Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio act
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. It's really a perfect view,
Speaker 1: a preview, if you will, of what you can expect
Speaker 1: from this Democrat administration. I don't know who thinks that
Speaker 1: this is in any way of surprise. I certainly don't.
Speaker 1: We have here is the National Guard defending defending our
Speaker 1: sacred democracy. All the stuff we were hearing from the
Speaker 1: Democrats about how important it was because of Trump voters.
Speaker 1: Of course, we're dangerous. Trump voters are dangerous. You can't
Speaker 1: trust them on seventy five million of them, but he
Speaker 1: can't trust them. And they had to deploy National Guard
Speaker 1: all over DC in numbers no one has ever seen
Speaker 1: in living memory because of what exactly, because of the threat,
Speaker 1: and because they want to have a show of force.
Speaker 1: That's what you would call this. If we were looking
Speaker 1: at another country that had gone through this, we'd say, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: so the new government wanted to engage in a show
Speaker 1: of force. That is exactly what happened. And they were
Speaker 1: all about how the National Guard was necessary because of
Speaker 1: the threat of imminent violence from Trump voters and white
Speaker 1: supremacists and insurgents and all the stuff that they said.
Speaker 1: But then we saw what they really think. What Pelosi
Speaker 1: and Schumer, Well, what do these elitist democrats actually think
Speaker 1: of the National Guard? Well, they needed to be vetted
Speaker 1: for pro Trump sympathies, which was offensive. Just the fact
Speaker 1: that that was even raised, that that was even talked about,
Speaker 1: should enrage people. What is this all of a sudden.
Speaker 1: Now there are ideological tests that we run for the
Speaker 1: military to see if they're supportive of the former president.
Speaker 1: That's gonna work out really well for the future of
Speaker 1: this country. That's not going to lead to any problems.
Speaker 1: But now we see even more than before what the
Speaker 1: truth is here the new regime's treatment of the National Guard.
Speaker 1: Here is, as I said, a perfect preview of their
Speaker 1: approach to everyday Americans. At first, it's all smiles and
Speaker 1: handshakes for the photo op. Then some Pelosi staffer hurries
Speaker 1: you out the servants entrance, advises you to catch a
Speaker 1: bus as the door slams. They don't give a crap
Speaker 1: about you, me and our National Guard. That's right, doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: No thought given to this whatsoever. Here's the headline from
Speaker 1: Politico yesterday, dozens of Senators and Congressmen walked down our lines.
Speaker 1: This is a quote, taking photos, shaking our hands and
Speaker 1: thanking us for our service. One National Guard has been
Speaker 1: said within twenty four hours, they had no further use
Speaker 1: for us and banished us to the corner of a
Speaker 1: parking garage. Look at that quote. We feel incredibly betrayed.
Speaker 1: That's right. We feel incredibly betrayed. Is that he won
Speaker 1: even a little bit surprised by this. Here's more of
Speaker 1: the story. Thousands of National guardsmen were allowed back into
Speaker 1: the Capitol late Thursday night after US police officers. US
Speaker 1: Capitol Police ordered them to vacate the facilities, sending them
Speaker 1: outdoors or to parking garages. After two weeks of pulling
Speaker 1: security duty. After the January sixth Capitol Hill riot, one unit,
Speaker 1: which which was in the Dirk's Incentate office building, was
Speaker 1: abruptly told to vacate the facility on Thursday. The group
Speaker 1: was told to rest in a nearby parking garage without
Speaker 1: Internet reception, with one electrical outlet and one bathroom stall
Speaker 1: for five thousand troops. Temperatures were in the forties in
Speaker 1: Washington at the time. Yes Democrats. Oh, they're gonna be
Speaker 1: so good at governance. They're gonna take care of us.
Speaker 1: They care about the troops, all that stuff about you know,
Speaker 1: going after Vietnam vets and stretching on for decades, and
Speaker 1: how it all came from the left, and the undermining
Speaker 1: of our soldiers during a time of war Iraq Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we can forget it. The Democrat
Speaker 1: politicians really love the troops. Sure, they care so much
Speaker 1: about them. Yeah, it's just amazing. It's just amazing to
Speaker 1: see it, isn't It didn't even take didn't even take
Speaker 1: us twenty four hours. Didn't take us twenty four hours
Speaker 1: before we were able to see what Biden and the
Speaker 1: Democrats really think of the United States military. I mean,
Speaker 1: what kind of respect do they really hold them in?
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're they're useful sometimes, but you know,
Speaker 1: some of them are Trump voters. And the ones who
Speaker 1: were a Trump voters, they're not fancy people. They're not
Speaker 1: hanging out with Pelosi and Schumer and all these other
Speaker 1: rich Democrat politicians that care so much about the working class.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, and they care Pelosi cares so much about minorities.
Speaker 1: This is the fundamental fraud of the Democrat Party that
Speaker 1: they have these people who actually care in a deep
Speaker 1: and meaningful way about everyday Americans, the working class, the poor,
Speaker 1: about you know, the National Guard, about minorities. Just just
Speaker 1: pick a group that they care so much, Yeah, banish
Speaker 1: them as soon as they were done with them. And
Speaker 1: you know this is this is just indicative of what
Speaker 1: you can expect from from the Biden administration because they're
Speaker 1: gonna get sloppy. That's one thing that you know is
Speaker 1: gonna happen. They're gonna get sloppy because ultimately they don't
Speaker 1: have any real check on their behavior from the press
Speaker 1: or the media. They get lacks. Biden, the Democrats, when
Speaker 1: they're in charge of things, they figure, well, we don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about it. It's not like anyone's really
Speaker 1: gonna dig up the dirty laundry of good old blue
Speaker 1: collar Joe. So they figure they can kind of do
Speaker 1: whatever they want and no big deal, don't even have
Speaker 1: to worry about it. And then stuff like this happens,
Speaker 1: and you'll see more. It's been it's been twenty four
Speaker 1: hours basically now forty eight, but I've been come on,
Speaker 1: it's the first week. We just had the inauguration on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: and here we are already seeing that they do not
Speaker 1: really care. Now you'd say, oh, this is an overstatement.
Speaker 1: No it's not. It's not. They have these they had
Speaker 1: these National Guards. But I spoke to people who are
Speaker 1: are current and former military about this. They were all saying,
Speaker 1: why are they having them all sleep on marble floors?
Speaker 1: They have they have sleeping bags, they've got ruck sacks,
Speaker 1: they've got pads to put down. I mean, the all
Speaker 1: just gonna sleep on the floor of the Capitol. First
Speaker 1: of all, where they even called them in the first place.
Speaker 1: He didn't need to have thirty thousand National Guard troops
Speaker 1: or twenty eight thousand or seven thousand, whatever the number was,
Speaker 1: twenty seven thousand. He didn't need that. It's insane, right,
Speaker 1: you know, there there was some some people you know,
Speaker 1: who are Trump voters or supporters, made a very dumb
Speaker 1: decision on January sixth, and that's that's it. Everybody else
Speaker 1: is like, what the hell are you doing? There's not
Speaker 1: some huge movement. They're they're not gonna overturn inauguration day
Speaker 1: or you know, a whole DC underseades was all lunacy, lunacy,
Speaker 1: But it's useful because Democrats other they're so scared of
Speaker 1: the Republicans. Oh my gosh, Trump voters. They smell terrified
Speaker 1: of them. But they were all about the photo ops
Speaker 1: with the National Guard, all about making sure that we
Speaker 1: saw them defending our sacred democracy, that Joe Biden was
Speaker 1: now going to steer back into the light of day.
Speaker 1: And then you know then things kind of just weren't
Speaker 1: as important to them anymore. Yeah, that's right. Now, it's
Speaker 1: five thousand. You go into a cold garage, lie on
Speaker 1: the concrete. You've only pulled a twelve hour shift doing
Speaker 1: a completely unnecessary guard duty that we're making you do
Speaker 1: as the United States Congress, as the Democrat regime comes
Speaker 1: into power. Yeah, go lie in the concrete. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: that's that's what you know? What do you? What do you?
Speaker 1: What do you? National Guard? People say, you know who? Who? Ah?
Speaker 1: I can just see Pelosi? You know who? Rah? What
Speaker 1: is it? Yeah? Go whurrah on the concrete. There you go.
Speaker 1: That's how they actually that's what they actually think. You
Speaker 1: think these politicians, I mean, say what you will about Trump,
Speaker 1: I'll say this, and this is why that lie in
Speaker 1: that news story from August of twenty twenty about how
Speaker 1: he said, you know that the troops were troops who
Speaker 1: were killed in battle or losers or something. Trump actually
Speaker 1: really respected the military. He thinks those guys are badasses,
Speaker 1: and they're cool guys and gals, of course, but you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, he he's got nothing to love
Speaker 1: for the United States military. You just know, that's just
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that that's part of his whole approach.
Speaker 1: That's his ethos. Legs brave, courageous go getters who likes
Speaker 1: the United States military. He think Pelosi cares about the
Speaker 1: military really. And Biden, look, Biden's he's just a big fraud,
Speaker 1: phony phony. He does whatever he's got to do and
Speaker 1: whatever the moment is in order to keep getting elected.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just to keep getting elected. Machine. Got
Speaker 1: a big grin, you know, and all kinds of work
Speaker 1: done around his eyes so he doesn't look like he's
Speaker 1: quite as old as he is. And you know, it's
Speaker 1: all just optics. That's what we have. Now. We have
Speaker 1: an empty suit politician as the president. You know, you
Speaker 1: could love her, hey Trump, but at least there was
Speaker 1: something going on there. At least there was a guy
Speaker 1: who came in, who was shaking things up, who had
Speaker 1: a different vision, who had a lot of personality and
Speaker 1: a lot of ideas about what he wanted to do,
Speaker 1: and was forceful. It was like, I want to get
Speaker 1: I want to do this, I want to get this done.
Speaker 1: This is what we're gonna say, Joe Biden, it's all
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the staff, right where A lot
Speaker 1: of that not to be mean, but you even see
Speaker 1: like Jens look, Trump had tear some terrible picks for
Speaker 1: especially in the first year of his term, terrible picks
Speaker 1: that he put around him, but he didn't he wasn't
Speaker 1: a guy who's been in politics for ten or twenty
Speaker 1: or thirty years and you know, knew who would work
Speaker 1: and one role and everything else. So I give him
Speaker 1: a little bit of a break on on the first
Speaker 1: year picks because they were really bad. But I mean
Speaker 1: they're bringing back like like Jen Saki as the White
Speaker 1: House Press secretary. This is just a deeply unimpressive person.
Speaker 1: I'm maybe she's nice, I have nothing against her, never
Speaker 1: met her, non't know her here. She could be a
Speaker 1: lovely person in a social setting, but this is somebody, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know like just Joe Biden's like gonna be like
Speaker 1: so good and like he's gonna do all like the
Speaker 1: good things and like democracy and like freedom sometimes and great.
Speaker 1: This is what we've got. This is where we are now,
Speaker 1: National Guard thousands strong for a photo op and then
Speaker 1: told go all share one bathroom and one electrical outlet
Speaker 1: for hours and hours and hours. Go sleep on the concrete.
Speaker 1: They're not in Baghdad, they're not taking enemy fire. Okay,
Speaker 1: They're here in the United States Capital on inauguration Day.
Speaker 1: I think we all recognize we could have done a
Speaker 1: whole lot better here. But Biden's people are in charge.
Speaker 1: Now this is what you get. I know you're not surprised.
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised either. This is the Buck Sexton Shoe Podcast.
Speaker 1: Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Speaking of Jensaki,
Speaker 1: who is the now White House Press Secretary, I guess
Speaker 1: she was State Department spokesman before something like that. Spokesperson
Speaker 1: of course. Sorry, Sorry, my pronouns are you know what
Speaker 1: my pronouns are? How about that as an answer, my
Speaker 1: pronouns are. I don't get to choose because it is
Speaker 1: a fact of biological reality. You know, they've changed that now.
Speaker 1: I mean I was, I was even joking around about
Speaker 1: this in the last few weeks, and sure enough they
Speaker 1: have Actually, the White House has changed this on forms now,
Speaker 1: so you can put your your preferred pronouns. But my
Speaker 1: pronouns are a fact of biological reality. So I don't
Speaker 1: have to tell you what they are. You know what
Speaker 1: they are. And yet we have Jensaki. Jensaki now is
Speaker 1: the White House Press Secretarian. You no doubt have picked
Speaker 1: up on the fact that the the Biden administration is
Speaker 1: very devout. They're very devout adherents of the mask religion
Speaker 1: right now. The mask religion is rooted in some basic
Speaker 1: physiological and scientific fact. Of course, a covering will prevent
Speaker 1: some degree of spittle and you know, aerosolized exhalation moisture
Speaker 1: from spreading out more to the room. What does this
Speaker 1: do for the actual transmission of a virus that is
Speaker 1: so much smaller than the actual mesh and the mask
Speaker 1: and the moment that you're not wearing the mask doesn't
Speaker 1: even really matter, have you anyway? There's but that's Those
Speaker 1: are the questions that if we were actually talking about science,
Speaker 1: people could ask. You can't ask those questions anymore. You
Speaker 1: can't ask those questions. But the masking religion is very,
Speaker 1: very powerful. It's all about repeating the mantra and shaming
Speaker 1: anybody who does not adhere to it, even though there
Speaker 1: are some points where you'd have to say, there's no
Speaker 1: justifying there's no reason to believe that this is a
Speaker 1: serious that this is based in serious scientific fact. For example,
Speaker 1: around the issue of you know, masking up between bites
Speaker 1: in a restaurant, right, how is that? How is that
Speaker 1: going to help anybody? Well, it doesn't. But that's part
Speaker 1: of the mask religion, and you're not allowed a question.
Speaker 1: A question there is in a very you know, very
Speaker 1: real way. Here a moment in which we saw a
Speaker 1: Jen Saki asked a question. It's actually more than a
Speaker 1: moment's a little bit long. I wanted to hear this though,
Speaker 1: because on Inauguration night, but you know, Biden had signed
Speaker 1: a federal order saying that you have to mask on
Speaker 1: all federal property. That's now the new that's now the
Speaker 1: new standard. You got a mask because because that's really
Speaker 1: going to bring down the virus. I mean, this whole
Speaker 1: it's all for show. But anyway, I remember when I
Speaker 1: was in the White House in May. Everybody was wearing masks. Okay,
Speaker 1: I was at the White House in May. Everybody was
Speaker 1: wearing masks. Jen Saki was asked though, because the Biden
Speaker 1: family and he's got some granddaughters, and look they look
Speaker 1: like nice, nice young ladies, and you know, the whole
Speaker 1: thing's fine. You know, unlike Libs, I'm not a psycho,
Speaker 1: so I don't unnecessarily and without any provocation or rationale,
Speaker 1: trash third parties, family members, kids. We're gonna do that,
Speaker 1: you know, We're gonna see now with with Biden and power,
Speaker 1: one thing we will do is prove that we're not
Speaker 1: the same kind of lunatic savages that the Democrat media are,
Speaker 1: who just go after anybody. They go. They went after
Speaker 1: Baron Trump, they went after Melany, They go after everybody.
Speaker 1: And Baron was like ten years old when Trump started
Speaker 1: his time in office. But so, but Biden's grandkids are
Speaker 1: there and they're taking photos and guess what, they're all together,
Speaker 1: they're all hugging and they don't have masks on. Oh
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I thought that this was like a crime
Speaker 1: against humanity. Well turns out Jen Saki's got a different version.
Speaker 1: Play fourteen, why we're a president Biden and all members
Speaker 1: of the Biden's family masks at all times on federal lands.
Speaker 1: Last night, if he signed and they say you order
Speaker 1: that Mandy's masks on federal lands at all lives at
Speaker 1: the inaugirls, I think he was celebrating an evening of
Speaker 1: Doric Day in our country, and certainly he signed the
Speaker 1: mask mandate because it's a way to send a message
Speaker 1: to the American public about the importance of wearing masks.
Speaker 1: How can save tens of thousands of lives. We take
Speaker 1: a number of COVID precautions as you know here in
Speaker 1: terms of testing social distancing mask wearing ourselves as we
Speaker 1: do every single day. But I don't know that I
Speaker 1: have more for you on it than that. But Jolanten
Speaker 1: talks about it is not just important example of power,
Speaker 1: but the power of our example. Was that a good
Speaker 1: example for people who are watching my hate hashing normally? Well, Steve,
Speaker 1: I think the power of his example is also the
Speaker 1: message he sends by signing twenty five executive orders, including
Speaker 1: almost half of them related to COVID. The requirements that
Speaker 1: we're all under every single day here to ensure we're
Speaker 1: sending that message to the public. Yesterday was a historic
Speaker 1: moment our history. He was inaugurated as President of the
Speaker 1: United States. He was surrounded by his family. We take
Speaker 1: a number of precautions, but I don't think I think
Speaker 1: we have big, bigger issues to worry about at this
Speaker 1: moment in time. It was a historic moment. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: excuse me, it was a historic no no hold on
Speaker 1: the virus is like totally not like so dangerous when
Speaker 1: it's a historic moment. Jen is like so upset about this,
Speaker 1: Like why does she I just don't understand, Like I
Speaker 1: don't get it. Historic moment, your new White House Press secretary.
Speaker 1: Everybody there, you go. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Join the conversations and message Buck on Facebook, Instagram, or
Speaker 1: emails Team Bucket iHeartMedia dot com. He may read it
Speaker 1: on the show. Oh my gosh, Like I am not
Speaker 1: on with John Sack, Like she's a new White House
Speaker 1: Press secretary and we're gonna start having a lot of
Speaker 1: Jen Sack time here because it's time for you to
Speaker 1: thaky to me. Yeah. She did get asked another question
Speaker 1: that she didn't have a particularly a particularly strong response to.
Speaker 1: It had to do with the fact that Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: for all the talk of he's a mode, remember he's
Speaker 1: a Democrat now. And there are certain certain guide certain
Speaker 1: pieces of ideology of legislation. There's a framework you must
Speaker 1: operate within. There are lines you cannot cross as a Democrat. Now,
Speaker 1: not really ethical lines, that's always I mean, what the
Speaker 1: party dictates, kind of like if you were dealing with
Speaker 1: the Soviet polite borow. Whatever the party says, you must obey.
Speaker 1: And there are some areas where they have been very
Speaker 1: clear on what the party wants, what the party demands,
Speaker 1: which brings me to the High Amendment. Now, this says
Speaker 1: that you can't have funding for internet. Essentially, you can't
Speaker 1: fund abortion around the world with US taxpayer dollars. So
Speaker 1: you can't fund programs, you can't give give financial assistance
Speaker 1: to programs that are around the world that are that
Speaker 1: are promoting abortion or that are conducting abortion procedures. And
Speaker 1: it's called the High Amendment. It's been around for a
Speaker 1: long time. Joe Biden's got getting rid of the High Amendment. Now,
Speaker 1: this used to be considered a third rail in politics,
Speaker 1: meaning that Democrats this was one very small area of
Speaker 1: abortion politics that Democrats admitted it seemed a little too extreme.
Speaker 1: So this was a This was a concession, which very
Speaker 1: rare when it comes to anything having to do with abortion.
Speaker 1: This was a concession that they that the Democrats had
Speaker 1: been willing to make for some time. But as we know,
Speaker 1: with Democrats, it's always it's like establishing a cease fire
Speaker 1: with a hostile and power mad enemy. Right, they will
Speaker 1: just decide at some point, oh, now we can get
Speaker 1: what we want. I mean, I saw a fascinating, a
Speaker 1: fascinating exchange today on Twitter where some Blue check liberal
Speaker 1: was guys, just so you know, if if the Democrats
Speaker 1: get rid of the filibuster, it's only because the Republicans
Speaker 1: would have done it at some point anyway. Oh, that's
Speaker 1: really interesting logic, considering Republicans have been in the majority
Speaker 1: and had power for four years with Donald Trump, the
Speaker 1: alleged you know, authoritarian dictator, and that never happened. Somehow,
Speaker 1: that never happened, but we're supposed to believe, Oh no,
Speaker 1: it would totally happen. So now we're gonna do it.
Speaker 1: That was the justification. You know, this is oh gosh,
Speaker 1: it reminds me of that most humiliating moment that those
Speaker 1: of you who have siblings, particularly if you're you know,
Speaker 1: you got a brother, and you're you know, you're a guy,
Speaker 1: you got a brother is It's one thing when they would,
Speaker 1: you know, punch you in the arm or give you
Speaker 1: a you know, a wedgie or something. It's another thing
Speaker 1: when they're when your brother was was old enough than
Speaker 1: you and older enough than wrong enough that he'd hit
Speaker 1: you in the face with your own hands a little
Speaker 1: bit and tell you to stop hitting yourself. That's that's
Speaker 1: really what democrats like to do. We're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 1: get rid of the filibuster and it's your fault because
Speaker 1: you would have done it if we didn't do it.
Speaker 1: What how do How does that make any Stop hitting yourself?
Speaker 1: Stop hitting yourself. That's what they're doing. Some of you
Speaker 1: know exactly. Some of you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: And if you have kids, you you might have seen
Speaker 1: the older boy of two of your sons. That's the
Speaker 1: ultimate that's the ultimate sibling humiliation is when the older
Speaker 1: brother smacks the younger brother in the face with his
Speaker 1: own hands. Stop hitting yourself. But Jen Saki is going
Speaker 1: to have to defend a lot of this Joe Biden stuff.
Speaker 1: There's no way around it. And they like to tell
Speaker 1: us that he's a moderate. He's got that big grin
Speaker 1: and those super whitened teeth and the whole thing. And
Speaker 1: ultimately he's still a Democrat, which means that on the
Speaker 1: issue of abortion, he is a de facto extremist because
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party has taken an absolutist position on abortion.
Speaker 1: That is, it is a special right in that there
Speaker 1: can be no First of all, it's a right that
Speaker 1: doesn't exist in the Constitution. Put aside for a second
Speaker 1: that it's evil in immoral. It's a right that doesn't
Speaker 1: exist in the Constitution that they created in the constitution,
Speaker 1: and then it's somehow the only constitutional right even though
Speaker 1: it's not in the Constitution in any way, shape or form,
Speaker 1: that can have no restrictions or limitations on it whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Speech limitations, right to bear arms, limitations, right all all
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff, limitations abortion anytime you want, anywhere you want.
Speaker 1: And now federal funding for it, so now you have
Speaker 1: to pay for it. Now you're essentially being made to
Speaker 1: be complicit in this. And Jensaki has asked this question
Speaker 1: and I just I just have to laugh about this one,
Speaker 1: although it's not I mean, obviously it's a horrific issue.
Speaker 1: It's not funny at all. But I have to have
Speaker 1: at Jensaki, who we're gonna look, We're gonna have a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of Saki time over the next
Speaker 1: couple of years at least, so get ready for it.
Speaker 1: But here she is. When I asked about the High
Speaker 1: Amendment and the Mexico City question, play it two big
Speaker 1: concerns for life, the Mariage, the High Amendment, which of
Speaker 1: course he keeps tax player dollars you know, paying for abortions,
Speaker 1: medicated abortions, and the Mexico City policy, which another previous
Speaker 1: administration wouldn't have expanded to keep tax dollars some overseas
Speaker 1: paying for abortions. So what are presidents what does President
Speaker 1: bid him plenty on doing? And those two items right now? Well,
Speaker 1: I think we'll have more to say on the Mexico
Speaker 1: City policy in the coming days, but I will just
Speaker 1: take the opportunity to remind all of you that he
Speaker 1: is a devout Catholic and somebody who attends church regularly.
Speaker 1: He started his day attending church with his family this morning.
Speaker 1: But I don't have anything more for you. Let me
Speaker 1: I think I might. I might have gotten through together
Speaker 1: the high Mexico City policy. So just for clarity, high
Speaker 1: Amendment is about domestic funding of abortion with taxpayer dollars,
Speaker 1: and which is really going on anyway though, because Plan
Speaker 1: Parenthood gets money and funds or fungible as you know.
Speaker 1: But anyway, and then the Mexico City policy has to
Speaker 1: do with the donations to anything that provides abortion abroad.
Speaker 1: So for point of clarity there, but notice that she
Speaker 1: goes Joe Biden is Joe Biden's a devout Catholic. Well,
Speaker 1: that's interesting because the Catholic Church give it credit, and
Speaker 1: you know I'm a Catholic. A Catholic Church is sound
Speaker 1: on the and clear on this issue. Abortion is wrong.
Speaker 1: Abortion is a grave sin. Abortion is the taking of
Speaker 1: a human life. You cannot do this. This is bad,
Speaker 1: this is evil, And yet Joe Biden is a public official.
Speaker 1: Even worse. We are all we are all sinners. We
Speaker 1: know that right, We all sin We all commit offenses
Speaker 1: against God and in a sense, against ourselves every time
Speaker 1: we fail to live up to who we are and
Speaker 1: our own and our standards. Of ethics, morals, and decency.
Speaker 1: But it's another thing when you're a person in a
Speaker 1: tremendously powerful and influential position who is effectively pushing for
Speaker 1: everyone else to sin. That's even worse. Pushing for everyone
Speaker 1: that's not just Joe Biden, you know who might on
Speaker 1: a personal level, or you know, push somebody that he
Speaker 1: knows to do this or something like that. This is
Speaker 1: everybody should do this. This is better for everybody. And
Speaker 1: he's got power. It's not even just that he has
Speaker 1: an opinions. She brings up that Joe Biden is a
Speaker 1: devout Catholic. And I tell you right now there's a
Speaker 1: problem for the Catholic Church. They should deny Joe Biden
Speaker 1: communion full stop. They should deny Nancy Pelosi communion. There's
Speaker 1: no question here that they are in violation of a
Speaker 1: core Catholic belief from the church. And there's there's no
Speaker 1: wiggle room on this one. And they're public officials and
Speaker 1: they advocate for this. They should not be active participants
Speaker 1: in celebrating the Eucharist. Then they should not be a
Speaker 1: Catholic mass, or at least not receiving the sacrament. I
Speaker 1: should say of communion, a Catholic mass, Joe Biden should
Speaker 1: be cast out until he amends his ways, until he
Speaker 1: so you can talk about being a devout Catholic. That's
Speaker 1: not a Oh I go to church, so you know
Speaker 1: I could be like a mass murdering Michael Path who
Speaker 1: wants abortion all over the world. No, that's not how
Speaker 1: it works. But it was an early reminder no matter
Speaker 1: what religion you are, it's an early reminder of Joe
Speaker 1: Biden is just a flimsy fraud God doesn't really stand
Speaker 1: for anything except getting Joe Biden elected and then being
Speaker 1: an instrument for the desires of the Democrat Party because
Speaker 1: that's his team, that's who puts him in power. It's
Speaker 1: tough to know even what he believes. Does he really
Speaker 1: believe in anything or is it all just a jumble
Speaker 1: of speeches in his head, including speeches that he just
Speaker 1: asked Neil Kinnock plagiarizes from people. I'm just wondering what
Speaker 1: does Joe Biden really believe? What's Joe Biden really all about?
Speaker 1: I don't even think Joe Biden knows you're in the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. Thanks for listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

Speaker 1: I think more and more Republicans. I'll be surprised if
Speaker 1: we don't have nearly near a unanimous belief that impeaching
Speaker 1: the president after the leave office is unconstitutional on the
Speaker 1: Republican side. Now, I think we'll pick up at least
Speaker 1: one Democrat, maybe more so, Tony. I don't want to
Speaker 1: tell you viewers that people listen to your program the Senate.
Speaker 1: McConnell's come up with a plan that I think is
Speaker 1: good for the country, good for the Senate, fair to
Speaker 1: the president. The president has a very good legal team,
Speaker 1: a great legal team, and we're going to fight like
Speaker 1: hell to make sure that the second impeachment of Donald
Speaker 1: Trump ends as quickly as possible, either dismissed or with
Speaker 1: an overwhelming vote for acquittal. They better dismissed her vote
Speaker 1: for acquittal. What what lunacy? I mean? I know Mitch
Speaker 1: McConnell is a he's an institutionalist. He's a guy who
Speaker 1: I know very much believes that the Senate is a
Speaker 1: sacred institution, and he has been a high priest of
Speaker 1: that of the Church of the Senate, if you will,
Speaker 1: for a long time. But getting rid of Donald Trump
Speaker 1: after Trump has already left office is just insane. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know why Democrats want to do it, and mind you,
Speaker 1: it's it's a real combination. I mean, you can make
Speaker 1: the case that it's all about the humiliation of Trump
Speaker 1: and the humiliation of Trump voters. That's true. But beyond that,
Speaker 1: you could make a case that it's because they're worried
Speaker 1: that Trump could come back and win. And I think
Speaker 1: that's real. I think that's true. I mean I believe
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump, depending on how the next four years
Speaker 1: go and how he positions himself. And also, look, we
Speaker 1: got to see how this Biden administration does. You know, friends,
Speaker 1: if the Biden administration presides over a booming economy, no
Speaker 1: new wars, and it doesn't just do anything disastrous, well
Speaker 1: I'll still be fighting with them on things like changing
Speaker 1: the pronouns or changing the section about you know, choosing
Speaker 1: your pronouns on all White House forms. But you know, overall,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you it's a disaster if
Speaker 1: it's not. Unfortunately, I think it's going to be a disaster. Democrats,
Speaker 1: they they pulled this whole thing, it's all, it's all
Speaker 1: just built on this rickety foundation of this almost eighty
Speaker 1: year old guy who is a mediocrity at best. That
Speaker 1: no one's inspired by that, No one's But it was
Speaker 1: we can use all of the apparatus, sees, we could
Speaker 1: use all of the medium, muscle, everything, we've got to
Speaker 1: push this guy through. That's what it was. That was
Speaker 1: the whole point, right, we can make this guy president
Speaker 1: and beat Trump. That was the only calculation. Nobody sat
Speaker 1: around saying, yeah, you know, it would be really great.
Speaker 1: You know, it'd really be a game changer. Or Joe
Speaker 1: Biden presidency, that would be really great. No one, I
Speaker 1: don't think Joe Biden thinks that. Oh maybe now, now
Speaker 1: the Biden name, the guy's a president. Think of all
Speaker 1: the portraits and the big photos and the presidential library,
Speaker 1: and you know, the Biden kids are gonna be and
Speaker 1: grandkids are gonna be finding out on this one for
Speaker 1: the rest of their lives. Right, so they're all good
Speaker 1: to go. Now, Biden's already rich, isn't that interesting? He's rich?
Speaker 1: But how no one's allowed to ask those questions. He's
Speaker 1: about to get a whole lot richer, the whole family,
Speaker 1: the whole name, the brand. So getting rid of Trump,
Speaker 1: though after the fact, it would be if the GOP
Speaker 1: does that, I mean, if GOP senators do that, I
Speaker 1: worry that there will just be a kind of there'll
Speaker 1: be a nullification of the party from the base where
Speaker 1: they'll just say, we're done, We're sitting this one out.
Speaker 1: Let's just let the Democrats run the whole thing because
Speaker 1: we don't even we don't even care, you know. Just
Speaker 1: batten down the hatches, hold your loved ones close, think
Speaker 1: about moving to uh, you know, New Zealand or something.
Speaker 1: Although they're really strict in the COVID stuff, so that's
Speaker 1: not where I would go. I'd go somewhere with a
Speaker 1: little more spice. Um. But I'm just saying that there
Speaker 1: there's the the implosion of the GOP that would occur
Speaker 1: if they were to take this action against Trump is
Speaker 1: so obvious, and anybody who doesn't see it that way
Speaker 1: doesn't have the interest of Republicans and conservatives and the
Speaker 1: Constitution and the rule of law in their minds. I
Speaker 1: think it's very straightforward. And then there's also the other
Speaker 1: people who are still in office who are getting all
Speaker 1: this pressure and have all these these members of not
Speaker 1: just the media, but of Congress who are calling for
Speaker 1: their ouster. AOC said this about her congressional colleagues. They're
Speaker 1: in the Senate, she's in the House. But congressional colleagues
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz and Josh Holley play too well. You know,
Speaker 1: I think that the moment we get to a point
Speaker 1: where we are delaying, where we are almost where that
Speaker 1: delay is coming from us, and where that delay is
Speaker 1: really starting to get in the way of justice, then
Speaker 1: we need to really start figuring out what in fact
Speaker 1: is going on. However, hey, if they want to delay it,
Speaker 1: let's bring up a vote to expel Ted Cruise and
Speaker 1: Josh Holly from the Senate. Think got time on our hands,
Speaker 1: and we should be actually bringing justice to the members
Speaker 1: of Congress and the members of the Senate who also
Speaker 1: help support this insurrection, think, let's not they absolutely, if
Speaker 1: they don't resign, they should be excelled. Serial chance nobody resigns,
Speaker 1: then then we should hold the vote. AOC, assuming she's
Speaker 1: put down the wine coolers for this interview, is saying
Speaker 1: that they should chick out Josh Holly and Ted Cruise. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: why what exactly did they do? They wanted to have
Speaker 1: a commission to present the evidence about allegations of voter fraud.
Speaker 1: That would have been a good idea. At least it
Speaker 1: would be worthwhile for the Congress to have the presentations.
Speaker 1: Put her all out there, let's see it in a
Speaker 1: place where it could be resented a matter of legal record,
Speaker 1: have the public see, have the exchange about what's true
Speaker 1: what's not. I still get people sending me thinks. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I get stuff sent to me from listeners across the
Speaker 1: country and they say, well, what about what about this?
Speaker 1: And I say, look, I've seen the data on this one.
Speaker 1: It turns out that that allegation was not true. There
Speaker 1: were some fraud allegations that were not true. But there
Speaker 1: are other ones where they send it to me and
Speaker 1: I say, I agree, we don't know. We don't have
Speaker 1: the answers to this. How did this happen? What? Why?
Speaker 1: Why does it seem like there was an over vote,
Speaker 1: or why does it seem like they didn't check the
Speaker 1: signature match properly or at any number of things. But
Speaker 1: even for using even for having the temerity according to AOC,
Speaker 1: do you think she knows the word temerity means maybe
Speaker 1: fifty fifty Even for having the temerity to push to
Speaker 1: use the system within this system, but it was still
Speaker 1: for the overall cause of exposing fraud, Ted Cruise and
Speaker 1: Josh Holly, two US senators, must be expelled, must be removed.
Speaker 1: We are told this is crazy, but this is the
Speaker 1: way it is right now. This is where we are.
Speaker 1: This is how they're going to continue to do things.
Speaker 1: They want payback, they want to punish their political enemies.
Speaker 1: AOC at the at the front of a line. Really,
Speaker 1: she's really hoping to accomplish that. So we'll just sort
Speaker 1: of continue to see if they're able to get their
Speaker 1: way here by expelling Trump after the fact. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: But obviously they're not going to get rid of Cruizer Holly.
Speaker 1: But the fact that they're even trying shows you what
Speaker 1: they're really all about. You're listening to the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. A
Speaker 1: little bit abou about how you feel kind of released
Speaker 1: from from what you had been doing for the last year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you said I was joking about it. I was
Speaker 1: very serious about it. I wasn't joking, you know, Actually,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean Obviously I don't want to be
Speaker 1: going back, you know, over history, but it was very
Speaker 1: clear that there were things that were said, be it
Speaker 1: regarding things like hydroxy chloroquine and other things like that
Speaker 1: that really was an uncomfortable because they were not based
Speaker 1: on scientific fact. I can tell you I take no
Speaker 1: pleasure at all in being in a situation of contradicting
Speaker 1: the precedent. So it was really something that you didn't
Speaker 1: feel that you could actually say something and there wouldn't
Speaker 1: be any repercussions about it. The idea that you can
Speaker 1: get up here and talk about what you know, what
Speaker 1: the evidence, what the science is, and no, that's it.
Speaker 1: Let the science speak. It is somewhat of a liberating feeling.
Speaker 1: You basically vanished for a few months there for a while.
Speaker 1: You feel now, I think so doctor Fouch, Hey, Harry
Speaker 1: is doing a little victory dance. Do a little dance,
Speaker 1: give a little fouch. Mask up tonight, Yeah, mask up tonight,
Speaker 1: Doctor Fouci, do it. His take. I can't believe that
Speaker 1: we have this, this smug bureaucrat that we have to
Speaker 1: deal with again. We have to deal with more of
Speaker 1: this guy. I'm I'm sitting here and I am flabbergasted.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is really, this is really where we are,
Speaker 1: This is really what we've got. Gotta have doctor Fouci
Speaker 1: telling us all the things? Does this thing? Does anyone
Speaker 1: think this is gonna make a situation better? Now we're
Speaker 1: gonna have him. What do you think he's going to
Speaker 1: tell people that they don't This is only my big question.
Speaker 1: What do you think he's gonna tell people that they
Speaker 1: don't all ready? No, really curious about this? What is
Speaker 1: he gonna tell people that I don't already know? I
Speaker 1: just have to say, we've heard this stuff a million
Speaker 1: times from this guy. Gotta wash your hands. You got
Speaker 1: a social distance. You know the data. I listen to
Speaker 1: the science. This notion that they have clear, provable, demonstrable
Speaker 1: scientific conclusions about this virus and about things about it
Speaker 1: that there's real debate about. Um, it's just nonsense. There's
Speaker 1: so much that they don't know. He acts like there's
Speaker 1: this thing called there. There's this book that has pages
Speaker 1: in it and it's just called science, and everything in
Speaker 1: that book is true, and anyone who questions it doesn't
Speaker 1: know what they're talking about. And this is why. One
Speaker 1: of the reasons why I get so angry about the
Speaker 1: whole social media thing, because what we see is that
Speaker 1: with social media, they ban people based on what the
Speaker 1: consensus opinion is at any point in time on things
Speaker 1: that have to do with public policy. Now we're not
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, threats of violence, We're not talking
Speaker 1: about anything like that, on things that are supposed to
Speaker 1: be or that should be open to debate and discussion
Speaker 1: if the consensus at one point and remember there is
Speaker 1: no such thing as a pure scientific consensus on so
Speaker 1: many of these questions. Here's an example. I take people
Speaker 1: through this process. I do this all the time that
Speaker 1: they'll say, oh, but you don't believe this or you
Speaker 1: don't believe that, And I say, okay, well, hold on
Speaker 1: a second, it's about science, right, How effective or masks?
Speaker 1: I'll ask that question and don't say very or kind
Speaker 1: of or perfect or anything like that. Perfectly how effective
Speaker 1: or masks? And I never get it. I said, well
Speaker 1: that's not I mean, it's not science to say I
Speaker 1: think they work really well, but you know, we don't know, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: Now remember people would say, well they wear them at
Speaker 1: a clinical setting. Everything go, well, yeah, there's a whole
Speaker 1: bunch we all know that there's spittle that can come
Speaker 1: out of people's mouths if you're up close to somebody
Speaker 1: in a hospital setting. You know, in a clinical setting,
Speaker 1: you you want to prevent just the additional exchange of
Speaker 1: germs in that limited space. And they also change the masks,
Speaker 1: and they wear them the whole time, and they have
Speaker 1: training and what to do, and they're also wearing N
Speaker 1: ninety five masks if they're so all of that is
Speaker 1: going into this. But when I just asked a question,
Speaker 1: they say it's a matter of science, and I say, okay,
Speaker 1: show me the data. You know what they do They
Speaker 1: show you, oh, well, this is what we ran some
Speaker 1: experiment where we did this thing, and we think it
Speaker 1: kind of mimics the situation. It's the same thing with
Speaker 1: treating models, as though it's science. Models are a projection
Speaker 1: based upon data. They can be pretty accurate, very accurate,
Speaker 1: or not accurate at all. They can be completely wrong
Speaker 1: and you don't know because it's a projection about the future.
Speaker 1: This is the same problem we run into with climate
Speaker 1: change stuff. All of our decision making around climate change
Speaker 1: is based on the faulty Yes, there's this, I understand
Speaker 1: the theory about co two in the air creating a
Speaker 1: warming effect. Although now they say it's climate change, but
Speaker 1: I think they're going back to it's warming, but maybe
Speaker 1: it'll just be climate change again. But it's all based
Speaker 1: on models. And ask anybody who relies on models to
Speaker 1: predict the stock market or even an individual stock And
Speaker 1: that's where people have a lot of resources to put
Speaker 1: into it, and being right matters. They still get it wrong.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. That's not science, that's prediction.
Speaker 1: Prediction is not science. And that's why when they say
Speaker 1: things like listen, are the science if you wear masks,
Speaker 1: they'll say, fifty thousand lives according to experts. Really, how
Speaker 1: can we ever check that, How could we ever say,
Speaker 1: you know what, it turns out those guys were wrong.
Speaker 1: You can't. You're not gonna save You're not gonna save
Speaker 1: fifty thousand lives. You only saved, you know, five hundred
Speaker 1: lives or five thousand lives or maybe whatever it may.
Speaker 1: It doesn't. The point is, this is just a statistic
Speaker 1: they're throwing out there. They're saying it would something would
Speaker 1: happen unless you do what we tell you to do now,
Speaker 1: and then you'll never know if that thing even happened
Speaker 1: or not right, you can you can't. You're trying to
Speaker 1: prove something that can't really be proven. But that's what
Speaker 1: they offer you, a science and data. This is why
Speaker 1: they're so insistent, this is why they're sore, they're so
Speaker 1: devoted to this. Just it just drives me nuts. I
Speaker 1: see they're just they're saying things that are wrong. They're
Speaker 1: making assertions that and I'm not saying that I understand
Speaker 1: the science or have some scignedific I don't have to.
Speaker 1: It's about argument, it's about fallacy, reason, logic. Those are
Speaker 1: the things that I'm applying here. I don't pretend another
Speaker 1: signs there is the same reason why I tell people that,
Speaker 1: based on the data you've seen, if you're at a
Speaker 1: high risk, I think the vaccine is probably a very
Speaker 1: good idea. My own loved ones and family members, I
Speaker 1: advocate for them to get the vaccine who are at risk.
Speaker 1: But do I think that, you know, young people who
Speaker 1: had very low risk should get it. I think it's
Speaker 1: up to them, right, And when I say young, I
Speaker 1: mean I'm talking about under under sixty. So doctor Fauci
Speaker 1: though here with his big grin and his you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: now I'm all good that the oh god, the hydroxy
Speaker 1: chloric would in the whole thing. I mean, okay, there
Speaker 1: was there was a time when people were thinking that
Speaker 1: maybe hydroxy chloricum would provide some degree of protection against this,
Speaker 1: and and it turned out that we weren't actually really
Speaker 1: able to do. I mean, I haven't seen any clinical
Speaker 1: trials or studies of this. Some places initially were producing
Speaker 1: data saying they thought that it worked. Other places were
Speaker 1: producing data saying it didn't work at all. But then
Speaker 1: there was it became a political issue because Trump talked
Speaker 1: about it. It shouldn't be political at all. It should
Speaker 1: be very straightforward. They should have just run a control
Speaker 1: a controlled trial, give you know, give a thousand people.
Speaker 1: You know, because you take hydroxy chloricin for malaria overseas,
Speaker 1: but it's very common use as people take it for
Speaker 1: a for a lupus, I think for rheumatoid arthritis as well.
Speaker 1: They should have run an actual trial, actual science, and
Speaker 1: then prove it and that would have been it. But
Speaker 1: instead it became a political issue. Instead it became oh
Speaker 1: Trump said it, so it must be it must be wrong,
Speaker 1: and him saying that he can speak without fear of repercussions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a lie too, Fouch. Why doesn't he go on
Speaker 1: tea and say there is no there is no strong
Speaker 1: evidence to indicate that you should we should wear a
Speaker 1: mask outside in fresh air if you're not in a crowd.
Speaker 1: Why can't you just say that? Does anybody want to
Speaker 1: try to prove that that's an incorrect statement? I would
Speaker 1: love to see that data. The biggest transmission studies they've
Speaker 1: done on outdoor transmission show you know, maybe maybe one
Speaker 1: in four thousand cases I think was what China showed,
Speaker 1: or one in four hundred cases might involve outdoor transmission.
Speaker 1: Maybe so, But so we have to mask up because
Speaker 1: it's outside. You know, at what point is it unreasonable
Speaker 1: to ask this? People mask up alone in their cars,
Speaker 1: They're being told in some places to mask up when
Speaker 1: they're at home in their own homes. When does it
Speaker 1: become unreasonable? Let's establish that what that line and the
Speaker 1: people that are telling you to worry so much about
Speaker 1: this is. We remember just from from before we're in
Speaker 1: the show with Jensaki answering the question about Joe Biden
Speaker 1: and his family. The people who are telling you to
Speaker 1: be the most concerned about this are people who, let's
Speaker 1: be real, they don't care that much when you're not looking, well,
Speaker 1: you're not paying attention. They think that they should be
Speaker 1: able to get away with not asking. They think that
Speaker 1: they should be in a position to, you know, not
Speaker 1: have to worry about it. And you say, well, hold on,
Speaker 1: I thought this was about the science and saving us
Speaker 1: and doing all this stuff. Nah, turns out that's that's
Speaker 1: not the case. Well, I mean they'll say that. I mean,
Speaker 1: they might feel that way, but for as individuals, they
Speaker 1: have a very a very different view of all of this.
Speaker 1: So oh, and then there's there's something else that I
Speaker 1: wanted to wanted to talk to you about with with Fauci.
Speaker 1: The Democrats are telling a great, big fat lie about
Speaker 1: vaccination programs right now around COVID nineteen, and we should
Speaker 1: address that lie. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We certainly are
Speaker 1: not starting from scratch, because there is activity going on
Speaker 1: in the distribution. But if you look at the plan
Speaker 1: that the President has put forth about the things that
Speaker 1: he is going to do, namely, get community vaccine centers up,
Speaker 1: get pharmacies more involved where appropriate, get the defense production
Speaker 1: act involved not only perhaps with getting more vaccine, but
Speaker 1: even the things you need to get a good vaccine program,
Speaker 1: for example, needles and syringes that might be more useful
Speaker 1: in that. So it's taking what's going on but amplifying
Speaker 1: it in a big way and center What was much
Speaker 1: was essentially is there anything actionable that you are taking
Speaker 1: from the previous administration? Well, your efforts to get the vaccine?
Speaker 1: I mean that's the question. Though. We're coming in with
Speaker 1: fresh ideas, but also some ideas that were not bad
Speaker 1: ideas with the with the with the previous administration, you
Speaker 1: can't say it was absolutely not usable at all. So
Speaker 1: we are continuing, but you're going to see a real
Speaker 1: ramping up the bit. No good deed goes unpunished. Look
Speaker 1: at the way and this was this was completely predictable,
Speaker 1: and I and many others predicted this. I'm sure you
Speaker 1: did too. That the miracle of the Operation Warp Speed
Speaker 1: program that helped to push Big Pharma to use their
Speaker 1: research capabilities to create a vaccine in truly world record time.
Speaker 1: That mirror that's now forgotten. No one even talks about
Speaker 1: the miracle of Operation Warp Speed. They won't even refer
Speaker 1: to that. No, Instead you have Democrat the media immediately
Speaker 1: pushing this lie that there was no vaccination program at
Speaker 1: Trump It was all in disarray. They didn't think this through,
Speaker 1: there was no strategy. Meanwhile, if you actually, as I have,
Speaker 1: have been following what's gone on with the COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: vaccination across the country, you know what you find out
Speaker 1: States and cities are completely screwing this up and not
Speaker 1: able to get into people's arms fast enough. Some states
Speaker 1: are better than others. You'd much rather be a resident
Speaker 1: of Florida trying to get this than a resident of
Speaker 1: New York, tell you that much. You'd much rather, by
Speaker 1: the numbers, be a resident of West Virginia than a
Speaker 1: resident of New Jersey. You see how this has been
Speaker 1: rolled out and where it has been effective. It is
Speaker 1: the federal government gave the vaccine to the states. The
Speaker 1: states because they have the same way the states have
Speaker 1: police power. States have a lot of health regulatory and
Speaker 1: enforcement power, as you know. That's why they're shutting down
Speaker 1: all the businesses and telling everybody that you're not allowed
Speaker 1: to do anything anymore because of you know, this aerosolis
Speaker 1: virus that we're all supposed to live in constant terror
Speaker 1: of Yeah, the States messed this thing up, but they
Speaker 1: blamed Trump, they blamed Trump. But now it's even Fauci
Speaker 1: knows that this is an indefence, it's an indefensibly obvious
Speaker 1: lie that that's the real problem with it. It is
Speaker 1: a clear lie to say that there was no plan here, right,
Speaker 1: It could not be more obvious when you say that,
Speaker 1: because we've already been distributing about a million vaccinations a
Speaker 1: day in this country, roughly a million. Do you know
Speaker 1: what the Biden plan for a hundred days of Renewal
Speaker 1: of America, whatever the slogan is today, they want to
Speaker 1: get to one hundred million vaccinations. Well, guess what, We're
Speaker 1: already at a million vaccinations a day. So the Biden
Speaker 1: plan is essentially an admission that the fastest they're going
Speaker 1: to get this thing rolled out is about as fast
Speaker 1: as it's already going. Are you gonna hear the media
Speaker 1: say that anywhere you're gonna you're gonna hear that. No,
Speaker 1: no you're not. Instead, they take it in in the
Speaker 1: opposite direction and they tell you the great big lie,
Speaker 1: which is what it is, that there was no vaccination
Speaker 1: plan from the Trump administration. Just not true. Just I mean,
Speaker 1: flatly obviously not true. But remember you're still gonna have
Speaker 1: You're gonna have Biden out there telling everybody that that
Speaker 1: this is all that's their favorite thing. It's a patriotic act.
Speaker 1: Now play fifteen. The brutal truth is it's going to
Speaker 1: take months before we can get the majority of America
Speaker 1: is vaccinating. So while we increase vaccinations, we're going to
Speaker 1: take steps necessary now to slow the spread of the
Speaker 1: disease as well. One of our one hundred day challenges
Speaker 1: is asking the American people to mask up for the
Speaker 1: first one hundred days. The next ninety nine days to
Speaker 1: mask can become a partisan issue on forceline, but it's
Speaker 1: a patriotic act. But for a few months, to wear
Speaker 1: a mask, no vaccines. The fact is that the single
Speaker 1: best thing we can do. They're even more important than
Speaker 1: the vaccines because they take time to work. And if
Speaker 1: we do this as Americans, the experts say by wearing
Speaker 1: a mask from now until April, we'd save more than
Speaker 1: fifty thousand lives going forward, fifty thousand lives. And people
Speaker 1: who believe this just honestly at this point aren't able
Speaker 1: to think for themselves. I mean, would this projection fifty
Speaker 1: thous look at the IHM models over time and see
Speaker 1: what their projections have been and how wildly off they've been.
Speaker 1: Those supposed to be the gold standard of modeling this
Speaker 1: virus for hospitalizations and fatalities off by huge numbers all along,
Speaker 1: and it over short, short timeframes. Does Joe Biden not
Speaker 1: know that we've been in lockdowns and wearing masks four months?
Speaker 1: Is he unaware of this? Are these idiots that keep
Speaker 1: saying this? They do they really think that we're not
Speaker 1: You know, you got all the major metropolitan areas of
Speaker 1: the country masked up, all of them. California's have had
Speaker 1: an all time high of cases and hospitalizations, been through
Speaker 1: its worst ever wave, and they were like mask masking
Speaker 1: Central for months and months. They were patting themselves on
Speaker 1: the back of the summer. Look see we're not like
Speaker 1: those dumb Republicans and Trump voters. We mask up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how's that going in California? We're already doing this thing
Speaker 1: they're telling us to do. But they have this this fixation,
Speaker 1: this obsession, was just repeating it like that's some great strategy.

Speaker 1: Wealth tex A two cent tax on the top one
Speaker 1: tenth of one percent in this country. And I'll tell
Speaker 1: you why. It's not only about putting just a modest
Speaker 1: tax on these giant fortunes. It's about the revenue that
Speaker 1: produces then to build opportunity throughout our economy. A wealth tax.
Speaker 1: He knew that there were some things that we could
Speaker 1: all see coming. There were some things that you know,
Speaker 1: we knew we're likely to happen here, and that's if
Speaker 1: a Democrat one, which we know now that's we got
Speaker 1: Joe Biden as president. And here's one of a wealth tax. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to cry any any tears for the
Speaker 1: whatever she said, one tenth of one percent tour the
Speaker 1: one one hundredth of one percent paying higher taxes, but
Speaker 1: just to remember that the way that they do this
Speaker 1: is they start with that and then it's going to
Speaker 1: expand that's the problem. Then they're going to take more
Speaker 1: of your money. And Republicans are on very shaky ground
Speaker 1: here because and if you've been a listener of this show,
Speaker 1: for a few years now, you know, I would sometimes
Speaker 1: do these little segments that say, hey, guys, do we
Speaker 1: want to talk about the national debt right now? Do
Speaker 1: we want to have that discussion? I don't think so,
Speaker 1: but I'm just telling you right now, basically, at twenty
Speaker 1: seven point eight trillion dollars US national debt twenty seven
Speaker 1: point eight trilli, we're gonna be at thirty trillion national
Speaker 1: debt here pretty soon. That seems like a lot of
Speaker 1: money to me. I don't know, I mean, and call
Speaker 1: me crazy. Nobody wanted to hear it. We have now
Speaker 1: entered a political reality, and an evenho tells you otherwise,
Speaker 1: it's not being straight with you. We've entered a political
Speaker 1: reality where my team spending money the way it wants to, well,
Speaker 1: beyond what we're taking in in taxes in any given year.
Speaker 1: My team doing that is good. The other team doing
Speaker 1: that is bad. Now, that may be true in a
Speaker 1: very general sense, right, we might spend money better and
Speaker 1: more more efficiently than the Democrats do. Right. That may
Speaker 1: be the case, But we also then don't have some
Speaker 1: ground to We don't have the ground to stand on
Speaker 1: to say, well, in general, spending beyond your means as
Speaker 1: a government is a bad idea or spending beyond what
Speaker 1: you take in, and that the debt is a long
Speaker 1: term problem for our country and for where we're going, right,
Speaker 1: That's that's a very hard argument for us to make
Speaker 1: these days, very hard because look at what we've done,
Speaker 1: look at the reality of what we have been doing.
Speaker 1: We've been spending too much money. And now the Democrats
Speaker 1: are gonna do They're gonna blow the hinges off the
Speaker 1: door of spending. Man, They're gonna raise the roof and
Speaker 1: party it up. Spending, spending, spending. We all understand that
Speaker 1: this then creates additional drag on the economy because you
Speaker 1: have to service the debt that you're running, and debt
Speaker 1: service crowds out other private spending. You know this, This
Speaker 1: starts to slow down our economy. Look at what happens
Speaker 1: in European countries when the debt becomes too big as
Speaker 1: a share of GDP. This is not good. But it's
Speaker 1: wa wa wa wa wamwam. It's Charlie Brown mom stuff right.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to hear it. Oh yeah, whatever, I'm not
Speaker 1: spending too much in the debt. Haven't come out thirty
Speaker 1: trillion potato potato. That's kind of the attitude. And that's
Speaker 1: why the Elizabeth Warren progressive wing of the Democrat Party
Speaker 1: is gonna come along and they're gonna they're gonna rinse
Speaker 1: the rich. That's gonna be the idea. I just hope
Speaker 1: that if they do this, they really go after actual
Speaker 1: rich people. Know they have your actual rich people. What
Speaker 1: I hate is when they say the rich have to
Speaker 1: pay more, and then you figure out, we'll hold on
Speaker 1: a second. You know, if you got a state trooper
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and and a senior nurse practitioner,
Speaker 1: you know, we're married, living together. You know, household income
Speaker 1: state trooper with OT, I know it varies a lot
Speaker 1: state to state, but in like New York, state nurse
Speaker 1: practitioner is gonna make close to six figures. A state
Speaker 1: trooper with some OT probably make about one twenty one thirty.
Speaker 1: So when they say, oh, if you make over, if
Speaker 1: you have a household income of two hundred grand, let's say,
Speaker 1: oh you're rich. You're not rich. Okay, I mean you're
Speaker 1: doing well and you know, life is life is pretty good,
Speaker 1: but you're not rich. Oh, if you make more than
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. You're you
Speaker 1: got to you gotta tax the you know what out
Speaker 1: of you that's you're not rich. You want to go
Speaker 1: after the bezosis. But the problem is they always set
Speaker 1: this stuff up and then what you find out is
Speaker 1: that they're actually they know, the real money, the real
Speaker 1: you know, the real squeeze for the juice is in
Speaker 1: the much larger bulge of people that are making you know,
Speaker 1: one hundred grand, one hundred and fifty grand all across.
Speaker 1: You don't want to take money, take a lot of
Speaker 1: money at it from them. There's so many more of them,
Speaker 1: so that the impetus is always to just raise taxes
Speaker 1: more broadly than they say they're going to. And by
Speaker 1: starting with a wealth tax, this creates all kinds of
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of implementation problems for this too. Okay,
Speaker 1: what if somebody's wealth is, you know, an overwhelming portion
Speaker 1: of their wealth is wrapped up in a private leone corporation.
Speaker 1: Now do they have to sell stock to pay the government?
Speaker 1: Is that is that the way they're going to do this?
Speaker 1: You have you have liquidity issues that come up here. Well,
Speaker 1: if they give an assessment of your worth. Is that
Speaker 1: really what you're worth? I mean, we're talking about the
Speaker 1: kind of if you're talking about ultra wealthy people. It's
Speaker 1: not as simple as you know, there's a billion dollars
Speaker 1: sitting in a bank account. Let's just take two percent
Speaker 1: out of that as a little you know, thank you
Speaker 1: uncle Sam tip. So how do they do it? It's
Speaker 1: not a straightforward and they've done this. I would just
Speaker 1: note they've done this in Europe. They have done a
Speaker 1: wealth ax in Europe. And it never works out the
Speaker 1: way that they think it will. People evade it, they leave,
Speaker 1: they flee, and they it never gets the amount of
Speaker 1: revenue they think it will. People hide their assets, or
Speaker 1: they move their assets, or they're wealthy because they have
Speaker 1: the both the resources to be creative about getting around
Speaker 1: this and a high level of motivation to get around this.
Speaker 1: They do. I'll never forget Girard deep out You. Girard
Speaker 1: producer Mark, have you ever seen a Girard deep out
Speaker 1: You movie? No? So he's like very French in case
Speaker 1: you didn't pick up on that, And he he was.
Speaker 1: He was in my daughter's wedding. I think he's called
Speaker 1: he Many. He was a big French Acte in the
Speaker 1: nineties and the eighties. He's very, very rich guy in France.
Speaker 1: And I think he got Russian citizenship when they passed
Speaker 1: the wealth tax, if I remember correctly, because the Russians
Speaker 1: have a flat tax. So he's like, Okay, this was fun.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be a Russian citizen. See you
Speaker 1: guys later. And he probably lives in Monaco for you know,
Speaker 1: half the year or something. Right, But this is what
Speaker 1: people do. They say, all right, bad enough, thanks a lot,
Speaker 1: see you later, so they don't end up paying the
Speaker 1: way they say they're gonna pay. And now, and now
Speaker 1: I got another topic I gotta get to here, the
Speaker 1: minimum wage. Joe Biden as part of those they're pushing
Speaker 1: for a fifteen dollar minimum wage. And this is always
Speaker 1: this debate always turns into the elevation of emotion and
Speaker 1: feeling over fact. That's what ends up happening here. This
Speaker 1: turns into I am somebody who have I've been underpaid
Speaker 1: in jobs. I've certainly been underappreciated in jobs. I've done
Speaker 1: menial tasks for small amounts of money, you know, just
Speaker 1: trying to scrape together stuff so that I can pay
Speaker 1: my bills. I know, what that's like. And I'm also
Speaker 1: somebody who I really believe strongly in tipping well and
Speaker 1: and appreciating, appreciating people for doing a job with you know,
Speaker 1: with integrity and professionalism. Whether it's you know, washing dishes
Speaker 1: in the back of the Chinese restaurant, or it's you
Speaker 1: name it right, or it's the guy that's bringing you
Speaker 1: your ups package, whatever it is. I want people to
Speaker 1: get a good wage for good work always. And and
Speaker 1: that's that's a really that's a deep seated feeling, right
Speaker 1: I know. And I'm sure you feel the same way,
Speaker 1: you know, And and I really appreciate when people do
Speaker 1: a job with pride better than they have to for
Speaker 1: the job to just get done. You know. This is
Speaker 1: why you really appreciate when you when you go into
Speaker 1: a store and and somebody you know, welcomes you, offers
Speaker 1: to help you, makes you you know, doesn't doesn't pressure you,
Speaker 1: makes you feel at a home there. Please come back
Speaker 1: if you don't see anything you like today, really, you know,
Speaker 1: great to have you come in. You know they don't
Speaker 1: have they can sit there, Yeah, buy whatever you want, right.
Speaker 1: I don't know why the fauci is the store clerk
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, But so I get the I
Speaker 1: get the impulse for this. We and we've I'm sure
Speaker 1: those of you listening, all of you have probably had
Speaker 1: some job where you go, this stinks, and you know
Speaker 1: you make producer. Mark, You told me you scooped ice
Speaker 1: cream once, right, Yes they did. Yeah, you're an ice
Speaker 1: cream scooper, you know. I remember my mom and her sister,
Speaker 1: my aunt telling me that they did that at one
Speaker 1: point or over the summer and that that's actually pretty
Speaker 1: labor intensive. Yeah, it's a lot more physical work than
Speaker 1: you would expect. Yeah, was what was your hardest What
Speaker 1: would you say, is that your lowest pay, highest output
Speaker 1: job you've had? That was definitely that, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. I worked as a counselor in training over
Speaker 1: the summer because I was technically one year below the
Speaker 1: age to be an actual paid counselor. And this was
Speaker 1: such a scam, but it was great. It was like
Speaker 1: having interns at a summer camp, and I did the
Speaker 1: whole the whole summer. I spent in the hot sun
Speaker 1: pulling around like all the equipment for the campers. Like
Speaker 1: I actually was carrying big bags of you know, baseball
Speaker 1: bats and and you know, the stuff to make the
Speaker 1: soccer nets with. And I was making peanut butter and
Speaker 1: jelly sandwiches by the hundreds and hundreds. I mean I
Speaker 1: was there with little gloves on making peanut butter and jelly.
Speaker 1: I got paid for that eight weeks of work. I
Speaker 1: think I got a check for two hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 1: And so, I mean, I'm sure that that violates some
Speaker 1: kind of labor law. I didn't know anybody. I was
Speaker 1: like fourteen or fifteen. I think you had to be
Speaker 1: sixteen to be a counselor sure that it violated. Later,
Speaker 1: the worst job I've ever had by far, by far
Speaker 1: at a camp in Westchester in New York and New
Speaker 1: York State, and I was making oh my gosh, making
Speaker 1: those I remember, I just remember this. That's I hate
Speaker 1: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I'm pretty sure as a result,
Speaker 1: even with gluten free bread, I like jelly, and I
Speaker 1: like peanut butter, but I hate peanut butter and jelly
Speaker 1: sandwiches because I just always go back to being in
Speaker 1: this this cold, dark food storage basement just making like
Speaker 1: two hundred peb and j's, you know, and I'll say
Speaker 1: tuna fish too. Another. I used to love tuna fish
Speaker 1: as a kid, tuna fish sandwiches, and to make tuna sandwiches,
Speaker 1: and oh, when you've made enough tunas, I just can't
Speaker 1: even I can't even do it. I can't even do it.
Speaker 1: I think if I were starving on a desert island
Speaker 1: and someone handed me at peanut butter and jelly sandwich,
Speaker 1: I'd hand it back to them and say, I just
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. So anyway, that was the worst job I
Speaker 1: ever had, because I was working hard, unappreciated, treated poorly,
Speaker 1: and and you're asking Buck, why did you do this?
Speaker 1: I didn't end up even going back to me. I
Speaker 1: hated it so much I didn't even The whole point
Speaker 1: is you did this because it was very competitive to
Speaker 1: get a counselor job. You kind of had to like,
Speaker 1: know somebody. The counselor's made, you know, three or four
Speaker 1: hundred bucks a week and you get to just take
Speaker 1: the kids out to play soccer, or is summer camp
Speaker 1: and it's a day camp. So that I wanted to
Speaker 1: do that, but I figured, oh, I I'll be a
Speaker 1: counselor in training. Worst job I've ever had. Worst summer
Speaker 1: maybe of my life anyway, but that was so I
Speaker 1: know what it is to do things that say I'm
Speaker 1: not really making any money, and the whole thing, the
Speaker 1: whole thing sucked. So I want people to make more money.
Speaker 1: Let me come back and tell you in a second
Speaker 1: here why the fifteen dollars minimum wage isn't what they're
Speaker 1: telling you it's going to be. This is the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Speaker 1: Fifteen dollars minimum wage. Okay, that's that's where we are here.
Speaker 1: And you know, Biden's executive order take steps to require
Speaker 1: federal contractors to pay fifteen dollars minimum wage, and he
Speaker 1: want they want this nationwide. They want to go to
Speaker 1: the full fifteen dollar minum, which, okay, let's talk about this.
Speaker 1: The current minimum wage is seven dollars and I'm sorry
Speaker 1: it's there. It's state by state. The federal minimum wage
Speaker 1: is seven dollars and twenty five cents. Almost no state
Speaker 1: right now has that as their minimum. So, so just
Speaker 1: understand that the debate is already skewed by the fact
Speaker 1: that the federal minimum wage is below what you have
Speaker 1: in a lot of places. Okay, in California, it is
Speaker 1: currently thirteen dollars an hour, Nevada nine dollars an hour,
Speaker 1: Oregon twelve dollars an hour, Washington thirteen sixty nine, Washington
Speaker 1: State thirteen sixty nine an hour, New York State twelve
Speaker 1: fifty an hour, Maine twelve fifteen an hour. Florida, Well,
Speaker 1: Florida's eight sixty five an Hour's Florida's not quite a sigh. Um.
Speaker 1: Texas at seven to twenty five federal minimum wage right,
Speaker 1: Virginia seven twenty five. Um. So that's you know this,
Speaker 1: this is it's really a much more complicated issue. But
Speaker 1: here's here's what ends up happening. Well, we all sit
Speaker 1: around and I said to you, I really believe very
Speaker 1: strongly in in people being able to get you know,
Speaker 1: good pay for good work. I really do. And I've
Speaker 1: I've been mistreated, underappreciated. I remember I used to tutor
Speaker 1: kids when I was in high school and something, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of times the parents were like, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't have your money today, and I was like, uh, okay,
Speaker 1: I mean that's not really nice. So I know what
Speaker 1: it's like to be in situations where you just feel
Speaker 1: like what is this all about um? And? And I've
Speaker 1: worked for the government. I worked the my I did
Speaker 1: not make very much money at all work with the
Speaker 1: NYPD because I was actually the The actual cops had better,
Speaker 1: a much better deal than we did. Because I wasn't
Speaker 1: part of the union. I was a contractor for the
Speaker 1: City of New York, which was not good. I had
Speaker 1: crap health absolute crap healthcare. I mean, I'd go see
Speaker 1: doctors who are like, hello, like, does your neck have pain?
Speaker 1: Perhaps we should do it next day. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: here for you to look at my toe, like what
Speaker 1: are we what are we doing here? Producer Mark, you
Speaker 1: realize I went to see doctor Nick. Yes, that's exactly
Speaker 1: what I thought of when you did that. Yeah, it's like, hello, Buck,
Speaker 1: we are looking at your neck. To'll do it? Maybe
Speaker 1: a lawsuit. I'm like, doctor Nick, this is the only
Speaker 1: doctor I could come see. It took me a month
Speaker 1: to get the appointment. That's not good. So anyway, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm somebody who understands it. The problem here, and I
Speaker 1: know I'm sort of back back ending all this. The
Speaker 1: problem is minimum wage at fifteen dollars an hour is
Speaker 1: gonna cost millions of jobs. There is an actual correlation
Speaker 1: between the value of labor and what you can pay people.
Speaker 1: That's why you can't make the minimum wage one hundred
Speaker 1: dollars an hour. You can't pay it. And a lot
Speaker 1: of jobs are gonna go away at a fifteen dollars
Speaker 1: now minimum wage. All right, a lot of jobs, a
Speaker 1: lot of hours will be cut back at a fifteen
Speaker 1: dollars minimum wage, which is that has the same effect
Speaker 1: for people. So now businesses get less productivity and people
Speaker 1: get less paid. It's not good. It's not good. So,
Speaker 1: as I was saying, the states have different minimum wages,
Speaker 1: a lot of them are already over ten dollars an hour.
Speaker 1: So the federal minimum wage is just one of many
Speaker 1: different ways that this goes into effect. And the laws
Speaker 1: of supply demand, the law of the or the economic
Speaker 1: realities of the value of labor do not change. Because
Speaker 1: people like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: you know, wave their hand and say I'm sorry, Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden Trump did not do this. I wave their
Speaker 1: hand and say, yeah, the federal minum wage should be higher.
Speaker 1: That said, it's probably gonna get raised fifteen dollars an
Speaker 1: hour folks. You know why, because it feels good. That's
Speaker 1: what happens. We all say, wow, I want everybody to
Speaker 1: make at least fifteen dollars an you know what, I
Speaker 1: do want everyone to do that. But that's not what's
Speaker 1: going to happen. But because we want that, that's the
Speaker 1: policy that will end up going through here. I think
Speaker 1: that's where we're heading. You're listening to the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on
Speaker 1: the iHeart radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: I think the president is off to a very good
Speaker 1: stought and what I liked about his inaugural remarks and
Speaker 1: the general tone of his administration is he recognizes that
Speaker 1: this country faces a set of unprecedented crises, from the
Speaker 1: pandemic to the economy, to the very threats against democracy,
Speaker 1: to climate change, to income and wealth inequality. I think
Speaker 1: he understands that, and I think if we can give
Speaker 1: them the support that he needs in Congress, he can,
Speaker 1: in fact be an extremely progressive president addressing the crises
Speaker 1: facing working for your families, he can be a progressive candidate.
Speaker 1: I think he is going to be. You know, right now,
Speaker 1: they're just gearing up for all of this, but down
Speaker 1: the line, I think the plan is going to be
Speaker 1: for them increasingly to push Biden. I remember, Biden's just
Speaker 1: the guy who's going to be signing stuff. The Democrats
Speaker 1: are the ones that are that are going forward with
Speaker 1: the legislation. I gotta say, did you, uh bruser Mark,
Speaker 1: did you see the Bernie Mittens memes? Of course they're
Speaker 1: everywhere and they are hilarious. They are amazing. I will
Speaker 1: say it's for some reason, the Bernie with the mascot
Speaker 1: and the Mittens. Uh. You know, there's there's a lot
Speaker 1: of them out there. They're they're they're very good. Um.
Speaker 1: I am enjoying them. He was at the inauguration. For
Speaker 1: those of you haven't seen them. He isn't everything. Oh man,
Speaker 1: there's so many of them all like I can't. It's
Speaker 1: one of these things where I wish I could. Describing
Speaker 1: them doesn't really doesn't really get it done. I did
Speaker 1: like the one though, where somebody put a cheesehead and
Speaker 1: a Green Bay Packers blanket over him, because it's like
Speaker 1: our conversation about how you're if you go to a
Speaker 1: football game. There's no such thing as enough clothing at
Speaker 1: a cold football game to keep you warm, you know,
Speaker 1: but he looked like he was dressed for a football
Speaker 1: game without any jersey or anything. I mean, there's there's
Speaker 1: like one I see where he's Bernie Sanders has the mittie.
Speaker 1: So he's got his knee crossed, his little blue mask on,
Speaker 1: his sort of ski parket jacket, sitting inauguration. He's got
Speaker 1: these mittens on his hands. They got one of him
Speaker 1: sitting on a ledge next to Deadpool. They have him
Speaker 1: as brand in Game of Thrones, surrounded by the other Starks.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bernie Sanders memes are great, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, look the burn. Yeah, he's a socialist and
Speaker 1: you know what, he ruined the country if he were
Speaker 1: in charge, probably, But Bernie's mitten's everybody you got it?
Speaker 1: Are you a mitten guy or a glove guy? Usually
Speaker 1: a glove guy, but usually nothing. To be honest, I've
Speaker 1: heard that mittens are actually mittens can be warmer than gloves. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. That's a thing that people have told me.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say I like it. I like where.
Speaker 1: I like where the heads that are probably harder to
Speaker 1: use your hands though, yeah, it is probably harder to
Speaker 1: use the hands, so um, you know, I'm I'm I'm
Speaker 1: a glove guy. One trick that I learned is if
Speaker 1: you have to have dexterity in your fingers. I remember
Speaker 1: during I was doing long gun training at the CIA,
Speaker 1: so we had all these different you know, M fours
Speaker 1: and aks and all kinds of stuff, and my ad
Speaker 1: was out. It was all outdoor range stuff and my
Speaker 1: hands were absolutely freezing and I didn't want to. I
Speaker 1: didn't have like real shooter gloves or anything, but even
Speaker 1: just a rubber glove on your hand. Well really, it's true.
Speaker 1: If you're out fishing and you need the dexterity to
Speaker 1: go fly fishing too, wear rubber. If you have rubber
Speaker 1: gloves on your hands, it does take some of the bites,
Speaker 1: some of the chill out of things. So fun, fun tip,
Speaker 1: fun fact, but you know what, you know what I
Speaker 1: find mark. One of my one of the favorite tips
Speaker 1: I've giving people in the show is the seasoning and
Speaker 1: the um and the basting of the burger or sandwich
Speaker 1: bun with oil, salt and pepper. That's like life changing
Speaker 1: for people. I keep fighting out. That is a really
Speaker 1: good tip. I never thought of it. Have you tried
Speaker 1: it yet I have. It's delicious, It's great. Right there
Speaker 1: we go another look. Even producer Mark a satisfied customer,
Speaker 1: so glad to see that. So Mark, you pulled a
Speaker 1: you pulled a clip of of Chuck Schumer that I
Speaker 1: didn't know about this one before the show, but you
Speaker 1: said that I was gonna like it. So you want
Speaker 1: to just fire that one off. Make no mistake, there
Speaker 1: will be a trial, and when that trial ends, senators
Speaker 1: will have to decide if they believe Donald John Donald
Speaker 1: John Trump incited the erection insurrection. I like that one.
Speaker 1: I met Trump like that one too. Did Donald John
Speaker 1: Trump incite the erection? Oh? Man? You know that's always
Speaker 1: with all the live radio and TV and stuthing I do. Man,
Speaker 1: that's your worst fear is that you just you're just
Speaker 1: gonna say something, you know, uh, you know that you
Speaker 1: say something that's just gonna come out the wrong way
Speaker 1: like that, and there's no you know, there's no there's
Speaker 1: no taking it back, there's no taking it back. So
Speaker 1: I can see the clip. You can see on his
Speaker 1: face he was like, oh no, oh yeah, that did.
Speaker 1: That's that's instantaneous virality and vitality. Uh, that's that's definitely
Speaker 1: woman's gonna get the attention from the folks out there. So, oh, man,
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, I think that you know that I was
Speaker 1: a little bit worried that I was a little bit
Speaker 1: worried that at any post Trump era, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: so much, so much of a of a letdown because
Speaker 1: politics would be so much more boring. But no, then
Speaker 1: I remember that the Democrats are are a bunch of bozos,
Speaker 1: and that means that they're going to do all kinds
Speaker 1: of unintentionally funny things. And now we get to focus
Speaker 1: on I mean, remember, the media has tried to convince
Speaker 1: you because they didn't want a him to think your
Speaker 1: cognitive decline and all these other things. The media has
Speaker 1: been trying to convince you all along here that Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: or you're supposed to forget that Joe Biden is a
Speaker 1: gaff machine. I mean, Joe Biden says stuff that you
Speaker 1: just think to yourself, I don't even understand how anybody
Speaker 1: who's supposed to be in public office would say such
Speaker 1: things shooting, I suffer depressure, ser batic kept current shubberber.
Speaker 1: You know, thank you, producer Mark on the ball that
Speaker 1: I gotta say, he's ready, ready to go, ready with
Speaker 1: those drops. What is your favorite? My favorite? Discover urberfage
Speaker 1: depressure because he's really you know, he's like really laying
Speaker 1: into it. You know, it's just you just had you
Speaker 1: just had some scrambled eggs upstairs there for a moment
Speaker 1: and then scrabber. That's the most confident one he's ever
Speaker 1: been Suffage depressure. Yeah, that's one where you could tell
Speaker 1: that he'd look at you afterwards and be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I just said. That thing that I
Speaker 1: just said. You're like, oh, okay, buddy, okay, but don't worry.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have CNN out there with Donna Bash, Donna
Speaker 1: Bash telling everybody that the adults are back in the room.
Speaker 1: Play nine. If you take what you just saw and
Speaker 1: heard in totality, anybody who has any um connection to
Speaker 1: reality about what is going on around them should have
Speaker 1: watched that and said, the adults are back in the room.
Speaker 1: That is that is what. Uh. The kind of vibe
Speaker 1: was that President Biden was clearly trying to get out there,
Speaker 1: and it made it easier because he has a plan.
Speaker 1: He has a plan that he and his transition have
Speaker 1: been working on for a very long time, and it
Speaker 1: is aided by the fact, as you said, Brooke, that
Speaker 1: he is very clear it is not going to happen overnight.
Speaker 1: It is going to get worse before it gets better.
Speaker 1: It's going to get worse before it gets better. It's
Speaker 1: another way for the for the Libs, for the Democrats
Speaker 1: out there to tell everybody that you know, they're what
Speaker 1: they're What they're really letting you know here is they're
Speaker 1: going to move the goalposts a lot. Anything to make
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, anything to make Joe Biden a well, you
Speaker 1: know the guy that's the that's the way that it is.
Speaker 1: Anything to pretend that he's better at this than he
Speaker 1: actually is. So don't think you're going to get honesty
Speaker 1: from these Democrats. That's certainly not going to happen. You
Speaker 1: listening to the Buck Sexton Joe podcast, make sure you
Speaker 1: subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. Let's hear from a man in DC.
Speaker 1: I got a chance to chat with my buddy will
Speaker 1: Rick Cardella this week, and I want you to hear
Speaker 1: what he thinks is happening to the Republican Party and
Speaker 1: just what's going on right now. He's at the Washington Examiner.
Speaker 1: Will great to have you. Hey, fuck, good to talk
Speaker 1: to you from military occupied Washington, DC. Yeah, what was
Speaker 1: it like? I mean, thirty thousand or so troops and
Speaker 1: it was just another day in the inauguration, wasn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was actually a total joke. It was a stunt
Speaker 1: to gin up fear and panic, because that's what Democrats
Speaker 1: have learned. You can control people and you don't have
Speaker 1: to answer any questions. They did it with COVID when
Speaker 1: they changed election rules outside the purview of the Constitution,
Speaker 1: and they're doing it now here in DC to make
Speaker 1: excuses for stifling speech and to vet military officers to
Speaker 1: make sure they have fealty to the left and the
Speaker 1: Joe Biden ministry. And it's actually that's unprecedented. That's actually
Speaker 1: norm smashing, but nobody will talk about that. Now. We
Speaker 1: have this whole stack of executive orders today. I just
Speaker 1: want to ask you about about a few of them,
Speaker 1: and you know they go right to you. You got
Speaker 1: to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. I can't imagine that
Speaker 1: more than more than two or three percent of America
Speaker 1: has has for one moment really been worried about our
Speaker 1: absence from the Paris Climate Accord. Right, but this was
Speaker 1: like this was like top of the list. Will well,
Speaker 1: of course, I mean, look, you can't come out and
Speaker 1: say the politician, Look, capitalism isn't working. We need we
Speaker 1: need what we need to do is have government take
Speaker 1: over the means of control and resources. Right, people will
Speaker 1: call you a socialist, a communist, but that's how they
Speaker 1: do it. They couch themselves in environmentalism. They use that
Speaker 1: to destroy the economic engine and the heart of America.
Speaker 1: That's also really kind of the beating heart of liberty
Speaker 1: in this country is the right to earn a living,
Speaker 1: right to service your fellow man, you know, bea price
Speaker 1: structures and creating your own prices. And that's really what
Speaker 1: they're looking to stifle here. And the more they do that,
Speaker 1: the more control the government has. Look, this is all
Speaker 1: about just controlling people. They did it with healthcare, they
Speaker 1: want to do it with the economy. And that's why
Speaker 1: it's the first issues they take up. Where are you
Speaker 1: seeing this? I mean, you're a guy who understands the
Speaker 1: social media and online news ecosystem very well. You know,
Speaker 1: this last ninety days or so was on precedent, even
Speaker 1: with all of the moves they've been making to shadow
Speaker 1: ban and to limit the reach of conservative ideas online,
Speaker 1: they went essentially overt with it right all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it was, oh, we're we're helping Joe Biden. We're shutting
Speaker 1: you guys down. That's it. It's now a Biden administration.
Speaker 1: Are you seeing things gonna You think things are gonna
Speaker 1: are gonna cool off a little bit with a suppression
Speaker 1: or should we expect them to double down. I don't
Speaker 1: think things are going to cool off, and I'll tell
Speaker 1: you why. Over the past few months, and certainly since September,
Speaker 1: they've really kind of tightened the screws on anything you know,
Speaker 1: anti establishment, anything anti left. They've always targeted these pages
Speaker 1: and these groups, but they really kind of tightened the
Speaker 1: screws and you know, late August, early September, and they
Speaker 1: liked it. I mean, look, it led to you know,
Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden's story being squashed entirely now with the
Speaker 1: with the the Save America March on January sixth and
Speaker 1: the Capitol riots, they're using that as justification. Now they
Speaker 1: feel like they have the justification the people behind them
Speaker 1: in orders to kind of stamp out any other descent.
Speaker 1: And they're going to use it as long as the
Speaker 1: people put up with it. But you know, I think
Speaker 1: it will backfire. I'm not entirely one percent sure, but
Speaker 1: that's where they're going with this. It is too That's
Speaker 1: why they had all the troops here in DC. It's
Speaker 1: to create Hey, there's domestic terrorists and speech is violence,
Speaker 1: and that's the narrative that they're trying to push so
Speaker 1: that they can stamp out under any senting voices. Look,
Speaker 1: you know, they don't want to talk about policies with
Speaker 1: Trump gone. They didn't want to talk with Trump in office.
Speaker 1: They didn't want to talk about policies because they were
Speaker 1: largely successful. The people like them, So they focused on
Speaker 1: making stuff up about I don't know Russia, he's a
Speaker 1: Russia puppet, all out other garbage. They didn't want to
Speaker 1: talk about all his policy victories under Biden. They're not
Speaker 1: going to have much of a choice but then discuss policies,
Speaker 1: and these progressive policies the people really don't like. So
Speaker 1: now what you're going to see is you know, them
Speaker 1: them try to stamp out those dissenting voices. They don't
Speaker 1: want to have those arguments, They don't want to have
Speaker 1: policies in public discourse. So I think you see them
Speaker 1: try to tighten the scruises as much as we let them.
Speaker 1: You know, you have h Jen Saki the White House,
Speaker 1: the new White House Press Secretary holding a press conference
Speaker 1: in which she's you know, are already you know, there's
Speaker 1: a whole there's a whole new tone, There's a whole
Speaker 1: all the journals are gathered to say, what's it like
Speaker 1: to be so amazing and to be a part of
Speaker 1: the greatest administration in history? You know, what's it like
Speaker 1: being in DC and being a being a person who
Speaker 1: works in the in the news media and not and
Speaker 1: not essentially joining team Biden right away? What do you
Speaker 1: see going on amongst your your peers in the belt Way?
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny, like being in New York or
Speaker 1: Number one makes me maybe a perpetual cynic, but I
Speaker 1: don't like anyone, So it makes me a good journalist too.
Speaker 1: It's not my job to be on anybody's team. It's
Speaker 1: my job to report the truth, report the facts. These
Speaker 1: journalists in DC under Trump, under Biden all they care
Speaker 1: about is their intellectual world. Our academics going to write
Speaker 1: about them to uh, you know, invite them to their
Speaker 1: cocktail parties. That's basically what they want. They want to say,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Jake Tapper noticed me on Twitter, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I went to Jim Accosta's cocktail party and
Speaker 1: his rooftop. That's really what this is all about. And
Speaker 1: they all it's like the you know, the vaunted intelligencia.
Speaker 1: They don't know what goes on in in the Roughs
Speaker 1: Belt and you know, in on the Panhandle of Florida
Speaker 1: in Louisiana. They have no clue about those people. They
Speaker 1: just know that they're somehow elevated and better than those people.
Speaker 1: I mean they literally think all those people are just
Speaker 1: racists who you know, basically people who are evil racists
Speaker 1: and stupid Trumpsters. I mean, this is the mentality of
Speaker 1: the of the DC elites and the DC journalist. So
Speaker 1: that's why they fawn. They'll fawn all over Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: So you're going to see that. And he saw the
Speaker 1: tone of Jim Saki up there. It was like at
Speaker 1: the day at the Beach. I mean, it was it's
Speaker 1: a joke. And I think you'll see that happening for
Speaker 1: the next four years. That won't happen at the Washington Examiner,
Speaker 1: the Daily Caller, etc. But that's the tone you'll see
Speaker 1: from mainstream media over the next four years. West being
Speaker 1: a wild Rick Cardella. He is at the Washington Examine
Speaker 1: or Washington Examiner dot com. Go check it out. As
Speaker 1: he says, they're not going to be giving one big
Speaker 1: BackRub to the new administration. They're going to be actually
Speaker 1: reporting news, which will be that'll be refreshing for those
Speaker 1: of you that get stuck in a exercise room or
Speaker 1: something where they got CNND screens on just telling you
Speaker 1: about the glories of the of the Biden administration. I
Speaker 1: gotta say, well, I'm already starting to see the early,
Speaker 1: the early stage walk back of oh on one hundred days,
Speaker 1: Biden's gonna He's not gonna lock down the economy, He's
Speaker 1: gonna lock down the virus. Today there's the people that
Speaker 1: are reporting on well, you know, it's actually gonna be
Speaker 1: really complicated, and you know there's a lot of thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: day one, the goalposts are moving with old man Biden.
Speaker 1: What a shock. Well, yeah, I don't know why anyone
Speaker 1: was shocked. I mean essentially come on your show, and
Speaker 1: I said it before COVID. You know, they positioned themselves
Speaker 1: at one point to make COVID as bad as possible
Speaker 1: to blame Trump. You see them blaming all the death
Speaker 1: on Trump. And it was also to hijack the economy
Speaker 1: at the state level. It was for New York and California,
Speaker 1: some of the biggest economies in the world, to shut
Speaker 1: them down. The economy was booming, Trump was doing well.
Speaker 1: They didn't want to see that happen. And there were
Speaker 1: reports in Politico saying that, look, we're a little nervous
Speaker 1: that if we opened too soon the economy, I'll bounce
Speaker 1: back and it will help Trump just before the election.
Speaker 1: That's what that was about. There's also about fear and
Speaker 1: panic to change election laws at state level in Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: and Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and so on that would that
Speaker 1: would benefit Democrats, and they change them without going through
Speaker 1: the legislatures. So that's a large reason why you know,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden won. And look, if they don't turn those
Speaker 1: those those all over fifty rules changes all over the countries,
Speaker 1: it's just hard to see Republicans doing well. Again in
Speaker 1: a general election for the president. Well, what do you
Speaker 1: think for those who are listening who were Trump voters
Speaker 1: and or you know now are they're still Trump voters,
Speaker 1: but now we're just Republicans right there is there is
Speaker 1: no more Trump presidency. Give me, give me your case
Speaker 1: for a conservative conservative's optimism right now. Look, they should
Speaker 1: be optimistic because if you look at what happened in
Speaker 1: the election in November, Progressives got destroyed. They got destroyed
Speaker 1: at the local level, they got destroyed at the federal level.
Speaker 1: With the exception of Donald Trump. They were supposed to
Speaker 1: pick up houses. They lost a ton of houses, seats
Speaker 1: in the House. So they're not really sitting pretty there.
Speaker 1: They don't have a ton of power. They just squeak
Speaker 1: by in Georgia, which is a blue state now there's
Speaker 1: just no getting around it. It's all the Northeasterners and
Speaker 1: everything moved down there. It will be a blue state.
Speaker 1: That's okay because conservatives have Florida that's now a red state.
Speaker 1: So trading one for one, but you know it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: They should be very optimistic in twenty twenty two of
Speaker 1: taking the House in the Senate, and they should be
Speaker 1: very optimistic in twenty twenty four because look, Americans do
Speaker 1: not like progressive policies. The hardest part of Biden's job
Speaker 1: now is governing. They don't like getting the Climate Paris Accords,
Speaker 1: the immigration problem. If you see all, you see the
Speaker 1: incentives of the Biden administration. Already we have a migrant
Speaker 1: caravan heading here with thousands of people. They already know. Look,
Speaker 1: we've got a free pass. There's gonna be another. Trump
Speaker 1: solved the humanitarian crisis on our border. We'll have one
Speaker 1: within a month with under Joe Biden. So a lot
Speaker 1: of these problems that caused Trump to win in the
Speaker 1: first place, they're going to rear their ugly head again.
Speaker 1: And you're gonna have the juxtaposition between Donald Trump's policies
Speaker 1: where people realize, hey, I'm better off than I was
Speaker 1: four years ago, going back to where they were prior
Speaker 1: to Trump. So you'll have that juxtaposition. The media will
Speaker 1: also be exposed, if they weren't enough already, as how
Speaker 1: they treat Joe Biden versus how they treat Trump. So
Speaker 1: I see Biden as really a lame duck president at
Speaker 1: this point. He's not the future of the party, and
Speaker 1: I feel like progressives are going to try to take
Speaker 1: over and it will doom the Democrats here in the
Speaker 1: next four years. Now, well, before I let you go,
Speaker 1: I want to get you on the record. Do you
Speaker 1: think that Biden is going to is going to try
Speaker 1: to finish out eight years in the presidency or would
Speaker 1: you would you place your bets on he decides at
Speaker 1: some point to voluntarily step aside for Kamala. Look, I know,
Speaker 1: I hope, so I hope that he's well enough to
Speaker 1: run again in four years. To be clear on that,
Speaker 1: I don't He's obviously in a mental decline. I think
Speaker 1: that's without a doubt. The presidency is a tough job.
Speaker 1: He's seventy eight years old, he'll be eighty in the
Speaker 1: mid terms. You know, I hope, I hope he's well,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, But that's something I can't guarantee,
Speaker 1: and it will really see what happens with that left
Speaker 1: wing at the party. Look, Kamala Harris is a full
Speaker 1: blown Marxist. She's the most she makes Bernie. Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: is to the right of Kamala Harris. I think people
Speaker 1: forget that. So she's really going to embolden that far
Speaker 1: left movement in Congress. I mean, we have a socialist
Speaker 1: in the White House. So you know, Biden has to
Speaker 1: really kind of be carefully here because the Americans do
Speaker 1: not if November fourth told taught us anything or November
Speaker 1: three taught us anything. So they do not like progressive policies.
Speaker 1: And you know, if those people are going to be
Speaker 1: fighting him for control, he's going to have a really
Speaker 1: really hard time winning in twenty twenty four. And you know,
Speaker 1: with his with his age and everything, it's going to
Speaker 1: be a tough battle for him. So we'll have to
Speaker 1: see what happens. I really see it, Ruin. We're gonna
Speaker 1: see his right running this White House pretty soon. Here.
Speaker 1: But our man in DC will Rick Cardella Washington Examiner
Speaker 1: dot com and if you can spell his last name,
Speaker 1: follow him on social media. Will great. Thank you all, buddy.
Speaker 1: But this is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow fuck
Speaker 1: on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Rock and roll, fellow Patriots,
Speaker 1: It's time for roll call. Yeah, that's a That's what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about right there. I feel like I'm back
Speaker 1: in like nineteen eighty five or something, just at the
Speaker 1: time of guitar rock gods, Poison Motley Crue van Halen
Speaker 1: sounds of like kiss almost skid rowe Uh kiss, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean kisses. I think kisses a little. I think
Speaker 1: kiss predates those groups a little bit, like the real
Speaker 1: hair bands. You know. But there was an airman I
Speaker 1: remember watching when I used to watch m MTV was
Speaker 1: like this cultural phenomenon for a while, you know, and
Speaker 1: you watch music videos, watch music videos on TV, and
Speaker 1: it was like you like transfixed by these As a kid,
Speaker 1: I watched so many of these music videos and now
Speaker 1: the whole thing is kind of faded away, and I
Speaker 1: guess you can see them on YouTube. So something else
Speaker 1: that you can get going on there, producer Mark. But
Speaker 1: before we, uh, I want to send everybody off with
Speaker 1: a great weekend. You know. I'm gonna be in Florida.
Speaker 1: The Buckster's gonna be in Miami with the Snow Princess,
Speaker 1: with the two My two brothers are down there. They're
Speaker 1: living there right now because they have had enough of
Speaker 1: the Blasio and Cuomo ruining everything. Um, producer Mark, what
Speaker 1: have you got going on? I'll be cold and watching football.
Speaker 1: Well you'll probably stay warm then while you're watching football, yea,
Speaker 1: I'll be indoors so I guess I'll be slightly warmer
Speaker 1: than I would be if I was outdoors. What are
Speaker 1: the games you got this weekend? Well, it's the NFC
Speaker 1: and AFC Conference championship games. So you got the Chiefs
Speaker 1: and the Bills and the Packers and the Buccaneers. It
Speaker 1: should be two really good games. Tom Brady is that
Speaker 1: good that the Buccaneers are now like Super Bowl contenders?
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is I think forty three years old, and yeah,
Speaker 1: he's one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Yeah
Speaker 1: still still look, give the guy credit, and not just
Speaker 1: because he married Gizelle. Also a strong move. You know,
Speaker 1: he's he's getting done. I actually like him now that
Speaker 1: he's not on the Patriots. I used to hate him,
Speaker 1: but now he's because he was kind of Look, let's
Speaker 1: be honest. I mean, and for our for our New
Speaker 1: England listeners. Just earmuff yourself now. Used to put those
Speaker 1: Bernie Mittens on and earmuff yourselves for our New England listeners,
Speaker 1: Boston and the surrounding areas and New Hampshire. And I
Speaker 1: know we got people all across to England. But you know,
Speaker 1: Brady was like the lead year of the Evil Empire.
Speaker 1: Up there, I mean, come on right over the Patriots
Speaker 1: or is okay? So, so that means so if if
Speaker 1: Belichick was like Emperor Palpatine, you know, Brady was like
Speaker 1: Darth Vader, but now it's like Darth Vaders fighting for
Speaker 1: the rebels or the Now he's like one of the
Speaker 1: good guys. Exactly, he's like likable now. It's strange. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: you know he's he's like a little bit he's a
Speaker 1: little bit right of center too in his politics, which
Speaker 1: I of course really appreciate. So and by the way,
Speaker 1: for the Patriots fans, we're just we're just being haters
Speaker 1: because it's probably the greatest sports dynasty of the last
Speaker 1: I think you can say the greatest sports dynasty of
Speaker 1: the last twenty years is that I give them credit
Speaker 1: for being one of the best teams. Ever, who else,
Speaker 1: I mean, who else for you is in that you
Speaker 1: know way more about preessional sports than I do. Who
Speaker 1: else is in that conversation for the best dynasty in
Speaker 1: their sport? Right? I mean, the Patriots are obviously the
Speaker 1: best NFL dynasty of the last twenty years, no question.
Speaker 1: Who's the best dynasty though in their sport? That maybe?
Speaker 1: I mean with the early two thousands. Would the Yankees
Speaker 1: be in that, I mean they are the Yankees are
Speaker 1: in that conversation early two thousands. There's they're the last
Speaker 1: baseball dynasty. He got the Oilers in hockey, but that
Speaker 1: goes all the way back to the eighties. And really
Speaker 1: the Islanders two they won four in a row. Um,
Speaker 1: there's a basketball one. I mean Lebron is a dynasty,
Speaker 1: but on different teams. He made the fun probably the
Speaker 1: probably have to say the Lakers for basketball for a
Speaker 1: period there in the in the shock, Yes, the Shaq
Speaker 1: Kobe here. Yeah. Yeah, so those those would be like
Speaker 1: the true, the true dynasties that that have existed in
Speaker 1: fresh I didn't realize the Oilers were really. Oh that
Speaker 1: was a long time ago. That was a long time.
Speaker 1: It was when Wayne Gretzky played for them. Yeah, why
Speaker 1: it was great. I've seen I saw something recently where
Speaker 1: they showed Wayne Gretzky and you know, the guy looks
Speaker 1: like he honestly looks like he'd be like a professional
Speaker 1: badminton player or something like. He's not you know, you
Speaker 1: think of hockey players or kind of these usually like
Speaker 1: very rugged, strong individuals. Wayne Gretzky was not a big dude.
Speaker 1: He was just why was he better than everybody because
Speaker 1: he was the fastest player ever. He had just the
Speaker 1: best shot. He had the ability to pass it to
Speaker 1: anyone whatever he wanted. I mean, the guy's the all
Speaker 1: time leader in goals, assists, points, everything, and I don't
Speaker 1: think his records would ever be shattered. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: Alexovetkin right now who might get to his record if
Speaker 1: he plays a couple more years, but nobody will ever
Speaker 1: match great. And the thing is with great hockey players,
Speaker 1: they don't have to be huge. You have the other
Speaker 1: huge guys to make sure they don't get hit. But
Speaker 1: there's guys that are like five eleven that play in
Speaker 1: the NHL, like Marty Saint Louis. I would I've seen
Speaker 1: him in person. I used to cover the NHL a
Speaker 1: little bit. He's got tree trunks for legs. So these
Speaker 1: guys may be short, but they're strong as hell, right right, Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: But I mean, like Gretzky is not a physically imposing guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he doesn't look like somebody who beat you up in
Speaker 1: a back alley, but like one of the best athletes ever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I remember, did you You probably this was
Speaker 1: before your time, but I don't know if you ever
Speaker 1: saw it in reruns. There was a show that I
Speaker 1: think it was called like the All Stars or something,
Speaker 1: and it was a cartoon where there were three superheroes
Speaker 1: and you know what, I could even I could even
Speaker 1: look this up. It was Bo Jackson, Wayne Gretzky and
Speaker 1: h Pro Stars pro Stars from nineteen ninety one. Bo Jackson,
Speaker 1: Wayne Gretzky and Michael Jordan. The idea being they were
Speaker 1: like the three greatest you know, athletes of all time
Speaker 1: and they were like superheroes, though it wasn't really U
Speaker 1: it was aired from Saturday Morning cartoon Professional Athletes, and yeah,
Speaker 1: they're fictional superheroes and they would like deal with bad
Speaker 1: guys and stuff. But I mean, you know, Bo Jackson
Speaker 1: is just I don't I don't know all the stats
Speaker 1: about him. He's just like a a a supreme physical
Speaker 1: specimen of strength, speed and coordination. Like to do what
Speaker 1: that guy did is crazy. And he was an All
Speaker 1: Star in two sports, yeah, which is just incredible. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: he's he's he's amazing. And obviously Michael Jordan. I know,
Speaker 1: people will have their arguments about Lebron James. So Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan is, like, it's just that guy was a He
Speaker 1: was really the in a sense, the first truly global
Speaker 1: Well maybe Muhammad Ali actually in his era, but but
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan was a global sports superhero, you know which,
Speaker 1: and with the Dream Team and everything. I mean, he
Speaker 1: really hit that at a time. And he was back
Speaker 1: in the days that athletes didn't talk about politics. Remember
Speaker 1: Republicans buy sneakers too. Yeah, yeah, I know. It was
Speaker 1: nice when when sports was like a thing we could
Speaker 1: all come together on talk about you know, people like
Speaker 1: you who know about it, people like me who know
Speaker 1: like a tiny bit about it. But like we all
Speaker 1: sit around, we're all eating the hot dogs, enjoying ourselves,
Speaker 1: and it's not about you know who you voted for,
Speaker 1: you know, I really, I actually do wish we could
Speaker 1: go back to that. Like I wish the leagues would
Speaker 1: would would you really encourage it? But I know they
Speaker 1: can't because everyone, you order, it really is. Man, everyone's
Speaker 1: got social media now and so there's pressure on everyone
Speaker 1: to weigh in on everything. That's the problem. Yeah, social
Speaker 1: media has completely changed the game. They don't really need
Speaker 1: the media to speak to anymore, they just tweet fire off.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. And also that means that like
Speaker 1: for so people like me, I don't even watch a
Speaker 1: lot of professional sports. And so if I don't watch
Speaker 1: the post game you know, back in the day, if
Speaker 1: you don't watch the post game show like you know,
Speaker 1: and you don't read the newspaper sports section, I don't
Speaker 1: even see what like Scottie Pippen says after a game,
Speaker 1: I don't care. But now if Lebron James tweets out
Speaker 1: to his you know, one hundred million followers, you know,
Speaker 1: police or racist, like, I'm gonna see that. So it's
Speaker 1: a different a different era. All right, let's get to
Speaker 1: your your roll call stuff. We'll kick it off first
Speaker 1: with Brad. Brad writes, Hello, bucking Mark, I love the
Speaker 1: show from back in the producer Tie days. I liked him,
Speaker 1: and I hope you parted on good terms. Well, Brad,
Speaker 1: let me tell you Producer Tye and I parted on
Speaker 1: very friendly terms. I was encouraging and congratulating him because
Speaker 1: he wanted to go We're just talking about sports radio.
Speaker 1: He got a sports radio job to host, and he
Speaker 1: called me a couple of years ago, right, before Christmas,
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, I love working on the
Speaker 1: show and and and you know, I know, you know,
Speaker 1: he said very nice things. You got a huge future
Speaker 1: and I would love to be a part of it.
Speaker 1: But sports is my true passion. And I got a
Speaker 1: job as a sports radio guy in Philadelphia hosting a show.
Speaker 1: And I said, Tye, God bless, I'm so happy that
Speaker 1: you know, you had a good experience here and wish. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we still he reached out to me, Um, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe six months ago to check in see how I'm
Speaker 1: doing and everything. So no, Producer Tye and I, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we parted on. You know, it was like
Speaker 1: he got a promotion and I was very happy for him.
Speaker 1: Um and then uh yeah, and then we got oh now,
Speaker 1: he writes, hold on, It took me a minute to
Speaker 1: figure out producer Mark, but now I'm a huge fan
Speaker 1: of him and the on air interactions you two have
Speaker 1: during the show. See producer Mark Brad is a huge fan.
Speaker 1: I'm an acquired taste. Even my wife says that now
Speaker 1: for the negative, Oh how many times you got to
Speaker 1: bring cold through on to say that Trump was to
Speaker 1: do nothing? Con Man, It's a constant drum beat with her,
Speaker 1: and you give her the airtime, dispute garbage about our
Speaker 1: great former president. Stay friends with her, fine, but I've
Speaker 1: had enough of her as a listener. Keep up the
Speaker 1: good Workshield type. Brad Brad ann is a friend of mine,
Speaker 1: and I always I tell you guys that honestly, and
Speaker 1: and I are friends, and I think, look, I give
Speaker 1: Anne a lot of credit and a lot of I
Speaker 1: give her a wide berth on a lot of things
Speaker 1: because she was one of the early, one of the
Speaker 1: early warriors for our movement. You know, for conservatives, conservative media.
Speaker 1: You go back to the late nineties, early two thousands,
Speaker 1: you know you had the greatest of all, you know,
Speaker 1: our Michael Jordan, r Wayne Gretzky, Rush Limbaugh on radio.
Speaker 1: But you will also have you know, you look at
Speaker 1: people that really became TV and writing superstars for a movement.
Speaker 1: I mean, Coulter has really got to be near the
Speaker 1: very top of that list. So she's done a lot
Speaker 1: for us, and she'd done a lot for Trump. That said,
Speaker 1: she is very but about the fact that you have
Speaker 1: to resent for her. The Trump thing is is personal,
Speaker 1: meaning that it's about her personal relationship with Trump and
Speaker 1: it was widely reported on in a book that and
Speaker 1: you know, and you can ask an. I think Anna
Speaker 1: even brought this up when she was talking to me
Speaker 1: recently on air, that she had a real throwdown with
Speaker 1: Trump in the Oval office about him not falling through
Speaker 1: on policy promises and handing over a lot to Jared.
Speaker 1: Now I understand that maybe that's you know, people don't
Speaker 1: like to hear the same thing too many times. But
Speaker 1: I would ask you to think about that criticism now
Speaker 1: that Trump has gone and see if that's a fair one.
Speaker 1: But Brad point take in and since you love producer Mark,
Speaker 1: your family, so you can say whatever you want. But
Speaker 1: like I am loyal to my friends, so I will
Speaker 1: never have a bad thing to say about Anne on
Speaker 1: the show. And I honestly do believe she's one of
Speaker 1: the greats of our business. She just she had a
Speaker 1: falling out with Trump. Chris hey Buck, big listener since
Speaker 1: your Blaze days when producer Mark was just learning to drive,
Speaker 1: I think that's true. Actually, mathematically speaking, love your show,
Speaker 1: but I have a very scary question for you. Current
Speaker 1: worldwide debt stands at two hundred and fifty trillion and
Speaker 1: thirty year liabilities like social security and socialized medicine stand
Speaker 1: at seven hundred and fifty trillion. Each person in the
Speaker 1: United States owes five hundred thousand dollars of United States debt. Clearly,
Speaker 1: this is unsustainable, and yet our world leaders and central
Speaker 1: bankers sadly have just one solution in the event of
Speaker 1: a crisis, spend more money. There is only one inevitable result,
Speaker 1: with investment experts like Rubidi and Gunlach predicting a seven
Speaker 1: to ten year depression beginning as early as late twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two, what effect would a worldwide depression have on
Speaker 1: China US relations, Biden the Democrats, on religion and on
Speaker 1: work ethic And how are you preparing for such an occurrence?
Speaker 1: Chris an eloquent, thoughtful and serious question or series of
Speaker 1: questions to which I have to just say, I'm not
Speaker 1: meaning to dodge this. There's so much there, my friend,
Speaker 1: that I can't do it justice in a brief role
Speaker 1: call session, I would say that, on the downside, the
Speaker 1: history of Fiat currencies is very clear in that Fiat
Speaker 1: currencies overwhelmingly go well, actually inevitably, I shouldn't say overwhelmingly inevitably.
Speaker 1: Fiat currencies historically speaking, have gone to zero, have basically collapsed.
Speaker 1: Not good. So I know that doesn't help anybody sleep,
Speaker 1: sleep at night, or feel warm and fuzzy about things.
Speaker 1: As for where we're going, well, you know what, my friend, Chris,
Speaker 1: you just got to keep listening to the show. I
Speaker 1: did talk about the dead in this program, and I
Speaker 1: am concerned about the long term projections for this And
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about this now as an asset owner, as
Speaker 1: an investor, as a real estate owner. You know what
Speaker 1: is going to happen with this just gusher of spending
Speaker 1: that's going to be just kicked wide open under the
Speaker 1: Biden administration. And I've got I've got to give it
Speaker 1: more thought. I've got to give it more thought. I will.

Speaker 1: thank you. That makes me feel so much better. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you'll eat some buffalo wings in mine, so though,
Speaker 1: there we go. Yes, are you a bone in guy
Speaker 1: or or a what do you call it? You know?
Speaker 1: With the wings? I prefer see in a social setting
Speaker 1: boneless because they're easy to eat. You just use a fork.
Speaker 1: But I actually prefer bone in. And I'm actually gonna
Speaker 1: make some in the air fryer this weekend. That's something
Speaker 1: I'm planning on doing. Look at you, and the preferred
Speaker 1: sauce is barbecue. Your barbecue over over Buffalo. Interesting Buffalo.
Speaker 1: I've had some problem with spicy foods lately. Let's just
Speaker 1: say that. Ah, I hear you on that one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember when I was in college, we would order
Speaker 1: these wings and they would come in and and there
Speaker 1: was like a hot sauce range, and we thought it
Speaker 1: was funny to like get them at the very top
Speaker 1: of the range. It's not funny later on, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you that much. Yeah, just hurt your mouth and other things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not good, all right, I'm gonna jump around here
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's more of this role call, Steve writes,
Speaker 1: dear Bucking Mark. Producer Mark's comments about playing the long
Speaker 1: game for suicide had me laughing so hard I was
Speaker 1: crying problem as I was driving. Yeah, Brucer, Mark is funny.
Speaker 1: Fox hunting is illegal in the UK. Aficionados go to
Speaker 1: France where there's a cottage industry catering to that crowd.
Speaker 1: Shield's high. Well, Steve, I did not know that, and
Speaker 1: I'm always rooting for the fox to get away. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you that, I just I a I have an
Speaker 1: affinity for foxes as an animal, and I just I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think they're beautiful and cool, and I
Speaker 1: don't like fox on it. I don't want else to
Speaker 1: tell you. Mike Buck, you're one of my favorite podcasts
Speaker 1: to listen to daily. Well, Mike, you're a smart man
Speaker 1: as I. As much as I enjoy your political commentary
Speaker 1: and opinions, my guilty pleasure is roll call at producer
Speaker 1: Mark getting involved. My girlfriend and I just adopted two
Speaker 1: pit mix puppies, Finnegan and Telula. Yes, we named her
Speaker 1: after your cute little canine. It was a name we
Speaker 1: decided on before we found her. Keep up the good
Speaker 1: work and keep pounding on your listeners to contact their
Speaker 1: state representatives because they've forgotten who they work for. Shield's
Speaker 1: high Well, Mike, you got great dog names. Finn and
Speaker 1: telou Finnegan and Telulah. I love that. And you know

Speaker 1: like doctor Fauci. Well no, but that's supposed to be
Speaker 1: Mickey from a Rocky No, I understand, but it sounded
Speaker 1: like your doctor Fauci. I pressure get in that rock. Yeah,
