WEBVTT - Criminalizing Political Speech

0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the freedom hunt. How the left seeks

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:19.119
<v Speaker 1>to criminalize political speech. Facebook was used to plan the

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Capitol Hill riot, Amazon shutdown parlor because of Trump not violence,

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and the militarized inauguration. Plus Jake Tapper questions, a veteran

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>amputeam member of Congress's patriotism. This is the Buck sex

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>And Show, where the mission or mission is to decode

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:43.199
<v Speaker 1>what really matters with assionable intelligence. Make no mistake a

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>great American. Again, the Buck Sexon show begins, He's a

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>great guy. No, it was never really about stopping violence

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 1>from the big tech companies and from the left and

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats. We know that because they didn't want to

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 1>shut down violence for months when their side was doing it.

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>We know that political violence was something the left was

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>willing to embrace. It was about justice, they said, That's

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:19.320
<v Speaker 1>what they told us. And now when there is an

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>outburst of reprehensible political violence that comes ideologically from the

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>right in this Capitol Hill riot, they try to leverage

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>this for maximum political gain. The best way to get

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.479
<v Speaker 1>all of this to stop, the best way to bring

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>us together would be, of course, to be fair minded

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:41.119
<v Speaker 1>about this, to be honest, and not to immediately seek

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 1>to use this to bash the other side as though

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>they're all domestic terrorists, and that's what they're doing. That

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>is what you see happening right now. The precedent that

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 1>was set with yesterday's impeachment is awful because it all

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>rested on a false premise. If they had teach the

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>President of the United States for misleading the American people

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>about what he could prove in the election, if they

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>were going to say that it was just unpresidential to

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>do that, that's their opinion, and they would be on

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 1>much firmer ground. Although would that rise to a high

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>crime and misdemeanor. No, But instead what they did was

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>say it is a direct incitement to insurrection that President

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Trump is guilty of. It's his fault, you see, he

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>called for this, and then they use that to ram

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>through an impeachment that really ignored due process, which is

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:46.359
<v Speaker 1>supposed to exist even in Congress, ignored historical precedent, and

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>was all about one thing, and one thing only, creating

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a one party state in America, the destruction of the

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Republican Party. It's always very amusing when Democrats say that

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 1>they want to see Republicans speak truth to their own

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 1>side and reform form when they really just want the collapse.

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.959
<v Speaker 1>And they understand that if the Republican elites and elected

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 1>officials cave in to the Democrat mob on this one

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.679
<v Speaker 1>and cast out Trump entirely, try to erase his legacy

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and humiliate not just him but also his supporters, it

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>will be a disaster for the Republican Party. This was

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>all based on a lie. How do we know it's

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.359
<v Speaker 1>a lie that Trump incited an insurrection. It's obviously true.

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>There was a riot. It's obviously true. It was criminal

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>and wrong what happened in the Capitol Building. We've already

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>said that. I'm not going to just keep repeating it

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>endlessly so that the left wing, you know, destructors of

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>conservative media, can't just get away with whatever they want.

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Right that's we're trying to prevent them from because right

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>now they're on a witch on they want to ruin

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>people on our side. But I have condemned it. I

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>condemned it right away, and it was you know that, okay,

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>But they're claiming that Trump was the reason for this. Now,

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>part of the problem they have is what Trump actually said.

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's be very clear. Play clip three and only count

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated. I

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>know that everyone here will soon be marching over to

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the Capitol Building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Today we will see whether Republicans stand strong for integrity

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>of our elections, but whether or not they stand strong

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>for a country peacefully and patriotically have your voices heard.

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:50.039
<v Speaker 1>If that can be considered an incitement to violence, to

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>mob violence for which you will be held legally responsible,

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 1>which is what the Democrats are doing here. That's what

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>they're saying. They will use a process of government to

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>go after you, and they're even talking about possible criminal

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>charges against Trump for this. If go peacefully speak your

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.720
<v Speaker 1>mind is now a criminal act. Political speech in this

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>country is over on the conservative side. We're done because

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>they'll just say anything that they don't like. Anytime there's

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>a rhetorical flourish, we say we must stand up and

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>fight for our liberties. Oh, that's a call to violence,

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.360
<v Speaker 1>he said, fight. Oh you think that's extreme, You think

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>they won't do it. We saw this coming. You should

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 1>remember that for years the left was running a propaganda campaign.

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 1>It started on the college campuses, then it filtered into

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the most woke outposts in society, and

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>now it's mainstream. Now it's corporate culture. Now it's all

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>over the place. Speech equals violence. That was the big

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>change you saw the beginning of the Trump administration from

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the left. They were just openly saying that your words

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that I don't like are the equivalent of violence because

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.280
<v Speaker 1>it makes me feel sad or unsafe, or less than

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. Therefore, not only if speech equals violence, can

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>the government shut it down? And as we know, the

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>only speech that equals violence is conservative. According to the left,

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.559
<v Speaker 1>that's the way this game works. Not only does that happen,

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 1>but if they use force to shut you down, they're

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.920
<v Speaker 1>justified in doing so. This is how anti fuck came about.

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Remember the origins, they were showing up at college campuses,

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 1>threatening conservative speakers, threatening people that showed up to hear

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>conservative speakers, and many of us said, this is a

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 1>terrible harbinger of things to come. And now we see

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>this is all the way at the top of the

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Democrat party. Say things that they don't like, and they

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:52.840
<v Speaker 1>will find a way to use the force of government

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.479
<v Speaker 1>even to shut you down. This is the death of

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 1>free speech if this continues. And that's exactly the plan.

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Democrats think they have all the answers and there's no

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.479
<v Speaker 1>need for robust debate or exchange of ideas because their

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>ideas are right and your ideas are violence. This is

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 1>what they really think. This is their actual belief, and

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>they are using this. They're taking action on this idea.

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>And now with greater information about what really happened on

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Capitol Hills, we see more of the backstory, both in

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>preparation for it and the social media giants actions around it.

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 1>A lot of stuff that does not support the overall

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Democrat narrative. Here. What they impeach the president for yesterday

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.239
<v Speaker 1>was essentially Trump called for an insurrection in the Capitol.

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>That is a lie. That's not true. He didn't do that,

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>And there are many reasons you could point to. I

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>played the actual pertinent audio of what he said, should

0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>happen peacefully. If someone says I call for non violence,

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>and then one of that person's adherents says, oh, they

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 1>said non violence, but I'm going to be violent. Is

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>it that person's fault? Well, only if you're a Republican,

0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>only if you're a conservative. This was planned for weeks

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 1>in advance. That's now clear. There were people who were

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 1>gathering together online and this was what they wanted to do.

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 1>So if that's the case, and it is, how can

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump be guilty of incitement when there are preparations

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:34.439
<v Speaker 1>being made by people entirely independent of Trump and that

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 1>that predated the speech in which he called for non

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>violence anyway, Right, this is not to excuse all the

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 1>stuff said about the election at all. I've got a

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 1>problem with that. I think we were it was exaggerated

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.719
<v Speaker 1>to us, the information that they were going to be

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>able to present. It was exaggerated. The likelihood. Now I

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 1>always thought it was a very small likelihood, as you know,

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 1>but it was adgerated on purpose to Trump voters that

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 1>there was still a real hope here that the election

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 1>was going to go his way. And that's that's actual.

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.320
<v Speaker 1>There should be some political accountability for that. That was wrong.

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 1>But this incitement of violence stuff and attacking the capital

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 1>because of Trump, that's just not fair. It's not true.

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 1>But it's not enough, you see, it's not enough to

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>point out what was said about the election afterwards that's

0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>in retrospect, that was inaccurate, or it was just an

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.679
<v Speaker 1>out and outlie because Democrats lied about the twenty sixteen

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:40.959
<v Speaker 1>election for four years. So we'll be able to dismiss

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>that very very quickly. A lot of people just say, well,

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, Nancy Pelosi claimed the election was hijacked in

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of twenty seventeen, So what what's that all about.

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Ah No, they have to make it seem as though

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump is the leader of a domestic terrorist organization. That's

0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 1>what they're openly stating now. And that's because it gives

0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:08.680
<v Speaker 1>them license not only to completely malign all of his supporters,

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>which they just get joy from. I mean they like.

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Hating Trump supporters is something that gives great joy to

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:22.040
<v Speaker 1>the left, to know, deriding them, humiliating them. This Unfortunately

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>for America, the Democrat Party really really has a culture

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of looking down on all Trump supporters. That's just the

0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 1>way it is. Voters. I mean, anybody, anybody you vote

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.599
<v Speaker 1>for Trump, You're a bad person. They've they've adopted it.

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't think everybody votes for Biden's a bad person.

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.560
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy. I think Joe Biden's a clown. And I

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 1>think we're going to see just what a joke this

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.559
<v Speaker 1>whole presidency is when he's actually in charge. But then

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Kamala will take over him. We all know. But here's

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the other issue they've got. The social media companies all

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>acted against Trump because they said he was the cause

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 1>of this insurrection. Well, first of all, it was a riot.

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 1>To call it an insurrection is also is also going

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 1>beyond a fair a fair view of the facts here.

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>It was absolutely a right and it was criminal. It

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.959
<v Speaker 1>was wrong, and we've said that. But they really thought

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 1>what they were going to overtake the Capitol building and

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>hold it. I mean, that's what a coup would be.

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 1>That was the plan. I mean, I haven't seen any

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 1>evidence to suggest that. I've certainly seen there are people

0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.720
<v Speaker 1>that were running around taking selfies, and there were people

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.960
<v Speaker 1>that were attacking police officers, which is something that you

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>can't do. It's a crime, you can't do that. But

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 1>the social media companies shut Trump down because they said

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 1>that he was a threat of violence. The Democrats then

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 1>used this premise that Trump was himself a threat of

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:57.360
<v Speaker 1>violence to d platform him. Well, Trump is still in office,

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and the same platforms where most of the planning for

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 1>the riot occurred are very much still in business. Because

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 1>guess what, this won't be a surprise to you. It

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 1>wasn't parlor where most of the actual riot planning occurred.

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 1>According to left wing analysts of this now in the media. Oh,

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>it was happening somewhere else on the internet, a very wealthy,

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:29.840
<v Speaker 1>very very powerful company. In fact, you're in the freedom

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 1>of This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. As

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I have said, the incursion of the US capital struck

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 1>at the very heart of our republic. It angered and

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>appalled millions of Americans across the political spectrum. I want

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 1>to be very clear, I unequivocally condemned the violence that

0:12:55.760 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>we saw last week. Violence and vandalism have absolutely no

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 1>place in our country and no place in our movement.

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Making America great again has always been about defending the

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 1>rule of law, supporting the men and women of law enforcement,

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and upholding our nation's most sacred traditions and values. Mob

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:21.839
<v Speaker 1>violence goes against everything I believe in and everything our

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 1>movement stands for. There's President Trump saying that he condemns

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.959
<v Speaker 1>all of the illegal activity the riot at the Capitol,

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.199
<v Speaker 1>all of it, and that it goes outside of, or

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 1>goes against and is outside of his movement. Entirely. Maybe

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.200
<v Speaker 1>the people that were saying that I was a traitor

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>to Trump because I said right away the Capitol Hill

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>riot was a disaster and not what Mago was about.

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I haven't gotten any apologies from them yet,

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 1>not that I matter, It doesn't matter. But I'm just saying,

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:56.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, we all have to be clear eyed about this.

0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.959
<v Speaker 1>We have to know what is true. And people out

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 1>there who were telling you the day of oh, this

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>is not something that's terrible, they were pandering and they

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.440
<v Speaker 1>were lying, and they have bad judgment. I mean talking

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.480
<v Speaker 1>to people in the media, because there were some of them,

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.280
<v Speaker 1>there were some a handful, and then I think even

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 1>they backed off. But that's the President saying that this

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.200
<v Speaker 1>is not something that he would ever condone. He does

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 1>not want political violence. It's against what he stands for.

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>He gave an excellent speech, had to release it on

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 1>the White House Official White House Official Twitter page instead

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 1>of the real Donald Trump one because it no longer exists.

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>And now why is that Donald Trump was kicked off

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 1>of Twitter? What's the reasoning given by Jack Dorsey, the CEO.

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Why they do this because they said that he was

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:52.200
<v Speaker 1>a risk of violence but the Iranian revolutionary regime is

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 1>still able to have public pronouncements. There's all kinds of

0:14:56.280 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 1>awful people on Twitter that call for violence and genocide

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 1>and terrible things. They don't lose their accounts, so we

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 1>know the standard is applied entirely unevenly. A standard is

0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>used to silence conservatives and to silence Trump most of all.

0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 1>But there's something else. You know. They shut down Parlor,

0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>and we had Dan Bongino want to talk about that.

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 1>They shut down Parlor because they claimed that that's where

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 1>the Capitol Hill riot was being planned and there was

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.720
<v Speaker 1>all this ugly stuff on there. Well, that's a lie

0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:35.400
<v Speaker 1>insofar as there's no more on Parlor than there is

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 1>on Facebook. In fact, most of the violence and awful

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 1>stuff that was being shared online about the Capitol Hill

0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 1>riot was wait for it, on Facebook. They've been analyzing

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 1>this looking at it. Facebook was because it has a

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 1>much larger user base. I said this as soon as

0:15:54.920 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 1>this happened. Is there's crazy stuff on Facebook all the time. Ah.

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 1>But Amazon Web Services Amazon crushed Parlor And did you

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 1>know that Parlor was actually working with Amazon and trying

0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 1>to take action to improve its moderation they're saying, yes,

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 1>we want to get rid of bad content. We want

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to get rid of violent and you know, evil racist

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 1>stuff on Parlor, the same way that there's that terrible

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>stuff on all the social media platforms. But Parlor doesn't

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.640
<v Speaker 1>have quite the resources. So they were getting behind it,

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 1>they were working to be better on it. They have

0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>terms of service and they have a rule of law standard.

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 1>But they crushed Parlor. It didn't crush Twitter. It didn't

0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:51.040
<v Speaker 1>shut down Facebook obviously. Now let's let's look at this

0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:56.360
<v Speaker 1>for a second. Here is what is the new standard

0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 1>that has been set up. It is now established that

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Facebook book was the place that allowed the Capitol Hill

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 1>riot to be planned more so than any other. Well,

0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.919
<v Speaker 1>given what we've been told in recent days, that means

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:16.640
<v Speaker 1>that Amazon and Google and you name it need to ambush,

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 1>take down and destroy Facebook. It's a question of life

0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and death. It's a question of our democracy and preventing

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:30.119
<v Speaker 1>political violence. Awful things were planned on Facebook. So I

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:36.400
<v Speaker 1>guess those really moral and ethical major tech companies are

0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:40.959
<v Speaker 1>all going to unite to take down and destroy Facebook.

0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>That could happen. Amazon and Google could do a tremendous

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:50.080
<v Speaker 1>amount of damage to Facebook if they wanted to, but

0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>they won't. Oh, you mean the standard isn't really a standard.

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:59.000
<v Speaker 1>It's an excuse they wanted to shut down Parlor. They

0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:03.400
<v Speaker 1>wanted to destroy it. Why is that? Well, in Parlor's

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 1>lawsuit they show that that one of the questions that

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Amazon was asking them when they were trying to prevent,

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, trying to stop them from shutting them down,

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:19.400
<v Speaker 1>was is Donald Trump moving to Parlor? That's what they

0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.199
<v Speaker 1>really wanted to know. Well, here's the problem with that.

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.240
<v Speaker 1>If you have a bunch of companies that work together

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that Donald Trump doesn't move to Parlor,

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.800
<v Speaker 1>which would then make Parlor go up in growth by

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.760
<v Speaker 1>exponential numbers in just a matter of days. That looks

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:44.200
<v Speaker 1>like good old fashioned anti competitive collusion, doesn't it. There

0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:49.000
<v Speaker 1>are laws about things like this. Anti competitive practices aren't allowed.

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.199
<v Speaker 1>You're not allowed to price fix and you're not allowed

0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:57.640
<v Speaker 1>to person fix either. When it comes to social media platforms,

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.639
<v Speaker 1>this lawsuit could get a whole lot more interesting. Thanks

0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.960
<v Speaker 1>for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.840
<v Speaker 1>subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 1>get your podcasts. Now what you hear is, well, you

0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 1>can't say that everybody who voted for Trump is like

0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:19.880
<v Speaker 1>the people who went into the Capitol. Response, you can't

0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:23.320
<v Speaker 1>say that what everybody's like, everybody who Trumps like them. Now,

0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I just explain to you if you if if you

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 1>are on that side, you need to think about the

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 1>sides are on. I'm never on the side of the clan.

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I am net principal people conservative or liberal. Never on

0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 1>the clan side. Principal people conservative or liberal, Never on

0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:42.640
<v Speaker 1>the Nazi side. Principal people who are conservative or liberal.

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Never on the side that treats their their fellow Americans

0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:49.800
<v Speaker 1>as less than that says that your fellow Americans should

0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:54.119
<v Speaker 1>not exist, that said, that says your fellow Americans should

0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.440
<v Speaker 1>be in a concentration camp, or that sides with slavery,

0:19:57.720 --> 0:19:59.879
<v Speaker 1>or sides with any sort of bigots. Right. And if

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:01.879
<v Speaker 1>I say I don't agree with those people, I just

0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:03.639
<v Speaker 1>like Trump's policy, well then get out of the crowd

0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 1>with him. Get out of the crowd. I wasn't in

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 1>the crowd. I just voted for Trump. You're in the

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.639
<v Speaker 1>crowd who voted for Trump. If you voted for Trump,

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:14.439
<v Speaker 1>you voted for the person who the clan supported. You

0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:18.919
<v Speaker 1>voted for the person who not sees support. You voted

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 1>for the person who the alt right supports. That's the

0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 1>crowd that you are in. You need to hear this

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:30.640
<v Speaker 1>because I know a lot of you will dismiss that's

0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Don Lemon at CNN. He is very dumb, as are

0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.760
<v Speaker 1>many anchors at CNN. He is very dumb. Who cares

0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 1>what he says? He is vocalizing. The reason he's doing

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:47.640
<v Speaker 1>this is because it appeals to his audience, and he

0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 1>is vocalizing, meaning the CNN CNN viewership, what they feel

0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:57.879
<v Speaker 1>back to them, because that drives ratings. His audience thinks

0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 1>exactly what he's saying. You should know that they believe

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:06.159
<v Speaker 1>that if you voted for Trump, you are guilty in

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the way that he's suggesting. You are guilty of being

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:12.439
<v Speaker 1>the supporter of a white supremacist. You're guilty being a

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.200
<v Speaker 1>supporter of a I mean, I didn't even say Nazi.

0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Now I know that for a lot of you. That

0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:22.200
<v Speaker 1>was also a particularly painful recitation of allegations from Don

0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Lemon because those things he's talking about, putting people in camps, slavery,

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the ku klux Klan, those are all things for which

0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 1>we have the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party must be

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:42.639
<v Speaker 1>held responsible. The Democrats were the pro slavery party. The

0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:45.159
<v Speaker 1>Democrats were the Jim Crow Party. The Democrats were the

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:49.840
<v Speaker 1>segregation party. The Democrats were the Interment of Japanese Americans party.

0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 1>That's just fact, that's just true. But notice that now

0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 1>they put her all on Republicans. Do you think that

0:21:57.119 --> 0:22:01.160
<v Speaker 1>they care one bit that Donald Trump managed to get

0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:05.240
<v Speaker 1>more of the black and Latino vote than any previous

0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:09.920
<v Speaker 1>GOP candidate in twenty years for the presidency. Does that matter? No,

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:12.520
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't matter. Do they take any indicator of that

0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:14.919
<v Speaker 1>that there are a lot of people who are black

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and Latino who see Donald Trump and understand that, now,

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:23.440
<v Speaker 1>this guy's actually not a racist. He's imperfect, he's rough

0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 1>around the edges. Not a racist, though, But they need

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:30.960
<v Speaker 1>to have Donald Trump viewed as somebody who you're not

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:34.040
<v Speaker 1>allowed to support. It's not even that you have bad

0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 1>judgment for doing it. If you do it, you are

0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 1>transgressing and should be punished. I've been telling you this

0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:46.040
<v Speaker 1>all week. It's about humiliating Trump voters. It's about forcing

0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:49.440
<v Speaker 1>you into a society where you're basically in a constant

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 1>re education camp online, in the office, for your job,

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 1>online at the grocery store. If you voted for Trump,

0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:00.560
<v Speaker 1>you're a bad person and you have you have something

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to atone for. That's what they want you to feel.

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:09.120
<v Speaker 1>That's what they want you to think, and it's just wrong.

0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:13.240
<v Speaker 1>It's just wrong on so many levels, right, I mean,

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 1>so there are many people that vote for Trump and

0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like he's very flawed and has made some bad

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:24.080
<v Speaker 1>some plenty of bad decisions. But overall they first of all,

0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 1>like the Republican Party. With the Democrat Party, I mean,

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:28.280
<v Speaker 1>we could sit here, we're really going to talk about this.

0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Democrats are are the party of the celebration

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:35.840
<v Speaker 1>of abortion, for example, which is which is just mora

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:38.440
<v Speaker 1>le heinous. I mean, they can sit around and try

0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:41.160
<v Speaker 1>to come up with all kinds of rationalizations and justifications

0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and slogans and my body, my choice and all this stuff.

0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Not on vaccines, by the way, my body, my choice

0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:49.760
<v Speaker 1>doesn't apply to that for Democrats. But at the end

0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:51.359
<v Speaker 1>of the day, we realize what abortion is, and the

0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Democrat Party has embraced this, and I do believe that

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:57.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a moral rot at the center of their conscience

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:01.240
<v Speaker 1>that affects everything else that they do and see, and

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:05.439
<v Speaker 1>their their view of the world around them starts with

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 1>they have convinced themselves that convenience is more important than

0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:14.359
<v Speaker 1>human life. That's that's a very corrosive moral proposition. But

0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:15.920
<v Speaker 1>if we're really going to do this, we're going to

0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:19.080
<v Speaker 1>hold people accountable. Start to look at what democrats have

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 1>done and what they really believe. I mean that the

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:28.920
<v Speaker 1>expansion of the term white supremacy. That's that's been underway

0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:31.040
<v Speaker 1>now for years. I've been warning about this. I told

0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:34.879
<v Speaker 1>you this is now just a This is a a

0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:39.080
<v Speaker 1>more weaponized version of the old everything is racist routine

0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 1>that Democrats used to do anything that they didn't like,

0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:45.080
<v Speaker 1>all that's racist, that's racist. All through the nineties and

0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the early two thousands, that's what they would say. You know,

0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you would oppose democrats. Ah, it's because you're a white guy,

0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 1>you're racist. Wait what, I just want less government interference

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:58.159
<v Speaker 1>in my life and lower taxes. That makes me? That

0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:02.879
<v Speaker 1>makes me racist? Ah, that's racist. Now it's your white supremacist.

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Because that lost, that accusation of baseless racism lost its sting,

0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:11.560
<v Speaker 1>It lost its impact over time. So what they what

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:14.640
<v Speaker 1>they have now is your white supremacist. That's what they say.

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:17.240
<v Speaker 1>And if you think that's any kind of exaggeration. This

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:22.720
<v Speaker 1>was yesterday during the another a second sham impeachment process

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:28.960
<v Speaker 1>against the president. Here's a representative Corey Corey Bush, referring

0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 1>to well, you'll hear what he says about Trump, play too.

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Saint Louis and I rise in support of the article

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:38.199
<v Speaker 1>of impeachment against Donald J. Trump. If we fail to

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:42.840
<v Speaker 1>remove a white supremacist president who incited a white supremacist insurrection,

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 1>it's communities like Missouri's first District that suffered the most.

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>The one hundred and seventeenth Congress must understand that we

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:52.679
<v Speaker 1>have a mandate to legislate in defensive black lives. The

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 1>first step in that process is to root out white supremacy.

0:25:56.160 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Is starting with impeaching the white supremacist in chief. This

0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:06.240
<v Speaker 1>is what she said, starting with the white supremacist in chief.

0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump's a New York guy, grew up in Queens

0:26:10.920 --> 0:26:14.920
<v Speaker 1>in Manhattan. Nobody thought he was racist until he ran

0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:19.640
<v Speaker 1>for president, and now he's a white supremacist. Okay, that's

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:22.200
<v Speaker 1>that's because they're really taking a fair view of any

0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 1>of this CNN's Andy McCabe. Oh, you mean, if you

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 1>were part of the resistance and you abused your power.

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Andy McCabe seemed really seems like a sociopath. And this

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:35.359
<v Speaker 1>is a guy who's a Democrat activist who was the

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 1>acting FBI director and would do anything to protect the

0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Democrat establishment, the deep state in the swamp, and was

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:48.520
<v Speaker 1>sanctimonious about it too, and really believes the MSNBC talking points.

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:52.159
<v Speaker 1>He's now a purveyor of CNN talking points, which is

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. Oh, it's all about It's all about

0:26:56.240 --> 0:27:01.320
<v Speaker 1>coded language. The coded language allegation here, this is one

0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:04.879
<v Speaker 1>you've been hearing for quite some time. Play eight. President

0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Trump is a master at coded language and the use

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:11.639
<v Speaker 1>of dog whistles. And there is no question that that

0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 1>statement included some of those same references. Simply by leaving

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:18.720
<v Speaker 1>out the comments that you've mentioned, he sends a signal

0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:22.720
<v Speaker 1>to his folks to fight on. He has never come

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 1>out and formally undercut the central theory of this of

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:30.520
<v Speaker 1>this domestic terrorist rebellion, which is that the lie that

0:27:30.640 --> 0:27:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the election was stolen from them, and his failure to

0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 1>do it last night is absolutely unforgivable. I dismissed that

0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:41.200
<v Speaker 1>statement as as a self serving attempt at damage control.

0:27:42.119 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 1>So Annie McCabe is a despicable person. We know that.

0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:52.119
<v Speaker 1>And this is a guy that that yells at subordinates

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:55.040
<v Speaker 1>for leaks that he himself gave to newspapers when he's

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:57.360
<v Speaker 1>at the FBI. I mean, what a what a scummy

0:27:57.440 --> 0:27:59.680
<v Speaker 1>thing to do. And this is a guy who was

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:02.159
<v Speaker 1>part of the at the very top of the Russia

0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:05.159
<v Speaker 1>collusion smear against the president, which was more than just

0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:08.080
<v Speaker 1>a mean thing to say in the press. They they

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:14.639
<v Speaker 1>mobilized the criminal, the criminal investigatory and prosecutorial arms of

0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the federal government to go after a president because he

0:28:18.000 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>says mean things about the New York Times and CNN.

0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:24.200
<v Speaker 1>That's what Annie McCabe was at the top of that effort.

0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 1>No accountability really for him. I know he was fired,

0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:29.520
<v Speaker 1>but the guys should have been the should have been

0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 1>fired and investigated for criminal abuse of power. And you know,

0:28:35.680 --> 0:28:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a big lock him up guy. I'm not

0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:39.760
<v Speaker 1>all this person you're going to president, you know, because

0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I think we have to be very careful with that.

0:28:41.240 --> 0:28:44.840
<v Speaker 1>But Annie McCay, what he did was real abuse, real

0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:49.240
<v Speaker 1>misuse of position. But coded language. You see, even when

0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Trump says don't be violent, it doesn't matter because when

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Trump says don't be violent and be peaceful, what he's

0:28:57.320 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 1>really saying, according to the left and the Libs, is yeah,

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:05.080
<v Speaker 1>be terrorists mounted insurrection. So it doesn't matter what he says,

0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:08.880
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna stay with this. Oh and you're not allowed

0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to believe that the election had any problems whatsoever or else.

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 1>You're also if you think that there was still fraud

0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:19.760
<v Speaker 1>in this election, you Andy McKay wants people to know,

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:25.000
<v Speaker 1>are are encouraging an insurrection and domestic terrorists agree with

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:29.720
<v Speaker 1>us on politics, or you're a terrorist. That's the Democrat

0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 1>position right now. That's that's being given voice all across

0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the media, and it's it's being echoed all throughout the

0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party. And it's disgusting. Oh but they want they

0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:47.520
<v Speaker 1>want unity. Yeah, sure they do. You're in the Hut.

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:54.760
<v Speaker 1>This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast pushing this idea

0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:57.680
<v Speaker 1>that the attack on the Capitol last week bore any

0:29:57.720 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 1>resemblance to the Black Lives Matters pro tests over the summer.

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:05.800
<v Speaker 1>It's not just dumb, it's disgusting. Stop comparing protesters marching

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:09.640
<v Speaker 1>to protect their rights with anarchists storming an election to

0:30:09.720 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 1>strip us of ours. Stop it, you sound stupid, Okay?

0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:17.120
<v Speaker 1>So who are the people that were smashing and looting

0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:20.560
<v Speaker 1>stores and throwing rocks and Moltsof cocktails at cops? Because

0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:24.600
<v Speaker 1>because Jimmy Kimmel, late night comedian, seems so sure that

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:28.200
<v Speaker 1>it's a disgusting thing to talk about blm peaceful marchers.

0:30:28.400 --> 0:30:32.000
<v Speaker 1>So I just want to know who destroyed hundreds and

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of businesses across the country, looted them, burned some

0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:37.280
<v Speaker 1>to the ground. Who burned that police station to the

0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:40.160
<v Speaker 1>ground in Minnesota. Who threw a Moltsof cocktail into a

0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:43.480
<v Speaker 1>cop car here in New York City? Who shot to

0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:47.800
<v Speaker 1>La County Sheriff's deputies almost killed them, both, shot them

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the neck. Who did all that? Wasn't Trump supporters? Right?

0:30:52.520 --> 0:30:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Who were the people that caused millions and millions of

0:30:56.040 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 1>dollars of damage to public and private property because they

0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:05.160
<v Speaker 1>were unhappy about policing? I just want to know it

0:31:05.200 --> 0:31:09.880
<v Speaker 1>wasn't Trump voters. But see if you point out that

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 1>there was something nasty about any of that, If you

0:31:12.400 --> 0:31:15.480
<v Speaker 1>point out that there were people spitting in cops faces,

0:31:16.240 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 1>calling black police officers. This is on video, horrible racial slurs,

0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:26.480
<v Speaker 1>undermining them as human beings doing everything they can. If

0:31:26.480 --> 0:31:28.760
<v Speaker 1>you point any of that out, you're the problem. Jimmy

0:31:28.760 --> 0:31:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Gonna look, Jimmy Kimmel is a moron, but he's a

0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:35.680
<v Speaker 1>very rich comedian because the guy's played in the system

0:31:35.720 --> 0:31:37.440
<v Speaker 1>and done what he's had to do to get ahead.

0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:39.520
<v Speaker 1>But if you take your political advice from this guy,

0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:43.840
<v Speaker 1>you're just not very smart because he's not very smart. Rich, yes,

0:31:45.000 --> 0:31:51.280
<v Speaker 1>has a big audience. Unfortunately is known as a good person. No,

0:31:51.760 --> 0:31:56.200
<v Speaker 1>it's actually considered a really vicious soob inside the industry said,

0:31:56.200 --> 0:31:58.120
<v Speaker 1>how do you know that? Because I know people who

0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 1>know people who work in the entertainment industry. I am

0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:06.440
<v Speaker 1>far away from all that stuff. But he's not the

0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:09.640
<v Speaker 1>only one who's got the rhetoric dialed up to the

0:32:09.640 --> 0:32:15.360
<v Speaker 1>act absolute maximum. Here you have somebody who is at

0:32:15.400 --> 0:32:20.480
<v Speaker 1>least smarter than Jimmy Kimmel. Bro Cuomo over at CNN

0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:22.640
<v Speaker 1>talking about how that you know this is it looks

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:26.760
<v Speaker 1>like war zone stuff going on right now. Play sixteen.

0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 1>The Secret Service is now too concerned about violence that

0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:32.600
<v Speaker 1>President elect Biden will no longer be able to travel

0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 1>on Amtrak from his home in Wilmington, Delaware. Because of

0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:37.520
<v Speaker 1>the in the wake of what happened and all the

0:32:37.600 --> 0:32:40.920
<v Speaker 1>chatter about potential threats, security is being heightened at capitals

0:32:40.920 --> 0:32:44.200
<v Speaker 1>all across America, all fifty state capitals under thread of

0:32:44.280 --> 0:32:47.240
<v Speaker 1>armed protests in the run up to inauguration. No external

0:32:47.320 --> 0:32:50.880
<v Speaker 1>terrorists ever did this to us. We've never worried like this,

0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:53.000
<v Speaker 1>even after nine to eleven. I didn't read about it

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:54.880
<v Speaker 1>in a book. I lived it. I was there that morning,

0:32:54.880 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I was there for days, weeks. I lost people. I

0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 1>covered it. I went to train and then I wars abroad.

0:33:01.360 --> 0:33:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I've seen ugly things, but this country now resembles. But

0:33:04.560 --> 0:33:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen this country more in doubt about safety

0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 1>at home than right now. And the enemy is us now.

0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:14.959
<v Speaker 1>I just want to be clear that they are talking

0:33:15.000 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 1>about what happened at Capitol Hill. The enemy is us.

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:20.040
<v Speaker 1>He means Trump supporters, by the way, he doesn't mean

0:33:20.080 --> 0:33:23.080
<v Speaker 1>just the general American people. He means Trump supporters. They're

0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:27.240
<v Speaker 1>talking about Capitol Hill the way that they would speak

0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:30.480
<v Speaker 1>about it if men were you know, if men and

0:33:30.520 --> 0:33:34.280
<v Speaker 1>women you know, armed went into the building to take

0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:37.720
<v Speaker 1>it over. And we're firing at police officers. Now there

0:33:37.720 --> 0:33:40.200
<v Speaker 1>are people that storm the building, no question, it's horrible.

0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:42.800
<v Speaker 1>There are people that were pushing through and attack and

0:33:42.880 --> 0:33:47.960
<v Speaker 1>punching cops. But they didn't actually go in there armed

0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:51.880
<v Speaker 1>with rifles as part of a coup to take over

0:33:51.960 --> 0:33:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the building and hold it as that would be an insurrection.

0:33:56.720 --> 0:33:59.360
<v Speaker 1>And they're speaking about this like that is what happened

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:04.840
<v Speaker 1>is a riot. Let's let's remember it was people planning

0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:09.520
<v Speaker 1>what they what they thought was a violent political spectacle.

0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:13.480
<v Speaker 1>But within the limitations of not actually going force on

0:34:13.680 --> 0:34:18.439
<v Speaker 1>force against say, the National Guard, with guns blazing and

0:34:18.400 --> 0:34:20.359
<v Speaker 1>and all. That's what you see in countries where there's

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:23.960
<v Speaker 1>actually a coup. I mean, the people that stormed the

0:34:24.000 --> 0:34:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Capitol building didn't think that if the National Guard the

0:34:27.239 --> 0:34:29.160
<v Speaker 1>FBI were called in that they were going to be

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:32.880
<v Speaker 1>able to fight them off. Now I know these distinctions,

0:34:32.880 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 1>This honesty about what actually happened is very this is

0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:39.280
<v Speaker 1>very tense right now, you're not allowed to say these things.

0:34:40.120 --> 0:34:43.680
<v Speaker 1>But insurrection would be the overthrow of the United States government.

0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:47.000
<v Speaker 1>The people that ran into that building, were they really

0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:49.920
<v Speaker 1>going to overthrow? Some of them might be deeply mentally

0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:53.040
<v Speaker 1>ill and think that they could accomplish that, and I'm

0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:55.399
<v Speaker 1>sure we'll hear about them and their text messages about

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 1>how they're gonna, you know, they're gonna be putting a

0:34:58.719 --> 0:35:01.120
<v Speaker 1>new dictator in charge something, or that the Trump will

0:35:01.120 --> 0:35:04.600
<v Speaker 1>be president for fifty years or whatever. But overall, you

0:35:04.640 --> 0:35:08.239
<v Speaker 1>had people who made a very bad decision, and as

0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:11.640
<v Speaker 1>we see it has unfortunately played right into Democrat hands

0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:15.399
<v Speaker 1>about authoritarianism and a crackdown on Trump voters and all

0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:19.360
<v Speaker 1>of this. In that sense, it is a disaster. Maxie

0:35:19.400 --> 0:35:25.600
<v Speaker 1>and Waters, speaking of overheated rhetoric, Maxie and Waters has

0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:30.840
<v Speaker 1>said the following about Trump Play twelve. It is reported

0:35:31.080 --> 0:35:34.640
<v Speaker 1>that the President of the United States watch the invasion

0:35:35.040 --> 0:35:39.160
<v Speaker 1>from the Oval office of our capital and seemingly enjoyed it.

0:35:39.480 --> 0:35:42.359
<v Speaker 1>I want you to know we should be concerned that

0:35:42.400 --> 0:35:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the Republicans will not defend him, and he is capable

0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:50.840
<v Speaker 1>of studying a civil war. He must be impeached, He

0:35:50.960 --> 0:35:54.520
<v Speaker 1>must be stopped. Now. The president is not going to

0:35:54.560 --> 0:35:59.520
<v Speaker 1>start a civil war. This kind of talk is not helping.

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:02.520
<v Speaker 1>This is not this is not making everybody feel better

0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:05.760
<v Speaker 1>about the future of the country. This is not making

0:36:05.800 --> 0:36:09.719
<v Speaker 1>everything calm down and moved to the peaceful transition here

0:36:10.360 --> 0:36:14.520
<v Speaker 1>when you're talking about eighty to nine of Republicans all

0:36:14.760 --> 0:36:18.719
<v Speaker 1>completely condemning what happened at Capitol Hill, the riot, And

0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:21.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what the numbers are those are listening, it's eighty

0:36:21.080 --> 0:36:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to ninety percent of Republicans are saying what happened there

0:36:24.120 --> 0:36:29.600
<v Speaker 1>was was just was awful, that there is very very

0:36:29.600 --> 0:36:32.840
<v Speaker 1>clear condemnation of this. Now they still, I understand, the

0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:36.080
<v Speaker 1>left will still play this game of oh, BLM, there

0:36:36.080 --> 0:36:39.600
<v Speaker 1>were no riots. I mean, it is the the biggest

0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:42.920
<v Speaker 1>gas lighting I think we've ever seen in this country,

0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:45.840
<v Speaker 1>at least in my lifetime. There were no BLM riots.

0:36:46.080 --> 0:36:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Who was doing all the rioting, who was marching around

0:36:49.560 --> 0:36:52.879
<v Speaker 1>in the streets at night, breaking windows, stealing from Lena

0:36:52.920 --> 0:36:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Louis Vuitton stores in sneaker stores, and throwing rocks at

0:36:56.239 --> 0:36:59.839
<v Speaker 1>cops and lighting things on fire. Who's doing all of that?

0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Not BLM peaceful protesters. They say, well, who was in

0:37:04.080 --> 0:37:07.040
<v Speaker 1>charge of all of that? But no, Instead we have

0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:11.399
<v Speaker 1>talked now of civil war. And the Democrats think about

0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:13.759
<v Speaker 1>what they were able to do with the Russia collusion lie.

0:37:14.400 --> 0:37:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Now they're going to be taken act taking action on

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the Trump insurrection. Lie, that's their plan. Thanks for listening

<v Speaker 1>Our friend Sean Parnell is back with us now. He

0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:39.000
<v Speaker 1>is a former Army ranger and bestselling author and was

0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:42.880
<v Speaker 1>a candidate for Pennsylvania seventeenth District for Congress in this

0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:45.920
<v Speaker 1>most recent election. He's also a commentator. You'll see him

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:49.400
<v Speaker 1>on TV and obviously listen to him here on radio. Sean,

0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:51.719
<v Speaker 1>great to have you. Good to be back, Buck, Thank

0:37:51.760 --> 0:37:54.360
<v Speaker 1>you for having me at what is a very interesting

0:37:54.400 --> 0:37:57.839
<v Speaker 1>time in our country, to say the least. Yeah. I mean, look,

0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:02.000
<v Speaker 1>we're going to a buy inauguration here just days away.

0:38:02.520 --> 0:38:08.000
<v Speaker 1>You're seeing all these photos of that the media are

0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:10.880
<v Speaker 1>sharing all over the place of National guardsmen not just

0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:13.840
<v Speaker 1>being in DC, but but sleeping on the floor of

0:38:13.840 --> 0:38:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the Capitol. I mean as though they're preparing for a

0:38:18.000 --> 0:38:21.320
<v Speaker 1>foreign invasion. I mean, that's that's the the the visual

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:24.680
<v Speaker 1>that you're supposed to take from this. How are how

0:38:24.719 --> 0:38:27.799
<v Speaker 1>are you seeing the political scene right now? What are

0:38:27.800 --> 0:38:30.120
<v Speaker 1>your what are your just your broad thoughts about where

0:38:30.360 --> 0:38:33.839
<v Speaker 1>where we as conservatives are at this moment. Well, I,

0:38:34.040 --> 0:38:36.920
<v Speaker 1>first of all, I think it's it's America is on

0:38:36.960 --> 0:38:40.239
<v Speaker 1>the brink. As you probably already know. Democrats haven't they

0:38:40.239 --> 0:38:43.000
<v Speaker 1>don't even have all three branches of government yet, but

0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:46.520
<v Speaker 1>they've already proposed a resolution in the House for a

0:38:46.600 --> 0:38:50.200
<v Speaker 1>constitutional amendment to abolish the electoral college. Right, So, I

0:38:50.200 --> 0:38:55.400
<v Speaker 1>think what this country can conservatives, uh specifically can expect

0:38:55.400 --> 0:38:58.240
<v Speaker 1>over the next two years are some of the most

0:38:58.360 --> 0:39:02.160
<v Speaker 1>radical pieces of legislation would fundamentally transform America as we

0:39:02.239 --> 0:39:05.600
<v Speaker 1>know it. And you know, you've got this impeachment going

0:39:05.640 --> 0:39:09.399
<v Speaker 1>on in the House and and strategically Buck you know, look,

0:39:10.239 --> 0:39:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that the president incited a riot. I

0:39:14.680 --> 0:39:17.480
<v Speaker 1>don't think that what he did rises to an impeachable offense.

0:39:17.520 --> 0:39:20.040
<v Speaker 1>And if you read the transcript, indeed you'll see that

0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:23.839
<v Speaker 1>for yourself said peacefully, you know, go peacefully, make your

0:39:23.920 --> 0:39:28.080
<v Speaker 1>voices heard. That doesn't mean that the riot at the

0:39:28.120 --> 0:39:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Capitol was acceptable. It wasn't, But at least have the

0:39:31.280 --> 0:39:34.040
<v Speaker 1>moral courage to say that Antifa and Black Lives Matter

0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:37.680
<v Speaker 1>rioting all year in twenty twenty that wasn't acceptable either,

0:39:38.239 --> 0:39:42.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, violence for political to establish some sort of

0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:47.320
<v Speaker 1>political end. It is never acceptable. But what the president

0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:49.640
<v Speaker 1>did I don't believe rise to an impeachable offense. But

0:39:49.719 --> 0:39:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats expected response was to impeach the president for

0:39:53.680 --> 0:39:57.840
<v Speaker 1>a second time, sultaneously preaching unity. And here here's the

0:39:57.880 --> 0:40:00.719
<v Speaker 1>problem with that. With that, Buck, I I think that

0:40:00.880 --> 0:40:04.680
<v Speaker 1>this impeachment moved from a tactical and strategic standpoint on

0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the Democrat side, I'm speaking just politically. I think that

0:40:08.560 --> 0:40:10.239
<v Speaker 1>they know in their heart of hearts that what the

0:40:10.239 --> 0:40:13.759
<v Speaker 1>president did to not rise to incitement of violence or

0:40:13.800 --> 0:40:15.759
<v Speaker 1>incitement of some sort of riot. But I think that

0:40:15.840 --> 0:40:22.000
<v Speaker 1>what they're trying to do is separate traditional GOP from

0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:25.280
<v Speaker 1>the Trump base. That that makes sense going into twenty

0:40:25.320 --> 0:40:28.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty two because if you're a candidate, whether you're running

0:40:28.440 --> 0:40:32.560
<v Speaker 1>for the House or the Senate, right now, conservatives have

0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:36.440
<v Speaker 1>got to walk a very fine line to bring both

0:40:36.440 --> 0:40:39.200
<v Speaker 1>of those groups out right, traditional members of the GOP

0:40:39.840 --> 0:40:44.239
<v Speaker 1>and the Trump base, especially in states like Pennsylvania. So

0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:48.600
<v Speaker 1>this impeachment, what's going on right now is really, I think,

0:40:48.680 --> 0:40:51.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, from a strategic standpoint, to divide the party

0:40:51.920 --> 0:40:55.600
<v Speaker 1>and separate traditional GOOP from the Trump base. And right

0:40:55.600 --> 0:40:59.640
<v Speaker 1>now it's working, and the GEOP should recognize that and

0:40:59.680 --> 0:41:02.120
<v Speaker 1>not allow them to do it. It doesn't mean, by

0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:04.719
<v Speaker 1>the way, it doesn't mean that we should accept what

0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 1>happened as the Capitol as the norm. We shouldn't. It's

0:41:07.600 --> 0:41:11.919
<v Speaker 1>not acceptable. As I mentioned, violence to establish some sort

0:41:11.920 --> 0:41:17.440
<v Speaker 1>of political end is never acceptable. But you know, I conservatives,

0:41:17.239 --> 0:41:22.280
<v Speaker 1>it's it's disheartening to me sometimes buck to seek conservatives

0:41:22.640 --> 0:41:26.279
<v Speaker 1>not circle their wagons and fight. The Democrats always fight.

0:41:26.400 --> 0:41:29.719
<v Speaker 1>They unify and they fight, and they do it quite effectively.

0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Republicans don't. And quite honestly, it's a leadership issue that

0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:40.319
<v Speaker 1>I hope moving forward is resolved because we don't win

0:41:40.360 --> 0:41:43.680
<v Speaker 1>elections unless we as a party as united. We as

0:41:43.719 --> 0:41:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a party are united, and that's where I think the

0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:49.000
<v Speaker 1>leadership needs to focus. Now, what do you make of

0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:53.279
<v Speaker 1>the the big tech censorship effort that's still that's still

0:41:53.320 --> 0:41:57.239
<v Speaker 1>ongoing now, especially given we found out that a lot

0:41:57.239 --> 0:41:59.799
<v Speaker 1>of the Capitol Hill riot and this is according to

0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:03.800
<v Speaker 1>left wing analysis, was actually planned on Facebook, not on Parlor.

0:42:04.080 --> 0:42:07.960
<v Speaker 1>But Parlor gets shut down. That seems like, yes, they

0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:10.040
<v Speaker 1>don't like it because it's a place where conservatives can

0:42:10.040 --> 0:42:13.360
<v Speaker 1>speak without the left's not even thumb but elbow on

0:42:13.400 --> 0:42:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the scale for the other side. But also it seems

0:42:16.680 --> 0:42:21.240
<v Speaker 1>like they really wanted to prevent a mass migration from

0:42:21.440 --> 0:42:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Twitter users to Parlor users to create a new conservative

0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:29.600
<v Speaker 1>digital ecosystem. No, you're exactly right. I look, big tech

0:42:29.719 --> 0:42:34.040
<v Speaker 1>censorship is a problem, But perhaps more concerting than that

0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:40.120
<v Speaker 1>is the collusion between big tech I e. Facebook, Twitter, Amazon.

0:42:40.719 --> 0:42:42.640
<v Speaker 1>You know the line of thinking as well. You know

0:42:42.960 --> 0:42:44.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people will tell you, oh, they're a

0:42:44.360 --> 0:42:47.080
<v Speaker 1>private company. If you can't follow their terms of service,

0:42:47.239 --> 0:42:49.560
<v Speaker 1>well you don't belong on the platform and deserve to

0:42:49.600 --> 0:42:52.880
<v Speaker 1>get footed. But the problem is their terms of service

0:42:53.000 --> 0:42:55.719
<v Speaker 1>constantly change, right, you never really know what they are,

0:42:56.040 --> 0:42:59.319
<v Speaker 1>and they always end up censoring one group. And so

0:42:59.800 --> 0:43:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the line of thinking as well, start your own social

0:43:01.800 --> 0:43:05.600
<v Speaker 1>media platform. And so with Parlor they did that, and

0:43:05.640 --> 0:43:08.359
<v Speaker 1>then it was Apple saying, well, we're going to remove

0:43:08.400 --> 0:43:10.520
<v Speaker 1>you from the app store. We'll start your own start

0:43:10.520 --> 0:43:12.960
<v Speaker 1>your own website. You can start your own website. And

0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:16.319
<v Speaker 1>then Amazon removed them from the server. Right, So what's

0:43:16.360 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 1>the next step, meaningful step after that, start your own

0:43:20.080 --> 0:43:23.960
<v Speaker 1>internet company. I don't know. The point is, I do

0:43:24.080 --> 0:43:26.719
<v Speaker 1>recognize the sensitivity of a private company being able to

0:43:26.760 --> 0:43:29.360
<v Speaker 1>call the shots and I don't like the government forcing

0:43:29.360 --> 0:43:32.320
<v Speaker 1>them to do business a certain way, but in this instance,

0:43:32.360 --> 0:43:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that there is a monopoly. There was a

0:43:34.280 --> 0:43:37.080
<v Speaker 1>level of collusion going on to crush opposition, and in

0:43:37.480 --> 0:43:40.520
<v Speaker 1>this case what it was is parlor and I think

0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:45.040
<v Speaker 1>separately but also related shutting down the president of the

0:43:45.120 --> 0:43:48.400
<v Speaker 1>United States. Now, his official Twitter account is still active,

0:43:48.400 --> 0:43:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and I think critics would say, well, they left his

0:43:50.000 --> 0:43:53.319
<v Speaker 1>official Twitter account active, but they removed tweets from that

0:43:53.360 --> 0:43:57.000
<v Speaker 1>as well. Right, is this not a national security issue?

0:43:57.920 --> 0:44:01.120
<v Speaker 1>If for some reason there was a national security issue

0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:05.480
<v Speaker 1>that required the president's attention and the president needed to

0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:08.360
<v Speaker 1>reach as many people in the country as he could

0:44:09.040 --> 0:44:12.680
<v Speaker 1>at a specific time. If if a tech company like

0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Twitter or Facebook can simply flip a switch and prevent

0:44:16.360 --> 0:44:20.640
<v Speaker 1>him from doing that, does that not have national security implications?

0:44:21.160 --> 0:44:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Especially when Yeah, while Twitter and Facebook there are certainly

0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:28.279
<v Speaker 1>based here in America that they're they're a global company,

0:44:28.480 --> 0:44:31.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, And so how much investment in Twitter and

0:44:31.920 --> 0:44:34.319
<v Speaker 1>in Facebook and in Amazon or how much of the

0:44:34.400 --> 0:44:38.759
<v Speaker 1>marketplace is in communist China, Right, that's a big deal.

0:44:38.800 --> 0:44:41.279
<v Speaker 1>And if the communist Chinese can leverage any sort of

0:44:41.320 --> 0:44:44.640
<v Speaker 1>financial power over some of these big tech companies, which,

0:44:44.680 --> 0:44:48.879
<v Speaker 1>by the way, communist China can do that, and these

0:44:48.920 --> 0:44:51.440
<v Speaker 1>tech tech companies can then flip a switch and prevent

0:44:51.480 --> 0:44:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the president of the United States from from leading this

0:44:54.600 --> 0:44:58.000
<v Speaker 1>country in a crisis. Is that not a national security issue?

0:44:58.040 --> 0:45:01.359
<v Speaker 1>And does that not demand some form of legislation to

0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:04.760
<v Speaker 1>prevent that from happening? And what you're seeing people people

0:45:04.760 --> 0:45:07.279
<v Speaker 1>in countries like Germany have come out and condemned what

0:45:07.640 --> 0:45:10.040
<v Speaker 1>big tech has done to the president. France has come

0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:13.040
<v Speaker 1>out and condemned what big tech is in terms of

0:45:13.080 --> 0:45:15.840
<v Speaker 1>centurying the president, and Poland is really putting forth meaningful

0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:18.080
<v Speaker 1>legislation to ensure that something like that can't happen in

0:45:18.120 --> 0:45:21.719
<v Speaker 1>their country. So I don't think it's as simple of

0:45:21.880 --> 0:45:24.840
<v Speaker 1>saying repeal Section two thirty, because I think that that

0:45:24.880 --> 0:45:28.960
<v Speaker 1>would destroy independent media period right, But there certainly needs

0:45:28.960 --> 0:45:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to be reforms made to make sure that companies like

0:45:31.520 --> 0:45:34.360
<v Speaker 1>this can't ban key leaders. It's being a Sean Parnell,

0:45:34.480 --> 0:45:37.879
<v Speaker 1>former Army Ranger, best selling author, and he just ran

0:45:37.960 --> 0:45:41.040
<v Speaker 1>in this election for Pennsylvania seventeen for Congress in a

0:45:41.600 --> 0:45:44.320
<v Speaker 1>nailbiter and to that and Sean, we've we've had you

0:45:44.400 --> 0:45:48.280
<v Speaker 1>on to talk about your your concerns about election integrity,

0:45:48.280 --> 0:45:52.799
<v Speaker 1>specifically in the state of Pennsylvania. Is it effectively now

0:45:54.320 --> 0:45:59.600
<v Speaker 1>very hard to almost impossible, let's say, to speak about

0:45:59.719 --> 0:46:03.680
<v Speaker 1>pub luckily those things on digital platforms without fear of

0:46:03.920 --> 0:46:07.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, to speak about real Look, they change rules

0:46:07.320 --> 0:46:10.600
<v Speaker 1>in Pennsylvania. We've talked about, talked about this many times.

0:46:10.680 --> 0:46:14.560
<v Speaker 1>They they moved around how you know, the how early

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and how late people could vote, and when the votes

0:46:17.120 --> 0:46:18.759
<v Speaker 1>would be counted, and what you had to do with

0:46:18.840 --> 0:46:21.440
<v Speaker 1>the mail in ballot procedures. All kinds of shifts that

0:46:21.480 --> 0:46:25.360
<v Speaker 1>were made. Do you ever get to get dinged or

0:46:25.400 --> 0:46:27.960
<v Speaker 1>do you ever have of a concern that you might

0:46:28.080 --> 0:46:31.040
<v Speaker 1>be shut down and deep platformed just for talking about

0:46:31.080 --> 0:46:35.120
<v Speaker 1>that stuff? Yes? And yeah, and I won't go into specifics,

0:46:35.160 --> 0:46:37.239
<v Speaker 1>but it's already happening. Like you like you, Buck and

0:46:37.320 --> 0:46:40.440
<v Speaker 1>many other conservatives on Twitter, I've lost close to forty

0:46:40.520 --> 0:46:45.400
<v Speaker 1>thousand followers in a week, um, and and more followers

0:46:45.440 --> 0:46:47.719
<v Speaker 1>on Facebook and Instagram and things like that. And I

0:46:47.840 --> 0:46:50.600
<v Speaker 1>think this this brings me to the second point of

0:46:51.320 --> 0:46:56.480
<v Speaker 1>this impeachment. Uh, the democratic strategy behind the impeachment is

0:46:56.600 --> 0:46:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to sort of put forth like like the the idea

0:47:00.400 --> 0:47:03.840
<v Speaker 1>that if you talk about election integrity there are issues

0:47:03.920 --> 0:47:08.680
<v Speaker 1>that pertain to twenty twenty, then therefore you're inciting violence. Right,

0:47:09.320 --> 0:47:12.120
<v Speaker 1>That's a real problem. And I think the Democrats right

0:47:12.200 --> 0:47:15.440
<v Speaker 1>now and again the second tier of their strategy with

0:47:15.520 --> 0:47:19.360
<v Speaker 1>his impeachment is to make any discussion of election integrity

0:47:19.680 --> 0:47:22.040
<v Speaker 1>wold is in a public form on social media a

0:47:22.160 --> 0:47:25.720
<v Speaker 1>thought crime when there are really there, really are valid

0:47:25.880 --> 0:47:29.400
<v Speaker 1>questions to be had here, right. And so your question

0:47:29.480 --> 0:47:33.759
<v Speaker 1>of what's the way forward in Pennsylvania, well, yes, it

0:47:33.880 --> 0:47:36.320
<v Speaker 1>is difficult to talk about in public. Were there issues?

0:47:36.440 --> 0:47:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Were there issues as they pertain to this election? Yes?

0:47:40.960 --> 0:47:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Are those issues resolved right now? What less than a

0:47:44.280 --> 0:47:47.759
<v Speaker 1>week prior to inauguration? No, they haven't been involved. They

0:47:47.800 --> 0:47:51.160
<v Speaker 1>haven't been resolved. In fact, there's still a voter deficit

0:47:51.600 --> 0:47:53.520
<v Speaker 1>in Pennsylvania that's yet to be resolved in what that

0:47:53.719 --> 0:47:56.440
<v Speaker 1>essentially means more votes than voters. Have been criticized for

0:47:56.520 --> 0:48:01.280
<v Speaker 1>that online, saying that it's been debunked. It's not been debunked.

0:48:01.560 --> 0:48:03.799
<v Speaker 1>The only thing that the Secretary of State of Pennsylvania

0:48:03.880 --> 0:48:07.560
<v Speaker 1>has said is that that the information that I'm presenting

0:48:07.640 --> 0:48:09.880
<v Speaker 1>is based on incomplete data and I turn around and

0:48:09.960 --> 0:48:12.279
<v Speaker 1>I say to the Secretary of State, Well, then if

0:48:12.320 --> 0:48:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the data is incomplete, how then do you certify the

0:48:15.560 --> 0:48:18.080
<v Speaker 1>races in the state of Pennsylvania on November twenty fourth,

0:48:18.160 --> 0:48:20.560
<v Speaker 1>when they're still technically in the state of Pennsylvania more

0:48:20.640 --> 0:48:23.600
<v Speaker 1>votes than voters. Now, she'll probably say, well, as time

0:48:23.760 --> 0:48:27.840
<v Speaker 1>goes on, that gap will close. Well, in Montgomery County,

0:48:27.880 --> 0:48:31.120
<v Speaker 1>for example, Buck, there's still a voter depicit, right, there's

0:48:31.120 --> 0:48:34.000
<v Speaker 1>still a voter depicite of over six thousand votes, in

0:48:34.040 --> 0:48:37.239
<v Speaker 1>other words, more votes than voters. And they've been done

0:48:38.040 --> 0:48:41.319
<v Speaker 1>right for about four weeks. Now. It doesn't mean they're

0:48:41.360 --> 0:48:43.360
<v Speaker 1>not working to resolve that. It doesn't mean that that

0:48:43.480 --> 0:48:46.880
<v Speaker 1>gap won't close, but they've been officially done counting for

0:48:47.360 --> 0:48:52.680
<v Speaker 1>about a month. So moving forward, right, Discussing this stuff

0:48:52.760 --> 0:48:57.279
<v Speaker 1>moving forward for me is not about overturning twenty twenty right,

0:48:57.360 --> 0:49:00.320
<v Speaker 1>it's not about that. But if we don't us this

0:49:00.480 --> 0:49:03.640
<v Speaker 1>stuff now, well, then how can we guarantee you know,

0:49:03.800 --> 0:49:07.000
<v Speaker 1>municipal elections in twenty twenty one, where mail and ballots

0:49:07.040 --> 0:49:08.919
<v Speaker 1>are being sent out for in what a few months

0:49:09.040 --> 0:49:11.520
<v Speaker 1>just for municipal election, and then in twenty twenty two

0:49:11.880 --> 0:49:14.520
<v Speaker 1>there's a gubernatorial election. There will be a gubernatorial election

0:49:14.560 --> 0:49:16.680
<v Speaker 1>in a Senate race here in the state of Pennsylvania,

0:49:16.960 --> 0:49:21.120
<v Speaker 1>We've got to have these wrinkles ironed out prior to

0:49:21.239 --> 0:49:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that time or the situation will get worse. There's state

0:49:25.280 --> 0:49:28.680
<v Speaker 1>law in Pennsylvania PA statute I think thirty one fifty

0:49:28.719 --> 0:49:31.680
<v Speaker 1>four says that the books at the precinct, county, and

0:49:31.840 --> 0:49:36.960
<v Speaker 1>state state level must be reconciled prior to certification. And

0:49:37.120 --> 0:49:40.080
<v Speaker 1>right now they're not. And so that's a problem we've got.

0:49:40.320 --> 0:49:42.239
<v Speaker 1>We've got to be able to talk about it and

0:49:42.360 --> 0:49:44.880
<v Speaker 1>discussions just like this to make sure that it doesn't

0:49:44.920 --> 0:49:48.440
<v Speaker 1>happen moving forward. You know, I posted on Facebook today

0:49:48.560 --> 0:49:52.719
<v Speaker 1>buck about Look, you know, we're going to see some

0:49:53.200 --> 0:49:56.360
<v Speaker 1>very radical pieces of legislation moving forward. They've already, like

0:49:56.360 --> 0:49:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I said, they've already got a resolution to propose a

0:49:58.360 --> 0:50:01.080
<v Speaker 1>constitutional amendment to abolish the elect to or college. I

0:50:01.200 --> 0:50:04.720
<v Speaker 1>think conservatives can reasonably expect, you know, Washington at Washington,

0:50:04.840 --> 0:50:07.680
<v Speaker 1>d C. And Puerto Rico statehood. I think there's an

0:50:07.719 --> 0:50:09.880
<v Speaker 1>argument to be made the left is going to try

0:50:09.920 --> 0:50:11.920
<v Speaker 1>to pack the Supreme Court all things that you've addressed

0:50:11.960 --> 0:50:14.719
<v Speaker 1>on your show before. Look, these things are coming. And

0:50:14.800 --> 0:50:17.760
<v Speaker 1>when the Democrats wield power and control all three branches

0:50:17.840 --> 0:50:20.320
<v Speaker 1>of government, they are never afraid to wield it. But

0:50:20.440 --> 0:50:22.839
<v Speaker 1>that does not mean that we should stop fighting. In fact,

0:50:22.960 --> 0:50:25.840
<v Speaker 1>what I've called for, you know, my supporters and volunteers

0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:28.560
<v Speaker 1>all across the state of Pennsylvania, they need to lean

0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:31.000
<v Speaker 1>into the fight buck right now. They need to be

0:50:31.560 --> 0:50:37.480
<v Speaker 1>door knocking, organizing fundraising, helping municipal candidates and local candidates

0:50:37.520 --> 0:50:40.880
<v Speaker 1>win at the local level. We win locally, will win congressionally,

0:50:40.920 --> 0:50:43.680
<v Speaker 1>will win statewide. Right, all of that is important. We

0:50:43.800 --> 0:50:46.880
<v Speaker 1>don't have the luxury of off seasons. Now there's going

0:50:46.960 --> 0:50:49.440
<v Speaker 1>to be a redistricting coming in the state of Pennsylvania.

0:50:49.880 --> 0:50:52.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, people in constituents across across the state of

0:50:52.760 --> 0:50:55.759
<v Speaker 1>Pennsylvania should be calling their state legislators and working with

0:50:55.880 --> 0:50:59.520
<v Speaker 1>them and telling them what their feelings are about redistricting.

0:51:00.040 --> 0:51:02.839
<v Speaker 1>Because it's a Republican controlled legislature, we control the power there.

0:51:02.880 --> 0:51:05.400
<v Speaker 1>We need to wheel it like the Democrats would field it. Right, So,

0:51:05.880 --> 0:51:08.239
<v Speaker 1>there are lots of very productive things that we can

0:51:08.280 --> 0:51:10.440
<v Speaker 1>be doing right now. And yes, our backs are against

0:51:10.719 --> 0:51:12.480
<v Speaker 1>or against the wall, but it doesn't mean we're out

0:51:12.520 --> 0:51:14.160
<v Speaker 1>of the fight. I gotta ask you, Sean before we

0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:18.520
<v Speaker 1>let you go. You are a decorated Army ranger served

0:51:18.560 --> 0:51:24.040
<v Speaker 1>in combat in Afghanistan. Uh CNN's most sanctimonious anchor Jake

0:51:24.120 --> 0:51:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Tapper referring to Brian Mast, who is a member of

0:51:26.800 --> 0:51:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Congress who served in the military and lost his legs

0:51:31.120 --> 0:51:34.520
<v Speaker 1>fighting for this country abroad. Jake Tapper's comment was, quote

0:51:34.600 --> 0:51:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Congressman Brian Mast, who lost his legs, by the way,

0:51:37.160 --> 0:51:40.480
<v Speaker 1>fighting for democracy abroad, although I don't know about his

0:51:40.560 --> 0:51:44.160
<v Speaker 1>commitment to it here in the United States. What do

0:51:44.200 --> 0:51:47.800
<v Speaker 1>you say to that? Yeah, well, Brian Mast is a

0:51:47.880 --> 0:51:50.880
<v Speaker 1>friend of mine and and quite I am so disappointed

0:51:50.920 --> 0:51:55.040
<v Speaker 1>in Jake, right, It's Jake is someone to It's just

0:51:55.160 --> 0:51:57.880
<v Speaker 1>an event that your listeners don't know. Um, Jake is

0:51:57.920 --> 0:52:02.440
<v Speaker 1>someone that that writes books about military veterans, that talks

0:52:02.480 --> 0:52:07.280
<v Speaker 1>about military veterans a lot publicly, and and and acts

0:52:07.440 --> 0:52:10.040
<v Speaker 1>as if he's a big supporter of military makes money

0:52:10.360 --> 0:52:14.759
<v Speaker 1>right on the backs of military members service. So but

0:52:14.920 --> 0:52:19.080
<v Speaker 1>then to turn around and say something like that about

0:52:19.280 --> 0:52:23.200
<v Speaker 1>a Republican member of Congress who you know, you can

0:52:23.320 --> 0:52:27.080
<v Speaker 1>disagree with the method, but there's there's still a constitutional

0:52:27.160 --> 0:52:30.439
<v Speaker 1>process and structure to raise those questions on the House floor.

0:52:31.000 --> 0:52:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Brian mass spot for his country. He lost his legs

0:52:34.360 --> 0:52:37.120
<v Speaker 1>overseas defending democracy. And believe me when I tell you,

0:52:37.640 --> 0:52:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the man loves freedom of speech, loves the Constitution. May

0:52:42.560 --> 0:52:45.120
<v Speaker 1>not always agree with what others have to say about him,

0:52:45.160 --> 0:52:47.920
<v Speaker 1>but he'll he'll go to his grave trying to protect it.

0:52:48.320 --> 0:52:50.520
<v Speaker 1>And for Jake Tapper to single him out as a

0:52:50.560 --> 0:52:54.000
<v Speaker 1>double amputee, as somebody who has sacrificed so much for

0:52:54.160 --> 0:52:59.840
<v Speaker 1>his country, it's just disgusting. It's just disgusting. Sean Bornell,

0:52:59.840 --> 0:53:02.560
<v Speaker 1>every buddy, check out Outlaw Platoon. If you haven't already,

0:53:02.800 --> 0:53:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you should get it on wherever you get books. Sean,

0:53:06.120 --> 0:53:09.959
<v Speaker 1>good to see you. My friend will talk soon. Thanks, Buck,

0:53:10.000 --> 0:53:15.279
<v Speaker 1>take care you're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the

0:53:15.440 --> 0:53:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sex and Show podcast because Congressman Brian Masked, a

0:53:23.280 --> 0:53:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Republican from Florida who lost his legs by the way,

0:53:26.000 --> 0:53:28.960
<v Speaker 1>fighting for democracy abroad. Although I don't know what his

0:53:29.920 --> 0:53:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about his commitment to it here in

0:53:31.680 --> 0:53:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the United States. He said, did anybody say that, Yes, yeah,

0:53:34.719 --> 0:53:37.560
<v Speaker 1>we heard him. Answers, Yes, there you go. That's that's

0:53:37.640 --> 0:53:40.959
<v Speaker 1>that's Jake Tapper, all about the vet said all about

0:53:41.000 --> 0:53:43.600
<v Speaker 1>all about the troops. Jake Tapper, sure, sure, you know

0:53:43.680 --> 0:53:46.320
<v Speaker 1>if you criticize John McCain, his favorite thing to do

0:53:46.600 --> 0:53:50.480
<v Speaker 1>was always John McCain's a hero. And remember he only

0:53:50.640 --> 0:53:52.239
<v Speaker 1>was doing that because he hates Trump so much and

0:53:52.400 --> 0:53:55.400
<v Speaker 1>was using the McCain, the McCain wing of the GOP

0:53:55.680 --> 0:53:58.000
<v Speaker 1>as a as a way of attacking Trump, and Trump

0:53:58.040 --> 0:53:59.960
<v Speaker 1>said things about McCain that we're not nice. We all

0:54:00.120 --> 0:54:03.200
<v Speaker 1>know that, but it was always a shield. You can't

0:54:03.200 --> 0:54:06.759
<v Speaker 1>actually criticize John McCain, the Democrats would say when it

0:54:06.800 --> 0:54:09.600
<v Speaker 1>was useful for bashing Trump because of his military service.

0:54:09.920 --> 0:54:12.080
<v Speaker 1>But now here you've got a guy that lost his

0:54:12.280 --> 0:54:16.719
<v Speaker 1>legs in honorable and brave service first country overseas. And

0:54:16.800 --> 0:54:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Jake Tappers as well, he fought first country overseas, but

0:54:19.560 --> 0:54:21.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not clear that he cares about democracy here at home.

0:54:22.400 --> 0:54:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh, okay, just just remember the next time Jake

0:54:26.520 --> 0:54:28.759
<v Speaker 1>starts tweeting out, I love the troops. I love the

0:54:28.800 --> 0:54:32.319
<v Speaker 1>troops so much. I'm all about the troops. I've never

0:54:32.400 --> 0:54:36.719
<v Speaker 1>seen anybody in media who has never actually spent any

0:54:36.840 --> 0:54:39.840
<v Speaker 1>part of his life anywhere near serving the country, in

0:54:39.920 --> 0:54:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the military, in the state department, you know, anywhere. I've

0:54:43.600 --> 0:54:46.800
<v Speaker 1>never seen somebody who was such a fixation on promoting

0:54:47.160 --> 0:54:49.960
<v Speaker 1>others service. It seems as a means of promoting how

0:54:50.080 --> 0:54:54.080
<v Speaker 1>great he is. But that all falls away the moment

0:54:54.200 --> 0:54:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that you see an opportunity to attack somebody who was

0:54:58.239 --> 0:55:02.279
<v Speaker 1>a Trump supporter in Congress, right, that's that's that's what

0:55:02.400 --> 0:55:04.839
<v Speaker 1>you have here. So it's gross, folks, but you're gonna

0:55:04.880 --> 0:55:07.200
<v Speaker 1>see a lot more of this. Remember the left, the

0:55:07.280 --> 0:55:09.480
<v Speaker 1>left didn't have any principles before. They're not gonna have

0:55:09.560 --> 0:55:13.040
<v Speaker 1>any now. I have principles on say, condemning political violence.

0:55:13.480 --> 0:55:15.480
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I know that some people don't like

0:55:16.040 --> 0:55:18.800
<v Speaker 1>hearing the truth about that, but it is true. Democrats

0:55:18.840 --> 0:55:22.840
<v Speaker 1>don't have that problem. They're just hypocrites. Thanks for listening

<v Speaker 1>your podcasts. What's going on within the Republican Party right now?

0:55:34.520 --> 0:55:37.880
<v Speaker 1>We had a number of folks in the GOP in

0:55:38.000 --> 0:55:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Congress who voted to impeach Trump. There's a lot of

0:55:40.880 --> 0:55:44.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about the intramural fighting that's going on. Well, one

0:55:44.680 --> 0:55:48.080
<v Speaker 1>group that has been trying to capitalize on that in

0:55:48.200 --> 0:55:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of ways is the Lincoln Project. Our

0:55:52.440 --> 0:55:55.400
<v Speaker 1>guests right now, Ryan Gurduski joins us. He's got a

0:55:55.480 --> 0:56:01.160
<v Speaker 1>piece in the American Conservative called the Lincoln Projects Predator,

0:56:01.800 --> 0:56:05.120
<v Speaker 1>and Ryan, thanks for joining. First, just tell folks, in

0:56:05.239 --> 0:56:07.640
<v Speaker 1>case anyone doesn't know is listening to this, what is

0:56:07.719 --> 0:56:10.320
<v Speaker 1>the Lincoln Project and what has it been doing. Lincoln

0:56:10.360 --> 0:56:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Project is an organization of never Trump Republicans led by

0:56:14.120 --> 0:56:18.040
<v Speaker 1>George Conway, Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson. More famously, they're the

0:56:18.040 --> 0:56:20.680
<v Speaker 1>ones who go in television a lot, and they've raised

0:56:20.800 --> 0:56:24.960
<v Speaker 1>well over seventy five million dollars from very gullibal donors

0:56:25.400 --> 0:56:29.399
<v Speaker 1>to attack Trump. They've paid their own firms millions upon

0:56:29.440 --> 0:56:32.600
<v Speaker 1>millions dollars. I believe it is. Steve Schmidt was paid

0:56:32.680 --> 0:56:34.680
<v Speaker 1>over one point five or was paid exactly one point

0:56:34.719 --> 0:56:40.480
<v Speaker 1>five million dollars for one month's work between November and December,

0:56:40.600 --> 0:56:42.680
<v Speaker 1>so after the presidential election, he was already paid one

0:56:42.719 --> 0:56:45.160
<v Speaker 1>point five million dollars for one month of work. They

0:56:45.280 --> 0:56:47.680
<v Speaker 1>raised millions upon millions of dollars to attack Trump and

0:56:47.760 --> 0:56:51.480
<v Speaker 1>all Republicans. They spent millions against Susan Collins millions against

0:56:51.520 --> 0:56:55.319
<v Speaker 1>Tom Tillis. I mean, it's not just Trump, it's ball Republicans. Now,

0:56:55.880 --> 0:56:58.640
<v Speaker 1>who were they raising before we get to your article,

0:56:58.680 --> 0:57:02.359
<v Speaker 1>which is I think we could describe as as um

0:57:03.280 --> 0:57:06.719
<v Speaker 1>sillacious the content where we're talking about here with this guy.

0:57:08.160 --> 0:57:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Who are they raising? Because people say that they're raising

0:57:10.600 --> 0:57:12.839
<v Speaker 1>some of them from left wing donors, so it's kind

0:57:12.840 --> 0:57:16.240
<v Speaker 1>of a false flag style project where they're pretending to

0:57:16.280 --> 0:57:18.520
<v Speaker 1>be one thing, but they're actually getting money from the left.

0:57:18.960 --> 0:57:21.680
<v Speaker 1>But are there conservative donors who are giving the Lincoln

0:57:21.720 --> 0:57:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Project money or you know, Republican donors we're giving additional

0:57:25.160 --> 0:57:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Republicans who are like the Cindy McCain Republicans who are

0:57:28.560 --> 0:57:31.320
<v Speaker 1>just repulsed by Trump's behaviors, so they give them money.

0:57:31.680 --> 0:57:34.200
<v Speaker 1>It's I mean, and who gives to campaigns? Who gives

0:57:34.240 --> 0:57:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the path? I mean most of them are most people

0:57:36.360 --> 0:57:37.920
<v Speaker 1>who donate a lot, not most, but a lot of

0:57:37.920 --> 0:57:40.880
<v Speaker 1>people who donate. Our older people who maybe some are

0:57:41.120 --> 0:57:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Republicans or from a Republicans who were turned off by

0:57:43.360 --> 0:57:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump's attitude or behavior, so they gave, you know, their

0:57:46.280 --> 0:57:49.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand dollars and they're being swindled out of it,

0:57:49.080 --> 0:57:52.120
<v Speaker 1>and they deserve as much as anybody does to know

0:57:52.240 --> 0:57:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the truth of this organization. Now, I mean, seventy five

0:57:55.600 --> 0:57:59.240
<v Speaker 1>million dollars seems like a lot of money for something

0:57:59.320 --> 0:58:03.120
<v Speaker 1>like this, A lot of money, and tell me what,

0:58:03.440 --> 0:58:08.280
<v Speaker 1>what do we need to know about John Weaver? Right, So,

0:58:08.400 --> 0:58:11.400
<v Speaker 1>one of the organization's founders. His name is John Weaver.

0:58:11.560 --> 0:58:15.160
<v Speaker 1>He was a former McCain consultant. He ran the John

0:58:15.240 --> 0:58:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Huntsman campaign. He was on the John Casa campaign. John

0:58:19.880 --> 0:58:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Weaver followed me on Twitter over the summer, which I

0:58:22.360 --> 0:58:24.440
<v Speaker 1>have a fairly large Twitter following, but I didn't. But

0:58:24.720 --> 0:58:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I thought I thought it odds since I'm openly supportive

0:58:27.920 --> 0:58:31.240
<v Speaker 1>of the president um and he runs his anti President

0:58:31.280 --> 0:58:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Trump organization. Well, within a day of him following me,

0:58:35.680 --> 0:58:37.960
<v Speaker 1>young men were messaging me saying, you know, be on

0:58:38.040 --> 0:58:42.120
<v Speaker 1>the lookout. He uh. He reaches out to younger guys,

0:58:42.320 --> 0:58:45.440
<v Speaker 1>is that they're offered them career advice, and then changes

0:58:45.520 --> 0:58:48.880
<v Speaker 1>to approaching them to asking them for sex or questioning

0:58:48.920 --> 0:58:51.400
<v Speaker 1>about sex and wanting to show them to call him

0:58:51.440 --> 0:58:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and an approach him in some kind of sexual manner.

0:58:56.440 --> 0:58:58.960
<v Speaker 1>This was the accusation lobby. So I try to get

0:58:59.080 --> 0:59:02.479
<v Speaker 1>a month trying to get a source on record because

0:59:02.480 --> 0:59:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I needed one. I'm not the Washington Post, so I

0:59:04.720 --> 0:59:07.760
<v Speaker 1>need one on record source to come forward to admit

0:59:08.000 --> 0:59:11.840
<v Speaker 1>that this happened to them and to make this accusation public.

0:59:11.880 --> 0:59:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't just use anonymous sources. Well, I couldn't get one.

0:59:15.720 --> 0:59:18.000
<v Speaker 1>People were afraid. These are young guys. You guys in

0:59:18.000 --> 0:59:20.400
<v Speaker 1>their early twenties, and John Weavers man who's sixty one

0:59:20.520 --> 0:59:22.400
<v Speaker 1>years old and has a lot of money and a

0:59:22.480 --> 0:59:24.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of lawyers, and they were afraid of their careers

0:59:24.880 --> 0:59:29.080
<v Speaker 1>being destroyed before they started. Finally, over the weekend, I

0:59:29.320 --> 0:59:31.640
<v Speaker 1>was so frustrated with some of the tweets out the

0:59:32.120 --> 0:59:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Lincoln Project that they were going to start tracking every

0:59:35.760 --> 0:59:37.640
<v Speaker 1>employee of the Trump White House. Some of these people

0:59:37.640 --> 0:59:39.520
<v Speaker 1>are in their twenties and thirties and just trying their life,

0:59:39.760 --> 0:59:42.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to make them unhirable, that I said, maybe I

0:59:42.800 --> 0:59:45.600
<v Speaker 1>should reveal the story of a Lincoln Project founder who

0:59:45.800 --> 0:59:49.120
<v Speaker 1>was approaching young men for sex and promising them work

0:59:49.160 --> 0:59:51.840
<v Speaker 1>that never materialized, or maybe his wife would like to know.

0:59:53.040 --> 0:59:58.000
<v Speaker 1>And then and then within and I included the favorite

0:59:58.040 --> 1:00:00.800
<v Speaker 1>euphemism that John Weaver uses in most his messages which

1:00:00.880 --> 1:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>he calls these young men my boy, which is really

1:00:03.720 --> 1:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>gross and creepy, but he does it all the time. Anyway,

1:00:06.720 --> 1:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I tweet this out and people started coming forward and

1:00:10.040 --> 1:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>claimed saying, this is what happened to me that John

1:00:12.360 --> 1:00:14.479
<v Speaker 1>Weaver did. So I finally I had on the record

1:00:14.600 --> 1:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>people because people were posting on their own social media,

1:00:16.880 --> 1:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>and I was able to write the story of all

1:00:20.800 --> 1:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>these men. There's a writer name by the name of

1:00:22.760 --> 1:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Scott Steedman. He runs a website called forensic News. Never

1:00:25.920 --> 1:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>heard of it. He's a left winger. He wrote a

1:00:28.200 --> 1:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>book about Trump and Rushigate and all the rest of it.

1:00:30.200 --> 1:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>But but John Weaver wrote a blur for his book.

1:00:32.960 --> 1:00:35.720
<v Speaker 1>He has a professional relations with John Weaver, and he

1:00:35.880 --> 1:00:39.560
<v Speaker 1>admitted John Weaver did this to him, and he wrote

1:00:39.600 --> 1:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>an article and between Steadman's article and how many how

1:00:42.880 --> 1:00:45.680
<v Speaker 1>many sources he claims the number of people have come

1:00:45.680 --> 1:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>to be able to privately empily and people who posted

1:00:49.120 --> 1:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>on their own social media John Weaver's messages, it's well

1:00:52.000 --> 1:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>over sixty young men have come forward and said John

1:00:55.240 --> 1:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Weaver approached him in a sexual manner, offering career advice

1:00:58.920 --> 1:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>or career opportunity. Is an exchange for sex, so so

1:01:02.480 --> 1:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>so to be clear, this would be under the h

1:01:06.280 --> 1:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>This would be under the general umbrella of of of

1:01:09.240 --> 1:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>gross and harassing behavior. But there's no there's no allegation

1:01:13.600 --> 1:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>of actual illegality in any of this. Right. The men

1:01:16.920 --> 1:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>are of age and everything out there's no manner of

1:01:19.920 --> 1:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>age that I know of, But I cannot comment on

1:01:22.960 --> 1:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>if there's nothing illegal because I don't know everyone's story.

1:01:26.520 --> 1:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these are this is a four day old

1:01:29.680 --> 1:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>story that sixty people have come forward sharing messages, and

1:01:33.400 --> 1:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>it's always with the context of I know there are

1:01:35.880 --> 1:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>worse and I know this is this is much worse

1:01:38.200 --> 1:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>than what I experience, and I do know cases that

1:01:40.680 --> 1:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>are much worse. But until any young man comes forward

1:01:43.800 --> 1:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>with anything and is willing to go on record, I

1:01:46.960 --> 1:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>can't say if anything is illegal. UM. That being said,

1:01:52.400 --> 1:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>the promise of UM of professional help in exchange for

1:01:56.880 --> 1:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>sexual favors um, and then that it's a form of grooming.

1:02:01.640 --> 1:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean they he was, he was approaching these men

1:02:04.440 --> 1:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>and one clearly clearly highly clearly highly unethical and disgusting.

1:02:08.480 --> 1:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>But just just for all the listeners to make sure

1:02:10.440 --> 1:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about uh, we're still all these children. These

1:02:13.720 --> 1:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>are men, These are these are adults Tres Yeah, yeah,

1:02:17.080 --> 1:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>these are not children. These are young men who are

1:02:19.120 --> 1:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>in range. The age ranges usually from nineteen to twenty four. Um,

1:02:24.680 --> 1:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>that's most of the men. Have you already gotten? Have

1:02:26.880 --> 1:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>you already gotten some some backlash about this amount? I

1:02:29.840 --> 1:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>know you are a Laura Ingraham show talking about it.

1:02:32.400 --> 1:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I mean people liberals are like, how dare you?

1:02:35.400 --> 1:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>You didn't attack Trump? Well, I wasn't reporting on the

1:02:37.960 --> 1:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Trump story. I couldn't make heads or tails of any

1:02:39.880 --> 1:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>of his alley at any allegations against him, And saying

1:02:43.240 --> 1:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>you are you can't be mad at You can be

1:02:45.480 --> 1:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>mad at one and not the other. Or because you

1:02:47.320 --> 1:02:48.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't speak up against one, but you can't sea you

1:02:48.920 --> 1:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>cant speak against the other. That makes no sense whatsoever.

1:02:51.960 --> 1:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I reached out to Lincoln Project. Um, they have not

1:02:55.360 --> 1:02:58.200
<v Speaker 1>made any single statement. They never they never responded to

1:02:58.280 --> 1:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>all my inquiries. Um. John Weavers not responding to any

1:03:01.840 --> 1:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>inquiries on the SOCICT matter. He blocked me from Twitter

1:03:04.120 --> 1:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>right afterwards, ed as a few other high level link

1:03:07.400 --> 1:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>In Project members. The Lincoln Project has not said anything,

1:03:11.520 --> 1:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>but they did take down their web page that show

1:03:14.280 --> 1:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>John Weaver as a founding member. They got rid of

1:03:16.960 --> 1:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>it completely, and then they posted a link up the

1:03:19.240 --> 1:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>accounts you can Trust and ironically they posted every Lincoln

1:03:23.080 --> 1:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>member founder except for John Weaver. We're speaking to Ryan Grudusky,

1:03:26.440 --> 1:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>author of They're Not Listening. They's also got a piece

1:03:29.360 --> 1:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>up on the American American Conservative for talking about Now

1:03:32.400 --> 1:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>why should people in general? Now, No, forget about the

1:03:35.600 --> 1:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>John Weavers story, which is a powerful DC insider abuse

1:03:41.520 --> 1:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>abuse of power story. Right, That's that's why you wrote that. Well,

1:03:45.160 --> 1:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>why should people know about the link in project? How

1:03:47.960 --> 1:03:52.200
<v Speaker 1>much of a problem has it been and will it be? Well,

1:03:52.240 --> 1:03:55.480
<v Speaker 1>they haven't been very successful on their campaigns. Most of

1:03:55.520 --> 1:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>it is a grip. Most of their money goes to

1:03:57.480 --> 1:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>themselves or their companies or their LSU. They have. They

1:04:02.160 --> 1:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>spent a lot of money against Susan Collins, they failed,

1:04:04.760 --> 1:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>against Tom Tillis, they failed. They failed on many aspects

1:04:09.280 --> 1:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>of their campaigning. But nonetheless, this is not an unusual

1:04:15.880 --> 1:04:20.840
<v Speaker 1>situation for people to grift. Grifting is very, very, very real,

1:04:21.320 --> 1:04:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and I think there's a lot of people who give

1:04:23.240 --> 1:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>their their hard earned dollars to organizations thinking they're furthering

1:04:27.760 --> 1:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>um what their beliefs are, and most of it's going

1:04:31.200 --> 1:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to salaries and lawyers, and very little of it goes

1:04:34.680 --> 1:04:37.600
<v Speaker 1>to actually making a difference. And Lincoln Products not alone

1:04:37.640 --> 1:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>in that in that perspective um, but we are having

1:04:41.000 --> 1:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>We're at a point right now where we're having I

1:04:43.360 --> 1:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>can't tell you how any journalists are working on stories about,

1:04:47.920 --> 1:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, Turning Point USA and what goes on their conferences,

1:04:51.840 --> 1:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>or Young Americans for Liberty, what goes on their with

1:04:54.000 --> 1:04:57.920
<v Speaker 1>their institution, looking into right wing institutions, for anything in

1:04:58.080 --> 1:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the discreet when you have a major, major player, I mean,

1:05:01.680 --> 1:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the Lincoln Projects founders were on television as of as

1:05:05.400 --> 1:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>of today, almost a dozen times since the story broke

1:05:08.800 --> 1:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>on Monday, and no one has asked them even asked them, Hey,

1:05:12.480 --> 1:05:15.040
<v Speaker 1>you have a co founder who's been accused dozens of

1:05:15.160 --> 1:05:19.720
<v Speaker 1>times of sexual harassment, of offering jobs for sex, of

1:05:19.840 --> 1:05:22.760
<v Speaker 1>approaching young men in a creepy manner dozens of times

1:05:22.800 --> 1:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>in just a few days. Do you have a comment

1:05:24.600 --> 1:05:27.400
<v Speaker 1>on that. Nicole Wallace didn't ask it, Joe Scarbo didn't

1:05:27.440 --> 1:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>ask it, no one has asked it. Well, I think

1:05:30.080 --> 1:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>this raises a bigger issue right as well of what

1:05:32.640 --> 1:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>we can expect in the Biden administration in general from

1:05:36.160 --> 1:05:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the press, whether it's a story that would fall under

1:05:40.240 --> 1:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>me too, or grifting or just general abuse of power.

1:05:44.480 --> 1:05:47.600
<v Speaker 1>If it's not, if it's not a think I think

1:05:47.640 --> 1:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the question, I think the question goes to even bigger

1:05:50.680 --> 1:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>part of it. They're running on this whole Trump is

1:05:53.000 --> 1:05:56.720
<v Speaker 1>an unethical man. This is an unethical administration. Okay, fine,

1:05:57.520 --> 1:06:00.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to make that claim. Make that claim. Who

1:06:00.840 --> 1:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>else in the Lincoln Project knew about John Weaver and

1:06:04.320 --> 1:06:07.480
<v Speaker 1>his actions? So I could tell you I've had four

1:06:07.640 --> 1:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>people make accusations that at least four other Lincoln Project

1:06:10.760 --> 1:06:14.280
<v Speaker 1>members knew about it openly and tried to suppress it.

1:06:14.760 --> 1:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Now only did they try to They didn't try to

1:06:18.040 --> 1:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>tell John Weaver or out John Weaver. They tried to

1:06:20.240 --> 1:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>kill the story because they didn't want it to come forward.

1:06:23.720 --> 1:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>So this is and they are complicit then in sexual harassment,

1:06:27.240 --> 1:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>every single one of them that knew, and I guarantee

1:06:30.240 --> 1:06:31.720
<v Speaker 1>you knew. And by the way, I will say this

1:06:31.840 --> 1:06:33.920
<v Speaker 1>other thing about the John Weavers story. When I was

1:06:34.240 --> 1:06:36.720
<v Speaker 1>getting close to publishing it the first time, over the summer,

1:06:36.960 --> 1:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>John Weaver had a heart attack quote unquote where the

1:06:40.920 --> 1:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Lincoln Project cities as a heart at attack and whatever.

1:06:43.120 --> 1:06:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I hired a private detective to reach out and to

1:06:46.360 --> 1:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>look at the nearby hospitals near his home in Texas

1:06:49.000 --> 1:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>and in Washington, DC. And there was no record of

1:06:51.920 --> 1:06:56.280
<v Speaker 1>a John Weaver ever going to the hospital. But they

1:06:56.320 --> 1:06:58.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't know why I was getting close to publishing the story.

1:06:59.080 --> 1:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>So I don't I think that this is a very

1:07:03.760 --> 1:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>nefarious organization that is doing things and suppressing stories. And

1:07:08.080 --> 1:07:11.640
<v Speaker 1>if it happened, if it's now sixty accusations of either

1:07:11.760 --> 1:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>creepy texting or strange behavior or open harassment or you know,

1:07:18.320 --> 1:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>promising jobs for sex, and there's dozens and dozens in

1:07:21.600 --> 1:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>just a few days, what else is there? And unfortunately

1:07:25.080 --> 1:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>journalists in America they're looking for any other story that

1:07:27.720 --> 1:07:30.720
<v Speaker 1>they could possibly do, rather than looking to an organization

1:07:30.840 --> 1:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>theories over seventy five million dollars in a single solitary year,

1:07:33.720 --> 1:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>take on the president and the Republican Party. Ryan Gerdusky,

1:07:37.240 --> 1:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>he's digging in, it's getting answers. Go check out his

1:07:40.440 --> 1:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>piece on the American Conservative the Lincoln Projects predator. Ryan,

1:07:45.720 --> 1:07:50.520
<v Speaker 1>good to talk to you, Thank you so much. You're

1:07:50.600 --> 1:07:54.240
<v Speaker 1>in the Freedom mud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

1:07:57.920 --> 1:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>We should be focused on bringing the nation together. Instead,

1:08:00.440 --> 1:08:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Democrats are going to impeach the president for a second

1:08:03.240 --> 1:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>time one week, one week before he leaves office. Why

1:08:07.960 --> 1:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Why politics and the fact that they want to they

1:08:12.120 --> 1:08:15.360
<v Speaker 1>want to cancel the president. The president who cut taxes,

1:08:15.360 --> 1:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the president who reduced regulations. The president prior to COVID

1:08:18.120 --> 1:08:20.680
<v Speaker 1>had the greatest economy, lowest unemployment in fifty years. The

1:08:20.720 --> 1:08:22.519
<v Speaker 1>president who got us out of the Iran deal, put

1:08:22.560 --> 1:08:25.439
<v Speaker 1>the embassy in Jerusalem, rod hostage is home for North Korea,

1:08:26.000 --> 1:08:28.320
<v Speaker 1>put three great justices on the Supreme Court, gave us

1:08:28.320 --> 1:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>a new NAPTA agreement, the Abraham Accords, the COVID vaccine,

1:08:31.320 --> 1:08:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and who built the wall. It's about politics. This is

1:08:35.040 --> 1:08:37.880
<v Speaker 1>about getting the president of the United States. They spied

1:08:37.920 --> 1:08:40.760
<v Speaker 1>on his campaign before he was elected. Nineteen minutes into

1:08:40.840 --> 1:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>his presidency, they started the impeachment push. Three year Muller investigation,

1:08:44.760 --> 1:08:49.720
<v Speaker 1>nineteen lawyers, forty agents, five hundred witnesses, twenty five hundred subpoenas,

1:08:50.080 --> 1:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>forty million dollars to find nothing. Impeachment Round one based

1:08:53.920 --> 1:08:56.519
<v Speaker 1>on an anonymous whistle blower with no firsthand knowledge, who

1:08:56.560 --> 1:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>was biased against the president and who worked for Joe Biden,

1:08:59.120 --> 1:09:02.320
<v Speaker 1>and now it's impeach a round two. It is Indeed,

1:09:03.400 --> 1:09:05.960
<v Speaker 1>it has always been about getting this president, has always

1:09:06.000 --> 1:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>been about destroying Donald Trump, his presidency, his political movement, everything.

1:09:15.160 --> 1:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>And that's why it's so hard for many people now

1:09:17.479 --> 1:09:19.320
<v Speaker 1>to see this as anything other than the last ditch

1:09:19.400 --> 1:09:23.519
<v Speaker 1>effort to it. It wasn't enough to win the election.

1:09:23.640 --> 1:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>They have to get rid of Trumpism as an idea,

1:09:27.360 --> 1:09:29.439
<v Speaker 1>as I've been saying to you, and that's why there's

1:09:29.479 --> 1:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>such a frenzy right now. On the one hand, they're

1:09:31.840 --> 1:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>telling us about unity, and on the other hand, they

1:09:36.640 --> 1:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>continue with this this push to divide us and to

1:09:41.880 --> 1:09:47.560
<v Speaker 1>say that Trump supporters are bad people, that Trump supporters

1:09:48.240 --> 1:09:52.439
<v Speaker 1>are on the wrong side of history because they voted

1:09:52.600 --> 1:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>for Donald Trump. That's what they're telling us, and that

1:09:55.240 --> 1:09:59.719
<v Speaker 1>what they really want to see is a big breakup

1:10:00.120 --> 1:10:06.200
<v Speaker 1>in the Republican Party. They want a GOP, a GOP

1:10:06.400 --> 1:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>that's at war with itself. Tom Friedman of the New

1:10:10.120 --> 1:10:13.479
<v Speaker 1>York Times people still read this guy apparently play eighteen.

1:10:14.040 --> 1:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I believe that the most important thing that can happen

1:10:17.120 --> 1:10:19.519
<v Speaker 1>right now for the health of the country is that

1:10:19.800 --> 1:10:24.200
<v Speaker 1>this rotten Republican party fracture, and that this is a

1:10:24.439 --> 1:10:29.120
<v Speaker 1>party that is now marinated in and dominated by conspiracy theorists.

1:10:29.640 --> 1:10:33.759
<v Speaker 1>It's been able to hold together basically under Trump because

1:10:33.840 --> 1:10:36.040
<v Speaker 1>it had power. So, because it had the control of

1:10:36.120 --> 1:10:39.639
<v Speaker 1>the Senate and control of the White House, Republicans could

1:10:39.720 --> 1:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>tell themselves this lie. I wouldn't let Trump babysit my

1:10:44.280 --> 1:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>kids or coach my kids little league team. But I

1:10:46.680 --> 1:10:48.960
<v Speaker 1>love what he did on taxes, or what he did

1:10:49.040 --> 1:10:53.960
<v Speaker 1>for Israel, or what he did for any number of issues.

1:10:54.320 --> 1:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't have that power anymore. The Senate a Republicans

1:10:57.160 --> 1:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>don't have that power anymore. So I think this part

1:11:00.200 --> 1:11:03.280
<v Speaker 1>is right for fracture. I can't think of anything more

1:11:03.320 --> 1:11:06.800
<v Speaker 1>important right now, Brian, than that this party fracture between

1:11:06.840 --> 1:11:10.680
<v Speaker 1>what I call principal Republicans, people like mc romney, Lisa Murkowski,

1:11:11.080 --> 1:11:15.559
<v Speaker 1>and the unprincipled ones, because this is now Trump's party,

1:11:15.880 --> 1:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>and as long as it is Trump's party, it must

1:11:19.280 --> 1:11:23.360
<v Speaker 1>be kept out of power. They're telling you what they're

1:11:23.400 --> 1:11:26.920
<v Speaker 1>hoping for here, and they view this as essential. They

1:11:27.040 --> 1:11:32.439
<v Speaker 1>want a weekend and almost annihilated GOP right now, and

1:11:32.560 --> 1:11:35.639
<v Speaker 1>they think they can get it. And a suppressed GOP

1:11:36.400 --> 1:11:40.439
<v Speaker 1>that is just steamrolled by the Biden Harris agenda, and

1:11:40.600 --> 1:11:43.600
<v Speaker 1>they can get that too. This is not pie in

1:11:43.640 --> 1:11:47.439
<v Speaker 1>the sky stuff they This is achievable for them, This

1:11:47.680 --> 1:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>is realistic for them. And that's why we have to

1:11:51.920 --> 1:11:54.960
<v Speaker 1>take take stock of what the political calculations are here

1:11:55.600 --> 1:11:58.880
<v Speaker 1>in trying to pull Republicans apart, why they want to

1:11:58.960 --> 1:12:02.920
<v Speaker 1>do that so very badly. Thanks for listening to The

1:12:12.040 --> 1:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>country is divided. We all know that there are lies

1:12:15.200 --> 1:12:18.200
<v Speaker 1>abroad in the land, spread by a desperate president who

1:12:18.280 --> 1:12:23.080
<v Speaker 1>feels his power slipping away. We know that too. But

1:12:23.240 --> 1:12:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I know this as well, that we here in this

1:12:26.080 --> 1:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>half have a sacred obligation to stand for truth, to

1:12:30.360 --> 1:12:34.640
<v Speaker 1>stand up for the Constitution, to stand as guardians of

1:12:34.720 --> 1:12:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the republic. Yeah, that's what Nancy Pelosi is, a guardian

1:12:39.040 --> 1:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>of the republic. Sure, sure, and all about the truth

1:12:43.080 --> 1:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>as well. Just ask her if she stood in the

1:12:47.160 --> 1:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>way of Americans getting checks to help them out during

1:12:50.800 --> 1:12:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic, because, as we know, the government shut down

1:12:54.280 --> 1:12:57.639
<v Speaker 1>people's businesses and shut down whole sectors of the economy.

1:12:58.240 --> 1:12:59.960
<v Speaker 1>How good of an idea was that, By the way,

1:13:00.560 --> 1:13:02.639
<v Speaker 1>just taking a little digression here, was that a smart

1:13:02.680 --> 1:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>thing to do to shut down so much? Did that

1:13:05.800 --> 1:13:08.599
<v Speaker 1>really help us? You know, you have countries all over

1:13:08.680 --> 1:13:10.919
<v Speaker 1>Europe now that are going into even more extreme shutdowns.

1:13:10.960 --> 1:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>In Italy is having finally a mass restaurant civil disobedience moment.

1:13:17.040 --> 1:13:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm seeing this online where thousands of Italian restaurants are

1:13:20.400 --> 1:13:23.920
<v Speaker 1>going to say, enough is enough. We're opening for business breakfast, lunch,

1:13:23.960 --> 1:13:26.799
<v Speaker 1>and dinner. This is crazy. We're not doing this anymore.

1:13:28.320 --> 1:13:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Switzerland is going into a greater degree of restriction, but

1:13:32.760 --> 1:13:35.080
<v Speaker 1>they've tried to stay mostly open. I mean, all these

1:13:35.120 --> 1:13:39.960
<v Speaker 1>countries having terrible issues with COVID nineteen, and remember when

1:13:40.000 --> 1:13:42.639
<v Speaker 1>we were told that they had the answers. That's one

1:13:42.680 --> 1:13:47.479
<v Speaker 1>reason why I'm so angry about all of this. Pelosi

1:13:47.640 --> 1:13:49.760
<v Speaker 1>was one of the people saying this. But they made

1:13:49.760 --> 1:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>it seem all summer like if we just wore our

1:13:52.200 --> 1:13:55.160
<v Speaker 1>masks and we did what the authorities told us, we'd

1:13:55.200 --> 1:13:57.479
<v Speaker 1>all be okay. We wouldn't have this huge second wave.

1:13:57.600 --> 1:14:01.280
<v Speaker 1>That was a lie that wasn't true. We all see it.

1:14:02.160 --> 1:14:05.280
<v Speaker 1>They can tell us a million different ways, Oh we

1:14:05.360 --> 1:14:07.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't you didn't do it the right way, or we

1:14:07.400 --> 1:14:09.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't do it enough, or whatever. That's not what we

1:14:09.640 --> 1:14:13.240
<v Speaker 1>were told. It was. Listen to us, do what we say.

1:14:13.320 --> 1:14:16.639
<v Speaker 1>Now everything will be okay. That's clearly not what happened,

1:14:17.720 --> 1:14:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and I'm really angry about it. I'll tell you I

1:14:19.880 --> 1:14:23.439
<v Speaker 1>went last night to uh, I went last night to

1:14:23.600 --> 1:14:26.000
<v Speaker 1>try to have a dinner with the with the with

1:14:26.240 --> 1:14:30.040
<v Speaker 1>my girlfriend, who whose name is Deborah. I feel like

1:14:30.080 --> 1:14:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I should not just refer to as the snow princess

1:14:32.120 --> 1:14:34.800
<v Speaker 1>all the time. And we went to go to a

1:14:34.920 --> 1:14:39.120
<v Speaker 1>restaurant here in the city and I got there before

1:14:39.240 --> 1:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>she did. And I walk in and I'm thinking, you know,

1:14:42.320 --> 1:14:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm a good guy, because well I was just hungry.

1:14:44.880 --> 1:14:46.759
<v Speaker 1>I I'm not some hero. But you know, I'm thinking, okay,

1:14:46.960 --> 1:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to support local restaurants and you know, keep

1:14:49.240 --> 1:14:51.200
<v Speaker 1>them going. And I could just order in, but I'm

1:14:51.200 --> 1:14:53.080
<v Speaker 1>actually gonna go and pay us or you know, pay

1:14:53.800 --> 1:14:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving bigger tips than I ever had to anyone

1:14:56.040 --> 1:14:58.519
<v Speaker 1>who is a server at a place these days that

1:14:58.560 --> 1:15:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I could eat. And this was an outside but kind

1:15:01.200 --> 1:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>of inside but really outside restaurant. And I show up

1:15:04.160 --> 1:15:06.519
<v Speaker 1>and the guy just looks at me, who's the running

1:15:06.520 --> 1:15:08.800
<v Speaker 1>the plays with a manager, And he's got his mask on,

1:15:08.880 --> 1:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and I've got my mask on and and it's and

1:15:12.360 --> 1:15:17.160
<v Speaker 1>and he says, uh, we're not seating anymore. I said, okay,

1:15:17.520 --> 1:15:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's it's you're you guys say you're you

1:15:22.320 --> 1:15:25.639
<v Speaker 1>close uh your or rather, you stopped seating at nine.

1:15:25.760 --> 1:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>He goes, no, we stopped seating at eight thirty, as

1:15:27.960 --> 1:15:30.280
<v Speaker 1>of like you know now. And I look at my

1:15:30.600 --> 1:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I look at my uh my clock on my phone.

1:15:33.200 --> 1:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>It's it's eight thirty one. So I'm like, okay, so

1:15:36.880 --> 1:15:40.960
<v Speaker 1>you guys, your your website says you stopped seating at nine.

1:15:41.680 --> 1:15:44.160
<v Speaker 1>You're say you stopped seating at eight thirty. I'm clearly here,

1:15:44.200 --> 1:15:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I've clearly showed up, gone through the trouble of dressing

1:15:47.320 --> 1:15:49.320
<v Speaker 1>warmly enough that I could eat at your restaurant. It's

1:15:49.360 --> 1:15:52.200
<v Speaker 1>eight thirty one. I'm literally a minute, and you know,

1:15:52.320 --> 1:15:54.719
<v Speaker 1>and then I just realized, you know what, also fine

1:15:54.760 --> 1:15:56.559
<v Speaker 1>the guy was being, but he's probably had a bad

1:15:56.640 --> 1:16:01.120
<v Speaker 1>day his restaurants. But I recognize I had a I

1:16:01.280 --> 1:16:02.920
<v Speaker 1>had to sort of suppress it. Right away. I had

1:16:02.960 --> 1:16:06.200
<v Speaker 1>a really a short fuse that was going off inside me.

1:16:06.280 --> 1:16:08.040
<v Speaker 1>That usually isn't the case. I'm usually not somebody that

1:16:08.120 --> 1:16:10.439
<v Speaker 1>gets I didn't get into the guy said oh okay,

1:16:10.479 --> 1:16:12.120
<v Speaker 1>well that's a shame, and I just walked away. I didn't.

1:16:12.160 --> 1:16:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't make any problems or anything, but it was

1:16:14.720 --> 1:16:18.000
<v Speaker 1>a reminder to me of we're all really sick of

1:16:18.080 --> 1:16:21.800
<v Speaker 1>this nonsense. You know, we've all we're all losing patience

1:16:21.920 --> 1:16:24.360
<v Speaker 1>with this and if we're not, we should be. Now

1:16:24.400 --> 1:16:25.960
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't mean we take it out on people who

1:16:26.000 --> 1:16:28.240
<v Speaker 1>are also struggling and try to get through their business.

1:16:28.280 --> 1:16:30.360
<v Speaker 1>And to be clear, I didn't, but I could feel

1:16:31.200 --> 1:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>that this stress of this lockdown insanity is it's wearing

1:16:37.439 --> 1:16:40.640
<v Speaker 1>on me now, even too, because usually a situation like that,

1:16:40.960 --> 1:16:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like, oh, you know, okay, fine, you know,

1:16:42.880 --> 1:16:45.519
<v Speaker 1>it's New York. There's plenty of places to go. But

1:16:45.840 --> 1:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>my first thought of my brain was was to get

1:16:50.000 --> 1:16:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I got very I got very annoyed about it. It

1:16:52.880 --> 1:16:54.439
<v Speaker 1>was a minor thing we had that having a great

1:16:54.479 --> 1:16:57.040
<v Speaker 1>dinner at taifou went to another. I found another place

1:16:57.080 --> 1:17:00.519
<v Speaker 1>that would deliver and it was fine, But I can

1:17:00.760 --> 1:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm impatient in a way, and I have a

1:17:05.040 --> 1:17:08.439
<v Speaker 1>shorter temper than I than I know I know myself,

1:17:08.520 --> 1:17:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not a short tempered person. And I was

1:17:11.360 --> 1:17:14.639
<v Speaker 1>just on the edge of you know, really, it's sixty

1:17:14.680 --> 1:17:16.880
<v Speaker 1>seconds late, why don't you go, you know, sixty seconds late,

1:17:16.920 --> 1:17:18.840
<v Speaker 1>you don't want my money? Why don't you go blank yourself?

1:17:19.120 --> 1:17:22.559
<v Speaker 1>And I'm saying, and that would have been wrong. I wouldn't.

1:17:22.720 --> 1:17:25.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm not claiming that that's the right reaction there. Although

1:17:25.479 --> 1:17:27.719
<v Speaker 1>the guy was being a little you know, but he's

1:17:27.800 --> 1:17:30.439
<v Speaker 1>under pressure. I'm under pressure, that's the point. I'm trumaic

1:17:30.760 --> 1:17:33.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to make. He's feeling the heat of keeping this

1:17:33.479 --> 1:17:35.599
<v Speaker 1>business going. And they didn't, you know, they only had

1:17:35.600 --> 1:17:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a few people eating there, and clearly they wanted more

1:17:38.040 --> 1:17:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and and you know, and I'm trying to do my

1:17:40.320 --> 1:17:42.720
<v Speaker 1>part for the for my own community by going to

1:17:42.800 --> 1:17:45.439
<v Speaker 1>these businesses, even though I freeze my butt off when

1:17:45.439 --> 1:17:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting outside eating, but I'm trying to, you know,

1:17:48.280 --> 1:17:52.120
<v Speaker 1>And we're all frustrated. As the point, we're all feeling it.

1:17:53.520 --> 1:17:55.800
<v Speaker 1>And I had to take a step back and recognize

1:17:55.880 --> 1:17:59.720
<v Speaker 1>that that it's affecting me even now too. Here we

1:17:59.800 --> 1:18:02.680
<v Speaker 1>are a middle of January, and it just feels like,

1:18:03.520 --> 1:18:05.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, it feels like there is no end in sight.

1:18:05.840 --> 1:18:09.599
<v Speaker 1>I know, there's the Johnson and Johnson vaccine that's coming

1:18:09.640 --> 1:18:12.880
<v Speaker 1>out today or sorry, that's coming out. The news story

1:18:13.000 --> 1:18:15.320
<v Speaker 1>pardon me, came out today that the Johnson Johnson vaccine

1:18:15.360 --> 1:18:17.840
<v Speaker 1>is looking good and that's a one dose vaccine which

1:18:17.840 --> 1:18:20.760
<v Speaker 1>will be really a really big advantage. And it also

1:18:20.800 --> 1:18:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I think can be stored at like forty degrees instead

1:18:23.080 --> 1:18:26.440
<v Speaker 1>of the crazy low temperature that the other the moderna

1:18:26.479 --> 1:18:30.200
<v Speaker 1>of vaccine and the fiser vaccines have to be stored at. So,

1:18:30.840 --> 1:18:35.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just I was reminded in my own

1:18:35.160 --> 1:18:38.880
<v Speaker 1>way of all we've gone through and the tension in

1:18:38.960 --> 1:18:41.479
<v Speaker 1>this moment in the country. We're thinking about it so

1:18:41.640 --> 1:18:44.519
<v Speaker 1>much in political terms, and that's certainly a big part

1:18:44.560 --> 1:18:47.680
<v Speaker 1>of it right now, but there's also just this backdrop

1:18:47.800 --> 1:18:52.480
<v Speaker 1>of we have not had normal human contact, normal human interaction,

1:18:53.040 --> 1:18:56.439
<v Speaker 1>the back and forth that we rely on in our

1:18:56.520 --> 1:18:58.400
<v Speaker 1>day to day. I mean, it's so much easier not

1:18:58.560 --> 1:19:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to get all wrapped up in politics and unhealthy ways

1:19:03.560 --> 1:19:05.760
<v Speaker 1>when you go out and you can see you know,

1:19:06.400 --> 1:19:09.000
<v Speaker 1>family members for a great meal. It's at some place

1:19:09.080 --> 1:19:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you want to go, you know, where you go out

1:19:11.160 --> 1:19:13.640
<v Speaker 1>and you grab drinks with your buddies or with the

1:19:13.720 --> 1:19:16.880
<v Speaker 1>ladies or whatever, you know, after work or just because

1:19:16.960 --> 1:19:21.080
<v Speaker 1>you feel like it or whatever that really helps, you know,

1:19:21.320 --> 1:19:24.240
<v Speaker 1>going to birthday parties, going to weddings, going to this.

1:19:24.439 --> 1:19:27.600
<v Speaker 1>This keeps us all sane. It really does keeps us

1:19:27.600 --> 1:19:29.880
<v Speaker 1>all saying. I mean, producer, I haven't I haven't seen

1:19:30.600 --> 1:19:34.040
<v Speaker 1>my buddy here, my Radio Wingman producer Mark. I haven't

1:19:34.040 --> 1:19:38.439
<v Speaker 1>seen Radio Wingman Mark in It's gonna be almost a

1:19:38.560 --> 1:19:41.160
<v Speaker 1>year now, right, I mean, I haven't seen you in person.

1:19:41.240 --> 1:19:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I think since is it February? It might be end

1:19:44.280 --> 1:19:47.519
<v Speaker 1>of February, maybe very beginning in March. Yea. So so

1:19:47.640 --> 1:19:49.720
<v Speaker 1>somebody that I'm talking to, and Mark and I are

1:19:49.760 --> 1:19:53.400
<v Speaker 1>working together, you know, every day for hours, hours on end,

1:19:53.920 --> 1:19:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and really just the two of us pulling together this show.

1:19:56.720 --> 1:19:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I haven't even been able to see the guy in

1:19:58.479 --> 1:20:03.120
<v Speaker 1>person in must a year. This is crazy. I mean,

1:20:03.120 --> 1:20:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I remember when this first happened to us and the

1:20:05.439 --> 1:20:08.559
<v Speaker 1>restaurants we're getting shut down. I thought I was being

1:20:08.640 --> 1:20:10.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe a little too cautious. I figured, all right, you know,

1:20:11.200 --> 1:20:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Mark and I'll be having Marguerite Is and Guac at

1:20:13.960 --> 1:20:18.080
<v Speaker 1>a sidewalk cafe in New York by June or July. Nope,

1:20:18.800 --> 1:20:20.800
<v Speaker 1>here we are now. They did open some things. I'm

1:20:20.800 --> 1:20:22.439
<v Speaker 1>not saying that wouldn't have been possible, but I thought

1:20:22.479 --> 1:20:25.559
<v Speaker 1>we'd be pretty much through the worst of it. When

1:20:25.600 --> 1:20:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking about this in February and the initial lockdown,

1:20:29.000 --> 1:20:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I thought, all right, maybe six months of this of

1:20:30.880 --> 1:20:33.560
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be what we're dealing with. But no,

1:20:33.680 --> 1:20:36.320
<v Speaker 1>now we're going on a year, and I'm just trying

1:20:36.320 --> 1:20:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to tell you, I think that everybody, you all need

1:20:39.000 --> 1:20:40.720
<v Speaker 1>to give yourself a break. You know, you all just

1:20:40.800 --> 1:20:43.160
<v Speaker 1>think about how this is affecting you, even if you're

1:20:43.320 --> 1:20:46.040
<v Speaker 1>in parts of the country that have been more open,

1:20:46.120 --> 1:20:47.519
<v Speaker 1>even if you're in parts of the country that are

1:20:47.640 --> 1:20:53.920
<v Speaker 1>less affected by this. Overall, let's all keep in mind

1:20:54.960 --> 1:20:59.360
<v Speaker 1>that you're you're still feeling the stress or seeing the

1:20:59.439 --> 1:21:02.240
<v Speaker 1>stress that other areas that are in most of your

1:21:02.320 --> 1:21:06.160
<v Speaker 1>lockdowns are going through. And and you know that America

1:21:06.200 --> 1:21:07.599
<v Speaker 1>is in a bad spot. And of course a lot

1:21:07.640 --> 1:21:10.599
<v Speaker 1>of the economic stuff, the impacts of that are felt

1:21:10.640 --> 1:21:15.679
<v Speaker 1>by everybody, are felt by everybody right now. So it's

1:21:15.800 --> 1:21:17.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a tough time. I mean, it's this is not

1:21:17.840 --> 1:21:22.120
<v Speaker 1>an easy period. So give yourself a break. Make sure

1:21:22.160 --> 1:21:24.320
<v Speaker 1>that you're doing things that allow your mind to relax.

1:21:24.439 --> 1:21:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you're doing things that let you reset that

1:21:27.840 --> 1:21:29.599
<v Speaker 1>part of you that might get a little bit too

1:21:30.600 --> 1:21:35.200
<v Speaker 1>overwhelmed or run down, or that's really necessary right now

1:21:35.479 --> 1:21:39.840
<v Speaker 1>because the usual stuff is just not happening. I mean,

1:21:39.880 --> 1:21:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the usual stuff out there is has been taken away

1:21:43.840 --> 1:21:46.479
<v Speaker 1>from all of us, and if you're like me, it's

1:21:46.479 --> 1:21:48.360
<v Speaker 1>starting to fray. It's starting to phray some of your

1:21:48.400 --> 1:21:52.040
<v Speaker 1>nerves a little bit. You're starting to get starting to

1:21:52.120 --> 1:21:55.559
<v Speaker 1>get really frustrated in ways that you're not even aware

1:21:55.560 --> 1:21:57.040
<v Speaker 1>of until it starts to come out a little bit,

1:21:57.080 --> 1:21:59.439
<v Speaker 1>you say to yourself, Wait a second, what what the

1:21:59.520 --> 1:22:03.679
<v Speaker 1>heck is at? You know, I'm I'm usually very even tempered,

1:22:03.720 --> 1:22:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like I haven't lost my temper recently,

1:22:07.200 --> 1:22:10.000
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like it's closer to happening than it

1:22:10.080 --> 1:22:12.240
<v Speaker 1>normally would be for much more minor things. And it's

1:22:12.240 --> 1:22:14.840
<v Speaker 1>just because I'm sick of wearing my damn mask. I'm

1:22:14.880 --> 1:22:16.720
<v Speaker 1>sick of not being able to see people. I'm sick

1:22:16.760 --> 1:22:18.920
<v Speaker 1>of my family members being worried about their health and

1:22:19.000 --> 1:22:21.519
<v Speaker 1>the lockdowns and all this stuff. And then on top

1:22:21.600 --> 1:22:26.280
<v Speaker 1>of that you have Republicans are all terrorists, and you

1:22:26.320 --> 1:22:29.080
<v Speaker 1>know Trump is hitler, and you know the government could

1:22:29.120 --> 1:22:32.400
<v Speaker 1>fall at any moment because the right wing is about

1:22:32.439 --> 1:22:38.160
<v Speaker 1>to have another violent insurrection. All this overheated, unfair, really

1:22:38.320 --> 1:22:41.200
<v Speaker 1>damaging rhetoric out there, and it's a challenge. It's a

1:22:41.280 --> 1:22:43.680
<v Speaker 1>challenging time in a lot of ways. And I think

1:22:43.720 --> 1:22:46.760
<v Speaker 1>we're allowed to take a moment, take a pause to say, yeah,

1:22:46.840 --> 1:22:50.240
<v Speaker 1>that's that's real. And I'm actually planning going out tonight

1:22:50.760 --> 1:22:54.160
<v Speaker 1>to outdoor dining in New York and and I'm gonna

1:22:54.200 --> 1:22:57.639
<v Speaker 1>have to get all dressed up, and you essentially it's

1:22:58.040 --> 1:23:01.280
<v Speaker 1>producer Mark. Have you ever been to a at old

1:23:01.360 --> 1:23:03.560
<v Speaker 1>school Giants foot I don't know if the stadium is

1:23:03.560 --> 1:23:06.559
<v Speaker 1>better now, but I remember going to Giants Stadium when

1:23:06.600 --> 1:23:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid in like winter, like December, right.

1:23:11.360 --> 1:23:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I remember going to Giant Stadium going and I I

1:23:15.080 --> 1:23:18.080
<v Speaker 1>was so cold and we were wearing I wore so

1:23:18.240 --> 1:23:20.920
<v Speaker 1>much clothing that it was difficult to move. But you

1:23:21.040 --> 1:23:24.360
<v Speaker 1>sat in these unheated seats out in the open air,

1:23:24.880 --> 1:23:27.280
<v Speaker 1>and you sit there for three hours. We had a

1:23:27.360 --> 1:23:30.320
<v Speaker 1>blanket on us, and I still remember freezing my butt off.

1:23:30.840 --> 1:23:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you you've ever done that? I have not, but

1:23:32.760 --> 1:23:35.240
<v Speaker 1>I have done it at City Field or Scha Stadium

1:23:35.360 --> 1:23:38.720
<v Speaker 1>any April or September game because it's right on the bay,

1:23:38.800 --> 1:23:40.439
<v Speaker 1>just like the meadow Lands, it's right on the water.

1:23:40.800 --> 1:23:43.479
<v Speaker 1>You get the winds and it's freezing. I'll I say

1:23:43.520 --> 1:23:46.439
<v Speaker 1>to myself over and over again, never ever going to

1:23:46.520 --> 1:23:48.680
<v Speaker 1>another April Mets game, and yet I still end up

1:23:48.680 --> 1:23:50.439
<v Speaker 1>there every year. I mean, I've done it. I've done

1:23:50.439 --> 1:23:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a few times. I remember going. I think it was

1:23:52.360 --> 1:23:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a West Point Army Navy football game when I was

1:23:56.240 --> 1:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>a kid, and I'm pretty sure I went to that

1:23:59.080 --> 1:24:01.760
<v Speaker 1>unless I'm unless getting I'm talking about being eight or

1:24:01.840 --> 1:24:04.400
<v Speaker 1>nine years old. But I just remember being freezing at

1:24:04.479 --> 1:24:06.880
<v Speaker 1>these games. And yeah, the wind coming in in the

1:24:06.960 --> 1:24:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Metal Lands is like nothing else. Don't they have Aren't

1:24:09.600 --> 1:24:12.799
<v Speaker 1>they kind of bougie? Now? Aren't there some some stadiums

1:24:12.840 --> 1:24:15.160
<v Speaker 1>that kind of have either heated seats or at least

1:24:15.160 --> 1:24:17.840
<v Speaker 1>they're padded seats because I was sitting on you know,

1:24:17.960 --> 1:24:21.920
<v Speaker 1>like the plastic bleacher fold down seats that we all know. No,

1:24:22.080 --> 1:24:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the new stadium they built is just a monstrosity. It's awful.

1:24:26.640 --> 1:24:28.360
<v Speaker 1>And they didn't put a roof on, which is probably

1:24:28.400 --> 1:24:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the dumbest thing. Is that just a cost thing? I mean,

1:24:31.880 --> 1:24:34.600
<v Speaker 1>why would they know the cost thing? Yeah, because like

1:24:34.680 --> 1:24:37.719
<v Speaker 1>the Mets and Yankees both wanted retractable roofs. New York City,

1:24:37.760 --> 1:24:40.200
<v Speaker 1>New York State would not pay for it. MetLife. I

1:24:40.280 --> 1:24:43.000
<v Speaker 1>think a similar kind of thing in New Jersey where

1:24:43.000 --> 1:24:45.360
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't pay the extra money to get the retractable roof.

1:24:46.360 --> 1:24:49.479
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, that's that's nuts, because yeah, they're I

1:24:49.520 --> 1:24:51.639
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I've ever been so cold as being

1:24:51.680 --> 1:24:54.280
<v Speaker 1>a kid sitting in the stands at Giants Stadium watching

1:24:54.320 --> 1:24:58.000
<v Speaker 1>an NFL game, and and I even think I was

1:24:58.080 --> 1:25:02.680
<v Speaker 1>wearing like uh, like no pets. It was still the coldest,

1:25:03.080 --> 1:25:05.240
<v Speaker 1>still the coldest I think I've ever been in my life.

1:25:05.840 --> 1:25:08.800
<v Speaker 1>You've been to more NFL games than I have. I

1:25:09.160 --> 1:25:12.560
<v Speaker 1>might mights and my dad. I've got two brothers and

1:25:12.640 --> 1:25:15.760
<v Speaker 1>a dad, and they're like normal, They're normal American. They're

1:25:15.840 --> 1:25:19.599
<v Speaker 1>normal red blooded Americans who like professional sports and uh

1:25:20.080 --> 1:25:22.720
<v Speaker 1>and driving fast cars and things like that. I'm the

1:25:22.800 --> 1:25:25.439
<v Speaker 1>one that's you know, I don't know, I don't really

1:25:25.520 --> 1:25:28.240
<v Speaker 1>care yeah, I'm the weird one. But my my two brothers,

1:25:28.320 --> 1:25:32.240
<v Speaker 1>my I've my brothers win their fantasy football leagues in

1:25:32.320 --> 1:25:34.560
<v Speaker 1>many years, and there's real money. There's like ten or

1:25:34.600 --> 1:25:36.360
<v Speaker 1>fifteen grand on the line for the winner. I mean

1:25:36.400 --> 1:25:39.760
<v Speaker 1>there's actual money involved here. Uh so they do very

1:25:39.800 --> 1:25:45.000
<v Speaker 1>well with that. Yeah, I mean that's not obviously the

1:25:45.080 --> 1:25:46.880
<v Speaker 1>buying fee, but that if you win the whole thing.

1:25:46.960 --> 1:25:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I think I think one of my brothers got something

1:25:49.000 --> 1:25:52.000
<v Speaker 1>like that one year, So they're really into all that stuff. Anyway,

1:25:52.120 --> 1:25:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be freezing tonight, but I'll be with my

1:25:54.680 --> 1:25:58.160
<v Speaker 1>little sister who has a brand new little baby. I

1:25:58.200 --> 1:26:02.519
<v Speaker 1>don't know our baby's brand new, but sounds like a

1:26:02.560 --> 1:26:04.920
<v Speaker 1>p yes, newborn, thank you. Brand new. Sounds like a

1:26:05.000 --> 1:26:07.920
<v Speaker 1>product I'm selling, brand new, fresh off the shelf. Baby.

1:26:08.360 --> 1:26:11.720
<v Speaker 1>That's my little nephew. But but I'm gonna be out it.

1:26:11.760 --> 1:26:13.880
<v Speaker 1>We're going to a beast a night and we're just

1:26:13.920 --> 1:26:16.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna be huddling. You know, they have these outdoor lamps,

1:26:17.160 --> 1:26:20.360
<v Speaker 1>and that's great if you're in like Charleston, South Carolina.

1:26:20.400 --> 1:26:22.639
<v Speaker 1>You know these heat lamps they have outside and it's

1:26:23.120 --> 1:26:24.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, sixty degrees at night and you want a

1:26:24.960 --> 1:26:28.400
<v Speaker 1>little extra toasty warmth near you. Uh, you know, it's

1:26:28.439 --> 1:26:31.680
<v Speaker 1>like being at a fire pit in Dallas, Texas or

1:26:31.760 --> 1:26:35.360
<v Speaker 1>something in you know, during a fifty five or sixty

1:26:35.439 --> 1:26:39.040
<v Speaker 1>degree day, when it's thirty or twenty five degrees outside

1:26:39.160 --> 1:26:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that heat lamp. It just keeps you alive. It doesn't

1:26:42.040 --> 1:26:45.160
<v Speaker 1>make you comfortable. It just keeps you from actually having

1:26:45.640 --> 1:26:49.120
<v Speaker 1>icicles form over your eyelids. But I'm going for it tonight,

1:26:49.160 --> 1:26:52.200
<v Speaker 1>producer Mark. So, let's let's hope that I'm let's hope

1:26:52.200 --> 1:26:55.519
<v Speaker 1>that I don't actually, you know, get frostbite. That will

1:26:55.520 --> 1:26:58.040
<v Speaker 1>be good. Luck with that. I will be home and warm. Yeah,

1:26:58.160 --> 1:27:03.040
<v Speaker 1>stay home and warm. You're in the Freedom Heart. This

1:27:03.360 --> 1:27:09.920
<v Speaker 1>is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. I got diverted

1:27:10.160 --> 1:27:15.000
<v Speaker 1>from talking about Nancy Pelosi. She's she's projecting herself as

1:27:15.080 --> 1:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>some great defender democracy, arbiter of truth, standing for the

1:27:19.040 --> 1:27:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Republic and all this. I mean, Nancy Pelosi is a

1:27:21.640 --> 1:27:24.160
<v Speaker 1>is a ruthless politician. You know that if you ask

1:27:24.200 --> 1:27:28.200
<v Speaker 1>her what are her principles, this very rich, almost eighty

1:27:28.280 --> 1:27:31.560
<v Speaker 1>year old woman from San Francisco, what what does she

1:27:31.680 --> 1:27:36.360
<v Speaker 1>really care about? She would say things like I care

1:27:36.400 --> 1:27:43.040
<v Speaker 1>about it wibbits liberated abb it's right to choose, and

1:27:44.240 --> 1:27:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Beto elevating the people and the children. And you know,

1:27:48.880 --> 1:27:53.240
<v Speaker 1>she would say stuff like that, and you would say, yeah,

1:27:53.280 --> 1:27:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean that that those are the slogans, but she

1:27:56.000 --> 1:27:58.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really care. No one actually thinks she really cares

1:27:58.240 --> 1:27:59.880
<v Speaker 1>about any of that, right, No, no one really believes.

1:28:00.880 --> 1:28:04.519
<v Speaker 1>And then you get to a step beyond that, where

1:28:05.160 --> 1:28:07.559
<v Speaker 1>what has she said in the past. Right now, we're

1:28:07.640 --> 1:28:11.280
<v Speaker 1>in this great moment of moral panic over what Trump

1:28:11.479 --> 1:28:15.120
<v Speaker 1>said about, you know, in the moments before that Capitol

1:28:15.200 --> 1:28:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Hill riot. But do Democrats always make sure that they're

1:28:21.680 --> 1:28:24.599
<v Speaker 1>opposed to political violence? Is that something they do? Here's

1:28:24.640 --> 1:28:31.519
<v Speaker 1>Pelosi talking about uprisings across the country. This was in

1:28:31.640 --> 1:28:34.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen, so it's not reached a couple of years ago.

1:28:34.600 --> 1:28:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Polay clip one. I just don't even know why there

1:28:37.680 --> 1:28:40.240
<v Speaker 1>aren't uprisings all of the country. Maybe there will be.

1:28:42.760 --> 1:28:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Why would there be uprisings, Nancy Pelosi? Oh, because Donald

1:28:45.920 --> 1:28:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Trump is president. You're not getting what you want. I mean,

1:28:48.800 --> 1:28:54.360
<v Speaker 1>uprising is a very specific thing to say. She didn't say,

1:28:54.360 --> 1:28:56.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why there aren't more people, you know,

1:28:56.760 --> 1:28:59.920
<v Speaker 1>organizing get out the vote. Drives or something she said uprising.

1:29:01.120 --> 1:29:05.400
<v Speaker 1>But it's the same thing you see with BLM and

1:29:06.400 --> 1:29:09.519
<v Speaker 1>the way that that the violence and the destruction from

1:29:09.560 --> 1:29:12.840
<v Speaker 1>that is always excused. Here's a member of Congress, Spanburger,

1:29:13.240 --> 1:29:17.640
<v Speaker 1>who's saying that the rights has had this violent, extremist

1:29:17.720 --> 1:29:21.599
<v Speaker 1>ideology take hold. I doubt you's ever said something similar

1:29:21.640 --> 1:29:24.600
<v Speaker 1>about BLM Play seven. The large concern that I have

1:29:24.920 --> 1:29:26.960
<v Speaker 1>is not about a particular date. It's not just about

1:29:27.040 --> 1:29:29.840
<v Speaker 1>January twentieth. It's not just about this upcoming weekend where

1:29:29.880 --> 1:29:34.479
<v Speaker 1>it's expected that there's going to be events, be they

1:29:34.600 --> 1:29:39.840
<v Speaker 1>violent altercations or anything else, at capitals across the country.

1:29:40.000 --> 1:29:42.280
<v Speaker 1>The real issue that I think we need to focus

1:29:42.320 --> 1:29:44.600
<v Speaker 1>on as an American people is that there is a

1:29:45.720 --> 1:29:50.760
<v Speaker 1>violent and extreme ideology that has taken hold, that has

1:29:50.880 --> 1:29:55.719
<v Speaker 1>been given safe harbor, if you will, in the political space,

1:29:56.240 --> 1:29:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and we saw the results of what happens when that

1:29:59.040 --> 1:30:01.640
<v Speaker 1>is able to fest and come to the forefront. We

1:30:01.720 --> 1:30:04.800
<v Speaker 1>saw those results on January sixth. We're certainly preparing for

1:30:04.880 --> 1:30:08.800
<v Speaker 1>those potential results over this weekend and at the inauguration.

1:30:08.920 --> 1:30:11.200
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't end there. Because it's an ideology and

1:30:11.320 --> 1:30:13.920
<v Speaker 1>my background, as you mentioned, I'm a former CIA case

1:30:13.960 --> 1:30:17.240
<v Speaker 1>officer and my background is a focus on on terrorism

1:30:17.680 --> 1:30:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and the domestic violent extremists who took siege and and

1:30:22.840 --> 1:30:27.320
<v Speaker 1>okay me, I'm a former CI analyst and her analysis

1:30:27.360 --> 1:30:30.719
<v Speaker 1>of this as partisan trash. So there you go. Thanks

1:31:33.479 --> 1:31:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's now jump into all this, although I did want

1:31:36.120 --> 1:31:37.920
<v Speaker 1>to check in on our on our buddy producer Mark

1:31:38.000 --> 1:31:40.800
<v Speaker 1>and see if he has any exciting plans for the

1:31:40.880 --> 1:31:43.080
<v Speaker 1>rest of the week or the weekend. Oh yeah, the

1:31:43.479 --> 1:31:46.479
<v Speaker 1>Rangers play the Islanders tonight. So that's the first game

1:31:46.560 --> 1:31:48.840
<v Speaker 1>of the season for the Rangers. I'm very excited. So

1:31:49.960 --> 1:31:53.240
<v Speaker 1>how how does one spot what what is? Now? I'm

1:31:53.280 --> 1:31:55.760
<v Speaker 1>asking you to stereotype. Okay, I'm asking you to give

1:31:55.840 --> 1:31:59.760
<v Speaker 1>me but what is the difference between your prototypical your

1:32:00.040 --> 1:32:06.880
<v Speaker 1>standard Rangers fan and your standard Islanders fan. I had

1:32:06.880 --> 1:32:09.360
<v Speaker 1>a feeling this and I'm not going there. Nope, no, no,

1:32:09.439 --> 1:32:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you're not doing it. You're not doing it all. Come on,

1:32:12.720 --> 1:32:15.599
<v Speaker 1>it's a great setup, but I'm not doing it. Oh man,

1:32:16.360 --> 1:32:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Ranger fans tend to be from the city. Islander fans

1:32:20.160 --> 1:32:22.600
<v Speaker 1>tend to be from Long Island. Oh look at that.

1:32:22.880 --> 1:32:26.479
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, I'll give you that one. Yeah, gee, really

1:32:26.520 --> 1:32:28.760
<v Speaker 1>going on? I'm alledge there. Well, I'm not going to

1:32:28.800 --> 1:32:31.360
<v Speaker 1>anger any listeners. If you're an Islander fan, good for you.

1:32:31.600 --> 1:32:33.479
<v Speaker 1>But I'm a Ranger fan and I think the Rangers

1:32:33.520 --> 1:32:36.040
<v Speaker 1>are a better franchise and their little brother is that better.

1:32:36.479 --> 1:32:39.280
<v Speaker 1>There you go. Look at that. That's very, very very

1:32:39.640 --> 1:32:42.120
<v Speaker 1>You heard a little brother, right, Yeah, I don't know

1:32:42.120 --> 1:32:44.240
<v Speaker 1>how you would give him a noogie. That's kind of

1:32:44.280 --> 1:32:47.040
<v Speaker 1>like the Rangers franchise against the Islanders franchise. I get you.

1:32:47.200 --> 1:32:50.120
<v Speaker 1>What about the New Jersey Devils, they don't exist? Come on,

1:32:50.920 --> 1:32:53.160
<v Speaker 1>are they a real things? They're a real thing, but

1:32:53.280 --> 1:32:56.880
<v Speaker 1>oh nobody cares. They're not good. They've been bad the

1:32:56.960 --> 1:32:59.120
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years. They were very good early two

1:32:59.200 --> 1:33:01.439
<v Speaker 1>thousands they beat the Rangers. Wants to get to the

1:33:01.520 --> 1:33:03.800
<v Speaker 1>finals instead of them in twenty twelve. I try to

1:33:03.800 --> 1:33:06.280
<v Speaker 1>forget about that. But in terms of the New York

1:33:06.360 --> 1:33:09.800
<v Speaker 1>sports landscape, if I'm being honest, there's one team, and

1:33:09.960 --> 1:33:12.800
<v Speaker 1>there's one hockey team in New York. But there is

1:33:12.880 --> 1:33:16.160
<v Speaker 1>that great Sinefeld episode where he's a big Devil's fans,

1:33:16.360 --> 1:33:24.080
<v Speaker 1>David Putty, Yes, El Diablo the priest. That is actually

1:33:24.120 --> 1:33:29.120
<v Speaker 1>a very funny. That's a very memorable Sinefeld episode. All right,

1:33:29.479 --> 1:33:32.040
<v Speaker 1>let's get to what folks thoughts are here in roll

1:33:32.080 --> 1:33:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Call and thank you again all of you for a

1:33:34.240 --> 1:33:38.679
<v Speaker 1>writing Again, we appreciate it. Brad Hey Bucker, producer Mark.

1:33:39.240 --> 1:33:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Last week was a disaster for the conservative movement. I

1:33:42.760 --> 1:33:45.960
<v Speaker 1>agree with you that President Trump handled the post election poorly.

1:33:46.400 --> 1:33:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I agree what happened at the Capitol was one percent wrong.

1:33:49.600 --> 1:33:52.200
<v Speaker 1>But what we conservatives must not lose sight of is

1:33:52.280 --> 1:33:54.720
<v Speaker 1>our man in the swamp, the one who is there

1:33:54.760 --> 1:33:57.320
<v Speaker 1>to drain it but is getting swallowed by the vastness

1:33:57.479 --> 1:33:59.880
<v Speaker 1>of it. Fifty years from now, we'll look back on

1:34:00.000 --> 1:34:03.080
<v Speaker 1>our greatest president we ever had. Right now everyone is

1:34:03.120 --> 1:34:05.200
<v Speaker 1>turning their backs on him. I really hope we can

1:34:05.240 --> 1:34:07.840
<v Speaker 1>all use this time to be to peacefully refocused and

1:34:07.960 --> 1:34:12.120
<v Speaker 1>find that lockstep that the left has been so successful with.

1:34:12.280 --> 1:34:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Shield's Eye. Brad, really really thoughtful note to us, Thank

1:34:16.240 --> 1:34:18.600
<v Speaker 1>you so much. And yeah, I look at the totality

1:34:18.640 --> 1:34:22.160
<v Speaker 1>of the Trump presidency, I still think that Trump was

1:34:22.360 --> 1:34:26.439
<v Speaker 1>overall a very successful president that pursued policies that I

1:34:26.520 --> 1:34:29.479
<v Speaker 1>agree with. I think the pandemic was awful for the

1:34:29.520 --> 1:34:33.639
<v Speaker 1>whole world and really made uh, you know, it created

1:34:33.800 --> 1:34:37.840
<v Speaker 1>enormous challenges for successful governance in the economy and everything

1:34:37.880 --> 1:34:40.720
<v Speaker 1>else in Trump's final year of his first term. And

1:34:41.160 --> 1:34:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that the the approach that he took after

1:34:44.040 --> 1:34:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the election, with the way he was talking about things,

1:34:48.160 --> 1:34:51.120
<v Speaker 1>it it went too far. Now, it didn't go too far,

1:34:51.240 --> 1:34:54.800
<v Speaker 1>as in he caused the insurrection, but saying that he

1:34:55.200 --> 1:34:58.760
<v Speaker 1>won in a landslide and repeating that constantly and telling

1:34:58.760 --> 1:35:01.920
<v Speaker 1>everybody the election was stall and that that was and

1:35:01.960 --> 1:35:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I actually would have been I wouldn't have even said

1:35:03.840 --> 1:35:05.960
<v Speaker 1>much about that for a week or two after the election,

1:35:06.120 --> 1:35:09.080
<v Speaker 1>or maybe a little beyond that, with the idea that

1:35:09.200 --> 1:35:11.439
<v Speaker 1>he was going to have the presentation of evidence to

1:35:12.240 --> 1:35:17.320
<v Speaker 1>prove that beyond a reasonable doubt. Fashion we never got it.

1:35:17.720 --> 1:35:19.559
<v Speaker 1>We never got it. That doesn't that's not the same

1:35:19.600 --> 1:35:21.560
<v Speaker 1>thing as saying it doesn't exist. But we never got it.

1:35:21.640 --> 1:35:24.560
<v Speaker 1>And we have to base our analysystem. We have to

1:35:24.600 --> 1:35:26.479
<v Speaker 1>base the way we treat the system on the facts

1:35:26.560 --> 1:35:30.280
<v Speaker 1>that we have in evidence. So I heard from people

1:35:30.360 --> 1:35:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the DOJ. I was asking them about this off the record,

1:35:33.040 --> 1:35:35.000
<v Speaker 1>talking to people about this the DOJ when it was

1:35:35.439 --> 1:35:38.160
<v Speaker 1>when the Trump legal team was out there, and then

1:35:38.240 --> 1:35:40.600
<v Speaker 1>there were the some of the freelancer types with the

1:35:40.720 --> 1:35:43.880
<v Speaker 1>release the cracking stuff. DOJ was looking at the different

1:35:43.960 --> 1:35:47.519
<v Speaker 1>voter fraud allegations and there were people that thought they

1:35:47.560 --> 1:35:49.800
<v Speaker 1>saw something in good faith that was wrong or whatever,

1:35:49.880 --> 1:35:51.200
<v Speaker 1>and they followed up on a lot of it, and

1:35:51.280 --> 1:35:56.280
<v Speaker 1>it was people were making they were mistaken. And these

1:35:56.680 --> 1:36:01.160
<v Speaker 1>are Trump. These are Trump supporting people within the DOJ

1:36:01.760 --> 1:36:03.600
<v Speaker 1>that I'm talking to. I mean, these are conservatives that

1:36:03.640 --> 1:36:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I know with the DJ and they say, look, we

1:36:05.120 --> 1:36:08.479
<v Speaker 1>looked at this and it's not there. You know that

1:36:08.560 --> 1:36:11.840
<v Speaker 1>doesn't Again, that's what they found, That's what they looked at.

1:36:12.520 --> 1:36:14.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why people love to tell me, but book,

1:36:14.280 --> 1:36:16.920
<v Speaker 1>you're saying there wasn't fraud. I'm knots I've never said

1:36:17.000 --> 1:36:20.200
<v Speaker 1>there wasn't. Of course, there was fraud, but there's a

1:36:20.320 --> 1:36:25.080
<v Speaker 1>difference between knowing that statistically it is a certainty that

1:36:25.120 --> 1:36:27.639
<v Speaker 1>there was some degree of fraud at a national election

1:36:28.400 --> 1:36:33.600
<v Speaker 1>and insisting and believing action must be taken at the

1:36:33.720 --> 1:36:37.280
<v Speaker 1>highest level of government that there was so much fraud

1:36:37.360 --> 1:36:41.160
<v Speaker 1>that the election had a different outcome without being able

1:36:41.240 --> 1:36:44.760
<v Speaker 1>to prove it. Those are not the same thing. And

1:36:44.920 --> 1:36:47.920
<v Speaker 1>that's where we are now. So now I'm not turning

1:36:47.960 --> 1:36:50.080
<v Speaker 1>my back on Trump. I don't think he should be impeached.

1:36:50.840 --> 1:36:53.719
<v Speaker 1>I think that he lost, and we're having an honest

1:36:53.720 --> 1:36:56.719
<v Speaker 1>conversation now about what that means and what happens next

1:36:56.800 --> 1:37:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and what his future will be in the movement, and

1:37:01.080 --> 1:37:03.519
<v Speaker 1>we did every look, we did everything we could on

1:37:03.680 --> 1:37:06.680
<v Speaker 1>this show to help Trump win four more years, as

1:37:06.720 --> 1:37:09.800
<v Speaker 1>did a lot of other shows. I know wasn't enough.

1:37:10.800 --> 1:37:16.720
<v Speaker 1>We tried, We tried, Mitch Hey bucking producer Mark. I

1:37:16.840 --> 1:37:19.360
<v Speaker 1>am a little down, but I have not and will

1:37:19.520 --> 1:37:22.519
<v Speaker 1>not give up the fight to keep and save our

1:37:22.560 --> 1:37:25.160
<v Speaker 1>republic from the communists. I want to get your opinion

1:37:25.200 --> 1:37:27.200
<v Speaker 1>about the next two years. I know we're a similar

1:37:27.240 --> 1:37:29.479
<v Speaker 1>position in the first years of the first two years

1:37:29.520 --> 1:37:32.599
<v Speaker 1>of the Obama administration, with the Commies holding the House,

1:37:32.640 --> 1:37:36.719
<v Speaker 1>Senate and the presidency. The left pretty much squandered that time.

1:37:36.800 --> 1:37:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm afraid they will not do the same this time around.

1:37:39.120 --> 1:37:42.200
<v Speaker 1>They'll ram through all the laws and policies they want to,

1:37:42.520 --> 1:37:45.200
<v Speaker 1>including the annihilation of the Second Amendment, and will lose

1:37:45.280 --> 1:37:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the First Amendment as well. These are crazy times. Please

1:37:48.120 --> 1:37:50.720
<v Speaker 1>give me your trusted and valued opinion. Well, Mitch, I

1:37:50.880 --> 1:37:53.040
<v Speaker 1>share a lot of your concern, so we got to

1:37:53.040 --> 1:37:54.880
<v Speaker 1>start with that. I can't tell you that I don't

1:37:54.920 --> 1:37:58.439
<v Speaker 1>also have a high degree of concern about what's going

1:37:58.520 --> 1:38:00.320
<v Speaker 1>on right now and think that things are going to

1:38:00.400 --> 1:38:03.400
<v Speaker 1>get Things are going to get worse politically and before

1:38:03.439 --> 1:38:06.360
<v Speaker 1>they get better. That's that's certain, and it's going to

1:38:06.400 --> 1:38:10.000
<v Speaker 1>happen quickly here. That all said, I also think you

1:38:11.439 --> 1:38:16.360
<v Speaker 1>need to remember that the Obama administration didn't really squander

1:38:16.439 --> 1:38:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the first two years from their perspective. They rammed through Obamacare,

1:38:21.240 --> 1:38:27.360
<v Speaker 1>which was a massive, a massive overhaul of healthcare, and

1:38:27.640 --> 1:38:30.000
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot, there was a lot involved in that.

1:38:30.240 --> 1:38:36.000
<v Speaker 1>So I just think everyone needs to be you know, yeah,

1:38:36.040 --> 1:38:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I think everyone needs to be very clear about this.

1:38:39.920 --> 1:38:42.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, there was a real, there's a real effort

1:38:42.439 --> 1:38:46.080
<v Speaker 1>to pass Obamacare and happened. They did it. They uniform

1:38:46.120 --> 1:38:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats executed on it, and they're going to do

1:38:50.640 --> 1:38:52.840
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot more now. They're gonna get a whole

1:38:52.880 --> 1:38:56.680
<v Speaker 1>lot more done in the next two years. So let's

1:38:56.720 --> 1:38:59.559
<v Speaker 1>get ready for it. That's my opinion. Man. I wish

1:38:59.600 --> 1:39:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I could say that I had some magic wand to

1:39:02.800 --> 1:39:06.240
<v Speaker 1>wave to have a better political situation for us, but

1:39:06.320 --> 1:39:09.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't. David hey Buck, when I was a kid,

1:39:09.600 --> 1:39:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the WWE was known as the WWF. Well, I remember

1:39:13.880 --> 1:39:18.719
<v Speaker 1>that too, David. Same thing for me. I remember Ravishing,

1:39:18.880 --> 1:39:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Rick Rude and super Fly, Jimmy Snuka and Andre the

1:39:23.880 --> 1:39:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Giant and Macho Mann Randy Savage and the Undertaker and

1:39:27.880 --> 1:39:32.639
<v Speaker 1>Hulk Hogan, and I remember all that stuff. I remember

1:39:32.680 --> 1:39:34.519
<v Speaker 1>watching back in the day, David says, when there was

1:39:34.520 --> 1:39:38.160
<v Speaker 1>a distinct line between the good guys and the bad guys.

1:39:38.680 --> 1:39:40.240
<v Speaker 1>It seemed every time the good guy was in the

1:39:40.320 --> 1:39:42.960
<v Speaker 1>verge of finally defeating the bad guy during a championship match,

1:39:43.479 --> 1:39:47.920
<v Speaker 1>bad guy manager Captain Lew Albano would enter the ring

1:39:48.120 --> 1:39:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and toss salt in the referees eyes just before bashing

1:39:51.000 --> 1:39:53.599
<v Speaker 1>a ladder over the head of the reff. The reff

1:39:53.640 --> 1:39:56.080
<v Speaker 1>would be knocked out cold. All the while the bad

1:39:56.160 --> 1:39:59.920
<v Speaker 1>wrestler was regaining his mojo to the point that, along

1:40:00.160 --> 1:40:02.439
<v Speaker 1>with Captain Lou, they were able to knock the good

1:40:02.520 --> 1:40:06.640
<v Speaker 1>guy unconscious. As a kid, I'd be throwing things to

1:40:06.720 --> 1:40:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the TV in an outrage, knowing the good guy was

1:40:09.680 --> 1:40:11.760
<v Speaker 1>about to get jobbed again and there was nothing I

1:40:11.840 --> 1:40:14.960
<v Speaker 1>could do about it, And predictably, the ref would regain

1:40:15.040 --> 1:40:17.080
<v Speaker 1>consciousness and see the bad guy on top of the

1:40:17.160 --> 1:40:19.840
<v Speaker 1>good guy and would give a quick three count if

1:40:19.880 --> 1:40:23.519
<v Speaker 1>the bad guy once again one. To me, That's how

1:40:23.600 --> 1:40:26.519
<v Speaker 1>life in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one feels. For

1:40:26.680 --> 1:40:29.160
<v Speaker 1>three years, Trump kept doing one good thing after another

1:40:29.200 --> 1:40:31.720
<v Speaker 1>for America. But in the end, the bad guys, Democrats

1:40:31.760 --> 1:40:34.559
<v Speaker 1>and their accomplices in the fake news media ended up

1:40:34.640 --> 1:40:39.280
<v Speaker 1>victorious again. I eventually stopped watching the WWF. I think

1:40:39.320 --> 1:40:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to do the same with politics. Seems like

1:40:41.920 --> 1:40:44.000
<v Speaker 1>a waste of time for a middle aged, white Catholic

1:40:44.040 --> 1:40:48.040
<v Speaker 1>American male like me to have a president that loves America.

1:40:48.240 --> 1:40:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, it seems like a waste of time for

1:40:50.360 --> 1:40:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a middle aged, white Catholic American male like me to

1:40:52.800 --> 1:40:56.080
<v Speaker 1>be allowed to have a president that loves America as

1:40:56.160 --> 1:40:59.240
<v Speaker 1>much as I do. It feels like the fix is in. Well,

1:40:59.360 --> 1:41:03.840
<v Speaker 1>David guy, totally understand your frustrations. I share your frustrations,

1:41:04.200 --> 1:41:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and I think there was a lot of good stuff

1:41:06.840 --> 1:41:10.439
<v Speaker 1>that Trump did. I think that one of my big points,

1:41:10.479 --> 1:41:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and I know that that some folks aren't gonna want

1:41:12.960 --> 1:41:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to I've said this and they every time I say

1:41:15.200 --> 1:41:18.120
<v Speaker 1>it there maybe cringe a little bit. But there was

1:41:18.320 --> 1:41:25.719
<v Speaker 1>no space for making Trump's presidency better from his team

1:41:26.120 --> 1:41:30.880
<v Speaker 1>and on on his side. You know, It's what I've

1:41:30.880 --> 1:41:32.920
<v Speaker 1>been saying about the coach at halftime with the team

1:41:32.960 --> 1:41:36.080
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room. If you were on Team Trump.

1:41:36.160 --> 1:41:38.200
<v Speaker 1>You were only allowed to talk about how we were

1:41:38.240 --> 1:41:40.759
<v Speaker 1>going to always win and we're awesome and everything is perfect.

1:41:41.800 --> 1:41:46.639
<v Speaker 1>That's not That's not how you get a sustainable, long

1:41:46.800 --> 1:41:52.640
<v Speaker 1>term movement that achieves really important goals to conservatism. And

1:41:53.200 --> 1:41:57.639
<v Speaker 1>I think we should remember that going forward, right. I remember,

1:41:57.800 --> 1:41:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember someone wrote in saying that I was a

1:41:59.400 --> 1:42:01.960
<v Speaker 1>waffler on Trump once, that I was waffling on trumpets.

1:42:02.000 --> 1:42:05.080
<v Speaker 1>That never I never wavered to my support for the agenda,

1:42:05.840 --> 1:42:12.479
<v Speaker 1>but on particularly personnel choices, there were there were mistakes made,

1:42:13.160 --> 1:42:18.799
<v Speaker 1>and those personnel mistakes had further ramifications and policy focused mistakes.

1:42:18.840 --> 1:42:21.240
<v Speaker 1>It's not just oh, I don't like you know, I

1:42:21.360 --> 1:42:23.360
<v Speaker 1>don't like I don't know the mooch, I don't care, right,

1:42:23.439 --> 1:42:27.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I'm Arosa, I don't care. The point

1:42:27.600 --> 1:42:29.320
<v Speaker 1>is that, and now those are two that come to mind.

1:42:29.320 --> 1:42:30.519
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of people in that White House

1:42:30.560 --> 1:42:32.400
<v Speaker 1>that never should have said foot. Never should have set

1:42:32.439 --> 1:42:35.680
<v Speaker 1>foot in a serious administration. It wasn't a good thing.

1:42:37.880 --> 1:42:41.519
<v Speaker 1>But when I said that, I knew that most of

1:42:41.520 --> 1:42:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the people listening, we were getting mad at me. Don't

1:42:45.360 --> 1:42:47.040
<v Speaker 1>stand in the way of Trump. He knows what he's doing.

1:42:47.120 --> 1:42:49.760
<v Speaker 1>He knows what he's doing. No, Trump actually needed people

1:42:49.800 --> 1:42:51.960
<v Speaker 1>that know more about politics than he do to help

1:42:52.040 --> 1:42:56.760
<v Speaker 1>shape some aspects of the policy agenda. That he didn't

1:42:56.800 --> 1:42:59.040
<v Speaker 1>need anyone's help to win the campaign in twenty sixteen,

1:42:59.080 --> 1:43:01.120
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure, right, So that's what I always said.

1:43:01.120 --> 1:43:05.280
<v Speaker 1>This guy has had a political genius for campaigning, clearly,

1:43:06.000 --> 1:43:08.640
<v Speaker 1>but getting the job and doing the job we're not

1:43:08.720 --> 1:43:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. And I think that that conservatives in

1:43:13.080 --> 1:43:17.519
<v Speaker 1>general were not comfortable hearing from people who were trying

1:43:17.640 --> 1:43:22.240
<v Speaker 1>to push Trump in a more productive policy direction to

1:43:22.400 --> 1:43:26.080
<v Speaker 1>help him achieve victory in the trade war with China,

1:43:26.120 --> 1:43:28.519
<v Speaker 1>to help him achieve the building of a wall from

1:43:28.560 --> 1:43:32.320
<v Speaker 1>C to C, not fourteen miles that's the number. Fourteen

1:43:32.400 --> 1:43:34.519
<v Speaker 1>miles of new wall and a few hundred miles of

1:43:34.640 --> 1:43:38.320
<v Speaker 1>upgraded wall. We need a lot more new wall than

1:43:38.360 --> 1:43:42.760
<v Speaker 1>we got, and these were areas where it should have

1:43:42.840 --> 1:43:46.240
<v Speaker 1>been stronger, but nobody wanted to hear it. Now, when

1:43:46.240 --> 1:43:48.840
<v Speaker 1>you're in the media business, remember you you have to

1:43:48.840 --> 1:43:50.880
<v Speaker 1>speak the truth. But you also there's no point in

1:43:50.960 --> 1:43:55.640
<v Speaker 1>antagonizing your listeners because one, you love and respect them

1:43:55.760 --> 1:43:57.920
<v Speaker 1>right there, your extended family in a sense. But also

1:43:58.360 --> 1:44:01.200
<v Speaker 1>they'll just tune it out. They'll tune it out. You

1:44:01.240 --> 1:44:02.839
<v Speaker 1>know you can only you have to pick your spots.

1:44:03.439 --> 1:44:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I can tell this audience things that I know that

1:44:05.439 --> 1:44:08.280
<v Speaker 1>that when I say they obviously there's a tremendous We've

1:44:08.280 --> 1:44:10.120
<v Speaker 1>got hundreds of thousands of listeners. I mean, this is

1:44:10.200 --> 1:44:13.360
<v Speaker 1>a there's a diverse, very diverse, truly diverse group of

1:44:13.400 --> 1:44:17.280
<v Speaker 1>people listening to this show. But I know when I'm

1:44:17.320 --> 1:44:18.960
<v Speaker 1>saying things, they're going to push some of the wrong

1:44:19.320 --> 1:44:22.160
<v Speaker 1>some people's buttons the wrong way. But I do it

1:44:22.280 --> 1:44:23.840
<v Speaker 1>for a purpose. I do it because I want to

1:44:23.880 --> 1:44:25.280
<v Speaker 1>be honest and I think that I have to get

1:44:25.320 --> 1:44:26.760
<v Speaker 1>it off my chest and I have to tell people

1:44:26.800 --> 1:44:31.519
<v Speaker 1>what I really think. And that mechanism was too small

1:44:31.960 --> 1:44:36.679
<v Speaker 1>within the Trump presidency. Wasn't enough space for that from

1:44:36.880 --> 1:44:42.720
<v Speaker 1>his team people trying to help. You're in the hut.

1:44:43.160 --> 1:44:49.680
<v Speaker 1>This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast more roll call

1:44:49.840 --> 1:44:52.640
<v Speaker 1>here with Wesley Buck. It's so disheartened to know that

1:44:52.720 --> 1:44:56.200
<v Speaker 1>you're facing backlash, angry backlash from your own team for

1:44:56.280 --> 1:44:58.160
<v Speaker 1>the sin of being principled enough that could down the

1:44:58.240 --> 1:45:01.559
<v Speaker 1>DC riots. It's the same niche of die hard Trump

1:45:01.640 --> 1:45:04.640
<v Speaker 1>supporters who came for Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly for

1:45:04.680 --> 1:45:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the high crime of expecting actual proof of rampant voter

1:45:08.240 --> 1:45:12.080
<v Speaker 1>fraud from Trump's lawyers. I support Trump, but I support

1:45:12.160 --> 1:45:15.760
<v Speaker 1>this country and the conservative movement. More people need to

1:45:15.800 --> 1:45:18.920
<v Speaker 1>remind themselves of what's at stake and maybe reevaluate what

1:45:19.160 --> 1:45:22.360
<v Speaker 1>hills they want to die on. Like you, I believe

1:45:22.479 --> 1:45:26.320
<v Speaker 1>in law and order, peaceful protests, and conservative populism. We

1:45:26.479 --> 1:45:29.920
<v Speaker 1>must condemn all forms of lawlessness. You made the right

1:45:30.040 --> 1:45:33.960
<v Speaker 1>call shields high. Oh Wesley, I appreciate that. I really do.

1:45:34.560 --> 1:45:36.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, I haven't been reading, we haven't really been

1:45:36.720 --> 1:45:41.679
<v Speaker 1>going for the you know, angry. Why are you betraying

1:45:41.760 --> 1:45:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump stuff as much? On roll Call? There's there is

1:45:44.040 --> 1:45:48.160
<v Speaker 1>some of that for sure, just because you know it's

1:45:48.240 --> 1:45:50.240
<v Speaker 1>not productive, it's not helpful. And the people who are

1:45:50.320 --> 1:45:52.880
<v Speaker 1>writing that to me for condemning the DC protests, I'm

1:45:52.920 --> 1:45:54.639
<v Speaker 1>telling you they're out there and some of them listen

1:45:54.680 --> 1:45:58.240
<v Speaker 1>to this show. But I just think they're wrong. I

1:45:59.040 --> 1:46:03.360
<v Speaker 1>actually don't think. I don't think it's a um. I

1:46:03.439 --> 1:46:08.360
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's a worthwhile opinion to have to attack

1:46:08.479 --> 1:46:13.720
<v Speaker 1>people for standing on what is clear principle here right

1:46:13.800 --> 1:46:16.479
<v Speaker 1>to say that you're a bad person because you condemn

1:46:16.720 --> 1:46:19.120
<v Speaker 1>the DC right. I don't think that that's a that's

1:46:19.200 --> 1:46:22.360
<v Speaker 1>not an opinion that I'm I feel the need to

1:46:22.439 --> 1:46:25.799
<v Speaker 1>have shared on the air here, you know, from other people. Obviously,

1:46:25.880 --> 1:46:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel that. I don't feel that is helpful. Buck.

1:46:30.560 --> 1:46:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, Kyle, I'm Buck. I'm not in a conspiracy theories,

1:46:33.920 --> 1:46:36.240
<v Speaker 1>but I think the goal of Democrats the upcoming impeachment

1:46:36.360 --> 1:46:40.200
<v Speaker 1>might be to provoke more riots and throwing more rocks

1:46:40.240 --> 1:46:42.479
<v Speaker 1>at the hornets nest causes more outbursts from the right.

1:46:42.800 --> 1:46:44.960
<v Speaker 1>It would enable the left to crack down even harder

1:46:45.000 --> 1:46:47.200
<v Speaker 1>than they already are. It's win win for them. I

1:46:47.320 --> 1:46:50.320
<v Speaker 1>know that's Machiavellian, but I'm pretty sure Pelosi's made name

1:46:50.439 --> 1:46:54.160
<v Speaker 1>was Machiavelli. It isn't it frustrating that people like us

1:46:54.240 --> 1:46:56.880
<v Speaker 1>feel shame for the violence under the Capitol building while

1:46:56.920 --> 1:46:59.479
<v Speaker 1>the left took righteous pride in the violence that took

1:46:59.520 --> 1:47:02.760
<v Speaker 1>place over the summer. We are victims of our principles, Kyle.

1:47:02.800 --> 1:47:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I've said this before. The great advantage of Democrats have

1:47:05.360 --> 1:47:07.439
<v Speaker 1>is they have no principles to protect, which gives them

1:47:07.600 --> 1:47:11.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of options, endless options. They have no principles

1:47:11.760 --> 1:47:15.400
<v Speaker 1>to protect right. It's political violence. Bad the left says,

1:47:15.439 --> 1:47:18.960
<v Speaker 1>depends on who does it. But we can't be them

1:47:19.800 --> 1:47:22.920
<v Speaker 1>a right otherwise, what's the point why people are saying, Oh,

1:47:23.000 --> 1:47:24.960
<v Speaker 1>but buck, it gets in the way. Of course, it

1:47:25.040 --> 1:47:27.120
<v Speaker 1>gets in the way. Being a good and honorable and

1:47:27.200 --> 1:47:31.360
<v Speaker 1>honest person always comes at a cost. It's cost we

1:47:31.439 --> 1:47:35.840
<v Speaker 1>have willing to pay ourselves. It's central to who we are.

1:47:36.040 --> 1:47:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for listening. Please do pass the buck.
