bring up the thorough registration.

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, my friends, if you know enough about federal law,

0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 1>there are there's a whole book written by Harvey A.

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Silver Gate and it's called like two Felonies a Day

0:29:18.080 --> 0:29:19.880
<v Speaker 1>or five felonies a day, or whatever it is, and

0:29:19.920 --> 0:29:21.520
<v Speaker 1>it's just about all the laws you're breaking all the

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 1>time without even realizing it. But we assume, and we

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have to, but we assume that law enforcement's going

0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:30.480
<v Speaker 1>to prioritize and that you know, you have to actually

0:29:30.520 --> 0:29:33.680
<v Speaker 1>do something bad that hurts someone or something for there

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:36.000
<v Speaker 1>to be consequences against You. Can't just be like, yeah,

0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 1>there's this obscure law that no one's ever really heard

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 1>of and knows about, and you couldn't even define what

0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 1>it is. But we're gonna get you with that one.

0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 1>That's how McKay plays the game, straight out of Lavrenti

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Barria of the Soviet Union would be very proud of

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the mentality that Comy and McCabe have. These people are disgusting.

0:29:55.600 --> 0:29:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I would not shake James Comy's hand. I would not

0:29:58.000 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 1>show James Comy respect in person. I do not think

0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 1>he is deserving of it. I think he's a bad

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:05.520
<v Speaker 1>human being who needs to do a lot of penance.

0:30:05.680 --> 0:30:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Same thing with McCabe. This isn't just some partisan spat.

0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 1>These are people who are undermining the very foundation of

0:30:12.440 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 1>our country's judicial system, of our law enforcement system. They

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:20.719
<v Speaker 1>are breaking faith with the American people with institutions that

0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 1>can do any of us real harm. The greatest threat

0:30:24.160 --> 0:30:27.720
<v Speaker 1>to tyranny that we face is from our own institutions

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:32.960
<v Speaker 1>turning against us and abandoning the constitution for partisan reasons,

0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 1>thinking that they're making the country a better place in

0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:37.840
<v Speaker 1>the process. You know, everyone always thinks there's a good

0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:40.920
<v Speaker 1>reason for whatever they're doing. Doesn't make doesn't mean that

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:44.320
<v Speaker 1>they're right. As we know, every evildoer will have some

0:30:44.400 --> 0:30:48.280
<v Speaker 1>explanation for why they're doing what they do. The fact

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:53.120
<v Speaker 1>that Komian McCabe are likely to escape prison just goes

0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to show you that we still don't have any real

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:59.160
<v Speaker 1>accountability in our system. But thank heavens, General Flynn is

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:01.560
<v Speaker 1>not going to be and not going to have this

0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:05.560
<v Speaker 1>on his record. And if they're I've never seen before

0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:07.680
<v Speaker 1>what happens at this point because he hasn't been sentenced,

0:31:07.680 --> 0:31:10.680
<v Speaker 1>so I'm assuming that they'll they'll wipe this away. They're

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:15.360
<v Speaker 1>dropping the case against him, but Trump should maybe if

0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Trump should just write a pardon for him anyway, just

0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 1>to be just to be on the safe side, and

0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 1>he should bring him back into the administration. He should

0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:25.480
<v Speaker 1>make him a senior advisor, senior advisor for intelligence coordination

0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 1>with law enforcement. How about that. That'd be a great idea.

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:31.680
<v Speaker 1>And have some of these deep state morons who thought

0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:33.600
<v Speaker 1>they knew better than the American people and wanted to

0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:36.400
<v Speaker 1>play games, they'd have to go in and brief Flynn

0:31:36.400 --> 0:31:39.960
<v Speaker 1>when he wants a briefing, answer his questions, write some

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:45.320
<v Speaker 1>memos for him, Go get him some coffee. You're in

0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:48.959
<v Speaker 1>the freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast

0:31:53.960 --> 0:31:58.840
<v Speaker 1>that iconic music screams summer and we all scream for

0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 1>ice scream. But during a pandemic, social distanced the rule

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.719
<v Speaker 1>getting close to the ice cream man could mean getting

0:32:07.760 --> 0:32:11.160
<v Speaker 1>something else. Fact of life. Yet here's mister Freese, not

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:16.719
<v Speaker 1>his name, in his truck of treats, unmasked. Ungloved taking

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:21.240
<v Speaker 1>cash for cones in the Northwest Bergs. That's when CBS

0:32:21.280 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 1>two Assignment editor Greg Kelly, father of two, dad on

0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:26.920
<v Speaker 1>a bike, said, wait a minute, he did. It's a

0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:28.360
<v Speaker 1>good idea to be doing this with the stay at

0:32:28.440 --> 0:32:32.040
<v Speaker 1>home owner the COVID nineteen. Eventually, our Greg got a

0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 1>bit closer, tried to get an answer from mister Free

0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 1>again not his name. Why are you trying to take children?

0:32:42.440 --> 0:32:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Do not worry a mask? Why are you trying? Are

0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you sick? Am? I sick? No? And I want to

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:54.360
<v Speaker 1>say that not ship either. Why are they quarantining healthy people? Wall?

0:32:56.160 --> 0:33:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I hate this, I really do. I mean this CBS

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 1>to affiliate whatever. First of all, you know you're harassing

0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:05.200
<v Speaker 1>a small businessman here. The guy's trying to sell ice cream,

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:06.840
<v Speaker 1>he's trying to make some money, trying to make a living,

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and he's not wearing a mask. The chance of him

0:33:10.040 --> 0:33:13.520
<v Speaker 1>let's just understand this. It is overwhelmingly likely that he

0:33:13.560 --> 0:33:15.720
<v Speaker 1>does not in fact have COVID nineteen. I know we

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:17.800
<v Speaker 1>can't say he definitely doesn't, but it is very likely

0:33:17.800 --> 0:33:20.440
<v Speaker 1>that he does not in fact have COVID nineteen. Okay,

0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:23.960
<v Speaker 1>so that means that he is at zero risk of

0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:27.720
<v Speaker 1>doing anything to anybody else. Even if in fact he

0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:32.160
<v Speaker 1>has COVID nineteen and he has a brief interaction with somebody,

0:33:33.120 --> 0:33:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you would think the chances of them getting COVID nineteen,

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 1>especially if it's children, which is what the whole thing is. Oh,

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:40.920
<v Speaker 1>he might be infecting children. Children. It's difficult for them

0:33:40.960 --> 0:33:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to get this, and if they get it, it is

0:33:43.840 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 1>effectively changes nothing about their have no symptoms, their health

0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:54.320
<v Speaker 1>is not negatively impacted. But you know, instead of going

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:55.520
<v Speaker 1>up to the gun and say, hey, man, could you

0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:57.280
<v Speaker 1>wear some gloves? There's a mask, you know that that's

0:33:57.320 --> 0:33:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the responsible way to do this. If you if you

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:02.480
<v Speaker 1>want to make a thing of it to shame him, yes,

0:34:02.800 --> 0:34:06.040
<v Speaker 1>let's go out there. Let's be the smug journal morons

0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and go ahead and shame the business owner and put

0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 1>him on TV. And you know, how dare he try

0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to feed his family, feed himself, put food on the table,

0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:21.680
<v Speaker 1>pay his rent. Awful? What a terrible man? Are we really?

0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:23.680
<v Speaker 1>How long do these morons think we're gonna have to

0:34:23.680 --> 0:34:26.000
<v Speaker 1>do We're gonna wear masklin gloves forever? Is that their plan?

0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Or until the panic the panic legions decide that it's

0:34:30.640 --> 0:34:33.719
<v Speaker 1>okay for us to start living our lives again. You know,

0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, but other people's unbelievable fear. I mean, we've

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 1>seen this with climate change too. You know, all the

0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 1>world's gonna end. So do everything I say about everything,

0:34:43.520 --> 0:34:45.880
<v Speaker 1>You better recycle. You know, it was interesting here and

0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:48.239
<v Speaker 1>this is a small thing, but here in New York,

0:34:48.280 --> 0:34:51.360
<v Speaker 1>we had the plastic bag band going to effect in

0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:54.160
<v Speaker 1>New York State, in New York City right before this,

0:34:54.360 --> 0:34:57.279
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks before the pandemic really broke out. And

0:34:57.400 --> 0:34:59.440
<v Speaker 1>you know what's happened. Now, I'm getting plastic bags all

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the time. Do you know why? Because when there's real problems,

0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:08.279
<v Speaker 1>people realize that's moronic. It's just annoying, stupid harassment. But

0:35:08.400 --> 0:35:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the baby seals and the plastic bags, and you know what,

0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:14.359
<v Speaker 1>are we gonna do it? No? It was dumb. It

0:35:14.400 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 1>was a dumb rule. It's not even better for the

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:19.479
<v Speaker 1>environment when you look at the impact on trees and

0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:22.960
<v Speaker 1>the fuel ratio for taking the heavier paper bags, and

0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 1>also the disease risk of you know, people not being

0:35:26.200 --> 0:35:29.359
<v Speaker 1>able to people bringing rather these reusable bags which are

0:35:29.440 --> 0:35:31.359
<v Speaker 1>much more likely to have a whole bunch of yeah

0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:35.719
<v Speaker 1>that's right, bacteria, viruses and disease on them. But it

0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:37.920
<v Speaker 1>was stupid, and I told you it was stupid. And

0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:41.160
<v Speaker 1>when this stuff hit the fan, guess what everybody else realized?

0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:44.160
<v Speaker 1>It was in fact, dumb, it was not something we

0:35:44.200 --> 0:35:48.399
<v Speaker 1>should have been doing. Og Now we all figure it out.

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:54.960
<v Speaker 1>There's a need to wear some protection in some places

0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:58.000
<v Speaker 1>at some times. We all understand that. And if you

0:35:58.040 --> 0:36:01.040
<v Speaker 1>really don't want the ice cream the ice cream man

0:36:01.400 --> 0:36:03.319
<v Speaker 1>and you say that, I mean, I will say this,

0:36:04.000 --> 0:36:07.560
<v Speaker 1>should he probably be wearing gloves irrespective of COVID nineteen.

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the answer is yes. I think food service handling,

0:36:10.520 --> 0:36:13.840
<v Speaker 1>so so that I'm a little more like, you know, okay,

0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:16.440
<v Speaker 1>but you know, to say all you have to be

0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:19.760
<v Speaker 1>wearing a mask, we're gonna wear Are we really setting

0:36:19.800 --> 0:36:22.480
<v Speaker 1>up society to wear masks until there's a vaccine? Anytime

0:36:22.480 --> 0:36:27.040
<v Speaker 1>you go outside when outdoor transmission or a brief, brief

0:36:27.120 --> 0:36:31.120
<v Speaker 1>moment in contact with somebody unless they're breathing right on

0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:34.680
<v Speaker 1>your face, is very unlikely to spread this virus. Is

0:36:34.719 --> 0:36:37.799
<v Speaker 1>that what we're really accepting now? I've got to tell you,

0:36:37.840 --> 0:36:41.439
<v Speaker 1>I really the virtue signaling from people on this. Look,

0:36:41.440 --> 0:36:44.239
<v Speaker 1>it's a complicated, difficult thing, and we're losing We're still

0:36:44.239 --> 0:36:46.320
<v Speaker 1>losing a lot of really losing a lot of seniors.

0:36:46.320 --> 0:36:49.080
<v Speaker 1>That's who we're losing as a result of this, which

0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:53.200
<v Speaker 1>is tragic and This is a tough time for the country,

0:36:53.680 --> 0:37:00.160
<v Speaker 1>but this has now become so thoroughly politicized, and it's

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.799
<v Speaker 1>it's just wrong on every level. This is not about

0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:06.399
<v Speaker 1>left and right. It shouldn't be about pro Trump anti Trump,

0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:08.719
<v Speaker 1>but that's what the leftist turned it into. You know,

0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:13.520
<v Speaker 1>if you disagree with wearing a mask forever, you're probably

0:37:13.520 --> 0:37:18.319
<v Speaker 1>one of those gun total Second Amendment liking Constitution reading folks. Well,

0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:23.759
<v Speaker 1>at least they released Shelley Luther in Texas. That was

0:37:23.800 --> 0:37:26.520
<v Speaker 1>a victory for sanity, but there's still a lot of

0:37:26.520 --> 0:37:29.320
<v Speaker 1>crazy people out there and shaming small business owners for

0:37:29.440 --> 0:37:33.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to open. It's not cool. Thanks for listening to

0:37:33.120 --> 0:37:37.400

0:37:42.120 --> 0:37:45.480
<v Speaker 1>everybody to give us a little additional freedom perspective, a

0:37:45.560 --> 0:37:47.920
<v Speaker 1>focus on liberty at a time when the country's liberty

0:37:47.960 --> 0:37:50.960
<v Speaker 1>seems to be in tremendous peril. We are joined by

0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Glenn Jacobs. He is the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee.

0:37:55.000 --> 0:37:57.319
<v Speaker 1>Also familiar to many of you, I'm sure, as the

0:37:57.560 --> 0:38:02.760
<v Speaker 1>WWE wrestler formerly known as Kane he joins us. Now, Glenn,

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:05.879
<v Speaker 1>great to have you on, sir, Thanks Puck, I appreciate it. So,

0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:09.040
<v Speaker 1>my friend, what is good? First let's start with Tennessee

0:38:09.080 --> 0:38:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll take this nationwide. We're in the midst

0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:15.600
<v Speaker 1>of this lockdown. Still, some states are reopening a little bit.

0:38:16.000 --> 0:38:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I've read a little that Nashville has had some cases

0:38:18.520 --> 0:38:20.680
<v Speaker 1>and there's been you know, there's been a bit of

0:38:20.680 --> 0:38:24.000
<v Speaker 1>a scare there. But how are you guys doing statewide?

0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:26.440
<v Speaker 1>How has your governor been in this process? Telling me,

0:38:26.560 --> 0:38:28.920
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about how Tennessee's handling COVID, then we'll talk

0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:32.920
<v Speaker 1>about the national response. Sure, Tennessee did not go nearly

0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:36.360
<v Speaker 1>as far as many other states did with executive orders.

0:38:36.719 --> 0:38:40.920
<v Speaker 1>There was a safer at home ordered issued obey. It

0:38:41.080 --> 0:38:44.759
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like California and some other places where we see

0:38:44.840 --> 0:38:50.200
<v Speaker 1>really draconian enforcement. You know, some restaurants and bars were

0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:53.400
<v Speaker 1>closed and now they're back to living in capacity, and

0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:56.440
<v Speaker 1>some other businesses were closed. But overall, we didn't go

0:38:56.840 --> 0:38:59.399
<v Speaker 1>nearly as far as other states. We're starting to move

0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 1>in the other direction now, we're starting to open things

0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:07.720
<v Speaker 1>back up, and we probably don't get as much press

0:39:07.760 --> 0:39:09.759
<v Speaker 1>as Saint Georgia did when when they did it, But

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:12.839
<v Speaker 1>we're still that we're right there with them as far

0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 1>as what we're doing, and compared to every pels, I

0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:19.440
<v Speaker 1>guess that's some pretty aggressive opening businesses up, and I

0:39:19.480 --> 0:39:22.880
<v Speaker 1>mean just allowing people to get back out. We're speaking

0:39:22.920 --> 0:39:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to Glenn Jacobs, he's the mayor of Knox County. Mayor Jacobs. Well,

0:39:28.800 --> 0:39:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the country, it seems to me, had this panic reaction

0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and it was based in and Look, there were a

0:39:34.840 --> 0:39:36.600
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks there where I was like, well, I guess,

0:39:36.719 --> 0:39:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if we're really facing what they're saying, we're

0:39:38.680 --> 0:39:40.640
<v Speaker 1>facing in the way that they're telling us it's going

0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 1>to happen. We don't seem to have a lot of choice.

0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:45.920
<v Speaker 1>But we've gone from fifteen days to stop the spread

0:39:46.000 --> 0:39:49.560
<v Speaker 1>to now fifty some odd days to stop the spread,

0:39:49.640 --> 0:39:52.200
<v Speaker 1>although there is some, as you said, some reopening in

0:39:52.239 --> 0:39:57.160
<v Speaker 1>some places. Have you been surprised by the speed and

0:39:57.239 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the ease with which so many people seem to have

0:40:01.840 --> 0:40:04.319
<v Speaker 1>relieve or allowed the state to relieve them of their

0:40:04.320 --> 0:40:10.320
<v Speaker 1>liberties in this situation. I really have, And it's really

0:40:10.760 --> 0:40:14.359
<v Speaker 1>it's disturbing because, as you said, it went from an

0:40:14.400 --> 0:40:17.760
<v Speaker 1>idea of flattening the curse of the healthcare system wouldn't

0:40:17.760 --> 0:40:19.880
<v Speaker 1>be overloaded, which is something I think that we can

0:40:19.920 --> 0:40:23.240
<v Speaker 1>all look at and say, Okay, that's reasonable, although again

0:40:23.320 --> 0:40:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm yeah, you know, I don't think that the government

0:40:26.440 --> 0:40:30.319
<v Speaker 1>should be mandating the people stay inside or mandating a

0:40:30.320 --> 0:40:32.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of things that went on. But you can understand

0:40:32.800 --> 0:40:34.480
<v Speaker 1>for a short period of time, as we said in

0:40:34.480 --> 0:40:36.880
<v Speaker 1>fifteen days, to flatten the curve. Okay, Well then it

0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:41.759
<v Speaker 1>went to well actually now we can't. We can't go

0:40:41.840 --> 0:40:45.239
<v Speaker 1>back out, and we can't open businesses until there's a vaccine.

0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:47.799
<v Speaker 1>It's like, well, wait a second. You guys said one thing,

0:40:47.920 --> 0:40:50.160
<v Speaker 1>now you're saying something else, and you've gone you know,

0:40:50.200 --> 0:40:53.000
<v Speaker 1>if you actually read what like Neil Ferguson from the

0:40:53.080 --> 0:40:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Imperial College of London said with their report, which was

0:40:56.160 --> 0:40:58.480
<v Speaker 1>the one that caused everyone to completely freak out, which

0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:01.480
<v Speaker 1>was two point two million deaths in America, they said

0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:03.680
<v Speaker 1>that if you're going to do lockdown route that that

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:06.160
<v Speaker 1>can be up to eighteen months. And I was going

0:41:06.200 --> 0:41:09.080
<v Speaker 1>on a any second, we there, we'll leave you in

0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 1>a stone age. If we go on an eighteen month lockdown.

0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:15.880
<v Speaker 1>This is not possible, and even Fergus in his report

0:41:16.239 --> 0:41:19.960
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge that. And the thing is, too we have these models,

0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and the models keep on changing, and of course the

0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:23.719
<v Speaker 1>models are only as good as the data, and they

0:41:23.719 --> 0:41:25.560
<v Speaker 1>don't predict the future. I don't think that they ever

0:41:25.640 --> 0:41:29.080
<v Speaker 1>really should have been used for public policy purposes. They

0:41:29.080 --> 0:41:31.839
<v Speaker 1>should have been used for epidemiological purposes, and look at

0:41:31.840 --> 0:41:35.200
<v Speaker 1>the spread, and certainly policymakers maybe should have taken them

0:41:35.200 --> 0:41:39.799
<v Speaker 1>into account. But that became the driving force behind all

0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:42.799
<v Speaker 1>these policy decisions. And then the problem with that buck

0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:45.279
<v Speaker 1>is as a as an elected official, I have to

0:41:45.280 --> 0:41:47.680
<v Speaker 1>look at this big picture, you know, this big puzzle

0:41:48.120 --> 0:41:51.400
<v Speaker 1>of the community's overall well being in health, and certainly

0:41:51.960 --> 0:41:54.239
<v Speaker 1>displays into that you also have to think about the

0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:57.120
<v Speaker 1>economic health with the community. And you know, for the

0:41:57.160 --> 0:42:00.920
<v Speaker 1>folks out there that think, well, you're putting profits of people, know,

0:42:01.320 --> 0:42:03.400
<v Speaker 1>if you don't have a healthy economy, you're not going

0:42:03.440 --> 0:42:05.920
<v Speaker 1>to have healthy people. And what we've done now is

0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:09.680
<v Speaker 1>we've concentrated so much on the public health aspect that

0:42:09.719 --> 0:42:12.960
<v Speaker 1>we've forgotten about everything else. And then we don't even

0:42:12.960 --> 0:42:16.120
<v Speaker 1>know if if this lockdown strategy is going to work.

0:42:16.120 --> 0:42:19.680
<v Speaker 1>When you look at these statistics from various countries and

0:42:19.840 --> 0:42:23.920
<v Speaker 1>compare those that we don't know that it actually works.

0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:25.880
<v Speaker 1>And then we don't know what the arc of the

0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:28.680
<v Speaker 1>disease looks like because there's things like her immunity. And

0:42:29.000 --> 0:42:32.239
<v Speaker 1>if you have a lockdown and people go back out,

0:42:32.320 --> 0:42:33.759
<v Speaker 1>well they are you going to have a second way?

0:42:33.800 --> 0:42:35.960
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of an answer questions and we've just

0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:38.480
<v Speaker 1>said okay, and it's fine, this government do whatever you

0:42:38.520 --> 0:42:40.680
<v Speaker 1>need to do protect us, and we will trust you.

0:42:41.160 --> 0:42:43.680
<v Speaker 1>And that's a very dangerous throat to beyond in history

0:42:43.680 --> 0:42:46.399
<v Speaker 1>show since that we're speaking Glenn Jacobs, he's the mayor

0:42:46.520 --> 0:42:51.640
<v Speaker 1>of Knox County, Tennessee. Mayor Jacobs. The debt is also

0:42:52.000 --> 0:42:54.239
<v Speaker 1>something that I mean, at least when I came into

0:42:54.280 --> 0:42:56.759
<v Speaker 1>conservative media about a decade a decade ago, there was

0:42:56.760 --> 0:42:58.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of concern about the debt. Well, it's gotten

0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:01.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot worse since and what we see going on

0:43:01.120 --> 0:43:04.839
<v Speaker 1>now is truly unprecedented. You're going to end up with,

0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, no one really knows right now, but trillions

0:43:08.080 --> 0:43:12.160
<v Speaker 1>of dollars of additional spending. And also, I think, and

0:43:12.200 --> 0:43:14.120
<v Speaker 1>this is the part of this that people haven't factored

0:43:14.160 --> 0:43:17.760
<v Speaker 1>in trillions of dollars less in tax receipts and revenue

0:43:17.800 --> 0:43:19.920
<v Speaker 1>across the board too, right, So we're going to be

0:43:19.960 --> 0:43:22.120
<v Speaker 1>spending a whole lot more money as a government, and

0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the government at the end of the year is going

0:43:23.600 --> 0:43:26.279
<v Speaker 1>to be taking in a whole lot less money. So

0:43:26.320 --> 0:43:28.640
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be a gulf that's wider than people

0:43:28.680 --> 0:43:32.080
<v Speaker 1>even recognize. How do you see that pressure playing out

0:43:32.120 --> 0:43:34.960
<v Speaker 1>in the economy And how worried are you about the

0:43:35.040 --> 0:43:38.480
<v Speaker 1>prospect of just the United States being at in the

0:43:38.520 --> 0:43:41.000
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood of thirty trillion dollars in debt by the end

0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:43.399
<v Speaker 1>of this year, which some are saying is possible. I'm

0:43:43.480 --> 0:43:45.640
<v Speaker 1>very worried about that. In fact, I'm much more worried

0:43:45.640 --> 0:43:48.720
<v Speaker 1>about that than I am. The direct impact of COVID nineteen.

0:43:49.360 --> 0:43:53.440
<v Speaker 1>COVID nineteen is a serious of public health fish and

0:43:53.520 --> 0:43:57.880
<v Speaker 1>it's something certainly that needed to be addressed. But what's

0:43:57.880 --> 0:44:01.000
<v Speaker 1>happened now with the way that we react did is

0:44:01.239 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 1>we've caused an economic collapse that's gonna end up bringing

0:44:07.200 --> 0:44:10.800
<v Speaker 1>in a monetary and physical crisis which is going to

0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:14.080
<v Speaker 1>cause political upheap. It at some point, as you said,

0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:16.080
<v Speaker 1>we're going to come out of this for thirty trillion

0:44:16.080 --> 0:44:18.680
<v Speaker 1>dollars from debt. In two thousand and eight when we

0:44:18.719 --> 0:44:22.160
<v Speaker 1>had the Great Recession, country had about ten trillion dollars

0:44:22.200 --> 0:44:24.680
<v Speaker 1>from debt. And you look at what was done then,

0:44:24.719 --> 0:44:27.839
<v Speaker 1>and this was a huge event. It pales in comparison

0:44:28.080 --> 0:44:29.960
<v Speaker 1>to what's going on right now as far as the

0:44:30.000 --> 0:44:32.520
<v Speaker 1>amount of money of the thorough government spending. We should

0:44:32.520 --> 0:44:35.120
<v Speaker 1>all keep in mind the federal government doesn't happen money.

0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:37.600
<v Speaker 1>The Federal Reserve can print money, and that's what's happening

0:44:37.719 --> 0:44:40.720
<v Speaker 1>right now, and that's going to have the dilitaries effect

0:44:40.760 --> 0:44:43.799
<v Speaker 1>on the dollar purchasing power dollar and the strength of

0:44:43.800 --> 0:44:47.239
<v Speaker 1>the dollar. Currently we're in Bretton Woods two is the

0:44:47.280 --> 0:44:50.000
<v Speaker 1>world monetary system. I think we can all assume at

0:44:50.000 --> 0:44:52.680
<v Speaker 1>this point in Bretton Wood too is debt and something

0:44:52.719 --> 0:44:54.680
<v Speaker 1>else is going to replace that. None of us knows

0:44:54.760 --> 0:44:58.319
<v Speaker 1>what that is, but that's what I see, is I

0:44:58.360 --> 0:45:03.800
<v Speaker 1>see in the end the the monetary situation, the fiscal situation. Currently,

0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the federal government pays about four hundred billion dollars a

0:45:06.440 --> 0:45:10.719
<v Speaker 1>year in debt service on twenty three, twenty four twenty

0:45:10.760 --> 0:45:12.800
<v Speaker 1>dollars in debt. That's going to grow up even higher.

0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:17.839
<v Speaker 1>They're trying to offset a deflationary spiral by throwing all

0:45:17.840 --> 0:45:20.840
<v Speaker 1>this money into the economy. That's going to take a

0:45:20.880 --> 0:45:22.560
<v Speaker 1>lot for that to happen because people just starting to

0:45:22.800 --> 0:45:26.040
<v Speaker 1>spend money that the money circulation and velocity of money

0:45:26.360 --> 0:45:29.359
<v Speaker 1>is very low, so inflation is going to be very low,

0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:31.560
<v Speaker 1>and economists and the Fed, they're just going to keep

0:45:31.560 --> 0:45:34.320
<v Speaker 1>on saying, throw more money, throw more money, throw more money.

0:45:34.480 --> 0:45:37.400
<v Speaker 1>So you actually have an inflationary bomb in the economy.

0:45:37.800 --> 0:45:40.080
<v Speaker 1>And when things start picking back up, and that inflation

0:45:40.120 --> 0:45:42.680
<v Speaker 1>starts picking back up because of the huge amount of

0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:45.080
<v Speaker 1>debt service that the federal government has to pay, they're

0:45:45.080 --> 0:45:46.920
<v Speaker 1>not going to be older raisins strates like they have

0:45:47.000 --> 0:45:49.959
<v Speaker 1>in the past. So a long term, over the next

0:45:50.600 --> 0:45:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many years, however long it takes,

0:45:53.520 --> 0:45:56.080
<v Speaker 1>the US, unfortunately, is going to be in a very

0:45:56.120 --> 0:45:59.680
<v Speaker 1>precarious situation. Speaking in Glenn Jacobs, mayor of Knox County

0:45:59.680 --> 0:46:02.399
<v Speaker 1>towny See and may or to that end, I want

0:46:02.440 --> 0:46:05.880
<v Speaker 1>to know what the picture is for small businesses. I mean,

0:46:05.920 --> 0:46:09.160
<v Speaker 1>your county has hundreds of thousands of residents, so obviously

0:46:09.200 --> 0:46:12.439
<v Speaker 1>a lot of businesses that are shut down right now

0:46:12.560 --> 0:46:15.840
<v Speaker 1>must be struggling mightily. I know the Paycheck Protection Program.

0:46:15.880 --> 0:46:19.880
<v Speaker 1>We had Monica Crowley from Treasury on my show earlier

0:46:19.880 --> 0:46:21.360
<v Speaker 1>in the week on one of my shows earlier in

0:46:21.400 --> 0:46:24.080
<v Speaker 1>the week talking about what PPP has done, but even

0:46:24.160 --> 0:46:26.400
<v Speaker 1>she admitted, look, it's the government program. It's not perfect,

0:46:26.440 --> 0:46:29.960
<v Speaker 1>but it's helping. But what are you hearing from small

0:46:29.960 --> 0:46:33.080
<v Speaker 1>business owners and what are your concerns about the ability

0:46:33.080 --> 0:46:36.839
<v Speaker 1>of both businesses currently shutter to reopen and people who

0:46:37.120 --> 0:46:39.800
<v Speaker 1>have lost as we know what twenty some odd million

0:46:39.880 --> 0:46:42.840
<v Speaker 1>now have officially lost jobs, probably more like thirty million overall.

0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:45.280
<v Speaker 1>But of the people who have lost jobs in your state,

0:46:45.440 --> 0:46:48.000
<v Speaker 1>that they'll be able to get those jobs back, that's

0:46:48.000 --> 0:46:51.919
<v Speaker 1>a huge issue. Small businesses could be the ones most

0:46:51.920 --> 0:46:55.799
<v Speaker 1>by this. The large businesses, the national chains, they have

0:46:55.960 --> 0:46:58.279
<v Speaker 1>the revenue of the capital to survive something like this.

0:46:58.600 --> 0:47:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Small businesses don't. And even now, what we're doing in

0:47:01.920 --> 0:47:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Knos County, in the state of Tennessee, we have a

0:47:04.800 --> 0:47:09.680
<v Speaker 1>gradual RePhase I'm sorry, gradual phased opening plan, which is

0:47:09.840 --> 0:47:13.319
<v Speaker 1>of course better than nothing, but still now businesses have

0:47:13.480 --> 0:47:16.680
<v Speaker 1>had in some cases no revenue for a month or

0:47:16.719 --> 0:47:20.240
<v Speaker 1>six weeks, and now they're going to get like maybe half,

0:47:20.520 --> 0:47:24.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe twenty five percent of their normal revenue. Businesses can't

0:47:24.040 --> 0:47:28.080
<v Speaker 1>survive like that. And again, especially especially the small businesses,

0:47:28.120 --> 0:47:31.440
<v Speaker 1>which are going to be hard the worst, and those

0:47:31.560 --> 0:47:34.360
<v Speaker 1>are the backbone of our economy. They're the backbone of

0:47:34.400 --> 0:47:37.160
<v Speaker 1>our local economy, they're the backbone of the national economy.

0:47:37.480 --> 0:47:39.799
<v Speaker 1>And then if you think about people coming back to work,

0:47:41.600 --> 0:47:44.160
<v Speaker 1>an issue with now the federal government trying to help

0:47:44.239 --> 0:47:47.160
<v Speaker 1>people is the fact that in some cases they're making

0:47:47.200 --> 0:47:50.520
<v Speaker 1>more money on unemployment than an employer can afford to

0:47:50.560 --> 0:47:52.640
<v Speaker 1>pay them. So they're going to want to stay on

0:47:52.719 --> 0:47:55.120
<v Speaker 1>that and rightfully so I don't blame them for as

0:47:55.120 --> 0:47:57.480
<v Speaker 1>long as they can, which is going to cause another

0:47:57.520 --> 0:48:02.160
<v Speaker 1>impact in the labor markets. So as you point out,

0:48:02.200 --> 0:48:06.279
<v Speaker 1>it's the big guys for the most part, I'm not

0:48:06.280 --> 0:48:08.600
<v Speaker 1>going to say to be okay, we've seen some bankruptcies

0:48:08.640 --> 0:48:11.520
<v Speaker 1>and big companies, but they're much more prepared and much

0:48:11.560 --> 0:48:15.279
<v Speaker 1>more equipped to whether this than the small businesses. And

0:48:15.320 --> 0:48:17.839
<v Speaker 1>of course the small businesses that that's our neighbors. It's

0:48:17.880 --> 0:48:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the mom and pop shops that many to go to

0:48:21.120 --> 0:48:25.560
<v Speaker 1>and support and the people that are involved in our community,

0:48:26.120 --> 0:48:29.759
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's really a travesty. One of my messages

0:48:29.920 --> 0:48:32.200
<v Speaker 1>is always, to the extent that you can, and to

0:48:32.280 --> 0:48:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the extent that you're comfortable. Please support your local small

0:48:35.920 --> 0:48:38.040
<v Speaker 1>business if you want, if you want to see them.

0:48:38.080 --> 0:48:41.080
<v Speaker 1>After all this is over and there's own business. It's

0:48:41.160 --> 0:48:42.960
<v Speaker 1>up to us right now to do the most that

0:48:42.960 --> 0:48:46.319
<v Speaker 1>we can to help support them. Mayor Glenn Jacobs, thanks

0:48:46.360 --> 0:48:48.640
<v Speaker 1>so much, sir. I'll be out in Tennessee soon. Hopefully

0:48:48.640 --> 0:48:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you guys will all be open. We can get a

0:48:49.880 --> 0:48:53.440
<v Speaker 1>beer a little bit up please, Buck, thank you, you

0:48:53.560 --> 0:48:58.839
<v Speaker 1>take care. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the

0:48:58.880 --> 0:49:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton Show podcast. Pandemics have been in the world before,

0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and people survived them. We of course, could have survived

0:49:11.160 --> 0:49:16.279
<v Speaker 1>this much better if idiot had done the right thing

0:49:16.440 --> 0:49:18.839
<v Speaker 1>and listened and heated all the warnings. There were many,

0:49:18.880 --> 0:49:22.000
<v Speaker 1>many warnings and we are all paying for it now.

0:49:24.239 --> 0:49:27.040
<v Speaker 1>It would have been bad, maybe in some ways, but

0:49:27.239 --> 0:49:31.360
<v Speaker 1>never like this. Hey, Robert de Niro thinks that it

0:49:31.360 --> 0:49:33.800
<v Speaker 1>would have been bad, but it wouldn't have been that bad.

0:49:33.840 --> 0:49:38.600
<v Speaker 1>But you know the idiot who doesn't like and you know, hey,

0:49:38.600 --> 0:49:41.799
<v Speaker 1>it's he doesn't like Trump. Why do we have to

0:49:41.840 --> 0:49:44.359
<v Speaker 1>hear from Robert DeNiro about pandemic response. I mean early,

0:49:44.760 --> 0:49:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm just wondering, does he know anything other than how

0:49:47.680 --> 0:49:51.120
<v Speaker 1>to play basically the same character in a bunch of granted,

0:49:51.320 --> 0:49:54.240
<v Speaker 1>some very watchable movies. You know, we give credit words

0:49:54.280 --> 0:49:58.560
<v Speaker 1>due here. Casino actually a producer. Mark, Is Casino a

0:49:58.560 --> 0:50:01.359
<v Speaker 1>better movie or good Fellows a better movie? No, that's

0:50:01.480 --> 0:50:03.879
<v Speaker 1>that's a good Fellows. Yeah, I think I think good

0:50:03.880 --> 0:50:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Fellows is the right choice there. Casino is a little

0:50:06.320 --> 0:50:08.799
<v Speaker 1>bit soul crushing, you know, it's I mean not that

0:50:08.840 --> 0:50:10.799
<v Speaker 1>there's not some of that and good Fellows too, but

0:50:10.920 --> 0:50:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Casino is, like it gets kind of just too depressing

0:50:13.160 --> 0:50:15.200
<v Speaker 1>toward the end. I found, you know, it's really you

0:50:15.280 --> 0:50:17.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of you end up watching the movie. You're just like, oh,

0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:20.920
<v Speaker 1>humanity is doomed. This is bad. But there's some very

0:50:21.040 --> 0:50:23.080
<v Speaker 1>very watchable movies, very good things. I actually think that

0:50:23.760 --> 0:50:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Meet the Parents is one of his better movies. You know,

0:50:27.120 --> 0:50:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Little Jigsy, Little Jigsy, little little milking the cat Jigsy. Yeah,

0:50:31.480 --> 0:50:34.239
<v Speaker 1>I love those movies. That's a crazy really that's a

0:50:34.239 --> 0:50:37.680
<v Speaker 1>great movie to me. The funniest parts of Meet the

0:50:37.920 --> 0:50:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Parents were the Jigsy the cat thing, and then also

0:50:42.160 --> 0:50:44.120
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like we've all been there before, where

0:50:44.120 --> 0:50:46.279
<v Speaker 1>we're forced to be in some kind of a competitive

0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:50.040
<v Speaker 1>environment where you don't really want to compete, but like

0:50:50.200 --> 0:50:52.320
<v Speaker 1>now you're now people are like, well, why aren't you

0:50:52.360 --> 0:50:53.840
<v Speaker 1>better at this? And then you kind of turn it

0:50:53.880 --> 0:50:55.960
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit and now you're the guy who's trying.

0:50:56.040 --> 0:50:58.359
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's like you're playing flag football with someone

0:50:58.400 --> 0:51:00.960
<v Speaker 1>else's family and you're getting and thrown in the bushes,

0:51:01.000 --> 0:51:02.520
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden, you try kind of hard,

0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:04.600
<v Speaker 1>and you know, somebody gets a bloody nose from your

0:51:04.600 --> 0:51:07.839
<v Speaker 1>elbow and the lover look's wrong with you. We've all

0:51:07.920 --> 0:51:11.239
<v Speaker 1>been there before. I think that it's if you it's

0:51:11.360 --> 0:51:12.920
<v Speaker 1>co ed sports too. If you're ever in a co

0:51:13.080 --> 0:51:15.160
<v Speaker 1>ed sports environment wherevere's kind of like drinking beer and

0:51:15.200 --> 0:51:18.360
<v Speaker 1>having fun and playing volleyball and then you like start

0:51:18.400 --> 0:51:20.239
<v Speaker 1>missing anyway, that's what happens. To meet the parent the

0:51:20.280 --> 0:51:23.479
<v Speaker 1>volleyball seat in the pool is amazing. I mean, that's

0:51:24.239 --> 0:51:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that's one for the ages. I thought, what's your favorite scene, producer,

0:51:28.080 --> 0:51:31.399
<v Speaker 1>Mark oh Man, that's hard. I mean, I think I'm

0:51:31.400 --> 0:51:34.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna say from Meet the Fockers, when Jinxi ends up

0:51:34.840 --> 0:51:37.480
<v Speaker 1>in the toilet in the RV because the dog shoved

0:51:37.520 --> 0:51:39.960
<v Speaker 1>him in the toilet. I haven't even seen Meet the Fock.

0:51:40.080 --> 0:51:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh those are. It's a great continuation. That's why I

0:51:42.239 --> 0:51:45.279
<v Speaker 1>say it's the meat Meet the Parents series, because there's

0:51:45.280 --> 0:51:46.759
<v Speaker 1>a couple of them. I mean, I will. I think

0:51:46.800 --> 0:51:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Meet the Parents is the best thing that Ben Stiller

0:51:50.040 --> 0:51:53.480
<v Speaker 1>ever did, other than There's Something About Mary, which is

0:51:53.560 --> 0:51:56.280
<v Speaker 1>an amazing movie to go back and watch, just because

0:51:56.320 --> 0:52:01.520
<v Speaker 1>it's really a time capsule of how much society has

0:52:01.640 --> 0:52:06.120
<v Speaker 1>changed and what it considers to be acceptable for entertainment purposes.

0:52:06.520 --> 0:52:10.080
<v Speaker 1>There is so much in There's Something About Mary you

0:52:10.120 --> 0:52:13.560
<v Speaker 1>would never be able to get away with now. I

0:52:13.600 --> 0:52:16.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like you can say that about almost every older

0:52:16.640 --> 0:52:19.560
<v Speaker 1>television show from like the nineties, early two thousands. Oh,

0:52:19.600 --> 0:52:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Friends has a lot of Friends, makes a lot of

0:52:23.600 --> 0:52:29.200
<v Speaker 1>LGBTQ community kind of jokes and fat jokes, And there's

0:52:29.200 --> 0:52:31.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of stuff even in Friends, which you think

0:52:31.080 --> 0:52:37.000
<v Speaker 1>is the most saccharine, corporate friendly, sponsor friendly show imaginable.

0:52:37.000 --> 0:52:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, you there's a lot of stuff. There have

0:52:39.160 --> 0:52:41.600
<v Speaker 1>actually been articles written by people at Vox and other

0:52:42.040 --> 0:52:45.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, beta mail establishments about how Friends is. You know,

0:52:45.320 --> 0:52:47.560
<v Speaker 1>we shouldn't be celebrating it anymore. You know, I was

0:52:47.600 --> 0:52:50.680
<v Speaker 1>watching Disney with the Snow Princess. We were watching the

0:52:50.880 --> 0:52:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Aristocrats and as one does. So now you guys all

0:52:54.520 --> 0:52:55.839
<v Speaker 1>know while I've been in a Disney kick too, it's

0:52:55.840 --> 0:52:58.200
<v Speaker 1>because Snow Princess and she likes to watch Disney suns.

0:52:58.200 --> 0:53:00.800
<v Speaker 1>She likes Disney films. So we watched Lion King recently.

0:53:00.800 --> 0:53:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Lion King's great. Still moves really well too, It's still great, yeah,

0:53:06.040 --> 0:53:08.480
<v Speaker 1>still grow, it's great. Oh, the old Disney stuff is fantastic.

0:53:08.480 --> 0:53:11.239
<v Speaker 1>The newer Disney stuff is not really as good. But

0:53:11.440 --> 0:53:13.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're watching the even the Auristic Cats, and

0:53:13.640 --> 0:53:16.719
<v Speaker 1>they had I've never seen this warning before. Disney puts

0:53:16.840 --> 0:53:19.600
<v Speaker 1>up in the you know, like when they tell you

0:53:19.680 --> 0:53:21.680
<v Speaker 1>that in a movie that there's you know, nuderdy strong

0:53:21.760 --> 0:53:26.600
<v Speaker 1>language whatever. They had a warning about outdated cultural stereotypes

0:53:28.200 --> 0:53:31.640
<v Speaker 1>that now you can't have outdated cultural stereotypes in movies

0:53:31.719 --> 0:53:35.719
<v Speaker 1>or you'll get in trouble. So, for example, the Siamese

0:53:35.880 --> 0:53:39.799
<v Speaker 1>cats in a Lady in the Tramp they've I think

0:53:39.800 --> 0:53:42.719
<v Speaker 1>they cut that out of some versions of it. Now, Um,

0:53:42.880 --> 0:53:45.759
<v Speaker 1>you can't do that. So I'm just saying you know,

0:53:45.920 --> 0:53:48.879
<v Speaker 1>they're even Disney, even the old Disney movies you can't

0:53:48.880 --> 0:53:51.520
<v Speaker 1>get away with. And a lot of the old cartoons.

0:53:52.360 --> 0:53:54.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, a lot of the old cartoons. I think

0:53:54.040 --> 0:53:56.520
<v Speaker 1>people would have a problem with now too. But anyway,

0:53:56.520 --> 0:53:58.680
<v Speaker 1>all right, so let's get back into the mix here

0:53:58.760 --> 0:54:00.719
<v Speaker 1>on this. I just I think it's funny. They know

0:54:00.760 --> 0:54:02.319
<v Speaker 1>he is he from Roberts de Needle. What do you

0:54:02.320 --> 0:54:04.600
<v Speaker 1>think about the pandemic? Robert? You know, I think if

0:54:04.640 --> 0:54:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the idiot wasn't running things zoo, you know, that's great,

0:54:07.760 --> 0:54:11.759
<v Speaker 1>that's really really so very helpful. Oh and they also

0:54:11.800 --> 0:54:15.120
<v Speaker 1>wanted to hear from from al Gore. The fact that

0:54:15.160 --> 0:54:17.719
<v Speaker 1>they almost made this guy presid the United States is appalling,

0:54:17.840 --> 0:54:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and they really tried. He came very close. Play fourteen

0:54:21.520 --> 0:54:25.880
<v Speaker 1>and to take your medical advice from a right wing

0:54:26.080 --> 0:54:32.040
<v Speaker 1>talk show host who brings some questionable medical advice into

0:54:32.080 --> 0:54:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the Oval office instead of listening to the Centers for

0:54:35.480 --> 0:54:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Disease Control. And as was said earlier, where is the

0:54:38.640 --> 0:54:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Centers for Disease Control? They're the ones that shouldn't be

0:54:42.800 --> 0:54:46.839
<v Speaker 1>having these daily briefings. Where is the FDA? Why? Why

0:54:46.920 --> 0:54:50.320
<v Speaker 1>were they bullied into opening the floodgates? And letting all

0:54:50.360 --> 0:54:53.560
<v Speaker 1>of these crummy tests out there that we now know

0:54:53.800 --> 0:54:57.279
<v Speaker 1>most of them don't work. This is a disgrace. The

0:54:57.480 --> 0:55:01.560
<v Speaker 1>entire handling of this matter has been an uttering, complete disgrace.

0:55:02.800 --> 0:55:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Was a CDC bullied into putting the test? No you

0:55:07.880 --> 0:55:11.680
<v Speaker 1>more on? The CDC put the tests out because they're

0:55:11.680 --> 0:55:14.960
<v Speaker 1>an incompetent federal organization that gets billions of dollars, usually

0:55:14.960 --> 0:55:17.760
<v Speaker 1>to tell people to make sure their kids eat enough vitamins.

0:55:18.440 --> 0:55:20.880
<v Speaker 1>The CDC does a lot of worthless stuff. All I

0:55:20.960 --> 0:55:23.480
<v Speaker 1>do is look do Google search on CDC guidance and

0:55:23.520 --> 0:55:28.120
<v Speaker 1>things they're doing. Children should get, you know, more more

0:55:28.120 --> 0:55:29.880
<v Speaker 1>fruits and veggies in their diet every day. I mean,

0:55:29.880 --> 0:55:32.120
<v Speaker 1>that's what the CDC is often spending its time doing.

0:55:32.120 --> 0:55:36.080
<v Speaker 1>It certainly not preparing for pandemic disease response. They were

0:55:36.120 --> 0:55:38.480
<v Speaker 1>caught caught napping and then some on this one. But

0:55:38.880 --> 0:55:43.120
<v Speaker 1>thanks for hearing from Al Gore. Oh my gosh, Democrats

0:55:43.120 --> 0:55:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Al Gore, Joe Biden carry people they put forward to

0:55:46.920 --> 0:55:51.600
<v Speaker 1>be president. So many of them are just clownish losers.

0:55:51.640 --> 0:55:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for listening to the Buss and Show podcasts. Remember

0:55:55.160 --> 0:55:58.920
<v Speaker 1>to subscribe on Apple podcasts. The iHeartRadio app or wherever

0:55:59.000 --> 0:56:04.360
<v Speaker 1>you get your podcasts. Alright, team, I mentioned Operation Gideon,

0:56:04.480 --> 0:56:08.200
<v Speaker 1>the failed overthrow of Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro at the

0:56:08.239 --> 0:56:10.279
<v Speaker 1>top of the show. This is a real thing that

0:56:10.360 --> 0:56:13.000
<v Speaker 1>happened that people are not paying very much attention to,

0:56:13.520 --> 0:56:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and involve some former US Special operators, a whole bunch

0:56:17.120 --> 0:56:21.560
<v Speaker 1>of money, some shady activists, and other folks behind the scenes.

0:56:22.080 --> 0:56:24.880
<v Speaker 1>What happened here? What went wrong? How could this have

0:56:24.920 --> 0:56:28.680
<v Speaker 1>been done properly? We've got our friend Jack Carr to

0:56:28.680 --> 0:56:31.000
<v Speaker 1>answer all this now. He's a former Navy seal and

0:56:31.239 --> 0:56:35.200
<v Speaker 1>best selling author of the the latest book in his

0:56:35.480 --> 0:56:38.480
<v Speaker 1>terminalist series, Savage Son, which Jack I am listening to

0:56:38.520 --> 0:56:41.480
<v Speaker 1>on audiobook, by the way, true story, very much enjoying it.

0:56:42.000 --> 0:56:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Although the turncoach CIA analysts. You know, I hope there's

0:56:46.040 --> 0:56:48.400
<v Speaker 1>some good CI analysts in there too, Like, you know,

0:56:48.480 --> 0:56:50.440
<v Speaker 1>some of the nerds are nice, say some of the

0:56:50.480 --> 0:56:54.520
<v Speaker 1>nerds are patriots. Damn it, this is true. This is true.

0:56:54.840 --> 0:56:57.040
<v Speaker 1>They're they're easy to pick on, kind of like politicians.

0:56:57.040 --> 0:57:00.279
<v Speaker 1>And you know people in NOI NOE picks on more

0:57:00.280 --> 0:57:01.840
<v Speaker 1>than I do. Well, when you know them, then you

0:57:01.880 --> 0:57:03.799
<v Speaker 1>really know what's going on anyway, congrats on all the

0:57:03.840 --> 0:57:07.320
<v Speaker 1>success of the book. And I know I saw Chris

0:57:07.320 --> 0:57:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Pratt himself with the with the shout out for the

0:57:09.480 --> 0:57:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Amazon series, so the word is out there. Now you're

0:57:11.640 --> 0:57:15.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna have the Jack car series on Amazon, Savage Son,

0:57:15.440 --> 0:57:18.440
<v Speaker 1>True Believer, all the Terminal List books. So all right,

0:57:18.440 --> 0:57:21.160
<v Speaker 1>fantastic on that. And now let's drill down now that

0:57:21.200 --> 0:57:23.240
<v Speaker 1>everyone who hasn't already heard knows they need to buy

0:57:23.320 --> 0:57:26.040
<v Speaker 1>or download your book on audio. Now we can talk

0:57:26.120 --> 0:57:29.440
<v Speaker 1>about what went down here man in Venezuela. You got

0:57:29.440 --> 0:57:32.240
<v Speaker 1>some former US Special Operators, guys with real skill sets

0:57:32.240 --> 0:57:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and real combat experience. They did, what I mean, give

0:57:36.000 --> 0:57:40.200
<v Speaker 1>us the overview. Oh my goodness, so diving into this thing,

0:57:40.280 --> 0:57:42.400
<v Speaker 1>just what a mess from start to finish, and not

0:57:42.480 --> 0:57:45.320
<v Speaker 1>even start to finish, but before they'll lead up as

0:57:45.360 --> 0:57:48.680
<v Speaker 1>far as not specific to this operation, but just their

0:57:48.760 --> 0:57:51.680
<v Speaker 1>their mindset in doing anything, it seems. So you have

0:57:51.760 --> 0:57:54.120
<v Speaker 1>this guy Jordan Gudreau. I don't know if I'm saying

0:57:54.160 --> 0:57:57.480
<v Speaker 1>that name correctly, originally from Canada, early served in the

0:57:57.600 --> 0:57:59.400
<v Speaker 1>US R and B from two thousand and one to

0:57:59.440 --> 0:58:01.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty six. Team. And when someone gets out with a

0:58:01.680 --> 0:58:04.120
<v Speaker 1>couple of years left. It's always a bit of a

0:58:04.200 --> 0:58:06.640
<v Speaker 1>red flag, so I don't know what's going on there exactly,

0:58:06.720 --> 0:58:08.680
<v Speaker 1>but at some point I think he went to eighteen

0:58:08.760 --> 0:58:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Delta training with Army Special Forces, so for those listening,

0:58:12.000 --> 0:58:16.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a medic training, very well trained guys, and then

0:58:16.120 --> 0:58:18.400
<v Speaker 1>got out and did some private contracting in Puerto Rico.

0:58:18.440 --> 0:58:20.960
<v Speaker 1>After Hurricane Maria, which a lot of people I know

0:58:21.280 --> 0:58:23.760
<v Speaker 1>did as well, he went down there to help, and

0:58:23.800 --> 0:58:27.160
<v Speaker 1>then after the Parkland shooting in Florida, wanted to get

0:58:27.200 --> 0:58:29.840
<v Speaker 1>into school security side of the house and put together

0:58:29.840 --> 0:58:33.160
<v Speaker 1>our plan to embed special operators in schools around the country.

0:58:33.440 --> 0:58:35.280
<v Speaker 1>That didn't really take off, and then he started this

0:58:35.320 --> 0:58:37.640
<v Speaker 1>thing called Silver Corp, which looks like a want to

0:58:37.680 --> 0:58:40.720
<v Speaker 1>be blackwater with some pictures on there and some very

0:58:40.800 --> 0:58:44.440
<v Speaker 1>strange video of him at a Trump rally pretending to

0:58:44.560 --> 0:58:47.800
<v Speaker 1>be a Secret Service agent if I'm not mistaken, with

0:58:47.840 --> 0:58:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the earpiece in and had somebody there taking the video

0:58:50.320 --> 0:58:53.080
<v Speaker 1>that then went up on site. That didn't say he

0:58:53.120 --> 0:58:55.800
<v Speaker 1>was really protecting Trump, but it certainly gave the impression

0:58:56.080 --> 0:58:59.400
<v Speaker 1>that he was protecting the president in an official capacity.

0:59:00.120 --> 0:59:02.400
<v Speaker 1>And then into February twenty nineteen, he went down to

0:59:03.720 --> 0:59:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Columbia and worked security at a live aid concert to

0:59:08.480 --> 0:59:12.840
<v Speaker 1>raise money for the opposition and for the Venezuela opposition

0:59:12.920 --> 0:59:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the party, and apparently that's where this plan was hatched

0:59:16.640 --> 0:59:20.920
<v Speaker 1>to put together a band of mercenaries and deserters from

0:59:20.920 --> 0:59:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the Venezuelan army and do some sort of an invasion

0:59:23.960 --> 0:59:28.439
<v Speaker 1>of Venezuela and abduct the current president and fly him off.

0:59:28.560 --> 0:59:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Two parts unknown, which is just you mentioned the live

0:59:32.120 --> 0:59:35.200
<v Speaker 1>aid concert. This guy's actually he's doing security now. He

0:59:35.240 --> 0:59:37.000
<v Speaker 1>was an SF guy, so and as you said, he

0:59:37.000 --> 0:59:38.800
<v Speaker 1>was a medic. I mean, he had the skill set.

0:59:38.840 --> 0:59:42.240
<v Speaker 1>So he's not some weekend warrior soldier and a fortune

0:59:42.280 --> 0:59:44.240
<v Speaker 1>guy who's like been to a you know, a cig

0:59:44.240 --> 0:59:46.320
<v Speaker 1>training academy thing for two days and now thinks that

0:59:46.360 --> 0:59:49.320
<v Speaker 1>he understands these things, right. Not that those academies aren't great,

0:59:49.360 --> 0:59:50.480
<v Speaker 1>they are, but you know what I mean. I mean,

0:59:50.480 --> 0:59:55.600
<v Speaker 1>he actually served. He goes to do the security for

0:59:55.760 --> 0:59:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Richard Branson at a live aid concert and basically he's

0:59:59.280 --> 1:00:01.760
<v Speaker 1>at this concert and they're talking to people and it's like,

1:00:02.160 --> 1:00:04.880
<v Speaker 1>let's do our own version of the Bay of Pigs,

1:00:05.280 --> 1:00:08.560
<v Speaker 1>except in Venezuela, not Cuba. We're going to do a

1:00:08.640 --> 1:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>snatching grab with Nicholas Maduro, who does have a fifteen

1:00:13.120 --> 1:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>million dollars US bounty on his head, so this is,

1:00:16.120 --> 1:00:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's real cash here, and also has been

1:00:20.480 --> 1:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>oppressing his people, and as we all know, Venezuelas just

1:00:23.080 --> 1:00:26.800
<v Speaker 1>devolved into anarchy, chaos, starvation, and just a complete mess.

1:00:27.320 --> 1:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>But the guy certainly understands security because he understands that

1:00:31.000 --> 1:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>his rule is with an iron fist and not with

1:00:33.240 --> 1:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the consent of the people anymore. So then what happens

1:00:36.720 --> 1:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>after so they hatch the plan, then what goes down.

1:00:39.440 --> 1:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>So I think there's a few months there, we're not

1:00:41.200 --> 1:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>exactly sure what's happening. But by late summer, by August,

1:00:45.280 --> 1:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>he's now trying to get some investors. So instead of

1:00:47.880 --> 1:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>that fifteen million after the fact from the US government

1:00:50.760 --> 1:00:53.200
<v Speaker 1>that you may or may not get depending on what happens,

1:00:53.360 --> 1:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>he's looking for some upfront money two hundred and thirteen

1:00:56.520 --> 1:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>million dollars from investors in this country. And the craft

1:01:01.520 --> 1:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>one of the crafts airs, was not really involved, but

1:01:04.560 --> 1:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>at least listened to the pitch, from what my understanding is,

1:01:07.800 --> 1:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and then didn't support it apparently. But this guy, Jordan

1:01:13.040 --> 1:01:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Gudreau goes ahead and somehow makes his way down to

1:01:16.160 --> 1:01:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Columbia and starts working with these deserters. And another fascinating

1:01:20.600 --> 1:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>character is a former Venezuelan general who is now in

1:01:24.440 --> 1:01:29.040
<v Speaker 1>custody in New York awaiting trial or selling service to

1:01:29.080 --> 1:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>air missiles for cocaine to some of these deserted groups

1:01:33.680 --> 1:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>in Columbia. It's just it's a crazy cast of characters

1:01:37.080 --> 1:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>that I'm sure we'll be made into some sort of

1:01:39.760 --> 1:01:42.520
<v Speaker 1>a movie at some point. A long time they said

1:01:42.560 --> 1:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>that the JW marryout where these guys all met up

1:01:45.520 --> 1:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>initially in Bogata, Columbia, was described by the Associated Press

1:01:49.760 --> 1:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>as a center of intrigue among Venezuelan exiles. But for

1:01:53.280 --> 1:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>this occasion where Goudreau met with these guys, conference rooms

1:01:57.080 --> 1:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>will reserved for one participant, described as the Star Wars

1:02:01.360 --> 1:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Summit of Anti Maduro Goofballs. Military deservers include an accused

1:02:06.760 --> 1:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>of drug trafficking, shady financiers, and former Maduro officials seeking redemption. Wow. Oh,

1:02:13.880 --> 1:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>it's so great. You almost can't make it up. It's

1:02:16.200 --> 1:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>just it's so great. I mean, it didn't end so

1:02:18.560 --> 1:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>poorly for everybody. It would almost be comical like Delta

1:02:22.120 --> 1:02:24.200
<v Speaker 1>for Step movie or something like that, But it did

1:02:24.200 --> 1:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>actually remind me of the beginning of an invasion USA

1:02:26.840 --> 1:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>for those who saw that in the mid eighties, where

1:02:29.200 --> 1:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>they have an invasion of this country by a band

1:02:31.320 --> 1:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>of Chuck Norris destroys the ball. It's great, but that's

1:02:34.840 --> 1:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>what I thought of when I saw the video. There's

1:02:36.400 --> 1:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of video out there, you can go online

1:02:38.280 --> 1:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and check it out. But apparently there were two landing

1:02:41.040 --> 1:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>sites in Venezuela, one where eight people were killed in

1:02:45.840 --> 1:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>the majority of the roam. So this is execution out

1:02:49.000 --> 1:02:50.640
<v Speaker 1>This is the execution phase of the plan what they

1:02:50.680 --> 1:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>try to do. Sorry, keep going, no, but even before that,

1:02:53.840 --> 1:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>we should probably jump back really quick and talk about

1:02:56.800 --> 1:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>how there were some weapons and equipment that were intercepted

1:03:02.680 --> 1:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>by then the Colombian government at some point, and so

1:03:07.000 --> 1:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Venezuela knew what was going on here. They knew something

1:03:09.880 --> 1:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>was in the works, not just something, but they knew

1:03:11.960 --> 1:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>that an invasion was evident to overthrow the current president

1:03:15.440 --> 1:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>and they were ready and waiting. So two beach landing sites,

1:03:19.720 --> 1:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>one of them where we have eight people killed and

1:03:22.240 --> 1:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the people are most of them any way, arrested,

1:03:24.720 --> 1:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and then there's another beach landing site where the two

1:03:26.320 --> 1:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Americans it looks like anyway, another beach landing site where

1:03:31.120 --> 1:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>daylight a fish, a couple of fishing boats that don't

1:03:33.800 --> 1:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>look very seaworthy, and where a lot of the video

1:03:37.040 --> 1:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>of our two other army Special Forces guys are arrested

1:03:40.560 --> 1:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>along with some of the other invaders, mercenaries, deserters, or

1:03:45.560 --> 1:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want to call them. So there's some video

1:03:48.240 --> 1:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>out there that's not very flattering, and it also shows

1:03:51.960 --> 1:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>tremendous restraint I thought, on the side of the Venezuela

1:03:55.280 --> 1:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and government and police and military forces, because they could

1:03:57.640 --> 1:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>have just mowed everybody down like in the Bay of

1:04:00.560 --> 1:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>So they didn't. They just killed eight people and are

1:04:03.880 --> 1:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>currently searching for I think ninety two others right now.

1:04:06.760 --> 1:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>So Jordan Boudreau is still my understanding, is still out

1:04:10.480 --> 1:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>there somewhere, and in the middle of all this, he

1:04:13.520 --> 1:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>does a video tweet with a Venezuelan captain from the

1:04:17.960 --> 1:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>National Guard talking about what's going on, that they're there.

1:04:21.480 --> 1:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>They're almost doing a play by play of what's happening,

1:04:24.280 --> 1:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>and they tag President Trump's Twitter account on this. So

1:04:30.240 --> 1:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's just fascinating. The whole thing is absolutely incredible.

1:04:32.800 --> 1:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>So now I has two of his buddies. SF guys

1:04:35.360 --> 1:04:37.840
<v Speaker 1>are detained in Venezuela play out, the best place to

1:04:37.920 --> 1:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>be detained where we have no official relations right now,

1:04:41.440 --> 1:04:44.560
<v Speaker 1>there's no embassy there to help work on their release.

1:04:45.400 --> 1:04:47.760
<v Speaker 1>So we have these two guys that are that are

1:04:47.880 --> 1:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>in custody, that are being interrogated of course, and we

1:04:51.720 --> 1:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>have the President of Venezuela with their passports, reading it

1:04:55.080 --> 1:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>off on the news and being able to re least

1:04:57.240 --> 1:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>his people say hey, look we have the United States

1:04:59.640 --> 1:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>of theally involved in trying to invade our country. Um,

1:05:02.800 --> 1:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>you know we we prevailed over the innovaders and can

1:05:07.040 --> 1:05:11.600
<v Speaker 1>rally some some nationalism around him, which probably helps him

1:05:11.680 --> 1:05:13.280
<v Speaker 1>after what's been going on in his country for the

1:05:13.280 --> 1:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>past few were years, with everyone starving, no medical uh supplies, treatment,

1:05:17.640 --> 1:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>that sort of thing. So it is just a mess. Yeah,

1:05:21.360 --> 1:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>that's probably the best way to describe it. Definitely mess.

1:05:24.080 --> 1:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this was this was a go ahead, jack ahead.

1:05:27.480 --> 1:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, Kennedy, President Kennedy. So the Bay

1:05:30.160 --> 1:05:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Page wasn't really it wasn't a branchild with the Kennedy administration.

1:05:33.080 --> 1:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>It was patched by the Eisenhower administration, so Kennedy actually

1:05:36.880 --> 1:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>inherited that plan, and what he said in a lead up,

1:05:40.560 --> 1:05:43.280
<v Speaker 1>although it was too late really to do much about it,

1:05:43.360 --> 1:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>was that it seemed too large to be clandestine and

1:05:46.960 --> 1:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>too small to be successful. So that's that's one of

1:05:50.960 --> 1:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the parallels that we could look at when we're looking

1:05:53.240 --> 1:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>at this, which may be inspired by something like that,

1:05:57.200 --> 1:05:59.240
<v Speaker 1>But what you really need in a situation like this

1:05:59.600 --> 1:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>is a government approach and an invasion of like an

1:06:01.800 --> 1:06:05.120
<v Speaker 1>eighteen eighty nine invasion of Panama. Even though we're essentially

1:06:05.160 --> 1:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>going after one person in that, Mamuelinoiega. We brought a

1:06:08.520 --> 1:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>hole of government approach, obviously very heavy on the military

1:06:11.360 --> 1:06:14.600
<v Speaker 1>side of the house, and an invasion rather than some deservers.

1:06:14.600 --> 1:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>So so I want to ask I want to ask

1:06:16.040 --> 1:06:17.520
<v Speaker 1>you about about this part of it because I feel

1:06:17.520 --> 1:06:19.040
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of the audience will be thinking, Okay,

1:06:19.080 --> 1:06:21.280
<v Speaker 1>so these guys thought they could pull this off. Some

1:06:21.320 --> 1:06:23.800
<v Speaker 1>of them did have a real military skill set. A

1:06:23.840 --> 1:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of these other guys that seemed like they're just

1:06:25.720 --> 1:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of in the mix for whatever reason. But I

1:06:28.400 --> 1:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>want to ask him, just for everybody. We're talking to

1:06:30.400 --> 1:06:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Jack Carr, author of the Terminal List series. His new

1:06:32.640 --> 1:06:35.280
<v Speaker 1>book out right now, his Savage Son. I am listening

1:06:35.320 --> 1:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>to it. It is excellent and you guys should all

1:06:37.520 --> 1:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>download it as well. Chris Pratt will be playing the

1:06:39.920 --> 1:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>main character in the Amazon series, which Jack has promised

1:06:43.600 --> 1:06:46.960
<v Speaker 1>me will be better than the Jack Ryan series, which

1:06:47.040 --> 1:06:53.480
<v Speaker 1>made the granted handsome and intelligent CIA analyst look good.

1:06:53.680 --> 1:06:55.920
<v Speaker 1>But the rest of the series was terrible in the

1:06:55.960 --> 1:06:58.320
<v Speaker 1>second season. So Jack says this, so I know he

1:06:58.360 --> 1:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>doesn't like to say that because he's working with them

1:06:59.800 --> 1:07:01.760
<v Speaker 1>as now. That's fine, you you can plead the fifth

1:07:01.800 --> 1:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying the second season I did not approve.

1:07:04.920 --> 1:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm never going to deal with Amazon anyway. Let me

1:07:08.160 --> 1:07:10.840
<v Speaker 1>let me ask you about what if you were presented

1:07:10.880 --> 1:07:13.640
<v Speaker 1>back to this situation in Venezuela, if you were presented

1:07:14.040 --> 1:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>with this plan, would you what would have been the

1:07:17.600 --> 1:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>initial I look now now we've seen how it went wrong,

1:07:20.120 --> 1:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>But what what would have been the flags where you're like,

1:07:22.120 --> 1:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>if you guys are going to pull off a coup,

1:07:24.160 --> 1:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>you got no chance because of the following Well, there's

1:07:26.800 --> 1:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>there's so much to work with there, and I feel

1:07:29.360 --> 1:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit bad about picking it apart from here

1:07:32.560 --> 1:07:35.640
<v Speaker 1>from Afar, especially when we have the US former military

1:07:35.720 --> 1:07:38.720
<v Speaker 1>guys that are in custody down there. But I mean,

1:07:38.760 --> 1:07:41.200
<v Speaker 1>just a background of what's going on here by looking

1:07:41.200 --> 1:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>at that Silver Corp site and looking at what was

1:07:45.200 --> 1:07:48.520
<v Speaker 1>to copy and pasted from the Department of Homeland Security site,

1:07:48.800 --> 1:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>looking at that in a fake video of this guy

1:07:51.920 --> 1:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>pretending to protect Trumpet at a rally, and some of

1:07:56.680 --> 1:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the background there saying that they've advised that there are

1:07:59.080 --> 1:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>fifty countries around on the world and have it advised

1:08:02.080 --> 1:08:05.880
<v Speaker 1>units like Delta Force and the sas like right away,

1:08:05.920 --> 1:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>there's some red flag there. We're learned to looking at

1:08:07.720 --> 1:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>a leadership from from the leadership type of perspective, like

1:08:10.880 --> 1:08:13.400
<v Speaker 1>who's leading this thing? This fly By eventially a fly

1:08:13.520 --> 1:08:16.519
<v Speaker 1>By Nite Corporation that was was thrown up at hawk

1:08:16.600 --> 1:08:19.120
<v Speaker 1>it looks like. And then some of those things that

1:08:19.120 --> 1:08:21.559
<v Speaker 1>those of us who have been in special operations would

1:08:21.560 --> 1:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>look at and say, this just doesn't add up here

1:08:24.240 --> 1:08:26.639
<v Speaker 1>through this thing together, fifty countries around the world is weird.

1:08:26.720 --> 1:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Video that's out there just doesn't doesn't make sense. So

1:08:29.920 --> 1:08:33.479
<v Speaker 1>so there's that from from the get go and then

1:08:33.840 --> 1:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>you actually look at this thing is hey, look at

1:08:36.080 --> 1:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>the history here we have. We have so we can

1:08:38.400 --> 1:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>go back to the nineteen fifty three coup in Iran. Okay,

1:08:41.400 --> 1:08:43.479
<v Speaker 1>we have some lessons learned out of that. We kind

1:08:43.479 --> 1:08:45.439
<v Speaker 1>of got we wanted for a while out of it,

1:08:45.439 --> 1:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>although we're still dealing with the repercussions of that. Today.

1:08:48.640 --> 1:08:50.639
<v Speaker 1>We have Bay of Pigs. We can learn a lot

1:08:50.840 --> 1:08:52.960
<v Speaker 1>from that as well, and we have something like the

1:08:53.000 --> 1:08:55.559
<v Speaker 1>in then we get more specific to this area the world,

1:08:55.560 --> 1:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and we look at the invasion of Panama in nineteen

1:08:57.240 --> 1:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>eighty nine and we see something that worked. The guy

1:09:00.560 --> 1:09:03.200
<v Speaker 1>that we were after. We have some lessons learned from

1:09:03.240 --> 1:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>that as well. And then we look at all that

1:09:05.160 --> 1:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>stuff holistically, in plus what we learned INTERAC and Afghanistan,

1:09:08.320 --> 1:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and we look at that and apply it to this situation.

1:09:10.920 --> 1:09:12.800
<v Speaker 1>And it looks like none of the lessons from any

1:09:12.840 --> 1:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>of these things were applied. If they really wanted to

1:09:16.120 --> 1:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>go in there, wanted to overthrow the government, wanted to

1:09:19.400 --> 1:09:22.040
<v Speaker 1>essentially abduct the president and then take him two parts

1:09:22.120 --> 1:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>unknown to maybe collect his fifteen million dollars from the

1:09:25.680 --> 1:09:28.519
<v Speaker 1>US government, that part's unclear. I mean if you had

1:09:28.600 --> 1:09:30.040
<v Speaker 1>let me if you had. And this is not just

1:09:30.280 --> 1:09:32.920
<v Speaker 1>in the theoretical space, right, so we understand. So you're saying, look,

1:09:32.920 --> 1:09:35.200
<v Speaker 1>these guys, they didn't think it through, they didn't do

1:09:35.240 --> 1:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have the lessons learned even from previous incursions

1:09:39.240 --> 1:09:42.639
<v Speaker 1>into Latin America or other coups involving either US or

1:09:42.800 --> 1:09:45.040
<v Speaker 1>other international personnel, so that they didn't really do the

1:09:45.080 --> 1:09:47.599
<v Speaker 1>homework on it. From that respect, you said that you

1:09:47.640 --> 1:09:50.439
<v Speaker 1>either want to be leading, mean, small and quiet, or

1:09:50.479 --> 1:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>you want to just do what you said Panama, like,

1:09:52.400 --> 1:09:54.479
<v Speaker 1>we're going all in, We're gonna get one guy. We're

1:09:54.479 --> 1:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>going to control the battle space and then get this

1:09:57.000 --> 1:09:59.439
<v Speaker 1>one guy instead of trying to sneak in the back

1:09:59.479 --> 1:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>door he or you know, a snatching grab like that.

1:10:02.800 --> 1:10:04.640
<v Speaker 1>If you were trying to write for a novel, and

1:10:04.680 --> 1:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>you're Jack's a former Navy seal as you all know.

1:10:06.840 --> 1:10:08.760
<v Speaker 1>But if you were trying to write for a novel here,

1:10:09.360 --> 1:10:11.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, how would you would it? Would this be

1:10:13.200 --> 1:10:16.439
<v Speaker 1>a dozen guys, twenty guys if they had the right intel,

1:10:16.720 --> 1:10:18.920
<v Speaker 1>How could this work out in the real world? You

1:10:18.960 --> 1:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? If you were war gaming it,

1:10:20.360 --> 1:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>if you were trying to do a snatching grab, not

1:10:22.160 --> 1:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>a hit, right, we don't do that. If you're trying

1:10:23.960 --> 1:10:25.960
<v Speaker 1>to do a snatch and grab, take this guy back

1:10:26.000 --> 1:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>to the US to face justice, how what would that

1:10:28.400 --> 1:10:30.479
<v Speaker 1>look like? Well, that's I think that the problem is

1:10:30.479 --> 1:10:32.760
<v Speaker 1>they looked at it through the lens of someone like

1:10:32.880 --> 1:10:35.559
<v Speaker 1>me who is now writing fiction, instead of the lens

1:10:35.640 --> 1:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>of someone who's actually planning these things in real life,

1:10:39.960 --> 1:10:42.679
<v Speaker 1>either at the CIA or the military or whatever else.

1:10:43.360 --> 1:10:46.720
<v Speaker 1>So it looks like someone like me sat down and thought, well,

1:10:46.720 --> 1:10:50.479
<v Speaker 1>it would be a great way, a great storyline, right, Yeah,

1:10:51.200 --> 1:10:53.280
<v Speaker 1>was that a great storyline? Yeah, it's it's what it

1:10:53.280 --> 1:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>sounds like exactly. So yeah, real life, you either hit

1:10:57.160 --> 1:10:59.880
<v Speaker 1>them hard full US government approach, You dominate that bat

1:11:00.080 --> 1:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>space like you said, grab your guy like we do

1:11:02.000 --> 1:11:04.719
<v Speaker 1>with Noriega, to take him back for a trial. Okay,

1:11:04.800 --> 1:11:07.240
<v Speaker 1>that's one way. The other way to do something like

1:11:07.280 --> 1:11:11.439
<v Speaker 1>this in real life is through long term covert action

1:11:11.600 --> 1:11:16.400
<v Speaker 1>penetration programs that your former employers are more familiar with,

1:11:16.520 --> 1:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>so you're not putting some guys in ninja suits sneaking

1:11:19.400 --> 1:11:21.680
<v Speaker 1>through the streets of the capital of a country to

1:11:21.800 --> 1:11:25.320
<v Speaker 1>go essentially to their White House to snatch the president

1:11:25.320 --> 1:11:27.519
<v Speaker 1>and then get him to an airfield and fly him off,

1:11:27.600 --> 1:11:30.479
<v Speaker 1>and what kind of an aircraft to wear. Like now

1:11:30.720 --> 1:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>we have we have some lessons to learn here, and

1:11:32.200 --> 1:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>what you would really do is activate those depenetration agents

1:11:35.920 --> 1:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and you would either either it's assassination type thing, or

1:11:40.600 --> 1:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>you have people ready to go to step up and

1:11:43.320 --> 1:11:46.280
<v Speaker 1>to essentially arrest like an actual who and arrest the

1:11:46.280 --> 1:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>president or doing things that are illegal and put him

1:11:50.000 --> 1:11:52.920
<v Speaker 1>in prison and probably try him in that country, or

1:11:53.360 --> 1:11:57.360
<v Speaker 1>work within the work within the existing battle space in

1:11:57.400 --> 1:12:00.320
<v Speaker 1>some capacity, either personnel who understand what's really going on.

1:12:00.600 --> 1:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>It seems like that was I mean, it seems like

1:12:02.400 --> 1:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>this was in many ways for them an intelligence failure,

1:12:04.439 --> 1:12:07.240
<v Speaker 1>intelligence victory unfortunately for the Maduro government because they saw

1:12:07.240 --> 1:12:09.719
<v Speaker 1>it coming a mile away. But knowing stuff an event

1:12:09.840 --> 1:12:12.680
<v Speaker 1>certainly it certainly helps. But Bett, if you if you're

1:12:12.720 --> 1:12:14.759
<v Speaker 1>looking for some fodder for a book down the line,

1:12:14.760 --> 1:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>this certainly will provide it. Jack Carr, everybody check out

1:13:02.920 --> 1:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>of I'm Right with Jesse Kelly on Pluto TVs. The

1:13:06.120 --> 1:13:10.960
<v Speaker 1>first also the syndicated radio host, mister Jesse Kelly and

1:13:11.200 --> 1:13:13.320
<v Speaker 1>one day perhaps even who knows President of the United

1:13:13.320 --> 1:13:15.320
<v Speaker 1>States or something. Jesse Kelly. He's got all. He's got

1:13:15.320 --> 1:13:18.280
<v Speaker 1>big aspirations for himself. Although today I will tell you

1:13:18.720 --> 1:13:21.200
<v Speaker 1>he is. He's out there and he is going the

1:13:21.240 --> 1:13:23.519
<v Speaker 1>full Miami vice right now, because I can see him

1:13:23.560 --> 1:13:26.400
<v Speaker 1>as we're doing this interview, and he's like Don Johnson

1:13:26.439 --> 1:13:29.439
<v Speaker 1>in the eighties, except his shirt is not pink, but

1:13:29.479 --> 1:13:32.360
<v Speaker 1>He's wearing a T shirt with a blazer. I'm sorry,

1:13:32.439 --> 1:13:35.639
<v Speaker 1>is it is this like two for one night out

1:13:35.680 --> 1:13:37.800
<v Speaker 1>in Boca or something? What's going on here with the

1:13:38.280 --> 1:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>T shirt and the blazer? Jesse? You know, you know

1:13:40.880 --> 1:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>what this is called? Buck? This is called Friday mode. Man,

1:13:43.400 --> 1:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>this is called Friday mode. Just laid back and chilling.

1:13:46.240 --> 1:13:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, I'm always the best, but on Friday,

1:13:49.960 --> 1:13:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to give people the best version of relaxed Jesse,

1:13:53.000 --> 1:13:55.799
<v Speaker 1>because I'm here to get you and all your amazing

1:13:55.880 --> 1:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>viewers into the weekend mode. And that's what I'm here for.

1:13:58.479 --> 1:14:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I just I feel like it also led me astray

1:14:01.280 --> 1:14:04.040
<v Speaker 1>in the in the early days on Miami Vice, I figured, Wow,

1:14:04.080 --> 1:14:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you can be a cop and drive around in the

1:14:07.320 --> 1:14:09.639
<v Speaker 1>equivalent of like a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars

1:14:09.640 --> 1:14:12.920
<v Speaker 1>ferrari as long as you live on a houseboat and

1:14:13.040 --> 1:14:17.800
<v Speaker 1>have a pet alligator. There you go. You know what

1:14:17.840 --> 1:14:21.760
<v Speaker 1>else Miami Vice did, and all Miami TV shows and

1:14:21.840 --> 1:14:25.280
<v Speaker 1>movies do this exact same thing. Miami Beach is a

1:14:25.320 --> 1:14:27.879
<v Speaker 1>beautiful place and it has some of the most beautiful

1:14:28.000 --> 1:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>women you've ever seen in your life. So all that's true,

1:14:30.680 --> 1:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>but almost every time they show Miami shows, or they

1:14:34.040 --> 1:14:37.320
<v Speaker 1>show Miami on a show or movies, they always make

1:14:37.360 --> 1:14:41.840
<v Speaker 1>it look as if it's some tropical paradise, some glistening paradise,

1:14:42.080 --> 1:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>when so many parts of Nia of Miami are absolutely

1:14:46.360 --> 1:14:49.880
<v Speaker 1>run down holes. It has beautiful parts to it. But

1:14:50.040 --> 1:14:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I have felt more unsafe in Miami than I ever

1:14:52.840 --> 1:14:55.479
<v Speaker 1>did in Baghdad. Right, Well, I was gonna say Miami

1:14:55.600 --> 1:14:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Vice was like a tourism ad for a city that

1:14:58.680 --> 1:15:02.719
<v Speaker 1>actually in the eight in the eighties, there were broad daylight,

1:15:02.920 --> 1:15:06.760
<v Speaker 1>full on machine gun shootouts between cartel assassins. It was

1:15:06.800 --> 1:15:09.800
<v Speaker 1>one of the most violent places in the world for

1:15:10.439 --> 1:15:13.280
<v Speaker 1>civilian crime stuff. It was out of control. But it

1:15:13.320 --> 1:15:16.600
<v Speaker 1>was a great show. It's worse. It's worse than that

1:15:16.680 --> 1:15:19.160
<v Speaker 1>it was a great show. It's worse that people don't realize,

1:15:19.320 --> 1:15:23.559
<v Speaker 1>like the entire Miami Skyline was built on cocaine money.

1:15:23.600 --> 1:15:25.479
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, not making that up. That's not just like

1:15:25.560 --> 1:15:28.639
<v Speaker 1>something that the crazy thing to say. You can watch

1:15:28.680 --> 1:15:32.519
<v Speaker 1>the documentary Cocaine cowboysmentary called Cocaine Cowboy, Yep, that's right,

1:15:32.640 --> 1:15:34.320
<v Speaker 1>and they talk about it how all of a sudden

1:15:34.360 --> 1:15:36.320
<v Speaker 1>there was a bank on every corner because they're all

1:15:36.400 --> 1:15:40.240
<v Speaker 1>laundering money and virtually everything you see in Miami was

1:15:40.280 --> 1:15:42.760
<v Speaker 1>built from cocaine. It's just and when you go there

1:15:43.000 --> 1:15:46.280
<v Speaker 1>you realize why. So, Jesse, I was gonna ask you

1:15:46.280 --> 1:15:47.920
<v Speaker 1>about some of the news the day, but I also

1:15:48.320 --> 1:15:51.479
<v Speaker 1>wanted to get your take on the Waco series, even

1:15:51.520 --> 1:15:52.800
<v Speaker 1>if you haven't seen it. I just want to get

1:15:52.800 --> 1:15:54.840
<v Speaker 1>your take on Waco in general. But the Waco series

1:15:54.840 --> 1:15:59.440
<v Speaker 1>on Netflix is. I finished it last night. It's phenomenal.

1:16:00.200 --> 1:16:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Taylor Kitch should have gotten some kind of I don't

1:16:02.360 --> 1:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>know if you got any awards, but not that I e.

1:16:03.840 --> 1:16:06.120
<v Speaker 1>One cares about those awards these days. But he gave

1:16:06.160 --> 1:16:09.400
<v Speaker 1>a remarkable performances. David Koresh and I was just noting that,

1:16:09.439 --> 1:16:11.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's a tough week for the FBI, given

1:16:11.720 --> 1:16:14.439
<v Speaker 1>the stuff with Flynn and now also a lot more

1:16:14.479 --> 1:16:17.200
<v Speaker 1>people have seen this Waco situation. First off, have you

1:16:17.200 --> 1:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>seen the show? In second, just in general, even if

1:16:19.400 --> 1:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>you haven't seen it, what what should people remember about

1:16:22.360 --> 1:16:27.800
<v Speaker 1>what happened in Waco, Texas at that standoff with Feds. Well, one,

1:16:28.000 --> 1:16:31.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm two episodes in, but two I have seen the story.

1:16:31.880 --> 1:16:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I obviously know the story very well. I know the

1:16:33.760 --> 1:16:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Ruby Ridge story too, which obviously they cover in Waco,

1:16:36.680 --> 1:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>which is as bad or worse than Waco actually was.

1:16:40.720 --> 1:16:42.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, not for total loss of life, but it

1:16:42.400 --> 1:16:44.880
<v Speaker 1>was really really ugly. And look, all people should take

1:16:44.920 --> 1:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>away from it is you can't necessarily trust the criminal

1:16:50.000 --> 1:16:53.240
<v Speaker 1>justice system and you can't necessarily trust the government. I'm

1:16:53.240 --> 1:16:56.000
<v Speaker 1>not saying you need to rebel against it, but there

1:16:56.120 --> 1:16:58.320
<v Speaker 1>is this way of thinking in America that you have

1:16:58.439 --> 1:17:01.720
<v Speaker 1>to either you know, respect police, or you have to

1:17:01.760 --> 1:17:05.519
<v Speaker 1>be this anti cops scumbag. You can actually just be

1:17:05.640 --> 1:17:09.720
<v Speaker 1>a normal, well reasoned, thinking human being who realizes that

1:17:09.840 --> 1:17:13.040
<v Speaker 1>cops law enforcement in general, most of them are putting

1:17:13.080 --> 1:17:15.360
<v Speaker 1>their butts on the line for you every single day,

1:17:15.680 --> 1:17:18.840
<v Speaker 1>while at the same time they are the enforcement arm

1:17:18.920 --> 1:17:21.680
<v Speaker 1>for every bad government policy there is. We see it

1:17:21.800 --> 1:17:25.320
<v Speaker 1>right now when they're locking up salon owners. It's the

1:17:25.400 --> 1:17:29.160
<v Speaker 1>history of the world says that cops in the military

1:17:29.320 --> 1:17:33.360
<v Speaker 1>will be used by an overreaching government to enforce bad policies.

1:17:33.479 --> 1:17:36.000
<v Speaker 1>And Americans, especially people on the right, when you've heard

1:17:36.040 --> 1:17:39.120
<v Speaker 1>our people do this book of Oh, the military would

1:17:39.680 --> 1:17:43.840
<v Speaker 1>never enforce these anti constitutional gun laws. Oh, cops would

1:17:43.880 --> 1:17:46.679
<v Speaker 1>never go along with that. I hope you're all paying

1:17:46.720 --> 1:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>attention now, you've all seen a two month example of

1:17:49.960 --> 1:17:53.080
<v Speaker 1>they will go along with anything they're told to do

1:17:53.320 --> 1:17:55.760
<v Speaker 1>because it's their mortgage on the line, it's their car

1:17:55.840 --> 1:17:58.000
<v Speaker 1>payment on the line. The government tells them to go

1:17:58.120 --> 1:18:00.639
<v Speaker 1>arrest some poor stap for paddle boarding in the ocean,

1:18:00.840 --> 1:18:03.200
<v Speaker 1>it's mobilized. The police votes, Baby, they're going to go

1:18:03.240 --> 1:18:06.439
<v Speaker 1>put him in. Comes Jesse. Actually, that's that's a perfect

1:18:06.439 --> 1:18:09.439
<v Speaker 1>transition as well into this story that's now getting a

1:18:09.439 --> 1:18:13.679
<v Speaker 1>lot of attention because the President has commented. Actually, a producer, Mark,

1:18:13.760 --> 1:18:16.920
<v Speaker 1>do you have the Do you have the president's comments

1:18:16.960 --> 1:18:18.640
<v Speaker 1>on this one? If you do, just play it and

1:18:18.640 --> 1:18:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell Jesse when we come back from Yeah, play

1:18:20.760 --> 1:18:24.439
<v Speaker 1>clip seven. So I saw the tape and it's very,

1:18:24.560 --> 1:18:27.519
<v Speaker 1>very disturbing. The tape I got to see it. It's

1:18:27.600 --> 1:18:30.240
<v Speaker 1>very disturbing. I looked at a picture of that young

1:18:30.320 --> 1:18:33.200
<v Speaker 1>man who was at a tuxedo and in fact, you

1:18:33.240 --> 1:18:36.880
<v Speaker 1>put it up and I will say that that looks

1:18:36.920 --> 1:18:41.760
<v Speaker 1>like a really good young guy, and it looks very

1:18:41.800 --> 1:18:44.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a very disturbing situation to me, and I just

1:18:44.680 --> 1:18:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, my heart goes out to the parents and

1:18:46.680 --> 1:18:49.720
<v Speaker 1>the family and the friends, but yet we have to

1:18:49.760 --> 1:18:52.000
<v Speaker 1>take it. You know, law enforcement's going to look at it,

1:18:52.040 --> 1:18:55.280
<v Speaker 1>and they have a good governor in the state, and

1:18:55.360 --> 1:18:58.760
<v Speaker 1>he's going to very good governor actually, and he's going

1:18:58.840 --> 1:19:01.800
<v Speaker 1>to be looking added very strongly, and he's going to

1:19:01.880 --> 1:19:04.800
<v Speaker 1>do what's right. But it's a it's a heartbreaking thing.

1:19:04.840 --> 1:19:08.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's very rough, rough stuff. So Jesse President

1:19:08.080 --> 1:19:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Trump saying that the video that he's seen of Ahmed

1:19:12.320 --> 1:19:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Ahmed Arbury is heartbreaking stuff. It looks really bad. You know,

1:19:17.320 --> 1:19:19.400
<v Speaker 1>they've got a good governor. Though they're gonna look into this.

1:19:19.760 --> 1:19:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Law enforcement now has taken action to arresting people. They

1:19:22.320 --> 1:19:24.320
<v Speaker 1>seem to be a tremendous amount of back and forth

1:19:24.360 --> 1:19:27.320
<v Speaker 1>on social media. I came a little late to this story.

1:19:27.600 --> 1:19:29.559
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I've just been looking at it last

1:19:29.880 --> 1:19:34.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hours. But what we had mister Arbury was

1:19:34.400 --> 1:19:39.639
<v Speaker 1>jogging two guys who are near their pickup truck. They

1:19:39.640 --> 1:19:42.240
<v Speaker 1>had shotguns and they tried to get him to stop,

1:19:42.800 --> 1:19:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and they said, I believe that they were trying to

1:19:44.920 --> 1:19:47.439
<v Speaker 1>affect the citizens arrest because of burglaries that had happened

1:19:47.439 --> 1:19:51.439
<v Speaker 1>in the neighborhood. Arbury had some kind of you know,

1:19:52.000 --> 1:19:54.920
<v Speaker 1>some kind of confrontation with them that these guys forced

1:19:55.080 --> 1:19:57.320
<v Speaker 1>and then he got shot and he was killed. Now

1:19:57.360 --> 1:20:00.880
<v Speaker 1>there's video of it, And first off is the narrative,

1:20:00.960 --> 1:20:02.639
<v Speaker 1>and I might be a little off as a narrative

1:20:03.280 --> 1:20:05.960
<v Speaker 1>essentially right on the facts there, And what's your take

1:20:06.040 --> 1:20:08.360
<v Speaker 1>on what happened here and what doesn't seem like there

1:20:08.400 --> 1:20:10.519
<v Speaker 1>should be much argument. It looks like these guys killed

1:20:10.520 --> 1:20:12.439
<v Speaker 1>this guy and they're not cops, and what the heck

1:20:12.439 --> 1:20:14.840
<v Speaker 1>were they doing? Well, there's not much argument out there.

1:20:14.880 --> 1:20:17.719
<v Speaker 1>People are acting as if oh, this is a wire

1:20:17.720 --> 1:20:20.719
<v Speaker 1>and wire people standing up against this. Virtually every single

1:20:20.760 --> 1:20:23.360
<v Speaker 1>person is standing against this. It's not much of an argument.

1:20:23.400 --> 1:20:25.280
<v Speaker 1>This is not one of those cases where you see

1:20:25.280 --> 1:20:27.840
<v Speaker 1>like five seconds of a police video that looks really

1:20:27.880 --> 1:20:30.599
<v Speaker 1>bad and everyone jumps to conclusions and then you get

1:20:30.640 --> 1:20:32.839
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the story and all of a sudden,

1:20:32.840 --> 1:20:35.120
<v Speaker 1>you look like an idiot. No, we saw the whole

1:20:35.120 --> 1:20:37.679
<v Speaker 1>thing on video. We have all the background on it.

1:20:37.680 --> 1:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>It looks like a former police officer. That's the dad

1:20:41.200 --> 1:20:44.599
<v Speaker 1>and his son. The dad apparently had some sort of

1:20:44.640 --> 1:20:48.400
<v Speaker 1>investigative history with this Ahmud Arbore, so he knew him

1:20:48.400 --> 1:20:51.240
<v Speaker 1>in some way. But they tried to stop him with

1:20:51.320 --> 1:20:53.880
<v Speaker 1>weapons when the guy was apparently out jogging. There was

1:20:53.920 --> 1:20:56.840
<v Speaker 1>not even an accusation that he was doing anything wrong.

1:20:56.880 --> 1:20:59.240
<v Speaker 1>We even have a nine one one transcript of them

1:20:59.240 --> 1:21:01.840
<v Speaker 1>calling nine on one of the operators asking why are

1:21:01.840 --> 1:21:04.320
<v Speaker 1>you calling nine one one, and they essentially say, well,

1:21:04.400 --> 1:21:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't really know. They don't have an answer. Look,

1:21:06.720 --> 1:21:09.920
<v Speaker 1>it looks bad. It is bad. The bad part is

1:21:09.960 --> 1:21:12.160
<v Speaker 1>this happened in February. Man, we all saw the video

1:21:12.240 --> 1:21:15.960
<v Speaker 1>yesterday and those guys were just arrested last night after

1:21:16.000 --> 1:21:18.839
<v Speaker 1>all this social media rage we saw and it shouldn't

1:21:18.880 --> 1:21:21.600
<v Speaker 1>take that and people were losing faith in law enforcement.

1:21:21.680 --> 1:21:24.360
<v Speaker 1>So all that's bad, But allow me to also say

1:21:24.400 --> 1:21:28.439
<v Speaker 1>this one. This is not an opportunity for people like

1:21:28.560 --> 1:21:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Lebron James to become some civil rights leader, which he

1:21:32.520 --> 1:21:35.599
<v Speaker 1>badly wants to be talking about how black men are

1:21:35.640 --> 1:21:38.599
<v Speaker 1>out there being hunted. We don't know that, we don't

1:21:38.680 --> 1:21:41.640
<v Speaker 1>know a motivation. We can talk about the fact that

1:21:41.720 --> 1:21:45.280
<v Speaker 1>an innocent man was apparently gunned down and feel for

1:21:45.360 --> 1:21:48.639
<v Speaker 1>his family without instantly making everything as if you're Martin

1:21:48.720 --> 1:21:52.639
<v Speaker 1>Luther King, You're not stop with that. That's one. Two.

1:21:53.040 --> 1:21:55.400
<v Speaker 1>The people on the right. I see it. This drives

1:21:55.439 --> 1:21:57.880
<v Speaker 1>me crazy. I've seen it all over the media. Of

1:21:58.160 --> 1:22:01.080
<v Speaker 1>this there's a modern day lynching. We can't have this

1:22:01.280 --> 1:22:03.439
<v Speaker 1>lynching of all these people on the right with the

1:22:03.640 --> 1:22:07.200
<v Speaker 1>stupid language. People, just because the left has called you

1:22:07.320 --> 1:22:11.080
<v Speaker 1>racist for the last thirty years doesn't mean you are,

1:22:11.439 --> 1:22:14.240
<v Speaker 1>and it doesn't mean you have to overcompensate every time

1:22:14.280 --> 1:22:16.719
<v Speaker 1>a black dude gets killed to try to really prove

1:22:16.760 --> 1:22:19.360
<v Speaker 1>how not racist you are. I have black friends, I

1:22:19.400 --> 1:22:22.320
<v Speaker 1>said lynching. Doesn't that make me one of the increp people.

1:22:22.400 --> 1:22:24.559
<v Speaker 1>You can just judge each case as it is. The

1:22:24.680 --> 1:22:27.639
<v Speaker 1>dude wasn't a black man. It was a dude who

1:22:27.640 --> 1:22:30.600
<v Speaker 1>got murdered. That's really bad. It's bad enough. Feel for

1:22:30.680 --> 1:22:33.840
<v Speaker 1>his family, cry for justice, which we're apparently going to

1:22:33.880 --> 1:22:36.519
<v Speaker 1>get in. It's fine, you're not Martin Luther King. You

1:22:36.560 --> 1:22:38.920
<v Speaker 1>don't have to check out all the wop boxes. Just

1:22:39.000 --> 1:22:41.320
<v Speaker 1>because the left has been lying about what you believe

1:22:42.360 --> 1:22:44.120
<v Speaker 1>co sign I mean, I think I think that pretty

1:22:44.160 --> 1:22:45.920
<v Speaker 1>much covers it on that case. And it looks like

1:22:45.960 --> 1:22:48.080
<v Speaker 1>it looks like a you know, then these guys like

1:22:48.200 --> 1:22:51.240
<v Speaker 1>a charge with manslaughter or murder and unless there's something

1:22:51.280 --> 1:22:53.160
<v Speaker 1>we don't really know, which doesn't seem like there is.

1:22:53.200 --> 1:22:54.920
<v Speaker 1>They should spend a whole lot of time in prison.

1:22:55.000 --> 1:22:58.120
<v Speaker 1>And that's the way it is. You know, I will

1:22:58.160 --> 1:23:00.519
<v Speaker 1>tell you. I will tell you started interrupt the real quick.

1:23:00.720 --> 1:23:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I always because I'm so hesitated on these things, because

1:23:03.240 --> 1:23:06.160
<v Speaker 1>of all the outrage, I'm hesitant to ever or ever

1:23:06.240 --> 1:23:08.600
<v Speaker 1>even comment on it. I looked into this quite a

1:23:08.640 --> 1:23:12.360
<v Speaker 1>bit over the last twenty four hours. It is apparently

1:23:12.439 --> 1:23:15.640
<v Speaker 1>as bad as it looked initially. It looks pretty open. Well,

1:23:15.640 --> 1:23:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I just think about it from from the end. You know,

1:23:18.120 --> 1:23:20.040
<v Speaker 1>you always hear this stuff from from the left wing

1:23:20.080 --> 1:23:22.680
<v Speaker 1>media of Oh, and even now, I'm like, there's was

1:23:22.720 --> 1:23:25.400
<v Speaker 1>there any controversy? I didn't hear any controversy. You're like, no,

1:23:25.439 --> 1:23:27.280
<v Speaker 1>there's no I mean when I say there's no controversy,

1:23:27.280 --> 1:23:30.880
<v Speaker 1>there's no two sides that are one side saying yeah,

1:23:30.920 --> 1:23:32.880
<v Speaker 1>this looks like it's totally I haven't seen anyone say

1:23:32.920 --> 1:23:35.639
<v Speaker 1>this looks this looks like it was a clean shoot

1:23:35.800 --> 1:23:38.559
<v Speaker 1>or a legal shoot or a you know, law enforcement

1:23:38.600 --> 1:23:41.160
<v Speaker 1>uses different terms for its self defense. I haven't seen

1:23:41.200 --> 1:23:43.439
<v Speaker 1>anybody making that case based on the video. And it

1:23:43.479 --> 1:23:46.320
<v Speaker 1>reminds me of when that guy that that African American

1:23:46.320 --> 1:23:48.160
<v Speaker 1>man was shot running away from the cop. I think

1:23:48.160 --> 1:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>it was in South Carolina, and there was all this

1:23:50.320 --> 1:23:53.839
<v Speaker 1>lib outrage about see conservatives or even defending this. Every

1:23:53.840 --> 1:23:56.960
<v Speaker 1>single conservative and media I know was like, that was murder.

1:23:57.120 --> 1:23:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Send that dude who shot him to prison for like

1:24:00.160 --> 1:24:03.360
<v Speaker 1>there was no there wasn't a back and forth over that,

1:24:03.439 --> 1:24:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Like people don't actually defend people murdering other people on

1:24:08.680 --> 1:24:11.320
<v Speaker 1>the right and the left seems to like to pretend

1:24:11.360 --> 1:24:13.920
<v Speaker 1>this game that pretend that that's what happens. But I

1:24:14.160 --> 1:24:16.960
<v Speaker 1>think I think we've pretty much covered where this one is.

1:24:17.200 --> 1:24:19.280
<v Speaker 1>We're speaking of Jesse Kelly everybody. He is the host

1:24:19.280 --> 1:24:21.679
<v Speaker 1>of the Jesse Kelly Show on radio, and also I'm

1:24:21.760 --> 1:24:24.519
<v Speaker 1>right with Jesse Kelly on Pluto TV's the first which

1:24:24.520 --> 1:24:25.720
<v Speaker 1>is why I can see him, which is why I'm

1:24:25.720 --> 1:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>giving a hard time about his Miami Vice outfit today.

1:24:28.520 --> 1:24:30.880
<v Speaker 1>But I also wanted to transition Jesse, because you're one

1:24:30.880 --> 1:24:32.519
<v Speaker 1>of the You're one of the few. I mean, I

1:24:32.560 --> 1:24:37.160
<v Speaker 1>can kind of count most of the skeptics out there,

1:24:37.439 --> 1:24:39.080
<v Speaker 1>And when I say skeptics, I just mean people that

1:24:39.160 --> 1:24:41.240
<v Speaker 1>ask questions, right, people that are saying, hold on a

1:24:41.240 --> 1:24:43.840
<v Speaker 1>second about this. You've been very vocal about the damage

1:24:43.880 --> 1:24:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the economy and how the lockdowns were a bad idea.

1:24:46.640 --> 1:24:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I was even more vocal about it for me initially,

1:24:49.280 --> 1:24:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and then I was just like, Okay, people are crazy.

1:24:51.040 --> 1:24:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I can't even I can't take this. And now I'm like,

1:24:53.240 --> 1:24:54.880
<v Speaker 1>all right, this has gotten so bad, I'm gonna be

1:24:54.960 --> 1:24:58.400
<v Speaker 1>vocal about it again. And there are few barrens in

1:25:00.000 --> 1:25:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Matt Walsh is very very much in

1:25:02.760 --> 1:25:05.400
<v Speaker 1>favor of reopened. I mean, there's like a few dozen

1:25:05.439 --> 1:25:07.400
<v Speaker 1>of us that I've been yelling about this for a

1:25:07.479 --> 1:25:11.320
<v Speaker 1>long time online. What's it going to take, man? When?

1:25:11.520 --> 1:25:13.839
<v Speaker 1>Because I guess now has it just become so political

1:25:14.160 --> 1:25:15.920
<v Speaker 1>that it doesn't matter how much suffering there is and

1:25:16.000 --> 1:25:17.840
<v Speaker 1>how many people are losing their businesses and their life

1:25:17.840 --> 1:25:20.360
<v Speaker 1>savings in the process. As long as this crush is Trump,

1:25:20.400 --> 1:25:21.920
<v Speaker 1>it's worth it two people. Is that where we are?

1:25:24.000 --> 1:25:26.360
<v Speaker 1>To be honest, Buck, It's even worse than that. It's

1:25:26.400 --> 1:25:28.840
<v Speaker 1>all a game of percentages, man, It's all a game

1:25:28.880 --> 1:25:32.080
<v Speaker 1>of percentages. The pull after poll after poller continually shows

1:25:32.280 --> 1:25:34.800
<v Speaker 1>that sixty seventy percent of the people are okay with us,

1:25:34.840 --> 1:25:37.479
<v Speaker 1>and the reason for that is Yeah, we've got forty

1:25:37.560 --> 1:25:40.479
<v Speaker 1>fifty million Americans probably unemployed. That's probably the real number.

1:25:40.520 --> 1:25:42.519
<v Speaker 1>It's top thirty three million. It's a lot more than that.

1:25:42.600 --> 1:25:46.599
<v Speaker 1>Everyone knows that, but virtually everyone else is either still

1:25:46.680 --> 1:25:50.160
<v Speaker 1>getting a paycheck or because of that idiot bill they

1:25:50.240 --> 1:25:52.639
<v Speaker 1>passed at two three and dollar bill, everyone was cheering.

1:25:53.080 --> 1:25:56.040
<v Speaker 1>They're paying people the equivalent of fifty two thousand dollars

1:25:56.080 --> 1:25:59.320
<v Speaker 1>a year to be unemployed. I personally know business owners

1:25:59.439 --> 1:26:02.160
<v Speaker 1>more than one who have called their employees because we're

1:26:02.160 --> 1:26:04.599
<v Speaker 1>opening back up in Texas and said, hey, it's about

1:26:04.640 --> 1:26:06.560
<v Speaker 1>time to get back to work, and their employees have said, no,

1:26:06.720 --> 1:26:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm making more money now. So not only have we

1:26:09.600 --> 1:26:13.639
<v Speaker 1>crushed jobs, but we're paying people to stay home. Therefore,

1:26:13.840 --> 1:26:17.000
<v Speaker 1>most of the public, not all, I'd say thirty percent

1:26:17.040 --> 1:26:19.160
<v Speaker 1>of the public, wants to open back up. The rest

1:26:19.200 --> 1:26:21.320
<v Speaker 1>of the people were either still getting to check or

1:26:21.360 --> 1:26:24.240
<v Speaker 1>they're making more money on unemployment. So the politicians look

1:26:24.280 --> 1:26:27.160
<v Speaker 1>at these numbers and think, keep them locked down, and

1:26:27.360 --> 1:26:29.800
<v Speaker 1>we are kicking this can down the road, and the

1:26:29.920 --> 1:26:33.559
<v Speaker 1>pain is now just because it's delayed. Oh, it's it's

1:26:33.640 --> 1:26:35.920
<v Speaker 1>really really bad, buck, I don't I know. It's a Friday.

1:26:35.920 --> 1:26:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to bring anybody down, But as bad

1:26:37.920 --> 1:26:40.200
<v Speaker 1>as you think it is, if I were to actually

1:26:40.240 --> 1:26:42.759
<v Speaker 1>go into all the details of what's happening in this economy,

1:26:43.120 --> 1:26:45.760
<v Speaker 1>it's ten times worse than that. We are what's going

1:26:45.840 --> 1:26:49.640
<v Speaker 1>to take serious the problem here? And you know the politicians,

1:26:50.160 --> 1:26:53.320
<v Speaker 1>you know Cuomo and these people that have been heralded

1:26:53.360 --> 1:26:55.640
<v Speaker 1>in the media. Has Cuomo has been a disaster in

1:26:55.680 --> 1:26:59.320
<v Speaker 1>New York. I mean his contribution so far has been long,

1:26:59.720 --> 1:27:02.800
<v Speaker 1>overblown press conferences that didn't give us data that we

1:27:02.800 --> 1:27:05.360
<v Speaker 1>couldn't have gotten in two slides in two minutes, and

1:27:05.479 --> 1:27:08.639
<v Speaker 1>then also sending people with COVID nineteen back into nursing homes.

1:27:08.840 --> 1:27:11.679
<v Speaker 1>That's been his contribution to the fight against COVID nineteen

1:27:11.720 --> 1:27:13.679
<v Speaker 1>in New York. It's it's been an end complaining about

1:27:13.720 --> 1:27:16.640
<v Speaker 1>ventilators and then turns out we don't need them. But

1:27:16.880 --> 1:27:19.160
<v Speaker 1>the fact that people and this is my concern, that

1:27:19.320 --> 1:27:23.599
<v Speaker 1>people in a majority still want the lockdown to continue.

1:27:23.600 --> 1:27:25.559
<v Speaker 1>You broke down why some people are still getting a paycheck.

1:27:25.640 --> 1:27:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Some people don't understand the economic implications. What does it

1:27:28.880 --> 1:27:32.880
<v Speaker 1>take for that number nationally to move so that people

1:27:32.960 --> 1:27:38.000
<v Speaker 1>realize we've got has to become personal for enough people,

1:27:38.000 --> 1:27:39.960
<v Speaker 1>and it hasn't yet. That's just the truth of the matter.

1:27:40.040 --> 1:27:42.120
<v Speaker 1>But for two months, a lot most people or either

1:27:42.200 --> 1:27:45.519
<v Speaker 1>collected unemployment. They're watching Netflix, they're bay drinking, which God

1:27:45.840 --> 1:27:48.000
<v Speaker 1>God love them for that. But as soon as people

1:27:48.080 --> 1:27:50.360
<v Speaker 1>start showing up at the supermarket and there's no meat,

1:27:50.439 --> 1:27:53.479
<v Speaker 1>then they'll realize. As soon as the unemployment checks stopped coming,

1:27:53.560 --> 1:27:56.160
<v Speaker 1>then they'll realize as soon as we open back up

1:27:56.400 --> 1:27:59.160
<v Speaker 1>and you have exactly half of the restaurants who used

1:27:59.200 --> 1:28:01.640
<v Speaker 1>to have, and they'll realize. I mean, people are not

1:28:01.760 --> 1:28:05.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna it's official now. We live in a country. Sadly,

1:28:06.000 --> 1:28:09.320
<v Speaker 1>unless until it becomes personal, people don't care. I thought

1:28:09.439 --> 1:28:11.559
<v Speaker 1>the one, the one thing I've ever been wrong about

1:28:11.600 --> 1:28:13.840
<v Speaker 1>ever in my life, buck was at the very beginning

1:28:13.880 --> 1:28:15.479
<v Speaker 1>of this I told everybody we were going to have

1:28:15.600 --> 1:28:18.280
<v Speaker 1>thirty plus million unemployed people. Everyone told me I was

1:28:18.360 --> 1:28:20.080
<v Speaker 1>an idiot and I was wrong, and of course I

1:28:20.160 --> 1:28:22.160
<v Speaker 1>turned out to be right, like always. But what I

1:28:22.320 --> 1:28:26.040
<v Speaker 1>said was, once we hit that number, America will freak

1:28:26.120 --> 1:28:28.240
<v Speaker 1>out and wake up, and they'll turn on a diamond

1:28:28.280 --> 1:28:30.920
<v Speaker 1>say open us back up. That's what I was wrong about.

1:28:31.080 --> 1:28:34.200
<v Speaker 1>They still don't give a crap until fifty one percent

1:28:34.280 --> 1:28:37.479
<v Speaker 1>of this population is flat broken, busted, we won't open

1:28:37.560 --> 1:28:41.840
<v Speaker 1>back up again. Thank you, right, which is really disconcerting,

1:28:42.200 --> 1:28:44.840
<v Speaker 1>But he is right because that's the name of his show.

1:28:44.960 --> 1:28:47.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm right with Jesse Kelly. That's the place you should

1:28:47.680 --> 1:28:49.880
<v Speaker 1>go on Pluto TV to check him out. Also listen

1:28:49.920 --> 1:28:53.400
<v Speaker 1>to Jesse Kelly Show and down in KPRC Houston. It's

1:28:53.400 --> 1:28:55.680
<v Speaker 1>a fantastic radio lineup there. They have Jesse Kelly and

1:28:55.800 --> 1:28:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton, so that makes it the best radio station

1:28:57.920 --> 1:29:01.000
<v Speaker 1>in Houston, no question. Chuck him out, Jesse, thanks for

1:29:01.040 --> 1:29:06.320
<v Speaker 1>your time. Man, been good man. You're in the Freedom High.

1:29:06.760 --> 1:29:13.479
<v Speaker 1>This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I mean it's

1:29:13.520 --> 1:29:17.760
<v Speaker 1>been stunning. Actually, how the some of his surrogates with

1:29:17.880 --> 1:29:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the blue checks. You know that our historians have been

1:29:20.120 --> 1:29:23.320
<v Speaker 1>saying really horrible things about me and to me on

1:29:23.479 --> 1:29:27.200
<v Speaker 1>social media. He hasn't himself, but there is a measure

1:29:27.240 --> 1:29:30.280
<v Speaker 1>of hypocrisy with the campaign saying it's safe. It's not

1:29:30.400 --> 1:29:33.400
<v Speaker 1>been safe. You know, all my social media has been hacked,

1:29:33.800 --> 1:29:37.200
<v Speaker 1>All my personal information has been dragged through every person

1:29:37.640 --> 1:29:41.000
<v Speaker 1>that maybe has a gripe against me, an ex boyfriend

1:29:41.080 --> 1:29:43.160
<v Speaker 1>or an ex landlord or whatever it is, has been

1:29:43.160 --> 1:29:46.960
<v Speaker 1>able to have a platform rather than me talking about

1:29:47.080 --> 1:29:49.840
<v Speaker 1>things that have nothing to do with nineteen ninety three,

1:29:50.320 --> 1:29:53.639
<v Speaker 1>like even the whole thing with being called a Russian agent,

1:29:53.840 --> 1:29:58.280
<v Speaker 1>that in particular that incites people people. Actually I got

1:29:58.360 --> 1:29:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a death threat from that because they thought I was

1:30:00.040 --> 1:30:02.479
<v Speaker 1>being a traitor to America. And I mean, these are

1:30:02.640 --> 1:30:06.760
<v Speaker 1>serious things, and his campaign is taking this position that

1:30:06.840 --> 1:30:09.799
<v Speaker 1>they want all women to be able to speak safely.

1:30:10.280 --> 1:30:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I have not experienced that. We will not forget the

1:30:13.800 --> 1:30:17.080
<v Speaker 1>allegations against Joe Biden here on the show, nor will

1:30:17.120 --> 1:30:21.920
<v Speaker 1>we allow it to go without notice that there are

1:30:22.080 --> 1:30:24.400
<v Speaker 1>people who are working for the election of Joe Biden,

1:30:24.439 --> 1:30:28.160
<v Speaker 1>who are supporting him, who are trying desperately to silence

1:30:28.560 --> 1:30:33.200
<v Speaker 1>terror Reid and her thus far entirely credible, not proven,

1:30:33.439 --> 1:30:37.560
<v Speaker 1>but credible allegation of sexual assault that does have contemporaneous corroboration.

1:30:38.680 --> 1:30:42.040
<v Speaker 1>We're not going to let this go. The Democrats, the Libs,

1:30:42.120 --> 1:30:44.960
<v Speaker 1>they pretend to have certain principles, certain goals in mind

1:30:45.040 --> 1:30:48.120
<v Speaker 1>for women, and we know that they're frauds and we

1:30:48.200 --> 1:30:50.000
<v Speaker 1>will hold them accountable for that. So I know, we

1:30:50.040 --> 1:30:51.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't talk about this much that in the show, but

1:30:51.600 --> 1:30:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I will deep dive with you on this on Monday.

1:30:53.720 --> 1:30:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Don't think that I'm letting this one slide. Joe Biden

1:30:56.640 --> 1:30:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and the Democrats are going to answer for what they

1:30:59.320 --> 1:31:02.280
<v Speaker 1>need to here. It's going to happen. Thanks for listening

<v Speaker 1>told by our digital team that our podcast people tend

1:31:44.320 --> 1:31:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to listen to it the whole thing, which is really

1:31:47.200 --> 1:31:48.920
<v Speaker 1>rare in the world of podcast because we do a

1:31:49.000 --> 1:31:50.679
<v Speaker 1>pretty we do a pretty long show, but the whole

1:31:50.720 --> 1:31:52.799
<v Speaker 1>thing out. You know, if I just wanted to producer

<v Speaker 1>a bit, we could put out like a thirty or

1:31:55.600 --> 1:31:58.880
<v Speaker 1>forty minute podcast. Oh, people download that, and it seems

1:31:58.920 --> 1:32:00.600

1:32:00.640 --> 1:32:04.160

1:32:48.120 --> 1:32:50.200
<v Speaker 1>what we're doing on the on the Pluto TV channel,

1:32:50.320 --> 1:32:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and we'll also post some exclusive content there. We're going

1:32:53.120 --> 1:32:54.880
<v Speaker 1>to be doing more and more of that. You know.

1:32:54.920 --> 1:32:56.559
<v Speaker 1>The problem I have now is I'm spending so many

1:32:56.600 --> 1:32:59.040
<v Speaker 1>hours every day doing radio that I really actually am

1:32:59.120 --> 1:33:00.720
<v Speaker 1>running out of time to do anything else than any

1:33:00.760 --> 1:33:04.599
<v Speaker 1>given day. So because I'm doing five hours of radio,

1:33:04.800 --> 1:33:07.559
<v Speaker 1>which is a lot for anybody, five hours of solo radio.

1:33:07.560 --> 1:33:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard of anyone else doing that. I'm sure

1:33:09.720 --> 1:33:12.160
<v Speaker 1>there are some people who have done it, but I

1:33:12.280 --> 1:33:16.439
<v Speaker 1>don't know. That's not not common. David Wright saying, hey, Buck,

1:33:16.720 --> 1:33:19.200
<v Speaker 1>you're a few years younger than I am. But I

1:33:19.280 --> 1:33:21.559
<v Speaker 1>remember when I was a kid, if somebody got chicken pox,

1:33:21.640 --> 1:33:24.320
<v Speaker 1>our parents would have chicken pox parties so we could

1:33:24.320 --> 1:33:26.040
<v Speaker 1>all get out of the way. I'll be a different,

1:33:26.120 --> 1:33:30.400
<v Speaker 1>different virus, but same premise. And David, I've heard of this,

1:33:30.439 --> 1:33:32.519
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I think people have done this with I mean,

1:33:32.600 --> 1:33:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I think measles is more dangerous than chicken pox. I

1:33:35.000 --> 1:33:37.560
<v Speaker 1>don't really know, though, so don't take my word on

1:33:37.640 --> 1:33:40.760
<v Speaker 1>that one. Yeah, I've heard of this. Um, you know,

1:33:41.040 --> 1:33:44.760
<v Speaker 1>chicken pox can actually come back later on in life

1:33:44.840 --> 1:33:50.360
<v Speaker 1>as shingles too, And interestingly enough, I, as a teenager

1:33:50.800 --> 1:33:53.160
<v Speaker 1>had I had I had chicken poxes a little kid,

1:33:53.520 --> 1:33:55.920
<v Speaker 1>but I actually had shingles as a teenager, which is

1:33:56.200 --> 1:33:59.680
<v Speaker 1>very rare, and they had no idea why. But yeah,

1:33:59.720 --> 1:34:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I had full blown shingles when I was about eighteen.

1:34:02.920 --> 1:34:05.800
<v Speaker 1>And to give you a sense of how brilliant doctors are.

1:34:05.840 --> 1:34:08.800
<v Speaker 1>The first dermatologist, a specialist that I went to, thought

1:34:08.880 --> 1:34:12.719
<v Speaker 1>that it was spider bites. It was not spider bites.

1:34:13.320 --> 1:34:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I had to go back and because it spread and

1:34:15.880 --> 1:34:18.320
<v Speaker 1>grew and was very painful. It was on the trunk,

1:34:18.800 --> 1:34:20.639
<v Speaker 1>on my body, and they still I was like, why

1:34:20.680 --> 1:34:22.360
<v Speaker 1>am I getting I'm a healthy kid, I was eighteen,

1:34:22.439 --> 1:34:24.559
<v Speaker 1>I was in great shape. I felt fine, Why am

1:34:24.600 --> 1:34:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I getting shingle? You know, usually it happens people with

1:34:26.280 --> 1:34:28.560
<v Speaker 1>a weekend immune system when they're older, and it's a

1:34:28.880 --> 1:34:34.920
<v Speaker 1>recurrence of the chicken pox chicken pox virus that stays

1:34:35.000 --> 1:34:37.080
<v Speaker 1>in your system. It lies dormant in your system and

1:34:37.120 --> 1:34:39.160
<v Speaker 1>comes back later on, making me very bad for a

1:34:39.200 --> 1:34:41.800
<v Speaker 1>particularly older people. If you get it tends to happen

1:34:41.840 --> 1:34:43.439
<v Speaker 1>on the trunk or on the face, and if it

1:34:43.520 --> 1:34:45.880
<v Speaker 1>gets near your eyes, you can actually go blind from it.

1:34:45.920 --> 1:34:48.719
<v Speaker 1>I think, so you got to be very careful with shingles.

1:34:48.760 --> 1:34:54.439
<v Speaker 1>It's very painful too. Anyway, Ed Rights producer Mark and

1:34:54.479 --> 1:34:56.479
<v Speaker 1>Buck glad you're making it through the great lockdown to

1:34:56.560 --> 1:34:58.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty. Thank you both for what you give us

1:34:58.720 --> 1:35:01.720
<v Speaker 1>out here in lockdown. A well thank you, Ed My

1:35:01.840 --> 1:35:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Talk Radio roots go way back to before the late

1:35:04.840 --> 1:35:09.920
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighties when Rush was doing caller Abortions m During

1:35:09.960 --> 1:35:14.200
<v Speaker 1>the Waco incident, Tacos Ge Gordon Lyddy always referred to

1:35:14.479 --> 1:35:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the HRT as the WOW as the hostage roasting Team.

1:35:19.520 --> 1:35:21.599
<v Speaker 1>It sticks with me to this day and I think

1:35:21.680 --> 1:35:24.200
<v Speaker 1>of it every time you mentioned Waco driving listening with

1:35:24.320 --> 1:35:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Shield's Eye, Well, thank you, Ed. Yeah, I mean, I'm

1:35:27.400 --> 1:35:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you everybody listening to this one if you're

1:35:29.960 --> 1:35:33.439
<v Speaker 1>looking for a show on Netflix, that Waco Show is

1:35:33.960 --> 1:35:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and it was originally was it? What was it on?

1:35:36.479 --> 1:35:40.200
<v Speaker 1>What channel? Was Paramount Network? What was it called Paramount Network?

1:35:40.240 --> 1:35:42.280
<v Speaker 1>It was Paramount Network. Really, I think it was just

1:35:42.560 --> 1:35:45.760
<v Speaker 1>like US is what FX is now? Well, yeah, it was,

1:35:45.840 --> 1:35:47.519
<v Speaker 1>that's right. I think it was an FX series and

1:35:47.600 --> 1:35:52.200
<v Speaker 1>now it's owned by Paramount Um. But it was a Yeah,

1:35:52.600 --> 1:35:54.920
<v Speaker 1>it's a very good series, a very good show. I

1:35:55.080 --> 1:35:58.960
<v Speaker 1>highly highly recommend you check it out. And Taylor Kitch,

1:35:59.040 --> 1:36:02.040
<v Speaker 1>whom some of you would know from, he played Gambit

1:36:02.920 --> 1:36:06.880
<v Speaker 1>in one of the X Men movies. Briefly, so if

1:36:06.920 --> 1:36:09.680
<v Speaker 1>you saw what was it was the Wolverine movie, I

1:36:09.800 --> 1:36:12.200
<v Speaker 1>think do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I

1:36:12.240 --> 1:36:14.200
<v Speaker 1>know you're talking about, but I don't remember him innute. Yeah,

1:36:14.200 --> 1:36:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I forget what. Yeah, he was in it. He was like,

1:36:15.760 --> 1:36:18.160
<v Speaker 1>my name is Remy Lebeaux. I have a weird French

1:36:18.200 --> 1:36:21.280
<v Speaker 1>accident and I'm Gambit, you know. And he's only in

1:36:21.320 --> 1:36:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the movie for a couple of seconds. It is not

1:36:22.880 --> 1:36:25.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not a good appearance really because the Gambit character

1:36:25.240 --> 1:36:26.559
<v Speaker 1>they don't I didn't think they did a good job

1:36:26.600 --> 1:36:29.920
<v Speaker 1>with at all. But he's also from Friday Night Lights,

1:36:29.920 --> 1:36:31.720
<v Speaker 1>which was a show that I liked a lot, even

1:36:31.760 --> 1:36:35.080
<v Speaker 1>though it had its problems. But he the Waco you

1:36:35.120 --> 1:36:38.320
<v Speaker 1>gotta you gotta watch it because here here's the one

1:36:38.400 --> 1:36:40.439
<v Speaker 1>that this factoid. I knew this beforehand, but this comes

1:36:40.479 --> 1:36:43.040
<v Speaker 1>up at the end. FBI said, you had seventy five

1:36:43.120 --> 1:36:47.200
<v Speaker 1>people die either burned to death or smoke innhilation in

1:36:47.520 --> 1:36:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the Waco compound. And FBI made no provision to put

1:36:52.000 --> 1:36:55.400
<v Speaker 1>out the fire after they used the cs gas. So

1:36:55.560 --> 1:36:57.479
<v Speaker 1>the whole that when the building catches on fire, they

1:36:57.520 --> 1:37:00.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't think and they'd been parked outside for like two months. Okay,

1:37:00.400 --> 1:37:03.280
<v Speaker 1>no one thought to have fire trucks handy. That's not

1:37:03.479 --> 1:37:05.360
<v Speaker 1>exactly great planning. It's not like they were short on

1:37:05.400 --> 1:37:08.040
<v Speaker 1>time to figure this out either. And then initially the

1:37:08.160 --> 1:37:12.200
<v Speaker 1>FBI claimed that they did not use any incendiary devices

1:37:12.240 --> 1:37:15.080
<v Speaker 1>of any kind while they were using the cs gas

1:37:15.160 --> 1:37:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to drive them out of the compound. Tear gas basically

1:37:18.360 --> 1:37:21.360
<v Speaker 1>drive them out of the compound. And then it came out,

1:37:21.400 --> 1:37:24.679
<v Speaker 1>oh no, they use flashbang gren eggs and grenades, which

1:37:25.280 --> 1:37:29.880
<v Speaker 1>can be an incendiary device. So they lied. They lied

1:37:29.880 --> 1:37:34.479
<v Speaker 1>about it, which you know, FBI cannot lie. You know,

1:37:34.560 --> 1:37:39.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe they should like put that on big plaques and

1:37:39.360 --> 1:37:43.120
<v Speaker 1>put her all over the Jay Edgar Hoover building in DC.

1:37:44.120 --> 1:37:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Quite a guy to name the FBI building for it

1:37:46.439 --> 1:37:50.320
<v Speaker 1>when you think about some of his stuff. Anyway, I

1:37:50.560 --> 1:37:54.320
<v Speaker 1>really recommend you see the Waco show surely, And by

1:37:54.360 --> 1:37:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the way, you know the other thing is, yeah, but

1:37:55.840 --> 1:37:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the branch Davidians, i mean, David Koresh was a nut

1:37:58.200 --> 1:38:00.599
<v Speaker 1>job and a peto and a lot of terrible stuff

1:38:00.640 --> 1:38:03.840
<v Speaker 1>going on there too. But we expect the FBI to

1:38:03.880 --> 1:38:08.240
<v Speaker 1>act appropriately even when dealing with Koresh. Koresh like nut jobs.

1:38:09.680 --> 1:38:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Surely have you seen patients of videos of patients being

1:38:12.720 --> 1:38:16.080
<v Speaker 1>wheeled out of the hospital after surviving complicated treatment for

1:38:16.160 --> 1:38:19.040
<v Speaker 1>COVID staff lining the hall is clapping. I guess they

1:38:19.040 --> 1:38:21.280
<v Speaker 1>are over fifty staff standing right next to each other,

1:38:21.400 --> 1:38:24.960
<v Speaker 1>but wearing masks inside a hospital yet fill in the blank.

1:38:25.240 --> 1:38:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Can't be in a salon, can't be in a church, etc. Etc. Well, surely,

1:38:32.520 --> 1:38:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, surely, I think I get what you're trying

1:38:34.280 --> 1:38:36.040
<v Speaker 1>to say here, But keep in mind that in a

1:38:36.200 --> 1:38:39.680
<v Speaker 1>hospital they're being I mean, they're wearing protective equipment and

1:38:39.680 --> 1:38:43.160
<v Speaker 1>they're they're all being exposed to the virus. So they're

1:38:43.439 --> 1:38:45.920
<v Speaker 1>inherently being exposed to virus. It's a little different than say,

1:38:45.960 --> 1:38:48.640
<v Speaker 1>in a grocery store something like that. But we'll keep it.

1:38:48.720 --> 1:38:50.320
<v Speaker 1>We gotta keep an eye on make sure that the

1:38:50.400 --> 1:38:53.800
<v Speaker 1>standard is applied universally through all these different jurisdictions that

1:38:53.880 --> 1:38:56.440
<v Speaker 1>are saying you have to wear wear masks. But you know, hospitals,

1:38:57.560 --> 1:39:00.360
<v Speaker 1>they they're on they're dealing with this stuff, and so

1:39:01.439 --> 1:39:04.080
<v Speaker 1>they know they know what they're what they're up against.

1:39:04.080 --> 1:39:08.280
<v Speaker 1>At this point, Dave, how is it that China opened

1:39:08.360 --> 1:39:10.680
<v Speaker 1>up a while back, but we are still closed with

1:39:10.800 --> 1:39:14.000
<v Speaker 1>talk of kids not going back to school in the fault? Dave,

1:39:14.080 --> 1:39:17.360
<v Speaker 1>that is a very good question for which nobody really

1:39:17.400 --> 1:39:20.720
<v Speaker 1>has a great answer. Did China really control this thing?

1:39:21.080 --> 1:39:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Or is China pretending to have it under control? We

1:39:24.080 --> 1:39:27.320
<v Speaker 1>know China not just not only lied about it in

1:39:27.479 --> 1:39:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the early stages, but also the Chinese government was stockpiling

1:39:32.080 --> 1:39:34.320
<v Speaker 1>equipment to deal with it when they were telling everybody

1:39:34.360 --> 1:39:35.760
<v Speaker 1>else that, you know, there was no big deal here,

1:39:35.840 --> 1:39:38.679
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be fine. And we know they lied

1:39:38.720 --> 1:39:41.960
<v Speaker 1>about the casualties they suffered from this. But have they

1:39:42.680 --> 1:39:47.840
<v Speaker 1>using extreme measures? Have they really managed to contain which

1:39:47.880 --> 1:39:49.559
<v Speaker 1>I guess is the best way to describe it, contain

1:39:49.640 --> 1:39:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the virus. There are some other countries that seem to

1:39:52.200 --> 1:39:55.439
<v Speaker 1>have achieved a state of containment right now, Australia, Japan,

1:39:55.680 --> 1:39:58.639
<v Speaker 1>South Korea. They seem to have this contained, but they're

1:39:58.680 --> 1:40:01.760
<v Speaker 1>also not fully returned, so they have a contained but

1:40:01.800 --> 1:40:05.160
<v Speaker 1>they haven't really fully returned to normal life either, So

1:40:05.600 --> 1:40:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that's notable. But the answer is I don't.

1:40:10.080 --> 1:40:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know exactly, and I don't think anybody really

1:40:14.080 --> 1:40:17.960
<v Speaker 1>knows exactly how true China's containment is and what they've

1:40:18.120 --> 1:40:24.360
<v Speaker 1>done well that we could emulate over here. Eric is

1:40:24.400 --> 1:40:26.479
<v Speaker 1>a very smart character, this Eric, he writes in the

1:40:26.479 --> 1:40:31.280
<v Speaker 1>subject line, I love producer Mark Gee. I wonder if

1:40:31.320 --> 1:40:34.920
<v Speaker 1>when producer Mark is looking for roll call segments that

1:40:35.160 --> 1:40:37.080
<v Speaker 1>is going to catch his attention. Eric, you are a

1:40:37.160 --> 1:40:39.800
<v Speaker 1>smooth operator. That was very smart, I admit, and I

1:40:39.960 --> 1:40:42.320
<v Speaker 1>rarely include the subject line in the email, but I

1:40:42.400 --> 1:40:46.040
<v Speaker 1>mean when I sent it to you, But Eric worked

1:40:46.080 --> 1:40:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the system on this one. We gotta give him credit

1:40:47.880 --> 1:40:50.320
<v Speaker 1>for it. Quick question, Buck, do you think the Salon

1:40:50.400 --> 1:40:52.960
<v Speaker 1>case in Dallas will end up in the Supreme Court

1:40:53.040 --> 1:40:56.479
<v Speaker 1>to determine the constitutionality of it. I hope it gets

1:40:56.560 --> 1:40:59.160
<v Speaker 1>deemed unconstitutional to set a pressent for the next time

1:40:59.160 --> 1:41:02.519
<v Speaker 1>the Lips try to pull this again. What are your thoughts, Eric,

1:41:02.640 --> 1:41:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't it's not going to go that far. I

1:41:05.080 --> 1:41:08.599
<v Speaker 1>think the state is likely to drop all charges against her.

1:41:09.479 --> 1:41:12.599
<v Speaker 1>And you know we've seen this now with the Supreme

1:41:12.640 --> 1:41:14.519
<v Speaker 1>Court decision that I actually think was the wrong one

1:41:15.160 --> 1:41:18.880
<v Speaker 1>for guns and the transportation of legally owned firearms here

1:41:18.960 --> 1:41:21.640
<v Speaker 1>in New York, where all they had to do was

1:41:21.760 --> 1:41:24.680
<v Speaker 1>once they got caught with what was clearly an unconstitutional law,

1:41:25.080 --> 1:41:27.000
<v Speaker 1>they changed the law a little bit, and then when

1:41:27.040 --> 1:41:29.000
<v Speaker 1>it makes its way with the Supreme Court, Supreme Court

1:41:29.040 --> 1:41:31.960
<v Speaker 1>says it's a moot point. It doesn't matter anymore. So

1:41:32.600 --> 1:41:36.160
<v Speaker 1>if the lockdown, you know, I would think that some

1:41:36.240 --> 1:41:38.439
<v Speaker 1>of this stuff we're seeing in lockdowns, if people sue

1:41:39.479 --> 1:41:41.879
<v Speaker 1>when they're suing for relief, unless they can prove specific

1:41:42.000 --> 1:41:44.040
<v Speaker 1>damages to themselves or their business, which I'm sure a

1:41:44.040 --> 1:41:45.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of people could. But you know, this is going

1:41:45.400 --> 1:41:48.200
<v Speaker 1>to get very complicated. But they're going to also say, well, look,

1:41:48.240 --> 1:41:50.280
<v Speaker 1>this is no longer the law, so we don't really

1:41:50.360 --> 1:41:53.840
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about this, do we. That seems to

1:41:53.920 --> 1:41:56.320
<v Speaker 1>me to be at least somewhat the precedent that was

1:41:56.400 --> 1:42:02.760
<v Speaker 1>set in that Supreme Court case you're in the freedom Hunt.

1:42:03.200 --> 1:42:09.799
<v Speaker 1>This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right, rollcall

1:42:09.880 --> 1:42:12.960
<v Speaker 1>continuing here. Buck love the show. Listen to the podcast

1:42:13.160 --> 1:42:15.599
<v Speaker 1>every day. This is from Nate. Thank you so much, Nate.

1:42:16.200 --> 1:42:20.799
<v Speaker 1>Here in Virginia, Comrade Northam just extended our non essential

1:42:20.880 --> 1:42:24.519
<v Speaker 1>business shutdown for the whole state, despite fifty percent of

1:42:24.640 --> 1:42:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Virginia's cases being limited to the counties and cities around

1:42:27.400 --> 1:42:30.000
<v Speaker 1>DC and Richmond. I live in a small city in

1:42:30.040 --> 1:42:32.719
<v Speaker 1>the western part of the state. We only have twenty

1:42:32.760 --> 1:42:36.439
<v Speaker 1>confirmed cases and one hospitalization. I spoke to a friend

1:42:36.479 --> 1:42:38.679
<v Speaker 1>whose wife is a nurse with the UVA Health System,

1:42:39.000 --> 1:42:41.839
<v Speaker 1>and according to her, only three of the hospitals twenty

1:42:41.960 --> 1:42:45.000
<v Speaker 1>ventilators have been used. My parents are in the high

1:42:45.040 --> 1:42:47.120
<v Speaker 1>risk category, but even they say this has gone on

1:42:47.240 --> 1:42:49.439
<v Speaker 1>way too long. We're all just hard of being cooped

1:42:49.520 --> 1:42:52.160
<v Speaker 1>up in our houses. Yeah. I hear this from more

1:42:52.160 --> 1:42:53.720
<v Speaker 1>and more people, even who are in the high risk

1:42:53.760 --> 1:42:56.680
<v Speaker 1>category in New York too. They're saying, you, guys, we

1:42:56.800 --> 1:42:58.599
<v Speaker 1>might be a little slower, but you who are at

1:42:58.640 --> 1:43:00.519
<v Speaker 1>lower risk, if you want to go out there, you

1:43:00.560 --> 1:43:02.639
<v Speaker 1>should be able to. You should be able to open

1:43:02.720 --> 1:43:05.960
<v Speaker 1>your business. Just go to work and start to engage

1:43:06.040 --> 1:43:08.000
<v Speaker 1>in day to day life and commerce and things like

1:43:08.360 --> 1:43:10.920
<v Speaker 1>going to the gym. If the gym in my in

1:43:11.040 --> 1:43:13.240
<v Speaker 1>my building where I live opened and I live in

1:43:13.240 --> 1:43:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a building with hundreds and hundreds of residents, so the

1:43:15.160 --> 1:43:17.560
<v Speaker 1>gym can be very busy. If the gym in my

1:43:17.640 --> 1:43:22.360
<v Speaker 1>building opened up, I would go tomorrow. Just the truth.

1:43:22.680 --> 1:43:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know there's some risk or whatever, and

1:43:24.439 --> 1:43:26.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, I try not to touch my eyes a

1:43:26.560 --> 1:43:29.920
<v Speaker 1>lot after touching the shared equipment and stuff, But you know,

1:43:30.000 --> 1:43:33.559
<v Speaker 1>what else are you gonna do? Because man, I'm getting

1:43:33.560 --> 1:43:35.720
<v Speaker 1>a little slower and a little rounder every day. Right now.

1:43:35.720 --> 1:43:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I've done I've been doing some push ups here and

1:43:37.320 --> 1:43:39.080
<v Speaker 1>there when I can, But you know, it's tough to

1:43:39.160 --> 1:43:41.400
<v Speaker 1>motivate through pushups when like you're just wearing sweats all

1:43:41.479 --> 1:43:43.439
<v Speaker 1>day and the most exciting part of your day is

1:43:43.479 --> 1:43:46.040
<v Speaker 1>picking out what you're gonna watch on TV, and you

1:43:46.080 --> 1:43:47.880
<v Speaker 1>know what you're gonna put on the popcorn you're making,

1:43:48.400 --> 1:43:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Slash the ice cream you're eating, Slash the cookies that

1:43:52.520 --> 1:43:55.720
<v Speaker 1>you might be baking. You know what I mean? What

1:43:55.800 --> 1:43:59.040
<v Speaker 1>happens to that one hundred push up challenge? I got

1:43:59.080 --> 1:44:00.600
<v Speaker 1>about seven days in it, and then I got a

1:44:00.600 --> 1:44:03.639
<v Speaker 1>headache and I kind of fell off then for a week. Though,

1:44:04.040 --> 1:44:06.920
<v Speaker 1>well it's more than I did, I guess. Yeah, I mean,

1:44:06.960 --> 1:44:08.759
<v Speaker 1>so I probably should get back to because it's supposed

1:44:08.800 --> 1:44:11.960
<v Speaker 1>to be thirty days not seven buck Yeah, good, good point,

1:44:12.040 --> 1:44:14.560
<v Speaker 1>good reminder. That multipodcast, you know, I got it to

1:44:14.640 --> 1:44:17.200
<v Speaker 1>do list I got. I would put the multipodcast above

1:44:17.280 --> 1:44:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the pushups. That's just me alright, alright, fair enough, Oh,

1:44:21.720 --> 1:44:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Nate writes more. I didn't even see this. I get

1:44:23.680 --> 1:44:27.320
<v Speaker 1>a laugh, perfect tibe. Whatever your producer, Mark discuss pet options.

1:44:28.160 --> 1:44:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I've had guinea pigs for about eight years. They're very

1:44:31.880 --> 1:44:34.960
<v Speaker 1>friendly and common. Great attributes for when you're stuck at

1:44:35.040 --> 1:44:38.800
<v Speaker 1>home during a pandemic, plus easy to maintain. If you

1:44:38.920 --> 1:44:41.519
<v Speaker 1>really want to be ambitious, you can get their South

1:44:41.600 --> 1:44:45.000
<v Speaker 1>American cousin, the copy Bara, which is truly a an

1:44:45.240 --> 1:44:47.840
<v Speaker 1>r o us a rodent of unusual size. Keep up

1:44:47.840 --> 1:44:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the great work, shields high, Nate. Can you legally get

1:44:52.080 --> 1:44:55.559
<v Speaker 1>a copy bar in America? I know, they're like rats

1:44:55.600 --> 1:44:58.080
<v Speaker 1>that are the size of dogs, literally the size of dogs.

1:44:58.640 --> 1:45:02.280
<v Speaker 1>They are rodents that are huge. Yeah, they're they do

1:45:02.640 --> 1:45:04.840
<v Speaker 1>no googles. No, no, I don't. I don't want to know.

1:45:05.560 --> 1:45:07.200
<v Speaker 1>They're kind of cute though, because they don't have a

1:45:07.280 --> 1:45:10.560
<v Speaker 1>scary looking rat face. Just get a doll, yeah, or

1:45:10.640 --> 1:45:13.000
<v Speaker 1>just get you see. Basically, you want me to get

1:45:13.040 --> 1:45:16.000
<v Speaker 1>a subway rat, June. No, no, no, a thirty pound

1:45:16.040 --> 1:45:17.880
<v Speaker 1>subway rat. I mean, I wouldn't be shocked if you

1:45:17.920 --> 1:45:21.120
<v Speaker 1>saw one of those on the subway, would you? Especially? Yeah?

1:45:21.160 --> 1:45:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you don't know what they down there.

1:45:23.560 --> 1:45:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I've definitely seen some rats that I feel like we're

1:45:27.320 --> 1:45:29.559
<v Speaker 1>three or four pounds, three or four. I've seen ones

1:45:29.600 --> 1:45:32.760
<v Speaker 1>that are at least close to ten. Come on, yes,

1:45:32.880 --> 1:45:34.800
<v Speaker 1>come on, you've never seen one on the subway would

1:45:34.800 --> 1:45:37.439
<v Speaker 1>be absolutely I might be exaggerating a little bit, but

1:45:37.560 --> 1:45:40.680
<v Speaker 1>like there's some huge rats down on the subway system. Yeah. Man,

1:45:40.720 --> 1:45:42.920
<v Speaker 1>it's a perfect environment for them. They're people just throwing

1:45:42.960 --> 1:45:45.400
<v Speaker 1>trash and food down there all the time. They can

1:45:45.479 --> 1:45:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, they have no real they have no real predators.

1:45:48.400 --> 1:45:50.280
<v Speaker 1>People start trash on the tracks as if there's not

1:45:50.360 --> 1:45:53.040
<v Speaker 1>like a garbage can ten feet away from them. I did,

1:45:53.160 --> 1:45:55.519
<v Speaker 1>you know? I did. I never understand why people can't

1:45:55.600 --> 1:45:57.719
<v Speaker 1>take better, better care of their trash on the subway,

1:45:57.800 --> 1:46:00.240
<v Speaker 1>and then they complain when the subway shuts down because

1:46:00.439 --> 1:46:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the trash is on fire or something. Yeah, it's crazy, Jake,

1:46:05.960 --> 1:46:10.080
<v Speaker 1>keeps it going here, Buck, you really should move to Nashville.

1:46:10.560 --> 1:46:13.280
<v Speaker 1>You would have access to an iHeartRadio facility, no state

1:46:13.360 --> 1:46:16.799
<v Speaker 1>income tax, and minimum state gun laws not to mention freedom.

1:46:17.080 --> 1:46:18.439
<v Speaker 1>You could live in the middle of the city if

1:46:18.439 --> 1:46:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to stay urban, or you could live in

1:46:20.040 --> 1:46:22.280
<v Speaker 1>a suburban rural area if you wanted to breathe clean air,

1:46:22.840 --> 1:46:25.360
<v Speaker 1>not paying state income tax. You could probably fly back

1:46:25.360 --> 1:46:27.240
<v Speaker 1>to see your family in NYC once a month and

1:46:27.320 --> 1:46:32.280
<v Speaker 1>still come out ahead. Jake, that is a very feasible

1:46:32.479 --> 1:46:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and enticing plan. So don't think that that has not

1:46:35.200 --> 1:46:37.719
<v Speaker 1>crossed my mind, especially as the New York shutdown continues

1:46:37.760 --> 1:46:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to drag on and on. I love Nashville, great town.

1:46:41.200 --> 1:46:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I actually just spoke to a friend yesterday out in

1:46:42.920 --> 1:46:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Denver about trying to go out and see our friends

1:46:45.200 --> 1:46:48.800
<v Speaker 1>at ninety three seven FM in Denver. So once the

1:46:48.880 --> 1:46:50.880
<v Speaker 1>world opens up and I can start to travel again,

1:46:51.360 --> 1:46:54.240
<v Speaker 1>they mean that I've been promising KLBJ Austin, and I've

1:46:54.280 --> 1:46:57.840
<v Speaker 1>been promising and now recently ninety three seven FM Denver,

1:46:57.960 --> 1:46:59.680
<v Speaker 1>that I'll make stops there. So those are two very

1:46:59.800 --> 1:47:02.120
<v Speaker 1>high on the list for me. But we got we

1:47:02.200 --> 1:47:03.880
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of places, a lot of places we

1:47:03.960 --> 1:47:05.479
<v Speaker 1>want to visit, you know, a lot of things that

1:47:05.600 --> 1:47:08.080
<v Speaker 1>we want to want to check out and see. I mean,

1:47:08.240 --> 1:47:11.439
<v Speaker 1>we got WRNO in New Orleans. I love New Orleans.

1:47:11.680 --> 1:47:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Bruster Mark, we'd go on a little, a little field

1:47:13.520 --> 1:47:15.559
<v Speaker 1>trip down there. Check that out. Yeah, as long as

1:47:15.600 --> 1:47:18.200
<v Speaker 1>you're taking producer Mark with you, I'm okay with all

1:47:18.240 --> 1:47:21.360
<v Speaker 1>of us. Yeah. I've never even been in Nebraska. Kfab

1:47:21.640 --> 1:47:25.679
<v Speaker 1>in Omaha, Nebraska. Love to check out the k KFAB folks.

1:47:25.720 --> 1:47:29.240
<v Speaker 1>They've been loyal Team buck listeners for years. We got

1:47:29.320 --> 1:47:33.480
<v Speaker 1>so many We've got so many places. WHP and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

1:47:33.960 --> 1:47:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Wa WHP has been with us since the beginning of

1:47:37.120 --> 1:47:40.960
<v Speaker 1>this show. They were early buck Leavers and so that's

1:47:41.000 --> 1:47:43.960
<v Speaker 1>old school Team Buck there as well. So you know

1:47:44.040 --> 1:47:48.360
<v Speaker 1>we've got waeb Allantown Bethlehem, Pennsylvania another great station that.

1:47:48.439 --> 1:47:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these are all places I want to go

1:47:49.960 --> 1:47:52.160
<v Speaker 1>visit and promising to do it for a while, but

1:47:52.240 --> 1:47:54.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's tough when the planes are all shut down.

1:47:54.200 --> 1:47:58.360
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna make it happen. I'm gonna make it happen. JJ.

1:47:59.479 --> 1:48:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Those who believe in the sacredness of a government's right

1:48:01.720 --> 1:48:03.760
<v Speaker 1>to supreme power is a belief that the government is

1:48:03.800 --> 1:48:06.559
<v Speaker 1>a benevolent parent who will make you live in a warm,

1:48:06.640 --> 1:48:09.760
<v Speaker 1>predict protected bubble with no cares or worries. They are

1:48:09.800 --> 1:48:13.160
<v Speaker 1>perpetual children, deluding themselves that they're giving up their choices

1:48:13.200 --> 1:48:16.080
<v Speaker 1>for the greater good, afraid of the consequences of people

1:48:16.160 --> 1:48:18.840
<v Speaker 1>allowed to make their own choices. I don't think I

1:48:18.880 --> 1:48:21.560
<v Speaker 1>have much to add to that. Thanks, JJ, team, have

1:48:21.680 --> 1:48:24.000
<v Speaker 1>a fantastic weekend. Shields High
