WEBVTT - The Obamagate Plot Thickens 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:15.160 You are entering the Freedom hug, the Obama Gate reckoning, 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:20.360 the Swoosh recovery, how the Libs lie about bar and Pompeo? 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:25.479 Is China hacking our vaccine research? And Trump retweets the 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:29.160 Buckster six times on Sunday morning. This is the bus 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.519 Sexton Show where the mission where mission is to decode 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:39.800 what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, You're 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:44.960 a great American Again the buck Sexton Show begins, Cia Analyst, 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:53.040 He's a great guy. No, Welcome to buck Sexton Show. Everybody. 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.319 Thank you so much for joining on this Monday in 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.840 the middle of May. It does not feel like it 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:00.720 normally would this time of year, because we are in 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.839 the midst of this continued battle to get our lives back. 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.880 The good news that I have for you today is 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:12.319 that there are some signs of real progress here. The 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:16.440 stories that we were told about Georgia, for example, well, well, 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.040 let's actually step back for a moment. With Florida, we 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.119 were told that they were moving too late and so 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:26.800 they would hit catastrophe. Turned out that was not the case. 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.440 With Georgia. We were told they were moving too early 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:35.679 to reopen, and so they would hit catastrophe. Turned out 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.480 that's not the case. In fact, Governor Brian Kemp shared 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:44.080 just a couple of days ago that today marks the 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:50.040 lowest number of COVID nineteen positive patients hospitalized nationwide since 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.840 hospitals began reporting this data on April eighth. Today also 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.400 marks the lowest total of ventilators in use eight hundred 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.720 ninety seven with one nine hundred and forty five available. 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:05.000 We will win this fight together. So Georgia is now 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:09.120 fifteen days into it's reopened. We've started to have some 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:14.160 businesses getting back on their feet, and I want to 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:15.760 talk more about what this is going to look like 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.760 across the country. But the team Apocalypse, as our friend 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.560 of the show Alex Barrenson calls them, the shutdown Forever 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.959 a chorus is losing ground because one, shutdown forever is crazy, 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:32.720 and two the data does not support it. The data 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:37.560 does not support at this juncture the continued state by 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.440 every state lockdown that we've seen. And that's why the 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:45.280 states that are beginning to reopen are doing better than 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.320 was anticipated. Better than was expected. You shouldn't have any 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.720 surprise with that. But I will get more into the 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.240 what has been called in the Wall Street Journal. The 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.720 swoosh shaped recovery, which, let me tell you, is not 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.320 that easy to say on a radio show, should be 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.360 not A V shape. V shape will be the best. 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.680 A swoosh is not is going to require a little 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.919 more patience, and we'll get to that later on the show. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.880 And then also just the medium moufeasance on display over 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.399 the weekend was like nothing else you could imagine. I mean, well, 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.320 I guess it's like the media always is. But they 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.240 got They got caught with their hands in the cookie jar. 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.960 Not a once, I'll but a twice. Well maybe that 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.400 was in the spaghetti plate, not the cookie jar, but 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:28.920 you know what I mean, they got it. They got 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:33.560 a cought two at times. So we will we'll get 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:37.360 into that. We'll talk about why they keep making mistakes 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.760 only in one direction and anti Trump, and then expect 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.400 us to think that these are good faith errors. M 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.800 I don't think so. But I want to start with 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.720 what I think is the or I should say, transition. 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.720 This isn't really the start anymore, is it. Team. I 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.280 missed you over the weekend. I had way too much 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.160 time in my hands to read finish up some research 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.920 on the mall to podcast, which producer Mark will remind 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.480 me of today if I don't say it out loud. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.560 So it is coming. Even the snow Princess has said, 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.320 where is your multi podcast because she wants to hear it, 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.840 And I'm like, it's just going to be me sitting alone, 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.920 drinking mescal and talking about a battle from over five 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.880 hundred years ago, from five hundred or so years ago, 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:19.560 and we'll see if anyone likes it. And she's like, 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.359 do it. So there is no do do or do not, 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.159 There is no try. That's where I am on this, 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.360 So it is coming. But over the weekend there was 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.880 just a lot of watching of movies and reading and 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:33.960 doing research. And the most interesting story to me is 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.240 really taking us back to the beginnings of the Trump 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.599 presidency and the opposition to him and the hashtag resistance 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.880 and much of what we have been talking about since 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.520 well honestly since this show went into national syndication, which 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.120 was now for it's kind of stunning, but it was 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.840 four years ago, which had to do with the deep 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.120 state plot, the coup against the president United States. This 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:58.600 is what this is what they were doing. I mean, 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:02.640 they tried to find a mecca a legal mechanism for it. 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.840 They abused power, They certainly broke regulations, and they broke 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.200 faith with the American people and with the Constitution. But 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.279 we now know beyond any doubt that there were people 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.840 in the very top echelon of the federal government. When 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.279 I say beyond any doubt, we have proof we've known 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.200 for years. Go back and listen to what I was 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.000 saying about the Flynn prosecution a year or two, two 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.760 and a half years ago. Right, this is not a 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.920 surprise to anyway. So there's a part of us that 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.960 we're just seeing what we have known, what we have 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.560 believed all along here to be confirmed by the evidence, 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.760 the evidence from the disclosures now from federal court, and 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.599 as we know, the dropping by the DOJ of the 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.159 case against General Flynn, which came from a career not 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:53.839 a not a political appointee, a career DOOJ guy, that 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.520 has shown us that we were right, of course, and 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.960 that everything that we had thought about the other side 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:03.719 was true, and now we have now we have actual 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.480 documentation of it. Now it's not just this is what 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.520 would make sense knowing what we know and knowing who 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.960 they are and what they're trying to achieve. This is 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.440 no longer a theory. This is fact. This is fact 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:20.880 that they went after Flynn in a way that was egregious, wrong, 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.920 full of lies and dishonesty, and that it was all 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:29.239 a part of this broader effort to destroy the Trump 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:34.400 administration using this complete fabrication. It really is a fabrication 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:41.520 of the Russia collusion fantasy. And look, I think that 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.760 Sidney Powell says it quite well here, and I don't 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.040 want to get to you know, she's the lawyer who 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.440 the establishment was, you know, thumbing their nose at and 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.720 mocking for a long time. You're, Oh, she's all these 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.280 so called legal experts at the different sites and on 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.039 CNN and MSNBC, you know, feeding their ignorant, left wing 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:05.360 moron viewership as much anti Flynn bile as they possibly 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.880 could all the time. Why do people hate General Flints? 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.720 What did the guy even? Do they? They even if 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:17.280 you believe what they believe, he he fibbed about a unimportant, 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:21.119 non criminal nonsense, some FBI guys who did a sneak 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.040 attack on him. You think that's worth ruining somebody's life 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:29.400 over the Bill Clinton. Defenders of the Democratic Party think 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.240 that ruining Flynn's life over there. Remember Clinton lied about 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.200 a whole bunch of things. He told It was more 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.320 than just the Oh he lied about sex, that's that's 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:40.880 an idiots line. He lied about multiple things. He also 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:44.240 told people to lie on his behalf while there was 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.960 an investor, while I was a special counsel investigation going 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:50.680 on of him. So he was up. That is obstructing justice, right, 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.720 He was doing all these things. But they just said, oh, 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:54.440 he lied about sex, and they made it go away. 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.160 They want to ruin Flynn's life, and you say, why 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.920 what did he do? And that's a very instant question. 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.840 Actually why did he upset them so much? Because I'm 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:09.240 building all of this too. Obama's role. Why did Obama 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:14.920 escape any of the major criticism, any of the focus 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.680 and this whole thing. Who was the president, who was 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.400 running the White House, who is at the top of 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:25.320 the government food chain when this whole thing was going on, 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.840 Barack husaying Obama, who was getting briefed about some of 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.720 these moves, including the move on Flynn and the phone 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:38.840 call and all this stuff. Obama. You know, I think 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:43.760 that we often lose sight of how immune to real 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:49.640 criticism and transparency and opposition the Obama administration was the 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.440 media as dishonest and disgusting as they are still very powerful, 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.160 and they completely prostrated themselves in front of Barack Obama. 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:01.480 They begged for him to just say a nice word 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.240 about them or just wink in their in their direction. 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.079 It was gross. And that's why it's no surprise that 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.880 the media, I mean now when I say that they're 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.560 dishonest and horrible, and they complain so much about Trump, 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:17.959 I turned around and look at this and say, well, 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.400 given what we know about how they were acting under Obama, 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:24.400 this is just the This is just the exact opposite 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.959 reaction that they're having. This is an opposite thing. It's 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:32.440 opposite day, that's what they're doing. But Obama was able 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.439 to escape the eye or even of conservatives for the 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:36.920 most part on this one. And you know, we had 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.319 a piece on buck sexton dot com based on my 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.840 analysis here on this show and what I've also tweeted 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.840 out that you know, the buck stops with Obama essentially 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.719 that there's no way that you can know that this conspiracy, 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:54.960 that this soft coup occurred and not view Obama as 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:59.679 somehow involved and ultimately responsible. And then the question just 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:04.319 becau how much was it directed by him? You know, 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.880 was this on his watch and he bears responsibility or 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.839 was this at his behest? And so these people were 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:15.920 really just tools O then Obama vendetta against Flynn. There 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.679 is plenty of evidence to suggest now that that may 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.040 have been the case. And we know for a fact, 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:27.079 based on the events here that there was bad faith, 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.240 abuse of power, and illegality even behind the scenes to 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.280 take down Flynn. And Obama knew about that bad faith 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.439 and people around him were acting on it, and he 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:41.480 didn't do anything about it. So he's at least somewhat guilty, 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.400 and I mean directly guilty of this takedown of Flynn. 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.760 Now we're just trying to figure out how guilty. And 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.040 that's where Sidney Powell, the Flynn lawyer, who you know, 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.560 she gets we gotta give her a hand, we gotta 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.000 give her some applause here. I know she appears on 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:56.800 a lot of shows, a lot of radio shows and 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.040 Fox all the time. I mean, I might have her here, 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.760 but I feel like they're guests who you're seeing so 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.240 much of on TV that I mean, I value all 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.440 of my time with you. And so if I feel 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.840 like someone's done, you know, one hundred interviews in five 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.160 days or something, I'm not always that keen to be like, well, 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.199 let me ask you the same questions everybody else does. 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.199 But maybe we'll maybe we'll ask her to come on. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.760 And I've I've been aware of her work for a while. 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.000 I've been supporting it. I mean, I was tweeting at 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.520 the president pardon General Flynn. I mean, I could go 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.880 back in the archives and check, but maybe hear maybe 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.400 two years ago. I mean, I've been saying, we got 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.240 to get this done. But here's what Sidney pal back 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.599 to the Obama responsibility in all this, which this is, 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.480 my friends, this is the third rail. This is the 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.480 nuclear reactor that will melt down if you get too 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.920 close to it. For the Libs, they will completely lose 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:48.640 their minds. Who's who's really the the standard bearer of 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:50.760 the Democratic Party. I don't care that Joe Biden is 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.719 their nominee. Who do they rally around and point to 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:58.040 and say, see, this is what democratic the Democratic Party's 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.959 really all about. It's not Hillary Clinton any more, it's 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.480 not Joe Biden. It's still Barack Obama. So as a 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.360 symbol for the Democrats. He's very important, and as a 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:12.040 not necessarily kingmaker because he wouldn't step in and say 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.120 he was going to be on team Biden here, but 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:18.079 certainly as an influential figure in the Democratic Party. But 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.960 even more than that, the story the mythology of Obama 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.600 for decades, You're going to hear people on the left, 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.000 Democrats who are trying to turn this country socialist, who 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.880 appoint to Obama as that sort of modern FDR like 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.880 the paragon of Democrat party virtue for a long time thereafter. 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.959 And that's why they get so testy about it. That's 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.200 why they get so touchy when you bring up anything 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.640 that happened with him, and hear anything that President Obama 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:49.000 himself may have done that was not acceptable, that was 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:54.320 a problem. Here's Sidney Powell, lawyer for General Flynn, given 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.160 her analysis of this one play three. So then they 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.160 dispatch coming the very next morning to brief President and 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.040 Trump only on the salacious aspects of the dossier on 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.040 January sixth, to set the news hook for BuzzFeed and 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.600 CNN to run with the dossier they knew was a lie. 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.559 Then Peter Struck is watching CNN report on that and 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.520 text about he and pre steps sitting there watching it 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.720 and using it as a pretext to go interview some people. 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.040 So the whole thing was orchestrated and set up within 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.760 the FBI clapper Brennan and in the Oval Office sating 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.600 that day with President Obama. So you think this goes 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.840 all the way up to the top to President Obama. Absolutely, 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:38.599 it absolutely does. The only question that remains is not 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:43.640 whether Barack Obama was in on it. It's whether Barack 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:49.000 Obama was the one directing the whole thing. Because if 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.000 you read a news story about some European country where 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:56.080 after a fair election, the outgoing president used his last 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.839 week's in office to target incoming officials and sabotage the 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:05.240 new administration, you'd be appalled. But it happened here, my friends, 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:12.160 and half the country thinks it was just fine. You're 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.920 in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:22.000 Show podcast. You can tell that they're getting a little 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.920 bit closer than Obama's comfortable with on this whole thing. 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:32.680 You can tell because he's speaking out now. The legacy 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:38.280 is in jeopardy. Now, the mythology of Obama has come 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.560 into question. He was, as they called him in the 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:45.440 media for years, no drama. Obama so deliberative in all 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:53.120 of his h' talk about this some time. Uh, you know, 0:14:54.800 --> 0:15:00.440 I'm gonna take ten minutes to say anything. And they 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.320 were always talking about he was a genius, He's perfect, 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.160 you never do anything wrong. And you know, there were 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.720 some parts of you know, of Obama's presidency that I 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.360 think are are unassailable and that he was you know, 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.560 he seemed like a good dad and husband and a 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.560 good family man. You know, how much is that really 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.960 a part of the presidency You could discuss, you know, 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.560 how much of that is relevant? But you know there 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.680 are things I don't attack, things about Obama that I 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.960 think we weren't you know, either either were praised, were 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.600 theyre weren't a problem? His conduct in this matter is horrific. Okay, 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:31.920 the fact that he allowed General Flynn, a thirty year 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.680 plus military veteran who had served under Obama as chief 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:39.360 of the d IA, and they had some some vendetta 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.560 against him, and he allowed this to go forward. He's 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:45.160 absolutely disgraceful and horrific. And that's why Obama in this 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.920 phone call, this was published. This is audio a phone 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.600 call with Obama and his three thousand person like team Obama. 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.080 I don't know what exactly they're called. But these people 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.320 that all are still unlike the Obama proucer mark, what's there? 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.800 Do we know what they're officially? Like? Who was on 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:01.720 the phone and then there was three thousand people. They're 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.120 obviously all Democrats, and they're all like Obama. They like 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.760 worship this guy. But there's some term they have for them. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.640 They're like the Obama you know, I don't know something 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:18.440 Obama squad um. But here's what he said about President 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:23.600 Trump and his coronavirus response play nine. It would have 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:27.000 been even with the best stoke governments, it has been 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:38.080 an absolute chaotic disaster. When that mindset of what's it 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:43.480 for me and to heck with everybody else, when that 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:51.480 mindset is operationalized in our go that's that's taking a 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:55.640 shot directly at Trump. And I mean it's not even 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.160 an it's not even an intelligent analysis of the situation. 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:02.600 I mean to say that, you know, because of what's 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.359 like Trump is what's in it for me? What are 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:06.679 we are? We're now going to do the same thing 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.000 we do with the Trump hotel. Oh, he's selling cheeseburgers 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.520 to people they must own they must own Trump now 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:17.560 because he's selling them cheeseburgers. Uh, this is um, Yeah, 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.320 this is the president's being to former members of his 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.959 administration to rally behind Joe Biden. I don't know there 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.119 were some. Yeah, it's basically like the It's basically like 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.600 team Obama. I mean, I don't know what it's. He like, 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:32.159 has this group of people that are all former Obama 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:35.800 folks that he talks to on the phone. Anyway. Obama 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.520 also went on to say that the the Justice Department, 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.800 you know that justice itself is at risk here because 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.639 of this m He must know that this is going 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:46.760 to leak out. This is not a surprise, So he's 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:50.760 he's taking he's taking shots at Trump now but pretending 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.560 that he's not. Kind of you know, this is the 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.240 This is one of these old political tricks where you know, 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.920 I would never speak about how you know, my my 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.960 opponent is actually a terrible human being and nobody should 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.639 ever vote for him. That would be beneath me. But 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.600 here's what I'm gonna tell you about Obama. He's never 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.359 been up against somebody like Trump. He's only been up 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.680 against McCain's and Romneys, and people who weren't willing to 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.880 really fight, weren't willing to really say what they thought 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.440 about a situation or an individual, and don't care what 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:24.800 the media says about their you know, their commentary. So 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.679 you know, Obama is not a political brawler, my friends. 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:34.159 He was very, very taken care of and held up 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.520 and protected by the media. If he starts throwing some 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.680 some jabs at Trump, he might find himself on the 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.760 other side of a rhetorical haymaker pretty quickly. It might 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:48.520 get pretty rough for Obama. But you know what Obama's ego, 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.040 he won't He won't be able to resist. Thanks for 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.840 listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.360 on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:04.560 your podcast. You know, this is disgusting. It's something that 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.040 we've been exposing and fighting to get the truth out 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.760 for a long time. You know, we're talking years to 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.320 try to get the facts out on this. The FBI 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.600 and some of the pulledovers in the Justice Department, we're 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:18.800 trying to hide this from getting out. Adam Schiff was 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.720 trying to mislead people about what was going on here. 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.280 But this was a set up by some real dirty 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:28.840 cops within the FBI and the Justice Department. And how 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.480 high does it go? They are very serious questions being 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:33.400 raised about whether it goes all the way to the top. 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.680 And did Barack Obama and did Vice President at the 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:40.760 time Joe Biden know about this and encourage it to happen? Lett? 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.320 And let it happened, because, as you pointed out, the 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:46.800 FBI had previously made a decision not to go forward 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:49.159 with a prosecution of General Flynn because he didn't do 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.119 anything wrong, and instead a few of the dirty cops 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.639 wanted to set them up because they ultimately wanted to 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:58.120 take down Donald Trump, even after he was duly elected 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.080 President of United States. Nothing behind it, There was no 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.439 evidence except the Russian disinformation that came from the Steel dossier, 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:10.000 which was fueled by a Democratic Party operatives Hignord Clinton's campaign. 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:14.199 This is disgraceful. It's even worse than that. I mean, 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:18.240 Stave Scaliz is right, but it's worse than that. We 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.399 now have these And I spent my weekend because I 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.200 know how to ain't no party like a team Buck party, 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:27.240 because a team Buck party reads a lot of government 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.560 documentation off of dot gov websites so that he can 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.879 do a good radio show. The US House of Representatives 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:38.840 Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has now Hipsie has now 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:44.080 posted the Russia investigation transcripts and documents from twenty seventeen 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.720 and twenty eighteen. And now you have to skip past 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:51.119 the fact that the way it's it's offered to you, 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.920 the way it's presented because the Democrats are in the 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:57.639 majority of the House, is like an MSNBC screed, So 0:20:57.680 --> 0:20:59.359 you have to avoid that. It's you know, Adam Schiff 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:03.560 was this okay, this is terrible. I hate Trump the 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:11.560 usual cold eyed nonsense, lies and lies and just he's 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:16.040 such an odious, grotesque little man. The Adam Schiff, very 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:20.440 bad fellow. Really not somebody, not somebody you'd want your family, 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.320 your kids, your friends, anybody around. Not not a good guy. 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:27.480 But here it is. I mean, because I don't think 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:29.560 you could be a good person and ruin someone's life 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.240 for politics, like general like ruined someone like General Flynn, 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.120 along if many others. You know, we're focused on Flynn 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:36.960 right now. Look what they did to Carter Page, Look 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:39.080 what they did to Papadopoulos. Look what they did to 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:41.840 Roger Stone. Roger Stone's going to prison for four years. 0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:46.040 They say that's not enough. These people are sociopaths. They 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:48.960 do not feel other human beings pain. They do not feel, 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:53.520 They do not understand the damage that they do. In fact, 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:55.600 they revel in it. They think that it's justified. It's 0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:57.400 even worse than that. I'm sure somebody you would write 0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.040 me that right now if you could. Oh, no, Buck, 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:00.880 it's not that they can't feel. They like the pain 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:04.520 the others feel. They like the ruination of Roger Stone 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:11.800 and Manafort and Gates and all these different individuals. Now, 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:14.879 I would want to say here, there's the difference between 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:19.440 what justice demands and what makes wild eyed partisans feel good. 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:22.520 You know, Manaford didn't pay his taxes. Should Maniport get 0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:26.520 in trouble? Yes? Was he treated horribly because and I'm 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:28.600 also somebody who thinks, I know this might be a 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:31.399 little controversial. You know, I think you cheat on your 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:33.680 taxes the first time, they take all the money owed 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:36.879 and they take a huge fine out of you. I 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:38.480 don't know if you go to prison for a long 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:40.280 time for that. I mean, I'm not sure that I'm 0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:42.040 okay with that. In fact, I'm not okay with it. 0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:44.240 So I know some of you may have made disagree 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:46.000 with me on that. But you know, you cheat on 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:50.160 your taxes, you should you should have to pay restitution 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:53.879 and a big fine. You do it again, maybe you 0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:55.919 know they have to lock you up for a little bit, 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:57.439 but you do it the first time. I think everybody 0:22:57.480 --> 0:22:59.320 gets I think you get a one. I mean that 0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:01.399 fine should hurt. I mean basically, whatever the money was 0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:03.320 he didn't pay, he'd probably double it. Right. But anyway, 0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:04.520 I don't want to get too far into this. I 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:08.640 just think that we all agree that taxation is theft, right, 0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:12.480 and it's legalized theft, but it's it's crazy, and there's 0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:15.159 so much of it going on, and the government is 0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:18.399 spending your money in ways that are debasing the hours 0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:20.960 of labor and all of the assets that you have. 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:23.320 I mean, we don't see it and feel it in 0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:26.600 real time, but it is happening. But anyway, they want 0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:28.800 to destroy people. Sorry, I was getting a little too 0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:31.280 ron Swanson there with taxations. That we'll talk about that 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:34.679 another day, probably July fifteenth, which is now the new 0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:38.080 tax day for this year. But they destroy people. They 0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:40.040 don't care about the fact that they're destroying people, and 0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:45.360 really they celebrate it. I read through some of these 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:46.639 trans there's a lot of them. I read through some 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:49.760 of the transcripts over the weekend. One of the better ones, well, 0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:52.760 there's there's a whole bunch of them. But one of 0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:55.639 the better ones is, you know, you read through a 0:23:55.720 --> 0:24:00.200 carter page and you read through Donald Trump Junior, and 0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:03.439 you read through Sally Yates. We'll get back to Sally Yates, 0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:09.159 Brad Parscal. You know, just so many people, and a 0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:11.240 lot of them were I believe, paying their own medical bills, 0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:15.000 not meta sorry, legal bills, not medical billows whoops, legal 0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:18.679 bills in this process, Corey Luandow's game. And you can 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:25.159 read all these very long, very long interview transcripts, and 0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:30.960 here's what comes across. They knew that there was no 0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:34.280 Russia collusion, that there was nothing there, and there were 0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:41.600 people who were interviewed here under oath, including McCabe and well, 0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:43.800 I mean, obviously Adam Schiff had had all these people 0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:46.840 talking under you know, speaking under oath about things they 0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:50.680 behind closed doors. We're saying one thing, and Shift and 0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:52.880 other Democrats were hearing it, which was that there's nothing. 0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:55.320 They don't have anything, there's no Russia collusion. And then 0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:57.320 they go right out, I mean shift would go right 0:24:57.359 --> 0:25:01.119 out on MSNBC, on a TV and say, oh, there's 0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:06.240 definitely collusion evidence out there, and it's it's persons. Is 0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:12.320 a fraud, he's a liar. He should resign, should no 0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:18.240 longer be an office. It's a disgrace, a disgrace what 0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:23.080 he did. And many others, too many others. These people 0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:26.600 should lose their positions. They won't because they were doing 0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:34.159 the dirty work of their partisan apparatus. Representative Lee Zeldon, 0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:38.359 for example, is out there saying that Schiff should resign. 0:25:38.400 --> 0:25:42.359 In fact, play clip seven. Well, Adam Schiff should not 0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:45.480 be the chair of the House Intelligence Committee. His gavel 0:25:45.520 --> 0:25:48.640 should be removed, he should be censured, he should resign. 0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:52.920 There's there's a lot that should happen, But Nancy Pelosi 0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:56.960 isn't going to punish Adam Schiff. In fact, that's the 0:25:57.080 --> 0:25:59.240 reason why he has the gavel in the first place. 0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:02.160 He's the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, which became 0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:06.719 the House Impeachment Committee because of the way he writes 0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:11.960 these fairytale parodies, because of the Russian investigation and became 0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:16.840 the impeachment push. It's actually one that the Democrats reward, 0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:18.919 it's one that the media rewards. So I'm not going 0:26:18.960 --> 0:26:24.480 to expect any repercussions, even though he should resign today. Yep, 0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:27.000 that's all correct. He should resign today. He will not 0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:31.000 resign today. And I'm also warning you right now there 0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:34.280 will not be any real justice I think here for 0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:38.720 any of the people that attempted the coup will effectively 0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:43.080 get away with the attempt. They weren't successful, but they 0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:45.359 will not really be punished for the attempt. Sure, Struck 0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:49.320 was fired, McCabe was fired. That's some punishment. Those are 0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:52.399 people struck in page. I'm sorry, struck in mccabean page. 0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:56.959 These are people who locked up individuals countless times over 0:26:57.000 --> 0:27:00.960 the years for non violent crimes, frauds, white collar crimes 0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:05.679 of you know, accounting frauds, male fraud, why or fraud. 0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:08.760 Send people to prison for that. Just remember that they 0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:14.160 they were fine with other people with near victimless crimes, 0:27:14.240 --> 0:27:16.480 never mind even getting into like insider trading stuff. With 0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:20.720 near victimless crimes, they would send people to prison separated 0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:23.480 from their family. They're fine, and they try to undo 0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:28.119 the results of a presidential election, and they're not going 0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:29.800 to get punished really at all. They're not going to 0:27:29.840 --> 0:27:32.080 spend a day in prison. I mean, McKay blot under 0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:33.640 Oathen is getting away with it. That's just the deep 0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:36.760 state privilege. That's just when you're when the people that 0:27:36.920 --> 0:27:39.480 still run these different offices, you know, you don't even 0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:41.200 know their names. I mean, I remember what this is 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:43.720 like from the CIA, when the people that are in 0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:47.080 charge of the different subcomponents, not even just the director level, 0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:50.040 but below that, when they think you're one of theirs, 0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:54.119 you're gonna get the better you're gonna get, not just 0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:57.160 the benefit of down. You're gonna get a pass. If 0:27:57.200 --> 0:27:59.840 you speak out against the ATU institution though, or if 0:27:59.880 --> 0:28:04.200 you are a political problem for them, they will string 0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:07.040 you up and rip you apart and annihilate you. I mean, 0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:12.960 they just will absolutely destroy you. So McCabe gets away 0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:18.680 with this. McCabe gets away with this. Yeah, that's that's 0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:21.280 what I don't think. Unfortunately, the part of this that 0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:24.920 we really need more information on would be the the 0:28:25.119 --> 0:28:30.119 Obama direct President Obama himself his involvement in all of this, 0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:33.640 and I just think that that's gonna be There's there's 0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:38.080 no incentive for the people who would really know to 0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:42.800 come forward. There's no incentive for those who would have 0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:45.200 been in that room in that overlaw. What Komey and 0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:51.480 Yates and Clapper and Brennan, Clapper, Brennan, these guys were 0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:54.000 going behind closed doors and saying, no, we didn't have 0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:57.320 any Russia collusion information. And then they're going on TV, Oh, 0:28:57.440 --> 0:29:02.000 I knew there was Russia collusion. I can't imagine being 0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:06.400 such a liar, such a liar if I go on 0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:09.120 TV and I get a fact wrong, I beat myself 0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:11.640 up for days afterwards, and I'm like, how could you 0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:14.360 have been such an idiot? And that's just an accident, right, 0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.360 I can't imagine going on and saying something of this 0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:20.280 kind of a momentous issue, like whether the president the 0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:23.280 United States stole the election and as a traitor, and 0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:26.400 you were the former head of the of the CIA, 0:29:26.520 --> 0:29:28.440 or you were the director of National Intelligence and you 0:29:28.600 --> 0:29:31.040 know because you've been behind closed doors, never mind just 0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:33.440 the intelligence you had access to, but you've heard the 0:29:33.520 --> 0:29:37.480 investigation and the questions, and now you're just gonna pretend, 0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:42.320 you're just gonna lie, just gonna be a huge, disgusting 0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:47.160 liar and get rewarded for it. People like Comey have 0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:50.520 effectively been rewarded. I mean Comey is making tons of money. 0:29:51.160 --> 0:29:56.400 Democrats everywhere basically weep. You know, female Democrats think Comy 0:29:56.600 --> 0:30:00.400 is some dream boat. I mean, it's disgusting. But here 0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:04.400 we are, here, we are, we know the truth. Now 0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:08.520 will we get justice? I think the answer is probably not, 0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:12.320 but we'll see. But we go back to it Obama Gate. 0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:15.400 What did he know? When did he know it? And 0:30:15.600 --> 0:30:19.880 let's not give him this false invulnerability anymore where you 0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:25.640 can't really criticize Obama. Oh no, so came Brennan Clapper, Yates, 0:30:26.160 --> 0:30:29.760 all these people, Lauretta Lynch, all these people. We're in 0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:36.320 on it, and we're being completely and utterly corrupt. But 0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:39.920 Obama was above approach. He was above all this. None 0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:43.080 of us believe that we know that's a lie. How 0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:44.760 much of it can we prove? That's what we have 0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:50.320 to see. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the 0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:57.280 Buck Sexton Show podcast. Will I say that the mainstream 0:30:57.360 --> 0:31:00.080 media is full of frauds and liars? I really mean it, 0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:02.680 because I'm not a frauder a liar. So when I 0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:05.280 tell you that it's really, really true. We had some 0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:09.320 fantastic examples of this over the weekend, I mean, really 0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:15.680 really crystal clear stuff. And they went after the two 0:31:15.800 --> 0:31:18.400 most effective members of the Trump cabinet, and certainly the 0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:22.240 two most effective not just at their posts, but also 0:31:22.320 --> 0:31:27.400 a dealing with the media, the media garbage. So the 0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:30.000 left is all upset because they really wanted General Flynn 0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:32.800 to be ruined and that was really important to them 0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:34.680 because this was the Remember, this was part of their 0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:38.320 whole General Flynn is he pleaded guilty. He pleaded guilty. 0:31:38.360 --> 0:31:40.400 That means he's bad and never around me. They're a 0:31:40.400 --> 0:31:43.760 bunch of like hysterical little children about this, and it 0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:45.560 turns out the whole thing was a sham and they 0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:49.040 forced to plead based on lies and pressure that they 0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:51.480 hid from the court. And it was a fix. It 0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:54.200 was like a Stalinist show trial that the fix was in. 0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:57.960 This was not about justice. Okay, so they can cry 0:31:58.000 --> 0:31:59.720 all day, but the fix was in. We know that. 0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:02.880 But now they want to go after somebody else. They 0:32:02.960 --> 0:32:06.440 want to find some way to suggest that this was wrong, 0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:10.560 that Flynn shouldn't be exonerated, that they shouldn't move past. 0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:13.160 You know that we shouldn't be able to move past 0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:18.360 that initial false guilty plea force guilty play, you know. 0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:19.920 And can I also just point out to you for 0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:21.480 a second, I haven't mentioned this on the year, but 0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:24.800 I've meant to how many times before have you seen 0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:27.160 liberals are you oh, he pleaded guilty, but that that 0:32:27.240 --> 0:32:32.040 doesn't mean anything? Tons of times? Tons of times. My 0:32:32.440 --> 0:32:36.600 friend and Coulter came on air with me recently on 0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:40.840 wr radio in New York and she said that, you know, 0:32:40.920 --> 0:32:43.719 you look at the Central Park jogger case. Those kids 0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:50.000 were on video confessing and with detail, with adult relatives 0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:52.680 present who were who were telling them, Yet tell them 0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:54.520 what happened? You know, we know, you know, you know 0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:58.960 you did bad things and they confessed on video, and 0:32:59.000 --> 0:33:02.280 we're told that those can fashions don't count. So I 0:33:02.360 --> 0:33:05.280 mean the whole Oh, they pleaded guilt, You pleaded guilty. 0:33:05.280 --> 0:33:07.040 You don't get the question anything. Now, this is a 0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:09.240 new standard that libs the left has come up with 0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:12.200 VERR Flynn, which is total crap as we know. But okay, 0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:14.680 now now I just had to note that I think 0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:16.680 that's very important for you because they have no standards 0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:18.640 once again, no standards, no principles. I mean, if these 0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:21.120 people were in charge, you know, I can tell you 0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:24.080 this right now, if whatever offense I could ever be 0:33:24.080 --> 0:33:27.760 guilty of against the state, irrespective of whether they knew 0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:29.880 my politics or not, I would want a conservative judge 0:33:29.880 --> 0:33:33.240 and not a liberal judge. Not because I think that 0:33:33.280 --> 0:33:35.880 a conservative would view me favorably in some way, but 0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:38.120 because at least a conservative believes in the law. The 0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:42.240 liberal judge maybe has some has some policy bone to 0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:45.040 pick with people, or the liberal judge, you know, views 0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:48.880 himself or herself as being part of a giant social 0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:53.280 engineering experiment of progressivism and leveraging the power that he 0:33:53.480 --> 0:33:56.240 or she has from that bench as part of that process. 0:33:57.720 --> 0:34:00.360 So you can't can't look libs, you can't try them. 0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:03.000 That's really what it comes. Can't trust libs, can't do it. 0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:11.080 Speaking of which, Chuck Todd, Chuck Todd, why this guy 0:34:11.320 --> 0:34:14.080 has a show You Meet the Press? You know, used 0:34:14.080 --> 0:34:16.640 to be Russer Show. And Russer was Russer was very 0:34:16.680 --> 0:34:18.440 widely liked in DC. I mean, he was a liberal, 0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:20.920 but he was at least he was a liberal that 0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:23.520 put on a good show of being reasonable. You know, 0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:25.799 made it made it seem to people he was a liberal, though, 0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:27.000 but he made it seem to people that he was 0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:29.200 reasonable and did a good interview. Apparently. I never really 0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:30.640 watched the show, so I don't know. So I'm just 0:34:30.719 --> 0:34:32.759 basically on and what I've read and what I know, 0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:37.080 what I've heard. But Chuck Todd is a kind of 0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:41.880 you know, mealy mouthed kind of you I don't know. 0:34:41.920 --> 0:34:44.120 I don't understand what is the appeal of Chuck Todd. 0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:45.880 I mean, you know, he's friends with people who make 0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:48.760 decisions at NBC. I guess, oh it, he'll do exactly 0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:50.520 what they tell him to do it. He's sort of yeah, 0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:52.040 he has this way with you know, well, I have 0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:54.120 varied to politics, and I really want to ask political questions. 0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:57.759 He's just I don't know, and it doesn't make sense 0:34:57.760 --> 0:35:02.120 to anybody who's paying attention to anything. But I can't 0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:05.120 imagine being Chuck Tod's audience. Yeah, this guy's really this 0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:07.160 guy's really impressive. He's really smart, he's really good on 0:35:07.239 --> 0:35:10.240 TV any of these things. The guy has no ability, 0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:12.560 no talent whatsoever, other than just sort of, you know, 0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:16.000 weaseling his way through the corporate media. Infrastructure to get 0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:21.400 into a position of influence and authority, and now we're like, oh, 0:35:21.600 --> 0:35:24.479 Chuck Todd, I'm be saving a Tapper Todd. These people 0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:28.320 with the Sunday shows are horrible. They're horrible. They're just frauds. 0:35:28.400 --> 0:35:31.120 They pretend, oh, I'm just asking the real question, doing 0:35:31.160 --> 0:35:34.719 the real journalism. They're DNC hacks and it's a joke. 0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:37.560 That's why people in my business, a lot of them 0:35:37.600 --> 0:35:40.480 watch these Sunday shows and and then then they'll like 0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:42.439 text me, say do you see this? And no, I didn't. 0:35:42.480 --> 0:35:46.120 I don't know. I'll watch the clip afterwards what I 0:35:46.200 --> 0:35:48.560 catch them being frauds, which is what we have for 0:35:48.680 --> 0:35:50.879 you coming up. But I have to take a quick 0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:52.759 for either here and then I'll come back and play 0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:54.279 with the media fraud on the other side because I 0:35:54.280 --> 0:35:57.319 got too excited about other side notes in my story. 0:35:57.400 --> 0:36:00.320 Stay with me. Thanks for listening to the bus said 0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:05.080 show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, 0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:09.000 or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, team, So, 0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:12.719 as promised, what was the most wildly dishonest thing the 0:36:12.800 --> 0:36:15.000 media did this weekend? I mean, this is a this 0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:17.640 is a competition on any given weekend, especially with the 0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:23.960 Sunday shows with the so called political journalists, their hacks, 0:36:24.360 --> 0:36:26.760 their liars, but the political journalist that run these shows, 0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:29.680 and this was a great one. This is a great 0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:32.440 one because they even had to admit, kind of like 0:36:32.640 --> 0:36:35.320 meekly and off design, well maybe we shouldn't have done this. 0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:40.800 They had to admit that this was a grotesque misrepresentation. 0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:46.240 And so with that we have Chuck Todd here referring 0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:49.080 to what the attorney general. Remember, they're all very upset 0:36:49.120 --> 0:36:52.479 about the Flint situation. They're blaming the attorney They hate 0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:55.359 Pompeo and they hate bar Right. They hate these two 0:36:55.400 --> 0:36:57.520 guys because they're smart, they're good at what they do, 0:36:58.000 --> 0:37:02.520 and they're both a big problem for attacking the Trump administration. Right. 0:37:02.560 --> 0:37:04.800 This isn't like the old days where you had Tillerson 0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:08.160 and Sessions. And I know some of you are always 0:37:08.200 --> 0:37:11.239 like Buck Sessions like this radio show, and he's such 0:37:11.239 --> 0:37:13.160 a nice guy and he's a gentleman, and I feel 0:37:13.200 --> 0:37:17.520 bad for him. He's just Sessions was not disloyal. He 0:37:17.719 --> 0:37:19.959 was just too much of a boy scout. He didn't 0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:22.319 understand what he was up against. I do not think 0:37:22.360 --> 0:37:24.440 he's a disloyal guy at all. I think he was 0:37:24.480 --> 0:37:27.439 always a big proponent of the Trump agenda, even before 0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:29.120 a lot of other people were when he was a senator. 0:37:30.280 --> 0:37:32.960 But he got rolled, he got pushed aside, and he 0:37:33.000 --> 0:37:35.640 shouldn't have on the I mean, I was in the 0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:37.880 Oval office with the President when the President said, and 0:37:37.960 --> 0:37:39.759 this broke news at the time, I don't have an 0:37:39.800 --> 0:37:43.120 attorney general. He did have an attorney general, it was 0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:46.040 Jeff Sessions, but he said I don't have one. So 0:37:46.880 --> 0:37:49.440 now he's got one with Bill Barr, who's kind of like, 0:37:49.600 --> 0:37:51.160 come on, what do you what do you yes, what 0:37:51.200 --> 0:37:52.759 do you guys think you're doing? Come on, you think 0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:54.920 you're gonna pull some over on me, kid, I've been 0:37:54.960 --> 0:37:56.880 around the block. Like that's Bill Barr, like it's just 0:37:56.960 --> 0:38:01.000 not happening. And then there's Pompeo is like, do you 0:38:01.080 --> 0:38:03.040 want to have an arm wrestling contest? Do you want 0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:04.400 to see who the big dog in the room is? 0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:07.239 You know, I'm always like, no, sir, no sir. So 0:38:08.480 --> 0:38:11.960 both great members of the cabinet. And here is how 0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:16.960 Chuck Todd represented a response that Bill Barr has on 0:38:17.640 --> 0:38:21.799 the Flynn the dropping of charges against Flynn play clip one. 0:38:23.239 --> 0:38:25.080 You brought up Bill Barr, Peggy noon, and I want 0:38:25.080 --> 0:38:28.640 you to listen to this Bill Barr answer to a 0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:31.520 question about what will history say about this way? Do 0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:34.920 you hear this answer? Take a listen twin history looks 0:38:35.000 --> 0:38:38.759 back on this decision. How do you think it will 0:38:38.760 --> 0:38:41.720 be written? Well, history's written by the winner, so Sarge 0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:47.600 depends on who's writing the history. I was struck, Peggy 0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:50.800 by the cynicism of the answer. It's a correct answer, 0:38:50.880 --> 0:38:53.600 but he's the attorney general. He didn't make the case 0:38:53.680 --> 0:38:55.920 that he was upholding the rule of law. He was 0:38:56.000 --> 0:38:58.960 almost admitting that, yeah, this is a this is a 0:38:59.040 --> 0:39:03.239 political job. I mean you just yeah. I had to 0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:05.960 let you hear the whole thing too, because understand this, 0:39:07.200 --> 0:39:11.440 they cut it in a way where it's clear, because 0:39:11.480 --> 0:39:15.080 the next sentence makes everything that Chuck Todd said untrue. 0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:17.480 And they must know this, but they're so used to 0:39:17.560 --> 0:39:20.520 getting away with this crap, they're so used to the 0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:23.560 dishonesty and not being called out on it, that sometimes 0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:26.680 they just get so they get sloppy. And you know, 0:39:27.080 --> 0:39:30.880 in the Tim Russert area, or in the era, or 0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:34.840 in the Dan Ratherer or Cronkite or these guys nobody. 0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:36.759 No one's gonna check them. No one's gonna check them 0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:38.839 on this crap. You get away with whatever they want. 0:39:39.080 --> 0:39:41.320 No one else has access to the raw tapes. No 0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:43.640 one else has access to the transcripts, right, I mean 0:39:43.840 --> 0:39:47.640 not really now? Oh no, we can see what was 0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:50.719 said in the interview, and remember this is this is 0:39:50.760 --> 0:39:55.400 what was actually said. Play clip two. When history looks 0:39:55.480 --> 0:39:59.239 back on this decision, how do you think it will 0:39:59.239 --> 0:40:01.800 be written? Well, history is written by the winner, so 0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:06.160 it's largely depends on who's writing the history. But I 0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:08.800 think a fair history would say it was it was 0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:12.319 a good decision because it it upheld the rule of law, 0:40:12.520 --> 0:40:16.240 it helped it upheld the standards of the Department of Justice, 0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:22.560 and it undid what it was an an injustice. Does 0:40:22.640 --> 0:40:26.040 that sound like what was represented to you by that 0:40:26.160 --> 0:40:29.400 Sunday Show by Chuck Todd. There he says, look, histories, 0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:31.719 it was kind of a throwaway comment, like a preamble. 0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:33.279 I mean, look, history is written by the winners. But 0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:34.719 if you want to know what I think about this, 0:40:34.920 --> 0:40:36.440 I think that it was the right move because it 0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:39.880 was the right move because it was just they took 0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:44.279 what was effectively a throwaway comment. You know, it would 0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:46.000 be like if I if I if someone asked me, 0:40:46.120 --> 0:40:48.880 what do you think about what's gone on here, you 0:40:48.920 --> 0:40:51.160 know with the flint case, and I said, look, I mean, 0:40:52.440 --> 0:40:55.400 you know, it is, it is what it is. But 0:40:55.800 --> 0:40:59.440 I think that we really need people to go get prosecuted, 0:40:59.480 --> 0:41:00.920 who did this whatever. And they just cut that out 0:41:00.960 --> 0:41:02.600 and they're like, oh, Sex and says we're done. It 0:41:02.719 --> 0:41:04.359 is what it is. It is what it is. That's 0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:07.520 all he said. It is what it is, which I 0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:08.960 don't know. I don't even know what that means. But 0:41:09.120 --> 0:41:12.160 people say it a lot. Jerry Seinfeld, right, producer Mark 0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:14.320 and his stand up, he calls it out. He's like, 0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:19.560 don't ever, don't ever do the it is what it is? Yes, correct, Buck, 0:41:19.800 --> 0:41:21.880 Yes he does, and he's right about that. There were 0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:23.759 some very there are some very good moments on that one. 0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:27.200 The it is what it is is definitely something that 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:29.880 you shouldn't you shouldn't go around saying. I try to 0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:32.960 avoid it also for a lot of people. And I 0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:35.040 never like to say this to people, but try not 0:41:35.120 --> 0:41:36.880 to say, like all the time, I'm hearing it more 0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:38.880 and more a lot of people like you know, like 0:41:39.080 --> 0:41:41.880 I mean, like there's a lot of that. Also fascinating 0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:43.759 when you hear Obama again now that he doesn't have 0:41:43.840 --> 0:41:47.800 all that the trappings of office and everything. Oh a 0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:51.719 lot of a lot of this on a lot of 0:41:51.800 --> 0:41:56.319 it on coninal talks like us. Uh, there's the little 0:41:56.320 --> 0:41:59.000 there's a lot of a lot of pauses he has 0:41:59.040 --> 0:42:01.680 as Its interesting because we were always told that he 0:42:01.760 --> 0:42:06.160 was the greatest, most gifted rhetorically gifted politician of our lifetime, 0:42:07.160 --> 0:42:09.640 of our lifetimes, I should say, and perhaps of all time. 0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:14.040 And m no false. I mean, I'm somebody that spends 0:42:14.080 --> 0:42:15.560 a lot of time doing a lot of talking without 0:42:15.560 --> 0:42:17.920 any notes and without a prompter. And I know when 0:42:18.000 --> 0:42:20.320 someone's good. I know when someone's gifted. Obama is not 0:42:20.760 --> 0:42:22.800 not even not even a little bit good good on 0:42:22.880 --> 0:42:26.240 a prompter speech. But so are a lot of actors. 0:42:27.480 --> 0:42:30.560 But I digress back to the Chuck tadd thing here, 0:42:31.680 --> 0:42:34.400 Come on, do we think that that was an accident? 0:42:35.160 --> 0:42:38.000 They cut off the next sentence where he says he 0:42:38.160 --> 0:42:42.000 answers the question clearly and says that you know, this 0:42:42.200 --> 0:42:44.360 is really what the answer is. But they took a 0:42:44.480 --> 0:42:47.320 sort of throwaway thought when he's having a conversation with 0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:50.960 a journalist and act like that's his answer to the question. 0:42:51.520 --> 0:42:54.200 You know, it would be like if somebody said, well, 0:42:54.400 --> 0:42:56.040 you know, do you believe it this might have gone up? 0:42:56.080 --> 0:42:58.680 We said, well, you know, you can never know with 0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:03.200 absolute certainty, comma. But I think that the Obama administration 0:43:03.600 --> 0:43:05.440 had this problem all the way at the very top. 0:43:05.680 --> 0:43:07.399 If they cut off the comma and just said, oh, 0:43:07.440 --> 0:43:11.040 he said, you can never really know, that is how 0:43:11.200 --> 0:43:13.640 dishonest these people are. And then they put out some 0:43:13.760 --> 0:43:17.160 little tweet on this and it's looked that was one instance. 0:43:17.719 --> 0:43:19.640 That was one instance, and then you had sixty minutes, 0:43:19.640 --> 0:43:23.960 which why do people still watch these legacy media outlets 0:43:24.000 --> 0:43:26.400 with a bunch of clowns who were not impressive, who 0:43:26.560 --> 0:43:29.560 just have inherited these huge platforms that were built over 0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:32.520 many decades when they had no competition and now they're 0:43:32.560 --> 0:43:35.640 just incumbents and there's nothing special or unique about But 0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:38.279 where so many people are habituated they want to watch, Oh, 0:43:38.400 --> 0:43:41.160 I want to watch you know, the ABC news broadcast. 0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:44.520 You really watch a news broadcast, It's thirty minutes long, 0:43:44.520 --> 0:43:46.200 and at the end that always has something about you know, 0:43:46.680 --> 0:43:50.080 someone who's like sing saving a mother duck in a 0:43:50.160 --> 0:43:52.520 pond somewhere, or you know, oh, or like look at 0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:54.960 this like happy story of like a dog reunited with 0:43:55.040 --> 0:43:59.080 this owner that they got separated for a while. That's ah, 0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:02.600 it's you know. I was an intern at CBS Eving 0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:04.399 News with Dan Rather before I ever thought i'd work 0:44:04.400 --> 0:44:06.560 in media, and I just remember just thinking everybody there 0:44:06.640 --> 0:44:10.840 was like pretty terrible. I really did not Dan Rather was. 0:44:10.920 --> 0:44:14.960 It was a was a total unimpressive bolt. And I 0:44:15.080 --> 0:44:17.440 thought that the people that worked there were kind of 0:44:17.480 --> 0:44:19.839 mean to each other, and everyone thought what they're doing 0:44:19.920 --> 0:44:21.600 is much more important though what it was. Remember this 0:44:21.680 --> 0:44:25.479 is CBSV News in two thousand, before the National Guard 0:44:25.680 --> 0:44:30.480 documents forgery scandal. But I was everyone there, I thought, oh, 0:44:30.480 --> 0:44:32.160 it was so important Dan Rather, it was so important 0:44:32.200 --> 0:44:34.040 to all put in this. I'm like, this guy's a buffoon. 0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:36.880 Why do you all listen to him? It really is 0:44:36.920 --> 0:44:42.120 like a cult. I mean some media apat apparati or apparatuses, 0:44:42.239 --> 0:44:44.919 whatever word would be hy. They're almost like a cult 0:44:44.960 --> 0:44:46.719 people believe. I mean I had some guy who's very 0:44:46.760 --> 0:44:48.600 senior guy in news media say that he thought Diane 0:44:48.640 --> 0:44:50.680 Sawyer was the most brilliant human being he'd ever met. 0:44:51.239 --> 0:44:53.080 And I was like, you're You're a senior news producer, 0:44:53.120 --> 0:44:54.120 even the guy I had been in the game for 0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:57.000 like forty years. You're a senior news producer. You sat 0:44:57.040 --> 0:45:00.960 down with you know world famous Yeah, we know world 0:45:01.040 --> 0:45:05.800 famous scientists, and you know literary geniuses and you know, 0:45:05.960 --> 0:45:08.760 I don't know chess masters and all kinds. Diane Sawyers 0:45:08.840 --> 0:45:11.120 most brilliant person. Yep, oh, most brilliant person ever. I 0:45:11.160 --> 0:45:12.680 guess it's fun to believe, you know, it's fun to 0:45:12.719 --> 0:45:15.600 live in fantasyland. But we got another instance here of 0:45:15.640 --> 0:45:18.080 the media malfeasians. I know, I know, I'm just I'm 0:45:18.160 --> 0:45:21.719 leaning into this one today. M here you get what 0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:24.000 sixty minutes this is what got me diverted because I 0:45:24.040 --> 0:45:26.480 just love to trash these legacies. These legacy outlets need 0:45:26.520 --> 0:45:28.160 to go away. I mean, I will not be happy 0:45:28.239 --> 0:45:30.719 until CNN has to be completely rebranded as like the 0:45:30.840 --> 0:45:33.120 Home Shopping Network Part two. I will not be happy 0:45:33.200 --> 0:45:36.359 until that happens. And it's gonna be a long fight 0:45:36.400 --> 0:45:39.040 because they gotta be war chest and a lot of 0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:42.000 legacy brand build up. But it's a terrible trash organization. 0:45:42.120 --> 0:45:45.000 That should should go away, it should have to close 0:45:45.040 --> 0:45:50.120 its doors. But here is sixty minutes slamming the Trump 0:45:50.160 --> 0:45:54.480 administration for something that slimming Pompeo for something that he 0:45:54.520 --> 0:46:00.080 didn't say play for. Initially President Trump praised China, but 0:46:00.200 --> 0:46:03.279 in the following weeks, testing in the US failed to 0:46:03.400 --> 0:46:07.400 catch up to the need. Vital equipment was short, bodies 0:46:07.520 --> 0:46:12.560 filled refrigerated trailers, and science was continuously challenged. And then 0:46:12.600 --> 0:46:17.760 I see the disinfectant Nazi out in a minute one minute, 0:46:18.120 --> 0:46:19.840 And is there a way we can do something like 0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:25.800 that by injection? As the US led the world in 0:46:25.960 --> 0:46:29.239 illness and death, the White House moved the focus to 0:46:29.360 --> 0:46:33.839 the Chinese government. That's where this began. Last Sunday, Secretary 0:46:33.880 --> 0:46:37.960 of State Mike Pompeo attempted to resurrect a debunked theory 0:46:38.400 --> 0:46:43.640 that the virus was man made in China. It's claiming 0:46:43.680 --> 0:46:47.320 that the Secretary of State of the United States was 0:46:47.880 --> 0:46:51.359 resurrecting a debunk theory. This is the claim that he's making. 0:46:53.000 --> 0:46:56.680 Let's hear what Secretary Pompeo actually said. And this is 0:46:56.719 --> 0:46:59.879 what CBS or what sixty minutes CBS was referencing. Play 0:47:00.400 --> 0:47:04.920 five Your Office of the DNI says the consensus, the 0:47:05.080 --> 0:47:10.040 scientific consensus, was not manmade or genetically modified. That's right. 0:47:10.120 --> 0:47:13.000 I agree with that. Yeah, I've seen their analysis. I've 0:47:13.040 --> 0:47:15.760 seen the summary that you saw that was released publicly. 0:47:16.200 --> 0:47:18.759 I have no reason to doubt that that is accurate. Okay, So, 0:47:18.920 --> 0:47:20.640 just to be cleared, you do not think it was 0:47:20.719 --> 0:47:24.839 manmade or genetically modified. I've seen what the Intelligence Committee said. 0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:26.640 I have no reason to believe that they've got it wrong. 0:47:28.600 --> 0:47:31.480 He has seen what the intelligence community says and as 0:47:31.520 --> 0:47:34.120 no reason believe it's wrong. How is that resurrecting a 0:47:34.160 --> 0:47:38.880 debunked conspiracy theory. Huh So they're a lot. So notice 0:47:38.960 --> 0:47:42.320 this is over the course of one weekend. They straight 0:47:42.400 --> 0:47:46.280 up some of the most revered, esteemed journalists and journalism 0:47:46.360 --> 0:47:51.279 platforms that exists for the mainstream journal world. And they 0:47:51.480 --> 0:47:56.920 are they flatly lie. I mean they lie about what 0:47:57.120 --> 0:48:01.640 the Attorney General said, They lie about what the Secretary 0:48:01.680 --> 0:48:03.360 of States is. These are lies. And these are the 0:48:03.400 --> 0:48:06.520 people that are doing Trump laws Trump laws. They have 0:48:06.600 --> 0:48:08.920 no honesty, they have no integrity, There are no position 0:48:08.960 --> 0:48:11.879 to be calling on anyone else for anything, but they 0:48:11.960 --> 0:48:17.400 think they do. You're in the freedom Hunt. This is 0:48:17.480 --> 0:48:24.759 the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Icon Very Goldwater went to 0:48:24.800 --> 0:48:28.200 the White House and actually told Richard Nixon that it 0:48:28.320 --> 0:48:33.120 was time to leave. That's not what we're even asking here, 0:48:33.200 --> 0:48:36.360 though I believe America would be far better off and 0:48:36.440 --> 0:48:39.680 senior citizens would be far safer and we can face 0:48:39.800 --> 0:48:42.840 this crisis far better if Donald Trump did leave office. 0:48:43.480 --> 0:48:46.239 That's not going to happen, but we'd be better off 0:48:46.320 --> 0:48:49.040 without any president. That's the morning Joe me could take. 0:48:49.080 --> 0:48:52.400 I mean, these people really have become a parody every morning, 0:48:53.120 --> 0:48:56.200 absurd the stuff that they say, and you can never 0:48:56.280 --> 0:48:59.000 forget that they I mean, Joe Scarborough was all about Trump. 0:48:59.239 --> 0:49:02.000 Trump was gray hat. I'm on a show all the time, 0:49:02.600 --> 0:49:04.640 and now it's it's personal for him. Look when you're 0:49:04.640 --> 0:49:07.800 when you're when you're a millionaire who is doing the 0:49:07.880 --> 0:49:10.600 bidding of the libs over at MSNBC every day. You 0:49:10.680 --> 0:49:14.440 know the Libs say jump, you say how high? You 0:49:14.520 --> 0:49:19.239 know that then must erode your your sense not just 0:49:19.360 --> 0:49:21.719 of self respect, but over time, your just sense of 0:49:22.080 --> 0:49:25.120 decency and that internal calm that people can draw a 0:49:25.200 --> 0:49:28.040 palm when things get tough, and you just become a 0:49:28.640 --> 0:49:34.200 shrill loon like Joe Scarborough has become which is which 0:49:34.280 --> 0:49:35.600 is a shame. I mean, this is a guy who 0:49:35.840 --> 0:49:39.080 used to be a conservative apparently now it's now. I 0:49:39.120 --> 0:49:41.759 don't know what you'd even describe him as, but he's 0:49:41.960 --> 0:49:45.719 entirely unhelpful. And while we're at this juncture of reopening, 0:49:45.800 --> 0:49:47.840 as I mentioned the top of the show, show Georgia 0:49:47.920 --> 0:49:51.880 has reopened and it is not a big, horrific disaster. 0:49:52.200 --> 0:49:54.360 We're two weeks into the Georgia reopening and they have 0:49:54.480 --> 0:49:56.360 fewer cases than they've ever had. Now, two weeks is 0:49:56.360 --> 0:49:59.399 the incubation period. So someone explained that to me, if 0:49:59.400 --> 0:50:01.879 the reopen, and with such a terrible idea, how could 0:50:01.920 --> 0:50:04.360 we be through a full incubation period of reopen and 0:50:04.440 --> 0:50:07.120 not see a big spike in cases? Right? Why why 0:50:07.120 --> 0:50:09.960 wouldn't we see this? Oh this, it's slower. It's slower, buck, 0:50:10.120 --> 0:50:11.879 Give it two more weeks, give it two more weeks, 0:50:11.960 --> 0:50:14.919 wait for the second wave. These people have been wrong 0:50:15.680 --> 0:50:18.560 about everything. You know that. Now they're writing stories about 0:50:19.160 --> 0:50:24.319 how we're facing a glut, we're facing an oversupply of ventilators. 0:50:24.920 --> 0:50:27.319 We went from a few weeks of oh my gosh, 0:50:27.360 --> 0:50:29.239 we're not gonna have ventilators. Everyone's gonna and as I 0:50:29.480 --> 0:50:32.280 was telling you, ventilators are not a particularly good treatment 0:50:32.320 --> 0:50:35.640 for this at all. Ventilators an absolute last resort because 0:50:35.680 --> 0:50:38.400 they don't know what else to do. So, you know, 0:50:38.680 --> 0:50:41.080 it wasn't like, oh, if we get enough ventilators, everybody's 0:50:41.080 --> 0:50:44.280 gonna be okay, but oh, we're gonna run out of ventilators. 0:50:44.560 --> 0:50:46.440 And then it turns out now we're gonna have We're 0:50:46.440 --> 0:50:49.399 gonna have warehouses full of ventilators that we don't even 0:50:49.400 --> 0:50:51.239 know what to do with. What are we gonna do 0:50:51.280 --> 0:50:54.920 with all these ventilators? But this is another Again they 0:50:55.000 --> 0:50:57.279 make these projections, they're wrong, and then they expect us 0:50:57.320 --> 0:51:03.120 not to care about the wrong projections. So it's very frustrating. 0:51:03.200 --> 0:51:06.200 But we see this play out over and over again, 0:51:06.320 --> 0:51:09.760 and we also now see that the people in charge 0:51:09.920 --> 0:51:12.120 they're recognizing and we're going to get to another week. 0:51:12.280 --> 0:51:15.880 On Thursday, unemployment numbers will come out. It's gonna get 0:51:16.040 --> 0:51:17.839 really ugly, my friends. It's gonna get worse. We're gonna 0:51:17.880 --> 0:51:20.280 get to at this rate, will be a thirty million 0:51:20.360 --> 0:51:23.040 unemployed probably by the end of the week, officially unemployed 0:51:23.040 --> 0:51:26.040 at least cose to maybe twenty five million, whatever the 0:51:26.160 --> 0:51:27.840 number is, I mean, the number is always less than 0:51:27.880 --> 0:51:32.840 what it actually is. And I see this, and I 0:51:33.080 --> 0:51:36.200 recognize time is not on our side, as I've been 0:51:36.200 --> 0:51:39.440 telling you with the economy. And here's Minuchin saying that 0:51:39.880 --> 0:51:42.480 it's not just a risk of like a bad economic year. 0:51:42.560 --> 0:51:46.600 There is systemic risk to the entire economy if we 0:51:46.800 --> 0:51:51.000 do not open this thing soon play clip twelve. So 0:51:51.080 --> 0:51:53.880 if we do this carefully, working with the governors, I 0:51:53.960 --> 0:51:56.840 don't think there's a considerable risk. Matter of fact, I 0:51:56.920 --> 0:51:59.959 think there's a considerable risk of not reopening. Here talking 0:52:00.160 --> 0:52:04.640 about what would be permanent economic damage to the American public. 0:52:05.000 --> 0:52:08.040 And we're going to reopen in a very thoughtful way 0:52:08.440 --> 0:52:11.160 that gets people back to work safely, that has them 0:52:11.239 --> 0:52:16.120 social distance. That is what we're doing. And now this 0:52:16.280 --> 0:52:18.440 is where we get into the what the Wall Street 0:52:18.520 --> 0:52:24.360 Journal calls a swoosh recovery, which means, you know, a 0:52:24.480 --> 0:52:26.880 v would be got we got clawber. But then we 0:52:26.960 --> 0:52:28.799 come right out of it, which is what we all wanted. 0:52:28.880 --> 0:52:31.160 That's not going to happen. Businesses are going to be 0:52:31.239 --> 0:52:35.640 opening at best at a fraction of their capacity. Demand 0:52:35.840 --> 0:52:38.719 will be a fraction of what it was, This is 0:52:38.760 --> 0:52:42.040 going to be slow. We are going we have definitely 0:52:42.680 --> 0:52:46.160 chosen to be in a recession that will last months, 0:52:46.239 --> 0:52:49.640 if not years, that's for sure. Are we in a 0:52:49.760 --> 0:52:52.480 depression that we're going to have to desperately try to 0:52:53.000 --> 0:52:56.440 pull ourselves out of just into a recession? I think 0:52:56.480 --> 0:52:59.520 that's where we really are. And there's this greater recognition 0:52:59.640 --> 0:53:04.200 right now of that truth. I mean, here's the piece 0:53:04.239 --> 0:53:08.920 in the Wall Street Journal today. Factory furloughs across the 0:53:09.080 --> 0:53:13.160 US are becoming permanent closings, a sign of the heavy 0:53:13.239 --> 0:53:16.200 damage the coronavirus pandemic and shutdowns are exerting on the 0:53:16.280 --> 0:53:20.719 industrial economy. Makers of Dishware in North Carolina, furniture Foam 0:53:20.760 --> 0:53:23.680 in Oregon, and cunning Boards in Michigan are among the 0:53:23.760 --> 0:53:28.000 company's closing factories. In recent weeks. Caterpillar Incorporated said it's 0:53:28.040 --> 0:53:32.200 considering closing plants in Germany. Boat and motorcycle maker Polaris 0:53:32.719 --> 0:53:36.480 plans to close a plan in Syracuse, Indiana, and tire 0:53:36.520 --> 0:53:39.320 maker Goodyear Tire and Rubber plans to close a plant 0:53:39.440 --> 0:53:45.160 in Gadsden, Alabama. Those factory shutdowns will further erode an 0:53:45.239 --> 0:53:47.800 industrial workforce that has been shrinking as a share of 0:53:47.840 --> 0:53:51.560 the overall US economy for decades. While manufacturing output last 0:53:51.640 --> 0:53:54.120 year's surpassed a previous peak from two thousand and seven, 0:53:54.560 --> 0:53:58.880 factory employment never returned to levels reached before the financial crisis. 0:54:00.680 --> 0:54:03.719 Some of these furloughs, some of these slowdowns, are turning 0:54:03.760 --> 0:54:07.000 into firings and shutdowns. Those will not be turned back 0:54:07.080 --> 0:54:09.000 on because for them to come back on, you would 0:54:09.040 --> 0:54:12.040 need the demand in order to make those sustainable businesses 0:54:12.080 --> 0:54:14.239 and to make those plants worth keeping open. We're not 0:54:14.360 --> 0:54:16.800 going to be back at that level of demand. We 0:54:16.880 --> 0:54:18.120 have a lot of people that don't want to go 0:54:18.200 --> 0:54:20.359 back to work as it is right now. Even if 0:54:20.400 --> 0:54:22.720 they can, this is going to be a fight, my friends. 0:54:23.680 --> 0:54:27.120 Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember 0:54:27.200 --> 0:54:30.920 to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever 0:54:31.080 --> 0:54:35.680 you get your podcasts. So I'm back here in NYC 0:54:36.080 --> 0:54:39.520 where we're on lockdown and everyone's wearing masks in their cars, 0:54:39.640 --> 0:54:42.640 on their bicycles, acting like if they get within fifty 0:54:42.680 --> 0:54:44.719 feet of somebody, they're going to get you know, this 0:54:45.160 --> 0:54:48.640 terrible virus and who and we're not opening anytime soon here, 0:54:48.719 --> 0:54:50.000 But I want to know what's going on in other 0:54:50.040 --> 0:54:51.680 parts of the country. Here, I keep reaching out to 0:54:51.760 --> 0:54:54.960 friends of mine in the media world who can illuminate 0:54:55.120 --> 0:54:58.759 what more sane regions are doing right now. And with that, 0:54:58.880 --> 0:55:01.960 we got our friend Ben Ferguson in the mix here. 0:55:02.239 --> 0:55:05.480 Ben is a Nashal syndicated radio host of the Ben 0:55:05.600 --> 0:55:08.240 Ferguson Show. You can follow him on Twitter, on Facebook 0:55:08.560 --> 0:55:11.400 check out his his podcast. Mister Ben Ferguson from the 0:55:11.440 --> 0:55:15.279 Great State of Texas. Thanks man, pleasure. It's about time 0:55:15.320 --> 0:55:17.440 we start taping the conversations that you and I have 0:55:17.960 --> 0:55:20.080 all the time anyway, right, Yeah, I will. I always 0:55:20.120 --> 0:55:22.440 tell people that the best conversations that happen in conservative 0:55:22.480 --> 0:55:25.080 media is like when none of us think anyone's listening 0:55:25.160 --> 0:55:27.160 or watching, we just let it rip. So you and 0:55:27.280 --> 0:55:29.600 I have that, we've we've had that kind of rapport 0:55:29.640 --> 0:55:32.440 for years because for those who don't know, UM, Ben 0:55:32.520 --> 0:55:35.360 and I have both uh and Ben, I believe you 0:55:35.400 --> 0:55:37.440 are you are still there for the time being. UH. 0:55:37.600 --> 0:55:39.759 So you know what I know. I can't ask you 0:55:39.840 --> 0:55:41.800 to say, but Ben and I have both worked at CNN. 0:55:41.920 --> 0:55:44.920 I can say that. So there you go. Ben and 0:55:44.960 --> 0:55:48.640 I've both worked at CNN as my friends as conservatives. 0:55:49.160 --> 0:55:52.360 Uh so you can imagine the hardest job you can 0:55:52.440 --> 0:55:54.600 get in TV, is what I say. Oh, you can 0:55:54.640 --> 0:55:57.680 imagine what that's like. Um, although I will say, have 0:55:57.800 --> 0:55:59.680 you ever done have you ever done Bill Maher show? 0:56:01.400 --> 0:56:04.480 That is probably the hardest show. Well years ago. I mean, 0:56:04.600 --> 0:56:07.000 he is one of the fun hard shows. But that's 0:56:07.160 --> 0:56:09.920 that's the toughest can set it? Yeah, I've done in 0:56:09.960 --> 0:56:12.000 a couple of times because they go four on one 0:56:12.080 --> 0:56:15.759 against you, and also the crowd is against you, and 0:56:16.000 --> 0:56:18.080 it's just like being in the Thunderdome with your hands 0:56:18.080 --> 0:56:21.360 tied behind your back and you're like, what's going on? So? Yeah? Anyway, 0:56:21.360 --> 0:56:24.000 all right, so let's sound Brady. It's like Tom Brady 0:56:24.080 --> 0:56:26.240 playing anywhere in the country on the road. Right. Everybody 0:56:26.320 --> 0:56:29.560 hates you because you went yeah, So tell me, my friend, 0:56:30.040 --> 0:56:31.719 what is going on? First? You know, I know not 0:56:31.840 --> 0:56:34.920 only you're a host, but you're also a business owner entrepreneur. 0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:37.719 How are I mean you got a great barbecue place 0:56:37.880 --> 0:56:40.440 up in Tennessee and a gun range there have you 0:56:40.560 --> 0:56:43.160 been able to you know, where are we with keeping 0:56:43.200 --> 0:56:45.880 them open? Reopening? What's the business looking like? Tell me 0:56:45.920 --> 0:56:48.000 about p p P. Walk me through how that's how 0:56:48.080 --> 0:56:50.960 that's going. Yeah. Well, I mean there's there's so many 0:56:51.040 --> 0:56:53.080 things here that we're going to learn from this and 0:56:53.160 --> 0:56:55.239 we hope that we can fix. And I'll give you 0:56:55.280 --> 0:56:58.960 an example. The day that PPP came through, because our 0:56:59.040 --> 0:57:01.160 business was clearly going to apply for it, we had, 0:57:01.520 --> 0:57:04.880 you know, dozens of employees. I have a barbecue restaurant, 0:57:04.920 --> 0:57:06.680 we have a gun range and a gun store, all 0:57:06.760 --> 0:57:09.640 under twenty five thousand square feet. It's a large facility. 0:57:10.160 --> 0:57:12.680 We had a little more Alexander On from the Senate 0:57:12.760 --> 0:57:16.440 from Tennessee literally right after they passed PPP, I mean 0:57:16.480 --> 0:57:19.800 within hours of the passing it, and we asked him like, hey, 0:57:20.600 --> 0:57:21.920 here's what we need to know. How do we get 0:57:21.920 --> 0:57:23.360 in line? How does this work? There's gonna be a 0:57:23.440 --> 0:57:24.840 rush on the bank. What do we need to do? 0:57:25.760 --> 0:57:28.080 And they talked about this being orderly. Well, then the 0:57:28.200 --> 0:57:30.920 reality set him. We were there, and I would consider 0:57:31.000 --> 0:57:33.560 myself to have kind of like insider information. Right, you 0:57:33.640 --> 0:57:36.320 have a senator on who helped write the bill. We 0:57:36.520 --> 0:57:39.840 got our loan application Friday and morning literally when the 0:57:39.920 --> 0:57:42.720 bank opened, and then the bank said all right, we 0:57:42.760 --> 0:57:44.760 got everything. A couple days later, they called back, Hey, 0:57:44.920 --> 0:57:47.280 we had to change this. We need this now from you. 0:57:47.720 --> 0:57:50.880 Immediately ran it over the bank and said okay, we're 0:57:50.960 --> 0:57:53.360 good and they said yes, and they got new guidance 0:57:53.360 --> 0:57:54.920 a couple of days later and they said, hey, we 0:57:55.000 --> 0:57:56.600 need you, we need this or we need to fill 0:57:56.640 --> 0:57:59.520 out this former we're changing this form. We ran down 0:57:59.560 --> 0:58:02.280 there and did out come to find out what was 0:58:02.400 --> 0:58:06.479 really happening all along is the federal government was giving 0:58:06.520 --> 0:58:09.400 a fee for every loan of PPP money that was 0:58:09.480 --> 0:58:12.720 given out. We found out the banks we're basically saying 0:58:12.840 --> 0:58:15.120 whichever loan is the biggest, goes to the front of 0:58:15.120 --> 0:58:19.280 the line. Now Congress knew about this. We told them 0:58:19.360 --> 0:58:22.640 about this because we were being told by the banks, 0:58:22.760 --> 0:58:26.040 and we had people calling in saying, just so you know, 0:58:26.160 --> 0:58:28.960 if you're at a larger bank, get ready to get screwed, 0:58:29.160 --> 0:58:31.120 even if you got in day one or day two 0:58:31.720 --> 0:58:34.880 in this loan, because they're pushing your ten and twelve 0:58:34.960 --> 0:58:37.720 and eight thousand and fifteen thousand, our loans to the 0:58:37.840 --> 0:58:40.880 bottom of the barrel every single day when the bigger 0:58:40.920 --> 0:58:44.680 loans are coming in. So we literally called Washington and said, hey, guys, 0:58:45.200 --> 0:58:47.320 y'all when this money runs out, you need to fix 0:58:47.360 --> 0:58:49.920 in the second time. And sure enough, but guess what happened. 0:58:50.040 --> 0:58:52.040 They did not fix it. They had the ability to 0:58:52.200 --> 0:58:56.600 say to the banks that loans must be done in 0:58:56.680 --> 0:58:58.480 the order and we'd say are received. They could have 0:58:58.560 --> 0:59:00.960 fixed this in the law for that second round of 0:59:01.000 --> 0:59:04.320 PPP money. It was deliberate, from what I understand, from 0:59:04.360 --> 0:59:08.040 big bankers and others, especially those close to Nancy Pelosi, 0:59:08.680 --> 0:59:11.080 to not fix that loophole. And so what ended up 0:59:11.160 --> 0:59:14.280 happening is we now are seeing small businesses that did 0:59:14.360 --> 0:59:16.800 not get any money the first and or second time. Now, 0:59:16.880 --> 0:59:20.400 we luckily got our e number Wednesday night around ten 0:59:20.480 --> 0:59:23.720 o'clock after raising utter hell with the bank, and I 0:59:23.800 --> 0:59:25.960 think they realized this is going to be bad. Pr 0:59:26.040 --> 0:59:27.600 they got in the first day. We got to get 0:59:27.640 --> 0:59:31.000 this money to this small business and we were able 0:59:31.000 --> 0:59:32.840 to get our money right before it right out. But 0:59:33.240 --> 0:59:36.040 but you see now that what has really happened is 0:59:36.600 --> 0:59:40.760 the banks were incentivized to give these loans to the 0:59:40.920 --> 0:59:44.760 biggest loan amount that was being requested, not based on 0:59:45.000 --> 0:59:47.240 who came in and the order in which they received. 0:59:47.640 --> 0:59:50.200 The government knew this was a problem, certainly within a 0:59:50.240 --> 0:59:53.560 week or so, and they chose deliberately not to fix this. 0:59:53.720 --> 0:59:57.440 So in Middle America right now, unfortunately, we're hearing from 0:59:57.480 --> 0:59:59.919 people every day and to my show that are called 1:00:00.120 --> 1:00:03.320 in and saying we never got our money, and this 1:00:03.480 --> 1:00:05.600 money is now going to be gone and no one's 1:00:05.640 --> 1:00:07.880 getting it that really needed it or not. A lot 1:00:07.920 --> 1:00:09.440 of people, I should say you are not getting a hid. 1:00:09.480 --> 1:00:11.960 Most of them are in that twenty five thousand to 1:00:12.080 --> 1:00:14.560 about five thousand range where the loans that were left 1:00:14.640 --> 1:00:18.680 out deliberately because Washington yet again screw the American people 1:00:18.760 --> 1:00:22.080 and genuine small businesses by hooking these banks up with 1:00:22.160 --> 1:00:24.680 these huge fees. We're speaking to Ben Ferguson of the 1:00:24.840 --> 1:00:28.080 Ben Ferguson Show. Man's also got a great head of hair. 1:00:28.320 --> 1:00:30.400 So those you only know his voice, just just put 1:00:30.480 --> 1:00:32.960 it out there. You know, hair game respects hair game. 1:00:33.120 --> 1:00:34.560 I'm gonna hold on to it as long as I 1:00:34.640 --> 1:00:38.280 can buy right. Hair game likes hair games. So tell 1:00:38.360 --> 1:00:41.840 me this man, how are your employees than doing. Have 1:00:41.960 --> 1:00:44.880 you had to furlough? And also are you able to 1:00:45.000 --> 1:00:48.280 in Tennessee? Are you guys back at you know, are 1:00:48.320 --> 1:00:50.320 you doing takeout? Are you back at what level? Of 1:00:50.360 --> 1:00:52.720 capacity are you at? When do you think people do 1:00:52.800 --> 1:00:56.120 your employees there think that folks would come and do 1:00:56.280 --> 1:00:58.600 sit down maybe at a smaller you know, the twenty 1:00:58.640 --> 1:01:00.959 five percent capacity I think is what's being talked about 1:01:00.960 --> 1:01:03.840 in Texas. You know, tell me about how you're seeing 1:01:03.840 --> 1:01:05.720 that and also just when you're seeing with the Texas 1:01:05.800 --> 1:01:07.840 reopen So I know you you got a hand in Tennessee, 1:01:07.960 --> 1:01:11.200 but you're down in Texas. Yeah, No, it's it's it's 1:01:11.280 --> 1:01:13.760 interesting to see what's happened here. And it's really an 1:01:13.800 --> 1:01:18.520 issue of there's three major problems that the restaurants are having. 1:01:18.560 --> 1:01:22.200 I'll start with my barbecue restaurant, Ferguson's Barbecue. We're at 1:01:22.280 --> 1:01:26.360 fifty percent capacity. Well, there's no business structure that allows 1:01:26.480 --> 1:01:30.680 for a restaurant to make a living at fifty percent occupancy. 1:01:31.440 --> 1:01:34.120 So yes, we are open right now, and yes we're 1:01:34.200 --> 1:01:37.760 using that PPV money to keep our employees going, but 1:01:37.880 --> 1:01:40.160 we're losing money every day that we're open because it's 1:01:40.200 --> 1:01:42.440 impossible for us. We don't have a drive through. We 1:01:42.520 --> 1:01:46.200 are a sit down restaurant, and with social distancing and 1:01:46.320 --> 1:01:49.560 taking basically half of our tables out and we can 1:01:49.640 --> 1:01:51.560 have a full restaurant, we could be on a weight 1:01:51.760 --> 1:01:55.080 and we will not make a living. So we're basically 1:01:55.160 --> 1:01:58.680 saying we hope that that as we're in what the 1:01:58.760 --> 1:02:02.000 Governor's referred to phase one of the opening, which is 1:02:02.320 --> 1:02:04.560 and hopefully will get to that phase two, which will 1:02:04.600 --> 1:02:08.000 give us more tables right in the restaurant. But there's 1:02:08.040 --> 1:02:10.280 no way the restaurants that we've talked to, unless you 1:02:10.360 --> 1:02:12.560 have a drive through window, unless you have a massive 1:02:12.640 --> 1:02:15.600 takeout business that you can survive in phase one or 1:02:15.640 --> 1:02:17.880 phase two of the reopening. We've seen the same thing 1:02:18.000 --> 1:02:21.040 in Texas where it was twenty five in Houston where 1:02:21.040 --> 1:02:24.160 I have twenty five percent of occupancy, most restaurants that 1:02:24.280 --> 1:02:26.200 I know that had the option. Now, i'll give you 1:02:26.240 --> 1:02:28.160 a great example. Thursday night, my wife and I we 1:02:28.200 --> 1:02:29.920 went out for the very first time and went two 1:02:30.000 --> 1:02:33.600 months to a great restaurant. We got there made a 1:02:33.640 --> 1:02:36.040 reservation because we were thinking, well, you know, finally the 1:02:36.080 --> 1:02:38.320 restaurants are reopened, let's make sure we have a reservation. 1:02:38.440 --> 1:02:42.000 We got there, we were the only table that set inside. 1:02:42.080 --> 1:02:44.560 There was a couple of tables outside. There was a 1:02:44.680 --> 1:02:48.240 single table inside, and we asked them, how are you 1:02:48.320 --> 1:02:50.840 guys doing. They said, if it wasn't for takeout, we'd 1:02:50.880 --> 1:02:53.240 be screwed. They had one waiter for the whole restaurant, 1:02:53.600 --> 1:02:56.160 they had one chef, and they had one person doing 1:02:56.200 --> 1:02:59.880 the dishes. So skeleton crew here. And that's the problem. 1:03:00.360 --> 1:03:02.200 And what I think the President understands is at some 1:03:02.280 --> 1:03:04.080 point you've got to allow these people to open up, 1:03:04.120 --> 1:03:07.160 because no one in the restaurant world is going to 1:03:07.160 --> 1:03:10.080 be able to survive on a fifty or twenty five 1:03:10.160 --> 1:03:13.240 percent documency. Restaurants is the hardest thing I've probably ever 1:03:13.320 --> 1:03:16.200 done in my career. It is slim margins. I mean, 1:03:16.360 --> 1:03:18.760 we may sell three grand in food, but you may 1:03:18.840 --> 1:03:21.480 only make three hundred dollars. It depends on what you're selling, 1:03:21.840 --> 1:03:25.040 it depends on how long they sit. There's the restaurant 1:03:25.040 --> 1:03:28.800 business is a three to five six percent margin on average. 1:03:29.080 --> 1:03:31.760 So you've got to be open every day, and you've 1:03:31.760 --> 1:03:33.280 got to have a really good staff, and you got 1:03:33.360 --> 1:03:36.240 to watch your cast flow. You know, barbecue has a 1:03:36.280 --> 1:03:38.800 little bit better margin. That's honestly one of the reasons 1:03:38.880 --> 1:03:40.880 why we chose to do it. I'm a barbecue guy, 1:03:41.000 --> 1:03:44.240 been competing love it for years, being from Memphis. But 1:03:44.840 --> 1:03:48.040 these other restaurants that have really big overheads, they have 1:03:48.280 --> 1:03:52.400 premier locations. I don't know how thirty forty percent of 1:03:52.440 --> 1:03:54.480 them don't disapprove by the end of this, And I 1:03:54.560 --> 1:03:57.880 don't think that's a crazy number. You can imagine here 1:03:57.960 --> 1:04:01.520 in New York City, where commerce show real estate is 1:04:01.640 --> 1:04:05.760 billions and billions and billions of dollars of revenue of taxes. 1:04:05.800 --> 1:04:08.480 I mean, it's an enormous part. I mean I'm in 1:04:08.600 --> 1:04:10.680 Midtown Manhattan. I mean I'm surrounded by some of the 1:04:10.720 --> 1:04:14.280 most famous office buildings in the world. That's where I live, 1:04:14.320 --> 1:04:17.040 and that's where I'm doing the show. And when are 1:04:17.080 --> 1:04:19.680 we going to get back to having these these sort 1:04:19.720 --> 1:04:23.320 of uh you know, cube farmer existences. Are we ever anyway? 1:04:23.600 --> 1:04:25.040 So you can imagine that that's going to be a 1:04:25.160 --> 1:04:28.080 huge problem. But I also want to ask, also, you 1:04:28.160 --> 1:04:30.360 go out to eat, when you when you got to eat, 1:04:30.440 --> 1:04:32.960 those tables are so close together because that real estate 1:04:33.040 --> 1:04:35.400 costs so much in New York's a great example. I 1:04:35.480 --> 1:04:37.520 would not be surprised if you guys lose thirty five 1:04:38.360 --> 1:04:41.040 of the businesses their restaurant business. This is what I 1:04:41.080 --> 1:04:43.080 wanted to ask. You can't do that? What are you 1:04:43.240 --> 1:04:45.120 hearing from You know, I'm here in the city. I 1:04:45.160 --> 1:04:47.360 have some friends who are restauranturs I friends or restaurant 1:04:47.360 --> 1:04:49.960 tours in DC. We know the restaurant business is in 1:04:50.720 --> 1:04:53.680 rough shape right and that's not going to change anytime soon. 1:04:53.760 --> 1:04:55.320 And you know, I hope you and yours are able 1:04:55.360 --> 1:04:58.200 to see it through, and you know, God willing you 1:04:58.280 --> 1:05:00.760 and I will be sitting down having a a sweet tea. 1:05:01.000 --> 1:05:03.080 And I'm really a brisket guy. I mean that's kind 1:05:03.120 --> 1:05:04.960 of my go to So I've got your brisket bro 1:05:05.160 --> 1:05:07.800 I got you're sure you guys have that covered at Fergus's. 1:05:08.120 --> 1:05:10.440 But on the on the other small business, see, we 1:05:10.520 --> 1:05:13.040 actually so Mother's Day we did I think they said, 1:05:13.800 --> 1:05:16.400 Miss Kathy who runs our pit. I think we did 1:05:16.520 --> 1:05:20.200 twenty seven briskets take out for Mother's Day. That's awesome. 1:05:20.920 --> 1:05:22.680 I wish I could have been one of them. It's 1:05:22.680 --> 1:05:24.800 one of those business is amazing. I was like, good, 1:05:24.960 --> 1:05:28.080 keep selling them. And now we have a shortage of meat. 1:05:28.160 --> 1:05:29.840 That's the other thing. I mean, we've got we had 1:05:29.880 --> 1:05:32.080 our we had our us food struck show up on Thursday. 1:05:32.200 --> 1:05:34.480 And this goes back to this country and opening back 1:05:34.560 --> 1:05:38.120 up but this is serious. So I saw this shortage 1:05:38.160 --> 1:05:41.000 coming again. Every once a while doing radio like you 1:05:41.080 --> 1:05:44.160 and I do and TV, you're blessed with information that 1:05:44.320 --> 1:05:46.280 you can really dissect and say, how is this going 1:05:46.360 --> 1:05:49.000 to relate to a business? And I saw that these 1:05:49.240 --> 1:05:51.960 these pork facilities were shutting down and beef facilities were 1:05:51.960 --> 1:05:54.640 shutting down, these shortages that were coming. So we opened 1:05:54.760 --> 1:05:57.440 last week for the first time on Monday. We had 1:05:57.560 --> 1:06:00.360 frozen enough of our food when we had the instant 1:06:00.400 --> 1:06:02.400 shut down that we were okay for about a week. 1:06:02.920 --> 1:06:06.800 Our food truck came on Thursday. There was no briskets, 1:06:07.400 --> 1:06:10.440 There was no shoulders, there were no ribs, there was 1:06:10.560 --> 1:06:15.680 no sausage. Now, I'm a barbecue place. What do you sell? Right? Like? 1:06:15.840 --> 1:06:18.760 What's left if you have none of those things on 1:06:18.880 --> 1:06:21.600 your menu? I literally called my dad and said, Dad, 1:06:21.720 --> 1:06:25.240 can you go to Cosco? Nothing? They were completely bone dry. 1:06:25.280 --> 1:06:27.880 I said, he went to Walmart. I literally called other 1:06:28.000 --> 1:06:30.920 barbecue places in Memphis where I knew the owners, and 1:06:31.040 --> 1:06:33.280 I said, do you guys have any supply in One 1:06:33.320 --> 1:06:35.640 of the guys actually let us go to his restaurant 1:06:35.680 --> 1:06:38.480 and buy some supply from him to make it through 1:06:38.520 --> 1:06:41.120 the weekend. Then we had to open up another account 1:06:41.160 --> 1:06:43.880 with a smaller food farm. Luckily I was able to 1:06:43.960 --> 1:06:46.000 talk about this on the radio. We had people call 1:06:46.160 --> 1:06:49.040 us saying, hey, I can fulfill your order. We opened 1:06:49.120 --> 1:06:51.600 up another Cisco account with it. You know, we usually 1:06:51.680 --> 1:06:55.200 just had one supplier and so we were lucky. But 1:06:55.360 --> 1:06:59.160 then businesses right now we're seeing Windy's running out of 1:06:59.200 --> 1:07:01.880 Hamburger meet because there a fresh meat place around the 1:07:01.960 --> 1:07:04.680 country and now they're having no more hammurger meat. We 1:07:04.960 --> 1:07:07.600 can't find a deep friee for example, they are gone. 1:07:07.680 --> 1:07:09.760 We went, we went to every store we get our 1:07:09.760 --> 1:07:15.320 hands on, use Craigslist, eBay, all of them right Facebook, Marketplace. 1:07:15.640 --> 1:07:18.080 Not as single deep freeze within three hundred miles that 1:07:18.200 --> 1:07:20.840 we could even go get if we got the food 1:07:20.880 --> 1:07:22.600 to put it in the deep freeze. So that's the 1:07:22.720 --> 1:07:25.720 second wave of this. All this shut down takes a 1:07:25.800 --> 1:07:27.800 lot of time to reopen it back up. You've got 1:07:27.840 --> 1:07:30.479 the COVID nineteen. These factories where these workers stand side 1:07:30.520 --> 1:07:32.520 by side, and that's where a lot of people are 1:07:32.560 --> 1:07:34.720 getting hit right now. As restaurants, even the ones that 1:07:34.720 --> 1:07:37.080 are getting open. If you if you have a heavy 1:07:37.200 --> 1:07:41.720 protein based menu, meat and poultry you're in. You're going 1:07:41.760 --> 1:07:43.720 to be hurting probably for next month or so, is 1:07:43.760 --> 1:07:45.680 what we've been told from our suppliers. We won't get 1:07:45.680 --> 1:07:46.920 on on a minute or two left. We're speaking of 1:07:47.000 --> 1:07:48.840 Ben Ferguson. But Ben, I just want to get your 1:07:48.880 --> 1:07:50.760 take before we have to run into a break here 1:07:50.880 --> 1:07:53.520 of what's going on with gun buying in time? I 1:07:53.560 --> 1:07:55.479 mean in New York the answer is here zero because 1:07:55.480 --> 1:07:57.240 you're not allowed to buy guns here. What's going what's 1:07:57.280 --> 1:08:00.480 going on in Texas? Massive? What has happened here? We 1:08:00.560 --> 1:08:02.640 saw a couple different things here. We saw a massive 1:08:02.720 --> 1:08:04.960 run at our gun store from Asian Americans who were 1:08:05.080 --> 1:08:09.680 very concerned about retaliation, retaliation crimes against them because it's 1:08:09.720 --> 1:08:13.320 coming from China. Talked to a lot of those individuals personally, 1:08:13.320 --> 1:08:15.200 and I understood their fear, and I hated it they 1:08:15.280 --> 1:08:17.800 even felt that way. But that was kind of the 1:08:17.880 --> 1:08:20.920 first wave. The second was Home Defense went through the 1:08:21.040 --> 1:08:23.640 route because people were hearing about police officers that were 1:08:23.680 --> 1:08:27.599 getting coronavirus. In Memphis, for example, more than a hundred 1:08:27.680 --> 1:08:32.040 police officers are off the streets in quarantine, so you 1:08:32.160 --> 1:08:34.639 have fewer officers on the street. And then the third 1:08:34.720 --> 1:08:38.040 wave that we saw was business owners where everybody knows 1:08:38.080 --> 1:08:41.240 which businesses are dormant right which are closed down. And 1:08:41.360 --> 1:08:46.400 so you started seeing these significant increase in burglaries because 1:08:46.439 --> 1:08:49.040 it was sitting ducks. These businesses are sitting there vacant. 1:08:49.120 --> 1:08:51.880 You know, they're vacant. Entire shopping centers are vacant. You 1:08:52.040 --> 1:08:54.680 have to worry about people watching you. And so we 1:08:54.920 --> 1:08:57.880 ran out of nine millimeters, ran out of forties. Then 1:08:57.920 --> 1:08:59.720 we had the run on ammunition. We ran out of 1:08:59.760 --> 1:09:02.840 every caliber that we get our hands. Unluckily, we were 1:09:03.240 --> 1:09:05.800 you know, blast slash smart and made sure that we 1:09:05.920 --> 1:09:09.320 had a manufacturer in our hometown for American made ammunition 1:09:09.320 --> 1:09:12.200 in which we prided ourselves on custom making in our 1:09:12.240 --> 1:09:14.680 own box, so we were able to keep AMMO coming in. 1:09:14.800 --> 1:09:17.560 But right now, if you go to a distributor and 1:09:17.720 --> 1:09:20.240 you try to order nine millimeter two two six or 1:09:20.840 --> 1:09:23.639 are you know AAR fifteen rounds for people to keep 1:09:23.680 --> 1:09:26.040 it simple or forty, you may not get it for 1:09:26.160 --> 1:09:28.800 six months. That's how far the backlog is for most 1:09:28.880 --> 1:09:32.120 gun stores. Ben Fergus and everybody, Ben, thanks so much. Man. 1:09:32.280 --> 1:09:34.719 I look forward to going shooting an eating some brisket 1:09:34.760 --> 1:09:39.280 with you. Thanks for joining us. Thanks man, you're in 1:09:39.360 --> 1:09:42.920 the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. 1:09:46.800 --> 1:09:53.719 You begin to get worried that basic not just institutional norms, 1:09:53.840 --> 1:09:58.800 but our basic understanding of the rule of law is 1:09:58.840 --> 1:10:02.120 it risk. That was the Obama quote. I had to 1:10:02.280 --> 1:10:05.120 take another another crack at this one, and that was 1:10:05.160 --> 1:10:07.320 the Obama quote that I mentioned the first hour. So 1:10:07.600 --> 1:10:10.080 our basic understanding of the rule of law is at 1:10:10.160 --> 1:10:15.120 risk because we're not prosecuting a guy that clearly should 1:10:15.160 --> 1:10:17.320 never have been prosecuted. And it's a disgrace that the 1:10:17.439 --> 1:10:20.040 FBI did what it did, and disgrace the DJ went 1:10:20.080 --> 1:10:22.160 along with it, and a disgrace that the Mueller probe 1:10:22.600 --> 1:10:24.600 was a bunch of partisan hacks who were abusing the 1:10:24.720 --> 1:10:30.760 law for the most clear and indefensible political purposes. But 1:10:30.840 --> 1:10:33.280 there's Obama weighing in, I meant, and then you have 1:10:33.400 --> 1:10:36.320 Brian's Brad Stouter, who's like, wow, that do it double? 1:10:36.360 --> 1:10:41.479 A time out of Flint story play fifteen. It's so 1:10:41.640 --> 1:10:43.519 disappointing to look at what we're seeing from right wing 1:10:43.560 --> 1:10:46.560 media these days, where there's such an obsession with the 1:10:46.680 --> 1:10:50.080 deep state and these revelations about the Russia probe and 1:10:50.280 --> 1:10:53.320 the decision about Michael Flynn. They're treating the Michael Flinn's 1:10:53.320 --> 1:10:54.960 story like it's a bigger deal than the death of 1:10:55.040 --> 1:10:57.920 two thousand Americans a day. We're seeing this on Fox 1:10:58.000 --> 1:11:01.640 and Friends and other shows. Oh if I can't just 1:11:01.920 --> 1:11:05.880 chuck this more on up, somebody please, it's just appalling. Nay, 1:11:05.960 --> 1:11:08.040 like no one streaming. There's a bigger thing, it's another 1:11:08.160 --> 1:11:10.519 new Can we only talk about coronavirus all day long? 1:11:10.520 --> 1:11:13.160 Because that's what we've basically been doing for eight weeks. Now? 1:11:13.400 --> 1:11:15.680 Are there allowed to be other news stories? This from 1:11:15.680 --> 1:11:19.599 the network CNN that ran with the Russia collusion madness, Russia, Russia, 1:11:19.640 --> 1:11:21.200 Russia every day for three years, and it was all 1:11:21.200 --> 1:11:27.519 a lie. It was a fantasy. It was a fiction. Snelter, Tapper, Cooper, Cuomo, 1:11:28.120 --> 1:11:31.479 Burnette go through, the whole crew, all just propagating lives 1:11:31.520 --> 1:11:34.479 all the time, having these a horrible legal analysts spewing 1:11:34.720 --> 1:11:37.840 bull crap on the air. Oh and now that the 1:11:37.920 --> 1:11:40.519 truth comes out, why are you talking about the flat 1:11:40.600 --> 1:11:45.120 case yet? Jerk? Thanks for listening to the Bus Sesson 1:11:45.200 --> 1:11:49.360 Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeart 1:11:49.439 --> 1:11:53.840 Radio app, or wherever you get your podcasts to mask 1:11:54.320 --> 1:11:57.519 or not to mask. There's the question many of us 1:11:57.600 --> 1:12:02.960 are asking these days. We ask about the mask the 1:12:03.400 --> 1:12:07.120 evidence for outdoor transmission. As I've told you many times, well, 1:12:07.240 --> 1:12:09.280 there is a lot of evidence that it's not a risk, 1:12:09.439 --> 1:12:12.080 that it's not something that you should be concerned about. Now, 1:12:12.120 --> 1:12:14.760 when I say it's it's not a risk, you know 1:12:15.200 --> 1:12:18.200 there there's always a risk of something that could happen 1:12:18.320 --> 1:12:21.280 that you can't But you don't live your life, you know. 1:12:21.479 --> 1:12:24.240 I couldn't tell you that Producer Mark won't get hit 1:12:24.320 --> 1:12:26.200 by hail because there was some hail in New York 1:12:26.280 --> 1:12:28.800 today that happens to hit him in the temple and 1:12:28.960 --> 1:12:31.600 happens to cause an aneurysm and he falls down and 1:12:31.680 --> 1:12:33.800 no more, Producer Mark. That would be we would be 1:12:33.840 --> 1:12:36.360 super sad, Producer Mark. But I'm not going to tell 1:12:36.360 --> 1:12:39.479 you not to go outside because there was hal There 1:12:39.600 --> 1:12:43.639 was hail earlier today and you could be hit by 1:12:44.040 --> 1:12:45.800 a piece of it. You know what I mean. Why 1:12:45.840 --> 1:12:48.200 are we killing me off in this ridiculous scenario. I 1:12:48.240 --> 1:12:49.439 don't know, but I'm just trying to come up with 1:12:49.439 --> 1:12:52.320 a ridiculous scenario. And I just wanted everyone to pay attention, 1:12:52.320 --> 1:12:54.120 and they'd be sad. If we lost producer Mark to 1:12:54.200 --> 1:12:56.200 a piece of hail, everybody would there'd be a lot 1:12:56.240 --> 1:12:59.760 of tears from Team Buck. Yeah, now, Baton beat away, 1:12:59.800 --> 1:13:02.000 the thanks right exactly. You're not worried about it. You 1:13:02.040 --> 1:13:04.160 still go outside, but I can't guarantee you that can't 1:13:04.200 --> 1:13:08.960 happen outdoor mask outdoor transmission rather of this disease is 1:13:09.040 --> 1:13:11.320 not a high enough risk to justify outdoor masks wearing. 1:13:11.360 --> 1:13:13.840 Now in New York, the guidance people forget this. The 1:13:13.880 --> 1:13:16.280 guidance is if you can't social distance and you're out 1:13:16.320 --> 1:13:18.479 in public, wear a mask. It's not you have to 1:13:18.520 --> 1:13:20.840 wear a mask all the time if you're outside, but 1:13:20.920 --> 1:13:23.920 that's what everyone's taken it to be, and other places 1:13:24.000 --> 1:13:27.400 other states have also had this. We're in Florida, and 1:13:27.520 --> 1:13:30.080 there's gonna be some bleeped out language here because this 1:13:30.200 --> 1:13:32.640 person was kind of losing it. In Florida, you had 1:13:32.640 --> 1:13:36.519 a woman who clearly snapped and went nuts and yelling 1:13:36.560 --> 1:13:40.479 at people because of they're not wearing a mask. Play seventeen. 1:13:40.960 --> 1:13:43.160 I'm a little fool pissed off at the simple fact 1:13:43.200 --> 1:13:46.200 that people around this town don't wear the mask, don't 1:13:46.200 --> 1:13:48.720 wear their gloves. I just finished showing a house right now. 1:13:48.960 --> 1:13:50.840 The lady was pissed off because I asked her to 1:13:50.920 --> 1:13:55.120 wear a mask, Like seriously, woman, and that she's coughing 1:13:55.200 --> 1:13:58.560 two seconds later, like it's no big deal. We're in 1:13:58.680 --> 1:14:01.760 this because as like that, because people out there on 1:14:01.840 --> 1:14:06.200 their boats doing all their food partying. No I'm not jealous, 1:14:06.840 --> 1:14:08.960 No I'm not, because you know what, I have a god. 1:14:09.000 --> 1:14:10.519 I could go out with my friends and party. But 1:14:10.560 --> 1:14:13.599 there's a time and place for everything, and now it's 1:14:13.640 --> 1:14:15.600 not the time and place. Now is the time and 1:14:15.680 --> 1:14:17.439 place to be taking care of yourselves and the people 1:14:17.439 --> 1:14:19.679 who around you. There are people dying, There are people 1:14:19.760 --> 1:14:23.080 in hospitals risking their lives because a mother like you, 1:14:23.439 --> 1:14:25.599 who won't wear your mask, who don't wear your gloves, 1:14:25.680 --> 1:14:29.240 who don't work practice social distancing. Yes, Miami's a party town, 1:14:29.320 --> 1:14:31.040 but the truth is, you know what, there's a time 1:14:31.080 --> 1:14:33.160 and place for partying and everything. Now it's not the 1:14:33.240 --> 1:14:36.639 time to party. Where are your mask? Where are your gloves? 1:14:36.760 --> 1:14:38.680 But we're gonna be quarantined all the way to god 1:14:38.840 --> 1:14:41.559 September and we may be spending New Years in our 1:14:41.600 --> 1:14:43.680 house because of you fool out there who don't wear 1:14:43.760 --> 1:14:49.719 your mask. Now, I understand that was a deeply ineloquent rhet, 1:14:50.960 --> 1:14:54.640 but it is representative of a wider sentiment out there 1:14:54.680 --> 1:14:57.759 that people have now become mask panicked. There is mask 1:14:57.880 --> 1:15:01.479 panic in fact, bit of a playoff words there where 1:15:01.680 --> 1:15:05.280 if you don't wear masks, people now want to blame you. Now, 1:15:05.439 --> 1:15:08.040 I find this very troubling because we see the state, 1:15:08.240 --> 1:15:10.800 the sort of big es state. Sometimes it's an actual state, 1:15:10.840 --> 1:15:13.559 sometimes the federal government. Sometimes it's the apparatus of the government, 1:15:13.600 --> 1:15:17.400 that bureaucracies, the public health authorities, and the media. But 1:15:18.200 --> 1:15:21.920 the people that want control are using masking now as 1:15:22.000 --> 1:15:24.120 a This is now a barometer of how much you're 1:15:24.160 --> 1:15:27.680 willing to be controlled. And I get a sense that 1:15:27.840 --> 1:15:32.519 they are encouraging us turning on each other over this issue, 1:15:33.120 --> 1:15:36.880 that we now are at odds over this as people, 1:15:37.479 --> 1:15:39.960 and there'll be blamed now for anyone who doesn't wear 1:15:40.040 --> 1:15:44.120 wear a mask, even though masking in public is completely absurd. 1:15:44.160 --> 1:15:49.160 It's absurd. There's no basis for this other than just people. Now, 1:15:49.360 --> 1:15:50.680 if you want to, if you want to wear a 1:15:50.720 --> 1:15:53.519 mask because it makes you feel better, fine, I'm not 1:15:53.600 --> 1:15:56.200 trying to take away anyone's right. Now, Remember the mask 1:15:56.320 --> 1:15:58.200 is really to protect other people, it's not so much 1:15:58.240 --> 1:16:01.160 to protect you. You can still get this in the eyes, 1:16:01.360 --> 1:16:03.280 you can still breathe this in, especially if it's a 1:16:03.320 --> 1:16:07.120 cloth mask. It does not prevent any transmission of the disease. 1:16:07.439 --> 1:16:12.120 And if masks were enough, my friends, no healthcare workers 1:16:12.240 --> 1:16:14.400 would be getting this at all, right, I mean, because 1:16:14.520 --> 1:16:17.320 unless they're touching their eyes or doing something that's really egregious, 1:16:17.880 --> 1:16:20.559 they're wearing masks. They have PPE. I know there's been 1:16:20.600 --> 1:16:23.360 a run on PPE, and we'll return to that in 1:16:23.600 --> 1:16:25.640 a moment about what China has been doing with that. 1:16:26.640 --> 1:16:29.920 But a mask is not enough. Otherwise well then all 1:16:29.920 --> 1:16:31.000 you can do is wear a mask, and I can 1:16:31.120 --> 1:16:33.360 get the disease right, And healthcare workers are wearing masks, 1:16:33.680 --> 1:16:36.720 so you know, if you're being exposed to a lot 1:16:36.760 --> 1:16:38.800 of this in the air, it's not pulling out all 1:16:38.840 --> 1:16:41.320 the viral particles. As I said, it can go into 1:16:41.360 --> 1:16:46.800 your eyes. This is it's smaller than it's smaller than bacteria's. 1:16:46.840 --> 1:16:48.400 We know about viruses. We all learn this in like 1:16:48.439 --> 1:16:51.000 the fifth grade. So if it's in the air or not, 1:16:51.760 --> 1:16:55.240 but it disperses an open air. We've been over this before. 1:16:55.560 --> 1:17:00.479 There's really there's really an infinitesimal risk of contracting this 1:17:00.600 --> 1:17:02.679 in open error. But I don't like that that people 1:17:02.720 --> 1:17:06.439 are now mobilizing the masses through fear against those of 1:17:06.520 --> 1:17:09.600 us who are trying to get back to the beginnings 1:17:09.640 --> 1:17:12.760 of normalcy. One of the themes today on the show 1:17:12.840 --> 1:17:15.000 has been how the economy is going to be in 1:17:15.080 --> 1:17:17.799 a more precarious place than a lot of people realize. 1:17:17.880 --> 1:17:21.040 Even as we're opening, you're going to have vastly suppressed demand, 1:17:21.479 --> 1:17:25.800 enormous amount of debt, enormous amount of destroyed businesses out 1:17:25.840 --> 1:17:28.520 there that we'll have to find a way to reopen. 1:17:28.800 --> 1:17:31.400 They haven't made the profits they've needed. Just paying your 1:17:31.439 --> 1:17:33.960 employees is not the same thing as having a successful business. 1:17:34.560 --> 1:17:37.680 They haven't, you know. And who is going to bring 1:17:37.760 --> 1:17:41.360 back demand for things like incredibly expensive office space in 1:17:41.520 --> 1:17:44.120 major cities. Who is going to bring back demand for 1:17:44.160 --> 1:17:47.080 the subways? New York alone is facing billions and billions 1:17:47.120 --> 1:17:49.720 of dollars of shortfall because of taxes. Every state that 1:17:49.880 --> 1:17:52.200 is shut down is going to have shortfalls as a 1:17:52.240 --> 1:17:56.360 result of this. So we are just we're just trying 1:17:56.400 --> 1:17:58.160 to get to the point where we start to piece 1:17:58.240 --> 1:18:02.760 back together our society after has been economically flattened, and 1:18:02.880 --> 1:18:04.920 there are people that are saying, no, don't piece it together. 1:18:05.000 --> 1:18:07.599 We're all gonna die if you try to start to rebuild. 1:18:08.200 --> 1:18:10.519 What's the alternative? What are we really going to do? 1:18:10.560 --> 1:18:13.479 We're gonna sit here and wait. Therapeutics are not going 1:18:13.600 --> 1:18:16.439 to save us. A vaccine is not coming anytime soon, 1:18:17.080 --> 1:18:22.160 and we cannot sit and wait for a plan that 1:18:22.479 --> 1:18:25.840 is just a fantasy plan about test and trace, so 1:18:25.920 --> 1:18:27.760 we know about every case we can stop every person 1:18:27.880 --> 1:18:29.519 who gets this. You know, the problem we have right 1:18:29.560 --> 1:18:31.640 now in testing and most most of the country is 1:18:32.320 --> 1:18:36.880 over capacity, meaning that people aren't taking all the tests 1:18:36.920 --> 1:18:39.040 that are out there. You know, they could do ten 1:18:39.080 --> 1:18:40.560 thousand tests a day in some places, they're only do 1:18:40.640 --> 1:18:43.560 in two thousand tests a day in some states. What 1:18:43.640 --> 1:18:46.559 are what are you going to do? Well, that's actually 1:18:46.720 --> 1:18:49.320 that's actually an important and important place that I want 1:18:49.360 --> 1:18:50.640 to just take a pause and bring you up to 1:18:50.680 --> 1:18:54.960 speakcause we keep hearing about how other countries have controlled this, 1:18:55.760 --> 1:19:02.679 let's do what they do. We keep hearing that, Well, 1:19:02.760 --> 1:19:06.960 here's a thread on Twitter from somebody who is a 1:19:10.200 --> 1:19:15.000 I believe he's a professor or he's talking about what 1:19:15.120 --> 1:19:20.080 he's learned from a professor in South Korea. And here 1:19:20.240 --> 1:19:23.040 is the here's the thread which which is a remarkable, 1:19:24.520 --> 1:19:28.080 a remarkable series of steps. And I check these out 1:19:28.120 --> 1:19:30.840 of the weekend and it and it adds up. This 1:19:31.040 --> 1:19:33.080 is what this is what we're hearing about what's going 1:19:33.160 --> 1:19:38.040 on in in South Korea because we're told, oh, we could, 1:19:38.040 --> 1:19:42.040 we could do what they do and and here oh 1:19:42.120 --> 1:19:44.439 he goes as an American South Korea. It's very interesting 1:19:44.520 --> 1:19:48.280 to me, the star contrast of how different the two 1:19:48.360 --> 1:19:51.040 countries response to coronavirus is. This gentleman's name is Michael 1:19:51.080 --> 1:19:53.960 came on Twitter this this one completely megaviral over the weekend, 1:19:54.040 --> 1:19:56.920 this tweet, and it's this whole thread of what of 1:19:57.000 --> 1:19:59.800 what's going on in that country? And we should know 1:20:00.640 --> 1:20:02.680 he's telling you people say, oh, we'll do it like 1:20:02.760 --> 1:20:05.040 South Korea. Here's what they're doing in South Korea, folks, 1:20:05.760 --> 1:20:07.559 And they still have cases and they still have people 1:20:07.640 --> 1:20:11.080 dying from it. Quote upon arrival, they take your temperature 1:20:11.080 --> 1:20:13.839 at the airport and ask if you've experienced any symptoms. 1:20:14.280 --> 1:20:16.200 If you have, they move you to a separate area 1:20:16.280 --> 1:20:19.040 and give you a coronavirus test. If you haven't, they 1:20:19.080 --> 1:20:21.799 take you to another area and interview you. They also 1:20:22.000 --> 1:20:26.800 install ankle bracelets. You are required to install an app 1:20:26.880 --> 1:20:30.160 on your phone and enable location tracking all the time. 1:20:30.720 --> 1:20:33.200 You are required to self report symptoms in the app 1:20:33.280 --> 1:20:35.800 twice a day. If you don't have symptoms, you need 1:20:35.840 --> 1:20:38.479 to report that too. This goes on for a period 1:20:38.800 --> 1:20:41.960 of fourteen days. During this time, you are not allowed 1:20:42.000 --> 1:20:44.439 to leave the quarantine dormitory. They put you in a 1:20:44.479 --> 1:20:47.040 dormitory or your home if you've chosen to self isolate 1:20:47.080 --> 1:20:48.200 at home. So if you don't have a home, you 1:20:48.280 --> 1:20:53.000 go into a quarantine dormitory mandated by the state. You 1:20:53.120 --> 1:20:56.479 cannot take public transportation or taxi, and you cannot self 1:20:56.560 --> 1:20:59.680 isolate in a hotel or airbnb. If you don't have 1:20:59.760 --> 1:21:04.640 a home, you must use the dorm. If you break quarantine, 1:21:04.680 --> 1:21:08.639 you will find ten thousand US dollars and face jail time. Also, 1:21:08.840 --> 1:21:12.200 they check your location on the phone frequently. My wife 1:21:12.280 --> 1:21:15.360 had her location checked thirty seven times in a three 1:21:15.439 --> 1:21:18.800 day span, and they've called enterprising folks who leave their 1:21:18.840 --> 1:21:22.280 phone at home and go out. During this self isolation, 1:21:22.680 --> 1:21:25.559 you cannot have contact with anyone during this time. They 1:21:25.640 --> 1:21:28.360 give you special trash bags to throw away your trash in, 1:21:28.800 --> 1:21:32.080 and people in hazmat suits come and collect your trash 1:21:32.600 --> 1:21:36.360 upon request. You are assigned to a caseworker who is 1:21:36.400 --> 1:21:39.639 responsible for making sure you are following all the orders. 1:21:40.120 --> 1:21:42.040 They will call you and text you to make sure 1:21:42.080 --> 1:21:45.360 you are okay. They will also send you care packages 1:21:45.400 --> 1:21:48.240 that contain a lot of food, gloves and masks, etc. 1:21:49.280 --> 1:21:52.120 If there is a new coronavirus case in your general area, 1:21:52.439 --> 1:21:55.200 same city or district, you get a public safety alert 1:21:55.280 --> 1:21:58.360 on your phone that tells you about the person age, male, female, 1:21:58.400 --> 1:22:02.960 city and provides updates as they receive them. I forgot 1:22:03.040 --> 1:22:05.639 to mention. Korea also has mobilized their army to provide 1:22:05.640 --> 1:22:08.760 more operations and logistics support at the airport. We were 1:22:08.840 --> 1:22:11.360 required to get a COVID nineteen tests within three days 1:22:11.400 --> 1:22:14.000 of arriving, which is the only activity that's allowed to 1:22:14.040 --> 1:22:16.720 break quarantine. You have to do this in coordination with 1:22:16.760 --> 1:22:22.120 the caseworker. I mean there's absolutely no protests or demonstrations 1:22:22.120 --> 1:22:26.200 about the anti freedom measures or invasion of privacy. Everyone 1:22:26.240 --> 1:22:29.479 seems to accept these measures, while we still take precautions 1:22:29.479 --> 1:22:31.920 like wearing masks, washing hands, etc. I feel pretty confident 1:22:31.960 --> 1:22:34.160 that the government knows everyone who has coronavirus and is 1:22:34.160 --> 1:22:39.439 tracking things very closely. Contrast this with the situation in 1:22:39.479 --> 1:22:42.520 the US. No one really knows everyone who has coronavirus, 1:22:42.560 --> 1:22:44.120 so you have to assume everyone has it and there's 1:22:44.160 --> 1:22:48.160 no actionable plan. Can you imagine trying to do this 1:22:48.280 --> 1:22:51.720 in America? This country is just not I mean at 1:22:51.760 --> 1:22:54.320 least half of us not going to comply with this 1:22:54.439 --> 1:22:58.040 ankle bracelets, monitoring, checking in with government authorities multiple times 1:22:58.040 --> 1:23:00.160 a day, What are your symptoms? Where are you? You're 1:23:00.160 --> 1:23:02.720 staying in this government to prove quarantine home if you 1:23:02.800 --> 1:23:04.840 don't have a home, ten thousand dollars, fine, if you 1:23:04.880 --> 1:23:07.320 decide to go out and get a sandwich, my friends, 1:23:07.520 --> 1:23:09.080 does anyone really think that we could do this, We 1:23:09.120 --> 1:23:11.599 would do this, we should do this. That's what's going 1:23:11.640 --> 1:23:13.360 on in South Korea, and South Korea still has cases 1:23:13.360 --> 1:23:15.720 of the virus, people still die from it. Can you 1:23:15.840 --> 1:23:19.280 imagine this degree. The government's gonna put an ankle bracelet 1:23:19.320 --> 1:23:21.519 on you like a criminal and monitor you through your 1:23:21.520 --> 1:23:24.040 own smartphone app multiple times a day, and you have 1:23:24.120 --> 1:23:27.040 no choice. You have to comply with this for a 1:23:27.120 --> 1:23:30.080 disease that kills less than one percent of the people 1:23:30.080 --> 1:23:32.719 who get it, and we've already had about a third 1:23:32.840 --> 1:23:36.760 in New York City of all people get it. We're 1:23:36.800 --> 1:23:38.880 gonna We're gonna do that. You're gonna do that in 1:23:38.920 --> 1:23:41.160 states that have had less than a thousand fatalities from 1:23:41.200 --> 1:23:45.040 this ankle brace. Think of the massive program here, the plan, 1:23:46.280 --> 1:23:50.799 hundreds of millions of people in this country, twenty million illegals. 1:23:51.760 --> 1:23:54.120 Just well, you know, we've got more illegals, and they've 1:23:54.160 --> 1:23:55.880 got people in a lot of these countries that are 1:23:55.960 --> 1:23:59.160 trying these different measures. I mean, I think South Korea's 1:23:59.160 --> 1:24:02.880 got fifty million, Sweden's got ten million. You look at these, 1:24:02.960 --> 1:24:05.439 and Sweden's done the opposite approach of they'll like, let 1:24:05.520 --> 1:24:07.439 people live life. Sweden was right by the way, and 1:24:07.520 --> 1:24:10.519 everyone I love people keep saying, oh, we're not like 1:24:10.640 --> 1:24:13.840 Sweden enough to model, to use their approach as a model. 1:24:14.280 --> 1:24:16.639 We're like South boat let's do the South Korea maneuver. 1:24:17.120 --> 1:24:19.800 You think we're like, we're more like South Korea culturally, 1:24:19.880 --> 1:24:22.240 economically and politically than we are like Sweden. I mean, 1:24:22.400 --> 1:24:24.840 I guess you can make it a case, but I 1:24:24.920 --> 1:24:28.599 don't know we're not going to do the South Korea model, 1:24:28.680 --> 1:24:31.120 So people who are sent yelling tests in trace, this 1:24:31.320 --> 1:24:33.040 is just a delay. This is a fantasy because they 1:24:33.040 --> 1:24:34.600 don't want to admit that we have to open We 1:24:34.840 --> 1:24:40.200 have to open the country up. It's not perfect. It's 1:24:40.240 --> 1:24:42.760 not perfect. Now, people have been dying every single day 1:24:42.800 --> 1:24:45.880 of lockdown. Thousands and thousands and thousands of them died 1:24:46.040 --> 1:24:50.400 during lockdown. So lockdown, we assume saved all these lives, 1:24:51.080 --> 1:24:53.439 but is it really saving lives? Just look at what's 1:24:53.439 --> 1:24:55.519 going on in the nursing homes. How much worse would 1:24:55.520 --> 1:24:57.000 it have been in the nursing homes if we had 1:24:57.040 --> 1:24:59.479 just told people to social distance but keep going to work. 1:25:00.080 --> 1:25:01.400 These are the questions that a lot of people in 1:25:01.479 --> 1:25:04.480 charge don't want to answer because they've forced us. We're 1:25:04.520 --> 1:25:07.320 in a pandemic and they forced us into a depression 1:25:07.520 --> 1:25:09.639 that did not have to be. That's what the real 1:25:09.720 --> 1:25:14.320 problem is that they have. You're in the Freedom Hunt. 1:25:14.760 --> 1:25:21.519 This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. And we also 1:25:21.680 --> 1:25:25.320 know from their own customs data that they vacuumed up 1:25:25.800 --> 1:25:29.439 virtually all of the world's personal protective equipment, including over 1:25:29.720 --> 1:25:33.240 two billion masks. And we also know that today what 1:25:33.439 --> 1:25:36.800 China is doing sitting on that stockpile of what we 1:25:36.920 --> 1:25:41.160 call PPE is they're selling it at profits, hearing prices 1:25:41.240 --> 1:25:44.559 to some and to other countries. They're actually putting pressure 1:25:44.640 --> 1:25:48.000 on those countries to deny that virus came from China, 1:25:48.400 --> 1:25:52.920 or to talk about Taiwan or do other things. China 1:25:53.240 --> 1:25:55.640 hoarding PPE when they knew that this was about to 1:25:55.760 --> 1:25:57.920 hit all these countries all over the world. And there's 1:25:57.960 --> 1:26:00.400 even more than that. I mean, look, the China relationship 1:26:00.439 --> 1:26:02.240 between not just the US, but the world in China 1:26:02.320 --> 1:26:03.639 is never going to be the same after this, which 1:26:03.720 --> 1:26:05.840 is a good thing. This has been. This has been 1:26:05.880 --> 1:26:08.680 a wake up call. It is a necessary wake up 1:26:08.760 --> 1:26:13.640 call for us in this country that China should not 1:26:13.880 --> 1:26:15.880 be treated like it's a nation that if it just 1:26:15.960 --> 1:26:18.840 becomes wealthier and more influential, is going to be happy 1:26:18.880 --> 1:26:20.559 with that and everyone's going to live happily ever after 1:26:20.640 --> 1:26:22.519 and the rest of the world that's not the case. 1:26:23.560 --> 1:26:30.600 China is a economically rapacious, authoritarian regime that has aspirations 1:26:30.640 --> 1:26:33.519 of global dominance, of being the hegemon, of pushing the 1:26:33.600 --> 1:26:38.160 United States aside, and this current competition we're in for 1:26:38.439 --> 1:26:44.000 stabilizing and reopening our societies. This is a civilizations in 1:26:44.120 --> 1:26:47.360 the balance kind of moment. How are we going to 1:26:48.439 --> 1:26:50.120 end up in this whole thing versus how is the 1:26:50.200 --> 1:26:52.439 Chinese government going to do? This is a question that 1:26:52.479 --> 1:26:53.840 we're all going to have to face. We're all gonna 1:26:53.840 --> 1:26:56.640 have to take we should be taking very seriously. Right now, 1:26:57.560 --> 1:27:01.160 it looks like China might be able to get up 1:27:01.200 --> 1:27:04.200 and running faster than we are after being knocked down 1:27:04.280 --> 1:27:07.000 by this virus that they caused and then hid from 1:27:07.000 --> 1:27:10.320 the rest of the world. And on top of that, 1:27:10.880 --> 1:27:13.880 they're also using this as an opportunity. Even when we 1:27:13.920 --> 1:27:17.280 would think that the world perhaps is linked arm in arm, 1:27:17.720 --> 1:27:21.400 all pushing all fighting against this virus. Even when you 1:27:21.479 --> 1:27:24.960 think that's the case, guess what, the Chinese government is 1:27:25.000 --> 1:27:30.559 still looking to gain advantage in this whole process. Us 1:27:30.600 --> 1:27:34.800 to accuse China of trying to hack vaccine data as 1:27:34.960 --> 1:27:40.840 virus redirects cyber attacks. That's quite a headline from the 1:27:40.920 --> 1:27:43.240 New York Times today. Here's what they're telling us. The 1:27:43.320 --> 1:27:45.680 FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are preparing to 1:27:45.800 --> 1:27:49.280 issue a warning that China's most skilled hackers and spies 1:27:49.360 --> 1:27:52.640 are trying are working to steal American research and the 1:27:52.720 --> 1:27:56.080 crash effort to develop vaccines and treatments for the coronavirus. 1:27:56.600 --> 1:27:58.800 The efforts are part of a surge in cyber theft 1:27:58.840 --> 1:28:03.720 and attacks by nation seeking advantage in the pandemic. That's right, 1:28:03.920 --> 1:28:06.760 China is viewing this moment when we're there's a few 1:28:06.880 --> 1:28:11.000 reasons for vulnerability here. We are distracted by the pandemic, 1:28:11.400 --> 1:28:14.880 we are wounded and slowed down by the pandemic. And 1:28:15.080 --> 1:28:19.719 there's also a greater sense of openness and transparency around 1:28:20.320 --> 1:28:26.040 a lot of proprietary pharmaceutical, medical and scientific information. Right 1:28:26.120 --> 1:28:28.960 we're all supposed to be doing what we can to 1:28:29.120 --> 1:28:32.479 beat this virus, and I've I've talked to doctor friends 1:28:32.520 --> 1:28:36.800 here in New York who are saying that this is 1:28:38.160 --> 1:28:40.040 a moment in time. They've never seen anything like it 1:28:40.120 --> 1:28:43.600 where there's so much free sharing of information among the 1:28:43.640 --> 1:28:47.519 global medical community. Now hasn't really, I mean, it's been helpful, 1:28:47.600 --> 1:28:51.599 but it has not created any major breakthrough yet against 1:28:51.640 --> 1:28:55.479 the virus. But in that environment, the Chinese government is 1:28:55.560 --> 1:29:00.479 having its state sponsored hackers and state paid hackers. I mean, 1:29:00.600 --> 1:29:03.200 some of these are people at work for the Chinese government. 1:29:03.320 --> 1:29:06.040 You know, they have some that are there's plausible deniability 1:29:06.080 --> 1:29:08.679 with the hacking. There's others that are just the Chinese 1:29:08.720 --> 1:29:12.280 Communist Parties internal security apparatus doing this at the behests 1:29:12.320 --> 1:29:16.840 of the Chinese military and the Chinese government. They're trying 1:29:16.880 --> 1:29:19.320 to use us as an opportunity to steal more. Once again, 1:29:19.400 --> 1:29:22.599 this is what they do. They steal sensitive and valuable information, 1:29:22.760 --> 1:29:25.560 and that is what they're up to right now. And 1:29:26.680 --> 1:29:31.600 it's um, it's just wrong. It's just wrong. Are we 1:29:31.640 --> 1:29:33.360 going to hold them accountable for this? I mean that's 1:29:33.360 --> 1:29:35.760 the most obviously, Buck is like, it's naughty what they're doing. No, 1:29:35.880 --> 1:29:38.519 I know, But are we gonna No? I don't think we. 1:29:38.840 --> 1:29:40.559 I think we're too busy and they know that we're 1:29:40.680 --> 1:29:43.080 focused on other things. So even while they're trying to 1:29:43.200 --> 1:29:47.719 steal vaccine information from us, we can't we can't trust 1:29:47.800 --> 1:29:49.920 the Chinese government to work with us even on even 1:29:50.080 --> 1:29:53.240 on this issue. They're trying to steal instead of collaborate. 1:29:53.640 --> 1:29:56.760 That is the Chinese Communist Party. Thanks for listening to 1:29:56.840 --> 1:30:01.080 the Buss and Show podcast.

I thought he was really sexy, 1:30:08.920 --> 1:30:14.960 and you know he was he was he was. He 1:30:15.160 --> 1:30:20.840 just oozed decency and in integrity. He was kind and 1:30:21.040 --> 1:30:24.840 caring and all of those things. And so after the dinner, 1:30:24.920 --> 1:30:27.560 and after the dinner everybody left the table, he and 1:30:27.680 --> 1:30:31.360 I were still locked in conversation, and on their way home, 1:30:31.439 --> 1:30:34.680 I said to my husband Ben Bradley, Um, you know, 1:30:34.880 --> 1:30:37.640 I found the guy. I found the perfect person for 1:30:37.720 --> 1:30:39.400 her to have an affair with, because she had been 1:30:39.479 --> 1:30:41.680 married to the president who was a jerk, and she 1:30:41.840 --> 1:30:44.360 wasn't really in love with him, and he was totally 1:30:45.200 --> 1:30:49.120 in love and involved with himself. And here was Tony Fauci, 1:30:49.240 --> 1:30:53.120 who and even though he was famous and you know, 1:30:53.280 --> 1:30:57.720 well respected and all that, didn't care about fame or 1:30:57.920 --> 1:31:03.320 money or power. He Fauci should do good. Mark. I thought, 1:31:03.360 --> 1:31:05.719 I thought that this Sally Quid lady was talking about 1:31:05.760 --> 1:31:08.160 me at the start here, I mean, I'm sorry, I 1:31:08.240 --> 1:31:10.479 should cut out the end. So everyone thought she was 1:31:10.520 --> 1:31:13.920 talking about you. Here's this guy who's really sexy, who's 1:31:14.040 --> 1:31:17.160 decency and integrity. I'm like, apparently she listens to the 1:31:17.240 --> 1:31:20.200 Buck Sexton Show or watches me on Pluto TV. I 1:31:20.200 --> 1:31:22.040 don't know what he ate the first. I don't think 1:31:22.040 --> 1:31:24.040 you can even get snow Princess to say nice things 1:31:24.080 --> 1:31:26.120 like that about you, not like that, you know, who's 1:31:26.280 --> 1:31:29.120 decency and integrity and was really sexy. I mean hopefully 1:31:29.160 --> 1:31:30.720 she thinks that, but I don't think she'd ever say 1:31:30.760 --> 1:31:33.720 that in public. And I just I love this though. Yeah, 1:31:33.880 --> 1:31:37.519 doctor Fauci, Yeah, O, here we are. I'm I'm a 1:31:37.640 --> 1:31:43.439 sex machine, I'm a superb I'm a super stud muffin Fauci. 1:31:43.720 --> 1:31:46.600 I'm like, come on, man, really, this is where we 1:31:46.640 --> 1:31:50.320 are with this. I don't know what's more disturbing your 1:31:50.360 --> 1:31:54.559 Fauci impression saying he's sexy or the Warren impression doing 1:31:54.880 --> 1:31:57.439 loving the rock. Oh man, that was one of our. 1:31:57.479 --> 1:31:59.000 That was one of our. That was one of the 1:31:59.080 --> 1:32:00.920 moments on the show that people really remember. I could. 1:32:01.240 --> 1:32:03.120 I can't even like conjure it up in my own head, 1:32:03.160 --> 1:32:04.880 but I remember listening back to it and I was like, Wow, 1:32:04.960 --> 1:32:07.559 we really took that to another place. I'm not even 1:32:07.600 --> 1:32:10.400 sure what place we went to. He's a sex shopan 1:32:10.520 --> 1:32:13.960 with those pectoralis major muscle school. I just want to 1:32:14.040 --> 1:32:19.680 touch Elizabeth Warren. Oh Hey, so where were we? Oh? Yes, 1:32:20.000 --> 1:32:21.960 this was the point where I just said, yeah, that's right. 1:32:22.000 --> 1:32:24.760 Anthony Fauci to Libs is a sex symbol. Now that's 1:32:24.760 --> 1:32:26.839 how that's how insane these people look. I mean, Fauci's 1:32:26.840 --> 1:32:28.479 a nice guy, and he's a handsome, older gentleman and 1:32:28.479 --> 1:32:30.640 all that. I'm I'm not trying to be rude about it, 1:32:30.680 --> 1:32:32.599 but I mean, come on, let's not be insane, folks, right, 1:32:32.800 --> 1:32:37.240 it's just so weird. Why why revere this public health 1:32:37.280 --> 1:32:40.640 expert in this way? I will say doctor Burkes's scarves 1:32:40.960 --> 1:32:44.920 from when I stand from the ladies, very fashionable, very fashionable. 1:32:45.000 --> 1:32:46.200 I don't know if you've ever seen that or not 1:32:46.280 --> 1:32:48.720 already heard that or not. Prucer mark this missus Mark 1:32:49.360 --> 1:32:52.519 like the scarves of the doctor Burks. No, I think 1:32:52.600 --> 1:32:59.559 that's an older age demographic, Joy older. Pardon me, excuse me, Buck, older, 1:33:00.320 --> 1:33:06.960 I said it nicely, Yeah, an older lady thing. All right, 1:33:07.360 --> 1:33:08.840 this is where we can do roll call, so Buck 1:33:08.880 --> 1:33:14.080 stops making an ass of himself. Hit it. The show 1:33:14.160 --> 1:33:22.600 ain't over yet, folks, keeping it real. It's time for 1:33:22.800 --> 1:33:34.320 roll call, all right, Rick Ryan's hey bucking producer Mark 1:33:34.400 --> 1:33:37.240 listening to Thursday's podcast. It was a pleasant surprise to 1:33:37.400 --> 1:33:42.080 hear Mike Slater on your show. Although I've never met him, 1:33:42.120 --> 1:33:43.439 I did get to talk to him a few times 1:33:43.479 --> 1:33:45.240 on a Saturday show back in the day. I agree 1:33:45.240 --> 1:33:47.840 with you, he's a good and nice guy. So glad 1:33:47.880 --> 1:33:50.439 that you, Mike, and Dana are metaphorically together again. And 1:33:50.600 --> 1:33:52.920 Jesse's like the cherry on top. You all do such 1:33:52.960 --> 1:33:55.680 a great job. Nice catch on the Cincinnatis reference, by 1:33:55.760 --> 1:33:59.200 the way, shields high. Well, thanks so much. Rick. Yeah, look, 1:33:59.240 --> 1:34:01.320 we've got we've got a great crew at the first 1:34:01.400 --> 1:34:04.560 that they've pulled together, and Mike Slater is one of 1:34:04.600 --> 1:34:07.479 the most earnest, nice, good dudes you'll find in this business. 1:34:07.600 --> 1:34:09.960 Jesse Kelly, by the way, is also super nice, but 1:34:10.120 --> 1:34:12.120 is don't tell him I said that because his head's 1:34:12.160 --> 1:34:15.479 big enough. But it's obviously a hilarious guy and is 1:34:15.479 --> 1:34:19.120 a really really astute political analyst and observer too. And 1:34:19.240 --> 1:34:25.000 then Dana Lash needs no accolades or you know, you know, 1:34:25.640 --> 1:34:27.800 high fives for me. I mean, Dana's Dana. Everyone knows 1:34:27.880 --> 1:34:31.439 Dana's work and she's fantastic, so uh yeah, I mean, 1:34:31.439 --> 1:34:33.040 we got a really good we got a really good crew, 1:34:33.160 --> 1:34:36.840 really good squad. And as for the Cincinnatis reference, qure 1:34:36.840 --> 1:34:38.639 you're gonna throw an ancient Rome reference. You're gonna slip 1:34:38.680 --> 1:34:40.760 that one past the buckster. I don't think so, not 1:34:40.880 --> 1:34:44.000 on my watch. And yeah, thank you so much. I 1:34:44.120 --> 1:34:47.320 appreciate you Rick writing in and joining us and all that. 1:34:47.600 --> 1:34:50.599 Adam writes, buck does Commy Bear play speed chest shields high? 1:34:51.720 --> 1:34:56.320 So Adam, uh, Commy Bear speed Chess. You know, Commy 1:34:56.400 --> 1:34:58.360 Bear is a character we created that people keep asking 1:34:58.400 --> 1:35:00.320 for me to bring him back. I don't know. I 1:35:00.360 --> 1:35:02.560 feel like some people think it's just that they're not 1:35:02.720 --> 1:35:05.519 into it, and other people really like it. I kind 1:35:05.560 --> 1:35:07.439 of want to do it and bring him back, but 1:35:07.520 --> 1:35:09.240 I don't know how. I guess we could now on 1:35:09.280 --> 1:35:11.439 the first but it was kind of a gag. I 1:35:11.479 --> 1:35:13.320 don't know. I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking about a producer. 1:35:13.360 --> 1:35:15.400 Mark probably isn't know what Commy Bear is. I've heard 1:35:15.439 --> 1:35:17.080 of it, I've never actually seen it, but you know, 1:35:17.600 --> 1:35:19.880 there's some there might be some old YouTube videos bouncing 1:35:19.960 --> 1:35:23.200 around of Commy Bear doing his thing. But as I 1:35:23.280 --> 1:35:25.519 was gonna say, it sounds like a great YouTube video 1:35:25.960 --> 1:35:28.880 for us that might be a good thing on the 1:35:28.920 --> 1:35:31.640 YouTube dot com slash buck sex in YouTube channel that 1:35:31.760 --> 1:35:34.160 we have launched. That is fantastic and everybody listening to 1:35:34.240 --> 1:35:36.320 this should subscribe to because there'll be more and more 1:35:36.400 --> 1:35:39.720 content on that going forward. So yeah, maybe commy bear 1:35:39.800 --> 1:35:41.200 we could bring bet it was like a little bear 1:35:42.120 --> 1:35:45.000 that is a little bottle of vodka in AK forty seven, 1:35:45.120 --> 1:35:48.160 and who would give his thoughts on Taylor Swift Beyonce 1:35:48.520 --> 1:35:53.120 politics and socialism, which would probably a good time. All right, 1:35:53.200 --> 1:35:54.880 all right, I'm kind of selling myself phone as we're 1:35:54.880 --> 1:35:56.559 thinking about it. Does he play speed chests of course 1:35:56.600 --> 1:35:58.679 and he always wins or also bust out his AK 1:35:58.880 --> 1:36:03.439 on you, his tiny tiny AK forty seven. Kyle Buck, 1:36:03.479 --> 1:36:06.639 you're absolutely on point with General Flynn. When this whole 1:36:06.680 --> 1:36:09.160 thing started, I argued with lib and said, the only 1:36:09.240 --> 1:36:10.680 thing that was proven is that you never sit down 1:36:10.720 --> 1:36:13.479 a chat with an FBI agent unless you're lawyers present. 1:36:13.800 --> 1:36:16.760 Between Flynn, Kavanaugh, the Muller investigation and impeachment, it's like 1:36:16.800 --> 1:36:20.120 the progressive concept of justice is like something you'd hear 1:36:20.120 --> 1:36:22.439 from someone who escaped the Soviet Union or some third 1:36:22.520 --> 1:36:25.479 world blank hole country. Great show, love your take on 1:36:25.560 --> 1:36:28.400 things and the color commentary of producer Mark Yep. The 1:36:28.479 --> 1:36:31.519 penalty Box is a much much revered addition to the 1:36:31.600 --> 1:36:37.840 show aka producer Mark commentary. And as for as for Flynn, Yeah, no, 1:36:37.960 --> 1:36:39.960 I appreciate that. I think that people have lost their 1:36:40.000 --> 1:36:42.400 minds on this Flynn case on the left and they 1:36:42.600 --> 1:36:44.679 no longer can be reasoned with. And as for the FBI, 1:36:46.160 --> 1:36:47.800 I wouldn't sit down with the FBI at a lawyer, 1:36:48.320 --> 1:36:50.360 and I used to work with the FBI. I mean 1:36:50.360 --> 1:36:52.240 I actually do things with the FBI when I was CIA, 1:36:52.320 --> 1:36:57.559 when I was at MPD Intel Division analyst. Yeah, I would. 1:36:58.680 --> 1:37:00.679 Now we'd not talk to them. Now if the FBI 1:37:00.800 --> 1:37:01.920 called me and they're like, hey, Buck, can we sit 1:37:01.920 --> 1:37:04.360 down and chatty with something, and be like Nope, that 1:37:04.479 --> 1:37:08.000 is a no. So we'll take that for what it's worth. 1:37:08.040 --> 1:37:10.920 And I'm on, I'm rooting for law enforcement and I'm 1:37:10.960 --> 1:37:13.080 rooting for the rule of law every every day, every 1:37:13.120 --> 1:37:16.960 time I can, every way I can. But sorry, man, 1:37:17.760 --> 1:37:19.920 you know, I after watching that Waco series and now this, 1:37:20.080 --> 1:37:21.880 I mean I already knew about the Waco stuff before, 1:37:21.920 --> 1:37:24.040 but the series kind of brought it all home for you. Mark, 1:37:24.080 --> 1:37:26.840 did you finish it yeah, I finish it before you remember. 1:37:27.040 --> 1:37:28.600 Oh that's right. Yeah, you told me to watch it, 1:37:28.640 --> 1:37:29.800 I think, or he told me that it was good. 1:37:29.960 --> 1:37:34.240 To finish it. It was good, which reminds me. I 1:37:34.439 --> 1:37:36.920 have watched two movies over the weekend on the advice 1:37:37.000 --> 1:37:39.040 of one producer Mark as well as many of you 1:37:39.120 --> 1:37:41.920 who write in. One of them was Uncut Gems. One 1:37:41.960 --> 1:37:44.320 of them was Winter Soldier. One of them I found 1:37:45.000 --> 1:37:48.360 highly entertaining, and the other one I thought I was 1:37:48.400 --> 1:37:50.479 going to have to stab my eyes out with a 1:37:50.600 --> 1:37:53.400 blunt object. Which one is? Which? Producer Mark? I don't 1:37:53.400 --> 1:37:55.840 even this is a stupid question. We both know you 1:37:56.000 --> 1:37:58.840 liked Uncut Gems and you didn't like Winter Soldier because 1:37:58.880 --> 1:38:02.360 you have some person little vendetta against Marvel movies. Well, 1:38:02.439 --> 1:38:05.040 I will have you know that you have it backwards. 1:38:05.200 --> 1:38:10.880 No way. Yes, I liked Winter Soldier. I hated on 1:38:11.160 --> 1:38:14.880 Good House It was so good. Is there to like 1:38:15.160 --> 1:38:17.840 in the movie? Is cursing every three seconds? And the 1:38:17.960 --> 1:38:20.799 guy's horrible and he's because he's a he's a mobster 1:38:20.960 --> 1:38:26.240 from Brooklyn. Oh, oh, of course he's cursing every five seconds. 1:38:26.400 --> 1:38:28.519 I've never seen any like him. Is he a mobster? 1:38:28.800 --> 1:38:30.360 I don't know a mobster, but you know what I mean, 1:38:30.439 --> 1:38:33.000 he's a were a jewelry guy from Long Island or 1:38:33.000 --> 1:38:36.960 wherever he was from New York. I also couldn't understand 1:38:37.000 --> 1:38:38.640 a lot of the dialogue. I was gonna say it, 1:38:38.960 --> 1:38:42.320 you're from New York, I know, but there was a 1:38:42.360 --> 1:38:45.080 lot of everyone was talking so fast and cursing, and 1:38:45.760 --> 1:38:47.840 You're like the only person who I've heard that's watched 1:38:47.880 --> 1:38:49.920 that movie that I said this. I know, I dude, 1:38:49.960 --> 1:38:51.680 I know. I'm just telling Well, though I watched it 1:38:51.760 --> 1:38:53.840 with I watched it with a couple of family members, 1:38:54.400 --> 1:38:56.160 and I'll tell you that they were not They were 1:38:56.200 --> 1:38:58.280 not fans either, man. I mean we were like, what, 1:38:58.720 --> 1:39:02.160 here's what I what is the point of the movie? 1:39:02.479 --> 1:39:04.439 That's what it didn't make clear. I mean that there's 1:39:04.479 --> 1:39:06.880 some magic that this stone has. Anyone who has the stone, 1:39:07.000 --> 1:39:08.519 things are going well, and then you lose the stone 1:39:08.560 --> 1:39:11.320 and things go badly. And actually it's not actually the stone. 1:39:12.560 --> 1:39:16.000 It's just a story. You don't have to will I 1:39:16.000 --> 1:39:19.840 don't know. I got over my Avengers thing because I 1:39:19.960 --> 1:39:22.160 realized that somebody who likes the Marvel comics I should 1:39:22.200 --> 1:39:24.519 probably just try to you know, stuff, and The Winter 1:39:24.680 --> 1:39:28.599 Soldier was an entertaining and well made film. Yes, everyone 1:39:28.680 --> 1:39:31.240 says that's one of the best, The Winter Soldier, the 1:39:31.400 --> 1:39:34.000 Captain America, when I'm also I just like Captain America 1:39:34.040 --> 1:39:37.120 because like America and freedom and stuff. So I thought that. 1:39:37.160 --> 1:39:38.560 I thought that one was pretty good. And now I 1:39:38.680 --> 1:39:41.120 liked it so much that I'm willing because I have 1:39:41.200 --> 1:39:42.920 Disney Plus to go and watch some of the other 1:39:43.000 --> 1:39:47.240 Avengers movies. I'm glad maybe we'll finally get But you 1:39:47.320 --> 1:39:48.960 know you're for me. You're one for two on this one. 1:39:49.000 --> 1:39:50.760 You're one for two. You got me a watch Winter Soldier, 1:39:50.840 --> 1:39:55.120 which I liked. Uncut gems though so much. Curse everyone's 1:39:55.400 --> 1:39:57.880 and everyone's so mean to each other. Why are they 1:39:57.960 --> 1:40:02.040 all so mean? You sound like a grandmother that watched 1:40:02.120 --> 1:40:03.840 this movie. Yeah, that's kind of what I felt like. 1:40:03.920 --> 1:40:05.400 I was like, I don't, I don't like this. They're 1:40:05.439 --> 1:40:08.719 all what the potty mouths and the being mean and yeah, 1:40:08.720 --> 1:40:12.000 because you never curse when you're not on the radio. No, no, 1:40:12.479 --> 1:40:15.560 I never do that. I look, I watched it, I 1:40:15.640 --> 1:40:17.800 gave I gave it a shot. I did like his 1:40:18.280 --> 1:40:22.240 um assistant or whatever or just the other sales lady. 1:40:23.040 --> 1:40:26.160 She was nice. I like her, the one that he 1:40:26.320 --> 1:40:28.960 is in an affair with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the U. 1:40:30.200 --> 1:40:35.679 I believe. I believe in a mobster speak, she would 1:40:35.720 --> 1:40:39.680 be referred to as a gumar. Sure right, that's I 1:40:39.720 --> 1:40:43.120 believe what you call a mistress. Yes, yes, so I 1:40:43.200 --> 1:40:46.479 believe it was his gumar. But he's not an Italian mobster, 1:40:46.560 --> 1:40:48.000 so it doesn't really make it. But there are mobsters 1:40:48.040 --> 1:40:49.439 in the movie. Yeah, I can't keep it. He's a 1:40:49.520 --> 1:40:53.920 Jewish mobster? Is there a Is there a Jewish Yiddish 1:40:54.000 --> 1:40:57.360 equivalent of a of the Italian word for mistress? Like? 1:40:57.479 --> 1:40:58.920 Is there something that I know off the top of 1:40:59.000 --> 1:41:02.479 my head? I'm just saying all right, but h And 1:41:02.600 --> 1:41:04.280 also I had never I mean that there was the 1:41:04.360 --> 1:41:06.880 scene that they're having a passover, right, wasn't that a 1:41:06.880 --> 1:41:09.800 passover dinner? Yes? Yeah, yeah, I've never been to one 1:41:09.800 --> 1:41:12.200 of those, so you gotta invite me sometime. It's not fun. 1:41:12.439 --> 1:41:16.280 You can't eat any bread, crap, that's a bad holiday. 1:41:16.960 --> 1:41:19.240 What happens to what happens to people? Like what happens? 1:41:19.240 --> 1:41:21.040 The weirdo was like me, they can't eat bread when 1:41:21.080 --> 1:41:23.160 they only I mean, this is a problem. I'm curious. 1:41:23.400 --> 1:41:26.760 Can you eat mazza? I don't think so. I don't 1:41:26.800 --> 1:41:29.320 think it has yeast in it doesn't have yeast, but 1:41:29.400 --> 1:41:32.120 it has flour y, yeah, has wheat. Yeah. I wonder 1:41:32.120 --> 1:41:33.920 if they make gluten free mazza. I'll look into it. 1:41:34.000 --> 1:41:35.920 You don't want you let me you find some gluten freemonts. 1:41:35.960 --> 1:41:37.559 I'm coming over you and missus mark A're gonna put 1:41:37.600 --> 1:41:39.759 me through my first I've never even been to a satyr, 1:41:40.160 --> 1:41:43.280 although my first girlfriend was Jewish. Actually, you'll love the 1:41:43.360 --> 1:41:46.600 main course, which is usually brisket. I mean, I do 1:41:46.720 --> 1:41:50.479 love briskets. It is interesting. Brisket is a staple of 1:41:51.160 --> 1:41:55.679 sort of Jewish cultural cuisine as well as southern barbecue. Yeah. 1:41:55.720 --> 1:42:01.719 It is a weird crossover but made completely differently, right right, yeah, interesting. 1:42:04.360 --> 1:42:08.320 You're in the freedom.

Those are reason 1:42:55.000 --> 1:42:59.720 why I go toos Bab and Susie very quest. Yeah, 1:43:00.160 --> 1:43:04.559 well not but not a yuper necessarily right. I said it, right, 1:43:04.840 --> 1:43:08.320 you did. I learned things I'll ever forget. When someone 1:43:08.360 --> 1:43:09.840 on this show, it was like my mind was blown. 1:43:09.880 --> 1:43:11.639 It was years ago. Someone's like, Buck, you've been saying 1:43:12.360 --> 1:43:14.599 the state that Las Vegas is in the wrong way 1:43:14.800 --> 1:43:16.479 your whole life. You need to change, And I was like, 1:43:16.560 --> 1:43:19.400 no way. It turns out, yeah it's Nevada. It is 1:43:19.439 --> 1:43:22.599 not Nevada. A lot of New Yorkers say Nevada, though 1:43:22.640 --> 1:43:25.439 I will have you know, but it is Nevada. So 1:43:25.600 --> 1:43:28.559 I learned how to say it properly. See I learned. 1:43:28.560 --> 1:43:30.080 I learned things from doing the show all the time. 1:43:30.400 --> 1:43:34.040 I learned what a yuper is. For example, where are 1:43:34.080 --> 1:43:36.519 we on this one book? Oh yes, Robert Buck. I 1:43:36.600 --> 1:43:38.840 think the reason the left one after General Flynn could 1:43:38.880 --> 1:43:41.439 be very simple and shallow. He led the locker up 1:43:41.520 --> 1:43:43.759 chant at the convention, which started a movement. He became 1:43:43.800 --> 1:43:47.120 a target when he supported Trump and was prioritized when 1:43:47.120 --> 1:43:53.200 he led the chant and it went viral. Robert Obama 1:43:54.160 --> 1:43:57.720 was a very thin skinned individual, very not you know, 1:43:57.800 --> 1:44:01.240 not good at handling criticism. And I remember once there 1:44:01.400 --> 1:44:04.000 was something with some journalists. I think someone did a 1:44:04.040 --> 1:44:07.439 cartoon or something and they Obama didn't like the way 1:44:07.479 --> 1:44:10.160 that his ears were depicted. This was from journalists a 1:44:10.200 --> 1:44:12.560 long time, and he made you know, it made a 1:44:12.600 --> 1:44:14.760 big thing of this, like don't do that. And I 1:44:14.840 --> 1:44:18.879 mean it was a political cartoon, Like they exaggerate people's features, 1:44:18.920 --> 1:44:22.080 that's what they do. So Obama has always been somebody 1:44:22.120 --> 1:44:24.920 who's not able to take criticism and really hasn't had 1:44:24.960 --> 1:44:27.280 to take much criticism. Has really gone through his professional 1:44:27.360 --> 1:44:31.280 life and political life being told by everyone around him, 1:44:31.280 --> 1:44:33.800 at least on his side of the political spectrum as 1:44:33.840 --> 1:44:36.479 a Democrat, how wonderful he is and how brilliant and 1:44:36.520 --> 1:44:39.920 amazing he is, and that does not make for somebody 1:44:39.960 --> 1:44:43.800 that deals well with opposition voices and people saying, you know, 1:44:43.880 --> 1:44:45.720 you're not that great on this thing or that thing, 1:44:45.800 --> 1:44:48.679 whatever it may be. So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. 1:44:48.960 --> 1:44:51.759 But they just really didn't like Flynn. They really didn't 1:44:51.840 --> 1:44:54.040 like him. You know, That's a part of it. And 1:44:54.160 --> 1:44:55.960 you think about it, who else as a head of 1:44:56.040 --> 1:44:59.400 one of the three letter agencies wasn't really a deep 1:44:59.439 --> 1:45:01.800 state kind of guy at that phase, right, Flynn was 1:45:01.840 --> 1:45:05.839 the odd man out. You look at people from CIA, FBI, 1:45:06.120 --> 1:45:10.040 d O, j NSA, you know they're all doing the 1:45:10.160 --> 1:45:14.559 bidding of the of the establishment national security apparatus. Flynn 1:45:14.680 --> 1:45:16.200 was a little bit of a wild card for them. 1:45:16.320 --> 1:45:18.280 And then he went after Obama a little bit and 1:45:19.200 --> 1:45:21.840 then just just a little bit by the way, a 1:45:21.880 --> 1:45:26.559 little bit a little bit, chip Buck, huge fan been 1:45:26.600 --> 1:45:30.120 listening from the beginning, Wow Original Saturday Squad oh SS. 1:45:30.760 --> 1:45:32.960 Just catching up on Friday's episodes and have to say, 1:45:33.360 --> 1:45:36.479 out of all the Ben Stiller movies, the Heartbreak Kids 1:45:36.560 --> 1:45:38.400 has to be up there in the top three. Funny 1:45:38.400 --> 1:45:42.120 as hell, keep up the good work, Shields high. Not 1:45:42.280 --> 1:45:45.439 that you're like this special Jewish correspondent, but I mean, 1:45:45.439 --> 1:45:47.439 I'm kind of ask you a lot of questions to say, Mark, 1:45:47.960 --> 1:45:50.960 what is the Ben Stiller movie The Heartbreak Kids? I 1:45:51.040 --> 1:45:53.280 have not seen it, but I will report. Did you 1:45:53.320 --> 1:45:56.240 see that his father, Jerry Stiller passed away today? Oh? 1:45:56.560 --> 1:46:00.559 I did not see that. Man. That's I know. He's 1:46:00.600 --> 1:46:03.439 from the Seinfeld. He's from Seinfeld, He's from King of Queens. 1:46:03.520 --> 1:46:06.320 He was one of the best category characters in both 1:46:06.640 --> 1:46:08.840 of those shows. I'm sorry to hear that. How old 1:46:08.920 --> 1:46:11.840 with you? Ninety two? So he died peace four he went, 1:46:11.960 --> 1:46:14.040 He went the full distance, which is always Then you 1:46:14.080 --> 1:46:15.280 can have a you know, it's sad, but you can 1:46:15.360 --> 1:46:17.720 have a celebration of someone's life at ninety two. It's 1:46:17.760 --> 1:46:22.280 not like someone when they're you know, thirty. So I mean, 1:46:22.360 --> 1:46:24.120 not that that's particularly helpful, I'm sure to his family 1:46:24.240 --> 1:46:26.040 right now, but I just you know, God bless and 1:46:26.560 --> 1:46:28.040 a man who lived a good life and did a 1:46:28.080 --> 1:46:32.439 lot of good work. Mark. Hello, Buck, I heard a 1:46:32.479 --> 1:46:35.880 prediction that Adam Shift will submit articles of impeachment on A. G. Barr, 1:46:36.080 --> 1:46:40.240 What are your thoughts on this? I mean that's not 1:46:40.360 --> 1:46:44.120 going anywhere. There's there's no way that's gonna do much 1:46:44.200 --> 1:46:50.120 of anything.
