Speaker 1: You're listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, welcome to the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. We have much to discuss, including a great
Speaker 1: week in the Supreme Court for liberty and the Constitution,
Speaker 1: but it's also a reminder of how insane the left
Speaker 1: has gotten and how much they really do want totalitarianism.
Speaker 1: We'll discuss plus rfk Junior very good on COVID. Where
Speaker 1: is he on other issues like affirm of action, which
Speaker 1: also was in the Supreme Court decisions this week? We
Speaker 1: shall address that, and then, because it is Independence Day weekend,
Speaker 1: the greatest Independence Day weekend films of all time, as
Speaker 1: in the best ones to see over Independence Day weekend
Speaker 1: or the ones that have some kind of an actual
Speaker 1: tie into Independence Day weekend. We'll get into all that
Speaker 1: here coming up in just a second. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court decisions, the biggest one of action. But
Speaker 1: then also you had a religious freedom case in Colorado
Speaker 1: and Biden's giveaway on student loans gets shot down. Let's
Speaker 1: start with the affirmative action competiti this for a moment,
Speaker 1: the most important thing with this is to just look
Speaker 1: very clear, forget all the noise, forget the talking points,
Speaker 1: forget what people on the left and the Democrats and
Speaker 1: the establishment and all that say about this, and just
Speaker 1: lean forward yourself, look at what's going on, and come
Speaker 1: to the most obvious conclusion. Racial discrimination is wrong. Looking
Speaker 1: at someone's skin color and making any determination about them
Speaker 1: whatsoever is wrong. Giving someone a benefit because of their
Speaker 1: skin color wrong. Taking away a benefit because of a
Speaker 1: skin color wrong. You should just look at people as people.
Speaker 1: If the equal protection clause of the Constitution is to
Speaker 1: have any meaning, it should be that. Right. Is the
Speaker 1: most straightforward thing imaginable. There's all this talk you'll see,
Speaker 1: and it was in the this is a six '
Speaker 1: to three decision. Right. That's striking down for UNC Chapel
Speaker 1: Hill and also or the UNC system and Harvard University,
Speaker 1: the system that they had that was discriminating specifically against Asians,
Speaker 1: which I think made this also very clear because the
Speaker 1: Democrats talk about this and they say, well, what about
Speaker 1: the legacy of slavery and the oppression by law of
Speaker 1: blacks after slavery was finally abolished, and all of that
Speaker 1: is true, All that was wrong and it was a
Speaker 1: stain on this country's history. But it hasn't been the
Speaker 1: case for a long time. And affirmative action goes well
Speaker 1: beyond issues of black and white individuals applying to college.
Speaker 1: It also affects Hispanics, they get points, they get a
Speaker 1: benefit from it. It affects Asians, they get negative points,
Speaker 1: if you will, They get treated also as though as
Speaker 1: though Asian is an ethnicity. Think about how obtuse that is.
Speaker 1: This actually came up in I believe it was the
Speaker 1: Robert's opinion of the court, the notion that in Asian
Speaker 1: is in Asian when you're talking for the purposes of
Speaker 1: college admissions, when you're including in that massive land mass,
Speaker 1: someone from South Korea is treated as being, you know,
Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes of college admission, very similar
Speaker 1: to somebody from Pakistan. Right, someone from Kazakhstan is in
Speaker 1: the same category as somebody from Vietnam, somebody from China,
Speaker 1: somebody from India. I mean, you start to look at
Speaker 1: this and you say, that's just completely insane. The difference
Speaker 1: is you find people that are as different as any
Speaker 1: groups of people around the world. Under Asia as an
Speaker 1: overall overarching concept, it's absurd. What the left has been
Speaker 1: doing is wrong, and everybody knows it. But now they're
Speaker 1: upset about it. Now it's all, oh, but what about
Speaker 1: all the discrimination that's going to continue? You there's also
Speaker 1: the perception that was rooted in the reality that anybody
Speaker 1: of a certain ethnicity who graduated from the most elite
Speaker 1: colleges may well have receive tremendous benefit in the application process.
Speaker 1: And that means that people look at them and they
Speaker 1: think differently. Right, if you see a Native American who
Speaker 1: went to Harvard, you think to your look at Elizabeth
Speaker 1: Warren faking being a Native American? Why did she do that?
Speaker 1: Right so she could teach at Harvard. But you look
Speaker 1: at somebody who's Native American and you say to yourself.
Speaker 1: A lot of people would say to themselves, I wonder
Speaker 1: what that person actually got in the SATs. I wonder
Speaker 1: what benefit he or she may have gotten in the
Speaker 1: application process. And what's fascinating is that the left say
Speaker 1: how dare you? And you say, well, how dare I?
Speaker 1: Is that what's going on or not? You see what
Speaker 1: they want to do is they want to change standards
Speaker 1: because they say it is necessary to change standards, but
Speaker 1: were not allowed to point out that they're changing standards.
Speaker 1: And this is the game they play at a whole
Speaker 1: range of different things. They do this also with the
Speaker 1: military with male and female. Right, we're not changing the
Speaker 1: standards so that women can be in combat roles. They
Speaker 1: always end up changing the standards. And then when you
Speaker 1: say you guys are changing the standards, you know what
Speaker 1: they do? They say, why are you a bigot? Or
Speaker 1: why are you a sexist? Or you're a bad person
Speaker 1: because they can't win on the argument because it's emotional
Speaker 1: for them. It's the political tribalism of my side wants
Speaker 1: to do this, so it doesn't matter what's true. I
Speaker 1: have to push for my side. That is their approach
Speaker 1: to this full stop. That is the full on reality.
Speaker 1: So I think it's important that we understand what's really
Speaker 1: going on here. Affirmative action is not done and over
Speaker 1: with as a result of this. Harvard has already pointed
Speaker 1: out that there's some loophole they're going to try to
Speaker 1: use here of people writing about their battles with racism.
Speaker 1: And this is what I would advise for people applying
Speaker 1: to colleges all across the country now who for elite
Speaker 1: schools in particular, slightly less of an issue for schools
Speaker 1: that have a sixty or seventy percent acceptance rate, right,
Speaker 1: but for schools that have a three percent or five
Speaker 1: percent acceptance rate or whatever. My advice would be, come
Speaker 1: up with a narrative that will work. Talk about your
Speaker 1: struggles with racism. It doesn't matter what race you are,
Speaker 1: how they're gonna know. Just come up with something. Come
Speaker 1: up with some story. Use this as an opportunity to
Speaker 1: get into the gears of this discriminatory system and bring
Speaker 1: the whole thing to a halt. Because if they're going
Speaker 1: to say, well, now you don't have to submit your SATs,
Speaker 1: don't submit your SATs, and talk about your struggles with
Speaker 1: whatever whatever you think is is gonna work. They can't
Speaker 1: get inside your head. That's what this is all about anyway,
Speaker 1: because they're telling you very clearly, well, you know, what's
Speaker 1: more important that you got great grades and we're a
Speaker 1: leader in your class and or a you know, a
Speaker 1: stellar athlete, et cetera, et cetera, or you check a
Speaker 1: box for us that allows us to have more diversity
Speaker 1: in the classroom. Either play the system or let the
Speaker 1: system play you So I think people should game the
Speaker 1: system for college admissions now and every way they can
Speaker 1: without fully crossing ethical lines as in forging transcripts or
Speaker 1: anything like that. You can't do that. But you're talking
Speaker 1: about an essay. You can talk about your struggles with
Speaker 1: you know whatever, or you had to overcome you know,
Speaker 1: you know who's gonna see this as college admissions. Commuite
Speaker 1: be like I was struggling with my gender identity and
Speaker 1: I finally whatever, Right, all of a sudden, you have
Speaker 1: some guys, you know, the captain of the ice hockey
Speaker 1: team or something. It was like, Yeah, I struggle with
Speaker 1: my gender identity a lot in high school, but now
Speaker 1: I'm at Now I'm at Yale, So who cares? Right,
Speaker 1: That's the only way that I see this really going
Speaker 1: away is you have to bring You have to really
Speaker 1: use Sawolynski style tactics, use the tactics of the enemy
Speaker 1: against the enemy. Mess up the system, do what you
Speaker 1: can to bring the whole thing to it. Because it's wrong,
Speaker 1: and we know it's wrong. It's been declared unconstitutional. This
Speaker 1: isn't just a theory anymore. This is the reality of
Speaker 1: what's happening all across the country in college admissions, and
Speaker 1: we also have to see that it extends beyond college
Speaker 1: omissions to hiring. You should not be able to hire
Speaker 1: somebody or give preference in hiring because of skin color
Speaker 1: or anything else, you know, gender identity, you name it.
Speaker 1: That shouldn't be legally either. It's a violation of the
Speaker 1: fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution. Now some of these are
Speaker 1: going to have to be adjudicated further in the courts,
Speaker 1: that's for sure, but the principle has been established and
Speaker 1: it's clear who's on the right side of this one,
Speaker 1: and it's not the Libs. It's not the libs. JFK
Speaker 1: Junior did nine push ups everybody, Sorry RFK Junior, pardon me,
Speaker 1: nine pushups? Everyone freaked out. Guy's shirtless and jeans. Like
Speaker 1: I've been saying, doesn't like what's in the vaccines, But
Speaker 1: what else is this guy taking? Just putting it out there.
Speaker 1: But people are telling me, Oh, he's great, He's talking
Speaker 1: about all these things that make so much sense. I've
Speaker 1: like some of what he said, to be clear, and
Speaker 1: I've been consistent on that. He's excellent on the vaccine,
Speaker 1: a COVID vaccine issue and COVID lockdowns, said some smart
Speaker 1: things about the border to send, some reasonable things about
Speaker 1: gun control as well. But where is he on affirmative
Speaker 1: action and what does that tell us about his philosophy.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second. For those of
Speaker 1: you who are AREFK junior fans, you're gonna want to
Speaker 1: stay around for this one. Look, these days have the
Speaker 1: longest daylight hours of the year, so much can get
Speaker 1: done if you have the energy, right, But you got
Speaker 1: to have that energy, and for a lot of people
Speaker 1: that starts to become harder as you get older because
Speaker 1: you're just biochemistry is different. So that's why you should
Speaker 1: try Chalk's Male Vitality Stack. This awesome nutritional supplement has
Speaker 1: a leading ingredient that's proven to effectively replenish testosterone levels
Speaker 1: for men. That's essential because that's the inner fuel that
Speaker 1: provides our energy and so much else. It's a simple equation.
Speaker 1: Higher testosterone levels equals more energy, drive and focus. Chalk
Speaker 1: understands that some studies show the average guy today has
Speaker 1: only fifty percent of the testosteron of guys fifty years ago.
Speaker 1: It's diminished a lot. But yeah, sure, diet, stress, environmental
Speaker 1: factors is a lot going on there, but the leading
Speaker 1: ingredient in Chalk's male Vitality Stack replenishes twenty percent testosterone

Speaker 1: name Buck for thirty five percent off. All right, Look,
Speaker 1: so so r you know RFK Junior Like, I saw
Speaker 1: the push up video and everything else, and I like
Speaker 1: that people are hearing a different perspective from a Democrat.
Speaker 1: But I'm here to say he's still a Democrat. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe we can get him to come a little bit
Speaker 1: more on the side of the righteous and the conservative
Speaker 1: and the right wing here, but he's still a Democrat.
Speaker 1: And you see this with his recent Oh, people can
Speaker 1: get mad at me, but I called this from the beginning.
Speaker 1: I said, guys, people say, oh, he should run with
Speaker 1: Trump and there's a unity ticket here. I say, hold
Speaker 1: on a second run with Trump? What does he think
Speaker 1: about a whole range of things, right, not even just
Speaker 1: one or two things. What do you think about a
Speaker 1: whole range of things. Well, we shall see here he
Speaker 1: is in the aftermath of the affirmative action decision. He
Speaker 1: wrote on Twitter regarding the Supreme Court banning affirmative action
Speaker 1: and higher ed. I know many Americans feel that purely
Speaker 1: race based decisions are unfair. However, this feeling misses important context.
Speaker 1: The effects of racist policies going back centuries are now
Speaker 1: self perpetuating. Affirmative action understands this and uses race based
Speaker 1: policies to undo the effects of racist policies. Colorblind admissions
Speaker 1: tend to favor those who are already in the circle
Speaker 1: of privilege, favors those who grew up in affluent, educated households.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you like to invite in those who have been
Speaker 1: left out in the cold. He's just wrong on this,
Speaker 1: He's just wrong. I don't know how else to say
Speaker 1: it more clearly than that this is an incorrect take
Speaker 1: on what the realities of affirmative action really are. Because,
Speaker 1: as I've said, Asians pay the price for including recent
Speaker 1: Asian immigrants, pay the price for what America did one
Speaker 1: hundred years ago, on hundred and fifty years ago. Really,
Speaker 1: that's how we're gonna go Yeah, that's that's the way
Speaker 1: this goes. Now, new African immigrants to this country get
Speaker 1: the benefit of affirmative action if you come here from Nigeria,
Speaker 1: for example, if you come to America from from Ghana
Speaker 1: or Zimbabwe or South Africa, or you know, wherever you
Speaker 1: as applying here, get the benefit of affirmative action as
Speaker 1: a black person applying to you know, to college. Obviously
Speaker 1: are non black people in Africa too, but assuming you
Speaker 1: actually are black, you get the benefit of affirmative action
Speaker 1: even though you would have experienced no discrimination in per se, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not something you usually think about the
Speaker 1: context of black Africans in Africa. They're usually not experiencing
Speaker 1: in the countries that I'm naming, certainly, you know, any
Speaker 1: more discrimination. So then how can you justify this? Well,
Speaker 1: you can't because it makes no sense. Why do Hispanics
Speaker 1: get so much affirma of action because there's not enough
Speaker 1: of them in the elite schools. Well, the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: had said for a long time, we can't have quotas.
Speaker 1: Quotas are not okay because quotas clearly show that there's
Speaker 1: a tremendous weight put on superficial skin color diversity. So
Speaker 1: what they did is they said, okay, well you can
Speaker 1: have a quota, but you can basically have a stealth quota.
Speaker 1: You know, you you can have a holistic application process
Speaker 1: or whatever where you can look at a whole range
Speaker 1: of factors. That's just an invitation for quotas by another name.
Speaker 1: And that's what we've had. That's what they've done. They've
Speaker 1: got they've got to make sure they get the numbers
Speaker 1: they want to get, and so they pretend that they're
Speaker 1: looking at things holistically. But you know, RFK Junior is
Speaker 1: wrong on this one. He's just wrong on this one. Now,
Speaker 1: it's okay to be wrong on a few things. Everyone's
Speaker 1: wrong on a few things. I mean, I'm even wrong
Speaker 1: once in a very very rare while. But I just
Speaker 1: think it's important to note that he's a Democrat, my friends,
Speaker 1: and that means that our whole range of issues, he
Speaker 1: sees the world differently than conservatives do. Now, we can
Speaker 1: praise him for the areas where he is sound, reasonable, rational,
Speaker 1: agrees with us. Those things usually all go together, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that we should overlook the fact that
Speaker 1: if you want him to be president, right, if someone
Speaker 1: says hey, Buck, we should listen to r FFK Junior
Speaker 1: more on public safety. When it comes to vaccines and
Speaker 1: the FDA and everything, I say, yeah, great, absolutely, let's
Speaker 1: hear him out. Let's let's look at these things that
Speaker 1: he's talking about. Right, I don't I don't have deep
Speaker 1: expertise in vaccines that don't pretend to. I know the
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine was preposterous compared to what they said it
Speaker 1: would be able to do. I know that they should
Speaker 1: have never mandated it. That was totalitarian, and I know
Speaker 1: that RFK Junior saw that. So I'm with him on
Speaker 1: those things. But when people are saying, well, I think
Speaker 1: I might vote I mean Republicans are saying I might
Speaker 1: vote for him for president, I go w wehll well,
Speaker 1: Hold on a second, Hold hold on a second. Where
Speaker 1: is he on the economy, Where is he on the
Speaker 1: pro life issues? Where is he on you know, you
Speaker 1: go down the list. He's a Democrat. He's probably on
Speaker 1: the wrong side of most of those issues. I would
Speaker 1: I would guess. I don't know, but I'm not sure
Speaker 1: he really knows. Maybe he's transitioning, there's that word more
Speaker 1: to our side. So we shall have to see but
Speaker 1: a little skepticism of some of these things I think
Speaker 1: always serves us well. Talk about the best movies for
Speaker 1: Independence Day weekend, give you something fun to think about
Speaker 1: for the weekend as we head out. The value for
Speaker 1: life savings and retirement accounts is dependent in part on
Speaker 1: our stock market. Take into account what affects our stock
Speaker 1: market performance, and just think, do you want to put
Speaker 1: all your marbles in one basket? Not the way to
Speaker 1: do it. That's why owning gold right now, at this
Speaker 1: point in time, makes so much sense. Gold is good.
Speaker 1: The value in stability of gold is both an investment
Speaker 1: and a hedge against inflation. Has been proven time and again.
Speaker 1: So has my precious metals vender of choice, the Oxford
Speaker 1: Gold Group, since I started investing in speaking of Oxford
Speaker 1: four years ago, their advice and direction has been proven
Speaker 1: right repeatedly. Call the Oxford Gold Group. It's who I use,

Speaker 1: b uck or two waight two five give them a call,
Speaker 1: please go check it out. All right, now I am
Speaker 1: looking at something I thought was really really interesting, and
Speaker 1: it is that Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was
Speaker 1: released thirty four years ago. This is from the Twitter
Speaker 1: handle All the Right Movies thirty four years ago. Today.
Speaker 1: I do think as a movie standalone, it is the
Speaker 1: best of the Indiana Jones trilogy. Now I get it.
Speaker 1: Some of you are gonna say, how dare you turn
Speaker 1: your back on on the Raiders of a Lost Ark,
Speaker 1: which started the whole thing, which was a great movie.
Speaker 1: I would argue that Indiana Jones the first three forget
Speaker 1: about the it's only three. We don't even talk about
Speaker 1: the other ones. Indiana Jones, the first three movies are
Speaker 1: it's among the best four or five trilogies ever made,
Speaker 1: one of the among the best because even Temple of
Speaker 1: Doom is very watchable for what it is, very watchable film.
Speaker 1: But that's a great and it's a fantastic you know
Speaker 1: popcorn movie. Go with the family, Go on the weekends.
Speaker 1: I mean, they used to make these great movies. They
Speaker 1: don't really make them like this anymore. But I was
Speaker 1: thinking about Independence Day weekend movies, things released like this
Speaker 1: was released right before Independence Day, things released on it.
Speaker 1: And also that have to do with it. If you're
Speaker 1: talking about something that is in the Independence Day genre,
Speaker 1: well there's Independence Day, the movie with the Aliens, which
Speaker 1: is which is a fun. Look, I'm just gonna it's
Speaker 1: a fun watch. It's preposterous, but it's a fun watch.
Speaker 1: Not just preposterous because the alien invasion thing, I can,
Speaker 1: I can suspend disbelief on that one. But just the
Speaker 1: way the whole movie moves along, it's kind of but
Speaker 1: it's fun. I like it. I'm not hating on it.
Speaker 1: You know, Pullman and Smith do a very good job.
Speaker 1: Jeff Goldbloom is, isn't he it? Yeah, Jeff gold blooms
Speaker 1: in it. Jeff Goldbloom. But it's very good. And then
Speaker 1: what else do I have on the list here? The Patriot,
Speaker 1: Mel Gibson. Great watch for Independence weekend, Jaws. Think about
Speaker 1: it that Jaws has a whole Fourth of July subplot
Speaker 1: to it. Right, They're gonna keep the beaches open of
Speaker 1: the fourth of July because they need to. So, if
Speaker 1: we're looking at all in the best, I think that
Speaker 1: if it's a movie that was released, I'm sorry, a
Speaker 1: movie that has to do with Independence Day, Jaws is
Speaker 1: probably the best. Also, I want you to be clean
Speaker 1: shaven and get the best shave possible wherever you go.
