Barely even covers 48 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: at him, and this is a game changer team for 49 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: a team Buck, we are going now to the millions 50 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: and millions of listeners a day level. I am thrilled 51 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 1: that it's I'm going to be doing this with Clay Travis. 52 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: We've already been doing some test shows together in the background, 53 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: just to get our bearings, just just practice shows. So 54 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: if I've sounded a little tired in recent weeks, you 55 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: have a better sense as to why. But it's amazing. 56 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: I mean, here, I am a kid who started out 57 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: with a speech impediment and had to go to speech 58 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: therapy lessons as a kid, and people made fun of 59 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: me because I could not pronounce my name. I usually 60 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: tell this on my birthday every year. I kind of 61 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: give a version of this story, but it's all true. 62 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: My mom, my dad, my siblings, they would all tell 63 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: you I went through early life with the name Buck, 64 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: but I spent years saying my name was But because 65 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: I had pronunciation difficulties, I was not I was not 66 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: good at speaking. And God bless my parents and my family, 67 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: who I get a little emotionally even just thinking about 68 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: how supportive they've been my whole life. But I'm blessed 69 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: to have an amazing mom and dad, and two incredible 70 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: brothers and a wonderful sister. And yes, I have a 71 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: beautiful girlfriend whose name is not actually the snow Princess, 72 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: but we will we like to keep some degree of 73 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: privacy and anonymity there. But my family has been with 74 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: me for a very long time and obviously and they've 75 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: been amazing it at every step of the way. And 76 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: that meant when I was a kid and I couldn't 77 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: even pronounce my I could imagine not being able to 78 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: pronounce your own name. It's one thing to have some 79 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: words that come up, but I would introduce myself when 80 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: people would think that I was pulling some kind of 81 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: gag or something. How can you not be able to 82 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: say your own name? So I got speech therapy lessons, 83 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: and then I ended up on the speech and debate 84 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: team in high school and did quite well, and then 85 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: went off to the CIA. I never thought I was 86 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: even going to work in conservative media, and within thirty 87 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: days give or take, we're not. We haven't said an 88 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: exact date yet, but roughly the next month, I'm going 89 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: to be taking the microphone on the biggest stage in 90 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: radio in the United States, and I think therefore it's 91 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: fair to say the world. So that's a pretty remarkable circumstance. 92 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: And it's just because every time I asked people on 93 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: this show, every time I said to all of you, 94 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: please pass the buck, tell somebody about this show. I've 95 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: gone through this now for years with I've no marketing. 96 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: I've never raised a dollar of investment money for my 97 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: show in terms of outside investors to do anything for 98 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton. I've never had a marketing budget to speak of. 99 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: I've never been I just, you know, had an opportunity 100 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: beyond some great radio stations and then you listen, so 101 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: the numbers were strong, So I got on more radio 102 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: stations and you all told people, hey, you should really 103 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: give this guy a chance. You know. Yeah, he's, you know, 104 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: a New York City kid, and he comes out of 105 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: the CIA and sometimes he can be a little, i 106 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: don't know, curmudgeonly or intense or whatever. But he does 107 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: a really worthwhile radio show. If you if you're somebody 108 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: that cares about politics and current events, and so you 109 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: passed the buck. And that's why we're at this point. 110 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: I mean to be here in less than ten years, 111 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: to get to the point where I'm going to be 112 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: stepping in to the greatest radio time slot. And thanks 113 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: I owe Rush Limbaugh more than I can begin to say. 114 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: But obviously he created this industry. Really he was the first, 115 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: and he built the twelve to three time slot to 116 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: be what set the agenda for conservatism. You know, there's 117 00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: the Rush Show, and then at night a lot of 118 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: people will watch Fox in prime time, but those are 119 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: really the the juggernauts. Those are the or the grand 120 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: platforms of conservative media. I mean, nothing else, really, nothing 121 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: else comes close in terms of numbers, in terms of influence. 122 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: And when Rush was doing his thing, I think we 123 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: all know that he was setting the agenda and then 124 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: everybody else came after that. So to have that, look, 125 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: it's a responsibility. I'm very aware of the fact that 126 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: it's a big responsibility. I'm very aware of the fact 127 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: that I'm going to be stepping in to do a 128 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: show that is the show known to be hosted by 129 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: the greatest, the greatest, rather a radio host of all time. 130 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: And that's that's a lot, right. And we are in 131 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: a point in our country's history when politics are particularly 132 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: acrimonious and nasty and polarized, and all of that is 133 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: very true. And I'm not in this game just because 134 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: I like the business of it or I enjoy radio. 135 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: I actually want to help the country. I want to 136 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: fight for this country. This is why I do what 137 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: I do every day. There are other things where I 138 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: could make lots of money and have a whole lot 139 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: more free time and more of a personal life, but 140 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: this really matters to me. And this show, every day 141 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: that I've done it already, even on a smaller scale, 142 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: has been meaningful to me, and I hope has been 143 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: meaningful not just to all of you, but at some 144 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: level to the national conversation. And it's just a blessing. 145 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: And I'm a little a little tired out today because 146 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: this has been a lot getting to this point and 147 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: where the announcement finally comes out and is public as 148 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: it is now, I can kind of breathe easy, but 149 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: it almost feels like at the end of a marathon here. 150 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: So that's really where we are. I mean it from 151 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: the bottom of my heart. I'm so thankful for all 152 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: of you who listen and for the time you've given me, 153 00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: and for the ability to create this show and make 154 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: it into something meaningful. And also a big thanks to 155 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: producer Mark, who has been my right hand here for now. 156 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how many Mark, how many years has 157 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: it been about two years now? Two years Mark has 158 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: been with me, but I mean during the pandemic. I 159 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: mean it was just basically my life was hanging out 160 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: with producer Mark to do this show, occasional visits from 161 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: the Snow Princess and Toolula the French bulldog for over 162 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: a year, excuse me, for over a year. And so 163 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: it's it's been quite a thing. And Mark, you know, 164 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: you've become a voice that's known on the show. And 165 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we've got we got big plans 166 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: for Mark two folks, So don't worry. Things are things 167 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: are all in process. It's all happening. So you know, 168 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: this is this is where we're going, This is the 169 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: this is the future. I'm so thankful. I appreciate all 170 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: the messages you've already been sending me. I know, the 171 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal sent out a huge push notification and 172 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: I've never gotten so many messages at once. On my 173 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: I felt like my phone had been hit with a 174 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: missile or it's just my phone was blowing up all 175 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: over the place. And it's amazing, and I'm I'm thankful, 176 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: I'm humbled. And for me, I mean, this is the 177 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: equivalent of maybe not winning the super Bowl, but getting 178 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. Winning is going to be creating 179 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: a great show with Clay Travis, really making it meaningful 180 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: for people, providing a voice of insight, entertainment, comfort in 181 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: this crazy country that feels like it's just losing its 182 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: mind sometimes. I you know, we're just going to do 183 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: the absolute best show we can every day and make 184 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: it all worth your time. So this show will continue 185 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: for at least the next month or so, as it is. 186 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: That's the plan. And so if and if you're listen 187 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: to me on podcast, I want you to know that 188 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: the buck Sexton podcast will also continue. So don't think 189 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: that's going away. We're going to be doing a buck 190 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: Sexton podcast probably before the twelve to three show. Every 191 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: day be about thirty forty minutes, just me riffing and 192 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: doing my thing, and then I'm gonna sit in the 193 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: studio with Clay. That that's our plant. So don't think 194 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: that the Buck Sexton Podcast is going away, but we're 195 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: gonna be doing this show twelve to three. It'll be 196 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: the it's the biggest radio platform in America. And here 197 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: I am telling you that this is really happening. It 198 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: doesn't feel all that real to me yet, but with 199 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: each passing hour, I think it gets more real. So 200 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: I just want to send to all the team out there, 201 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: to all of you listening across America, I just want 202 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: to send you a big hug and thank you, and 203 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: you're all amazing. And so many people in this audience 204 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: that I've been writing to and texting and messaging with 205 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: for years, you've been so You've just been so awesome. 206 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: And all my worst days, on days when it felt like, 207 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: you know, I've done this show, when I've had you know, 208 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: a terrible you know, stomach illness since Celiac disease that 209 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: I didn't even know what it was, and migraines, and 210 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: through breakups in my personal life, so you know, illness 211 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: and you know, emotional stuff in my life and everything else, 212 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: and you were always I know sometimes people feel like 213 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: the radio host is there for them. You all were 214 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: always there for me, and I hope you'll all join 215 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: me at twelve to three, and it's a celebration team. 216 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: Pretty amazing. I don't anticipate that the durability of the 217 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: vaccine protection is going to be in infinite. It's just 218 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: not so. I would imagine we will need at some 219 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: time a booster. What we're figuring out right now is 220 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: what that interval is going to be. We know from 221 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: studies following people from the original clinical trials that the 222 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: protection goes out at least six months and likely a year, 223 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: but we don't know right now how long that will be. 224 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: So what we're doing is we're following those cohorts because 225 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: there's a level of detection that's called a correlative immunity, 226 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: and we know that if you're above that level, you're 227 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: in quite good shape to be protected. The vaccine itself 228 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: gives you a level up here, So how long it 229 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: takes to start coming back down, we're following it, so 230 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: we could have to get booster shots at some point. 231 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: So I just wantever to be very clear. We're now 232 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: operating in this world where we think, Okay, we've gotten 233 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: past the madness of COVID, we've gotten past the point 234 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: where Fauci can get away with saying any absurdity that 235 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: he wants to, but we still have the prospect of 236 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 1: this returning in the future. I want everyone to be 237 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: very clear on that this is not over with. For 238 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: those who say, Buck, why do you why do you 239 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: keep talking about masking and social distancing and the regulations 240 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: and all the stuff and how crazy it is, it's 241 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: because I'm telling you they're not done now. Maybe they're 242 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: not able to get back to where they want to 243 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: be with a control with the authority they had, but 244 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: they're not finished with us yet. Fauci and the rest 245 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: of them, they think they've done a good job, because 246 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: if they didn't accept that narrative, if they did not 247 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: believe that they had done a good job, think about 248 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: what that would mean if they had been wrong, as 249 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: Fauci has been this whole time. Think about what they've 250 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: put the country through unnecessarily with the mask mania and 251 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: the lockdowns and just the constantly changing expert advice. People 252 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: have less faith in doctors now and in the medical 253 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: community than they did before the pandemic. I think that's 254 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: pretty clear, at least when it comes to health policy experts. 255 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: Maybe not your personal MD, your personal physician, but in 256 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: terms of everyone else out there who's talking about the 257 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: public health. Yeah, it's a it's a pretty pretty remarkable 258 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: that this is the situation that we're in. It's pretty 259 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: remarkable that these are the circumstances in which we find 260 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: ourselves because they've been wrong so often, and yet we're 261 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: supposed to think that they're not going to be wrong 262 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: again in the future. Here's fauci on. You know, his 263 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: biggest flip flop recently had to do with the they're 264 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: studying the bats. You know, you wouldn't study them in 265 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: Virginia in fair facts, you got to study him in China. Well, 266 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: here he is on. He's not He wasn't wrong, He 267 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: just had to adjust things a little bit. Play six. 268 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: I have always said that the high likelihood is that 269 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: this is a natural occurrence. I didn't dismiss anything. I 270 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: just said it's a high likelihood that this is a 271 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: natural occurrence from the environment of an animal reservoir that 272 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: we have not yet identified. Well, I still maintain that, 273 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: but as I just mentioned the response to the questions 274 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: that since you don't know one about that, because no 275 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: one knows, including me, one hundred percent, what the origin is, 276 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: is the reason why we're in favor of further investigation. 277 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: You know, I just want to know more. I'm in 278 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: favor of the further investigation. And yeah, yeah, sure you are. 279 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: Now he's in favor of further investigation. Before it was 280 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: a it was much less clear that that was what 281 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: because they were really shutting down the narrative that Donald 282 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: Trump was using. And that's because they had to oppose 283 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: whatever Trump said. It didn't really matter. Oh here, you know, 284 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: you look back, you start to pull it some of 285 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: the headlines and see what was being said. There was 286 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: such a sense of certainty and authority that they had 287 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: on all this, and it just wasn't true. It wasn't real, 288 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: wasn't accurate. But it was more important to seem right 289 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: at the time and to use certainty to achieve that perception. 290 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: Then you actually be correct on the facts, then you 291 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: actually be correct on the substance. So that's a huge 292 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: lesson learned here, and you and I have learned it 293 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: because we pay attention to this. But the rest the 294 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: others out there, I'm telling you, the Fauciites, they're still 295 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: wearing masks. Think about this. I've been telling everybody I 296 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: walk around New York City. Now there are people that 297 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: are outdoors wearing masks, and they'll tell you. People will 298 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: defend this and say, oh, they're just being careful. So 299 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: if they're being careful, I'm sure they're vaccinated, right. I mean, 300 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: if you're somebody who's scared enough about this virus and 301 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna wear a mask outside, you must be scared 302 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: enough that you're going to get vaccinated. And so now 303 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: you've got vaccinated people outdoors wearing masks. Just to give 304 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: you a sense of how this is not something that 305 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: is just going to fade away easily. This was a 306 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: mass psychological control experiment that was run in this country. 307 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,959 Speaker 1: Of course, there was a very deadly real virus. I'm 308 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: not saying that, but there was a side effect of 309 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: this was the psychological control experiment, and it did not 310 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: go well for those of us who believe in liberty. 311 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: As we headed a Memorial Day weekend, the summer months 312 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: ahead are always a great reminder of how lucky we 313 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: are to be Americans from time with friends and family, 314 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: backyard barbecues, road trips, ballgames, heading the beach, the lake, 315 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: wherever you name it. It's also a great time to 316 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: show how proud we are to be Americans. And part 317 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: of the way we do that is by flying the 318 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: American flag in front of our homes. And not just 319 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: any American flag.

I'm telling you the 343 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: Chicoms are trying to weaponize this thing. Conservative talk show 344 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: host Rush Limbaugh with zero proof, suggesting a Chinese bioweapon 345 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: lab is to blame. It is this question about the 346 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: Wuhan lab. We know that it's been debunked. Those same 347 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: agencies now have been tapped with investigating one of Trump 348 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: World's most favorite conspiracy theories. This week, Donald Trump is 349 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: still pushing the debunked bunkum despite his own intelligence communities 350 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: findings that that is simply not true and there is 351 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: simply no reason to believe that that is the case. 352 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: There is no empirical evidence to verify that coming up 353 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: with a conspiracy theory to try and bowmen to xenophobia 354 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: with respect to the Chinese has just as much factual 355 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: support as taking clorox. If he can't just sit back 356 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: and let the doctors and the scientists do their jobs, 357 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: he's got to chime in. He may pick up the 358 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory that this was some weapon. People don't keep 359 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: bats in complete below. Oh okay, so they should make 360 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: fun of everybody who was right. Trump was right, Rush 361 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: was right, Cotton was right. You go down the list, 362 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: all these all these people who were saying, oh, I 363 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: think it came from a lab, they were mocked and ridiculed. 364 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: Why would they be mocked and ridiculed on a point 365 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: where no one really knew the answer and there was 366 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: a completely reasonable perspective based on what actual data that 367 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: we had, that it did come from a lab. Right, 368 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: But this brings me to what I'm really fired up 369 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: about today in terms of the news cycle. Obviously, big 370 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: announcement today and in case you missed it earlier, I'll 371 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: be moving as the co host twelve to three nationwide 372 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: in the Russia Limbos slot, co hosting with Clay Travis. 373 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: The two of us a duo to bring talk radio 374 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, further into the future, to just continue on 375 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: the legacy and to build and to bring in hopefully 376 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: new generations to listen. And that's that's our plan. But 377 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: we're gonna be We're gonna be going for it. And 378 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: so that's where my mind is today. So if I 379 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: sound at all scattered or anything, folks, it's not because 380 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: of anything other than today is probably the big day 381 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: in my professional career now yet. So that's that's a 382 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: lot to uh to handle. It's it's you know, I, 383 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: like I've said before, I've had to do the show 384 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: under all kinds of circumstances um, but a day like 385 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: this where there's really, honestly so much celebration but also 386 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: recognition of responsibility, it's it's it's hit me. It's hit 387 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: me right now. So I'll just do what I do, 388 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: focus in on the work. Facebook was suppressing stories about this. 389 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: Facebook was suppressing anybody who was trying to push the idea. 390 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: And it was a theory, no one, It's not that 391 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: I even said it was absolute, but it was a theory. 392 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: And the social media giants decided that you weren't allowed. 393 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: You were not allowed to share this idea out there. 394 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: You were not allowed to tell people this on their 395 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: platforms because they were so sure that it was wrong. 396 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: We ran this experiment, as I've said, in authoritarianism. It 397 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: was like a one year trial of authoritarianism. And we 398 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: ran this experiment in such a way that we were 399 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,239 Speaker 1: able to see who really thinks that they should have 400 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: the right to control public perception and public communication. And yes, 401 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: it's the authoritarian left, the Democrat Party. But the social 402 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: media giants were awful on this, and we should never 403 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,719 Speaker 1: forget what they did. We should never forget that they 404 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: allowed you idiot English literature majors who work in the 405 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: you know, either the fact checking or the customer service 406 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: or the customer experience or whatever departments of Facebook. And 407 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: these are not the actual engineers or anything that built 408 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: these systems. But the people that get to make determinations 409 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: about policy within them are a bunch of left wing 410 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: liberal arts grads who don't know a thing about a thing, 411 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: but they're able to tell you that you're not allowed 412 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: to have your not even belief, just you're not even 413 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 1: allowed to deposit a theory, one that was always rooted 414 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: in data, and one that was always rooted in fact, 415 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: but you weren't necessarily clear on. Think about how much 416 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: this undermines also our belief that we're allowed to have 417 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: conversations in this country about oh everything from you know, 418 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: vaccines and vaccine policy to how we would deal with 419 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: a pandemic in the future. They said, shut up, you're 420 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: not allowed to disagree, and they did that on major 421 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 1: issues where they were wrong. They were wrong. Now, I 422 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: think that's deeply concerning for us. It's one thing to 423 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: be chasing down flat earthers, and I know that's what 424 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: they thought they were doing. Right their belief, at least 425 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: some of them, I think others recognize that this was 426 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: just a power play, But at some level, their belief 427 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: was that they were they were eliminating factually egregiously wrong stuff. 428 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: But what do we do about the fact that they 429 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: were wrong? Well, what is the takeaway from this? How 430 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: do we how do we go forward as a society 431 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: in response to the fact that those who have the 432 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: most power to control conversations across the country, those who 433 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: have the most influence, they are in fact the ones 434 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: who were the most egregiously wrong, enormously, catastrophically on the 435 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: wrong side of many issues, whether it was school reopened 436 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: for children, whether it was the shutdown of the Wuhan 437 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: Lab escape theory. In so many areas, they just were 438 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: making it up as they were going along. And I've 439 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 1: just i gotta tell you that's going to be something 440 00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: that we have to address, because you don't think that 441 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: they're going to give this power up willingly going into 442 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: the next election. I mean going into things in the 443 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: future where the narrative really matters a whole lot. And 444 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: where does the narrative matter more than in a presidential election? Right? 445 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: Where does perception matter more than in politics? And that's 446 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: why you know, I think we're at a point where 447 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: we have to take the power of big tech away 448 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: or else there'll be no future in which we could 449 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: even conceive of it. We have to find ways to 450 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: nullify this advantage in what is really a PSIOP campaign. 451 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: And when they can tell you that you can't say 452 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: something because it's untrue, and it is true and there's 453 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: no consequences for them. Yeah, they did it during a pandemic, 454 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: but they also did it about the election. They're also 455 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: going to do it about the next election. I can 456 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: assure you of that. And they don't do it to 457 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: their own side. Russia collusion completely fine, no problem with 458 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: that whatsoever. Russia collusion, they were also happy with that, 459 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: and that's because it was advancing their narrav It was 460 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: advancing what their side wanted. And as I just see 461 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: this continue on here, we ignore this as conservatives, as Americans, 462 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: we ignore this at our peril. I'm still enraged, honestly, 463 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 1: very very angry about what all these tech companies did 464 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: to shut down free speech at a time when we 465 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 1: needed more speech, when we needed a greater ability to 466 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: share thoughts that were contrary to the dominant narrative. And 467 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: there needs to be accountability and it should be scorched earth. 468 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: I mean, whatever we can do to hobble big techs 469 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: ability to do this going forward. We should do whatever 470 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: can whatever actions can be taken. That's what needs to happen. 471 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: And I wish I could say that there was a 472 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 1: clear roadmap here that we knew exactly where all this 473 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: is going. But I can tell you this, elections in 474 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: this country are going to be very tight at the 475 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: national level for the foreseeable future. And if they can 476 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: shut down information and people that spread conservative thoughts, ideas values, 477 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: if they can shut us down with impunity, they will 478 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: continue to do so. Now it's now the cats out 479 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: of the bag. Now we see what the real idea 480 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: is here, what they're really trying to accomplish with all 481 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: that they do, and it is complete information dominance in 482 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: order to control America and make it effectively impossible for 483 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: us to fight back. All right, I've got my friend 484 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly with us now. He is a syndicated radio 485 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: host in his own right of the Jesse Kelly Show, 486 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: also my brother on the First TV where he has 487 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: I'm Right with Jesse Kelly on every night. And like me, 488 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: he was one of the few from the very beginning 489 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: who refused to bend the knee to the mass cultists, 490 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: to big tech, to their suppression all of it. Jesse, 491 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: what's it feel like to be right? My man? Well, 492 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: it's a heavy burden that I carry around all the time. Buck, 493 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm just so used to it by this point and said, 494 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: no and all there's Oh, by the way, before we 495 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: get going, is it awkward if I congratulate you? Because 496 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: I know every single person and their brother has congratulated 497 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: you today, and I don't just want to be that guy. 498 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: But I am very happy for you and as well deserved. 499 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: That's one. Two. It feels good being right Buck. But 500 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: what it would honestly make me feel better if I 501 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: thought everyone had learned their lessons so they didn't trust 502 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: the system the next time. And let me ask you, 503 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: do you feel like they've learned their lessons? No, I 504 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: don't know a lot of accountability out there. I don't 505 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: think I've heard one persons step I'm gonna say, oh, 506 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of blew that I'll do better 507 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: next time. Absolutely not. There's been no accountability for those 508 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: who were wrong. And you know a perfect example of 509 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: this is in my building, Jesse, where I live in 510 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: New York City. They have left up now now there's 511 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: no official word. During COVID we would get these you know, 512 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: you better mask up or else building policy, Health Department 513 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: blah blah that they were. They were all about it, 514 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: but now that it's no longer. Even even in New York, 515 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: I mean we're not quite as cool as Texas where 516 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: you are, but even in New York there's no more. 517 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: If you're vaccinated, you know you're you're allowed, and we 518 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: all know that also means we're just kind of on 519 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: the honor system now, and people are just gonna do 520 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: what they're gonna do, basically about about masking indoors, but 521 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: they're they've told me this. The building managers told me 522 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: they won't pull down they're wear a mask signs in 523 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: all public places because people are so scared. So I'm 524 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: walking around saying, basically, we've got a bunch of you know, 525 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: thirty to fifty year olds in my building wearing masks. 526 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: They're all vaccinated. Okay, they're all vaccinated. They're wearing masks, 527 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: and we can't pull the signs down because they've been 528 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: so conditioned that they're too frightened to deal with the 529 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: new reality of living normal lives. Well, what's that. You've 530 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: seen that movie? Everyone's seen the great movie Shawshank Redemption, right, 531 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: and the old guy I think his name was Red 532 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: who finally gets led out of prison and he can't 533 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: he can't deal with it. He ends up hanging himself 534 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: in some grungy little apartment because he cannot deal with freedom. Now, 535 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: I understand that maybe a little bit of a hammy analogy, 536 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: but it's one percent true with what we're dealing with. Buck. 537 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: People have been told You're gonna die. You're gonna die, 538 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: Your Diagrama's gonna die, your kids are gonna die. Everyone 539 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: in America's gonna die. If you why don't you wear 540 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: a mask. You're gonna kill everybody in the especially the 541 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: soft brained people in this society. I don't know that 542 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: there is a way to deprogram those people. Buck. I've argued, 543 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: and people think I'm nuts. I think it'll take ten 544 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: years before you see all the masks come off. We 545 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: have convinced people time and time again, the entire system 546 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: told them millions would die. How do you all of 547 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: a sudden stand up now and say, oh, hey, you're 548 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: good people. People can't think like that, The minds don't 549 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: work like that. It'll be a long time, man. And 550 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to him. We're speaking of Jesse Kelly, 551 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: host of The Jesse Kelly Show. You can also listen 552 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: to his podcast listen to podcasts. Uh, Jesse, I, I'm 553 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: not trying to make a stretch here with this, with 554 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: this uh this next leap, but it may sound like 555 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: it to some. The the Biden administration is trying to 556 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: mirror the Obama administration in as many ways as it 557 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: possibly can the strategies, the rhetoric we're seeing. We're seeing 558 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: this all right, this is this is the third Obama 559 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: term without Obama as president, and Biden is effectively just 560 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: a vessel for the Obama machinery of the Democrat Party 561 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: to do what it wants to do. And they love 562 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: using a crisis and the compliance from the public that 563 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: that brings to push things. You know, before it was 564 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: it was the financial crisis of two thousand and eight 565 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: and all these things were getting done, and all you 566 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: need healthcare at all, you need a trillion dollars stimulus. 567 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: What I see here is they're not yet they're not 568 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: yet satisfied with the amount of bending of the knee 569 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: they had from COVID because they haven't been able to 570 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: push it into the into their preferred policies, which is 571 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: why they're now talking about a six trillion dollars spending 572 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: bill from BIIX truly to our budget, in addition to 573 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: the trillions of spending on infrastructure and other things. They've 574 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: got a crisis, Jesse, and they're not letting it go 575 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,959 Speaker 1: to waste. They don't because that's their mentality. Buck. I mean, 576 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: you just nailed it, and you always do that, you 577 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: nailed it. That's their mentality. Now. It's why every Democrat 578 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: I've ever known, for the most part, is a visible 579 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: human being. At the same time, they do get wins 580 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: all the time and politics because they're never happy. I mean, 581 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: what did COVID do for the Democrats. Well, let's see it. 582 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: Let them bounce a sitting president who, bombastic as he was, 583 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: was wildly insanely successful both economically and foreign policy wise. 584 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: COVID allowed them to bounce that man from power and 585 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: give democrats power. But the beauty of Democrats the way 586 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: they handle their business, and we should probably be more 587 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: like this. They don't take the presidency and the House 588 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: and the Senate and then sit back and take even 589 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: five minutes and say to themselves, oh man, we nailed this. No, 590 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: the second they get there, it's what else can we destroy? 591 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: How else can we wreck this country? We must bands constantly, 592 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: And it's why a small minority of communists I've managed 593 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: to take over every cultural institution in this country in 594 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: the course of about fifty sixty years. I like that 595 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: you throw around the term communists to talk about them. 596 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll refer to them as communes, which is 597 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: clearly meant to just be disparaging, but also go to 598 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: their rude ideology. You know, Jesse that there are going 599 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: to be people who say that's not fair. They're not 600 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,919 Speaker 1: really communists, they're democratic socialists, or you know, they're progressive 601 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: democ or whatever. They'll they'll prefer some other, some other terminology. 602 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: Just I want I want you to tell me and 603 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: all the folks listening, why why do you think the 604 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: communists is the way to actually refer to these hardcore leftists. Well, 605 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: people would pretend communism is somehow complicated. Buck this is 606 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: the problem they make whoad. No, they haven't seize the 607 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: means of production yet, things like that. Communism is not 608 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: complicated people. Communism is simply the promise of power in 609 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: exchange for hurting the people you blame for your problems. 610 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: That's all communism has ever been. That's all communism is now. 611 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: That's why it's not economic in America. It's more shifted 612 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: to race and sex and things like that. It always 613 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: takes that form, and that is the Democrat Party's policy form. 614 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: Let me ask everybody who doubts that they're communists. I 615 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: want you to imagine the Democrat primary when all those 616 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: candidates were up there, Imagine one candidate besides Tulsea Gabbert 617 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: answering the question, tell me what you love about America. 618 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: Imagine what one of them would say. Not one of 619 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: them would have had an answer to that question at all, 620 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: because they don't love America. They want to destroy America, 621 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: just like all communists have done. Communism is a religion 622 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,240 Speaker 1: of domination and destruction. That's what the Democratic Party has become. Jesse, 623 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:45,280 Speaker 1: what is your case for optimism going into this holiday 624 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: weekend and a summer when at least we'll be able 625 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: to breede a little more freely. I watch America waking 626 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: up buck these numbers of people moving out of states, 627 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 1: moving out of California, moving out of New York to 628 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: places that are more free. Now, granted, that makes me 629 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: sad for California, that makes me sad for New York. 630 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: I don't like to just toss states aside, But that 631 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: tells me the American people do not want to live 632 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: under tyrannical governments. They will choose to live in places 633 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: where they can be free. And they're waking up to 634 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: the gigantic scam that is the system. The people are 635 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,879 Speaker 1: waking up Jesse Kelly.

So, man, how 700 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 1: how are you feeling about Let's just take a step 701 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: back here. State of the country right now, this Bid administration, 702 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: what we see going on. I feel like the bloom 703 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: is off. The row is a little bit. Yeah, there's 704 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,879 Speaker 1: the Libs and they're crazy and they'll say he's great, 705 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 1: but I think people are starting to realize, oh, this 706 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: is really bad. This is this is making your life harder, 707 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 1: more expensive, less free, you know, with very little upside 708 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: for a whole lot of folks across the country. Yeah. 709 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: I think there's there's two hypophesis here. Either one we 710 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: got lied too directly by Joe Biden and he's laughing 711 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: all the way to the communist bank, right, he's no 712 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: moderate Joe as he described himself kind of during the campaign, 713 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 1: or the second theory, And I think this is the 714 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: one I lean more towards, and that is he's really 715 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,439 Speaker 1: not running the country and he's totally out of touch. 716 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 1: That actually is happening, and people are abusing his inaction 717 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 1: right his lack of engagement because of whatever the hell's 718 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,799 Speaker 1: going on with him cognitively, and they're just running hardcore 719 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: to the socialist left right now and doing everything they can. 720 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: I mean, look at inflation right now. This is something 721 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: that you shouldn't you should care about regardless of politics, 722 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: as prices are continued to rise. And I saw the 723 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: Biden administration say, well, you don't need to worry about 724 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: inflation because we just sent you an average family I 725 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,879 Speaker 1: think they said ten five hundred dollars, so it will 726 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: quote cover the inflation. Okay, Well, personal consumption expenditures went 727 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 1: up eleven point three percent in January through March this year. 728 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 1: You look at that. That's also unexpected. The Treasury has 729 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 1: said this is not what they were expecting, so it's bad. 730 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: The Commerce Department is saying, yes, we agree that this 731 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: is up, but don't worry because we sent you a 732 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: bunch of free money, so it'll cover it. Well, what 733 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,800 Speaker 1: about the next quarter you're gonna send another check and 734 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 1: the next quarter after that you're gonna send another check. 735 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: I'm assuming no. And then we hear that even Joe 736 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: Biden is so delusional that he's got a new plan 737 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: to spend even more money, trillions of dollars, and there's 738 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: people's crotch in their head. I think even the Democratic 739 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: Party now going, how are you going to pay for this? 740 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,839 Speaker 1: How is it feasible to accomplish this now? Now, all 741 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: of this is happening while the guy doesn't back Israel, 742 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: while he's sending money of the Palestinians, while we're getting 743 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,240 Speaker 1: our lunch eaten by China right now, and what's happening 744 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: with their policies with China, and the fact that they're 745 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: having a backtrack on the COVID nineteen virus where they said, oh, 746 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 1: it came from a wet market, where sure it came 747 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: from a wet market, and sure enough it didn't Ben Ferguson, 748 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: everybody of the Ben Ferguson podcast, and Ben, you know 749 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 1: one area where I think we've also seen the delusional 750 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 1: left and Biden. To be fair, Biden is not quite 751 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 1: a defund the police guy, but his party is the 752 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: defund the police party. I mean, the id, the hardened 753 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 1: soul of the Democrat left right now is anti cop 754 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 1: pro BLM movement, and I think we've all seen, based 755 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: in just the numbers, the violence numbers the last year, 756 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 1: that there's been no upside to this, and it's been 757 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: horrible for a lot of cities all across the country, 758 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:52,479 Speaker 1: and the Democrats this might eventually meeting in the next 759 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: election cycle. This could really come back to haunt them, 760 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: and it should. I think that's the most important thing 761 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: to remember. Well, it shouldn't then numbers. If you look 762 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: at just the new numbers that came out recently, the 763 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: support for Black Lives Matter has plummeted in this country. 764 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,800 Speaker 1: I mean totally plummeted, because people are tired of living 765 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: in hell and seeing these high crime numbers that are 766 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: continuing to come out of areas where we have defunded 767 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 1: or pushed to defund the police. I mean, look at 768 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: the murder rates, and this is only murder rates year 769 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: over year. Philadelphia up forty percent, Minneapolis is up fifty 770 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: six percent, Portland, where they're having just total riots nightly 771 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: now up eight hundred percent. New York Cities up twenty 772 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 1: two percent, Chicago's up twenty two percent, Los Angeles up 773 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 1: twenty seven percent, DC up thirty five percent. All of 774 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 1: these cities have two things in common. Black Lives Matter 775 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,760 Speaker 1: is taken over. The elected officials have abandoned to humanize 776 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 1: the police, and they've all moved in some shape matter 777 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 1: form to defund the police. So now you're having people 778 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 1: that can get out, that are getting out. I mean, 779 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,319 Speaker 1: how you're in New York right, you know this, how 780 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,280 Speaker 1: many of your friends have left saying I'm never coming back. 781 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: I'm not going to live in this city any longer. 782 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: That is so anti police and is shutting down businesses 783 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: and small businesses and destroying an economy. You combine these 784 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 1: two things together to where we are now, and I 785 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 1: do think there's going to be hell to pay come 786 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,480 Speaker 1: midterm elections. Because but there's some Democrats that I really 787 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,799 Speaker 1: think are okay with their opposition. And that's how they 788 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 1: see many of the people they're leaving leaving. They're going, good, 789 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: you leave, and I don't have to worry about you 790 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 1: voting against me. You leave the city, and I will 791 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: own this city, even if it is a hellhole like 792 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 1: a Detroit for example, where I'm totally in control. I mean, 793 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,959 Speaker 1: that's what the recent police chief in Detroit, it said, 794 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: as he's thinking about running for governor in Michigan, He's like, 795 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 1: they abandon a city and then sees power and we're 796 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,919 Speaker 1: fine with it. That is a problem, and he's absolutely right. 797 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: You know, another area where I also think that not 798 00:44:56,239 --> 00:45:01,359 Speaker 1: only is the Biden administration vulnerable politically, but I think 799 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,319 Speaker 1: that people are going to realize in time that they 800 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 1: have no and there's no way they're going to be 801 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 1: able to stop this vulnerability. I mean, they actually aren't 802 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,320 Speaker 1: going to be able to really moderate their position or 803 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,719 Speaker 1: fix it. And that's at the southern border. You know. 804 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 1: I just had earlier this week, Senator from your home state, 805 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,840 Speaker 1: Marsha Blackburn and Tennessee on and people think of it. 806 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: I was just down to the border recently been and 807 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: people think of it as a as a Texas, New Mexico, 808 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 1: Arizona issue, maybe a California and New York issue because 809 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 1: the big cities and the magnet for a lot of 810 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: illegal illegal immigrants to come to into those those job markets. 811 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 1: But it's also an everywhere issue in this country. She 812 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,720 Speaker 1: was telling me that in Tennessee there are illegal alien 813 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 1: children who are being flown in by HHS and sometimes 814 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 1: in the middle of the night at night and the 815 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,840 Speaker 1: night Chattanooga, Tennessee, and none of the locally elected officials 816 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: we're even told this was happening. What's even more corrupt 817 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,839 Speaker 1: is not only are they flying these kids into Chattanooga, 818 00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 1: for example, but then they're immediately in the middle of 819 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 1: the night, at two thirty three in the morning, putting 820 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: them on a bus and driving them all the way 821 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: down to Miami, Florida, are driving them back to Dallas, Texas, 822 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,800 Speaker 1: for example. I would argue that's a form of child abuse. 823 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 1: You put a kid on a plane without a parent 824 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,799 Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, you fly them to 825 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 1: an undisclosed location in their mind, and then you take 826 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 1: them so no one can see them and put them 827 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 1: on buses. And then you put them on these buses 828 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,720 Speaker 1: where they're not allowed to leave the buses for twenty hours, 829 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: for eighteen hours. And those numbers aren't aren't a joke. 830 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 1: If you look at the bus routes and what they drive, 831 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,320 Speaker 1: which is the speed limit right to get down to 832 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: Miami from Chattanooga, to get from Chattanooga back to Dallas, 833 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: and not allowing the kids ever to leave the bus, 834 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: I would argue that's a form of child abuse. Speaking 835 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 1: of Ben Ferguson, host of the Ben Ferguson podcast and 836 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 1: radio show, you should all check out what he's doing 837 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 1: over there, can subscribe to where you listen to podcast spend. 838 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:07,239 Speaker 1: It seems to me that there's a clear possibility. I mean, 839 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 1: I tweeted yesterday that it's it's likely in my mind 840 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 1: that Rondas sent Is will be president. It's just a 841 00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 1: question of when. But there are still these messages being 842 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 1: put out by President former President Trump, and there's a 843 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: lot of people who are saying they're ninety percent sure, 844 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,239 Speaker 1: ninety five percent sure. What do you think right now? 845 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 1: What do you think the temperament of the conservative base 846 00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:34,239 Speaker 1: is about this? What do they see? What do they want? Look? 847 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,760 Speaker 1: I think, regardless of what the media tries to sell us, 848 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: this party right now is still the party of Donald Trump. 849 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,880 Speaker 1: That could change depending on the outcome of the midterm elections. 850 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,919 Speaker 1: If Donald Trump gets on the campaign trail and does 851 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 1: what he does so well and these rallies with the 852 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 1: lifting of all these COVID and saying restrictions, and he's 853 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: able to flip the House and add in the Senate 854 00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 1: maybe or flip the Senate. I guess technically, from where 855 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 1: we are right now, then it's his if he wants 856 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: it now if he doesn't. I think the front runner 857 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,719 Speaker 1: is certainly Ron de Santis at this point. And there's 858 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,399 Speaker 1: a lot of people that like Rond de santists because 859 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 1: he's gotten pretty much everything right with COVID. He's a 860 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,960 Speaker 1: lot like Donald Trump, I would argue, a little bit 861 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,840 Speaker 1: more polished and less mean tweets, which many in the 862 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 1: establishment may appreciate. And there's some that just hate Donald 863 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,399 Speaker 1: Trump and the GOP, and they hate him so much 864 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,279 Speaker 1: that they're ready to move on to anybody else now. 865 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 1: But you also, look, there's still a civil war happening 866 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,400 Speaker 1: right now within the GOP. I mean, look at the 867 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 1: arrogance of former Speaker the House, former vice presidential candidate 868 00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 1: Paul Ryan, whose quote in the headline from CNN Today 869 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,239 Speaker 1: made me laugh. He says he's going to enter the 870 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,399 Speaker 1: GOP's civil war by criticizing Trump. I would argue, who 871 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 1: gives a crap? Right, I mean, no one gives a crap, 872 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 1: And he says, we've got to move in the you know, 873 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,640 Speaker 1: of course, he leaks the search of the speech he's 874 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 1: going to give it the Reagan Library. In translation, he 875 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,840 Speaker 1: called reporter and said, you want part of my speech. 876 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna criticize Trump because he wants a headline. But 877 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 1: he says, apparently in his speech he's going to give 878 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 1: he said, quote, the Republicans must move away from the 879 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:15,280 Speaker 1: populous appeal of one personality because then we're not going anywhere. 880 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 1: What's so ironic about this is he's going to give 881 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 1: this speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. And Ronald 882 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 1: Reagan was to the GOP exactly what Donald Trump is 883 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:31,120 Speaker 1: the GOP right now. And to say it Ronald Reagan's library, 884 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 1: that you can't have a one man, one personality lead 885 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 1: a party is insanity because that's exactly what Ronald Reagan 886 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:43,880 Speaker 1: actually did. Remember, Ronald Reagan was the anti establishment choice 887 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 1: when he got the nomination in nineteen eighty. The safe choice, 888 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 1: if you remember, was George Bush forty one. And there 889 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,280 Speaker 1: was a big war, and then to bring people back together, 890 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,520 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan picked the adversary. They had a nasty battle, 891 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,680 Speaker 1: if people don't remember this, and he said, all right, 892 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,279 Speaker 1: let's bury the hatchet, let's make everybody happy. I'll ask 893 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,440 Speaker 1: George Bush to be my vice president and it worked 894 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,600 Speaker 1: out well. But this idea that you can't have one 895 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:14,120 Speaker 1: leader of the Republican Party, which is what Paul Ryan's implying, 896 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,400 Speaker 1: is just stupid. And to do it at the Reagan 897 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 1: Library where the one man was in charge of the 898 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:24,319 Speaker 1: party just shows how stupid these rhinos really are. My 899 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,839 Speaker 1: friend Ben Ferguson, everybody check out the Ben Ferguson podcast 900 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: and look for his show on weekends, The Ben Ferguson 901 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 1: Radio Show.
