Speaker 2: Hey, welcome to the Buck Brief. On this episode, our
Speaker 2: friend Danielle Desuza Gil. She's the author of the book
Speaker 2: The Choice, Conservative Commentator and a new mom, which is
Speaker 2: very exciting. How old is the baby?
Speaker 1: Oh, thanks, Bob, because she is six months old. So
Speaker 1: she's had such a cute phase and it's really fun.
Speaker 2: That's very exciting. Yeah, six months amazing. I had my
Speaker 2: little eighteen month old nephew visiting recently and you know,
Speaker 2: running around my apartment with you know, his mom chasing
Speaker 2: after him, and he's just like he's like a little
Speaker 2: chunky bumper car. You know, he just sort of like
Speaker 2: rolls around, runs into things. He's fine though, but like
Speaker 2: because he can't get that much speed, right, Like, it's
Speaker 2: he's kind of moving slow, but he's small, so he
Speaker 2: sort of bumps, he goes whoa, then he bums into
Speaker 2: something else. Whoa. But it's a lot of fun. Congrats
Speaker 2: on that. That's the stuff that really matters. But let's
Speaker 2: talk about the country for a second. A few things
Speaker 2: here Where are you on the Majorcus impeachment. You know,
Speaker 2: they just impeach him in the House. You think this
Speaker 2: is going to matter or is it a good move politically?
Speaker 2: What do you see from it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it is a good move, Buck, because
Speaker 1: I think it'll force Senate Democrats to go on the
Speaker 1: record saying what they think of Majorcas. Do they stand
Speaker 1: with Biden and his horrible disaster border policies? Christen Cinema,
Speaker 1: other people will have to decide on this. So even
Speaker 1: if it doesn't result in, you know, the way that
Speaker 1: we want, I feel like in the end, the Democrats
Speaker 1: will have to defend Biden's actions or we'll have to
Speaker 1: go against Biden. And it's important that people know that
Speaker 1: it's not just Biden who is doing this to the country,
Speaker 1: it's Majorcus and really the whole party is pushing this
Speaker 1: open border disaster. So I think that in the end
Speaker 1: it's actually a good thing.
Speaker 2: And the border issue seems like it's going to be
Speaker 2: absolutely essential for if Republicans want to win. I mean,
Speaker 2: I go back to twenty sixteen, I think about Donald
Speaker 2: Trump and what was the main issue. Yes, there's Trump
Speaker 2: the persona and all that he represents, and talks about.
Speaker 2: But in terms of policy, the border was the thing
Speaker 2: more than anything else. I think quite clearly that elevated
Speaker 2: him to the front of the GOP pack and then
Speaker 2: allowed him to defeat Hillary Clinton. Is that the key
Speaker 2: this time around? And how do you think he should
Speaker 2: message it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I totally agree with you. I think
Speaker 1: the messaging on it is strong, of course, But I
Speaker 1: also think that when we look at it, it's not
Speaker 1: just about the messaging. The Democrats want our border to
Speaker 1: be porous and open because they want to import Democrat voters.
Speaker 1: We have millions of illegals coming into this country every year,
Speaker 1: and let's just say each person running for president gets
Speaker 1: around eighty million votes. That's going to make a huge
Speaker 1: difference if they're bringing in all of these millions of people.
Speaker 1: And I think when we look at this upcoming election
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, we see Joe who clearly has dementia,
Speaker 1: Clearly he is past his prime. And so if they're
Speaker 1: running a candidate that's that week, and we're running a
Speaker 1: president who's as vigilant and strong and successful as President Trump,
Speaker 1: then how do we not know that we have the
Speaker 1: election in the bag? I think it's because clearly the
Speaker 1: system is broken, and clearly it's because of things like
Speaker 1: an open border. So if we don't seal the border,
Speaker 1: what's going to happen to us in twenty twenty eight,
Speaker 1: What's going to happen to future elections? I think Republicans
Speaker 1: will be scratching their heads saying to themselves, how do
Speaker 1: we fix our messaging when in reality, the system needs
Speaker 1: to be fixed, and the border, I think is the
Speaker 1: key to that because we need to have only Americans
Speaker 1: voting in our elections.
Speaker 2: And it seems to me that there's finally an awakening
Speaker 2: of what these numbers really mean. Because you've got call
Speaker 2: it seven million, and even at best the official number
Speaker 2: is an estimate, right, call it seven million, but it'll
Speaker 2: be eight million by the time people are voting in
Speaker 2: the fall. And they see that number, that's a huge number, right,
Speaker 2: That alone has meeting. But beyond that, I think what's
Speaker 2: going on in New York and Chicago, where people see
Speaker 2: that these are individuals who are in the country illegally,
Speaker 2: who are going to be a drain on public resources,
Speaker 2: and that this is going to affect people's kids' schools,
Speaker 2: and it's going to affect emergency rooms and housing and
Speaker 2: the tax base.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and not to mention the fact that we're one
Speaker 1: of the only countries where you can just come across
Speaker 1: the border and have a child here and they're an
Speaker 1: American citizen. So I think that this policy is being abused,
Speaker 1: the fact that many of these people are not actually refugees.
Speaker 1: Many people are taking advantage of this because they know
Speaker 1: that they can come in under Biden and hopefully and
Speaker 1: hopefully stay here. And when we look at our schools,
Speaker 1: when we look at our hospitals and all of these
Speaker 1: things that are already burdened even just by the fact
Speaker 1: that we have a welfare state. Now we're going to
Speaker 1: have all of these illegal goals coming here, many of
Speaker 1: whom are criminals. But as you mentioned, even if you're
Speaker 1: not one of those people, you're still going to be
Speaker 1: taking from Americans. And many people who are coming in here,
Speaker 1: we don't know their intentions, you know. I mean, the
Speaker 1: Democrats always want to act like we're evil if we
Speaker 1: say that any of them are criminals. But there's not
Speaker 1: just drug trafficking, there's human trafficking, and we really need
Speaker 1: to seal the border immediately.
Speaker 2: Let's talk in a moment here about the Democrats side
Speaker 2: of things and your sense of where it's all going
Speaker 2: with Joe Biden, which is, I feel like an everyday
Speaker 2: news cycle on its own now. But first up. With
Speaker 2: the world favoring online investing, stock markets and cryptocurrencies, it
Speaker 2: almost seems archaic to some people to look at tangible
Speaker 2: assets real things. But you want to be ahead of
Speaker 2: the herd, not following it, because we barely even carry
Speaker 2: cash nowadays, So why would it be a good idea
Speaker 2: to invest in something physical?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Because look at history, look at what happens. Gold and
Speaker 2: other pressures have been a sound investment for banks, governments, businesses,
Speaker 2: and individuals for decades, for centuries even There are some
Speaker 2: very clear reasons why. Primary advantage of adding gold to
Speaker 2: your portfolio is its stability. Gold is also a nice
Speaker 2: hedge against inflation, meaning a good defense against your cash
Speaker 2: getting eaten up by inflation. One popular advantage of investing
Speaker 2: in gold is nobody knows you have it unless you
Speaker 2: tell them, and the unlikely event of a massive financial crisis,
Speaker 2: you can use your gold as currency. Go to Oxford

Speaker 2: where are you look? You probably know this if you
Speaker 2: follow me on Twitter or we follow each other on Twitter,
Speaker 2: so you know that. I'm I think it's gonna be
Speaker 2: Joe Biden, no matter what. Are you? Are you one
Speaker 2: of these people that's talking the nonsense about Michelle Obama
Speaker 2: taking over suddenly?
Speaker 1: No? No, I've actually always thought it's going to be
Speaker 1: Joe Biden because Joe Biden can only be removed if
Speaker 1: he wants to remove himself. I know Republicans talk about
Speaker 1: the fact that he has some kind of puppet master,
Speaker 1: and it's Obama or his wife or someone who's controlling
Speaker 1: him all the time. And certainly he has his handlers,
Speaker 1: he has his teleprompter, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: he really has to be forcibly removed, and I don't
Speaker 1: think the Democrats can make him step down. He really
Speaker 1: does want to be president, I think, even though he
Speaker 1: clearly shouldn't be, and so I think it's going to
Speaker 1: be Biden. But I think the fact that they're running
Speaker 1: Joe Biden shows that the Democrats have a system, and
Speaker 1: they used it with Fetterman, who was basically comatose when
Speaker 1: he was running for Senate, to get him across the
Speaker 1: finish line. So I think that the Democrats are worried
Speaker 1: about it. They don't like Joe Biden. I'm sure they
Speaker 1: prefer a more robust candidate, maybe Gavin Newsom, but they're
Speaker 1: going to find a way to make this election as
Speaker 1: close as possible, even though we're running such a great candidate,
Speaker 1: President Trump. So it's a huge problem for us.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm happy to see that. You also are living
Speaker 2: in a little place called reality. I don't know why
Speaker 2: all these people think. Imagine this, They're gonna run all
Speaker 2: the way. They're going to have an incumbent president. It'd
Speaker 2: be one thing if it was if Biden was running, right,
Speaker 2: if he was like running against a Republican. But at
Speaker 2: this point, you know, let's say they had declared him
Speaker 2: the nominee, but there was still time before the convention.
Speaker 2: Then I could see something like this, because all right,
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna change it up. They're talking about
Speaker 2: getting rid of the sitting president, the skipping over the
Speaker 2: vice president, and pulling over a third a third party,
Speaker 2: of third person of some cond Michelle Obama, Gavin knew
Speaker 2: from somebody else, which would mean that all the spending
Speaker 2: that they do all the time, you know, knocking on
Speaker 2: door saying vote Biden Harris until July is up in smoke, effectively,
Speaker 2: and you're gonna try to do that now. People say, oh,
Speaker 2: butocrats will vote for any Democrat. Yeah, but if they're
Speaker 2: going to win the election, they're going to beat Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: They're going to have to win swing voters. They're going
Speaker 2: to have to win up for grab voters, low propensity voters,
Speaker 2: and that requires infrastructure and time. So I mean, to me,
Speaker 2: this is I don't know what it is the right
Speaker 2: these days. If it's a conspiracy, people are all in
Speaker 2: on it, and if I try to tell them that
Speaker 2: this is not a good conspiracy, they think that I'm
Speaker 2: the one who's uh drinking the crazy juice.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Well, look, I feel like, if it's
Speaker 1: not Biden, let's say something happened to him. I think
Speaker 1: it's going to obviously be Harris because of course Harris
Speaker 1: is the VP, and the Democrats, they are obsessed with race, gender, politics,
Speaker 1: all of this, so they're not going to skip over
Speaker 1: the first black woman vice president because it kind of
Speaker 1: goes against their whole ideology. Obviously, as conservatives, we don't
Speaker 1: care about that kind of stuff, but on the left,
Speaker 1: that's like really taboo for them. So I think any
Speaker 1: discussion of some other third or fourth candidate is really
Speaker 1: really silly. Going to be Biden, And if for some reason,
Speaker 1: by physical reason, it can't be Biden, I think it
Speaker 1: would be Harris. And I don't really think the Democrats
Speaker 1: want Harris because Harris is actually even more unpopular than Biden.
Speaker 1: So I think they'd actually prefer to just keep it
Speaker 1: as Biden.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think so too. And what we
Speaker 2: just saw in Long Island and the third Congressional District,
Speaker 2: let's actually talk Well we talked about that for a second.
Speaker 2: Then I'll ask you a Valentine's you're wearing Valentine's red.
Speaker 2: It's Valentine's Day also Ash Wednesday for those who are
Speaker 2: of the Catholic faithful. But we should first get into
Speaker 2: congressional The third Congressional district in Long Island. This it
Speaker 2: was an eight point defeat. The Republicans have a pretty
Speaker 2: good infrastructure in Long Island. Long Island has been trending red.
Speaker 2: But they had a Democrat who did three things right
Speaker 2: they're putting aside. Okay, he's known, he's been there a
Speaker 2: long time, and he did have some pretty solid advantages.
Speaker 2: But this was obviously a Republican seat belonged to Antos.
Speaker 2: Republicans decided to get rid of Santos, which to me,
Speaker 2: you're going to have an election coming up anyway, Just
Speaker 2: let the people decide on a new candidate. But it's
Speaker 2: total own goal for Republicans, but they love doing that.
Speaker 2: But in this in this third congressional district, Danielle, three
Speaker 2: things happened. You had a guy who said he was
Speaker 2: strong a Democrat said he was strong on the border,
Speaker 2: hit Trump and you know, democracy threats, and talked about
Speaker 2: being you know, abortion and the need for abortion to
Speaker 2: be you know, all nine months of a pregnancy or whatever.
Speaker 2: Any won And I think I think that should be
Speaker 2: concerning for people who think we're going to win in
Speaker 2: the suburbs in Pennsylvania and Georgia and elsewhere.
Speaker 1: Interesting. I think that what happened was the Democrat running
Speaker 1: tried to associate Santos with the Republican opponent. I think
Speaker 1: obviously Santos made Republicans who want to run for that
Speaker 1: seat look horrible. I don't think Santos should have even
Speaker 1: been removed at this point. Because we have such a
Speaker 1: narrow majority, we really put ourselves into a tricky spot.
Speaker 1: So I personally think Democrats are immoral. They do horrible
Speaker 1: things all the time. So this idea that we're just
Speaker 1: going to flagellate our own because we have some higher principles,
Speaker 1: but we're just going to let democrats get away with
Speaker 1: crimes is ridiculous. And I think whoever does run for
Speaker 1: that seat next is actually going to be strong as
Speaker 1: a Republican. I think this was kind of the leftover
Speaker 1: of Santos's bad record running as a Republican. There.
Speaker 2: Well, I hope you. I hope you're right, because this
Speaker 2: was a seat that we should have won. Lost by
Speaker 2: eight not not a good indicator of what the GOP
Speaker 2: machinery is capable of right now. But let's come back
Speaker 2: and talk about something full, which is Valentine's data. Second,
Speaker 2: are you wondering how everyone's talking about Belize these days.
Speaker 2: Whoa boy? Belize is fantastic. It's fun. Imagine visiting a
Speaker 2: country that just a couple of hours from, say Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston,
Speaker 2: and you can enjoy a rainforest in white sand beaches
Speaker 2: in the same day. Belize is fun because you can
Speaker 2: float through caves, down a jungle river, climb an ancient
Speaker 2: Mayan ruin, swim with nurse sharks and rays, cast for
Speaker 2: a grand Slam the Ultimate, and fly fishing on the flats,
Speaker 2: snorkel or scuba dive the longest living reef in the world.
Speaker 2: Or simply relax, enjoy the beach bars, playing live music
Speaker 2: and dance under the stars before you know the sun
Speaker 2: comes up, and also have the best lobster dinner you've
Speaker 2: had in a very long time. Don't take my word
Speaker 2: for it, Go visit, go check it out. Belize is
Speaker 2: amazing for so many reasons. Download your free Belize handbook
Speaker 2: and God go to belizeesfun dot com. That's Belize is
Speaker 2: fun dot Com. All right, so you're a married lady,
Speaker 2: I'm a married man. Valentine's Day, I got to wipe
Speaker 2: some flowers. We're having a nice steak dinner to night
Speaker 2: at home, not go to restaurants, because restaurants rip you
Speaker 2: off on Valentine's But people get mad at me when
Speaker 2: I say that, what is your Valentine's plan? How should
Speaker 2: it happen for married ladies out there listening?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Well, our plan is we're actually campaigning.
Speaker 1: My husband's running for US Congress in Texas. He's been
Speaker 1: endorsed by President Trump and Senator Cruz and he will
Speaker 1: join the House Freedom Caucus if he wins a selection.
Speaker 1: So we are actually focusing on that and the campaign
Speaker 1: and voters here. But we're gonna be with Marrigold, our daughter,
Speaker 1: and probably just be at home.
Speaker 2: That's the way to do it. That's the I just
Speaker 2: keep telling her Valentine should be celebrated. I don't mean
Speaker 2: there's in any should be celebrated in the home. I
Speaker 2: think that's the best way to do it. You know, now,
Speaker 2: I get it if you're if you're if you're like
Speaker 2: in the dating scene, and you know you got to
Speaker 2: take somebody out and try to impress them. But to me,
Speaker 2: anytime there's pressure on a night, whether it's Valentine's, New
Speaker 2: Year's Eve or whatever, you're just making it less likely
Speaker 2: you're going to enjoy yourself. You're going to pay more,
Speaker 2: get less from the restaurant or the club or the
Speaker 2: whatever you're going to do, and for what, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like, you know, don't don't
Speaker 2: get caught up with all the all the peasant stuff,
Speaker 2: like go celebrate that stuff on another day and have
Speaker 2: a nice quiet night on New Year's or on Valentine's
Speaker 2: That's my take on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely not to mention the fact that I feel
Speaker 1: like when you're at home you can actually have more
Speaker 1: of a conversation and stuff and home cooked meals are
Speaker 1: really great. I think that's actually huge win on a
Speaker 1: date because going out to eat is easy. It's actually
Speaker 1: more fun to cook at home.
Speaker 2: What uh if you were? If you were, if you
Speaker 2: were going to tell yourself, it's kind of like advice
Speaker 2: for you know, new parents out there or soon to
Speaker 2: be new parents out there. You're six month and you're
Speaker 2: very excited. I can see in the background for if
Speaker 2: you're not, if you're listening on on audio right now
Speaker 2: on the podcast and you don't know, we have buck
Speaker 2: Brief the YouTube channel. We just really we just launched
Speaker 2: the YouTube channel, so it's brand new. Please go subscribe
Speaker 2: to the buck Brief that is the YouTube channel that
Speaker 2: you want. But you'll see a little baby Marrigold in
Speaker 2: the background who's absolutely adorable. But what is the one
Speaker 2: thing you've learned or advice you'd want to give people
Speaker 2: out there?
Speaker 1: I would say, don't be afraid to have kids. I
Speaker 1: think that there's a huge stigma around it. Especially, It's
Speaker 1: like the stigmas if you're a guy, you know, just
Speaker 1: only focus on your career and be a hipster. I
Speaker 1: don't know, like, go do all these other things and
Speaker 1: then you can figure those things out. I think the
Speaker 1: same thing is pushed on women to only focus on
Speaker 1: your career. But I feel like you can, actually you
Speaker 1: can have a family, you can still do interesting things
Speaker 1: and it actually brings you a lot of joy. And
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate a lot of young women especially don't realize
Speaker 1: that because they're sold a lot of lies, especially from
Speaker 1: the media, from shows like Sex and the City and
Speaker 1: all this, and I think, yet, you really can't have
Speaker 1: a lot of joy from that.
Speaker 2: All right, excellent stuff. Danielle de Susa gil my friend,
Speaker 2: Good to see you. Her book is The Choice by
Speaker 2: the way go pick up a copy of the Choice
Speaker 2: and Danielle thanks for being here.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much. Buck
