Speaker 1: You are entering the Freedom hug, the Obama Gate reckoning,
Speaker 1: the Swoosh recovery, how the Libs lie about bar and Pompeo?
Speaker 1: Is China hacking our vaccine research? And Trump retweets the
Speaker 1: Buckster six times on Sunday morning. This is the bus
Speaker 1: Sexton Show where the mission where mission is to decode
Speaker 1: what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, You're
Speaker 1: a great American Again the buck Sexton Show begins, Cia Analyst,
Speaker 1: He's a great guy. No, Welcome to buck Sexton Show. Everybody.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining on this Monday in
Speaker 1: the middle of May. It does not feel like it
Speaker 1: normally would this time of year, because we are in
Speaker 1: the midst of this continued battle to get our lives back.
Speaker 1: The good news that I have for you today is
Speaker 1: that there are some signs of real progress here. The
Speaker 1: stories that we were told about Georgia, for example, well, well,
Speaker 1: let's actually step back for a moment. With Florida, we
Speaker 1: were told that they were moving too late and so
Speaker 1: they would hit catastrophe. Turned out that was not the case.
Speaker 1: With Georgia. We were told they were moving too early
Speaker 1: to reopen, and so they would hit catastrophe. Turned out
Speaker 1: that's not the case. In fact, Governor Brian Kemp shared
Speaker 1: just a couple of days ago that today marks the
Speaker 1: lowest number of COVID nineteen positive patients hospitalized nationwide since
Speaker 1: hospitals began reporting this data on April eighth. Today also
Speaker 1: marks the lowest total of ventilators in use eight hundred
Speaker 1: ninety seven with one nine hundred and forty five available.
Speaker 1: We will win this fight together. So Georgia is now
Speaker 1: fifteen days into it's reopened. We've started to have some
Speaker 1: businesses getting back on their feet, and I want to
Speaker 1: talk more about what this is going to look like
Speaker 1: across the country. But the team Apocalypse, as our friend
Speaker 1: of the show Alex Barrenson calls them, the shutdown Forever
Speaker 1: a chorus is losing ground because one, shutdown forever is crazy,
Speaker 1: and two the data does not support it. The data
Speaker 1: does not support at this juncture the continued state by
Speaker 1: every state lockdown that we've seen. And that's why the
Speaker 1: states that are beginning to reopen are doing better than
Speaker 1: was anticipated. Better than was expected. You shouldn't have any
Speaker 1: surprise with that. But I will get more into the
Speaker 1: what has been called in the Wall Street Journal. The
Speaker 1: swoosh shaped recovery, which, let me tell you, is not
Speaker 1: that easy to say on a radio show, should be
Speaker 1: not A V shape. V shape will be the best.
Speaker 1: A swoosh is not is going to require a little
Speaker 1: more patience, and we'll get to that later on the show.
Speaker 1: And then also just the medium moufeasance on display over
Speaker 1: the weekend was like nothing else you could imagine. I mean, well,
Speaker 1: I guess it's like the media always is. But they
Speaker 1: got They got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
Speaker 1: Not a once, I'll but a twice. Well maybe that
Speaker 1: was in the spaghetti plate, not the cookie jar, but
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, they got it. They got
Speaker 1: a cought two at times. So we will we'll get
Speaker 1: into that. We'll talk about why they keep making mistakes
Speaker 1: only in one direction and anti Trump, and then expect
Speaker 1: us to think that these are good faith errors. M
Speaker 1: I don't think so. But I want to start with
Speaker 1: what I think is the or I should say, transition.
Speaker 1: This isn't really the start anymore, is it. Team. I
Speaker 1: missed you over the weekend. I had way too much
Speaker 1: time in my hands to read finish up some research
Speaker 1: on the mall to podcast, which producer Mark will remind
Speaker 1: me of today if I don't say it out loud.
Speaker 1: So it is coming. Even the snow Princess has said,
Speaker 1: where is your multi podcast because she wants to hear it,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, it's just going to be me sitting alone,
Speaker 1: drinking mescal and talking about a battle from over five
Speaker 1: hundred years ago, from five hundred or so years ago,
Speaker 1: and we'll see if anyone likes it. And she's like,
Speaker 1: do it. So there is no do do or do not,
Speaker 1: There is no try. That's where I am on this,
Speaker 1: So it is coming. But over the weekend there was
Speaker 1: just a lot of watching of movies and reading and
Speaker 1: doing research. And the most interesting story to me is
Speaker 1: really taking us back to the beginnings of the Trump
Speaker 1: presidency and the opposition to him and the hashtag resistance
Speaker 1: and much of what we have been talking about since
Speaker 1: well honestly since this show went into national syndication, which
Speaker 1: was now for it's kind of stunning, but it was
Speaker 1: four years ago, which had to do with the deep
Speaker 1: state plot, the coup against the president United States. This
Speaker 1: is what this is what they were doing. I mean,
Speaker 1: they tried to find a mecca a legal mechanism for it.
Speaker 1: They abused power, They certainly broke regulations, and they broke
Speaker 1: faith with the American people and with the Constitution. But
Speaker 1: we now know beyond any doubt that there were people
Speaker 1: in the very top echelon of the federal government. When
Speaker 1: I say beyond any doubt, we have proof we've known
Speaker 1: for years. Go back and listen to what I was
Speaker 1: saying about the Flynn prosecution a year or two, two
Speaker 1: and a half years ago. Right, this is not a
Speaker 1: surprise to anyway. So there's a part of us that
Speaker 1: we're just seeing what we have known, what we have
Speaker 1: believed all along here to be confirmed by the evidence,
Speaker 1: the evidence from the disclosures now from federal court, and
Speaker 1: as we know, the dropping by the DOJ of the
Speaker 1: case against General Flynn, which came from a career not
Speaker 1: a not a political appointee, a career DOOJ guy, that
Speaker 1: has shown us that we were right, of course, and
Speaker 1: that everything that we had thought about the other side
Speaker 1: was true, and now we have now we have actual
Speaker 1: documentation of it. Now it's not just this is what
Speaker 1: would make sense knowing what we know and knowing who
Speaker 1: they are and what they're trying to achieve. This is
Speaker 1: no longer a theory. This is fact. This is fact
Speaker 1: that they went after Flynn in a way that was egregious, wrong,
Speaker 1: full of lies and dishonesty, and that it was all
Speaker 1: a part of this broader effort to destroy the Trump
Speaker 1: administration using this complete fabrication. It really is a fabrication
Speaker 1: of the Russia collusion fantasy. And look, I think that
Speaker 1: Sidney Powell says it quite well here, and I don't
Speaker 1: want to get to you know, she's the lawyer who
Speaker 1: the establishment was, you know, thumbing their nose at and
Speaker 1: mocking for a long time. You're, Oh, she's all these
Speaker 1: so called legal experts at the different sites and on
Speaker 1: CNN and MSNBC, you know, feeding their ignorant, left wing
Speaker 1: moron viewership as much anti Flynn bile as they possibly
Speaker 1: could all the time. Why do people hate General Flints?
Speaker 1: What did the guy even? Do they? They even if
Speaker 1: you believe what they believe, he he fibbed about a unimportant,
Speaker 1: non criminal nonsense, some FBI guys who did a sneak
Speaker 1: attack on him. You think that's worth ruining somebody's life
Speaker 1: over the Bill Clinton. Defenders of the Democratic Party think
Speaker 1: that ruining Flynn's life over there. Remember Clinton lied about
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of things. He told It was more
Speaker 1: than just the Oh he lied about sex, that's that's
Speaker 1: an idiots line. He lied about multiple things. He also
Speaker 1: told people to lie on his behalf while there was
Speaker 1: an investor, while I was a special counsel investigation going
Speaker 1: on of him. So he was up. That is obstructing justice, right,
Speaker 1: He was doing all these things. But they just said, oh,
Speaker 1: he lied about sex, and they made it go away.
Speaker 1: They want to ruin Flynn's life, and you say, why
Speaker 1: what did he do? And that's a very instant question.
Speaker 1: Actually why did he upset them so much? Because I'm
Speaker 1: building all of this too. Obama's role. Why did Obama
Speaker 1: escape any of the major criticism, any of the focus
Speaker 1: and this whole thing. Who was the president, who was
Speaker 1: running the White House, who is at the top of
Speaker 1: the government food chain when this whole thing was going on,
Speaker 1: Barack husaying Obama, who was getting briefed about some of
Speaker 1: these moves, including the move on Flynn and the phone
Speaker 1: call and all this stuff. Obama. You know, I think
Speaker 1: that we often lose sight of how immune to real
Speaker 1: criticism and transparency and opposition the Obama administration was the
Speaker 1: media as dishonest and disgusting as they are still very powerful,
Speaker 1: and they completely prostrated themselves in front of Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: They begged for him to just say a nice word
Speaker 1: about them or just wink in their in their direction.
Speaker 1: It was gross. And that's why it's no surprise that
Speaker 1: the media, I mean now when I say that they're
Speaker 1: dishonest and horrible, and they complain so much about Trump,
Speaker 1: I turned around and look at this and say, well,
Speaker 1: given what we know about how they were acting under Obama,
Speaker 1: this is just the This is just the exact opposite
Speaker 1: reaction that they're having. This is an opposite thing. It's
Speaker 1: opposite day, that's what they're doing. But Obama was able
Speaker 1: to escape the eye or even of conservatives for the
Speaker 1: most part on this one. And you know, we had
Speaker 1: a piece on buck sexton dot com based on my
Speaker 1: analysis here on this show and what I've also tweeted
Speaker 1: out that you know, the buck stops with Obama essentially
Speaker 1: that there's no way that you can know that this conspiracy,
Speaker 1: that this soft coup occurred and not view Obama as
Speaker 1: somehow involved and ultimately responsible. And then the question just
Speaker 1: becau how much was it directed by him? You know,
Speaker 1: was this on his watch and he bears responsibility or
Speaker 1: was this at his behest? And so these people were
Speaker 1: really just tools O then Obama vendetta against Flynn. There
Speaker 1: is plenty of evidence to suggest now that that may
Speaker 1: have been the case. And we know for a fact,
Speaker 1: based on the events here that there was bad faith,
Speaker 1: abuse of power, and illegality even behind the scenes to
Speaker 1: take down Flynn. And Obama knew about that bad faith
Speaker 1: and people around him were acting on it, and he
Speaker 1: didn't do anything about it. So he's at least somewhat guilty,
Speaker 1: and I mean directly guilty of this takedown of Flynn.
Speaker 1: Now we're just trying to figure out how guilty. And
Speaker 1: that's where Sidney Powell, the Flynn lawyer, who you know,
Speaker 1: she gets we gotta give her a hand, we gotta
Speaker 1: give her some applause here. I know she appears on
Speaker 1: a lot of shows, a lot of radio shows and
Speaker 1: Fox all the time. I mean, I might have her here,
Speaker 1: but I feel like they're guests who you're seeing so
Speaker 1: much of on TV that I mean, I value all
Speaker 1: of my time with you. And so if I feel
Speaker 1: like someone's done, you know, one hundred interviews in five
Speaker 1: days or something, I'm not always that keen to be like, well,
Speaker 1: let me ask you the same questions everybody else does.
Speaker 1: But maybe we'll maybe we'll ask her to come on.
Speaker 1: And I've I've been aware of her work for a while.
Speaker 1: I've been supporting it. I mean, I was tweeting at
Speaker 1: the president pardon General Flynn. I mean, I could go
Speaker 1: back in the archives and check, but maybe hear maybe
Speaker 1: two years ago. I mean, I've been saying, we got
Speaker 1: to get this done. But here's what Sidney pal back
Speaker 1: to the Obama responsibility in all this, which this is,
Speaker 1: my friends, this is the third rail. This is the
Speaker 1: nuclear reactor that will melt down if you get too
Speaker 1: close to it. For the Libs, they will completely lose
Speaker 1: their minds. Who's who's really the the standard bearer of
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. I don't care that Joe Biden is
Speaker 1: their nominee. Who do they rally around and point to
Speaker 1: and say, see, this is what democratic the Democratic Party's
Speaker 1: really all about. It's not Hillary Clinton any more, it's
Speaker 1: not Joe Biden. It's still Barack Obama. So as a
Speaker 1: symbol for the Democrats. He's very important, and as a
Speaker 1: not necessarily kingmaker because he wouldn't step in and say
Speaker 1: he was going to be on team Biden here, but
Speaker 1: certainly as an influential figure in the Democratic Party. But
Speaker 1: even more than that, the story the mythology of Obama
Speaker 1: for decades, You're going to hear people on the left,
Speaker 1: Democrats who are trying to turn this country socialist, who
Speaker 1: appoint to Obama as that sort of modern FDR like
Speaker 1: the paragon of Democrat party virtue for a long time thereafter.
Speaker 1: And that's why they get so testy about it. That's
Speaker 1: why they get so touchy when you bring up anything
Speaker 1: that happened with him, and hear anything that President Obama
Speaker 1: himself may have done that was not acceptable, that was
Speaker 1: a problem. Here's Sidney Powell, lawyer for General Flynn, given
Speaker 1: her analysis of this one play three. So then they
Speaker 1: dispatch coming the very next morning to brief President and
Speaker 1: Trump only on the salacious aspects of the dossier on
Speaker 1: January sixth, to set the news hook for BuzzFeed and
Speaker 1: CNN to run with the dossier they knew was a lie.
Speaker 1: Then Peter Struck is watching CNN report on that and
Speaker 1: text about he and pre steps sitting there watching it
Speaker 1: and using it as a pretext to go interview some people.
Speaker 1: So the whole thing was orchestrated and set up within
Speaker 1: the FBI clapper Brennan and in the Oval Office sating
Speaker 1: that day with President Obama. So you think this goes
Speaker 1: all the way up to the top to President Obama. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: it absolutely does. The only question that remains is not
Speaker 1: whether Barack Obama was in on it. It's whether Barack
Speaker 1: Obama was the one directing the whole thing. Because if
Speaker 1: you read a news story about some European country where
Speaker 1: after a fair election, the outgoing president used his last
Speaker 1: week's in office to target incoming officials and sabotage the
Speaker 1: new administration, you'd be appalled. But it happened here, my friends,
Speaker 1: and half the country thinks it was just fine. You're
Speaker 1: in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and
Speaker 1: Show podcast. You can tell that they're getting a little
Speaker 1: bit closer than Obama's comfortable with on this whole thing.
Speaker 1: You can tell because he's speaking out now. The legacy
Speaker 1: is in jeopardy. Now, the mythology of Obama has come
Speaker 1: into question. He was, as they called him in the
Speaker 1: media for years, no drama. Obama so deliberative in all
Speaker 1: of his h' talk about this some time. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take ten minutes to say anything. And they
Speaker 1: were always talking about he was a genius, He's perfect,
Speaker 1: you never do anything wrong. And you know, there were
Speaker 1: some parts of you know, of Obama's presidency that I
Speaker 1: think are are unassailable and that he was you know,
Speaker 1: he seemed like a good dad and husband and a
Speaker 1: good family man. You know, how much is that really
Speaker 1: a part of the presidency You could discuss, you know,
Speaker 1: how much of that is relevant? But you know there
Speaker 1: are things I don't attack, things about Obama that I
Speaker 1: think we weren't you know, either either were praised, were
Speaker 1: theyre weren't a problem? His conduct in this matter is horrific. Okay,
Speaker 1: the fact that he allowed General Flynn, a thirty year
Speaker 1: plus military veteran who had served under Obama as chief
Speaker 1: of the d IA, and they had some some vendetta
Speaker 1: against him, and he allowed this to go forward. He's
Speaker 1: absolutely disgraceful and horrific. And that's why Obama in this
Speaker 1: phone call, this was published. This is audio a phone
Speaker 1: call with Obama and his three thousand person like team Obama.
Speaker 1: I don't know what exactly they're called. But these people
Speaker 1: that all are still unlike the Obama proucer mark, what's there?
Speaker 1: Do we know what they're officially? Like? Who was on
Speaker 1: the phone and then there was three thousand people. They're
Speaker 1: obviously all Democrats, and they're all like Obama. They like
Speaker 1: worship this guy. But there's some term they have for them.
Speaker 1: They're like the Obama you know, I don't know something
Speaker 1: Obama squad um. But here's what he said about President
Speaker 1: Trump and his coronavirus response play nine. It would have
Speaker 1: been even with the best stoke governments, it has been
Speaker 1: an absolute chaotic disaster. When that mindset of what's it
Speaker 1: for me and to heck with everybody else, when that
Speaker 1: mindset is operationalized in our go that's that's taking a
Speaker 1: shot directly at Trump. And I mean it's not even
Speaker 1: an it's not even an intelligent analysis of the situation.
Speaker 1: I mean to say that, you know, because of what's
Speaker 1: like Trump is what's in it for me? What are
Speaker 1: we are? We're now going to do the same thing
Speaker 1: we do with the Trump hotel. Oh, he's selling cheeseburgers
Speaker 1: to people they must own they must own Trump now
Speaker 1: because he's selling them cheeseburgers. Uh, this is um, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the president's being to former members of his
Speaker 1: administration to rally behind Joe Biden. I don't know there
Speaker 1: were some. Yeah, it's basically like the It's basically like
Speaker 1: team Obama. I mean, I don't know what it's. He like,
Speaker 1: has this group of people that are all former Obama
Speaker 1: folks that he talks to on the phone. Anyway. Obama
Speaker 1: also went on to say that the the Justice Department,
Speaker 1: you know that justice itself is at risk here because
Speaker 1: of this m He must know that this is going
Speaker 1: to leak out. This is not a surprise, So he's
Speaker 1: he's taking he's taking shots at Trump now but pretending
Speaker 1: that he's not. Kind of you know, this is the
Speaker 1: This is one of these old political tricks where you know,
Speaker 1: I would never speak about how you know, my my
Speaker 1: opponent is actually a terrible human being and nobody should
Speaker 1: ever vote for him. That would be beneath me. But
Speaker 1: here's what I'm gonna tell you about Obama. He's never
Speaker 1: been up against somebody like Trump. He's only been up
Speaker 1: against McCain's and Romneys, and people who weren't willing to
Speaker 1: really fight, weren't willing to really say what they thought
Speaker 1: about a situation or an individual, and don't care what
Speaker 1: the media says about their you know, their commentary. So
Speaker 1: you know, Obama is not a political brawler, my friends.
Speaker 1: He was very, very taken care of and held up
Speaker 1: and protected by the media. If he starts throwing some
Speaker 1: some jabs at Trump, he might find himself on the
Speaker 1: other side of a rhetorical haymaker pretty quickly. It might
Speaker 1: get pretty rough for Obama. But you know what Obama's ego,
Speaker 1: he won't He won't be able to resist. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe
Speaker 1: on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcast. You know, this is disgusting. It's something that
Speaker 1: we've been exposing and fighting to get the truth out
Speaker 1: for a long time. You know, we're talking years to
Speaker 1: try to get the facts out on this. The FBI
Speaker 1: and some of the pulledovers in the Justice Department, we're
Speaker 1: trying to hide this from getting out. Adam Schiff was
Speaker 1: trying to mislead people about what was going on here.
Speaker 1: But this was a set up by some real dirty
Speaker 1: cops within the FBI and the Justice Department. And how
Speaker 1: high does it go? They are very serious questions being
Speaker 1: raised about whether it goes all the way to the top.
Speaker 1: And did Barack Obama and did Vice President at the
Speaker 1: time Joe Biden know about this and encourage it to happen? Lett?
Speaker 1: And let it happened, because, as you pointed out, the
Speaker 1: FBI had previously made a decision not to go forward
Speaker 1: with a prosecution of General Flynn because he didn't do
Speaker 1: anything wrong, and instead a few of the dirty cops
Speaker 1: wanted to set them up because they ultimately wanted to
Speaker 1: take down Donald Trump, even after he was duly elected
Speaker 1: President of United States. Nothing behind it, There was no
Speaker 1: evidence except the Russian disinformation that came from the Steel dossier,
Speaker 1: which was fueled by a Democratic Party operatives Hignord Clinton's campaign.
Speaker 1: This is disgraceful. It's even worse than that. I mean,
Speaker 1: Stave Scaliz is right, but it's worse than that. We
Speaker 1: now have these And I spent my weekend because I
Speaker 1: know how to ain't no party like a team Buck party,
Speaker 1: because a team Buck party reads a lot of government
Speaker 1: documentation off of dot gov websites so that he can
Speaker 1: do a good radio show. The US House of Representatives
Speaker 1: Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has now Hipsie has now
Speaker 1: posted the Russia investigation transcripts and documents from twenty seventeen
Speaker 1: and twenty eighteen. And now you have to skip past
Speaker 1: the fact that the way it's it's offered to you,
Speaker 1: the way it's presented because the Democrats are in the
Speaker 1: majority of the House, is like an MSNBC screed, So
Speaker 1: you have to avoid that. It's you know, Adam Schiff
Speaker 1: was this okay, this is terrible. I hate Trump the
Speaker 1: usual cold eyed nonsense, lies and lies and just he's
Speaker 1: such an odious, grotesque little man. The Adam Schiff, very
Speaker 1: bad fellow. Really not somebody, not somebody you'd want your family,
Speaker 1: your kids, your friends, anybody around. Not not a good guy.
Speaker 1: But here it is. I mean, because I don't think
Speaker 1: you could be a good person and ruin someone's life
Speaker 1: for politics, like general like ruined someone like General Flynn,
Speaker 1: along if many others. You know, we're focused on Flynn
Speaker 1: right now. Look what they did to Carter Page, Look
Speaker 1: what they did to Papadopoulos. Look what they did to
Speaker 1: Roger Stone. Roger Stone's going to prison for four years.
Speaker 1: They say that's not enough. These people are sociopaths. They
Speaker 1: do not feel other human beings pain. They do not feel,
Speaker 1: They do not understand the damage that they do. In fact,
Speaker 1: they revel in it. They think that it's justified. It's
Speaker 1: even worse than that. I'm sure somebody you would write
Speaker 1: me that right now if you could. Oh, no, Buck,
Speaker 1: it's not that they can't feel. They like the pain
Speaker 1: the others feel. They like the ruination of Roger Stone
Speaker 1: and Manafort and Gates and all these different individuals. Now,
Speaker 1: I would want to say here, there's the difference between
Speaker 1: what justice demands and what makes wild eyed partisans feel good.
Speaker 1: You know, Manaford didn't pay his taxes. Should Maniport get
Speaker 1: in trouble? Yes? Was he treated horribly because and I'm
Speaker 1: also somebody who thinks, I know this might be a
Speaker 1: little controversial. You know, I think you cheat on your
Speaker 1: taxes the first time, they take all the money owed
Speaker 1: and they take a huge fine out of you. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you go to prison for a long
Speaker 1: time for that. I mean, I'm not sure that I'm
Speaker 1: okay with that. In fact, I'm not okay with it.
Speaker 1: So I know some of you may have made disagree
Speaker 1: with me on that. But you know, you cheat on
Speaker 1: your taxes, you should you should have to pay restitution
Speaker 1: and a big fine. You do it again, maybe you
Speaker 1: know they have to lock you up for a little bit,
Speaker 1: but you do it the first time. I think everybody
Speaker 1: gets I think you get a one. I mean that
Speaker 1: fine should hurt. I mean basically, whatever the money was
Speaker 1: he didn't pay, he'd probably double it. Right. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far into this. I
Speaker 1: just think that we all agree that taxation is theft, right,
Speaker 1: and it's legalized theft, but it's it's crazy, and there's
Speaker 1: so much of it going on, and the government is
Speaker 1: spending your money in ways that are debasing the hours
Speaker 1: of labor and all of the assets that you have.
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't see it and feel it in
Speaker 1: real time, but it is happening. But anyway, they want
Speaker 1: to destroy people. Sorry, I was getting a little too
Speaker 1: ron Swanson there with taxations. That we'll talk about that
Speaker 1: another day, probably July fifteenth, which is now the new
Speaker 1: tax day for this year. But they destroy people. They
Speaker 1: don't care about the fact that they're destroying people, and
Speaker 1: really they celebrate it. I read through some of these
Speaker 1: trans there's a lot of them. I read through some
Speaker 1: of the transcripts over the weekend. One of the better ones, well,
Speaker 1: there's there's a whole bunch of them. But one of
Speaker 1: the better ones is, you know, you read through a
Speaker 1: carter page and you read through Donald Trump Junior, and
Speaker 1: you read through Sally Yates. We'll get back to Sally Yates,
Speaker 1: Brad Parscal. You know, just so many people, and a
Speaker 1: lot of them were I believe, paying their own medical bills,
Speaker 1: not meta sorry, legal bills, not medical billows whoops, legal
Speaker 1: bills in this process, Corey Luandow's game. And you can
Speaker 1: read all these very long, very long interview transcripts, and
Speaker 1: here's what comes across. They knew that there was no
Speaker 1: Russia collusion, that there was nothing there, and there were
Speaker 1: people who were interviewed here under oath, including McCabe and well,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously Adam Schiff had had all these people
Speaker 1: talking under you know, speaking under oath about things they
Speaker 1: behind closed doors. We're saying one thing, and Shift and
Speaker 1: other Democrats were hearing it, which was that there's nothing.
Speaker 1: They don't have anything, there's no Russia collusion. And then
Speaker 1: they go right out, I mean shift would go right
Speaker 1: out on MSNBC, on a TV and say, oh, there's
Speaker 1: definitely collusion evidence out there, and it's it's persons. Is
Speaker 1: a fraud, he's a liar. He should resign, should no
Speaker 1: longer be an office. It's a disgrace, a disgrace what
Speaker 1: he did. And many others, too many others. These people
Speaker 1: should lose their positions. They won't because they were doing
Speaker 1: the dirty work of their partisan apparatus. Representative Lee Zeldon,
Speaker 1: for example, is out there saying that Schiff should resign.
Speaker 1: In fact, play clip seven. Well, Adam Schiff should not
Speaker 1: be the chair of the House Intelligence Committee. His gavel
Speaker 1: should be removed, he should be censured, he should resign.
Speaker 1: There's there's a lot that should happen, But Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 1: isn't going to punish Adam Schiff. In fact, that's the
Speaker 1: reason why he has the gavel in the first place.
Speaker 1: He's the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, which became
Speaker 1: the House Impeachment Committee because of the way he writes
Speaker 1: these fairytale parodies, because of the Russian investigation and became
Speaker 1: the impeachment push. It's actually one that the Democrats reward,
Speaker 1: it's one that the media rewards. So I'm not going
Speaker 1: to expect any repercussions, even though he should resign today. Yep,
Speaker 1: that's all correct. He should resign today. He will not
Speaker 1: resign today. And I'm also warning you right now there
Speaker 1: will not be any real justice I think here for
Speaker 1: any of the people that attempted the coup will effectively
Speaker 1: get away with the attempt. They weren't successful, but they
Speaker 1: will not really be punished for the attempt. Sure, Struck
Speaker 1: was fired, McCabe was fired. That's some punishment. Those are
Speaker 1: people struck in page. I'm sorry, struck in mccabean page.
Speaker 1: These are people who locked up individuals countless times over
Speaker 1: the years for non violent crimes, frauds, white collar crimes
Speaker 1: of you know, accounting frauds, male fraud, why or fraud.
Speaker 1: Send people to prison for that. Just remember that they
Speaker 1: they were fine with other people with near victimless crimes,
Speaker 1: never mind even getting into like insider trading stuff. With
Speaker 1: near victimless crimes, they would send people to prison separated
Speaker 1: from their family. They're fine, and they try to undo
Speaker 1: the results of a presidential election, and they're not going
Speaker 1: to get punished really at all. They're not going to
Speaker 1: spend a day in prison. I mean, McKay blot under
Speaker 1: Oathen is getting away with it. That's just the deep
Speaker 1: state privilege. That's just when you're when the people that
Speaker 1: still run these different offices, you know, you don't even
Speaker 1: know their names. I mean, I remember what this is
Speaker 1: like from the CIA, when the people that are in
Speaker 1: charge of the different subcomponents, not even just the director level,
Speaker 1: but below that, when they think you're one of theirs,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the better you're gonna get, not just
Speaker 1: the benefit of down. You're gonna get a pass. If
Speaker 1: you speak out against the ATU institution though, or if
Speaker 1: you are a political problem for them, they will string
Speaker 1: you up and rip you apart and annihilate you. I mean,
Speaker 1: they just will absolutely destroy you. So McCabe gets away
Speaker 1: with this. McCabe gets away with this. Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: what I don't think. Unfortunately, the part of this that
Speaker 1: we really need more information on would be the the
Speaker 1: Obama direct President Obama himself his involvement in all of this,
Speaker 1: and I just think that that's gonna be There's there's
Speaker 1: no incentive for the people who would really know to
Speaker 1: come forward. There's no incentive for those who would have
Speaker 1: been in that room in that overlaw. What Komey and
Speaker 1: Yates and Clapper and Brennan, Clapper, Brennan, these guys were
Speaker 1: going behind closed doors and saying, no, we didn't have
Speaker 1: any Russia collusion information. And then they're going on TV, Oh,
Speaker 1: I knew there was Russia collusion. I can't imagine being
Speaker 1: such a liar, such a liar if I go on
Speaker 1: TV and I get a fact wrong, I beat myself
Speaker 1: up for days afterwards, and I'm like, how could you
Speaker 1: have been such an idiot? And that's just an accident, right,
Speaker 1: I can't imagine going on and saying something of this
Speaker 1: kind of a momentous issue, like whether the president the
Speaker 1: United States stole the election and as a traitor, and
Speaker 1: you were the former head of the of the CIA,
Speaker 1: or you were the director of National Intelligence and you
Speaker 1: know because you've been behind closed doors, never mind just
Speaker 1: the intelligence you had access to, but you've heard the
Speaker 1: investigation and the questions, and now you're just gonna pretend,
Speaker 1: you're just gonna lie, just gonna be a huge, disgusting
Speaker 1: liar and get rewarded for it. People like Comey have
Speaker 1: effectively been rewarded. I mean Comey is making tons of money.
Speaker 1: Democrats everywhere basically weep. You know, female Democrats think Comy
Speaker 1: is some dream boat. I mean, it's disgusting. But here
Speaker 1: we are, here, we are, we know the truth. Now
Speaker 1: will we get justice? I think the answer is probably not,
Speaker 1: but we'll see. But we go back to it Obama Gate.
Speaker 1: What did he know? When did he know it? And
Speaker 1: let's not give him this false invulnerability anymore where you
Speaker 1: can't really criticize Obama. Oh no, so came Brennan Clapper, Yates,
Speaker 1: all these people, Lauretta Lynch, all these people. We're in
Speaker 1: on it, and we're being completely and utterly corrupt. But
Speaker 1: Obama was above approach. He was above all this. None
Speaker 1: of us believe that we know that's a lie. How
Speaker 1: much of it can we prove? That's what we have
Speaker 1: to see. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Will I say that the mainstream
Speaker 1: media is full of frauds and liars? I really mean it,
Speaker 1: because I'm not a frauder a liar. So when I
Speaker 1: tell you that it's really, really true. We had some
Speaker 1: fantastic examples of this over the weekend, I mean, really
Speaker 1: really crystal clear stuff. And they went after the two
Speaker 1: most effective members of the Trump cabinet, and certainly the
Speaker 1: two most effective not just at their posts, but also
Speaker 1: a dealing with the media, the media garbage. So the
Speaker 1: left is all upset because they really wanted General Flynn
Speaker 1: to be ruined and that was really important to them
Speaker 1: because this was the Remember, this was part of their
Speaker 1: whole General Flynn is he pleaded guilty. He pleaded guilty.
Speaker 1: That means he's bad and never around me. They're a
Speaker 1: bunch of like hysterical little children about this, and it
Speaker 1: turns out the whole thing was a sham and they
Speaker 1: forced to plead based on lies and pressure that they
Speaker 1: hid from the court. And it was a fix. It
Speaker 1: was like a Stalinist show trial that the fix was in.
Speaker 1: This was not about justice. Okay, so they can cry
Speaker 1: all day, but the fix was in. We know that.
Speaker 1: But now they want to go after somebody else. They
Speaker 1: want to find some way to suggest that this was wrong,
Speaker 1: that Flynn shouldn't be exonerated, that they shouldn't move past.
Speaker 1: You know that we shouldn't be able to move past
Speaker 1: that initial false guilty plea force guilty play, you know.
Speaker 1: And can I also just point out to you for
Speaker 1: a second, I haven't mentioned this on the year, but
Speaker 1: I've meant to how many times before have you seen
Speaker 1: liberals are you oh, he pleaded guilty, but that that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything? Tons of times? Tons of times. My
Speaker 1: friend and Coulter came on air with me recently on
Speaker 1: wr radio in New York and she said that, you know,
Speaker 1: you look at the Central Park jogger case. Those kids
Speaker 1: were on video confessing and with detail, with adult relatives
Speaker 1: present who were who were telling them, Yet tell them
Speaker 1: what happened? You know, we know, you know, you know
Speaker 1: you did bad things and they confessed on video, and
Speaker 1: we're told that those can fashions don't count. So I
Speaker 1: mean the whole Oh, they pleaded guilt, You pleaded guilty.
Speaker 1: You don't get the question anything. Now, this is a
Speaker 1: new standard that libs the left has come up with
Speaker 1: VERR Flynn, which is total crap as we know. But okay,
Speaker 1: now now I just had to note that I think
Speaker 1: that's very important for you because they have no standards
Speaker 1: once again, no standards, no principles. I mean, if these
Speaker 1: people were in charge, you know, I can tell you
Speaker 1: this right now, if whatever offense I could ever be
Speaker 1: guilty of against the state, irrespective of whether they knew
Speaker 1: my politics or not, I would want a conservative judge
Speaker 1: and not a liberal judge. Not because I think that
Speaker 1: a conservative would view me favorably in some way, but
Speaker 1: because at least a conservative believes in the law. The
Speaker 1: liberal judge maybe has some has some policy bone to
Speaker 1: pick with people, or the liberal judge, you know, views
Speaker 1: himself or herself as being part of a giant social
Speaker 1: engineering experiment of progressivism and leveraging the power that he
Speaker 1: or she has from that bench as part of that process.
Speaker 1: So you can't can't look libs, you can't try them.
Speaker 1: That's really what it comes. Can't trust libs, can't do it.
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, Chuck Todd, Chuck Todd, why this guy
Speaker 1: has a show You Meet the Press? You know, used
Speaker 1: to be Russer Show. And Russer was Russer was very
Speaker 1: widely liked in DC. I mean, he was a liberal,
Speaker 1: but he was at least he was a liberal that
Speaker 1: put on a good show of being reasonable. You know,
Speaker 1: made it made it seem to people he was a liberal, though,
Speaker 1: but he made it seem to people that he was
Speaker 1: reasonable and did a good interview. Apparently. I never really
Speaker 1: watched the show, so I don't know. So I'm just
Speaker 1: basically on and what I've read and what I know,
Speaker 1: what I've heard. But Chuck Todd is a kind of
Speaker 1: you know, mealy mouthed kind of you I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't understand what is the appeal of Chuck Todd.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's friends with people who make
Speaker 1: decisions at NBC. I guess, oh it, he'll do exactly
Speaker 1: what they tell him to do it. He's sort of yeah,
Speaker 1: he has this way with you know, well, I have
Speaker 1: varied to politics, and I really want to ask political questions.
Speaker 1: He's just I don't know, and it doesn't make sense
Speaker 1: to anybody who's paying attention to anything. But I can't
Speaker 1: imagine being Chuck Tod's audience. Yeah, this guy's really this
Speaker 1: guy's really impressive. He's really smart, he's really good on
Speaker 1: TV any of these things. The guy has no ability,
Speaker 1: no talent whatsoever, other than just sort of, you know,
Speaker 1: weaseling his way through the corporate media. Infrastructure to get
Speaker 1: into a position of influence and authority, and now we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: Chuck Todd, I'm be saving a Tapper Todd. These people
Speaker 1: with the Sunday shows are horrible. They're horrible. They're just frauds.
Speaker 1: They pretend, oh, I'm just asking the real question, doing
Speaker 1: the real journalism. They're DNC hacks and it's a joke.
Speaker 1: That's why people in my business, a lot of them
Speaker 1: watch these Sunday shows and and then then they'll like
Speaker 1: text me, say do you see this? And no, I didn't.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll watch the clip afterwards what I
Speaker 1: catch them being frauds, which is what we have for
Speaker 1: you coming up. But I have to take a quick
Speaker 1: for either here and then I'll come back and play
Speaker 1: with the media fraud on the other side because I
Speaker 1: got too excited about other side notes in my story.
Speaker 1: Stay with me. Thanks for listening to the bus said
Speaker 1: show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, team, So,
Speaker 1: as promised, what was the most wildly dishonest thing the
Speaker 1: media did this weekend? I mean, this is a this
Speaker 1: is a competition on any given weekend, especially with the
Speaker 1: Sunday shows with the so called political journalists, their hacks,
Speaker 1: their liars, but the political journalist that run these shows,
Speaker 1: and this was a great one. This is a great
Speaker 1: one because they even had to admit, kind of like
Speaker 1: meekly and off design, well maybe we shouldn't have done this.
Speaker 1: They had to admit that this was a grotesque misrepresentation.
Speaker 1: And so with that we have Chuck Todd here referring
Speaker 1: to what the attorney general. Remember, they're all very upset
Speaker 1: about the Flint situation. They're blaming the attorney They hate
Speaker 1: Pompeo and they hate bar Right. They hate these two
Speaker 1: guys because they're smart, they're good at what they do,
Speaker 1: and they're both a big problem for attacking the Trump administration. Right.
Speaker 1: This isn't like the old days where you had Tillerson
Speaker 1: and Sessions. And I know some of you are always
Speaker 1: like Buck Sessions like this radio show, and he's such
Speaker 1: a nice guy and he's a gentleman, and I feel
Speaker 1: bad for him. He's just Sessions was not disloyal. He
Speaker 1: was just too much of a boy scout. He didn't
Speaker 1: understand what he was up against. I do not think
Speaker 1: he's a disloyal guy at all. I think he was
Speaker 1: always a big proponent of the Trump agenda, even before
Speaker 1: a lot of other people were when he was a senator.
Speaker 1: But he got rolled, he got pushed aside, and he
Speaker 1: shouldn't have on the I mean, I was in the
Speaker 1: Oval office with the President when the President said, and
Speaker 1: this broke news at the time, I don't have an
Speaker 1: attorney general. He did have an attorney general, it was
Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions, but he said I don't have one. So
Speaker 1: now he's got one with Bill Barr, who's kind of like,
Speaker 1: come on, what do you what do you yes, what
Speaker 1: do you guys think you're doing? Come on, you think
Speaker 1: you're gonna pull some over on me, kid, I've been
Speaker 1: around the block. Like that's Bill Barr, like it's just
Speaker 1: not happening. And then there's Pompeo is like, do you
Speaker 1: want to have an arm wrestling contest? Do you want
Speaker 1: to see who the big dog in the room is?
Speaker 1: You know, I'm always like, no, sir, no sir. So
Speaker 1: both great members of the cabinet. And here is how
Speaker 1: Chuck Todd represented a response that Bill Barr has on
Speaker 1: the Flynn the dropping of charges against Flynn play clip one.
Speaker 1: You brought up Bill Barr, Peggy noon, and I want
Speaker 1: you to listen to this Bill Barr answer to a
Speaker 1: question about what will history say about this way? Do
Speaker 1: you hear this answer? Take a listen twin history looks
Speaker 1: back on this decision. How do you think it will
Speaker 1: be written? Well, history's written by the winner, so Sarge
Speaker 1: depends on who's writing the history. I was struck, Peggy
Speaker 1: by the cynicism of the answer. It's a correct answer,
Speaker 1: but he's the attorney general. He didn't make the case
Speaker 1: that he was upholding the rule of law. He was
Speaker 1: almost admitting that, yeah, this is a this is a
Speaker 1: political job. I mean you just yeah. I had to
Speaker 1: let you hear the whole thing too, because understand this,
Speaker 1: they cut it in a way where it's clear, because
Speaker 1: the next sentence makes everything that Chuck Todd said untrue.
Speaker 1: And they must know this, but they're so used to
Speaker 1: getting away with this crap, they're so used to the
Speaker 1: dishonesty and not being called out on it, that sometimes
Speaker 1: they just get so they get sloppy. And you know,
Speaker 1: in the Tim Russert area, or in the era, or
Speaker 1: in the Dan Ratherer or Cronkite or these guys nobody.
Speaker 1: No one's gonna check them. No one's gonna check them
Speaker 1: on this crap. You get away with whatever they want.
Speaker 1: No one else has access to the raw tapes. No
Speaker 1: one else has access to the transcripts, right, I mean
Speaker 1: not really now? Oh no, we can see what was
Speaker 1: said in the interview, and remember this is this is
Speaker 1: what was actually said. Play clip two. When history looks
Speaker 1: back on this decision, how do you think it will
Speaker 1: be written? Well, history is written by the winner, so
Speaker 1: it's largely depends on who's writing the history. But I
Speaker 1: think a fair history would say it was it was
Speaker 1: a good decision because it it upheld the rule of law,
Speaker 1: it helped it upheld the standards of the Department of Justice,
Speaker 1: and it undid what it was an an injustice. Does
Speaker 1: that sound like what was represented to you by that
Speaker 1: Sunday Show by Chuck Todd. There he says, look, histories,
Speaker 1: it was kind of a throwaway comment, like a preamble.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, history is written by the winners. But
Speaker 1: if you want to know what I think about this,
Speaker 1: I think that it was the right move because it
Speaker 1: was the right move because it was just they took
Speaker 1: what was effectively a throwaway comment. You know, it would
Speaker 1: be like if I if I if someone asked me,
Speaker 1: what do you think about what's gone on here, you
Speaker 1: know with the flint case, and I said, look, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, it is, it is what it is. But
Speaker 1: I think that we really need people to go get prosecuted,
Speaker 1: who did this whatever. And they just cut that out
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, Sex and says we're done. It
Speaker 1: is what it is. It is what it is. That's
Speaker 1: all he said. It is what it is, which I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't even know what that means. But
Speaker 1: people say it a lot. Jerry Seinfeld, right, producer Mark
Speaker 1: and his stand up, he calls it out. He's like,
Speaker 1: don't ever, don't ever do the it is what it is? Yes, correct, Buck,
Speaker 1: Yes he does, and he's right about that. There were
Speaker 1: some very there are some very good moments on that one.
Speaker 1: The it is what it is is definitely something that
Speaker 1: you shouldn't you shouldn't go around saying. I try to
Speaker 1: avoid it also for a lot of people. And I
Speaker 1: never like to say this to people, but try not
Speaker 1: to say, like all the time, I'm hearing it more
Speaker 1: and more a lot of people like you know, like
Speaker 1: I mean, like there's a lot of that. Also fascinating
Speaker 1: when you hear Obama again now that he doesn't have
Speaker 1: all that the trappings of office and everything. Oh a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of this on a lot of
Speaker 1: it on coninal talks like us. Uh, there's the little
Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot of pauses he has
Speaker 1: as Its interesting because we were always told that he
Speaker 1: was the greatest, most gifted rhetorically gifted politician of our lifetime,
Speaker 1: of our lifetimes, I should say, and perhaps of all time.
Speaker 1: And m no false. I mean, I'm somebody that spends
Speaker 1: a lot of time doing a lot of talking without
Speaker 1: any notes and without a prompter. And I know when
Speaker 1: someone's good. I know when someone's gifted. Obama is not
Speaker 1: not even not even a little bit good good on
Speaker 1: a prompter speech. But so are a lot of actors.
Speaker 1: But I digress back to the Chuck tadd thing here,
Speaker 1: Come on, do we think that that was an accident?
Speaker 1: They cut off the next sentence where he says he
Speaker 1: answers the question clearly and says that you know, this
Speaker 1: is really what the answer is. But they took a
Speaker 1: sort of throwaway thought when he's having a conversation with
Speaker 1: a journalist and act like that's his answer to the question.
Speaker 1: You know, it would be like if somebody said, well,
Speaker 1: you know, do you believe it this might have gone up?
Speaker 1: We said, well, you know, you can never know with
Speaker 1: absolute certainty, comma. But I think that the Obama administration
Speaker 1: had this problem all the way at the very top.
Speaker 1: If they cut off the comma and just said, oh,
Speaker 1: he said, you can never really know, that is how
Speaker 1: dishonest these people are. And then they put out some
Speaker 1: little tweet on this and it's looked that was one instance.
Speaker 1: That was one instance, and then you had sixty minutes,
Speaker 1: which why do people still watch these legacy media outlets
Speaker 1: with a bunch of clowns who were not impressive, who
Speaker 1: just have inherited these huge platforms that were built over
Speaker 1: many decades when they had no competition and now they're
Speaker 1: just incumbents and there's nothing special or unique about But
Speaker 1: where so many people are habituated they want to watch, Oh,
Speaker 1: I want to watch you know, the ABC news broadcast.
Speaker 1: You really watch a news broadcast, It's thirty minutes long,
Speaker 1: and at the end that always has something about you know,
Speaker 1: someone who's like sing saving a mother duck in a
Speaker 1: pond somewhere, or you know, oh, or like look at
Speaker 1: this like happy story of like a dog reunited with
Speaker 1: this owner that they got separated for a while. That's ah,
Speaker 1: it's you know. I was an intern at CBS Eving
Speaker 1: News with Dan Rather before I ever thought i'd work
Speaker 1: in media, and I just remember just thinking everybody there
Speaker 1: was like pretty terrible. I really did not Dan Rather was.
Speaker 1: It was a was a total unimpressive bolt. And I
Speaker 1: thought that the people that worked there were kind of
Speaker 1: mean to each other, and everyone thought what they're doing
Speaker 1: is much more important though what it was. Remember this
Speaker 1: is CBSV News in two thousand, before the National Guard
Speaker 1: documents forgery scandal. But I was everyone there, I thought, oh,
Speaker 1: it was so important Dan Rather, it was so important
Speaker 1: to all put in this. I'm like, this guy's a buffoon.
Speaker 1: Why do you all listen to him? It really is
Speaker 1: like a cult. I mean some media apat apparati or apparatuses,
Speaker 1: whatever word would be hy. They're almost like a cult
Speaker 1: people believe. I mean I had some guy who's very
Speaker 1: senior guy in news media say that he thought Diane
Speaker 1: Sawyer was the most brilliant human being he'd ever met.
Speaker 1: And I was like, you're You're a senior news producer,
Speaker 1: even the guy I had been in the game for
Speaker 1: like forty years. You're a senior news producer. You sat
Speaker 1: down with you know world famous Yeah, we know world
Speaker 1: famous scientists, and you know literary geniuses and you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know chess masters and all kinds. Diane Sawyers
Speaker 1: most brilliant person. Yep, oh, most brilliant person ever. I
Speaker 1: guess it's fun to believe, you know, it's fun to
Speaker 1: live in fantasyland. But we got another instance here of
Speaker 1: the media malfeasians. I know, I know, I'm just I'm
Speaker 1: leaning into this one today. M here you get what
Speaker 1: sixty minutes this is what got me diverted because I
Speaker 1: just love to trash these legacies. These legacy outlets need
Speaker 1: to go away. I mean, I will not be happy
Speaker 1: until CNN has to be completely rebranded as like the
Speaker 1: Home Shopping Network Part two. I will not be happy
Speaker 1: until that happens. And it's gonna be a long fight
Speaker 1: because they gotta be war chest and a lot of
Speaker 1: legacy brand build up. But it's a terrible trash organization.
Speaker 1: That should should go away, it should have to close
Speaker 1: its doors. But here is sixty minutes slamming the Trump
Speaker 1: administration for something that slimming Pompeo for something that he
Speaker 1: didn't say play for. Initially President Trump praised China, but
Speaker 1: in the following weeks, testing in the US failed to
Speaker 1: catch up to the need. Vital equipment was short, bodies
Speaker 1: filled refrigerated trailers, and science was continuously challenged. And then
Speaker 1: I see the disinfectant Nazi out in a minute one minute,
Speaker 1: And is there a way we can do something like
Speaker 1: that by injection? As the US led the world in
Speaker 1: illness and death, the White House moved the focus to
Speaker 1: the Chinese government. That's where this began. Last Sunday, Secretary
Speaker 1: of State Mike Pompeo attempted to resurrect a debunked theory
Speaker 1: that the virus was man made in China. It's claiming
Speaker 1: that the Secretary of State of the United States was
Speaker 1: resurrecting a debunk theory. This is the claim that he's making.
Speaker 1: Let's hear what Secretary Pompeo actually said. And this is
Speaker 1: what CBS or what sixty minutes CBS was referencing. Play
Speaker 1: five Your Office of the DNI says the consensus, the
Speaker 1: scientific consensus, was not manmade or genetically modified. That's right.
Speaker 1: I agree with that. Yeah, I've seen their analysis. I've
Speaker 1: seen the summary that you saw that was released publicly.
Speaker 1: I have no reason to doubt that that is accurate. Okay, So,
Speaker 1: just to be cleared, you do not think it was
Speaker 1: manmade or genetically modified. I've seen what the Intelligence Committee said.
Speaker 1: I have no reason to believe that they've got it wrong.
Speaker 1: He has seen what the intelligence community says and as
Speaker 1: no reason believe it's wrong. How is that resurrecting a
Speaker 1: debunked conspiracy theory. Huh So they're a lot. So notice
Speaker 1: this is over the course of one weekend. They straight
Speaker 1: up some of the most revered, esteemed journalists and journalism
Speaker 1: platforms that exists for the mainstream journal world. And they
Speaker 1: are they flatly lie. I mean they lie about what
Speaker 1: the Attorney General said, They lie about what the Secretary
Speaker 1: of States is. These are lies. And these are the
Speaker 1: people that are doing Trump laws Trump laws. They have
Speaker 1: no honesty, they have no integrity, There are no position
Speaker 1: to be calling on anyone else for anything, but they
Speaker 1: think they do. You're in the freedom Hunt. This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Icon Very Goldwater went to
Speaker 1: the White House and actually told Richard Nixon that it
Speaker 1: was time to leave. That's not what we're even asking here,
Speaker 1: though I believe America would be far better off and
Speaker 1: senior citizens would be far safer and we can face
Speaker 1: this crisis far better if Donald Trump did leave office.
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen, but we'd be better off
Speaker 1: without any president. That's the morning Joe me could take.
Speaker 1: I mean, these people really have become a parody every morning,
Speaker 1: absurd the stuff that they say, and you can never
Speaker 1: forget that they I mean, Joe Scarborough was all about Trump.
Speaker 1: Trump was gray hat. I'm on a show all the time,
Speaker 1: and now it's it's personal for him. Look when you're
Speaker 1: when you're when you're a millionaire who is doing the
Speaker 1: bidding of the libs over at MSNBC every day. You
Speaker 1: know the Libs say jump, you say how high? You
Speaker 1: know that then must erode your your sense not just
Speaker 1: of self respect, but over time, your just sense of
Speaker 1: decency and that internal calm that people can draw a
Speaker 1: palm when things get tough, and you just become a
Speaker 1: shrill loon like Joe Scarborough has become which is which
Speaker 1: is a shame. I mean, this is a guy who
Speaker 1: used to be a conservative apparently now it's now. I
Speaker 1: don't know what you'd even describe him as, but he's
Speaker 1: entirely unhelpful. And while we're at this juncture of reopening,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned the top of the show, show Georgia
Speaker 1: has reopened and it is not a big, horrific disaster.
Speaker 1: We're two weeks into the Georgia reopening and they have
Speaker 1: fewer cases than they've ever had. Now, two weeks is
Speaker 1: the incubation period. So someone explained that to me, if
Speaker 1: the reopen, and with such a terrible idea, how could
Speaker 1: we be through a full incubation period of reopen and
Speaker 1: not see a big spike in cases? Right? Why why
Speaker 1: wouldn't we see this? Oh this, it's slower. It's slower, buck,
Speaker 1: Give it two more weeks, give it two more weeks,
Speaker 1: wait for the second wave. These people have been wrong
Speaker 1: about everything. You know that. Now they're writing stories about
Speaker 1: how we're facing a glut, we're facing an oversupply of ventilators.
Speaker 1: We went from a few weeks of oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna have ventilators. Everyone's gonna and as I
Speaker 1: was telling you, ventilators are not a particularly good treatment
Speaker 1: for this at all. Ventilators an absolute last resort because
Speaker 1: they don't know what else to do. So, you know,
Speaker 1: it wasn't like, oh, if we get enough ventilators, everybody's
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, but oh, we're gonna run out of ventilators.
Speaker 1: And then it turns out now we're gonna have We're
Speaker 1: gonna have warehouses full of ventilators that we don't even
Speaker 1: know what to do with. What are we gonna do
Speaker 1: with all these ventilators? But this is another Again they
Speaker 1: make these projections, they're wrong, and then they expect us
Speaker 1: not to care about the wrong projections. So it's very frustrating.
Speaker 1: But we see this play out over and over again,
Speaker 1: and we also now see that the people in charge
Speaker 1: they're recognizing and we're going to get to another week.
Speaker 1: On Thursday, unemployment numbers will come out. It's gonna get
Speaker 1: really ugly, my friends. It's gonna get worse. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get to at this rate, will be a thirty million
Speaker 1: unemployed probably by the end of the week, officially unemployed
Speaker 1: at least cose to maybe twenty five million, whatever the
Speaker 1: number is, I mean, the number is always less than
Speaker 1: what it actually is. And I see this, and I
Speaker 1: recognize time is not on our side, as I've been
Speaker 1: telling you with the economy. And here's Minuchin saying that
Speaker 1: it's not just a risk of like a bad economic year.
Speaker 1: There is systemic risk to the entire economy if we
Speaker 1: do not open this thing soon play clip twelve. So
Speaker 1: if we do this carefully, working with the governors, I
Speaker 1: don't think there's a considerable risk. Matter of fact, I
Speaker 1: think there's a considerable risk of not reopening. Here talking
Speaker 1: about what would be permanent economic damage to the American public.
Speaker 1: And we're going to reopen in a very thoughtful way
Speaker 1: that gets people back to work safely, that has them
Speaker 1: social distance. That is what we're doing. And now this
Speaker 1: is where we get into the what the Wall Street
Speaker 1: Journal calls a swoosh recovery, which means, you know, a
Speaker 1: v would be got we got clawber. But then we
Speaker 1: come right out of it, which is what we all wanted.
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen. Businesses are going to be
Speaker 1: opening at best at a fraction of their capacity. Demand
Speaker 1: will be a fraction of what it was, This is
Speaker 1: going to be slow. We are going we have definitely
Speaker 1: chosen to be in a recession that will last months,
Speaker 1: if not years, that's for sure. Are we in a
Speaker 1: depression that we're going to have to desperately try to
Speaker 1: pull ourselves out of just into a recession? I think
Speaker 1: that's where we really are. And there's this greater recognition
Speaker 1: right now of that truth. I mean, here's the piece
Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal today. Factory furloughs across the
Speaker 1: US are becoming permanent closings, a sign of the heavy
Speaker 1: damage the coronavirus pandemic and shutdowns are exerting on the
Speaker 1: industrial economy. Makers of Dishware in North Carolina, furniture Foam
Speaker 1: in Oregon, and cunning Boards in Michigan are among the
Speaker 1: company's closing factories. In recent weeks. Caterpillar Incorporated said it's
Speaker 1: considering closing plants in Germany. Boat and motorcycle maker Polaris
Speaker 1: plans to close a plan in Syracuse, Indiana, and tire
Speaker 1: maker Goodyear Tire and Rubber plans to close a plant
Speaker 1: in Gadsden, Alabama. Those factory shutdowns will further erode an
Speaker 1: industrial workforce that has been shrinking as a share of
Speaker 1: the overall US economy for decades. While manufacturing output last
Speaker 1: year's surpassed a previous peak from two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: factory employment never returned to levels reached before the financial crisis.
Speaker 1: Some of these furloughs, some of these slowdowns, are turning
Speaker 1: into firings and shutdowns. Those will not be turned back
Speaker 1: on because for them to come back on, you would
Speaker 1: need the demand in order to make those sustainable businesses
Speaker 1: and to make those plants worth keeping open. We're not
Speaker 1: going to be back at that level of demand. We
Speaker 1: have a lot of people that don't want to go
Speaker 1: back to work as it is right now. Even if
Speaker 1: they can, this is going to be a fight, my friends.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. So I'm back here in NYC
Speaker 1: where we're on lockdown and everyone's wearing masks in their cars,
Speaker 1: on their bicycles, acting like if they get within fifty
Speaker 1: feet of somebody, they're going to get you know, this
Speaker 1: terrible virus and who and we're not opening anytime soon here,
Speaker 1: But I want to know what's going on in other
Speaker 1: parts of the country. Here, I keep reaching out to
Speaker 1: friends of mine in the media world who can illuminate
Speaker 1: what more sane regions are doing right now. And with that,
Speaker 1: we got our friend Ben Ferguson in the mix here.
Speaker 1: Ben is a Nashal syndicated radio host of the Ben
Speaker 1: Ferguson Show. You can follow him on Twitter, on Facebook
Speaker 1: check out his his podcast. Mister Ben Ferguson from the
Speaker 1: Great State of Texas. Thanks man, pleasure. It's about time
Speaker 1: we start taping the conversations that you and I have
Speaker 1: all the time anyway, right, Yeah, I will. I always
Speaker 1: tell people that the best conversations that happen in conservative
Speaker 1: media is like when none of us think anyone's listening
Speaker 1: or watching, we just let it rip. So you and
Speaker 1: I have that, we've we've had that kind of rapport
Speaker 1: for years because for those who don't know, UM, Ben
Speaker 1: and I have both uh and Ben, I believe you
Speaker 1: are you are still there for the time being. UH.
Speaker 1: So you know what I know. I can't ask you
Speaker 1: to say, but Ben and I have both worked at CNN.
Speaker 1: I can say that. So there you go. Ben and
Speaker 1: I've both worked at CNN as my friends as conservatives.
Speaker 1: Uh so you can imagine the hardest job you can
Speaker 1: get in TV, is what I say. Oh, you can
Speaker 1: imagine what that's like. Um, although I will say, have
Speaker 1: you ever done have you ever done Bill Maher show?
Speaker 1: That is probably the hardest show. Well years ago. I mean,
Speaker 1: he is one of the fun hard shows. But that's
Speaker 1: that's the toughest can set it? Yeah, I've done in
Speaker 1: a couple of times because they go four on one
Speaker 1: against you, and also the crowd is against you, and
Speaker 1: it's just like being in the Thunderdome with your hands
Speaker 1: tied behind your back and you're like, what's going on? So? Yeah? Anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, so let's sound Brady. It's like Tom Brady
Speaker 1: playing anywhere in the country on the road. Right. Everybody
Speaker 1: hates you because you went yeah, So tell me, my friend,
Speaker 1: what is going on? First? You know, I know not
Speaker 1: only you're a host, but you're also a business owner entrepreneur.
Speaker 1: How are I mean you got a great barbecue place
Speaker 1: up in Tennessee and a gun range there have you
Speaker 1: been able to you know, where are we with keeping
Speaker 1: them open? Reopening? What's the business looking like? Tell me
Speaker 1: about p p P. Walk me through how that's how
Speaker 1: that's going. Yeah. Well, I mean there's there's so many
Speaker 1: things here that we're going to learn from this and
Speaker 1: we hope that we can fix. And I'll give you
Speaker 1: an example. The day that PPP came through, because our
Speaker 1: business was clearly going to apply for it, we had,
Speaker 1: you know, dozens of employees. I have a barbecue restaurant,
Speaker 1: we have a gun range and a gun store, all
Speaker 1: under twenty five thousand square feet. It's a large facility.
Speaker 1: We had a little more Alexander On from the Senate
Speaker 1: from Tennessee literally right after they passed PPP, I mean
Speaker 1: within hours of the passing it, and we asked him like, hey,
Speaker 1: here's what we need to know. How do we get
Speaker 1: in line? How does this work? There's gonna be a
Speaker 1: rush on the bank. What do we need to do?
Speaker 1: And they talked about this being orderly. Well, then the
Speaker 1: reality set him. We were there, and I would consider
Speaker 1: myself to have kind of like insider information. Right, you
Speaker 1: have a senator on who helped write the bill. We
Speaker 1: got our loan application Friday and morning literally when the
Speaker 1: bank opened, and then the bank said all right, we
Speaker 1: got everything. A couple days later, they called back, Hey,
Speaker 1: we had to change this. We need this now from you.
Speaker 1: Immediately ran it over the bank and said okay, we're
Speaker 1: good and they said yes, and they got new guidance
Speaker 1: a couple of days later and they said, hey, we
Speaker 1: need you, we need this or we need to fill
Speaker 1: out this former we're changing this form. We ran down
Speaker 1: there and did out come to find out what was
Speaker 1: really happening all along is the federal government was giving
Speaker 1: a fee for every loan of PPP money that was
Speaker 1: given out. We found out the banks we're basically saying
Speaker 1: whichever loan is the biggest, goes to the front of
Speaker 1: the line. Now Congress knew about this. We told them
Speaker 1: about this because we were being told by the banks,
Speaker 1: and we had people calling in saying, just so you know,
Speaker 1: if you're at a larger bank, get ready to get screwed,
Speaker 1: even if you got in day one or day two
Speaker 1: in this loan, because they're pushing your ten and twelve
Speaker 1: and eight thousand and fifteen thousand, our loans to the
Speaker 1: bottom of the barrel every single day when the bigger
Speaker 1: loans are coming in. So we literally called Washington and said, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: y'all when this money runs out, you need to fix
Speaker 1: in the second time. And sure enough, but guess what happened.
Speaker 1: They did not fix it. They had the ability to
Speaker 1: say to the banks that loans must be done in
Speaker 1: the order and we'd say are received. They could have
Speaker 1: fixed this in the law for that second round of
Speaker 1: PPP money. It was deliberate, from what I understand, from
Speaker 1: big bankers and others, especially those close to Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker 1: to not fix that loophole. And so what ended up
Speaker 1: happening is we now are seeing small businesses that did
Speaker 1: not get any money the first and or second time. Now,
Speaker 1: we luckily got our e number Wednesday night around ten
Speaker 1: o'clock after raising utter hell with the bank, and I
Speaker 1: think they realized this is going to be bad. Pr
Speaker 1: they got in the first day. We got to get
Speaker 1: this money to this small business and we were able
Speaker 1: to get our money right before it right out. But
Speaker 1: but you see now that what has really happened is
Speaker 1: the banks were incentivized to give these loans to the
Speaker 1: biggest loan amount that was being requested, not based on
Speaker 1: who came in and the order in which they received.
Speaker 1: The government knew this was a problem, certainly within a
Speaker 1: week or so, and they chose deliberately not to fix this.
Speaker 1: So in Middle America right now, unfortunately, we're hearing from
Speaker 1: people every day and to my show that are called
Speaker 1: in and saying we never got our money, and this
Speaker 1: money is now going to be gone and no one's
Speaker 1: getting it that really needed it or not. A lot
Speaker 1: of people, I should say you are not getting a hid.
Speaker 1: Most of them are in that twenty five thousand to
Speaker 1: about five thousand range where the loans that were left
Speaker 1: out deliberately because Washington yet again screw the American people
Speaker 1: and genuine small businesses by hooking these banks up with
Speaker 1: these huge fees. We're speaking to Ben Ferguson of the
Speaker 1: Ben Ferguson Show. Man's also got a great head of hair.
Speaker 1: So those you only know his voice, just just put
Speaker 1: it out there. You know, hair game respects hair game.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold on to it as long as I
Speaker 1: can buy right. Hair game likes hair games. So tell
Speaker 1: me this man, how are your employees than doing. Have
Speaker 1: you had to furlough? And also are you able to
Speaker 1: in Tennessee? Are you guys back at you know, are
Speaker 1: you doing takeout? Are you back at what level? Of
Speaker 1: capacity are you at? When do you think people do
Speaker 1: your employees there think that folks would come and do
Speaker 1: sit down maybe at a smaller you know, the twenty
Speaker 1: five percent capacity I think is what's being talked about
Speaker 1: in Texas. You know, tell me about how you're seeing
Speaker 1: that and also just when you're seeing with the Texas
Speaker 1: reopen So I know you you got a hand in Tennessee,
Speaker 1: but you're down in Texas. Yeah, No, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: interesting to see what's happened here. And it's really an
Speaker 1: issue of there's three major problems that the restaurants are having.
Speaker 1: I'll start with my barbecue restaurant, Ferguson's Barbecue. We're at
Speaker 1: fifty percent capacity. Well, there's no business structure that allows
Speaker 1: for a restaurant to make a living at fifty percent occupancy.
Speaker 1: So yes, we are open right now, and yes we're
Speaker 1: using that PPV money to keep our employees going, but
Speaker 1: we're losing money every day that we're open because it's
Speaker 1: impossible for us. We don't have a drive through. We
Speaker 1: are a sit down restaurant, and with social distancing and
Speaker 1: taking basically half of our tables out and we can
Speaker 1: have a full restaurant, we could be on a weight
Speaker 1: and we will not make a living. So we're basically
Speaker 1: saying we hope that that as we're in what the
Speaker 1: Governor's referred to phase one of the opening, which is
Speaker 1: and hopefully will get to that phase two, which will
Speaker 1: give us more tables right in the restaurant. But there's
Speaker 1: no way the restaurants that we've talked to, unless you
Speaker 1: have a drive through window, unless you have a massive
Speaker 1: takeout business that you can survive in phase one or
Speaker 1: phase two of the reopening. We've seen the same thing
Speaker 1: in Texas where it was twenty five in Houston where
Speaker 1: I have twenty five percent of occupancy, most restaurants that
Speaker 1: I know that had the option. Now, i'll give you
Speaker 1: a great example. Thursday night, my wife and I we
Speaker 1: went out for the very first time and went two
Speaker 1: months to a great restaurant. We got there made a
Speaker 1: reservation because we were thinking, well, you know, finally the
Speaker 1: restaurants are reopened, let's make sure we have a reservation.
Speaker 1: We got there, we were the only table that set inside.
Speaker 1: There was a couple of tables outside. There was a
Speaker 1: single table inside, and we asked them, how are you
Speaker 1: guys doing. They said, if it wasn't for takeout, we'd
Speaker 1: be screwed. They had one waiter for the whole restaurant,
Speaker 1: they had one chef, and they had one person doing
Speaker 1: the dishes. So skeleton crew here. And that's the problem.
Speaker 1: And what I think the President understands is at some
Speaker 1: point you've got to allow these people to open up,
Speaker 1: because no one in the restaurant world is going to
Speaker 1: be able to survive on a fifty or twenty five
Speaker 1: percent documency. Restaurants is the hardest thing I've probably ever
Speaker 1: done in my career. It is slim margins. I mean,
Speaker 1: we may sell three grand in food, but you may
Speaker 1: only make three hundred dollars. It depends on what you're selling,
Speaker 1: it depends on how long they sit. There's the restaurant
Speaker 1: business is a three to five six percent margin on average.
Speaker 1: So you've got to be open every day, and you've
Speaker 1: got to have a really good staff, and you got
Speaker 1: to watch your cast flow. You know, barbecue has a
Speaker 1: little bit better margin. That's honestly one of the reasons
Speaker 1: why we chose to do it. I'm a barbecue guy,
Speaker 1: been competing love it for years, being from Memphis. But
Speaker 1: these other restaurants that have really big overheads, they have
Speaker 1: premier locations. I don't know how thirty forty percent of
Speaker 1: them don't disapprove by the end of this, And I
Speaker 1: don't think that's a crazy number. You can imagine here
Speaker 1: in New York City, where commerce show real estate is
Speaker 1: billions and billions and billions of dollars of revenue of taxes.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an enormous part. I mean I'm in
Speaker 1: Midtown Manhattan. I mean I'm surrounded by some of the
Speaker 1: most famous office buildings in the world. That's where I live,
Speaker 1: and that's where I'm doing the show. And when are
Speaker 1: we going to get back to having these these sort
Speaker 1: of uh you know, cube farmer existences. Are we ever anyway?
Speaker 1: So you can imagine that that's going to be a
Speaker 1: huge problem. But I also want to ask, also, you
Speaker 1: go out to eat, when you when you got to eat,
Speaker 1: those tables are so close together because that real estate
Speaker 1: costs so much in New York's a great example. I
Speaker 1: would not be surprised if you guys lose thirty five
Speaker 1: of the businesses their restaurant business. This is what I
Speaker 1: wanted to ask. You can't do that? What are you
Speaker 1: hearing from You know, I'm here in the city. I
Speaker 1: have some friends who are restauranturs I friends or restaurant
Speaker 1: tours in DC. We know the restaurant business is in
Speaker 1: rough shape right and that's not going to change anytime soon.
Speaker 1: And you know, I hope you and yours are able
Speaker 1: to see it through, and you know, God willing you
Speaker 1: and I will be sitting down having a a sweet tea.
Speaker 1: And I'm really a brisket guy. I mean that's kind
Speaker 1: of my go to So I've got your brisket bro
Speaker 1: I got you're sure you guys have that covered at Fergus's.
Speaker 1: But on the on the other small business, see, we
Speaker 1: actually so Mother's Day we did I think they said,
Speaker 1: Miss Kathy who runs our pit. I think we did
Speaker 1: twenty seven briskets take out for Mother's Day. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: I wish I could have been one of them. It's
Speaker 1: one of those business is amazing. I was like, good,
Speaker 1: keep selling them. And now we have a shortage of meat.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. I mean, we've got we had
Speaker 1: our we had our us food struck show up on Thursday.
Speaker 1: And this goes back to this country and opening back
Speaker 1: up but this is serious. So I saw this shortage
Speaker 1: coming again. Every once a while doing radio like you
Speaker 1: and I do and TV, you're blessed with information that
Speaker 1: you can really dissect and say, how is this going
Speaker 1: to relate to a business? And I saw that these
Speaker 1: these pork facilities were shutting down and beef facilities were
Speaker 1: shutting down, these shortages that were coming. So we opened
Speaker 1: last week for the first time on Monday. We had
Speaker 1: frozen enough of our food when we had the instant
Speaker 1: shut down that we were okay for about a week.
Speaker 1: Our food truck came on Thursday. There was no briskets,
Speaker 1: There was no shoulders, there were no ribs, there was
Speaker 1: no sausage. Now, I'm a barbecue place. What do you sell? Right? Like?
Speaker 1: What's left if you have none of those things on
Speaker 1: your menu? I literally called my dad and said, Dad,
Speaker 1: can you go to Cosco? Nothing? They were completely bone dry.
Speaker 1: I said, he went to Walmart. I literally called other
Speaker 1: barbecue places in Memphis where I knew the owners, and
Speaker 1: I said, do you guys have any supply in One
Speaker 1: of the guys actually let us go to his restaurant
Speaker 1: and buy some supply from him to make it through
Speaker 1: the weekend. Then we had to open up another account
Speaker 1: with a smaller food farm. Luckily I was able to
Speaker 1: talk about this on the radio. We had people call
Speaker 1: us saying, hey, I can fulfill your order. We opened
Speaker 1: up another Cisco account with it. You know, we usually
Speaker 1: just had one supplier and so we were lucky. But
Speaker 1: then businesses right now we're seeing Windy's running out of
Speaker 1: Hamburger meet because there a fresh meat place around the
Speaker 1: country and now they're having no more hammurger meat. We
Speaker 1: can't find a deep friee for example, they are gone.
Speaker 1: We went, we went to every store we get our
Speaker 1: hands on, use Craigslist, eBay, all of them right Facebook, Marketplace.
Speaker 1: Not as single deep freeze within three hundred miles that
Speaker 1: we could even go get if we got the food
Speaker 1: to put it in the deep freeze. So that's the
Speaker 1: second wave of this. All this shut down takes a
Speaker 1: lot of time to reopen it back up. You've got
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen. These factories where these workers stand side
Speaker 1: by side, and that's where a lot of people are
Speaker 1: getting hit right now. As restaurants, even the ones that
Speaker 1: are getting open. If you if you have a heavy
Speaker 1: protein based menu, meat and poultry you're in. You're going
Speaker 1: to be hurting probably for next month or so, is
Speaker 1: what we've been told from our suppliers. We won't get
Speaker 1: on on a minute or two left. We're speaking of
Speaker 1: Ben Ferguson. But Ben, I just want to get your
Speaker 1: take before we have to run into a break here
Speaker 1: of what's going on with gun buying in time? I
Speaker 1: mean in New York the answer is here zero because
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to buy guns here. What's going what's
Speaker 1: going on in Texas? Massive? What has happened here? We
Speaker 1: saw a couple different things here. We saw a massive
Speaker 1: run at our gun store from Asian Americans who were
Speaker 1: very concerned about retaliation, retaliation crimes against them because it's
Speaker 1: coming from China. Talked to a lot of those individuals personally,
Speaker 1: and I understood their fear, and I hated it they
Speaker 1: even felt that way. But that was kind of the
Speaker 1: first wave. The second was Home Defense went through the
Speaker 1: route because people were hearing about police officers that were
Speaker 1: getting coronavirus. In Memphis, for example, more than a hundred
Speaker 1: police officers are off the streets in quarantine, so you
Speaker 1: have fewer officers on the street. And then the third
Speaker 1: wave that we saw was business owners where everybody knows
Speaker 1: which businesses are dormant right which are closed down. And
Speaker 1: so you started seeing these significant increase in burglaries because
Speaker 1: it was sitting ducks. These businesses are sitting there vacant.
Speaker 1: You know, they're vacant. Entire shopping centers are vacant. You
Speaker 1: have to worry about people watching you. And so we
Speaker 1: ran out of nine millimeters, ran out of forties. Then
Speaker 1: we had the run on ammunition. We ran out of
Speaker 1: every caliber that we get our hands. Unluckily, we were
Speaker 1: you know, blast slash smart and made sure that we
Speaker 1: had a manufacturer in our hometown for American made ammunition
Speaker 1: in which we prided ourselves on custom making in our
Speaker 1: own box, so we were able to keep AMMO coming in.
Speaker 1: But right now, if you go to a distributor and
Speaker 1: you try to order nine millimeter two two six or
Speaker 1: are you know AAR fifteen rounds for people to keep
Speaker 1: it simple or forty, you may not get it for
Speaker 1: six months. That's how far the backlog is for most
Speaker 1: gun stores. Ben Fergus and everybody, Ben, thanks so much. Man.
Speaker 1: I look forward to going shooting an eating some brisket
Speaker 1: with you. Thanks for joining us. Thanks man, you're in
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast.
Speaker 1: You begin to get worried that basic not just institutional norms,
Speaker 1: but our basic understanding of the rule of law is
Speaker 1: it risk. That was the Obama quote. I had to
Speaker 1: take another another crack at this one, and that was
Speaker 1: the Obama quote that I mentioned the first hour. So
Speaker 1: our basic understanding of the rule of law is at
Speaker 1: risk because we're not prosecuting a guy that clearly should
Speaker 1: never have been prosecuted. And it's a disgrace that the
Speaker 1: FBI did what it did, and disgrace the DJ went
Speaker 1: along with it, and a disgrace that the Mueller probe
Speaker 1: was a bunch of partisan hacks who were abusing the
Speaker 1: law for the most clear and indefensible political purposes. But
Speaker 1: there's Obama weighing in, I meant, and then you have
Speaker 1: Brian's Brad Stouter, who's like, wow, that do it double?
Speaker 1: A time out of Flint story play fifteen. It's so
Speaker 1: disappointing to look at what we're seeing from right wing
Speaker 1: media these days, where there's such an obsession with the
Speaker 1: deep state and these revelations about the Russia probe and
Speaker 1: the decision about Michael Flynn. They're treating the Michael Flinn's
Speaker 1: story like it's a bigger deal than the death of
Speaker 1: two thousand Americans a day. We're seeing this on Fox
Speaker 1: and Friends and other shows. Oh if I can't just
Speaker 1: chuck this more on up, somebody please, it's just appalling. Nay,
Speaker 1: like no one streaming. There's a bigger thing, it's another
Speaker 1: new Can we only talk about coronavirus all day long?
Speaker 1: Because that's what we've basically been doing for eight weeks. Now?
Speaker 1: Are there allowed to be other news stories? This from
Speaker 1: the network CNN that ran with the Russia collusion madness, Russia, Russia,
Speaker 1: Russia every day for three years, and it was all
Speaker 1: a lie. It was a fantasy. It was a fiction. Snelter, Tapper, Cooper, Cuomo,
Speaker 1: Burnette go through, the whole crew, all just propagating lives
Speaker 1: all the time, having these a horrible legal analysts spewing
Speaker 1: bull crap on the air. Oh and now that the
Speaker 1: truth comes out, why are you talking about the flat
Speaker 1: case yet? Jerk? Thanks for listening to the Bus Sesson
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeart
Speaker 1: Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts to mask
Speaker 1: or not to mask. There's the question many of us
Speaker 1: are asking these days. We ask about the mask the
Speaker 1: evidence for outdoor transmission. As I've told you many times, well,
Speaker 1: there is a lot of evidence that it's not a risk,
Speaker 1: that it's not something that you should be concerned about. Now,
Speaker 1: when I say it's it's not a risk, you know
Speaker 1: there there's always a risk of something that could happen
Speaker 1: that you can't But you don't live your life, you know.
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you that Producer Mark won't get hit
Speaker 1: by hail because there was some hail in New York
Speaker 1: today that happens to hit him in the temple and
Speaker 1: happens to cause an aneurysm and he falls down and
Speaker 1: no more, Producer Mark. That would be we would be
Speaker 1: super sad, Producer Mark. But I'm not going to tell
Speaker 1: you not to go outside because there was hal There
Speaker 1: was hail earlier today and you could be hit by
Speaker 1: a piece of it. You know what I mean. Why
Speaker 1: are we killing me off in this ridiculous scenario. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I'm just trying to come up with
Speaker 1: a ridiculous scenario. And I just wanted everyone to pay attention,
Speaker 1: and they'd be sad. If we lost producer Mark to
Speaker 1: a piece of hail, everybody would there'd be a lot
Speaker 1: of tears from Team Buck. Yeah, now, Baton beat away,
Speaker 1: the thanks right exactly. You're not worried about it. You
Speaker 1: still go outside, but I can't guarantee you that can't
Speaker 1: happen outdoor mask outdoor transmission rather of this disease is
Speaker 1: not a high enough risk to justify outdoor masks wearing.
Speaker 1: Now in New York, the guidance people forget this. The
Speaker 1: guidance is if you can't social distance and you're out
Speaker 1: in public, wear a mask. It's not you have to
Speaker 1: wear a mask all the time if you're outside, but
Speaker 1: that's what everyone's taken it to be, and other places
Speaker 1: other states have also had this. We're in Florida, and
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some bleeped out language here because this
Speaker 1: person was kind of losing it. In Florida, you had
Speaker 1: a woman who clearly snapped and went nuts and yelling
Speaker 1: at people because of they're not wearing a mask. Play seventeen.
Speaker 1: I'm a little fool pissed off at the simple fact
Speaker 1: that people around this town don't wear the mask, don't
Speaker 1: wear their gloves. I just finished showing a house right now.
Speaker 1: The lady was pissed off because I asked her to
Speaker 1: wear a mask, Like seriously, woman, and that she's coughing
Speaker 1: two seconds later, like it's no big deal. We're in
Speaker 1: this because as like that, because people out there on
Speaker 1: their boats doing all their food partying. No I'm not jealous,
Speaker 1: No I'm not, because you know what, I have a god.
Speaker 1: I could go out with my friends and party. But
Speaker 1: there's a time and place for everything, and now it's
Speaker 1: not the time and place. Now is the time and
Speaker 1: place to be taking care of yourselves and the people
Speaker 1: who around you. There are people dying, There are people
Speaker 1: in hospitals risking their lives because a mother like you,
Speaker 1: who won't wear your mask, who don't wear your gloves,
Speaker 1: who don't work practice social distancing. Yes, Miami's a party town,
Speaker 1: but the truth is, you know what, there's a time
Speaker 1: and place for partying and everything. Now it's not the
Speaker 1: time to party. Where are your mask? Where are your gloves?
Speaker 1: But we're gonna be quarantined all the way to god
Speaker 1: September and we may be spending New Years in our
Speaker 1: house because of you fool out there who don't wear
Speaker 1: your mask. Now, I understand that was a deeply ineloquent rhet,
Speaker 1: but it is representative of a wider sentiment out there
Speaker 1: that people have now become mask panicked. There is mask
Speaker 1: panic in fact, bit of a playoff words there where
Speaker 1: if you don't wear masks, people now want to blame you. Now,
Speaker 1: I find this very troubling because we see the state,
Speaker 1: the sort of big es state. Sometimes it's an actual state,
Speaker 1: sometimes the federal government. Sometimes it's the apparatus of the government,
Speaker 1: that bureaucracies, the public health authorities, and the media. But
Speaker 1: the people that want control are using masking now as
Speaker 1: a This is now a barometer of how much you're
Speaker 1: willing to be controlled. And I get a sense that
Speaker 1: they are encouraging us turning on each other over this issue,
Speaker 1: that we now are at odds over this as people,
Speaker 1: and there'll be blamed now for anyone who doesn't wear
Speaker 1: wear a mask, even though masking in public is completely absurd.
Speaker 1: It's absurd. There's no basis for this other than just people. Now,
Speaker 1: if you want to, if you want to wear a
Speaker 1: mask because it makes you feel better, fine, I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to take away anyone's right. Now, Remember the mask
Speaker 1: is really to protect other people, it's not so much
Speaker 1: to protect you. You can still get this in the eyes,
Speaker 1: you can still breathe this in, especially if it's a
Speaker 1: cloth mask. It does not prevent any transmission of the disease.
Speaker 1: And if masks were enough, my friends, no healthcare workers
Speaker 1: would be getting this at all, right, I mean, because
Speaker 1: unless they're touching their eyes or doing something that's really egregious,
Speaker 1: they're wearing masks. They have PPE. I know there's been
Speaker 1: a run on PPE, and we'll return to that in
Speaker 1: a moment about what China has been doing with that.
Speaker 1: But a mask is not enough. Otherwise well then all
Speaker 1: you can do is wear a mask, and I can
Speaker 1: get the disease right, And healthcare workers are wearing masks,
Speaker 1: so you know, if you're being exposed to a lot
Speaker 1: of this in the air, it's not pulling out all
Speaker 1: the viral particles. As I said, it can go into
Speaker 1: your eyes. This is it's smaller than it's smaller than bacteria's.
Speaker 1: We know about viruses. We all learn this in like
Speaker 1: the fifth grade. So if it's in the air or not,
Speaker 1: but it disperses an open air. We've been over this before.
Speaker 1: There's really there's really an infinitesimal risk of contracting this
Speaker 1: in open error. But I don't like that that people
Speaker 1: are now mobilizing the masses through fear against those of
Speaker 1: us who are trying to get back to the beginnings
Speaker 1: of normalcy. One of the themes today on the show
Speaker 1: has been how the economy is going to be in
Speaker 1: a more precarious place than a lot of people realize.
Speaker 1: Even as we're opening, you're going to have vastly suppressed demand,
Speaker 1: enormous amount of debt, enormous amount of destroyed businesses out
Speaker 1: there that we'll have to find a way to reopen.
Speaker 1: They haven't made the profits they've needed. Just paying your
Speaker 1: employees is not the same thing as having a successful business.
Speaker 1: They haven't, you know. And who is going to bring
Speaker 1: back demand for things like incredibly expensive office space in
Speaker 1: major cities. Who is going to bring back demand for
Speaker 1: the subways? New York alone is facing billions and billions
Speaker 1: of dollars of shortfall because of taxes. Every state that
Speaker 1: is shut down is going to have shortfalls as a
Speaker 1: result of this. So we are just we're just trying
Speaker 1: to get to the point where we start to piece
Speaker 1: back together our society after has been economically flattened, and
Speaker 1: there are people that are saying, no, don't piece it together.
Speaker 1: We're all gonna die if you try to start to rebuild.
Speaker 1: What's the alternative? What are we really going to do?
Speaker 1: We're gonna sit here and wait. Therapeutics are not going
Speaker 1: to save us. A vaccine is not coming anytime soon,
Speaker 1: and we cannot sit and wait for a plan that
Speaker 1: is just a fantasy plan about test and trace, so
Speaker 1: we know about every case we can stop every person
Speaker 1: who gets this. You know, the problem we have right
Speaker 1: now in testing and most most of the country is
Speaker 1: over capacity, meaning that people aren't taking all the tests
Speaker 1: that are out there. You know, they could do ten
Speaker 1: thousand tests a day in some places, they're only do
Speaker 1: in two thousand tests a day in some states. What
Speaker 1: are what are you going to do? Well, that's actually
Speaker 1: that's actually an important and important place that I want
Speaker 1: to just take a pause and bring you up to
Speaker 1: speakcause we keep hearing about how other countries have controlled this,
Speaker 1: let's do what they do. We keep hearing that, Well,
Speaker 1: here's a thread on Twitter from somebody who is a
Speaker 1: I believe he's a professor or he's talking about what
Speaker 1: he's learned from a professor in South Korea. And here
Speaker 1: is the here's the thread which which is a remarkable,
Speaker 1: a remarkable series of steps. And I check these out
Speaker 1: of the weekend and it and it adds up. This
Speaker 1: is what this is what we're hearing about what's going
Speaker 1: on in in South Korea because we're told, oh, we could,
Speaker 1: we could do what they do and and here oh
Speaker 1: he goes as an American South Korea. It's very interesting
Speaker 1: to me, the star contrast of how different the two
Speaker 1: countries response to coronavirus is. This gentleman's name is Michael
Speaker 1: came on Twitter this this one completely megaviral over the weekend,
Speaker 1: this tweet, and it's this whole thread of what of
Speaker 1: what's going on in that country? And we should know
Speaker 1: he's telling you people say, oh, we'll do it like
Speaker 1: South Korea. Here's what they're doing in South Korea, folks,
Speaker 1: And they still have cases and they still have people
Speaker 1: dying from it. Quote upon arrival, they take your temperature
Speaker 1: at the airport and ask if you've experienced any symptoms.
Speaker 1: If you have, they move you to a separate area
Speaker 1: and give you a coronavirus test. If you haven't, they
Speaker 1: take you to another area and interview you. They also
Speaker 1: install ankle bracelets. You are required to install an app
Speaker 1: on your phone and enable location tracking all the time.
Speaker 1: You are required to self report symptoms in the app
Speaker 1: twice a day. If you don't have symptoms, you need
Speaker 1: to report that too. This goes on for a period
Speaker 1: of fourteen days. During this time, you are not allowed
Speaker 1: to leave the quarantine dormitory. They put you in a
Speaker 1: dormitory or your home if you've chosen to self isolate
Speaker 1: at home. So if you don't have a home, you
Speaker 1: go into a quarantine dormitory mandated by the state. You
Speaker 1: cannot take public transportation or taxi, and you cannot self
Speaker 1: isolate in a hotel or airbnb. If you don't have
Speaker 1: a home, you must use the dorm. If you break quarantine,
Speaker 1: you will find ten thousand US dollars and face jail time. Also,
Speaker 1: they check your location on the phone frequently. My wife
Speaker 1: had her location checked thirty seven times in a three
Speaker 1: day span, and they've called enterprising folks who leave their
Speaker 1: phone at home and go out. During this self isolation,
Speaker 1: you cannot have contact with anyone during this time. They
Speaker 1: give you special trash bags to throw away your trash in,
Speaker 1: and people in hazmat suits come and collect your trash
Speaker 1: upon request. You are assigned to a caseworker who is
Speaker 1: responsible for making sure you are following all the orders.
Speaker 1: They will call you and text you to make sure
Speaker 1: you are okay. They will also send you care packages
Speaker 1: that contain a lot of food, gloves and masks, etc.
Speaker 1: If there is a new coronavirus case in your general area,
Speaker 1: same city or district, you get a public safety alert
Speaker 1: on your phone that tells you about the person age, male, female,
Speaker 1: city and provides updates as they receive them. I forgot
Speaker 1: to mention. Korea also has mobilized their army to provide
Speaker 1: more operations and logistics support at the airport. We were
Speaker 1: required to get a COVID nineteen tests within three days
Speaker 1: of arriving, which is the only activity that's allowed to
Speaker 1: break quarantine. You have to do this in coordination with
Speaker 1: the caseworker. I mean there's absolutely no protests or demonstrations
Speaker 1: about the anti freedom measures or invasion of privacy. Everyone
Speaker 1: seems to accept these measures, while we still take precautions
Speaker 1: like wearing masks, washing hands, etc. I feel pretty confident
Speaker 1: that the government knows everyone who has coronavirus and is
Speaker 1: tracking things very closely. Contrast this with the situation in
Speaker 1: the US. No one really knows everyone who has coronavirus,
Speaker 1: so you have to assume everyone has it and there's
Speaker 1: no actionable plan. Can you imagine trying to do this
Speaker 1: in America? This country is just not I mean at
Speaker 1: least half of us not going to comply with this
Speaker 1: ankle bracelets, monitoring, checking in with government authorities multiple times
Speaker 1: a day, What are your symptoms? Where are you? You're
Speaker 1: staying in this government to prove quarantine home if you
Speaker 1: don't have a home, ten thousand dollars, fine, if you
Speaker 1: decide to go out and get a sandwich, my friends,
Speaker 1: does anyone really think that we could do this, We
Speaker 1: would do this, we should do this. That's what's going
Speaker 1: on in South Korea, and South Korea still has cases
Speaker 1: of the virus, people still die from it. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine this degree. The government's gonna put an ankle bracelet
Speaker 1: on you like a criminal and monitor you through your
Speaker 1: own smartphone app multiple times a day, and you have
Speaker 1: no choice. You have to comply with this for a
Speaker 1: disease that kills less than one percent of the people
Speaker 1: who get it, and we've already had about a third
Speaker 1: in New York City of all people get it. We're
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna do that. You're gonna do that in
Speaker 1: states that have had less than a thousand fatalities from
Speaker 1: this ankle brace. Think of the massive program here, the plan,
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of people in this country, twenty million illegals.
Speaker 1: Just well, you know, we've got more illegals, and they've
Speaker 1: got people in a lot of these countries that are
Speaker 1: trying these different measures. I mean, I think South Korea's
Speaker 1: got fifty million, Sweden's got ten million. You look at these,
Speaker 1: and Sweden's done the opposite approach of they'll like, let
Speaker 1: people live life. Sweden was right by the way, and
Speaker 1: everyone I love people keep saying, oh, we're not like
Speaker 1: Sweden enough to model, to use their approach as a model.
Speaker 1: We're like South boat let's do the South Korea maneuver.
Speaker 1: You think we're like, we're more like South Korea culturally,
Speaker 1: economically and politically than we are like Sweden. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess you can make it a case, but I
Speaker 1: don't know we're not going to do the South Korea model,
Speaker 1: So people who are sent yelling tests in trace, this
Speaker 1: is just a delay. This is a fantasy because they
Speaker 1: don't want to admit that we have to open We
Speaker 1: have to open the country up. It's not perfect. It's
Speaker 1: not perfect. Now, people have been dying every single day
Speaker 1: of lockdown. Thousands and thousands and thousands of them died
Speaker 1: during lockdown. So lockdown, we assume saved all these lives,
Speaker 1: but is it really saving lives? Just look at what's
Speaker 1: going on in the nursing homes. How much worse would
Speaker 1: it have been in the nursing homes if we had
Speaker 1: just told people to social distance but keep going to work.
Speaker 1: These are the questions that a lot of people in
Speaker 1: charge don't want to answer because they've forced us. We're
Speaker 1: in a pandemic and they forced us into a depression
Speaker 1: that did not have to be. That's what the real
Speaker 1: problem is that they have. You're in the Freedom Hunt.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. And we also
Speaker 1: know from their own customs data that they vacuumed up
Speaker 1: virtually all of the world's personal protective equipment, including over
Speaker 1: two billion masks. And we also know that today what
Speaker 1: China is doing sitting on that stockpile of what we
Speaker 1: call PPE is they're selling it at profits, hearing prices
Speaker 1: to some and to other countries. They're actually putting pressure
Speaker 1: on those countries to deny that virus came from China,
Speaker 1: or to talk about Taiwan or do other things. China
Speaker 1: hoarding PPE when they knew that this was about to
Speaker 1: hit all these countries all over the world. And there's
Speaker 1: even more than that. I mean, look, the China relationship
Speaker 1: between not just the US, but the world in China
Speaker 1: is never going to be the same after this, which
Speaker 1: is a good thing. This has been. This has been
Speaker 1: a wake up call. It is a necessary wake up
Speaker 1: call for us in this country that China should not
Speaker 1: be treated like it's a nation that if it just
Speaker 1: becomes wealthier and more influential, is going to be happy
Speaker 1: with that and everyone's going to live happily ever after
Speaker 1: and the rest of the world that's not the case.
Speaker 1: China is a economically rapacious, authoritarian regime that has aspirations
Speaker 1: of global dominance, of being the hegemon, of pushing the
Speaker 1: United States aside, and this current competition we're in for
Speaker 1: stabilizing and reopening our societies. This is a civilizations in
Speaker 1: the balance kind of moment. How are we going to
Speaker 1: end up in this whole thing versus how is the
Speaker 1: Chinese government going to do? This is a question that
Speaker 1: we're all going to have to face. We're all gonna
Speaker 1: have to take we should be taking very seriously. Right now,
Speaker 1: it looks like China might be able to get up
Speaker 1: and running faster than we are after being knocked down
Speaker 1: by this virus that they caused and then hid from
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. And on top of that,
Speaker 1: they're also using this as an opportunity. Even when we
Speaker 1: would think that the world perhaps is linked arm in arm,
Speaker 1: all pushing all fighting against this virus. Even when you
Speaker 1: think that's the case, guess what, the Chinese government is
Speaker 1: still looking to gain advantage in this whole process. Us
Speaker 1: to accuse China of trying to hack vaccine data as
Speaker 1: virus redirects cyber attacks. That's quite a headline from the
Speaker 1: New York Times today. Here's what they're telling us. The
Speaker 1: FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are preparing to
Speaker 1: issue a warning that China's most skilled hackers and spies
Speaker 1: are trying are working to steal American research and the
Speaker 1: crash effort to develop vaccines and treatments for the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: The efforts are part of a surge in cyber theft
Speaker 1: and attacks by nation seeking advantage in the pandemic. That's right,
Speaker 1: China is viewing this moment when we're there's a few
Speaker 1: reasons for vulnerability here. We are distracted by the pandemic,
Speaker 1: we are wounded and slowed down by the pandemic. And
Speaker 1: there's also a greater sense of openness and transparency around
Speaker 1: a lot of proprietary pharmaceutical, medical and scientific information. Right
Speaker 1: we're all supposed to be doing what we can to
Speaker 1: beat this virus, and I've I've talked to doctor friends
Speaker 1: here in New York who are saying that this is
Speaker 1: a moment in time. They've never seen anything like it
Speaker 1: where there's so much free sharing of information among the
Speaker 1: global medical community. Now hasn't really, I mean, it's been helpful,
Speaker 1: but it has not created any major breakthrough yet against
Speaker 1: the virus. But in that environment, the Chinese government is
Speaker 1: having its state sponsored hackers and state paid hackers. I mean,
Speaker 1: some of these are people at work for the Chinese government.
Speaker 1: You know, they have some that are there's plausible deniability
Speaker 1: with the hacking. There's others that are just the Chinese
Speaker 1: Communist Parties internal security apparatus doing this at the behests
Speaker 1: of the Chinese military and the Chinese government. They're trying
Speaker 1: to use us as an opportunity to steal more. Once again,
Speaker 1: this is what they do. They steal sensitive and valuable information,
Speaker 1: and that is what they're up to right now. And
Speaker 1: it's um, it's just wrong. It's just wrong. Are we
Speaker 1: going to hold them accountable for this? I mean that's
Speaker 1: the most obviously, Buck is like, it's naughty what they're doing. No,
Speaker 1: I know, But are we gonna No? I don't think we.
Speaker 1: I think we're too busy and they know that we're
Speaker 1: focused on other things. So even while they're trying to
Speaker 1: steal vaccine information from us, we can't we can't trust
Speaker 1: the Chinese government to work with us even on even
Speaker 1: on this issue. They're trying to steal instead of collaborate.
Speaker 1: That is the Chinese Communist Party. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: the Buss and Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast,
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts. I
Speaker 1: just thought, Wow, this guy. I thought he was really sexy,
Speaker 1: and you know he was he was he was. He
Speaker 1: just oozed decency and in integrity. He was kind and
Speaker 1: caring and all of those things. And so after the dinner,
Speaker 1: and after the dinner everybody left the table, he and
Speaker 1: I were still locked in conversation, and on their way home,
Speaker 1: I said to my husband Ben Bradley, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I found the guy. I found the perfect person for
Speaker 1: her to have an affair with, because she had been
Speaker 1: married to the president who was a jerk, and she
Speaker 1: wasn't really in love with him, and he was totally
Speaker 1: in love and involved with himself. And here was Tony Fauci,
Speaker 1: who and even though he was famous and you know,
Speaker 1: well respected and all that, didn't care about fame or
Speaker 1: money or power. He Fauci should do good. Mark. I thought,
Speaker 1: I thought that this Sally Quid lady was talking about
Speaker 1: me at the start here, I mean, I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: should cut out the end. So everyone thought she was
Speaker 1: talking about you. Here's this guy who's really sexy, who's
Speaker 1: decency and integrity. I'm like, apparently she listens to the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show or watches me on Pluto TV. I
Speaker 1: don't know what he ate the first. I don't think
Speaker 1: you can even get snow Princess to say nice things
Speaker 1: like that about you, not like that, you know, who's
Speaker 1: decency and integrity and was really sexy. I mean hopefully
Speaker 1: she thinks that, but I don't think she'd ever say
Speaker 1: that in public. And I just I love this though. Yeah,
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci, Yeah, O, here we are. I'm I'm a
Speaker 1: sex machine, I'm a superb I'm a super stud muffin Fauci.
Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, man, really, this is where we
Speaker 1: are with this. I don't know what's more disturbing your
Speaker 1: Fauci impression saying he's sexy or the Warren impression doing
Speaker 1: loving the rock. Oh man, that was one of our.
Speaker 1: That was one of our. That was one of the
Speaker 1: moments on the show that people really remember. I could.
Speaker 1: I can't even like conjure it up in my own head,
Speaker 1: but I remember listening back to it and I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: we really took that to another place. I'm not even
Speaker 1: sure what place we went to. He's a sex shopan
Speaker 1: with those pectoralis major muscle school. I just want to
Speaker 1: touch Elizabeth Warren. Oh Hey, so where were we? Oh? Yes,
Speaker 1: this was the point where I just said, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci to Libs is a sex symbol. Now that's
Speaker 1: how that's how insane these people look. I mean, Fauci's
Speaker 1: a nice guy, and he's a handsome, older gentleman and
Speaker 1: all that. I'm I'm not trying to be rude about it,
Speaker 1: but I mean, come on, let's not be insane, folks, right,
Speaker 1: it's just so weird. Why why revere this public health
Speaker 1: expert in this way? I will say doctor Burkes's scarves
Speaker 1: from when I stand from the ladies, very fashionable, very fashionable.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever seen that or not
Speaker 1: already heard that or not. Prucer mark this missus Mark
Speaker 1: like the scarves of the doctor Burks. No, I think
Speaker 1: that's an older age demographic, Joy older. Pardon me, excuse me, Buck, older,
Speaker 1: I said it nicely, Yeah, an older lady thing. All right,
Speaker 1: this is where we can do roll call, so Buck
Speaker 1: stops making an ass of himself. Hit it. The show
Speaker 1: ain't over yet, folks, keeping it real. It's time for
Speaker 1: roll call, all right, Rick Ryan's hey bucking producer Mark
Speaker 1: listening to Thursday's podcast. It was a pleasant surprise to
Speaker 1: hear Mike Slater on your show. Although I've never met him,
Speaker 1: I did get to talk to him a few times
Speaker 1: on a Saturday show back in the day. I agree
Speaker 1: with you, he's a good and nice guy. So glad
Speaker 1: that you, Mike, and Dana are metaphorically together again. And
Speaker 1: Jesse's like the cherry on top. You all do such
Speaker 1: a great job. Nice catch on the Cincinnatis reference, by
Speaker 1: the way, shields high. Well, thanks so much. Rick. Yeah, look,
Speaker 1: we've got we've got a great crew at the first
Speaker 1: that they've pulled together, and Mike Slater is one of
Speaker 1: the most earnest, nice, good dudes you'll find in this business.
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, by the way, is also super nice, but
Speaker 1: is don't tell him I said that because his head's
Speaker 1: big enough. But it's obviously a hilarious guy and is
Speaker 1: a really really astute political analyst and observer too. And
Speaker 1: then Dana Lash needs no accolades or you know, you know,
Speaker 1: high fives for me. I mean, Dana's Dana. Everyone knows
Speaker 1: Dana's work and she's fantastic, so uh yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: we got a really good we got a really good crew,
Speaker 1: really good squad. And as for the Cincinnatis reference, qure
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw an ancient Rome reference. You're gonna slip
Speaker 1: that one past the buckster. I don't think so, not
Speaker 1: on my watch. And yeah, thank you so much. I
Speaker 1: appreciate you Rick writing in and joining us and all that.
Speaker 1: Adam writes, buck does Commy Bear play speed chest shields high?
Speaker 1: So Adam, uh, Commy Bear speed Chess. You know, Commy
Speaker 1: Bear is a character we created that people keep asking
Speaker 1: for me to bring him back. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: feel like some people think it's just that they're not
Speaker 1: into it, and other people really like it. I kind
Speaker 1: of want to do it and bring him back, but
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I guess we could now on
Speaker 1: the first but it was kind of a gag. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking about a producer.
Speaker 1: Mark probably isn't know what Commy Bear is. I've heard
Speaker 1: of it, I've never actually seen it, but you know,
Speaker 1: there's some there might be some old YouTube videos bouncing
Speaker 1: around of Commy Bear doing his thing. But as I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, it sounds like a great YouTube video
Speaker 1: for us that might be a good thing on the
Speaker 1: YouTube dot com slash buck sex in YouTube channel that
Speaker 1: we have launched. That is fantastic and everybody listening to
Speaker 1: this should subscribe to because there'll be more and more
Speaker 1: content on that going forward. So yeah, maybe commy bear
Speaker 1: we could bring bet it was like a little bear
Speaker 1: that is a little bottle of vodka in AK forty seven,
Speaker 1: and who would give his thoughts on Taylor Swift Beyonce
Speaker 1: politics and socialism, which would probably a good time. All right,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm kind of selling myself phone as we're
Speaker 1: thinking about it. Does he play speed chests of course
Speaker 1: and he always wins or also bust out his AK
Speaker 1: on you, his tiny tiny AK forty seven. Kyle Buck,
Speaker 1: you're absolutely on point with General Flynn. When this whole
Speaker 1: thing started, I argued with lib and said, the only
Speaker 1: thing that was proven is that you never sit down
Speaker 1: a chat with an FBI agent unless you're lawyers present.
Speaker 1: Between Flynn, Kavanaugh, the Muller investigation and impeachment, it's like
Speaker 1: the progressive concept of justice is like something you'd hear
Speaker 1: from someone who escaped the Soviet Union or some third
Speaker 1: world blank hole country. Great show, love your take on
Speaker 1: things and the color commentary of producer Mark Yep. The
Speaker 1: penalty Box is a much much revered addition to the
Speaker 1: show aka producer Mark commentary. And as for as for Flynn, Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I think that people have lost their
Speaker 1: minds on this Flynn case on the left and they
Speaker 1: no longer can be reasoned with. And as for the FBI,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't sit down with the FBI at a lawyer,
Speaker 1: and I used to work with the FBI. I mean
Speaker 1: I actually do things with the FBI when I was CIA,
Speaker 1: when I was at MPD Intel Division analyst. Yeah, I would.
Speaker 1: Now we'd not talk to them. Now if the FBI
Speaker 1: called me and they're like, hey, Buck, can we sit
Speaker 1: down and chatty with something, and be like Nope, that
Speaker 1: is a no. So we'll take that for what it's worth.
Speaker 1: And I'm on, I'm rooting for law enforcement and I'm
Speaker 1: rooting for the rule of law every every day, every
Speaker 1: time I can, every way I can. But sorry, man,
Speaker 1: you know, I after watching that Waco series and now this,
Speaker 1: I mean I already knew about the Waco stuff before,
Speaker 1: but the series kind of brought it all home for you. Mark,
Speaker 1: did you finish it yeah, I finish it before you remember.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. Yeah, you told me to watch it,
Speaker 1: I think, or he told me that it was good.
Speaker 1: To finish it. It was good, which reminds me. I
Speaker 1: have watched two movies over the weekend on the advice
Speaker 1: of one producer Mark as well as many of you
Speaker 1: who write in. One of them was Uncut Gems. One
Speaker 1: of them was Winter Soldier. One of them I found
Speaker 1: highly entertaining, and the other one I thought I was
Speaker 1: going to have to stab my eyes out with a
Speaker 1: blunt object. Which one is? Which? Producer Mark? I don't
Speaker 1: even this is a stupid question. We both know you
Speaker 1: liked Uncut Gems and you didn't like Winter Soldier because
Speaker 1: you have some person little vendetta against Marvel movies. Well,
Speaker 1: I will have you know that you have it backwards.
Speaker 1: No way. Yes, I liked Winter Soldier. I hated on
Speaker 1: Good House It was so good. Is there to like
Speaker 1: in the movie? Is cursing every three seconds? And the
Speaker 1: guy's horrible and he's because he's a he's a mobster
Speaker 1: from Brooklyn. Oh, oh, of course he's cursing every five seconds.
Speaker 1: I've never seen any like him. Is he a mobster?
Speaker 1: I don't know a mobster, but you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: he's a were a jewelry guy from Long Island or
Speaker 1: wherever he was from New York. I also couldn't understand
Speaker 1: a lot of the dialogue. I was gonna say it,
Speaker 1: you're from New York, I know, but there was a
Speaker 1: lot of everyone was talking so fast and cursing, and
Speaker 1: You're like the only person who I've heard that's watched
Speaker 1: that movie that I said this. I know, I dude,
Speaker 1: I know. I'm just telling Well, though I watched it
Speaker 1: with I watched it with a couple of family members,
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you that they were not They were
Speaker 1: not fans either, man. I mean we were like, what,
Speaker 1: here's what I what is the point of the movie?
Speaker 1: That's what it didn't make clear. I mean that there's
Speaker 1: some magic that this stone has. Anyone who has the stone,
Speaker 1: things are going well, and then you lose the stone
Speaker 1: and things go badly. And actually it's not actually the stone.
Speaker 1: It's just a story. You don't have to will I
Speaker 1: don't know. I got over my Avengers thing because I
Speaker 1: realized that somebody who likes the Marvel comics I should
Speaker 1: probably just try to you know, stuff, and The Winter
Speaker 1: Soldier was an entertaining and well made film. Yes, everyone
Speaker 1: says that's one of the best, The Winter Soldier, the
Speaker 1: Captain America, when I'm also I just like Captain America
Speaker 1: because like America and freedom and stuff. So I thought that.
Speaker 1: I thought that one was pretty good. And now I
Speaker 1: liked it so much that I'm willing because I have
Speaker 1: Disney Plus to go and watch some of the other
Speaker 1: Avengers movies. I'm glad maybe we'll finally get But you
Speaker 1: know you're for me. You're one for two on this one.
Speaker 1: You're one for two. You got me a watch Winter Soldier,
Speaker 1: which I liked. Uncut gems though so much. Curse everyone's
Speaker 1: and everyone's so mean to each other. Why are they
Speaker 1: all so mean? You sound like a grandmother that watched
Speaker 1: this movie. Yeah, that's kind of what I felt like.
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't, I don't like this. They're
Speaker 1: all what the potty mouths and the being mean and yeah,
Speaker 1: because you never curse when you're not on the radio. No, no,
Speaker 1: I never do that. I look, I watched it, I
Speaker 1: gave I gave it a shot. I did like his
Speaker 1: um assistant or whatever or just the other sales lady.
Speaker 1: She was nice. I like her, the one that he
Speaker 1: is in an affair with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the U.
Speaker 1: I believe. I believe in a mobster speak, she would
Speaker 1: be referred to as a gumar. Sure right, that's I
Speaker 1: believe what you call a mistress. Yes, yes, so I
Speaker 1: believe it was his gumar. But he's not an Italian mobster,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't really make it. But there are mobsters
Speaker 1: in the movie. Yeah, I can't keep it. He's a
Speaker 1: Jewish mobster? Is there a Is there a Jewish Yiddish
Speaker 1: equivalent of a of the Italian word for mistress? Like?
Speaker 1: Is there something that I know off the top of
Speaker 1: my head? I'm just saying all right, but h And
Speaker 1: also I had never I mean that there was the
Speaker 1: scene that they're having a passover, right, wasn't that a
Speaker 1: passover dinner? Yes? Yeah, yeah, I've never been to one
Speaker 1: of those, so you gotta invite me sometime. It's not fun.
Speaker 1: You can't eat any bread, crap, that's a bad holiday.
Speaker 1: What happens to what happens to people? Like what happens?
Speaker 1: The weirdo was like me, they can't eat bread when
Speaker 1: they only I mean, this is a problem. I'm curious.
Speaker 1: Can you eat mazza? I don't think so. I don't
Speaker 1: think it has yeast in it doesn't have yeast, but
Speaker 1: it has flour y, yeah, has wheat. Yeah. I wonder
Speaker 1: if they make gluten free mazza. I'll look into it.
Speaker 1: You don't want you let me you find some gluten freemonts.
Speaker 1: I'm coming over you and missus mark A're gonna put
Speaker 1: me through my first I've never even been to a satyr,
Speaker 1: although my first girlfriend was Jewish. Actually, you'll love the
Speaker 1: main course, which is usually brisket. I mean, I do
Speaker 1: love briskets. It is interesting. Brisket is a staple of
Speaker 1: sort of Jewish cultural cuisine as well as southern barbecue. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It is a weird crossover but made completely differently, right right, yeah, interesting.
Speaker 1: You're in the freedom. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

Speaker 1: you gotta give me a first name, because I can't.
Speaker 1: I don't want to introduce on air. You know, Patriot
Speaker 1: gun collector nine five five seven rites in you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, we need to just give me
Speaker 1: a name, a first name of some kind, or I
Speaker 1: guess I could just make names up all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna be named Bob and Susie. Those are reason
Speaker 1: why I go toos Bab and Susie very quest. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well not but not a yuper necessarily right. I said it, right,
Speaker 1: you did. I learned things I'll ever forget. When someone
Speaker 1: on this show, it was like my mind was blown.
Speaker 1: It was years ago. Someone's like, Buck, you've been saying
Speaker 1: the state that Las Vegas is in the wrong way
Speaker 1: your whole life. You need to change, And I was like,
Speaker 1: no way. It turns out, yeah it's Nevada. It is
Speaker 1: not Nevada. A lot of New Yorkers say Nevada, though
Speaker 1: I will have you know, but it is Nevada. So
Speaker 1: I learned how to say it properly. See I learned.
Speaker 1: I learned things from doing the show all the time.
Speaker 1: I learned what a yuper is. For example, where are
Speaker 1: we on this one book? Oh yes, Robert Buck. I
Speaker 1: think the reason the left one after General Flynn could
Speaker 1: be very simple and shallow. He led the locker up
Speaker 1: chant at the convention, which started a movement. He became
Speaker 1: a target when he supported Trump and was prioritized when
Speaker 1: he led the chant and it went viral. Robert Obama
Speaker 1: was a very thin skinned individual, very not you know,
Speaker 1: not good at handling criticism. And I remember once there
Speaker 1: was something with some journalists. I think someone did a
Speaker 1: cartoon or something and they Obama didn't like the way
Speaker 1: that his ears were depicted. This was from journalists a
Speaker 1: long time, and he made you know, it made a
Speaker 1: big thing of this, like don't do that. And I
Speaker 1: mean it was a political cartoon, Like they exaggerate people's features,
Speaker 1: that's what they do. So Obama has always been somebody
Speaker 1: who's not able to take criticism and really hasn't had
Speaker 1: to take much criticism. Has really gone through his professional
Speaker 1: life and political life being told by everyone around him,
Speaker 1: at least on his side of the political spectrum as
Speaker 1: a Democrat, how wonderful he is and how brilliant and
Speaker 1: amazing he is, and that does not make for somebody
Speaker 1: that deals well with opposition voices and people saying, you know,
Speaker 1: you're not that great on this thing or that thing,
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1: But they just really didn't like Flynn. They really didn't
Speaker 1: like him. You know, That's a part of it. And
Speaker 1: you think about it, who else as a head of
Speaker 1: one of the three letter agencies wasn't really a deep
Speaker 1: state kind of guy at that phase, right, Flynn was
Speaker 1: the odd man out. You look at people from CIA, FBI,
Speaker 1: d O, j NSA, you know they're all doing the
Speaker 1: bidding of the of the establishment national security apparatus. Flynn
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a wild card for them.
Speaker 1: And then he went after Obama a little bit and
Speaker 1: then just just a little bit by the way, a
Speaker 1: little bit a little bit, chip Buck, huge fan been
Speaker 1: listening from the beginning, Wow Original Saturday Squad oh SS.
Speaker 1: Just catching up on Friday's episodes and have to say,
Speaker 1: out of all the Ben Stiller movies, the Heartbreak Kids
Speaker 1: has to be up there in the top three. Funny
Speaker 1: as hell, keep up the good work, Shields high. Not
Speaker 1: that you're like this special Jewish correspondent, but I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of ask you a lot of questions to say, Mark,
Speaker 1: what is the Ben Stiller movie The Heartbreak Kids? I
Speaker 1: have not seen it, but I will report. Did you
Speaker 1: see that his father, Jerry Stiller passed away today? Oh?
Speaker 1: I did not see that. Man. That's I know. He's
Speaker 1: from the Seinfeld. He's from Seinfeld, He's from King of Queens.
Speaker 1: He was one of the best category characters in both
Speaker 1: of those shows. I'm sorry to hear that. How old
Speaker 1: with you? Ninety two? So he died peace four he went,
Speaker 1: He went the full distance, which is always Then you
Speaker 1: can have a you know, it's sad, but you can
Speaker 1: have a celebration of someone's life at ninety two. It's
Speaker 1: not like someone when they're you know, thirty. So I mean,
Speaker 1: not that that's particularly helpful, I'm sure to his family
Speaker 1: right now, but I just you know, God bless and
Speaker 1: a man who lived a good life and did a
Speaker 1: lot of good work. Mark. Hello, Buck, I heard a
Speaker 1: prediction that Adam Shift will submit articles of impeachment on A. G. Barr,
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on this? I mean that's not
Speaker 1: going anywhere. There's there's no way that's gonna do much
Speaker 1: of anything. So yeah, that's just gonna be shift being shift.
