WEBVTT - Buck’s First Thoughts - Brace For The Biden Backlash 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:03.200 This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:05.800 get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:08.520 you subscribe on the iHeart app or wherever you get 0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:15.200 your podcasts. A goodbye, we love you. We will be 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:26.120 back in some form. And again, I wanted just in living. 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.040 I want to thank our Vice President Mike Pence and Karen. 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.040 I want to thank Congress because we really worked well 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:36.559 with Congress. At least certain elements in Congress, but we 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.520 really did. We've gotten so much done that nobody thought 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:41.680 would be possible. But I do want to thank Congress. 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:43.360 I don't want to thank all of the great people 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:47.120 of Washington, DC, all of the people that we worked 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:51.600 with to put this miracle together. So have a good life. 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:55.040 We will see you soon. Thank you, Thank you very much. 0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:58.240 It is the end of an era and the beginning 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.720 of a new one. Donald Trump no longer President of 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:07.240 the United States. Joe Biden sworn in number forty six. 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:12.080 Getting ready for what this means. You should brace now 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:17.080 for the Democrat left backlash. It has been building up 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.280 for four years. I wish I could tell you that 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.760 I thought this moment in time would be one of 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.960 national unity, of coming together of sanity back in government. 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.800 But you wouldn't even believe that if somebody said it 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.280 to you. Do you think that Trump derangement syndrome just 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:37.319 goes away now that Trump is no longer president. Now 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:42.880 it's just Democrat derangement syndrome. Now, this is settling scores, 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:49.040 it's silencing opposing voices, it is crushing descent. That's what 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.800 they're really planning here. That's really the idea behind all 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.960 of this. They have no interest in a third way. 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:01.960 They have no interest in finding a triangulation, a middle ground, 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:06.680 a halfway mark. No, they have control of the House 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.080 of the Senate and of the presidency. And this means 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:11.920 that we are now living in a country that's going 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.960 to feel very different for at least some time. We 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.560 have to be prepared for what this means, for our 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.639 ability to even speak out against this. You are now 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:27.959 going to have ninety five percent of the journalistic establishment 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.920 completely in the pocket of a presidential administration. They warned 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:38.000 us for four years, they screamed and cried about tyranny 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.239 from Trump, when every journalist who opposed him got richer, 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.440 more famous, more time on TV, which is what they 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.079 really want. Those three things. Every journalist who spoke out 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.280 against him was advancing their careers. And we were supposed 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.120 to think that somehow Trump was so much of the 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.880 establishment and so much of the swamp arrayed against it, 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:05.520 was going to seize control, authoritarian power forever. That's what 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.280 they told us. But that didn't happen, did it. Now. 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.920 There was no seizure of power. There was just the 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:19.160 peaceful transition that we've seen. And now we have a 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:24.720 Joe Biden administration that is going to have no pushback 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.360 from the people whose jobs are supposed to be speaking 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:32.920 truth to power. Dissent is no longer patriotic. You can 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.320 be assured of that. In fact, if you disagree with 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.120 the Biden administration, you will be called things like a 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:44.240 COVID denier. You'll be called a white supremacist, a racist, 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:51.120 a mask denier, an insurrectionist. Even they'll throw everything they 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.400 can at you, and you have to be prepared for that. 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.360 This is now the future of this country. This is 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.440 where we are. I'm happy to hear that President Trump 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:07.400 is planning to continue to spread the message and in 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:11.200 some ways may even grow even more powerful in immedia 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.080 sense than he has been up to this point depends 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:18.080 on what choices that what choices he makes. Here he 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.000 is saying he's always going to be in the fight 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:24.360 for us. Play five. I will always fight for you. 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:29.080 I will be watching, I will be listening, and I 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:33.440 will tell you that the future of this country has 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:38.039 never been better. I wish the new administration great luck 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:42.360 and great success. I think they'll have great success. They 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:46.960 have the foundation to do something really spectacular. And again, 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:51.360 we put it in a position like it's never been before, 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:57.479 despite the worst plague to hit since I guess you'd say, 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:02.159 nineteen seventeen, over one hundred years ago. And despite that, 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.320 despite that, the things that we've done have been just incredible. 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.680 And I couldn't have done done it without you. There 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:17.560 will be no honeymoon between Trump supporters and this Biden administration. 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:22.400 It will not exist. They won't allow it to. You've 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.080 already been told that the price of your freedoms, the 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.719 price of your rights, is submit or face the consequences. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:34.679 Submit or be d platformed, be boycotted, have your business destroyed, 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:39.240 your reputation ruined. We are all now supposed to think 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:45.520 that what Joe Biden, this almost eighty year old, middling 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:50.040 mediocrity from Delaware is really going to be the guy 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:54.479 that turns the whole country around. You look at the 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.240 initial things that are being done here, the orders that 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.799 he's putting out, and it's obviously meant to to erase 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.360 what Trump had done as quickly as possible. So that's 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.880 the problem with executive orders. They're only as good as 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:11.320 long as that's the executive you've got. But I'm much 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:16.480 more concerned about a culture now that has at its core, 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.640 a political culture that has at its core not only 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:24.320 are Trump supporters out of power and to be disdained, 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.160 but they are enemies of the state. That's what the 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.560 rhetoric in recent days has been Trump supporters, Trump voters. 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.520 I'm not talking about a few specific radicals. Are a 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:38.080 few specific crazies who have done bad and illegal things, 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.200 and as we know, they exist on both sides of 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.240 the aisle. And there's been a whole lot more of 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.839 that from the left then there has been from the 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.040 right in the last four years. But they will not 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.800 view it that way. Of course, they will not agree 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.440 with us that the left poses now a truth that 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:01.320 threat of authoritarianism. Instead, what are they going to do? 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.360 They're going to leverage the apparatus of the state to 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:09.520 make sure that we can't even discuss what a not 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:15.000 up for the job cognitively declining absurdity Joe Biden is 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.440 and if you even bring this up, they're going to 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.840 say that you're basically the equivalent of somebody who wants 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.560 to overthrow the United States government. The way that they 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:27.640 have approached this the spite you'll notice there's not a 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:31.120 lot of happiness among Democrats. Here and there. You may 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.360 see some celebration. I know today there's pomping circumstances, but 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:39.119 what you're really seeing is a relief that they have 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:45.640 that they can finally unleash their rage. The Democrat mindset 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.680 now instead of being all happy and talking about what 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.160 a great future we're all going to have now that 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:52.440 the media is going to do some of that, to 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.400 be sure, but the overwhelming feeling that they seem to 0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:00.240 be showing all the rest of us is like like 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.920 a dog that has been on a leash and in 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:09.360 a cage that is now let loose to go and 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:14.480 bite whomever. They are angry about what has happened for 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.280 the last four years. They are angry about all the 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.120 terrible things that Trump did, and I wish we hadn't 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.040 had the last three months we had of the Trump 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.880 presidency because it has added a lot of field of 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.880 the fire. It has made things much more difficult, at 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.520 least in the short term, to continue on and support 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.880 a MAGA agenda. I don't even know if that term 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.680 will really be used anymore. People are talking about Trump 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.240 is m without Trump, They're talking about who the future 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.800 of the party may be. I don't believe that's where 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.160 the conversation would be if we had not gone through 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.360 the last three months the way that we had. Just 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:56.840 remember this, at the end of the day, you are 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.520 what you do and what you stand for, and that 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.160 doesn't change because of who the president is. It doesn't 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.760 change because the Democrats manage to squeak out of victory 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:11.160 in the Senate or maintain their control under Nancy Pelosi 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.640 in the House. They can't change who you are, what 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:18.760 you stand for, or what you do. So just stick 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:24.280 to your principles, be patriots, support those who share your 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.520 values and care about the country in the way that 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:31.080 you do, and be prepared for what's coming. This is 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.400 not going to be pleasant. I would be lying to 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.360 you if I've set otherwise. The Democrats are going to 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.400 settle scores, They're going to make examples, they are going 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:45.800 to unleash the wokeness on all of us. But we 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.400 have been through worse and we will get to better times. 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.640 Do not forget that today. And just when you can 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.560 think back to those moments in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen, 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.360 when I would tell listeners of this show, this is 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.640 about as good as it's going to get this country, 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.640 enjoy it. I hope you savored those moments, because now 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.520 we're on the other side of the equation. It's time 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:14.280 to get ready, shields high. This is the Buck Sexton 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:20.319 Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Seventy 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.880 four million Americans ought not to be slandered based on 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.079 the action of a couple thousand who participate in a 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.400 violent mob at the capital two weeks ago. And because 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.840 a violent mob attack the capital two weeks ago, that 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.880 doesn't mean that they should have their view censored. It 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.520 doesn't mean they should be at risk of losing their 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.640 job or having their business boycotted, losing their slots and 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.679 high schools or colleges that choose selectively doesn't mean that 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.560 they should have to pay higher at taxes or open 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.760 their borders or defund their police. That is crazy and 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.760 it is a complete non secretary. But the Democrats realize 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.800 that that agenda is unpopular. But they also have all 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.640 the other commanding heights of our society, from the media, 0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.280 to education to entertainment in their corner. What those equal 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.480 need with those seventy four million people who voted for 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:06.720 the president voted for republicans need are Republicans and conservatives 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.160 in the Congress, in the state legislatures to stand up 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.839 for their rights. And I promise you I will do that, 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.280 let's hope. So it's going to be on all of us. Now, 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.480 that's what I think people are recognizing today. Trump is 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.920 not going to swoop in and save us from the 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:27.800 insane leftist stuff. Trump is not going to be the 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.880 one who's just setting the national news agenda day in 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.480 and day out. He won't be able to slap down 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.959 the fake news with one tweet. Now, it's on all 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:42.400 of us. Sure, he'll have a voice and continue to 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.080 have a lot of people who support him. And but 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.840 it's going to be different now you know that. I 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:53.079 know that, and we are now as a as a 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.920 movement of conservatives. We are now on our own effectively. 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.480 I mean, we could come together, but I'm saying that 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:04.720 we don't have a leader of the Republican Party at 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:09.400 the current moment. We just have to continue to push 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:13.920 and do everything that we can to hold back the 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.520 torrent of madness that I think is going to descend 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.880 upon the country. Remember, it's not only Trump derangement syndrome 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.760 that we have to be aware of. It's also a 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.280 year unlike any other in my lifetime and certainly in 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:31.960 living memory, where we've gone through a global pandemic. People 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.199 are angry. I'll even tell you I'm more short tempered 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.880 than I have been in a long time, just because 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.520 being in a very blue city in a very blue 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.280 state over what's happened in the last twelve months has 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.280 really shown that you will suffer if you let the 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.559 authoritarian left run your life. You will suffer if they 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.080 are in charge. And a lot of people, even if 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.920 they like those policies, have recognized that we've just been 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:02.840 through a miserable year with four hundred thousand COVID deaths, 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:09.600 endless lockdowns, all this shifting advice and mandates about mitigation 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.960 measures all this stuff. It's a lot of anger out there. 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.760 I wish I could say that the Democrat push would 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:22.720 be for one of of prosperity and just joy at 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.000 what is their newfound power now. But I really do 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.600 believe that vengeance is going to be much higher up 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.719 on the mind of a lot of the political operatives, 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:34.120 the senior administration officials. I hope I'm wrong. You know, 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.199 there are some things where I can tell you straight up, 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.560 my fondest wish is that what I'm telling you turns 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:43.679 out to be entirely untrue that Democrats are the bigger men. 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:45.240 So are we even allowed to say, oh, the bigger 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:49.679 men are the bigger non gender specific, non binary, gender 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:56.760 non specific people, the bigger that they're the bigger Homo sapiens. 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.640 Is that what we're allowed? What are we to say? 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:05.280 Get ready for a lot of that language policing, a 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:09.719 lot of checking in on the loyalty of government officials 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.880 at also asking more and more questions about who you 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.640 voted for at whatever company you work for, because it's 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.880 not that you were a Republican and voted for Donald Trump, 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.160 it's wait, you supported the insurrectionist. Maybe you need to 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.800 go talk to HR. Wait, you are a company that 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:31.600 advertises on Fox News or a conservative network of some kind, 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.880 maybe you need to be threatened with a boycott. You'll 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.640 notice this didn't happen in twenty sixteen. When Trump came 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.800 into office. It was all right, we got an agenda, 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.400 let's go after it, let's do some things. It's got 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:49.040 some taxes, get some executive orders going. But it wasn't 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:53.560 a purge. Nobody really thought that Democrats were going to 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:58.600 lose their livelihoods, their businesses, their freedoms. The First Amendment 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.520 is under greater assault now that it has been in 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:07.640 my lifetime. There are very intelligent people, very serious observers 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.440 of American life, who were writing about a new war 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:17.160 on terror against conservatives in this country and the expansion 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:21.600 of the police state to encompass what is clearly not 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.920 already criminal activity. Why would they be talking about this, 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.760 Why would they be saying, we need to expand surveillance, 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.160 we need to we need to look at legislation to 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:34.440 address the address what exactly. Everything that happened at the 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.520 Capitol Hill riot that should not have happened, was already 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:42.240 very illegal, and people are facing very long criminal sentences. 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.840 For it. So what exactly has to be addressed, You'll see, 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.240 you'll see who's in charge. You'll see how the deep 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:55.000 state now rises to the surface. It's been operating somewhat 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:56.960 in the shadows for the last four years, but all 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.480 of a sudden, now the people that are going to 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:03.800 be calling the shots will be folks at the CIA 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.360 and the FBI and the EPA and you name it, 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.400 who think that climate change is an existential threat. And 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.600 if you don't sign on to that, there's something wrong 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:16.200 with you. Oh, you you can't be trusted. You don't 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.840 believe that any public policy that we think is necessary 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.160 to address the growing threat of climate change is inherently justified. 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.880 You don't you're not down with that. I don't think 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:30.560 we can trust you anymore. What's so fascinating, of course, 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:35.440 is that the left has created this revisionist history. They 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.320 always talk about McCarthyism. They forget that there were in 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:42.560 fact communist penetrations of the government, and they were all Democrats. 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.560 Just so you know, it was the Democrats that the 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:49.160 communists found their fellow travelers, and it was not staunch 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:53.680 patriotic right wingers. That was not how that happened. But 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:55.680 they talk about it as though this was all just 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.360 a fraud, this was all based in lies, when in 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:02.200 truth there were all there were communist penetrations, including at 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.320 a very high level Soviet penetrations of the United States government. 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:10.639 And now they're going to do the great, the great 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.680 Conservative scare, if you will, right, instead of a Red scare, 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:17.200 the Maga scare. They're going to look to find ways 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.240 to get rid of it because it was also the 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:23.440 Trump culture. It was also those moments where all of 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:27.840 a sudden, people felt like they had a hat to wear, 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.159 a slogan to chant, and people around them who shared 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:35.600 their beliefs and approach politics with them. Joy. If anything, 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.320 that's one of the most powerful legacies of the four 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:43.159 years of Trumpet office. But Democrats want to get rid 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.280 of all of that now. They want to make America 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:50.639 feel shameful for wanting to make America great. This is 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.600 the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Join the conversation and message 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:59.680 buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email team Bucket iHeartMedia dot com. 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.399 They read it on the show. The Trump presidency may 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.640 be drying to a close, but the dysfunction, the corruption, 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:07.760 the authoritarianism, and the moral rot Trump exposed within the 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.320 GOPN and our system will remain and we can't just 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:12.159 let it go. We got to fix it and we 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.560 have to hold accountable to people responsible for it, from 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.200 the top all the way down. Otherwise this four year 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.280 long nightmare we've all lived through could very well happen again. 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.680 Don't you think that if he pardons himself, Sonny, that 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.639 admits that he's guilty, and then when the impeachment and 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.199 the semmate comes up, what are they supposed to do 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.080 with that? They have to convict him. He himself is 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:36.879 saying I'm guilty, absolutely, absolutely, But his defense, I think, 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:38.960 is going to be, well, this is a witch hunt. 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:40.919 This is a witch hunt against me, so of course 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.760 I have to try to pardon myself because everyone's out 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:48.000 against against me. And guess what, seventy four million people 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.320 are going to believe that because they've been brainwashed. Joy 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.199 I really believe that they have been brainwashed by this 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:59.919 misinformation campaign over the past four years. Can't you feel old? 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:04.400 The healing and the unity? Oh, these Democrats they want 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.600 to let bygones be bygones, don't they They want to 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.720 just be friends now, They want to get along and 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:14.720 everything's gonna be just fine. Not so much the idea 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:17.159 that they're gonna hold people accountable. They're really sticking to 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:19.520 this one, aren't they. And I think they're gonna they're 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:22.800 gonna try. That just means vindictiveness. It means find your 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:27.200 political enemies and make their lives difficult, make them miserable, 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.399 do whatever you have to do to punish them for 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:34.760 wrong think. Remember they're saying Trump is the authoritarian, they've 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:39.679 had a peaceful trans transfer of power. Republicans are saying, Okay, 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.040 Joe Biden's the president. We're not doing the Russias stole 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:45.480 the election thing. That's what they did for four years. 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:50.439 Republicans now said, all right, you know, Electoral College certified, 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.119 it's done, it's over with. I know there was the 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.240 right of Capitol Hill and it was awful, and we 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:59.040 see now just how much the left is using that 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:03.480 awful incident try to bash all Trump supporters. But now 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:05.840 now we're we're where they said they wanted to be, 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:12.200 with the Democrats in charge of everything, basically, and sure enough, 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.400 instead of saying we're just gonna show you guys what 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:19.160 good governance looks like, it's let's go find people who 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:23.560 need to be punished. Let's blacklist them from jobs, Let's 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.360 prevent them from being able to speak online. I mean 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.199 the social media and the tech purge. I think it's 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:31.719 only gonna get worse because now they've got cover from 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:35.080 the federal government. Now they've got people at the very 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.280 top of the government hierarchy. You're gonna say, yeah, that's 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:43.880 how the First Amendment works. Crush people that you don't like. Great. Oh, oh, 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.760 I'm sorry. Companies can do whatever they want. They say 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:50.159 for this, but go bake that cake and write on 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:52.640 it whatever. Whatever. The person who wants the cake tells 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:54.760 you to write on it. You have to do that. 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:56.760 If you have if you have to write there is 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.879 no God. God is false, you have to write that 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.919 on a birthday cake. You better do that or else. 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.160 Oh I'm so oh that's a first to oh wait 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:09.800 what Oh, companies or private individuals can't do whatever they 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.080 want in their business. It turns out, isn't that interesting. 0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:17.640 It's not quite that clear. The expansion of the term 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:22.280 insurrection now to include just saying things that the Democrats 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:25.919 don't like. This will be abused. They're doing this for 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:29.080 a reason. It's not just some catharsis because they have 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:33.960 all this pent up, just this this bile. They're overflowing 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.560 with it after four years of Trump. They can't help themselves. 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:39.560 I mean, Sonny Houston. They're on the view saying Trump 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:43.959 Trump supporters have been brainwashed. They just Democrats just voted 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:48.800 for Joe Biden to be president. I don't care that 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:53.240 he is president. He's a loser. We all know it. 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.480 This is not an impressive person. This is not a 0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:59.439 person with leadership skills. This is a guy who just 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:02.240 showed up and did what he had to do to 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:06.320 play the system and contribute very little for a very 0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:10.800 long time. But they could make him president because he 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.520 wasn't what the Democrat Party really is. Don't you see? 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.760 The whole thing is a head fake. Joe Biden isn't 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:20.840 really symbolic of what the Democrat Party's all about. Now. 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:26.200 He's not woke, he's not leftist, he's not radical, but 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:29.280 he's also not really anything. So he'll do whatever the 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:33.040 woke leftist want him to where and when he can, 0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:38.600 and he gives he gives the corporations less anxiety because 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.000 big tech and big companies are gonna be just fine 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:45.320 under a Biden presidency. Oh here, Amazon, Google. You know, 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:49.760 if you're you're somebody that's you know, that's a that's 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:53.159 a winning proposition. I'm sure if you've got investments in 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:56.400 some of these major companies out there under a Biden presidency, 0:22:56.440 --> 0:23:00.840 they're gonna do just fine. Small business has been decimated 0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:04.200 by the pandemic and the lockdowns that Democrats have largely pushed, 0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:07.760 and it's not going to come back because small business 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:12.240 is too autonomous. There's too much liberty involved in somebody 0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:16.000 running their own commercial venture, providing products or services to 0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:19.280 a public that wants them in a lawful and productive 0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:24.440 Fashion's that they don't. They want megacorporations that can have 0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:28.520 D and I specialists and on every floor of the building. 0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:33.560 They're gonna want HR departments to be the shock troops 0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:37.000 of wokeism, and they're gonna get it. They're going to 0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:41.560 pass federal legislation and executive orders that create these new 0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:44.960 concepts around equity. You know what equity is. We tell 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:47.800 people what they get and we tell other people what 0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:51.639 they don't get based on ethnicity, gender, skin color, you 0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:55.720 name it. That's right, that's what we're definitely heading for. 0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:59.920 Never mind of course, the likelihood here that we may 0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:04.080 have a major challenge facing a Biden administration that has 0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:07.840 Joe Biden in charge. This guy just isn't up for 0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:10.760 the job. And I know that he won, or you know, 0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:13.560 I know that he's president, and he's not up for 0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:17.480 the job. So what does that mean? Make note now 0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:23.240 of how journalists and the the corporate media will sneer, 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:27.160 They will sneer at anyone who even raises the prospect 0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:33.640 of Kamala Harris taking over for Joe Biden. And yet 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:37.120 I think we all understand that there's a very serious 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:41.800 possibility just based on age. It's this isn't some outlandish theory. 0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:43.720 I mean, the guy is gonna be eighty by the 0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:48.240 mid terms, you know, so we're gonna have somebody who's 0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:52.119 getting into his early and then mid eighties, especially if 0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:55.159 he goes into a second term. Come on, now, Kamal 0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:58.640
