Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Shoulder to Shoulder Shield Time,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Hey t, Welcome to
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hut. Wednesday, January eleventh edition of the program.
Speaker 1: We got the biggest grounding of flights since nine to eleven,
Speaker 1: FAA system going down. People wondering, Hey, I thought this
Speaker 1: Biden regime was supposed to be full of the smartest
Speaker 1: and the best and the no not so much, and
Speaker 1: they focused on a lot of the wrong things and
Speaker 1: there's no accountability because the media's in their pocket. We
Speaker 1: will discuss that, but since we're on the aviation transportation discussion,
Speaker 1: a train get stuck for twenty nine hours in South
Speaker 1: Carolina and people call the police saying that they are
Speaker 1: being held hostage by amtrack. It's kind of an amazing situation.
Speaker 1: And Jerome Powell gives a speech to the FED in
Speaker 1: which he says, you know, we really shouldn't be doing
Speaker 1: all this woke stuff. We shouldn't be pursuing woke policies
Speaker 1: at the FED. And the fact that he even has
Speaker 1: to say that I think should have everybody very concerned.
Speaker 1: We'll discuss woke capital coming up in a moment here.
Speaker 1: The Preborn Pregnancy Clinics, though, are so important. They're saving
Speaker 1: lives every day. They began their mission over sixteen years
Speaker 1: ago to love and help women with unplanned pregnancies by
Speaker 1: offering free ultrasounds. You see when an expectant mom here's
Speaker 1: her baby's heartbeat and sees the image of her baby
Speaker 1: on ultrasound, it's so often an immediate connection. Majority of
Speaker 1: the time, she will choose life. By positioning their clinics
Speaker 1: in states where over fifty percent of abortions occur, Preborn
Speaker 1: has rescued hundreds of thousands of babies lives out of
Speaker 1: the country's largest provider of free ultrasounds. Their response, though,
Speaker 1: is entirely dependent on you, the pro life community. Your
Speaker 1: help is needed now more than ever. One ultrasound is
Speaker 1: just twenty eight dollars and one hundred and forty dollars
Speaker 1: helps rescue five babies lives. To donate pound two fifty
Speaker 1: and say the keyword baby that's pound two five zero
Speaker 1: and say the single word baby. That'll connect you with
Speaker 1: someone at Preboard who can tell you more about this
Speaker 1: and receive your donation. Preborn dot com slash buck. That's
Speaker 1: preborn dot com slash buck. Let's help us organization save
Speaker 1: as many as forty thousand lives. Preborn dot com slash
Speaker 1: b u c K. So the FAA, they are having
Speaker 1: a rough day. That robbed. I didn't mean it too,
Speaker 1: but it did. Mayor Pete Buddha Judge is the Transportation Secretary,
Speaker 1: so the Federal Aviation Administration falls under his broad his
Speaker 1: broad area. And I think people are realizing, you know,
Speaker 1: putting someone in charge of this who doesn't know anything
Speaker 1: about transportation. Apparently, Mayor Pete of South Bend to the
Speaker 1: Indiana It wasn't even very good at fixing the potholes
Speaker 1: in South Bend, if you know what I mean. Not
Speaker 1: good at the basics the day to day of being mayor.
Speaker 1: And this is what you get from the Bide administration.
Speaker 1: Why is Mayor Pete Buddha Judge a cabinet official? What
Speaker 1: is it about it? Oh, that's right. He is openly
Speaker 1: gay and so therefore he falls under the diversity and
Speaker 1: inclusion ideology of the Biden Democrats. And so that was
Speaker 1: a major selling point for him being in the cabinet.
Speaker 1: They had to find a cabinet job from Secretary of
Speaker 1: State a little too much because he has no experience
Speaker 1: in foreign policy whatsoever. Secretary of Defense. Maybe some people
Speaker 1: thought possibly because I think he did a tour in Afghanistan,
Speaker 1: probably at ISAFF, place where I also spent some time,
Speaker 1: and there are cafes and restaurants there. It's actually not really,
Speaker 1: you know, not really the super dangerous place there. People
Speaker 1: did very dangerous things in Afghanistan serving their country. But
Speaker 1: depending on your role, ISAFF was not exactly hardship duty.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I don't think they're gonna give him secondary defense.
Speaker 1: So they found something for him. By the way, is
Speaker 1: saffs International Security Assistance Force for those of you who
Speaker 1: remember from the old days of the US Afghan War.
Speaker 1: So now we have Pete Buddha Judge as the Transportation Secretary.
Speaker 1: It is not going well. You will recall, while there
Speaker 1: were massive supply chain issues and there were whole shipping
Speaker 1: container vessels that were stretching out for miles into the
Speaker 1: ocean because they couldn't actually offload their goods and wears
Speaker 1: at the ports that Pete Buddha Judge was on parental
Speaker 1: leave because his husband had were they the two of
Speaker 1: them had adopted a baby, so he had an adopted baby.
Speaker 1: He's a cabinet official and he took parental leave for
Speaker 1: I think it was six weeks while in his area
Speaker 1: of expertise or area of responsibility, I should say, because
Speaker 1: there he has no expertise in this area. Obviously, while
Speaker 1: there was a crisis of supply, chain wage meant businesses
Speaker 1: being in a bad spot, not able to get what
Speaker 1: they need, not even to sell what they're trying to
Speaker 1: sell and make the profits they need to pay people
Speaker 1: the wages they need to feed their families. But Pete
Speaker 1: Buddha judge today also having to explain to everybody how
Speaker 1: it is that we have to ground all flights for
Speaker 1: a couple of hours. They're back in the air now fortunately,
Speaker 1: but Bluddha judge on the hot seat twenty six, please
Speaker 1: play that clip for safety reasons to make sure that
Speaker 1: every aircraft that took off was doing so safely, FA
Speaker 1: implemented a ground stop lasting about an hour and a
Speaker 1: half from about seven thirty two nine to make absolutely
Speaker 1: sure that the messages were moving correctly in the information
Speaker 1: for safety purposes is working the way it should. That
Speaker 1: has happened. That's the good news. Flights are operating, though
Speaker 1: we are going to see the ripple effects from that
Speaker 1: this morning's delays working through the system during the day.
Speaker 1: Now we have to understand how this could have had
Speaker 1: the first place, Why the usual redundancies that would stop
Speaker 1: it being that disruptive did not stop him being disruptive
Speaker 1: this time, and what the original source of the errors
Speaker 1: or the corrupted files would have been. Yeah, so doesn't
Speaker 1: have any answers other than it broke down. We don't
Speaker 1: know why. We'll figure it out the end. That's what
Speaker 1: he says. Basically, why is this guy in charge of this?
Speaker 1: Has he ever shown an ability to manage massively complex
Speaker 1: systems In the past, He was a management consultant for
Speaker 1: I believe McKinsey, which means that this guy who has
Speaker 1: done a remarkably a remarkably bad job, was in a
Speaker 1: position where he was telling other people how to do
Speaker 1: their jobs at their business is better and that he
Speaker 1: was like a junior analyst there or something at McKinsey.
Speaker 1: So people are pointing out the bind administration puts individuals
Speaker 1: in roles based upon identity politics, not entirely, but largely,
Speaker 1: and this is undermining merit and with it our entire system,
Speaker 1: which look, it's imperfect. People get jobs because of who
Speaker 1: they know. People get jobs because of who dad is
Speaker 1: or mom is. People get jobs for a whole range
Speaker 1: of reasons. But ultimately, we are all supposed to believe
Speaker 1: that the most important characteristic or the most important trait
Speaker 1: that we're looking for, especially in things like pilots, surgeons,
Speaker 1: cabinet secretaries in areas like transportation or whatever, is competence.
Speaker 1: But competence is objective, and therefore competence can be used
Speaker 1: in a meritocracy, and that goes against the aims of
Speaker 1: the Marxist comi left wing loons who push wokeness and
Speaker 1: diversity an inclusion on all of us all that time.
Speaker 1: So when that's the case, when the single most important
Speaker 1: thing is that people feel included instead of are you
Speaker 1: going to be good at this, everybody suffers. This is
Speaker 1: bad for everyone. Legacy Box, my friends, is the company
Speaker 1: that I've been recommending for a long time for digitally
Speaker 1: transferring your families memories from videotapes to digital files and
Speaker 1: thumb drives. There's a large team of technicians working in

Speaker 1: If if you've ever been like me and you've had
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time in the New York
Speaker 1: City subway, you've had those moments where you're stuck in
Speaker 1: between stations and you're in this dark tunnel, in a
Speaker 1: metal tube from which there's no escape. You look around
Speaker 1: and you realize you were a bunch of strangers, and
Speaker 1: then things start to get a little little tense. You
Speaker 1: can start to feel the anxiety of everybody in there
Speaker 1: just elevating, just getting a little bit a little more tense,
Speaker 1: and you go, I don't know, he start. You feel
Speaker 1: your breathing start to change, a lot of breathing. It
Speaker 1: a little fact. I don't know how long I'm gonna
Speaker 1: last in here. It's been twenty minutes, it's been thirty minutes,
Speaker 1: it's been forty five. You know, you start to get
Speaker 1: a little freaked out, and then doom, doom, and the
Speaker 1: train starts going. That was actually a pretty good subway sound.
Speaker 1: But the train starts going again, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you okay, so I'm okay, I'm okay. Imagine if you
Speaker 1: had a feeling somewhat similar to that on an Amtrak
Speaker 1: train for almost thirty hours. This is what happened on
Speaker 1: the car train, which I believe transports people and their
Speaker 1: vehicles from DC to Florida. It got stuck after there
Speaker 1: was a train the train hit in a unoccupied car
Speaker 1: on the tracks, which I don't know how that happened,
Speaker 1: but it did. And then there was a there had
Speaker 1: to change the track and I don't know, some problem
Speaker 1: any long story short, maybe long story long. They had
Speaker 1: people in an Amtrak train, five hundred plus people for
Speaker 1: almost thirty hours, and they were not allowed to get
Speaker 1: off the train. The rules are, you are stuck on
Speaker 1: that train, you want to get off? Sorry, too bad.
Speaker 1: This is nuts. People recognize that as nuts, and so
Speaker 1: some people on the plane on the train rather started
Speaker 1: to call the police in South Carolina and say that
Speaker 1: they had been kidnapped. Here here is actual audio from
Speaker 1: inside this Amtrak train. After it's you know, two dozen
Speaker 1: plus hours of being stuck, people rant, They ran out
Speaker 1: of food, people had pets. The pets were just going
Speaker 1: right in the car because they wouldn't let the pets
Speaker 1: out to go in the grass. This is the call
Speaker 1: that was made. Listen well again for those of you
Speaker 1: that are calling the police, we are not calling you
Speaker 1: out pitch. We are giving you all the information on
Speaker 1: which they are they are sorry about the incommuniamation is available.
Speaker 1: We will let you know shortly. Thank you. I think
Speaker 1: they're holding the hostage. I gotta tell you something. I
Speaker 1: think you're looking at a hostage situation here. I when
Speaker 1: because you have to ask, you have to wonder, at
Speaker 1: what point do they are they in a vision where
Speaker 1: they must let people get off? You know, at what
Speaker 1: point do the is it they have to let people?
Speaker 1: Because it sounds like there there's no time at which
Speaker 1: that is the case. It sounds like there's nothing that
Speaker 1: you could look at and say, I am guaranteed to
Speaker 1: be off this train at the following time, so there's
Speaker 1: no outer limit to it, which strikes me as absolutely nuts.
Speaker 1: Really does strikes me as crazy. So maybe that's a
Speaker 1: rule that has to change. By the way, Mike, do
Speaker 1: we have I thought we had something about this guy
Speaker 1: given a speech Jerome Powell the FED. Am I crazy
Speaker 1: thinking that we got that clip? Maybe maybe that was yesterday.
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about it. Yeah, I think it
Speaker 1: was yesterday, but it was in my mind so I'll
Speaker 1: just tell you about what happened. Jerome Polle gave a speech,
Speaker 1: FED speech in which well on behalf of the fed,
Speaker 1: I should say, And when she was trying to tell everybody, look,
Speaker 1: we need to not have oh here we go. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now it wasn't a clip. It was a news article
Speaker 1: that I had in my head. They should not tackle
Speaker 1: climate change on social issues, and he says that they
Speaker 1: shouldn't engage in wokeness. Let me tell you something right now,
Speaker 1: the woke have gone way beyond trying to persuade you.
Speaker 1: They have no interest in trying to persuade you. They
Speaker 1: want to control you. And that's why they have gone
Speaker 1: for all of the nodes of control to force you
Speaker 1: to do things. This is why COVID showed and the mandates,
Speaker 1: the masks and the vaccines showed exactly who they are.
Speaker 1: NAT was a part of this whole process. It showed
Speaker 1: you their authoritarian desires exposed for all to see. But
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, finance controlling you via controlling your bank
Speaker 1: and your bank accounts, this is a top consideration for them.
Speaker 1: This is something that they are absolutely positively going to
Speaker 1: be doing. And that's why Joe and Pale saying this,
Speaker 1: I think is interesting because it's really telling everybody. It's
Speaker 1: letting everybody know that while they're trying to battle inflation everything,
Speaker 1: there are people in the Federal Reserve right now, high
Speaker 1: level officials who think that they should start to address
Speaker 1: use the FED as a tool to address things like
Speaker 1: climate change and inequity and racial justice and social justice
Speaker 1: and you name it. How does that look? What is
Speaker 1: that like? So? I know I mentioned yesterday we're gonna
Speaker 1: be changing the Buck Sexton Show starting on Monday. Already
Speaker 1: booked a bunch of great guests for a long form
Speaker 1: chat with Buck conversations that are gonna be happening next week,
Speaker 1: so I'm really excited about that. We're also going to
Speaker 1: be unveiling, finally for those of you who are watching
Speaker 1: on video, the new studio set up in here. We're
Speaker 1: finishing it this weekend. It has taken about twice as
Speaker 1: long as we had anticipated, but it is going to
Speaker 1: be happening, So there are very cool things coming. I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. I appreciate all of you hanging
