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. Welcome to the Buck Brief.
Speaker 1: We have a House bill to prevent a government shutdown
Speaker 1: to continue funding out the government with the new speaker.
Speaker 1: Meet the new speaker. Is he the same as the
Speaker 1: old speaker? Pretty much? We'll discuss that. Plus, Eric Adams
Speaker 1: in New York City is telling parents that they may
Speaker 1: have to volunteer for safety duty at schools because of
Speaker 1: budget cuts, because there's billions of dollars going to migrants
Speaker 1: who aren't supposed to be in the city in the
Speaker 1: first place. That's what you get for being a sanctuary city.
Speaker 1: And then Jeff Bezos with the cringiest photos of his
Speaker 1: love affair with this woman Lauren Sanchez all over the place.
Speaker 1: There's some life lessons that I see in all this.
Speaker 1: You could be one of the richest men on the planet,
Speaker 1: one of the most successful men of the planet, and
Speaker 1: well you're still a guy at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: and you still.
Speaker 2: Have the same weaknesses and vanity and everything else.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about all this, but let's start
Speaker 1: because This is first and foremost but politics with the
Speaker 1: House of Representatives working together. The new speaker Mike Johnson,
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson who replaced Kevin McCarthy, he has come out
Speaker 1: now and worked with the Democrats to fund the government
Speaker 1: for a while. So you have people that are upset
Speaker 1: about this because he did really what McCarthy did. He
Speaker 1: parted with Democrats to pass funding bill, no spending cuts. Now,
Speaker 1: I know what people are going to say, Oh, he
Speaker 1: just got this budget. He just started in the job. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: here's the real prize. And by the way, I'm not
Speaker 1: some big McCarthy guy. I was. If you listened to
Speaker 1: the radio show today, we actually had on uh we
Speaker 1: had on Congressman Burchett. Burchett I believe, who says that
Speaker 1: he got elbowed in the ribs by McCarthy the Capitol.
Speaker 1: That's not very nicer, elbowed in the kidney. Even I'm
Speaker 1: not some McCarthy fan by any stretch. But the real
Speaker 1: problem is this, the American people don't want spending cuts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, isn't that isn't that something You hear it
Speaker 1: and you go, oh, buck, that's not true that there
Speaker 1: are all these people who want spending cuts, they say
Speaker 1: they do, but it's a lot like losing weight. You know,
Speaker 1: I could have a six pack. I could, I could
Speaker 1: get down to the ten percent or so body fat
Speaker 1: that I would need to be able to show some
Speaker 1: abdominal muscle. I am quite aways from that right now.
Speaker 1: I could do it, and I want to do it.
Speaker 1: I want to do it, but you know what I
Speaker 1: don't want to do. Stop eating cookies a night while
Speaker 1: I'm watching TV before I go to bed. What I
Speaker 1: don't want to do. Make working out a bigger priority
Speaker 1: than sleeping in sometimes. You know what I don't want
Speaker 1: to do. Give up eating what I really want to
Speaker 1: eat at a restaurant. And so I can tell you
Speaker 1: until I am completely out of breath. Oh, I want
Speaker 1: to lose weight, but I don't want to really, because
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do the things necessary. The people
Speaker 1: who say they want spending cuts, they say they want
Speaker 1: spending cuts. Then you go, what can you cut? And
Speaker 1: they say, oh, well you can't touch entitlements. That's not okay.
Speaker 1: We paid into those, even though the system is a scam.
Speaker 1: It's a Ponzi scheme. You take out more than you
Speaker 1: pay in. At least most people do. So that's not good. Okay,
Speaker 1: So then what are we allowed to cut funding to Ukraine?
Speaker 1: All right? I mean a few billion. We're thirty three
Speaker 1: trillion in the hole, so sure you want to cut
Speaker 1: one hundred billion next year. I guess that would be
Speaker 1: something we could do. It's not going to change anything.
Speaker 1: You're noticing what I'm putting down here, noticing what we're
Speaker 1: really seeing. I mean, what was the debt? Let's play
Speaker 1: a little game. What was the national debt back in
Speaker 1: twenty ten when the Tea Party was raging? Thirteen trillion?
Speaker 1: Thirteen trillion? Now it is thirty three. So we had
Speaker 1: big rallies and marches in the streets because people are
Speaker 1: upset about government spending under Obama, as they should have
Speaker 1: been at thirteen trillion. Now we're at thirty trillion. It's
Speaker 1: kind of just like, what smoke them? If you got them?
Speaker 1: You know, what are you gonna do? We're not going
Speaker 1: to stop this. There's no will to stop this. Oh,
Speaker 1: you say you want to raise the retirement age, people
Speaker 1: will vote you out of office. You're going to do
Speaker 1: means testing for medicare, people are going to vote you
Speaker 1: out of office. You're going to do any of these things,
Speaker 1: anything that would actually means testing for Social Security out
Speaker 1: of office. That's the American people speaking. So you know,
Speaker 1: we can play this game and everyone does of blaming,
Speaker 1: Oh I want to cut the spending. I want to
Speaker 1: cut the spending. At least now, no one takes the
Speaker 1: government shutdown threats seriously, or we're gonna shut the government down.
Speaker 1: We're gonna shut the No, no they're not. And if
Speaker 1: they do, they're gonna do it for a couple of
Speaker 1: days and then they're gonna wimp out and they're gonna say,
Speaker 1: you know, this was a waste of our time.
Speaker 2: Oh they won't say that, but that's what we'll say people.
Speaker 1: That are watching it. So, yeah, the new speaker just
Speaker 1: work with Democrats to fund the government. Okay, he's new,
Speaker 1: So next time he's really going to make a big stand. No,
Speaker 1: not really, not really. So nothing really big is going
Speaker 1: to get done this year anyway, because Democrats don't have
Speaker 1: I mean, Republicans don't have the Senate. Democrats do, and
Speaker 1: they don't have the White House. So expectations should be low.
Speaker 1: All along. Lower your expectations. That should be the real,
Speaker 1: the real political mantra we have in this country that
Speaker 1: would help a lot. But in the meantime, I just
Speaker 1: think we should be honest about the fact that we
Speaker 1: don't really want We don't want the debt to be lower.
Speaker 1: We do want better towels, however, and the new My
Speaker 1: pillow My towels are amazing. So my pillow company makes
Speaker 1: these my towels one hundred percent long staple sure pier cotton.

Speaker 1: Eric Adams, who had his cell phone seized by the FBI, Okay,
Speaker 1: when they're not busy harassing parents, you know, they're finding
Speaker 1: ways for being at school board meetings stuff like that.
Speaker 1: They find ways to, you know, be I don't know,
Speaker 1: making sure that Eric Adams is not doing favors for
Speaker 1: the government of Turkey or something. When they're not chasing
Speaker 1: down J six protesters as though there have been laden
Speaker 1: you know, the FBI is seizing Eric Adams his phone
Speaker 1: to make sure that he didn't do a favor for
Speaker 1: the Consulate of Turkey or something like that and got
Speaker 1: some money for his campaign. Let's talk about this for
Speaker 1: a second, shall we. Adams has said that here you go,
Speaker 1: parents might have to volunteer to keep Big Apple schools
Speaker 1: safe after hundreds of newly trained safety agents were cut
Speaker 1: that it was quickly ripped by some parents who said,
Speaker 1: it's not my job. According to The New York Post,
Speaker 1: here we're gonna be leaning into parents and parent groups
Speaker 1: to hear some volunteerism. We're gonna get crisis management team going.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be straining at a very high level to
Speaker 1: get this done correctly. Parents off at the idea, saying, quote,
Speaker 1: it's not my job or any parents job to have
Speaker 1: a patrol of the school. That's not why I'm sending
Speaker 1: my job to school. Yeah, yeah, that's right, it's not
Speaker 1: your job. But you know what happens when Democrat policies
Speaker 1: result in billions and billions of dollars going to a
Speaker 1: legal migrant to pay for their food, their housing, their schooling,
Speaker 1: their clothing, everything. You know what happens. You have less
Speaker 1: city services you pay And I lived in New York
Speaker 1: City for many years and paid crazy taxes. You pay
Speaker 1: state and city taxes in New York so that you're
Speaker 1: supposed to have the excellent fire, excellent police, excellent sanitation,
Speaker 1: school system all that and yeah, school safety that's got
Speaker 1: to go. So the kids are going to be less
Speaker 1: safe in school now. It seems I'm not sure how
Speaker 1: effective this Programmerly is to begin with that, I don't
Speaker 1: have to look into it, but asking parents to volunteer
Speaker 1: to be could you imagine, you know, can you imagine
Speaker 1: parents to volunteer.
Speaker 2: Oh man, you know that would be interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean, my dad would have been a good security
Speaker 1: guard back in the day. Those kids would the kids
Speaker 1: would not have wont to step out of line. He
Speaker 1: has two speeds, chill and Conan the Barbarian, So you know,
Speaker 1: he would have been a good security guard for our purposes.
Speaker 1: But this is what happens in a city that doesn't
Speaker 1: doesn't privilege the rights and resources of its actual residents
Speaker 1: from people who are taking advantage of the system. And
Speaker 1: it already is New York City already for the people
Speaker 1: who live there, has a massive welfare state, public housing,
Speaker 1: all kinds of public services that are just paid for
Speaker 1: by the taxpayer, and that burden is overwhelmingly on the
Speaker 1: wealthiest New Yorkers. That's who actually pays the taxes. You'll
Speaker 1: notice I live in Florida now because I got sick
Speaker 1: of that rightly. So look, I often talk to you
Speaker 1: about the chalk male vitality stack. I'm a huge fan
Speaker 1: of the chalk products because if you're looking to improve
Speaker 1: your strength, vitality and just no longer be feeling weak
Speaker 1: and complace in the morning, the chalk mail vitality stacks

Speaker 1: feel better, You're gonna get more out of it, You're
Speaker 1: gonna be very happy that you did. And you know,
Speaker 1: I was talking today. It's interesting. I was talking today
Speaker 1: to Clay about the situation of Netflix having Denzel Washington,
Speaker 1: an actor who I think is a phenomenal talent. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's clearly one of the best actors around on the
Speaker 1: scene playing Hannibal, And you know, I kind of I
Speaker 1: have multiple multiple minds about this, multiple feelings about this. Wait,
Speaker 1: I think I changed topics on you. By the way,
Speaker 1: what was what was the other thing? Oh? Should we
Speaker 1: do Hannibal played by Dennis Denzel rather Denzel Washington? Or
Speaker 1: should we do uh Jeff Bezos? I tease Jeff Bezos,
Speaker 1: So we'll talk Jeff Bezos. Maybe I'll do a Hannibal
Speaker 1: a movie on Netflix, because that's it. I have Livy's
Speaker 1: I was given in the fourth grade. I read it
Speaker 1: actually won a history contest, then gave me vy in
Speaker 1: a history of the War with Hannibal. I'm actually looking
Speaker 1: at it right now, The War with Hannibal Livy on
Speaker 1: my bookshelf, and it's a fascinating period. So I hope
Speaker 1: it's a really good Netflix series or whatever they're gonna
Speaker 1: do with it. But this there's this headline on the
Speaker 1: Daily Mail, tacky, tasteless and a vanity that's out of
Speaker 1: this world. Maureen Callahan Skewers Vogue, New pin Ups, Lauren
Speaker 1: Sanchez and Jeff Bezos as intergalactic egos. You can't read
Speaker 1: their room. So everyone's been sending me this Jeff Bezos
Speaker 1: photo where he's got like a cowboy hat on, and
Speaker 1: Lauren Sanchez is you know, very kind of up close
Speaker 1: and snuggled on to him, and he's in some kind
Speaker 1: of a I don't know, outdoorsy vehicle. And then there's
Speaker 1: just other things. They did, this whole series of photographs,
Speaker 1: you know, and hern a bikini and him leading in
Speaker 1: for it and all this stuff. Look, the stuff that
Speaker 1: affects the mail psyche as I get older, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say, what's on, am I? This stuff that affects
Speaker 1: the mail psyche affects every male psyche in different you know,
Speaker 1: in different ways, but everyone's got the same stuff. Ever,
Speaker 1: every guy's got there, they're insecurity, he's got their parts
Speaker 1: of them that they wish they could change. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think when you're almost the richest man on the planet,
Speaker 1: money no longer has any meaning to you. Like money
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't get you excited or anything like that. Everyone
Speaker 1: basically kisses up to you all the time. You have
Speaker 1: endless access and endless options, you know, with all of
Speaker 1: that going on. What is something that gets you excited?
Speaker 1: You know, for some people it's serving others. For some people,
Speaker 1: it's doing good work. For some people, it's the recognition
Speaker 1: that our time is limited and the more just kindness
Speaker 1: and helpfulness and positivity and building and you know, look,
Speaker 1: and to Jeff Bezos' credit, he's built a trillion dollar company.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know you can't take that away from him.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying people get value and they feel
Speaker 1: their days are worthwhile because of those things. But also,
Speaker 1: you know, a guys, guys out there, you know, whether
Speaker 1: you're twenty five or fifty five, you want to feel
Speaker 1: like you're successful with you know, in love, you know,
Speaker 1: successful with women or a woman, your woman, you know,
Speaker 1: you're you're forever person in this case, his second wife.
Speaker 1: But and I just think that it's it's at some
Speaker 1: level we should all maybe take heart from knowing that
Speaker 1: you can be the richest guy in the world and
Speaker 1: you still just want to be dating some woman who
Speaker 1: looks good in a bikini because you didn't have that
Speaker 1: in your twenties or whatever, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like he was kind of the nerd in high school.
Speaker 1: I would assume. And you know, now you go back
Speaker 1: and look at old Jeff Bezels currently on plenty of
Speaker 1: TRT and everything else. You know, ar it looks like
Speaker 1: a superhero. But Jeff Bezos back in the day, the
Speaker 1: guy's a nerd. His first wife was actually quite pretty.
Speaker 1: But you know, he's successful. God, and I'm talking about
Speaker 1: even like high school age, college age. I don't think
Speaker 1: he got the girl. And I think that just set
Speaker 1: a something in his brain where you know, he just
Speaker 1: wants that, you know, sort of alpha female, you know,
Speaker 1: beauty queen thing if if that makes sense, and he
Speaker 1: wants to be surrounded, but that he wants to be
Speaker 1: with that person. So guys are all guys, no matter
Speaker 1: how rich they are, whether you're sweeping streets or you're
Speaker 1: the CEO of Amazon, guys still have the same A
Speaker 1: lot of them, A lot of them, not all of them,
Speaker 1: of course, have the same challenges insecurities and other things.
Speaker 1: But these photos are very cringey. I will say that,
Speaker 1: you know, something really important that I want to remind
Speaker 1: you of is the Tunnel the Towers Foundation. They do
Speaker 1: such incredible work. These are heroes or these heroes who
Speaker 1: put their lives in line to protect our country in
Speaker 1: our communities deserve our support. Heroes like nine to eleven
Speaker 1: first responder Joseph Mayelo, he answered the call to help
Speaker 1: others on America's darkest day. Then years later, he suffered
Speaker 1: a fatal heart attack in the line of duty, leaving
Speaker 1: behind his wife and two children. When heroes like Lieutenant
Speaker 1: Maelo lose their lives in the line of duty or
Speaker 1: are severely injured, Tunnel the Towers is there to help.
Speaker 1: Tunnel the Towers paid the mortgage and the Mala family home,
Speaker 1: lifting the family's financial burden during their darkest hours. America's
Speaker 1: heroes and their families need your help now more than ever.
