Speaker 1: You're in the freedom height. Thanks for listening to The
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast to get the latest from Buck
Speaker 1: at buck Sexton dot com. I've been right about Faucci
Speaker 1: the whole time. You know that. I know that, and
Speaker 1: it's good to be right, But in this case, I
Speaker 1: wish I had been wrong because of what it has
Speaker 1: meant for the country. So many people have been holding
Speaker 1: this guy up as though he's the great hero of
Speaker 1: the pandemic. What we're going to find out is that Faucci,
Speaker 1: based on the truth, based on facts and numbers and reality,
Speaker 1: Faucci is somebody that is worse in how he responded
Speaker 1: to the pandemic than even Cuomo and knew some of
Speaker 1: some of these idiot governors that did a terrible job.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that, but you know, Flag season is here, folks,
Speaker 1: and I've been telling you about our friends at Allegiance
Speaker 1: Flag Supply, a great American small business where the founders
Speaker 1: started the company because they were tired of buying American
Speaker 1: flags that got tangled up and just worn out really
Speaker 1: quickly when they're out on display, and they really believe
Speaker 1: strongly that the American flag should be made here in America.
Speaker 1: You might be saying to yourself, A flag is a flag,
Speaker 1: isn't it? Buck? No, my friends, if you've had an
Speaker 1: American flag in front of your house and you've ever
Speaker 1: experienced the constant tangling around poles or the quick deterioration
Speaker 1: because of wind, rain, sun, this is where American flags
Speaker 1: from Allegiance Flag Supply stand out. Their flags are made
Speaker 1: from two hundred denier nylon, a material strong and durable
Speaker 1: but lightweight enough to fly nicely in a breeze. The
Speaker 1: flags are also made with mold resistant material and crafted
Speaker 1: using double needle lock stitching. In addition, when you buy
Speaker 1: their flags, that you receive their non tangle flagpole spinners
Speaker 1: that ensure your flag will spin around the pole and
Speaker 1: no longer get tangled. Allegiance Flag Supply blink. Allegiance Flag
Speaker 1: Supply brings the respect to the manufacturing process that the
Speaker 1: American flag deserves, and you can experience the high quality
Speaker 1: of this craftsmanship in front of your own home by

Speaker 1: Fauci emails drop in all over the place now thanks
Speaker 1: to a Freedom of Information Act request. I highly recommend
Speaker 1: you dive into some of them yourself if you get
Speaker 1: a moment, or just listen to this show, I'll do
Speaker 1: it for you because what you'll see is a lot
Speaker 1: of what we've been told, including by Fauci himself, from
Speaker 1: the beginning of the pandemic, was not really reflective of
Speaker 1: the conversation going on behind the scenes. A lot of
Speaker 1: what was going on here involved things like telling colleagues
Speaker 1: that retail masks don't really do very much if anything.
Speaker 1: He was aware there was a possible lab leak. There
Speaker 1: was some talk of gain and function possibility in terms
Speaker 1: of the lab leak theory. Son, here's an example. You know, now,
Speaker 1: the truth starts to come out over a year into
Speaker 1: this pandemic of the guy who was elevated to be
Speaker 1: essentially in charge without any meaningful oversight, without anybody being
Speaker 1: able to say, hold on a second, who is this
Speaker 1: little clown. You know here I am. I'm I'm just
Speaker 1: a humble doctor who happens to have almost stalin like
Speaker 1: authority overall of American society. And you know, maybe I
Speaker 1: have to be on the cover of in Style magazine.
Speaker 1: Maybe I've got to have a book deal, which we
Speaker 1: now know he's got a book coming out as well,
Speaker 1: Expect the Unexpected. Isn't it such a clever title? I
Speaker 1: come up with all the best things, all the best titles.
Speaker 1: This is an email in February of twenty twenty that
Speaker 1: I think you should you should know about. This is
Speaker 1: this is real Freedom of Information Act request from Anthony
Speaker 1: Fauci National Institute of Health. And it's to a woman
Speaker 1: named Silvia. And here's what he says, Sylvia. Quote. Masks
Speaker 1: are really for infected people to prevent them from spreading
Speaker 1: infection of people who are not infected, rather than protecting
Speaker 1: uninfected people from acquiring infection. The typical mask you buy
Speaker 1: in the drug store is not really effective in keeping
Speaker 1: out virus, which is small enough to pass through material.
Speaker 1: It might provide some slim benefit in keeping out droplet droplets.
Speaker 1: If someone coughs or sneezes on you, I do not
Speaker 1: recommend that you wear a mask, particularly since you are
Speaker 1: going to a very low risk location. I'm sorry. Does
Speaker 1: that Does that seem like what we've been told along
Speaker 1: here about this? Does that seem like what the storyline
Speaker 1: has been Ah, it's small enough. The virus is small
Speaker 1: enough to pass through the mask material. This is from
Speaker 1: doctor Anthony Fauci in February of twenty twenty. If you've
Speaker 1: said that at any point in the past year, a
Speaker 1: guy's the virus just goes through this mesh, it doesn't
Speaker 1: actually protect you to wear this mask. And ninety five
Speaker 1: masks give some protection. And I've always said that, but
Speaker 1: cloth masks, bandannas handkerchiefs a joke, absurd. That's what Fouci
Speaker 1: was saying. But you weren't allowed to say this before.
Speaker 1: In fact, Harvard epidemiologist Martin Coldorf I believe is his name,
Speaker 1: had his account on Twitter suspend it for saying that
Speaker 1: masks really don't do very much. You weren't allowed to
Speaker 1: say this. There are so many of these emails that
Speaker 1: I think are important for you to see. Here's one
Speaker 1: this comes from. This is a tweet from Sarah Westwood
Speaker 1: at the DC examiner Peter Dazak, who is deeply involved
Speaker 1: both in Wuhan coronavirus research and in missing in the
Speaker 1: public about the likelihood of a lab league, thanked Fauci
Speaker 1: for helping dispel the myths around COVID origins and blamed
Speaker 1: Fox News for targeting his grants. It's it's amazing, isn't it,
Speaker 1: it says from Anthony Fauci to Peter Dazak Tony, as
Speaker 1: the R zero one grant publicly targeted by Fox News
Speaker 1: reporters at the presidential press briefing last night. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to say a personal thank you on behalf of
Speaker 1: our staff and collaborators for standing up and stating that
Speaker 1: the scientific evidence supports a natural origin for COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: from a bat to human spillover, not a lab release. So,
Speaker 1: you know, thanks so much, Fauci, those bad people at
Speaker 1: Fox News. This is what's going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: These are the actual conversations that are going on. These
Speaker 1: are the things that are determining health policy. But here's
Speaker 1: my favorite of all these emails. I mean, certainly the
Speaker 1: mask thing the science. You gotta listen to the science,
Speaker 1: Fauci says, you have to mask up. Here's one from
Speaker 1: Christian Anderson on Friday, February thirty first, twenty twenty, to
Speaker 1: doctor Anthony Fauci. He writes, Hi, Tony, Yes, I saw
Speaker 1: this earlier, and both Eddie and myself are quoted in it.
Speaker 1: It's a great article. The problem is our phylogenetic analyzes
Speaker 1: aren't able to answer whether the sequences are unusual at
Speaker 1: individual residues, except if they are completely off on a
Speaker 1: philogenetic tree. The virus looks totally normal, and the close
Speaker 1: clustering with bats suggest that bats serve as the reservoir.
Speaker 1: The unusual features of the virus make up a really
Speaker 1: small part of the genome genome, so one has to
Speaker 1: look really closely at all the sequences to see that
Speaker 1: some of the features potentially look engineered. Oh so this
Speaker 1: was in January of twenty twenty. Some aspects of the virus,
Speaker 1: according to a top researcher here, did look like they
Speaker 1: had been engineered. But how is it that we had
Speaker 1: a whole year of being told it was a conspiracy theory?
Speaker 1: How is it that we spend all of this time
Speaker 1: being led to believe that anybody who had questions about
Speaker 1: mask effectiveness, Remember You weren't even allowed to say things
Speaker 1: like masks barely work if they work at all, which
Speaker 1: is obviously true. Oh no, they work, Fauci says, they work. Okay,
Speaker 1: how many times did I ask you on this show
Speaker 1: how well do they work? If they can't tell you,
Speaker 1: then where is the science they're basing this on. If
Speaker 1: they're guessing if it's a good instinct, that's not the
Speaker 1: same as being able to prove it. That's not the
Speaker 1: same as scientific fact. That's where so much of this
Speaker 1: just falls apart. That's where it becomes so very clear
Speaker 1: that there was a lot of politics involved in these decisions.
Speaker 1: This was not a straightforward situation. This was not just
Speaker 1: whatever the science said. That's that's what was relayed to
Speaker 1: the public. Enormously consequential and highly politicized decision making from
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci. And another part of this that I think
Speaker 1: is so interesting is all the emails you see in
Speaker 1: which Fauci's talking about you know, this celebrity or that
Speaker 1: media outlet wants to do a profile on him, wants
Speaker 1: to do an interview with him, wants and we know
Speaker 1: this guy loved it because he's on TV every five
Speaker 1: minutes vanity is a human constant. Unfortunately, scientists are no
Speaker 1: way immune to it, and in fact, many scientists, I
Speaker 1: think are more susceptible to it because they've gone through most,
Speaker 1: if not all, of their lives being nerds who don't
Speaker 1: get the appreciation they deserve, at least in their own minds.
Speaker 1: So the moment that they get a taste of fame,
Speaker 1: the moment they have power, you expect that, because they're scientists,
Speaker 1: they're going to wield that judiciously. Of course, not some will,
Speaker 1: very few will. Most would be just like Fauci, someone
Speaker 1: who all of a sudden found himself going from really
Speaker 1: unremarkable bureaucrat to the most powerful and recognizable person in
Speaker 1: America with the possible exception of Donald Trump when he
Speaker 1: was president, and even that sometimes felt like Fauci, Fauci
Speaker 1: was able to override him. Fauci was critical in delivering
Speaker 1: the presidency to Joe Biden. So he is certainly a
Speaker 1: hero to the left. But when you look at the
Speaker 1: email correspondence, when you have a better understanding of who
Speaker 1: this guy is, you can see that he was part
Speaker 1: of crafting a narrative. It was not all about facts,
Speaker 1: It was not all about science, and they hid a
Speaker 1: lot of this from their In their discussions in front
Speaker 1: of the public and in the pronouncements from on high,
Speaker 1: they got a lot wrong, and they hit a lot
Speaker 1: when it came to information that went against their so
Speaker 1: called consensus. Fauci should be held to account for this,
Speaker 1: but you know it will end up happening. He will
Speaker 1: go off into the sunset, rich and famous and a
Speaker 1: hero to Democrats because they take care of their ideological warriors.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what Fauci has been, a failure in
Speaker 1: the pandemic, a failure to keep American safe and to
Speaker 1: speak difficult truths and to take unpopular but scientifically based positions. No,
Speaker 1: he did what the left Democrat mob, what the collectives,
Speaker 1: what the quadruple maskers wanted him to do, at every
Speaker 1: step of the way. Good for Fauci, bad for America.
Speaker 1: And that's what you see in these emails. And yes,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have egg on their face.
Speaker 1: This was an idea that it was first put forward
Speaker 1: by Mike Pompeio, Secretary of State Donald Trump. And look,
Speaker 1: some things may be true even if Donald Trump said them,
Speaker 1: and there was because Trump was saying so much else
Speaker 1: that was just out of control. And because he was,
Speaker 1: you know, making a frankly racist appeal talking about kung
Speaker 1: flu and the China virus, his notion that put forward
Speaker 1: that this may have or that he said flatly that
Speaker 1: this came from that lab, was widely dismissed. But actually
Speaker 1: there's some real reason. We don't know. By the way,
Speaker 1: we still don't know. We absolutely don't know. But now
Speaker 1: serious people are saying and he's a serious inquiry. Wow,
Speaker 1: serious people. Huh, serious people were saying it all along.
Speaker 1: But he lets you in there. That's I don't know.
Speaker 1: ABC News is Jonathan Carl formerly a Fox News I
Speaker 1: believe he let you in on what the corporate media's
Speaker 1: secret is here, not really much of a secret. They
Speaker 1: were opposed to this because Trump was for this. They
Speaker 1: were opposed to this because it was damaging to Donald
Speaker 1: Trump to have the whole media saying he lies, he's lying,
Speaker 1: he's wrong. It didn't come from a lab. So that
Speaker 1: was their motivation, the truth being accurate. And this is
Speaker 1: not a thing of minor consequence. Don't you think it's
Speaker 1: important to know? Isn't isn't the ultimate test and trace
Speaker 1: finding out where this outbreak began and how it happened.
Speaker 1: Isn't that more important than any other test and trace
Speaker 1: we can really do? How can you prevent the next
Speaker 1: outbreak if you don't know where this one came from
Speaker 1: or what happened. Ah? Yes, this does really matter, doesn't
Speaker 1: It's It's not just something that you can cast aside
Speaker 1: as scoring political points. But there's another part of this
Speaker 1: that I find so curious and people are catching onto this.
Speaker 1: We're also told that there was a opposition to the
Speaker 1: lab league theory because of concerns of racism, that if
Speaker 1: the virus escape from a Chinese lab, there would be
Speaker 1: more racism against Chinese people, Chinese Americans, Asian Americans, whatever,
Speaker 1: that everybody in the AAPI community would be at greater risk.
Speaker 1: Journals really believe this. But to give you a sense
Speaker 1: of how superficial they're thinking is journos believe this without
Speaker 1: stopping to think. Hold on a second, why is it
Speaker 1: gonna create racist backlash if people think that this happened
Speaker 1: as a result of scientific experiments in a lab. But
Speaker 1: not if people believe, as was the official narrative for
Speaker 1: almost a year, that we had millions of people die
Speaker 1: and billions of people infected because some Chinese guys were
Speaker 1: drinking bat soup or eating pangol and kebabs. Why why
Speaker 1: would one result in racism but the other would not.
Speaker 1: I'm just that the thinking here doesn't seem to make
Speaker 1: any sense, does it. I think it's much more It's
Speaker 1: much easier to wrap your head around an accident at
Speaker 1: a lab then it is for people to think, oh, well,
Speaker 1: if people in China want to just eat exotic pets
Speaker 1: in highly unsanitary conditions in these markets, you know that's fine,
Speaker 1: that's a cultural tradition or whatever. No, this never made sense,
Speaker 1: this theory or this this approach to it. But this
Speaker 1: is This is what they've said. And there's serious argument
Speaker 1: out there right now that when we look further into this,
Speaker 1: we're going to find that there was human recklessness, not
Speaker 1: just human error, but human recklessness at the very heart
Speaker 1: of the COVID pandemic. Think about what that will do.
Speaker 1: You want to talk about losing faith in institutions, I've
Speaker 1: already lost a lot of faith in the bureaucratic medical
Speaker 1: institutions out there, places like the CDC and the NIH.
Speaker 1: I've lost faith in anybody who's a Blue Check MD,
Speaker 1: who's been out there cheerleading for lockdowns and masks all
Speaker 1: along because other people were saying so, and then the
Speaker 1: moment that there were BLM protests, it all changed. Well,
Speaker 1: BLM protests are about saving lives, so we got to
Speaker 1: have those, even though we're at the time they were
Speaker 1: saying human gatherings of any kind were completely unsafe. Lives
Speaker 1: at stake. That's what they told us. But what you've
Speaker 1: seen here as well is that there's a final recognition
Speaker 1: among anybody who is paying attention that there's a mass
Speaker 1: mental illness from COVID, that there is a pandemic PTSD,
Speaker 1: there's COVID nineteen derangement syndrome from people that have never
Speaker 1: been sick, and many of them are vaccinated, and they
Speaker 1: still go around acting like they should be absolutely terrified
Speaker 1: of this. And I see this here in New York City.
Speaker 1: I see it every day. There are still countless people
Speaker 1: walking along the streets who are massed up outside. So
Speaker 1: if they're worried about the virus, I have to assume
Speaker 1: they're vaccinated. And if they're vaccinated and outside alone, walking
Speaker 1: in fresh air and worried about this virus, they really
Speaker 1: should be worried about a piano falling off a rooftop
Speaker 1: because the movers made a mistake somewhere and crushing them
Speaker 1: like a cartoon character. Because it's about that risky. I
Speaker 1: cannot guarantee you that if you walk down the streets
Speaker 1: of New York City, a brick won't fall off the
Speaker 1: facade and hit you in the head. I can't guarantee
Speaker 1: you that a a moving company isn't going to let
Speaker 1: a piano slip out the window and crush you. But
Speaker 1: I know that you shouldn't worry about that. I know
Speaker 1: that if you go through your life with that concern,
Speaker 1: you're just really stealing from yourself. And it's even worse
Speaker 1: because these panicked lockdowners also want to steal from you.
Speaker 1: They want to steal your time, your peace of mind,
Speaker 1: your productivity. This all comes with a cost. Doctor Scott Atlas,
Speaker 1: formerly of the Trump COVID Task Force, had this to say,
Speaker 1: play as far as I know, there's no evid that
Speaker 1: the vaccines don't cover the variance. I think even doctor
Speaker 1: Fauci said that, you know, so, I think there's a
Speaker 1: lot of issues here. We're not going to go for
Speaker 1: a zero COVID world or a zero risk world. If
Speaker 1: we do, then you better live in your lock your
Speaker 1: doors and never come out again. I mean, that's just
Speaker 1: fear irrational and in fact, the fear, the fear inciting
Speaker 1: fear in search of zero COVID risk is so harmful
Speaker 1: and it just indicates so many things wrong, including it
Speaker 1: totally undermines the trust in public health leadership. And this
Speaker 1: has really been devastating to that I'm not sure what's
Speaker 1: going to happen the next time we need experts. It's
Speaker 1: all true. People should have tremendous skepticism about anyone who
Speaker 1: holds themselves up as a as a public health expert
Speaker 1: based on what we've seen. This is one of the
Speaker 1: legacies of Fauciism, those who come forward who say they
Speaker 1: know and they don't know. They say it's science, and
Speaker 1: it's really not. And then we find out what they
Speaker 1: call science as actually politics that has a substantial impact.
Speaker 1: That's a reminder to everyone you better beware when someone
Speaker 1: accumulates too much power and has no accountability. Just because
Speaker 1: they wear a lab coat doesn't mean it's all going
Speaker 1: to be just fine. Living at a digital age where

Speaker 1: Intelligence Community, terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal
Speaker 1: threat to homeland today, not visish white supremacist terrorists. Terrorism.
Speaker 1: You've got to be on the lookout for it all
Speaker 1: the time. It's all over the place any moment. Now, Now,
Speaker 1: are there white supremacists? Yes? Are there white supremacist terrorists? Yes?
Speaker 1: Are they really a threat worthy of the kind of
Speaker 1: attention and focus that they get from the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: from the current federal government, from this regime, No, they
Speaker 1: are not. Why do they focus so much on this
Speaker 1: because it creates a climate of of weaponized association of sorts. Right,
Speaker 1: you weaponize the fact that there are right wingers who
Speaker 1: are in some way connected through this tenuous ideological thread
Speaker 1: to some of the extreme far right white nationalist types
Speaker 1: out there. Right, they say, well, you're on the right.
Speaker 1: So this is basically saying, well, if you're a mainstream
Speaker 1: Democrat who's been voting Democrat for fifty years, and you know,
Speaker 1: you're a union worker in Ohio who's Catholic and votes Democrat,
Speaker 1: you're the same as an antifa lunatic who tries to
Speaker 1: burn down at federal courthouse or burned down at church, right,
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. That's what they try to do.
Speaker 1: They try to paint with this intentionally the broadest possible
Speaker 1: brush and sweep everybody in the right in this morally
Speaker 1: evil and from a security perspective, imminent threat of the
Speaker 1: white nationalist terrorists. This is also why you have such
Speaker 1: a focus on the January sixth insurrection. That's why they
Speaker 1: call it an insurrection when it was not that. There
Speaker 1: was no There was no serious threat or even serious
Speaker 1: plum to overthrow the United States government by force. This
Speaker 1: is insane, all right. If one guy with a cart
Speaker 1: that says I am now the President of the United States,
Speaker 1: you know, walks it through Times Square and then tries
Speaker 1: to wrestle a police officer to the ground, that's not
Speaker 1: an insurrection, right, There are limits on the level of
Speaker 1: absurdity we will allow the other side to get away
Speaker 1: with in their description of things. It was a riot,
Speaker 1: something the left is not only comparable with and engages
Speaker 1: with on a regular basis, but often celebrates and justifies.
Speaker 1: We say, no, the riot was bad, breaking the laws bad.
Speaker 1: They should not have done that. They should be punished.
Speaker 1: I don't think they should be held in solitary confinement
Speaker 1: for months on end under the trumped up, pardon the phrase,
Speaker 1: allegation that they were really a mortal threat to the the
Speaker 1: United States government. I keep reading all these news headlines.
Speaker 1: They say, the lethal riot on January sixth, the deadly
Speaker 1: riot on January sixth. The only person who died from
Speaker 1: the riot was a rioter. Nobody else died from the riot.
Speaker 1: But they keep repeating this. All right, having a heart
Speaker 1: attack two days later is not a riot induced violent death.
Speaker 1: That's not the same thing. But they keep saying it.
Speaker 1: Why because they need this. They have to create a
Speaker 1: story for themselves here of the righteous left wing of
Speaker 1: the Democrats restoring decency and normalcy to America. Keep in mind,
Speaker 1: they're restoring decency by defining everybody who does not agree
Speaker 1: with their agenda as being evil and worthy of suppression,
Speaker 1: worthy of the force of the state being brought to
Speaker 1: bear against them. This is not a recipe for a
Speaker 1: healthy political climate. And that's putting it mildly. But this
Speaker 1: is what we are up against. Terrorism from white supremacy
Speaker 1: is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. That's
Speaker 1: what they say. Look at the way that the Democrat mindset,
Speaker 1: that Democrat left was always underplaying and defining away and
Speaker 1: trying to trying to minimize the threat of Islamic terrorism
Speaker 1: in America, which for years and years was the biggest,
Speaker 1: the biggest terrorist threat we face. It's obvious. They used
Speaker 1: to put up these graphics. I remember I was at
Speaker 1: CNN once they did this, the number of people killed
Speaker 1: by white supremacist terrorists versus the number of people killed
Speaker 1: by Islamic terrorists. And they would start after nine to eleven,
Speaker 1: so they wouldn't include nine to eleven. They would cut
Speaker 1: that out and say, see, look at this, and then
Speaker 1: I would have to sit there and say, okay, we'll
Speaker 1: hold on a second. How many Muslim Americans are there
Speaker 1: in this country. Let's it's roughly it's roughly five to
Speaker 1: ten million, something like that. It's two or three percent
Speaker 1: of the population. Maybe along those lines. How many white
Speaker 1: males are there in America It's a very large chunk
Speaker 1: of the population by comparison, or just how many white
Speaker 1: people or in America it's it's still a majority of
Speaker 1: the country. So now you're talking about over one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty million people instead of a few million. So
Speaker 1: when when one group I used to have to do
Speaker 1: this analysis, I would argue with people at see ANN
Speaker 1: because they would say, well, the threat for years, even
Speaker 1: when isis was doing mass casualty attacks even when we
Speaker 1: were we were using a multi billion dollar anti terrorism
Speaker 1: security apparatus Post nine to eleven to deal almost exclusively
Speaker 1: if jee hottest terrorism perhaps a better way of describing
Speaker 1: a better term for it, gee hottest terrorism. And when
Speaker 1: you're talking about roughly one percent of the US population
Speaker 1: that was responsible for being a community from which the
Speaker 1: largest percentage of terrorism came from at that at that
Speaker 1: period in time, right ices, So when you look at
Speaker 1: the proportionality of this, comparing it to to you know,
Speaker 1: right wing white America, well you're you're comparing something that
Speaker 1: is all automatically a much a smaller percentage of the population,
Speaker 1: much smaller group of the population comprising a much larger
Speaker 1: percentage of the terrorist threat. That that was the debate
Speaker 1: during the War on Terror years that we'd have to
Speaker 1: go through. And now I look at this and I say, Okay,
Speaker 1: white supremacist terrorism, what really is? What really is the
Speaker 1: threat are they so concerned with Are they trying to
Speaker 1: stop someone from let's say, the the Charleston church shooter,
Speaker 1: that guy that that was a white supremacist terrorist. That's
Speaker 1: that's exactly what we're talking about. Here they're going to
Speaker 1: stop that. Is that the the focus of the federal
Speaker 1: government or is it on the January sixth Commission and
Speaker 1: just running around and calling everybody white supremacist, anybody who
Speaker 1: supported Donald Trump, anybody who's a Republicid who had questions
Speaker 1: about the election, or who you know, pushed against fought
Speaker 1: against COVID lockdown's you know, last night I saw on
Speaker 1: Tucker's show. This is just a side note, but I
Speaker 1: saw on Tucker's show you had the numbers, the statistics
Speaker 1: for vaccine hesitancy, and we have all the major media networks.
Speaker 1: They're saying it's a it's a right wing male, white
Speaker 1: male phenomenon to not get vaccinated, when sure enough, the
Speaker 1: BYPOC community in this country comprises what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Latinos and African Americans have the lowest vaccination rate still.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you go, you see on TV all you
Speaker 1: hear about is though, you know, the white male Republicans
Speaker 1: who won't get vaccinate it because these these are narratives,
Speaker 1: stories that are not true, that make people who believe
Speaker 1: certain things feel better about themselves and their beliefs. That's
Speaker 1: what democrats, that's what the left needs to hear, and
Speaker 1: so now it's all about, you know, white supremacy, and
Speaker 1: everyone's a white supremacist running around. This is what the
Speaker 1: left says. Remember, Joe Biden is supposed to be the
Speaker 1: great fighter against white supremacy all of a sudden. Really
Speaker 1: he's a rich, old white guy who does whatever advances
Speaker 1: his interest. But I'm sure he's deeply concerned about communities
Speaker 1: of color. This is the whole This is the whole storyline.
Speaker 1: This is what they do, and we hear about this
Speaker 1: all the time. But they also talk about the existential
Speaker 1: threat of climate change. These people are nuts. No normal
Speaker 1: well adjusted American is walking around worried about the existential
Speaker 1: threat of climate change or worried about the threat of
Speaker 1: white supremacist terrorism or another insurrection against the government. But
Speaker 1: these are constants in the way the Democrat Party talks
Speaker 1: about life in America today. There's an obsession with race,
Speaker 1: and really with creating racial discord among Democrats and exploiting
Speaker 1: it for their own purposes. Remember, if the black community
Speaker 1: did not vote over ninety Democrat, they wouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to win presidential election. So the stakes here are very high.
Speaker 1: They'll say whatever they have to say the Democrat apparatus,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden his administration. They'll say whatever they have to
Speaker 1: say for power, because that is the motivating principle. Everything
Speaker 1: else is just window dressing. And the data shows young
Speaker 1: black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the
Speaker 1: chance as white entrepreneurs are. But they don't have lawyers.
Speaker 1: They don't have they don't have accountants, but they have
Speaker 1: great ideas. Does anyone doubt this whole nation be better
Speaker 1: off from the investments those people making. I promise you
Speaker 1: that's why I set up a National Small Business Administration
Speaker 1: that's much broader, because they're going to get those loans.
Speaker 1: They don't have lawyers, they don't have accountants, Biden says
Speaker 1: of black entrepreneurs. That's not true. So I just why
Speaker 1: is it okay that Joe Biden can say something so
Speaker 1: demonstrably and obviously false on this issue and the media
Speaker 1: just goes along with it. It's just not accurate at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's obviously not accurate. There's no debate about this.
Speaker 1: There are plenty of black entrepreneurs who have access to
Speaker 1: and use lawyers and accountants, and very good ones at that.
Speaker 1: So what is Biden really saying it's just blather, it's
Speaker 1: just handering, it's pandering from an old, out of touch
Speaker 1: white guy. The Democrat Party is propping up like its
Speaker 1: weekend at Bernie's presidency. That's what's going on. But you
Speaker 1: won't ever hear that from the media. Why well, because
Speaker 1: they understand, they know what the game is here, they
Speaker 1: understand what's really going on. In fact, if you're wondering,
Speaker 1: I mean Barack Obama came out and said it straight
Speaker 1: up recently that Joe Biden, mister moderate, amtrack Joe from Scranton,
Speaker 1: his purpose is to finish the job. As Obama says
Speaker 1: that the Obama administration started or got going for eight years,
Speaker 1: that this really is Joe Biden is the third term
Speaker 1: of Obama, just without Obama actually living in the White House.
Speaker 1: Here's the former president Obama sanging himself play eleven. And
Speaker 1: I think that what we're seeing now as Joe Biden
Speaker 1: and the administration are essentially finishing the job. And I
Speaker 1: think it'll be an interesting test. Ninety percent of the
Speaker 1: folks who were there were there in my administration. They
Speaker 1: are continuing and building on the policies we talked about
Speaker 1: whether it's affordable character our climate change agenda and Paris
Speaker 1: Piece Accords and figuring out how do we improve the
Speaker 1: ladders to mobility through things like community colleges. And if,
Speaker 1: as I think they will be, they're successful over the
Speaker 1: next four years, I think that will have an impact.
Speaker 1: A classic Obama ism too here. You know, if they're successful,
Speaker 1: that will have an impact. Oh my gosh, it's so brilliant.
Speaker 1: Look what you litto. If they win the game, they
Speaker 1: will probably be victorious. I mean, oh my gosh. Obama's
Speaker 1: a genius. It's amazing. I know this is what we
Speaker 1: always hear. But what he says about how many people
Speaker 1: this is just the Obama administration without Obama. That's what
Speaker 1: you've got. That's what you've got here with this Democrat
Speaker 1: Democrat apparatus. That's why I refer to it as an apparatus.
Speaker 1: It's really not a job about Joe Biden. It's about
Speaker 1: the people who are around him. It's about those who
Speaker 1: are running these federal agencies and and pushing the agenda
Speaker 1: of this white House bed behind closed doors. Also on
Speaker 1: this point about systemic racism, and remember, you know, the
Speaker 1: white supremacist terrorism is just the the worst manifestation of
Speaker 1: the systemic racism that we are to believe is has
Speaker 1: infected every aspect of American society. Is everywhere you eat,
Speaker 1: every institution, every agency of government. There's there's systemic racism
Speaker 1: everywhere where is? Where is it? How is it? What?
Speaker 1: How do we deal with it all? Don't don't ask
Speaker 1: any questions, just shut up and listen to the diversity
Speaker 1: and inclusion lecture that's America today. Here's an Ebraham Kendy.
Speaker 1: Want to find a racism expert. This guy is supposed
Speaker 1: to be one of the great experts on racism. It's
Speaker 1: made a whole career out of it. Here's what it
Speaker 1: sounds like when he tries to explain at a conference
Speaker 1: what racism is. Play three. You talked about the importance
Speaker 1: of defining racism. But unless I missed it, which is possible,
Speaker 1: I didn't hear your personal definition. Is there is there
Speaker 1: one that you would offer us, like, how do you
Speaker 1: define racism? Sure? So racism. I would define it as
Speaker 1: a collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity
Speaker 1: that are substantiated by racist ideas. Sure, a collection of
Speaker 1: racist policies that lead to racial inequity. That are substantiated
Speaker 1: by racist ideas, and anti racism is pretty simple using
Speaker 1: the same terms. Anti racism is a collection of anti
Speaker 1: racist policies leading to racial anybody want to take guests
Speaker 1: equity that are substantiated by anti racist ideas. Ah, so
Speaker 1: you understand that the definition is it's whatever he says
Speaker 1: it is, because all those other terms, well, what does
Speaker 1: that mean. What's a racist policy, what's racial equity, What's
Speaker 1: what's a you know, just racial outcome. It's all subject
Speaker 1: to not just interpretation, to the whims of the individuals,
Speaker 1: the high priests of the critical race theory religion, if
Speaker 1: you will, they get to determine what this really means
Speaker 1: in practice. And that's the whole point. This is about power.
Speaker 1: What is what is a standard definition of racism, one
Speaker 1: that people can understand and people could use to guide
Speaker 1: their own actions in their own lives. Racism is thinking
Speaker 1: about or treating people differently, good or bad, because of
Speaker 1: their race. It is immoral to make distinctions based upon
Speaker 1: skin color. It is immoral to have different legal or
Speaker 1: personal treatment of an individual because of their of the
Speaker 1: pigment in their skin. It's immoral, it's wrong. That's a
Speaker 1: definition of racism that also can be meaningful to people
Speaker 1: in terms of how to guide their own actions and
Speaker 1: how to act in their lives. What Ibraham Kennedy gave
Speaker 1: you is do what I say, or else you're a racist.
Speaker 1: Support the policies I want, or else you're a racist,
Speaker 1: and thus the whole game is given away. We're a
Speaker 1: host of a three hour show, Meeka and I about politics.
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's not good for this country to
Speaker 1: be talking about politics twenty four hours. Say that's not
Speaker 1: who we are fighting about it. How are you even
Speaker 1: talking about politics obsessing about politics? People looking at MSNBC
Speaker 1: or Fox twenty four hours today or CNN twenty four
Speaker 1: hours a day. I feel like, you know, then to
Speaker 1: Ferris Bueller, what are you still doing it? Go out?
Speaker 1: Like do something? Get out? You know? I tell you
Speaker 1: sometimes even Morning Joe has something worthwhile to say. And
Speaker 1: I will admit that to you. Now, no one's watching
Speaker 1: anything twenty four hours a day. I know that's intentional exaggeration.
Speaker 1: I'm not quibbling with that, but I'm just saying, obviously
Speaker 1: that's the case. But I think that it is an
Speaker 1: important reminder here because we've gone through a period of
Speaker 1: time where we have been cut off from actual human contact,
Speaker 1: where we've been consuming I think, so much more information
Speaker 1: media than at any other time, and have more options
Speaker 1: in the consumption of information media. You know, pick the
Speaker 1: pick who you're going to give your time to, and
Speaker 1: guard your time. One of the most important lessons we
Speaker 1: all learn, I think as we get older, is how
Speaker 1: how necessary it is to protect your time and not
Speaker 1: to I mean, I have some things that I always
Speaker 1: say to myself and I tell to those who are
Speaker 1: close to me. Don't let the unimportant affect the important. Right.
Speaker 1: This is, you know, don't don't take a you know,
Speaker 1: a meeting with somebody who is going to make your
Speaker 1: boss think you're being disloyal for having that meeting just
Speaker 1: because you think you're going to be a nice guy
Speaker 1: by taking the meeting, right, you know, don't allow the
Speaker 1: unimportant to affect the important. But also that that's the
Speaker 1: thing that I often say, I think, and it's true
Speaker 1: in relationships. You know, don't take a phone call from
Speaker 1: your ex wife if it or from your ex husband
Speaker 1: if your your current husband is going to say, well,
Speaker 1: well why are you talking to that guy? You know,
Speaker 1: don't allow things like that to creep up in your life.
Speaker 1: It's very easy to do so. And not with that,
Speaker 1: with with having good intentions too. Oh, I just needed
Speaker 1: to I didn't want someone to feel like I was
Speaker 1: being rude. I can't tell you how many times in
Speaker 1: my life I just I made a decision because I
Speaker 1: didn't want to be rude, and then I ended up
Speaker 1: being more rude in a sense, we're more problematic, created
Speaker 1: an issue out of that desire to be polite not
Speaker 1: hurt someone's feelings. Okay, I'll you know, I'll hear them out,
Speaker 1: or i'll take this call, or i'll have this meeting
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. And then I have a
Speaker 1: problem later. You know, Then all of a sudden, I
Speaker 1: got an issue because I'm trying to be a You
Speaker 1: can try to be a good guy or gal and
Speaker 1: end up making mistakes that are much bigger than you anticipate.
Speaker 1: So you've got to remember. And that's why I have
Speaker 1: that rule, don't let the unimportant effect the important. And
Speaker 1: then another one is just learning, And this is I
Speaker 1: know I got off on a tangent there, but learning
Speaker 1: to protect your time. The one thing you can never
Speaker 1: get back is your time. The one thing that you
Speaker 1: cherish more certainly as you get older, as you have
Speaker 1: a more of a perspective on it is, how valuable
Speaker 1: your time is to you. And it's possible right now
Speaker 1: without even thinking about it. I think, more than in
Speaker 1: any period in human history, did just waste and waste
Speaker 1: and waste more time with all these these quick, fixed
Speaker 1: attention grabbers. They oh, you know, turn, here's another flashing light,
Speaker 1: here's another thing to click on, here's another Some of
Speaker 1: that is good, some of that is worthwhile. I work
Speaker 1: in news media. I think news and politics are important,
Speaker 1: but it's all within it's all within a context, it's
Speaker 1: all within a framework of you gotta make sure that
Speaker 1: you turn off. Don't you don't have a news channel
Speaker 1: in the background all day. I don't think that's a
Speaker 1: good idea. No matter what the news channel is, don't
Speaker 1: have it in the background all day. Maybe if you're
Speaker 1: at the office and you're in the workplace, that's one thing.
Speaker 1: But I mean when you're at home, get away from it.
Speaker 1: Shut it down, Shut it down, Think about your life.
Speaker 1: Think about who you are, what you're doing, your relationships
Speaker 1: that matter to you. You know, we've now finally, I think,
Speaker 1: as a nation we're realizing, Okay, COVID's over. Basically, it's
Speaker 1: never really over, right. It's like saying, well, you know,
Speaker 1: even after the Great Influenza pandemic of nineteen eighteen, there
Speaker 1: were still flus. There's still people that died from a flu,
Speaker 1: but the pandemic was over. The COVID pandemic is in
Speaker 1: this country over. There's still COVID and there's still people
Speaker 1: who will die from but it's it's not a pandemic anymore.
Speaker 1: And for some of us, we've been living pretty normal
Speaker 1: lives for a while. But for others, they're finally waking
Speaker 1: up to oh, now they have to make decisions and
Speaker 1: determinations about how they spend their time. Now there's actual
Speaker 1: human interaction that they're going to have to manage and
Speaker 1: deal with. And for some people, I think that's going
Speaker 1: to be a challenge. That's going to be an issue.
Speaker 1: It's a lot easier to maintain relationships with people when
Speaker 1: they're just in the superficial realm of digital communications, when
Speaker 1: you have to give somebody your presence and your attention,
Speaker 1: physical presence and actual attention, not multitasking eight people in
Speaker 1: different text messages at once and sending out four emails
Speaker 1: and all this that feels very different. So just remember
Speaker 1: that it is a precious thing when you This is
Speaker 1: why I always say it all of you, that you
Speaker 1: spend your time with me. You listen to this show.
Speaker 1: I understand that there's there's quite literally tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of podcasts you could listen to the Deal with Politics,
Speaker 1: and those are the ones that people have heard of.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's over a million podcast total in the
Speaker 1: Apple Store, just to give you a sense of it.
Speaker 1: But I know that if you're listening to me, you're
Speaker 1: you're making the choice not to listen to a lot
Speaker 1: of other shows. And so that's a precious thing because
Speaker 1: I don't I don't recommend spending four or eight or
Speaker 1: ten hours of your day in the news realm entity capacity,
Speaker 1: and I think that's become far too easy for us.
Speaker 1: And you can almost create an esc apeism of despair
Speaker 1: through news, which is not healthy psychologically. A lot of
Speaker 1: people in America around the world created an escapism of
Speaker 1: pandemic despair. Now, obviously they're not escaping the pandemic by
Speaker 1: doing this, No, the opposite. They immersed themselves emotionally and psychologically,
Speaker 1: so deeply in it that they block out. You know,
Speaker 1: why haven't I talked to my brother in five years?
Speaker 1: You know why why haven't I visited you know, my
Speaker 1: elderly grandparents or parents in six months? Well during the pandemic.
Speaker 1: I know there are reasons for that, but you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying in general, Why why haven't I worked
Speaker 1: harder at my job? Why haven't I lost those twenty
Speaker 1: pounds I've been trying to lose for the last ten years.
Speaker 1: You know, you can start to use the distraction of
Speaker 1: the world collapsing all around you through news which is
Speaker 1: going to take a focus on the negative as a
Speaker 1: means of avoiding what really matters to you in your
Speaker 1: day to day life and what you can control. So yes,
Speaker 1: spend your time with me, listen to this show, and
Speaker 1: then you know, that's it. Maybe maybe one or two
Speaker 1: news shows if you want at night before you go
Speaker 1: to bed, and you know, a scan of a newspaper
Speaker 1: headlines if you will, But that's it. Don't get dragged
Speaker 1: into this, because I do believe that there is a
Speaker 1: real mental health crisis in this country that's being made
Speaker 1: worse by social media that's being made that has been
Speaker 1: made much worse by the lockdowns and then just by
Speaker 1: this Democrat machinery of constant hysteria out there about the
Speaker 1: insurrection and about all the white supremacist terrorists and the
Speaker 1: institutional racism and the killer cops and all the you know,
Speaker 1: all these just completely exaggerated threats to America, to Americans
Speaker 1: in their day to day lives. Um, it's it's easy
Speaker 1: to start to feel down about it. And I know
Speaker 1: for a lot of you who got used to having
Speaker 1: there was a certain look. It was fun when Trump
Speaker 1: was president. He was putting out entertaining tweets and he
Speaker 1: was engaging, and it was like never a dull moment
Speaker 1: in America with the Trump presidency going on. Now there's
Speaker 1: just something depressing about a Biden presidency. I mean a
Speaker 1: lot of things that are depressing about it, but we
Speaker 1: can all feel that, and in the media focus on
Speaker 1: the negative all the time, not about the Biden presidency.
Speaker 1: Of course, so we're depressed because Biden is the president,
Speaker 1: and then the media wants us to think they're all
Speaker 1: these other horrible things going on that we have to
Speaker 1: be so focused on that aren't caused by the Biden administration.
Speaker 1: This is just my appeal to all of you. Take
Speaker 1: time to relax your mind and be with people who
Speaker 1: matter and do it every day. Relax your mind, however,
Speaker 1: that is, get away from these things, get away from
Speaker 1: the fixed sation on left right, left right, and you
Speaker 1: know all the challenges of politics today, and then jump
Speaker 1: back into the fray with me rested, ready refreshed. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's about striking a balance here. So you know,
Speaker 1: I trash a lot of the nonsense that said on
Speaker 1: Morning Joe, and rightfully so. But I will tell you
Speaker 1: when it comes to establishing some kind of a balance
Speaker 1: in your life and keeping news in its proper place.
Speaker 1: News and information have a They have a piece of
Speaker 1: your day to day, but you control how much it
Speaker 1: is and you keep it there. You don't allow it
Speaker 1: to start creeping into you know, everything becomes political and
Speaker 1: everything is just a constant information loop. Because that that
Speaker 1: addiction to the despair of news can become its own
Speaker 1: escape mechanism from the things that are important in your life.
Speaker 1: Right as at some level of escapism can be good,
Speaker 1: but you don't want to escape into despair as a
Speaker 1: means of and this is what democrats do with things
Speaker 1: like climate change. Oh, it's a catastrophic It's going to
Speaker 1: end the world. It's existential. I guess I don't have
Speaker 1: to think about the fact that I'm a huge phony
Speaker 1: who pretends to care about, you know, the Black Lives
Speaker 1: Matter or movement, and really I just wanted to put
Speaker 1: something on my Instagram page. But oh, I don't have
Speaker 1: time to think about that, because the existential threat of
Speaker 1: climate change just keeps me up at night. You see
Speaker 1: what I mean. I don't have time to think about
Speaker 1: how poorly I treat my coworkers are employees, because I'm
Speaker 1: too busy being worried about about, you know, fighting systemic
Speaker 1: racism and police departments across the country by putting a
Speaker 1: few hashtags on my Twitter account, right, Yeah, you see
Speaker 1: how that works. Central to the Democrat ethos, some of
Speaker 1: these battles of what the left is doing and wokeis
Speaker 1: you know, it's effectively cultural Marxism, and so you can
Speaker 1: have theoretically a successful ethic economy, but if the under
Speaker 1: opinions of the culture are just being torn apart, I
Speaker 1: don't think that that's a society that's going to be very,
Speaker 1: very successful over the long term. It's important to engage
Speaker 1: in the culture War. It's not enough to just try
Speaker 1: to let everyone do their own thing and oh, people
Speaker 1: will just do what they do. This is, I think
Speaker 1: one of the failings of the modern conservative movement in America.
Speaker 1: Until recently, there was a large contingent of people who
Speaker 1: thought of themselves as conservatives, who believed that the way
Speaker 1: forward was to create a neutral space where nobody would
Speaker 1: really push for a set of ideas. They would just say,
Speaker 1: we'll leave it open to whatever ideas. We're not going
Speaker 1: to try to involve ourselves in school curriculum. We're just
Speaker 1: going to assume that the people involved in this will
Speaker 1: do so in good faith. And we're not going to
Speaker 1: try to put our stuff in front of kids. We're
Speaker 1: not going to try to get our classes and reading
Speaker 1: lists to be standardized in schools. Will allow the teachers
Speaker 1: and the teachers unions and the Department of Education and
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. That was the approach, and
Speaker 1: it has resulted in critical race theory taught in schools
Speaker 1: now all across the country. It has resulted in and
Speaker 1: increasingly obviously left wing and Marxist Democrat Party, and we
Speaker 1: finally see that they're willing to shut down our side
Speaker 1: through whatever means they can, because they're seeking not just
Speaker 1: political but cultural dominance too, And I think you could
Speaker 1: argue that the left in many ways is closer to
Speaker 1: cultural dominance than it has been in certainly my lifetime.
Speaker 1: You see what they've done online, with big tech, with
Speaker 1: entertainment media, with sports. I mean, if I had told
Speaker 1: you that you had to be a woke to be
Speaker 1: a professional athlete ten or fifteen years ago, you probably
Speaker 1: would have laughed. Now you don't. Sports are a great
Speaker 1: American pasttime. If I had told you fifteen years ago
Speaker 1: that you would have top athletes kneeling during the national
Speaker 1: anthem because of police violence in America, really that would
Speaker 1: have seemed outlandish to you. And yet this is where
Speaker 1: we are. And Governor de Santis understands that it's not
Speaker 1: enough to merely say that you oppose these things. You
Speaker 1: must take action where you can against critical race theory
Speaker 1: teaching in schools, against companies that are censoring conservative ideas,
Speaker 1: and doing everything that they can to make sure that
Speaker 1: only left wing perspectives are allowed in the public square.
Speaker 1: Otherwise we just lose and they keep gaining ground. The
Speaker 1: other side, the left reaches its pinnacle of power, and
Speaker 1: then it perhaps is too late. I mean, you can
Speaker 1: have societies where you have one party rule and there
Speaker 1: are even if there's a technical democracy, there is really
Speaker 1: only one political party that has its say, is able
Speaker 1: to do anything, and that's the Democrats plan. I believe
Speaker 1: in this country, that's what they're trying to do. That's
Speaker 1: where they're trying to take us to be the dominant
Speaker 1: political and cultural force and to be able to make
Speaker 1: sure that it really just turns into a discussion going
Speaker 1: forward of how woke, how left wing, how socialist the
Speaker 1: country will be, not whether those are even worthy ideas
Speaker 1: in the first place. I think quite clearly they are not.
Speaker 1: DeSantis has gotten a lot of attention because he signed
Speaker 1: this bill that bans biological males from playing in women's
Speaker 1: sports in colleges, and the NC doble A has responded
Speaker 1: in predictable fashion by saying, oh, well, we're not going
Speaker 1: to have our tournaments there. Well, DeSantis has learned the
Speaker 1: gnome lesson of don't bend the knee right away. Don't
Speaker 1: say you're a fighter and then bend the knee to
Speaker 1: woke corporations or nonprofits like the NC double A the
Speaker 1: whole point is you have to be willing to fight.
Speaker 1: It's not just rhetorical action that we want, it's real
Speaker 1: usage of power. And DeSantis has said he's going to
Speaker 1: protect women's sports in the state of Florida and not
Speaker 1: going to bend the knee to the NCAA or any
Speaker 1: other company or corporation for that matter, play ten. I
Speaker 1: think as these bills were going through various legislatures, I
Speaker 1: remember the NCAA put out a statement saying any state
Speaker 1: that enacts this, we're not going to hold events there.
Speaker 1: And so I called the speaker the house in Florida
Speaker 1: and I said, did you hear what they said? And
Speaker 1: he's like yeah. I said, we definitely got to get
Speaker 1: this done. It can't be cowed by these organizations, or
Speaker 1: particularly by woke corporations from doing the right thing. And
Speaker 1: so my view was throughout this whole time, we have
Speaker 1: to protect our girls. It is discriminatory to force them
Speaker 1: to compete against biological males. And so if the price
Speaker 1: of having a tournament is that I have to deny
Speaker 1: equal opportunity two hundreds of thousands of young girl and
Speaker 1: women athletes throughout Florida, I am much more willing to
Speaker 1: stand with the girls and to hell with these events,
Speaker 1: to hell with these NCABA events. He's absolutely right. I
Speaker 1: keep saying it. I don't know how it could be
Speaker 1: anybody other than RHN decantists from the Republican side in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, I think we'd be making a mistake
Speaker 1: from what I've seen right now, from what I've seen
Speaker 1: so far, I should say, you know, Trump is going
Speaker 1: to be almost eighty guys, Let's get real about this.
Speaker 1: You know that I think that Trump did some really
Speaker 1: good things, great messaging, built a movement, But we have
Speaker 1: to deal with the reality of where we are as
Speaker 1: a party, and I want what's best for not just
Speaker 1: the GOP, for America. The GOP is just a mechanism
Speaker 1: for getting the best outcome for my fellow Americans. It
Speaker 1: is a means to an end. I don't have some
Speaker 1: deep tribal allegiance to the Republican Party, it's not about that.
Speaker 1: But I don't have any deep allegiance to an individual
Speaker 1: politician either. They are also a means to an end,
Speaker 1: to govern as best as the American people can be.
Speaker 1: That's the point, that's the purpose. I think Rod de
Speaker 1: Santis is our best shot of that, and he's certainly
Speaker 1: showing us that he's not tired of winning. Not yet.
Speaker 1: Does it make sense that the same company who controls
Speaker 1: half of online retail also passively eavesdrops on your private
Speaker 1: conversations at home? What about the idea that a single

Speaker 1: be one of the dumbest ideas surfaced by anyone in
Speaker 1: our country. Yep I said it before. Walls don't work
Speaker 1: was the dumbest political slogan that the Democrats had ever
Speaker 1: come up with until until at least the modern era
Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party. And then they came up with
Speaker 1: defund the police. And you'll notice that now they're walking
Speaker 1: away from defund the police. Now they're talking about changing
Speaker 1: police budgets, reimagining policing. There was a brief period where
Speaker 1: they wouldn't even talk about abolishing police, but they realized
Speaker 1: that was just truly obviously insane, so then they moved.
Speaker 1: Then they scaled it back a little bit. Then they
Speaker 1: came up with, well we will if we're not going
Speaker 1: to be able to abolish police. If we're not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to even defund the police, now, let's talk
Speaker 1: about reimagining public safety. They're changing all these phrases as
Speaker 1: a means of trying, and they're changing around the language
Speaker 1: in order to avoid the accountability of this stupidity that
Speaker 1: they've engaged in for so long. That's what's actually happening here.
Speaker 1: The defund the police movement has resulted in catastrophic outcomes
Speaker 1: for communities all across the country. It was awful, was
Speaker 1: a terrible idea, and more people have been attacked, raped, murdered,
Speaker 1: shot as a result of the undermining of law enforcement
Speaker 1: coast to coast. That's just what the numbers show. So
Speaker 1: now where do they go. I want you to remember
Speaker 1: this now because you'll see this increasingly. And it's been
Speaker 1: a big issue as well, with the COVID lockdowners and
Speaker 1: the Fauciite consensus and all the rest. It's there's been
Speaker 1: this belief and I will tell you that I had
Speaker 1: it for a while that the Internet would create greater
Speaker 1: accountability because of the transparency around information that existed. It
Speaker 1: wasn't possible when I was growing up, you know, before
Speaker 1: the Internet was even really a thing. I had no
Speaker 1: realistic way unless I was going to go to a
Speaker 1: branch of the New York Public Library or something. I
Speaker 1: couldn't figure out what somebody had written in a newspaper
Speaker 1: six months ago, or what some official was quoted saying
Speaker 1: at a speech, you know, eight months ago. There was
Speaker 1: no way for me to find that out as a
Speaker 1: private citizen who just wanted to know what's going on.
Speaker 1: And so now the Internet comes along, and we have
Speaker 1: this information machine that can pull instantaneously literally millions of
Speaker 1: news articles and hits and everything together, and you can
Speaker 1: find out exactly what somebody said months ago, hours ago,
Speaker 1: one hundred you know, well, you know, if you can
Speaker 1: pull up the quote one hundred years ago, doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if it exists, you can find it. But we've been
Speaker 1: assuming up to this point that, particularly when we're talking
Speaker 1: about online storage of news articles and things that are
Speaker 1: part of the daily narrative creation machinery. We've been assuming
Speaker 1: that they would be honest and how they did all
Speaker 1: of this. And now what you're starting to see is
Speaker 1: the changing of online history to suit the present narrative.
Speaker 1: Now I don't mean censorship of the right and that's
Speaker 1: certainly a part of it that's been going on for
Speaker 1: a long time. No, I mean stealth editing of Washington
Speaker 1: Post headlines. I mean the alteration, yes Soviet style, the
Speaker 1: alteration of the official record, which is easier. It's harder
Speaker 1: to figure out when this happens online than it is
Speaker 1: even when you have people that have to go back
Speaker 1: and wipe things out in a book or eliminate all
Speaker 1: all the hard copies of it, because you're just changing
Speaker 1: around some zeros and ones in the back end of
Speaker 1: a website. Essentially, it's something you can just switch and
Speaker 1: they may add a updated story to it, right they
Speaker 1: will say, oh, we updated this, But unless you know
Speaker 1: very specifically what was done, that doesn't tell you very much.
Speaker 1: They're doing this about COVID lockdowns, and they're doing this
Speaker 1: about what the headlines were around the Wuhan leak theory.
Speaker 1: This is happening. This is really going on right now.
Speaker 1: And now I'm not saying that they are completely in
Speaker 1: the open about it. I'm not saying it's yet as
Speaker 1: egregious as it could be. But just remember Google is
Speaker 1: a left wing company, a left wing company, not even
Speaker 1: a left of center company, and they have the power
Speaker 1: to change public perception about an event based upon their
Speaker 1: search algorithm, which nobody really understands outside the company and
Speaker 1: for which there's essentially no transparency. You know, if you
Speaker 1: google what did Fauci say about masks in twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: For most people, whatever appears and whatever's the first two
Speaker 1: or three things that appear, is going to be their
Speaker 1: perception of what really what really was said, what really
Speaker 1: happened with Fauci. What we're going to find out more
Speaker 1: and more, I think, is that these tech giants are
Speaker 1: also going to play games with that. Why wouldn't they
Speaker 1: think about how they've been suppressing information during the pandemic
Speaker 1: along think about the means they've used up to this point.
Speaker 1: And this brings me back to the whole defund the
Speaker 1: police narrative. This is a stunningly, shockingly stupid political rallying cry,
Speaker 1: and there's going to be efforts to make it seem
Speaker 1: like this was not really what In an election year
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, Democrats were marching all over the country,
Speaker 1: engaging in riots, destroying property, attacking cops. There will be
Speaker 1: an effort to make it seem like that's not what happened.
Speaker 1: Might be somewhat subtle, but it can still be very effective.
Speaker 1: We are no longer in an era where the media
Speaker 1: even feels the need. They don't even feel the obligation
Speaker 1: to keep accurate records of what they themselves set at
Speaker 1: different points. There's a great piece I wanted to share
Speaker 1: some of this with you got me thinking about this today,
Speaker 1: The Media's Memory Whole Privilege, by Michael Brendan Doherty on
Speaker 1: National Review. Here's what he writes. In our digital future,
Speaker 1: individuals will be held accountable for all their sins, while
Speaker 1: the ruling institutions will correct their mistakes secretly with COVID.
Speaker 1: It's happened already, he says. With the Internet, there is
Speaker 1: no paper trail to burn. There is just code to update.
Speaker 1: And this has presented a kind of fate accomplea for
Speaker 1: journalistic ethics. The past used to be there in embarrassing paper,
Speaker 1: eventually turning yellow and converted into microfiche. Journalistic errors existed
Speaker 1: and were acknowledged. The disposability of the medium made the
Speaker 1: mistakes less embarrassing overall, and the archive ability of the
Speaker 1: medium made the public record easier to determine. But the
Speaker 1: Internet makes your past mistakes present, and that's unbearable. On
Speaker 1: February seventeenth, twenty twenty, the Washington Post ran a story headline,
Speaker 1: Tom Cotton keeps repeating a coronavirus conspiracy theory that was
Speaker 1: already debunked. Recently, the headline and some of the texts
Speaker 1: have been changed to say that the senator from Arkansas
Speaker 1: keeps repeating a coronavirus fringe theory that scientists have disputed.
Speaker 1: The memory of the original headline is half embedded in
Speaker 1: the uro which still has the word conspiracy. Basically, the
Speaker 1: incoming Biden administration has authorized an investigation into the lab
Speaker 1: league theory of COVID nineteen's origins. Facebook has subsequently stopped
Speaker 1: memory holding posts suggesting that COVID nineteen may have an
Speaker 1: origin in a lab and the Washington Post is saving
Speaker 1: the honor of our unchallengeable, unchallengeable ruler, which is not
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Isn't it amazing? You see what's happened here?
Speaker 1: You know it's through very good piece by Michael Brendan Doherty.
Speaker 1: They are not only elevating some narratives and storylines over
Speaker 1: others in the most flagrantly partisan and obviously political way.
Speaker 1: But now they're just going to start changing what was said,
Speaker 1: changing the headlines at way after the fact. This isn't
Speaker 1: a headline change meant to generate additional traffic the day
Speaker 1: of a piece. That happens. That's standard practice. This is
Speaker 1: oh gosh, that headline from a year ago is embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Let's just change it, say, with something else. In twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, Michael writes, our ruler is the illusion of
Speaker 1: an infallible expert consensus which is mediated to a supposedly
Speaker 1: raging and stupid American public by self described clever and
Speaker 1: public spirited journalists, and then hopefully, in their view, encoded
Speaker 1: into the algorithms of social media. Having learned his lesson
Speaker 1: about twenty sixteen the hard way by suffering the disapproval
Speaker 1: of Barack Obama and his own woke workforce, Mark Zuckerberg
Speaker 1: is now tasked with the work that Jesus put off
Speaker 1: until the general judgment at the end of the world,
Speaker 1: dividing us all into sheep and goats. We are in
Speaker 1: an era of unprecedented propaganda machinery, and one side has
Speaker 1: seized the commanding heights of those mechanisms, so much so
Speaker 1: that not only can they elevate what they want and
Speaker 1: suppress what they don't, but they can change our perception
Speaker 1: of communication reality itself by altering headlines, by doing things
Speaker 1: that you would think would be, on their face violations
Speaker 1: of journalistic ethics, but instead they justify as necessary as
Speaker 1: part of the hashtag resistance, necessary as a means of
Speaker 1: pushing back against the predations of Donald Trump. Whatever that
Speaker 1: means for their professional goals, whatever that means for what
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be doing every day, doesn't matter. Always
Speaker 1: told you what's goal number one. Pursue power, true for
Speaker 1: all democrats, not just journalists. Pursue power. Have it it,
Speaker 1: wield it, get it. Those are the goals what they
Speaker 1: have to do to get there. It's just a question
Speaker 1: figuring it out. Without qualified immunity, how do you get
Speaker 1: people to do law enforcement work. There's a bill that's
Speaker 1: past the House of Representatives that would eliminate qualified immunity,
Speaker 1: And for those of you who are not familiar with that,
Speaker 1: that means every police officer would be subject to being
Speaker 1: sued personally, which would mean that law enforcement in America
Speaker 1: would cease to be effective because you would have so
Speaker 1: many people that wouldn't want to do the job anymore,
Speaker 1: and you'd have so many cops who quit, so they
Speaker 1: would leave, or they just wouldn't join up in the
Speaker 1: first place. There must be activists in the Democrat Party
Speaker 1: who are smart enough to understand this, and in a
Speaker 1: sense that's almost more terrifying, because what it tells you
Speaker 1: is they don't care. This is a price. More murders, more,
Speaker 1: more burglaries, more rapes, more and more violent assaults. That's
Speaker 1: the price the Democrats are willing to pay in order
Speaker 1: to seem like they're addressing the concerns of the BLM
Speaker 1: movement and standing up for by BYPOC communities right, Black
Speaker 1: Indigenous people of color BYPOC new acronym I learned recently
Speaker 1: which I have to use now just a way. I
Speaker 1: don't forget it. But McConnell is right that qualified immunity
Speaker 1: without that police work becomes essentially an intolerable risk for
Speaker 1: most people. And it just goes to show you how
Speaker 1: absurd and how crazy the Democrats have really gotten. Oh
Speaker 1: on the I meant to get to this before Jason
Speaker 1: Chaffetz said this. I do think we're gonna reach racism
Speaker 1: hysteria fatigue at some point. I'm not I don't think
Speaker 1: we're there yet, but it's gonna grow. We're really sick,
Speaker 1: we should be really sick of getting constant lectures from
Speaker 1: Joe Biden about race relations. Play seven. I think we
Speaker 1: have a history, and not all of our history in
Speaker 1: the United States is a pretty one, and I'm not
Speaker 1: afraid of acknowledging that and learning about that. But to
Speaker 1: push it to the degree and the direction that the
Speaker 1: President is trying to do, I think is wrong. I
Speaker 1: look at today's immigration policies. I think people understand that
Speaker 1: we need to protect our borders. But when he doesn't,
Speaker 1: when he just allows this free flow of people into
Speaker 1: the country and gives them advantage over Americans, that again
Speaker 1: divides us. So I don't know exactly what his goal is.
Speaker 1: I think he's listening to the far radical left side
Speaker 1: of the equation who are asking for things that I
Speaker 1: just don't think are palatable. I think America is tired
Speaker 1: of being told that it's racist. I know I'm not racist.
Speaker 1: I know my family's not racist. I know most of
Speaker 1: my friends aren't racist, and if they were racist, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't hang out with that. So America is tired of that,
Speaker 1: create opportunities and allow people to thrive, and stop taking
Speaker 1: Americans money and then handing it out the way they
Speaker 1: see fit, and do it in an equal basis. If
Speaker 1: you keep telling people that we're divided, guess what we're
Speaker 1: going to be divided. That's not the vision of Martin
Speaker 1: Luther King. That wasn't the vision that I heard from
Speaker 1: other civic leaders. But I hear from Biden more than
Speaker 1: I hear anybody else. Is that because Biden doesn't understand
Speaker 1: what's happening, or is he getting exactly what he wants?
Speaker 1: Which is this division that Jason Chaffitz was talking about. There.
Speaker 1: That's what you have to remember. We no longer have
Speaker 1: two parties in this country that want the same things,
Speaker 1: but just want to use different approaches and have different
Speaker 1: views of the law in the Constitution to get there.
Speaker 1: We want, we want fundamentally different in many ways outcomes
Speaker 1: for American society from the Democrats want different outcomes insofar
Speaker 1: as we don't we don't want any discrimination on the
Speaker 1: basis of race, and we don't want any systems. We
Speaker 1: don't want any mechanisms in place for making determinations based
Speaker 1: upon skin color. We reject that out of hand. So
Speaker 1: this isn't's a a just a disagreement that you can say, well,
Speaker 1: it doesn't make that big a difference. It makes a
Speaker 1: huge difference. It makes a huge difference. You know, Kamala is.
Speaker 1: I just noted this at the top of the show,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to say, Kamala is backing away from
Speaker 1: her role as borders are, which is pretty incredible. You know,
Speaker 1: they just got rid of officially got rid of the
Speaker 1: remain in Mexico policy of the Trump administration. Anyone who
Speaker 1: understands how our border currently functions and what's going on
Speaker 1: there will tell you that not only is the situation
Speaker 1: they're out of control, but it's not going to get
Speaker 1: better because the things that the Democrats would have to
Speaker 1: do to make it better, the actions that Joe Bay
Speaker 1: and Gonna have to take to improve things are in
Speaker 1: line with what Trump was doing. And that is a
Speaker 1: concession that the Democrats are not willing to make. They'll
Speaker 1: never say that Trump was right on the border. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine this would this would completely melt their faces off, right.
Speaker 1: The Democrats will never admit this. They'll never say that
Speaker 1: that's what happened. But then what do they do, because
Speaker 1: the only way is to fix the crisis of the border.
Speaker 1: Are the ways the Trump administration took in the past, Well,
Speaker 1: you can just take the Kammal approach, which is moving
Speaker 1: on to something else, distancing herself from the fraught situation
Speaker 1: of the border. Is the CNN. That's the very gentle
Speaker 1: CNNA headline. Yeah, she doesn't want to be dealing with
Speaker 1: this because it's going to be a loss when all's
Speaker 1: said and done. She will not secure the border, she
Speaker 1: will not do what is necessary, and so if she
Speaker 1: was tasked with that, it becomes a major challenge. President
Speaker 1: brandishing torches hate crimes against Asian and Jewish Americans, reminders
Speaker 1: that white supremacism, white terror is the most lethal threat
Speaker 1: to our homeland today. What really should scare us all
Speaker 1: is that never in the modern era have we seen
Speaker 1: what should be relegated to the fringes. You know they're
Speaker 1: neo Nazis, you know they're white supremacists, but they've always
Speaker 1: been kept in the modern era on the fringes of society.
Speaker 1: Stay where you're supposed to be, in the shadows. You
Speaker 1: deserve nothing else. You have the right to speak, but
Speaker 1: what you say is not right, and we will not
Speaker 1: regard it as such. Abject bigotry. Now it is at
Speaker 1: worst embraced and at least minimized by an entire political party.
Speaker 1: I see, the Republican Party is all guilty, all tied
Speaker 1: in at some level, all at least minimizing, if not embracing,
Speaker 1: Neo Nazism and white supremacy. This is from a CNN
Speaker 1: anchor who is a moron who would be nowhere in
Speaker 1: life without his last name. But nonetheless, let's address this
Speaker 1: with my friend Kurt Schlichter. He is a senior columnist
Speaker 1: at townhall dot com, a lawyer, and a veteran of
Speaker 1: the United States Army. Kurt, great to have you as always,
Speaker 1: Oh great to be her back and of course, listening
Speaker 1: to the ato of the Cuomo family, he's smart, not
Speaker 1: dumb like everyone says. He's smart. Any wants respect. You
Speaker 1: know that. You know that he on video referred to
Speaker 1: being called Fredo as like an ethnic slur and instead
Speaker 1: of a funny movie reference about the fact that he's
Speaker 1: a buffoonish brother. Well, if it is an ethnic clur,
Speaker 1: so what I mean? Did he just doesn't His whole
Speaker 1: whole clip isn't his whole flip an ethnic slur. I mean,
Speaker 1: what are the rules black? I'm very confused. Now, I
Speaker 1: am less concerned with what the rules are than that
Speaker 1: there'll be one unset up. And he seems to think
Speaker 1: it's okay. He just did it. He accused an entire
Speaker 1: race of a certain crime, not differentiating between people, exaction,
Speaker 1: so forth, which you know in the real world is
Speaker 1: called racism. Um, So why would be wrong to call
Speaker 1: him fredo even if it was an ethnic sir? Is?
Speaker 1: Why is one right and one wrong? I'm very con well.
Speaker 1: I think it's also it's troubling that you see that
Speaker 1: Biden keeps returning to this. The clearly Democrats believe that
Speaker 1: the exaggeration of the threat of white supremacist terrorism and
Speaker 1: another insurrection, this is a central narrative for this president. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a central narrative here for the Democrats. And that
Speaker 1: should give everybody some some some real concern or who
Speaker 1: cares for the future of the country, because I mean,
Speaker 1: this is this is idiot slandering of everybody who's a conservative,
Speaker 1: everybody on the right, and it's intentional. And these are
Speaker 1: people that have shown a real authority. These are leftist
Speaker 1: Democrats who have shown a real authoritarian streak for the
Speaker 1: last fifteen months. Well you know what it is, Buck,
Speaker 1: is it short term thinking? Because they think, Wow, in
Speaker 1: this next election, I will be able to motivate this
Speaker 1: part of my base with these bizarre accusations. Now, you're right,
Speaker 1: this is troubling, especially to those of us who served
Speaker 1: in the Balkans because their ethnicity was everything. One of
Speaker 1: the greatest achievements of America was that the majority ethnic
Speaker 1: group did not think of itself as a cohesidethnic group,
Speaker 1: you know, white Americans, whatever that means. Because I think
Speaker 1: racial categories are generally stupid and don't reflect reality. I mean,
Speaker 1: what are my kids. My wife's Cuban, I'm German, Scottish?
Speaker 1: What are my kids? If you get past the premise
Speaker 1: that you should put people into categories, which I reject categorically,
Speaker 1: but well, yeah, whiteness is also a very broad and
Speaker 1: very sloppy category. I mean, as I've I've had to
Speaker 1: point out before on this show, if it's about skin color,
Speaker 1: and I mean explicitly skin color, then you've got people
Speaker 1: who come from Afghanistan who have blue eyes and red hair.
Speaker 1: You've got people from North Africa who are blue eyed
Speaker 1: and a blue eyed and blonde hair. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just absurd, it's stupid, and it's the kind of thing
Speaker 1: stupid people do. It's a kind of thing that are
Speaker 1: uneducated in lead and yeah they have our VA League degrees,
Speaker 1: but they are absolutely uneducated about the world. Like I said,
Speaker 1: the gless achievement, well grass achievements in the United States
Speaker 1: was that its major ethnic group cannot consider itself an
Speaker 1: ethnic group in the sense didn't identify and unify. So
Speaker 1: they're taking a position that would encourage those people to
Speaker 1: suddenly identify themselves by color and band together. That's insane,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's literal madness. But they think in the
Speaker 1: short term it'll work in the long term. The problem
Speaker 1: with our liberal lead buck is they believe the world
Speaker 1: is static. They believe, you know, if things aren't working
Speaker 1: out the way they are, they can change some rules
Speaker 1: and get the advantage of it while retaining the protection
Speaker 1: of the old rules. And that's the problem. As you
Speaker 1: know from your time working with military folks as a
Speaker 1: CIA officer, the enemy gets a vote, the other side
Speaker 1: does things. It doesn't remain static. It's not like a
Speaker 1: bunch of you know, most of America's going to go. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, they labeled me its terrorist. I guess I
Speaker 1: better shrug. I'm a surf. Doesn't w look like that?
Speaker 1: How could they even imagine it? Instead, the terrible logic
Speaker 1: of them is a racial conflict, racial balkanization, and that
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, I served in Kosovo. I
Speaker 1: know what that looks like at the bottom of the
Speaker 1: slippery slope. These people are not just stupid, they're dangerous.
Speaker 1: We're speaking of Kurt Schlichterer, senior columnist at townhall dot
Speaker 1: com and a military veteran, And Kurt, you know, the
Speaker 1: the Biden administration really likes to push this narrative whenever
Speaker 1: they get the opportunity, and I just I have to
Speaker 1: wonder at what point it becomes too obvious, too opportunistic
Speaker 1: when you see that Joe Biden is a rich, old
Speaker 1: white millionaire. Okay, this is this is a guy. He's
Speaker 1: from Delaware. This guy does not care about the struggle
Speaker 1: of BYPOC communities. This guy is not in hutch in
Speaker 1: some way with that doesn't have some deep understanding of racism.
Speaker 1: If anything, you look back at his at his history
Speaker 1: and politics. He's got some sketchy associations with Democrats, who,
Speaker 1: as we know, include Democrats like Senator Robert Byrd formerly
Speaker 1: of the KKK, and and others who always get a
Speaker 1: pass for their you know, their racial or racist transgressions.
Speaker 1: I mean Bidens as the great hero of of wokeness
Speaker 1: and social justice. I mean, this is this is appallingly
Speaker 1: flimsy and stupid, but yet it's a central narrative of
Speaker 1: this presidency. It is it's cheap and lazy, and they
Speaker 1: think it's going to help them in the short term,
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's simply going to uh reinforce vision
Speaker 1: and it's not going to divide necessarily the way they
Speaker 1: want it to. You know, you let this genie of
Speaker 1: the bottle and you know he's going to grant wishes,
Speaker 1: but they might not be yours. Speaking to Kurt Schlick
Speaker 1: there here senior commists at townhall dot com and Kurt
Speaker 1: the the talk of of insurrection still continues on here.
Speaker 1: We have, finally, in recent weeks, the National Guard presence
Speaker 1: at Capitol Hill ended, which was the whole thing was
Speaker 1: so absurd and stupid. You have people who, meaning the
Speaker 1: the deployment of thousands of soldiers. I mean, DC is
Speaker 1: an armed camp. Congress was back in session hours after
Speaker 1: the so called insurrection. Everything you know, worked out in
Speaker 1: the end, you know, with people getting arrested who broke
Speaker 1: the law, people being now they're being held in solitary
Speaker 1: confinement actually well under the threat of another insurrection, And
Speaker 1: I just it feels like this is the Russia collusion
Speaker 1: crazy in in just a different context. Now, a giant
Speaker 1: lie that's used as a huge club to bludgeon the
Speaker 1: Democrats political opponents, and the whole corporate media apparatus is
Speaker 1: on board for it. Yes, it was a riot, it
Speaker 1: was bad, it was stupid. It wasn't an attempt to
Speaker 1: overthrow the United States government that the Republican Party was
Speaker 1: backing and wanted to actually happen. Oh, look, only idiots
Speaker 1: believe that. Most normal people are like, yeah, I've seen
Speaker 1: I've seen rowdy or frat parties. But the problem that
Speaker 1: you touched on is the dual justice issue. These guys
Speaker 1: are being persecuted. But you know, you attack a courthouse
Speaker 1: in Portland for month after month after month, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then you get your charges dismiss charges dropped. You can't
Speaker 1: have two systems of justice. You can't have two sets
Speaker 1: of rules, which is why I think it's so important
Speaker 1: the President, to Santis or whoever comes in as a
Speaker 1: Republican pardon every single one of these people who was arrested,
Speaker 1: not because they didn't do some think stupid I think
Speaker 1: some of them did some stupid stuff, but because we
Speaker 1: cannot allow a dual system of justice, they would be
Speaker 1: pardoned so that the you know, the their consequences matched
Speaker 1: matched those of the Democrats. Friends, I think I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna put an idea out to you, Kurt. I think
Speaker 1: that emotional instability and hysteria are central characteristics, foundational characteristics
Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party in America today. What do you think?
Speaker 1: I think. I think you're correct, Buck. I write about
Speaker 1: this tomorrow in my town hall column. Um. Look, these
Speaker 1: are primarily pampered Ivy league folks. They're not like you
Speaker 1: and me. They never deployed, they've never had done anything
Speaker 1: difficult there, I mean, their their life path is. You know,
Speaker 1: I was in college, I was at grad school that
Speaker 1: I wrote for Box and now I write for the
Speaker 1: Washington Post. Okay, hardly you know these guys are not
Speaker 1: tempered on the forge of life and death challenges. Instead,
Speaker 1: they've had a very easy life but normal. But people
Speaker 1: naturally Buck want to challenge. They seek a dragon to slay.
Speaker 1: These guys have discovered a toothless dragon, and they're pretending
Speaker 1: they're Saint George. I thought the insurrection, ah, I was
Speaker 1: general resistance. Never have so many risks so little, with
Speaker 1: so much self aggrandizement. I think that also ties into
Speaker 1: why they've taken so much to the extreme fauciite measures,
Speaker 1: because it was it's it's a mark of they think selflessness,
Speaker 1: intelligence and bravery to triple mask even after you're vaccinated,
Speaker 1: going for a bike ride alone in park slope like
Speaker 1: they think that makes them a good brave person. They
Speaker 1: actually have taken bravery and defined it an entirely different direction.
Speaker 1: These you know, we stirred overseas other people who have
Speaker 1: done other hard, difficult things. People have been cops or
Speaker 1: over but we've been you know, for for a lot
Speaker 1: of these people, tough men have created a paradise where
Speaker 1: they face no real challenges. This is their big challenge,
Speaker 1: this is their woodstock. There are people Buck who are
Speaker 1: going to tell their grandchildren expecting to be uh, you know,
Speaker 1: expecting to be held in awe that they survived the
Speaker 1: Great Pandemic of twenty twenty. This is the pinnacle for
Speaker 1: a lot of these people, and they want to milk
Speaker 1: it because, as you know, when you do something like this,
Speaker 1: when you like go back to deploy, there's a certain
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't know if it's excitement, but
Speaker 1: you feel alive in a way you don't at other times. Right,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit, Yeah, there's a little edge of fear.
Speaker 1: You're you're watching history happen. It's exciting. You don't know
Speaker 1: what's gonna what's gonna go down next. They've never had that.
Speaker 1: This is it for them, this is you know, they're there.
Speaker 1: You know, you know there are guys who dropped into
Speaker 1: Normandy and you know lived lives after, but you know
Speaker 1: that moment in Normandy is something that they'll always think about.
Speaker 1: For these people, this is what they'll think about it. God,
Speaker 1: that's pathetic. Kurchlik Deret. Look for his column tomorrow on
Speaker 1: townhall dot com. Kurt, good to have you man, talk
Speaker 1: to you soon. Thanks for having me. Ultimately, we cannot
Speaker 1: just sit and negotiate forever. We have to get to
Speaker 1: an end. I was just looking at some stats this morning, John.
Speaker 1: I mean, China invests ten times as much in infrastructure
Speaker 1: that the United States does. That's just not tenable for
Speaker 1: us if we want to lead. China is doing such
Speaker 1: a better job with their economy. Huh. Jennifer Granholm gave
Speaker 1: me a break, get out of here. Nonsense. But they've
Speaker 1: gone from negotiate to do what we want or else right,
Speaker 1: negotiate or there's gonna be there's gonna be just a
Speaker 1: steamrolling you. So I gotta tell you it's it's not
Speaker 1: surprising at all that this Democrat party thinks that it
Speaker 1: has It has no reason to. It doesn't have to
Speaker 1: respect the other side. It just expects the other side
Speaker 1: to comply because there's an emotional, babyish, tantrum based psychology
Speaker 1: at the heart of the modern Democrat party. Do it
Speaker 1: because I said so, Do it because I want you
Speaker 1: to do it. That's all that matters. It's not about
Speaker 1: a reason. It's not about making a case that people
Speaker 1: can say, oh, wow, you know what you're You're right
Speaker 1: something else. I wanted to get to you today. That
Speaker 1: JBS my actual initials here. It's the biggest meat supplier
Speaker 1: to America in the world, and there's been a meat
Speaker 1: hack attack. Here we go see it in some shopper
Speaker 1: may want to brace themselves for yet another possible supply crunch,
Speaker 1: this time with meat. Major beef and pork producer JB
Speaker 1: USA suffered a cyber attack last weekend, prompting reported shutdowns
Speaker 1: at company plants in North America and Australia. The White
Speaker 1: House has said the ransomware attack was likely carried out
Speaker 1: by a Russia based criminal organization and that it is
Speaker 1: dealing with the Russian government on the matter. The Australian
Speaker 1: government has said that US law enforcement is taking the
Speaker 1: lead on investigating the attack. So far, some authorities and
Speaker 1: trade groups have assured operations will be back to normal
Speaker 1: as soon as possible, aline concerns of a major disruption,
Speaker 1: but experts warn it could depend on how quickly the
Speaker 1: issue is taken care of. You know, Russia. I'm somebody
Speaker 1: that tries to try to calm everybody down after all
Speaker 1: the Russia hysteria. But you know, if Russia messes with
Speaker 1: our meat supply, when you start cutting me off from
Speaker 1: a Hamburgers and ma tee bone steaks, I get upset
Speaker 1: about things. So I'm telling you Russia, there there's some
Speaker 1: stuff you don't want to mess with. And when you
Speaker 1: get between an American and his pound of bacon or
Speaker 1: his you know, filet mignon, if you want to go fancy,
Speaker 1: you're playing with fire. But you'll see more of this
Speaker 1: hackers on foreign soil who demand ransom money from companies
Speaker 1: once they get into their systems and places are going
Speaker 1: to pay it. That's the part of this that doesn't
Speaker 1: get the focus in the media that maybe it needs
Speaker 1: to severyone understands that this stuff, these tactics work very
Speaker 1: well for these hackers, but endangering our meat supply, that's
Speaker 1: that's something that just goes too far for me. What
Speaker 1: am I gonna do. I'm gonna eat Tofu all day
Speaker 1: and eat saitan. You know, all these meat, these burger
Speaker 1: replacements that are out there, none of them, none of
Speaker 1: them really taste anything like a burger. A Burgher's way better.
Speaker 1: I don't know why we have to pretend there's all
Speaker 1: these companies that get funded, they get all this money
Speaker 1: to come up with you know, oh, we've replaced meat. No,
Speaker 1: you have not. There's no such thing as a real
Speaker 1: meat replacement. There's just plant stuff that's made to vaguely
Speaker 1: resemble some form of meat product. But meat, as we
Speaker 1: all know, is superior. So I'm just hoping we don't
Speaker 1: get a big I hope some of you you know
Speaker 1: we have a fantastic meat sponsor if you if you
Speaker 1: got in on that, you're good to go. But you
Speaker 1: know you don't want to wait on these things. So
Speaker 1: when I when I tell you to check out our
Speaker 1: our meat sponsor here on the show and get some
Speaker 1: moinks into your home, now you know I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get you prepared. Friends. Doctor Fauci is going to be
Speaker 1: getting a paycheck, a big one, friends, for his book
Speaker 1: on truth and handling this health crisis. What's the title,
Speaker 1: you're expect The Unexpected Ten Lessons on Truth, Service and
Speaker 1: the Way Forward. This is going to be released in November.
Speaker 1: It's only eighty pages long. And Fauci it's not clear
Speaker 1: yet if he's going to keep or donate the proceeds.
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a lot of pressure on
Speaker 1: this guy to donate. Now, I don't know if he
Speaker 1: will or not. But why would Fauci be writing a
Speaker 1: book meant to profit personally? As a result of what's
Speaker 1: gone on during this pandemic. What is his book really
Speaker 1: going to be about? You have to wonder unless it's
Speaker 1: eighty pages of I'm sorry, I was wrong over and
Speaker 1: over again, and I kept being wrong even more. And
Speaker 1: then right when you thought, hold on a second, could
Speaker 1: he be wrong anymore? Then yes, yes, in fact, it
Speaker 1: would come forward that I was wrong again. And it's
Speaker 1: almost amazing the amount of wrongness that I've been able
Speaker 1: to pull together. Expect the unexpected, they call it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what is expected here that you have a
Speaker 1: Democrat bureaucrat with doctor Anthony Fauci who is finding yet
Speaker 1: another way to put himself personally at the center of
Speaker 1: this and seemingly benefit from it. Why should any of
Speaker 1: us see this as anything other than doctor Fauci building
Speaker 1: his own brand, because you know this guy is gonna
Speaker 1: get a CNN gig. You know he's gonna be on MSNBC.
Speaker 1: What he's gonna stick around after this? You think this
Speaker 1: guy wants to go back to doing public health announcements
Speaker 1: during flu season. Wash your hands, you gotta wear a
Speaker 1: well wearing a master in flu season. We'll see how
Speaker 1: much of that they push on us. But you gotta
Speaker 1: wear a mask, you gotta wash your hands, you got
Speaker 1: a social distance. No, he doesn't want to go back
Speaker 1: to that. He's gotten a taste of being famous, he's
Speaker 1: gotten a taste of being really important. He's not gonna
Speaker 1: want to give that up. There's no part of doctor
Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci that's going to say. You know what, I
Speaker 1: think that being the most powerful unelected official in America
Speaker 1: is something that I don't ever want to be repeated
Speaker 1: again for anybody else. So I'm going to tell the
Speaker 1: truth about how I really had too much authority and
Speaker 1: was able to promote far too many policies under the
Speaker 1: guise of guidance. Remember that's what they toways say. You know,
Speaker 1: we follow we got measures, and we got to stop
Speaker 1: the droplets with the masks, and we got the public
Speaker 1: health guidance and all this stuff that he was saying.
Speaker 1: All along. The Democrats allied with Fauci to create an
Speaker 1: authoritarian health policy super state and to defeat Donald Trump
Speaker 1: in the mid term. And as I always tell you,
Speaker 1: this is where Democrats excel. They take care of their own.
Speaker 1: This is where the Democrat Party really shows you why
Speaker 1: they're able to despite being bad at governance, win people
Speaker 1: over to their side to vote in, to vote Democrat
Speaker 1: in elections. It's because, for one thing, if you want
Speaker 1: to be in with the cool kids, if you want
Speaker 1: to be well taken care of by the elites, you
Speaker 1: want that Netflix advisory deal, that board seat on a
Speaker 1: Barry Diller company, you know from IAC. You want to
Speaker 1: be somebody who gets invited to the really fancy parties,
Speaker 1: You got to be a Democrat. You want to be
Speaker 1: somebody who gets the top publishing house to push your
Speaker 1: crap book, like Andrew Cuomo, the governor New York. Well,
Speaker 1: you better be a Democrat. If you're a Republican, you
Speaker 1: could write the formula for turning coal into gold. You know,
Speaker 1: Cole price is going up. A lot of things gone
Speaker 1: on these days, but you could have the you know,
Speaker 1: the meaning of life written on a piece of paper,
Speaker 1: and a lot of publishing houses wouldn't want to touch
Speaker 1: it because they are partisan entities. And then there's also
Speaker 1: what Faucci has shown us here. Sure there's the book
Speaker 1: deal part of this, but there's also what he has
Speaker 1: taught us about the nature of the administrative state. And
Speaker 1: this has been a concern of mine for a long time.
Speaker 1: There is in this country a fourth branch of government,
Speaker 1: and it is the bureaucracy. I'm quite familiar with it
Speaker 1: because I used to work for it in a sense
Speaker 1: at the CIA. Now, I will tell you that the
Speaker 1: Central Intelligence Agency is among federal bureaucracies, the most academically elite.
Speaker 1: And it's relatively speaking, and I know some of you're
Speaker 1: gonna go fall and you should, as I say this,
Speaker 1: relatively lean and mean. Now, that's not to say there's
Speaker 1: not a tremendou amount of waste and redundancy and absurdity.
Speaker 1: Of course there is. But if you want to compare
Speaker 1: the CIA to the Department of Education, if you wanted
Speaker 1: to compare you know, the CIA to Health and Human Services.
Speaker 1: I mean, you start looking at some of the federal
Speaker 1: government agencies and you realize, oh my gosh, not only
Speaker 1: are we spending enormous amounts of the public's money, and
Speaker 1: remember time is money. Right when the government is taking
Speaker 1: more from you in the form of taxation and bonding
Speaker 1: your children to these debts in the future, they're taking
Speaker 1: your productive time from you, and they're taking your possessions
Speaker 1: in a sense, from you and giving it to other people.
Speaker 1: Which is why, yes, limited taxation is essential. It's interesting.
Speaker 1: You know, if you go back you read, as I
Speaker 1: like to a lot of American history, You go through
Speaker 1: all these periods and you go, wait a second, what's
Speaker 1: wh Why were tariff houses so expensive? Why were tariffs
Speaker 1: so important? Oh? Because that's how we funded the entire
Speaker 1: federal government until the twentieth century. Right. You know they
Speaker 1: don't teach kids that in school. Wait a minute, You
Speaker 1: mean that you could have been an American in the
Speaker 1: eighteen eighties and not paid a dollar of income tax
Speaker 1: because there was no income tax. Yes. Yes, but the
Speaker 1: federal bureaucracy is more powerful than it has ever been,
Speaker 1: and it's something that we have just begun to recognize
Speaker 1: as the threat to our freedoms and liberties that it
Speaker 1: really is. I mean, it was fauchiites working for the
Speaker 1: NIH and the CDC who were pretending, I mean, think
Speaker 1: about the game they played. Oh, we're just we're just
Speaker 1: giving you guidance. It wasn't guidance. They were laws in effect.
Speaker 1: Because the Democrats that were in power, and a lot
Speaker 1: of Republicans too, said I'll do whatever the CDC tells
Speaker 1: me to and they knew that so they had the
Speaker 1: power of law without actually getting elected to anything. And
Speaker 1: that's troubling. There was an outsourcing here of the accountability
Speaker 1: mechanism of our system to the federal bureaucracy during the pandemic,
Speaker 1: and the results were disastrous. The results were awful. I mean,
Speaker 1: how can anyone look at what happened in this country
Speaker 1: with over half a million dead and who knows what
Speaker 1: the total number of infections is. As I've told you,
Speaker 1: I believe that close to half the country was at
Speaker 1: some point exposed to in infected with COVID nineteen. And
Speaker 1: I can show you rock and roll fellow patriots. It's
Speaker 1: time for roll call Facebook dot com. If you slash
Speaker 1: buck sex it, if you want to send us a
Speaker 1: message or team buck at. iHeart media dot com. Um.
Speaker 1: So that's that's what I'm That's what I'm here for
Speaker 1: to make sure that all the good things happen. Let
Speaker 1: us get right to it, shall we? Um? And I
Speaker 1: love hearing from all you in roll call. Please do write,
Speaker 1: and especially if you've never if you're anube, a newbie
Speaker 1: four roll call purposes, you got to write in Producer Mark,
Speaker 1: have I ever asked you the snow Princess asked me
Speaker 1: recently what my all time favorite movie? She just was
Speaker 1: It was one of those kind of curiosity questions that
Speaker 1: you just ask somebody because you feel like it all
Speaker 1: time favorite movie. What is your all time favorite movie?
Speaker 1: Is it Mighty Ducks or is that your all time
Speaker 1: favorite sports movie? No, that that's my favorite movies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your favorite movie. I just I just get nostalgic about them,
Speaker 1: Like there's just those movies that you watch and you
Speaker 1: just love it every time. Why wouldn't I call it
Speaker 1: my favorite? I don't think it's the best movie ever,
Speaker 1: but I personally love it. No, I'm with you. I mean,
Speaker 1: for me, it's Braveheart, which you know, what, what connection
Speaker 1: do I really have to a bunch of guys in
Speaker 1: hundreds era Scotland running around with kilts And by the way,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have even been wearing kilts at that time.
Speaker 1: Kilts came later. There's a lot of historical and accuracy
Speaker 1: and accuracies in it. But anybody who cares, great movie.
Speaker 1: I love it. So I'm with you. But I was
Speaker 1: just wondering about that well Mighty Ducks number. You know,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. You've never seen the Mighty Ducks
Speaker 1: never seen it. You told me to watch Miracle, which
Speaker 1: I enjoyed, so you have some credibility with me on
Speaker 1: this one. So I made maybe this weekend. You want
Speaker 1: to have kind of a low key weekend with the
Speaker 1: Snow Princess, so I think maybe maybe Mighty Ducks might
Speaker 1: have to happen. You have to go into it with
Speaker 1: understanding that it's a movie for children. Yeah, can I
Speaker 1: tell you that there was I did a Google. I
Speaker 1: did a Google search the day of the big announcement
Speaker 1: because I want to see what news coverage there was.
Speaker 1: I'm not somebody who googles himself, but the day when
Speaker 1: you have a Wall Street journal piece and a Daily
Speaker 1: Mail piece and a Fox News piece on on you
Speaker 1: and your new you know radio show, you tend to
Speaker 1: want to google yourself right about my coast and I
Speaker 1: Clay Travis what we're gonna be doing it from twelve
Speaker 1: the three one, hundreds of stations. And you know it's
Speaker 1: interesting when they had the the suggested searches based on
Speaker 1: my name, pretty ser Mark, did you see this? I
Speaker 1: tweeted it out too. It was like buck Sexton number one,
Speaker 1: hair number two was wife number three was history, and
Speaker 1: number four I think was podcast. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: Google knows me so well, yeah, wife, isn't there anymore
Speaker 1: from me? By the way, in case you were wondering,
Speaker 1: what isn't there for you anymore? Wife? Oh? You know
Speaker 1: I don't have a wife. Yeah, I know, I know,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying, from the results you got the other day,
Speaker 1: I guess people have searched other things so much that
Speaker 1: wife isn't one of the suggestions anymore. Oh okay, yeah, No.
Speaker 1: There were some websites you're that that I had that
Speaker 1: people had pointed this out to me when I was
Speaker 1: single and unmarried. They said, you know that it's it
Speaker 1: says online that you're married. I was like, I've never
Speaker 1: been married. You know, I've never been married. I don't
Speaker 1: know why there should be any confusion about that, but
Speaker 1: there was for a little while. But anyway, all right, well,
Speaker 1: let's get into a roll call. Let's get into a
Speaker 1: roll call. Vale. Hey, Buck, I'm just listening to your
Speaker 1: exciting new announcement. I would say I got a little
Speaker 1: emotional when you talked about your speech impairment. It just
Speaker 1: made me so happy you overcame your difficulty and came
Speaker 1: out on top. You're a great inspiration for never giving
Speaker 1: up and overcoming the hardship life gives you. The world
Speaker 1: needs more people like you. I was also a little
Speaker 1: emotional when you said you were taking over Russia's spot
Speaker 1: one and honor, and I can't think of anyone better
Speaker 1: to fill his spot. I can only imagine him looking
Speaker 1: down and being very happy about you trying to fill
Speaker 1: his shoes. I wish you the best of luck with
Speaker 1: the new show. I have no doubt it'll be awesome,
Speaker 1: and I'll continue to listen. I've passed the Buck along
Speaker 1: and now my English boyfriend and I always listen to
Speaker 1: your show together. We're huge fans. We wish you all
Speaker 1: the best. Vale well vow that's awesome and look tell
Speaker 1: them I really appreciate it. Listens to the Buck Sexton show,
Speaker 1: you know, means fantastic, It's the best. He loves it.
Speaker 1: It's like my favorite podcast, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: More absolutely Yeah, that's a little bit like from Forgetting
Speaker 1: Sarah Marshall. That's the kind of English accent that that guy.
Speaker 1: What is his u um brand is Russell Brandy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, I was going to listen to
Speaker 1: your demo. But then I just decided to go on
Speaker 1: living my life. You know that guy did the movie
Speaker 1: they made with that character. Yeah, take him to the Greek.
Speaker 1: I did not like it, or get him to the Greek.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's I did not like it. Um, I
Speaker 1: like forgetting Forgetting Sarah Marshall's a little raunchy, but I
Speaker 1: liked it anyway. Um. You know, I talked to my
Speaker 1: dad recently. You know what he told me. He said
Speaker 1: the Game of Thrones was too violent for him, and
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you, he's kind of right. It's
Speaker 1: a really violence like go was above and beyond, you know,
Speaker 1: but I still liked it. I've never even seen it.
Speaker 1: It doesn't interest me at all. I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people are shocked in awe at that, but it's true.
Speaker 1: Sor right, Well, I don't. I don't give you recommendation
Speaker 1: anymore because I gave you one that you'll like on
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime, but you never watch it because your missus
Speaker 1: apparently shoots down my ideas. So I guess I have
Speaker 1: to watch it soon because I only have a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks left. You know, you should probably check it out.
Speaker 1: I think I think you'd enjoy it. But I'm not
Speaker 1: even gonna say what it is because people have heard
Speaker 1: it too many times in the show. Will congratulations on
Speaker 1: the big news, my friend. It couldnt have happened to
Speaker 1: a more deserving person. Nobody worked harder for this than
Speaker 1: you have, and now it's all paid off. I wish
Speaker 1: I could say I was OSS, but I started listening
Speaker 1: to you after one of your early fill ins on
Speaker 1: Russia's Show, and I immediately subscribe to your podcast and
Speaker 1: have listened ever since. While nobody could really fill Russia's shoes,
Speaker 1: I think we all know that you were a top choice.
Speaker 1: I'd say, keep up the good work, but I already
Speaker 1: know you will. Well, thank you will, and yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that's true. Nope, nobody can fill Russia's shoes. And
Speaker 1: I never have said, nor will say that, I think
Speaker 1: that that's what I'm doing. I'm just trying to carry
Speaker 1: on in whatever portion of the time slot that is
Speaker 1: open now that formerly was the rush time slot, whatever
Speaker 1: portion of that I can. I try to carry forth
Speaker 1: the the rushed legacy. And I know there are others
Speaker 1: who we'll be doing it too. And I said to
Speaker 1: you yesterday, I mean, you know Dan Bongino is a
Speaker 1: great guy. He's a friend of mine, really talented. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a good show. I mean, they're they're gonna be
Speaker 1: people that are coming in and doing great work, and
Speaker 1: I'm just I focus on doing the best work that
Speaker 1: I can. That's why I like guys like Bongino and
Speaker 1: beck and and some of these others who also do
Speaker 1: really good work and they're focused on that. They're not
Speaker 1: they're not attacking people, they're not coming after people. Um,
Speaker 1: it's just always always better to always better to you know,
Speaker 1: take the positive route, you know, to be to be
Speaker 1: building other people up. You know, it's fun. It's fun
Speaker 1: to build up other people in this business. It's fun
Speaker 1: to be nice to other people. It really is. You know,
Speaker 1: if you take that attitude, it's a good thing. Other
Speaker 1: people though, or you know, they hate they hate the competition. Stephen,
Speaker 1: just adding to the pile. Congratulations. I was mildly bummed
Speaker 1: when you went from the Saturday show to a daily
Speaker 1: show on the Blaze because I knew I might not
Speaker 1: be able to listen live as often, but was so
Speaker 1: happy for you. Same thing now bombed on one level,
Speaker 1: but so happy for you one another shields high. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Stephen. Just remember you can always always listen
Speaker 1: to the Bucks Exton Show podcast and you will be
Speaker 1: able to listen to Clay Travis and Bucks Exton Show
Speaker 1: podcast as well. So yeah, you can listen to it
Speaker 1: on demand so you never have to go without it. Jeff,
Speaker 1: congratulations Buck. Going back to original Saturday Squad an action
Speaker 1: movie Friday. It's great to see you reach the pinnacle
Speaker 1: of radio. I know you'll set the bar even higher.
Speaker 1: You're the right man for the job. This is the
Speaker 1: quasi equivalent of catching a beer bottle that was supposed
Speaker 1: to be split in half by a sword. It's all
Speaker 1: in the reflexes. First of all, Jeff, I love the
Speaker 1: Big Trouble Little China reference, so thank you. Second of
Speaker 1: all action movie quote Fridays, if we do live calls
Speaker 1: with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, maybe we'll bring
Speaker 1: that back mark that was before your time. People would
Speaker 1: call in just throw a quote at me from an
Speaker 1: action movie and see if I could get it, and
Speaker 1: I'd say I don't. I never kept official stats. I'd
Speaker 1: say I got him seventy seventy five percent at the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Producer John I used to tell me about that. But
Speaker 1: oh yeah, calls. I can't help you with that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm miss producer John. How's he doing. He's doing well.
Speaker 1: I spoke to him a couple of months ago. Tell
Speaker 1: him Team Bucks ends a hug. All right, that's gonna
Speaker 1: be the show for today. Team back tomorrow, same time,
Speaker 1: in place, Shields high
