Hey, welcome to the Buck 4 00:00:21,457 --> 00:00:26,617 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. We have much to discuss, including a great 5 00:00:26,737 --> 00:00:31,177 Speaker 1: week in the Supreme Court for liberty and the Constitution, 6 00:00:31,737 --> 00:00:35,017 Speaker 1: but it's also a reminder of how insane the left 7 00:00:35,057 --> 00:00:38,457 Speaker 1: has gotten and how much they really do want totalitarianism. 8 00:00:38,457 --> 00:00:42,697 Speaker 1: We'll discuss plus rfk Junior very good on COVID. Where 9 00:00:42,697 --> 00:00:45,137 Speaker 1: is he on other issues like affirm of action, which 10 00:00:45,297 --> 00:00:48,417 Speaker 1: also was in the Supreme Court decisions this week? We 11 00:00:48,457 --> 00:00:52,097 Speaker 1: shall address that, and then, because it is Independence Day weekend, 12 00:00:52,697 --> 00:00:58,297 Speaker 1: the greatest Independence Day weekend films of all time, as 13 00:00:58,457 --> 00:01:01,777 Speaker 1: in the best ones to see over Independence Day weekend 14 00:01:01,857 --> 00:01:03,737 Speaker 1: or the ones that have some kind of an actual 15 00:01:03,777 --> 00:01:05,937 Speaker 1: tie into Independence Day weekend. We'll get into all that 16 00:01:05,977 --> 00:01:08,257 Speaker 1: here coming up in just a second. Let's talk about 17 00:01:08,257 --> 00:01:10,777 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court decisions, the biggest one of action. But 18 00:01:10,817 --> 00:01:15,497 Speaker 1: then also you had a religious freedom case in Colorado 19 00:01:15,777 --> 00:01:20,857 Speaker 1: and Biden's giveaway on student loans gets shot down. Let's 20 00:01:20,857 --> 00:01:24,297 Speaker 1: start with the affirmative action competiti this for a moment, 21 00:01:25,817 --> 00:01:29,017 Speaker 1: the most important thing with this is to just look 22 00:01:29,257 --> 00:01:32,457 Speaker 1: very clear, forget all the noise, forget the talking points, 23 00:01:32,457 --> 00:01:35,377 Speaker 1: forget what people on the left and the Democrats and 24 00:01:35,417 --> 00:01:38,977 Speaker 1: the establishment and all that say about this, and just 25 00:01:39,177 --> 00:01:43,457 Speaker 1: lean forward yourself, look at what's going on, and come 26 00:01:43,457 --> 00:01:48,017 Speaker 1: to the most obvious conclusion. Racial discrimination is wrong. Looking 27 00:01:48,057 --> 00:01:50,697 Speaker 1: at someone's skin color and making any determination about them 28 00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:55,457 Speaker 1: whatsoever is wrong. Giving someone a benefit because of their 29 00:01:55,497 --> 00:01:59,057 Speaker 1: skin color wrong. Taking away a benefit because of a 30 00:01:59,097 --> 00:02:02,817 Speaker 1: skin color wrong. You should just look at people as people. 31 00:02:03,257 --> 00:02:05,977 Speaker 1: If the equal protection clause of the Constitution is to 32 00:02:06,017 --> 00:02:10,257 Speaker 1: have any meaning, it should be that. Right. Is the 33 00:02:10,297 --> 00:02:13,297 Speaker 1: most straightforward thing imaginable. There's all this talk you'll see, 34 00:02:13,577 --> 00:02:15,137 Speaker 1: and it was in the this is a six ' 35 00:02:15,137 --> 00:02:19,017 Speaker 1: to three decision. Right. That's striking down for UNC Chapel 36 00:02:19,097 --> 00:02:23,417 Speaker 1: Hill and also or the UNC system and Harvard University, 37 00:02:24,297 --> 00:02:27,657 Speaker 1: the system that they had that was discriminating specifically against Asians, 38 00:02:28,617 --> 00:02:30,697 Speaker 1: which I think made this also very clear because the 39 00:02:30,737 --> 00:02:33,297 Speaker 1: Democrats talk about this and they say, well, what about 40 00:02:33,297 --> 00:02:37,257 Speaker 1: the legacy of slavery and the oppression by law of 41 00:02:37,377 --> 00:02:41,497 Speaker 1: blacks after slavery was finally abolished, and all of that 42 00:02:41,697 --> 00:02:44,457 Speaker 1: is true, All that was wrong and it was a 43 00:02:44,537 --> 00:02:47,657 Speaker 1: stain on this country's history. But it hasn't been the 44 00:02:47,657 --> 00:02:51,417 Speaker 1: case for a long time. And affirmative action goes well 45 00:02:51,457 --> 00:02:56,257 Speaker 1: beyond issues of black and white individuals applying to college. 46 00:02:56,537 --> 00:03:00,417 Speaker 1: It also affects Hispanics, they get points, they get a 47 00:03:00,457 --> 00:03:03,617 Speaker 1: benefit from it. It affects Asians, they get negative points, 48 00:03:03,657 --> 00:03:08,017 Speaker 1: if you will, They get treated also as though as 49 00:03:08,097 --> 00:03:11,337 Speaker 1: though Asian is an ethnicity. Think about how obtuse that is. 50 00:03:11,417 --> 00:03:14,057 Speaker 1: This actually came up in I believe it was the 51 00:03:14,177 --> 00:03:18,337 Speaker 1: Robert's opinion of the court, the notion that in Asian 52 00:03:19,057 --> 00:03:21,897 Speaker 1: is in Asian when you're talking for the purposes of 53 00:03:21,937 --> 00:03:26,737 Speaker 1: college admissions, when you're including in that massive land mass, 54 00:03:27,377 --> 00:03:31,177 Speaker 1: someone from South Korea is treated as being, you know, 55 00:03:31,457 --> 00:03:34,257 Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes of college admission, very similar 56 00:03:34,257 --> 00:03:41,337 Speaker 1: to somebody from Pakistan. Right, someone from Kazakhstan is in 57 00:03:41,377 --> 00:03:46,497 Speaker 1: the same category as somebody from Vietnam, somebody from China, 58 00:03:46,577 --> 00:03:48,177 Speaker 1: somebody from India. I mean, you start to look at 59 00:03:48,217 --> 00:03:52,217 Speaker 1: this and you say, that's just completely insane. The difference 60 00:03:52,257 --> 00:03:54,497 Speaker 1: is you find people that are as different as any 61 00:03:54,497 --> 00:03:58,177 Speaker 1: groups of people around the world. Under Asia as an 62 00:03:58,217 --> 00:04:02,137 Speaker 1: overall overarching concept, it's absurd. What the left has been 63 00:04:02,137 --> 00:04:06,217 Speaker 1: doing is wrong, and everybody knows it. But now they're 64 00:04:06,297 --> 00:04:08,577 Speaker 1: upset about it. Now it's all, oh, but what about 65 00:04:08,617 --> 00:04:11,497 Speaker 1: all the discrimination that's going to continue? You there's also 66 00:04:12,377 --> 00:04:16,177 Speaker 1: the perception that was rooted in the reality that anybody 67 00:04:16,257 --> 00:04:19,777 Speaker 1: of a certain ethnicity who graduated from the most elite 68 00:04:19,817 --> 00:04:26,217 Speaker 1: colleges may well have receive tremendous benefit in the application process. 69 00:04:26,257 --> 00:04:27,897 Speaker 1: And that means that people look at them and they 70 00:04:28,217 --> 00:04:31,377 Speaker 1: think differently. Right, if you see a Native American who 71 00:04:31,417 --> 00:04:34,417 Speaker 1: went to Harvard, you think to your look at Elizabeth 72 00:04:34,457 --> 00:04:37,217 Speaker 1: Warren faking being a Native American? Why did she do that? 73 00:04:37,417 --> 00:04:40,217 Speaker 1: Right so she could teach at Harvard. But you look 74 00:04:40,217 --> 00:04:42,897 Speaker 1: at somebody who's Native American and you say to yourself. 75 00:04:43,097 --> 00:04:46,657 Speaker 1: A lot of people would say to themselves, I wonder 76 00:04:47,177 --> 00:04:50,217 Speaker 1: what that person actually got in the SATs. I wonder 77 00:04:50,257 --> 00:04:52,057 Speaker 1: what benefit he or she may have gotten in the 78 00:04:52,097 --> 00:04:54,897 Speaker 1: application process. And what's fascinating is that the left say 79 00:04:54,977 --> 00:04:58,457 Speaker 1: how dare you? And you say, well, how dare I? 80 00:04:58,697 --> 00:05:00,857 Speaker 1: Is that what's going on or not? You see what 81 00:05:00,897 --> 00:05:03,057 Speaker 1: they want to do is they want to change standards 82 00:05:03,377 --> 00:05:06,657 Speaker 1: because they say it is necessary to change standards, but 83 00:05:06,737 --> 00:05:09,257 Speaker 1: were not allowed to point out that they're changing standards. 84 00:05:10,137 --> 00:05:11,617 Speaker 1: And this is the game they play at a whole 85 00:05:11,697 --> 00:05:13,257 Speaker 1: range of different things. They do this also with the 86 00:05:13,297 --> 00:05:15,937 Speaker 1: military with male and female. Right, we're not changing the 87 00:05:15,937 --> 00:05:17,777 Speaker 1: standards so that women can be in combat roles. They 88 00:05:17,817 --> 00:05:20,177 Speaker 1: always end up changing the standards. And then when you 89 00:05:20,177 --> 00:05:21,617 Speaker 1: say you guys are changing the standards, you know what 90 00:05:21,657 --> 00:05:23,937 Speaker 1: they do? They say, why are you a bigot? Or 91 00:05:23,977 --> 00:05:25,977 Speaker 1: why are you a sexist? Or you're a bad person 92 00:05:26,417 --> 00:05:28,777 Speaker 1: because they can't win on the argument because it's emotional 93 00:05:28,817 --> 00:05:32,857 Speaker 1: for them. It's the political tribalism of my side wants 94 00:05:32,897 --> 00:05:36,177 Speaker 1: to do this, so it doesn't matter what's true. I 95 00:05:36,297 --> 00:05:38,657 Speaker 1: have to push for my side. That is their approach 96 00:05:38,697 --> 00:05:43,057 Speaker 1: to this full stop. That is the full on reality. 97 00:05:43,817 --> 00:05:47,097 Speaker 1: So I think it's important that we understand what's really 98 00:05:47,137 --> 00:05:51,897 Speaker 1: going on here. Affirmative action is not done and over 99 00:05:51,937 --> 00:05:54,977 Speaker 1: with as a result of this. Harvard has already pointed 100 00:05:55,017 --> 00:05:57,417 Speaker 1: out that there's some loophole they're going to try to 101 00:05:57,537 --> 00:06:01,497 Speaker 1: use here of people writing about their battles with racism. 102 00:06:01,577 --> 00:06:05,377 Speaker 1: And this is what I would advise for people applying 103 00:06:05,417 --> 00:06:08,097 Speaker 1: to colleges all across the country now who for elite 104 00:06:08,097 --> 00:06:11,257 Speaker 1: schools in particular, slightly less of an issue for schools 105 00:06:11,257 --> 00:06:13,937 Speaker 1: that have a sixty or seventy percent acceptance rate, right, 106 00:06:14,017 --> 00:06:16,657 Speaker 1: but for schools that have a three percent or five 107 00:06:16,737 --> 00:06:21,497 Speaker 1: percent acceptance rate or whatever. My advice would be, come 108 00:06:21,577 --> 00:06:24,417 Speaker 1: up with a narrative that will work. Talk about your 109 00:06:24,457 --> 00:06:26,977 Speaker 1: struggles with racism. It doesn't matter what race you are, 110 00:06:27,017 --> 00:06:30,337 Speaker 1: how they're gonna know. Just come up with something. Come 111 00:06:30,417 --> 00:06:34,937 Speaker 1: up with some story. Use this as an opportunity to 112 00:06:35,097 --> 00:06:38,257 Speaker 1: get into the gears of this discriminatory system and bring 113 00:06:38,297 --> 00:06:40,697 Speaker 1: the whole thing to a halt. Because if they're going 114 00:06:40,777 --> 00:06:43,137 Speaker 1: to say, well, now you don't have to submit your SATs, 115 00:06:43,177 --> 00:06:46,297 Speaker 1: don't submit your SATs, and talk about your struggles with 116 00:06:46,377 --> 00:06:49,377 Speaker 1: whatever whatever you think is is gonna work. They can't 117 00:06:49,377 --> 00:06:51,577 Speaker 1: get inside your head. That's what this is all about anyway, 118 00:06:51,897 --> 00:06:55,737 Speaker 1: because they're telling you very clearly, well, you know, what's 119 00:06:55,777 --> 00:06:59,137 Speaker 1: more important that you got great grades and we're a 120 00:06:59,217 --> 00:07:01,417 Speaker 1: leader in your class and or a you know, a 121 00:07:01,457 --> 00:07:04,857 Speaker 1: stellar athlete, et cetera, et cetera, or you check a 122 00:07:04,897 --> 00:07:07,697 Speaker 1: box for us that allows us to have more diversity 123 00:07:07,697 --> 00:07:11,257 Speaker 1: in the classroom. Either play the system or let the 124 00:07:11,257 --> 00:07:13,977 Speaker 1: system play you So I think people should game the 125 00:07:14,017 --> 00:07:16,137 Speaker 1: system for college admissions now and every way they can 126 00:07:16,217 --> 00:07:20,657 Speaker 1: without fully crossing ethical lines as in forging transcripts or 127 00:07:20,657 --> 00:07:23,177 Speaker 1: anything like that. You can't do that. But you're talking 128 00:07:23,217 --> 00:07:25,337 Speaker 1: about an essay. You can talk about your struggles with 129 00:07:25,417 --> 00:07:27,617 Speaker 1: you know whatever, or you had to overcome you know, 130 00:07:28,857 --> 00:07:31,457 Speaker 1: you know who's gonna see this as college admissions. Commuite 131 00:07:31,497 --> 00:07:34,017 Speaker 1: be like I was struggling with my gender identity and 132 00:07:34,057 --> 00:07:37,017 Speaker 1: I finally whatever, Right, all of a sudden, you have 133 00:07:37,057 --> 00:07:41,177 Speaker 1: some guys, you know, the captain of the ice hockey 134 00:07:41,217 --> 00:07:42,777 Speaker 1: team or something. It was like, Yeah, I struggle with 135 00:07:42,777 --> 00:07:44,457 Speaker 1: my gender identity a lot in high school, but now 136 00:07:44,457 --> 00:07:46,777 Speaker 1: I'm at Now I'm at Yale, So who cares? Right, 137 00:07:47,177 --> 00:07:48,897 Speaker 1: That's the only way that I see this really going 138 00:07:48,897 --> 00:07:50,897 Speaker 1: away is you have to bring You have to really 139 00:07:50,977 --> 00:07:54,937 Speaker 1: use Sawolynski style tactics, use the tactics of the enemy 140 00:07:54,937 --> 00:07:58,297 Speaker 1: against the enemy. Mess up the system, do what you 141 00:07:58,377 --> 00:08:00,897 Speaker 1: can to bring the whole thing to it. Because it's wrong, 142 00:08:00,937 --> 00:08:03,657 Speaker 1: and we know it's wrong. It's been declared unconstitutional. This 143 00:08:03,737 --> 00:08:06,737 Speaker 1: isn't just a theory anymore. This is the reality of 144 00:08:06,777 --> 00:08:10,177 Speaker 1: what's happening all across the country in college admissions, and 145 00:08:10,217 --> 00:08:12,257 Speaker 1: we also have to see that it extends beyond college 146 00:08:12,297 --> 00:08:14,937 Speaker 1: omissions to hiring. You should not be able to hire 147 00:08:14,977 --> 00:08:18,857 Speaker 1: somebody or give preference in hiring because of skin color 148 00:08:18,937 --> 00:08:21,257 Speaker 1: or anything else, you know, gender identity, you name it. 149 00:08:22,137 --> 00:08:24,617 Speaker 1: That shouldn't be legally either. It's a violation of the 150 00:08:24,657 --> 00:08:27,897 Speaker 1: fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution. Now some of these are 151 00:08:27,897 --> 00:08:29,777 Speaker 1: going to have to be adjudicated further in the courts, 152 00:08:29,777 --> 00:08:33,057 Speaker 1: that's for sure, but the principle has been established and 153 00:08:33,057 --> 00:08:34,737 Speaker 1: it's clear who's on the right side of this one, 154 00:08:34,777 --> 00:08:39,377 Speaker 1: and it's not the Libs. It's not the libs. JFK 155 00:08:39,497 --> 00:08:43,697 Speaker 1: Junior did nine push ups everybody, Sorry RFK Junior, pardon me, 156 00:08:43,817 --> 00:08:48,137 Speaker 1: nine pushups? Everyone freaked out. Guy's shirtless and jeans. Like 157 00:08:48,177 --> 00:08:51,497 Speaker 1: I've been saying, doesn't like what's in the vaccines, But 158 00:08:52,217 --> 00:08:54,377 Speaker 1: what else is this guy taking? Just putting it out there. 159 00:08:54,657 --> 00:08:57,417 Speaker 1: But people are telling me, Oh, he's great, He's talking 160 00:08:57,457 --> 00:08:59,017 Speaker 1: about all these things that make so much sense. I've 161 00:08:59,137 --> 00:09:00,457 Speaker 1: like some of what he said, to be clear, and 162 00:09:00,497 --> 00:09:05,817 Speaker 1: I've been consistent on that. He's excellent on the vaccine, 163 00:09:06,137 --> 00:09:09,297 Speaker 1: a COVID vaccine issue and COVID lockdowns, said some smart 164 00:09:09,297 --> 00:09:12,297 Speaker 1: things about the border to send, some reasonable things about 165 00:09:12,297 --> 00:09:15,417 Speaker 1: gun control as well.

Now, 195 00:10:44,697 --> 00:10:46,097 Speaker 1: maybe we can get him to come a little bit 196 00:10:46,097 --> 00:10:48,817 Speaker 1: more on the side of the righteous and the conservative 197 00:10:48,857 --> 00:10:51,657 Speaker 1: and the right wing here, but he's still a Democrat. 198 00:10:51,737 --> 00:10:53,817 Speaker 1: And you see this with his recent Oh, people can 199 00:10:53,857 --> 00:10:55,497 Speaker 1: get mad at me, but I called this from the beginning. 200 00:10:55,497 --> 00:10:58,497 Speaker 1: I said, guys, people say, oh, he should run with 201 00:10:58,537 --> 00:11:00,617 Speaker 1: Trump and there's a unity ticket here. I say, hold 202 00:11:00,657 --> 00:11:03,657 Speaker 1: on a second run with Trump? What does he think 203 00:11:03,697 --> 00:11:06,337 Speaker 1: about a whole range of things, right, not even just 204 00:11:06,377 --> 00:11:07,537 Speaker 1: one or two things. What do you think about a 205 00:11:07,537 --> 00:11:11,417 Speaker 1: whole range of things. Well, we shall see here he 206 00:11:11,497 --> 00:11:15,937 Speaker 1: is in the aftermath of the affirmative action decision. He 207 00:11:15,977 --> 00:11:19,137 Speaker 1: wrote on Twitter regarding the Supreme Court banning affirmative action 208 00:11:19,217 --> 00:11:22,177 Speaker 1: and higher ed. I know many Americans feel that purely 209 00:11:22,297 --> 00:11:26,577 Speaker 1: race based decisions are unfair. However, this feeling misses important context. 210 00:11:26,617 --> 00:11:30,297 Speaker 1: The effects of racist policies going back centuries are now 211 00:11:30,497 --> 00:11:35,417 Speaker 1: self perpetuating. Affirmative action understands this and uses race based 212 00:11:35,417 --> 00:11:39,577 Speaker 1: policies to undo the effects of racist policies. Colorblind admissions 213 00:11:39,617 --> 00:11:41,457 Speaker 1: tend to favor those who are already in the circle 214 00:11:41,497 --> 00:11:45,417 Speaker 1: of privilege, favors those who grew up in affluent, educated households. 215 00:11:45,617 --> 00:11:47,217 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you like to invite in those who have been 216 00:11:47,297 --> 00:11:51,097 Speaker 1: left out in the cold. He's just wrong on this, 217 00:11:51,857 --> 00:11:53,977 Speaker 1: He's just wrong. I don't know how else to say 218 00:11:54,017 --> 00:11:56,937 Speaker 1: it more clearly than that this is an incorrect take 219 00:11:57,777 --> 00:12:01,257 Speaker 1: on what the realities of affirmative action really are. Because, 220 00:12:01,257 --> 00:12:05,457 Speaker 1: as I've said, Asians pay the price for including recent 221 00:12:05,457 --> 00:12:08,537 Speaker 1: Asian immigrants, pay the price for what America did one 222 00:12:08,577 --> 00:12:11,897 Speaker 1: hundred years ago, on hundred and fifty years ago. Really, 223 00:12:11,937 --> 00:12:13,937 Speaker 1: that's how we're gonna go Yeah, that's that's the way 224 00:12:13,937 --> 00:12:19,297 Speaker 1: this goes. Now, new African immigrants to this country get 225 00:12:19,337 --> 00:12:22,257 Speaker 1: the benefit of affirmative action if you come here from Nigeria, 226 00:12:22,857 --> 00:12:27,737 Speaker 1: for example, if you come to America from from Ghana 227 00:12:27,857 --> 00:12:32,017 Speaker 1: or Zimbabwe or South Africa, or you know, wherever you 228 00:12:32,697 --> 00:12:36,217 Speaker 1: as applying here, get the benefit of affirmative action as 229 00:12:36,257 --> 00:12:41,417 Speaker 1: a black person applying to you know, to college. Obviously 230 00:12:41,457 --> 00:12:43,577 Speaker 1: are non black people in Africa too, but assuming you 231 00:12:43,657 --> 00:12:46,377 Speaker 1: actually are black, you get the benefit of affirmative action 232 00:12:46,497 --> 00:12:51,497 Speaker 1: even though you would have experienced no discrimination in per se, right, 233 00:12:51,537 --> 00:12:53,457 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not something you usually think about the 234 00:12:53,457 --> 00:12:56,897 Speaker 1: context of black Africans in Africa. They're usually not experiencing 235 00:12:57,697 --> 00:13:01,057 Speaker 1: in the countries that I'm naming, certainly, you know, any 236 00:13:01,097 --> 00:13:07,137 Speaker 1: more discrimination. So then how can you justify this? Well, 237 00:13:07,177 --> 00:13:09,297 Speaker 1: you can't because it makes no sense. Why do Hispanics 238 00:13:09,297 --> 00:13:11,937 Speaker 1: get so much affirma of action because there's not enough 239 00:13:11,977 --> 00:13:14,617 Speaker 1: of them in the elite schools. Well, the Supreme Court 240 00:13:14,697 --> 00:13:17,137 Speaker 1: had said for a long time, we can't have quotas. 241 00:13:17,817 --> 00:13:21,817 Speaker 1: Quotas are not okay because quotas clearly show that there's 242 00:13:21,857 --> 00:13:26,977 Speaker 1: a tremendous weight put on superficial skin color diversity. So 243 00:13:27,057 --> 00:13:29,137 Speaker 1: what they did is they said, okay, well you can 244 00:13:29,217 --> 00:13:31,737 Speaker 1: have a quota, but you can basically have a stealth quota. 245 00:13:32,377 --> 00:13:35,457 Speaker 1: You know, you you can have a holistic application process 246 00:13:35,577 --> 00:13:37,057 Speaker 1: or whatever where you can look at a whole range 247 00:13:37,097 --> 00:13:40,337 Speaker 1: of factors. That's just an invitation for quotas by another name. 248 00:13:40,377 --> 00:13:43,737 Speaker 1: And that's what we've had. That's what they've done. They've 249 00:13:43,777 --> 00:13:45,497 Speaker 1: got they've got to make sure they get the numbers 250 00:13:45,497 --> 00:13:47,577 Speaker 1: they want to get, and so they pretend that they're 251 00:13:47,577 --> 00:13:51,297 Speaker 1: looking at things holistically. But you know, RFK Junior is 252 00:13:52,657 --> 00:13:55,417 Speaker 1: wrong on this one. He's just wrong on this one. Now, 253 00:13:55,457 --> 00:13:57,417 Speaker 1: it's okay to be wrong on a few things. Everyone's 254 00:13:57,417 --> 00:13:58,937 Speaker 1: wrong on a few things. I mean, I'm even wrong 255 00:13:58,977 --> 00:14:02,897 Speaker 1: once in a very very rare while. But I just 256 00:14:02,897 --> 00:14:06,857 Speaker 1: think it's important to note that he's a Democrat, my friends, 257 00:14:07,457 --> 00:14:09,817 Speaker 1: and that means that our whole range of issues, he 258 00:14:09,857 --> 00:14:12,657 Speaker 1: sees the world differently than conservatives do. Now, we can 259 00:14:12,777 --> 00:14:17,217 Speaker 1: praise him for the areas where he is sound, reasonable, rational, 260 00:14:17,297 --> 00:14:21,257 Speaker 1: agrees with us. Those things usually all go together, but 261 00:14:21,297 --> 00:14:22,937 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that we should overlook the fact that 262 00:14:22,937 --> 00:14:24,817 Speaker 1: if you want him to be president, right, if someone 263 00:14:24,857 --> 00:14:26,737 Speaker 1: says hey, Buck, we should listen to r FFK Junior 264 00:14:26,737 --> 00:14:30,017 Speaker 1: more on public safety. When it comes to vaccines and 265 00:14:30,057 --> 00:14:33,217 Speaker 1: the FDA and everything, I say, yeah, great, absolutely, let's 266 00:14:33,217 --> 00:14:34,937 Speaker 1: hear him out. Let's let's look at these things that 267 00:14:34,977 --> 00:14:37,377 Speaker 1: he's talking about. Right, I don't I don't have deep 268 00:14:37,417 --> 00:14:39,457 Speaker 1: expertise in vaccines that don't pretend to. I know the 269 00:14:39,457 --> 00:14:42,977 Speaker 1: COVID vaccine was preposterous compared to what they said it 270 00:14:43,017 --> 00:14:44,977 Speaker 1: would be able to do. I know that they should 271 00:14:44,977 --> 00:14:47,737 Speaker 1: have never mandated it. That was totalitarian, and I know 272 00:14:47,777 --> 00:14:50,057 Speaker 1: that RFK Junior saw that. So I'm with him on 273 00:14:50,417 --> 00:14:52,897 Speaker 1: those things. But when people are saying, well, I think 274 00:14:52,937 --> 00:14:55,057 Speaker 1: I might vote I mean Republicans are saying I might 275 00:14:55,097 --> 00:14:56,297 Speaker 1: vote for him for president, I go w wehll well, 276 00:14:56,337 --> 00:14:59,857 Speaker 1: Hold on a second, Hold hold on a second. Where 277 00:14:59,937 --> 00:15:02,617 Speaker 1: is he on the economy, Where is he on the 278 00:15:02,937 --> 00:15:05,177 Speaker 1: pro life issues? Where is he on you know, you 279 00:15:05,297 --> 00:15:08,017 Speaker 1: go down the list. He's a Democrat. He's probably on 280 00:15:08,017 --> 00:15:09,977 Speaker 1: the wrong side of most of those issues. I would 281 00:15:10,057 --> 00:15:12,537 Speaker 1: I would guess. I don't know, but I'm not sure 282 00:15:12,577 --> 00:15:16,417 Speaker 1: he really knows. Maybe he's transitioning, there's that word more 283 00:15:16,417 --> 00:15:19,297 Speaker 1: to our side. So we shall have to see but 284 00:15:20,377 --> 00:15:22,097 Speaker 1: a little skepticism of some of these things I think 285 00:15:22,137 --> 00:15:25,137 Speaker 1: always serves us well. Talk about the best movies for 286 00:15:25,137 --> 00:15:27,337 Speaker 1: Independence Day weekend, give you something fun to think about 287 00:15:27,417 --> 00:15:30,257 Speaker 1: for the weekend as we head out. The value for 288 00:15:30,297 --> 00:15:32,657 Speaker 1: life savings and retirement accounts is dependent in part on 289 00:15:32,697 --> 00:15:35,137 Speaker 1: our stock market. Take into account what affects our stock 290 00:15:35,137 --> 00:15:37,137 Speaker 1: market performance, and just think, do you want to put 291 00:15:37,177 --> 00:15:39,337 Speaker 1: all your marbles in one basket? Not the way to 292 00:15:39,377 --> 00:15:42,377 Speaker 1: do it. That's why owning gold right now, at this 293 00:15:42,497 --> 00:15:45,377 Speaker 1: point in time, makes so much sense. Gold is good. 294 00:15:45,417 --> 00:15:47,617 Speaker 1: The value in stability of gold is both an investment 295 00:15:47,657 --> 00:15:50,137 Speaker 1: and a hedge against inflation.

All right, now I am 312 00:16:41,377 --> 00:16:45,297 Speaker 1: looking at something I thought was really really interesting, and 313 00:16:45,377 --> 00:16:50,337 Speaker 1: it is that Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was 314 00:16:50,377 --> 00:16:53,057 Speaker 1: released thirty four years ago. This is from the Twitter 315 00:16:53,977 --> 00:16:56,377 Speaker 1: handle All the Right Movies thirty four years ago. Today. 316 00:16:57,297 --> 00:17:01,577 Speaker 1: I do think as a movie standalone, it is the 317 00:17:01,577 --> 00:17:04,257 Speaker 1: best of the Indiana Jones trilogy. Now I get it. 318 00:17:04,297 --> 00:17:06,097 Speaker 1: Some of you are gonna say, how dare you turn 319 00:17:06,137 --> 00:17:09,417 Speaker 1: your back on on the Raiders of a Lost Ark, 320 00:17:09,457 --> 00:17:11,977 Speaker 1: which started the whole thing, which was a great movie. 321 00:17:12,217 --> 00:17:14,577 Speaker 1: I would argue that Indiana Jones the first three forget 322 00:17:14,577 --> 00:17:17,377 Speaker 1: about the it's only three. We don't even talk about 323 00:17:17,377 --> 00:17:20,777 Speaker 1: the other ones. Indiana Jones, the first three movies are 324 00:17:21,977 --> 00:17:25,057 Speaker 1: it's among the best four or five trilogies ever made, 325 00:17:25,417 --> 00:17:27,937 Speaker 1: one of the among the best because even Temple of 326 00:17:27,937 --> 00:17:30,857 Speaker 1: Doom is very watchable for what it is, very watchable film. 327 00:17:31,537 --> 00:17:34,057 Speaker 1: But that's a great and it's a fantastic you know 328 00:17:34,137 --> 00:17:36,937 Speaker 1: popcorn movie. Go with the family, Go on the weekends. 329 00:17:36,937 --> 00:17:38,497 Speaker 1: I mean, they used to make these great movies. They 330 00:17:38,497 --> 00:17:40,977 Speaker 1: don't really make them like this anymore. But I was 331 00:17:41,017 --> 00:17:44,657 Speaker 1: thinking about Independence Day weekend movies, things released like this 332 00:17:44,777 --> 00:17:48,337 Speaker 1: was released right before Independence Day, things released on it. 333 00:17:48,657 --> 00:17:50,817 Speaker 1: And also that have to do with it. If you're 334 00:17:50,857 --> 00:17:56,497 Speaker 1: talking about something that is in the Independence Day genre, 335 00:17:57,657 --> 00:18:01,857 Speaker 1: well there's Independence Day, the movie with the Aliens, which 336 00:18:01,897 --> 00:18:04,457 Speaker 1: is which is a fun. Look, I'm just gonna it's 337 00:18:04,457 --> 00:18:07,057 Speaker 1: a fun watch. It's preposterous, but it's a fun watch. 338 00:18:07,097 --> 00:18:09,337 Speaker 1: Not just preposterous because the alien invasion thing, I can, 339 00:18:09,417 --> 00:18:12,017 Speaker 1: I can suspend disbelief on that one. But just the 340 00:18:12,017 --> 00:18:13,817 Speaker 1: way the whole movie moves along, it's kind of but 341 00:18:13,857 --> 00:18:15,937 Speaker 1: it's fun. I like it. I'm not hating on it. 342 00:18:15,977 --> 00:18:19,217 Speaker 1: You know, Pullman and Smith do a very good job. 343 00:18:19,457 --> 00:18:21,697 Speaker 1: Jeff Goldbloom is, isn't he it? Yeah, Jeff gold blooms 344 00:18:21,697 --> 00:18:26,537 Speaker 1: in it. Jeff Goldbloom. But it's very good. And then 345 00:18:27,897 --> 00:18:30,737 Speaker 1: what else do I have on the list here? The Patriot, 346 00:18:30,857 --> 00:18:36,457 Speaker 1: Mel Gibson. Great watch for Independence weekend, Jaws. Think about 347 00:18:36,457 --> 00:18:39,977 Speaker 1: it that Jaws has a whole Fourth of July subplot 348 00:18:40,057 --> 00:18:41,857 Speaker 1: to it. Right, They're gonna keep the beaches open of 349 00:18:41,897 --> 00:18:44,617 Speaker 1: the fourth of July because they need to. So, if 350 00:18:44,617 --> 00:18:48,697 Speaker 1: we're looking at all in the best, I think that 351 00:18:48,977 --> 00:18:51,897 Speaker 1: if it's a movie that was released, I'm sorry, a 352 00:18:51,897 --> 00:18:55,777 Speaker 1: movie that has to do with Independence Day, Jaws is 353 00:18:55,817 --> 00:18:58,857 Speaker 1: probably the best. Also, I want you to be clean 354 00:18:59,097 --> 00:19:02,057 Speaker 1: shaven and get the best shave possible wherever you go. 355 00:19:02,137 --> 00:19:04,377 Speaker 1: So that's why.

It's phenomenal, super close shave. All 370 00:19:49,417 --> 00:19:51,857 Speaker 1: that four or five razors in one thing is nonsense. 371 00:19:51,897 --> 00:19:54,737 Speaker 1: That's because the quality is not very high.
