WEBVTT - You Can Be Arrested For Memes 0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:03.520 You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to the 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:07.040 Buck Sexton Show podcast. Get the latest from buckheat buck 0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:13.680 Sexton dot com. Repeat after me. The system is rigged. 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:17.040 You need to know that, You need to understand that. 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:23.520 What is Rick, Let's get into the details. The social 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:30.000 media platforms clearly rigged journalism, news media publishing like the 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:37.319 major book publishers rigged, elections censored. I can't say it right, 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:41.360 can't say it. That's how censored they are that you're 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.200 not even allowed to talk about it, or else you'll 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:47.920 be banned from Google, there'll be a boycott against you, 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.680 you'll cease to exist online. We want to talk about 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.480 something being rigged. When you're not even allowed to talk 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:57.800 about it, then it's really clearly set up against you. 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.360 But then we have what's going on on Wall Street. Now. 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.280 I want to explain this because this is the most 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.920 fascinating story in many ways in America today. And I 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.600 know a lot of you probably don't own stock, or 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:12.000 if you do, you only have a four oh one 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.920 K and the stock market. We often think of it 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.640 the way the media talks about it. It's all a 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.080 bunch of Republicans chomping cigars. You know, making millions. No, 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:26.160 the stock market, in fact is what allows people to retire, 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.200 whether it's a four oh one K or define pension plan, 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.600 because those pension obligations can only be met with the 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.959 returns you get on the market has a massive influence 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:41.480 on employment, on wages, who companies can hire, how many, 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.360 what they can pay them. Right, so we know that 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.640 it's not just Wall Street fatcats running around with wads 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.920 of thousand dollars bills slapping their butlers. That's not what 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.960 Wall Street is. But let's take this as symbolic of 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.720 our overall thesis today for this system is rad or 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.800 that this is perhaps the prime example of it. Right now, 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.640 there is this trading app called robin Hood. Of course 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.600 interesting the name because as we know, the apocryphal, apocryphal 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:13.560 figure of robin Hood stole from the rich to give 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.200 to the poor. But in this era we live in now, 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:22.200 it is possible for anybody who has a smartphone or 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.880 a computer with internet access to set up and start 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:30.880 trading stocks, to start buying and selling a whole slew 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.040 of different commodities, and you can get into short selling. 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.560 You can get into buying puts and calls and options 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:42.000 and bonds, all kinds of stuff, right, And as people 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.160 grow older, they tend to be more interested in this 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:48.679 because they have generally accrued more assets and they want 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.000 to build more comfort in their retirement years, and they 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:55.160 perhaps want to leave more for their families and future generations. Okay, 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.840 what's going on with game Stop right now and AMC 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.079 and BlackBerry these? Why does it matter so much? Here's 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:07.240 here's the basic story we're told about Wall Street that 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:12.760 there are these megahdge funds that are making unbelievable amounts 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.760 of money, you know where where a single hedge funder 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:20.200 will make ten twenty fifty maybe one hundred million dollars 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:24.400 personally in a year, and some of the principles at 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.680 these big hedge funds, they might make in the billions 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:31.919 in a year in one year. And they're not building 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.639 some company that gives products to the whole world. They're 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.920 not creating some service that everybody wants or needs. No, 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:43.760 they are just a giant gambling machine. It's just a 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:49.400 really sophisticated casino system. But the story that you whether 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.400 you're you know, waiting for the kids to come home 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.360 from school right now, or your you know, your your 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.000 husband or your wife's coming home from from the office, 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:03.080 or you're driving a truck cross country. The story you're 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.119 told about Wall Street. And by the way, I come 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.920 from a Wall Street family. I had a father who 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.480 went to Harvard Business School and graduated, went right into 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.920 Wall Street and spent over thirty years as a Wall 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.960 Street guy. My older brother, my little brother. I mean, 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.360 we've got I've got Wall Street all over my family. 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.960 I have the only one of the guys who's never 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:27.400 worked for Wall Street. And they're all very clear eyed 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.560 about what really goes on there and how it's changed 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.920 over the years too, and how yeah, there are there 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.920 are good things that happened. There's markets that need to 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.240 be made, there's companies that need to raise money that 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.919 then provide thousands of jobs. And you know, this is 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:45.080 not a one sided story. But there is a component 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:46.800 of the story that you need to know right now, 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.760 because it's also the story of the Democrat Party, of 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:54.719 the elites of the apparatus. And remember that these Wall 0:04:54.760 --> 0:05:02.279 Street mega billionaire funds are the big money machines for 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:07.480 the politics, the policies, and the culture that we oppose 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:12.200 here on this show. Right all those annoying things. George Soros, 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:17.280 Where do you think he got his money? Massive financial speculation. 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.520 So you may think this doesn't really affect you, But 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.120 if you got kids in school, if you've got a 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.080 mortgage you're paying, if you are just operating in American society, 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.600 I mean maybe if you live fully off the grid, 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:35.359 solar panels, well water, storable food, this lesson planned today 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.480 is not necessarily applicable to you. For everybody else, this 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.200 really matters. And I've been talking to the smartest people 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.560 I know in finance about this, in particular this story 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.479 of the last twenty four hours, and it's remarkable. So 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.719 here's what's happened. You have these megahege funds, and the 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.919 story that we're told is that they are just so 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:57.120 smart and they understand things so much better that they 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.760 can almost predict the future right ordly, predict the future 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.640 of stocks, of companies, of earnings, and they're tend to 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.000 be right now. A lot of a lot of hedge 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:07.920 funds go bust, they go out of business, but they're 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:12.120 really big ones. Somehow, year after year you're told they're 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.720 just so much smarter than the general public. So you know, 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.120 you should just put your money in an ETF you 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.359 should put your money in a CD, you know, don't 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.640 don't get too uppity with thinking that you can also 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.440 make decisions about stocks to buy. Well, now you have 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.120 all these people who have been stuck at home for 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.640 a year. Some will call them the robin Hood Bros, 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.159 named for the robin Hood app. But you know, I 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.280 have different apps that I use as well, and I 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.160 become very involved in trading in recent years of my 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:40.880 own accounts. Not a lot of money, but I do 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.080 think it's an interesting way to understand economics and finance 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.320 in a much more fulsome way. So the robin Hood bros. 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:52.240 Steal from the rich, give to the poor. They recognize 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:56.160 something that there are these huge hedge funds that put 0:06:56.200 --> 0:07:00.880 these shorts on companies, which means that they are selling stock, 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.760 and they're even sometimes where they're at least allegations of 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.920 naked short selling, where they're essentially selling assets they don't 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.679 rd own. Now, the mechanics of this don't really matter 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:17.040 all that much except understand that this suppresses or depresses 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.320 the price of the stock and question, and it can 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.800 destroy companies, including companies that have been very harmed by 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.040 the pandemic that are just getting by. So these hedgephonds 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.080 go around, they go, well, that company's really struggling. Let's 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.720 put a big short on that one, which is essentially 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.760 betting that they will fail, that they'll go down, perhaps 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.360 even go bankrupt, and they make it more likely to 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.480 happen because the stock price falls more expensive for that 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.600 company to borrow, you know. They they're really kind of 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.480 these hedgephones are walking into companies, the companies that you know, 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.200 you know, AMC, BlackBerry, game Stop, and it's like the 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:58.160 companies are on life support and the big hedge funds 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:03.840 are grabbing, you know, grabbing the IV bag and and 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.920 pulling them out of their arms, saying let's let's speed 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:11.360 this along. Oh okay, Well, these individual investors have all 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:16.760 come together now on places like Wall Street, Bets, Reddit threads, 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:22.320 and a you know, did different different platforms online, and 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:26.040 they've just said, you know what, we are going to 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:30.240 go the opposite direction because they're so short that what 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:34.040 they're doing is reckless. They're in fact selling more shares 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:39.240 short of these companies then exist for the company out 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:43.000 on the open market. So what happens is then they 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.480 start buying and pushing the price up and up and up. 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.320 The companies, the hedge funds then have to cover the 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.520 short and they start losing. And they are losing. Here's 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.839 the fun part of the story, friends. These hedge funds 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:59.520 are losing billions and billions and billions of dollars. And 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.079 you know what they've done. I thought that they were 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.080 the masters of the universe. I thought they were the 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:09.480 Titans of Wall Street. They're going and crying to regulators, 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:14.960 crying to web based communications companies, saying, this isn't fair, 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.800 this isn't fair. We're losing. We're supposed to be the 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.440 rich ones. We're not supposed to lose money. Wait. I 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.400 thought this was a market. I thought this was you know, 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.880 you win some, you lose some. Oh no, they're not 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.880 allowed to lose some. That's what you're seeing. And they've 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.280 already gotten this. I mean, this is as clear a 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.160 rigging of the financial system as you could see anywhere. 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.440 They've gotten robin Hood to stop trading, stop allowing trades 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.880 of game stop, which is sort over seventeen hundred percent. 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.040 I think it hit five hundred dollars today and then 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:52.120 it dropped way way way down. But they've stopped trading 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.160 of it. So they're effectively creating almost an artificial crash 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.320 in the stock because people can't buy it. And so 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:58.800 then you have all these people that are the short 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:03.600 sellers and and they're manipulating the market. This is overt 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:10.240 manipulation of the market on behalf of rich jerks. But 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.920 they're rich jerks who have a lot of power, have 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:17.040 a lot of lawyers, send a lot of political donation 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.640 money around, and they really don't want people to figure 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.720 out that they don't have some magic sauce. They're not 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:26.400 a bunch of geniuses. They just have leverage and they 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.320 use it. They just have the ability to manipulate, and 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.640 they do it and people get hurt in the process. 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.920 You know, you look at even somebody like Mitt Romney. 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.360 I mean, there is a dark side to this finance. 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.680 And there's a reason Mitt Romney it did hurt that 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:44.880 he was a vulture capitalist, as they said, not a 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.719 venture capitalist when he was at BADE. Because yeah, what 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.440 some of those private equity firms did as their business model, 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.600 they'll say they turned around the company a lot of 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.200 the time. What they did is they come in, they 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.319 slash and burn, they fire a lot of people, and 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.440 they clear up the balance sheet a little bit, and 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.320 then they take out a tremendous amount of debt pay 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.040 themselves and then they exit. And then they leave and 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:07.480 they say, all right, you know that we're out of there, 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.840 see you later. Well, it's like they've run up the 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.320 company's credit card, gotten all the goodies, and now they 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:18.560 leave somebody else holding the bag. That's what private equity 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.520 often does, not always. Sometimes they do really turn companies 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.280 around and build great businesses. And I don't understand that. 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.760 But this hedge fund short fund, this hedge fund short 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.560 selling situation is the clearest example that you can see 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:35.320 right now of this is rigged. And that's a word 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.280 you need to understand, because social media is rigged, the 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:45.800 economy is rigged, the markets are rigged, elections are censored, 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:51.280 not allowed to say it. Right. You see this happening 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.040 right before your us. There is no other explanation for it. 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:58.240 People from these funds go on TV day after they 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.920 go on CNBC. You know who's watching CNBC. Other people 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.000 in the stock market, other hedge fund traders and people 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.400 go on and they're all colluding. They have these conferences, 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.000 idea dinners they call them, Well, they'll all say, you 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.120 know what, we should all buy this stock, and they 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.120 all buy. The price goes way up, and then they 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:16.840 try to tell the general public, look at a great 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.959 company it is. And then then you and me, using 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.000 our apps or whatever, we put our you know, five 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.120 hundred dollars or a hundred dollars whatever in the stock, 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.200 and then oh, enough of us do that, and the 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.760 companies this is a simplification. But then a lot of 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.600 them will just sort of sell and they'll take their winnings. 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:36.160 So hedge fund owners and representatives can go on cable news, 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:40.880 national news and tell everybody to buy something. But if 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:46.000 you and your friends gathered together and said, I think 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.200 we should all buy this stock, I think we should 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.400 all buy you know, game stop for examples, the big 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.720 one of the news right now, you'll get kicked off 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.160 the internet or at least your your forum will get 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.640 shut down. Your app will decide that you're not allowed 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:01.199 to do that, You're not allowed to buy it anymore. 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:05.400 Why because the rich powerful buddies at the hedge funds 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:11.320 are crying because they're losing money. This is just what 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.240 the Biden administration does. This, This is exactly what you 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.480 see playing out in our politics too. You want to 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.240 win an election, you know, it's a really good way 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.840 to do it. Change all the rules in the election year, 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.199 Change the rules about mail in balloting, change the rules 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.000 about eligibility and who gets it sent to them, and 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:33.319 what signature matches happen. Control the system, and then when 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.440 it goes your way, say you must abide by the system. 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.439 That's what the hedge funders do. That's what Biden, that's 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.200 what the Democrats do. The system doesn't work out for you, 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.000 which we're seeing right now for these hedge funds, then 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.640 you know what you say, it's not fair. We have 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:48.880 to change it so it does work out for us. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.360 See this, friends, see how many places in American public 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.720 life now it is in fact rigged. And this is 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.640 one of these great stories where it's not about it's 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:05.040 not about intersectionality. This isn't about you know, one group, 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:09.880 one gender, one race, one anything, you know, being exploited 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.280 or being oppressive of another group. This is just about 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.720 those with it, those with a lot of money, those 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.840 with power versus everybody else. They want to continue to 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:25.320 be able to extract from you with impunity. But as 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.320 we saw in the bailout in two thousand and eight. 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:34.320 Their losses, you pick up. Their losses are your problem. 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.400 This has become the philosophy of the elites and the 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.600 governing apparatus in this country, whether it's Wall Street, the 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:45.600 Democrat Party, yes, even the Republican Party or anything else. 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.400 And it's one area where we can all come together 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:55.200 and say enough is enough. It's time we turn the tables. 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.640 Stop letting the house always win even when the House 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:04.600 should be losing. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:10.560 Follow fuck on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Joe Scarborough has 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.880 become a full on lunatic over at MSNBC. It's not 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.320 even performative anymore. I think the man is having some 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:20.080 kind of an emotional and psychological crisis on national TV. 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.880 But here he is telling all of you. If you're 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.000 wondering whether it's an exaggeration to say that there's a 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.200 vindictiveness and a score settling at the heart of the 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:33.160 Democrat mentality. Right now, Joe Scarborough puts any of those 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.320 doubts to rest because he's telling you, oh, no, they 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:39.640 are coming after you. That's the whole point of this play. 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.760 Seventeen What if Ted Chris's turned the test set after 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.160 nine to eleven. Let's you know what, let's just pretend 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.800 it's going to go away. Let's just forget about it. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:51.600 You know, nine to eleven. Where would Ron Johnson say, 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.720 let's just forget about it. Yeah, they attacked the Pentagon, 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.080 Yeah they attack Let's just forget about it. That's what 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.880 Linzy wants us to He wants us to forget it 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.360 about the fact that people were bludgeoned in the head 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.760 with an American flag because of Donald Trump. He wants 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:12.000 us to forget that a cop was beaten to death 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.920 and the reason why the cop killer beat the cop 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.680 to death was because they were inspired by Donald Trump 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:24.480 to do so. Ted Cruise wants us to forget because 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:32.240 he led this edition along with Josh Holly and Ted Cruise. Forget, forget. 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:37.000 You're out of your mind and you're not a conservative. 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:43.120 That's how conservatives do not talk. We don't forget. If 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:48.600 you attack our country, we go after you, we jell you, 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:54.480 we throw away the key. What a meniac. You needed 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.600 to hear that just to see this guy's on MSNBC. 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.560 They're paying a millions of dollars a year to be 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:04.040 a moral on and he's comparing. Look, the Capitol Hill 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.560 riot was a riot. A riot is not a mass 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:12.840 casualty terrorist attack that killed three thousand Americans in one day. Okay, 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.080 can we stop with the idiotcy But no, we can't. 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.439 The same way that they'll call detention facilities at our 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:22.119 southern border concentration camps, which they did under the Trump administration, 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.720 as you recall, they will continue to say that this 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:30.320 Capitol Hill riot was our nine eleven of domestic terrorists 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.600 or something. Now, you can try to ignore the rhetoric, 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.439 but that's really not in our interest right now because 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:41.120 ultimately what they're hoping to do with this is mobilize 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.639 it so they can actually come after us. This is 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:48.160 not just rhetorical. Now, Friends, you're listening to the Buck 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.560 Sexton Show podcast, make sure you subscribe to the podcast 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.960 on the iHeart Radio act or wherever you get your podcasts. 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:57.199 So long as Donald Trump is the head of the 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:00.800 Republican Party, they are going to find themselves in the minority. 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:02.840 They are going to lose races for the House and 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:06.920 the Senate, especially after the insurrection attempt. But it's also 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.560 important to note that the threat to the country is 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.800 not over right. We still have five thousand National Guard 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:16.720 members surrounding the Capital complex. Why because there are still 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:20.840 existing threats present threats to the security of the capital. 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.720 And so so long as Donald Trump is empowered by 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.520 Senate Republicans, there is still the chance that he is 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:31.680 going to incite another attempt at the Capitol or stirrup 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:35.439 similar trouble at the state legislative level or in a 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.480 governor's election when things don't go his way. The threat 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:42.320 is still very real to American democracy. It absolutely is not. 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.399 This man is a joke and a liar. But the 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:49.679 Democrats are doing this on purpose. This is creation of 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:56.480 a perpetual emergency situation based solely on the preparations for 0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:01.280 an imaginary threat. There is no threat of a white 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:05.920 supremacist insurrection takeover of the United States government in DC. 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:12.240 It does not exist. But they're keeping thousands of troops 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:16.360 there saying that, oh my gosh, we need these thousands 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.360 of troops there because of this imaginary threat. And now 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.600 it's turned into see, see what a threat we're under 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:26.679 look at all those troops, Well, they're the reason the 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:31.680 troops are there, but they're justifying the perception of a threat, right, See, 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.600 this is a chicken and egg situation. What's really happening here? 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:37.920 They're just going to continue this. Oh, look at how 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:41.320 bad the security situation is because of Trump supporters. We 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.520 have to have thousands of troops on the streets of DC. 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:48.040 It's horrible, it's awful. No, they don't have to have 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:51.280 they don't have to have any troops. They're lunatics. But 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:55.640 they're also doing this for a purpose. They gain from this. 0:19:56.520 --> 0:20:01.119 There are benefits that they get from this, namely that 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:07.680 they are mobilizing the government apparatus to go against Trump supporters, 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:12.600 disfavored individuals, people that are on the wrong side of 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.840 the elite establishment right now. And that brings me to 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:20.639 the perhaps the most jaw dropping example of this, and 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:24.640 there are plenty of them. You could point to Douglas Mackie. 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:29.040 He is apparently I'd never heard of this guy before 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:35.600 yesterday they say he's a notorious Twitter troll and he 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:44.840 was arrested yesterday on federal charges of election interference stemming 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.919 from allegations over a voter disinformation campaign during the twenty 0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:53.080 sixteen election. Okay, The charge says that he conspired with 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:59.440 others to disseminate misinformation to deprive individuals other constitutional right 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:04.840 to vote. According to the newly unsealed criminal complaint, the 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:08.440 charges are potentially a this is from NBC News a 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:12.720 tectonic shift and how the federal government tries to enforce 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:17.119 laws against election interference. False claims about the election on 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:22.000 the Internet and social media have been a major platform, 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:24.440 but there are a few examples of such social media 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:27.120 posts having been used as the basis for criminal charges. 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:31.840 Did you realize what they're doing here? They're they're threatening 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.600 to send and a're not just threatening, they're trying to 0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:39.440 send somebody to federal prison for up to ten years 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:46.719 for posting election memes that are considered disinformation. Right, this 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:50.479 guy put up memes apparently telling people, Hey, you know, 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:57.520 vote by text message at this number. Okay, that's this 0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:01.400 is now a federal criminal offense. Yeah, clearly you can't 0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:06.600 vote by text message. But is now is just lying 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:09.640 in general? Now, I mean it used to be had 0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:12.440 to lie under oath, or you had to lie in 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:17.280 a kind of transaction. So if you say something that 0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:20.640 is untrue about the election, and of course you're a Republican, 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.879 this guy's not a Democrat. They're gonna come after you, 0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:25.960 and they're gonna consider locking you up. I mean he 0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:31.119 was posting memes. He wasn't he wasn't defraud he wasn't 0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:34.080 defrauding old people of their life savings. He wasn't, you know, 0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:38.960 posting child pornography. He was posting memes about an election. 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:49.360 And they're going to send into federal prison for ten years. Really, yes, really, Now, 0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:52.400 I've often said to you, and it's important to remember 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:55.119 that they don't have to burn down all the villages. 0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:57.760 They only have to burn down one, all right. They 0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:00.439 don't have to make an example of everyone. They just 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:04.200 have to find a person, pick that person, and then 0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:08.280 that becomes the message for everybody else once they've destroyed 0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:10.800 his life. And that's what they're doing to this guy. 0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:16.119 He's apparently a Douglas Mackie as a journalist. I believe 0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:20.960 in some capacity. You know, they say that he tricked 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:26.680 forty nine hundred Democrats in vote by phone scheme. Look, 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:32.760 he lied about people being able to vote a certain way. 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:35.600 But I just want to know where does this election 0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:40.000 and interference claim end? Then? Could you be criminally charged 0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:44.639 for saying that the Hunter Biden laptop was real, and 0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:48.640 that people shouldn't don't vote for Joe Biden. The Hunter 0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:51.760 Biden laptop is real because we know social media companies 0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:54.119 were saying that that was hacked or stolen information. It 0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:59.040 wasn't true. Is that election interference? Is that disinformation? The 0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:04.199 attack on free speech right now in this country is 0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:08.320 unlike anything else we have ever seen in our lives. 0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:14.639 And yet they are going after people in ways that 0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:18.040 are just out in the open. They're not even really 0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:22.320 trying to not even really trying to hide it at all. No, 0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:24.960 they're they're telling you this. They want you to know. 0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:27.520 Do you think it's an accident. This was the twenty 0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:33.600 sixteen election, so it was four years ago. Four years ago, 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:37.160 and now they're bringing these federal charges. Now they're telling 0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:42.080 us about this. What the heck is going on? Well, 0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:46.200 what have I been telling you for years? Republicans get 0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:49.480 into power, Republicans run the DOJ and we say we're 0:24:49.480 --> 0:24:52.400
