Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. This was the top agenda
Speaker 1: item all along. We should have seen it coming, I
Speaker 1: think many of us did. If you remember, during the
Speaker 1: Obama years, the first thing they went to was healthcare,
Speaker 1: and then after healthcare they went for immigration, and then
Speaker 1: after immigration, they tried to go for the environment, what
Speaker 1: you could call the Green New Deal. But now they've
Speaker 1: realized this time around with Biden and Charge, the Democrats
Speaker 1: are going to be pushing more on immigration than anything else,
Speaker 1: and specifically on amnesty. That's right, amnesty. This is what
Speaker 1: they realize wins the future for them. All they have
Speaker 1: to do is win on this issue and everything else
Speaker 1: falls into place. We see this, we've seen it coming,
Speaker 1: I think for years. And here's what the Biden administration
Speaker 1: is saying about. The US Citizenship Act of twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one includes an eight year path two citizenship for illegal immigrants,
Speaker 1: which the White House estimates to be eleven million. Eight
Speaker 1: year path this citizenship. Now, let's let's understand this. The
Speaker 1: whole notion of a pathway to citizenship is false. Once
Speaker 1: they create a legal framework, once they create this basis
Speaker 1: for making people who are in the country illegally permanent,
Speaker 1: not just residence citizens. This isn't just saying you get
Speaker 1: to say. This is saying you get to vote. You understand, right,
Speaker 1: this is what's going to happen. And by the way,
Speaker 1: if they try to change this, if they try to
Speaker 1: alter the language, they say, well, no, it's not voting
Speaker 1: rights right away, it's actually just gonna be permanent status.
Speaker 1: If that's the case, they'll change it. They'll change it
Speaker 1: because once someone's here permanently, they'll have the ability to vote.
Speaker 1: Once someone's here and they're legal, it's just a matter
Speaker 1: of time before the Democrats are in the majority again,
Speaker 1: or just change their mind while they're in the majority
Speaker 1: and say, you know what we're gonna do. We're going
Speaker 1: to grant voting rights now eleven million people. Think about
Speaker 1: how many votes the last election was determined by. Think
Speaker 1: about what it will mean for the Republican Party going
Speaker 1: forward if not only do you have those immediate votes
Speaker 1: added into the mix, but there is going to be
Speaker 1: an enormous bush obviously for particularly the many millions of
Speaker 1: Latinos who would be covered under this or have someone
Speaker 1: they know covered under this to vote Democrat forever. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a way to try to achieve a permanent majority.
Speaker 1: And you'll notice that in the past when this was tried,
Speaker 1: Democrats wanted to do this. Under the Obama administration, some
Speaker 1: Republicans we're gonna go along with it. In the past,
Speaker 1: when this was tried, the people lit up the switchboards
Speaker 1: of Congress. It was the American people who said, hold
Speaker 1: on a second, what exactly is going on here? And
Speaker 1: you're going to be let me assure you, you're going
Speaker 1: to be lied to about this issue as much as
Speaker 1: anything in the political realm in recent years. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're going to be told things by the news media
Speaker 1: about this. Oh, it's gonna be very strictly enforced to
Speaker 1: think about it. Why why an eight year path to citizenship?
Speaker 1: Why why should it take eight years? What exactly about
Speaker 1: that makes up? Oh? Well, because then they say they'll
Speaker 1: process people and there will be these these benchmarks you
Speaker 1: have to hit, There'll be these things you have to achieve,
Speaker 1: things you have to do in order to qualify. Here's
Speaker 1: why that's nonsense. If you don't qualified, as anyone believe
Speaker 1: you're actually gonna have to leave the country if for
Speaker 1: some reason you don't do some of the things, and
Speaker 1: who knows what it will be. Right, this hasn't become
Speaker 1: a law yet, but payback taxes have English proficiency, as you,
Speaker 1: no doubt, no a lot for a lot of cases.
Speaker 1: The people that are illegal immigrants would not, in fact
Speaker 1: even qualify for paying federal income taxes. They would get
Speaker 1: a refund from the government for their based on their
Speaker 1: earnings in the past. So they're just gonna get a check.
Speaker 1: They're just gonna get a check. And now we see
Speaker 1: the Democrats understanding how to utilize and wheel power. This
Speaker 1: is one part of the game that I wish the
Speaker 1: Republicans knew better. I know people don't want to hear this.
Speaker 1: What did we get? We had Trump and we had
Speaker 1: a Republican majority of the House and the Senate for
Speaker 1: two years in twenty sixteen, starting in twenty seventeen, what
Speaker 1: did we get anybody? Tax cuts? We got tax cuts. Now,
Speaker 1: tax cuts are fine. You know, I think we are
Speaker 1: over tax but remember they're all so temporary. Taxes are
Speaker 1: about to go up, friends, Taxes are about to go
Speaker 1: up a whole lot. And what we see now is
Speaker 1: that the Democrats understand to strike while the iron is hot.
Speaker 1: They're trying to take action while they can, to do
Speaker 1: as much as they can. That's their plan, that's the
Speaker 1: way they approach this. And we're left to say, let's
Speaker 1: hope we can convince some of their own, some Democrats
Speaker 1: not to go along with this. Let's hope we can
Speaker 1: convince enough of the American people that this would lead
Speaker 1: to well, lawlessness in this country. I mean, sovereignty is
Speaker 1: already being eroded by Democrats all the time. Because what's
Speaker 1: to make anyone think that this amnesty would be the
Speaker 1: final amnesty. If you're wondering how this has worked down
Speaker 1: in the past, you can go back and about Reagan's
Speaker 1: amnesty back in nineteen eighty six. It was only going
Speaker 1: to be a few million people, and it turned out
Speaker 1: to be a whole lot more than that, And it
Speaker 1: went on for years and years and years. The enforcement
Speaker 1: mechanisms that were supposed to be in place the deal then,
Speaker 1: and this was under Reagan, and Reagan admitted that he
Speaker 1: got swindled. He admitted that this was not this did
Speaker 1: not end up being a good deal for the American people.
Speaker 1: But what it was was that you had people that
Speaker 1: were going to be legalized, but that would be it,
Speaker 1: and you would shut it down and no more illegal
Speaker 1: crossings at the border. Okay, that was it. That was
Speaker 1: what we were supposed to get in exchange in response,
Speaker 1: And do you think that happened? Do you think there
Speaker 1: was no illegal crossing after that? Do you think that
Speaker 1: that would no? Of course not no. In fact, it
Speaker 1: was a massive incentive and there were even more illegal
Speaker 1: crossing in the nineties than ever before. You want to
Speaker 1: know how did California flip from being a Republican leaning
Speaker 1: state to being a deep blue stronghold. Illegal immigration through
Speaker 1: the nineties played a huge role in that. Say, oh,
Speaker 1: but illegal immigrants can't vote, their families can, their children can?
Speaker 1: And which party is more favorable to illegal immigrants? Which
Speaker 1: party says, sure, come on, come on in. Doesn't matter
Speaker 1: that you've broken the law, doesn't matter that there are
Speaker 1: these challenges, and it's gonna be part of a whole
Speaker 1: broader legalization effort that includes things like temporary protected status,
Speaker 1: deferred action for childhood arrivals, immediately eligible for Green cards
Speaker 1: of farm workers. There's gonna be all this stuff. That's
Speaker 1: this is exactly what they tried under the Obama administration.
Speaker 1: They're just gonna dress it up a different way. They're
Speaker 1: gonna call it something else. They're gonna have some other
Speaker 1: way of of presenting this to the American people. But
Speaker 1: this is where everyone has to see. Joe Biden was
Speaker 1: sold to us as though he was in some way
Speaker 1: less radical than Obama. That's obviously not true. Joe Biden
Speaker 1: is completely in line with Obama. In fact, because the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party has gone further left, Joe Biden is governing
Speaker 1: to the left of Obama right now. That's what's actually happening.
Speaker 1: It's what we are seeing from day one to now,
Speaker 1: unbroken trend here. Oh it was good old blue collar Joe.
Speaker 1: He's been in the game a long time. You know,
Speaker 1: you could trust him. He's he's whatever the Democrat Party
Speaker 1: needs him to be. He was whatever the Obama administration
Speaker 1: needed him to be. And now the Biden amnesty now
Speaker 1: they have the votes, if they get rid of the filibuster,
Speaker 1: they can do this now. I know. Right now, people say, oh,
Speaker 1: they won't. Democrats won't go for that, you know, Joe Mansion,
Speaker 1: there a few Democrats who won't do it. The truth is,
Speaker 1: if they decide this is important enough, they'll do whatever
Speaker 1: they have to do to achieve power. They'll push in
Speaker 1: whatever ways they need to. There's not even a pretense,
Speaker 1: by the way, in this bill of border security. Boarder
Speaker 1: security used to be the thing that Democrats pretended they
Speaker 1: cared about so they could get more illegal immigration, so
Speaker 1: they could get more amnesty. In this case, they're not
Speaker 1: even they're not even going through the motions. This is
Speaker 1: just legalizing a whole lot of people that broke the
Speaker 1: law and in this country illegally to this day. That's
Speaker 1: what it is, and trying to up those numbers as
Speaker 1: much as possible. This changes the American political landscape, and
Speaker 1: that is what the Democrats are hoping to achieve with it.
Speaker 1: That's what Biden's trying to do. You're in the freedom hunt.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The buck Sexton Show podcast. Get
Speaker 1: the latest from Bucket buck Sexton dot com. It's a
Speaker 1: sad thing to say, Mika, but that's classic Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 1: A lot of people in New York State have received
Speaker 1: those phone calls. You know. The bullying is nothing new,
Speaker 1: I believe ron Kim, and it's very, very sad no
Speaker 1: public servant, no person who's tell him the truth should
Speaker 1: be treated that way. But yeah, the threats, the belittling,
Speaker 1: the demand that someone changed their statement right that moment,
Speaker 1: many many times I've heard that, and I know a
Speaker 1: lot of other people in this state have heard that.
Speaker 1: So you believe assembly Man Kim that he was threatened?
Speaker 1: Its First of all, I know him, He's a good
Speaker 1: public servant. I've always seen him as a person of integrity.
Speaker 1: But it's just the script is exactly what a lot
Speaker 1: of us have heard before. It's not a surprise, it's sad.
Speaker 1: It's not the way people should be treated. And you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of people get intimidated by that. I give
Speaker 1: him credit for not being intimidated. Wait a second, you
Speaker 1: mean the love Gov. You mean that the hero of
Speaker 1: the pandemic, the greatest leader, a guy who should be
Speaker 1: a stand in at the last minute for the Democrat
Speaker 1: nominee for the twenty twenty election. You mean I get
Speaker 1: an Emmy and I write a book about leadership. Andrew
Speaker 1: Cuomo is actually a terrible human being who's bad at
Speaker 1: his job and just runs around like a psychotic bully.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, you know we're not actually just finding this out. Now,
Speaker 1: it's just now they can't hide it anymore. It's broken
Speaker 1: wide open on the nursing home issue, so they can't
Speaker 1: run the same kind of cover for him. But they
Speaker 1: did cover for him for as long as they possibly could.
Speaker 1: They did everything in their power, everything in their capability,
Speaker 1: so to make sure that none of this stuff would
Speaker 1: be known by the general public before the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 1: Cuomo has a horrid, a putred reputation for anyone who
Speaker 1: has actually dealt with him in politics. And yet the
Speaker 1: media was all, oh, my gosh, listen to the way
Speaker 1: that he tells these tales, he weaves these stories, Listen
Speaker 1: to the way that he's bringing us all together with
Speaker 1: his conferences. Absurd, simply absurd. And now we find out
Speaker 1: that he even goes after fellow Democrats, notice even to Blasio,
Speaker 1: who is a man of the left. But you know,
Speaker 1: he's a bureaucrat and he's a tyrant in his own way,
Speaker 1: but he's a passive, aggressive tyrant. You know, he's a Well,
Speaker 1: I want you to do this thing, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have my people send you a letter. Cuomo gets up
Speaker 1: in your face. Cuomo tells you your career is over.
Speaker 1: Here's the The The New York Times reported on it for months.
Speaker 1: Assemblyman Ron Kim has been one of the few Democratic
Speaker 1: lawmakers willing to criticize Governor Andrew Cuomo for his state's
Speaker 1: handling of the nursing home during the pandemic, pressing for
Speaker 1: investigations into the matter. So when a top aide to
Speaker 1: mister Cuomo recently admitted that his administration had withheld nursing
Speaker 1: home data from state lawmakers, mister Kim, whose Queen's district
Speaker 1: was hit hard by the coronavirus, said it appeared the
Speaker 1: governor was trying to dodge having any incriminating evidence. Hours
Speaker 1: after mister Kim made comment in The New York Post
Speaker 1: last Thursday, he got an irate late night call from
Speaker 1: the governor. Mister Quomo began with a question, are you
Speaker 1: an honorable man, and then proceeded to yell for ten minutes.
Speaker 1: Mister Kim recalled, threatening to publicly tarnish the assemblyman and
Speaker 1: urging him to issue a new statement clarifying his remarks.
Speaker 1: Sir Cuomo made good on his threat on Wednesday afternoon.
Speaker 1: In a remarkable retort, the Governor used his press briefing
Speaker 1: to lob allegations of propriety at the assemblyman, saying that
Speaker 1: he had his administration have had a long and hostile
Speaker 1: relationship with mister Kim, now in his fifth term. In particular,
Speaker 1: mister Cuomo was angered and combative about a letter published
Speaker 1: by The New York Post that was signed by several
Speaker 1: Assembly members, including mister Kim. The letter, citing the governor's
Speaker 1: delays and releasing a complete tally of deaths of nursing
Speaker 1: home residents, including those that happened after a resident was
Speaker 1: transferred to a hospital, accused mister Cuomo of attempting to
Speaker 1: circumvent a federal probe and intentional obstruction of justice. Oh wait,
Speaker 1: a second Cuomo could be under investigation here friends, the
Speaker 1: FBI US Attorney's office in Brooklyn are, according to a
Speaker 1: number of news outlets, investigating Cuomo's handling of the nursing
Speaker 1: home deaths. So the heat is getting turned on here,
Speaker 1: But I just there's so much going on. This is
Speaker 1: the guy who, more than anyone, with the exception of Fauci,
Speaker 1: was held up by the Democrats at the peak of
Speaker 1: the first wave of the pandemic, held up by the
Speaker 1: Democrats as the model for how to handle this. They
Speaker 1: even said things like he's the model, this is the
Speaker 1: way you deal with it. And now we see he
Speaker 1: is a psychotic tyrant. Now we see that Governor Cuomo
Speaker 1: is somebody who is not only willing to hide information
Speaker 1: that would show people just what happened here. People's relatives
Speaker 1: were dying. They were dying by the thousands in these
Speaker 1: nursing homes. They weren't even allowed to see them in
Speaker 1: their last days. They weren't even allowed to show up
Speaker 1: and give them one last hug or even wave to them.
Speaker 1: And Cuomo was acting like he was high and mighty,
Speaker 1: and if only we listened to him, lives would be saved.
Speaker 1: If we did not do everything he told us, whatever
Speaker 1: calamity would befall us was our fault, and people ate
Speaker 1: it up. Democrats believed this. They thought that this was
Speaker 1: a great example of leadership during a crisis. This buffoonish,
Speaker 1: vicious thug and democrat governor of the fourth biggest state
Speaker 1: in America, somebody who has still talked about or was
Speaker 1: until recently as having presidential aspirations. How is it that
Speaker 1: we can have journalists in this country? How can we
Speaker 1: have a profession known as journalism when they don't feel
Speaker 1: ashamed that this truth about how Chomo handle the pandemic,
Speaker 1: how he hid what he did, and how he tried
Speaker 1: to suppress anyone else from speaking out about it, including
Speaker 1: people in his own party who were disgusted. I'm sure
Speaker 1: Assemblyman Kim is appalled by this, appalled on a deep
Speaker 1: human level. This is his neighborhood, Queens was one of
Speaker 1: the worst hit parts of the entire country by the
Speaker 1: COVID pandemic, and Cuomo wouldn't hear anyone else, no other ideas,
Speaker 1: allowed no other thoughts to be included. His way or
Speaker 1: shut up, and he really means it. He means it.
Speaker 1: You you have to do it the way the Kuomo
Speaker 1: tells you to, or you deal with the consequences. That's
Speaker 1: why this Guardian piece here. A lot of news news
Speaker 1: sites picked this up. This is just the beginning. Federal
Speaker 1: prosecutors in Brooklyn the FBI have started investigating how Andrew
Speaker 1: Cuomo's Coronavirus Task Force handled data on debts in care
Speaker 1: homes and similar facilities, according to multiple reports, as pressure
Speaker 1: mounted on the New York governor. The preliminary federal investigation
Speaker 1: is looking into whether state officials manipulated figures on care
Speaker 1: home debts, which were recently revealed to be nearly double
Speaker 1: what the authorities first disclosed. This isn't just about accountability.
Speaker 1: This is about liability. This is about holding people responsible
Speaker 1: for decisions that might have led to death. In the
Speaker 1: case of Andrew Cuomo and his nursing home order, we're
Speaker 1: just beginning to dig into this. This is the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo called me the next day at eight pm
Speaker 1: while I was about debate my kids. I was with
Speaker 1: my wife and for ten minutes he berated me. He
Speaker 1: held up me. He told me that, you know, my
Speaker 1: career will be over. He's been biting his tongue for
Speaker 1: months against me, and I had tonight, not tomorrow, tonight,
Speaker 1: to issue a new statement essentially asking me to lie
Speaker 1: and asking me like I just I heard and I
Speaker 1: saw a crime that a day and he's asking me
Speaker 1: that I did not see that crime. And that was
Speaker 1: the line that he could you know aligned that he
Speaker 1: crossed that can't be undone. And that's why I had
Speaker 1: no choice but to come out and speak up. The
Speaker 1: hero of the Democrats during the pandemic, second only to Fauci,
Speaker 1: and we see he's actually a disgrace, bad at the job,
Speaker 1: awful decision making, dishonest, and a thug on top of
Speaker 1: it all. The Governor of New York, highest executive official
Speaker 1: in New York State. This is the person who gets
Speaker 1: to determine when restaurants get to open. This is the
Speaker 1: person who gets to determine what the level of business
Speaker 1: closures will be for how long, at what percentage, how
Speaker 1: long you have to mask, where your mask, how you mask.
Speaker 1: Everyone needs to understand that is what has happened in
Speaker 1: this country. We have handed over willingly because people are scared.
Speaker 1: And when everyone got so scared because the media was
Speaker 1: just pushing the panic porn everywhere because it was necessary
Speaker 1: in their minds to defeat Donald Trump. When they were
Speaker 1: pushing all of this, when they were doing all of
Speaker 1: this never occurred to them or they didn't care that
Speaker 1: they were handing over all of this authority to morons,
Speaker 1: people like Andrew Cuomo. Unbelievable that this is where we are.
Speaker 1: And you know, you see this some of the some
Speaker 1: of the big names that were used for their anti trumpism,
Speaker 1: some of the people out there who we were told
Speaker 1: that the most important thing about them was their utility,
Speaker 1: their usefulness in destroying Donald Trump. They've now been proven
Speaker 1: to be frauds. They've been proven to be awful people,
Speaker 1: so many of them. I mean, you have you have Cuomo,
Speaker 1: you have the Lincoln Project, which has been in a
Speaker 1: state of complete collapse. Right, you have the Lincoln Project.
Speaker 1: You have now Governor Cuomo. Gavin Newsom another one. Right, Oh,
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom was doing a great job. He was taking
Speaker 1: victory lapse in California. He was the he was the
Speaker 1: poster child. He was the golden boy, the person that
Speaker 1: knew how to protect his people because he listened to
Speaker 1: the science. That's how he uses in You know, here
Speaker 1: in California, we listened to the science. Gavinism is assure
Speaker 1: you do how that science work out for you. In November, December, January. Oh,
Speaker 1: you know what the real problem was, they weren't double masking.
Speaker 1: If only if only someone had figured out that two
Speaker 1: masks were better than one six months ago, we would
Speaker 1: have all been fine. That's what they want you to believe. Now.
Speaker 1: What they definitely do not want is for you to
Speaker 1: question what the heck has happened to this country and
Speaker 1: what we've been put through. People like Newsome and Cuomo
Speaker 1: and Whitmer have been making these decisions, these arbitrary, totalitarian
Speaker 1: decisions about our lives for going on a year now,
Speaker 1: and we just went along with it. Because those who
Speaker 1: were in a position to raise the alarm, to say,
Speaker 1: hold on a second, this isn't the way, we don't
Speaker 1: have to do this, they were either silenced or cowards,
Speaker 1: and so the country was dragged through this. All Newsom
Speaker 1: and Quomo did was make things worse. The policies that
Speaker 1: they instituted for which there was opposition, for which we
Speaker 1: could have had a robust debate, they didn't allow the debate.
Speaker 1: It was nope, I make the call. I'm in charge.
Speaker 1: That was the approach from Cuomo, from Newsom, from Whitmer,
Speaker 1: from Governor Murphy in New Jersey, many many of them,
Speaker 1: Hogan and Maryland's go down the list, listen to what
Speaker 1: we tell you to do, or else we'll shut down
Speaker 1: your business, or else we'll arrest you. We'll find you,
Speaker 1: we'll shame you, you'll lose your job. Oh, you're a
Speaker 1: mask denier. You can't even fly on a plan anymore.
Speaker 1: Mask denier. Right, that's how it's been. And now we
Speaker 1: see who these people really are. Now they're being exposed.
Speaker 1: And in the case of Governor Cuomo, this is not
Speaker 1: going to go away. This is not one that you
Speaker 1: can just wave your hand and pretend it didn't happen.
Speaker 1: He was engaged in an active disinformation campaign with the
Speaker 1: complicity with the partnership really of the corporate Democrat media
Speaker 1: and that the Democrat Party overall. You go back, you
Speaker 1: hear all the oh, all the speeches, all the celebrities, celebrities,
Speaker 1: you know, all these actors and athletes are so stupid.
Speaker 1: It's really social media just means now we're all that
Speaker 1: they inflict their idiocy on us all the time, either
Speaker 1: if you don't want to see it, but they were, Oh,
Speaker 1: quomos doing such a great job. This is more than
Speaker 1: just about the political accountability, and I want you to
Speaker 1: really understand that part. This is more than just a
Speaker 1: question of whether or not there should be pain for
Speaker 1: someone like Quomo the ballot box for making bad decisions
Speaker 1: when he hides information from people, the people, including the
Speaker 1: government itself as well as the voters. When he hides
Speaker 1: information that has to do with life and death issues.
Speaker 1: That has to do with public health. That's more than
Speaker 1: just I don't want people to think badly of me.
Speaker 1: That's affecting decisions, and the outcomes of those decisions are
Speaker 1: determining whether people live or die. New York Assembly Member
Speaker 1: Ron Kim says, and this is why Cuomo was so
Speaker 1: angry at him that there was no discussion or debate
Speaker 1: when it came to what Cuomo wanted to do with
Speaker 1: nursing homes or anything else for that matter. He was
Speaker 1: the tyrant of New York. There were there's a total
Speaker 1: of nine thousand COVID positive patients that were transferred back
Speaker 1: to nursing homes in about in the two month time
Speaker 1: period where he had a mandate then when nursing homes
Speaker 1: couldn't reject them. These were under prepared nursing homes. I
Speaker 1: know this because I was on the ground working with them.
Speaker 1: They were crying that they couldn't do this. Half of
Speaker 1: the staff members already had COVID by them and they
Speaker 1: were out. They weren't working. But Governor, you know, he
Speaker 1: just doubled down and tripled down. Other states might have
Speaker 1: adopted those policies, but they quickly repealed and moved an
Speaker 1: entire direction to a point where they started banning COVID
Speaker 1: positives nursing homes. But he continued to do that and
Speaker 1: it was a bad policy and that but that's not
Speaker 1: the point, Joe. I think we can all understand in
Speaker 1: the first wave, you could have made some mistakes. I
Speaker 1: think the public, myself, we would have sympathized and continued
Speaker 1: to work with him, But he shut us out. He
Speaker 1: covered information, and he doubled tripled down on bad policies.
Speaker 1: And that's why we're here today because he refused to
Speaker 1: talk about the truth and acknowledged the mistake so we
Speaker 1: can move to state forward. He refused the truth in
Speaker 1: a way that affected decision making at the highest level
Speaker 1: about the sacred obligation to protect the lives of people
Speaker 1: in the state of New York, to protect our fellow
Speaker 1: Americans who have the misfortune myself included of living in
Speaker 1: a state where Andrew Cuomo is the governor. That's what
Speaker 1: we're really talking about here. This is beyond just your
Speaker 1: normal political handle because by hiding that data, by preventing
Speaker 1: people from knowing what was really happening in the nursing homes,
Speaker 1: we did not have the chance to say, hold on
Speaker 1: a second, what's going on here? What are you doing?
Speaker 1: There can't be accountability for government in general, never mind
Speaker 1: government that's taken a totalitarian position, which is what Cuomo
Speaker 1: has done. He was given these emergency powers for a
Speaker 1: year by the New York State Legislature, and he was
Speaker 1: really enjoying himself with it. Telling you what you could do,
Speaker 1: where you could go, who you could see, so much
Speaker 1: power and more than any politician has had in memory, right,
Speaker 1: and the concentration of power over day to day lives
Speaker 1: that governors of these states who have become power mad,
Speaker 1: what they've been able to do, what they've gotten away
Speaker 1: with is an atrocity. Why can't more people see this
Speaker 1: and just remember they hid it from you. It was
Speaker 1: all to defeat Trump. Whatever they had to do, however
Speaker 1: they had to lie, whatever stories they had to tell, justified.
Speaker 1: In fact, they're proud of it. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day. If you sat down with a journalist in
Speaker 1: a moment of honesty, if you sat down with someone
Speaker 1: from the New York Times, the Washington Post, he said,
Speaker 1: you know, how can you have any faith in your
Speaker 1: profession whatsoever? How can you have any belief in what
Speaker 1: you're doing, even what's happened here, they'd say, well, Trump
Speaker 1: didn't win, did he. Cuoma doesn't matter to them. The
Speaker 1: nursing home deaths, that's not really their job. Their job
Speaker 1: wasn't to shine a light on a tragedy that was
Speaker 1: a man made one, not entirely. I see, I'm not
Speaker 1: the Democrats. I don't think they created COVID. I don't
Speaker 1: blame them for all of COVID the way they did
Speaker 1: to Trump. But I can blame people for saying, you
Speaker 1: know what we're gonna do. We're gonna take people with
Speaker 1: COVID who are seniors whose immune systems are already overtaxed
Speaker 1: in dealing with the virus and are likely to carry
Speaker 1: high viral loads and send them back into close quarters
Speaker 1: living conditions with other seniors who are bart by far
Speaker 1: at the highest risk of death from this disease. I
Speaker 1: can hold somebody accountable for that. That is a decision
Speaker 1: that could have been made or not. But the resistance,
Speaker 1: you see, the anti Trump resistance, they had their priorities,
Speaker 1: and the priority was anything it takes to stop Trump.
Speaker 1: Cuomo saw that and he ran with it. You know
Speaker 1: how Sometimes there'll be some celebrity who will get caught,
Speaker 1: usually in some kind of a sexual impropriety. This has
Speaker 1: happened a number of times. Some well known Democrat will
Speaker 1: get caught, you know, sexually harassing or even in a
Speaker 1: sexual assault or whatever whatever the allegation may be, and
Speaker 1: they'll release some statement. They'll say, I have a lot
Speaker 1: of reflection to do, a lot of thinking to do,
Speaker 1: and I'm also going to turn around that I'm gonna
Speaker 1: fight the NRA on gun violence. And they've tried this before.
Speaker 1: I think Harvey Weinstein even did this. There have been
Speaker 1: a number of people who have pulled the I did
Speaker 1: a thing. Maybe I'm not sure. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: admit it and really apologize. I'm sorry if you feel
Speaker 1: upset about it, but I'm not saying I did it.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to attack the NRA. Ah, that's the
Speaker 1: game they play. Well. Now, as you know, what's even
Speaker 1: better than that, what's the bigger get out of jail
Speaker 1: free card for a Democrat at least up until now,
Speaker 1: than anything else. I'm part of the resistance. I'm here
Speaker 1: to take down Trump. Cuomo saw it and he ran
Speaker 1: with it. And only now after that usefulness to the
Speaker 1: left has finally dissipated. Are we are we able to
Speaker 1: have a real conversation about just what happened here? The
Speaker 1: person held up by the left as the biggest hero
Speaker 1: of COVID is act truly the biggest villain. This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Join the conversation and message

Speaker 1: com if you may read it on the show. In
Speaker 1: a week, middle school comes back. It's going to be
Speaker 1: safe because we've really set the goal standard for this nation.
Speaker 1: We looked at the very beginning of opening schools in September,
Speaker 1: we said, let's take the best, the best approaches from
Speaker 1: around the world. So our kids all wear a mask.
Speaker 1: For example, our kids are tested, a big sample of
Speaker 1: each school tested every week. You know, these are the
Speaker 1: things that I've worked. Our schools are the safest places
Speaker 1: to be in New York City. So first middle school,
Speaker 1: and then I look forward to high school. And I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, Willie, this whole country has got to
Speaker 1: reopen our schools. You know, enough is enough. Our kids
Speaker 1: need it and they're suffering. You know, really, let's be clear,
Speaker 1: it's not just academic loss. Our kids are suffering emotionally,
Speaker 1: and if they're not in school, it's bad for them,
Speaker 1: it's bad for their emotional development. For a lot of kids,
Speaker 1: it's it's very, very painful to not have that chance
Speaker 1: to go to school. And we've we've got to pay
Speaker 1: more attention to that. There's some sense coming out of
Speaker 1: Mayor build A. Blasio's mouth here, at least when he
Speaker 1: says the whole country has to reopen schools. That's where
Speaker 1: we are. There is no other position that makes any sense.
Speaker 1: There is no other good faith argument. There's no oh,
Speaker 1: but what about but we got to talk but the
Speaker 1: ventilation systems, but the double masking. But but no open
Speaker 1: the schools now, not next month, not next fall, right now.
Speaker 1: But they have a very clear problem here, and I
Speaker 1: hesitate to even bring this up because it's so troubling
Speaker 1: when you really think about it. There are a lot
Speaker 1: of people, and there's also the system itself, those who
Speaker 1: work within the the bureaucracy, the apparatus of government control
Speaker 1: at all levels, federal, state, local. There are a lot
Speaker 1: of people who have been in positions of authority and
Speaker 1: power during this and they don't want to give it up.
Speaker 1: All you have to do, it's so easy. You take
Speaker 1: a look at where COVID cases are right now, and
Speaker 1: all you have to do is see the precipitous drop
Speaker 1: in the last month new cases on a seven day
Speaker 1: rolling average. And I'm using like New York Times data,
Speaker 1: hear CDC data, you know, the gold standard stuff that
Speaker 1: everyone's always talking about, not going to some blog somewhere
Speaker 1: and taking someone's word for it. The cases are down
Speaker 1: fifty percent, fifty percent in the last month new cases.
Speaker 1: That's really, you know, impactful, that really matters. So shouldn't
Speaker 1: there be an why aren't you feeling? I ask you,
Speaker 1: is why aren't you feeling the enthusiasm out there? The hopefulness.
Speaker 1: Where's that sense of unfettered joy just waiting, just waiting
Speaker 1: in the background for when we can finally have our
Speaker 1: lives back. When they will stop with the wear a mask,
Speaker 1: When they'll stop. Oh, they don't want you to be
Speaker 1: able to stop with that anytime soon? Do they? No?
Speaker 1: Not safe? Look at what they're doing with schools and
Speaker 1: understand that this is going to be their approach to
Speaker 1: everything with COVID as it has been all along. It's
Speaker 1: not safe. Sorry, people are suffering, they're losing their businesses,
Speaker 1: they're suicidal, they're abusing drugs, their health is deteriorating, they're
Speaker 1: losing their minds. Millions and millions of people across the
Speaker 1: country are going through this, and they have bureaucrats telling them, yeah, okay, fine,
Speaker 1: the cases are going down, down, down, and the vaccine
Speaker 1: is getting distributed, but it's not safe. Well when is it?
Speaker 1: When will they find finally take their boot heel off
Speaker 1: our shoulder, When will they say, you know what, okay, fine,
Speaker 1: we don't just have unlimited power anymore. We don't get
Speaker 1: to tell you that your business can't be open, or
Speaker 1: that you can't go see your family members, or you
Speaker 1: can't traveler. They're not going to do it. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have to fight every step of the way because they
Speaker 1: will drag it out as long as they can. And
Speaker 1: if you ask me, how long is that, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But whatever is reasonable, whatever is rational, and it'll be
Speaker 1: much more than that, it'll go much further than that.
Speaker 1: I can assure you. That's their plan. That's what they
Speaker 1: are seeking to do here, to extend this pain, because
Speaker 1: it means they can extend their control. They like the
Speaker 1: control you're listening to the Buck Sexton Choke podcast, make
Speaker 1: sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. I will say one
Speaker 1: of the reasons that the President has put one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty billion dollars of funding and his American Rescue
Speaker 1: Plan is because he knows that schools across the country
Speaker 1: need funding to satisfy some of the mitigation steps that
Speaker 1: are recommended in the CDC guidelines. I talked with him
Speaker 1: about this this morning, and his concern, as you have raised,
Speaker 1: that this is deeply impacting women. We're seeing that statistically
Speaker 1: with every week and every month of jobs numbers. We've
Speaker 1: seen it anecdotally, and his concern is about the impact
Speaker 1: of course on working women today, but also on how
Speaker 1: well it will bring us back in the years ahead,
Speaker 1: because if there are fewer women who are in the workplace,
Speaker 1: there are fewer women climbing the corporate ladder, there are
Speaker 1: fewer women who are getting law degrees, getting doctorates, and
Speaker 1: that has a long term impact. So you're right that,
Speaker 1: or I should say. What I'm taking from your question
Speaker 1: is can we get this done if we don't have funding,
Speaker 1: If we don't have the different components. When he announced
Speaker 1: his goal of opening the majority of schools, he made clear,
Speaker 1: we need to have funding because most many schools will
Speaker 1: tell you across the country or they were waiting for
Speaker 1: the CDC guidelines. They want to know how to do
Speaker 1: it safely, but they don't have They need the funding
Speaker 1: to hire more teachers, they need more bus drivers, They
Speaker 1: need the ability to implement the mitigation steps that are
Speaker 1: going to work for their school districts. Nonsense. Okay, you're
Speaker 1: hearing it here from the White House Press secretary. The
Speaker 1: fact that she has that job is really in many
Speaker 1: ways feels like all you have to know about this
Speaker 1: Biden administration. But anyway, what she's saying is just is
Speaker 1: just bonkers. We need, we need one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: billion dollars for schools so that schools can reopen because
Speaker 1: they have to implement all these mitigation measures. Well, did
Speaker 1: somebody write it? Did I miss something? Did someone write
Speaker 1: a check for one hundred billion dollars to private and
Speaker 1: parochial schools which which have been open all year and
Speaker 1: are fine. Did did that check get written? I just
Speaker 1: don't know about it. We need, we need money for
Speaker 1: all the money for more teachers. The teachers they have
Speaker 1: aren't even teaching more teachers. Are they serious? Yeah, if
Speaker 1: they are. Unfortunately, this is all just now people trying
Speaker 1: to get theirs. This is teachers union saying, Wow, Uncle
Speaker 1: Sam's gonna be writing some big checks. Let's get our
Speaker 1: piece of that. Sorry that your kids haven't been able
Speaker 1: to earn anything for a year, and they're miserable, and
Speaker 1: they've been separated from their friends and their development is stunted,
Speaker 1: and sorry about all that. But you know, we gotta
Speaker 1: get a little more OT in the budget. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: need more more zoom capability. Why is it that teachers
Speaker 1: are so sacred in this whole process, but the people
Speaker 1: that are are bringing you your food or opening up
Speaker 1: the grocery store, or you know, delivering your mail or
Speaker 1: you know, go down the list. Why is it that
Speaker 1: we have to take this special precaution for teachers. It's
Speaker 1: because they are holding your kids hostage. The teachers unions
Speaker 1: are holding kids hostage so that they can get as
Speaker 1: much money out of the taxpayer as possible during this
Speaker 1: time of crisis. This is the This is like war profiteering,
Speaker 1: except it's virus profiteering. By the teachers union. That's what's
Speaker 1: happening all this other stuff. Oh, we need money for mitigation.
Speaker 1: Why money for mitigation? Why the science the data doesn't
Speaker 1: say that, Oh, it's really important that you have kids
Speaker 1: double mask and put them in plexiglass pods and you
Speaker 1: rotate one teacher for you know, for five kids every whatever.
Speaker 1: It is like, that's not what the data says. Kids
Speaker 1: are at acceptable risk, which means almost no risk from
Speaker 1: this disease. Acceptable risk. That means that even if they
Speaker 1: get it, it's okay, they're gonna be fine, and the
Speaker 1: tea chers who are teaching them are at very limited
Speaker 1: risk of getting it from the kids. In fact, the
Speaker 1: CDC director said yesterday, spread is worse in communities with
Speaker 1: schools that are on lockdown. So someone explained how it's
Speaker 1: a good idea to keep schools closed when the communities
Speaker 1: with schools open are better off from a pure COVID
Speaker 1: spread perspective. Someone explained that, well, they can't. They have
Speaker 1: no case to make here. There's nothing that they can say.
Speaker 1: They don't know what else they can say other than
Speaker 1: give us the money, because we need so many more masks.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's horrible here in New York City, there's
Speaker 1: just there's people's disposed of masks on the floor, on
Speaker 1: the ground, on the street, everywhere. It's just trash. It's
Speaker 1: all over the place. Remember we were told, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: we're all gonna run out of masks, We're gonna run
Speaker 1: out of masks. We're the United States of America for
Speaker 1: the wealthiest country, the wealthiest society in the history of
Speaker 1: the world, of the planet. I mean that is a
Speaker 1: true statement. By far, We're going to run out of
Speaker 1: a piece of cloth to put over our mouths. Never
Speaker 1: mind the fact that there's now a just are we
Speaker 1: allowed to have the discussion about how effective is a
Speaker 1: loosely worn bala, you know, a loosely warned bala clava
Speaker 1: or or a kerchief a bandana over your mouth? How
Speaker 1: effective is that at preventing you from getting COVID nineteen?
Speaker 1: Considering that now we're told, you know, you really got
Speaker 1: a double mask, are we allowed to ask that question
Speaker 1: or no? That's where we are, that's what we're seeing here.
Speaker 1: Can't even ask the question? Not allowed? Not allowed? Just
Speaker 1: do what you're told, peasant double mask up now, not
Speaker 1: not single mask? Double mask? And the schools issue. I
Speaker 1: think people are seeing that this is the canary in
Speaker 1: the coal mine. This is a taste of all of
Speaker 1: the rest of what lays ahead, which is they're going
Speaker 1: to fight every step of your freedom, the Democrats, Biden,
Speaker 1: the Fauciites. You're gonna have to just with your with
Speaker 1: your fingernails, just ripping it with everything you've got. I
Speaker 1: want my life back, I want my liberty back. As
Speaker 1: you're saying, oh, bucket's not that bad in my state, Okay,
Speaker 1: try and fly on an airplane. See what that's going
Speaker 1: to look like in three or six months with the
Speaker 1: Biden administration. Try to try to do business. Try to
Speaker 1: go for a work trip into a blue state. See
Speaker 1: what the federal government has planned for you. See the
Speaker 1: way they're going to raise taxes. Look at the federal
Speaker 1: policy on schools when it comes to the CDC. What
Speaker 1: they're saying, this affects everybody in different ways. Every state
Speaker 1: with a large population center of a major city has
Speaker 1: been in some form of lockdown, in many cases extreme lockdowns,
Speaker 1: and they don't want to stop it. And they also
Speaker 1: maintain the right to do this again in the future.
Speaker 1: See that's the other part of this too. We're supposed
Speaker 1: to be thankful when they finally let go of this
Speaker 1: iron grip of tyranny around our throats. We're supposed to
Speaker 1: be thankful for it. I'm furious about it, and I
Speaker 1: have been all along because I've known these people are idiots.
Speaker 1: They're not as smart as they think, they are, not
Speaker 1: by a mile, and they like to tell you what
Speaker 1: to do. There is a petty tattletale hall monitor at
Speaker 1: the heart of the Democrat Party today, the Democrat belief
Speaker 1: system in America. Petty tattle tales, that's what they are.
Speaker 1: Where's your mask? Who? What are you doing this? You
Speaker 1: support Trump? You caused the virus? Really? Remember when the
Speaker 1: Red States there were stories, there were news stories written
Speaker 1: about how the Red States were going to be crushed
Speaker 1: by COVID nineteen because we don't listen to the science
Speaker 1: and Red states right, and it was the Blue States
Speaker 1: that were the models of how to handle this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: anybody want to revisit those bits of brilliant analysis. But
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot in advance, that's for sure. I've
Speaker 1: seen a lot. And one of the things that I've
Speaker 1: seen is that they weren't going to you know, there
Speaker 1: was this whole theory among conservatives as soon as Joe
Speaker 1: Biden comes into power, everything is going to open and
Speaker 1: everything's gonna be fine again. And that's the game. I said, No,
Speaker 1: that's not what they're gonna do. Eventually, they'll give you
Speaker 1: a little they'll give you a little taste of freedom,
Speaker 1: and they'll give you just a little bit like a
Speaker 1: little bird dropper or eyedropper. Rather would you would feed
Speaker 1: birds with a little eyedropper of liberty? You know, it's
Speaker 1: just a little bit, and you'll be so parched for
Speaker 1: it at that point and say, oh my gosh, you
Speaker 1: mean I don't have to wear a mask all day
Speaker 1: long outside only if i'm you know, in the between
Speaker 1: the hours of ten am and six pm and rush hour.
Speaker 1: They've actually done that in some place. They have rush
Speaker 1: hour mask requirements in some countries as as if that
Speaker 1: makes sense, Oh okay, only certain times of day you
Speaker 1: have to wear a mask. But you'll say, okay, anything, anything,
Speaker 1: please just stop haral asking me with this idiocy. Right,
Speaker 1: that's where it will be. They've broken a lot of
Speaker 1: people with this. I can't tell you any people I
Speaker 1: had saying, oh, you know, I don't want to hear
Speaker 1: about it anymore. It's not you know, fine, we'll just
Speaker 1: push through it. Really, tell that to your favorite local
Speaker 1: business owners, your small businesses around you. If you live
Speaker 1: in a city, very good chance that small business has
Speaker 1: been through hell and maybe he's never going to open
Speaker 1: its doors again. Maybe if we had all said that
Speaker 1: we really are the land of the free and the
Speaker 1: home of the brave. Maybe, if we really were going
Speaker 1: to decide, don't tread on me has some meaning beyond
Speaker 1: a flag that some people have in the background when
Speaker 1: they're doing TV hits, we wouldn't be in this position.
Speaker 1: Ask them. Ask the people who refuse to give you
Speaker 1: back your freedom under the guise of protecting you, how
Speaker 1: well have they protected you? What have they really been
Speaker 1: successful in doing with all of this, Show me the proof,
Speaker 1: show me the numbers. And then when they're making their
Speaker 1: highly unconvincing case to you, which I can assure you
Speaker 1: is what will happen, you can go a step beyond
Speaker 1: that and say when do I get my life back?
Speaker 1: Notice they won't give you, They say this is all
Speaker 1: about data and science. Why can't they tell us right now?
Speaker 1: When cases day to day for a two week period
Speaker 1: drop below ten thousand COVID restrictions go away, and we're
Speaker 1: on our individual You know, you're basically released on your
Speaker 1: own recognizance, your individual behavior. You know, don't be foolish
Speaker 1: if you're six day away from people, but you get
Speaker 1: your life. They won't do that. No, no sake bombs
Speaker 1: even telling you we don't know when we're going to
Speaker 1: decide that we're going to give up all this power,
Speaker 1: all this delicious power that we've accumulated. It's amazing, isn't it.
Speaker 1: That's how the status, that's how the authoritarians think. Here
Speaker 1: she is played twelve. This is the question, as I'm
Speaker 1: sure is the case for all of you, that every neighbor,
Speaker 1: every friend, every family member asks at least me in
Speaker 1: the street when I'm walking my dog in the morning. Um,
Speaker 1: don't we want to be straight with the American public
Speaker 1: though it is we are not in a place where
Speaker 1: we can predict exactly when everybody will feel normal again.
Speaker 1: And it has there a number of reasons. One is,
Speaker 1: even though we will have enough doses for every person
Speaker 1: in this country, as you all know because we've talked
Speaker 1: about it in here, vaccine hesitancy remains a challenge. We
Speaker 1: need to ensure that that everybody who can get a
Speaker 1: dose is getting a dose. We all will also need
Speaker 1: to be masking for some time. We also need to
Speaker 1: be still taking social distancing measures. So you know, there's,
Speaker 1: of course, is an understandable question, and I think the
Speaker 1: President wants things to return to normal, as we all do,
Speaker 1: but we don't know at this point what that timeline
Speaker 1: is going to look like. Why not isn't it based
Speaker 1: on metrics and data? Well, why can't they just determine
Speaker 1: right now? Why can't they know? Why? Because it's arbitrary,
Speaker 1: don't you see? It's whenever they say so. Biden, the Democrats, Fauci,
Speaker 1: the CDC. They've turned us all into little kids saying, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm hungry. When when can I have a cookie? Or
Speaker 1: when can I When can I go outside? When I
Speaker 1: say so is the answer from the lockdown left? And
Speaker 1: they look you right in the eyes and they say
Speaker 1: it over and over again. When I say so, that's
Speaker 1: when if you say, well hold on, but what about yeah, science?
Speaker 1: They chant this like it's some kind of argument ender science.
Speaker 1: There's no science. And when I say so, but there's
Speaker 1: a lot of power, isn't there. I'm telling you. I
Speaker 1: have seen this coming. I knew they weren't going to
Speaker 1: just open everything up and have a totally different attitude.
Speaker 1: When Biden came into office, I was arguing, debating with
Speaker 1: conservative friends of mine for months about this, And here
Speaker 1: we are. If we allow the Fauciites to continue. You,
Speaker 1: we're going to be dealing with this misery for at
Speaker 1: least another fourteen or fifteen months. That's right. That's where
Speaker 1: it will receive in the summer. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: It'll go down. They'll start to let you feel normal again,
Speaker 1: but then all we're gonna hear about the variants, and
Speaker 1: then all we're heading the COVID season again, and then
Speaker 1: you'll be back into it all next winter, and we'll
Speaker 1: just be on this seesaw of totalitarian health policy madness.
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Buck on Facebook, Instagram,
Speaker 1: and Twitter. These are unprecedented times for our Commonwealth, for
Speaker 1: our nation, unprecedented for the whole world. Our nation is
Speaker 1: in crisis, and it has been for some time now.
Speaker 1: But we are not without hope. As we begin this
Speaker 1: new year with a democratic quiet House, a democratic House,
Speaker 1: and now a democratic Senate. I believe that we have
Speaker 1: a mandate to finally deliver real relief to working people.
Speaker 1: And I am ready to roll up my sleeves and
Speaker 1: dive into the work ahead. And boy, do we have
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do, starting with ensuring that
Speaker 1: our response to this pandemic and the economic recession is
Speaker 1: strong and that it is equitable. Congress must act now
Speaker 1: to contain this virus, and that is one of the
Speaker 1: main things I'm doing down in Washington. It's trying to
Speaker 1: strengthen and pass the long overdue relief package. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: We should be hopeful for the coolorship of war and
Speaker 1: wants you to be hopeful for the country because we
Speaker 1: have democrosts in charge in the White House. Democrats that's
Speaker 1: in charge in Congress, and they have a mandate. Oh,
Speaker 1: a mandate for the help of working people all across
Speaker 1: the country. Oh gosh. Yeah, Oh, we're gonna really get
Speaker 1: it all going. The problem with this is that Democrats
Speaker 1: aren't actually good at any of the things they promised
Speaker 1: they will be good at. And that's what we're seeing
Speaker 1: happened right now. That is what we are going through.
Speaker 1: Are they good at distributing vaccinations the way they said
Speaker 1: they'd be now, of course, not are they uniting the country? Nope.
Speaker 1: Is the economy looking like it's in some great position.
Speaker 1: All Joe Biden and the Democrats would have to do
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one for us to see a tremet
Speaker 1: a huge economic boom is get out of the way,
Speaker 1: end the lockdowns, and don't ruin everything. Basically, if they
Speaker 1: took a do no harm approach, we'd be in we'd
Speaker 1: be in good shape as a country. But as you know,
Speaker 1: that's not what they're gonna do. They're going to meddle,
Speaker 1: they're going to harass, they're going to irritate, they're going
Speaker 1: to annoy in every way that they can. We're using
Speaker 1: every excuse in the book because they're so sure they're
Speaker 1: gonna make everything better. Here, for example, is is Joe
Speaker 1: Biden out there telling us that, you know, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make I'm yelling no apparent reason here I am,
Speaker 1: you know, look like um, yeah, I'm sure, get a
Speaker 1: little tired looking at the prompter, but yeah, I'm the
Speaker 1: president now, I play Mario Kart with my grandkids, and
Speaker 1: but you know, yeah, anyway, here he is with how
Speaker 1: he's going to create seven million jobs, whoo twenty. We
Speaker 1: can come back. We can come roaring back. It's estimated
Speaker 1: that if we buy most economists, including Wall Street firms
Speaker 1: as well as as as you know, think tanks, so
Speaker 1: i'm political think tanks left, right and center. It is
Speaker 1: estimated that if you've we pass this bill alone, we'll
Speaker 1: create seven million jobs this year, seven not six million,
Speaker 1: seven seven million jobs. Sitting on a branch eating a
Speaker 1: lot of acorns. Right, I'm uncle's ranch. Biden's all like,
Speaker 1: step into my office because you're the president. Ah here
Speaker 1: we are. Yeah, seven million jobs. Sure, Joe Biden only
Speaker 1: knows how to create jobs by having his sons sell
Speaker 1: influence to China. That's the only the only job Joe
Speaker 1: Biden has created have been for Biden family members who
Speaker 1: are selling access to Biden. That's pretty much it. That
Speaker 1: and you know, book deals for books he doesn't write.

Speaker 1: at some point again. Soon I was like, I like
Speaker 1: talking to the former president now, really curious to know
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do next. Let's let's get into some
Speaker 1: of what some of what he had to say, some
Speaker 1: of what the president, I'm sorry I do. I just
Speaker 1: do that by habits, some what the former president is
Speaker 1: thinking about what's happening right now. First off, well, you
Speaker 1: know what, let's have him talk first and foremost about
Speaker 1: what the news yester or they're very very sombre, very
Speaker 1: sad news about Rush Limbaugh play thirteen and he love
Speaker 1: Catherine was He was telling me so many I mean,
Speaker 1: story after story, how she put up. You know, he's
Speaker 1: a very tough period. This period was he was going
Speaker 1: through hell, and he said that this was he was married.
Speaker 1: He told me he was married to an angel and
Speaker 1: the help and the devotion. And I could see it too.
Speaker 1: I could see it. You could see it when I
Speaker 1: gave him the award, how proud she was. He was just,
Speaker 1: you know, something incredible. But he really loved his family.
Speaker 1: He loved Katherine. One thing I'll say that was always
Speaker 1: a real standout. The people around Rush who worked with
Speaker 1: him who knew him. They were so loyal to him.
Speaker 1: They really believed in him as a talent, but they
Speaker 1: also believed in him as a human being. And yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, mister Snurdley, and while he was still with us,
Speaker 1: Kit Carson and the rest of the Rush team, including
Speaker 1: people that a lot of people I don't think, no,
Speaker 1: because unless you really spend time I'm around the EIB.
Speaker 1: There are people that are working on the websites, there
Speaker 1: are people that are doing things on the production side
Speaker 1: on audio, and they all knew that they were in
Speaker 1: every day on that show in the presence of greatness,
Speaker 1: and they really they really appreciated what that meant and
Speaker 1: what their contributions could be to that. And for Rush's
Speaker 1: wife to be there with him till the very end.
Speaker 1: I never meant to Rush or or his wife, but
Speaker 1: I do know people that were quite close to them.
Speaker 1: I know them people that are close to them very well.
Speaker 1: And you know, that's one of those things you think
Speaker 1: about when you're making that choice for your life partner,
Speaker 1: the person you're going to be with till the very end.
Speaker 1: This is heavy stuff. This is heavy stuff. I still
Speaker 1: feel like today. I'm sure a lot of you have
Speaker 1: this too. It doesn't really feel like Rush isn't going
Speaker 1: to come back on the radio. I don't know how
Speaker 1: else to say it other than that it feels like
Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be looking. I have become a digital
Speaker 1: listener to radio in recent in recent years a lot
Speaker 1: of the time, but I would just be scanning on
Speaker 1: my computer or on my smartphone, and I would just say, Okay,
Speaker 1: all there he is. There he is still hasn't really
Speaker 1: said in yet that we've heard our last Russia Limbaugh show.
Speaker 1: It's been doing. He's been on radio almost as long
Speaker 1: as I've been alive, and so that's just not one
Speaker 1: of those things that you thought would you know, you
Speaker 1: never prepared really mentally as a listener, I think for
Speaker 1: for that day to come. And I know it's so hard.
Speaker 1: I'm seeing the messages and all the all the outpouring
Speaker 1: of support for his legacy, but also grief. People are grieving,
Speaker 1: people are trying to process this in whatever way they can.
Speaker 1: And Trump, you can tell, had had a particular affinity
Speaker 1: for Rush Limbaugh, and Rush did for Trump too. There
Speaker 1: was a connection between those two men. There's there's a certain, yeah,
Speaker 1: larger than life quality, but also a a momentousness, a
Speaker 1: place in history sense that they both had and you
Speaker 1: could just tell there was a mutual respect there. You
Speaker 1: could tell that Donald Trump there. There are very few
Speaker 1: people that I think Donald Trump believes carry the same
Speaker 1: the same confidence, I think would be a way to
Speaker 1: put it, as he does the same self confidence, and
Speaker 1: Rush was certainly one of them and earned every bit
Speaker 1: of it. So it was he hearing former President Trump
Speaker 1: speak about Russia just just a reminder of what we
Speaker 1: what we got used to, and what we don't have
Speaker 1: right now. But Trump clearly thought the world of Russia
Speaker 1: Lomball and that met Medal of Freedom that Rush got.
Speaker 1: I watched that as it happened. I'm sure many of
Speaker 1: you did, and that was a that was a real moment.
Speaker 1: That was a real momentum anyway, I wanted to get
Speaker 1: back into what the what the president I had said here,
Speaker 1: just just one other, one other note. I keep hearing
Speaker 1: people saying what happens now. I've done a lot of
Speaker 1: radio interviews and they've been asking me, well, you're a
Speaker 1: you're an up and coming guy in radio. What do
Speaker 1: you think that what do you think happens in the
Speaker 1: radio world? Saying we try to in all in all
Speaker 1: ways that we can large and small, carry on the movement.
Speaker 1: Really that Rush created carry on the the phenomenon of
Speaker 1: conservative talk radio as a place where we could actually
Speaker 1: say what needed to be said, where there aren't algorithms
Speaker 1: shutting us down, where there aren't terms of service being abused.
Speaker 1: And you know, we'll talk more about the Facebook situation
Speaker 1: a little bit, where all those things are not happening,
Speaker 1: and you can you can talk to people as if
Speaker 1: you're sitting next them in the car or at home
Speaker 1: as they're you know, making dinner or eating eating their
Speaker 1: last meal of the day or in Russia's case, in
Speaker 1: the middle of the day lunch. Um, you know that
Speaker 1: that has to continue on. The country needs needs that.
Speaker 1: There's no one to replace Rush. Ever, it's not a
Speaker 1: it's not a thing that is possible. Um it is.
Speaker 1: It is truly not even really worth asking the question
Speaker 1: because you can't do it, and you shouldn't try, right,
Speaker 1: there's no one who'll be able to there's no filling
Speaker 1: of those shoes, there's no there's no taking up that mantle.
Speaker 1: But when you add all the talk radio hosts out
Speaker 1: there who learned from Rush from listening for years. Who
Speaker 1: befriended him or who are his peers? You know, there's
Speaker 1: some very big names out there still in the conservative
Speaker 1: talk radio world. When everyone continues on with the mission
Speaker 1: and with the movement all together, we can't we can't
Speaker 1: replace Rush ever, But I think we can make him proud,
Speaker 1: and that would be that's my answer for what comes next.
Speaker 1: Let's make Rush Limbaugh looking down on us from above.
Speaker 1: Let's make him proud of the work that we do
Speaker 1: for America as conservatives. And that means people that are
Speaker 1: like me radio hosts. It means people who are just
Speaker 1: believed in what Rush stood for. And we're a part
Speaker 1: of that family of millions and millions of people all
Speaker 1: across the country who tuned into him every day for
Speaker 1: the truth, for connection, for entertainment, and to be a
Speaker 1: part of something. It's all you had to do, isn't
Speaker 1: that really the magic of listening to Rush Limball. All
Speaker 1: you had to do was lend him your ears, and
Speaker 1: you were a part of something. You're in the freedom height.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast to
Speaker 1: get the latest from Buck at buck Sexton dot com. Well,
Speaker 1: I saw that he said that there was no vaccine
Speaker 1: when he came into office, and yet he got a
Speaker 1: shot before he came into office, and it was already
Speaker 1: in early November that we announced it, but we actually
Speaker 1: had it substantially before that, and we were giving millions
Speaker 1: of shots and millions of doses. So he was either
Speaker 1: not telling the truth or he's mentally gone one or
Speaker 1: the other. And he's getting Actually, Joe Biden's being killed
Speaker 1: on that whole thing, because even the haters said, we'll
Speaker 1: wait a minute. You know, this vaccine was announced long before,
Speaker 1: and I believe he got the shot sometime before January twentieth,
Speaker 1: which was inauguration, long before January twentieth. So he made
Speaker 1: the statement that we had like literally quote, we had
Speaker 1: no vaccine when I came into office. Meany when he
Speaker 1: came into office. And he is getting lit up by
Speaker 1: that one, because even the bed was, even the ones
Speaker 1: that aren't exactly fans are saying that was a bad statement.
Speaker 1: It's true. President I'm sorry, I'm going to get better
Speaker 1: the former President Trump here. Uh, It's just it's one
Speaker 1: of those habits. I'm still writing twenty twenty on my
Speaker 1: checks and I'm still calling him President Trump. But I
Speaker 1: know it's former President Trump forty five saying that Joe
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. I look, clearly Biden didn't think that he
Speaker 1: was going to get away with that as a lie
Speaker 1: over the long term. It just goes to show you
Speaker 1: that I think that it's it gets jumbled together in
Speaker 1: his brain, the talking points, and he just knows, bash Trump,
Speaker 1: bash Trump, bash Trump. That's all that really gets processed
Speaker 1: up there. Sometimes for me, the more the more fascinating
Speaker 1: part of it was how Biden said something that is
Speaker 1: that is the the equivalent the equivalent of the sky
Speaker 1: is green. I mean it was you know, the sky
Speaker 1: is not blue, it is green. And instead of journalist
Speaker 1: there were so many of them, I saw them in
Speaker 1: rhyth them instead of journalists saying, well, I mean what
Speaker 1: he just said isn't true. We're sure he'll correct that.
Speaker 1: At some point, they were saying, oh, well, no, it's fine,
Speaker 1: he meant blue. What Why Why does Joe Why does
Speaker 1: Joe Biden get to say something as untrue as there
Speaker 1: was no vaccine when I came into office, And the
Speaker 1: immediate reaction of the people that are supposed to be
Speaker 1: speaking truth to power, the immediate reaction of people who
Speaker 1: are supposed to be holding holding him accountable. Was Oh,
Speaker 1: I mean that's fine, he said, he lied, but we
Speaker 1: know what he meant. This is what they do. This
Speaker 1: is how it is. Could you imagine? I I will
Speaker 1: tell you some days I wake up and I think
Speaker 1: life would be so much easier if I just became
Speaker 1: a smarmy, smug lib. It really would. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I had so many opportunities. Media and everybody in New
Speaker 1: York City. They'd see me going on CNN and high
Speaker 1: fiving bro Cuomo and Anderson Cooper, and they'd say, oh,
Speaker 1: you're doing great, and we'd love all your all your
Speaker 1: concern for you know, the the working class and for
Speaker 1: the uh, you know, for for intersectionality and social justice
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. Oh wouldn't it be amazing? It
Speaker 1: wouldn't be amazing to know that you could be not
Speaker 1: very good at your job. I'm talking about now in
Speaker 1: the media specifically, not very good at your job, not
Speaker 1: very interesting. But you just have to pound the drum
Speaker 1: the way the left tells you to, don't question it,
Speaker 1: and not only will you continue to advance if you
Speaker 1: just have a baseline of competency, but if you make
Speaker 1: a big mistake. If you you know, you punch out
Speaker 1: a bus boy somewhere, or you brucing Mark is bus boy?
Speaker 1: That is there a different term for that? Now? I
Speaker 1: just you know, in our current era, I've been told
Speaker 1: that there's so many things that change. Is there a
Speaker 1: different term? Do we say a busser? I think busser
Speaker 1: is the term? Yeah, busser? Now okay, Well, anyway, you know,
Speaker 1: you punch somebody out or you cause some big problem,
Speaker 1: but you're a liberal. It's maybe he needs a little
Speaker 1: anger management. But he's done great work on MSNBC. You know,
Speaker 1: you know you don't pay your taxes for a long time,
Speaker 1: or an MSNBC host, it's not Hey, you know you're
Speaker 1: a millionaire. Maybe said a good example here. You're always
Speaker 1: talking about how taxes should be high, or maybe you
Speaker 1: should pay yours. It's always all. But his commitment to
Speaker 1: social justice extends beyond Eddie oh Man, wouldn't. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I liked I take myself at this happy place for
Speaker 1: a second of to live life knowing that you don't
Speaker 1: have to deal with the consequences that you expect to
Speaker 1: inflict upon everybody else because you have the politically correct politics.
Speaker 1: It would just be just be like walking around. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know it, don't worry, It's never gonna happen. I
Speaker 1: couldn't live with myself. I couldn't do it. I'm not
Speaker 1: even that I can make the argument for the left.
Speaker 1: But but if I, if I do it for too long,
Speaker 1: or if I do it pretending that I believe it
Speaker 1: even as part of it an intellectual exercise, I start
Speaker 1: to get aggravated. It's it's like verbal kryptonite. It it it
Speaker 1: starts to I feel like my tongue is catching fire
Speaker 1: as I'm saying it. But man, oh, I could Hollywood celebrities, everybody.
Speaker 1: Oh you hear that new liberal Buck Sexton. Oh he's great.
Speaker 1: You know his name is a little funny, but you
Speaker 1: know he's great. He's all. He's on Madou's show all
Speaker 1: the time. Wouldn't it be amazing? Oh? I know, But
Speaker 1: I'd hate myself and everything that I'd say would be
Speaker 1: a lie. So I can't do it. So I can't
Speaker 1: do it. Um, But what are the what are the
Speaker 1: Libs going to be focusing on now now that they're
Speaker 1: they're great? Hate of Donald Trump isn't going to be
Speaker 1: able to carry them quite as far what is next
Speaker 1: for them? Well, Biden insists, insists that he no longer
Speaker 1: even wants to be talking about Trump, that he is
Speaker 1: he has no interest in discussing Donald Trump's shortcomings anymore.
Speaker 1: And I just have to say I don't I don't
Speaker 1: believe them. I don't believe him. Here he is seventeen.
Speaker 1: Before we get back into to the audience, wanted to
Speaker 1: ask just a question about what we've just witnessed. Before
Speaker 1: the Senate voted to quit the former president in the
Speaker 1: impeachment trial, you said you were anxious to see if
Speaker 1: Republican senators would stand up. Only seven did. How Speaker
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi called the rest cowards? Do you agree with her?
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna call names out. I look, for four years,
Speaker 1: all that spending the news is Trump. The next four years,
Speaker 1: I want to make sure all the news is American people.
Speaker 1: I'm tired FU. Yeah, that's right. Democrats don't even want
Speaker 1: to Democrats like Joe Biden, I don't even want to
Speaker 1: talk about Trump. I don't care about Trump. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: gonna whatever do whatever AOC tells me. She's very very smart,
Speaker 1: very smart, no joke, no joke, very smart. Here is
Speaker 1: what happened earlier today, House Democrats introduced a bill to
Speaker 1: quote this is this is real, ban twice impeach presidents
Speaker 1: from burial at Arlington National Cemetery and federal funds from
Speaker 1: going to buildings displaying their names or acknowledging their achievements.
Speaker 1: This bill is called the No Glory for Hate Act.
Speaker 1: Now there's there's a number of layers or number of levels.
Speaker 1: One is you're seeing the pettiness as well as the
Speaker 1: psychosis of the Democrats on display here, these elected Democrats
Speaker 1: in the House representatives. You're seeing what it means for
Speaker 1: them now to be in a position to do things
Speaker 1: like this. They there's nothing that is that is too nasty,
Speaker 1: as I said, too petty. They won't let it go,
Speaker 1: and they really believe that they have an ideological duty.
Speaker 1: And this is what you've seen about Democrats. You see
Speaker 1: it with the way a lot of blue check liberals
Speaker 1: were reacting to Rush Limbaugh's passing yesterday, which was just
Speaker 1: it was so disgusting. I try not not to give
Speaker 1: it really any airtime even talk about it, because people
Speaker 1: they show you how honestly how empty and sad their
Speaker 1: lives are. When they do things like that, someone passes
Speaker 1: away and you don't you didn't like their work, or
Speaker 1: you didn't celebrate them or whatever it may be. Just
Speaker 1: be quiet, just let it go, you know, don't speak
Speaker 1: ill of the dead for at least some period of time.
Speaker 1: I mean not not not the day of Libs can't
Speaker 1: help it. They're crazy, so they completely lose their minds.
Speaker 1: They're all saying awful things about about rush Um, just
Speaker 1: showing who they are. It doesn't it doesn't defame, it
Speaker 1: doesn't detract from Russia's legacy. Just shows why he was
Speaker 1: so important actually to fight against those lunatics. But see
Speaker 1: the same thing with Trump, and I guarantee you that
Speaker 1: you know, in whatever period of time it is when
Speaker 1: when it's finally you know, Trump uh, you know, reaches
Speaker 1: the end of the line, hopefully not for you know,
Speaker 1: decades to come. But they'll be horrible about that too,
Speaker 1: because this is who the left is. They're nasty. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Join the conversation and
Speaker 1: message buck on Facebook, Instagram, or email Team Bucket iHeartMedia
Speaker 1: dot com. He may read it on the show. We
Speaker 1: were the first state to reject the CDC guidance was
Speaker 1: which wasn't going to put seniors first? And we said no, no, no,
Speaker 1: We're putting seniors first. I was criticized by the same
Speaker 1: types of folks for putting seniors first. Well, guess what,
Speaker 1: Florida seniors are glad that we put them first. Today's event,
Speaker 1: where we have the three thousand seniors that was over
Speaker 1: and above what that county had been getting. We saw
Speaker 1: that there was that we needed to get more seniors
Speaker 1: in that particular county. So we work with some of
Speaker 1: the local neighborhoods and said, where is a lot of seniors.
Speaker 1: Where can we go in and knock out several thousand
Speaker 1: very quickly to get those numbers up. And I can
Speaker 1: tell you, Laura, there were an awful lot of very
Speaker 1: happy seniors there. Today there are a lot of smiles
Speaker 1: on their faces. People were able to get vaccines. This
Speaker 1: is one of many things that we're doing to put
Speaker 1: seniors first in Florida. We're not going to stop until
Speaker 1: every senior that wants a shot gets a shot, and
Speaker 1: we're not going to let some of the naysayers slow
Speaker 1: us down. This was actually not a complicated call to make.
Speaker 1: This wasn't a hard call to make. This wasn't something
Speaker 1: that should have been difficult for anybody looking at the data,
Speaker 1: looking at the information. Honestly, the answer to who should
Speaker 1: we get the vaccine to first was always senior citizens
Speaker 1: or seniors. That's been absolutely crystal clear for a year actually,
Speaker 1: I mean, the data on this has shown all along
Speaker 1: that seniors were the ones who are at high risk.
Speaker 1: And yet these states did these different things, and the
Speaker 1: teachers and the essential workers and what's essential and what's not,
Speaker 1: and all the micro management, all the disastrous government interference
Speaker 1: in the process of actually getting I mean, I know
Speaker 1: the governments in charge of it, but they also they
Speaker 1: also slowed it down, right. The federal government helped with
Speaker 1: warp speed to get the vaccine approved and done and there,
Speaker 1: and then it's supposed to be distributed at the state
Speaker 1: and local level, delays upon delays, And there's a lesson here.
Speaker 1: The more a government decides that it's going to micro
Speaker 1: manage something, the more government decides that it's going to
Speaker 1: be in charge, the greater the chances, the greater the
Speaker 1: risks of messing the whole thing up, which is exactly
Speaker 1: what we saw. I mean, one of the worst examples
Speaker 1: of this, or one of the best examples of the
Speaker 1: worst outcome was in New York where they were having
Speaker 1: people throw out Think about this, you have a pandemic
Speaker 1: that is killing people, you have a vaccine that can
Speaker 1: save a lot of lives, and you're going to throw
Speaker 1: out vaccine because you don't want it to get in
Speaker 1: the wrong arms. That's what they were doing here in
Speaker 1: New York. Thanks Governor Cuomo. Right as we know, the
Speaker 1: hero turned villain of COVID pandemic response. I'm wondering, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna say this. I'm wondering if we are ever
Speaker 1: going to see the day when people realize what a smug,
Speaker 1: little fraud Fauci is a what just a smarmy, little
Speaker 1: two faced democrat. Fouci was all along, Oh, I'm just
Speaker 1: here to tell you the data and to science. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't make I don't make real big decisions. Pass
Speaker 1: that off to you. I just tell you do this
Speaker 1: thing or you're all gonna die. And and the government
Speaker 1: listens to me. But I'm not actually making the conclusion
Speaker 1: for you. I'm just saying, here is a conclusion you
Speaker 1: should make, or else everyone is gonna die. And it
Speaker 1: will be your fault. Thanks Fouch. Gosh, that that really
Speaker 1: clarifies things, doesn't It makes everything so much easier for everybody.
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm furious about what he's done. I really am.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna let it go because
Speaker 1: the same way that we've seen when the truth, when
Speaker 1: the truth came out about Fouch, I'm sorry about Cuomo,
Speaker 1: and now it's unavoidable. I think we will get to
Speaker 1: a point where everybody realizes. When I say everybody, I
Speaker 1: mean smart, reasonable people who actually pay attention to reality.
Speaker 1: There's you're always gonna have the cult of Fauci out there.
Speaker 1: Fouci saved us. Really, I was just gonna ask them,
Speaker 1: what did he save us from the pandemic? No huge
Speaker 1: numbers of infections all across the country, no very high
Speaker 1: death toll. Nope. What what was it that that Fauci's
Speaker 1: advice resulted in that you can point to and say, see,
Speaker 1: we got that. I mean, the vaccine was private sector
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical companies. That wasn't Faucci. Wash your hands, wipe down
Speaker 1: your groceries. Remember that people were people were actually wiping
Speaker 1: down their groceries because they were afraid that their groceries
Speaker 1: were covered in COVID. There's there's still the cleaning of
Speaker 1: the New York City subway that goes on at night.
Speaker 1: I'm sure at an enormous cost for a city that
Speaker 1: is bleeding revenue and it's tax base all the time.
Speaker 1: For what Because pandemic theater makes certain certain authoritarian libs
Speaker 1: feel better about things, doesn't actually make a safer science
Speaker 1: doesn't support it. But you know, that's that's what we've
Speaker 1: been that's what we've been through. I'm so pleased that
Speaker 1: Ronda Santis held the line as I've been saying, and
Speaker 1: has gotten results of people. I mean, he's he's saved lives.
Speaker 1: Cuomo has cost people, has cost lives in his state
Speaker 1: because he's a thug and a brute and a moron. DeSantis,
Speaker 1: with the entirety of the Democrat corporate media just trying
Speaker 1: to trash him and tear him down, de Santis has
Speaker 1: had results that you could look at and say, clearly,
Speaker 1: businesses were saved, livelihoods were saved, and lives were saved.
Speaker 1: You know, there was a big fight I know about
Speaker 1: this from the from the White House at the top level. Actually,
Speaker 1: there was a big fight because the White House was
Speaker 1: trying to push for it to just be the federal
Speaker 1: policy across the board to get this to seniors. Just
Speaker 1: get it to seniors as fast as possible, save as
Speaker 1: many lives as possible. Is the Trump White House talking about.
Speaker 1: And Nope, Fauci and the bureaucrats, where we gotta get
Speaker 1: it to frontline workers. You got to you remember in
Speaker 1: the hospitals. One of the slowdowns in the hospital system
Speaker 1: was when they were distributing the vaccine. There were so
Speaker 1: many hospital workers who didn't want to get it, meaning
Speaker 1: the vaccine, didn't want to take it. A lot of
Speaker 1: them had probably already been exposed and thought that they
Speaker 1: had it, maybe they knew they'd already had it. But
Speaker 1: there were also people who just figured, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: thirty five, I'm gonna just take my chances. I don't
Speaker 1: need to do this. But were there were lines of people,
Speaker 1: I know because my family members were in them, lines
Speaker 1: of people, you know, thousands long, all across New York
Speaker 1: City and in similar situations, similar places across the country
Speaker 1: where you had seniors who were at considerable risk from
Speaker 1: COVID waiting and waiting and waiting, but Leadership means making
Speaker 1: the right decision when it's hard. Leadership does not mean
Speaker 1: doing the thing that gets the New York Times editorial
Speaker 1: page to write nice stuff about you. That's not leadership.
Speaker 1: That's that's pandering, that's partisanship, it's vanity. It's not leadership.
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to give up on this one.
Speaker 1: And until people realize that Fauci led us into unnecessary
Speaker 1: lockdowns that ruined lives, that cause suicides and massive drug overdoses,
Speaker 1: and and you know, at the down the list, I'd
Speaker 1: say yes, and did certainly cost Trump the election. But
Speaker 1: my my bigger concern is for humanity and our fellow
Speaker 1: Americans and what we've all been put through here. Until
Speaker 1: until there is a real reckoning with that, I will
Speaker 1: not stop. I am not I'm not letting the Fauci
Speaker 1: lockdown go without at least a reckoning. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Fuck on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Speaker 1: Put this one in the Buck called it file. I
Speaker 1: know it's getting to be a pretty big file. I
Speaker 1: don't mean to be immodest about it, but call him
Speaker 1: like I see him, and I call him in advance,
Speaker 1: and I get it right. A lot of stuff. Political prediction, elections,
Speaker 1: that's not that's not my thing. What movements and what power,
Speaker 1: what people in power will do their decision making. Oh,
Speaker 1: I can see that coming a mile away. And here
Speaker 1: with Facebook, this is exactly as I thought it would.
Speaker 1: It would start to happen in this way Facebook, this
Speaker 1: is Yahoo Finance today. To label climate change posts like
Speaker 1: COVID and voting content, Facebook Incorporated will begin labeling some
Speaker 1: user posts that mentioned climate change in the same way
Speaker 1: it has annotated posts discussing elections and COVID nineteen signed.
Speaker 1: The social network is taking climate related misinformation more seriously.
Speaker 1: The labels will direct users to Facebook's Client Science I'm
Speaker 1: Sorry Climate Science Information Center, an existing hub that includes
Speaker 1: related news articles, climate change data, and recommendations for pages
Speaker 1: to follow. The new labels will be added to some
Speaker 1: posts about climate change, regardless of their accuracy, a strategy
Speaker 1: Facebook has used widely on other topics to fight falsehoods.
Speaker 1: Chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg has argued the best way
Speaker 1: to keep misinformation from spreading on its network is not
Speaker 1: just to remove misleading posts, but to offer people accurate
Speaker 1: information from authoritative sources. The labels are rolling out to
Speaker 1: users in the UK. It plans to bring them to
Speaker 1: other countries soon. According to Facebook official blog post, this
Speaker 1: is the social media censorship in totalitarianism that I've been
Speaker 1: warning about for a long time, and the next escalation
Speaker 1: of it. Notice how I've been saying to you. You
Speaker 1: think they're just going to use the power of lockdowns
Speaker 1: for COVID, think again. Now, we also have to understand
Speaker 1: that part of what we've gone through here in lockdowns
Speaker 1: is the normalization of social media platforms, of media companies
Speaker 1: determining what you can and cannot say about core public policy,
Speaker 1: about essential areas of public debate, And obviously lockdowns and
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen response fall into that category. But they say
Speaker 1: that things are they say that it's misinformation, and then
Speaker 1: and then they shut you down, they take action against you,
Speaker 1: and the whole thing is rigged. Friends, It's all rigged.
Speaker 1: And I really start to wonder, you know, about some
Speaker 1: of these people who are opposed conservatives, who never seem
Speaker 1: to have a problem. You know, they're they're the big
Speaker 1: truth to power people, but they don't ever get kicked
Speaker 1: off of Facebook. I've been shut down on Facebook so
Speaker 1: many times. I mean, and I want to tell you,
Speaker 1: but there's some people that never seem to have a problem.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, really in a free speech but got really
Speaker 1: nice Facebook following. Is making a lot of money from Facebook.
Speaker 1: But you know, speaking truth to power of I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep a closer eye on that. I think that's very
Speaker 1: interesting something to note for later. But I told you
Speaker 1: that they would expand beyond just the COVID nineteen stuff
Speaker 1: when it comes to the way that they are using
Speaker 1: their power. And this is exactly that climate change denialism
Speaker 1: is now going to be erased from the Internet in
Speaker 1: the most important platforms and in the most impactful way.
Speaker 1: They're gonna say that, and people say, oh, they're just
Speaker 1: going to add context. No, no, no, that's actually not
Speaker 1: how it works. They do as they'll they'll hit you
Speaker 1: with some and then they've done this to me on
Speaker 1: COVID so many times. What I say about COVID is true.
Speaker 1: They can not like my feelings on it, they cannot
Speaker 1: like my predictions. But I don't say things that are
Speaker 1: demonstrably false about COVID. They're still they still ding me
Speaker 1: all the time. They have They've hit me for making predictions.
Speaker 1: So if I say, here's what I think is going
Speaker 1: to happen in three months when it comes to mass
Speaker 1: compliance or something up, I'll get I'll get a thing
Speaker 1: from Facebook. Oh you've been restricted. You violated our terms
Speaker 1: of servant. What do you mean, I can't, I can't
Speaker 1: make a prediction. Nope, not allowed disinformation, they say. Now
Speaker 1: understand the people that are determining what qualifies this disinformation,
Speaker 1: our little left wing activist totalitarians themselves. You know, they're
Speaker 1: they're a bunch of left wing MSNBC watching, angry tweeting
Speaker 1: people who hate Trump, who hate the right, who hate
Speaker 1: the free exchange of ideas. They believe that they have
Speaker 1: a hold on truth and nothing can be allowed to
Speaker 1: challenge that, nothing can be allowed to get in the
Speaker 1: way of that. That's where they are, That's what they
Speaker 1: really think, that's what they really believe. And now we
Speaker 1: find ourselves seeing exactly how they're gonna play this game.
Speaker 1: What they're going to do next. Climate misinformation is going
Speaker 1: to be flagged? Now, really, climate misinformation? I just want
Speaker 1: to know, do you think that they will go back
Speaker 1: and flag or point out all the things that have
Speaker 1: been said about climate by the climate consensus. People that
Speaker 1: are wrong, do you think, do you think that the
Speaker 1: fact checkers at Facebook or are gonna run any any
Speaker 1: checks on the predictions made and say an inconvenient truth
Speaker 1: al Gore's preposterously stupid movie and then come out and say,
Speaker 1: you know what, there was some stuff then, so if
Speaker 1: you're going to cite it, understand you're citing a very
Speaker 1: very flawed film. No, of course not. In fact, the
Speaker 1: real experiment to Rome would be to say, to show
Speaker 1: that no matter how extreme your predictions of climate change catastrophism,
Speaker 1: or no matter what you say about how how dangerous
Speaker 1: climate change is, you'll be fine. They'll never They'll never
Speaker 1: shut down your account. Facebook will not de internet you
Speaker 1: if you will, will not deperson you from the Internet
Speaker 1: because you say climate change is going to end the
Speaker 1: world a lot sooner than you know, a hundred years,
Speaker 1: or you say I think we have five years left
Speaker 1: because of climate change, five years left before the whole
Speaker 1: world ends, and therefore any action the government chooses to
Speaker 1: take is entirely justified. They're not gonna they're not gonna
Speaker 1: hit you with anything for that's not misinformation that sounds
Speaker 1: like science. Yeah, I know. The expanded labels Yahoo reports
Speaker 1: were announced alongside a handful of other climate related updates,
Speaker 1: Facebook is adding a new section to its information center
Speaker 1: dedicated to debunking climate change myths. The myths will be
Speaker 1: refuted by experts from a number of universities, including George
Speaker 1: Mason University University at Cambridge. It's not clear how many
Speaker 1: people have visited Facebook's Climate science information center to date,
Speaker 1: though the company has said more than six hundred million
Speaker 1: people clicked on a similar information hub dedicated to COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen information. The climate related hub is now available in
Speaker 1: sixteen countries. These social media companies are more powerful than
Speaker 1: governments now, you know in Australia, because there's a dispute
Speaker 1: over how Facebook needs to actually pay for the news
Speaker 1: that it's sharing on its platform, right that it benefits
Speaker 1: from sharing other people's work all the time. In Australia,
Speaker 1: now Facebook has said okay, no more news for you.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is remarkable. The Australian government is in
Speaker 1: a contest of wills with Facebook, and so far Facebook
Speaker 1: has said fine, here you go. Facebook surprises Australians with
Speaker 1: news blackout. Users confused by latest move in the deepening
Speaker 1: spat over payment for content. There you go, Facebook, opposes
Speaker 1: legislation by the Australian government that would effectively require big
Speaker 1: tech companies to pay the countries media outlets for content.
Speaker 1: The legislation, which is being watched globally and could offer
Speaker 1: a model for other governments to follow, is working its
Speaker 1: way through the country's parliament. To Australian users, the Facebook
Speaker 1: pages belonging to social media outlets and Australian overseas appeared
Speaker 1: blank on Thursday, with the message saying no posts yet.
Speaker 1: So this is what Facebook does. You're going to pass
Speaker 1: legislation that's going to force Facebook to comply with something.
Speaker 1: They punish you, they take action against you. You know,
Speaker 1: when the Terminator movies, when Great Movies, of course is
Speaker 1: the first two. There's no movies after, there's no you know,
Speaker 1: there's just those two. There's no other Terminator movies. I
Speaker 1: mean there are, but you know what I'm saying. You know,
Speaker 1: in the fantastic Terminator Movies, there's the Skynet became self aware,
Speaker 1: and that's the moment that the massive nuclear holocaust happens
Speaker 1: and humanity is almost extincted everything else because Skynet realizes, hey,
Speaker 1: we we're pretty powerful here as a computer artificial intelligence,
Speaker 1: So we're just gonna do what we want to do.
Speaker 1: Facebook is self aware the way that Skynet was. It'll
Speaker 1: take on anybody and it'll destroy anybody that it has
Speaker 1: to so that it can have absolute power in its domain.
Speaker 1: That's what they're trying to accomplish. Here. This is the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Join the conversation and message Buck
Speaker 1: on Facebook, Instagram, or email Team Bucket iHeartMedia dot com.
Speaker 1: He may read it on the show Liberty, Truth and Great.
Speaker 1: Here now, roll call Mark. I think we might have
Speaker 1: to retire the congolide music too. Here, All right, what's
Speaker 1: wrong with this one? We gotta we gotta be a
Speaker 1: little more choosy, we gotta be a little more picky
Speaker 1: about our I don't mind this one really, Yeah, what's
Speaker 1: wrong with it? I mean it's got a little spunk,
Speaker 1: I suppose, but it's it's a little a little a
Speaker 1: little weird. I don't know. You know, I guess if
Speaker 1: it was like a bright sunny day and you had
Speaker 1: a drink with one of those umbrellas in it, you know,
Speaker 1: little umbrellas. I feel like they don't do that as
Speaker 1: much anymore. Yeah, what do you need the umbrella for
Speaker 1: I'd rather like a slice of pineapple or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it makes it makes it look cool, but I think
Speaker 1: you put the umbrella in the slice of pineapple, which
Speaker 1: that just feels like a whole other universe away as
Speaker 1: I am in in blizzard ridden New York City right now.
Speaker 1: And actually, and on a serious note, I know when
Speaker 1: Roll call, it's going to send thoughts and prayers out
Speaker 1: to everybody and Texas and still dealing with that deep freeze.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got snow here in New York, but
Speaker 1: we're fine. I know in Texas they got power out.
Speaker 1: They you know, I'm talking to friends down there who
Speaker 1: are in a really tough spot. I mean, you can
Speaker 1: you imagine being stuck in a place where you have
Speaker 1: no access to electricity or heat and it's basically zero
Speaker 1: degrees outside. Your home has no heat, you have no electricity,
Speaker 1: it's zero degrees outside, and millions of people in Texas
Speaker 1: are in that situation. So thoughts and prayers go out
Speaker 1: to all of them. And you know, actually, Producer Mark,
Speaker 1: did we have I think we had something from Governor.
Speaker 1: I know we're in Roll. You know what we'll get.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that story tomorrow. We'll hold that we'll
Speaker 1: do updates on that story tomorrow because I really also
Speaker 1: want to try to get either our friend Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: ben ferguson one of our Texas based radio host buddies,
Speaker 1: to come on and tell us what's going on down there,
Speaker 1: because it is it is. It is tough, tough situation.

Speaker 1: let's get to it. Kristen buck I love your show
Speaker 1: and I'm lucky to be able to listen daily. I
Speaker 1: wanted to thank you for being the one to take
Speaker 1: a bullet for the rest of us, and listening to
Speaker 1: all the most annoying leftists for their comments and idiocy.
Speaker 1: I know I could never do what you do, but
Speaker 1: I'm thankful how much you go through on a daily
Speaker 1: basis to give us the full story. Thanks again, and
Speaker 1: Shields High, Well, thank you so much, Christin. I appreciate
Speaker 1: you listen to the show on a daily basis. And
Speaker 1: I have to be fair, you know, the first line
Speaker 1: of annoying listening to things our our first line of
Speaker 1: defense against lunatic leftists, and the first guy that has
Speaker 1: to take the take that incoming barrage is, in fact,
Speaker 1: producer Mark, producer Mark. Are your ear drums? Okay? Yes,
Speaker 1: my ear drums will survive at least I hope so,
Speaker 1: because if not, you'll need a new producer. Who do
Speaker 1: you think has the most annoying voice in TV news? Oh? Wow,
Speaker 1: Joy Basar, good call. Yeah, I think I think that's
Speaker 1: a solid answer. I think that one she was, She's
Speaker 1: a comedian. Some people have certain jobs. How did she
Speaker 1: become a political commentator? I mean, how does something? And
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I don't like to be mean.
Speaker 1: I'm sure she'd say all kinds of media. First of all,
Speaker 1: she's one of these people to click oh Buck sexted,
Speaker 1: you know, like his name is like a pod star,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I get it, you know, fine,
Speaker 1: but really a political analyst? Was she ever a good comedian?
Speaker 1: And do you know, Mark, did you ever see her stuff?
Speaker 1: I can't say I've been watching Joy Behar stand up
Speaker 1: in my life. No. Man, can you imagine someone doesn't
Speaker 1: that there's clips on YouTube. I'm sure she does. We
Speaker 1: probably find some of back in the day, but you
Speaker 1: know that she's a political analyst. To me, it's just
Speaker 1: you know, you know, Donald Trump is the worst, and
Speaker 1: I hate his face and he's awful, you know, the whole.
Speaker 1: Oh god, I prefer Hillary's voice Hello, which is kind
Speaker 1: of similar to Joy beharn away. So you know what
Speaker 1: is jarring to actually hear Hillary Clinton speak because of you?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I know. Well, I like to get
Speaker 1: it stuck in people's heads. It's like it's like the
Speaker 1: Baby Shark song. Once you plant it in there, you
Speaker 1: can't get it. So now every time Hillary walks up
Speaker 1: to a mic, she does her whole I ain't want
Speaker 1: to see hello on it. And then it's just hello,
Speaker 1: you know, it just jump jumps out of people right away.
Speaker 1: They know that that's actually whatever Hillary saying. What they're
Speaker 1: hearing is my version of Hillary, which is which is
Speaker 1: better anyway, So it's less offensive, actually believe it or not,
Speaker 1: my Hillary impression less offensive to your ear drums. Then
Speaker 1: listening to that person actually speak, That's what I'm here for.
Speaker 1: Let's see. Kyle Rush had the uncommon ability to communicate
Speaker 1: common sense. He could put into words the thoughts of millions.
Speaker 1: A man with the power to change careers and move
Speaker 1: the stock market just by using words. A man with
Speaker 1: that much power, yet he was always restrained. Rush had
Speaker 1: served his life's purpose. He had done what God needed
Speaker 1: him to do, and God called him home rest in
Speaker 1: peace to the King and the greatest to ever do it.
Speaker 1: Kyle very well said, and you Rush was a generous, magnanimous,
Speaker 1: really decent force in America, and we all miss him.
Speaker 1: We all miss him. I don't know how we can
Speaker 1: say it better really than that. I mean, there's some
Speaker 1: in the simplicity of that. There's so much truth. We
Speaker 1: just we missed the guy. And as for achieving his
Speaker 1: life's purpose, which I think is isn't that really the
Speaker 1: thing that we would all want to be said about us?
Speaker 1: Whenever our time comes and we don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: We all hope to make it into our seventies or
Speaker 1: eighties or nineties. You know, we all hope to lead
Speaker 1: a nice, long life. But whenever that day comes, you
Speaker 1: definitely want those who knew you to be able to
Speaker 1: say and to know it's true he or she lived
Speaker 1: out their life's purpose. TJ. Buck, I've got four words.
Speaker 1: DeSantis is the way I know. I know it's too
Speaker 1: far to tell who really has the potential to take
Speaker 1: the reins for twenty twenty four, but Desantist is leading
Speaker 1: the pack in my opinion. I listen to a variety
Speaker 1: of conservative podcasters, some of which are more critical of
Speaker 1: Trump than others, but one thing that's been consistent in
Speaker 1: all of them is that they love de Santis, and
Speaker 1: I tend to agree. I think the January riot is
Speaker 1: going to be a litmus test in the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four election for Republicans, and any House members or centers
Speaker 1: that are running for president are going to have some
Speaker 1: toxicity attached to them, whether they voted with or against Trump.
Speaker 1: DeSantis has an advantage of being removed from a second
Speaker 1: impeachment trial altogether, and therefore he can honestly claim things
Speaker 1: like it doesn't matter what his opinion what his opinion was,
Speaker 1: because it had no bearing on the results of the impeachment,
Speaker 1: or that he was too busy trying to keep his
Speaker 1: state open in the face of hostile administration from Biden
Speaker 1: to care about the impeachment trial. There are lessons to
Speaker 1: be learned from January six, no doubt, but for the
Speaker 1: GOP to be able to win in twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty four, we have to find a way
Speaker 1: to come together on our differences around the riot and
Speaker 1: move on. DeSantis is the way soon. That's a reference
Speaker 1: to this is the Way from the Mandalorian. And I
Speaker 1: still can't believe the producer Mark thinks that Star Wars
Speaker 1: is for nerds. So I'm just yeah, I never said that.
Speaker 1: If you like Star Wars like store Star Wars, it's
Speaker 1: just not my cup of tea. I know, I try
Speaker 1: to slip I try to slip that one under the wire.
Speaker 1: Producer Mark is he like, what do you call it
Speaker 1: when a goalie in hockey makes a great save? Is
Speaker 1: there a term for it rob them. Okay. I was
Speaker 1: wondering if there's some you know, when they use the
Speaker 1: stick and they raise it up. I've never okay, question
Speaker 1: for you. I've never understood in hockey, can you catch
Speaker 1: the puck if it's in the air and put it
Speaker 1: on the ground or not? If you're a player, or
Speaker 1: if you're a goalie player a player can They're just
Speaker 1: not allowed. They can't pick up the puck and throw
Speaker 1: it to another teammate, but they could place it in
Speaker 1: front of them and throw it to themselves. So you
Speaker 1: can catch it in the air, yes, and put it down, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: but you can't play it with your hand to another player,
Speaker 1: and you can't play it with your stick if it's
Speaker 1: above the crossbar on the goal. How. I know, there's random,
Speaker 1: but you know we got time today. It's we're in
Speaker 1: the middle of a snowstorm here. Whynot? How is it
Speaker 1: fun to be a goalie and I could being a
Speaker 1: player that skates out there and get to like throw
Speaker 1: people into that I get, I don't. You don't need
Speaker 1: to explain that one to me. Right, you're skating all
Speaker 1: over the place, you're throwing checks, you're doing the stick
Speaker 1: work and you're hitting slap shots. It seems to me
Speaker 1: like being a goalie, which just kind of be bluh.
Speaker 1: Goalies are a special breed. So I used to talk
Speaker 1: to players all the time, you know, I was a
Speaker 1: reporter for the Islanders. The goalies were always the oddest characters.
Speaker 1: That's for sure. You're not allowed to talk to them
Speaker 1: on game day. You basically can't make eye contact with them.
Speaker 1: Even the other players say that the goalies are weird.
Speaker 1: They're just a special animal, because I gotta assume. Also,
Speaker 1: if you catch I know they got a lot of
Speaker 1: pads on, but if you catch a big slap shot
Speaker 1: in the wrong place, that's gotta hurt. Oh yeah, gotta hurt.
Speaker 1: And there's certain very small areas on a goalies body
Speaker 1: that aren't covered by any padding, Like you can get
Speaker 1: one up in the neck if it, you know, bounces
Speaker 1: the wrong way, it happens. I feel like I used
Speaker 1: to all. I've seen old hockey games where they had
Speaker 1: a helmet on but not anything covering their face. Am
Speaker 1: I Is that correct? The goalie no, no, no no, no, no
Speaker 1: no no no. The average and the players just these players,
Speaker 1: I mean, now it's mandated that they have to wear
Speaker 1: a visor right, which at least covers their eyes, but
Speaker 1: their faces unprotected. And goalies when hockey first started, there
Speaker 1: was no such thing as masks. Oh my, they used
Speaker 1: to play without masks, uh, you know, or helmets or anything.
Speaker 1: I always I always telling people, it's like one reason
Speaker 1: I was never I love bask I love playing basketball,
Speaker 1: and I loved I love soccer, which I know makes
Speaker 1: me barely American, but I love basketball, soccer, tennis. And
Speaker 1: I liked some aspects of baseball. I loved hitting. Hitting
Speaker 1: is great. I love just crushing the ball, and I
Speaker 1: was actually pretty good at hitting, but the ball coming
Speaker 1: at you real fast, I gotta tell you. I was
Speaker 1: always like, oh, man, like wait for the pitcher. That
Speaker 1: to me, because you know they always say, oh, you're fine,
Speaker 1: You're fine. I had a I had a teacher in
Speaker 1: It was seventh grade English class who played in a
Speaker 1: men's softball league in Staten Island in New York. And
Speaker 1: I will never forget this because I saw his face
Speaker 1: when he came back in after he was out for
Speaker 1: like a week, and he caught a line drive with
Speaker 1: one of those you know the softballs they play with.
Speaker 1: They're actually kind of they're like, it's like a big baseball,
Speaker 1: you know, essentially, And he took a line drive right
Speaker 1: into the face. He had to have reconstructive surgery on
Speaker 1: his cheek and on his jaw, and I remembers being like,
Speaker 1: it's not for me. I know, I don't know. They
Speaker 1: always say, don't be afraid of the ball and you'll
Speaker 1: you'll be fine. But I was kind of like in basketball,
Speaker 1: it hits you in the face, hits you in the nose,
Speaker 1: you get a bloody nose, You're fine. You catch you
Speaker 1: a line drive right into the right into the jaw,
Speaker 1: and it's a rough day. It's a rough days that
Speaker 1: or if you're a batter, if the pitcher loses control
Speaker 1: once and you don't get out of the way quick enough,
Speaker 1: that hurts. Yeah, and there were helmets, but no one
Speaker 1: wears like a face guard or anything, right. Some players
Speaker 1: will have had problems in the past with getting hit
Speaker 1: in the face. Do where something that extends to kind
Speaker 1: of protect their face, But you can't have too much
Speaker 1: there because you need to be able to see. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know, But then again, you know, you could
Speaker 1: be really crazy and all and play rugby. So there's
Speaker 1: there's always the next level. There's actually some some weird
Speaker 1: show on Netflix that was sports. It was like bizarre
Speaker 1: Sports from around the world, and in I think it's
Speaker 1: in Florence, Italy, they have some Uh it's kind of
Speaker 1: like if you had MMA, but instead of one on one,
Speaker 1: it's like thirty on thirty and it's captured the flag.
Speaker 1: But you can punch, kick, and tackle people to the
Speaker 1: ground like you can punch them in the face. You
Speaker 1: can throw a high kick or whatever. It's the crazy
Speaker 1: I can't remember the name of it, but it was
Speaker 1: a it was a real I watched the show US like,
Speaker 1: what is this? You had all these crazy at talent,
Speaker 1: you know, And I'm just saying, there's some crazy sports
Speaker 1: out there that you could probably get in. That one
Speaker 1: doesn't even sound mildly fun. Yeah, no, any sport, any
Speaker 1: sport where you can lose teeth. I feel like he's
Speaker 1: not really my but I know that it happens in hockey.
Speaker 1: Happens in hockey, all right, TJ as for us, Sorry
Speaker 1: I got distracted. Ronda Santis. Yes, he's great, done a
Speaker 1: fantastic job. I'd love to see the GOP rally around
Speaker 1: him as a real contender in twenty twenty four because
Speaker 1: it's results based, and I think that's that's an easy
Speaker 1: thing for people to get excited about. This is the
Speaker 1: Fuck Sexton Show podcast. Follow Fuck on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Speaker 1: All right, roll call continuing here, Maureen, Hey, boxer and
Speaker 1: producer Mark love you guys. So if one six was
Speaker 1: I'm sorry January sixth was an insurrection? What was the attack?
Speaker 1: The assault and the breach of the heart Federal Senate
Speaker 1: building in the Capitol by violent protesters who were upset
Speaker 1: that Kavanaugh got appointed to the Supreme Court. That happened
Speaker 1: in the Capitol. But I didn't hear a peep out
Speaker 1: of the Democrats over that. Weren't they scared that a
Speaker 1: capitol building got breached and politicians were at risk? Wasn't
Speaker 1: that an insurrection? The double standard hypocrisy is getting harder
Speaker 1: and harder to tolerate. Head seemed to start rolling when
Speaker 1: we get the majority in twenty twenty two, metaphorically speaking,
Speaker 1: no more, mister nice guy. Thanks for all you both do. Maureen,
Speaker 1: I know what you're referring to it. They did a
Speaker 1: kind of a mass sit in in his Senate building
Speaker 1: during the Kavanaugh thingum that you know, Look, I'll just
Speaker 1: tell you they would say if if libs were listening
Speaker 1: to this, what they would argue, or what their response
Speaker 1: to your writing in would be, is that it was
Speaker 1: the certification of the presidential vote in the United States capital.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of violence against police, although it
Speaker 1: does seem that none of the lethal none of the
Speaker 1: lethal violence was about was against police. The only person
Speaker 1: who seemed to die from actual lethal intent was a protester,
Speaker 1: as we know. But they they would say that that's
Speaker 1: that there was a it was a different circumstances. Now,
Speaker 1: your point about how they're allowed to just flood into
Speaker 1: a Senate building and make demands, that's valid, and I mean,
Speaker 1: you're you're right to point that out. But they would
Speaker 1: say that it's not a it's look and they wouldn't
Speaker 1: care if it was an Apple comparison, because they're just
Speaker 1: using this for as much political leverage as they possibly can. Anyway,
Speaker 1: thank you, Maureen for right again. Marshall. I woke to
Speaker 1: the sad news that our voice had passed. My heart
Speaker 1: is heavy. It's a bit frightening to think that during
Speaker 1: this time of political insanity, we the conservative people have
Speaker 1: lost our General, our counsel, our voice of strength and reason.
Speaker 1: We needed him now more than ever. No one person
Speaker 1: can replace his voice to keep his audience and listeners rallied.
Speaker 1: But I am certain that the day, as the day
