1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart app or wherever you get 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: your podcasts. Two and oh President Trump at this point 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: when it comes to official efforts to remove him from office. 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: But if you were to add up all the different schemes, 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: all the artifices, all the mechanisms, all the ambushes, the 8 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: crazy stuff that the Libs tried to get rid of 9 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: this president, I don't even know what the number would be, 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: but dozens and dozens of the Trump would be fifty 11 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: and oh at this point. So they had a second impeachment. 12 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: What exactly was this for? That's what everybody now looking 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: at this has to ask. Why did they try this? 14 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: Why did they go to these lengths abuse the system 15 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: in this way for yet another unsuccessful impeachment and removal effort. 16 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: I know impeachment work. That's just because they have a 17 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: simple majority in the House. This means if the standard 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: is we have the vote, so we will impeach. It 19 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: will debase this process into oblivion. And at some level 20 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: I do believe that is what the Democrats are planning here. 21 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: I think that's what has happened, whether they recognize it 22 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: maybe or not. Anytime somebody has the votes, they may decide. 23 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: You know, you know what would really slow down and 24 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: mess up this presidency if we were to just go 25 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: all out and impeach. What for? We'll find something. You 26 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: can always find something, right. This is like that old 27 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: line about how an aggressive enough prosecutor can can get 28 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,279 Speaker 1: a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. You'll always 29 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: find something. What did they find this time around? Well, 30 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: they had the appalling, appalling approach of the president was citing, 31 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: was inciting an insurrection, claiming that Donald Trump ordered and 32 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,279 Speaker 1: overthrow a the United States government. Now that's just not true. 33 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: You know, was there was there overheated rhetoric? Yes? Was 34 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: the president going too far where some of his election 35 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: claims based on what he could prove? Absolutely? Was it 36 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: a tense political moment that people should have allowed cooler 37 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: head to prevail I'm talking about before January sixth? Yes, 38 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: But did Donald Trump order an overthrow of the United 39 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: States government a de facto coups so he can be 40 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: in power? No? And this whole scam that Democrats were 41 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: engaged in their manipulating the evidence that's being presented. Remember, 42 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: this is not actually a court, so they can do 43 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: whatever they want, and they did, but enough people saw 44 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: through it. I know there are a handful of Republicans 45 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: who went along with this, but we've always known there 46 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: are these extreme never Trumpers. They've been around from the 47 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: very beginning, and they are willing to assist the Democrats 48 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: in the destruction of the entire Republican Party if that's 49 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: what it comes to, in order to take down Trump. 50 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: Anything to get Trump. And now I think there's a 51 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: concern among so many on the left, certainly in the 52 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: news media, what do they do now Now they don't 53 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: have Donald Trump as quite the boogeyman that he had 54 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: been for them for four years. They can't just run 55 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: night after night insane stories about how Donald Trump is 56 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 1: actually a Russian asset. They can't just continue on here 57 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: and pretend that he's still the most powerful man in 58 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: the world. No, that job, thanks to the Democrats and 59 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: all their schemes and lies and misrepresentations during the twenty 60 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: twenty election, that job is in Joe Biden's hands, and 61 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: we're already seeing what a disaster that is. Sky can't 62 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: tie his own shoes it seems never mind run the country, 63 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: and all of the actual decision make that's happening so 64 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: far comes straight out of the left wing playbook. There's 65 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: no unity, there's no down this center, there's no Oh, 66 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna be technocrats who are just going to show 67 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: people what good governance looks like. This is ideologically based stuff. 68 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: That's what they're doing, that's what they're going with. And 69 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: I see this now and I say, it's a moment 70 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: where we have to just say, look at what President 71 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: Trump has been through, look at what they've put this 72 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: president through. And now think about how much he's had 73 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: to do here, how much he's had to withstand even 74 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: after leaving office. And it's a it's a model in 75 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: a sense, it's it's a preview I think of what 76 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: we should expect going forward. Democrats will just never stop. 77 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: They don't get tired of this, you know, they're they're 78 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: like the ideological terminator. They don't feel pity or fear 79 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: or remorse. They just keep coming and coming. They will 80 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: not stop until they get what they want or until 81 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: someone stops them, until they're defeated clearly, resoundingly at the 82 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: ballot box. And just also in our political culture. I mean, 83 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: we have to start winning some major arguments here. And 84 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: the greatest asset that the Republican Party has is Democrats 85 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: getting to do what they actually want to do. Democrats 86 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: are much better at just running around calling Republicans racists 87 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: and white supremacists and tools of Wall Street and all 88 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: these other smears, these slanders that have nothing to do 89 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: with anything when it comes to policy. They're much better 90 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 1: at that when they're actually in charge. What you see 91 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: already from Joe Biden is incompetence, and you see ideologically 92 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: based decision making that no reasonable, no rational person could 93 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: think is a good idea, but they do it anyway. 94 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: They do it anyway. There there was really very little 95 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: question here that Trump was going to beat the second 96 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: impeachment of a president. I mean, he's the most impeached 97 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: president in history and the most acquitted president in history. 98 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: And maybe they should have thought long and hard, the 99 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: Democrats about what they were doing the first time around, 100 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: because I think that really hurt them this time. I 101 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: think that anybody with good faith approaching this would have 102 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: to look at what happened with Democrats this time around 103 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: as an extension of what they had already tried, which 104 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: was the destruction of a presidency based on a phone 105 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: call that led to nothing, that broke no laws, that 106 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: did nothing, and if anything we know now was even 107 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: more correct than we had initially anticipated. Some troubling things. Though, 108 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: this is not over. I don't just mean the battle 109 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: for the future of this country. I don't just mean 110 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: some of these specific some of these specific constitutional issues 111 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: and the way the Democrats are abusing them. I mean 112 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: it's not over for Donald Trump, either in good ways 113 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: and in bad ways. They have not given up on 114 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:17,239 Speaker 1: this yet. Mitch McConnell, who clearly despises Donald Trump and 115 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: is in many ways the single biggest example of the establishment, 116 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: you know, establishment Republican. I mean, I would say rhino, 117 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: but guys, you know, on the judges, he does some 118 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: things well, I know, right right now, the most popular 119 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: thing to say would be Mitch McConnell is awful on everything. 120 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: He's bad on Trump, he's good on judges. Credit where 121 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: it's due. I keep it real, even when I know 122 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: some people are gonna WinCE. I know I winced too. 123 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: But Mitch McConnell's not awful on everything. He's just not 124 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: Cocaine Mitch did some good things, but he hates Trump, 125 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: and some people lost their patience with Trump because the 126 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: guy's decision making, particularly about personnel. I mean, he says 127 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: he hires the best people. That's actually untrue. Now we 128 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: can all say it right now, we're all a family. 129 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: You're listening to me. All across the country, Trump hires 130 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: the worst people. Generally speaking, Trump has some of the 131 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: worst instincts for who to put in positions of authority 132 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: and power around him of any human being I've ever 133 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: seen in my entire life. Just a fact, it's just obvious. 134 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: But was he a fighter? Did he do a lot 135 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: for the country just by exposing the crazy left? Was 136 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: his presidency up until COVID a resounding success. I think 137 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: the answers to all of that are yes. But Mitch 138 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: McConnell still very upset here he is played twenty or 139 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: President Trump's actions preceded the riot or a disgraceful, disgraceful 140 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: dereliction of duty, There's no question none their President Trump 141 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of 142 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: the day. No question. The people who stormed this building 143 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of 144 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: their president and having that believe was a foreseeable consequence 145 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories, and 146 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: reckless hiberpole which the defeated president kept shouting into the 147 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: largest megaphone on planet Earth. He didn't take steps so 148 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: federal law could be faithfully executed and order restored. No, Instead, 149 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: according to public reports, he watched television happily. Happily. If 150 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: President Trump were still in office, I would have carefully 151 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: considered whether the House managers proved very specific charge. But 152 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: in this case, the question is moot because former President 153 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: Trump Trump is constitutionally not eligible for conviction. So Mitch 154 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: fallen back here on the process argument, which many were 155 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: making all along. I also think the Democrats overreached. I 156 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: really mean this. I mean I mean everything I say, 157 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: but this in particular deserves emphasis. That going for the 158 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: incitement insurrection charge was too far. But they did that 159 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: for a reason, which I'll get to in a moment. 160 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: Why were they overreaching? And they had to know it 161 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: at some level, because this is about more than Trump. 162 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: That's why I'm still talking to you about this. This 163 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: isn't over, and I'll explain why. But we had Cassidy Murkowski. 164 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: Here are the people have voted for for a conviction 165 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: in the Senate, Susan Collins of Maine, Ben SaaS of 166 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: course of Nebraska, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Patrick Toomey 167 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania, Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah. I 168 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: think I think I got him. There. You go. Seven 169 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: of them voted to convict the president prevent him from 170 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: running again. They're not done chasing Trump. You have to 171 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: remember that even if he doesn't plan on running. They 172 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: went for the incitement to insurrection charge for a very 173 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: specific reason, and it's to create a perception that we 174 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: are all part of that anybody who supports Trump is 175 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: tainted by this effort at insurrection. That's really the bottom 176 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: line here. That's actually what we see. That's why they 177 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: went for that charge because it stays even after this 178 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: trial is over. It's now a slander. It's a phrase 179 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: that they will deploy against Trump supporters and against the 180 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: President himself. They've already brought up the possibility of a 181 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: criminal trial for Donald Trump now as a private citizen, 182 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: which I know they'd love to do that, but it 183 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: would be laughable in terms of how unlikely they were 184 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: to get a conviction a criminal trial, and there's also 185 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: the possibility that they would have a civil suit against him. 186 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: They want to continue this, and then there's the talk 187 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: of a nine eleven style commission or maybe even a 188 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: truth commission. Let's talk about what that will look like. 189 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Funk on Facebook, Instagram, 190 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: and Twitter. Senator Coon's you just heard Cresswandean right there 191 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: on the necessity of a nine eleven commission. You agree? 192 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: I do, George. This was a remarkable week, a powerful week, 193 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: and I think the House managers, obviously Congresswoman Dean and 194 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: Congressman Raskin and a very talented team put on an 195 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: incredibly compelling and powerful case. But there's still more evidence 196 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: that the American people need and deserve to hear, and 197 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: a nine to eleven commission is a way to make 198 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: sure that we secure the capital going forward, and that 199 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: we lay bear the record of just how responsible and 200 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: how abjectly violating of his constitutional oath President Trump really 201 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: what Senator Coons also known as Mini me for those 202 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: of you who ever stood next to him, telling everybody 203 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: here that there needs to be a nine eleven style commission. 204 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: Treat this like a nine to eleven level attack so 205 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: that we can secure the capital. How many violent incidents 206 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: have there been at the Capitol since January sixth? How 207 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: many more mobs? How many more threats credible threats against 208 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: the Capitol? Zero? And yet the National Guard is still deployed. 209 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: In fact, as we know, the National Guard, at a 210 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: cost of about five hundred million dollars, is supposed to 211 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: be deployed well into March, and now there is even 212 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: talk of keeping them there far longer than that. Why 213 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: do we have the militarization of DC. Why are we 214 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: still watching as Democrats act like the capital of the 215 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: United States, maybe at any moment the sight of a 216 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: siege and an effort to overthrow, to actually overthrow the 217 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: United States government and seize power. This is about a narrative. 218 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: This is about building a story that will allow for 219 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: the suppression of voices that have nothing to do with 220 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: the January sixth riot, but have everything to do with 221 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: being opposition to Democrats. They're using this as the club 222 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: that they will smash over the heads, so to speak, 223 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: of anybody who stands in the way of this Biden 224 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: administration speaks the truth of the Bide administration, and so 225 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: that's why they want to keep this going. Trump just 226 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: beat it, right, he just wont He just won acquittal 227 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: second time around in basically twelve months. Do you think 228 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: that that stops them at all? No. Now they want 229 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: to have some kind of a nine to eleven style commission. 230 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: Others are talking about having a truth commission. Oh here 231 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: we go, Representative Sarah Jacobs saying exactly that play one. 232 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: So I think part of what we're seeing now is 233 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: because we haven't really done the reckoning with the racial 234 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: injustice and white supremacy of our past that we need 235 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: to do. And so, you know, a truth commission, a 236 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: lot of people will think of South Africa. We've used 237 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: them in countries around the world, and basically what it 238 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: is is its communities all the way up to the 239 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: national level having conversations about both the glory and the 240 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: glory of our history and what happened both throughout the 241 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: history of our country and leading up to and on 242 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: January sixth, so that we can come to a common 243 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: narrative moving forward of what we want our country to be. 244 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: Do you think the houses that leadership have the stomach 245 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: for that, I think. So, Look, we all were victims 246 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: of this attack in addition to being the lawmakers of 247 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: this country, and I know for a lot of us 248 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: this is very personal. We've had threats to our lives, 249 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: threats to our homes and our families, and so I 250 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: think that there are a lot of us who know 251 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: that this impeachment trial was just the start of holding 252 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump accountable, but that we need to make sure 253 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: that we're doing accountability of anyone who incited, encourage or 254 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: committed acts of violence, and then really looking forward at 255 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: kinds of things like truth commissions, like democracy, like institution 256 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: building that we know are going to be the real 257 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: fixes to what we've seen in this country. Democrats encourage 258 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: violence with blam and anti for all the time, all 259 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: the time, constantly, no accountability for that whatsoever. They still 260 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: they're still talking about, oh yeah, you know, that's for justice, 261 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: that's for justice. But they're really planning, and I think 262 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: we have to take this seriously. They're they're going to 263 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: try to do this. They have the votes. They're going 264 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: to turn Congress into this side show where they're still 265 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: talking about Trump. If they have their way, there are 266 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: going to be people like Adam Schiff with tears in 267 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: their eyes talking about how ter what Trump wasn't I 268 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: still haven't recovered from Trump, and oh my god. And 269 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: that way they keep it going in the public's mind 270 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: that we're under this constant threat, the troops in DC, 271 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: the nine to eleven style commission, the sense that at 272 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: any moment, Trump with his MAGA hordes could descend upon 273 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: DC and overthrow the government. This is lunatic level stuff, 274 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: but they will convince people of it, and they'll convince 275 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: people of it so that folks like you and me 276 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: can be silenced, suppressed, mistreated, surveiled, people that just you know, 277 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: want to be left alone. Don't want to wear five masks, 278 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: want schools to be open, want lower taxes, don't want 279 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: to pretend that men and women are the same, want 280 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: to have women's sports still be a thing. Don't think 281 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: the climate change is going to end the world. None 282 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: of that makes you a bad person. It makes you rational, 283 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: But your rationality is an enemy of their agenda, and 284 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: therefore you are an enemy. You're in the freedom hunt. 285 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast to 286 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: get the latest from Buck at Buck Sexton dot com. 287 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: What is next for the Republican Party do you think, 288 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: I mean, look to be Frank, A majority of the Senate, 289 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: a majority of the House, a majority of the American 290 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: people all agree with what you have said about Donald Trump, 291 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: about the insurrection, about how he incited it. But a 292 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: majority of the Republican Party voters do not feel that way. 293 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: You know, that's true, Jake, But I think that that's 294 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: going to change over time. I mean, let's this is, 295 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: We're only a month into the Biden administration. I think 296 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: that the final chapter of Donald Trump and where the 297 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 1: Republican Party goes hasn't been written yet. And I think 298 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: we're going to have a real battle for the soul 299 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party over the next couple of years. 300 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: And we're going to say, are we going to be 301 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: a party that would that can't win national elections again, 302 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: that it loses the Presidency, the House, and the Senate 303 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: in a four year period and loses governors and state 304 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: legislative bodies, or are we somehow going to get back 305 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: to a real traditional Republican Party, common sense conservatives that 306 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: want to argue and put up, you know, to push 307 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: for the things that we've always believed in and to 308 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: try to compete with Democrats because I think that a 309 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: competitive two party system is so important to our democracy. 310 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: And we're losing, there's no question about that. You know. 311 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: They always have this after Democrats win an election, the 312 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: autopsy of the Republican Party thing that lasts about six months. 313 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: So just get used to this. Now. They're gonna want 314 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: you to be really demoralized. They are going to want 315 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: you to believe that this is the end of the 316 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: of the party that you've known and that everything that 317 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: you voted for for the last four years, everything you 318 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: believed in, is gone. And I'm here to tell you 319 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: that's all nonsense. It's not true. I remember back in 320 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: even twenty twelve, you know, you know what the consultant 321 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: class of the GOP was saying. They were telling everybody 322 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: that until Republicans could win and I forget what it was, 323 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: but it was a large percentage of the Latino vote, 324 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: they were never going to win another national election. And 325 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,479 Speaker 1: then Donald Trump comes in and actually want a larger 326 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: share of the white working class vote than GOP candidates 327 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: had in the past, and he won a huge election 328 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. So don't listen to the consultants, and 329 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: definitely don't listen right now. Just tune it out. I mean, 330 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: we'll make fun of them here on the show, obviously, 331 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: but but don't listen to the milktoast Republicans out there. 332 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: You know, the Republicans that are just kind of me 333 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: because they're gonna get a lot of airtime right now. 334 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: They're gonna be given a lot of attention because they 335 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: do what Democrats want. The controlled opposition is about to 336 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: be elevated all over the place. That was Governor Hogan 337 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: from Maryland on CNN. You'll see a lot of this 338 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: Republicans who want to want to have that strange newfound respect. 339 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: That's the rais right, that's a strange newfound respect emerging 340 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: for Ben Sass of Nebraska after his vote to remove 341 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump from well, to ban him from office was 342 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: what really would have been right to convict him in 343 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: the Senate trial. A strange new respect for Senator Lisa 344 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: Murkowski and so on. But none of those people are 345 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: representative of where the Republican bases. None of those people 346 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: speak for where the hard and soul of the Republican 347 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: Party is right now. And that's exactly why they get 348 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: the airtime they do. That's exactly why you'll be hearing 349 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: from them, because they they want one you to feel 350 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: like your leaders now are these whimps, these nincome poops 351 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: who can't get anything done and who the Republican Party 352 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: only tolerates in so far as they win in you know, 353 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: purple states, you know Susan Collins and Maine comes to mind. 354 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: I mean that they're better than the alternative in a 355 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: certain plays, but they by no means speak for the 356 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: rank and file of the GOP. And I don't mean 357 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: elected officials, I mean people. I mean you're you're run 358 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: of the mill Republican and this belief that that now 359 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: we have to listen to all the all the consultants 360 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: and all the analysts who were so wrong. But everything Trump, 361 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: this is just this is all part of the propaganda 362 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: games the Democrats will be playing. Here is a vicious 363 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: anti Trumper and a surly and far less bright than 364 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: he thinks he is. Fellow Charlie Sykes talking about the 365 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: becoming Republican Civil War play three, and I think that 366 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: you're going to see Donald Trump engage in a revenge 367 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: tour that he is going to make the split in 368 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: the Republican Party even worse. You know, I didn't think 369 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: that Mitch McConnell's speech was extraordinary. I mean, he was 370 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: clearly two based, it was clearly hypocritical, but he did 371 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: step up. But he got some things off of his chest. 372 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: And the one thing that he made very very clear 373 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: was that Donald Trump may have been acquitted, but he 374 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: was not exonerated. That he is still deeply damaged. So 375 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: here's the question. You have these Republicans that hid behind 376 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: a technicality. Almost none of them would, except for to 377 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham, defended Donald Trump or praise Donald Trump. He's 378 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: damaged goods. So it's going to be somewhat difficult for them. 379 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: They will be able to do it, though, because this 380 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: is who they are, to turn around and say, yes, 381 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: but we support Donald Trump, we think he's good for 382 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: the country. Maybe we should have four more years. So 383 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: this is going to be an interesting test for this 384 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: political party. Here. There's a real gap between the institutional 385 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: Republican Party in the Senate, led by Mitch McConnell, which 386 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: has decided to move on from Trump, and the base, 387 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: which for the moment I think is sticking with Donald Trump. 388 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: But twenty twenty two is going to be a Republican 389 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: civil war, and I think they're gonna have a problem 390 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: in the general elections if they continue down this path. Now, 391 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: not only does Sykes speak as a never trumper, a 392 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: spiteful never trumper who helped Democrats at every turn against Trump, 393 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: but gainst the Republican Party as well. Not only is 394 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: he saying all that, Uh, there's something that's being left 395 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: out of this analysis that I want everyone to be 396 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: remembering as we go forward here, something that's not going 397 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: to not getting the attention that it should from all this, 398 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: and that is the Democrat Party, which we've already seen 399 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: as they're talking about bands on on certain kinds of guns. 400 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: Now we've already seen there talking about all kinds, I 401 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: mean just all kinds of far left wing policy. Yeah, 402 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: I think assault rifles are they're disgusting. I mean, there's 403 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: it's all just out there in the ether. They haven't 404 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: really nailed down exactly what gun control measures they're going 405 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: to take. But then you get to climate change and 406 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: you see how left wing they are on that. On 407 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: the border, these are not centrist policies. And now the 408 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: big problem that they that the Democrats have is the 409 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: American people are seeing they didn't have some great plan 410 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: to stop COVID. The Democrats didn't. Weren't sitting on some 411 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: some magic strategy to make the country feel much better. No, 412 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: in fact, they're vowing and begging and scraping for the 413 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: teachers union. Oh yes, teachers unions, whatever you need. I 414 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: thought it was about the kids. No, it's never about 415 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: the kids when teachers unions are involved, because they are 416 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: adults who give money to Democrats. And that's the single 417 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: most important thing. Nothing matters to Democrats more than that. 418 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: That brings me down to the issue of school reopen right, 419 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: So so avoid the fake Republican or the controlled opposition 420 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: Republican voices you're going to be hearing now. Are are 421 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: just useful for the other side. They are useful idiots 422 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: for the Democrats. So that's one part. And then as 423 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 1: as for school reopening, this is where Democrats have become 424 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: vulnerable finally because they everyone can see what's going on here. 425 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: The data is very clear. There's really no contradictory and 426 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: ration about this. It's very clear what should happen. They 427 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 1: will not do it. They will not do what is necessary, 428 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: which is to open schools. They're playing games. The CDC 429 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: is involved in this as well, bureaucrats, unions, Democrats. It's 430 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: a very bad situation. And then you have the Cuomo 431 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: disaster and it just keeps getting worse, which is great, 432 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: and we're going to really dig into that shortly. But 433 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. You have to understand that the Democrat 434 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: Party is now calling the shots in all these different 435 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: areas of COVID policy and they're not making anything better. 436 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: They didn't have any better ideas. And Faucci has has 437 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: exposed himself for anybody who didn't know this before that 438 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 1: little Papa Smurf bureaucrat, Fauci has shown everybody that he's 439 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: really a Democrat. I mean, he was so excited, so 440 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: excited to go on Rachel Maddow's show and oh it's great, 441 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: I could speak truth now. And yeah, how's all that 442 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: truth speaking working out for us? What exactly is the 443 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: different policy? You know what? The one thing they've said 444 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: that's different is this year double mask, which I know 445 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: they can ban me from as many social media platforms 446 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: people can complain about me as much as possible. It's 447 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: moronic and if anyone disagrees with me, explain why we 448 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: shouldn't triple mask because it's just not that big a deal. 449 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: It's no big deal, go around, can't breathe uncomfortable all 450 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: day long? What's the problem. You don't want to go 451 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: through life and constant discomfort because I'm a paranoid lunatic 452 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: who's a friend? Oh, triple mask, triple masker. I don't 453 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: want to hear it. That's my position. And if you 454 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: triple mask, I might have to think about quad masking, 455 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 1: because I think quad masking is probably the way to go. 456 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: But here's Fauci showing you exactly who he is and 457 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 1: what he's all about. Play eight. They are guidelines, but 458 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: they're not requirements. How confident are you that the guidelines 459 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: will be followed and the school districts have the resources 460 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: they need to reopen safely? Well, George, the second part 461 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: of your question is really a good one. I think 462 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: that the schools really do need more resources. And that's 463 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: the reason why the National Relief Act that we're talking 464 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: about getting past we need that the schools need more resources. 465 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: The things we didn't have before. There wasn't that was 466 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 1: there wasn't anything that was put down solidly on paper 467 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 1: on saying these are the kind of things that you 468 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: should consider, These are the kind of things that you 469 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,719 Speaker 1: should follow. I mean, it was talk about it, but 470 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: it wasn't actually put down in a single document that 471 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: you could access the teachers, the educators and everyone else. 472 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: Can I think it can be done. I mean, obviously 473 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: it's not a perfect situation, but it's really important to 474 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: get the children back to school and as safe as 475 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: way as possible, safe for the children, but also safe 476 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: for the teachers and the other educators. You know what 477 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: he's really saying, They need more money. Give the gift, 478 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: Give the the unions more money. Yeah, that's right, give 479 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: him more money. Oh, he says resources, more money. What 480 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: does that have to do with the fact that schools 481 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: are safe and have been open for months already when 482 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: they're private and parochial schools. Did anyone throw them a 483 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: whole lot of money? Did anyone give them resources? M No, 484 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: they just went along with life and they're fine. We 485 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: don't need new ventilation systems in the schools. We don't 486 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: need to spend god knows how many billions of dollars. 487 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: We don't need to be giving five year olds a 488 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: new mask every day. This is lunacy. Open the damn schools, 489 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: all of them now, they have no real reality. We 490 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: gotta do it safely, gotta it's safe. What does that mean? 491 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: Kids can go to school at any point in time 492 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: and they could can get the flu, they can get 493 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: you know, meningitis, They can't get any number of things. Right, 494 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: There's no such thing as perfect safety. I mean, kids 495 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: are fine if they get COVID and they basically don't 496 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: transmit it. That means acceptable risk. That means it's fine, 497 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: go about your life. It's like we've all of a 498 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: sudden handed experts like Faucci, Experts like Faucci the right 499 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: to go around tell everybody, hey, you know, you can't 500 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: take I don't care how bad your toothache is, you 501 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,479 Speaker 1: can't take tile at all because it can kill you. Fact, 502 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: some of these NSAIDs can cause bleeding of the stomach, 503 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: and bleeding of the stomach could actually kill you. But 504 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: that might happen to one person, you know, out of 505 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: a million or less than that. I don't even know. 506 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: But and usually it only happens after you've done it 507 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: for many years, you've been drinking heavily, drinking heavily while 508 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: taking NSA. But there's still risk. Some people can have 509 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: a very bad read. You can have a bad reaction 510 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: to any medicine, any vaccine for that matter. That's just 511 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: a fact. Do you not take any medicines because you 512 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: could theoretically die from it? Do you do you refuse 513 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: to ever eat peanut butter because you could develop an allergy? 514 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: Or I know it's a legoon, but you know, did 515 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: you do you refuse to go near anything that has 516 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: nutst it because you might have an adult onset allergy 517 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: and go into anaphylaxis and die. No, because that's not 518 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: how you live your life. But this is what they're 519 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: doing with the schools. They're creating these completely unrealistic Oh, safely, 520 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: that's always a thing. It's gonna be safe. It is 521 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: safe right now, we all know it. But they're trying 522 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: to hold kids hostage to get more money, more money 523 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: out of the taxpayer. You know they're gonna do. They're 524 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: gonna have all this money that's supposed to be for 525 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: COVID stuff, and I'll be sitting in piles in these 526 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: different school districts and then when they don't use it, 527 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: for COVID because they don't have to. And maybe it 528 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: goes into teacher's ot, maybe it goes into the pension plan. 529 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: That's the game they're gonna play. Listening to the Buck 530 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast, make sure you subscribe to the podcast 531 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, one, 532 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: it would be in constitution. All would be a political 533 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: attack against Florida. If you look Maria right now, you 534 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: hear this debate over schools. Florida schools have been opened 535 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: the whole school year. We have Every parent in Florida 536 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: has the right to send their child to in person instruction. 537 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: Every worker has a right to work and earn a 538 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: living and put food on their table, and every business 539 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: has a right to operate. And consequently, our state is 540 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: doing very well compared to these other states in terms 541 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: of education and economy. But we also have twenty six 542 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: other states in the District of Columbia that have higher 543 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: per capita COVID mortality than we do. We have twenty 544 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: eight states that have higher per capita cases than we 545 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: do for the bulk of the pandemic. And if you 546 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: look right now, states that are always held up by 547 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: people in Biden's administration, like New York have way higher 548 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: per capita patients hospitalized for it right now. So there's 549 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: no basis in medical there's no basis and economics, there's 550 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: no basis in reality to do this except to punish 551 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: a state that is doing it better than what his 552 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: experts have recommended. Biden is a lockdowner. His advisors are lockdowners. 553 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: Lockdowns don't work. We've demonstrated that we're not turning back 554 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: Maria and they will not be able to get away 555 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: with targeting Florida. Lockdowns don't work. Isn't it just music 556 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: to the years to have somebody in the position of 557 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: the governor of the third largest state in America say 558 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: that out lot. I wonder is Facebook going to censor him? 559 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: Is this going to be banned from the Internet as well? Soon? 560 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: A governor who's pointing to data in fact and showing 561 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: that there was no benefit from what California did. There 562 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: was no benefit from the draconian and capricious, arbitrary lockdowns 563 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: of New York and New Jersey and Michigan and Illinois 564 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: and Maryland. What was the benefit exactly? Wow? Line them up. 565 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: Take a look at those states. Take a look at Florida. 566 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 1: This is we are so lucky that there's one governor 567 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: of a state of that size. I know people would say, oh, 568 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: but what about Look, they're always going to knocks out 569 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: Dakota for having you less people than Jersey City or 570 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: something altogether. I mean, that's not a correct comparison. But 571 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: they're always going to say it's too spread out and 572 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: they're not enough people, so it doesn't count. That's the claim, right, 573 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: it's too spread out, there are not enough people, So Florida, 574 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: they can't say. That's over twenty million people and there 575 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: are major cities, and so you can look at Florida 576 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: and New York and California and have a pretty close 577 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: to an Apple's to apples comparison. But they hate this 578 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 1: because they really manage a large part of defeating Trump. 579 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: Let's be very clear about this. Yes, it was all 580 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: the mail in balloting and all that stuff, but that 581 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: was only possible because of COVID. They leverage COVID and 582 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: a lot of mistruth around COVID, namely that Donald Trump 583 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: was responsible for all of it to beat him. Now 584 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,720 Speaker 1: people are seeing it was lies. This is Buck's first 585 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: thoughts the news you need to get through your day 586 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: in forty five minutes. Make sure you subscribe on the 587 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: iHeart app or wherever you get your podcasts. Democrats are 588 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: in charge, which means that everything related to COVID should 589 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: be getting better, right, I mean policy wise. You know, 590 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: the cases are going down substantially, hospitalizations are way down. 591 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: Everything's going down. But that's because it is the middle 592 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: of February. And as we've known all along, there is 593 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: a seasonality to COVID. Right. As we've known all along, 594 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen isn't going to stay at the same level 595 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: all throughout the entire year, just as happened last time. 596 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: It's going to start going down. But in areas where 597 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: Democrats have clear control on concet policy, it's a mess. 598 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: It's a nightmare. This CDC director of Wilenski was on 599 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: Fake Tapper's show, and I gotta tell you it's it's 600 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: worth What I hate saying it's worth watching is I 601 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: don't want you to get that guy any ridings. But 602 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: it's it's true that you have to watch the interview 603 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: because she just is engaging in so much double speak, 604 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,919 Speaker 1: just kind of running around in circles spewing a whole 605 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: lot of nonsense about how well schools should open. But 606 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 1: they can open until they're safe, and they're safe, but 607 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: they won't be safe enough until we have more safety measures, 608 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: even though other schools don't have those measures. And they're saying, 609 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you just you get dizzy listening to her, 610 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: just talking circles, and she won't answer the question why 611 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: can't we open schools like tomorrow? Kids are suffering. This 612 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: is really bad. Adults. Parents are suffering too, And we're 613 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: gonna go through really this whole school year where where 614 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 1: millions of public school students have been zoom learning, which 615 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,839 Speaker 1: is not actually learning, as we all have found out 616 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: a whole year of this. I mean the fact that 617 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: they're not sitting around talking about how they're gonna I mean, 618 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: every school district in the country, every school district in 619 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 1: the country should have summer school, all right, kids? Do 620 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: you I gotta tell you. Do you think kids would 621 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: even object to this? Not that it really matters, you 622 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,800 Speaker 1: think after not seeing their friends not being able to 623 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: do anything for over a year, Trust me, they're sick 624 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 1: of playing Mario Kart or whatever the kids play these days. 625 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 1: There's only so many TikTok videos they can post and 626 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: watch before actually seeing their peers and having day to 627 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:46,359 Speaker 1: day interaction and living life becomes something that they want again. Right, 628 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: So anyway, all that you've got this is just a 629 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: piece of this interview. It's just blather. This woman's just 630 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: just sighting blather because all we all know what's going 631 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: on in the heads of democrats. It's Oh, if we 632 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 1: open schools and everything's fine, then some people will be 633 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: smart enough to figure out, Wait, why couldn't we have 634 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: done this months ago? Because because they've said that you 635 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: don't actually have to even wait to get everybody vaccinated. 636 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 1: You got Fauci saying we need the rescue package that 637 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: means money for schools. But what exactly is that money 638 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: gonna buy. You're gonna you're gonna mask up children. You know, 639 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: there's a study it's not yet peer reviewed, so they're 640 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: gonna knock it down, but there's a study out there 641 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: about masking of kids and how it gives them headaches 642 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: and it's you know, creates anxiety, and they're they're really 643 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: our drawback every we're so gas lit in this country 644 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 1: that the idea of not being able to breathe normally 645 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: and freely is considered not an imposition at all. It's 646 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: no big deal. Doctors, people should doctors do it when 647 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: they're working, not when they're going to the grocery store. Now, 648 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 1: when they're walking on the street, now, where they're taking 649 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 1: fight over a stroll out in the park alone. No 650 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: one does that except now we have to all do it. 651 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 1: You don't think that has psychological effect. It's dehumanizing. You 652 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: walk around, you can't see anyone else's face. It's a 653 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: constant reminder we're sick, be scared, be compliant. Anyway, here's 654 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: this CDC director who is just just awful, just awful, 655 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,879 Speaker 1: Well Lensky play sixteen. Well, we need to make sure 656 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 1: that all of those steps are happening. And it's masking, 657 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 1: it's distancing, it's potting and cohorting of the younger children. 658 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,399 Speaker 1: It is you know, cleaning of surfaces, it's handwashing, and 659 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: it's contact tracing and diagnostic testing in an efficient manner 660 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: in collaboration with departments of public health. Not all schools 661 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,240 Speaker 1: are able to do all of those things right now, 662 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: and many of those schools are in red zone. So 663 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: we need to make sure that as we come out 664 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: of the red zones and do our part as a 665 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: society to get down from red to lower rates of transmission. 666 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 1: And we need to do the work to get all 667 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: of those mitigation strategies up and running in all of 668 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: these schools. The American Rescue Plan has resources one hundred 669 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: and thirty billion dollars of resources to facilitate and help 670 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: schools get there. And that's really why we want it. 671 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 1: We're pushing for the Rescue Plan so that we can 672 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: facilitate getting those schools all of those mitigation measures so 673 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: that they can open safely. A hundred and thirty billion 674 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 1: dollars for schools, folks, that's what this is about. You 675 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,319 Speaker 1: hear that all just are through there there one hundred 676 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: and thirty one hundred and thirty billion for schools in 677 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 1: addition to their normal budget which is already bloated and huge. 678 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: And this woman, what she's saying is so stupid. Is 679 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 1: a CDC director what you're saying is so dumb. We're 680 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: going to have test and trace strategies in place in 681 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 1: the schools. Yeah, how's test and trace going for the 682 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,360 Speaker 1: alts out there? For the last oh, let's say, nine months, 683 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 1: it's a joke. They're not They're not tracing anything. There's 684 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,359 Speaker 1: too many cases. It's everywhere, it's all over the place. 685 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: They're gonna ty. Test and trace is supposed to be. 686 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 1: We find the case, we find everyone you've talked to, 687 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: We make sure that they quarantine. We stopped, we stopped 688 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: the virus from spreading. Is there any basis to believe 689 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: that has worked anywhere in the United States so far? 690 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: I ask you that, and I have to bring this up. 691 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,280 Speaker 1: They they'll say, well, test and trace was really effective 692 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 1: with ebola, Okay, Yeah, Which means you know, if you 693 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 1: get someone with Ebola's blood in your eyes or you know, 694 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: in your system, that's a that's a very different thing. 695 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 1: If someone on the subway coughs in their hand and 696 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,359 Speaker 1: then coughs in the air a little bit, and you know, 697 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: sub sub microscopic particles find their way into your nose, 698 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,359 Speaker 1: that could happen and you won't know it. If someone 699 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,400 Speaker 1: coughs blood in your face, I think you're gonna know. 700 00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna know a lot easier to test 701 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: in trace that. They also say tests and trace is 702 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: very effective with syphilis and other STDs. Right, there's a 703 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: reason for that, But no, they're going to test and 704 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: trace with an aerosolized virus that is in a pandemic situation, 705 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,280 Speaker 1: millions and millions and millions of cases all across the country. 706 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: Think about that, Think about the resources involved. But they're 707 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: still talking about this like it's not idiotic because this 708 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: is just their their bureaucracies, and these are their policies, 709 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 1: and this is what they're gonna do. This is what 710 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: they're gonna say. And you sit around and you go, well, 711 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 1: we'll hold on a second. What exactly does that mean 712 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: for the schools, because they're never going to get these 713 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,880 Speaker 1: policies and everything up and in place, potting them, social 714 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,439 Speaker 1: distancing them. I mean, they're gonna send the kids into 715 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: school and treat it like it's some kind of weird 716 00:42:53,680 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 1: science experiment masks plexiglass. The fundamental reality is that it 717 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: is reasonable and safe and responsible from from the perspective 718 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 1: of child safety to let your kid go into school 719 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: with no mask on. Just go into school because they're 720 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: not at risk. That's what's actually been shown by all 721 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,879 Speaker 1: of the numbers. And it's very unlikely that they can 722 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: even pass it to anybody else because their system clears 723 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: it so quickly. That is what the data has told us, 724 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: but they refuse, they refuse. That's the rational conclusion here, 725 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: not we need to do fifty things and spend one 726 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty billion dollars. If this mentality persists, we're 727 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 1: never going to go back to normal. And don't you see, 728 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 1: they're going to let this recede, but they're going to 729 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 1: keep this whole health bureaucracy and this health autocracy in place. 730 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 1: And then the moment, oh, we gotta you think there's 731 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:55,879 Speaker 1: gonna be a big flu season. They're gonna come back 732 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,799 Speaker 1: with all this stuff all over again. You know, we 733 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: gotta have social distances. I gotta know how many times 734 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 1: have I been wrong about this stuff so far? I 735 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,439 Speaker 1: ask you that. I know it sounds it might sound 736 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 1: crazy right now, but CDC just came out with double masking. 737 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: Do you think that was maybe to cover for Fauci 738 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: when he went out and said ye had double masking, 739 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 1: and then they realized they had no data. Oh and 740 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: then within two weeks of Fauci saying that they've got data, 741 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 1: hard and fast data. Yeah, they just figured it out. 742 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 1: You think through this and you realize how stupid all 743 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: of it is, and how these people are lying to you. 744 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: And there's so much cowardice around this issue, and it's 745 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 1: causing a lot of pain. It's causing a lot of 746 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,839 Speaker 1: emotional and psychological damage and anxiety. And for people who 747 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 1: think that that's not real, it is very real. The 748 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: suicide rate, the drug abuse rate, you know, the destruction 749 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 1: of families that's occurring. You know, it's like we're all 750 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 1: living in this prison state and they're always convincing the 751 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 1: prisoners that it's for their own good, that they don't 752 00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 1: want freedom. You don't want freedom. It's too dangerous for 753 00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 1: you to be free. This is what This is what 754 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: the state, the big s state is now telling you. 755 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,800 Speaker 1: That's why so many people are going down to Florida 756 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: and breathing some fresh air and metaphorically and literally and 757 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 1: being out and saying, hold on a second, there's there 758 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 1: is still the possibility of living in America still exists. 759 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,879 Speaker 1: We can choose to live in America again. We don't 760 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 1: have to be in this bureaucrat autocracy where the Fauciites 761 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,720 Speaker 1: get to just make it up as they go along 762 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,839 Speaker 1: and anybody who challenges it gets shouted down. I mean, 763 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: the stuff that people say to me online that the 764 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 1: things that are written mean like, I don't care if 765 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: people are morons, and you know, we're all on borrowed 766 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 1: time anyway, So what are you going to live in fear? 767 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 1: But this stuff that the idiots say about anybody like 768 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 1: me who challenges the shifting consensus. They'll say that science 769 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 1: is settled, as though it's etched and granite, and then 770 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,840 Speaker 1: a week later they'll take sledgehammers to that piece of 771 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: glant and grant it and they'll, you know, etch it 772 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: on another one, a totally different rule or a totally 773 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 1: different conclusion. And they keep doing this to us. Oh 774 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 1: it's done, this is the right way, and then a 775 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 1: few weeks or a few months later it's oh, it 776 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 1: turns out that wasn't the ring. Now it's done. It's 777 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 1: the right way. And if at any point you say, well, 778 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 1: hold on a second, could we have more of a 779 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 1: discussion about this, people say the most horrible things to you. 780 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 1: You don't care about people dying, You don't care about 781 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 1: all the terrible things that are happening. No, I care 782 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 1: about all of the terrible things that are happening, including 783 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 1: the destruction of livelihoods, and lives from policies rooted in 784 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 1: panic and control and arrogance. There's so much arrogance in 785 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,919 Speaker 1: all of this too, something we don't nearly talk about enough. 786 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 1: These bureaucrats, these health professionals, politicians, they have to believe. 787 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 1: They insist at some level that it has been in 788 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,799 Speaker 1: their power to shut this whole thing down, It has 789 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 1: been in their power to make this whole thing stop. 790 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,400 Speaker 1: You know what, the point of failure has been you, me, 791 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: and you. We are the point of failure. Not their policies, 792 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: not their pompous pronouncements. It's that we didn't do a 793 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 1: good enough job listening to them. They really believe that
