1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: This is bucks first thoughts, the news you need to

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart app or wherever you get

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: your podcasts. The peasants have grabbed the torches and the pitchforks,

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: and they are going after those hedge fun fat cats.

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: My oh my, this is quite a story, friends, even

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: if you've never traded a share of stock in your life,

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: even if you could care less about what the markets

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: are doing, because in our increasingly online, digitized, and electronically

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: controlled world, this is the first place we've seen a

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: populist uprising against the extreme control that we've all been

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: subjected to over the last year. It's existed before that,

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: of course, but given the COVID lockdowns, this new Biden era,

14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: the authoritarian impulse from social media companies, online providers of

15
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: all kinds of services, the Democrat Party, the news media,

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: and now as we see the Wall Street barons, that

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: has become too much for people to bear. So what's

18
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: really happening here? As I speak to you? You have

19
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: enormous moves in these stocks, billions and billions of dollars

20
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: changing hands, And what's so interesting to so many people.

21
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: Is that all of a sudden, It's as though we

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: were all sitting at a poker table, and on the

23
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: one side of the table you have these hedge funds

24
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: and they're already very rich. These people make a lot

25
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: of money, they do very well. But it's never enough money.

26
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: You see, once you make your first ten million, then

27
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: you got to make fifty. Once you make fifty, you

28
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: gotta make a hundred. But when you amass all that cash,

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: what do you do with it? Well, you have to

30
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: buy social credibility with it. So who do you donate to?

31
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: What do you give money to? Well, for one, democrats,

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: left wing causes, climate change, activist groups, right organizations that

33
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: they're about harmony and unity, but are really about the

34
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: suppression of free speech. You know, maybe you give some

35
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: money to the ACLU, you give some money to the

36
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: Southern Poverty Law Center. Whatever. That's when you become a

37
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: super rich fat cat, so you can drive around in

38
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: your maserati and go between your seven houses. You know,

39
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: it's never enough either for the wife, the ex wives,

40
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: the girlfriends, or the mistresses, and I mean all at

41
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: the same time. So what do they do? Well, as

42
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: you see, they try to get even bigger leverage going.

43
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: They go all in to kill American companies, or any

44
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: company for that matter, as long as there's a profit,

45
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: as long as they can find a way to manipulate

46
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: the market to their advantage. When they have as they

47
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: did here with game Stop, this video game company that

48
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: is like the Blockbuster video of video games, when they

49
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: decide that they're going to overshort it to the point

50
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: where there are more people who have borrow rod and

51
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: then sold this stock then there are actual shares in existence.

52
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: This is essentially market manipulation, and it means that this

53
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: company is toast. It means Game Stop is done. But

54
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: people realize there's another side to the trade, and these

55
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: Reddit bros and these Wall Street chat rooms, not of

56
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: actual Wall Street people, but of just everyday folks said,

57
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: you know what, we're going to stick it to these

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: hedge funds. And then you know what happened. All of

59
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: a sudden, As I said at that poker table, you

60
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: have the Wall Street fatcats on the one side, and

61
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: you have just people Robin Hood day traders. Although I

62
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: think they're gonna get off robin Hood now and we'll

63
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: get into that. Go to other platforms. You got these

64
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: day traders, and they're right on this one, and all

65
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's like the casino bosses come over

66
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: and is taking two aces out of the day traders

67
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: hands and putting it in the hands of the hedge funds.

68
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: Why because that's the order of things. That's how it's

69
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: supposed to be, don't you see. I think we're all

70
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: getting very tired of this. This is the most blatantly

71
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: rigged financial game in the last decade. This is the

72
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: worst financial rigging that we've seen since. Who got bailed

73
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: out and who didn't during the financial collapse? Who had

74
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: to pay a terrible price? You the American people, and

75
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: who didn't Wall Street people who had spent years fattening

76
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: themselves up with the reckless speculation on credit to false

77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: swaps and mortgage backed securities. But the government came in

78
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: and bailed them out. The system came in and bailed

79
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: them out under the pretense that they were bailing you out.

80
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: And now there are hedge funds. There are places like

81
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: Citadel which owns Robin Hood and Melvin Capital and many

82
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: many others who are losing billions and billions and billions

83
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: of dollars. But Remember, the money's not being lit on fire.

84
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: The money is being transferred from one set of hands

85
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: to another, and it's by the rules of the game.

86
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: But it's not okay according to the elites, according to

87
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: the people who make these decisions, this isn't supposed to happen.

88
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to be able to outthink multi billion

89
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: dollar hedge funds. You listen to this right now, people,

90
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: And by the way, please let me just as a

91
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: disclaimer here, be very careful if you're in this game

92
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: right now, because it is overheated and people are gonna

93
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: lose lots of money. So I don't There's there's the

94
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: political populist angle to this, and then there's the actual

95
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 1: financial realities of this for a lot of people. Please

96
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: be cautious. Don't. Don't get into a game that you

97
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: don't know the rules and you don't know what you're doing.

98
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: And the way I always tell people this, and this

99
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: has been told to me by folks with a whole

100
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: lot more money than me and more financial know how.

101
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: You never bet any money in the market. You know,

102
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: you never place a bet in the market that you

103
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't place a bet, you know, at a racetrack and

104
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: lose it and be Okay, no that's not a big deal. Okay,

105
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: I lost it. You know, you don't ever take risks

106
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: that you can't afford to take, very straightforward rule. Don't

107
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: do it, please, you know. I mean, this really is

108
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: very much right now. These markets are This is straight

109
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: up gambling that is going on. It's not based on earnings.

110
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: It's not based on getting new patents or getting FDA approved.

111
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean some of it, of course, but I'm talking

112
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: about game Stop at AMC and these things. But this

113
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: is a revolt against the system and the financial elites

114
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: that's happening from within this system, and that really terrifies

115
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: the people in charge because the system is supposed to

116
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: produce certain outcomes. They don't tell you that, but that's

117
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: the truth. Because the people that are enforcing it, the

118
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: sec the other you know, the government regulators, the federal

119
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: law enforcement agencies, you name it. The actual platforms like

120
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: robin hood that are owned by private companies. Facebook is

121
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: shutting down speech about stock trading under on what basis.

122
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: Robin Hood shut it down, saying that it was because

123
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: of like their ban on hate speech or something. I

124
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: guess if you're a hedge funder and you're losing billions

125
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: of dollars and you're not going to be able to

126
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: buy you know, Muffy and Buffy a new yellow Range

127
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: Rover for their sixteenth birthdays. Yeah, it's really sad for you.

128
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: But this is the game, folks, This is how it goes.

129
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 1: Like I said, never bet something you can't afford to lose,

130
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: you don't do it, and that's true of hedge funds

131
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: as well. The system is trying to set an example

132
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: here though, by stepping in and saying it doesn't matter

133
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: how brazen it is, you don't get to win. You

134
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: stay home, mask up, shut down your business, and you

135
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: don't get your government check, not on time. And the

136
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: government owes you that money because they shut down your business.

137
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: The government owes you that PPP because they're the reason,

138
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: stupidly that the economy was the worst it was since

139
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: nineteen forty six. According to the latest figures. Okay, we

140
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: have the worst economy in you know, going on a

141
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: hundred years last year of terms of GDP, in terms

142
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: of GDP growth. Okay, this is it was an awful

143
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: year and they made it so much worse. You stay home,

144
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: You shut up, you do what you're told or else. Wait,

145
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: but why, where's the basis for this? And how are

146
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: we supposed to obey rules and systems when they'll change

147
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: them the moment. It doesn't favor the people in charge.

148
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: When we talk about a populist uprising, what we're saying

149
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: is that people who do not yet have power see

150
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: what the people in power are willing to do to

151
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: keep it. And right now it is the democrats in power.

152
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: But this is not entirely a democrat phenomenon, although it

153
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: is largely a democrat status authoritarian phenomenon. But the people

154
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: with so much want to prevent others from also getting there.

155
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: And this is why you have, for example, the former

156
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: head of the SEC. The SEC the Securities in Exchange

157
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: Commission is the regulatory body, and they can send people

158
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: to prison, they can bring charges. Right the SEC is

159
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: a serious organization, has federal law enforcement authority. The former

160
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: head of the SEC started to compare people who are

161
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: placing trades on an app and that are winning and

162
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: making money and it is entirely legal, by the way,

163
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: what they're doing. There's no real allegation of illegality out

164
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: there about any of this at least not yet. She

165
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: compares it to the Capital Hill riot play twenty. It

166
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: really puts a lot of question about the integrity of

167
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: the market, right, and really kind of everybody's scratching their

168
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: heads over this. What should happen, What is the right

169
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: thing to do to control this or stop this? Not

170
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: unlike what we saw in January sixth that the Capitol, right,

171
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: if you don't have the police in there at the

172
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: right time, things go a little crazy. And that kind

173
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: of feels like what's happening with this a much different,

174
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: much lesser degree. It's financial harm, not personal bodily harm.

175
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: But certainly that's the same kind of you know, platform

176
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: created frenzy that people are operating under. And these are

177
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: these are very trying times, it's very important. A whole

178
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: lot of difference is it's it's an insane comparison. But

179
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: if we're going to play this out a little bit,

180
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: they're upset. The elites are upset because the people that

181
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: are doing this to the hedge funds, they're winning. The

182
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: hedge funds are losing the money in this case, and

183
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: you're supposed to lose the money. The way the stock

184
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: market has been set up in recent years, as there's

185
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: greater democratization of information but also access and trading ability,

186
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: is that people realize, Hold on a second, these hedge funds,

187
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: they they mass all this capital, they don't hedge hedge

188
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: means that they're essentially balancing out their bet so that

189
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: their downside is not that big. So it's supposed to

190
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: be a risk management strategy, but hedge funds are They're

191
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: a misnomer. That's not what they do. They go all in.

192
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: They will cut a company, they will burn it their ground.

193
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: I have friends, I know people who work at the

194
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: biggest hedge funds in the world, and this is what

195
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: ends up happening. Yeah, sometimes they provide necessary capital and

196
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: lubrication for the market and whatever, but a lot of

197
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: the time they're just going in for the kill. But

198
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: the other side's not allowed to win, don't you see.

199
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: That's what's the problem here. Everyone's acting like there's some

200
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: big problem. What do we do about the markets? The

201
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: former head of the SEC this is like the stock

202
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: market equivalent of the former head of the FBI saying,

203
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: this is like the Capitol Hill riot. What the winkle

204
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: Vault twins? You know about the the winkle vy you

205
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: know about them, probably because of their connection to Mark

206
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg and Facebook. They were in the social network the

207
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: played by one actor, the large on here guy who

208
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: wrote Crew I wrote Crew in college do but they

209
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: also are big bitcoin and decentralized finance guys. Here's what

210
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: they said on TV and notice CNBC the financial journal.

211
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: Financial journals are every bit as guilty of sucking up

212
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: to power and being little frauds as political journals are.

213
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: That's one thing you're seeing here. Here's what they said

214
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: Dwinklevoss on TV play twenty two. I think this is

215
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: a much larger movement. I think it's a systemic issue,

216
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: and I think that people need to fix it or

217
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: it's going to get much much worse. I think this

218
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: is a much larger issue in the thread of our

219
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: country and its fragility and what's happening in the inequality,

220
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: and frankly, the hypocrisy of the political leaders who say

221
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: you can't open your business and run your business and

222
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: make a living during the pandemic. We won't pass a

223
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: similar bill in time, and oh, by the way, and

224
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: now you can't trade. You know, what's the next thing

225
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: they're going to control and say you can't do and

226
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: what it really does. Wait a minute, Wait a minute,

227
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: who who is saying all of those things? That sounds

228
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: like some attempt at whipping up something populous that that's

229
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: not based in fact. Is there is there one person

230
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: who is saying all of those things, No, jackass, There

231
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: are a lot of people who are taking action based

232
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: upon those things. Robin Hood. The app only allowed selling

233
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: of a stock yesterday based on what well they wanted

234
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: to be. They wanted to help drive the price down

235
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: on GameStop so that the short sellers would stop getting squeezed.

236
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: It was bailing out their buddies full on. Now this

237
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: is again it's a privately owned app, but you are

238
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: led to believe that this is this is a platform

239
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: for buying things. Right. I imagine if you went on

240
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: Amazon and you bought yourself, you know, a tennis racket

241
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: and they said, oh, sorry, we're going to send you

242
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: some skis instead, say well, hold hold on a second,

243
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: that's not right, that's not what I well, you know,

244
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: Amazon's a private company. You see, now that the left

245
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: has seized the heights of our institutions and corporations. Now

246
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: that they have control, they want absolute control. All the

247
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: old arguments about hold on, there's a greater societal good here,

248
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: hold on, there's there's a culture or freedom and openness

249
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: and free speech. That's all. That's all discarded by them.

250
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: They could care less. This is all about naked power

251
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: and a grab for even more money for people who

252
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: have plenty of it. And it's playing out in full

253
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: view of the whole country. Where's the Biden administration on this?

254
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: Where's Joe Biden? I will say, there are some radicals

255
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: on the left who just hate rich people, so they

256
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: are of course jumping in on this one. But some

257
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: of what they say on this is true. Some of

258
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: what they say on this is reality. And even Ted

259
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: Cruz agreed with AOC yesterday. She was vicious in response

260
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: to him trying to reach a point of agreement on something.

261
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: But even Ted Cruz is saying that this is amazing

262
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: and wrong. What's going on here. You're supposed to stay home,

263
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: because Fauci says so, have your business shut down, Your

264
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: bank accounts supposed to go to zero because you don't

265
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: have the assets to sit there and just keep getting dividends,

266
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: and the stock price rising and rising. The government's policy

267
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: is inflating the assets of those who have assets. You're

268
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: not even allowed to try to get ahead. You who

269
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: work for a trucking company, who own a small business,

270
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: who show up to a company that's been struggling, and

271
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: you've had to shut your doors for a while, you

272
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: work at a restaurant, you work in a bar. You

273
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: the American people are being told, shut up, stay home.

274
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: We'll get you a tiny check at some point when

275
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: we feel like it. While all of our buddies are

276
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: getting uber eats delivered to them, sitting in their giant

277
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: houses and apartments all across the urban centers of America

278
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: and getting richer and richer and richer on this market,

279
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: and you're not supposed to be having a piece of that,

280
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: a little bit a taste, just to shut you up.

281
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: You get to make six percent on your money if

282
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: you're a good boy or girl, Give you a little

283
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: pat on the head. These hedge fund people, they want

284
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: to make six hundred percent on their money in a month,

285
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: in a day. That's what they get to have. You

286
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: get your six percent. And if you try to stop

287
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: the hedge funds, they're gonna come for that little six

288
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: percent from youtub Maybe they'll even throw you in jail.

292
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: The reason the market is doing what he's doing is

293
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: people are singing at home getting the checks in the

294
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: government okay. And this fish share is a big concept

295
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: against just a way of attacking wealthy people. And you know,

296
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: I think it's inappropriate. We all got to work together

297
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: and pull together. We all got to work together and

298
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: pulled together. That's Leon Cooperman. For those who may not

299
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: know that. If you're work on or near or know

300
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people on Wall Street, you know that

301
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: guy is you know what, he's worth three billion or so.

302
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: This guy's a multi billionaire. Fair share is bleep. You

303
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: heard what he said, We got to come together. He's

304
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: basically telling you it's might I get to sit at

305
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: home in front of computer screens making millions and millions

306
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars of which I get to keep

307
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: at least. If you're running a hedge fund, they call

308
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: it two and twenty two percent management feed, twenty percent

309
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: of the upside. You get so you make one hundred

310
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: million dollars on a billion dollar fund, and guess what,

311
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: You've had a pretty good year. Some people make a

312
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: whole lot more than that. But he gets to do that.

313
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: He gets to just watch as everything as the government

314
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: policy inflates these asset prices, but more and more spending,

315
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 1: more and more stimulus, and he gets richer and richer

316
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: and richer. You're not allowed to try to flip the table.

317
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: You stay home, get your government check, and you know,

318
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: get some takeout food once a week, and shut your mouth.

319
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: That's what Cooperman and the rest of the elites and

320
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: the establishment want you to know. The Robin Hood bros Say,

321
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: not so fast. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for

322
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest

323
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: from Buck at buck sexton dot com. Open the damn

324
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: schools everywhere, every city, every state, all across America. The

325
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: data is in, It has been in for months. It

326
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: is clear, it is unambiguous. Open the schools. Any public

327
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: school that is still shut down is shut down because

328
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: of the crappy decisions of selfish or cowardly adults. That's it.

329
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: There is no good faith, science based argument to keep

330
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: these schools closed. All this nonsense that you're hearing from

331
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: people about how they need new ventilation systems and they

332
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: need new ppe and we have to test kids three

333
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: times a day every day. We're gonna keep testing and

334
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: test and testing. This is anxiety driven lunacy, and children

335
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: are suffering. Children are depressed. Children's brain chemistry is being

336
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: affected by this. Children are committing suicide over this. Enough

337
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: is enough, and the lazy asses in the teachers unions

338
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: need a real kick in the butt. This is crazy

339
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: what they're doing to kids across the country. This is wrong,

340
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: what they're doing to families, adults and parents who can

341
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: actually do their normal jobs who have to handle now

342
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: working perhaps working remotelyal theom. Maybe they're essential workers too,

343
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: but you know, actual essential workers who have to show up.

344
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: And this is so devastating. The fact that we're even

345
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: having this conversation shows how crazy it's gotten. There's this

346
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: father in Virginia. I know this has gone viral, and

347
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: I almost want to play this. Every day he goes

348
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: up to a school board meeting and sometimes, you know,

349
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: in every day person, just just somebody, just one of

350
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: our fellow Americans, stands up at a podium somewhere and

351
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: you feel it right away. Speaks for all of us

352
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: who are saying speaks for those of us who see

353
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: things for what they are. And let's sit rip and

354
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: here's this father of a school school aged child in

355
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: Virginia who's talking at this school board meeting. And just

356
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: this sense of gratification and the sense of a moment

357
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: of peace that you get after listening to this, because

358
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: finally someone is saying it. I wanted you to have that.

359
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: Here you go play eighteen. You should all be fired

360
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: from your day jobs because if your employers knew that

361
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: you were more inefficient than the DMV, you would be

362
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: replacing the heartbeat. I literally just finished a conference call

363
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: because I'm having a multitask to be here to address you. Guys.

364
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: You're a bunch of cowards hiding behind our children as

365
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: an excuse for keeping schools closed. You think you are

366
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: some sort of martyrs because of the decisions you're making

367
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: when the statistics do not lie that the vast majority

368
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: of the population is not at risk from this virus.

369
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: The garbage workers who pick up my freaking trash risk

370
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: their lives every day more than anyone in this school system.

371
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: Figure it out, or get off the podium, because you

372
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: know what, they're people like me and a line of

373
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: other people out there who will gladly take your seat

374
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: and figure it out. It's not a high bar. Raise

375
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: the freaking bar. Open the schools. He's yelling, open all

376
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: the schools. Why why is it that, as I've been

377
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: saying to you, you have people who are working in

378
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: drug stores and grocery stores, and mail carriers and truckers

379
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: and and just all kinds of folks, people working and

380
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: for you to y companies and the cable guys and gals,

381
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you name it. People are still doing their jobs.

382
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: I go into a TV studio every day. Now I don't.

383
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm essential, but I just people are

384
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: still doing their jobs. Teachers can't do their jobs. Oh

385
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: it's so scary. It's not so scary. Stop being whimps.

386
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: If you are of an age which how many teachers

387
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: in the public school system are over sixty? There are some,

388
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: there are very few. If you are of an age

389
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: where you are at risk, okay, fine the datas The

390
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: data suggests that even though children are very unlikely to

391
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: spread it to you, which people keep leaving out of this,

392
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: they go, oh, it's not about the kids as much.

393
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: It's about the teachers of the people around them children.

394
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: And this gives you this is always a mind or two.

395
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: They don't even really understand why. It's probably because a

396
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: child's immune system is sensitive enough, strong enough, and resilient

397
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: enough that it deals with the virus very quickly, and

398
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: therefore there's not the same time for I am, the

399
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: same incubation period where it would be transmissible to other people.

400
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: That's a theory I'm just saying. But that's that's one

401
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: theory that I've read, because children don't seem to give

402
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: this easily at all to adults. It's not like if

403
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: you're with you know, if you're with your sick roommate

404
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: and you and you're coughing all over the place and

405
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: you got COVID, very good chance indoors, long duration, there's

406
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: going to be a transmission. With children, it just doesn't

407
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: seem to happen at nearly the same the same rate.

408
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: But if you're of the age, fine, if you're of

409
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: the age where you are at risk. There are twenty

410
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: five year olds waiting in line here in New York

411
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: to get vaccines. My seventy four year old father still

412
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 1: hasn't been am He's trying every day, still hasn't been

413
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: able to get a vaccine in New York City. Still

414
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: can't do it. And I've got I've got siblings who

415
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: are very we're all very plugged in, we're all very

416
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: Internet savvy, and we're looking all over and trying to

417
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: find you know, because it keeps saying check back, check back,

418
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: come back. I mean, this is what the website's telling

419
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 1: you all the time. So we're all trying to make

420
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: this happen. We're doing everything that we can, and yet

421
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: here we are, here, we are still can't get that.

422
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: But twenty five year olds are getting the vaccine because

423
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: they work for the teachers Union. You see, this is

424
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: a disgrace, and it's a disgrace that the Biden administration

425
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: isn't calling this out right away, isn't backing up parents

426
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: across America. This needs to end. We've run the experiment

427
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: and the lockdowners have been wrong. They have been wrong.

428
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: You need to understand that. They'll never admit it because,

429
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: oh my god, what a horrible thing to get wrong.

430
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: Right If you want to know what the alternative was,

431
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean Florida. I worry that Florida is going to,

432
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, sink into the ocean if this keeps going.

433
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: And I'm kidding, I know, I'm not making the I'm

434
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: making a reference to that guy who though Guama's going

435
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: to tip over right. I mean, Florida is just everybody

436
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: I know. I'm going down. They're spending more time there.

437
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: You know. I love our WFLA WIOD stations down there,

438
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: and it already feels like home to me. Florida is

439
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: putting on a clinic of governance to show the rest

440
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: of the country what sanity looks like. It's not perfect.

441
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: They're still COVID. There's still people that are going to

442
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: die at COVID's there's no question about that. But that's

443
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: true everywhere. But in Florida there's some sanity, there's some

444
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: semblance of normalcy and intelligent approach to this. In New York,

445
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: they're out of their minds, out of their minds, California crazy.

446
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: The people in charge are imbeciles, and they've been wrong

447
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: at every step of this. Here's we're talking about the economy,

448
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: talking about COVID. Here's Governor Ron DeSantis play four. I

449
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: think we've done a couple of things. One, we focus

450
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: protection on elderly people rather than trying to shut the

451
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: entire society down. So at the front end of the pandemic,

452
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: I barred hospitals from discharging COVID patients back into nursing homes.

453
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: That was able to save a lot of lives on

454
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: the front end and now here on hopefully the back

455
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: into the pandemic. Our approach to vaccination is putting seniors first.

456
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: We're focusing on our sixty five and up population. We've

457
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: reported over one point one million seniors that have gotten

458
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: a shot in the state of Florida. It's almost twenty

459
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: five percent of our enormous four point five million senior population,

460
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: and so we think that that's really important. That's where

461
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: the most risk is. We also, though understood, we have

462
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: to have schools open, so every parent in Florida has

463
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: a right to send their kid to in person instruction, private, charter, public,

464
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: you name it. And we also say everybody has a

465
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: right to work, so government, local government can't shut you down.

466
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: They can't prevent you from earning a living, they can't

467
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: prevent businesses from operating. And the result has been. For example,

468
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: in the month of December, our revenue to the state

469
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: of Florida, and we have very low tax rates, was

470
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: up three hundred and thirty million dollars over the estimated revenue.

471
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: Anybody want to still make the arguments that Homo and

472
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: now Show and Widmer or the heroes of the pandemic,

473
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: only a moron could make that case. Today DeSantis has

474
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: taken all the slings and arrows, He's taken all the heat.

475
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: I think Rhondes Santist should run for president. I'm just

476
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: gonna say it right now. Showing results, you know, and

477
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: if you if you want Trump to run again, well

478
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: then Desantists, you know, should be his VP, or maybe

479
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, Trump could be DeSantis his VPL. They don't

480
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 1: think you'd ever take the number two slot of anything.

481
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: But he is showing results at a time when there's

482
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: been so much pressure. Even the governor of Texas, even

483
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: the governor of Texas bending the knee a little too

484
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: much on this stuff, has not been willing to hold

485
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: the line. Even the governor of Texas very disappointing you

486
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: in Colorado. I love my team Buck Coloradins, but here Governor,

487
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: my god, right this is Look at all the shutdowns

488
00:27:54,960 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: in Denver. Here we are up three hundred and thirty

489
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: million dollars in revenue. In Florida, they're making money. You

490
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: know why, because people are allowed to live their lives.

491
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: Imagine if the Florida effect was allowed to grow and

492
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: exist around the rest of the country. Imagine if the

493
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: effect of this was that people would people would look

494
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: at this as an experiment. They'd say, Wow, Florida's actually

495
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: done the right thing. We should emulate them. No, Instead,

496
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 1: the quizzlings of the corporate media, CNN, the New York

497
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: Times have just been just trashing de Santists. Oh, people

498
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: are dying because I can't tell you how many people

499
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: come at me on social media, all these idiot libs

500
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: bit to Santists. Look at this number, look at that number,

501
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: or like, you know, per capita, California is a little

502
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: bit better and I'm a little bit better in terms

503
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: of mortality on a per capita basis. They've they've ruined people,

504
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: They've ruined millions of people's lives and businesses, and you

505
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: think they might be a tiny bit better. Florida's open

506
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: for business. How could you even compare these things? New

507
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: York is finally realizing we're not going to have a

508
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: state left unless we stop this nonsense, so they're beginning

509
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: to edge towards sanity. I've been right. You've been right,

510
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: those of you who listen to me. If you really

511
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: thought I was wrong about this, you wouldn't be able

512
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: to listen to this show for the last year right

513
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 1: after Why you'd say Buck Buck is lost it, Man,

514
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't get it. We've gotta we gotta trust Fouci,

515
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: we gotta trust doctor Fouch. You know, you know Buck's

516
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: a good guy, and I've listened him for years, but man,

517
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: he's he's way off on the mask mandates and on lockdowns.

518
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: These are really saving us. Man, if you believe that,

519
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't think you'd be able to at least have

520
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: to take a break from listening. So, every person who

521
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: listens to this, you've been voting for what I've been

522
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: saying by giving me your time, by lending me your ears.

523
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: And we have been right. They have been wrong. Take

524
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: a moment, Let that let that all seep in, Let

525
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: that all just wash over you for a second. All

526
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: those smug blue check mds, and excuse me, I have

527
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: an MDPHD, M A B A B S in everything

528
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: about all the disease stuff and like you got to

529
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: wear seven masks. No, those people were wrong too. By

530
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: the way, here's one of Biden's top coronavirus advisors, this

531
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: Austerholme guy who here's his take on Fauci and double

532
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: masking play eight. Well, first of all, let me just

533
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: say that we should have had efforts a long time

534
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: ago to provide really the highly efficient and effective kinds

535
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: of respiratory protection, namely these N ninety five mask or respirators,

536
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: and it's unfortunate that we still need to reserve these

537
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: for our healthcare workers. And that's a huge challenge in

538
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: terms of using the face cloth coverings doubling them. Actually,

539
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: we need to be very careful about that. That may

540
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: actually be counterproductive, not helpful. We know, and I'm not

541
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: an aerobiologist, but we know that in fact they may

542
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: actually impede the movement of error in and out, causing

543
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: it to actually escape in the big crevices between the

544
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: cloth and your face. That's a bigger problem, not a

545
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: lesser problem than one. Oh man to two big things here.

546
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: One of them is you've heard me say it they're

547
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: gonna tell you and ninety five masks, the cloth masks

548
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: that we have been cling We've been told to cling

549
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: to them for our salvation. Your freedom depends upon the

550
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: cloth mask and it does. Did that work? I don't

551
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: think I can a band yet for asking questions. Did

552
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: it work as a policy? Did it work not? Theoretically

553
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: in a clinical environment of a test? Could it possibly

554
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: help in some cases? In some instance, I'm saying as

555
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: a policy of everybody has to do this thing to

556
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: deal with this pandemic? Has it worked? I'm even going

557
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: to answer, because you know the answer. If it worked,

558
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: why are they telling us double mask And now you

559
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: have a guy who's also supposed to be so esteemed

560
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: with all of his credentials, saying double masking might actually

561
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: be counterproductive. But wait a second, doctor Fouch, he told

562
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: us that double masking was, of course more more effective.

563
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: You mean there are still questions about this. I thought

564
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: the science was settled. It was settled on this. You

565
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: realize that there's no one out there who would be

566
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: able to debate someone like me on this and not

567
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: be made to look like a total jackass, which is

568
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: why they're so nasty about all this all the time.

569
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: That's why they just yell at you. That's why they

570
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: ban you, that's why they kick you off the social

571
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: media platforms. They threaten you, they threaten you personally. How

572
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: dare you cross? Saint Fouch? Because you see, it's all

573
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: a narrative of control and a narrative of self righteousness.

574
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: That's really what this has been about. I've been telling

575
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: you four months and you know it. They're gonna say

576
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: double mask. They're gonna say, it's really about the N

577
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: ninety five mask. Now, the N ninety five masks scientifically

578
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: is clearly more effective than a cloth mask. And we've

579
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: known that all along. But then why have not they

580
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: why have they not been encouraging people to wear those

581
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: N ninety five masks. Now they're gonna go with, oh,

582
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: there'd be a shortage. Really, was there a shortage of

583
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: masks ever during this pandemic? No? Were the hospitals overrun

584
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: and unable to give care in this country ever during

585
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: this pandemic? No, But they keep saying it. They hope

586
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: that you don't pay attention. They hope that you don't

587
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: listen to shows like this where I don't care how

588
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: much they yell at me. I don't care how how

589
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: vicious and vitriolic they get. I've been right, you've been right,

590
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: They've been wrong. This is the Buck Sexton Show Podcast.

591
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: Follow Fuck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. He's already committed

592
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: the US to re enter the Paris Climate Agreement, and

593
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: he committed us as well to start on doing the

594
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: assault on our environment that has occurred over the past

595
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: four years. And he is now taking additional action to

596
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: really target the challenge of climate change. We're still in

597
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 1: a pandemic, still undergoing lockdowns in many places across the country,

598
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: and we're supposed to believe that now is the time

599
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: to focus on the existential threat of climate change. This

600
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: is all you need to know to understand the degree

601
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: of lunacy from the Binding administration that is on display

602
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:38,479
Speaker 1: right now. They need to fix what matters, not fix

603
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: on some not fixate on some absurdity, which is what

604
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: this existential threat of climate change stuff is. You know it,

605
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: and I know it. This is who we're dealing with now,

606
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,959
Speaker 1: exactly as we expected. You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks

00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: You gotta listen to people making the rules. No joke.

612
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: But just remember that people like Janet Yellen are out

613
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: there making important decisions right now about your future. And

614
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: and you know, she's the former chair of the Federal

615
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: Reserve and she has a lot of influence in this

616
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: Biden administration. She's now the Secretary of the Treasury, which

617
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: really matters a whole lot. And you are not supposed

618
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: to pay any attention to the fact that, well, here

619
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: you go, here's here's White House Press secretary. Sucky to

620
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: me play fourteen. You didn't mention. I believe yesterday that

621
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: the Treasury Secretary is monitoring the situation and she's kind

622
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: of on top of it. There have been some kind

623
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: of concerns about her previous engagement in s with Citadel

624
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: and speaking fees that she has received from Citadel. Are

625
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: there any plans to have her recuse herself from advising

626
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: the president on gay stop and the whole robin Hood situation. Well,

627
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: just to be clear, what I said was that we

628
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: have the Treasury Secretary is now confirmed. Obviously, we have

629
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: a broad economic team. The sec put out a statement

630
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: yesterday that I referred to, but I don't think I

631
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: have anything more for you on it other than to say,

632
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: separate from the GameStop issue. The Secretary of Treasury is

633
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: one of the world renowned experts on markets, on the economy,

634
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 1: which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. She was paid

635
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: to give her perspective and advice before she came into office.

636
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: So the Treasury Secretary, I want to be very clear,

637
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: the Treasury Secretary gets paid eight hundred thousand dollars for speeches. Okay,

638
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: that's a good, good gig if you can get it

639
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: from the company owns Robin Hood, the trading platform that

640
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: has decided to bail out the hedge funders by screwing

641
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: over the individual main street investors. And we should think

642
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: that she's completely impartial in this whole process. We are

643
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: to believe that she can be entirely trusted. You know,

644
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: it's even more than the money. This revolving door between

645
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: big financial institution and the Treasury, and big financial institution

646
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: and the Treasury is a problem. This is a conflict

647
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: of interest. If this were happening in other realms, you

648
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: would think, oh my gosh, you can't. This person can't

649
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: be involved in government decision making. It's going to affect

650
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: not just their future earning prospects at these different institutions,

651
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: but also that are going to negatively affect their buddies.

652
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: You know, social connection matters a whole heck of a

653
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: lot of the financial world. You don't think that the

654
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: head of the CEO of Citadel can get Janet yelling

655
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: on the phone. Hey, just just keep it quiet on

656
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: the whole robin Hood shutdown thing. You know we're gonna

657
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna need your support on this one. Got some

658
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: very good speeches lined up for you after you know,

659
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: your two or three years his Treasury secretary. Maybe we'll

660
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: make it a million dollars a speech. Now you don't

661
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: think you don't think it has an influence? Oh no, sure, okay,

662
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: even more. Maybe he just calls referen says, hey, Janet,

663
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: we're buddies, we're friends. Don't don't use any of that

664
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: sway you have in the government conversation right now to

665
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: come down on us, because come on, we're pals. You

666
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: don't think those phone calls are happening. The American people

667
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: are seeing how this system really works. They're seeing this

668
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: swamp strikes back. That's what this is. This swamp is

669
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: back in charge. They're there, They're flooding Main Street. There

670
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: are gators going around looking to eat whatever they can.

671
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: That's what's going on. And the people that promise you

672
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: that they would protect you are the ones that are

673
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: actually the alligators, the Democrats. And then that brings me

674
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: to the absurdity of the focus right now on climate.

675
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: Do you know on all of the lists of policy

676
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: ideas and concerns, climate change is barely in the top

677
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: twenty most of the time. I mean, you know, it's

678
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: below the economy and healthcare and immigration, or national security

679
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: and trade and employment, and you got like climate change is,

680
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, way way down the list. And Democrats are

681
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: completely fixated on it right now. Why because this is

682
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 1: where they can they can have the most radical impact

683
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: in the shortest time. And they need to do it

684
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: before we figure out what's really going on. They need

685
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: to do it before people wake up and say hold on.

686
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: Biden is a trojan horse for the other side. He

687
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: He's not some moderate who's going to be you know,

688
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: helping us out and making sure that Main Street can

689
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: pay their bills. No, that was all a fraud. The

690
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: Biden campaign was a fraud. We should all keep that

691
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: in mind. We're not getting what was promised here, and

692
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean the American people are not getting what was

693
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: promised and they never will. The Democrats run candidates saying

694
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: one thing with the expectation from the base, from the

695
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: activists and from the elites that they're all gonna get

696
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: there is They're all going to get something else from

697
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: this candidate. This is the game they play, this is

698
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: how they run it. AOC who is I don't find

699
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: many politicians frightening, not only personally, but I mean their ideas.

700
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm not frightened by that many politicians ideas, but AOC

701
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: is actually she is both so influential and so ignorant,

702
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: and at the same time that it is it is unsettling.

703
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 1: It goes beyond the normal stuff we see like Nancy Pelosi. Yeah,

704
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: she's a yeah, she's she's cunning, she's ruthless, she's a

705
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: liar um and she's not in any way an intellectual

706
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: or bright, but she knows what she's got to do.

707
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: But she wants to keep a system as it is.

708
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, she doesn't want things to get

709
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: so rough that the servants can't get to her mansion

710
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: and you know, and bring her her shardonnay. So she

711
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: is she's she's uh, there are limitations on her crazy.

712
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: Beck is the nicest teak Buck has ever said about me. Yeah,

713
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: there are limitations on her crazy. There are no limitations

714
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: on AOC's crazy. She would be willing to plunge the

715
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 1: country into a massive economic depression if she believed that

716
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: it served the interests of social justice. That's really disconcerting.

717
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: That's really challenging. Um, because she's also listened to by

718
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: so many people I see sometimes they'll do these live

719
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: streams and a clip will appear in my feed because

720
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: AOC will say something so crazy, and I'll see all

721
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 1: these young people who are just you know, yeah, you're

722
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 1: our champion, and you're our future and everything, and I just, oh,

723
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: my gosh. You know, I try not to be the

724
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: guy who says, look, there are dumb Republicans, there are

725
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: dumb Democrats. You know. There are smart people that I

726
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: really disagree with and think are bad on policy, but

727
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: I recognize that they're smart. And AOC, I don't. I

728
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: don't like to run around and just call people stupid.

729
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: But she's she is very dumb, and she is also

730
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: very powerful, and that's a that's a dangerous combination for

731
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: somebody who is in government and has so much sway

732
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: over the conversation, and she likes what Biden is doing.

733
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: So let me all say Biden is dumb. Oh maybe

734
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: as dumb as AOC. I mean, Biden's are pretty ignorant, dumbass,

735
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: but Biden is supposed to be more of a moderate.

736
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: And yet AOC likes what she's seeing from this Biden

737
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: administration so far. That should be a red flag, friends,

738
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: Plates welve. Now, I'm feeling extraordinarily encouraged, and I think

739
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: that the significance of President Biden's executive orders communicates a lot.

740
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: One is that it really communicates that he meant what

741
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: he said on the campaign trail, that he would make

742
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: climate change a central priority of his administration, and that

743
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: he considers it not just a national security threat, but frankly,

744
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, the global matter that it is. But it

745
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: also really significant. It also really signifies a good faith

746
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 1: openness and relationship to those activist communities that you had

747
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: mentioned these grassroots communities and organizations on the ground, workers, etc.

748
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: Scientists saying we are not going to be assistant to

749
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: grassroots movements, but we are going to collaborate and work

750
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: with grassroots movements all across the United States to make

751
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: sure that we are creating as many jobs and as

752
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 1: much justice as possible as we fight to save our planet.

753
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: Justice is the single most abused and misused word by

754
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 1: the left. Don't ever forget it. But the fact that

755
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 1: she is pleased so far with what the Biden administration

756
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: is doing should let you know exactly where all of

757
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: this is heading. The fact that she's so happy with

758
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: what she's seeing is a reminder that, as I've been

759
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: telling you, the presidency that we've seen so far with

760
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is not all that different from what you

761
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 1: would see at this stage from a president Bernie Sanders. Okay,

762
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: there are maybe a few things, but on the major

763
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 1: issues on climate, actually, Bernie Sanders might be a little

764
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: bit better than Biden. And I mean by better, I

765
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: mean less insane on trade and immigration. Believe it or not,

766
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: remember there was some crossover between Trump and Bernie on

767
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: trade and immigration issues back in the day so on

768
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: that Biden is takes more of the elitist left position,

769
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: Bernie has more of the populist worker position on immigration

770
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: and trade. So when you have AOC praising Biden's environmental policies,

771
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: this is the woman behind. We need to get rid

772
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: of cow farts and rebuild all the buildings, and I

773
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: mean all of them in America so that they're green friendly.

774
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: Remember the Green New Deal was put out. Her office

775
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: put that out. This is the woman behind it, and

776
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: she's pleased with what she's seeing so far. That should

777
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: make you very very uneasy. It certainly does for me.

778
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: We're going to be in for quite a ride here.

779
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 1: We need to pay very close attention to what they're

780
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: actually doing and what their plans are going forward, because

781
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: you know the media is going to be doing nothing

782
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: but running cover for them. And you can see all

783
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: all the wackiest loons out there in the climate change movement.

784
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: This is their moment right now, while people are downtrodden,

785
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: need help, need checks, need the government to step in

786
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: and assist. What we're seeing is that climate change stuff

787
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: is being rammed through simultaneously. So those of us who

788
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: are on the one end, we're focused on what the

789
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: government actions are. They're going to say, we need we

790
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: need to get money into people's hands, we need to

791
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: take these actions. But then they turn around and they say, oh,

792
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: but we're going to push all these climate executive orders.

793
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Jay Insley, this guy is honestly like monomaniacal

794
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: about the issue of climate change. I mean, it's just

795
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: a climate trade, you know. And he's talking about how

796
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 1: we're going to have a clean energy revolution. Now play nine.

797
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: This is a nation ready to take off in a

798
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: clean energy revolution. This is perfect for the United States.

799
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: This is tied up for us to do what we

800
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: do best, which has developed jobs in new industries, and

801
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: we are doing that today. Today, clean energy jobs in

802
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: the reality is are growing three times faster than the

803
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: nation's average. This is the place to create energy jobs.

804
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: This is the future and the present. Listen these The

805
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: other side wants to shackle people to a past of

806
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: an area of declining jobs. This is a reality. We

807
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: do not want to shackle our children to the deadweight

808
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: of jobs that aren't going to exist thirty years from now.

809
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: We want to give our kids the jobs that are growing.

810
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: And this is the number one job creation engine. Is

811
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: clean energy, and I couldn't be more tickle. Look, this

812
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: is the hallelujhit moment. From my view. We've crossed the

813
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: desert of denial and deception about climate change, and we

814
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: have a president who understands how to and he's doing

815
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: that big time today. This is all religious fervor. And

816
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: Jay Nsley is not a smart not a smart man.

817
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: This is this is religious belief coming out here. They've

818
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: crossed the desert of the denial and all this stuff.

819
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,240
Speaker 1: If climate change was, what they say, the greatest engine

820
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: for job growth, why does it require enormous government intervention,

821
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: regulation and picking winners and losers even to get it

822
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 1: go in a little bit? What's what? Why does the

823
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: government have to be involved at all? If this is

824
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: so great and so efficient and so profitable, why do

825
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: we have to have this ram down our throats by

826
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's pen. Why our executive orders even necessary? And

827
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: all this stuff? Oh, that's right, because they are just

828
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: sort of like Robin Hood the app. They are rigging

829
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: the game, and they're rigging the game for their green

830
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: energy interests.
