Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt riots in Minneapolis, Minnesota
Speaker 1: because of the killing of George Floyd. Cuomo blames the
Speaker 1: nursing homes. What is Governor Whitmer of Michigan doing about
Speaker 1: nursing homes in the midst of COVID nineteen plus? Can
Speaker 1: the Deep State hang on until twenty twenty one and
Speaker 1: Biden has another Biden is m coming up? Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence mag
Speaker 1: no mistake, A great You're a great American again. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show. Thomas CIA analysts Again. I
Speaker 1: can speak to three hours without a phone call. Try
Speaker 1: doing that sometime. No, welcome everybody, Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for joining me. It was troubling, to say the least,
Speaker 1: last night as the video was circulating all over social
Speaker 1: media of what was going on in Minneapolis. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm so frustrated. Yesterday I was saying, I think this
Speaker 1: is going to start another another movement like we've seen
Speaker 1: in the past in the aftermath of violence involving a
Speaker 1: police officer. This, this case is this is a bad one.
Speaker 1: I mean, this one is not. This is not a
Speaker 1: situation in which I feel like we have to get
Speaker 1: a lot more information before. Now that's different from the
Speaker 1: legal process that the officer involved deserves. You know, even
Speaker 1: a even a mass murderer under our constitution, gets a
Speaker 1: legal process. My friends, Now the officer is not a
Speaker 1: mass murderer. But you understand what I'm saying. Everyone gets
Speaker 1: a a gets their due process, gets a fair process.
Speaker 1: That said, the video is enough that this is a
Speaker 1: wrong that was done. People see this across the country
Speaker 1: and they recognize how terrible it is. They understand that
Speaker 1: this requires justice. The officers have already been fired. The
Speaker 1: mayor of Minneapolis is almost in tears talking about the case.
Speaker 1: It's a gut punch to everybody I know who's watching it.
Speaker 1: I had right wing conservatives in the media texting me
Speaker 1: just to be like, did you see this video? This
Speaker 1: is terrible and instead of viewing this now, look there
Speaker 1: there's going to be this game the media plays of
Speaker 1: pretending that that protests and riots are kind of similar
Speaker 1: or you can't really differentiate. No, a protest is a
Speaker 1: constitutionally protected act, and the right to protest is something
Speaker 1: that we should all respect. Oh, that's right, even when
Speaker 1: there's COVID nineteen, even when the government is telling you
Speaker 1: that they have some other compelling interest to prevent you
Speaker 1: from being able to protest. It is a constitutional right.
Speaker 1: They don't get to just suspend it because they're worried
Speaker 1: about the spread of COVID nineteen. They're not able to
Speaker 1: They're not allowed to do that, although they have been
Speaker 1: doing it, so I mean they shouldn't be able to
Speaker 1: do it, is what I what I mean by this,
Speaker 1: And the protests in Minneapolis would certainly be warranted, although
Speaker 1: there's really no movement against justice for the family here
Speaker 1: of George Floyd. There's no movement of people that are saying, oh, well,
Speaker 1: this was I have not heard a single person claim
Speaker 1: that this video was not terrible and that the officers
Speaker 1: should not be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Speaker 1: What does looting have to do with any of this?
Speaker 1: You know, why do we have to pretend, for I'm
Speaker 1: raising as a society that people going in to a
Speaker 1: target or going into an auto zone. I mean, I
Speaker 1: was watching these videos circulating last night. This is a
Speaker 1: Minneapolis not not a place that you think of as
Speaker 1: high crime or a place that that has to deal
Speaker 1: with with problems like this. You know, this is appalling
Speaker 1: to watch. You have these stores that are are being
Speaker 1: looted and burned to the ground. People are actually burning
Speaker 1: them to the ground. There was one video of a
Speaker 1: guy running around during the looting with a chainsaw. And
Speaker 1: yet you have these social justice advocates and the people
Speaker 1: that make a living from fanning the flames of racial
Speaker 1: division and grievance, who, if not openly advocating for the looting,
Speaker 1: always find a way to make it seem less awful
Speaker 1: or to make it seem less completely unjustifiable by saying, well,
Speaker 1: people are rightly angry about this. You have a right
Speaker 1: to be angry. You don't have a right to burn
Speaker 1: down your own neighborhood. You don't have a right to
Speaker 1: destroy the property of individuals who have absolutely nothing to
Speaker 1: do with these cops and what they did. You know,
Speaker 1: if if you take if you believe injustice and you
Speaker 1: think that individual actions are not are not the foundational
Speaker 1: you know, the central issue that the individual either doing
Speaker 1: or not doing something is not the central issue of
Speaker 1: the justice system. You're opening up the possibility that anyone
Speaker 1: can be punished for anything, that any one of us
Speaker 1: can be a sacrifice to someone else's political anger or concerns,
Speaker 1: or some other injustice, perhaps even a historical injustice. You
Speaker 1: could have your house burned down because of something that
Speaker 1: was done fifty or one hundred or two hundred years ago.
Speaker 1: Unless individual agency, responsibility and moral culpability are the foundation
Speaker 1: of our justice system and also our sense of what
Speaker 1: is right. I cannot be punished for the actions of
Speaker 1: another person's that's wrong. That's immoral, destroying property of people,
Speaker 1: destroying property, burning down businesses all and you know, we
Speaker 1: all we know this, you know this, listening to the
Speaker 1: to me say it. And yet the media doesn't want
Speaker 1: to come down too harshly on these protesters. Don't see
Speaker 1: I just did it. Rioters. You gotta make sure you
Speaker 1: keep these things separate. It's not rioting, is not protesting.
Speaker 1: These are not the same right. Holding up a placard
Speaker 1: is not the same thing as punching someone in the face.
Speaker 1: These are not the same. We don't get to pretend
Speaker 1: they are. So don't let the media get away with it.
Speaker 1: Because they view particularly racial division as an opportunity to
Speaker 1: push ratings up, to push forward favored narratives. For a
Speaker 1: lot of posturing from multi millionaire news anchors and left
Speaker 1: wing journalists all over the place to act like they
Speaker 1: care so much about oppress minority communities and that they're
Speaker 1: the ones that really want justice in this situation. And
Speaker 1: anybody who's calling out the rioters, let's use the proper terminology.
Speaker 1: No one calls out the protesters, and I can totally
Speaker 1: understand people wanting to protest over what happened to George Floyd.
Speaker 1: Now it's come out that the officer in question who
Speaker 1: had the knee on the neck of Floyd for I've
Speaker 1: seen over nine minutes. The video I watch was five minutes,
Speaker 1: but I've seen it said it was over nine minutes.
Speaker 1: They are multiple complaints against him in the past, so
Speaker 1: the officer may well have been somebody who should have
Speaker 1: been disciplined beforehand. There is going to be huge liability
Speaker 1: for the city of Minneapolis, and I'm willing to bet
Speaker 1: right now that the family of George Floyd is going
Speaker 1: to get a very very large payout in a civil
Speaker 1: suit as result of this. I know that doesn't bring
Speaker 1: them back, but I'm just saying that no one is
Speaker 1: expecting this to go in any direction other than these cops,
Speaker 1: particularly the one cop wit. His knee and his neck
Speaker 1: are in a whole lot of trouble. And this is
Speaker 1: a terrible injustice. So what's with the looted? What are
Speaker 1: the what are the looters think that they are showing? Now?
Speaker 1: The looters are just using this as an excuse. It's
Speaker 1: an excuse. They're angry. They're not particularly angry about this,
Speaker 1: they're just angry in general, and so they want to destroy,
Speaker 1: they want to threaten, they want to ruin, and they're
Speaker 1: looking for some justification, some excuse in their own mind
Speaker 1: for this activity. I mean, it's terrible, especially given what
Speaker 1: the country is going through right now. You're burning down businesses.
Speaker 1: Those businesses are you know, employee people who are hoping
Speaker 1: to come back to work soon. Who knows what that's
Speaker 1: It's just it's awful to see this. And there's this
Speaker 1: video that's making the rounds of a woman coming out
Speaker 1: of a store and she's in a wheelchair and she's
Speaker 1: attacked by a mob of looters and a spray a
Speaker 1: fire extinguisher on her and the people are throwing things
Speaker 1: at her and hitting her. It's an elderly woman in
Speaker 1: a wheelchair. I think that the decision that was made
Speaker 1: to pull back the police in Minneapolis is wrong. I
Speaker 1: think that until we decide that you're going to enforce
Speaker 1: the law when it comes to burning down buildings, stealing
Speaker 1: on mass, I think that we're going to continue to
Speaker 1: see this. You know, law enforcement has a duty here
Speaker 1: and to say, oh, it's too dangerous for my officers.
Speaker 1: You know, so and so. Now is it? If you
Speaker 1: get a mob together, they can break the law and
Speaker 1: cops don't want to have to do anything about it.
Speaker 1: I think about the implications of that. If one person
Speaker 1: does something illegal, the cops will use force, escala force.
Speaker 1: They'll you know, they'll hit you with a with a
Speaker 1: night stick or with a baton. They'll they'll mess you up, man.
Speaker 1: I mean cops. Cops have to use force, have to
Speaker 1: use violence, and they will, in fact, not just draw
Speaker 1: their tasers, they'll draw their firearms if they have to.
Speaker 1: In this case, you're burning down buildings. They don't know
Speaker 1: if there's with this kind of arson, that's a threat
Speaker 1: to human life. I mean, that's a felony. You don't
Speaker 1: know if there's someone asleep somewhere in that building. You
Speaker 1: don't know if there's someone who's trapped somehow inside you know,
Speaker 1: cleaning late at night. These buildings are lit up in flames.
Speaker 1: No one knows. Arson's a very serious crime. Just stealing
Speaker 1: is a felony. You know, mob violence undermine society at
Speaker 1: its very core, and the Minneapolis cops just let them
Speaker 1: burn down the neighborhood. Really well, maybe people would be
Speaker 1: less likely to loot if looters were being hit with
Speaker 1: rubber bullets and wrestle to the ground and handcuffed. Now
Speaker 1: you know, you can tell me, oh buck, they don't
Speaker 1: do that. We just went through a couple of months
Speaker 1: here of cops arresting people for the crime of not
Speaker 1: wearing a mask in public and in some cases wrestling them,
Speaker 1: throwing them face first into the cement. That happened here
Speaker 1: in New York, arresting people in public parks for being
Speaker 1: with their kids because of stupid pseudoscience promoted by scared
Speaker 1: psycho libs who want Trump to lose that you can't
Speaker 1: be in open air without a mask on. So you
Speaker 1: know that the cops have been able there. They'll shut
Speaker 1: down businesses, you know, they'll show up and do all
Speaker 1: this stuff, but looting, violence, threat to life, threat to property.
Speaker 1: Cops in Minneapolis called away from the scene. Sorry, don't
Speaker 1: want to don't want to get too deep into this one.
Speaker 1: It's wrong, it's wrong. It's just caving to mob violence.
Speaker 1: Looting as nothing to do with justice. Looting is an
Speaker 1: injustice inherently every time. It's not a little bit more okay,
Speaker 1: it's not a little bit less awful because people are upset.
Speaker 1: I'm upset about a lot of things. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to go burn down a store down the street to
Speaker 1: show my rage. What if I walk down the street
Speaker 1: and decided that I was just going to take a
Speaker 1: baseball bat and swinging at somebody's head because I'm upset
Speaker 1: about something, It's garbage. Anybody who here out there who's
Speaker 1: downplaying this is a coward, is a phony, is someone
Speaker 1: who should not be listened to, and honestly should be condemned.
Speaker 1: Oh there's anger about this, yeah, you protest when there's anger.
Speaker 1: You don't destroy people's livelihoods. You don't threaten people and
Speaker 1: destroy property because you're upset, and even having to talk
Speaker 1: with it has nothing to do with that. This is
Speaker 1: just the exploitation of a circumstance by individuals acting collectively
Speaker 1: to express rage and do what they feel like to
Speaker 1: act on an impulse that they've had that finally now
Speaker 1: they see an opening and there needs to be much
Speaker 1: more aggressive pushback against this. Uh you know that this
Speaker 1: is this is where the cops have got to be
Speaker 1: willing to use force. You know what else are we
Speaker 1: going to say? Anytime somebody wants to burn down a
Speaker 1: neighborhood because they're upset about an incident involving race and
Speaker 1: the police, that's we're just gonna allow that to happen.
Speaker 1: Look what's happened in Baltimore, Look what's happening in Ferguson, Missouri,
Speaker 1: and now it's happening in Minnesota. Unacceptable, unacceptable. Um, this
Speaker 1: is this is an injustice and the people who are
Speaker 1: not calling it out for that, like I said, they're cowards.
Speaker 1: They're not worthy of your time. You're in the hut.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Basically, you see
Speaker 1: less likely to try and tread on people's rights when
Speaker 1: there's other armed Americans with them. So there's bad damn time.
Speaker 1: That's some release. I figure that's bout damn time heavily
Speaker 1: armed rednecks stood with fellow citizens. And why are you
Speaker 1: protecting this store? Well, I mean this wasn't exactly a
Speaker 1: special Latin were getting kind of aco. So Bams guy
Speaker 1: ended up here. We we've been moving around and just
Speaker 1: trying to see what we see what's loved without getting
Speaker 1: necessarily completely slapped by massive groups of people. And while
Speaker 1: we were walking, somebody mentioned that there were some guys
Speaker 1: had the battles after we want to up there, we're
Speaker 1: gonna buy something, and they said that they're they're closed
Speaker 1: and they're defending the businesses. Oh yeah, talks on fire
Speaker 1: yea by the way. Yeah, but anyway, so we heard
Speaker 1: that were like, well, we better, we better kid up
Speaker 1: and go see these guys and eat help. It turns
Speaker 1: out these guys are rocket with a sheet and shattered windows,
Speaker 1: trying to keep looters out of the business because cops
Speaker 1: can't get in here. And so you know, I figured
Speaker 1: before they were cops, they were just Americans. So here
Speaker 1: we are already on during the LA riots, the collateral damage.
Speaker 1: So bottom line, justin for Floyd and uh, I hope
Speaker 1: they stopped looting at some point if there were more
Speaker 1: of us when you go stop, we definitely don't agree
Speaker 1: with the definite protesting. Two gentlemen too, self described rednecks
Speaker 1: standing with rifles outside of a pawn shop right near
Speaker 1: They could see the looting going on. And I think
Speaker 1: this will be unsurprising, but as I as I last checked, uh,
Speaker 1: they they prevented the store from being burnt out, destroyed,
Speaker 1: perhaps more violence occurring, individuals coming under risk. It's all.
Speaker 1: It took two guys standing outside of it. Actually, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: there are four of them, pardon me in that video, um,
Speaker 1: two of them self described as rednecks standing outside of store,
Speaker 1: saying that they're just going to help out and protect it.
Speaker 1: They're not going to allow looting, which is a terrifying thing,
Speaker 1: to destroy someone's business and burn it to the ground
Speaker 1: and perhaps engage. There was violence against people. I mean,
Speaker 1: a woman in a wheelchair, for having's sake, was attacked
Speaker 1: by one of these angry mobs. Two guys standing outside
Speaker 1: prevent this from happening. Imagine if the cops were believed
Speaker 1: to be No. The thing about those two guys that
Speaker 1: the two I keep saying two, they're the ones talking.
Speaker 1: There are four of them, actually four armed men. I'm
Speaker 1: quite sure that if you threw a brick at one
Speaker 1: of their heads, or you surrounded them and they felt
Speaker 1: in fear of their lives, they would use their weapons
Speaker 1: to defend themselves, and they would be right to do so.
Speaker 1: The protesters know that they can throw rocks at cops,
Speaker 1: they can burn down stores. I set it again, darn it.
Speaker 1: The rioters see this is what this is. So the
Speaker 1: media propaganda is so pernicious. I've been reading about protests
Speaker 1: in this morning when it's not about protests. We're not
Speaker 1: even talking about protests. There's riots. These are riots. Have
Speaker 1: to use the proper terminology. But this is this is
Speaker 1: actually kind of an instruction and how the propaganda works.
Speaker 1: You just you read a word enough, you see it enough,
Speaker 1: and it seeps into your mind, and even when you
Speaker 1: don't want to say it, you end up saying it.
Speaker 1: But this shows you that a couple of armed patriots
Speaker 1: just trying to help out their fellow citizen can really
Speaker 1: step in and make a difference. And they were saying
Speaker 1: exactly what should be said. They think that what happened
Speaker 1: to George Floyd was atrocious. They support protests, but they
Speaker 1: don't support rioting and looting and the destruction of public property.
Speaker 1: That the threats against people burning down buildings and unlike
Speaker 1: the cops in Minneapolis. These four men were willing to
Speaker 1: do something about it to actually help some people. Oh
Speaker 1: look at that. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson
Speaker 1: Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. I just want to say,
Speaker 1: before we transition into some updates on what's going on
Speaker 1: with COVID nineteen and all of that, there seems to
Speaker 1: be a media narrative that that keeps popping up of Oh,
Speaker 1: why is it so I've seen numerous journalists, Uh, Julia
Speaker 1: Yaffi is one of them, why is this looting so bad?
Speaker 1: In comparison to the guys who stormed the Michigan State
Speaker 1: Capitol with firearms? The people who went into the Michigan
Speaker 1: State Capitol didn't break any loss, didn't destroy anything, it
Speaker 1: didn't didn't didn't attack anyone. I this is very obvious,
Speaker 1: but it just shows you. You know, there's there's a
Speaker 1: desire among the left wing media to have to have
Speaker 1: some way of showing their sympathy, not for protesters, not
Speaker 1: for the family of George Floyd, which is completely understandable,
Speaker 1: and that's a sympathy that I have no there's sympathy
Speaker 1: with the looters though. That's you know, if you're a
Speaker 1: real dedicated leftist s JW, a social justice warrior, then
Speaker 1: you need to find a way to have sympathy for
Speaker 1: the people who are burning down stores and destroying things
Speaker 1: like this. And that's just appalling and it's a dangerous,
Speaker 1: destructive game. The media plays with all this and it's
Speaker 1: truly very very frustrating to watch, and it also gets
Speaker 1: them them ratings. But there's an obvious separation between what
Speaker 1: happened in Minneapolis, lots of law breaking, destruction of property
Speaker 1: and violence, and what happened at the Michigan State House
Speaker 1: where you had individuals who were lawfully caring. Now, is
Speaker 1: it a judgment call that I would make to go
Speaker 1: carry in Michigan State House like that? I wouldn't do it,
Speaker 1: but I don't condemn those who do. They're allowed. It's
Speaker 1: within law. It's a Second Amendment, so I understand. Also,
Speaker 1: I'll look, I'm glad there's some people who are early
Speaker 1: on in this process, we're speaking out against what is
Speaker 1: tyrannical and what's going on in this country with this
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen thing is tyrannical. There's no question about it.
Speaker 1: But there's Oh and if you're wondering where all this
Speaker 1: is going, I mean, here is a gentleman the name
Speaker 1: of Vin Gupta on Masks play Cliff four producer Mark.
Speaker 1: I think we need a law, Willie. And the fact
Speaker 1: that we passed the laws for banning indoor smoking becautween.
Speaker 1: Exposure to secondhand smoke is detrimentally your health and you
Speaker 1: can't just rely on recommendations. Unfortunately, behaviors or behaviors human
Speaker 1: beings are peculiar, and they're a lot tend to be cynical.
Speaker 1: And I understand why people don't want to wear masks.
Speaker 1: I don't want to wear a mask if I can
Speaker 1: avoid it. I'm sure you don't want to wear a
Speaker 1: mask if you can avoid it. It's frightening to children.
Speaker 1: So now is the time of urgency. We do not
Speaker 1: have time to assure all Americans along on this policy.
Speaker 1: We have to be strong. That's doctor Vin Gutta on
Speaker 1: on MSNBC playing into this mask frenzy that's going on.
Speaker 1: And now, oh and so now it has to be
Speaker 1: mandatory to wear a mask. There must be the force
Speaker 1: of law behind you wearing a mask. I want to
Speaker 1: be very clear about this. They have no argument that
Speaker 1: they will make in response to this point. If masks
Speaker 1: are compulsory as a function of law for you anywhere
Speaker 1: outside your home, which is what they are now demanding,
Speaker 1: why would masks ever not to be compulsory outside the home.
Speaker 1: The seasonal flu hits us every year. There are millions
Speaker 1: and millions of cases, and there are tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of people who die every year. The fact that there's
Speaker 1: I mean, there are morons out there. There's one I
Speaker 1: came across that MSNBC one of the dumber correspondents they have,
Speaker 1: who think, oh, we have a vaccine for the flu.
Speaker 1: About forty percent of the adult population any given year
Speaker 1: gets it, and it generally is a crapshoot whether it
Speaker 1: even works. And they say, oh, we update the flu
Speaker 1: vaccine later in the season. Yeah. Do you think people
Speaker 1: go get multiple if they're at very high risk. Maybe,
Speaker 1: but most people are like, well, I missed it this year,
Speaker 1: and you still have a lot of people who get it,
Speaker 1: a lot of people who die. If it saves just
Speaker 1: one life, that's how we've been push into this, right,
Speaker 1: that's the entry point of this tyranny. If it saves
Speaker 1: just one life, Well, we could save lives if masks
Speaker 1: work with respiratory diseases, which I know we're supposed to
Speaker 1: take as an article of not just an article of faith.
Speaker 1: We're supposed to believe that this is gospel, this is
Speaker 1: the absolute truth. Even though there's CDC study that says
Speaker 1: it still up on the website says that for influenza
Speaker 1: doesn't really make much of a difference with masks. Now,
Speaker 1: do I think that if you have a full on
Speaker 1: you know, plexiglass, self contained breathing apparatus and everything like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that'll prevent you from getting it, but a little piece
Speaker 1: of cloth across your mouth? Come on? But this is
Speaker 1: all about control. This is about making people do what
Speaker 1: the people in power want them to do. And it's
Speaker 1: also it's also about forcing you to psychologically bend the
Speaker 1: knee here. And that's one of the reasons I find
Speaker 1: this so very troubling, because I think that mask wearing
Speaker 1: in public is stupid, an infringement on my rights, and
Speaker 1: just part of the hysteria and the attitude of overreach
Speaker 1: and control at any cost that has been so pervasive
Speaker 1: during this whole phenomenon. But if I go out and
Speaker 1: I wear a mask, and I wear a mask, then
Speaker 1: it becomes, oh, you're doing what you're told. Oh, excuse me, mister,
Speaker 1: we shouldn't wear a mask. Here's a photo of you
Speaker 1: wearing a mask. Right, you've complied. You're now a part
Speaker 1: of it. You know, it's like and then this is
Speaker 1: an extreme example, but it's the first thing that comes
Speaker 1: to mind. Well, I'll come up with a less extreme example.
Speaker 1: You know, what's one of the ways that they'll put
Speaker 1: you that they do gang initiation. How do you get
Speaker 1: a gang initiation? Well, a lot of times it's commit
Speaker 1: a serious crime, a felony, usually a violent felony. Well,
Speaker 1: once you've done that, everything else you're going to be
Speaker 1: subjected to in this gang what other people are doing.
Speaker 1: You know, you're a violent felon too, So how are
Speaker 1: you going to say, hey, guys, we shouldn't do that.
Speaker 1: Don't do that thing. You're already a part of it.
Speaker 1: So with this mask mania, they want the law to
Speaker 1: force you all to do it. So then you're a
Speaker 1: hypocrite if you go out with a mask on because
Speaker 1: you're told you have to. They say, oh, you're protecting yourself.
Speaker 1: I mean, I come across this too with the idiot lives.
Speaker 1: I mean, I get targeted for this, but I don't care.
Speaker 1: I've become somebody that they'll go after because I've been
Speaker 1: a skeptic of this for a long time, longer than
Speaker 1: almost anybody looking at this, and those you're listening to
Speaker 1: the show know that. For about two weeks, I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: we're in really bad shape here, because all the numbers
Speaker 1: were telling us this is terrible. We're about to get
Speaker 1: you know, we had I watched from my window in
Speaker 1: real time as a hospital ship was floating by because
Speaker 1: our hospitals were going to be overwhelmed. I had friends
Speaker 1: sending me photos from their window of hospitals being set
Speaker 1: up in Central Park to deal with all the overflow
Speaker 1: because all these people were going to be arriving and
Speaker 1: dying in the street before that he even get into
Speaker 1: the ear and there wouldn't be ano ventilators. And this
Speaker 1: is what every government authority was telling us at that time.
Speaker 1: Now I was somebody who said we should never I
Speaker 1: put this out on Twitter, and I got a tremendous
Speaker 1: amount of heat and targeting. I said, no matter what,
Speaker 1: we should continue to go, you know, no matter what
Speaker 1: we face after the initial fifteen days, we should go
Speaker 1: back to work. I don't care what they're telling us.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And then they're also, oh, well, you're
Speaker 1: stuck in your you know, your fancy apartment. For us,
Speaker 1: well it's not fancy, it's small. But while you're still
Speaker 1: going to your apartment, you know, being goal saved, you
Speaker 1: want other people know. I want to be out. I'm
Speaker 1: out all the time. But they'd like to try to
Speaker 1: hit you with hypocrisy to undermine your argument. I'm going
Speaker 1: to stores. I'm not wearing masks wherever I can get
Speaker 1: away with it. At this point, now I can't even
Speaker 1: walk around my own building without a mask on common space.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely, absolutely absurd. But they do want to make
Speaker 1: this mandatory. After it went from not worth anyone's time
Speaker 1: to please do it till you better do it or else,
Speaker 1: and it went through that very quickly, very quickly, indeed,
Speaker 1: and now they want the law to mandate that you
Speaker 1: have to do this. I'm sorry. This is a very
Speaker 1: very bad sign for those of us who value autonomy
Speaker 1: and freedom and individual rights. And it's also such a
Speaker 1: clear political symbol for the left now too. Why do
Speaker 1: people explain to me why people have their avatars now
Speaker 1: on Twitter with a face mask on. I mean, maybe
Speaker 1: if they think it's just marking this point in history
Speaker 1: or something. I'm not saying everybody who does this is
Speaker 1: doing it in a weird way that's weirdly political. But
Speaker 1: for most people that I'm seeing, it's you know, look
Speaker 1: at me. I'm a mask wearer because I believe in
Speaker 1: the science. I really believe in the science. How many
Speaker 1: of the mask wearers have had a prology test to
Speaker 1: find out if they should wear a mask at all?
Speaker 1: You care so much about the science, shouldn't you know
Speaker 1: if you've already been exposed, have antibodies and therefore can
Speaker 1: neither infect others nor be infected yourself, according to signs
Speaker 1: Now that that's that's too proactive, more fun to take
Speaker 1: selfies with your mask on, you know, Biden twenty twenty
Speaker 1: mask on. It's it's absurd, it's outrageous. But there's also
Speaker 1: there's a bit of heat now coming on this one
Speaker 1: because people are think recognizing the economic catastrophe. We're going
Speaker 1: to be feeling this for a long time, and folks
Speaker 1: are upset about it, and there are states that did
Speaker 1: not get hit hard by this. That should not have
Speaker 1: locked down. It was not worth it for them. Here
Speaker 1: is really a progressive elitist of the journo finance establishment.
Speaker 1: Andrew Sorkin and Joe Kernan on CNBC they had quite
Speaker 1: a little squabble over those play clip three. I'm sorry, No,
Speaker 1: you're not, No, you're not, Joe, I'm sorry, Okay, I'll
Speaker 1: hid with the news. You panicked about the mark It,
Speaker 1: panicked about COVID, panicked about the ventilators, panicked about the PPE,
Speaker 1: panicked about ever going out again, panicked and you ever
Speaker 1: get back to normous if you didn't take their head.
Speaker 1: I understand that thousand people died, Joe, and all you
Speaker 1: did was try to help your friends. The president, whoa oh,
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand people. He's yelling at him. It's like, dude,
Speaker 1: we all know that that's just the way that's you're
Speaker 1: going to handle everything. Now that that justifies, you know,
Speaker 1: just that talking point justifies every decision that has been
Speaker 1: made and will be made. What if the decisions were wrong,
Speaker 1: What if it didn't save any lives? What if we're
Speaker 1: gonna lose even more lives because of the decision to
Speaker 1: try to save lives with the lockdown. That wasn't even
Speaker 1: the right decision because it didn't save lives. There is
Speaker 1: a real possibility that we didn't save any lives by
Speaker 1: doing this, and we will lose a lot of lives
Speaker 1: through our action that did not save lives. Alcohol abuse,
Speaker 1: overdose from drugs, suicide, depression, undiagnosed cancer. I mean, just
Speaker 1: go through the list. No, but there were people who
Speaker 1: had a solid month of feeling really brave and virtuous.
Speaker 1: Lockdown forever, as long as it takes until there's a
Speaker 1: vaccine lockdown. I believe in sciences. People say they believe
Speaker 1: in science. They don't even believe in reading. They don't
Speaker 1: know anything. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast, The Nursing Home. The obbligations on
Speaker 1: the nursing home to say I can't take a COVID
Speaker 1: positive person. I'm too crowded, I'm too busy, i don't
Speaker 1: have enough ppe whatever the answer is, doesn't even matter.
Speaker 1: If they say I can't take the person, they can't
Speaker 1: take the person. So that's that's how it works. Oh,
Speaker 1: blame the nursing homes. That's the latest from Governor Governor Cuomo.
Speaker 1: Let's understand something here, friends. He has gone from I
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen Cuomo go from sexiest man alive.
Speaker 1: You know. In the press, that's what they were saying.
Speaker 1: There were people, according to the New York Posts, who
Speaker 1: were calling themselves Cuomo sexuals and selling T shirts and
Speaker 1: like thong underwear with Cuomo's face. And I'm not making
Speaker 1: this up. This was actually happening because he was such
Speaker 1: a savior, because he gave the briefing every day and
Speaker 1: let explain what's going on the briefing. So every day
Speaker 1: he would look at the slides and eventually, what's worth
Speaker 1: of turning into this? You know, we're all in this together.
Speaker 1: And that was a means of you, this is the
Speaker 1: thing that Cuomo is doing every day. And and producer
Speaker 1: Mark points out there was a I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of how to say this, there was a Was that
Speaker 1: a real thing? Yes, people legitimately thought that he had
Speaker 1: an object sticking out of his chests that area to chest,
Speaker 1: the area that was pierced. I think people can put
Speaker 1: the clues together there. Yeah, I remember seeing that. I
Speaker 1: wasn't sure that was I thought that was like a
Speaker 1: Babylon be thing, but maybe it was real. So okay,
Speaker 1: now we have the data in and now we see
Speaker 1: what the results were, and what it all tells us
Speaker 1: is sure enough. Cuomo did a horrible job. And he
Speaker 1: had this executive order on March twenty fifth that said
Speaker 1: the nursing homes have to take COVID positive patients back
Speaker 1: into the nursing home. This was because they had been
Speaker 1: told or he believed that they would run out of
Speaker 1: room in the hospitals. Do I say room funny? Snow
Speaker 1: Princess says, I say room funny? Yeah, you kind of
Speaker 1: say room everyone. He said, I don't know why I
Speaker 1: say this word strange. Do you watch Family? Guy? That's
Speaker 1: so Stewie says it. Oh, Stewie, I've got to work
Speaker 1: on my stee impersonation because it used to be pretty
Speaker 1: good and just speaking, you do it? Oh? Thanks, So
Speaker 1: going back here for a second of what Cuomo did.
Speaker 1: Cuomo made terrible decisions, and you know, the media was
Speaker 1: celebrating him and saying he's a hero and all this
Speaker 1: great stuff all the time Cuomo was making terrible decisions
Speaker 1: for the state of New York and has dragged out
Speaker 1: the lockdown for much longer than it needed to be
Speaker 1: in New York State and here in New York City,
Speaker 1: and they don't have the numbers to back up what
Speaker 1: they were doing and the policy and everything else, and
Speaker 1: it's just been it's just been a debacle. But about
Speaker 1: a week maybe two weeks ago, he started saying, well,
Speaker 1: it's the federal government's fault that we were that was
Speaker 1: the CDC GUIDs. Now he's saying, oh, it's actually the
Speaker 1: fault of the nursing homes that took the people back. Well,
Speaker 1: why how is it there if he's signing an executive order. Remember, now,
Speaker 1: the governor of New York State thinks that he can
Speaker 1: tell you you can't leave your home, you can't open
Speaker 1: your business, or the state troopers are going to come
Speaker 1: after you. You know, if he signs an executive order
Speaker 1: saying you got to take people back, how is he
Speaker 1: then able to turn around and say, well, actually, actually
Speaker 1: we aren't going to take responsibility for this. It's on
Speaker 1: you in the nursing homes. I mean, the stats, the
Speaker 1: stats on what has happened here with nursing homes across
Speaker 1: the country are just it's it's horrific beyond words. You
Speaker 1: have something along the line. I'm trying to find it exactly,
Speaker 1: but you have. You know, less than two percent of
Speaker 1: the country is in nursing homes. It's something like one
Speaker 1: point something percent I believe is an assisted living facilities
Speaker 1: of some kind. And the death toll from COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: across the board is close to forty percent. And just
Speaker 1: that's not forty percent seniors, that's forty percent in assistant
Speaker 1: living facilities. This was the big threat, you know, this
Speaker 1: was we We know, we deployed our our troops so
Speaker 1: to speak. We you know, we put our fae lenxes
Speaker 1: out there out on the battlefield prepared for this onslaught
Speaker 1: from COVID, and COVID actually did a flanking maneuver, swept
Speaker 1: around us and went after, you know, our our camp
Speaker 1: in the rear and massacred people who are undefended, massacred
Speaker 1: are our sick, our wounded, so to speak. In this
Speaker 1: battle analogy, we were not focused on the threat where
Speaker 1: it really was. And they can say all they want
Speaker 1: now about how oh you know it's this person or
Speaker 1: that person or this facility or that facility. No, you
Speaker 1: want all the power to tell us. You got to
Speaker 1: stay in your home. You want the power to tell
Speaker 1: us what we can and can't do day in and
Speaker 1: day out. I have to wear a mask. I can't
Speaker 1: go to the store, I can't go live my life,
Speaker 1: flatten the curve, all this stuff. You want that authority.
Speaker 1: You also, Governor Cuomo, had the authority to do better
Speaker 1: when it came to our seniors and to protect them,
Speaker 1: and you failed. You failed this guy, this guy, it
Speaker 1: should look it should cost him. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's planning on running for reelection or not, but it
Speaker 1: should cost him reelection. I don't know if it will.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately New York politics, you never know what's really going
Speaker 1: on here. But we know the truth. There's no blame
Speaker 1: shifting that's going to work here. Cuomo, thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to the bus seton show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on
Speaker 1: Apple podcasts, the iHeart Radio app, or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. What is the lockdown that we've suffered through,
Speaker 1: the lockdown that has brought about now forty million job losses.
Speaker 1: What if it didn't even save lives? Now? I understand
Speaker 1: that this is very a controversial thing to even ask,
Speaker 1: but we have to, especially because I am not the
Speaker 1: least bit convinced that we will not see a request
Speaker 1: for a second round of lockdowns come this winter time
Speaker 1: or to coincide with the flu season. Well, what do
Speaker 1: we have in terms of data to answer this very
Speaker 1: controversial question. We got Jordan shack Tell back in the house.
Speaker 1: He's an investigative journalist, national security analyst. He's written for
Speaker 1: the Examiner, for The Daily Wire, USA Today, a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of places. Jordan is back with us. Jordan, thanks
Speaker 1: so much, man, Yeah, thanks for having me. So I
Speaker 1: want to pose this question to you just before we
Speaker 1: get to that. They said we needed a million ventilators
Speaker 1: and we needed nothing even close to that. They said
Speaker 1: we were going to overwhelm the hospitals, nothing even close
Speaker 1: to that. You know, half a million to two point
Speaker 1: five million dead, not even close. I mean, we just
Speaker 1: so many of the things we were told by the
Speaker 1: experts were wrong. But the one thing that they seem
Speaker 1: certain of certain is that the lockdowns would save lives.
Speaker 1: What do you say to that and what can you
Speaker 1: tell us about it? I would say that the fundamental
Speaker 1: premise behind lockdowns was that we were initially it was
Speaker 1: to slow out the spread of the virus, acknowledging that
Speaker 1: every a lot of people are going to get infected
Speaker 1: anyway to retain that critical hospital capacity. What we learned
Speaker 1: is that the lockdown policy has really exacerbated the problem,
Speaker 1: particularly when it came to the nursing homes, and particularly
Speaker 1: when it came to the Democrat governor is deciding that
Speaker 1: this thing is going to get so bad that we
Speaker 1: are going to send sick people back into nursing homes.
Speaker 1: And now what we and what should have been obvious
Speaker 1: to our our all knowing public health experts, was that
Speaker 1: senior citizens are particularly vulnerable to respiratory viruses, and unfortunately,
Speaker 1: it has had devastating consequences for the long term care
Speaker 1: center communities. You saw this happen in New York City,
Speaker 1: in New Jersey, in Pennsylvania, and every state where they
Speaker 1: issued these orders. The nursing homes were absolutely devastated when
Speaker 1: it comes to lockdown. In particular, the CDC issued a
Speaker 1: report this week basically acknowledging that the infection fatality ratio
Speaker 1: is at least fourteen fifteen times lower than the initial
Speaker 1: WHO World Health Organization prediction of three point four percent,
Speaker 1: and by acknowledging that they also acknowledge that forty fifty
Speaker 1: sixty million Americans have already been affected by the coronavirus,
Speaker 1: which means that the lockdowns did not work in containment.
Speaker 1: And this wasn't even it wasn't acknowledged first in the
Speaker 1: run up to this that lockdowns were or containment. It
Speaker 1: was supposed to be to slow down the spread. But
Speaker 1: if you saw from Cauchi, from Bert's, from Governor Cuomo,
Speaker 1: Governor Murphy, New Jersey, they went on to claim when
Speaker 1: they moved the goalpost that lockdowns were stopping the spread,
Speaker 1: and that was never true. And the CDC has basically
Speaker 1: acknowledged that do we have any way of looking at
Speaker 1: the data about nationwide particularly hospitalizations because that coincides with
Speaker 1: severe infection asymptomatic infection for example. I mean, who you
Speaker 1: know that that's a much less serious issue, and it's
Speaker 1: also one you're never going to be able to properly
Speaker 1: test and trace, as they say, But it seems like
Speaker 1: we had a surge in infections and then a drop off.
Speaker 1: Every other country all over the world, whether they went
Speaker 1: with the most severe lockdown or almost no lockdown at all,
Speaker 1: has also had a similar degree of escalation, not the
Speaker 1: same numbers, but there was a there was a bump
Speaker 1: up and a bump down, you know, I mean, there's
Speaker 1: some bumps are more severe than others. But everyone seems
Speaker 1: to have gone through this period. What do the numbers
Speaker 1: tell us about the cyclical nature of this virus? If anything,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent that within certain statistical parameters in countries
Speaker 1: with similar climates, you saw the same rise, the same drop,
Speaker 1: no matter what policy was tried. The only distinction here
Speaker 1: is that countries that did very hard lockdowns, like the
Speaker 1: countries in the Middle East where you weren't even allowed
Speaker 1: to go outside, go to the supermarket, those countries have
Speaker 1: different data because those lockdowns were so strict, so rigid.
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't like New York City where Cuomo
Speaker 1: left the subways open. But in terms of like these
Speaker 1: loose lockdowns that you sought throughout Western Europe in the
Speaker 1: United States, as opposed to the Swedish model or the
Speaker 1: Belarus model, there is absolutely no difference, which means that
Speaker 1: lockdowns did nothing to stop the spread, and there's a
Speaker 1: lot of evidence it possibly on the other side of things,
Speaker 1: that it could have exacerbated the spread because we know,
Speaker 1: you know how the virus spreads in these close combinian spaces,
Speaker 1: and that we know that community transmission isn't that big
Speaker 1: an issue and the virus doesn't really spread that way. So,
Speaker 1: if anything, there's a lot of evidence pointing to the
Speaker 1: fact that lockdowns have done severe damage, not just inside
Speaker 1: you know, this COVID ecademic, but outside of it, with
Speaker 1: all the mental health, economic repercussions. But there's still nothing
Speaker 1: that any legitimate scientists can point to that said, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: lockdowns have done some positive things. There's just nothing out there,
Speaker 1: and it's it's probably the biggest domestic policy blunder in
Speaker 1: American history, and unfortunately, in you know, it's not just
Speaker 1: America that this is every other country in the world
Speaker 1: that made the same mistake. Now, speaking of Jordan, shack Tell,
Speaker 1: investigative journalists and part of what Alex Barrenson calls Team Reality,
Speaker 1: people willing to look at the numbers and comic conclusions
Speaker 1: about this COVID nineteen thing that aren't just the official
Speaker 1: from on high consensus position. How did we go? Jordan
Speaker 1: from doctor Fauci in March, I'm sure you've heard this
Speaker 1: audio to making the rounds a last to twenty four
Speaker 1: hours and March saying you know, wear a mask, and
Speaker 1: you know, but it really just if it makes you
Speaker 1: feel better. I mean, you don't have to wear a mask.
Speaker 1: That was in March of this year about COVID nineteen. Now,
Speaker 1: if you don't wear a mask, you're basically a monster
Speaker 1: who wants old people to die, including wearing a mask
Speaker 1: out in the open by yourself. I mean, I see
Speaker 1: people sitting with a hundred yards of social distance on
Speaker 1: all sides in Central Park who have a mask on.
Speaker 1: How do we go from one to the other. It
Speaker 1: is public health officials refusing to acknowledge the mistakes they've
Speaker 1: made in the past and are basically doubling down on
Speaker 1: the hysteria and beermongering propaganda entirely not based in data.
Speaker 1: A lot of people point to East Asia and say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, there's not a lot of deaths in East Asia,
Speaker 1: but you have to remember that there are three primary
Speaker 1: underlying conditions from people that are under outside the nursing
Speaker 1: homes who die of this virus at three primary underlying conditions.
Speaker 1: First and foremost, it's obesity, and we know that in
Speaker 1: East Asia we are five, six, seven times worse in
Speaker 1: terms of obesity than East Asia. The second underlying condition
Speaker 1: is diabetes, which of course can be caused by obesity.
Speaker 1: The third most common underlying condition is asthma, which can
Speaker 1: also be related to obesity. And for some reason, these
Speaker 1: public health officials are saying, oh, just wear a mask
Speaker 1: and not saying stop going to McDonald's. And I think
Speaker 1: stop going to McDonald's is a much more effective public
Speaker 1: health advice than for people to think that by wearing
Speaker 1: a cloth bandana around their face they're going to successfully
Speaker 1: shield themselves from a virus that you can only see
Speaker 1: under an electron microscope with ten million times magnification. The
Speaker 1: whole thing is just so, it's just all based in pseudoscience.
Speaker 1: It's so bizarre, and it's basically a cult that has
Speaker 1: been created. The ask thing is to me, it's just
Speaker 1: a total mythology. It's so absurd, there's no evidence behind it.
Speaker 1: And here we are, you know, here I am in
Speaker 1: the DC Beltway where in Virginia the governor is now
Speaker 1: mandating mask wearing if you're in a group, if you're indoors.
Speaker 1: It's just it's so absurd and it's hypocritical because as
Speaker 1: you see, you know a lot of these public health
Speaker 1: officials and governors aren't wearing maths themselves when they're caught
Speaker 1: out in public Jordan, before I let you go, how
Speaker 1: are people getting you know, what is the the working
Speaker 1: theory if you will. For while we were in lockdown
Speaker 1: and there's all this masking going on for weeks and weeks,
Speaker 1: there were still lots and lots and lots of new infections.
Speaker 1: So if the measures were supposed to be if the
Speaker 1: measures were supposed to be helpful, how are people then
Speaker 1: still getting getting infected? Do we have any data? Do
Speaker 1: we have any way of knowing that? So that's the
Speaker 1: thing is that people are just assuming that people are
Speaker 1: like cheating the lockdowns, cheating the six feet of space
Speaker 1: and social distancing. I think doctor Pauci has alluded to
Speaker 1: this a lot. We said, oh, you've got to do
Speaker 1: a better job social distancing. There's just that kind of
Speaker 1: goes to show that when you have the CDC issuing
Speaker 1: a report saying, oh, hey, by the way, fifty million
Speaker 1: people got infected and most of it occurred to the lockdowns.
Speaker 1: So what does that say about lockdowns? It says that
Speaker 1: the lockdowns didn't didn't work at all, and containing the virus,
Speaker 1: and we should never have told the American people that
Speaker 1: the idea of the lockdowns was to contain the virus,
Speaker 1: because that was really the big lie. A few weeks
Speaker 1: into this epidemic, Jordan, thanks so much for joining us,
Speaker 1: and thanks for being willing to ask questions that people
Speaker 1: like you and me have been shouted down for for
Speaker 1: months now. We appreciate it. Thanks for bringing all your
Speaker 1: research here. Yeah, thanks for having me. You're in the
Speaker 1: freedom hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. You know,
Speaker 1: I really want to hear from when it comes to
Speaker 1: the very complicated debates right now around signs and how
Speaker 1: to protect us from a pandemic, how to get the
Speaker 1: economy restarted? Joe Biden. I just want Joe Biden waiting
Speaker 1: in yelling about things. You know. Hey, man, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: not too old for this game. I'm I got cool
Speaker 1: things to say. I'm a I'm a I'm a hip
Speaker 1: cat man. I'm Joe Biden. Uh yeah, he's got another
Speaker 1: great one here for you. Producer, Mark, would you play
Speaker 1: whatever it is that he's talking about here? If they're
Speaker 1: wearing a mask projects strength or weakness, leadership when it
Speaker 1: presents and projects his leadership. Presidents are supposed to lead,
Speaker 1: not engage in folly and be falsely masculine. Reminds me
Speaker 1: of the guys that I grew up with playing ball.
Speaker 1: They'd walk around with a ball in their hand, but
Speaker 1: they didn't like to hit very much. Yeah, they walk
Speaker 1: around with the ball in their hands, but they don't
Speaker 1: like to They don't like to hit very much. You know,
Speaker 1: you got you got three roosters on top of a bar,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Hip Potamus waddles by and
Speaker 1: he's like, hey man, and they're like, what does anyone
Speaker 1: know what Joe Biden is talking about? Carried a ball,
Speaker 1: but they don't like to hit. What usually people that like,
Speaker 1: if you see me walking around with a football, I
Speaker 1: want to throw a football? What is he? Producer? Mark?
Speaker 1: Am I missing something? Does this make sense? No? It
Speaker 1: makes absolutely no sense. You're right, hey man, I'm walking around.
Speaker 1: I got a ball and I got you know, two
Speaker 1: balls on the hand is worth the bird in the
Speaker 1: bush seven little chipmunks sitting on a branch, sheeting a
Speaker 1: lot of acorns stepping into my office Joe Biden style.
Speaker 1: This is just nuts. They want to make this guy
Speaker 1: pres in the United States. He's the guy. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: that's right. If only we would listen to Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: everything would have been so much better. Oh man, I
Speaker 1: just so thoroughly, thoroughly disagree with them, But we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to beat them in the election, folks. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have to beat them in the election. And we also
Speaker 1: have to try to get the truth out. I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not one who believes that we're going to get
Speaker 1: really close to accountability for the Russia collusion, delusion and
Speaker 1: Russia Gate and all this stuff. I don't think that
Speaker 1: we're likely to see anybody who was involved punished. I don't.
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's going to happen. I hope
Speaker 1: ever wrong. Some people have been fired from the FBI,
Speaker 1: I've ever been some people punished. But I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're talking about handcuffs on and the NYPD is called
Speaker 1: the bracelets, put the bracelets on them, but handcuffs on
Speaker 1: and frog marched out of the office or out of
Speaker 1: the home. MM, I don't. I don't think you're going
Speaker 1: to see that happening. And I think the best we
Speaker 1: can hope for is to get as much of the
Speaker 1: truth out as possible so that people can at least
Speaker 1: who care about this, And I don't even know how
Speaker 1: many there will be who view this as an issue
Speaker 1: that will determine their voting one or the other. But
Speaker 1: for the people who care about this, they'll have the
Speaker 1: facts present and they'll be able to well know what
Speaker 1: really happened with Russia collusion stuff. Here is Eric. Eric
Speaker 1: Swalwell is a liar who is perhaps most famous for
Speaker 1: his on air flatulence. That's right, if you recall that
Speaker 1: was a thing that happened, and it was it pretty
Speaker 1: much it pretty much blew up the internet. You could
Speaker 1: say it had it had its day there. But the
Speaker 1: the Eric Swalwell line here has been to go on
Speaker 1: MSNBC and other for CNN, other friendly left wing anti
Speaker 1: Trump media outlets and just always act like, oh, from
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing behind closed doors, I know that there's
Speaker 1: really bad stuff about this Russia collusion and just you wait,
Speaker 1: just you wait. Now he's part of the team that's
Speaker 1: opposed to additional information getting out there transparency on Russia collusion.
Speaker 1: Gait is a bad thing for the limbs. That has
Speaker 1: That's been a consistent theme all along. Here is a
Speaker 1: swallow Well talking about all this play fourteen. He's trying
Speaker 1: to set up the argument he's going to make in
Speaker 1: November that the election was ragged. We saw him do
Speaker 1: this in November twenty sixteen, when he was saying it
Speaker 1: was going to be rigged, and it was being rigged
Speaker 1: in his favor, which is why I think the Obama
Speaker 1: administration was slow to response. He'd gotten in their head
Speaker 1: and they did not respond to what Russia was doing
Speaker 1: quickly enough. But he's trying to see that argument. So
Speaker 1: if he does lose, he can go to the courts,
Speaker 1: he can stoke anxiety and uncertainty around the result, and really,
Speaker 1: for the first time in American history, hang an asterisk
Speaker 1: around the peaceful transfer power. But Americans want to vote
Speaker 1: from home seventy one. Americans want to do what service
Speaker 1: members have done since the Civil War, as you point
Speaker 1: out what service members do right now in Afghanistan. If
Speaker 1: it's safe enough to do in Afghanistan, it should be
Speaker 1: safe enough in communities that do not yet have COVID
Speaker 1: under control. You know there's a problem here because the
Speaker 1: Democrats are so desperate to set up this enormous change
Speaker 1: into our national election. You know there's a there's a
Speaker 1: theme here, my friends, there's a pattern. First of all,
Speaker 1: they don't want transparency on Russia collusion, as I said,
Speaker 1: and note that they went from why are you unmasking people?
Speaker 1: Don't do that, I'm sorry, unmasking the unmaskers. Why are
Speaker 1: you unmasking the unmaskers people like you know, Samantha Power
Speaker 1: and Clapper and Brannan and all these people that were
Speaker 1: Obama Intel you know, Intel chiefs or even in the
Speaker 1: case of Samantha Power appointee US Ambassador of the United Nations.
Speaker 1: Somehow she needs to know, you know, about General Flynn conversations. Oh,
Speaker 1: sure she does. But as as we looked at this,
Speaker 1: they didn't want the list of unmaskers to be revealed.
Speaker 1: Now they want the whole transcript out. So they argued
Speaker 1: that the names were sensitive of the people who are
Speaker 1: asking for unmasking that Roy I'm asking for unmasking with
Speaker 1: Carol Baskin, Um, no, asking for the unmasked names. That's
Speaker 1: something that they said was sensitive, you shouldn't do it.
Speaker 1: And now they're saying, well, oh, let's release the whole transcript.
Speaker 1: That's far more sensitive than just the names of the
Speaker 1: people asking for the unmasking. Right, the conversation itself between
Speaker 1: Flynn and Kislak, that's gonna be that's real private, sensitive stuff.
Speaker 1: Now they want that released, right because they're hoping they
Speaker 1: can make some political hay of it. But then on
Speaker 1: just the elect shin piece of this, they said Russia
Speaker 1: collusion happened because that was their way of negating Hillary's
Speaker 1: loss in the twenty sixteen election. Now they're trying to
Speaker 1: cheat in this election by changing the way that it
Speaker 1: will be conducted. And if they if they don't get
Speaker 1: their way, you already see it. It's already baked into
Speaker 1: the cake. You know what. You know what's coming if
Speaker 1: we don't allow them this mail, this, you know, ballot
Speaker 1: from home situation, you know, and ballot harvesting, make all
Speaker 1: the changes they want. You know what they're going to say,
Speaker 1: voter suppression if Trump wins. Oh, and it was suppression
Speaker 1: because of COVID nineteen. Oh and COVID nineteen has a
Speaker 1: dispread impact on communities of color. Therefore it was racist
Speaker 1: by making people vote the way we've voted for hundreds
Speaker 1: of years in this country. It is a racist, evil
Speaker 1: voter suppression scheme that's going to be the story if
Speaker 1: Trump wins. Thanks for listening to The Senson Show podcasts.
Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. So we had some more
Speaker 1: tough jobs numbers, but we knew the jobs numbers would
Speaker 1: be bad. They're going to keep being bad until the
Speaker 1: country reopens. It's beginning, but it's not happening nearly fast enough.
Speaker 1: You got forty million people have lost their jobs across
Speaker 1: the United States. I want to bring on a member
Speaker 1: of Congress who understands that we have to get the
Speaker 1: American people back to work. We now are joined by
Speaker 1: Congressman Chuck Fleischman. He is from Tennessee, where he represents
Speaker 1: the third District including Chattanooga. Thank you so much, Congressman.
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. It's a great pleasure to be with you, sir.
Speaker 1: Thank you so. First off, how is we like to
Speaker 1: whenever we talk people in states across the country, different guests.
Speaker 1: We like to just get a sense for the ground
Speaker 1: truth of how is Tennessee handling both the COVID crisis
Speaker 1: but also what's it looking like for small businesses and
Speaker 1: for folks that are trying to you know, deal with
Speaker 1: this economic crisis as well. Well. It's a great question,
Speaker 1: and I thank you for that. Tennessee is one of
Speaker 1: the great states that has no state income tax, has
Speaker 1: low regulations, probably the lowest tax state in the nation.
Speaker 1: In addition to that, before the COVID situation, it's a
Speaker 1: right to work state. So it's been booming. We've attracted
Speaker 1: businesses from literally all over the world, so it's been
Speaker 1: a very fertile environment for businesses to come to Tennessee,
Speaker 1: thriving Tennessee and stay in Tennessee. There's no question that
Speaker 1: the COVID situation interrupted that. However, we're coming back strong.
Speaker 1: The state has been back open. We're doing much better.
Speaker 1: But there's a disruption effect in Tennessee and of course
Speaker 1: around the nation that needs to be dealt with. But
Speaker 1: by and large, Tennessee is a debt free state. We
Speaker 1: balance our budget every year, so we will weather this
Speaker 1: storm from the health standpoint and from the financial standpoint
Speaker 1: a lot better than other states. Are you going to
Speaker 1: need a large amount of additional federal assistance to get
Speaker 1: up and running again, or if, in fact the state
Speaker 1: that continues to open up, you think you'll be able
Speaker 1: to as you say whether the storm financially Tennessee received
Speaker 1: about three billion dollars from the less stimulus package, which
Speaker 1: is less than some states, more than others, and they
Speaker 1: will use that money very well. I have weekly conversations
Speaker 1: with our governor, with our state legislators who work very
Speaker 1: hard to keep us in a strong place physically. Now,
Speaker 1: bear in mind, they have got to balance their budget.
Speaker 1: What that will mean is in some areas cuts, they
Speaker 1: have a robust rainy day fund, but they're going to
Speaker 1: have to be physically responsible, unlike some of the other
Speaker 1: states in the northeasts that are going to be and
Speaker 1: in the Midwest that are upside down because of their
Speaker 1: mismanaged pension funds and bloated spending. So will we need
Speaker 1: more money perhaps? If we do, we want to target
Speaker 1: to make sure that we incentivize business, incentivize growth, and
Speaker 1: keep regulations at a minimum. So if there is additional
Speaker 1: stimulus money, we wanted to make sure that it stimulates
Speaker 1: the business community, creates job growth, and gets us back
Speaker 1: on the track for a recovery. We're speaking of Congressman
Speaker 1: Chuck Fleischman of Tennessee's third congressional district. Congressman what would
Speaker 1: you like to see the President push for and the
Speaker 1: Congress act on to help get things moving in this country.
Speaker 1: And what additional measures, if any, do you support for
Speaker 1: the people that are so negatively impacted by this so far?
Speaker 1: Another great question. We have to be cognizant of the
Speaker 1: fact that we have spent trillions of dollars already. These
Speaker 1: are funds that are not just appropriated at a surplus.
Speaker 1: These are funds that are largely borrowed against our national debt.
Speaker 1: When we started, we had a national debt of around
Speaker 1: twenty three trillion dollars. Depending on where the four packages
Speaker 1: that we have passed will leave us, we couldn't be
Speaker 1: closed to thirty trillion dollars in debt for young persons
Speaker 1: such as yourself and I have three younger sons. This
Speaker 1: is a debt that will be on the shoulders, a
Speaker 1: burden on the shoulders of all Americans, particularly are Americans
Speaker 1: who are entering the workforce. So we need to be
Speaker 1: very careful if we come back with an additional package.
Speaker 1: We have to realize these are borrowed funds, so we
Speaker 1: want to use them wisely, no waste. And I will
Speaker 1: say this, I had a conversation with the head of
Speaker 1: the Secret Service just yesterday. We are combating waste fraud
Speaker 1: and abuse. Unfortunately, there are people out there right now
Speaker 1: we're trying to take advantage by scams and otherwise. So
Speaker 1: we have got to make sure that the dollars are
Speaker 1: well spent, because these are borrowed dollars. And on top
Speaker 1: of that, we want to make sure that we combat
Speaker 1: waste fraud and abuse wherever we do have a federal program.
Speaker 1: Now there's a lot of back and forth between the
Speaker 1: Democrats and led by Nancy Pelosi and Republicans right now
Speaker 1: over how the election presidential election, but also of course
Speaker 1: congressional elections too coming up this fall. What are your
Speaker 1: feelings on mail in balloting for everybody and ballot harvesting
Speaker 1: state by state. Very concerned about both of those things.
Speaker 1: I've said this a long time, and it's coming into fruition.
Speaker 1: We see it time after time. Republicans played by the rules,
Speaker 1: we follow the law, We try to do the right thing.
Speaker 1: Democrats play to win, and they'll do anything to win. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: and I think this is the latest in a charade
Speaker 1: of attempts to basically try to gain an advantage in
Speaker 1: a very competitive environment. I think it's critically important that
Speaker 1: President Trump is reelected. I think he's done an outstanding
Speaker 1: job as president. I think it's critically important that we
Speaker 1: hold the United States Senate, meeting the Republicans that is
Speaker 1: up for grabs, or some key races, and of course
Speaker 1: the House. We want a key house race in California.
Speaker 1: We held a keyhouse seed in Wisconsin. It's a very
Speaker 1: competitive environment. I'm in one of the co chairs of
Speaker 1: Take Back the House. For our dinner. That is going
Speaker 1: to be an uphill climb, and i think we've got
Speaker 1: to work very hard. So as we look at some
Speaker 1: novel ideas like mail in ballot balloting or unfortunately what
Speaker 1: we're seeing the Democrats push for same day registration, that
Speaker 1: red flag has got to go up. We've got to
Speaker 1: be careful. I want everyone in America who is able
Speaker 1: to vote and legally able to vote, to be able
Speaker 1: to vote. However, I do not want any fraud. I
Speaker 1: do not want any tampering with ballots or ballot ballot harvesting.
Speaker 1: That is in danger to me. I think it's the
Speaker 1: danger to our republic. So I'm very wary of any
Speaker 1: Democratic attempts to Spani's program. Congressman Chuck Fleischman of Tennessee, Sir,
Speaker 1: thanks for your time. Appreciate you joining us here on
Speaker 1: the show. It's a pleasure. Thank you for your show
Speaker 1: and all your efforts to every good day. You're in
Speaker 1: the Freedom Heart. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: I mean, in my opinion, the Trump is really behind
Speaker 1: the April right now. He knows that unless they fixed
Speaker 1: this election, unless his party does vote a suppression and
Speaker 1: stops mailing voting and it's unsuccessful in his culture war,
Speaker 1: that he's going forward with that, they will lose and
Speaker 1: the Senate will go Democrat, the House will stay Democrat,
Speaker 1: and the President will be a Democrat. He knows that,
Speaker 1: so he is scared of that. He's playing a political
Speaker 1: game with people's lives, and these people do not realize
Speaker 1: that they are porns in his game. He only wants
Speaker 1: to be re elected. He doesn't really care if you
Speaker 1: live or die. I mean, witness the fact that he
Speaker 1: went golfing on Memorial when the names are being printed
Speaker 1: in the New York Times about how many people have died.
Speaker 1: He couldn't care. Unless why does he fiddle with people's lives?
Speaker 1: Is what I want to know why is Joy Bayha crazy?
Speaker 1: Why does Joy Bayha make no sense? I just want
Speaker 1: to know there's some of the voters. First of all,
Speaker 1: notice that she worked it in already. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: do what Democrats want for the election or else it's
Speaker 1: voter suppression. Oh it's voter suppression. No, that's not how
Speaker 1: this works. It's not voter suppression to have elections the
Speaker 1: way we've always done elections. And those who are saying,
Speaker 1: oh what about absentee ballots? Absentee ballots generally don't even
Speaker 1: get counted. This is a total change in the process,
Speaker 1: and they're supposed to be a reason for your request
Speaker 1: for an absentee ballot. And for those who are military
Speaker 1: members serving overseas, of course we would make an exception
Speaker 1: for them. You know, no one's going to say, hey,
Speaker 1: you're deployed in South Korea, can you hop on a
Speaker 1: flight to go back home to Oklahoma to cast vote
Speaker 1: in the presidential election. That's not fair. That makes no sense.
Speaker 1: Think of the expense. It's not okay. But baihas like
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't even care about people. Now, I know that
Speaker 1: you might be saying, Buck, this woman is so dumb,
Speaker 1: and her opinions are so contemptible that it's not worth
Speaker 1: spending any time on them. And unfortunately that's not really true.
Speaker 1: They are so dumb and contemptible, but it's worth spending
Speaker 1: some time on them, because she is in artful in
Speaker 1: saying what is really The Democratic Party based belief on
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of things, and part of what motivates them,
Speaker 1: and what is at the center of so much of
Speaker 1: their thinking about Trump, is that they believe the president
Speaker 1: just does not care about his fellow human beings, that
Speaker 1: he is a true and I know that I say this,
Speaker 1: and it's one of those things that sounds so nuts
Speaker 1: that to say it feels like you're almost embracing a
Speaker 1: little bit of the crazy yourself. But it's true. He is.
Speaker 1: They believe that he is a moral monster and does
Speaker 1: not care about human death or suffering at any level.
Speaker 1: And that is central to all of their because that
Speaker 1: justifies everything. Right, if you're living in Stalin's Soviet Union,
Speaker 1: is lying about the Soviet government, or lying to the
Speaker 1: Soviet government, or working with the press to not that
Speaker 1: there really was a press. But you know, let's assume
Speaker 1: other than Pravda, you know, would that be Would it
Speaker 1: be a moral thing to use immoral means to take
Speaker 1: down a monster like Stalin? Yeah, of course, you know
Speaker 1: even if might I say immoral, even if you lied,
Speaker 1: even if you and you can take this all the
Speaker 1: way to things like just war theory and collateral damage,
Speaker 1: and you know, can it Can it be moral if
Speaker 1: in the course of fighting against a great evil there
Speaker 1: are losses that occur, losses of our own people. Let's say,
Speaker 1: you know, there's this is the the ends justify the
Speaker 1: means put into action by the left, because the ends
Speaker 1: have to be the defeat of Trump because he's so evil.
Speaker 1: It's not that they disagree with them, it's not. And
Speaker 1: it's fascinating to see how the things that they promised
Speaker 1: would happen if Trump was in office, about how the
Speaker 1: economy would just be destroyed, and don't say, oh, but
Speaker 1: what about COVID every the globe. One are the only
Speaker 1: reasons that we may be able to get out of
Speaker 1: this somewhat in one piece as a country, even with
Speaker 1: the horrifically bad decision making and leadership on this, and
Speaker 1: include really at all levels. But one of the reasons
Speaker 1: is that the entire global economy is so depressed, and
Speaker 1: there is when you look at currency and market share
Speaker 1: and things like this. There are some zero some aspects
Speaker 1: to this. There are some components of this that are
Speaker 1: more you know, we're in a better position because the
Speaker 1: whole world is suffering at the same time. But that
Speaker 1: also is a huge data point forward. It isn't Trump's fault.
Speaker 1: It's not like Europe was fine and America got crushed
Speaker 1: by this. Everybody's been badly economically, at least very badly
Speaker 1: hit by this, and a vast majority of places have
Speaker 1: suffered far too much death and loss from it. But
Speaker 1: if they start from this premise that oh rather not
Speaker 1: just the premise that Trump is evil, but also they
Speaker 1: don't care that their predictions about him for the up
Speaker 1: to this were wrong because nothing the results of his
Speaker 1: presidency don't matter because he's so evil. You see what
Speaker 1: you see how that this is this is a central belief.
Speaker 1: So when they say things like he doesn't care about
Speaker 1: people dying, and you know, Joy Pea who hasn't read
Speaker 1: a book and probably twenty years, you know, she's out
Speaker 1: there spewing this stuff about him. But this is a
Speaker 1: this is really on the left. The consensus belief that
Speaker 1: President Trump isn't evil man. They really think that they
Speaker 1: believe that to be true, and that means that everything
Speaker 1: else is justified, including all of their their changes, um,
Speaker 1: their just demands about voting, and their demands about what
Speaker 1: needs to happen going forward. By the way, I like
Speaker 1: what what Kelly Ann Conway said about this. Uh, she's
Speaker 1: she's Miss Conway is she's got some fighting her play
Speaker 1: clip fifteen. Why why are we presuming five months beforehand
Speaker 1: that people predominantly or exclusively are only going to want
Speaker 1: and be able to vote by mail? People are very
Speaker 1: proud to show up and go to the polls, they
Speaker 1: really are. I mean, they wait in line for a
Speaker 1: Georgetown cupcake for an hour to get a cupcake, So
Speaker 1: I think they can probably wait in line to do
Speaker 1: something as consequential and critical and constitutionally significant as cast
Speaker 1: their ballot. And you know, the other thing that concerns
Speaker 1: me is very is very simple. The Democrats don't like
Speaker 1: their candidate. They didn't want Joe Biden to be their nominee.
Speaker 1: So they're looking for any which way they can to
Speaker 1: find other methods by which to make him more appealing
Speaker 1: to the voters. I suppose they're looking for whatever they
Speaker 1: can do. Notice, as she says they don't like Biden
Speaker 1: as a candidate. That's certainly that. I mean, that's obvious
Speaker 1: the case. Oh by Biden, though when I asked about
Speaker 1: I thought this was really remarkable. When I asked about
Speaker 1: his mental fitness, he goes on offense against Trump. He's like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: when when someone you know, when someone decides he's gonna
Speaker 1: he's gonna come into her come into your house and
Speaker 1: and start, you know, cooking a steak, and you say,
Speaker 1: hey man, what about what about playing a game of
Speaker 1: a bridge? And he's like what And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: and and then I'm take a nap, you know, whatever
Speaker 1: it is. He's whatever it is, it Biden saying, uh,
Speaker 1: he goes on offense against Trump. Here play clip eighteen. Look,
Speaker 1: I mean, talk about a guy who's missing a step.
Speaker 1: He's missing someone. I don't want to get down into
Speaker 1: giving him nicknames, but this is a fellow whom he
Speaker 1: looks like he's having trouble controlled his own emotions. Um.
Speaker 1: What worries me is, uh, you know all this stuff
Speaker 1: about Biden's hiding, well, you know, the fact of the
Speaker 1: matter is it's working pretty well so far, doing the rules.
Speaker 1: He's behind in almost every every state. Um doesn't mean
Speaker 1: it's going to be that way come November. But the
Speaker 1: idea that he seems to get more erratic the more
Speaker 1: he feels like he's behind the Kurt a little bit
Speaker 1: more and more like gurgling with Gergen over here at
Speaker 1: CN remember that guy, or for Nixon Regan or let's
Speaker 1: let's go to David Gergen with an analysis of the
Speaker 1: Trump versus Biden campaign. You know Anderson Cooper always yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's let's let's go to let's go to David Gergen.
Speaker 1: He's he's worked the last fifteen presidents in a row
Speaker 1: or and Ford and Reagan or Whitehouse or a water Great.
Speaker 1: I can do that. I can do the hit for
Speaker 1: Gurgling Gurgan all. I don't know why they'll just pay
Speaker 1: me here, David could stay home. We know you can
Speaker 1: just give me a cut or reflection Niction and Ford
Speaker 1: and Reagan. Yep, that's what you got. It's what you
Speaker 1: get from Biden to basically just sounds a little different.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcasts. The iHeart radio app or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, everybody, it's time to
Speaker 1: expand your minds. It's Harsanyi time. David Harsani joins us now.
Speaker 1: He is a writer at National Review, going to run
Speaker 1: down some of the most important things going on across
Speaker 1: the country, perhaps even around the world. Mister Harsani, how
Speaker 1: you doing. I'm doing well, How are you doing? I'm
Speaker 1: all right, man. So you've had this series of recent
Speaker 1: disclosures of what had been classified information from inside the
Speaker 1: intelligence community. It got out thanks to Rick Grannell, and
Speaker 1: now we know that the targeting of Flynn was was
Speaker 1: bad news. Uh it was. It was a set up
Speaker 1: the FBI. Wait all, what we've been saying for years
Speaker 1: was all true. How do you describe the Democrat media
Speaker 1: and Democrat party maneuvering It's it feels to me like
Speaker 1: nothing has changed. They're just still right in there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well there was collusion in Flynn line. Oh okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's a cliche, but they're gaslighting people by pretending,
Speaker 1: you know, first, by deflecting away from the point. You know,
Speaker 1: they bring up that, uh you know that Flynn was
Speaker 1: a bad guy in other ways that he had dealings
Speaker 1: with Turkey and so on and Russia, which might well
Speaker 1: be true, it might not be true, but that's not
Speaker 1: what he was prosecuted on. That's not what he pled to,
Speaker 1: and that's not you know, pertinent right now in this
Speaker 1: discussion over over why they set him up, Why the
Speaker 1: FBI didn't think he was lying to them but still
Speaker 1: went forward with with, you know, with going after him.
Speaker 1: Why Mueller still, you know, when after him, when when
Speaker 1: he knew that the conversation Splendid had with the Russian ambassador,
Speaker 1: We're not undermining US policy in any way. So all
Speaker 1: of those questions need to be answered, and as we
Speaker 1: have been doing for the last few years, we just
Speaker 1: need to ignore the people on the experts on CNN
Speaker 1: and lawfare and MSNBC and just keep moving forward because
Speaker 1: there's a lot of evidence and a lot of facts
Speaker 1: that that that support our position on this. And it
Speaker 1: feels like, I don't know if you saw that that
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal editorial from the former CBS News president
Speaker 1: where he said, I gotta tell you it was a
Speaker 1: little bit of like a Captain obvious editorial. For me,
Speaker 1: it was like, yeah, dude, we already know this, But
Speaker 1: he's saying the media is never getting less partisan because
Speaker 1: the partisanship is actually where the that's where the sauce is.
Speaker 1: That's where you make your money and get your audience.
Speaker 1: And and people that are pretending not to be partisan
Speaker 1: while being partisan just just do so because it it
Speaker 1: enhances h you know, the But the credibility in the
Speaker 1: eyes of their part is an audience that's watching. Oh well,
Speaker 1: this is just the facts and the truth that I'm
Speaker 1: getting from my left wing hack. But it feels like
Speaker 1: we've now at least recognized there's no accountability in any
Speaker 1: of this stuff for being no one. I have yet
Speaker 1: to see a single maya culpa editorial from anyone about
Speaker 1: being wrong on Russia collusion. Uh, you know, the whole
Speaker 1: Flynn targeting, all of it. I haven't seen. Have you
Speaker 1: seen one? I haven't seen a single one. No. I
Speaker 1: mean I wrote a really long rant against the media
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and I made the point to
Speaker 1: say that I think that the incentive in the media
Speaker 1: today right is to be part of that. It's not
Speaker 1: to be a good reporter. You don't you don't make
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Your job isn't any safer. You
Speaker 1: don't build a giant audience on Twitter by being straight
Speaker 1: down the line reporter. That that's not what you do.
Speaker 1: What you do is uh, you become a partisan and
Speaker 1: you go after Donald Trump, you know for the most part,
Speaker 1: and you're going to build a big audience. So to
Speaker 1: walk back three four years of your old hysterics over
Speaker 1: a Russia collusion that destroys your brand, you can't do that.
Speaker 1: You just have to move forward. And as you said,
Speaker 1: there there there is no accountability. Like you know, when
Speaker 1: I worked in a newspaper fifteen years ago, let's say,
Speaker 1: a pretty big newspaper at the Denver Post, and I
Speaker 1: had written something accusing someone of something horrible and being
Speaker 1: a traitor or sedition. They want a lot of facts
Speaker 1: to back that up. And if I had been wrong
Speaker 1: and had gone out on a limb, there would be
Speaker 1: I would have to answer for that right and for
Speaker 1: much smaller things than that. Obviously, I was, you know,
Speaker 1: covering local news for the most part in the beginning
Speaker 1: when I was reporting. But even then, even in those
Speaker 1: stories there was accountability you get in trouble. There's none
Speaker 1: of that today. You can just move forward. You could
Speaker 1: be Max Boot or whoever and say whatever you want,
Speaker 1: and even as a columnist, and never have to answer
Speaker 1: for pret mistakes which are abundant. Right So, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to say one part of this that feels like
Speaker 1: it has been lost, and maybe you can help. You
Speaker 1: write very excellent columns at National Review. And this is
Speaker 1: a theme I'd like to be just more broadly understood
Speaker 1: as the public grapples with what happened here, at least
Speaker 1: the people that are willing to look at it honestly.
Speaker 1: Is the way that all of our you know, they
Speaker 1: talk so much about our institutions, right that was a
Speaker 1: huge talking point for the first few years, the Trump,
Speaker 1: oh Trump is undermining our sacred institutions of democracy, like, well,
Speaker 1: whatever that means, it wasn't even really clear always what
Speaker 1: that was supposed to be. By criticizing some people in
Speaker 1: the press, he's attacking the First Amendment. I mean, the
Speaker 1: stuff they said is insane, But the inability to understand
Speaker 1: what it means when good faith is not an expectation
Speaker 1: for those in power within the bureaucracy, particularly in law enforcement.
Speaker 1: What they've really fallen back on in the Russia collusion
Speaker 1: thing is, well, these FBI guys. You know, they believe
Speaker 1: that Flynn was a Russian agent, so everything else they
Speaker 1: did is more or less just fied. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: when I was in the CIA, or you know, let's
Speaker 1: say that I was working with someone in the FBI
Speaker 1: and I fed him, I said, you know, I think
Speaker 1: this person might be handing who has classified information, might
Speaker 1: be handing over classified stuff. I've just got a gut
Speaker 1: feeling about it. If the FBI then rated that person's
Speaker 1: house through tear gas in pulled them out of the
Speaker 1: shower naked with MP five's drawn on them. Normal human
Speaker 1: beings would have a problem with that, But in the
Speaker 1: Russia collusion situation, we're told that that's okay, and let's
Speaker 1: concede to them that everything they say about how to
Speaker 1: start it is true, right the gut feeling, you know,
Speaker 1: they thought Flynn was a bad guy. They believed a
Speaker 1: lot of what was in the dossier, etc. After you
Speaker 1: see what happened, and after you see the abuse of
Speaker 1: power that Trump could use. Right now, if you felt like,
Speaker 1: according to their own standards, you would walk it back
Speaker 1: and at least they listen. I think Trump's a bad guy.
Speaker 1: I think he's in bed with Russian in many ways.
Speaker 1: I don't like I think Flynn's a bad guy, but
Speaker 1: we have a process. Process is more important, you know,
Speaker 1: and justice is more important than having a police force,
Speaker 1: and you know, and an FBI in a justice department
Speaker 1: we can trust are more important than just going after
Speaker 1: Trump all the time. But they never they can never
Speaker 1: concede a set. It's like the whole thing with Trump.
Speaker 1: People think I'm you know, because I defend him on this.
Speaker 1: I'm pro Trump, right, I don't really care that much
Speaker 1: about Trump. I can hear more about the abuses that
Speaker 1: are going on. If it would trust me, they would
Speaker 1: have done this to George Bush, Mitt Romney, anyone that
Speaker 1: you know, all of those guys in my opinion. But
Speaker 1: Trump is the only president new sort of fight spect
Speaker 1: the way he does. But I'm not sure that's always
Speaker 1: a good idea, But quite often I think it's fine.
Speaker 1: And that's what makes them even matter and more sort
Speaker 1: of you know, stuck in a position that they won't
Speaker 1: even concede the most obvious things like that that Flynn
Speaker 1: was railroaded, you know, I mean it seems obvious to say, okay,
Speaker 1: Flynn was railroaded. This is over anyway, right, the Russian
Speaker 1: collusion thing's over. It's fine to concede things now, isn't.
Speaker 1: It seems to me it would be, but they don't.
Speaker 1: Speaking to David Harsani, David, also want to ask you
Speaker 1: about the big fight right now over mail mail in
Speaker 1: ballots for the whole election and what's going on with
Speaker 1: all these different states and you know, Okay, also, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you if you can just tell us
Speaker 1: a little bit about what Pelosi's trying here. But what
Speaker 1: do you see going on? And and and how obvious
Speaker 1: is it to you that this stinks to high heaven.
Speaker 1: That's quite that's begging the question, is it not? But yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually do think it's stinks. I mean it stinks
Speaker 1: in the sense that they're using an emergency to try
Speaker 1: to push through initiatives that they that they have been,
Speaker 1: you know, a hobby horse for them for for years
Speaker 1: and years and years, So they're using this emergency to
Speaker 1: push that through. There they are in a sense. What
Speaker 1: I don't like is not just the paper ballots, but
Speaker 1: that we're nationalizing, we're trying to nationalize the election process.
Speaker 1: I don't I think that those are problematic um as
Speaker 1: far as paper ballots themselves. I don't like them because
Speaker 1: I think it shouldn't be easier to vote. I think
Speaker 1: it should be harder to vote. I've not never you know,
Speaker 1: for all of arkins, I've never hidden that. So I
Speaker 1: think the heart, you know, I think I voting is
Speaker 1: actually sacred, and that actually as important as they say that,
Speaker 1: we should have to put a little effort into it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like if the state can mandate that you
Speaker 1: might have to show up and spend a couple weeks
Speaker 1: of your life, you know, determining whether or not someone
Speaker 1: who got called with you know, a pound of coke
Speaker 1: somewhere should go to prison. You know. I feel like
Speaker 1: if you're able to do that as part of your
Speaker 1: civic duty, you should be able to show up and
Speaker 1: vote in person. That doesn't seem to me like it's
Speaker 1: asking too much, especially if it's every four years, right,
Speaker 1: And I think that part of this effort to make
Speaker 1: it so easy to vote, that essentially we come to
Speaker 1: your house, you do what you want, to take the
Speaker 1: vote from you and move on, is to have to
Speaker 1: compel people or entice people who don't care to vote,
Speaker 1: who don't know what's going on to vote. I think
Speaker 1: you want ignorant voters. I think that's the key, and
Speaker 1: I have long had a problem with that. In fact,
Speaker 1: I still believe, despite you know, by the history of this,
Speaker 1: because I think we're in a different world now than
Speaker 1: we used to be, that there should be some kind
Speaker 1: of test for voting. You know, just wow, David Harsani
Speaker 1: with a TESTA this is this is spicy stuff. People
Speaker 1: get so upset whenever you say a basic civic test
Speaker 1: for voting. For example, oh my gosh, we're not even
Speaker 1: allowed to have English as as the national language. I
Speaker 1: understand this is never going to happen, but I think
Speaker 1: that having some listen. I don't think it would even
Speaker 1: change any of the results. But I think having some
Speaker 1: basic understanding of American civics, the kind of understanding that
Speaker 1: a new citizen has right the antic contests to take
Speaker 1: contests to become a citizen, my parents to contest to
Speaker 1: become a citizen, is something that we should easily be
Speaker 1: able to pass. You can take in a million times
Speaker 1: if you need to, but you should need to know
Speaker 1: the very basic specific life to vote. Obviously, there's an
Speaker 1: ugly history there because people, you know, try to take
Speaker 1: the way the right of African Americans to vote in
Speaker 1: the South and all of that. I get it. It's
Speaker 1: a different world. I think that we need a more
Speaker 1: educated electorate. But this is just, of course a thought experiment.
Speaker 1: Is that. I mean, when I'm when I vote in
Speaker 1: New York City, I'm always amazed. You look at the
Speaker 1: ballot and I know, I'm a reasonably you know, I
Speaker 1: have a good general knowledge of a lot of things
Speaker 1: that are you know, global affairs related. I can't even
Speaker 1: tell you. There are so many languages that the ballots
Speaker 1: are printed, and I can't even tell you what all
Speaker 1: the languages are. I mean, I think they get they
Speaker 1: get into like Sanskrit and you know, tie and I mean,
Speaker 1: I can't tell all these things apart. I've never been
Speaker 1: one of these like people gets mad that they're you know,
Speaker 1: there's a you know, Press two for Spanish kind of
Speaker 1: press one for Spanish actually these days. But you know,
Speaker 1: I think that the English language is it's one of
Speaker 1: the glues that holds together society and helps newcomers, you know,
Speaker 1: become become Americans. So I'm obviously I do worry when
Speaker 1: you have people voting. We don't even maybe have any
Speaker 1: clue what's going on? You know, David Harsani, David, what's
Speaker 1: your next piece? Is going to be on Trump's regular
Speaker 1: executive order on tech company, which I absolutely hate. Oh,
Speaker 1: give us a quick goal before I was going to
Speaker 1: let you go back to your life, but give us
Speaker 1: a quick preview here. What's what's your take on it?
Speaker 1: This is my life, man, m I h you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is an Obama ass kind of runaround
Speaker 1: of legislature which didn't which didn't intend this law to
Speaker 1: be u you know, they are to make sure that
Speaker 1: we have a fairness doctrine. It was there for other
Speaker 1: reasons to stop people from being sued all the time
Speaker 1: on the internet and to help websites deal with indecency
Speaker 1: indecency on their site. So I think that that's not
Speaker 1: the will or the intent of the legislature. And more
Speaker 1: than that, you know, he's setting up some kind of
Speaker 1: like White House task force where people are going to
Speaker 1: be able to report on other people who are censoring them.
Speaker 1: I mean, and now we're gonna have the White House
Speaker 1: keeping lists of censorship. It's of private you know, on
Speaker 1: private sites. It's just I think it's an illiberal idea.
Speaker 1: But more than that, I just don't you know he
Speaker 1: got I'm against the fact check that Twitter did. I
Speaker 1: think it was stupid and arbitrary. We're not so arbitrary,
Speaker 1: maybe just targeting the president, But that doesn't mean I
Speaker 1: think that, you know, now, we should be able to
Speaker 1: tear apart. It's relatively neutral. But don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: I think that the criticisms of Twitter and Facebook and
Speaker 1: YouTube are merited. But I think that the solution that
Speaker 1: you're coming up with is only going to empower government.
Speaker 1: And when you have an Attorney General Kamala Harris implementing
Speaker 1: those rules, you're not gonna like it very much. All right,
Speaker 1: David Harslani and Natural View everyone, David, thanks so much, Man,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Hi, thank you. You're in the Freedom Hunt.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. Leadership Today
Speaker 1: also apparently consistent spreading vile conspiracy theories on Twitter about
Speaker 1: the death of a former staffer for then Congressman Shoe
Speaker 1: Scarborough and doing it over and over again, traumatizing her
Speaker 1: family and her husband so deeply that he wrote to
Speaker 1: Twitter begging the company to take down the prison tweets
Speaker 1: because they're not true about his wife. What a little man.
Speaker 1: He's just a little man. He's a leader of the
Speaker 1: free world, and he is a little little man, a
Speaker 1: self proclaimed wartime leader, a leader in the midst he says,
Speaker 1: of a transition to greatness for the country, spreading falsehoods
Speaker 1: about a dead woman despite the pain and the police
Speaker 1: of her husband and the family. He doesn't even have
Speaker 1: the guts to say he doesn't care about what they think. No, no,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the guts to say, you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't care what they think because this serves my
Speaker 1: political purposes. That's why he's doing it. He doesn't have
Speaker 1: the guts to say that because he is just a
Speaker 1: little man. Despite his girth and size, he's a little
Speaker 1: man inside. And he knows that. Okay, First of all,
Speaker 1: I mean, George Stephanopolis is a little man. If we're really,
Speaker 1: if we're gonna go there, I mean we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about And second of all, isn't Anderson Cooper is supposed
Speaker 1: to be at He's supposed to be an objective journal
Speaker 1: calling the president repeatedly you know, a derogatory name, or
Speaker 1: you know, to to take a shot at him in
Speaker 1: this way. And but you know, we're supposed to say,
Speaker 1: or night after night tune in to watch Anderson ridolf
Speaker 1: of a prompter and ask obvious questions of basically nothing
Speaker 1: but Democrats and all pushing the same point of view. Um, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what. That seems objective. That seems fair minded to me.
Speaker 1: I also, though, I have a more serious point to
Speaker 1: make here, and and I like I tell you this,
Speaker 1: I I think the president likes I think he likes
Speaker 1: to sometimes, uh Rush, I know Rush said this yesterday.
Speaker 1: The president likes to he likes to poke it at
Speaker 1: his enemy sometimes. And you know, I'll leave it to
Speaker 1: you as to whether or not you you always agree
Speaker 1: with how he does it, all right, But onto the
Speaker 1: CNN component of this for a moment. Here, if Anderson
Speaker 1: Cooper is expressing a lot of a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: emotional solidarity with the family of this woman who died
Speaker 1: a long time ago. And I just would note, has
Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper ever expressed any solemnity on air for the
Speaker 1: people who have been destroyed, their lives ruined recently by CNN.
Speaker 1: I just you know, here he is, he's saying a
Speaker 1: more a moral stand. You know, Trump is putting the
Speaker 1: family through so much pain and look that does it
Speaker 1: seems like it's a it's a very tragic situation for
Speaker 1: the family, and it would be nice if everybody would
Speaker 1: would have respect for that. But does CNN ever talk about, oh,
Speaker 1: what has been done to in general? Flann is a
Speaker 1: perfect example of it. You think that his career and
Speaker 1: reputation being ruined, threatening to throw his son into prison
Speaker 1: that got into anything wrong? Did Does CNN ever get
Speaker 1: bothered by that? Do they? Do? They worry about the
Speaker 1: people that they have doxed and and gotten either fired
Speaker 1: from their jobs or gotten you know, just everyday, everyday civilians,
Speaker 1: normal people who get death threats because CNN wants to
Speaker 1: make a point about someone. You know, remember the guy
Speaker 1: who did a meme I didn't remember what the meme
Speaker 1: was now, but it was a meme that involved Trump,
Speaker 1: I think, beating up a CNN logo or something. And
Speaker 1: then they found out who he was and then they
Speaker 1: went after him. What I'm trying to tell you is
Speaker 1: that CNN is really no more ethical or decent than
Speaker 1: Media Matters for America, which is a trash heap where
Speaker 1: any person of integrity and character would be ashamed to work.
Speaker 1: Ashamed CNN is getting very close into at least for
Speaker 1: the on air people into that category. Like I understand
Speaker 1: for producers, you know, you got to get the jobs
Speaker 1: where you can at CNN pays well and everything else.
Speaker 1: But for some of these on air talents, when when
Speaker 1: do they feel like CNN is just doing damage, is
Speaker 1: actually harming people. They did a lot of damage with
Speaker 1: Russia collusion, happy to see people sent to prison for
Speaker 1: no real reason, happy to see reputations ruined, to smear
Speaker 1: people in the public, No, no remorse over this whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Tapper or getting this whole thing started, Cooper fanning the
Speaker 1: flames the whole time, don Lemon going on TV to
Speaker 1: just be an idiot, I mean, you know what exactly,
Speaker 1: And then you know, Aaron, does anyone watch Aaron Burnett show? Oh,
Speaker 1: you know CNN. I'm sure they've got you know, built
Speaker 1: in audience and all the airports, so I'm sure some
Speaker 1: people are watching it. What's amazing to me is that
Speaker 1: someone laying in Aaron Burnett's category at even at CNN,
Speaker 1: has any negotiating power whatsoever with management, because not like
Speaker 1: no one, you're a place Aaron Burnett with fifteen other
Speaker 1: people at CNN and no one is going to notice
Speaker 1: or care Cooper as a following. There are some others
Speaker 1: there that have their own following, but some of those
Speaker 1: anchors this is more of a business commentary. It's remarkable
Speaker 1: to me. Oh wait, but I mentioned Don Lemmon. We
Speaker 1: also have have Don Lemon here play nineteen. Okay. So
Speaker 1: the president was speaking at an event on protecting the
Speaker 1: help of seniors, and you know what, if he really
Speaker 1: cared about seniors, he would encourage people to wear masks
Speaker 1: to say the lives of those seniors who make up
Speaker 1: a large portion of the coronavirus deaths. But this president
Speaker 1: would rather mock a reporter. He would rather mock Joe
Speaker 1: Biden for doing what doing what every American has been doing.
Speaker 1: Most Americans have been doing the right thing, and that
Speaker 1: is wearing a mask, mocking him for being a real
Speaker 1: man unlike the president and doing what he should be doing.
Speaker 1: These are their news anchors, and they're crashing the President
Speaker 1: of the United States night after night in personal terms.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. All right, you know, and they still
Speaker 1: they cling to the fiction nonetheless that they are an
Speaker 1: objective news network. And it's just it just couldn't be
Speaker 1: any more preposterous and in the background, as all these
Speaker 1: bad things are happen opening in this country, you got
Speaker 1: crazy Nancy. Who's how many wine coolers have I had today?
Speaker 1: You know, Nancy's out there still, I'm master legislator. Yeah, yeah, whatever, Nancy.
Speaker 1: She's gonna push this to the max, and the media
Speaker 1: is going to be there pushing her every step of
Speaker 1: the way. Play clip nine. We have to open the economy.
Speaker 1: We have to do so in a way that gives
Speaker 1: more opportunity for access to care, to credit, to opportunity
Speaker 1: in our country, because, as mister Kleberent said, this is
Speaker 1: an opportunity every crisis is. It is a crisis for sure,
Speaker 1: a crisis largely at this point of lockdowners and mostly
Speaker 1: on the left, but not entirely lockdowners making and just
Speaker 1: wait and see what they have in store for us
Speaker 1: in the months ahead. We have had a reordering of
Speaker 1: political priorities that has occurred in real time because of
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen crisis that we are just beginning to
Speaker 1: really see where all of this is going. That's why
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone can anticipate even what the primary
Speaker 1: what the primary issues that will move that small sliver
Speaker 1: of voters come the fall. No one really even knows
Speaker 1: what it will be at this point, and you got
Speaker 1: with Pelosi circling in the background, waiting to exploit the
Speaker 1: situation to the maximum. Just you wait and see. These
Speaker 1: people are shameless, shameless, I tell you. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on
Speaker 1: Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your
Speaker 1: podcasts like Soft Butter on Warm Toast. Time to spread
Speaker 1: some freedom coast to coast. It's time for roll call. Indeed,
Speaker 1: it is time for the roll call, the call of
Speaker 1: the role. Thank you so much for us sticking through
Speaker 1: to this point in the show. Everybody. I feel like
Speaker 1: for some of you it's one of your favorite parts
Speaker 1: of the show. Certainly one of my favorite parts because
Speaker 1: I get to hear from all of you. Facebook dot
Speaker 1: com slash Buck Sexton if you want to send Facebook messages,
Speaker 1: Team Buck at iHeartMedia dot com is the email if
Speaker 1: you want to send it to us that way, or
Speaker 1: producer Mark loves Carrier pigeon or passenger. You know a
Speaker 1: carrier pigeon that with the little or messenger pigeon. I
Speaker 1: guess it is with the little thing attached to the foot, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it can be like a Hogwarts owl. They'll just find me, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Just just tell your carrier pigeon, put your little scroll
Speaker 1: on its tiny little bird foot and send it out
Speaker 1: there and say find producer Mark. He loves it when
Speaker 1: the pigeon lands on his window sill and leaves him
Speaker 1: a couple of presents, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's his favorite. Yes, And if you give the pigeon
Speaker 1: fudge for me too, that'd be great. Also. There we go.
Speaker 1: But what is the one food you have not been
Speaker 1: able to get in quarantine that you are as soon
Speaker 1: as like all the options are on the table again,
Speaker 1: you're just gonna go after with a vengeance. It was
Speaker 1: sushi for a while because all the Asian restaurants pretty
Speaker 1: much closed because people were not going to them because
Speaker 1: they thought they had coronavirus, which was obviously wrong. But
Speaker 1: that's just what happened, I guess now. I mean, maybe
Speaker 1: it's just because I haven't found a good Chinese place
Speaker 1: in my new area, but I think Chinese food is
Speaker 1: the one thing I haven't had in a while. I
Speaker 1: have not you know what you're I haven't had Chinese
Speaker 1: food in the entire there's there are a couple of
Speaker 1: Vietnamese restaurants that have stayed open and I've been ordering
Speaker 1: from them all the time. And let me tell you,
Speaker 1: if you eat enough Foo, your belly will grow. But
Speaker 1: the yeah, having a Chinese food a while, so that
Speaker 1: will be kind of exciting. And there is gluten free
Speaker 1: Chinese in New York. For those of you who are like,
Speaker 1: how can you do that? It turns out you can.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to it. Steve love your show
Speaker 1: on Freedom ninety three seven in the Denver area. Yes,
Speaker 1: we love our Denver audience. Man, you guys have made
Speaker 1: us the number one time show a time. Can I
Speaker 1: speak English? Maybe you're not gonna listen anymore if I
Speaker 1: don't number one show in our time slot in Denver.
Speaker 1: So thank you so much for that, and keep keep listening,
Speaker 1: keep keep telling people about us. The curve has been flattened,
Speaker 1: Steve writes. Now it is a time to flatten the fear.
Speaker 1: People may be doing more harm than good to themselves
Speaker 1: by wearing those silly masks outdoors. Besides, they look like
Speaker 1: stupid sheeple and that offends me. Yes, liberals. Mass stupidity
Speaker 1: offends me. Give to Lula a pat on the head
Speaker 1: for me, and of course shield tie well, Steve, thank
Speaker 1: you so much for writing in Man, and yes, I
Speaker 1: will give to Lula. Wants more than a pad on
Speaker 1: the head. She usually wants me to like kiss the
Speaker 1: ring on her little paw so that I have shown
Speaker 1: Royal Highness that I've paid all necessary homage to her.
Speaker 1: So there you go. But yeah, the masks outdoors, it
Speaker 1: makes no sense, but people are doing it all over
Speaker 1: the place. It's become a symbol as doctor Fouci. Now,
Speaker 1: I know some of you are going to figure out
Speaker 1: that my doctor Fauci sounds a little like my joy
Speaker 1: Bayhaw Fouci and Bayhall. Think about that as a show.
Speaker 1: That would be quite a show. We'll have to see
Speaker 1: if I can make that one happen. Andrea, Hey, Buck
Speaker 1: Black and Decker Craftsman is closing their plant in China
Speaker 1: and moving to Texas. Maybe Buck and producer Mark should
Speaker 1: follow their lead. Andrew, I'm just telling your producer Marks already,
Speaker 1: he's already cast his vote for Florida. If the Freedom
Speaker 1: Hunt goes mobile, it's gonna be real tough to get
Speaker 1: this guy to go anywhere other than Florida. That that
Speaker 1: that I can tell you, and I can I really
Speaker 1: how much can I really disagree with that? You got
Speaker 1: great food? Great Whether it's not a communist dystopia, there's
Speaker 1: some upside to it close to the beach beaches, beautiful beach?
Speaker 1: Did have I mentionedly leave that Florida has no state
Speaker 1: income tax? Yes, and no state income tax. I'm into it.
Speaker 1: TJ writes in Buck. I'm not a fan of the
Speaker 1: Trump four D chess theories, and I know that Trump
Speaker 1: often shoots himself in the foot via Twitter, most recent
Speaker 1: example being Trump's insistence to go after Scarborough on these
Speaker 1: murder conspiracies. With that being said, is it possible that
Speaker 1: Trump's trying to get himself kicked off Twitter? My theory
Speaker 1: being that the most effective way to hit Twitter hard
Speaker 1: would be for them to disown him and not him
Speaker 1: leaving them. Perhaps he's trying to find a way to
Speaker 1: effectively switch over to a new platform like Parlor. I
Speaker 1: know this is fairly out there as a grand conspiracy,
Speaker 1: and it's much more like that Trump just likes to
Speaker 1: shoot himself in the foot, but just trying to think
Speaker 1: outside of the box, you know, TJ. I don't think
Speaker 1: that that's what's going on here. I think the president
Speaker 1: likes to stick his thumb in the eye of his
Speaker 1: ideological opponents and doesn't like to play by the rules
Speaker 1: of decorum they set, even when sometimes those rules of
Speaker 1: decorum would be fair, you know, or would be understandable. Trump,
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't hold back and he throws punches,
Speaker 1: and that's the way it's going to be. As for
Speaker 1: Parlor or these other apps. I just think that it's
Speaker 1: such a look at Facebook and the durability of Facebook.
Speaker 1: I think that once a social media platform has achieved
Speaker 1: that true dominance, it's it's a winner take all position,
Speaker 1: and second and third platforms are really irrelevant because you
Speaker 1: need that critical mass of users and you need all
Speaker 1: of that to you know. It's just there's Look, how
Speaker 1: many of you use a search engine other than Google? Honestly,
Speaker 1: think about that for a second. I mean, there could
Speaker 1: be a hundred search engines out there, but you really
Speaker 1: just use Google. Don't you rusta mark? Do you ever
Speaker 1: use a non Google search engine? No? And anybody who
Speaker 1: uses bing or something, I just look at them like why,
Speaker 1: I don't even really know how to. I mean Yahoo.
Speaker 1: All I need to know about Yahoo is that they
Speaker 1: paid you know, they had Mercer Mayer as a CEO
Speaker 1: and she basically destroyed the company. Yay, good job. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't get excited about about any other social media
Speaker 1: platforms these days. And you know, we've tried, and we've
Speaker 1: even had some that we've partnered with on the show,
Speaker 1: but it's just so difficult to get to that critical
Speaker 1: mass of users. It's very high hurdle. Gina. Hi again, Bucks,
Speaker 1: So the president's announcement today he wanted to regulate platforms
Speaker 1: like WHOA. The only thing that should be done is
Speaker 1: to create them all as publishers and retract all the
Speaker 1: protections afforded to them as neutral social networks. Then they
Speaker 1: can see the litany of lawsuits that will come as
Speaker 1: they face libel for publishing false info. Being a federalist,
Speaker 1: I do not believe a president is able to slap
Speaker 1: back a private business while applying their rules as they
Speaker 1: are published for all to agree to is something we
Speaker 1: would champion, or should champion. There seems to be a
Speaker 1: better and constitutional way to make them see the light
Speaker 1: shields high, Gina, I think you're correct. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is what I've been saying too. We have to make
Speaker 1: sure that these social media platforms are living by the
Speaker 1: same rules that other media platforms do and the same
Speaker 1: standards that they do. And if they're going to be
Speaker 1: engaged in publisher activity, as in the active editing of
Speaker 1: things just based on what they like and don't like,
Speaker 1: well then don't they have to be responsible the same
Speaker 1: way that a newspaper would for what they're printing. And
Speaker 1: that's the center. That's the center, that's the heart of
Speaker 1: this debate right now. And I don't think that the
Speaker 1: I don't think of the executive order. We'll have to
Speaker 1: see what the President has to say about this executive
Speaker 1: order and with the specifics of it. Steve Buck, I
Speaker 1: enjoy your show, but you're championing of Aunt Becky is tiresome.
Speaker 1: She's getting far less of a punishment than she deserves. Remember,
Speaker 1: her conniving dishonesty likely deprive two deserving young women of
Speaker 1: the positions her daughters were awarded. Elites simply don't deserve
Speaker 1: special treatment as a result of their well, whoa whole
Speaker 1: lot of second, Steve, First of all, thank you right
Speaker 1: didn't give me heat when I deserve it. I am
Speaker 1: biased in favor of Aunt Becky, not because she's an elite,
Speaker 1: but because I had a huge crush on her when
Speaker 1: I was a kid and she was on Full House
Speaker 1: and she was like the hottest adult lady I'd ever seen. Okay,
Speaker 1: So it has nothing to do with oh, she's fancy
Speaker 1: and the elites. It's because when I was fifteen, I
Speaker 1: was like, man, Damn Becky's so pretty. Hun, just Damn
Speaker 1: Becky's pretty. That's it. That's it, you know. So that's
Speaker 1: all that's all I got for you. I don't know
Speaker 1: what else to tell you that I'm I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it makes me right, you're better, but I am also
Speaker 1: the hold on a second months in prison, months in
Speaker 1: prison for this. Why can't you know the school should
Speaker 1: just you know, take the next two people they had
Speaker 1: on the waiting list, kicked out, the kick out her
Speaker 1: two girls, and you know, pay a big fine or something.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I think Priston's a little Her husband,
Speaker 1: Massimo is going to prison for like six months. So anyway,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry you think it's tiresome, but I
Speaker 1: just want to be clear. It's not because they're like
Speaker 1: fancy I don't give a crap. I love fancy people
Speaker 1: who are bad going to prison. It's great. It's because
Speaker 1: when I was young, she was very pretty and I
Speaker 1: liked her. James Buck, when you get the press on
Speaker 1: the podcast, you should let him do roll call. That
Speaker 1: would be so cool. She'll tie from w G Y Well,
Speaker 1: my friend, if that happens, that would be that would
Speaker 1: be really fun idea that could you imagine that the
Speaker 1: president doing roll call? Oh my gosh, it'd be great.
Speaker 1: But here I am in the freedom hud, the best,
Speaker 1: the most free freedom hud of any freedom hood in
Speaker 1: the world. It's like the best freedom hud. Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Pablo all right saying, hey, Buck, I remember you did
Speaker 1: a good podcast which you named MSNBC can't math good.
Speaker 1: That's a we do well when there is opportunity the
Speaker 1: news cycle. We do have some pretty great titles. I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you. There was a CBS reporter report story
Speaker 1: reporting that since my state is opened, we have experienced
Speaker 1: a one hundred and eleven percent increase in wuhan flu cases.
Speaker 1: Before we opened, there were thirty five cases, and since open,
Speaker 1: we have an increase to thirty nine active cases. I
Speaker 1: went ahead and did the math myself and came up
Speaker 1: with a frac below nine percent. I did discover that
Speaker 1: thirty nine is about one hundred and eleven percent of
Speaker 1: thirty five. Apparently leftist journalist didn't have to take basic
Speaker 1: math shields. High buck, ps, keep fighting the good fight.
Speaker 1: I think your show is the best on the air. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you so much, Thank you so much. I really
Speaker 1: do appreciate that. It's very kind of you. Pablo means
Speaker 1: a lot, and yeah, no, it's true. Look, journalists, journalists
Speaker 1: can't math good. And I'm look, I'm not exactly a
Speaker 1: math wizard myself, so I try to. But I own
Speaker 1: my mistakes. I own them, Bart hi Buck not sure
Speaker 1: how to email you, Well, apparently you are sure how
Speaker 1: to email me, Bart, But I wanted to say I
Speaker 1: listen to your show daily and really enjoy it. That
Speaker 1: being said, I have to let you know your Doctor
Speaker 1: fauci impersonation cracks me up, always gives me a good
Speaker 1: laugh on the days I need it. I work at
Speaker 1: a box factory in Coleman. Also, I've been essential through
Speaker 1: this entire fiasco in our country going through right now.
Speaker 1: I appreciate your show and your opinions you share daily
Speaker 1: keep up the good work, and a person at doctor
Speaker 1: Fauchie more. It's hilarious. Well, but but we need to
Speaker 1: know are you are you doing the mitigation? You know,
Speaker 1: are you mitigating in your sleep? Are you making sure
Speaker 1: you're washing hands in the shower. You can't just get
Speaker 1: in the shower, turn it on, do a little scrub,
Speaker 1: you know, on pits, back, your bum area. You gotta
Speaker 1: make sure you actually use the soap, and you know,
Speaker 1: you sing happy birthday to yourself and you wash your
Speaker 1: hands in the shower, foot and full mitigation effort. So
Speaker 1: it's a public service announcement to you from doctor Fauci.
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure it's helpful. Does doctor
Speaker 1: Facer Does doctor Foucher use a loofah? You know I
Speaker 1: had to have a I'd have a you know, an
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend a long time ago explain it. I was like,
Speaker 1: what is that thing in the shower? It was? You know,
Speaker 1: I recently started using a Lufa change changing. Really it's great.
Speaker 1: I feel so much more clean. Hey, producer Mark, his
Speaker 1: man card is stamped so many times over he's pro Lufa.
Speaker 1: He's pro Lufa. It's like a watchcloth but better. Mhmm.
Speaker 1: You're in This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right.
Speaker 1: Roll call continues on here, Angela writes, in oh, but
Speaker 1: before I get to this, we got a fun team
Speaker 1: Buck announcement for you on it. But I can't brucer
Speaker 1: Mark said he would code read me if I but
Speaker 1: we do have something coming. I can say that, right,
Speaker 1: Producer Mark. I mean, you already did what. I didn't
Speaker 1: say it. I know I didn't say the thing. I
Speaker 1: just love when we have pre segment conversations like just
Speaker 1: don't say anything, just do a normal show, and then
Speaker 1: you're like you just you can't help yourself sometimes. But
Speaker 1: I just said the thing about that. I didn't say
Speaker 1: what the thing is, and now we're just gonna leave
Speaker 1: him waiting. That's right. Well, the thing is that he's
Speaker 1: going to record Siege of Malta by the end of
Speaker 1: this year. He loves to throw Malta in my face,
Speaker 1: which is fair because I haven't done it yet. Angela, Hey, Bucks,
Speaker 1: So the best thing I've seen on Facebook is requiring
Speaker 1: a mask? Now is Loh's Like, Okay, our VA governor
Speaker 1: is an idiot. We have to work outside. At least
Speaker 1: I don't have to wear a mask. Then I am
Speaker 1: also high risk, but I refuse to live my life
Speaker 1: one day in fear. I have autoimmune and celiac. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry to hear that. Angela's you know I have ciliac too,
Speaker 1: maybe more going through testing now, but I will not
Speaker 1: wear a mask except for work where they're crazy enough
Speaker 1: to require it. Angela, just be safe, take smart, you know,
Speaker 1: take smart precautions, and God bless and keep your shield high.
Speaker 1: Richard hey Buck, hello from North Carolina. I'm sorry behind
Speaker 1: on your show. Richard. We saved a seat for you.
Speaker 1: It's okay, but I am catching up. I'm very excited
Speaker 1: you're coming here. I got yelled at the other day
Speaker 1: by someone because I was outside my house not wearing
Speaker 1: a mask. I gave them a colorful response. People have
Speaker 1: lost their mind. Shields high. Oh that reminds me. I
Speaker 1: was going to give a speech in North Carolina in June,
Speaker 1: but because of state regulations, the hosts have asked me
Speaker 1: to push it back to August. So I was gonna go,
Speaker 1: but state regularly. You know, I can't fight city hall,
Speaker 1: so to speak, so we pushed it to August. I
Speaker 1: will be in the great state of North Carolina giving
Speaker 1: a speech for a whole bunch of folks. Justin right, Hey, Buck,
Speaker 1: I literally yelled yes when you made the point that
Speaker 1: the governors are absolutely responsible for following idiotic and reckless
Speaker 1: advice from the CDC regarding nursing homes. That's the problem
Speaker 1: with blue states. I'm in New Jersey. The governors are followers,
Speaker 1: not leaders, and it is a time. It is time
Speaker 1: for leadership. You asked how we can resist the lockdown
Speaker 1: it is the other day. I say we take a
Speaker 1: page out of the Democrat playbook and start recall campaign
Speaker 1: jus like they did to Scott Walker, except we actually
Speaker 1: have good reason. What are your thoughts, um, I mean, Justin,
Speaker 1: I love the idea of recall campaigns in some of
Speaker 1: these blue states, except you know that I don't think
Speaker 1: that Democrats want to hold people responsible for this. They don't.
Speaker 1: They don't think that what Cuomo did is a big problem,
Speaker 1: so they you know, I don't know. I don't know,
Speaker 1: Christ and I would honestly prefer you stop trying to
Speaker 1: do Trump. I don't think anyone doesn't, well, not even
Speaker 1: Alec Ball that who comes closest. It's hard to do
Speaker 1: Trump's voice without sounding like he's being mocked. So just
Speaker 1: let that one stick with Bernie, Alex Jones, et cetera. Yeah, Chris,
Speaker 1: and I'm with you. I think I'm gonna hang up there.
Speaker 1: Annie and I you know, and I just gently imitate
Speaker 1: the president with with fondness and affection. But but I
Speaker 1: I'm not good. It's not it's not you know, you
Speaker 1: know why. My heart's not in it. You're right, my
Speaker 1: heart's not in it where you with other impersonations like
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci. My heart's in it. My mitigation and my heart.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the shout on everybody talked to you tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Seels high.
